Chapter 542: The Undead and the Undead (3)
[Chain Lightning], which is used by Alice's hands, is not a matter of a few jumps or a dozen jumps, the golden light flashes away, and rows of skeletons turn into broken bones and scatter all over the ground.
Their souls have been scattered by the powerful lightning energy, and without the existence of their souls, these have also become the most ordinary white bones, and there is no negative energy left at all.
But to be honest, Alice shouldn't use magic like [Chain Lightning] at this time, not that the power is not good, but the cost performance is too low, if you use other magic now, presumably the skeletons killed will be several times as many as now.
However, it doesn't matter, Alice has such confidence that even if she chooses the wrong magic, she believes that her strength can win, and besides, using lightning to defeat skeletons is also in some ways wanting to see, hoping to see what kind of response death can make.
Once again, Alice was disappointed that the response to death was not to use magic to add defense to the skeletons, or to increase their movement speed or perform other buffs.
It's still a familiar crowd tactic, or an old-fashioned crowd tactic, I can't see a little bit of mind, no, let alone mind, not even a little bit of micro-innovation.
Collision, fire, and lightning have all been tried, and these are all spells that have been proven to be effective against the undead, especially skeletons.
Now Alice wants to use, what she wants to try is something else, a little more out of the way, not suitable for dealing with the magic of the undead, if it is suitable for dealing with the magic of the undead to deal with skeletons, death can not be solved by an effective way, it is understandable.
So if he can't find a way to deal with even the magic that is out of the way and is not suitable for dealing with the undead, and still adopts the same crowd tactics, then Alice really seriously doubts whether this death, which is juxtaposed with war, plague, and famine, has the qualifications to be called a knight.
However, at this time, the skeleton was already less than fifty meters away from where Alice was, even if there was a swamp blocking it, which slowed down the skeleton's progress, but it was only a difference between ten minutes and fifteen minutes.
"Give this a try. ”
Here she said to herself, one of her hands still stretched forward, her five fingers spread, maintaining the magic of defense, and the hand that had just released the [Chain Lightning] pointed to the ground, to be precise, to the swampy ground that had just been created by the [Swamp Technique].
A bright green flash flickered from the tip of your index finger so fast that you wondered if you were hallucinating, but a few seconds later, strings of white bubbles appeared in the soft muddy swamp, making a strange gurgling sound.
Not only that, but white smoke began to appear on the surface of the swamp, and there was a pungent stench, which was no stranger to a wizard who had studied orthodoxy, and it was the case of some kind of acid corroding things.
[Acid Swamp] is a new spell developed by Alice based on spells such as [Acid Missile] and [Acid Ray] and [Swamp].
The inspiration for this also came from the battle, where processed potions were dropped from ships to deliver a blanket blow to enemies in the sea, turning liquids into acid and attacking them everywhere.
The reason for this spell in the first place was simply because the effect of [Swamp Technique] was too single, and the lethality was too weak to weaken the enemy's combat power well.
Transforming into [Acid Swamp] is different, while retaining the unique viscosity and hysteresis of swamps, it also increases corrosiveness, and when the enemy walks into the swamp, they need to face not only the problems of ordinary swamps, but also the acid that constantly corrodes themselves while being slowed down.
The white smoke and stench in the air indicated that the skeletons used to act as ladders in the swamp were being corroded by acid, and the bones that looked so fragile had no ability to defend against acid corrosion.
Soon, the skeletons inside the swamp were corroded, and those who were stepping on the stairs fell into the swamp and soon followed in the footsteps of their predecessors.
This made the efforts made by the skeletons just now in vain, and fortunately, the skeletons are low-level undead who have no wisdom and can't think, if they are normal creatures, in the face of such a blow, it is estimated that their morale will collapse all of a sudden, and they will flee.
The obstruction of the skeleton warriors made the pace of the skeleton legion's advance suddenly stagnate, and in the face of this strange acid swamp, it was useless to rush into it with many skeletons, and the so-called crowd tactics became worthless in the case of weak personal strength.
In the face of such a situation, the death side may be at a loss, maybe she is preparing another hole card, but Alice is happy, she made this [acid swamp] A lot of things only exist in the theory public, and now it is the first time to use it in the cast, but I didn't expect to achieve such good results.
No, not only that, this spell can deal with not only skeletons, but also has a significant effect on other creatures, and this magic is very hidden, when casting [Swamp Magic] to trap the enemy, when the enemy thinks this magic is all there is to it, the rapid conversion to [Acid Swamp] will give the enemy a surprise.
What's more, the difficulty of this magic is very low, and it has a great popularity, which means that those spellcasters in the Baltic Empire can use the ability of collective spellcasting to cast such magic.
In just a few seconds, Alice thought a lot, about this magic, how to promote it, how to further increase the power, how to reduce the difficulty of casting spells, and reduce the amount of magic consumed.
But now, in the middle of the battlefield, her enemies wouldn't give her such a chance to stand and think, and when the skeleton warriors were held back on the outskirts of the swamp and unable to advance, death began to control the army and began to move.
That acid swamp is indeed a big problem, and there is no solution to it by relying only on a monotonous and non-spell-casting class like skeletons.
So, Death used the dumbest and most effective method, controlling the army to try to get around the swamp, and since it seemed to him that since it was impossible to advance, it was better to go around, anyway, the army could move, but the swamp could not move.
……
……
……
If Alice still had a little expectation of death just now, thinking that he had the ability to refresh her, then she really didn't know what expression to use now...... Whether it was helplessness or speechlessness, Alice didn't know.
There is nothing wrong with the idea that the swamp can't move, it's not wrong, but now this swamp was made by Alice, and she can make the first one, and of course she can make the second.
With a slight movement of their fingers, a second of the same swamp reappeared in the path of the undead army, forcing them to stop.
If these undead now have emotions and can have expressions on their faces, then their expressions will definitely be (#?Д?) In this way, it is very possible to be angry and cry by such a cute commander.
Silence, silence or silence
Not only Alice, not only the druids behind them, but even the entire army of the undead fell into an eerie silence, standing still and not moving.
"Ahem, okay, let's start the next round. ”
Alice put her hands to her lips, feigned coughing and made a sound, then raised her hands again and made a fanning motion.
The howling cold wind changed direction, and the wind began to strengthen, if the snowflakes in the cold wind just now only gave people the illusion of piercing bones, then now hitting the face, it really made people feel pain.
The wind began to get stronger, and this was just the beginning, and the next thing that felt strange were the druids who were hiding behind, wearing thick cotton jackets and having magic on their bodies to keep out the cold, but they felt the cold at this time.
The biting cold penetrated through their clothes, through that layer of magic, acting on their bodies, making them involuntarily clasp their bodies with their hands, hoping to make themselves warmer.
The skeletons were unaffected, but many of them raised their heads, their fleshless mouths open and closed, as if mocking Alice.
The bones that make up the skeleton itself are very cold-resistant, coupled with the erosion of negative energy, their resistance to cold is not a little bit or two, in the many biographies of the main plane, as well as the stories of those bards, you may be able to hear many reliable or unreliable ways to kill the dead, but it will definitely not include freezing to death.
Is Alice, who is also an undead and a high-level existence of the undead species, overwhelmed by the victory just now? Or does the erudite Alice not know that cold is ineffective against the undead, especially on skeletons?
Or was it that she knew all these things, or did she use such a magic when she knew it? Either way, death couldn't guess, but he wouldn't miss such an opportunity, such an opportunity for the enemy to make a mistake.
The skeletons of birds flying in the sky no longer pursue accuracy and the power of bombing, and when they fly on Alice's head, they converge their wings and make a free fall.
What seemed to be self-defeating had a different effect, as several bird skeletons actually broke through Alice's defenses and hit the ground around her, the closest being less than five meters away from her.
Alice's face did not change in response to such an attack, but in her heart, she was frantically complaining about the means used by death.
Using numbers to increase the probability of hits, although it is still a method of crowd tactics, but it has a little bit of novelty, but if the person who manipulates these bird skeletons is replaced by Alice herself, he will definitely not adopt such a rudimentary attack method.
She will use bird skeletons as bombs that can be controlled, for example, it is a very good idea to tattoo the magic of [Corpse Explosion] on the skeleton's body, there is no need to bomb such a difficult method to control the direction, just let the bird skeleton fly near the target, and then activate the [Corpse Explosion].
The best way to do this is to have the bird skeletons detonate in mid-air, so that the bullet-like bone fragments will cover the maximum area and achieve the maximum theoretical result.
Well, unconsciously indulged in learning and experimenting, the inspiration and experience gained from this battle will be slowly experimented and verified in the capital of the dead, and now the main purpose is to solve these undead, and by the way, to verify some other ideas.
For example, the conjecture of whether cold really doesn't work for skeleton undead.
The wind was still blowing, and the temperature was getting lower and lower, and it soon became even cooler than before the Skeleton Mage had cast the Five Fireball Cult just now, and those swamps, swamps containing acid quickly froze in such a low temperature environment, forming a very smooth ice surface.
Without the slightest hesitation, Death controlled the army of the undead to step on the ice and began to march, although because the ice was very smooth, the walking speed was very slow, and from time to time there were skeletons falling to the ground, but it was much better than being blocked by the swamp just now, and it was much better to be self-defeating.
This seems to be a trap, how can anyone cast a spell that cannot damage the enemy, cause the previous spell to fail, and create conditions for the enemy to attack him? Even those apprentices who are just beginning to learn magic and are not familiar with the effects of magic will make such a low-level mistake.
"Traps? It doesn't matter, there are so many skeletons. ”
Death with such thoughts, without hesitation, stepped into the trap, after the battle just now, on the one hand, he admitted Alice's strength, on the other hand, he still had the confidence that he could retreat from the other party's hands.
The wind is getting stronger and the climate is getting colder again, perhaps using the magic of Blizzard, or other similar magic to create a cold environment, making the land as cold as those ice planes.
A thin layer of frost had condensed on the advancing skeleton, and although there was no big problem, it still slowed down the skeleton's forward speed.
Death has not yet been found on the battlefield, and the closer you get to where Alice is, the more frost there is on those skeletons.
Eventually, with twenty meters left to attack Alice, the temperature finally dropped to a critical point, and the frost quickly spread over the skeletons, freezing their bodies without harming the soul fire in their skulls.
Experiments have shown that cold does not affect undead such as skeletons, but freezing can limit the movement of skeletons, ultimately achieving the goal of imprisoning them.
