Chapter 23: The Death of Mondo
Mirror Spell is one of the spells that mages must practice, and it is a cross spell of Transfiguration and Illusion, which can help mages create several (usually no more than three) illusions that look exactly like themselves - and because these illusions can also cast spells, the importance of this spell can be referenced to the doppelganger technique of a certain ninja world.
For mages, whether looking for cover, all-out output, assisted casting, or waiting for an opportunity to retreat, mirroring is the first choice.
Although the dumb mirror image looks fake, you can pretend to be dumb yourself, so that the enemy can't tell who is real and who is fake!
Even if you can only hold off the enemy for a moment, it's a precious opportunity for a mage!
Of course, Rod's purpose in opening the mirror image this time was not to seek cover, but to help him with secondary spellcasting.
Rhodes needs a spell powerful enough to kill the tongue-sticking guy in front of him in one blow!
The three Rhodes had a clear division of labor, one started to sketch a spell enhancement circle on the spot, one started to rub a bigger flame explosion on the spot, and the third used different spells to constantly harass Mondo so that this guy wouldn't interfere with the first two.
As a result, Mondo was confined in place for a long time by various ice rings and ice pick blizzards - when the flames of the flame spear technique were completely extinguished in the ice and snow, he was able to pick up the virus butcher knife and move forward again.
At this time, Rod's spell had also been completed.
A terrifying fireball with a diameter of more than two meters appeared in front of Rhodes, and was then launched in a "push" situation.
The fireball doesn't roll fast.
If the opponent was a normal person, he would definitely just dodge it - but Mondo was obviously not a normal person.
Faced with a huge fireball rolling in, Mondo decisively chose to step forward!
"Mondoβ"
The next moment, Mondo was completely overwhelmed by this fireball.
Mondo's whole body was encased in a huge fireball, which rolled farther and farther down the street.
I don't know if it was a roar of excitement or pain sent out a fireball, but as Rhodes snapped his fingers, everything finally returned to calm after the fireball exploded completely.
The panting thugs saw only Rhodes' snapping fingers and exploding fireballs, while Mondo was completely reduced to ashes with a final roar.
Seeing this scene, the thugs were dumbfounded.
They saw Mondo's terrifying defensive and resilient power. But such a terrible monster was blown up under Rhodes' hands, and there was not even scum left......
Terrible, especially terrible!
Although Mondo was sucked around by Ike and spent a lot of physical strength (in fact, it wasn't, this was just a trick), but the strength of Rod who made the final decision was unimaginably terrifying!
Be sure to tell the boss about all this!
Unconsciously, Rhodes pretended to be a big man, feeling refreshed, and the plan was going smoothly, and the neurotic Mondo had completely disappeared, which was so good!
It's a pity that the spell casting cost just now is a bit high, and Rhodes has a rare feeling of lack of mana, so the top priority now is to return to the Violet Dream as soon as possible, and then rub himself a few loaves of bread and get a few cups of magic spring water......
However, just as Rhodes was about to leave, from the ashes of Mondo's "corpse", Rhodes found a strange metal ring.
You know, the temperature of Rhodes' spell is enough to melt steel and iron, and the metal ring that can be left behind at this temperature is definitely a good thing!
Thinking that mosquito legs are also meat, and if they are sold, they are worth a lot, Rhodes bent down and picked up the ring, and the line on it made him shudder.
"Special Subject 4397"
This ring is a bit informative.
If it weren't for Mondo's accidental ingestion, it is very likely that the birth of this Zuan madman was not an absolute accident.
And if you think about it deeply, this incident seems even more creepy.
Subject 4397, that is, there are more than 4,000 subjects similar to him in front of him?
And considering that Mondo's trajectory after the age of three can be traced, it means that Mondo was still a baby when he underwent this experiment.
A secret experiment using more than 4,000 babies as materials......
Rod felt that Zaun was even more terrifying than he thought.
So Rod silently put away the strange ring, and then set out on the road back to the tavern as if nothing had happened.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Violet Dream, the other four guys who opened the black have all returned.
When Rhodes returned to Room One, he saw that Giggs, who was much relieved, Jinx, who was still immersed in excitement, Zack, who appeared after two baths, and Ike who was thoughtful, were all ready.
"Overall, our first phase was a complete success!"
After looking around for a week, Rhodes gave a brief summary of the first phase of the entire operation.
"Urgart has been fished out of the hook, and the group of alchemy barons will not know what he means - and the hapless Takeda, after losing his alchemy factory, will never let anyone else point their knives at him, I believe that this guy who is openly an Ionian will soon show his feet."
Giggs was confused, Jinx was still immersed in excitement, Zach kept nodding, and Ike tilted his head and continued to put on a thoughtful look.
"This matter still needs to ferment for a while, although Zu An's tandem speed is not comparable to those Picheng guys, but if we want these extremely selfish alchemy barons to reach a perfect consensus, things will definitely not be much faster, so we should still have a few days to prepare for the next stage - the following assignment task."
"Zach, continue to monitor Takeda Saito and the envoys he sent, and I don't ask you to find out what the negotiations are about, but at least confirm who is negotiating with each one."
"Ike, the organization of the Zuan Naughty Boy, there may have been some turmoil recently, you have to avoid damage - more importantly, this should be done in the shadows, so that no one can know what we know, so I suggest you sell your assets and put on a show of raising money for me to hide from others - of course, in order to do the whole thing, please pay me 10,000 gold hex."
"Giggs, make more directional explosive gels, the raw materials have quite a few in my basement, don't show your head lately."
"Well, Jinx, go pour me a glass of water - put some tranquilizers in it, I need a rest."
ββββββββ
The bombing of the alchemy factory means that Takeda's financial resources will receive serious losses, and coincidentally, he was knocked out a large sum of money by Rhodes, and the two are combined, the current Takeda Saito is actually very weak, and a weak alchemy baron is very dangerous, if Takeda Saito doesn't want other alchemy barons to fight his own ideas, then he can only find a better target first.
The Tranquility Flower is an herb unilaterally named by Rhodes, whose scientific name is Turnip, is a specialty of Loklonde, and is usually eaten from the rhizome, but Rhodes likes the taste of its leaves, like the Tranquility Flower of Azeroth.
