Chapter 766: Sneak Attack
As everyone slowly walked into the laboratory, they couldn't help but speed up their pace when they felt the powerful magic fluctuations.
Especially on the elf side, they are not very satisfied with the harvest of the previous layers, and they can't wait to make up for it in this layer. Kurophon, a legendary mage who specialized in fire-based magic, suddenly quickened his pace and walked past everyone to the front of the line.
"Wait......" Lin Li, who was walking behind, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly warned him. However, before Lin Li's words fell, in the darkness opposite Kurofen, a knife light suddenly flashed.
At that moment, everything around him lost its color under the sword light, as if only that dazzling sword light was left in the entire space. Time was frozen at this moment, and the chilling sword light had a momentum that cut through everything, as if it had cut through the limitations of space and time, and in an instant, it had come to Kurofen's eyes.
In the face of the attacking sword light, it seemed that any retreat was superfluous, and any resistance would be cut off mercilessly. However, after all, Kulophon was a twenty-first level legendary mage, and despite the desperate attack, he tried his best to retreat to the side at the moment of the sword's attack, while blocking the staff in his hand in front of him, hoping to slow down the attack.
The sword flashed, and everyone immediately heard a cry of pain, and saw that Kurofen, who quickly retreated to the team, was already holding a broken arm with his hand, and blood was constantly flowing out of the wound, and soon a pool of blood was formed on the ground. And where Curophon was attacked just now, he was still holding the half arm of the severed staff, which was particularly eye-catching on the ground.
Elder Randy hurriedly used his magic to stop the bleeding for Culopen, but his eyes were fixed on the place where the sword light appeared just now. Everyone was taken aback by this sudden change, and thought that after passing through the spiral of the Seven Realms, they should be able to travel unhindered in this tower, but now it seems that this place is really not something that can be broken in casually.
The people who were on guard didn't wait long, only to see that where the sword light flashed just now, two shadows came out of the darkness, and they didn't seem to have the slightest scruples about the many legendary powerhouses opposite.
But the enemy who came out made everyone even more confused, because it really looked like two shadows. Even though they have escaped from the shroud of darkness, the two enemies are still invisible, or cannot be said to be invisible, but not at all. The two enemies were completely dark shadows, almost like shadows under people's feet, except for the position of their hands, and the scimitars held behind them emitted a dazzling cold light.
"Wraith!" Sein had suffered a lot of losses from the wraiths, especially those few legendary-level entity wraiths, which made him extremely impressed. Therefore, when I saw these two enemies, whose bodies were solid, but like shadows, I immediately thought of the terrible evil spirit.
However, Elder Randy, who had just treated Culofin's injuries, shook his head and said, "No, it can't be resentful spirits, otherwise the aura on their bodies can't be concealed no matter what." ”
Unable to confirm the identity of the enemy, Sean and Elder Randy looked at Lin Li in unison, hoping that this young man, who had been constantly performing miracles, could give a possible answer. However, Lin Li didn't say anything, just shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Sain's guess, but he didn't have a definite answer.
In fact, after Sain shouted "resentful spirit" himself, he also felt that this guess was a little inappropriate. Let's not talk about the form or the like, judging from the strength of the enemy alone, it is indeed not comparable to those physical resentful spirits.
Although Kulovin specializes in fire-based magic, he is also a real twenty-first-level legendary mage, and through the battles along the way, it seems that he has a lot of combat experience. But the two shadow-like enemies cut off one of Curofen's arms with a single strike. Although there is a reason for the sneak attack, as an experienced legendary mage, even if he has not developed his own magic realm, he is very sensitive to the fluctuations in the magic power around him. I'm afraid that even a legendary thief like Lansdale will not be easy to successfully sneak up on Culopen.
Moreover, Seon also noticed that the forms of these two shadow enemies were indeed different from the physical spirits. With the strength that the enemy just showed, if it was really a resentful spirit, I am afraid that it would have completely become an entity long ago, and it would never be possible to exist like a shadow like it is now.
The crowd was still speculating about the origin of the two shadow-like enemies, but the two shadows clearly didn't want to waste time on the group of invaders. As soon as they stepped out of the darkness, the two shadows flickered and suddenly disappeared from their places. When he reappeared, a shadow had already come to Elder Randy, and a sword light slashed towards Elder Randy's throat.
Another shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the group, slashing her scimitar at Princess Eluni in the group. If it weren't for the unicorn following Princess Eluni all the time, I'm afraid that under that tricky and weird knife, this beautiful elf princess would really be gone.
Elder Randy, who had just repelled the enemy, was directly frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly organized everyone to gather together to protect Princess Eluni and the injured Kurophon. Lin Li and Sean could also see that although there were only two enemies, their strength was not something that could be solved by any one side alone, so no one objected to Elder Randy's request, and the entire team quickly formed a circular defensive formation.
However, forming a circular defensive array, the situation has not changed much, and a series of lightning-like sword lights appear around everyone's body from time to time, sometimes in front of them, sometimes behind them, and every sword light goes straight to the fatal point. Everyone, all the time, is dealing with an endless stream of deadly sneak attacks. It looked as if this circular defensive array composed of many legendary powerhouses was surrounded by countless sword lights.
If it weren't for the two shadow-like enemies who came out of the darkness just now, I'm afraid no one would have believed that there were only two enemies that everyone was facing at this time. Even the people in it couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that there were more enemies beyond those two shadows?
There was no way for them not to doubt it, because with their eyes alone, they could no longer catch the two shadows that were constantly moving at high speed. The only thing that can be seen is the dazzling sword light that is revealed when he is attacked.
Even the extremely fast-moving wind elemental was like a snail compared to these two shadows. Even the winged angel that Sain had just subdued, couldn't touch the edge of the two shadows at all, and when he was summoned, he didn't achieve the slightest result at all except for many more wounds on his body.
At this time, Lin Li also summoned Gordon, who had been subdued before, but compared to the attack speed of those two shadows, Gordon's speed was even more insufficient, and the only use was to share a little bit of the density of attacks for everyone. As a flesh shield to share the damage, Gordon's body fused with various magical metals can indeed play a role.
Lin Li was careful to guard against the sharp sneak attacks that appeared from time to time, but there was no pause in his mind, thinking about the origin of these two shadows. Although there are many legendary powerhouses on their side, the current situation is not optimistic, passively beaten, no matter how strong the defense is, there are times when it is broken, and only counterattacks can solve the dilemma. However, if you want to fight back, you must find out where the enemy comes from, otherwise a blind counterattack is no different from sending you to death.
However, from the form of those two shadows to their breath, Lin Li has never been able to find something that matches them in his memory. It wasn't a wraith, because what they felt from them was only pure magical fluctuations, but they didn't have the breath of the dead that undead creatures should have. Nor are they dark elemental lifeforms, and although they look like shadows, they don't have dark elemental fluctuations that match their strength.
If it was purely a feeling, Lin Li was able to find something similar, there was no breath of life, no breath of the dead, only pure magic fluctuations, and it seemed that only the alchemy colossus driven by the alchemy circle met these conditions. The Alchemy Colossus is not life, naturally it has no breath of life, let alone an undead, and of course there is no breath of the dead. The drive of the alchemy circle requires magic crystals as the source of magic power, so it is not surprising that there are pure magic fluctuations.
However, everyone knows that the reason why alchemy colossias are called colossias is that they are often extremely tall, even like titans, and their strength is extremely terrifying, and they can even compete with dragons. What's more, the Alchemy Colossus needs someone to manipulate it, and no matter how small the alchemist makes the Alchemy Colossus, there is always room for the manipulator.
Now, the two shadows that everyone is facing are the same size as ordinary people, and although their strength is not weak, they are more manifested in their unmatched speed and sharp attacks. Whether it is the appearance or the way of attack, the difference between these two shadows and the alchemy colossus is heaven and earth, and they are completely incompatible.
Sein had already had to put the winged angel away again, and the winged angel's original injury had not fully recovered, and now he was almost dismembered by the scimitars of the two shadows after coming out for a while. Sain didn't want a thug he had so hard to get to end up before he could bring it out.
However, although without the help of the Winged Angel, Sein did not fall into a predicament, because just now, with the help of the Winged Angel, he simply replaced his magic robe and staff with the Robe of Faro and the Staff of the Dark Moon. In fact, when he first got these magic equipment, Sein had the heart to try it himself, but for the sake of face, he was embarrassed to be too eager in front of everyone.
I have to say that this faro robe and the Darkmoon Staff are worthy of being the standard equipment of the famous High Elf Magic Legion, and they do have a great improvement in the user's combat power. With these two pieces of equipment, although Sein can't really reach the twenty-second level yet, it is certain that even if he fights against the twenty-second level legendary powerhouse, he will never be defeated.
Seeing that the sword light was dangerously blocked by the defensive magic pattern of the Faro robe, Sean waved the Dark Moon Staff to fight back, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, if he hadn't obtained this powerful magic equipment, I am afraid that he would really be the first among everyone to fall now.
Thane changed into the Pharo robe and the Darkmoon Staff, which naturally attracted the attention of others, especially on the elven side, and Elder Randy's heart was even more uncomfortable. But at this time, he didn't have time to regret those, in the face of the sword light that kept flashing around him, everyone could only defend passively, which was definitely not a good phenomenon.
In fact, the current situation cannot be said to be defensive at all, and everyone is completely passively beaten. Because no one knows when the attack against them will appear, and no one knows whose side those two shadows will appear next moment. Only when he was attacked, seeing the dazzling sword light approaching, did he hastily make defensive or dodging moves.
"Kurophon, use the crystal ball to find their tracks!" Elder Randy was also inspired by Sein, remembering the crystal ball he got on his side on the first layer. Although there is no powerful enough source of magic power to fully exert the power of the illusion magic pattern on the crystal ball, it should still be no problem to detect the traces of those two shadows and delay the enemy's attack.
Taking the space equipment handed over by Elder Randy, Kurophon, who stood in the circular defensive array, took out the huge crystal ball and placed it on the ground. Although he lost half of his arm, Kurophon's legendary magic power was not affected. He pressed his left hand on the crystal ball, injected magic into the crystal ball, and activated the crystal ball, and everything around him suddenly appeared in the crystal ball.
The thirteen illusion patterns on the crystal ball, under the infusion of Kurofen's magic power, only two magic patterns lit up, and the invisible magic ripples continued to spread out towards the surroundings.
Obviously, although I don't know where the two shadows came from, the illusion pattern did play a role, and the speed of the two shadows has decreased slightly, at least in the crystal ball, it can already capture the trajectory of their movement.
"Wizard Ferry, be careful with your left-hand direction! Elder Randy, watch the sky above the front! Princess Eluni became the temporary commander, constantly conveying the information seen in the crystal ball to everyone present.
With the help of the crystal ball, knowing which direction the enemy's attack is coming from, everyone's defense can be regarded as really something, at least not as scrambling as before. However, don't think that this will reverse the passive situation, and when you really face the shadow attack, you will know that the sharp attack will still bring people deadly danger.
