Chapter 176: Rush 1
(Thank you for the Nightmare Shark commuter pass!Thank you for always supporting me!Shark-kun!)
Claire and Charlotte's calm attitude surprised Malthus, and he opened his mouth slightly, wondering why the other party would make such an unwise decision when he knew that there was a trap in the blood lake.
Malthus thought, whether it was Gloria, Claire, or Charlotte, their actions seemed to him to be messy and illogical!
Wellett looked thoughtful. She left the shore of the lake and retreated to her original position in the middle of the lake. In the process, she suddenly remembered what Gloria had said, that Malthus was so clever that he always had the gain and loss in mind, so that he lacked the strength to be a fool, and that mentality of retreating in case of death somewhat limited his future achievements.
Claire, on the other hand, despite being the youngest of the bunch, unexpectedly has the heart of a fool who fights hard.
Returning to her place, Villelet glanced at Malthus, whose expression was gloomy, and his smile was no longer graceful but indifferent. Instead of focusing on Malthus, Villelet poured her attention into the shores of the lake.
There, Claire and Charlotte, the brothers, are stepping into the lake as challengers.
Because the circle suppressed the activity of the shadow energy and strengthened the solidity of the spatial barrier, Charlotte would undoubtedly become very difficult and expensive to cast these two types of spells.
In order to cope with the fierce battle that followed, Charlotte chose to face her opponent with a variety of spells. The two of them assigned the formation, and Charlotte blessed herself with various buff spells, and stood at the forefront of the formation completely as a melee mage.
A melee mage is not enough to describe Charlotte's abilities, in fact, he has the Eye of Vientiane, although he is not as good as the top fighters such as Vivien Leigh and Devine, but he is barely a first-class fighter in his class.
He was followed by Claire, who was carrying Iger's scepter, and he didn't let it transform into a bone dragon because of the forbidden spell that had been cast.
In the end, the youngest daughter Elle was in charge of the break. As evidence of the roots, the latter's defenses are surprisingly strong. She and Charlotte walked in the middle of the formation, protecting Claire in the center of the formation.
Charlotte and Claire carefully observed the distribution and structure of the stones on the Blood Lake, and decided to choose a location with dense stones as a breakthrough.
Those stones are like chess pieces on a chessboard on the blood lake, and Gloria said that there are traps in the blood lake, so when flying has become a luxury, choosing stones as a foothold is the safest way.
Charlotte tentatively jumped onto a rock. The stone is only about two meters square, and while it is enough for people to settle on, it is much more difficult to fight and fight back on it.
Charlotte, who climbed the rock, looked warily at the Soul Seat mages who were guarding the large stones, but perhaps because of the cast range, they didn't attack in the first place.
This only made Charlotte more vigilant. He tentatively advanced three more stones, and it was only then that Claire, who was second in the line, made it to the Blood Lake.
However, there was no attack, and there was no attack until Elle also landed in the Blood Lake, and their queue walked about 100 meters to the center of the lake, and did not encounter any attack.
It's like the dead silence before the storm, and the low pressure makes people even more depressing. Charlotte held her sword in a knight's starting hand, and beads of sweat began to appear in her palms. Only then did he realize that Gloria was not just about pride, she also gave psychological hints to the two of them in the process of inviting them to fight-be careful! There are traps that pose a mortal threat to you! In this way, she caused great psychological pressure on the two of them.
The process continued for several more minutes, with the challenge team carefully walking on the rocks, ready for possible threats, so much so that after a few minutes, they had only walked more than 100 meters.
Only then did the sniping of the Soul Seat come belatedly. But as soon as he made a move, it was thunderous.
On a huge stone slab with a radius of tens of meters, three mages of the Soul Seat attacked the advancing team.
One of them worked together to be the Death Cloud Technique in the spell system, and the cloud of black smoke was extremely lethal. Those who are not in the system will surely die once they are covered by the cloud of death, and even those who are physically strong will suffer continuous damage when they are shrouded in the deadly cloud.
In front of the other person, a ring of negative energy was formed at regular intervals, and the mage kept throwing the ring at several people. This spell, known as the Ring of Weak Energy, can not only cause damage to people, but also affect people's bodies, causing negative levels such as unresponsiveness and rigid movements.
As for the last one......
Charlotte's eyes froze, and the magic eye glimpsed the model of the hidden spells constructed by the opponent, while the memory processing technology analyzed it as quickly as a supercomputer, and instantly judged the spells used by the opponent.
It summons between 6 and 12 invisible minions to attack enemies from corners.
Charlotte doesn't care about the Dead Cloud and the Ring of Weak Energy, it's Claire and Elle who can handle it. The pale gold runes in his scarlet eyes appeared, and the spell servants who originally had the ability to stealth were nowhere to be hidden in his magic eyes.
The minions looked like noodle-like humanoids, their skewed bodies lacking in hardness like jelly, and their transparent bodies allowed them to blend in nicely with their surroundings. They usually attack enemies with their resilient limbs, and once entangled, they can release a paralyzing toxin. In short, they are very dangerous opponents with stealth abilities.
But in Charlotte's eyes, they are nowhere to be found.
Charlotte slashed her sword horizontally, severing several of her wound invisible arms. The wounded stealth minions seemed to be screaming silently in pain, and the rest of the minions rushed up, trying to use their numerical advantage to make Charlotte overboard.
Charlotte saw it in his eyes, and with a snap of his sword, he slashed at the nearest servant and picked it up at the cobblestone next to him. At the same time, he opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of dark green cone.
It was the Three-Ring Destruction System Strong Acid Breath Technique, and although the level of the spell was not high, it had extraordinary power in the hands of an eight-ring level master like Charlotte. After three breaths, the transparent bodies of the invisible minions that had gathered together were stained with acid, and the intense acidic breath melted them into a viscous green slime.
At the same time, Claire, who was behind Charlotte, pulled out some white powder from her material waist bag, and he put it to his lips and blew it in the direction of the Death Cloud. In an instant, a strong hurricane rose out of thin air, and instead of causing them any damage, the poisonous Death Cloud Technique was blown away by the wind, causing the three necromancers of the Soul Seat to scramble for a while.
Elle is also not idle, as a root artifact, she is not afraid of consuming magic energy at all, and together with her hand is the signature spell of the Lord of the Emperor - Emmanuel Absorbing Vortex.
The swirling transparent vortex is constantly absorbing the power of the weak energy ring, and the weak energy ring of the five rings cannot pose a threat to the absorbing vortex at all. El kept the vortex of absorption running, holding on but not emitting, waiting for the opportunity to reverse the energy within it to attack.
The seemingly stormy attack was prevented by Charlotte and the others with minimal consumption, showing the power of the top master in an understatement.
Next, it's their turn to start fighting back!
