Chapter 815: Mage Killer
However, just when the sky is getting a little dark, u ucom arrives~
Two great magicians with excited faces, holding colorful magical items, came out of a tomb, still talking to each other about what they were holding. Suddenly, one of the archmages stopped, and the burial goods in his hand rolled to the ground. The companion turned his head strangely, but saw that the companion who was still talking and laughing with him just now had an empty bowl in his mouth, and then his body fell straight to the ground.
Seeing the strange death of his companion, the archmage immediately knew that the situation was not good, but before he could give a warning, a line ......of blood had already appeared in his throat, and then his head rolled off, and his body fell silently.
The two archmages died instantly, but unfortunately they were too far away from the rest of their companions for no one to notice the abnormality here. And not long after the death of these two archmages, in the other direction of the cemetery, the two archmages who were too far away from the team replayed the strange and terrifying scene just now.
It wasn't until someone found the body of a companion that they knew that danger had come unconsciously. A warning magic fireball rose into the sky, but the archmage who came out of the fireball weakly let go of the staff in his hand, and an ice spear had silently pierced his heart.
However, this scene has fallen into the eyes of everyone around him, and it was quickly reported to Audwin. This is a silent assassination, more sophisticated than any assassin's methods, there are so many legendary powerhouses present, but no one has any trace of the sneak attacker, and everyone who knows the news is beginning to panic a little.
"Assassins?" Odwin's brows tightened, the death of his great mage made him feel distressed, but the enemy's silent assassination methods made him even more frightened. As a twenty-second level legendary mage, he didn't feel the slightest abnormal power movement, which not only showed that the enemy's methods were clever, but also showed that even he would be unaware of this assassination.
And not only Odwin, but also Lin Li, Anduin, and Norson, the three legendary mages of the twenty-third level, have reached a fairly high level of comprehension of the power of rules. But even so, there is no trace of the sneak attacker, which can only show that the sneak attacker is better than the three of them in terms of mastering the rules.
Everyone stopped, looking nervously around them, the treasure in their hands had already rolled to the ground, and the crescent moon staff they held tightly continued to accumulate magic power. This kind of silent assassination brings more pressure to people than the frontal Jiao Feng. If it was in a frontal battle, even if the casualties were several times higher than the current one, it might not be able to affect the psychology of these magicians, but now just the death of a few companions has already made everyone else panic, and even feel fear.
Most people refer to assassins as an advanced class of thieves, who have more agile movements and stealth stunts. However, when the Assassin emerges from the Hidden Form and begins to attack the target deadly, it will inevitably burst out of the shadows, resulting in an abnormal force movement. These are all opportunities for magicians to defend and even counterattack in time when dealing with assassins.
But now, the magicians watched as one of their companions suddenly fell to the ground with blood spurting without warning, but they couldn't see any figure at all, and they didn't feel any attack, as if the assassin was completely transparent and illusory, as if the companion had completely hurt himself. This kind of unknown is the source of people's fear, and they would rather face a real Sacred Realm powerhouse than face such an invisible enemy.
"Quick, leave the treasure alone, and gather everyone at once." Lin Li said to Odwin with some urgency.
Lin Li's tone did not make Odwin feel unhappy, and the situation at this time did not allow him to have any other thoughts. Alerted by Lin Li, Odwin waved the staff in his hand, and a huge magic symbol flashed in the sky, summoning the magicians to gather towards his position.
The assassin really came and went without a trace, and just as the magicians gathered towards Odwin, a magician in the crowd suddenly had his head flying, and his headless body ran two steps before falling to the ground. And around this magician, several companions who were also not weak, but they did not react until they saw the corpse fall to the ground, and they suddenly woke up.
Odwin clenched the staff in his hand tightly, the joints of his fingers were a little white, but he was powerless to stop the incident, because even if his magician was attacked, he couldn't see the assassin's movements at all. The only thing he could do now was to wait, waiting for all the magicians of the mage group to gather.
Finally, after two more magicians fell to the ground, everyone gathered around Odwin, and the fear in the eyes of the magicians gradually receded as they looked at the figure of the president and the three legendary powerhouses. That's it~ After all, the legendary powerhouse, in the eyes of the great magicians, is already a god-like existence. They believe that with these legendary powerhouses here, the cowardly ghost who only knows about sneak attacks should be somewhat restrained.
However, just when everyone thought it was safe, a magician standing on the periphery of the team looked down at the empty dong at his mouth, and slowly fell to his companion in front of him weakly.
"Gather, form a tight defensive formation, and everyone open the magic shield!" Lin Li shouted loudly. No matter how clever an Assassin is, he needs a certain amount of space to use stealth and assassination methods. If it is said that there is no room for chauffeur between people, even the most clever stealth technique cannot penetrate the human body. Although this is an exaggeration, the large compression space can indeed reduce a lot of danger.
However, the magicians did not react immediately to Lin Li's words, but turned their attention to the middle president Odwin. No matter what changes have taken place in the mage corps before, when it comes to fighting, the mages still obviously trust the command of the leader Odwin.
"Now, all of you obey President Ferrey's orders, and his words are my words!" Odwin glanced at Lin Li apologetically, and at the same time transmitted his orders to the magicians, temporarily giving Lin Li the command.
Odwin's words worked very well, and the magicians who heard the order immediately formed a tight defensive formation according to what Lin Li said, and all the magicians opened their magic shields at the same time, whether it was on the periphery or in the center.
"Everyone, unleash a magic attack around, don't care about the target, cover the surrounding space with a magic attack!" Lin Li immediately issued a second order.
This time, the magicians did not hesitate at all, and raised the crescent moon staff in their hands one by one, bursting fireballs, ice crystal rings, earth spear stabs, etc., all kinds of powerful attack magic, separated around the defense of the mage group, and completely covered the outside space in an instant, even a fly may not be able to find a foothold.
Lin Li believed that even an assassin with high stealth ability would not be able to truly erase his body from this space. Even if he avoids the human visual and other senses, and even avoids the search of spiritual power, his body still has to exist in this space. After all, when he really doesn't exist in this space, he can't do any harm to the people in this space. Even Gresco, the god of mages, can't do it instantaneously when he casts the Void Star Technique, and if that invisible assassin can really switch between the void and reality, then he is a real god.
Therefore, Lin Li's method of dealing with it is also very simple, first gather closely, cast a magic shield to prevent assassination, and then use magic to cover the surrounding space, bī force the invisible assassin to show 1ù traces.
Sure enough, Lin Li's method quickly worked, and outside the defensive formation, in an earth-shattering magical light, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and like a black lightning, it instantly rushed into the air.
Lin Li squinted his eyes slightly, followed the black shadow and looked into the sky, and through the constantly shining magical light, an emaciated figure in a robe appeared in sight.
A long straight golden head, casually draped, swaying slightly with the surrounding magic bombardment. On the pale face, a pair of blood-red eyes are particularly eye-catching, and the madness and tyranny in those eyes make everyone who looks at them feel cold. The pointed ears, which reveal the cover of the head, also directly show his identity. This man with a handsome face and a gloomy expression is a typical High Elf.
The High Elf wore a black robe with a vertical collar, and held a slightly slender staff in his hand, only the red ruby at the tip of the staff, but at the same time as huge as a goose egg. If it weren't for seeing it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have imagined that such a high elf dressed as a magician would have terrifying assassination methods that no top-level assassin could match.
"This ...... This is Eminos, one of Osric's executioners, known as the Mage Killer. Northon was the first to recognize the other party's identity, and there was a faint horror in his tone.
Although Nuo Sen was now a twenty-third level Legendary Mage, he knew that even before Eminos disappeared back then, there were dozens of Legendary Mages killed, and there were not a few Legendary Mages above the twenty-third level. And now, Eminos's strength is definitely close to the Holy Domain, and he, a legendary mage of the twenty-third level, has no advantage at all.
Norson secretly regretted in his heart, he knew that he would meet Eminos, a mage killer, and he should not have used that staff to summon the dragon as if he were ostentatious. If you save that opportunity to summon until now, in front of the two Sacred Domain-level ancient dragons, no matter how clever Eminos's assassination methods are, I am afraid that there will be no chance to use it. However, at this moment, don't look at the large number of people on your side, but for that mage killer, it doesn't pose any threat at all, at most, it just lets him make a few more shots.
Hearing Northon call out the name Eminos, almost everyone's eyes were filled with irrepressible fear, and even Anduin's face became a little ugly. Because in history, there are no fewer legends about Eminos, the mage killer, than those mythical figures.
The nickname of Eminos, the mage-killer, is said to have been officially given by the High Lord Osric himself, not only because he is a magician, but he does the work of an assassin, but the bigger reason is that his hands are stained with the blood of countless mages of the resistance forces, and almost all of them are assassination.
As a magician, Eminos was extremely keen to hide in the darkness and give his enemies a fatal blow. What he enjoys the most is to hide on the side, constantly terrorize the enemy, watch the enemy collapse in boundless fear, and finally take the enemy's life with one blow. So when it comes to magic, he forgoes the magic that seems powerful and has the power to destroy the Xìng, and instead chooses all the magic that is useful for stealth and assassination. He rarely even uses magic above the legendary level, and the magic of single attacks such as wind blades, ice spears, and air bursts is his favorite.
Legend has it that Eminos' battle to fame was a battle to destroy a resistance force in the Kingdom of Fran when he first stepped into the legendary realm. The leader of that human resistance force is a twenty-second level legendary mage, and there are more than a dozen archmages close to the legendary realm under his command, as well as hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers of various professions.
In that battle, Eminos did not mobilize any High Elf forces, but infiltrated the rebel camp alone, and with the strength of just stepping into the twentieth level, he carried out ten days of non-stop assassination of the rebels. During those ten days, all the rebels were in endless fear, and the last few remaining great mages were all turned into madmen. And the twenty-second level legendary mage was singing a powerful legendary magic when Yín was silently slitting his throat with a low-level wind blade.
Even a legendary mage, his throat can't stop a wind blade! This is a motto left by Eminos in the legend, and although the truth is not verifiable, it does fit his style. There are also people who try to constantly apply magic shields to themselves in order to delay time, but for an assassin, waiting for opportunities and seizing opportunities is what they do best, and solving enemies is often just a moment, who can always apply magic shields to themselves for a moment, and can also ensure that they will never make mistakes.
