Chapter 195: Lightning Trap 1
High in the sky, a bone dragon was flying rapidly, and beside the bone dragon, multiple lightning bolts appeared from time to time, hitting the bone dragon.
In this state, Rhodes couldn't even know where the court mage had attacked him, and he was still in the territory of Eli, so Rhodes just wanted to rely on this way to quickly return to Diya.
As for counterattacking the court mages who were chasing him, Rhodes had no such idea for the time being. Due to the location in enemy territory and the uncertainty of the number of enemies, it is obviously extremely disadvantageous for Rhodes to rush into a counterattack when the situation is still unclear.
At this time, the flying bone dragon, as if sensing something, suddenly slowed down violently, and finally hovered in the sky.
In the process of the bone dragon's emergency stop, Lal was unstable again, but fortunately, Rhodes caught Lal in time and did not let Lal fall from the sky.
Seeing this happening, Rhodes set his eyes on the position where the bone dragon was about to pass.
Rhodes found that there was already a large amount of lightning lurking in the sky not far ahead. Dense lightning formed a large power grid, almost filling most of the air in the air.
In this state, even Rhodes can feel a powerful threat from the power grid in front of him. If it hadn't been for the bone dragon's dodge beforehand, it would have undoubtedly crashed headlong into this power grid at this moment.
Realizing this, Rhodes suddenly understood that it was in this way that the court mage wanted to force himself from the sky to the ground.
In the previous attack, Rhodes was still puzzled, according to the court mage's spell-casting ability, it was impossible to just harass himself with thunderbolt lightning, but Rhodes didn't think much about it at that time, until he saw these power grids in front of him, Rod didn't understand the court mage's plan.
At first, Rhodes only regarded this as a restriction on the court mage's long-range spell casting, and if it weren't for this restriction, then the court mage's approach was obviously meaningless. Even the paralyzing effect of the thunderbolt was only painless for the bone dragon.
It wasn't until Rhodes discovered the power grids that existed around him that he realized what the court mage was thinking. The court mage's move of casting a thunderbolt lightning was precisely to cover up the mana fluctuations of the power grid he had planted.
The court mage also knew in his heart that if he relied on low-level spells alone, he could only inflict extremely low damage to the bone dragon, and he could not stop the bone dragon from flying at all. In the current situation, using low-level spells is undoubtedly a waste of one's own mana.
The moment he saw the appearance of the power grid, Rhodes recalled that this kind of power grid should belong to the third-order magic [Lightning Trap], which was specifically aimed at the creatures in the sky.
Due to the nature of this magic, it takes a lot of time to prepare, and in this regard, it is obviously slightly inferior to other trap spells.
However, [Lightning Trap] also has its own advantages, that is, in the same space, this magic can be stacked with each other, and even fill the entire area, and when one power grid is triggered, the surrounding power grid will be triggered in a chain.
Due to the extremely wide range in the sky, if you simply cast this spell once, for flying creatures, they only need to change the altitude of their flight, and they can well avoid the range shrouded by the [Lightning Trap] spell.
However, under the superposition of [Lightning Trap], the entire area in the sky will be covered with this spell, and in this case, it can effectively reach the level of forbidden space.
At this time, the bone dragon had stopped flying forward, and in the face of this large power grid, even the bone dragon also felt a trace of threat.
Unlike spells that deal direct damage, trap-type spells are extremely ineffective because they are easily visible to enemies. In this case, the damage of trap-type spells is extremely high, and this spell is cast by a court mage, even a bone dragon is reluctant to pass directly through this power grid.
If Rhodes used the spirit imprint to control the bone dragon, he would naturally be able to force it through this power grid, but other creatures on the bone dragon would also suffer a lot of damage.
Once hit by this spell, Rhodes will be completely incapable of fighting back against the court mage for the rest of his journey.
What Rhodes didn't expect was that at this level, the court mage would still be able to respond quickly.
Naturally, Rod would not let the bone dragon pass directly through the power grid in front of him, and under Rode's signal, the bone dragon quickly pulled up to the position above the sky, and did not care about the surrounding power grids.
Rhodes knew that no matter how powerful the court mage was, he couldn't seal off the entire sky, and in this situation, as long as the bone dragon flew quickly upwards, he would be able to find a position that was not shrouded in the power grid.
In Rod's memory, even in the wars between the legions, few mages were able to arrange lightning traps that enveloped the entire area, and to this extent, it was basically considered a forbidden space.
So Rhodes' idea was to find a suitable way out of the sky and quickly cross the grid.
As Rod continued to check, Rod was also keenly aware of the anomaly.
No matter how the bone dragon flew upwards, the grid still existed, and there was no access as Rod had intended.
Rod realized that the court mage must have used some treasure, which greatly enhanced the effect of the spell cast, and in the current situation, Rod had no good way to deal with it for a while.
Rhodes knew that trap-type spells could last for a long time, and if he wanted to wait in the air for the power grid to slowly disappear, then the court mages in the rear would inevitably catch up.
Realizing this, at Rhodes' motion, the bone dragon quickly flew downward, trying to find the end below the power grid.
The height of the bone dragon is getting lower and lower, but the end of the power grid never appears, and just when Rod thought that the height was still not enough, and wanted to continue flying downward, his eyes observed a figure on the ground.
What appeared in Rod's eyes was the court mage who was pursuing.
The court mage did not intend to hide his figure, but looked directly in the direction of Rhodes.
In this state, due to the improvement of Rod's overall attributes, the court mage looked at his gaze, and naturally felt it for the first time.
After paying the price of another treasure, the court mage arrived here in a short time.
At this time, looking at the bone dragon that was rushing down from the sky, the court mage didn't say a word, just raised his hand.
The next moment, a strong sense of crisis emerged in Rhodes's heart.
