Chapter VIII
A cold chill suddenly enveloped the three people gathered around the fire, interrupting Hann's argument, and almost at the same time as the cold appeared, Old York had jumped up from the ground, and the hammer that had been placed on the side was already in his hand.
"It's an ice monster. Old York whispered to Rhaegar - who was casting a spell against the cold for a shivering Hann - "They're mercenaries recruited by the Hand of Death in the lower realms, damn it, how did they find us so quickly?"
"It's magic," Rhaegar said quickly, looking at the few figures with white mist emitting white mist, appearing at the entrance to the valley, "I can feel that there are mages hiding around us. ”
This sentence immediately caused old York's nervousness, but the Death Hand's former strongest warrior was not deterred, he raised his hammer and bravely faced the approaching ice monster.
These monsters from the lower realms have humanoid bodies made of ice, and any creature they come into contact with will turn into an ice sculpture in a matter of seconds, and they are always in groups, so they are undoubtedly more difficult to deal with, although they are slightly inferior in individual strength compared to man-eating spiders.
The first to approach was an ice monster that spewed a chill at Old York, and everything in its path was covered in frost wherever the white mist passed.
Old York nimbly dodged the oncoming cold, then raised his hammer high and slammed it into his opponent's head.
The humanoid ice sculptures didn't move quickly, and in the face of the menacing hammer, the ice monster only had time to raise its arms above its head, and the ice chips splashed everywhere, knocking off a large piece of ice from the monster's arm.
However, such a blow was obviously nothing for the ice monster that did not feel pain, and before Old York could launch the second round of strikes, the remaining three ice monsters arrived almost simultaneously, and three white cold qi shot at the opponent from different directions.
Old York showed no flexibility commensurate with his stout body, and the slow cold could not hurt him at all, and the former First Warrior of the Hand of Death roared into the middle of the Ice Monsters, flying hammers knocking down patches of ice from the slow-moving monsters.
This situation did not make Rhaegar optimistic about the situation of the battle, he knew that such damage was nothing to the Ice Monsters, unless he could hit their core hidden under the thick ice, and at most half an hour, the knocked out ice would be restored again.
However, he had no time to care about Old York's situation at the moment, and at the same time as the ice monster appeared, the sharp sense of the undead had already sensed the arrival of another powerful soul, and in the mortal world, except for the mage, no one could have such a powerful soul.
"Stand still. Rhaegar said to Hann that he believed that he would never attack this incapable teenager until the other party was sure to defeat him, which would only reveal his position.
Feeling the ubiquitous magical energy in the air, these active elves seemed to be particularly excited tonight, and in the night breeze, countless energy particles flew up and down happily, as if celebrating something.
Only Rhaegar knew that this was a precursor to the activation of some magic, and almost without thinking, the geist suddenly rushed behind a boulder not far away, and just as his body was just hidden behind the boulder, a meteor composed of flames flew over a distance of tens of meters with a long trailing tail and hit the stone.
The shockwave from the instant explosion of the flame meteor split hundreds of kilograms of boulder in an instant, and while Rhaeggar's figure was exposed behind the shattered boulder, two arrows of energy that shimmered with silver light had already flown in, reaching the geist's chest before they could blink their eyes.
A transparent magic shield appears in front of Rhaeggar, which, like the magic missile and another spell magic shield, has no fixed level requirements and can be used by mages of any rank, but as the magic increases, so does the power when used.
The impact of the energy arrow and the magic shield caused ripples, but it failed to break through the geist's defenses, but that didn't mean that Rhaegar had a chance to breathe, and in the next few seconds, at least a dozen energy arrows pierced the night sky and shot at Rhaeggar.
No one can dodge this arrow of light, which is made entirely of magical energy, and usually when people see the light between the energies, these terrible magics have already reached them. Although it is less powerful than any magic of the same level because its destructive power is limited to the part it hits, it is undoubtedly one of the last magic that warriors want to encounter, and even mages can only detect and prevent it in advance by relying on the abnormal fluctuations in magical energy before the energy arrow is formed.
Rhaegar desperately mobilized the energy contained in his soul to maintain the integrity of the magic shield, but fortunately, the attacks of these energy arrows could only follow a straight line, and he could protect himself as long as he held the front. Although the strong impact made him more and more difficult, if the opponent only used this method, he would not be in any danger for a short time, at least.
However, it is clear that the opponent will never have only these skills, these energy arrows are just a means to delay and harass the opponent. Rhaegar knew this well, and as he fended off the attack, he quickly surveyed his surroundings, hoping to find a place to hide before the more terrible blow came.
As his gaze swept over the vicinity of Hann, who was standing in place, he saw a cloud of red mist slowly drifting towards the young man, and under the cover of night, Hann, attracted by the completely brilliant magical attack in his mind, did not notice the danger coming.
"Blood spells. When this word from the memory of the mage who summoned him appeared in his consciousness, even the geist, who was known for his calmness and reason, could not help but feel the fear in his heart. This terrible magic is one of the spells that is strictly forbidden to be used by most mage organizations, and its horror lies in the fact that after the red mist containing magical energy enters the human body used as a medium, all the blood of the latter will turn into a highly poisonous gas in a matter of seconds, and it only takes a moment for these gases to rush out of the medium's body, covering an area within a kilometer radius, where even a dragon can die within a minute after inhaling a large amount of poisonous gas.
It was clear that the mage hiding in the shadows was only using magic to attract his attention, and that this blood spell was the real killer, and when that magic was done, there would be no living creatures in or around the valley except for the spellcaster and the ice monsters that didn't need to breathe.
