Is it atmospheric shock?

The first time Monia heard the roar, she recognized the spell used by the intruders. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was just a bland mid-level spell, judging from the other party's wishful expression, it was obvious that the other party still had the power to send this spell - this was not good news for the mage.

It's just that now is not the time to think about this, now that she can discern the type and effect of the spell, Monia naturally raised her arm and spread her five fingers, the invisible barrier collided with the invisible shock wave, and the strong storm raged around the mage's position, and the layers of defensive spells on the bookshelf were activated, emitting light or darkness.

"What a troublesome spell."

Despite using the mage's shield to resist the impact of the first round, Monia did not let up in the slightest - atmospheric shock is a spell that can continue to deal damage, as long as the caster does not stop casting, this spell will theoretically not stop, and the only thing that restricts its duration is the caster's mental power. And the difference between her, who had just been promoted to a mid-level mage, and this intruder, who could invade the core area of the Elven Forest without knowing it, was naturally self-evident.

- The mage is in a very disadvantageous situation.

It's just that this disadvantage is only relative to the overall situation, in fact, Monia is not nervous at all, but just stares at the distorted form in front of her with indifferent eyes, covering the atmospheric air mass that covers almost the entire horizon - this kind of attack, she can hold on, at least until she awakens the will of the ancient tree of knowledge, she can hold on.

Animism, whether it is a flower, a grass, a tree or the world of Aarons itself, has its own spirit, but the fate of the continent has always been dominated by the intelligent races who are the primates of all things, and the possibility of the birth of heterogeneous intelligent life is extremely low, the number is scarce, and it cannot be called a race at all, and even many of them are born under countless coincidences to create unique existences.

The Ancient Tree of Knowledge is one of the very few alien beings, and although the process of its birth is controllable, even in the heyday of the elven race, the total number of ancient trees cultivated did not exceed thirty. In contrast to their scarcity of numbers, they are as powerful as archmages, and as long as Monia can awaken the will of the ancient tree, she is almost invincible.

The enchantment placed by the invaders could seal the space to a certain extent, but it was impossible to close Monia's connection with the will of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge. It's not something hard to understand, and the truth is sometimes simple - because the area sealed by the barrier is the top of the library, and the location of the library is the center of the ancient tree, in short, both she and the intruder are in the "body" of the ancient tree.

In the interior of the ancient tree, the will of the owner of the body is naturally omnipresent.

It's just that the form of existence of the ancient tree of knowledge is almost completely different from that of most life, that is, the dragons overseas have something in common with them - that is, sleepiness, no matter what kind of ancient tree, most of its life is in a state called "sleep", and only the most instinctive will exists. The elves may have spells to force them to awaken, but Monia doesn't know that the only thing she can do is awaken them in the most stupid and primitive way.

-- Communicate with them.

From the elven archmage, Monia obtained access to the ancient tree of knowledge, which was recognized by the will of the ancient tree to a certain extent, in other words, the person who obtained the permission established some kind of temporary connection with the will of the ancient tree in the dark. Perhaps this recognition would be denied later due to the revocation of authority, but now the mage could clearly feel the vast will of the ancient tree and call to it.

Then wait for its response.

It may sound a bit resigned, but in fact, Monia has always had full autonomy - when sensing that the library has been sealed off by intruders with an enchantment, the mage has two options, either to use the ability phase travel attached to the Ring of Deception to escape the barrier, or to communicate with the will of the ancient tree and activate the defense system to fight back.

The mage chose the second option.

Running away doesn't solve anything, and although she is good at escaping, Monia has always liked to use absolute violence to solve all problems. Moreover, even if she failed to awaken the will of the ancient tree in time, she could activate the spell on the Circle of Deception at any time and escape from this enclosed space.

In other words, even in the worst-case scenario, she still retains the ability to retreat.

Fortunately, things don't always go in the worst direction, and when the intruder asks about Yggtrasil's Codex, she successfully communicates with the will of the ancient tree, and the will of the ancient tree gradually awakens under her call - which is why she dares to turn against the other party.

It's just an unexpected process of awakening...... Like a squeamish aristocratic girl lying on a velvet bed in the early morning, yawning lazily, her eyes misty, half-asleep......

Somewhat slow.

The mage could only helplessly taste the bitter fruit of her impulse, silently persevering, waiting.

But before the counterattack arrived, the invaders took the first step to change the status quo.

"It seems that this level of offensive alone will not contain you," he said, recounting the cruel truth in a slightly admiring tone, "but no matter how much you struggle, it is in vain, like a poor flying insect that falls into a spider's web, the more you struggle, the more despair awaits you, why can't you die quietly, for the better of you and me?" You want to fight against me...... You see, my mercy is limited. ”

As his words fell, the atmospheric concussion became more and more intense, and Monia's body was suddenly exploded by the distorted atmosphere, making a thunderous explosion, and the heavy bombardment hit her open mage shield, and the powerful and sharp atmospheric blade tore an extremely small gap in the invisible barrier, even she was not aware of it.

Tiny, yet deadly.

The first thing to be blown up was the mage's clothes, followed by her hood and long black hair, and the last thing to react was her consciousness, but at this time it was too late, and the powerful air pressure penetrated the tyrannical air flow through this gap into the "square inch" less than half a step in front of her.

Almost at the same time as she reacted, there was another explosion in the air, like autumn leaves floating in the autumn wind, the mage flew up, and then the wind was not gentle at all and hit her on the enchantment, the violent collision made her lose control of her body in an instant, and the shield that protected herself lost the control of its owner and shattered like ice crystals falling to the ground, disintegrating into an unknown number of small fragments, dissolving in the wind.

"So, don't blame me, I gave you a chance."

The intruder said this, his tone was flat, his face was neither sad nor joyful, he raised his right hand slightly, and then clenched his palm as if he were pinching a small ant to death.

In response to his movements, there was a howling wind - the storm that had been out of control gradually subsided in his calm tone, but instead of dissipating, it turned into a giant storm hand that was constantly whirlwind, grasping the mage who was pressed against the wall by the strong air current, holding it high, and then pinching it down with all his might.

"Bang!"

The pendulum of time paused slightly, and then continued as usual.

- At that moment, there seemed to be a violent explosion, and the dust raised by the storm dispersed along with the raging air currents, and the entire barrier was filled with a miasma of black smoke. But the intruder only frowned faintly in the face of all this, for him who had already turned on the aether vision, even ten times the dust could not make him feel troubled, and the real reason for his frown was that he did not feel the crushing sensation he should have at the moment when he clenched his palm.

Escaped?

He spread out his palms with some confusion, stared at his palms, and recalled the situation at that time.

She vanished.

The little mage with slightly pointed ears just vanished.

"-- It's a short-distance disordered space jump." Half-sure, the intruder said, he shook his head and didn't think much about it, closed his eyes slightly, invisible ripples spread in all directions, and then returned, drawing everything he perceived in his spiritual world into a detailed map of the library area.

Then, as if something incredible had happened to him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim.

- How is this possible?

There is no one other than him in the range of his perception!

"Is it leaving, or is it ......," the intruder muttered to himself, to him, a mere mid-level mage was just an insignificant speck of dust in his path, and he didn't have to pay attention to it. But this time it was different, there were two possibilities that his wide-area search spell did not find the other party's traces, one was that the other party broke away from the barrier he had arranged, and the other was that the other party had alchemy items that could block his perception of spells.

The former is almost impossible without alarming him, while the latter ...... Even with his knowledge, he still couldn't imagine what kind of props could shield the perception of a mage of his level.

"It's getting more and more interesting......," he thought, and muttered to himself - either case meant that the young mage who was a little too much of a mage had secrets, secrets that were enough to make his heart flutter - and for him, who was extremely curious, it was the meaning of life to uncover the mysteries that he had not yet known.

And now, it's time to reveal the veil of mystery!

The intruder spat out a spell, and the aura of flames exploded around him, sweeping in all directions - rows of bookshelves stirred up defensive barriers of different colors under the attack of the flames, and the defenses of the library area sensed the blazing air, and curtains of water poured down overhead, mixing with the flames, and incandescent water vapor rose and smoke lingered.

"Absent?" The intruder's brows furrowed deeply, the other party used the disorder space to jump away, there is no doubt about this, but the enchantment he arranged has the function of blocking the space, in order to block the sight of the one in the Elven Forest and the means of spatial jumping, leaving no loopholes at all. Not to mention a mid-level mage, even if the archmage wants to break away, it will take a lot of effort.

"It's impossible not to be here, it must be here."

He muttered to himself, it was because he suspected that the other party had alchemy items that blocked the detection spell, so he used the Flame Ring instead of other detection spells to test, but even so, he still found nothing. A little impatient, he paced back and forth, looking around with a fierce expression: "Is this here?" Still here! ”

None of them.

I can't find it anyway.

Until, when an emerald green light appeared in front of his eyes and quickly infects the entire horizon, he still did not notice the trace of the mage's trail.

But it doesn't matter, what matters is that she's here.

It's just a mere mid-level mage, that's all.

In the face of the dazzling emerald green light, he simply raised his head and watched its arrival with a little fanatical gaze, grinning. However, to his surprise, in front of this ray of light, his mage shield shattered like a mirror. Then the light suddenly spread out before his eyes, turning into several strong branches, binding him tightly.

"What a joke!"

He struggled to move his body in bondage, searching for the mage's whereabouts, but as soon as he saw the small figure, he froze suddenly—a ball of flame slowly formed in the opponent's hand, and then pulled out a long fire dragon, rushing, roaring, and coming towards him......

Damn it!

It's a fire blast!
