Chapter 172: Repulsion
There was no need for any temptation, and Claire and Malthus were already in a fierce confrontation.
Both of them are the Chosen Ones for the Throne of Souls, and they have been fighting with each other as rivals for several years. What abilities the other party has and what kind of spells they are good at, they are even clearer in each other's hearts.
The two engaged in a fierce battle at the entrance to the cave, and Claire's bone claws grabbed with great strength, but were blocked by Malthus with an inky mist, who counterattacked, sending a scarlet ray straight at Claire.
It was a seven-ring spell called the Exorcism Technique, and if it hit, half of the blood in the body would be evaporated in an instant. Needless to say, the infirm will surely die, and even the able-bodied will be dizzy and weakened by such an attack.
But Claire was not afraid, and he slammed Eagle's scepter, and the scepter-shaped Quinn emitted a burst of ghostly light, and instantly crushed the ray.
As Claire's strength grew, so did his grip on Iger's Staff. In the past, he had to expend a lot of energy to use the purifying power of Iger's Staff, but now, he can not only use the scepter to greatly enhance the ability of summons, but also use the scepter to release necromancy and spell spells with a higher level than his own casting, which has greatly improved his ability.
In other words, although Claire, who holds Iger's Scepter, cannot cast the Nine Rings spell, his spell level has long surpassed the boundaries of the Eight Rings.
Unlike the way they fought in Dominic City, the battle between the two men was fast and varied, and neither used time-delaying summoning spells, but instead attacked their opponents with a variety of lethal single spells.
Master-level offense and defense are extremely intense, and spells are often prepared with very few spell casting moves. Not only that, this level of spell warfare is like a game in Go, often when a piece falls, the two sides of the game have several sets of countermeasures ready in their minds. Both men wanted to get the fight into their own rhythm, but their comparable abilities prevented either side from doing so.
Malthus is better at casting and accumulating more spells, while Claire is better at having Iger's Scepter to help her do both. These two people are on equal footing, and no one can help anyone for a while.
On the other side, the battle between Charlotte and Malthus' subordinates was a different story.
The mage with the half-sword of the enchanted hand attacked the necromancers in a counterintuitive way, using the abilities of the Eye of Vientiane and the transformation of the spell to strengthen his own qualities, and actually stood up like a true knight.
The Vientiane's ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities was too foul, and as soon as the necromancers tried to use some spells to turn the tide, they were immediately detected by Charlotte and attacked. Even if she can't take care of the situation, Charlotte can use the magic eye to quickly find the instability in the magic node, and often a magic bullet can make the opponent's high-level spells that have done their best to eliminate the invisible. Coupled with El's large-scale spell attacks, the side with the upper number has always been at a disadvantage.
It was clear that there were five high-level mages on his side, but he was in a hurry as if he was being besieged. Vientiane Eye, Clayderman Family Martial Arts, Transformation Spells, Flashing Spells...... All these things combine to create a monster like Charlotte who has few weaknesses.
In just three minutes, two high-level mages fell to the ground and died. One of them was stabbed in the heart by Charlotte's shield and a sword, while the other was crushed in the chest by Elle with the Void Shatter Orb.
The remaining three were all in danger, and they were observing the surrounding environment in a cold sweat back to back, for fear that these two monsters would jump out of an unknown corner and sneak attack. Everyone's hearts were crying out, where is this mage? It's even more disgusting than the way the assassins fight!
Can being reliable together solve the problem?
"Hah!" Charlotte was laughing and crying at their nervous movements, of course, although he was laughing, but he was also somewhat smug in his heart, "Have you forgotten that I am a mage?"
In the face of the Assassins, this is the right way to deal with increasing the circle of defense. But if you're facing a mage, then this kind of position is really stupid.
The three high-ranking mages of the Soul Seat were frightened by Charlotte and Elle's elusive fighting style, and actually made a common-sense mistake. In the face of this kind of gift sent to the door, Charlotte has no reason to let it go.
He and Elle cast spells together, countless missiles stood behind him, and Elle continued to cast powerful spells, extreme effects and other enhanced secret spells, and the next moment, the dense missiles with force field energy formed a missile storm swept up.
Malthus, who was fighting Claire on the sidelines, caught a glimpse of the battle, and he immediately made a quick decision, first throwing a lightning chain at Claire to interrupt his attack, and then immediately unleashing a dazzling magic spell.
After Claire subconsciously assumed a defensive posture, she found that a forest bone wall divided the two ends of the cave, and Malthus, who had just put on a desperate posture, had long since disappeared.
On the other side, the three high-level mages gathered together had already broken through their shields by the missile storm, and the force field energy slammed into their bodies, crushing the necromancer's weak body into a puddle of flesh.
Charlotte sheathed her sword, walked over to Claire and asked, "What?
"Well, I guess I saw that the situation was not good. But I didn't dare to chase after it, I always felt a little uneasy. Claire voiced her doubts.
"yes. Bob doesn't seem to be deceiving us, though. ”
When Claire heard this, she looked at Charlotte with some hesitation, "Are you blaming me for killing him?"
"No!" Charlotte shook her head, "It's a little uncomfortable at first, but you're doing the right thing, it's the most sensible way to deal with it." ”
"Thank you. ”
His thanks were only exchanged for a punch from Charlotte to his shoulder.
"What are you talking about?" Charlotte smiled, "How about it? Would you like to go in and have a look?"
"Of course, when they all come here, even if it's Longtan Tiger's Den, you have to break through. ”
The two of them sorted out the spell materials again, and then set off again.
The cave appears to be extremely deep and has a good chance of leading to the belly of the mountains. Along the way, the twists and turns of the tunnel are endless, and the space inside is sometimes large and sometimes small.
Not only that, but Malthus and Gloria may have expected this day, and they have set a lot of spell traps in the tunnel, which greatly slows down the progress of the two. In addition, those undead patrolling also caused a lot of trouble for the brothers and sisters.
After walking about three kilometers inside, the biggest trouble came. They came to a large stalactite cave with two forks in the road, one dark and one with fluorescent moss on the wall. In addition, there is a small path along the underground river that leads diagonally downward, and the road looks very steep.
They are lost.
