(New books ask for recommendation votes, comrades!) Seeking to make the list!! Thank you to the three alliance leaders for their support, and thank you to all the relatives and friends who have rewarded, I kneel down here to thank you! )
The 27th second of the trial.
With just a blow to the ground, the crystal square, which was as delicate as a work of art, fell apart in the flames. Faced with the clumsy trap hastily constructed by the mercenary, the Flame Warrior didn't even look at it, and swung a flash of fire from his backhand. He turned the dozens of cubic meters of construction waste into a ball of burning lava and rushed towards the mercenary's position. The original trap took a heavy toll on the mercenaries. Dozens of mercenaries fled in the square, hoping to pass the time.
At this time, there were 46 mercenaries left.
The 41st second of the trial.
The Flame Warrior was surrounded by solid-like flames, and the body of the bard's mercenary on the spear was gradually licked into charred by the flames. This lucky woman, who had mastered a certain amount of spatial jumping ability, did not escape the chase of the flames, although she escaped several punctures. Pierced from behind by a spear of flames, it kills with one blow. The surrounding players can only use the effect of the magic city to create various ice crystals in vain, hoping to hinder the movement of the flames and strive to gain a greater advantage.
At this time, there were 31 mercenaries left.
Trial 1 minute and 16 seconds.
The magic apprentice who petrified himself turned into a flaming mass of slag in the third shot. The original masonry plaza has been turned into a pool of magma. In the midst of those flames, the clever mercenaries used the power of magic and began to practice the double jump technique under their feet. But he was pierced from mid-air by the flame warrior like a bird.
At this time, there were 24 mercenaries left.
Trial 2 minutes and 11 seconds.
The mercenaries, who had gradually learned how to attack, began to look for obstacles in the square, and began to stop the seemingly invincible warrior with arc strikes. Under the layers of interception by the mercenaries, the frequency of the flame's attack gradually decreased, and even the flame armor began to be hit by the mercenaries in some places, bursting out a little spark, causing the mercenaries to cheer for a while. And the Akon who was in the rune circle looked at the raging flame warrior who slowly stagnated, and gradually showed a smile.
At this time, there were 9 mercenaries left.
Trial 2 minutes and 59 seconds.
Amid the cheers of the last four mercenaries, the glow of the flame faded into Anta's relieved smile. As agreed, three minutes passed. The seemingly invincible warrior only flickered with light in his pupils, and then turned into a cloud of dust in the inexplicable breeze. After determining the death of the enemy, Anta exhaled and fell to his knees. The other three mercenaries also gasped for breath and sat down on the ground despite the heat on the ground.
At this time, there are 4 mercenaries left.
"Cheng, I succeeded, I actually managed to survive......"
Looking at the dust that remained on the ground, Anta wiped the sweat from his forehead and knelt on the scorching ground panting, with a bright smile on his face that he had escaped death. It was the first time he had been so embarrassed, and for the first time in his life, he had truly realized what a joy it was to escape death.
No monster had ever posed such a massive threat to him. The slightest mistake is one's own ruin, and if you take one wrong step, the spear of flame will pierce your heart. He could see that the warrior was just killing the flawed people.
And at the end of this battlefield, there are only four of them who still haven't revealed their fatal flaws. It's Anta himself and three other mercenaries who look embarrassed. To be honest, even if it was three more seconds, just three seconds, Anta's heart would probably be pierced by that bloodless and tearless monster. But luckily, he survived. Along with the other four mercenaries, they survived from the monster's grasp.
"You're doing a great job, very well. I take back the phrase that you are waste. You've been able to survive in the phantom of a Flame Warrior for so long, and you're already a very good talent. Although the average level of that Flame Warrior is the same as yours, he is a legendary warrior after all, and you have done a great job. I recognize your power. ”
At this moment, a sarcastic-sounding applause came from the black-robed mage's hand. The energy-filled rune circle collapsed layer by layer. The black-robed mage walked out of the barrier with a smile on his face, pulling up the mercenaries.
"You goddamn bastard, you killed my friend!"
But one of the mercenaries brutally pushed his palm away and looked at the mage with an angry expression.
"My friend was just killed by that monster! It didn't make any sense, just being killed by that monster like that! You've got to give me an explanation! Mage! ”
"Your friend? Don't worry at all. ”
Looking at the mercenaries with somewhat gloomy faces, Akon, the black-robed mage, explained with a smile on his face.
"You don't have to worry about your friends, dying here is just like a fantasy, it only causes vertigo."
With a smile on his face, Akon sighed inwardly as he watched the hint that his mission was completed and the rewards began to accumulate.
"After all, it's impossible to die, how can you kill people in the trial scene......
Temporary site construction, temporary energy addition, summoning magical creatures, these three axes are something that academics must learn. After all, the strength of a mage lies in positional warfare and preparation. Under the temporary site construction, although it is not as powerful as directly in the mage tower, it can still change the landscape to a certain extent, and turn the bad environment into your own side.
This time, he took advantage of the infinite mana value to directly open the magic city of Endymion, and then used the bonus value of the leyline circuit to summon the angry flame warrior Colgan, which can be regarded as Akon himself to test the theory. The results were perfect, and no mercenary could resist their own spell deck combinations. Even if it's just three, no one can stop their spells. When the venue was replaced, the mercenaries panicked, not considering the possibility of escape or interception.
He didn't even need any of the other killer tricks in his deck, and he could win by simply summoning a Flame Warrior. This made Akon very satisfied with his original choice. But there are also shortcomings...... The cost of spells is simply too high.
"So let's get back to reality."
Looking at the mana drain in the status bar, Akon grinned and reached out to cancel Endymion's summons.
As if a mirror had been broken, under the stunned gaze of the mercenaries, the city that was originally full of glow gradually shattered and fell apart, gradually revealing the mercenary hall hidden in the rear. And the mercenaries, who had thought they were dead, were lying in a mess in the hall, their faces still frozen in the panic of the magic city.
As he said, no one gets hurt. All of them were traumatized and fainted. It only takes a few dozen minutes for them to recover. Then you see a message that your task has failed. But they can also get some compensation. After all, the fact that there are no rewards for regional missions is such a wonderful thing. Even if you are knocked out of the field in the first place, you will still get some great rewards, which are considered your participation awards.
"It looks like the children's magic is amazing." The old mage who was standing in place smiled, walked over with his hands behind his back, ignored the embarrassed mercenaries, and walked directly in front of Akon. There seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Replacing a world, this technology can be called a swan song. If it had been hundreds of years ago, it would have been sealed. But now is certainly not the kind of time to be unreasonable. But I'm still odd enough, I seem to have seen this kind of spell during the Library Wars. Powerful, invincible, as if magical dream-like spells...... Vortex of the roots. ”
The old man said, staring into Akon's eyes. As if to identify his soul, a wonderful light flashed in the old man's single eye.
"Don't you think that spell is really beautiful?"
"I'm sure you must be mistaken." Akon said categorically, "I didn't participate in any library wars, and this method was only developed by me from some ancient books. It's not a particularly rare technology."
"Really? Then just say that to everyone in the future. ”
Facing Akon's serious face, the old mage just smiled and handed him a blank contract scroll.
"That guy really offended a lot of people in the library wars. Bracada Academy, the Traveling Mage Association, and a group of top archmages were all furious. And ah, don't think that the status of a sage is something so easy to obtain. This group of mercenaries is just the beginning, and he has to face a lot of things beyond imagination. It's not just the mission itself, it's something else. ”
“…… What do you mean? ”
Taking the rune contract, Akon looked at the old mage who had called out the gate of smoke and dust and asked a little strangely.
"I didn't say anything, old man. But I suggest you think carefully about what a sage means, boy. If you just have power, how can you be called a sage? If you only have knowledge, why do you become a sage? ”
"Isn't it just a inheritance profession?"
"No, of course not. The sage is the greatest sage. Now you are far from being able to talk about this name. Be careful not to get killed by the other archmages, they are not as magnanimous as I am. Because someone is too arrogant in the library wars. The de-decade library war wasn't something that people of that rank could participate in at all, but he was victorious, and some of the old guys might not be able to sit still...... I sometimes can't sit still, too. ”
All in all, the news has spread, you can see what to do.
Faced with Akon's question, the old man smiled dryly, shook his head, and walked through the door of the smoke and dust. Only a black-robed mage covered in cold sweat was left standing in place, his face pale, and his heart was filled with a mixture of shock and pride.
He wasn't feeling scared or confused, on the contrary, Akon felt like his whole body was about to burn.
The world's top honor, this task, is indeed a stepping stone to the upper echelons.
No, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the upper echelon in itself.
Then it is not far from the fulfillment of your wishes.
Looking at the mercenaries waiting behind him, Akon clenched his fists hard and smiled.
'Ah, but I forgot to mention that he didn't just provoke mages. But then again, can lichs and vampires and dragon elves be mages? It should all be counted in the range of mages, right? After all, they are all inheritors of knowledge. ’
Feeling the fiery soul fluctuations of the young man behind him, the old man shook his head and left the hall.
