"Activate the shield!" Gordon let out a loud shout, and a dark golden vulture-shaped shield suddenly appeared out of thin air. It floated in mid-air, blocking in front of Gordon's body, emitting a subtle humming sound, and the entire wide, sleek edges were covered with a pale green film of lightβthe wind element, and the key factor that allowed the shield to activate and levitate.
Mithril is four times stronger than the finest steel, but only one-fifth denser, and has an excellent affinity for arcane energy, making it a top-of-the-line material for making magical equipment.
Faced with a large number of enemies from his side, Gordon sacrificed this newly created magical item for the first time.
Among the group brought by Mane were eighteen armed sailors, who were only at the level of first-class warriors, but they were only a little stronger than ordinary people. There are also six men wearing chain mail and holding long swords and log shields, which should be at the level of squad leaders, and it is estimated that they can reach the standard of a fourth-level warrior. As for the mane, he pulled two daggers from his waist and licked his lips with his tongue on a longing expression. Gordon had some impression of his degree, and he should be a wanderer of at least level six.
"Shella, cover me." Gordon whispered, then pulled a scroll from his waist.
Esoteric and active magical syllables reverberate in the cramped and gloomy sewers. Shellaya had learned Arcane from Gordon a few times, and she could tell that the spells Gordon was using were more complex than the previous ones and required a longer preparation time.
"Hurry up and stop him from casting spells!" The mane's expression changed slightly, and he pushed the two sword-wielding sailors in front of him forward, and then he bent down in the dim passage, turned into a black shadow, and pounced on the target.
Seeing the enemy rushing from all around, Shella, in order to buy enough time for Gordon, clenched her teeth, took out four iron balls from the leather bag on her waist, and slammed them into the ground in front of her. The thin shell of the iron ball exploded in the cold, filthy ground, and in an instant, flames soared into the sky, and an almost impenetrable wall of fire surrounded the two Gordons, blocking out all enemies.
Although the Ranger majored in archery, he also had a certain degree of attainment in melee weapons and trap weapons. Almost every Ranger will carry some unique hidden weapon with them in case they need it.
"These wall bombs are what I used to respond to life!" Thinking about the gold she had lost, Shellaya hated her and vented her anger on her enemies.
She fired three arrows in a row, and through the wall of fire, the screams of those who were hit by the arrows kept coming.
Seeing that the chanting was about to be finished, Gordon's heart suddenly rose sharply, and as soon as his mind moved, the activation shield immediately shifted its position and protected the left front.
Almost at the same time, metal slammed, sparks burst, and two clanging clicks came from the shield.
"Damn it!" The mane emerges from the darkness. Because of the wall of fire, he couldn't get close to Gordon, so he could only throw a dagger to hurt people in a stealthy state, who knew that the other party seemed to have the ability of an unpredictable prophet, commanding the activation shield to completely block his attack.
Gordon breathed a sigh of relief. In the previous battle, he drank a bottle of "Defeat the Enemy" potion, who knew that the second battle would come so quickly, and now the effect of the potion has not disappeared, so he still has a keen insight into the enemy's next attack.
The private soldiers of the Ritter family gathered in front of the wall of fire and could not advance. They stared at the two Gordons, and when the flames waned, they rushed forward and stabbed them apart.
Unfortunately, before the wall of fire disappeared, Gordon had finished reading the magic scroll. The reason why it took a long time was because the magic scroll that Gordon was reading was the four-ring spell "Ava Black Tentacles". Mages must be extremely cautious and cautious when using scrolls that are higher than their own spell-casting ability, otherwise it is easy to lose control of high-level arcane energy and be counterattacked. This four-ring magic scroll was obtained from Hao Lin's dimensional bag, and it should have been purchased by the spell mage with a lot of money to save his life. But now, it has become a big killer for Gordon to turn the tide of the war.
The spell energy in the scroll was perfectly extracted by Gordon, and several black droplets flew out of Gordon's hand and sank into the ground, and then, dozens of huge tentacles that were as thick as an adult's waist, with suckers and barbs growing on them, rose from the ground and began to violently whip a living creature within the range.
Screams echoed in the small space. A single tentacle blow can knock a strong man flying. If someone is unfortunate enough to be entangled, then they can only make a burst of bone cracks that make people's hairs stand on end in the twisting of tentacles getting tighter and tighter, and then die tragically.
The armed sailors, who had only vests to cover their bodies, were the most killed and wounded. Only the six strong squad leaders equipped with shield chain mail, as well as Mane himself, were able to resist the attacks of the tentacles and stabilize the battle after forming a defensive formation. The Black Tentacles of Ava Black can't last long, each caster level can only provide a one-minute duration, and Gordon's current battle situation is deadlocked, and if it continues to drag on, it will be himself who loses.
He gestured, chanted a spell, and pointed at his enemy: "Giant Magic!" β
Mane's body was immediately enveloped in a green light, and his body suddenly became larger, his height doubled, and his weight increased eightfold. The six shield-wielding warriors who were originally lined up in a dense defensive formation were completely disrupted by this sudden change. The mane suddenly grew and pushed the accomplices around him to the side, and the formation suddenly appeared flawed.
The black tentacles seemed to be psychic, sensing the enemy's confusion, and immediately followed with a jerk.
Mega is originally a buff spell that increases the target's body weight, strength, and health, but decreases agility and evasion. This spell is usually used on allied tanks such as the Heavy Warrior, allowing them to better attract enemies in front and protect the back.
However, in some cases, it can also be very effective when used on enemies.
The mane that has grown larger is unexpectedly tenacious, and after the Ava Black tentacles wiped out all his subordinates, he actually relied on his own strength and the increased strength of the spell to break a tentacle wrapped around his waist and fight his way out of the encirclement.
"Bastard! I didn't expect these two guys to be so difficult. Looks like I'll have to retreat first. When reinforcements are found, I will kill them in the most brutal way, especially the woman! β
The mane flew like a fly, quickly escaping the range of the tentacles. It's a pity that he underestimated the inconvenience caused by his huge size, and his escape degree was reduced a lot. Suddenly, Mane felt a heart-piercing pain in his ankles, and he couldn't exert any more strength, his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground. He was shocked in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw that an arrow had sunk deep into his right ankle, and the feathers at the end of the arrow were still trembling under the influence of the remaining force.
"Rao...... Spare your life. The arrogance of the mane had long been dispelled by the fear of death, and he begged when he saw Shella, who was walking towards him with a bow on her face.
"Spare you? And then hello to scourge other girls? Shella's lips pursed, and she let go of the bowstring.
The arrow plunged into Mane's throat with precision, and he fell to the ground like mud, twitching a few times, not moving.
"Revenge, satisfied?" Gordon smiled.
Shellaya nodded, not speaking. Although she did not suffer substantial losses, what happened today was definitely a great shame in her adventurer career. Now that she has killed the culprit with her own hands, Shellaya is finally relieved.
Because of the use of a four-ring scroll, Gordon felt a little tired mentally. After checking the experience gained in battle, he is now only 5oo experience away from reaching level 4.
"Sure enough, fighting is the fastest way to level up, but it's a pity that the risk is too great."
"Let's go," Gordon patted the half-elf ranger on the shoulder, "and soon we will be within range of communication, and we will succeed." β
β¦β¦
Holin Heidebergh walked alone in the filthy, damp, dark, cramped, rotten sewers. He didn't care about such a harsh environment, and he didn't care about the shouts of killing coming from far and near from all directions.
Gordon succeeded after all. He was encircled and suppressed by several teams of men, and successfully spread the news. About fifteen minutes ago, Count Julian, the lord of Blue Water City, personally led a huge force composed of the Temple of Dawn, the Platinum Temple, the Sheriff's Office, and the City Guard, and launched an attack on the Ritter family forces hiding in the sewers.
All the sewer entrances and exits in the city were blocked, and a fleet of three ballista gunboats was arriving from the naval camp at Fort Talis, thirty miles away, to block the river. No one can escape, only to be killed one by one by the sword that represents the power of the state and the power of justice.
The enemy is justice? Evil yourself? Maybe, who cares.
Hao Lin sneered in his heart, he only had one purpose now, and that was to kill Gordon Freeman.
He stopped and looked, and there were only two exits around, and four walls enclosed a rectangular open space.
"Gordon, get out of here." Hao Lin's hoarse voice contained bloody killing intent.
A young black man in a mage's robe stepped out of the shadows of the intersection ahead. Beside him, followed by a ranger girl with a hot body.
"It's no surprise to see you here. It looks like you've completely surrendered to the Ritter family. Well, in addition to spells, you also have a good grasp of the Prophecy School spells, Hao Lin. Otherwise it would not have been possible to find me so quickly. Gordon said. Despite the frequent battles, his mage robes were stained with blood and stains, and his whole person looked a little tired wolf. But his expression was very calm, as if everything was under control.
Hao Lin laughed gloomily, like a ghost dressed in flesh and blood: "Although I lost to you last time, I am not what I used to be. β
He glanced at Shellaya with blood-red eyes: "Although you have a helper, however, the numerical advantage is not on your side. β
Hao Lin raised his hands, and his wide-sleeved robe slipped off, revealing his thin arms. On the pale skin, three strange magical lines bloomed with an orange-red glow like abyssal lava.
Three large, humanoid creatures with thick forearms hanging straight down to the ground appeared beside Hao Lin. Their muscles are as strong as iron, and they contain explosive power. The fur was a dull red, and the thick nostrils were filled with the smell of sulfur.
"Infernal gorillas." Gordon recognized the type of summoned monster at a glance.
