Chapter 639: Heart of Thorns
"Damn! That guy is out! Let's hurry up! Despite the resistance of the enchantment spell, Ispen was shocked by the power contained in it, and took several steps back until Delphine was at his side.
"What? Do you know? Delphine asked, but there was no pause in his steps.
Isbon's face was not very good, and when Delphine asked "Do you know", he suddenly turned around and raised his hand to release an enchantment. Mages at this level in Ispen are sensitive to the elemental fluctuations around them, which is why Isben can react well to external spell attacks. The moment he turned to release the barrier, another thick arc of lightning struck the barrier.
"Bang!" The enchantment exploded, and Ispen himself stumbled and fell backwards with an unbalanced body. Fortunately, he happened to be next to Delphi, and seeing that the old guy had fallen, Delphine hurriedly reached out and grabbed him and ran under his armpit.
Several archers in the Oath Abandoner's camp had been wiped out by them, and the remaining dozen or so warriors were also chasing Delphine from a distance, and there was still a little distance between the two because of the previous fireball spell of Isbon, which was not very urgent. The only threat to the two of them was the Oathbreaker Mage who threw spells in the back.
"Acquaintance? It's not an acquaintance...... I've met this guy when I've traveled before. But at that time, he had not yet become the Heart of Thorns, and it was just me and him in a duel. In the end, of course, he lost, but I didn't do it at the time, so I let him live. Ispen coughed lightly twice, and as it should, be caught between Delphine and run forward. A high-level or maybe even master-level warrior running away with a mage or something is not too much of a burden.
"Oh...... No wonder...... You say if I throw you behind, will that guy just shift the target to you? Delphine also had the leisure to joke with Isbon at this time. The warrior's instincts told her that there was no immediate danger coming her at the moment.
"Don't ...... If you leave me down, I don't think I can wait for that guy to take revenge, and the group of oathbreakers behind me will be able to chop me to pulp......" Ispen grinned, decisively relenting.
"Cut ......" Delphine made a sound through his nose, clearly upset with the old guy's soft bones. My jokes didn't have the effect I expected. But she was not discouraged, looking at the fast-running figure of Dacula in front of her, she suddenly said: "I don't understand, why are you so tolerant of that cat man." Although he is a Dragonborn, can his character really complete his plan to stop Alduin? ”
Isben didn't expect Delphine to ask about this at this time, and it seems that she has endured Dacula's words and deeds to a limit in the past few days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have picked this time to ask myself. It seems that only at this time did the cat man leave the two of them, and the two of them could just discuss the matter of this cat man dragon descendant.
Thinking of this, Ispen moved his body slightly, so as to find a more comfortable position under Delven's armpits, and then said: "It doesn't matter what the character of the cat man is, as long as he is a dragonborn." He is a dragonborn, so he will definitely carry his own mission according to the guidance of the prophecy...... As for Naoduin...... He will also be slain! ”
"I hope so......" Delphine was obviously a little hesitant about Isbon's words, but out of trust in her old partner, she could only reply. After glancing at the cat-man's rapid escape, he didn't care about the life or death of the two of them, and Delphine took a deep breath, as if he had suppressed all the disappointment and suspicion of the cat-man for days.
Isben could sense the uneasiness in his partner's heart, but he couldn't put into words how he felt. The stronger the strength of most archmages, the more they can feel an inexplicable law between things. This kind of law is very mysterious, and it can only be understood but not spoken. Of course, there are some of them who have practiced this path and can describe some of the future developments to others in their own words. Of course, there is a price to be paid for such ability. Duran, a soothsayer who disappeared after the explosion of the Wintercastle Mage Academy, is an example.
Odd? Why don't you see the attack of the mage behind you? Although he was a little helpless, Ispen was still vigilant behind him. However, what made him feel strange was that he didn't know why the Oathbreaker High Priest behind him had stopped abruptly after making so many attacks.
Thinking of this, Ispen subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, just in time to see a thin figure riding on the neck of a stout oath apostler chasing after him.
Well, this guy almost couldn't catch up. Ispen finally saw the guy who had done the trick on him, so naturally it wouldn't make him feel better. He struggled slightly, and Delphine naturally willingly let go of the arm that was holding him.
Although Ispen looked very old, his body was still strong, and after landing on the ground, he turned around vigorously, and the large fireball in his hand was thrown towards the thin figure riding the oathbreaker.
Come and don't be rude, how hard this guy hit Ispen before, how fierce Ispen's counterattack was. The thin mage was obviously a little stunned by the oncoming fireball, and subconsciously released an enchantment technique to resist.
"Boom!" The power of the fireball blast is generally a little greater than the impact of the lightning spell, and although the mage used the enchantment technique to block the damage of the fireball, he and the oath breaker he was riding were not surprised to be knocked down by the shirking power of the fireball explosion.
Looking at the overturned enemy, Ispen exhaled in relief and prepared directly for the next attack. However, the strength of the oathbreaker mage on the other side is not just a matter of words, the moment he fell to the ground, he had already rolled to the other side, and at the same time, the movements of his hands were not slow at all, and he began to prepare spells almost at the same time as East.
In the case of the level is almost the same, and the power of the preparation spell is also almost the same. The mage with the Heart of Thorns bonus was obviously much faster than Isbon. Ispen, who had just raised his eyebrows and was about to fight back, could only resist in the face of the oncoming lightning......
"Heart of Thorns is the most powerful 'android' of the Oathbreaker tribe, either a mage or a warrior. They were born for revenge, and they will eventually die on the road of revenge to liberate Ruichi...... They gained great power through a contract with the Raven Ghost Woman. Of course...... The price of this power is that they have lost their hearts forever, and they have been embedded there with another magical creation that can give them great strength......"
