"Now, you can cast spells."

Susu accepted the challenge. However, her tone was so careless, with a hint of contempt. Even her eyes never continued to be focused on Hopkins.

That feeling is as if Hopkins is just an ordinary old man with a shotgun and a combat power of five, and she is a Super Saiyan who can explode a wave of stars.

Under the solemn challenge of Hopkins, and under the watchful eye of the senior legendary mage, Su Su only focused on the battlefield under the city, and organized the thousands of undead into organized battle formations, and launched a wave of unsettled and wave after wave offensive towards the eighteen pillar powerhouses, as well as the battle priests and holy warriors on the starting position.

Under the command of Su Su's formation, the organized army of the undead exerted a stronger combat effectiveness. Whether it was the eighteen Amaterasu Pillar powerhouses under the city, or the starting position, the battle priests and holy warriors from the Radiant Holy Sect were all surrounded by the army of the undead.

Even if they are strong, it is difficult for them to break out of the encirclement for a moment. On the contrary, under the undead frenzy that is not afraid of death, one after another, he quickly consumes his physical strength and energy. Those battle priests and holy warriors, the reserves of divine skills and holy power are also rapidly depleting.

In this case, even if those strong people can break out of the encirclement, their physical strength, energy, divine arts, and holy power will be very little left. At least, tonight, they could no longer pose a threat to the hilltop fortress.

Now, the only one who can pose a threat to the fortress is the legendary mage Hopkins.

But now, when this senior legendary mage overlooked Su Su from a height of two hundred meters, he did not have the slightest condescending sense of superiority in his heart. was contemptuous of Su Su, and trembled with anger.

Today's encounter is a rare shame in Hopkins' life. Not only did the strategic plan promoted by him suffer heavy losses, the army suffered heavy losses, but even the powerhouses from the Holy Light Alliance suffered great sacrifices.

Five mages, eleven knights with silver shields, sixteen priests, three battle priests, seven paladins...... In particular, the sacrifices of priests, battle priests, and paladins made Hopkins even more angry.

He learned the lesson of the death of the mages and the knights of the silver shield, and ordered the battle priests and paladins not to enter the area of dead magic, but only to supervise the battle from the starting position. He also transferred twenty priests to the Amaterasu and kept them with him.

I thought that this arrangement was foolproof. The battle priests, holy warriors, and priests will not die in vain no matter what. But she never expected that the legendary female mage would actually use a demon-like method, using an aura that exuded a filthy and evil undead aura to envelop the entire mountain battlefield, and also enveloped one-fifth of the fleet!

Under the influence of that filthy and evil aura, the priests, battle priests, and holy warriors of the Lord turned into evil undead, lost their minds, and launched a surprise attack on their close comrades.

Sixteen priests, three battle priests, and seven paladins have either degenerated into evil undead or been raided and killed by their comrades who have turned into undead before they can play any role in this battle!

If they all died on the battlefield in the open, then Hopkins might think a little better in his heart. However, they sacrificed so inexplicably, and their death was even less worthy than those five magicians and eleven silver shield knights!

This made Hopkins simply unbearable.

Extremely angry, Hopkins didn't even bother to clean up the hundreds of undead on the Amaterasu, so he flew directly over the fortress, stayed outside the transcendent forbidden area, and challenged Susu.

But the result of the challenge, in retrospect, is nothing more than self-defeating. Susu ostensibly accepted his challenge, but her nonchalant tone and non-caring eyes once again severely humiliated Hopkins.

This made Hopkins, who was already extremely angry, almost burned his mind with anger.

However, he is a veteran legendary mage with a strong ability to control his emotions - a mage must maintain a high level of calm at all times. Otherwise, if the mood swings are too large, not only will it not be conducive to combat, but it may lead to a failed spell cast and a backlash.

So Hopkins took a deep breath, his eyes gradually calmed down, and without saying a word of nonsense, he raised his staff without hesitation and chanted the incantation loudly.

Hopkins had long discovered that the area of dead magic that shrouded the fortress could only prohibit magic, divine arts, and supernatural abilities below level nine.

Although in this way, most of his spells were basically abolished - after all, even if he was a legendary mage, there would not be too many ninth-level magic and legendary magic, but this dead magic area was fair, and that legendary female mage would also be affected by the death magic area, and could only cast spells above level nine.

And the number of high-level spells that a legendary mage can use, and even the number of legendary spells, is directly proportional to the time after the mage has advanced to the legendary. The more experienced the legendary mage, the more high-level spells he knows.

After all, every spell takes time to study and learn. The more advanced the spell, the more difficult it is to study and learn, and the longer it will take to consume. Some esoteric legendary spells require months, years, or even more than ten years of research before they can be mastered.

"I've been a legendary mage for ninety-three years. Master five legendary spells, one of which is self-created. I have also mastered a lot of ninth-level magic. This legendary female mage, even if her understanding of the rules is far above mine, looking at her appearance, she is not too old, at most not more than twenty-five years old. No matter how talented he is, he doesn't have enough time to study spells......

"Moreover, she had just cast an incredibly powerful undead aura, and even with the help of the Legendary Staff, it would consume a huge amount of spiritual power. With her beginner-level legendary strength, I don't believe she still has much spiritual power left! I will definitely win this battle! Her only option now is to escape......"

Hopkins chanted a spell loudly, his eyes locked on Su Su, and with the confidence of victory, he prepared a powerful ninth-level spell. While Hopkins was preparing the spell, Su Su didn't react and let him prepare the spell without interrupting him in the slightest.

In this regard, Li Qing was puzzled: "What the hell is Su Su doing?" Why don't you interrupt the opponent's spell casting? That legendary mage didn't cast an instantaneous spell, but cast a spell that required a spell to prepare, such a good opportunity, why didn't Su Su make a move? With her character, it is impossible to talk about any knightly demeanor, and let the other party prepare spells, right? Don't...... That's a trap? ”

When Li Qing was full of doubts, Hopkins' spell was ready. He sang the last syllable, and the staff pointed at Su Su Yaoyao, and a translucent force field palm instantly formed, falling from the sky and hitting Su Su on the head.

This force field palm is not too big, only one person tall. Compared with the giant palm of the force field that Su Su used during the day, which was shaped like a real palm and could cover the super battleship Amaterasu with one palm, the momentum was more than a step weaker.

However, although the force field palm didn't look strong, compared to the ninth-level magic meteor burst that summoned four flame meteors, the aura was simply negligible, but it was still a ninth-level magic after all.

And it is also a ninth-level magic specifically for a single target, with a high degree of energy condensation. The lethality of high-level single targets is more powerful than the arrogant meteor burst.

As long as it hits, even a legendary knight will break his bones and tendons, and he will be seriously injured and vomit blood.

And a mage with a fragile physique, even if he is a legendary mage, will instantly turn into meat sauce if he is actually hit by this palm.

The palm of the force field struck down on the head, and Su Su, who was controlling the army of the undead, only raised his head and glanced lightly, shaking his hand and throwing out a silver cloak. Then she stared at the silver cloak, and with her gifted magic eye, stretched the cloak inlaid with bright silver scales straight and met the force field palm like an iron plate.

Boom!

In the loud sound that resounded through the four fields, the silver cloak in the palm of the force field was in the middle. The force field palm that was enough to crush the powerful flesh of the legendary knight hit the silver cloak, but only the silver cloak was sent out into a flurry of frost flowers!

Under the cloak, patches of frost splashed like broken jade. The shock wave generated when the palm of the force field collided with the silver cloak swept in all directions, setting off a terrible wind roar like Devil May Cry.

If you are swept by this shockwave, even a gold-level warrior will have to break a few bones. But the shockwave erupted in the air, soaring in all directions, and nothing swept away.

After the shockwave disappeared, the silver cloak slowly flew down and fell back into Su Su's hand.

"It's worthy of Su Su, it's really cunning to the extreme!" Looking at the silver cloak, Li Qing was very happy in his heart: "Use the silver dragon cloak to offset a ninth-level magic of the other party, and you have almost no consumption, this deal is too cost-effective!" That legendary mage, I'm afraid my lungs are going to explode at this moment! ”

The cloak thrown by Su Su was the silver dragon cloak. It is a legendary powerhouse of the elven clan of the Calondo continent, using the dragon skin and dragon scales of an adult silver dragon as the main material, adding various precious magic materials to create legendary items.

The dragon skin and dragon scales of the silver dragon are already amazingly strong, and they may not be damaged by a single hit of ninth-level magic. After being made into a legendary item by the legendary mage of the elven race, the strength is even higher.

A legendary item of this strength is not indestructible. Just a ninth-level magic spell wasn't enough. If you want to destroy the silver dragon cloak, I'm afraid you have to use two or three more ninth-level magic to completely smash it!

Seeing that Su Su actually used a legendary item to block his ninth-level magic, although Hopkins did not explode his lungs as angry as Li Qing thought, the corners of his eyes twitched in anger.

His eyes widened without the demeanor of a legendary powerhouse, and his eyeballs almost bulged. He stared at the silver dragon cloak in Su Su's hand, his heart was surging, and he secretly shouted: "Another legendary item!" First the staff, then the cloak, how many legendary items does that woman have? What is she? Why is the net worth so rich? ”

No wonder Hopkins was excited. It's really a legendary item, and it's so precious.

To create a legendary item, you need a large number of precious materials, and you have to have a legendary powerhouse who is proficient in alchemy to create it. And not every legendary mage is an alchemy master, and quite a few legendary mages, although they can refine high-quality magic items, they also do not have the ability to create legendary items.

Only Alchemists who have upgraded their alchemy skills to the legendary level can craft legendary items.

But even alchemists don't always succeed when crafting legendary items. There is a considerable chance that the material will be reduced to a pile of waste residue.

Therefore, successfully refining a legendary item often requires several times as many materials and takes years.

Not to mention how huge the consumption of cherished materials is, even if you can spend a huge amount of money to gather enough materials, you may not be able to find an alchemist master. Even if he found an alchemist and could afford to pay a high salary, it was a matter of two to say whether the alchemist would be willing to spend years of time and energy refining legendary items.

Under various conditions, even the vast majority of legendary powerhouses do not have legendary items by their side.

Many powerhouses with legendary items have either inherited their legendary items from their ancestors, such as the little dragon girl; Or, while exploring various ancient ruins, you have an adventure and pick up legendary items.

Although Hopkins was a nobleman, he had no ancestral legendary items to inherit, nor did he encounter any special adventures. Therefore, as a senior legendary mage of the second order of legends, he does not have a single legendary item. And Su Su took out two legendary items in one go!

This made Hopkins wonder about Susu's origins, and at the same time, his confidence in victory gradually wavered.

His confidence was shaken, not because Su Su blocked his ninth-level magic with a legendary item.

He hadn't expected that he would be able to defeat Su Su with a single level nine magic.

It's just that Susu's endless props make Hopkins feel very bottomless. He didn't know how many good things Su Su still hid. Could it be that after getting the worst, she suddenly pulled out an artifact?

In Hopkins' view, his guess is not impossible.

"It can create a dead magic area, and ban all magic below level 9...... Take out two props at random, one of which can easily kill three Pillar Kingdom powerhouses, and the other battle puppet can block six Pillar Kingdom powerhouses with one enemy and six...... Seeing that the battle was about to collapse, he took out another legendary staff and cast an aura, instantly reversing the situation. Now he took out another legendary cloak, although I don't know what the specific ability of the cloak is in Lu Dao, but it can also block a ninth-level magic ...... at the very least."

Thinking of this, Hopkins was shaken again: "No wonder she has such a contemptuous and even dismissive attitude when faced with my challenge!" No wonder she let me prepare spells without even looking at me! Judging from her attitude just now, she must have more hole cards in her hand, which will be so fearless! It is not impossible to come up with an artifact at a critical moment! ”

Hopkins was stunned by his reasoning.

But the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became. Because of Su Su's attitude, it is too suspicious. The kind of carelessness, the kind of understatement, the kind of contempt and even ignorance, the kind of brazenness that allows him to cast spells without interrupting them......

All of this shows that Su Su still has more powerful hole cards, and once it is taken out, it is a shock!

"No, I can't make an easy move until I try out her hole cards!"

Hopkins's gaze swept over the powerhouses of the Pillar Kingdom who were slowly breaking through in the undead frenzy, and said in his heart: "As a mage, it is the most stupid choice to charge into battle in person. With such high-quality cannon fodder, you can let them test it first! ”

Thinking of this, Hopkins didn't say a word, turned around and flew back.

The Imperial troops in the city were all stunned. Li Qing and the others were also stunned. Even the powerhouses of the Pillar Country, who were surrounded by the army of the undead and were trying to break through, were stunned for a moment.

No one thought that Hopkins, who came violently, would leave without saying a word. Only cast a ninth-level magic, and after one blow without attacking, he actually stopped attacking! It felt as if his previous challenge didn't exist.

Everyone looked at Hopkins' distant figure in disbelief, only Su Su, still as if Hopkins did not exist, looked at the city intently, commanding the army of the undead, and consuming the physical strength of the strong men of the Pillar Country.

However, although she was dismissive of Hopkins on the surface, the corners of her mouth covered by the mask burst into a smug smile.

That smile was very inconsistent with her majestic and indifferent image of the majestic queen, like a cat that had stolen a fish, and like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.

Because this time, Susu is really bluffing!

Casting the undead aura did consume a lot of her mental power. Although her remaining spiritual power is still enough for her to cast many powerful spells, and even for her to kill the eighteen powerhouses of the Pillar Kingdom under the city, and even those battle gods and holy warriors she can kill together, but these spiritual powers are not enough to support her victory over Hopkins.

The inability to defeat Hopkins is not because Susu doesn't know as many spells as Hopkins.

Hopkins thinks Susu is a new legend and certainly doesn't have time to study too many spells. But he would never know that Su Sunai was once a super god powerhouse, and he had been in all planes for more than a thousand years. The high-level spells she knows are vast. Most of these spells, Hopkins may not have heard of.

In terms of the number of spells, the high-level spells that Hopkins knows are not as good as a fraction of Susu's. But the problem is, after all, Hopkins is a second-order legendary mage, and except for fighting Su Su once in the morning, he has always been recuperating and energetic. In the state of the two, if Su Suzhen fought with him, he had no chance of winning at all, so he could only take Li Qing and the others to run away quickly.

So Susu has been bluffing since she accepted Hopkins' challenge.

Her careless contempt, her indifference to manipulating the undead without looking at Hopkins, and her brazenness to allow Hopkins to prepare spells without interrupting them were both to anger Hopkins and to plant a seed in Hopkins' heart.

A seed of doubt.

When she showed off her silver dragon cloak and easily blocked Hopkins' ninth-level magic with this legendary item, the seed sprouted. Hopkins' confidence was shaken, and he began to be suspicious, reasoning and speculating, and gradually became frightened by himself, and finally retreated decisively.

If Hopkins was not a mage, but a fierce and courageous warrior, or a staunch and fanatical saint, then Susu's psychological warfare was likely to fail.

Fighters fight to the point of sex, often hot-headed and ignorant. Saints who have strong faith are paranoid, and what they believe will never change, and they will often carry it out one by one. If you say that you are a challenge, you will definitely carry it to the end.

Only a mage who has a strong ability to control emotions, takes staying calm at all times as the first battlefield element, has a very smart brain and thinks a lot, is very afraid of death compared to other professions, and can give up the soles of his feet to smear oil at critical moments, will be fooled.

As a mage, Su Su naturally understands mages.

That's why she was able to succeed in bluffing, and when she couldn't make a move, she frightened Hopkins.

When Hopkins retreated, Su Su snickered and said secretly: "The psychological warfare has succeeded!" Hehe, I was able to spend this night safely! After tonight, I have regained my strength, and the strength of the knight has also recovered, and even if the old man reacts, it will be too late! If he misses tonight, he'll never have a chance to take the fortress again! ”
