Chapter 99: The Cave of Bones (VIII)
The magic missile released by Gloridon with the Charged Ring caused the casting interference caused by the Crow Sparrow to the Ghost Mage to continue for a while. The old thief is actually a lot slower than when he was younger, but the combat experience he has accumulated over half a lifetime of adventure has made him very proficient in timing his actions in battle.
He wasn't a mage, but he knew himself better than many of the less mature low-level mages.
The Cavern of Bones has a total level of 20 Ghost Mage bosses, but its Mage Level doesn't make up much of its messy level 10 formal class structure. Maybe level 5? Or level 6? It's possible, but it will never be level 7, as a mage or warlock with Castaño's official profession level 7 will be able to cast a 4-ring spell.
The troll witch doctor in the depths of the sewers area of Twilight City, Govdor, was actually a warlock with a total level of 17, but it was a pity that the warlock's spell selection was too narrow, resulting in an empty level and an elite creature template, and it couldn't even cast the classic defensive combination of "Mirror Shadow" and "Stone Skin", which is generally applicable to low-level spellcasters, and was cut into 800 experience points by Urs, who was present at the time.
Regarding the copy of the Cave of Bones, Urs doesn't know exactly what the class structure of this ghost mage boss looks like, but it is certain that it did have three sub-roles of warrior, thief and bard during its lifetime, and the spell casting skills are not a bubble except for the speed enhancement brought to it by the boss-level template, but it is not very skilled, only a decent level.
Thea's second "middle healing technique" is now prayed for. The adventurers' successive spell distractions prevented the ghostly mage floating in mid-air from casting his second "manipulating corpse", and was once again enveloped in the blazing and hot white light that had been on fire for it not long ago.
The intense positive energy of magic sawed at its unknotted and twisted negative energy soul like a red-hot steel knife, and this time it screamed in pain, and the sharpness of the sound was not inferior to the legendary 9-ring spell "Banshee's Howl" except that it had no magical effect.
The large skeletal monsters it ordered to attack the crowd were also overturned or scattered one by one by the young man's greatsword, the fist of the orc monk, and the warhammer of the dwarven warrior due to the timely aid of Urs.
These large skeletons are elite creatures that reward 550 XP per click.
Pay attention to the four system prompts in your mind that tell you that your experience points are rising, and Urs is happy, but he doesn't plan to let the ghost mage boss in mid-air "brush" a few more bones like this with the idea of death.
It's clear that mages don't just summon skeletons. Necromantic mages are the best at their own faction's spells, but they can also use other spells such as "spider webs", "sleep", and "stinky clouds" in addition to the spells of the opposing school...... and so on.
No matter how bad it is, there is also a "exhaustion ray" known as a low-level warrior killer in the spell list of this school of necromancy, which can directly cause kitchen knife professionals to fall into a disadvantageous state of exhaustion or even worse exhaustion. If a heavily armored warrior with a heavy load is unlucky, it is not impossible that he will be crushed to the ground by the armor on his body after receiving this spell.
Therefore, deliberately leaving the caster's enemy a chance, it is purely because he thinks that his own life is big.
The holy white light quickly sent the positive energy of the magical nature into the negative energy of the ghost mage. This boss monster with a total level of 20 feels like its nose is going to be crooked, if anyone can see the outline of its face's features like smoke and pus.
Thea's positive energy magic did a terrible amount of damage to it. The ghost mage couldn't see through the strange mystery hidden in the two fluffy white wolf ears on the priest girl's silver hair, but it knew that the battle could not continue at this pace.
Mages must be constantly on the mind, anticipating the outcome of the battle at all times, and flexibly casting the spells at hand to deal with potential situations.
The unknown ghost mage boss endured the residual pain left in his body by the priest's magic, and after a quick and brief thought, he decided that with the end of Xia's spell casting, the jay's spell would continue to interfere with his spell casting, and a little time after that might be filled by the young man's adventure team with some more methods, or it might be a rare time to get a second spell casting opportunity that he had been waiting for since the outbreak of this battle.
It knew it had to be cautious about this opportunity, and believed that it should cast fast enough, as long as it wasn't interfered with by further casting.
So what spells are you going to cast later?
Manipulating the dead? No, that didn't make sense anymore, because it found that the large skeletons it had summoned with its evil magic couldn't pose enough of a threat to the lives of the adventurers, at least not until they had piled up to a certain level.
So what about the other spells? Field-controlled spells, which it has mastered and memorized in today's spell slots, but Thea's presence as a priest has caused the magical effect of "resisting fear" to most likely instill the power of courage into the people it faces, so that the fear spell that can have a range of fear effect can no longer be considered a valid option.
After ruling out the fear of belonging to the necromantic spell school, it did not dare to guarantee that the other spells it mastered would pass the immunity resistance of most of the people in the Thorn Squad at once, thus turning it around its current disadvantage in one fell swoop.
The ghost mage shook his fingers worriedly, and finally made his own decision, and then saw that the black-robed Miss Poet had indeed raised her hand and struck her at her.
The significance of the Raven's spell in this battle is to indirectly assist Thea in casting magic by interfering with the enemy's spell casting.
The black-robed Miss Poet raised her hand to unleash the spell, and the scimitar in her other hand was already back in the sheath at her waist, holding the +1 enchanted return-throwing dagger before.
She was ready to use the throwing dagger to fill the void in the magic missile ring that Gloriden had just used.
However, the ghost mage boss suspended in mid-air seemed to be out of the way this time - it simply stopped trying to cast spells this time, and ate the damage of the magic missile head-on, and then suddenly accelerated its floating movement speed, and dived down with its head aimed at the wolf-eared girl holding the priest's emblem between her fingers, and her translucent right hand stretched out forward, instantly transforming into a misty hideous claw.
This is a sorcery-like ability that it acquires after becoming a ghost in the cavern, and it can drain the life energy of living creatures through virtual contact attacks, causing the living it touches in this way to take at least 2 additional negative levels while taking damage from both negative energy and cold, and causing it to drain 5 temporary health for each negative level it inflicts, unless the potential victim it targets is immune to "drain".
The Ghost Mage Boss, who has been choked by the adventurers, is determined to take a desperate gamble and try to kill Thea, who is the biggest threat to him, or make her temporarily lose some of her priest class level, so as to weaken her magic power.
Although the priest's "anti-death barrier" can resist energy drawing, it is a 4-ring magic technique.
It bets that Thea hasn't gained the ability to cast the 4-ring magic yet!
However, Urs waited for it.
The black-haired young man was keenly aware of the ghost mage's intentions, and immediately moved his body to block the front of the wolf-eared priest girl, and the shield cloak draped behind his back shimmered at this moment-
