Chapter 49: The Iron Mage
Ling Key kept retreating, but the mage did not hesitate to lunge towards Ling Key, relying on his steel claws to resist the repulsion, howling and waving his claws.
At the same time, his face was looking in the other direction behind him—almost a hundred and eighty degrees, towards the other crusades he had just jumped over behind him. Ling Jian heard that in the midst of the frantic and illogical howl, there was another deep and indistinct voice......
High-speed chanting! Ling Jian immediately recalled yesterday's battle, when this guy was also using the same super magic technique to cast spells, but at that time his voice was very loud, not so low that it was almost inaudible like now.
But...... Can this magician really do it while still being able to maintain the state of casting spells while engaging in fierce physical confrontations?
Looking at the enemy who staggered all the way, eager to use his hands together and crawl over like a beast, Ling Jian was very suspicious.
But immediately, a shrill cry overpowered the howl that had preceded it, and magic stirred in the air. Behind him, the ground beneath the feet of the elder Dekker and his group changed again.
This time it wasn't grease, but a mess of mud, mud, dirty water, rancid ...... It's a swamp.
Mire! It's another indirect attack spell, but it's especially effective in brawls, especially in skirmishes.
Once again, the magician succeeded in restricting people's movements. This time, even Ling Key's Ice Elixir wouldn't be able to help them - they couldn't jump up in the swamp, and it would freeze them together. What's more, I'm afraid that this kind of terrain can't even break the test tube containing the ice elixir, right?
Subsequently, in the dark corners of the entire second and third floors, countless metal six-legged spider-shaped puppets crawled out. Densely surrounded by people who were stuck in the mire, it made people's scalps tingle.
Although he is called "Armor Collector", the enemy's real profession is a puppeteer, and he is a high-level puppeteer, but because his strength is too strong, after reaching the level of the founding sect, the original nickname is even louder, so there is the existence of the character of Armor Collector.
He is adept at using a variety of armor as a means of combat, but the main component of his abilities is still puppetry. And the so-called puppets are naturally not limited to humanoid armor.
This insect type of golem is the simplest and most basic model that can be manufactured on a large scale on an assembly line. When the number reaches a certain level, this becomes another great trick for armor collectors.
This is especially true when dealing with enemies who are mired in the mud and have limited mobility.
The raiders had to get into a scuffle again within striking distance of their objectives.
The black-robed man, the armor collector's split, let out a sneer and turned back to continue staring at the torch and crystal.
After completing the Hindrance Raider's objective, the mage turned his head back in the direction of Ling Key. Two resentful glances pierced from under the hood.
"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! It's all because you ......" hissed a voice that exuded the most vicious curse. After concentrating all his energy, the magician completely canceled out the repulsive force of the talisman, and his whole body made a clicking sound, and he pounced unswervingly!
Rumble! Ling Jian raised his hand and shot out, but the other party did not dodge or dodge, but just turned his body sideways and used his steel right hand to make a rough block.
Dense ammunition hit the mage, making a sound of metal clashing.
The muzzle storm tore through the enemy's hood and cloak, revealing a horrific scene underneath him—half his cheek, half his head...... His entire right half of his body was turned into a mechanical structure.
The magician I saw yesterday was transformed into a cyborg puppet! Gears, screws, steel brackets, and various metal pipes were crudely embedded in his body, and the wounds at the joints had not yet fully healed. In the midst of his furious movements, the oil seeped out with the fluids of the human tissue, and the gears creaked against the bones.
Ling Jian felt a burst of creepy, the magician in front of him had completely turned into a monster! The armor collector apparently didn't just put a new arm on him, but turned him into a puppet of his own. At this time, the magician was like a crudely spliced together half-human body and half-mechanical puppet, and the brutal transformation operation had probably destroyed his original sanity.
He can't be counted as a human anymore.
"It's all because of you!" Rushing in front of Ling Key, he roared indistinctly, and the claws of his right hand swung down fiercely.
Ling Jian had to dodge to the side, and there was no way back.
"It's really bullying the soft and afraid of the hard." Ling Key muttered. Although in yesterday's battle, he did give the magician a lot of trouble. To be honest, the real main force in that battle was Uncle Fanley, right? It was also Uncle Fanley who cut off his arm.
But at this moment, the magician was only staring at Ling Key for revenge...... Because he also knew that he would never be able to beat Fanley.
"But do you really think I'm a bully!" Ling Jian raised his gun and pointed it at the enemy.
Rumble! A fireball exploded, knocking the shotgun out of Ling Key's hand. I don't know when the enemy has prepared a fireball technique!
At this time, the remaining four fireballs also struck in succession.
Damn it! Ling Jian didn't bother to pick up the short-barreled shotgun that had been knocked away, and hurriedly rolled to the side to avoid the fireball bombardment.
Lift your handbag to act as a shield to keep out the aftermath of the blast.
What's going on? Where does the magic come from? Spell silent or spell instantaneous?
Ling Jian looked up and re-examined the enemy. No, that's a robot mind! I don't know if it's intentional or not, but the transformed mages have the ability to fight and cast spells at the same time, and they can do not interfere with each other. It's like two consciousnesses controlling one body!
It's no wonder that he can stalk and maintain the spellcaster at the same time.
"Are you alright, boy?" Fan Li's voice came from behind, "I'll help you later!" ”
Ling Key glanced back, and the people behind him were struggling with the Mire Technique and the Mechanical Spider Golem.
"No!" He decisively rejected the other party's kindness, "I can handle it here!" ”
"Die!" The magician laughed maniacally and pounced.
Ling Jian jumped up and met him with his arm.
Qiang~
The magician's razor-sharp claws were unexpectedly flicked open—and at this time, Ling Key's right arm was also wrapped in a steel shell, making the same clicking sound as the other party.
Craftsman! Ling Key was no longer afraid of the enemy's claws, and began to take the initiative to attack forward.
"After all, it's just a mechanical puppet, as a maker, see how Lao Tzu dismantled you!"
On one side is a metal handarm, and on the other is a handbag. Ling Jian relied on these two Qimen weapons to instantly turn the situation around.
Even after being modified, the enemy is essentially a mage, and should have never been exposed to melee combat before. However, Ling Jian received a full set of combat training in the new barracks, and the two were superior to each other.
Coupled with the characteristics of the "craftsman", Ling Key really succeeded in removing the other party's two claws with the help of the gadgets hidden in it.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the magician's only remaining thinking ability, or instinct, made him change his tactics, and began to chant in a low voice while continuing to grapple with Ling Key.
But this time, it was immediately noticed by Ling Key, who had already seen through the other party's methods.
As the enemy's incantation was chanted, a deep syllable came from Ling Key's mouth—and he also whispered a simple and profound tune.
Ling Key's chant and the enemy's incantation quickly merged, like two chords in unison, staggered and spiraling.
Gradually, Ling Key's chant took over the "chorus", and as he stopped drinking, the magician's incantation chanting was also forced to stop!
The spell was cast and the spirit power was reversed. The magician wailed in pain, and the only remaining normal eye was bloodshot before blood flowed.
Ling Jian immediately seized the opportunity, and his boots bounced out of the metal stakes and plunged into the ground - "Steady Workbench"!
The gears embedded in the back of the handnail spun at high speed, and the tone of the sound rose sharply.
Spring Bumper! With the whining of the gear system, an iron fist roared out, striking the enemy's claws.
In an instant, the magician's steel claws shattered, and parts and shards sprang everywhere. The huge power contained in this punch also "tore" part of his body by the way...... Mechanical part.
The power of this punch is like a heavy artillery bombardment! The mage was driven by the impact, spinning and retreating, dropping various fragments along the way. This muddy guy was beaten up.
Ling Jian is not satisfied, he can never take the enemy lightly, let alone show mercy to his subordinates!
Reaching out and pointing at the enemy, the "nails" of the five fingers of the craftsman were suddenly ejected, and a long steel wire was attached to it.
These five wires quickly wound around the enemy, and the "nails" also became delicate anchors that firmly held the steel cables.
Woo...... The craftsman's built-in power system began to exert force, pulling the enemy back.
In this case, the magician still remained "calm", and when his right hand was destroyed, he raised his right leg, which was also a steel claw, and kicked towards Ling Keyfei.
Ling Key untied the tightrope, then grabbed the kicking right leg.
"Heavy hammer forging machine!" With a low roar, with the help of the auxiliary bracket, Ling Key picked up the enemy and slammed it to the ground.
The mage let out a piercing scream, and the transformed body seemed to be tougher, and although a lot of messy parts had been dropped, the overall structure remained intact. He struggled to fight back.
Ling Jian didn't leave any chance, and once again slapped the ground on the other side......
Three times like this, even a real steel golem will fall apart.
"Little brother, this way!" Aeolos said loudly.
Ling Key comprehended, and once again threw the enemy in his hand in that direction.
While Ling Key was fighting the magician, the others also solved the problem of the mire. Although there are no professional spellcasters in the raiding team, there are still two guards who have the ability to cast spells - the same two who just changed the wall to block the elevator platform. They only have one spell skill, which is terrain change, which was originally an optional skill to make it easier to build a camp, but at this time, it also worked wonders in the face of the mire technique.
They re-hardened the ground. After keeping their feet on the ground, the people of the raiding team were finally able to exert their normal strength. The large number of mechanical spider golems were knocked down in a few blows, and then everyone gathered together, ready for Aiolos to solve with a magic sword move.
Just then, Ling Key also threw the puppet mage over.
In the air, Aiolos' magic sword skyrocketed in size, turning into a thunder and fire greatsword. Rumbles the pile of golems into a puddle of molten metal.
Uncle Fan Li squinted his eyes and lightly picked it with his short sword, and at the last moment, he "saved" the two complete spider puppets and threw them to Ling Key.
"Yo! You can also look into this. ”
Ling Jian took it with a wry smile, and after a brief inspection to confirm that there were no tracking, self-detonation and other mechanisms, he did not shirk it, and directly put it into his handbag - of course, he tied it up with a steel cable first, just like tying a hairy crab......
Next, the road to the torch altar suddenly opened up, and there was no longer any obstruction.
