Chapter Sixty-Seven: Luna the Withered Mage
"I'll have to show this letter to the teachers," Alver said, closing Countess Cartwright's, "it must be easy for an earl to deal with a squad of six, and depending on what the countess means, they're going to raid." ”
"And there will definitely be people at the checkpoints, just like in the city of Elba. Vincent gritted his teeth, and muttered something in a volume that Elfer couldn't quite hear, and Elph thought it should be a swear word.
"I don't think it's going to be too close to the checkpoint, they're going to pick a safe position where the guards won't be able to help us. Carl straightened his clothes, "Anyway, Alfer should go tell Teacher Luna first." ”
Elph shows the letter to Miss Luna, and tells Teacher Luna about his analysis with Vincent and Carl.
"I see, don't be nervous, you three should be on guard. Teacher Luna had a look of "why is there trouble again" on her face, and sent Alfer back, with a long sigh.
Everyone was on guard, and Vincent's mind was so focused that he wouldn't even tease him to talk.
"I don't think there's any need to be so nervous," said Karl, but Vincent could hardly get out of that state, and Karl stopped bothering him, and the whole group went on in silence for a long time, so long that Alfer almost thought that the Countess had given the wrong information.
It wasn't until Mr. Alesi shot a crossbow bolt that would cause an explosion and a thick smoke in the northwest direction, and in the loud explosion and rising smoke, Mr. Emerson summoned a lot of woody plants to form a huge dome to cover the whole team, and the bow and arrow were fired from the grass in all directions, and the bow and arrow pierced the woody plants and made a "thump" sound.
The Countess's warning was correct, and they were in the middle of the school and the outpost, with no village in front of the village and no shop, making them the perfect place to be ambushed.
The woody plants retreated into the ground, and the bows and arrows fired by the enemies fell to the ground, and Elph could see the enemies he was about to face, all of them light and well-equipped, and from the point of view of equipment, the class ratio was almost perfect, three magic classes, three should be priesthood or other healing, three spike melee combat, six shield-wielding swordsmen, six heavily armed warriors, six scouts, three druids or summons.
"Tsk......" Teacher Luna seemed even more irritable and impatient.
"I'm sorry guys," said a swordsman with a shield on the other side, presumably the leader, "we've been hired to let you die here, so please give up your resistance and have a good time, okay?"
"Are you mercenaries?" said Alessi, who didn't look nervous, but her movements were to make the horses walk backwards. Teacher Luna seemed to whisper something to Mr. Emerson, and Mr. Emerson seemed a little reluctant to hear this, and Teacher Luna glared at him, turned over and dismounted, and swayed forward with her long staff, so Mr. Emerson turned back to the children and said, "Follow me back." ”
"Do you want to run away?" Vincent didn't understand, "It's unfair to have Teacher Luna alone!"
Elph also thinks that this strategy is too hasty, and with the opponent's numbers, equipment, and class, it is impossible to escape.
"Don't underestimate the Royal Archmage," Mr. Emerson winked at the children, "we can't run away, it's just that Luna needs a battlefield, so we'll fight in a safe place and watch her perform." ”
Alver and Vincent looked at each other, in their impression, in addition to all kinds of theoretical knowledge, Teacher Luna's course teaches the most content is to rub balls of various attributes to attack the target poked on the playground, even in the last few actual battles, Teacher Luna only draws the magic circle and then launches it, although the effect of the magic circle is very shocking, but more often, this shocking effect almost all depends on Elph's out of control.
Carl didn't say anything, his expression as relaxed as that of Teacher Alessi.
"Carl," said Alver, "you're not nervous at all. ”
"Huh?" Karl was looking down at his nails, "I don't think the teachers are going to joke with their lives, so I'm not nervous." ”
Teacher Luna walked to a place more than ten meters away from the other party, poked the staff into the ground at her feet with her right hand, and slowly untied the strap of her robe cloak with her feet, and the cloak fell to the ground, Teacher Luna's voice was lazy and charming, "Decades ago, when I was studying abused in the cold and dark Royal Mage Tower," she paused for a moment and continued to unbutton her robe, "Your parents were still born in some damn little country of the human race, right?"
Without warning, a dark arrow was fired from the opposite side, and Teacher Luna waved away from it.
As the robe landed, a magical aura that made Alver very disgusted and uneasy burst out violently, and inside Teacher Luna's robe was a pure black close-fitting equipment, somewhat similar to Ms. Milan's, except that it was covered with distorted patterns composed of various magic runes and spells in dry yellow. She reached out and grasped the staff on the ground, and her arm shook, as if touching some kind of mechanism on the staff, and a part of the staff of the same color as the staff itself popped up at the top of the staff, forming a state of close to a 75-degree angle with the staff, and the unsettling magic of Teacher Luna slowly poured into it, and at the 75-degree angle gradually appeared lifeless brown with greenery, a thin and ethereal film-like thing, and finally, the staff became a large long-handled scythe.
As the scythe took shape, smoke as ugly as the blade of the scythe appeared under Luna's feet, and the plants that came into contact with the smoke began to wither and curl under her feet.
"I'm sure you've never heard of the withering mage carefully cultivated by the Human Emperor, right?"
With that, Luna sensei swung her scythe and rushed towards the enemy team at great speed.
Alfer jumped forward almost instinctively, and was grabbed by Carl, "Don't go over, Principal Krent isn't here, and we better not get too close to Teacher Luna." ”
Every inch of land that Teacher Luna stepped on, the plants withered, the ground cracked, and smoke composed of brown and yellow with a little disgusting green began to appear around her body, surrounding Teacher Luna's body, and the enemies began to surround Teacher Luna, the stabbing assassins covered the retreat of their magic professions, and the heavily armed warriors chose to confront Teacher Luna head-on, and the swordsmen tried to bypass Teacher Luna and attack on Elver's side.
Luna stopped abruptly and crouched down to dodge the opposing warrior's axe, while the scythe swung unhesitatingly at the calf of the nearest foe, and the warrior who attacked him smiled contemptuously and leaped backwards to dodge the scythe.
Teacher Luna ignored him, and turned to chase the swordsman who was charging at Elph, calling out Emerson's name at the same time.
Before the wall of shields made of plants was erected and withered, everyone saw the axe-wielding warrior who had clearly dodged Teacher Luna's scythe, wailing and falling to his knees.
His leg showed no signs of injury, and the armor on his leg was intact, but he still rolled on his leg and wailed.
Teacher Luna's face was an evil smile that Elph had never seen before, and Emerson kept summoning all kinds of plants to stab out of the land to stop the enemy warriors who were going here, and Teacher Luna chased after her fast, wielding a scythe to cut off the plants that Emerson had summoned, so fast that Elph almost thought she was a thrust-type class known for her speed.
The swordsmen began to fall before they could fight back, their skin shrinking as if they had been quickly dried, and the plants summoned by Mr. Emerson withered, collapsed, and dissipated in an instant when they came into contact with the scythe.
"What's going on?" Vincent couldn't comprehend the strange sight he saw.
"Blighting mage, a special profession that absorbs life force as a means of attack, I thought it only existed in the legends of the market, but I didn't expect it to really exist. "We'd better step back, Teacher Luna's robe and cloak are probably a kind of seal to protect your allies." ”
