Chapter 40: Magical Countermeasures
The polar night spreads again, and darkness covers the sky.
After the sonic boom wears off, the vampires come running.
Robin didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly placed his right hand on his chest and chanted the incantation in his mouth.
Even without the sonic boom, at least his magic missile could provide light to Heloise.
But...... The magic array in his hand only flickered a faint light and quickly extinguished.
Robin's heart pounded.
No way, he clearly remembered that his spell was not mispronounced, after all, after so many days, he also had a lot of experience in the release of magic missiles, and he had successfully shortened the cast time from 5 seconds to 3 seconds before.
What's going on?
A haze spread through his heart.
To test his guesses, he used the magic missile again.
Crackling.
The spark rang out for a split second and then went out.
It's faster than ever.
The next time, he couldn't even release the faint spark of magic.
This feeling is unusually depressing.
It was as if there was some terrible aura of magic around him.
Airplanes......
A terrifying flash of lightning flashed through Robin's brain.
At this moment, he finally understood what [conditioning] meant.
He was unable to release the magic missile, and the previous sonic boom effect disappeared in an instant.
This is not a flame extinguished by the wind, but in the middle of the sea, there is no chance to burn.
In the boundless darkness, a pair of red pupils stared at him coldly.
β¦β¦
Robin fell into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold.
Darkness is accompanied by despair, like a tidal tide that drowns it.
The tide has reversed again.
Even more so than before.
Robin's heart beat with every fierce battle in his ears, and every dull snort from Heloise in pain.
The strings in his brain were infinitely tight, and he didn't know if Heloise would fall in the next second.
But he knew that as night was approaching, as death had fallen, the outcome was predestined and could not be changedβthat moment, the moment when Heroise fell, when they were slaughtered by the vampires, was infinitely closer.
And the truth is always more cruel than imagined.
The vampires' attacks are becoming more and more intense, and the process is speeding up.
The dawn of victory disappears into darkness, and the arrow of fate of death is coming.
Heloise's wheezing grew heavier and heavier, listening to Robin's ears like a broken window, the last wail in the cold wind.
However, even now, if she is willing, as long as she leaves these two burdens behind, she will definitely be able to fight her way out of the siege and save her life.
Yes, Robin has no doubt about it.
Now, the strongest man of the Itney Priest's Guard didn't dare to move a single inch for the sake of him and Gael.
Even if in a way it was for her own dreams.
But...... Is it really worth it to take your life?
Robin looked up, staring at the darkness.
That vampire loli mage.
Damn it.
What a terrible ability it was to nullify everything he did.
He didn't dare to guarantee how much life he still had to extract magic that would not be countered by the other party.
The frequent use of forbidden spells for several days had excessively consumed his life force, the churning sensation in his abdomen had not yet dissipated, the blood in the corners of his mouth had not dried, and his mouth and nose were full of fishy sweet taste......
Robin's fingers trembled, and the sound in his ears became muffled.
The heartbeat and breath were infinitely amplified, and everything in front of me became dreamlike.
Heloise's heavy voice rang in his ears, pricking his nerves intensely.
It's the limit......
What a damn ......
What else, what else could turn the tide of the war?
At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Robin's brain, and he remembered that when the mage's level was increased before, the system gave him a chance to draw a lottery.
Searching with spells is a bit of luck anyway, so why not try that?
βββββββββββββββββββ
Robin turned up the lottery interface, and then a blue streak appeared in his brain, spreading like a tidal wave and filling the entire world.
Here, there is no darkness.
An unknown treasure chest, with a dazzling magical light, presented in front of him.
Here, in his brain, in the system of magicians, the whole world belongs to him alone.
"System." Robin found that he didn't need to speak, as long as he used his mind, he could communicate with the system perfectly.
"Yes, master."
"I'm going to use the sweepstakes."
"Okay master, you have a chance to draw, please decide whether to use it or not."
The voice of the cold machine entered his brain.
Robin took a deep breath and felt his whole body cold.
And the outside world, including the battles around it, is isolated from darkness.
His heart was beating wildly.
True warriors dare to move forward, and only cowards will stop and be afraid.
A smile tugged at the corner of Robin's mouth, and no matter what, it was the only chance in front of them.
"Sure."
At this moment, with his order, the treasure chest full of magical light in front of him opened outward.
A pillar of golden light rose into the sky.
Robin's eyes were closed, and he watched coldly in his brain at what was happening.
Until the light dissipated, and a golden light fell into his hand.
"Congratulations to the master, you have drawn the Supreme Forbidden Spell [God's Forbidden Decree, Sacrifice, Resurrection]: You can resurrect anyone, even a dead hero, at the cost of sacrificing a life of the same level. Note: Can only be used once. Use with caution. β
Congratulations?
An unconscious smile appeared on the corner of Robin's mouth, and the whole person staggered back a step, until he barely managed to stabilize himself until he held on to the hard bronze tablet behind him.
Sacrificing one life in exchange for another, such a forbidden spell did not have the slightest effect on their current predicament.
Not to mention whether he can reach the level of a hero, even if Heloise is killed by the vampires, it will not help him to resurrect her.
Since the other party can kill Heloise once, it is enough to kill her a second time.
The ending is already predestined and cannot be changed.
Robin leaned against the bronze seat behind him with a dead face, only to feel a chill all over.
The darkness obscured the sky, and there was not a glimmer of light, accompanied only by the sound of the wind and the white barking at his feet.
and deep despair.
"Damn it!" He threw a punch backwards on the bronze seat.
"Grass!" Robin lowered his head in frustration.
It was then that his eyes suddenly lit up.
Robin's fingers touched the notch on the bronze base, which was a text.
Even in the dark, he clearly remembered the epitaph that Gale read at that time-
"If you are lost in the night, then look at me, and I will do my best to navigate you.
If you lack strength in your thirst for freedom, then call to me, and I will fight for you with my life.
If you can't feel the warmth in the endless cold, then please hug me, and I will burn everything I have for you.
If you forget your dreams in your troubles, then please entrust me, and I will spend the rest of my life watching over you.
- Watcher - Kaye Flynn.
