Sneak attack

Darko walked out of the casino, made his way, and headed back. While walking and thinking about the Alchemy Grand Prix, Kevin said that there are four teams that can be opponents, so it should be good from the perspective of odds, so it seems that the game is not as simple as Phyllis said, and it is likely to face a few tough battles.

Due to the remote location of the casino, there were not many people on the road, and when Darko passed by the fork in the road of a small alley, he suddenly felt an alarm, only to feel that there was a strong killing intent aimed at him. He quickly looked around and found that there was no one on the road where there were not many pedestrians at this time, and he immediately knew that this killing intent was probably not groundless.

Darko was about to take out the magic scroll, but he was suddenly stunned, and he found that the spatial ring was unusable. He had always been accustomed to taking out a magic scroll when he was in danger, and when he found that there was no scroll available, he immediately became nervous, a situation he had only encountered when encountering the chaotic flounder. But Darko was not shocked, the light on his body flashed and was already covered with a layer of frost armor, and at the same time, he rushed into the alley beside him as fast as he could.

Usually when Darko needs defense, he will directly use the scroll of frost armor, and the frost armor technique with weak defense has not been used for a long time, but now in the special case of not being able to take out the scroll, only the second-level frost armor technique has become the fastest defensive magic to cast. The direction of the killing intent just now came from the opposite direction of the alley, and Darko entered the alley without thinking about it in his urgency.

As soon as he entered the alley, Darko immediately regretted it. While this minimizes the range of attacks, it also hinders his own output. After Wendy's reminder, Darko has realized that he himself is an offensive mage whose attack is much higher than defense, and the most correct thing to do at this time should be to attack the enemy, rather than blindly defending. Realizing this, Darko immediately reflexively wanted to rush out of the alley, because judging from the empty street just now, it is likely that the other party is also a ranged attack class, and does not need to keep a distance at all times like VitB12.

But at this moment, a little red light flashed at the far end of the alley, and Dakko suddenly had an alarm in his heart, and hurriedly threw himself back when the space ring could not be used. A sharp attack struck, skimming directly past Darko's back, shattering the Frost Armor's defenses and blooming with brilliant brilliance.

It was so fast! Darko only had time to flash this thought in his mind, and his body fell backwards and turned into a rolling gourd, rolling a long way into the alley before stopping. Then he saw a small hole in the ground, surrounded by a faint black scorch, and in the small hole was a finger-sized piece of metal, pitch black. Darko was horrified when he saw it, recognizing it as an arrow left over from moving at high speed, and other parts such as the shaft and feathers were lost in friction with the defensive magic. There was a chill in his heart, the arrow had not dissipated after shattering his frost armor technique, but still maintained its original shape and shot at the ground. From this alone, Darko was already able to determine that the other party was a very good archer!

With his powerful spiritual power, most of the magicians of the same level were only abused by him when they distanced themselves. It is very likely that at a distance of more than fifty meters, the other party will not be able to lock on to him, but he can barely lock on to the other party with the edge of his mental power. But if there's anything that can be farther than Darko for a ranged opponent, it's the Archer.

Archers don't need to lock with mental power, but a farther vision, and the archer's physical strength is much better than that of the magician, and there is no better way to escape than to use space magic.

Realizing this, Darko immediately tensed up and was fully on guard. It was no longer the point why the other party wanted to kill him, he had learned to accept reality in the previous year. Then he thought about the next way to deal with it, it was not wise for a mage to fight an archer, and the best option if possible was to escape. After practicing the inscription skill every day some time ago, there are not a lot of magic scrolls in Darko's hand, but they are all placed in the space ring and cannot be taken out.

Darko didn't have time to think about it, another little crimson light flashed, and this time Darko clearly saw the archer's position, which was directly opposite the alley, on a row of five-story roofs separated by two streets, a straight line distance of more than a hundred meters. This further confirmed Darko's guess that the other party must have been ambushed there in advance, that is, he was forced to hide in a small alley with murderous intent at the beginning, which was also calculated by the other party. And that little crimson light is the sign of a flame archer, the other party is actually a magic archer with fire element talent!But a distance of 100 meters is still beyond Darko's expectations, the maximum range of ordinary archers can reach more than 300 meters, but the effective range is only about 80 meters, beyond which even ordinary light armor cannot shoot through, let alone the mage's defensive magic. It is said that the strongest saint-level powerhouse in history, using a hallows level bow, has an effective range of only 150 meters without using skills. But the archer who attacked Darko was probably to prevent Darko's counterattack, and the distance was 100 meters away, but the arrows he shot were still so powerful that he was shocked in his heart.

Darko raised his foot and kicked up a pebble, and the spell that had been prepared for a long time was released at the same time, and a large piece of ice crystals quickly condensed, forming a four-sided ice barrier in front of him. Darko had already begun to prepare for this magic when he felt the killing intent, until the second arrow was fired. This is Daktronics' latest use of the Ice Barrier, using the stone as the center point of the spiritual power lock, and the ice barrier released can play a defensive role. Compared to the Ice Barrier released at the center of the caster, since this is twice as thick and solid, it has three times more defense, and it does not hinder your movement and cast.

Daktronics' alley is lined with three-story houses, and Daktronics' ice barrier, as soon as it is released, immediately joins the walls together, forming a piece of ice sandwiched between the two walls. But immediately, the entire ice barrier and the walls on both sides shook violently, and Darko saw that a cone-shaped hole had appeared on the opposite side of the square ice barrier, and the tip did not terminate until the center of the ice barrier.

No matter how powerful the arrow was, it was impossible to shatter a fourth-level magic in an instant, but this time Darko could clearly see the movement of the arrow through the ice barrier. When the arrow broke through the ice barrier, he saw that the light on the periphery of the arrow was rapidly weakened, but the speed of the arrow did not decrease, and it was not until the fighting spirit was completely exhausted that the arrow instantly stopped, remaining in the center of the ice barrier. Darko was shocked in his heart, and it was simply against common sense to be hindered but not to slow down!

Dakko was analyzing the other party's data and going through it quickly in his mind, while thinking quickly about what to do. Judging from the damage of the arrow's attack to the ice barrier, the opponent's attack is equivalent to the output of the third-level magic, and based on the interval between the first two arrows, the preparation time for the opponent's arrow release is faster than the speed at which Dakomo recites the third-level magic.

Sure enough, after the equal interval of time, another crimson light lit up, from far to near, in an instant! The arrow actually drilled into the cone of the previous arrow, and then shot through the ice barrier. The arrow was completely still as it pierced, and a bolt of white smoke fell to the ground, but even so, Darko felt a sharp wind blowing in his face, and although it didn't hurt him, it made his cheeks ach.

When the crimson light flashed again, Darko also cast an ice barrier in front of his body at the same time, a defensive spell that Darko was already familiar with. But this time, instead of continuing to shoot through the hole, the arrow exploded with a bang, scattering the ice barrier in front of it into specks of ice.

This way, Darko had at least one more ice barrier in front of him, allowing him a little more time to regain his mana. Although it seems to be evenly matched, in fact, as a great mage, Darko is only able to use the Ice Barrier four times in a row, even with the enchantment of extreme mana. And the other party is an archer, and the consumption must be much less than that of the magician, so he will soon be unable to sustain it.

Darko was shocked in his heart, the magic archer with such archery skills also forced him into this small alley with ambush tactics, which showed that the other party was bound to win. Darko stroked the rhinoceros ring on his finger, if it hadn't been for the cast speed bonus provided by this ring, he would probably have been injured after the three arrows just now. Who is the person who has such a strong archery skill and still plays this kind of conspiracy and trickery, attacking himself?

Soon Dacko had an answer, and a figure emerged from behind the roof in the distance, revealing the image of a male archer. He held a huge black longbow in his hand, almost the height of his entire person, and the dragon tendon quiver on his waist was obviously larger than normal, and there were more than thirty arrows in it. He was dressed in light armor and wore a light and simple helmet on his head, but there was indifference in his eyes, and his voice came faintly, "Darko, do you have such a little ability? ”

"Adam!" Darko could tell who he was by the voice, even though he had changed his outfit and his face was somewhat obscured by his helmet. This person is Darko's potential rival, the first heir to the Stuart family, and Darko only remembered the other party's other identity - the chief of his rank on the life spectrum!

Darko's heart was awe-struck, he had always thought that the sneak attack on him should be an archer of a higher rank than him, but he didn't expect it to be a level. He had also expected that Adam, his rival, would cause him some trouble, but he did not expect it to come so quickly. Although the level is the same, Darko has just been promoted to the Great Magician, but the other party has been stable at the Great Samurai level for many years, maybe one day he will be upgraded to the level of a swordsman, just looking at the ranking on the life spectrum, the difference between the two sides is more than two hundred.

Darko once thought that no matter how bad he was in the confrontation of the same level, he would be tied, and he also had the capital to think so, his real name, the pupil of cause and effect, and the blood of flounder, no matter which one was not an ordinary commodity. But he was at a disadvantage at this time, and the reason why he was so passive in the face of Adam of the same level was mainly because Adam had the first move, not only taking the lead in occupying the firing point at a suitable distance, but also blocking the space in some way, so that he could not open the space ring. Darko's way of fighting relied too much on magic scrolls, and now he suddenly couldn't use them, putting him at a disadvantage in an instant.

Darko gritted his teeth, and the wand that Wendy gave him was also in the spatial ring, if he could hold it in his hand and cast a spell, the power would be greatly increased, then he would not be so stretched now. But he didn't have time to complain that Adam didn't give him a fair chance to fight, the sneak attack was to attack him unprepared, and he tried every means to limit the opponent's ability, VitB12 had taught him a lot at this point, but after returning to the Amecia plane, Darko unconsciously relaxed, subconsciously thinking that he was no longer in any danger, Darko was doing self-examination, and it seemed that he could not let his guard down at any time.

"Adam, why are you attacking me?" Darko asked, shouting as he thought about what to do.

"The weak, there is no power to know the truth, if you can defeat me, I will tell you why. Adam's words seemed to not want to waste time with Dako, but in fact he did not attack immediately. He first slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the three-dimensional glyphs on his hands and arms, the lines of the glyphs and the lines of his muscles contrasted with each other, and there was a strange beauty.

"You're an inscriptionist, so you should know the skill bonuses of my glyphs, the aim and fire glyph on your left arm increases accuracy when you move your attack, and the rapid fire glyph on your right arm shortens the gap between arrows when you fire rapid. However, these are only auxiliary ...... to me," Adam said, standing firmly on the roof with a lunge, calmly stretching his bow and arrow, aiming the tip of the arrow at Darko, "My greatest reliance is the ability of the bloodline - constant speed!"
