Chapter 77: A Strong Enemy (Part I)
"Shadow mage, it's really not very common these days!" the fire mage who was hiding in the shadows continued.
Dylan quickly determined the man's location from the direction of the voice, which was a raised boulder crawling with dry weeds that covered the boulder well, and the sound came from behind the boulder.
In the past few days, Dylan did notice a trace of abnormality, he always felt as if someone was staring at him, it was an extremely vague intuition, if it were not for the strength of his mental power, he would never have noticed it. He had tried to find the source of the aura before, but he had failed to find it after several attempts. And there was no abnormality for three days, so Dylan didn't pay attention to it.
But now it seems that this person has been hiding in the shadows and planning to take advantage of the two of them to relax their vigilance to launch a sudden attack, so that they can directly obtain a large amount of celestial star mica, and reap the benefits of the fisherman, without spending a lot of energy to deal with the mica snake in the swamp.
Due to the cover of "disappearing", Oscar could not see Dylan's specific location, but judging from the tacit understanding established between the two in the past few days, Oscar knew that Dylan would never go out of his casting range.
Dylan originally wanted to go around behind the boulder and catch the other party off guard, but if he did so, it would be beyond Oscar's magic coverage, and once the fight started, he would be one-on-one with the person who did not show up, and he would definitely be at a disadvantage, and even worry about his life. And if you make a loud reminder at this time, then your whereabouts will inevitably be exposed.
So, Dylan made the safest decision to stand near the boulder and wait for the enemy to take the initiative.
"Hehe, little guy, I know you can be invisible, but any magic is time-limited, and it requires a lot of mana, according to my observation of you in the past few days, you should be a fourth-level shadow mage, according to normal circumstances, you can only be invisible for ten minutes at most!
The man's voice came again.
Dylan's face couldn't help but sink, because what this guy said was indeed right, if he didn't move, then as long as the other party waited for the time limit of "disappearing" to pass, he would be in a passive state.
At that time, if Dylan casts the "vanishing" magic again, it will cause a large amount of mana in his body to be consumed, and once he fights, the time of engagement will be greatly shortened, and it will not be able to support him to complete a complete battle.
I didn't expect this guy hiding behind the stones to be so cautious, facing two opponents whose strength was completely lower than his own, he still didn't take the liberty of attacking, but chose the most secure war of attrition, consuming the magic power in Dylan's body.
In Dylan's guess, the other party was at least a sixth-level magician. Under normal circumstances, a sixth-level magician would not take each other seriously when facing a fifth-level and a fourth-level magician, and would definitely choose to fight quickly, but this fire-based magician was completely different, and he was even more cautious than a cunning fox.
Dylan was a little anxious because the time limit for his "vanishing" magic was passing little by little. He couldn't help but look back at Oscar, hoping that he would be able to connect with him and choose to take a few steps forward, just a few steps away.
saw that Oscar was looking down at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Just when Dylan was anxious, Oscar, who had been standing still, finally moved, only to see him recite a magic spell in his mouth, bless a "shield of holy light" around him, and then crouch down and slowly took a few steps forward.
Dylan was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't expect that the unreliable guy who only had money in his eyes before suddenly opened up at this time and knew that he was using his brain to think about problems.
The fire mage behind the boulder obviously realized that the situation was not good, and only heard the spell in his mouth sound, and the staff in his hand instantly revealed beyond the boulder, and a huge fireball formed in the blink of an eye, and then flew towards the direction where Oscar was!
"It's now!" Dylan roared, his body suddenly appeared, and the moment he appeared, he used the "flash" to suddenly come behind the boulder, and without hesitation, he shot five crossbow arrows in the direction of the boulder. Dylan knew very well that the vast majority of mages were not too strong, so even ordinary crossbow arrows could cause great damage to mages when shooting at close range.
And Dylan's body has not yet stood firm, so naturally he has no time to finish the spell, so using the lightness of the crossbow arrow is the best choice at this moment.
And Oscar was not slow to react, he knew that his "Holy Light Shield" could not completely resist that huge fireball, so at the moment when the fireball was about to hit him, he blessed himself with another "reduction" magic.
With a "bang", Oscar successfully resisted the huge fireball. If there was only one "shield of light" protection, Oscar would never be able to block this blow, but because of the effect of "reduction", the power of that fireball was reduced by at least half, so Oscar barely managed to be uninjured.
And Dylan was also surprised the moment he shot the crossbow arrow, because he found that the person behind the boulder had long since disappeared.
"What's going on?" Dylan was surprised as soon as he landed.
You know, it was a fire magician, and there was no auxiliary magic that increased movement speed in the fire magic, so it was obvious that the person must have used the magic scroll just now.
And the truth is indeed as Dylan guessed, the fire mage saw that he was in an extremely dangerous situation, so he crushed a "Wind" scroll in an instant and quickly fled into the distance.
"Two damn imps, you wasted one of my magic scrolls!" In the distance, an old man in a red robe yelled at Dylan and the others.
Dylan didn't reply at all, but didn't hesitate to use "Flash" to close the distance between him and the old man.
Because the old man knew very well the magician level of Dylan and the others, and he knew the range of the two of them well, he deliberately ran to a relatively far place, wanting to use the advantage of range to kill the Dylan two.
Seeing that Dylan's teleportation speed was fast, the old man was obviously taken aback, and he hurriedly raised his staff, and the spell in his mouth continued.
"The heat is surging!" the old man shouted angrily, and a scorching wave of hot air instantly formed in front of him, and then rushed towards Dylan who was in a hurry.
The heat wave was about five meters wide and three meters high, and all the wild grass burned in its path, and its power should not be underestimated.
Dylan wanted to dodge, but found that it was too late, and just when he thought he was about to be swept away by the heat wave, a golden barrier suddenly appeared around him, which was the "Shield of Light".
Dylan turned to look, and it was Oscar who arrived just in time!
