673 Melee Mage
As a typical ranged class, the battle distance between mages is often quite long, and in terms of spell range, even archers cannot compete with mages, and as the rank increases, this combat distance can even reach the level of cross-sight.
It's not that the mage is definitely a weak chicken character who is powerless, but as long as the caster uses spellcasting ability as the main combat method, he will basically try to avoid melee combat with the enemy.
Therefore, the spell mage who suddenly used a certain method and crossed the middle distance and appeared directly in front of Sycamore did bluff Indus, and if it was other melee professions and found that the enemy was approaching, the first reaction was either to pounce on him and slash him first, or to evade and dodge the opponent's attack.
As a mage, Wutong's first reaction was to distance himself first!
This is also the instinctive reaction of most mages in battle, but since the other party suddenly rushed forward when Wutong was distracted, he obviously expected Wutong's reaction, and Wutong's steps retreated, and he felt that he didn't know what hard and slippery things he stepped on under his feet, and he suddenly lost his balance, and fell backwards with a "swoop"!
And the spell mage, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, snorted coldly, waved his hand and grabbed it out of thin air, and an azure ice dagger suddenly condensed in his hand, the sharp spikes and blades, flashing with the light of the cold, kept rubbing and growing between his waves, and before he was about to cut the sycamore, it had turned into an extra-long ice blade more than two meters long!
Swept across at such a length, Sycamore simply had no angle or opportunity to dodge. The ice blade that brushed the ground was about to cut his unbalanced body in half, and the next moment, Wutong's figure suddenly disappeared without a trace!
The ice dagger in the spell mage's hand slowly shortened, melting into his hand. He straightened up and turned around to look at the sycamore about ten meters behind him.
"[Specialized] in ice?"
The sycamore scalp was numb, and some of them looked at each other with a big fire. It's scary to be shocked, right!?
Pay attention, Wutong only found out how the other party approached him so quickly and quietly, the ground within a radius of more than ten meters was covered with a thin layer of ice shell, no wonder he slipped just now, and the other party didn't know what equipment he was wearing, which could make him move fast on the ice, not to mention, but also be able to maintain balance!
Some mages, because they specialize in certain elemental spells. Therefore, when using this type of spell, they often gain additional [Specialization] enhancements on the basis of the [Specialization] school, which makes them extremely powerful and consumed very low when they release spells, and the spell fluctuations are weak, and the casting speed is extremely fast!
The performance of this spell mage just now just met these characteristics. That's why Wutong guessed that he was "a [spell system] school [specialized] ice mage", but what surprised Wutong was that the ice elemental spell should belong to the "[Plastic Energy Department] school-[elemental] sub-school-Ice elemental family", and he was a spell mage who did not [specialize] in the spells of his [spell system] school, but wanted to [specialize] in elemental spells across schools for Mao?
Of course. Wearing a spell robe doesn't have to be a spell mage.
Speaking of which, Wutong should be regarded as a fire method, although he did not [specialize] in the spells of the "[elemental] sub-school - fire elemental department", but because of the [Flame Sage] Gurugul [Relic] set on his body and the bonus of the [Fire Sage] inheritance, his "Fire Elemental" spell power is not inferior to the ordinary [specialized] fire method.
If the other party is Bingfa, then he happens to be a pair of sworn enemies!
Wutong, who came to be interested, stared at the spell mage who turned around with great interest, wanting to see what other means he had to come out, but the other party said in a low voice: "So arrogant? Not ready to make a move? ”
This time Wutong was not fooled, the other party's voice did not fall, and sure enough, the white light flashed under his feet, and a large amount of fine ice slag burst out of the "Woo Woo", condensing an ice path under his feet, and pushing his body like a ghost, and rushed to Wutong's body in a flash!
Sycamore's body leaned back slightly, and a [secondary flame ball] shot out of his hand towards the other party, and as soon as he left his hand, it exploded in front of Wutong like a "directional blasting grenade", and the diffused flames were sprayed straight ahead without any waste!
With this spell-casting technique, the form of the [Secondary Flame Ball] released by Sycamore seemed to turn into a roaring fire dragon, as if the opponent himself rushed up to meet the spurting fire dragon.
The other party was obviously not such an easy target to be dealt with, the roaring flames dissipated, and only a thin layer was left after a cone-shaped ice shield was melted, and all the liquid that melted was volatilized into air at that moment, which caused not many water stains on the ground.
The Spell Mage, who was hiding behind the ice shield, raised his head slightly, and shot an interesting look from under the hood that covered his face, and with a gentle push of his outstretched palm, the ice shield that had only a thin ice shell left fell to the ground and shattered into ice chips all over the ground, which soon melted into water stains and seeped into the dirt on the ground.
"Fire law? Interesting..."
The spell mage flicked his staff, and a layer of azure ice picks extended on the staff, transforming the staff into a long ice blade in an instant!
Wutong had a bad chill, this girl pretended to be more forced than him, rolled her eyes, only you can pretend to be cool? He also flicked the [Flame Rune Staff] in his hand, and a beam of flame erupted, condensing into a [Flame Blade] on the head of the staff!
The surrounding onlookers were in an uproar, and their attention was diverted from the two earth-shattering knights who were fighting, whether these two mages were going to fight hand-to-hand or something? Why are you all going under the knife?
"Huh~", the opponent's [Ice Blade] slashed over, Wutong did not hesitate to swing the knife [Flame Blade] in the violent collision with the other party, splashed ice chips and sparks, because of the repulsion characteristics of the ice and fire blade, in an instant, under the supply of the two of them to restore the original!
Obviously, it is impossible for a mage to play a broadsword as well as a warrior, and it is impossible for two mages who have no combat skills to play any swordsmanship, knife skills and the like. It's just a simple wielding of the elemental blades to fight each other, and at the same time, they have released short-range spells to bombard each other!
Although they don't have any fighting skills, the staff of the two people is long and short. The blade of ice and fire that suddenly exploded and was instantly reborn was far more dangerous than the real battles of the warriors, and the various spells that broke out on both sides at short range. It also made the two almost trapped in the center of the spell explosion.
Don't forget, the Mage is a cloth armor class, and its defense against physical attacks is pitifully low, and if you are injured, the pain from the injury is likely to interrupt the cast.
This kind of peculiar mage battle not only dazzled the players around him, but also surprised Wutong, who was in the mage's spell list. It was true that there were some medium-range, close-range, and melee spells, but he rarely tried such melee combat.
Although mage melee combat brings great risk to himself, it has to be said that the effect of this melee spell combat is far more powerful than the onlookers imagine!
Wutong's eyes flashed, could this girl be the legendary "melee mage"?
No, it's not!
The so-called "melee mage" in "Endless". In fact, it is a warrior who has a part-time spellcasting profession, such as [Swift Swordsman] Leng Jiutou, and he cannot be regarded as a real mage!
Then there is only one answer to this fighting style, War Mage! The War Mage of Arcarix Academy!
The Battle Mage is an alternative among the Mages. They give up the advantage that a mage can master a large number of spells, and specialize in a small number of damaging spells, thereby increasing the cast speed and spell damage, and their form is similar to that of a warlock, but instead of relying on bloodlines to obtain spells like a warlock, they are free to choose spells like a mage.
Generally speaking, in addition to learning spell-casting ability, war mages will also learn some combat skills to match their own spells, and the guy in front of Wutong wearing a spell robe is obviously not even bothered to learn combat skills, and he uses his spell-casting ability in hand-to-hand spell combat more extremely!
After a few rounds, Sycamore has calculated the opponent's cast time! Re-chant the preparation spell, the first spell only takes 3 seconds! Tier 0 spells are almost instantaneous!! Moreover, his mastery of the rhythm of battle has reached a very subtle level, which makes him able to replenish the spells he consumed while advancing and retreating with ease!
In other words, it is actually not cost-effective for ordinary mages to fight him like this, and in the end, he will polish the prepared spells, and finally live and die... But is Sycamore an ordinary mage?
There's nothing wrong with this girl's attack being very sharp, but he's just a second-order peak junior high-level mage, and Wutong is a third-order mid-level first-level mage!
The gap is not very big, the two are only a thin line apart, in the case that Wutong can suppress his own law injury, others can't feel the difference at all, but...
The corners of Wutong's mouth curled, I played with you for a long time, and it was time for you to see what it means to "bully people", do you think the "rank suppression" in "Endless" is fake?
After swinging the [Flame Blade] to break away the opponent's [Ice Blade], Sycamore's body suddenly appeared a short pause, looking as if it was a very common state of stiffness in battle, and when he saw this vacancy, the opponent's right hand, which had been empty, suddenly waved fiercely in the air, and grabbed it towards Sycamore!
[Ice Claw]!
"Got !!"
Seeing his huge azure crampons grabbed fiercely, the spell mage's chin that was not covered by the hood showed a smug smile, at such a close distance, the protective spell on the opponent's body, which was impossible to resist the [Ice Claw] with high magic injuries, would inevitably be destroyed by the withering and decaying protection, and the bombardment would be killed to the slag!
But the next moment, the smile on his lips froze!
[Ice Claw] is not directly condensed on the mage's palm on a layer of ice, and then reach over to scratch the other party's face, so the rude method is too embarrassing for the mage, among the mage's spells, the so-called short-range spells, in fact, there is a certain distance when released, not the direct close contact of the warriors from fists to flesh, and the huge ice claws condensed out of thin air are pulled by the arcane energy controlled by the mage's waving arm, making movements similar to claws to tear apart the opponent's body.
At this moment, the [Ice Claw] of the Spell Mage was captured by a flaming [Fire Hand], which is the scene in the mage's melee combat. It can also happen, but unless the two sides are close in strength, it is possible to stalemate. It's usually one side that breaks the spell because it's weaker!
However, the [Ice Claw] that he was caught by the huge [Hand of Fire] neither harmed the opponent nor was directly shattered by the opponent's [Hand of Fire]. But he was caught by others like this, and he couldn't move!
The spell mage's eyes widened in astonishment, he actually found that his [Ice Claw] was under the control of the other party, not to mention shattered, and there was not even a sign of melting!
How is this possible?
How could ice and fire get along so peacefully?
Then there is only one answer, and that is that the opponent's magic control ability has reached a point that he simply cannot imagine, so that the [Hand of Fire] and his [Ice Claw] have a delicate balance. As a result, his [Ice Claw] will not be able to crush the opponent's [Flaming Hand], and the opponent's [Flaming Hand] will not melt his [Ice Claw]!
Can you even control the temperature of the flame as you like?
The Spell Mage raised his head sharply, and looked in horror at the Grey Cloak Mage in front of him, whose face was also hidden by the hood!
Some panicked and put pressure on the staff, trying to force the opponent to put away the [Flame Blade] and retreat, but he ignored one thing, do you think the confrontation between the mage's spells is a power struggle between warriors?
Contacts between spells and spells. It completely relies on the mage's own magic control ability to operate, and it has nothing to do with the strength of a copper coin, at most, if you hold the staff for too long, you will feel a little soreness in your arm.
The Spell Mage exerted pressure on the [Blade of Ice], but was unable to shake the opponent's [Blade of Fire]. But as long as his side relaxes a little, the opponent's [Flame Blade] will be unceremoniously suppressed... If he can't stop him, then he'll be dead like the players who fought him and were split in half by his [Ice Blade]!
The rivers and lakes are getting older and older, and the courage is getting smaller and smaller.
There is a joke among the players, saying that the higher the level, the more afraid of death, it is true, high-end players who have reached their level, once they hang up once, the loss can be more than one or two points, in addition to the rare equipment of a body may explode, their skills, skills, rank level, may be greatly reduced, directly from the "master" of the god position!
Therefore, the more high-end players with high level and good equipment, the more important they pay to their own lives, and they will not be willing to hang up easily. How much is face worth? Once the mage is hanged, it is not just a gold coin or two that will be lost!
The arms of the spell mage holding the staff began to tremble a little, both arms were controlled by the other party, whether it was which hand could not support it, he was a broken bone, he felt that his energy value was rapidly consumed because of the maintenance of [Ice Claw], he began to be a little scared, this situation where both hands were occupied, even if he wanted to find out the energy replenishment potion to drink a mouthful, and wanted to release the spell, he couldn't move because his hands were occupied!
Are you going to be consumed alive?
There was a flash in the spell mage's eyes, and his mink pet suddenly jumped out and pounced on the other party's face!
The spell mage who pressed the [Ice Blade] and [Ice Claw] gritted his teeth fiercely, "I don't believe you don't flash in this situation!" ”
It won't flash! Are you the only one who has a pet?
A dark red pseudo-dragon suddenly appeared in front of the sable demon pet that pounced, opened its mouth, bitten, clicked! Gaba crispy! Chicken flavor!
The pseudo-dragon bar clicked his mouth, stretched out his long blood-red tongue and licked his sharp fangs and lips, glanced at the stunned spell mage, slowly fluttered his wings, and flew behind the gray cloak mage, looking lively with great interest, and kept looking at him with sympathetic eyes!
The spell mage, who had almost collapsed, hurriedly re-resisted the [Flame Hand] and [Flame Blade] that had been pressed down, and was stunned himself: "Nima! How do I see sympathy in the eyes of a pseudo-dragon? ”
His own demon pet hung up, and the distressed spell mage roared angrily: "You stupid. Force! When are you going to see the play!? ”
The surrounding circle of [Mocha Hunting Group] members froze for a moment, and the boss was unhappy: Nima! You two mages have a good long-range profession, you have to fight in close range, looking at your "wrestling" seems to be evenly matched, who knows when to go up to help you?
Slander is slander, but his companion is obviously unable to withstand it, and it is not good not to save it, a wanderer who also has a golden Moyun emblem appearing behind the sycamore in a flash, and the murderous [broken spine] pierced down.
"Boom!"
The wanderer who missed the blow leaped away with a quick leap, and looked at the enemy in front of him in horror, he had just been completely unaware of the appearance of another wanderer behind the gray cloak mage!!
The same wanderer in a gray cloak, after blocking the attack for the gray cloak mage, he did not pursue, but silently put away the dagger, walked to the side and hugged his arms to watch the play, and after he got out of the way, the others saw that behind the gray cloak mage, there was actually more than one person, in addition to the gray cloak wanderer just now, there was actually an elf girl with a blank face carrying a huge war scythe!
Behind the Grey Cloak Wanderer, a large group of players were squeezed out of the crowd, giggling and watching the show.
