Chapter 100: Cruelty to the Dragon
The moment he saw the Wind Blade, Link recognized it as Wind Magic: Storm Blade.
Storm Blade
Level 3 magic
Function: Condense the power of the wind to form three extremely sharp wind knives, when the wind knives hit the target, they will automatically shatter into countless fine wind knives, covering a range of ten meters.
(Note: On the battlefield, it's called a meat grinder)
For ordinary people, this magic is impossible to dodge, as long as it is encountered, even if it dodges the direct attack of the giant wind knife, when facing the subsequent shattering wind knife, it is certain to die, but for magicians, as long as they prepare the same level of defensive magic in advance, this storm knife array is much easier to deal with than other magic of the same level.
The reason is simple, this magic attack is too scattered and extremely easy to dodge.
With the addition of edelweiss, Link was naturally not afraid of the attack of this three-level wind knife, and he immediately began to fight back, but this time, the opponent was hiding in the dense forest, and Link could only determine the approximate range through the previous magic energy fluctuations.
At this time, he needed a powerful range of offensive magic, and as soon as his thoughts turned, Link had an idea, what other magic could be more suitable for the current situation than a level 4 fire explosion technique?
Like the Wind Blade, the Flame Burst is also an area attack magic, and the level is one level higher than that of the Storm Knife Array. This fire blast technique, Link released with a matchstick, of course, is not as powerful as Greenstone's fire blast, but it is not to be underestimated.
Because the flame burst is a level 4 magic, the regular casting speed is too slow, at least more than two seconds, and it is very likely that the opponent will take advantage of it, so Link decisively used the Dominic Crystal.
When he was in Riverdale, he happened to fill this fast crystal with a fire element of the Flame Explosion Technique, and he used it at this time.
The demonic energy in his body surged wildly, quickly flowing into the matchsticks, and finally condensed into an extremely complex fireburst magic structure in the air in front of the fire crystal.
At the same moment, under the huge attraction of the Flame Explosion Technique, the Domink Crystal began to glow, and the fire element that had been stored in Riverdale Town surged out, and under the shock of the magic energy structure, it resonated violently, and quickly reorganized into a Flame Burst Fireball.
In the process, Link did not stay in the carriage, before the wind knife hit the carriage, he opened the door and jumped out of the carriage, and he chose a very particular direction, which happened to be in the gap between the three wind knives.
In doing so, he avoided this moment when the level 3 magic was at its most powerful, and then he only needed to face some fine wind knives.
There was a whistling sound in his ears, and two translucent wind knives with a slight tinge of cyan slashed past his side, and a slight wind blew into the Edelweiss defense field, curling Link's black hair, and when his feet touched the ground, the wind knives hit the carriage target behind him.
A piece of the cart is cut in half, a piece of the cart is cut in half, a piece of the cart is cut into the horse, the two thoroughbred horses are directly divided into four pieces, and the last piece is cut to the coachman, who is cut in half from the middle of the body.
Then, there was a dull sound of 'bang bang bang', it was the sound of wind knives shattering, the howling of the wind suddenly became violent, the air was filled with countless small wind knives, and the corpses of carriages, people and horses were constantly cut by this array of splintering knives, turning into minced meat and powder at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There were also countless small wind knives that hit Link's Edelweiss magic shield, and the elements and force fields kept clashing, and the outer layer of Edelweiss flashed frequently, which was the energy that kept colliding.
It is also a third-level magic, one is the end of the strong crossbow, and the other is almost intact, and the Shattered Wind Knife Array can't break through the edelweiss, and Link is extremely safe.
In the next moment, Link finally stood on his feet, and almost at the same time, the matchstick in his hand shot a dazzling white light in the direction where the Storm Blade was flying, and a bright white line suddenly extended from the tip of the wand.
If you slow down, you can see an incandescent fireball the size of a football, and around the fireball, there is a translucent billowing heat wave, which is a meter in diameter, which shows the high temperature of the fireball.
With this Flame Blast, Link spent 1.1 seconds casting time, which was unimaginably fast.
About half a second later, the fireball rushed into the woods and exploded!
'Boom~~~~~~
There was an earth-shattering bang, the earth trembled, a circle of white shock waves visible to the naked eye appeared in the air, the trees in the Gwent Forest trembled with shock, and the birds flew away in a black area.
In the midst of this loud roar, Link heard a faint scream mixed with it.
He knew that his magic had hit his opponent and had done damage to him.
It's normal to think about it, 1.1 seconds of level 4 magic, how fast, what a terrifying counterattack, even if Link himself faced this attack, it must be the result of being beaten to his knees on the spot.
Because unprepared, there are very few mages on this continent who can build a level 4 defense magic in 1.1 seconds, unless he has powerful magic equipment, or has a corresponding defense Dominque crystal.
The dense woods in front of the explosion were blown up in a mess, the big trees in the center of the explosion were directly blown off, and a half-meter-deep pit appeared five meters around, and the plants on the edge of the pit caught fire and made a 'crackling' sound.
Link walked over to inspect the battlefield, he wanted to see who the guy who sneaked up on him was, who could send out level 3 magic, this shouldn't be a nobody.
Accidents inevitably happened, and before that, Link blessed himself with cat speed, and the edelweiss magic was released again.
Walking over slowly, in the pit, Link didn't see the body, he looked for the periphery again, the grass and trees outside the pit were burning, naturally it was impossible to hide people, Link continued to look outside, and after a big circle, he finally found a broken corpse that could almost be called under a big tree No, it's not a corpse, this guy is still alive.
He leaned weakly against the tree, his clothes were charred and blackened, only a few strands of rags hung on his body, his bare skin was also jet black, and his skin was scorched in large areas, and he clutched a wand tightly in his hand, which was already shattered, and only half of it was left.
Hearing the movement, his originally slightly closed eyes slowly opened and looked at Link, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat: "Why are you bursting?" Why is your Fire Burst so fast? β
The other party is so young, but only 17 years old, why can he master level 4 magic? Level 4 magic, why is it so fast to cast spells?
None of this is in line with the common sense of magic, and he is defeated in vain, and he can't figure it out!
If the opponent is like other magicians, a fireburst takes 3 seconds to complete, he will definitely have time to counter the opponent's cast, or even kill the opponent before the spell is finished, and no matter how bad it is, he will not be as miserable as he is now.
But it all happened so fast.
He had just released the Storm Knife Array, and before he had time to check the effect of the attack, the other party directly threw back a fireball, he thought it was just a level 3 fireball at first, but if he hadn't instinctively blessed himself with a level 2 defensive magic guardian enchantment before casting the spell, he estimated that his body would be directly shattered.
It felt like a pig waiting to be slaughtered in front of him, but the pig turned into a dragon and knocked him, the hunter, to the ground.
This psychological gap is too big.
Link's eyes were fixed on the shattered wand in his hand, and he said with some confusion, "Are you Daris?" β
The slightly cyan rod was made of heavy green wood, and Link saw Daris take it out at the magic tower, so he naturally recognized it at a glance.
Daris didn't answer, his blood-red eyes stared straight at Link: "Answer my question, let me die to understand!" β
This was already Link's guess, his mind was racing, and he instantly figured out the other party's plan, and at this time he answered the question: "Since you did it to me, then you must have investigated my affairs in Riverdale Town and determined my identity." I've only used level 2 magic before, so you'd think I'm a level 2 magician. You used the level 3 wind system to attack the magic storm knife array, and you also sneaked up on me through the carriage, this magic is not to kill me at once, but to keep me alive, so that you can ask some questions, such as what is behind me. After that, you will definitely kill me, and you will already show your murderous intent by killing the coachman, I think, you must be ready to wipe me out and the people behind me, right? β
Darys looked at Link in horror, because the other party had exactly said what he thought, as if he could see his soul.
As soon as he saw Darys like this, Link knew he had guessed right, and smiled, "The only thing you missed is my magical powers." β
Speaking of this, Link raised his wand, the tip of the wand on Daris's forehead, and his expression turned cold: "Daris, your mentor is studying dark arts, and you are his assistant, right?" β
"Yes and what? My guru just doesn't want to die, it doesn't affect anyone else at all, why should he be punished? Darys didn't want to die, but reason told him he was going to die this time, and he screamed with all his might, driven by fear.
Link shook his head: "Is it really no effect?" Then look what you've done! The coachman, what's wrong with him? He lives as he should, he is the husband of a woman, the father of a child, the son of a father, he may be the pillar of the family's life, you say kill it, how can you bear it! β
"He's just a pariah! What if you die? Daris said harshly, but there was something lacking in his words.
"Oh, what a pariah. As I remember, you also came from a family of untouchables. How? Learned a little magic and even forgot about your old bottom? Link sneered.
Daris had nothing to say, and his neck stiffened: "You kill me." You're the winner, whatever you say, it makes sense! β
"Hehe, you're wrong again. I'm not going to kill you! Link shook his head: "What you did today is ironclad evidence that Bell studied the dark arts." I'll take you back to the Academy of Magic! β
As soon as these words came out, Daris finally became frightened, and he shouted loudly: "No, I can't go back, I can't fail my mentor, kill me!" β
Tried at the East Valley Academy of Magic, his name will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Academy of Magic forever, he will be stripped of his magical powers, become an ordinary person, and then be tried by an ordinary person's court for his murder, and may finally be pulled to the guillotine.
He will be stinking for 10,000 years, which is a hundred times more terrifying than death for a high magician!
As he spoke, the demonic energy in his body surged, and depending on the situation, he actually committed suicide with magic.
Link sneered and kicked Darys' neck, knocking him unconscious.
"Selfish and hypocritical, he likes to find high-sounding reasons to decorate the faΓ§ade. Can't live up to the mentor? I don't think you can live up to yourself. β
At this step, news flashed in Link's vision, and when he opened it, he saw that the task of investigating Bell had been completed.
