Chapter 53: Losing both
The ice was still thickening, the chill was raging, the water in the air was frozen, one by one, and the tiny freezing points like dust fell from the sky one after another, like a heavy snow that had burst into it.
The sudden drop in temperature was still brewing other related reactions, but Wu Chen could no longer see it, and he had already fainted when he lost control of the frost mist, lying in the middle of a pile of humanoid ice sculptures.
The cold is spreading around, and the recent dense forest has also entered the cold winter early, and the convection of hot and cold air has formed a strong hurricane, the trees rustle, and the ice crystals in the sky have been blown up again, forming a sweeping mist.
The vision was cloudy, and Yuris and Lias marched forward in the wind, their clothes fluttering, their hoods blown and unable to take them up at all, the white frost spread on the surface of their hair and robes, and the air they exhaled rose into a faint white smoke.
The two spellcasters slowly walked into the camp and into the crystal world.
The campfire had turned into a large lump of ice, and the flames had retreated in the ice raging, and Lias silently watched the frozen lives and objects, and the shock that had just calmed down became stronger because of the immersion.
"Teacher, what kind of magic is this?" Lias asked.
"It's not magic...... Yuris shook his head in confusion.
"So what is this? Spell-like abilities? Like a warlock, is it a bloodline talent? Lias was still asking.
"I don't know, I don't know......" Yuris's confusion and confusion are even stronger than him, because the higher the rank, the wider knowledge and level he has been exposed to, the doubts are more intense, this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's spell casting, some like a third-level spell - Ice Roar, Yuris can also do it, and he can do it more beautifully than Wu Chen's, but after watching Wu Chen's spell casting process from beginning to end, this inference was first ruled out by him.
Yuris didn't know how to describe it, the spell paid attention to the explosion of huge energy in a short period of time, but what Wu Chen did was like pouring a pool of water, but it only hit the ground (the damage was too low), but instead washed away the dirt and silt on the ground (the overflowing energy was aimless, and the power was wasted in vain).
It seems earth-shattering, but no one died at the scene, including these mortal mercenaries. They were only frozen temporarily, and when this overflowing magical energy was exhausted, the ordinary gnolls might be weak and stiff, and they might catch a cold or fever afterwards, and the kobold wizard and his summons would have been ready to attack them.
Besides, an apprentice can do this except for level 0 tricks, which Yuris has never seen or heard of.
The two men moved silently towards the center of the battlefield as a series of dramatic effects began to draw to a close, most notably the cyclone disappearing and the temperature began to rise somewhat.
The sight became clear, the ice was melting rapidly, the crystal world was gradually retreating, the kobold wizard and his summoned creatures were really not in place, "Click~~" The sound came from the surrounding gnolls, the thick ice began to crumble, and the freezing effect was about to fade.
Yuris raised his staff, a murmuring spell sounded, the dragon's eye-sized magic core at the top of the short staff flashed a large area of electric sparks, "crackling~~" a crisp sound, the spell fell, the staff pointed forward, and the long electric light hit the jackal in front of him, "Click~~" A thunderclap, the electric snake passed on the ice sculpture of the jackal......
"Boom~~" The ice sculpture swept by the electric snake was blown into pieces, and the frozen limbs were thrown away like a pile of broken stones, just like that, more than thirty powerful warriors died without a whole corpse.
"Whew~~~"
Yuris sneered in the direction of the forest, the staff was erected again, and the sound of death spells came again.
Lias also took out his staff to guard the mentor, a fist-sized fireball shot out from the staff of Yuris, and flew in front of the array of jackals in the left rear, "boom~~", the fireball exploded, a huge shock wave swept across a large area, the ice sculpture shattered, and the fragments melted and burned in the high temperature......
"Wait......"
Yuris withdrew his staff and turned to look at the gnoll wizard who had emerged from the forest.
"Your Excellency, this is a hunting mission from the Red Robe Mage Association, and the target is not you, but your apprentice......"
"Lias?" Yuris's expression moved, looking at his student, Lias was also at a loss, he had just been promoted, and he was in the territory of a little baron in the countryside, in addition to cultivation and experiments, the experience of the past few years was really counted on one hand, why, the Red Robe Mage Association?
"Where does your bloodline come from?" Yuris didn't dwell on the question of his employer, and when he asked, his understanding of the red-robed mage was comparable to that of this subhuman intelligent life.
"Black Dragon, Your Excellency!"
"Oh~~, the dragon vein ......" Yuris suddenly realized, it turned out that it was not a wizard, but a dragon vein warlock, no wonder the process of casting spells was very strange. Let's go. β
As the two talked, all the surviving gnolls had broken free from the frozen state, but the frozen and shivering wolves were weak, and the ice on the mercenaries' bodies was also clattering, only Wu Chen ......
The gnolll wizard, oh no, the gnolll sorcerer's mournful gaze swept over the minced people, more than a hundred and twenty warriors, half of them sleeping here forever, and the enemy.
This world is so cruel, not only are the two of them indifferent to the huge casualties of the mercenaries, for the sake of intelligence, ignoring the huge sacrifices they have made, these human-like sub-intelligent races also do not count the results of the mercenaries, just like the two mages in front of them and these human mercenaries are completely different species.
The jackals left with heavy losses, in the camp, the remnants of spell energy disappeared completely, the camp gradually returned to its original appearance, the mercenaries also broke free from the frozen state, the strong ones were crumbling, the weak ones were unconscious, the two mages ignored these, they only paid attention to their own kind-Wu Chen.
"The standard symptom of a spell backpeck, mentor, what a spell cast."
In the tent, Lias finished his inspection of Wu Chen.
"That's right, a weird spell cast." Yuris sat down cross-legged.
"Is it possible? Didn't touch the web, didn't have the casting steps? β
"Then why can a monster cast a spell? The Arcanists of ancient times did not have a magic web, so how could they create a magical civilization that was far more prosperous than it is now? Yuris asked rhetorically.
"It's ......," Lias said.
"You are too rigid, my students, even the most knowledgeable spellcasters, are groping their way through the fog, there are too many unknowns in this world, the only thing we can do is to keep our eyes open and use the most modest and cautious attitude!"
"Yes, Mentor!" Lias was delightfully taught.
