Chapter 512: The Mage's Duel
In a sense, my fight with Heng is typical of the mage style.
Careful observation, the temptation to start without merit, the careful observation of weaknesses, the temptation and attack to protect the opponent, and so on, and of course, the final blow that comes suddenly, but is enough to take the opponent's life.
Therefore, in general, the duel between two mages will look boring, they will first summon cannon fodder, set up defensive magic, first make themselves invincible, and then start casting spells to test the opponent, or eliminate the opponent's cannon fodder, or try to disarm the opponent's protection, and expose their weaknesses first to lose.
Then, if it weren't for the huge difference in strength, it would be possible for the mages of the two academic schools to fight for two or three hours, and when most of the energy was invested in protection and their own safety, the scene would not look good.
But even with the regular mage fighting style, the duel between Heng and I is a little different......
The glacial wall built of white snow suffered repeated impacts, and after the front was inexplicably turned into ice sculptures, the remaining undead did not retreat, after all, the undead creatures lacked fear and morale, and the will of the Lord of Death was higher than one qiē.
"Rush over! Step on your own kind in the past! ”
The inexplicable thoughts of the undead legion converged into the same will, which was almost substantial, as if an invisible skeleton lord was howling in the void.
The high-ranking death knight climbed the bones of his subordinates and was the first to climb the top of the city wall, and before he could rejoice in his success, the next moment, the cold air from under his feet made him one of the ice sculptures.
But the next moment, his Death Knight apprentice stepped on his corpse and took two more steps, turning into an ice sculpture as well, and then another skeleton general stepped on her bones again......
Even if the bottomless abyss in front of him was silently devouring a qiē, the black blind stream still moved slowly without wavering, just like the man-eating ant colony that no one dared to stop.
"If it's a river, it's filled, and if it's a volcano, it's trampled out. It may seem stupid, but it's a very practical solution. After all, magic also needs energy as an energy source, and energy will always run out. This is the most basic rule. ”
Since it is a spell that can only be effective by contact, then, is, is, if it is a spreading spell, then. Use cannon fodder to consume all the curses and negative energy, and if it is a functional and regular limitation, then use cannon fodder to test out all the rules.
This is the root of the undead army's sweep across the countries, no matter how subtle and powerful your protective magic is, how powerful your attack magic is, as long as there is enough cannon fodder to fill it, no matter how exquisite the magic is, there is a limit, and no matter how powerful the mage is, he will die of exhaustion.
The black torrent is always moving slowly, looking slow and sluggish. It seems that you can escape with just two steps, but you can't stop it, and no matter where you flee, it will be the same result, this is the scourge of the dead, the king of the plague of death itself.
And in this duel of the Emperor of the Dead, this is just a temptation of appetizers, and she wants as much cannon fodder as she wants.
Of course, I have checks and balances, but before that, I have to deal with Heng's spell attacks first.
Heng's cast has been completed. The pitch-black clouds flew from a distance, and when they got closer, they instantly turned into fragments, enveloping the entire Cloudsdale at once, and the eyes were full of black mist.
The dark cloud in front of you is not some attack magic. It was a pitch-black fog in which countless dark elves swirled in their fantasies, unable to distinguish between up, down, left and right in the dark clouds, and the lack of direction and vision made all attacks a joke.
"Proprietary magic?"
"Well, I shouldn't have seen it in the main plane, it should be a special application of negative energy. Even the prying eyes of the soul can be stopped....... there is a smell of souls in this mist, and it should be a sacrificial divine art that uses necromantic subordinates as sacrifices. It's a good idea to use soul fragments to block the peep of souls. ”
I nodded, my speculation is almost the same, it is good to have an encyclopedia, many speculations can be confirmed in an instant, then, since you know the general principle of this spell, you should be able to find a way to deal with it.
"Purification...... No, absorb it! Using soul-based spells in front of a soul master simply amused me. ”
Under my order, the national soul conjuring tower in the center of Eternal Night City was fully activated, and those soul fragments in the clouds and mist didn't even have the strength to resist, they were directly absorbed by it, and the death fog that covered the field of vision would instead become the new energy of the tower in the clouds, and it had just fallen to 90% of the total energy and returned to 92%, but it was clear that I had taken advantage, but I was unconsciously a little anxious.
“…… I'm afraid her next spell is ready. ”
This is the rhythm gap in the hands of the spellcaster, and the Undead Emperor with the legion can also cast spells himself, which is equivalent to her taking two steps and I take one step.
The rookie will probably be happy because he can crack the opponent's attack, but I have a headache because of the loss of initiative, and I know that when the rhythm is pulled apart, the advantage has accumulated enough, and I can't cope with it, it is probably the key moment to divide the winner and loser.
The gap was there from the beginning, and the actions of the Undead Legion also posed a threat to me, she had enough cannon fodder to use at the beginning, and I could only see the moves, and the further back I went, the more difficult it was to deal with, which meant that I had to deal with her two steps at the same time at each step, which was a bit of a loss of rhythm.
"Sure enough, the big guy from there?"
The black cloud had just dissipated, but he saw a huge skeleton giant, who had already crossed my ice wall with one foot, he was originally rushing towards us, but when he found that the cloud mist of Cloud City began to disperse, he did not hesitate to give up attacking the city in front of him, and immediately turned to break through this strange world.
The Bone Giant is not a rare undead class, the innate giant body and the acquired giant bone synthesis can create such a killing machine, high-level necromancers create this kind of undead creature is often used to siege the city, after all, this thing is both eye-catching and sluggish, it is easy to attract troublesome opponents, not to mention, the energy consumption is also extremely terrifying, and it is not cost-effective to deal with small targets.
"No, this is no ordinary bone giant."
But compared to his sluggish companions, the silver-gray giant was very agile, and the frequency of the big foot bones moved so fast that it actually created intermittent seismic waves, and his eyes did not flicker with the soul fire of the undead, but a sapphire-encrusted magic diamond probe, and the other eye also emitted an infrared red light.
What he was holding in his hand was not a giant sword, a battle axe, or something like that. Rather, it was a fire-breathing spear emitting scorching flames, and at his key link, traces of screws and welded plates could be seen, and there was actually steel plate armor on his body. And ....... soles of his feet, you can still see the training wheels and the fire-breathing thruster!
“…… Gundam of the Dead, did you go to the wrong theater? This is the new species that the dragon lich says? ”
I can vaguely feel that there are many independent souls in this monster's body, this bone giant is actually just a vehicle, and the cab seems to be in the abdominal cavity, which is obviously not caused by ordinary necromancy. At least the Undead Emperor, who had been hiding on the plane of death for many years, decided that he couldn't make this fusion of magic and engineering.
My first impression of this guy is terrible, this guy's possible strength is one thing, and his appearance indicates that the most troublesome situation has been made - the undead have either obtained the inheritance of the sage plane, or have been united with the inheritance owner, and the enemy we have to face is no longer just an undead emperor.
Maybe the total amount of energy in Eternal Night City was too terrifying, or maybe it was the death order from the superiors, and the half-constructed skeleton giant who was obviously also an ace had no intention of fighting Eternal Night City, and crossed the ice wall, just moving forward on his own. An attempt to break through our defenses.
"Timiret would probably like a gift like this."
"If you can take it in its entirety."
"Absolutely."
If it were an ordinary strong man, he would probably have been scared half to death, but in the eyes of old fritters like us, this is still just a toy, or a toy with unimportant design failures.
"Strategic Magic: Fossils to Mud!"
This spell smashed in front of the giant, and the flat land suddenly turned into a mire, and the deeper swamp was still under the mire, and the bone giant had no time to brake, so he jumped up violently, and the flames erupted from his feet, rushing down. Burst, vigorously flick the legs, that standard long jump action is extremely complete, and then ...... Half rolled in the air. Directly into the pit.
"Poof, the action is well done, but I didn't jump at all."
"Nonsense, the skeletal giant has no musculature, and walking driven by magic is already the limit, and simulating human movements is just instinct. Still planning to play the sprint long jump? Is it true that when he is a completely unscientific red Zeon, he can paint three times as fast as the color? ”
And I wasn't happy too soon, the high-energy reaction in the distance showed that Heng had prepared a new spell, and the undead below had already broken through the ice wall, and it seemed that our rhythm had been pulled away.
And on the ice wall, it was already densely crawling with undead, and the sacrificial spirit of the Heng Legion was simply touching, so ......., I was moved and pulled up another ice wall without hesitation, learning a lesson, two meters higher than before, and three meters wider.
"Go on, I'll see how much cannon fodder you have."
Although my mouth is very arrogant, but I have a little bottom in my heart, after all, the energy consumption of the ice wall technique containing freezing gas is too high, one time is almost 10% of the total energy of Eternal Night City, and in order to ensure the safety and combat power of Eternal Night City, I don't dare to use energy below 50% at all, and such ice wall delay tactics can't be used a few times.
And the most annoying thing is that you can't let the opponent stay active like this, so you can see the move. The situation will get worse and worse, and we need time to fight back.
"I'll go to the secondary tower, and leave the spell battle with that guy to me, and you clean up the cannon fodder first."
Heloise was rarely diligent, and took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility, her strategic decision was obviously correct, since Heng, who was too far away at this time, could not get rid of it, and suppressed the opponent's weakness with Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, it was indeed right to get rid of those annoying cannon fodder first, but I was a little hesitant.
“…… The other party is the Emperor of the Dead, at least be careful. ”
Even with the bonus of the Mage Tower, it is still very difficult to fight the Undead Emperor head-on alone, and invisible curses, seals above the plane level, and special negative energy permanent damage can also make Heroise fall.
But Heloise laughed, she slowly transformed into an adult form in the laughter of silver bells, her silky blonde hair kept dragging on the ground, and the familiar pretty face was in front of her, exhaling like an orchid, but deliberately rubbing it in her ears.
"The Great of the Dead? Who do you think I am and who taught you necromancy? I've already taught the woman of the Emperor of the Dead, and now my accumulation is enough, and I can be regarded as a woman who is about to become the Emperor of the Dead. Watch out for her? I'm also looking forward to a chance to break through in battle! ”
She melted into a shadow in her coquettish smile, and I was able to turn my attention to the army of the undead beneath me, and it was reassuring to have such a helper who could be completely trusted in terms of ability.
"What spells to prepare next, it's best to be able to kill those big spells of the middle and high-level undead at one time, anyway, there is the energy reserve of the mage tower, so let's consume it a little......." (To be continued.) )xh118R1052
