Chapter 0404: Arcane VS Spell
A bright green light struck the chest of Matthias Shore, the leader of MI7 in Stormwind, from Lana's staff, and then, in the midst of the opponent's stunned expression, a strong green light slammed it away and threw it out!
Still backwards, in a free parabolic motion in the air, Matthias Shore's face was full of incredulity, and at this moment, the daggers in his hands had fallen from the palms of his hands that he no longer had the strength to hold, and he arched his body backwards, without screaming or bleeding, and was so quietly thrown into the night behind him by the enemy like a rag bag......
Burst!!
The muffled sound of a flesh hitting the ground, although it was not too loud, but the effect was immediate!
The MI7 killer agents who were still fighting, originally on the left side of the wall of fire, had a partial advantage in besieging the members of the Brotherhood of Defia and the high-ranking warrior Pete!
Although they are a little restrained in this kind of face-to-face combat, they are obviously much more skilled than their opponents, and they are resolutely able to faintly suppress the enemy in a life-and-death fight!
But now, when they saw that the leader of MI7 in their Stormwind Kingdom, Lord Matthias, had been knocked away by the female mage with a spell and fell far away and never moved again, they were frightened and sprinted, quickly retreating from the battle, and quickly disappeared into the darkening night......
"Did we win the war?"
Spotting those enemies that ran away in an instant made Pete feel a little incredulous.
"That's pretty damn...... These guys are so tough, I'd rather fight a double army of enemies than fight these treacherous thieves! Sister, if it weren't for your spells that prevented them from getting close to stealth, I'm afraid my side would have been unable to withstand it a long time ago! ”
Shaking the blood stains on his broadsword, looking at the ruined battlefield where the corpses of his own people on the ground around him were obviously more than the enemy, and the fires of the wasteland that were gradually burning the prairie were on fire, Pete finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked to his sister Lana's side.
"No...... We haven't won yet, and there's something even better coming! Be careful! ”
Compared with her brother Pete's optimism, Lana is much more cautious, so she immediately spotted the strong enemy that attacked.
"Won't you...... Still coming?! ”
Sure enough, following Lana's words and solemn gaze, Pete also saw the two strong griffon flying mounts that had swooped down in the sky in the distance, and they seemed to stop next to the body of the unlucky guy who had just been knocked out by his sister Lana with a green light.
There were two people on the other side, one of the dwarves was screaming and pounced on the corpse, while the human next to him was holding a long, almost human-high staff, so that the head of the staff lit up with blue arcane light, slowly approached and stared slightly at the corpse of a large person on the ground.
"McClairy, get out of the way for me......"
After brutally using his staff to directly dispel the dwarf who was in the way, the human mage with the wizard's pointed hat half-crouched beside the corpse and began to examine it carefully.
He was obviously a little incredulous, he didn't expect that the leader of their Storm Kingdom's MI7 would die here? Just before he arrived, he was killed by a mage of unknown origin right under his nose?
"I saw that spell of yours when I was in the sky...... However, there were no wounds on his body...... There were no signs of mana immersion or burning...... But the man died like this......"
After observing for a moment, the mage nodded and stood up.
He didn't bother with the wailing dwarf, and took a few steps forward, about fifty meters away from the witch standing by the wall of fire. He didn't care about the fire that was spreading, and when he came, he could tell from the clouds in the sky that there would be a heavy rain here tonight, and the fire would definitely be under control, and it would not burn the surrounding farms.
"You must be the mysterious witch who participated in the assassination of Lord Duke, right? Sure enough, it looks amazing......"
"It's just...... I don't understand, how did Matthias Shore die? Those magic items on his body should be able to resist a certain amount of damage for him! But now it'...... It's a bit rude, but can I take the liberty of asking: what kind of spell did you use to kill him? Just now, we only saw a burst of green light in the sky, could it be an evil spell? But I don't think you're a warlock......"
This is where this middle-aged human mage is a little puzzled, that MI7 assassin leader is dead, it has nothing to do with him, it is not his responsibility! However, the other party obviously has two good magical passive protective equipment on their bodies, but they don't have the slightest trace of being activated, so they were directly killed by the enemy?
He was really curious about this! You know, mages are a group of curious people, especially when they see new spells.
“……”
"I used dark magic just now...... A requisite spell! ”
After sensing the magic fluctuations on the other party's body a little solemnly, Lana tightened the wand in her hand again, stared at the other party for a while, thought about it, and honestly said the Avada Death Spell she had just used. Left and right are just the name of a spell, can the other party steal it?
Actually, even though the spellbook says unforgivable spells, Lana prefers to call them dark magic! At the same time, there is a Soul Snatcher Curse for controlling people and a Drill Heart Curse for torturing people, both of which belong to the category of unforgivable curses.
As for why it is written that it is unforgivable, Lana is not very clear.
"Death Curse......
"Kill directly after being hit by a spell, or is it a spell that determines death instantly, like the Death Finger? Scold! That's a real surprise......"
Compared to Lana, the mage was a bit noncommittal about the dark arts.
In his opinion, as long as it wasn't necromancy like the Cursed Sect of Kel'thugad, which played with souls and was shouted at by everyone, where was the rest of the black magic or white magic? Even now, even the Warlock's profession of using demonic energy and enslaving demons has established itself in the world of Azeroth!
"Forget it, let's leave these things alone, let's introduce ourselves before we start fighting......"
"I'm Archmage Kom, and I've studied arcane mastery in Dalaran before, and I'm not proficient in other spells, although I'm also familiar with them! Now a court mage in the Stormwind Kingdom, serving in Stormwind City, as well as being the Stormwind Kingdom's secondary mage advisor and mage tower researcher! May I ask who this witch is...... Which phase of Dalaran is it, and which faction is it cultivating? ”
Not only did they collaborate with Vanessa Van Cleef to assassinate Duke Greg Leskova, but now they also killed MI7's Matthias Shore...... If he didn't kill or capture the opponent with all his strength, then he would definitely not be able to go back and explain!
It's just that what makes Arcane Archmage Com a little strange is that in his perception, the other party's magic power fluctuations don't seem to be strong, let alone high-level, as far as the opponent's current mana level is concerned, at most, it is a little above the middle level, right? So, how exactly did she kill Madias Shore, the Master Assassin?
Kom felt that when the other party was chanting or channeling spells, Matthias should have the opportunity to strike first, how could he be beaten to death by spells?!
Anyway, there's something weird about it!
It's a pity that he was a little late just now...... Of course, don't get me wrong, it's not Matthias's death that Archmage Com regrets, anyway, he doesn't like these killers in the shadows, and he won't take a second look when he dies! It's a pity for him: in order to not come earlier, and then observe the opponent's casting and fighting methods!
"Sister, ignore him! You'll cover me later, and I'll charge up and hack him to death? ”
Hearing the other party's self-registration and roots, Pete, who was standing next to Lana, clenched his weapon and suggested.
Since his sister said that the other party is very powerful, then she must not be allowed to fight the enemy alone, maybe, later, he can command all the people to rush up and slash each other to death with swords?
"No...... Just go away and watch, and be careful to keep an eye on the thieves and assassins, they haven't gone far! ”
"And ...... Later, if things don't go well, I'll phantom to you, and then you remember to hold on to me, we can't beat and run! ”
Lana doesn't have any heart for a death match at all, she fights if she can beat it, runs away if she can't beat it, and looks for a chance to take revenge again! You know, this is the only way that Her Majesty Queen Anne gave her back then, and she has always regarded it as the truth.
So, Lana rejected her brother's offer, and instead leaned into his ear and whispered to him.
"Ahem......"
The arcane archmage in the distance, Kom, was a little impatient, if he didn't want to respect some etiquette, and wanted to wait for the other party to report his name, and then duel according to the rules of the mages, I'm afraid he would have started the fight a long time ago, where would he let the other party whisper over there?
"My name is Lana, and I used to be the lady-in-waiting of Her Majesty Queen Anne of the Fire Kingdom, and I still am! Unlike the spells you learn in Dalaran, my spells are self-taught! I'm a sorcerer, not any of the ones you know! ”
In the same way, Lana clenched her staff and secretly watched each other as she spoke out loud about her name and identity.
"I guess Your Excellency is joking......"
"How is it possible for a spell to teach itself? Those who don't know magic know that they envy the beauty of spellcasters, but how do they know that spellcasters are a rather dangerous profession...... If you're not careful, you may be able to backfire if your channeling spell fails or casts indiscriminately! Therefore, there can be no self-taught mage, even the most genius! ”
For this, Archmage Combe is sure!
You know, when Dalaran was not destroyed, it is said that one of the most talented mages, Gianna Proudmore, was still honestly apprenticed to Antonidas and slowly learned spells? Without a certain foundation, without a full understanding of the principles of the wizarding world, self-learning spells is nothing more than a joke!
“……”
"But my magic is self-taught! Our Majesty Queen Anne dislikes my poor qualifications and is too stupid, so I just throw me a magic book and don't care......"
Speaking of which, Lana is a little aggrieved now! Except for correcting a few mistakes and warning her not to learn some dangerous spells at the beginning, that Her Majesty didn't care about her anymore!
Lana still remembers Her Majesty's words: "Wow! Sister Lana, did you see that? Here's a copy of Hogwarts Spells, it's quick, just follow it! You take it yourself and play slowly, watch it slowly, it's best to understand it, don't ask me if you don't understand......
"Besides, I don't think there's any danger in teaching magic on my own, anyway, it's okay to practice a few more times!"
This is true, because if Lana's own spell casting fails, the most she will be unable to cast the spell is, just like the squib in the book? Or, maybe some strange sparks and smoke coming out of the staff's head, nothing dangerous will happen.
Of course, some spells are still very dangerous, and you can't easily practice them until you reach a certain level! Just like those apparitions and the Animagus transformation techniques performed on herself, these are very dangerous, and until now, Lana has not dared to try those transformation techniques, for fear that she will not be able to change back.
“……”
After staring at the other party silently, thinking that the other party should not be lying, Archmage Kom really had the urge to hit the wall!
You must know that he studied everywhere at the beginning, starting as an apprentice, and accumulated little by little, and tossed for half a lifetime to reach this point...... But what about the other party, self-study can still learn like this, and he was even taught that he was stupid and his qualifications are not good, how high is the qualification requirements of the Flame Queen for apprentices?
"I've heard of your Majesty, a legend! I once wanted to go to the Flame Kingdom to study, but unfortunately, the other party has been missing for many years......"
There is a saying that only the caster can really understand the caster!
Archmage Com saw the power of Akmund the Polluter from the destroyed Dalaran, and guessed the horror of the other party from the fact that Queen Anne was able to defeat Akmund...... Therefore, compared to the various slanders and slanders of Her Majesty by others in the Stormwind Kingdom, Kom himself has always been cautious and does not dare to comment on it.
He felt that even if the other party was not as good as Akmund, it should not be too bad, otherwise, Akmund could have directly destroyed Stratholme, where would there be a city of flames later?
"Well, it's useless to talk more!"
"Although it is a bit of a suspicion of bullying you, if you don't want to honestly go back to Stormwind City with me to accept the guilt, then it's almost time for us to do it now!"
"Now, you let the other unrelated people retreat, I can assure you: I will only fight you today, and after you are caught, as long as the other people don't come to make trouble, I will never embarrass them!"
Archmage Kom has his own principles and dignity, and now it is a bit against his bottom line to fight with this young mage whose mana fluctuations are obviously weaker than his own, so he will only capture this genius mage named Lana today, and then capture it back to Stormwind City alive!
Although the other party killed Madias Shore, Combe still wanted to fight for the other party, if he could persuade him to surrender, perhaps, he would let this young mage be his apprentice and inherit his inheritance?
You must know that now he is also a family man, and he has a lot of wealth and land in his hands, but he only lacks talents who can inherit his spells and protect his family in the future...... And now, having found a seedling that seems to be very good, he has moved the idea of accepting an apprentice.
Of course, this is just an immature idea!
After all, the legendary Assassin Pasonia Shore, the old madman in Stormwind City now, is not dead, and if the other party knows that her grandson died at the hands of the young female mage in front of him, then it must not make a fuss? When the time comes, can you subdue the other party and say it!
Compared to him, an archmage, I'm afraid the other party values MI7 more, right? Come to think of it, there are many archmages in Stormwind, and MI7 was created by Pasonia Shore, so the attitude of the other party and the importance of the assassins under him to the kingdom are self-evident......
"Humph! Want to get me back to Stormwind? Then try your craft! ”
"Faint!"
With a loud cry from Lana, a red light blasted from her staff towards the enemy!
"Huh? Instant Spell ......"
Shocked, seeing that the other party didn't need to guide him to directly send a strange spell, Archmage Kom didn't dare to slack off, and directly cast a prismatic barrier in front of him, protecting himself tightly!
Because he found that the other party's spell was similar to the interaction of light and energy, and the use of spiritual light barrier should be effective.
Sure enough, the next moment, a strange red magic slammed into his barrier, and it was instantly reflected and exploded into a small crater in the wilderness grass, causing dirt and grass clippings to splash everywhere.
“……”
Seeing that spell was fired, Combe was not surprised, but frowned a little. Because he found that the power of the other party's spells did not seem to be great, so how did she kill Madias Shordi?
This thing seems to be a little weird......
"Arcane barrage!"
Confused, Archmage Kom's Staff pointed at the enemy, and several bright blue arcane missiles bombarded the opponent! The power of this spell is not great, but he just wants to test the strength and details of the other party while solving the doubts in his heart.
"Armor Talisman !!"
Seeing so many arcane missiles coming towards her from several directions, Lana didn't dare to slack off, and directly shouted, raised the staff, and a large golden armor directly covered her like a big bell!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of dull bombardments rang out, and then, with the explosion of the last arcane missile, the golden armor finally shattered, dissipating into pieces of magic into the air......
"Hah! Fun and fun! ”
Seeing that his attack had no effect, Archmage Com was not only not worried, but laughed happily. Because he found that the spells used by the young witch really seemed to be different from those of them?
"Humph!"
Lana ignored the odd archmage on the other side, and with a wave of her hand, a disarming spell shot at the other party.
……
“……”
Tibbs ...... Why do I feel like someone nearby is fighting with the magic items I've made? Who is it? ”
At this time, here in Moonstream Town, not far from the Dumont Wilderness, Anne could easily feel a faint fluctuation of mana transmitted to her, as if the magic items she had created were being overused?
However, she couldn't remember what she had lost in this world now.
(My master, you once made an Ollivander's magic wand for your handmaiden in this world......
- Tibbs, who has the purpose of bio-computer memos, is still very reliable, no, and soon, it remembers some of the things that its little master has done in this world. )
"Oh yes...... I also remembered, it was the stick!! ”
Anne, who was bored in the inn in Moonstream Town, and was worried that she had nothing to do, jumped up from the uncomfortable big bed at the moment. Now, it seems that she has finally found fun for herself again, and that is: run to peep and see who is going to be fighting?
