Chapter 0948 - Lose Both
The Knights of St. Martin have finally begun to retreat!
After several hopeless charges, they finally realized the huge gap in strength between themselves and the enemy in front of them, and thus abandoned the battle and began to retreat into the distance.
When they came, there were about two or three hundred of them, but by the time they had withdrawn, the ranks were less than a hundred.
From beginning to end, Grim did not leave the campfire for half a step, except for one attack on the 2nd Order Commander, the rest of the St. Martin knights died from the Iron Fist of the Terror Elemental Weapon. And that sword Ji Katie was also surprisingly quiet, and did not take the opportunity to sneak attack Grim.
Of course, it's also possible that she doesn't have a chance at all!
After all, even at the height of the 'battle', Grim's attention remained on Katie, the sword queen, for 80 percent.
However, in the face of this pure holy light left behind by the loyal and brave 2nd Order Silver Knight, both Grim and Katie couldn't help but lick their lips lightly, and a thoughtful and hesitant look appeared on their faces.
The pure light in front of him obviously belonged to another branch of the power system, which was completely different from the knowledge and transformation routes admired by the wizards, but somewhat overlapped with the belief system of the world of the gods. It's just that most of the gods believe in a physical god, while the elm-headed knights of the Enwick plane believe in an ethereal spirit or belief.
The Light, a Light Imbued with Divine Sublime Faith?
What is the use of believing in it? Could it be that this ray of light can still hear the prayers of the hearts of believers, so as to give them all kinds of gifts?
Due to the shamans' natural disdain for the belief in the gods, Grim was originally dismissive of the so-called belief in the Holy Light. But...... Now, when a loyal and pure follower of the Holy Light dies in front of him, his body turned to ashes, and the last trace of his soul is actually floating in front of his eyes in a ray of pure white light, the spiritual shock brought to Grim is too great!
This ray of light is too fragile!
If Grim lets go of the Burning Realm, a random breeze in the wilderness can cause it to disappear and cease to exist. However, Grim had a feeling that this ray of light and the soul on it would not just disappear, but would converge somewhere under the pull of the laws of the plane, and thus become part of a larger will.
This feeling is nonsensical, but Grim is convinced that it will be so.
The source of confidence lies in the chip's analysis of the laws of the Envik plane.
With Grim's strength, it is not enough to decipher and analyze the underlying laws of the plane world, so the chip is more just the exploration and use of the plane laws, and there are still insurmountable power thresholds from real control.
And the Holy Light Faith undoubtedly belongs to the category of higher powers that are rare in the Envik plane, and the research value is definitely above those basic laws.
Now, there is such a shortcut to peek into the power of the Holy Light faith in front of us, although it is very different from the original power of wizards, it is also a good object to study.
"Drops, perceiving the presence of pure spiritual energy, can capture, absorb, or destroy...... Ask the subject to make a choice......"
Capture and destroy, Grim can understand. But what is this absorption for?
"Chip, what does this holy light do when absorbed?"
"Drop, this is an extremely pure and condensed spiritual energy, after removing the spiritual impurities inside, it can quickly enhance the spiritual attributes of the subject......"
Enhance mental attributes?
At this moment, the hairs on Grim's whole body almost stood on end.
Since becoming a wizard, he has explored and searched countless times for items and means that can quickly enhance his spiritual attributes, but unfortunately, he can hardly find any other methods and means other than the meditation technique of the wizard system.
Of course, some extremely rare wizard resources can still do it, such as the elven holy water of the Faun plane, the spiritual concoction sold by the Silver Alliance, and the giant brain marrow that once appeared in the wizard market...... It's a pity that these things are often high-level resources above the 4th or 5th order, and they are not qualified for Grim at all.
What is the biggest factor restricting the promotion of wizards? Naturally, it is the slow improvement of one's own basic strength.
With the elemental wizard route that Grim is taking now, his main is spiritual power.
After Grim was promoted to the 3rd level, he experienced a period of rapid growth in mental power, but it was only able to push his mental power from 31 points to 32 points. Since reaching 32 points, the speed of mental power improvement has gradually slowed down.
Grim once estimated that according to the current rate of mental power improvement, I am afraid that every 1 point of improvement will require 10-20 years of hard work and daily meditation. Moreover, the more you reach the end of each rank, the slower the rate of mental power increase.
Many wizards often run out of life and don't raise their spiritual power to the threshold of advancement.
If you can successfully advance to the rank by hiding in the wizard tower and suffering, the fourth-order wizards in the entire wizarding world will not be so rare. If you don't try to find some resources that can speed up the process, most wizards will die in despair in their own towers.
Therefore, when he suddenly heard such a prompt from the chip, Grim, who was calm as usual just now, was in a trance.
In a daze, Grim couldn't wait to reach out and grasp this flickering strange holy light.
The fire beside him suddenly dimmed, and the sharp and whistling wind immediately resounded throughout the world.
At some point, Katie, who was 200 meters away, had already appeared at Grim's side, holding two metal thorns in her hands, which had already dented the translucent flame barrier in front of Grim. The five-sided metal blade wheel strangely circled behind Grim, frantically cutting through the flame barrier from different angles.
No matter how strong the protection of the Tier 3 Flame Barrier was, it couldn't resist the full force of a Tier 3 mechanical witch, so it only lasted for 1 or 7 seconds before it shattered in an instant.
After the flame barrier shattered into a cloud of fire, the next thing to be attacked was Grim's protective force field, which was a mixture of spirit and fire energy.
This is also his last protective force field!
The elemental magic weapon that was still driving away the St. Martin Knight on the periphery roared and rushed towards the fire frantically. And the plague spirit, dangling his legs and sitting on Grim's shoulder, screamed and cursed death at Katie, the sword girl who was close by.
However, one of them was 120 meters away, and the other was only a second-order strength, and it was difficult to shake the attack of a third-order mechanical witch.
Therefore, he is the only one who can save Grim!
The mental trance of less than a second brought a death crisis to Grim, which also showed the ferocity and horror of the high-level wizards in battle.
The two metal thorns were still moving forward persistently, aiming directly at the center of Grim's eyebrows.
The distance between the two sides is already less than half a meter.
The 'Sharp' and 'Piercing' sorcery enchanted with the metal spikes continued to work, blasting layers of flame barriers and energy fields into fine fireworks and fireworks. And her own strength of up to 31 points was the driving force for the metal thorns to move forward steadily, otherwise the elemental turbulence formed by the explosion of the flame barrier and energy force field would be enough to disrupt any follow-up attacks.
The Plague Spirit's death curse turned into a cloud of gray smoke that sank into Katie's body, causing a flash of gray on her flesh-and-blood face. However, her 36-point physique was enough to ensure that she resisted the first wave of the Death Curse, and still steadily pushed the metal thorns forward.
The sharp edge of the metal thorn glittering with a ghostly light was less than 5 centimeters from the center of Grim's eyebrows.
The last layer of protective force field is seriously dented, and the translucent force field wall is full of cobweb-like fine cracks, which may suddenly collapse in the next second.
And once the energy protection is gone, with Grim's rudimentary melee combat skills, it is impossible to survive in the face of a wizard hunter like Dao Ji.
Bi Peel ......
In the campfire next to him, a piece of dry wood made a faint explosion that was almost invisible.
The smoothly burning bonfire suddenly swelled, and the crimson flames instantly condensed into a tall flame figure.
The light and shadow in the field swayed, and silently, the tall figure and the cross-legged Grim unexpectedly swapped places.
The protective force field broke, and the metal thorns instantly pierced through the eyebrows of the tall flame humanoid, blasting the skull spikes composed of flames into a cloud of flames. The Blade Ji Katie's metal thorns and the Flying Blade Wheel churned, completely destroying the flame humanoid in an instant.
Grimm's roar of bitter resentment suddenly resounded in the void.
Immediately afterward, the flame figure standing on top of the campfire turned into a Grim form, and angrily threw two huge fireballs at Katie's body.
Knock Knock......
Two huge flame mushroom clouds quickly emerged around the bonfire, and the sword Ji Katie screamed miserably, and her entire body turned into a rolling knife array, forcing away the crazy red flame storm, and a flicker appeared a hundred meters away. Flickering again, it had already appeared at the end of the line of sight, and disappeared without a trace.
Although Dao Ji escaped quickly, Grim could still see it clearly. The combined fire damage from two berserk fireballs had scorched half of her body's skin. Although this kind of injury is not fatal, it can be called a serious injury.
Therefore, knowing that Grim was by his side and had lost his elemental protection, Dao Ji still chose to escape first, rather than stay and fight with him.
Although the burning man he killed just now is not Grim's body, he is also an important character such as a flame clone. was directly annihilated by Dao Ji, and part of his spiritual consciousness was also a big injury to Grim.
Moreover, the damage is the spiritual power that elemental wizards cherish the most, which is not bad enough!
On the other hand, Katie, the knife girl, although she seems to be more seriously injured from the outside, is just a simple flesh and skin trauma. As long as she is given enough time and enough flesh and blood, it only takes 3 days to heal such an injury.
And it is almost impossible for Grim to repair the mental wounds caused by the annihilation of the flame clone in 3 days.
It is precisely because of her full understanding of each other's injuries that Katie gave up the seemingly good fighter in front of her and chose a more secure and safer way of fighting!
Besides, since that abominable fire witch was able to ambush the flame clone in the fire in advance, it was hard to guarantee that he had no other killer weapon. In case he was forced to fight with himself, even the sword Ji Katie was not sure to escape the death-defying counterattack of a powerful third-order fire witch.
Therefore, on this not peaceful night, the two third-order wizards only fought for one round, and the total time was less than 2 seconds, and they ended up losing both!
Of course, what made Grim even more sad was that the damn sword girl had completely destroyed the holy light with the blade wheel before escaping.
The anger in Grim's chest couldn't be suppressed completely!
