Section 341 Crises abounded10
"Inexperienced rookie ......"
The severed finger has given a preliminary definition of the prey.
Although it is said that all warlocks are trained in combat, there will always be a division between people. It's as if the same teacher on the planet would teach both the champion of the National Mathematics Olympiad and the student who failed the general exam. In terms of combat, some people are born with a keen fighting instinct and fighting awareness, and some people do not; some people are born with courage and dare to die, while others do not; some people are able to analyze rationally when fighting and know how to advance and retreat, and some people cannot do it. In fact, even the same person has different strengths at different stages. When you are a fledgling, you are very different from after you have survived a hundred battles.
Every time the magic is high, it will form a natural and powerful advantage. In fact, if it weren't for the whole process, someone suddenly made a rash suggestion to let him deal with a First Lawyer—no matter what grade of First Lawyer, he would have considered it himself and considered the risks and benefits.
But now, he felt like he had figured it out. The opponent has the magic of the first law, but the strength is relatively weak, and he does not have the ability to explore the sea of ether. Otherwise, even a creature of incredible intelligence and strength like Kecha Goat would not be able to "turn" her from the Radiant Moon camp. In other words, it is impossible for the Radiant Moon Warlocks at this moment to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai as they do now, watching the Stygian Moon and Kaicha Goyat fight with peace of mind.
For the opponent who has no combat experience, it is even more natural. Warlocks with such weak strength are very rare, and although they do not have the ability to explore the Aetheric Sea, as mentioned earlier, according to a superstition, the descendants of such people have a high chance of possessing the magic of the First Law. In addition to this, they are regulars and darlings of the research department. It has a considerable place in the further application of magic. Of course, this kind of person will not be sent to the battlefield, so there is no opportunity to hone his actual combat ability. Of course, the degree of protection for them ends here, and there is no more. Their disappearance does not attract real attention, so it is possible that they will be concealed for a long time.
For such an enemy, Severed Finger has full confidence. Of course, the most important thing is to be confident in your own strength. Although because of that energy-absorbing effect, his magic will gradually fade over time. But at least for this period of time, he has far more power than the other party. Can that Radiant Moon Warlock compare to himself? Judging by the remnants of magic, Severed Finger believed that this was completely impossible.
Judging from the voice just now, she is hiding here...... Somewhere around the generation.
It is surrounded by a steel aisle. Made of metal mesh panels, similar to scaffolding, permeate the center of the entire floor. This floor is very high and has four pillars on all sides, on which these metal plates are erected. Through the grid, you can see the flame amoeba at the bottom that I don't know if it's "one".
Now I kind of understand what this weird creature does. Because you can see some metal blocks in it. Instead of scrap metal redissolving, large blocks of metal are "growing" from this magma-like flame liquid. It wasn't ordinary metal, it was metal with a fixed specification.
Some kind of ...... Nanobots?
Although it is not known exactly what it is, it can be guessed that this magma-like thing is supposed to be a nanobot that is "producing" a mechanical component. This method is obviously superior to the traditional metal dissolution, casting, forming a mold base and finally cutting the city's products, and can produce a variety of complex metal parts at one time. And it seems to be more than that.
If nothing else, the value of this one thing alone is very staggering. Once the principle can be deciphered, or even deciphered, it can be replicated, and it can create a revolutionary storm in the field of production. Think about it, what kind of honor and reward will he receive for bringing such valuable loot to the Stygian faction?
Of course, Severed Finger quickly pulled his mind back from this fleeting rhapsody. Now is not the time to think about this thing. The more important thing he had to do was to get that Radiant Moon Warlock out. As long as the prey can be found, then this matter is almost inseparable. Judging from the magic residue left behind, Severed Finger personally judged that the prey did not have the ability to stay in the energy-absorbing effect for such a long time, so she should have some kind of way to counter the energy-absorbing effect (for example, Kechagoatt gave her a certain targeted item, or ingested a special drug beforehand), but he also believed that the prey did not have the ability to completely immunize the energy-absorbing effect. It can only be said that the speed of her magic is relatively slow, so it is more reasonable.
She wouldn't have been able to escape here for long, and she would never have a chance to set a dangerous trap or anything with her carry-on gear. And this is obviously a (metal smelting) processing plant in Kecha Koat, and it is fair to say that Kecha Koyat anticipated this possibility in advance, so a trap was set up here or something...... That would be an exaggeration.
In fact, if Kecha Goyat really had such a magical ability to anticipate everything, then what he had to do was not to set a boring trap, but to arrange a king-sized bomb. This kind of trap is what can really deal with a warlock. So, as long as you find the target, the severed finger is equivalent to winning.
But...... Where do the prey hide?
As far as the eye can see, there seems to be no place to hide. In a battle between warlocks, using techniques like magical stealth is completely unworkable, and magical remnants will expose everything.
It's the same with flying. Although the Warlock has the power to get himself out of this metal scaffold and fly in the air, flying is actually equivalent to "pulling" his body with the magic of the Third Law compared to walking on two legs. The weight of one person is not heavy, but it is not light either. Combined with the extra power necessary to move downward, this level of magic use leaves quite a strong magical residue. So this possibility can be ruled out.
It's not about using magic to hide yourself...... Is it something else?
Is there a layer above the ceiling? or a "half-layer" like a mezzanine or something like that, where the prey is hiding, or is it the flame amoeba underneath? a viscous liquid similar to lava...... It's easy to say that there are a few people hiding inside. Maybe a few hundred will be fine.
But that voice just now......
The severed finger slowly stepped into the position of the sound just now. As mentioned earlier, there is nothing here, even if there are metal grid plates under your feet, it is clear at a glance, and you can't hide anything at all. But the voice did come from here.
And the remnants of magic in this place seem to be a little thicker.
The surrounding light was dim, there were no windows on this level, and the only light came from the magma pool beneath your feet. The fiery red light reflected the severed face.
Then he noticed that there were several metal plates on the sides that were not gridded, but solid. I can't see what's underneath. If someone is hiding under the metal plates of the scaffolding, the person above them will not be visible.
I see...... But as far as hiding is concerned, this is not a clever trick. Because if you look around, you will immediately notice that this is the only possible place to hide.
Not to mention that the voice just now revealed the truth - that voice was indeed coming from this area.
Of course, there really isn't any other place to hide in this place. The prey should hide underneath and wait for the severed finger to come and launch a sneak attack. It is said that the First Lawyer's ability to sense what is happening in the future at any time, such as an attack, a danger, and to avoid it in time. So if you enter a battle, the First Lawyer's is a difficult place to entangle. It doesn't matter if her strength is strong or weak, but her dodging ability is definitely not to be said. Others can not be believed, but Severed Finger watched as the prey escaped in the pursuit of a large group of warlocks. Almost all ranged attacks missed.
Maybe this is also her last resort. In this mid-air position, the slightest accidental fall will fall into the hot liquid that resembles magma. Warlocks are indeed able to fly, but it's normal to be too hasty to react. Especially if you are forced to rush and have the idea of dying together, it is really dangerous.
Luckily, there was no need to risk it.
All he needed to do was kill the other party, and how he killed him, he really didn't mind at all.
"It's really ......," he stood, then stomped his foot.
Huge power erupted, and the aerial scaffolding made of steel instantly disintegrated from the combined position, turning into metal plates that flew all over the sky.
He believed that this trick was something that his prey would never have thought of.
After all, they have been in this energy-absorbing environment for too long, and it is very good that ordinary warlocks can retain a small amount of mana. In this case, even if you want to remove the surroundings, you can only gradually disassemble and remove joints such as willow nails one by one. In other words, it is precisely because of this judgment that the other party chooses to hide instead of risking to escape. Just hold on here for enough time and wait for the Stygian Warlocks to evacuate before leaving safely.
But severed fingers are not the same as others. He may have been an outcast with too little strength to be completely forgotten, but now he is stronger than the most gifted warlock. Even after staying here for so long and consuming so much mana, he still had enough strength to tear this steel scaffolding through the whole body.
If her prey is hiding in it, she has only two options - use her magic to levitate herself in the air, or just drop into the "magma pool" below. The latter is reluctant to try even a severed finger...... The former is just a live target for attack.
No matter what kind of strategy she prepared, even if she had the consciousness of ending up together, it didn't make any sense at the moment. If there is still a slight chance that she will win against Severed Finger openly here—although it is very low, it must be admitted, there is still one, after all, it is the First Lawyer—then this chance of victory has been completely erased at this moment. In combat, sometimes dodging doesn't necessarily give you an advantage, but rather puts yourself at a greater disadvantage.
Under the action of magic, the metal pieces fly, and under the action of various external forces, they are like paper, and they exaggerate into various forms. Then he suddenly discovered something...... The prey is not here.
Then his feet slammed into the air, and his body fell into a state of weightlessness.
