Chapter 244: Self-Explosion
After Sigma's figure disappeared into the different rooms, Benny reacted to what was going on, and in a moment, he walked around in front of the gate of hell, he felt afraid, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but he was originally living a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and his psychological essence had already been exercised far beyond ordinary people, so he quickly calmed down, and when the pain in his chest eased a little, he struggled to stand up and muttered: "Tsk, I owe another life...... But if my guess is correct, this adult is the one, and when I think about it this way, it makes no difference, anyway, this life would have been sold to his family a long time ago......"
He remembered Sigma's instructions before leaving, struggled out of the corner, and the younger brothers who were far behind heard the movement here, and had already rushed over, saw the scorched black marks on the ground, smelled the strange smell in the air, and saw that his boss was covered with mud on his clean clothes, and there was a huge footprint on his chest. Panicked towards the boss's mouth.
Benny was a little moved, raised his foot and kicked open a second goods who was eager to stuff the potion and the bottle into his mouth, and scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu is not dead yet, don't howl!" Let's go, let's go to the West End. β
Panicked footsteps sounded again on the street corner, and everyone seemed to be facing a great enemy, but they saw a cowering figure glancing at a few people in fear, and then ran away quickly, and someone tried to stop them, but Benny reached out to stop them: "It's just a thief." β
The man was the thief who had been saved by Benny, and the street corner was dimly lit. Benny didn't come closer, and couldn't see the thief's appearance clearly, but at this time, he looked at it. He is not the thin and frail child he imagined, but an adult, no wonder those people beat him so hard, he looks sound with his hands and feet, and his body is not weak, such a person is willing to be a thief.
"Thief?" A pony spat on the ground. "It's really unproductive."
If it were in normal times, Benny would definitely stop and educate him when he saw this kind of self-depraved scum model. Tell him about life, but today he almost lost his life, and he was almost split into charcoal and made a pair of difficult brothers with the Marquis of Cambra, and Benny lost the interest in persuading people to be kind: "." Lao Tzu saved his life. Don't even say thank you, don't you know me? β
He beckoned the younger brothers to turn around and leave, and hurried to the western district.
Naturally, they didn't see that the "thief" had his back to their face and showed a strange smile.
Sigma leaped onto the roof, the leap of the civet, the technique of featherfall, the wind made his body light. The spell sharpens his movements and accelerates his run. Jumping into the air, the wind movement was activated, the arcane shield was opened, it was not enough, the flame detonation reversed the impact, the propulsion accelerated, and within ten seconds, the ultra-low-flying Sigma had soared its speed to the extreme, with a series of continuous reverse jets of flames, and rushed away into the distance.
Fights are common in the East End, but they are less common among professionals, and if you are lucky enough to see a mage in action, it can be a month's worth of conversation, and when you hear someone shouting that the mage is flying, the people in the low buildings of the taverns in the streets and alleys of the East End poke their heads out, or climb to the heights to see a mage soaring through the sky - and then they are speechless, unlike the elegant, erudite, graceful, and free-flying mages in the story, this mage is clearly a fiery thunderbolt, not to mention flying low, but also dragging a rolling heat wave, with the momentum of the sky and the earth cracking, rolling up the wind and making a big blow, its speed is so fast, like a swooping eagle to eat.
Sigma's face was expressionless, his eyes were firmly locked on a position, and when he was closer, there he was - the lightning that attacked Benny, although it was not small, but it was not very spiritual, such as the lightning scroll or the lightning gun and other magic props or magic weapons, because there was no mage to manipulate it flexibly, so Sigma could easily use the skillful force to deflect it with the characteristics of the thunder element, in addition, just after the thunder, in a short moment, it was enough for him to sense the direction of the lightning strike.
In the northeast of the eastern part of the dock area, a mage in a cloak hid in the shadows of the house, as if blending with the darkness, he looked at an ordinary carriage, showed an eerie sneer, took out a lightning scroll from the mage robe, slowly unfolded, and entered a little magic power into the trigger mechanism, the violent thunder element gradually became active, and the purple spell model on the scroll slowly bloomed brightly, except for some specially made scrolls, there are usually obvious signs of abnormality when the high-level scrolls are activated, but the shadows, The surrounding shadows were wrapped in a qiΔ, concealing the qiΔ perception of the car driver, and the people in the car did not know that death was slowly approaching.
However, from far and near in the sky, a series of terrifying explosions resounded, and the horses were frightened, and the charioteers reined in their horses and looked at the sky in amazement, and the crimson light roared in, as if another sun had risen in the sky, and Sigma fell from the sky and rushed into the alley from the street, and the light of a series of flames dispelled the shadows, revealing the appearance of a mage hidden in the darkness.
"Who are you!" The charioteer was shocked to find the mage crouching in the shadows, the other party held a brilliant thunderbolt scroll in his hand, at this time the car sounded a "hurry up", the chariot suddenly woke up, waved the whip, the horse neighed, pulled the carriage and rushed forward.
The mage hiding in the shadows did not pursue, he quickly stood up, his expression solemn, as the flames disappeared, the heat in the air was still there, and the uninvited guests who had fallen from the sky were slowly walking towards him.
"A mid-level mage who is good at fiddling with shadow magic, looking at your appearance, it seems that he is mainly attacking dark spells, you seem to have been in ambush here for a long time, and the target is the carriage just now, so Benny is not your target, the person who sent the lightning strike deliberately led me here, and the life mark I left on Benny reminded me that Benny is not dead, but arrived at the White Rose Hotel smoothly, so the purpose of that person bringing me here is not to divert the tiger from the mountain to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Benny, Then he seems to have only one purpose, and that is to remind me. You're here......" Sigma smiled, "what are you doing here?" β
The mage was still on guard, then smiled sheepishly, "That man is the boss of the Stern's Casino. He lends usury, oppresses workers, raises thugs, extorts money, and there are many people who are forced to die by him, and I want to take the opportunity to kill him. β
Sigma stretched: "Just open your mouth, be organized." This reason is very reasonable, could it be that it has been rehearsed before? β
The dark mage remained silent, just about to veto. I heard Sigma say lazily: "My heart is beating faster, and it seems that I am right." β
The necromancer finally sighed: "I feel the murderous aura, you really have a problem. β
The dark mage's expression instantly turned hideous, and three shadow arrows shot out silently. Nailed to Sigma's head, heart, and throat. However, the three flame arrows came first,-for-tat, the light dispelled the shadows, and completely neutralized the shadow arrows, and the necromancer dug his nostrils and said lazily: "Ah, one last thing I told you before I beat you, my suspicion of you just now was just nonsense." I didn't deliberately listen to your heartbeat, nor did I notice the murderous aura you had so well concealed. But you're too stupid, just tease a few words, and you can't help it, it seems that you must have a sentimental heart. β
The dark mage was stunned for a moment, a look of chagrin appeared on his face, and then Sen Ran's killing intent and anger replaced a qiΔ, he pulled out a mage knife from his waist with his backhand, and rushed towards Sigma: "You deserve to die!" β
Two mages of the same rank heads-up duel, the first choice is to fight close combat, the two sides to the mage talisman martial arts, supplemented by the collision of the legal domain, mental power duel, instant spell auxiliary cooperation, from the talisman martial arts, element control ability, mental strength and monosyllabic spell casting skills and other aspects of the quick attack confrontation, after the number of attacks combined, the upper hand chases and fights fiercely to expand the advantage, the lower hand must change the tactics, save the disadvantage, usually the way to deal is to take off with flying skills, trying to gain air superiority, The opponent will also choose the response method according to their own ability, and carry out air-to-air dogfights or ground-to-air strikes...... In short, after thousands of years of tactical deduction and actual combat summary, the mages have already had a complete set of combat theories to ensure their maximum probability of victory and survival, as described in the story made up by the bards, it is really unreasonable for two stupid humanoid batteries to urge each other to bombard each other at a certain distance - you must know that the victory rate of the fort against the bombardment only depends on the mana reserves and spell-casting skills of both sides, the strong wins and the weak loses, the victory or defeat can be seen at a glance from the first spell collision, and the side with the big winning side is just that, What is the mentality of the side that knows that it will undoubtedly lose, and actually honestly fights against others and waits for death?
The mage knife in the hands of the dark mage is all jet black, as if devouring the sun, this knife in addition to having a good dark element conduction, it is also extremely sharp, quenched with poison, he has the strongest affinity for the dark element, especially good at controlling the shadows, the mentor said that he is a natural hunter, even if he is a mage, he can be a more efficient assassin than an assassin, the mentor taught him the shadow assassination martial arts, and gave him this knife, with his shadow spell, it is simply invincible, and he has a cruel smile on his face- Maybe the other party has a very strong spell casting skill, but it is impossible to compare with him in terms of martial arts, and he has even seen the scene of the other party's blood flying in horror and surprise, killing can make him happy.
Sigma pushed lightly, and pressed the right hand holding the blade, drew an arc, and pushed the opponent's right arm away, the dark mage reacted very quickly, and the right hand spit out, and in an instant, the blade changed hands, and the left hand held the handle upside down, but Sigma had already seen through a qiΔ, and his left hand turned into a knife downward, sweeping towards the opponent's wrist, and in an instant, changing hands, changing knives, and flipping, the two had already attacked the triad, and the dark mage's fast attack rhythm had been disrupted several times, as if he was an excellent luthier, But the well-prepared music was interrupted by the other party again and again, which made his calm mind a little irritable.
"I'm upset, haha." Sigma smiled softly, the two of them waved their four arms, arcing and countering, the center of the scramble was the pitch-black short knife, almost at the same time, the arms of the two middle-level mages floated with a thick elemental light, the dark mage's side was a dark shadow, and Sigma here was a blazing flame, fire and darkness, the two elements of-for-tat confrontation fiercely against each other, after a few breaths, the fire on Sigma's arm suddenly blazing, and the concentration of the shadow was a little sparse, it was obvious that in terms of the collision of the legal domain, Sigma had the upper hand, Within the same radius, he is able to mobilize more elemental powers.
The dark mage's movements were a little sluggish, revealing a small flaw. Sigma almost snapped his wrist and snatched the knife away, and he was sweating a little, just trying to regain his mind. Just listen to Sigma taunt: "Your self-confidence has disappeared because of the disadvantage in the confrontation of the Domain?" β
This bastard's broken mouth is three points more powerful than his spell - the dark mage scolded in his heart, because his mood was a little turbulent because of the other party's words, and then he suddenly realized that the cunning and strength of his opponent was beyond imagination, and this strong enemy was dragging himself into his rhythm step by step, and he couldn't go on like this!
There was a glint in his eyes. The obscure and dark spiritual power with the characteristics of the dark element turned into countless sharp needles, quietly preparing to attack, which was his killer weapon. The other party should be an elemental mage who mainly attacks the power of fire, and his spiritual power may be very strong, but he is definitely not as good at attacking as the dark spiritual power! I'm going to hit him by surprise and get out of his current disadvantage!
But the next moment. He felt his soul twisted violently.
There was a sudden roar in my ears. The terrible ghost howls that almost scattered his soul rang out one after another, and the ghosts in front of him were one after another, countless invisible ghosts and hideous souls approached him, and he stood on the pale earth, white as the ashes of corpses, surrounded by mountains made of white bones, rivers of blood, and spiked forests full of corpses. A swamp of flesh and blood......
It's an illusion! It's an illusion! This is a mental power attack of the death attribute!
This guy turned out to be a necromancer!
The dark mage snorted. The shadow mana mobilized blood circulation, rushed straight to the brain, the spiritual power contracted and concussed, and forcibly suppressed the spiritual sea, taking advantage of this clarity, his left hand was shocked, and he took out the lightning scroll hidden in his sleeve, and launched it resolutely, this was originally his hidden killer weapon, ready to give Sigma a ruthless blow, but at this moment, his fate is at stake, and he can't control it so much!
The mighty thunder fell violently, due to the hasty launch, and did not complete the spell lock, Sigma floated back, manipulated a few thunder bullets to deflect the direction, and leaked the lightning into the earth, the necromancer clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I finally tricked my ultimate, to be honest, this thing really makes me a little frightened." β
The Dark Mage shook his head, finally dispelling the terrifying howl in his ears, glared at Sigma fiercely, and suddenly burst into the sky, his flying spell activated, and he fled into the air.
"If you can't beat it in close combat, you can engage in air combat...... What a scripted idiot. Sigma squinted her eyes and sighed, "Your martial arts skills are not as good as mine, your legal domain is not as good as mine, your mental strength is not as good as mine, and your spell-casting skills are not as good as mine, so why do you think I can't fly you?" β
"However, it's quite strange, looking at his terrible appearance, he must not be from a professional class in the Mage Academy, but like a half-baked person taught by the one-on-one mentor apprenticeship-style inheritance method, but the problem is that he doesn't even know the emergency response method after the defeat of the law domain confrontation, but he was able to recover in only three seconds under my mental power attack, obviously he has experienced special mental power confrontation training before, hehe, it's really interesting." Sigma shook his head and smiled, and a moment later, the alley resounded with the roar of flames, and with the help of the flame-jet recoil, Sigma rose into the sky and chased after the fleeing mage.
The dark mage's nightmare was not over - he was saddened to find that his opponent's aerial combat skills were simply inhuman, especially the power of the roar of the flames, which was simply irresistible, and he was like a chicken running for his life under the claws of an eagle. The two of them flew in chase, sometimes swooping into the streets and alleys, chasing almost to the ground, and no matter how quickly he changed direction, the other would follow him with all the time - because with the recoil of the flames, the damned necromancer was even more agile than he was.
"Bang", the eighth blow, the eighth flame missile hit his shield, too despised people! The dark mage was extremely sad and angry, even though he had already revealed his identity as a necromancer, and had obviously been included in the effective attack radius, but the bastard behind him was still unhurriedly teasing him with a flame missile, what about your bone fangs! Where's your bone spear? Where's your ghost missile! Where's your cloud of death! No matter how bad it is, put a fireball technique! It's too contemptuous of people!
He gritted his teeth and decided to get out of the situation of being passively beaten and counterattack, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, maybe this guy was not good at air pursuit warfare at all, and his spell accuracy was not good enough in air combat, and he couldn't hit the target except for the flame missile, so that he could not hit the target. Maybe I can win?
So a dark light appeared in his hands, and he flipped his body upwards and continued to fly as if lying on his back. The flying stance allowed him to better gain a rear-view perspective, which was conducive to the counterattack of the back water in the direction of six o'clock, but before he could shoot a shadow arrow, he was horrified to find that the flame element contained in the eight flame missiles that Sigma hit his shield did not dissipate in the air, but were like a liquid. Spread over his shield......
"!" Before he could utter such a syllable, a huge fireball roared, and the fireball technique detonated the fire elemental that spread across the shield. Eight flame marks detonated at the same time, and the powerful impact made the dark mage no longer able to maintain the balance of his flying arts, and he fell like a hen with broken wings towards the earth.
Bang. The dark mage crashes into a warehouse. Knocked the ceiling into a big hole and the dust was flying.
Sigma came to the door and kicked it open, sending cold, dry air to his face, leaving only a pile of rotten wooden crates.
It was a large warehouse, with rows of boxes neatly arranged, and the Dark Mage must be hiding in itβhe snorted, stooping down to find an intact piece of wood from the fragments of the crate. Waved a few times, very handy.
There was a cold murderous intent in the back of his head. Sigma tilted his head, the blade swept behind his ear, and then slammed his backhand back, the short handle of the wooden stick hit the side of the dark mage's face, hitting him staggering, the dark mage took a few steps back, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, the arcane shield is not invisible, if you want to hide your whereabouts, you have to close the shield, and without the shield protection, the mage's body is really fragile.
He wanted to retreat and use the shadow magic to hide his whereabouts again, but Sigma swung his wooden stick and slashed, and the dark mage's ears suddenly sounded like a ghost's cry again, and the smooth flow of mana suddenly froze.
Sigma immediately attacked, the dark mage swung the dagger, but Sigma was faster than him, the stick hit the arm, then hit the shinbone, and hit the lower abdomen, the pain made the dark mage fierce, like a trapped beast crazy rush forward, stand up the mage knife and stab directly, the necromancer held the wooden stick with his backhand, reversed from the bottom up, changed hands, clamped the opponent's arm, pulled back, hit forward, a cloud of air exploded in the dark mage's chest, the transferred energy transmission made his heart stop beating for a second, and the uncomfortable feeling like death made the dark mage lose the ability to control his bodySigma calmly unloaded the mage knife and waved the stick in his hand, hitting the head in the head, the wood shattered, the sawdust flew sideways, and the dark mage was beaten into the ruins of the wooden box on the other side.
"Good, good." Sigma stepped forward, unloaded his limbs, found some stinger needles, and tapped his throat again, and a poison pill jumped out, "You will never tell me this time, you are a righteous partner who wants to punish the villain, among the righteous partners, I have seen the murder of the father and the teacher, the sermon of the copycat other people's treasures, and I have never seen the body full of suicide equipment." β
"Tell me why you're doing this thing, who sent you?" Sigma crouched down and looked at the dark mage who had lost his ability to resist with a kind face, "Do you want to be honest and honest, or do you want to be tortured first?" β
"The mentor will avenge me." The dark mage was silent for a moment, a look of relief in his eyes, and he smiled, "This powerful necromancer, please advise me on the last spell of this life. β
Before he could finish speaking, Sigma's face changed drastically and he stepped back.
Because in the eyes of the other party, he saw the blazing red glow that he was very familiar with.
It was the color of life burning violently in its most brilliant form.
A violent explosion rang out, and the shock wave of flesh and blood mixed with the flesh and bones suddenly spread.
A corpse explosion spell performed by a mid-level mage at the cost of all his life force and magic power, and the target of the spell is himself.
The huge warehouse collapsed, and the raging dust swept and spread.
"Hey, I actually practiced a bit of a necromancer, but I'm still a fool, using corpse explosion to deal with me, it's a fart." Sigma patted the dust on his body, turned his head to look at the dust that was gradually falling, and said with his hand, "To be able to cultivate a mid-level mage into a dead man, which force in Carlo City has such a big hand?" Don't let me get into something big again. β
This clue seems to be broken, but there should be one more clue - it is the casino boss who was ambushed by the mid-level mage.
Sigma drifted away. (To be continued......)
