Chapter 16: Enchantment
The battle has been going on for two full hours. Zheng He came to report every five minutes, and this time, the magic circle was finally halfway through.
Before the magic circle, Fei Qi was very anxious, Zheng He not only reported the progress of the magic circle, but also reported the progress of the undead on Fei Qi's side. The earthen wall in front of it had been pushed thousands of kilometers away. After a long period of fighting, most of the mercenary thieves felt powerless, and even though the corridor was narrow and could be defended in batches, they couldn't endure such a sleepless battle. It was already late at night, and if it weren't for the torches in everyone's hands and the ghost fires on both sides of the road, the surroundings would have been pitch black. The thick clouds of the plague land make it impossible to feel a trace of moonlight.
It all started with the bronze skeleton joining the battle circle. As the skeletons continued to pour in and be shattered, the bronze skeletons in the skeleton group also kept getting closer. Just when Hyperrell thought his next axe was going to be cut at the bronze skeleton, an unexpected scene occurred. I saw the bronze skeleton leap forward, like a cannonball, and jumped to a height of more than ten meters, and then slammed into the crowd behind him. The bronze skeleton held a rigid knife glowing with silver coldness, and when it fell, it stood up and swung the knife, instantly piercing the chest of a gray-robed mage.
The crowd panicked. Seeing this, he jumped on the wall and bent his knees towards the bronze skeleton, and for a while, sparks rose everywhere, and the dagger of the empty que continued to cut on the skeleton of the bronze skeleton, and it was actually full of fire. Fortunately, this is not the first time that Kong Que has faced the bronze skeleton, out of instinct the bronze skeleton will only wave the knife indiscriminately to block, Kong Que saw the opportunity to go around behind the bronze skeleton, grabbed the bronze skeleton's head with his left hand, and held the dagger with all his strength with his right hand, and pierced into the bronze skeleton's head along the skeleton's eye sockets, where is the location of the skeleton's soul fire, the bronze skeleton is not a white bone skeleton can be compared, if it is just cut off the head, it will not die, at most it will lose its ability to move, and the vigorous soul power will still form a new body for it, only by completely dispersing the dark blue soul flame in its skull, it will completely die。 The sharp dagger of the empty skull stirred wildly in the bronze skull's skull, and finally with a "Peng" sound, like a spark blooming, the dark blue flames in the bronze skull's skull finally burst, turning into sparkling flames and dissipating into the air.
Even if they saw it again, everyone still had lingering palpitations. This is just a bronze skeleton that has no consciousness and only relies on instinct, if such a skeleton knows even a little bit of martial arts, what will the result be?
The combat power of the bronze skeleton is like a world of difference compared to that of ordinary skeletons. Not only is the Bronze Skull hard and powerful, it seems that its strength is limited only by the strength of its bones, in other words, as long as the Bronze Skull bones are continuous, its strength will not decrease. The bronze skeleton is blue-green, and the reason why it is called a bronze skeleton is not that the skeleton's bones have evolved into a bronze texture, but that compared with the white bone skeleton, the density of the bones of the bronze skeleton has been greatly increased. And the color of the skeleton has changed to turquoise for some reason, so it is called a bronze skeleton.
Kongque originally thought that this was the end of it. Who knows that the second one, the third one ........ A total of five bronze skeletons leaped into the crowd again.
"Stand back, the mage archers quickly retreated. Fighters return to defense. Kong Que shouted anxiously. Jack couldn't stand either. Leaving the spirit beast armored dragon, he carried the long sword back to defend himself. Five bronze skeletons are by no means something that one person can handle.
The defensive line was in this situation, and unconsciously retreated more than a thousand meters.
In the distance, Ryan bounced back on the skeleton's shoulder. At some point, there was a tattered burden on his shoulders, and from the bare dead wood exposed in the tattered part of the burden, it could be seen that it was a whole pack of deadwood staffs! Dare this guy go out for two hours, kill the lich all the way, and pick up a rag to bring the staff back? Fortunately, the scene was very chaotic at this time, and no one except Kara paid attention to Ryan. Otherwise, this group of people would have to faint out of anger. How poor are you? It's all life and death, and you're still in the mood to think about bringing the staff back?
Anyway, Ryan is back. And also brought back an unfortunate news. In the distant sky, hundreds of little demons were flying towards this direction.
Ryan slammed a corpse witch out with a sword, delivering the message to Jack.
It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave. It was not easy to solve 6 bronze skeletons here, and hundreds of little demons were to come. When is it a head? And that magic circle, at this pace, I'm afraid it will have to last for another hour.
Jack's face grew pale. The consumption of vindictive energy is too great. The most intuitive response is a large loss of physical strength, and if the loss reaches a certain level, it will even affect the life expectancy.
Ryan knew the truth of being too late, and said to Jack: "Captain Jack, you can rest first." I'll help you get through for a while. ”
Jack did feel the strain. He looked back at Ryan, only to find that Ryan's breath was as smooth as ever, his breathing was slow and long, as if he was in a sleep.
If I'm not mistaken, this guy has been in the fight since the beginning, right?
Jack was puzzled and said, "You too, after fighting for so long, can you hold on?"
Ryan looked calm, put the sword on his shoulder and said casually: "It's not long, it's only an hour, these skeletons are quite stupid, and the speed of the lich's fireball can't hit me, generally at this intensity, there is no problem with fighting for two days, but you have to eat a meal during the period, otherwise you will be hungry and panic, and you will lose your strength." ”
"What! I have to eat for two days, or I won't have the strength to do it. Jack suddenly felt like his entire outlook on life had collapsed. Can humans really do that?
Ryan didn't know how much of an impact his words would have on Jack at this point. All he knew was that his uncle Isli had always done this to him since he was a child. Sometimes you don't want to teach Ryan for three or four days, and you don't care about him for three or four days, and you can throw him a silver coin and you're done; sometimes if you want to teach Ryan, you take Ryan to the jungle, hang more than ten kilograms of bacon on him, and strictly order that this is the "sword" in your hand, and as a swordsman, you are absolutely not allowed to throw down the sword in your hand and escape, and then lift Ryan's neck and throw it into the distance, and he himself goes home to drink. But our little Ryan dragged a dozen kilograms of bacon alone and ran desperately under the gaze of hungry jackals, tigers and leopards, because the slightest mistake might be eaten by wild beasts along with the bacon. At first, Isley had a good conscience, and ran to see if little Ryan was dead all night. Later, after a long time, seeing that Ryan had not died, he simply didn't show up for a month. Ryan had also questioned this training method when he was a child, but Isli said that this is how the warriors of the Pan Continent practiced. Young Ryan has no one to compare with, so I believe it. Over time, Ryan found that this training was quite simple, so he didn't say anything.
It is conceivable that Ryan, who has been experiencing devastation and growing up, is not a problem at all for this kind of thing that can be solved in a few hours.
Jack listened to Ryan and found a corner to rest. For a whole hour, Jack didn't stop for a second, and he had to recover as much of his fighting spirit as possible before the little devil arrived.
Ryan takes Jack's place, and the greatsword flips to continue to block the attacks of the skeletons and corpses.
An arc of lightning shot through Ryan's hair, striking a corpse witch. It's the gray-robed mage Nanaluo. At this time, Nanaroku's face and body have many traces of mud, and it seems that in such a non-stop melee, she has been trying to avoid the crisis that can come at any time.
"How long will it take for the little devil to arrive?" said Fang Cai, Nanaroku obviously heard it. She asked Ryan.
"I guess it'll take another quarter of an hour. Ryan replied, but the sword in his hand did not stop.
"So many little devils flying in the air, condescending. If you don't take precautions in advance, I'm afraid that the weaker warriors present, especially our mages, will be difficult to resist. Although Captain Jack is a great sword master and has spirit beasts to help, he can't protect everyone. Nana fell.
"What do you mean?" Ryan was puzzled, Nanaroku deliberately risked her life to stand by her side, wouldn't she just say something that everyone understood?
"You just said you still have a lot of energy, right?" Nana said.
"Yes. Ryan said.
"I will perform a third-level enchantment [Thunder Spell Force Field] that even my teacher does not know, this spell can summon a small piece of intertwined thunder and lightning attached to the recipient's weapon, with my existing magic power, if I use all my strength, it can last for about ten minutes, during this period, as long as the lightning elements in the force field are not exhausted, your sword can even release a second-level magic [Lightning] from a distance. I think instead of waiting for the little devil to get ready to attack, it is better for you to strike first, I wonder if Lord Ryan will dare?"
Nanaraku's tone revealed hardness. What is the difference between wanting Ryan to take the lead and asking people to sacrifice themselves and shine a light on others?
If Kara was here, she wouldn't have agreed. It's a pity that Kara isn't there.
"Good. "One simple word. Ryan agreed.
"The little devil came into view. I'll enchant your weapon. ”
The team continued to retreat slowly. Even if Ryan held on to one corner, he couldn't stop the defeat elsewhere. After a long battle, more than half of the team members were killed and wounded, and although the commanders of the regiments were unharmed, they were really tired. The footsteps also unconsciously retreated.
"It's coming. Ryan shouted. In the distance, a huge dark cloud seemed to appear in the sky, drifting towards this direction.
Nana Luo immediately raised the Anubis scepter, a complicated mantra exhaled, and thunder began to sound on the scepter, and the blue-purple arcs of lightning began to flash around the Anubis scepter around the scepter, like a small piece of thunder and lightning in the world.
"Reach for your sword. Nanaro shouted anxiously. Her face turned pale, as if the small intertwined arc had drained her of all her magic.
Hearing this, Ryan hurriedly stretched out the black iron greatsword - "enchantment" - Nanaroku let out a soft snort, and the spiritual power dragged the thunderbolt towards Ryan's sword. --"Zi--zi!" As if the current had suddenly increased, the moment the arc touched the black iron greatsword, it actually exploded, and the arc that was originally only the size of a little finger instantly became wrapped around like a baby's arm, covering the entire greatsword.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Ryan's hand holding the black iron greatsword suddenly shook, and he almost dropped the sword to the ground. Xiao is a person like Ryan who doesn't understand magic at all, and at this time, he can clearly feel the surging thunder power from the big sword.
[Thunder Curse Position] The moment she got out of her hand, Nana Luo used her staff to crutch on the ground as if she had collapsed, so that she could barely stand.
"How can it be so strong?" muttered Nanaraku, looking feebly at the black iron greatsword in Ryan's hand. "It shouldn't be, this surging thunder power is even better than fourth-level magic. "It's a pity that Nanaroku doesn't even have the strength to speak, so it's impossible to go and explore something.
For some reason, Ryan suddenly felt empowered all over his body. He glanced at the skulls that were still pouring in front of him, raised his sword, took a deep breath, and jumped upwards with all his might. Then I saw Ryan like a thunder god descending, with surging thunder light from a height of more than ten meters into the skeleton group. --"Boom", the thunder and lightning overflowed, and all the skeletons within a radius of five meters where Ryan fell were torn apart by the lightning bombardment, that is, even the ground collapsed. A circular open space with a radius of 5 meters was cleared directly.
Everyone present, including Jack, was stunned by the scene in front of them. This blow has at least reached the level of the Great Sword Master!Everyone looked at Ryan, but then these people immediately reacted and turned to look at Nanaluo. Enchanter! Legendary Enchanter! A being as precious as a priest of the Holy See. It can be said that the value of an enchanter is at least equal to that of a great magician. And if you want to become an enchanter, it's not just a talent, you must have the ultimate affinity for the elements, otherwise the enchantment will backfire, violate the spell contract, and eventually harm others and yourself.
"Wow, that's really handsome. Feige's words instantly rang through his head. Xiao is a person like Ryan who is not shocked by everything can't help but laugh happily, after all, he is still a nineteen-year-old boy, although he has honed Ryan's heart because of many cruel experiences, but when he really encounters something he likes, Ryan can't help but be happy like a child.
"Hahaha. Ryan laughed and rushed towards the earthen wall on the left, straight up, and Ryan actually ran on top of the wall. Leaping to the top of the wall, Ryan ran towards the entrance to the ghostfire.
"Ryan!" Kara shouted from behind Ryan.
But as if he hadn't heard, Ryan rushed towards the little demon who had already flown over the ghostfire.
"Is the enchantment so powerful?" Yinfeng looked in the direction where Ryan had gone, and said suspiciously. I'm afraid no one in the room has seen anyone except Jack. No one answered Yinfeng's question.
After a while, Jack replied, "I've seen two enchantments, both of them were from the hands of a great enchanter, and they are extremely powerful, and this enchantment doesn't seem to be of a low level." ”
Nana couldn't help but blush when she fell aside, she wanted to explain that it was actually just a third-level enchantment, and she didn't know why it had become so powerful. But she couldn't say a word or two, and she really didn't have the strength to explain anything.
Jack was the first to react, "Quick, don't be stunned, hurry up and protect Miss Nanaroku." ”
Here, Ryan has already caught up with the little demon while running. Hundreds of little demons frantically attacked Ryan.
