Chapter 46: The Attack
After this incident, the contradictions within the Magic Society have approached a critical point, and all kinds of disputes between the three major factions have been completely stimulated, and their respective minions hidden in the darkness have been revealed...... But the enemies of these "minions" used for deterrence are not the Eternal Temple, but former partners.
In contrast to the turmoil in the outside world, Victor, who was at the center of the impending storm, was in no idea about consolidating his newly promoted mage rank in his residence, and by the way, he used his spare time to compare and study the knowledge of the scientific system and the current connection between the arcane system, and used it to perfect the paper he wanted to publish.
One morning, half a month later, Victor, dressed in the robes of a classical mage, walked out of his residence with his manuscript of his dissertation.
"What's going on? Is it my delusion? ”
Victor, who was walking on the road to the Tower of Babel, soon noticed that there was an unusually oppressive atmosphere in this floating city, and he could not have imagined...... The source of all this will actually be yourself!
"Sorry to bother you!"
Victor was stopped by a well-mannered young mage, "Are you Mr. Victor Tisrael?" ”
"Yes, what's the matter with you?"
Victor looked at the young mage in front of him suspiciously.
"Great! Are you really the winner of the Sistir Honor Award – Mr. Victor Tisrael? ”
The young mage stared at Victor with a burning gaze, and he took two steps forward, outstretched his hands and embraced them, like a fanatical admirer.
"Hehe, don't ...... like that"
Victor, who was not used to non-essential physical contact with strangers, instinctively took a small step back when he encountered this situation.
“…… Our Lord is ...... eternal"
The young mage seemed unwilling to give up this opportunity, and he continued to hug Victor "persistently", muttering something in his mouth.
At this moment, Victor felt that the hair on the back of his neck stood on end! A feeling of extreme danger came from the strange young mage in front of him.
"Inferior spells are invalid enchantments."
Intuition caused Victor to subconsciously activate the constant four-ring spell on the "Ring of the Founder", and at the same time, a powerful explosion was sent out from the young mage's body.
This attack in the blink of an eye, under the effect of the talent "Data Analysis - Combat Support", turned into a series of slow motion, showing in Victor's field of vision.
Three orange-red fireballs erupted from the shoulders and chest of the smiling young mage with his arms in the shape of a hug, and as he grew from small to large, Victor could clearly see that the smiling face of the young mage was scorched and charred by the heat, and the annular shock wave from the explosion tore its limbs apart......
When the heat and shock wave from the explosion were about to engulf Victor's body, the "Lesser Spell Nullity Enchantment" was successfully activated, and a magic ball emitting a shimmering light surrounded Victor's body. Within the ten-foot spherical area illuminated by the shimmering light, the orange-red light and shock wave silently disappeared like melted snow and ice.
"Boom!"
The explosion that followed rang in Victor's ears, causing his mind to ring.
"Shift."
Staggering back two steps, Victor didn't stay still as soon as he got rid of the roar, activating his defensive spell and rushing towards the shop on the side of the road.
At that moment, fifty or sixty missiles of dark blue magical energy flew out of the buildings on both sides of the street, and they arced gracefully in midair, trailing long trails, and crashing into the running Victor with a whistling sound.
"Woo Woo Woo ......"
About half of the magic missiles actually pierced through Victor's illusory body and rained down on the stone streets, while the other half of the magic missiles turned around and hit the real Victor in an "S" shaped trajectory.
However, under the protection of the "Lesser Spell Nullification Enchantment", these attacks did not cause any damage to Victor.
A tumble, and Victor tumbled slightly into the shop on the side of the road.
"Are you alright, sir? What's going on out there? ”
A middle-aged man hiding behind the counter of the shop poked his head out slightly, and asked in a trembling voice.
"It's okay! You hid behind the counter first......"
Victor replied as he looked sideways at the shop, and when he saw the middle-aged man, he suddenly felt a trance.
The middle-aged man in his field of vision suddenly became amiable, and Victor had an inexplicable feeling in his heart - it seemed that the shopkeeper hiding behind the counter was the person he was closest to and trusted. But why are his eyes red?
"Victor, come here! Let's hide behind the counter together...... It's safe here! ”
At the anxious call of the shopkeeper, a dazed Victor walked blankly towards the location where the voice came from.
Suddenly, a shiver struck!
The "mechanized mind" played its due role at this critical juncture, and Victor's eyes immediately returned to their scenity.
"Projectile items."
In the middle-aged man's slightly surprised gaze, a "hellfire" fell at his feet.
"Victor, give up resistance! I don't know how you managed to get rid of the illusion I cast, but your dying throes are useless...... Yes! What is this!! ”
The middle-aged man who had cast the high-level defensive spell didn't care about the "hellfire" that fell at his feet, and by the time he finished firing his mouth cannon and realized that something was wrong, it was already too late......
The incandescent flames attached to the defensive spells were burning violently, quickly burning through this translucent layer of "High Mage Armor"!
When a little spark falls on the skin of a middle-aged man, with his clapping hands, this spark perfectly interprets the phrase "a spark can start a prairie fire......
The flames that could not be extinguished, the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the middle-aged man's mouth let out a scream of fear!
Under Victor's watchful eye, the "Burning Man" rolls around the shop, causing even more flames......
"Victor! I'm Rosa...... The Ministry of Internal Affairs has taken complete control of the area, and now it is safe! ”
Hearing the call from the street, Victor did not rush to answer.
After repeated confirmations, Victor, who was wearing multiple defense spells, walked out of the burning shop.
