Chapter 1488: Alan in a desperate situation
"As a disciple of the Great Magister, I really have a gaffe!" Arantis Nachis clutched the wound on his left shoulder, staring at the enemy in front of him, smiling bitterly.
"Speaking of which, how much time has it been since I've been in a relationship with anyone? Every day, apart from step-by-step basic meditation training and familiarization with spells, I don't seem to have done anything at all under the practice of a magician. Hehe...... Sure enough, the teacher was right. I am destined to be impossible to become something extraordinary in this life, and I still count on Andrel's good in this regard. β
Originally, under the instructions of Admiral Agrol, Alain would be ready to leave first, rushing from the small road to the General Directorate of Shipping. He quickly left the central square and drove along the alleyways in the middle of the block to the port with the magic "speed of the leopard", but was intercepted on the spot after only a few minutes.
Since the first to attack is a row of steel crossbow arrows with demon-breaking attributes, this kind of thing is not low-powered, and it is better than concealment - although the movement is not small, but it is not as colorful and crackling sound and light effects as magic - we all know that the Demon Breaking Crossbow developed by the Apsi Demon Dao Chamber of Commerce has always been one of the best weapons used to deal with battle mages by the special elite forces of the Federation composed of ordinary people. For ordinary means of defense, such as body protection, stone skin, isolation stance, magic shield, etc., they all have the destructive power to destroy with one blow. If it weren't for that kind of top-level master-level spellcaster, whose ability was cultivated to the Transformation Realm, he would be able to launch a more powerful defensive spell with a turn of mind, and if he was attacked by this kind of multi-level Demon Breaking Crossbow, there was a chance that he would suffer a big loss.
What's more, the seven or eight crossbow arrows hit his head directly, and it seems that the enemy is not only ready to wound and capture himself, but is clearly a greeting to take his own life.
Hey, when did this kind of passer-by villain who didn't show his face be so decisive?
Alain's hard power is really not good, for a magician of his age, it can only be regarded as excellent at an ordinary level. Trying your best is probably to be able to go head-to-head with an elite necromancer who hasn't yet become a lich, or an ordinary adult succubus. Theoretically, it was really impossible for him to escape from the Ascension.
However, a second before the first crossbow bolt hit him, a colorful rainbow halo suddenly bloomed around him. The rainbow light flowed, and it was fleeting, but the row of crossbow arrows had been bounced off and fell to the ground one after another.
"Rainbow Shield?" Not only the attackers, but also Alain himself was taken aback. He could use this high-ring defensive spell, but it would take him a while to chant it, and he didn't have the idea of it at all.
But now is not the time to think about what you have. Ran finally figured out his staff and judged the direction of the enemy based on the direction of the arrow. He first blasted a glare technique in that direction, which could deprive the other party of his vision and also hide his whereabouts.
Then, the Spider Technique squeezed into the dark alley, the Concussion Technique disrupted the rhythm of the opponent's attack, and the Stinky Cloud Technique forced the enemy out of the shadows, smashing down two enemies with a steel fist that appeared out of thin air, and then using the magic arrow to knock down four enemies in a row. Everything is as refined and accurate as a textbook, meticulous, and of course, there are no tricks and explosions.
Alan originally wanted to confirm the identity and life and death of these sneak attackers, but he only hesitated for a moment and quickly evacuated. He didn't feel a new enemy approaching, but if the other party really wanted to intercept him, a stronger enemy would definitely arrive, and he would definitely not be able to match him.
Alain is indeed not a genius spellcaster, but he can probably be regarded as a genius reserve politician, and his natural political sensitivity allows him to be sure that the other party is coming for his own life. In this way, the explosion that leveled the entire Azure Palace would not be as simple as it seemed.
ββ¦β¦ Gate valve pie? Well, this, hey, I can't be so cranky without proof. Anyway, they shouldn't be so mad, right? Probably ......" That's the first thing that came to his mind, but then he shook his head. Of course, Alain is not afraid to estimate the shamelessness and despicability of his political enemies with the greatest malice, but it is inconceivable to be so sick that the blue palace, the symbol of the Union, is booming.
It can only be said that conscience does limit his imagination!
"Anyway, go and inform the teacher first...... No, he'll guess that soon. I still have to rush to the Shipping Division."
Mr. Arantis Nahis, an excellent federal official with a little bit of conscience and moral bottom line, a first-class politician in the future, and now a third-rate second-rate sword mage, certainly didn't think about facing the killers who followed. He unfurled his veiling stance, completely obscuring all his voice and breath, and burrowed into the most inconspicuous alleyway next to him, and then put on a ring that Rassell had given himβwith a constant prophetic magic on it, detecting hostility.
Of course, it was only at this time that Alan realized that the source of the rainbow shield should be the amulet hanging on the inner lining of his coat. It was a wedding gift from Lu Xi to himself, saying that he made it himself, of course, using some special materials, but it was not so valuable that people did not dare to accept it. After the groom who received the gift put it on, he felt that it had the effect of warming the spirit and refreshing his mind, so he kept wearing it on his body, but he never thought that such a high-ring defense spell would be solidified on it, and it was actually self-disciplined. For this alone, the price of this amulet would be more than 2,000 meters.
"I really owe a lot of favors!" Alain picked up the amulet and examined it, and found that he couldn't understand the intricate and mysterious patterns on it, not even whether they were magical structures or simple decorations.
"So big the gap! Well, that's what geniuses and mortals are, didn't I already know that? Alain smiled bitterly and clenched his talisman. Then, in this way, he turned on the shield stance and the evil detection on the other, putting his perception and alertness to the extreme, while carefully shuttling through the dark passages, slowly approaching the destination.
Alan guessed that no matter who the other party was, why he wanted to take his life, he must be unsightly. As long as you can get to the door of the shipping department openly, you should be safe.
This is about Alain's most supernatural actual combat after he obtained the mage qualification certificate, right? In the ten-hour hiding and pursuit battle, he was completely uncaught up by the other party, and even attacked and killed two more enemies. However, after all, he is just an ordinary person, unlike a certain protagonist with a group of hangers on his body, as long as he doesn't push the boss to consume red and blue, he has not automatically returned quickly, and his physical and mental strength has a limit after all. Eventually, his seclusion was finally relaxed, and he was finally caught by his captors. γ
Once spotted once, it's impossible to hide anymore. So, just a few minutes later, multiple enemies arrived one after another. Alain resisted as he fled, but he was still badly wounded and cornered with no way to escape.
"Tsk, I knew I was going to go down the drain. Although it's more likely to starve to death in it......"
Any metropolis has sewers, and the sewer network of any metropolis will be N times more complex than a beehive maze, otherwise why hide rats and turtles walking upright?
"Hey, I should blame myself for not practicing well before, right? If Lu Xi had half of it, no, even if it was a third of his ability, I wouldn't hide my head and tail like this, right? With a straight suddenness, maybe you can rush back to the hall for lunch. β
With his temperament of having to examine himself three times a day, he probably has to write today's lesson on the first page of the Japanese. However, this must be if he can escape.
Now, there were four enemies in front of him, and three of them fanned out and slowly pressed up, blocking themselves in a dead end - the caster would theoretically not have a dead end, through the wall. The other person was standing on the second-floor windowsill of the house directly opposite, presumably blocking his escape from the top. When they were chasing just now, it seemed that they had drilled directly out of the shadows of houses, alleys, debris, and lights, and the move that injured them was also a kind of fluctuating qi blade that could not catch traces. These are clearly spellcaster's methods, or at least can be seen as spell-like abilities.
However, it is said that it is a spellcaster, but none of these enemies in front of him have the appearance of a spellcaster. Each of them wore gray cloaks, covering their heads and faces, covering their hands and legs, and moving like a cloud of dirty dust, if they were in the wilderness, even if they were discovered, they would subconsciously ignore it.
Many wanderers in the countryside are equipped with this gray cloak that will not look dirty for many years. Although they claim to be a member of the adventurer's strength, they have no fixed place to live in the open air, and often use the corpses and belongings left by adventurers, pedestrians and monsters, and occasionally carefully pick up a leak, well, even if the enemy they encounter is a few goblins, they will choose to flee Ah no, strategic transfer, in short, live like a scavenger.
Even the most subtle casters have the pride and reserve of their casters. Check out the groups of adventurers and mercenaries who frequented Blackman City and Neosfia. Even in the lowest level of the adventurer squad, the caster must be the cleanest and most glamorous on the team.
However, this group of adventurers dressed up like this. Moreover, this group of guys has not said a word at all from outcropping, pursuing, attacking, and now preparing for a siege. They didn't seem to be human at all, and their breath was grim and cold, like daggers smeared with poison.
"I'm the Director of National Shipping, the Alliance's three-star magician, Arantis Nahis! Do you know what it is to dare to attack me in Elichar? β
If the other party is really a thug sent by the gate valve, he will sneer a few times. But in fact, they didn't even react like this, and they were still approaching step by step, watching themselves intently. Any attempt to escape or fight back may be within the expectations of the other party.
"You're all people with great skills, and you should have a great future. Under the sun, it was admired and cheered by the people, and it became famous and famous in the annals of history! But why did he deprave himself and do such a thing? β
The four of them still didn't say a word.
Well, coercion and inducement don't work. Where is this magician, it is clearly a group of assassins who have been completely brainwashed and killed like chopping vegetables!
"I'm not a good spellcaster! In this case, do you expect to rely on lip service rather than your own strength? Alain smiled bitterly, pressing one hand against the wall behind him, and pinching the staff with the other.
The fire elemental condensed in front of him and turned into fire in front of the enemies, and the walls against which his palms were pressed began to crumble and crumble, quickly turning from hard stone to soft mud, forming a passable cavern.
The magic barrier formed by the wall of fire is still quite strong, and ordinary people can't break through it by physical means at all. The "wall piercing technique" that works behind it is certainly not a high-level spatial magic, but just a use of metamorphosis magic - the caster can turn paper into steel, and of course rock into mud. That being said, it can be activated without chanting a mantra, and it works so quickly, which is not something that ordinary mages do, at least it is a very basic test.
All in all, using two types of magic at the same time is quite extraordinary.
As long as he waited until the hole in the wall behind him widened enough for him to enter, he could escape with the shapeshifting flash...... There is no way, although the speed of the transformation flash is fast, as if teleporting, but in fact, the principle of action is still physical, and I am afraid that I will suffer worse if I hit the wall than if I ran into it. Escape that doesn't involve the laws of space, no, it's not good to use magic for transfer.
However, he suddenly felt that the air around him was cold, as if a cold current suddenly swept through with the winter sun, and the wall of fire in front of him was instantly extinguished. The stone walls that had been "dissolved" behind him were also re-solidified, and even harder than before.
ββ¦β¦ Tsk, it's not that easy! Alain let out a low spit, and he hurriedly raised his staff, sending a ripple shock directly into the gap where the wall of fire was extinguished.
βduangοΌβ The impact spell formed by the air blast slammed into a dark shadow, and there was a dull sound of heavy objects crashing. A gray cloak at the head seemed to have been hit head-on by a carriage, and flew back upside down on the spot.
However, the other two gray cloaks had already crossed the cordon, and with a wave of the sleeve of the robe hidden under the cloak, the invisible sword of shadow had already torn open Alain's shirt, and then there was a "poof" sound as if the sword had slashed against the shield.
This is the steel skin that Alain has filled with on a self-discipline amulet that he carried, which could have been automatically released four times, but it had been used up in the process of escaping for his life today. Immediately afterward, he only felt a sharp pain below his knee, but it was another gray cloak that had already broken through his calf with magic, and he was afraid that even his facial bone had been shattered.
Alain didn't even have time to scream, his body had fallen uncontrollably and it was difficult to get up. Then, I saw that the last gray cloak, the one guarding the second floor, had leapt into the air. He made a fierce noise, and threw himself on top of his head like an ugly and cruel vulture.
"Is this the end of my Arantis?" It is said that before death, the speed of the transition in the mind is many times faster than before, and at this moment, Arantis probably entered such a state.
"I'm sorry, Teacher, Andrel, Grandpa, and everyone...... I'm sorry, Leah...... I'm sorry, Lu Xi. However, with you, I don't have to worry about no one being able to avenge me! β
However, at the moment when Alain closed his eyes and waited for death, the third "bang" sound of this time sounded again. The gray cloak that had already come in the air, but at this moment, it was like a sparrow hit by a racket, and it changed direction on the spot, directly hitting the wall on the second floor next to it, and then slid to the ground like a ball of egg liquid.
