Chapter 109: The Staff of the Sword God
Located in the western part of the Horman continent, the Firefly Forest borders the Magic Empire Netherre, and is named after the large number of magical fireflies that live and produce glowrose crystals.
Because of the magic fireflies, the Flowing Firefly Forest has abundant magical elements, and there are many mage towers around the forest, which is one of the main gathering places for magicians in the Homan Empire.
After becoming a master, a magician has the ability to build his own mage tower, which is generally ten to twelve meters high. Becoming a high-ranking mage is one who is able to build taller mage towers, ranging from twenty to fifty meters.
The red-robed mage Bergkamp is one of the five high-ranking mages in the Flowing Firefly Forest, and is the envy of many mages. He built his own Upper Mage Tower, named it "Red Tower". The red tower is thirty-seven meters high, gradually tapering from the bottom to the top, and there are countless protective magic arrays on the body of the tower, which is difficult to break even if the enemy is a high-ranking mage.
No one dares to provoke a high-ranking mage, but today is the exception.
This morning, a team of about fifty people appeared outside the Red Tower. One of the team's junior mages visits the Red Tower and presents a war book - a high-ranking swordsman wants to challenge the Red Tower's owner, the red-robed mage Bergkamp.
After receiving the letter, Bergkamp smiled contemptuously, tore up the letter, and unfolded all the protective magic arrays of the Mage Tower, maintaining the strongest protection state.
After receiving the news, the team outside the red pagoda immediately began to make an unexpected move, and the magicians in the team began to use the magic of "turning mud into stone", gradually turning the ground into hard stone, and finally formed a stone path of nearly 500 meters.
The stone path faces the Red Pagoda straight at the very front, two hundred meters from the Red Pagoda, and the foremost stone path is subjected to "advanced lithotechnique", which transforms the ordinary rocky ground into harder granite.
Most of the group followed an inconspicuous little old man to the very end of the stone path, and then the little old man took out a metal rod from the carriage.
This metal rod is a standard cylinder, about six meters long, about thirty centimeters in diameter, and weighing one hundred kilograms, and it is engraved with dense magic patterns and magic arrays.
The small old man held the metal stick in one hand, and with a fighting spirit in his hand, he firmly grasped the "Sword God Staff" - the name was given by Lear.
The red-robed mage Bergkamp saw this scene through the window and sneered: "Thick headless dragon slayer spear? really think this kind of thing can break through the protection of the red tower? Ignorant swordsman!" After speaking, he turned around and left, returning to his laboratory.
Countless mages watched this scene in the Firefly Forest, some of them watched by controlling animals, some using long-range magic mirrors, some using mage eyes, and a few even came here in person.
Thirty kilometers away, in a pure white high-ranking mage tower, two high-ranking mages and three ** masters were in front of a huge magic mirror, and the magic mirror showed the scene around the red tower.
"Who of you knows who is going to deal with Bergkamp?" asked the eldest white-robed senior mage.
"I heard that he was involved in a royal feud and tried to kill Count Lear, but for some reason, the boy Count disappeared. The person who came was supposed to be the superior swordsman of Port Lear. A ** teacher in his fifties said respectfully.
"Even the royal magician didn't participate in the struggle between the two princes, he actually wanted to intervene, and he didn't know what benefits he received. Which side is he on?" asked the senior mage.
"He has a good relationship with the two princes, and the two princes are courting him, and he doesn't seem to be particularly partial to anyone. That one is still alive, and Bergkamp doesn't dare to be presumptuous. However, there has been a rumor recently that the Grand Prince has bribed Bergkamp to kill Earl Lear. However, after the news reached the imperial capital, the eldest prince scolded the second prince for planting false accusations. The youngest ** teacher said.
"Magicians shouldn't be involved in worldly struggles!Do you think that superior swordsman can succeed?"
The other mages were silent, apparently believing that victory belonged to the red-robed mage.
Outside the Red Tower.
"General, are you ready?" asked a magician respectfully.
"Let's get started!" the general said lightly, waving the sword god's staff.
The people around them methodically began to cast spells and use magic guides, including not only magicians, but also two high-ranking priests, a barbarian witch doctor, and a werewolf shaman.
The general's left hand was not idle, and he took out the prepared potions from the magic bag and ate them one by one.
Spells, prayers, witchcraft, and totemism, combined with the general's own fighting spirit, five different powers appeared in the general alone, and his body shimmered with different colors of brilliance.
After the blessing of witchcraft and totemism, the general suddenly roared, muscles bulged, green tendons twisted, and his body slowly expanded. Ten seconds passed, the general's clothes were shattered, revealing a terrifying body, and he turned from a shriveled little old man into a two-meter-tall strong man.
At this time, the blood of the general's whole body was rushing rapidly, and the water fighting qi of the upper rank was all over his body, and the color of his skin had turned dark red, like a terrifying monster.
"Bang...... Bang...... Bang......" Everyone nearby could hear the sound of the general's heart beating rapidly, like beating a war drum.
At this time, the general was like a giant who came out of mythology, as if he could tear through the sky and step on the earth at any time, and the people around him subconsciously retreated.
While the general was adapting to his new body, the surrounding mages continued to cast spells on the staff of the sword god, and the staff of the sword god gradually brightened, and finally activated the magic array of the staff body, which was a little dazzling.
After the magician stopped casting, the general finally adapted to the changes in his body, and a mist of water condensed by the fighting spirit emitted out, and in the blink of an eye, the general's whole person was surrounded by a cloud of water mist - this was a more advanced form of fighting qi body protection, and all the clothes around his body were torn.
The general held the staff of the sword god in his right hand and began to run.
"Papapa......" The general stepped barefoot on the ground and slowly increased his speed.
The speed of the "bang......" general has been extremely fast, and the body has formed an afterimage.
In the last two hundred meters, every step the general took would form a huge collapse under his feet, and a large area ......of cracks like spider webs appeared around the pit, and even the rocky ground could not resist his stepping.
With a loud pop, the general stepped on the rock, throwing the sword god's staff with all his strength.
The tail of the Sword God's Staff burst out with brilliant cone-shaped brilliance, instantly passing through the space of two hundred meters and hitting the Red Tower.
There are countless magic protections on the top of the Red Tower, even if the Demon Breaking Arrow can only penetrate one percent, but in front of the Staff of the Sword God, the Red Tower is like a building block.
The Staff of the Sword God pierces through all protective magic, creating a large explosion when it hits the Red Tower, and then passes through the Tower.
The bottom of the red tower exploded, and the tower could not withstand such a violent force, so it broke into six pieces and collapsed.
There is a high-ranking mage, a ** master, three high-level mages, more than thirty other mages, more than a hundred magic apprentices, and ten swordsman guards on the red tower.
Under the Staff of the Sword God, except for Bergkamp himself and a ** disciple who was located at the top, everyone else died.
At the time of the collapse of the Mage Tower, Bergkamp and his disciples were in a closed magic laboratory, and the "accidental teleportation technique" that could teleport in case of danger was ineffective, and the two men fell along with multiple magic shields and the Red Tower.
There are a large number of unstable potions and special magic items in the magic laboratory, and when concussed, a strong magical reaction occurs, forming a terrifying explosion. Bergkamp and his disciples were first stunned by the explosion, then slammed to the ground, crushed by the fragments of the Red Tower. Even with a magic shield, it takes extremely serious damage.
Two people were unconscious.
The general's condition was very bad, his right arm and right shoulder were almost broken, the flesh of his right arm and right hand exploded, and more than half of the flesh disappeared, revealing Bai Sensen's bones. His foot bones were shattered inch by inch, his leg was broken, and he was completely supported by fighting spirit.
A magician immediately ran over and took out the teleportation magic array.
The general stood on top of the magic array, waved at the Red Tower, and vanished. Others retreated in an orderly manner.
The Earls knew that Bergkamp had not succeeded in capturing Lear, and that Bergkamp was close to the royal family and was friends with the current Emperor Grant, so the General did not intend to kill Bergkamp - they were here to test new weapons and to deter the enemy.
If they dare to provoke Port Lear again, the Lear family will definitely retaliate with all their might!
All mages were awe-inspiring by the terrifying destructive power of the Sword God's Staff.
Inside the White Tower, the five mages were dumbfounded.
"This ...... I didn't expect that in addition to the Sword Master, the high-level swordsman could also cause such terrifying destructive power, this was already a strategic-level attack method! As long as there were ten high-level swordsmen, they could destroy any city in the Starry Sky Continent! From now on, the status of the high-level swordsman would no longer be lower than that of the high-level mage. The black-robed senior mage said excitedly.
"I don't know of any magic that can defend against this attack, this level of attack is far stronger than the limit of what protective magic can withstand. Maybe the dimensional gate can, but we have to cast the spell ahead of time and make sure the spear enters the door accurately - there is no real chance of success. "The white-robed high-ranking mage is much calmer.
"No matter what, the Lear family is bound to rise, and the royal family and the military will not let go of this weapon. The youngest ** teacher said.
"Wouldn't the appearance of this weapon be the end of our magicians?" a thin ** master complained.
"You are so obsessed with destructive power that you have forgotten the nature of magic. What's more, there would be no weapon without a magician. The black-robed senior mage said with a smile.
"It may not be the end of the magician, but the superior swordsman has indeed ushered in a new era. The white-robed mage sighed lightly.
Magicians and swordsmen represent different directions, with magic always emphasizing preparation before battle, while swordsmen are all about improvisation.
The magic crossbow with the magic breaking arrow is easy to kill the mage, because the mage focuses on strengthening the mental power, **limited, it is difficult to catch high-speed crossbow arrows, and it is difficult to dodge quickly, but the swordsman is different, comprehensively strengthens the body, even if it is an intermediate swordsman, he can also dodge the ordinary magic crossbow at a short distance.
The biggest weapon used by the swordsmen of the Starry Sky Continent was the Demon Breaking Spear. However, the surface area of a demon-breaking spear is limited, and the additional magic array is limited, so the lethality is naturally limited, and it has no effect on the mage tower with compound magic protection.
Before that, no one had ever tried what would happen to a high-ranking swordsman who was blessed with all kinds of magic and threw a weapon as large as the Staff of the Sword God with all his might.
Word of the battle soon spread throughout the wizarding world, and more and more magicians began to pay attention to Port Lear.
Three days later, the Grand Prince proposed that Marshal White, the commander of the Horman Emperor's ** department, issue a special protection order designating Lear as the "Guardian of the Empire", intending to murder Earl Lear, which is equivalent to endangering national security. Ten Royal Magicians, the Royal Third Knights, and the Marshal's Guards then set out from the Imperial Capital for Port Lear – all for the Staff of the Sword God.
Port Lear became the most striking city of the Holman Empire outside of the imperial capital.
At the same time as the Staff of the Sword God destroyed the Red Tower, Lear had just finished his lunch - the finger fire roasted demon rabbit legs, and was looking at the sky in a daze, when a silver dragon broke into view.
"It's a silver dragon? Lear quickly stood up and watched with interest, "Why is it dangling, it's drunk?"
The silver dragon was flying high and low, fast and slow, and in a moment it fell towards Lear.
Lear hurriedly got up to dodge, crying and laughing.
The ten-meter-long silver dragon fell to the ground with a thud and rolled around, and the air was suddenly filled with the smell of dragon blood. The dragon's blood fell to the ground, sizzling, corroding into holes.
Lear saw that the silver dragon was covered in scars, with its left wing broken and its right hind leg completely gone. He keenly noticed that the silver dragon's abdomen was slightly bulging, and there were no scars on its abdomen.
Lear's first thought was to kill the silver dragon, but the next moment he hesitated.
"Dragons have extraordinary abilities, and if you kill a dragon, any dragon who sees me will know that I will be the enemy of the good dragon. Moreover, the good dragon is an ally of mankind, and all humans who slaughter the good dragon are tantamount to betraying humanity and will be hunted down by all countries. These scars are all sword wounds, and they are obviously injured by different fighting spirits, even if I kill this dragon and get dragon scales and dragon skin dragon tendons or something, I will inevitably face the pursuit of multiple powerful enemies. The cannibal family had mentioned the silver dragon before, could it be that this is it? They are really bold!"
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
Lear immediately made the choice that best served his interests, and he took out the High Healing Ring and released it on the Silver Dragon.
A dazzling white light entered the dragon's body, but the white light swept through the silver dragon's wound, only allowing the wound to heal, but not completely healing, and most of the white light concentrated on the silver dragon's abdomen.
Remembering the legend of the dragon, Lear said to himself: "It seems that the book is right, dragons are too powerful, and their bodies resist all external forces, not only against negative forces, but also with positive ones. ”
"You know too much!" a human female voice rang out.
The originally unconscious silver dragon suddenly stretched out its front paws and grabbed Lear, one of the fingers against Lear's head, and she could kill Lear with a little force.
Sensing the silver dragon's undisguised killing intent, Lear was startled, but then calmed down.
He hurriedly said, "I am your savior!"
Unexpectedly, the silver dragon suddenly looked at Lear suspiciously, and the dragon's eyes widened, and he looked at him again and again.
Lear was in a cold sweat, not knowing what she was thinking.
The silver dragon looked at him for thirty seconds, and suddenly showed an excited expression, and his body trembled slightly.
"Did you go to the Nightfall Forest?" asked the silver dragon aloud.
Lear nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I've been." ”
The silver dragon suddenly grinned and laughed, but Lear was cold, and the bloody dragon teeth were terrifying.
"You saved me, I will repay you! Don't move, I will take you back to my lair!"
After saying that, the silver dragon grabbed Lear, slowly lifted into the air, and quickly flew towards the mountain. She flies fast, but because of a wing injury, she flies crookedly.
Lear looked at the huge body of the silver dragon, and his heart was filled with sadness.
"I hope she won't promise her body, this size ......"
