Chapter 44: Black Tentacles
I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, it couldn't be ......
Walking behind the instructor as soon as possible, I calculated the distance between the instructor, who was a level 12 mage, and the priest, who didn't know the exact level, was definitely higher than me......
In a head-on battle, a high-level spellcaster can easily solve a warrior of the same level, not to mention the gap in level, even if it is a complete commando, an average of 12 people at level 6, in the face of the powerful spells of the level 12 mage, it will only end up in ashes.
However, the spellcasting class is extremely vulnerable when left unguarded......
The instructor's mage robe may have additional magic, and in this case there is no room for messing up, and I have targeted his neck, where there is no visible protection. Of course, protective spells such as "Mage Armor" must have been added when fighting the High Elves...... Let a low-level mage who lacks strength use a dagger to stab casually, and I can't pierce the force field protection of the "mage armor", but I am a level 6 warrior with no weak strength, and I can break through that force field protection even with my bare hands, not to mention that I still have a magic long sword in my hand......
I feel fortunate that the instructor and the priest are in close proximity, and the person I am most afraid of is this religious fanatic.
Unlike arcane casters like mages, who need up to 8 hours of rest and then 1 hour to prepare spells, magicians only need to prepare spells through prayer and meditation for a specific hour each day, and Rose's priest prayed at midnight, when we slaughtered the village, and she stayed in the cave to have time to re-prepare the spell. Compared to a mage who has been through two battles in a row and has no time to prepare spells again, the priest will undoubtedly keep more spells after the battle.
I carefully figured out how to cut off the Instructor's neck while he was unsuspecting, and kill the Priest before the other Dark Elves could react, because the Priestess was wearing a Mithril Chainshirt under her robes, so I planned to cut off her head.
As for the other 6 commandos left after that, the only mage should have no spells left after two consecutive battles, so there is nothing to fear, and the 5 hand-to-hand combat team members are also scarred, if you want to solve them......
Depend on! Can't win!
Even if all goes well and I can take out the Instructor and the Priest in the raid, the mage team member has no spells left, and even though I am confident that I am better than the NPC and can deal with two, or even three melee fighters of the same level, at the same time, but at the same time I can deal with five team members who are good at cooperating...... I'm not arrogant enough to that extent.
But, I can't let my sister or Ah Yi fall into the hands of the dark elves! Not to mention what kind of means will be used against the captured High Elves with the old feud between the Dark Elves and the High Elves, I will never let my family be bullied, even if it is only in the game.
I tried not to think about the consequences of doing so, not about how slim the chances of success were, not about how Rose would turn the betrayer into an ugly arachnoid elf...... I clenched the hilt of my sword firmly.
However, a moment before I started, I couldn't help but glance into the middle of the assault crowd, but I saw a strange scene......
The commandos evacuated in a large circle, and there were more than a dozen black tentacles up to 3 meters long in the middle of the glade, which looked as if they had come out of the ground, stretching and squirming upwards, and they were randomly scattered in the clearing, and in the middle of them, there were two tentacles tightly grappling and tying a blonde armored high elf......
Blond? Armored? The younger sister is green-haired, and Ah Yi is a mage......
I let out a long breath and sheathed my sword. Since it's not my sister or Ah Yi, it's none of my business. Therefore, you can't be impulsive in everything, you have to think twice before you act.
While relaxing, I also remembered what these black tentacles came from, which were the famous "Ava Black Tentacles" in the fourth-level spell, which was undoubtedly the masterwork of the instructor.
The reason why "Eva Black Tentacles" is famous comes from a joke that circulated during the Open Beta:
A beautiful female mage and an evil male mage compete in spells.
The female mage asked the male mage in a cold voice, "How mature do you want?" Then he unleashed a "fireball spell" to blow the male mage away.
The great calamity did not die, and the male mage who got up from the ground asked evilly: "Do you like the front or the back?" ”
Then he used the "Ava Black Tentacles", and the black tentacles that appeared next to the female mage wrapped around her limbs and lifted her up.
……
This somewhat erotic joke spread, and the direct consequence was that when all male rookie players became a level 7 mage and could use a level 4 spell, the first choice must be the "Ava Black Tentacles". Then they found that the "Ava Black Tentacles" did grab any living thing within range, but they would not "lift" it, and those black tentacles did not recognize people......
However, the "Ava Black Tentacles" are still very popular, and some male mages are very keen to use the "Ava Black Tentacles" against women in thin clothes. It has become a hot topic of discussion on the forum at the time. However, the conflict between female players who spontaneously organized a crusade against male players who abused the "Eva Black Tentacles" and players who defended the freedom to use the "Ava Black Tentacles" caused a chain reaction that led to the first large-scale war of the Open Beta, which was called the "Just War" on one side and the "Freedom War" on the other, which together became the "War of Justice and Freedom...... The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond. The past is unbearable......
So that high elf is not strictly a captive, because although he was caught by the black tentacles, the dark elf did not risk being caught by other black tentacles and went over to dispose of him.
Of course, the commandos will not let him go. They collected the bows and arrows dropped by the defeated high elves, bent the bows and arrows outside the reach of the black tentacles, carefully aimed at the immobile high elves, and picked up the parts other than the vital points to shoot, the reason why they didn't use the crossbow was because the arrows of the crossbow arrows were smeared with poison, but they couldn't slowly torture the poor worm.
Even though he was specifically trying to avoid the vital point, the high elf stopped struggling before turning into a hedgehog. I also shot two arrows during this time, I was supposed to help him get rid of it quickly, but he kept struggling and made me miss, so you can't blame me......
