Chapter Fifty-Eight: You're Killing Yourself!
The squirrel was on the other side of the spiritual communication, and he could naturally feel Liu Li's undisguised anger. Even the words that Liu Li almost shouted just now, the squirrels heard them clearly.
How to say it, the squirrel is in a very delicate mood, Liu Li is so nervous, she does make her feel very happy, but what the hell is that "my cat"......
By this time, the sky was getting dark, and there was not much time left for a few people. Although it was unclear what rank the leader of the team mentioned in the previous conversation between the two was, there was no time for the squirrel to investigate. If it is really delayed until the return of the person they have received, not only will there be many more variables in the operation, but it will also make the other party have dozens of more hostages.
Liu Li didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly touched the spiritual imprint left by Landolia, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
"Oh no! someone wants to use the teleportation circle!" In the westernmost room on the second floor of Lin's inn, a middle-aged man sitting quietly on the floor suddenly opened his eyes and shouted. The middle-aged man was the leader of all the people who stayed in the town this time, the high-ranking military mage Doyle.
Doyle was also bitter in his heart, although he had already planned for the worst, but seeing that there was no accident in the last few hours really made him feel depressed. As one of the only two high-level spellcasters who participated in the entire plan, he naturally knew that the team in Erenor City had suffered heavy losses, otherwise he would not have sent almost all the mid-level and above combat power in his hands to support. At present, there are less than ten beginner-level martial artists left under Doyle's hands, and in terms of spellcasters, there are only one beginner and one mid-level two.
The spiritual power swept through the entire town, and Doyle relied on his high-level cultivation to deliberately search, and it was naturally not difficult to find Liu Li and his party hidden. "Go find those four little mice and kill them!"
But it was the last instruction Doyle could give, and he now had to put all his mind on fighting for control of the teleportation circle. From the deep, dark aura coming from the magic circle, he knew that his opponent this time was the terrifying witch.
However, the current situation is not too bad, although Doyle does not know what went wrong and allowed the Kronos to discover the anomaly of the town, but the people who came to investigate are not so good in terms of strength, which makes him secretly relieved.
The mage stationed in the town is nothing more than a third-order intermediate spell caster majoring in green spells, and he has long been under his own supervision. As for the four little mice, they must not be able to make any waves in the face of a gap of more than double the number of people. As long as these small accidents are solved, Doyle is still confident that he will be able to stop the Black Hole Witch for a few hours.
Landolia, who was in the teleportation hall of the Eleonor Academy of Magic, knew that Liu Li and the others had found the main master, but at this time she was very anxious in her heart. She had never paid attention to Tulum before, even though it wasn't far from Erenor. Even the exact direction of Tulum Town, Landolia was not very clear in her heart, so naturally she couldn't rush over directly through the teleportation spell. You must know that her unique teleportation spell shuttles in secret, even if the direction is only a slight angle, the landing point will be thousands of miles away. All Landoria can do now is to use the battle for control of the teleportation circle to contain the high-level mages on the opposite side. She also recognized the identity of the other party, and the existence of high-level mages has always been a proof of the Empire's display of force. Landolia knew that if Doyle was allowed to free his hand, Liu Li and the others would not be spared.
It was impossible for Liu Li and the four of them not to hear the roar of the high-level mage's concussive spiritual power, and the people who had been shocked quickly decided to gather together through psychic communication, so as not to be broken by the other party, and the gathering place chosen by Liu Li was the residence of the mage stationed in the town. Although there are a lot of people watching here, the mage stationed is also the only force that several people can use at this time.
"Squirrel, you're good at lurking and hiding, and you don't have much advantage in head-on combat, so don't come here to gather, and rush to the inn immediately, so that Lynn's parents and other tenants don't get affected. In the crisis, Liu Li did not lose his composure and began to assign tasks, "The other party's high-level mage should have been dragged by Teacher Landuo, and for a while, he shouldn't be able to pay much attention to this side, let alone intervene in the battle, with your strength enough to lurk in the other party without noticing." ”
"Teresa and I will soon be able to arrive at the residence of the mage, Lin, you should hurry up and come here, a few of us have never been trained in stealth, and it is almost impossible not to be discovered, so we can only fight them head-on. Now that I don't have enough information, I don't know why there is no trace of the enemy's mid-level fighters in the town, and I can't get more information, so I can only believe that the squirrel has already detected this. ”
The enemy's high-level spellcaster can't free up his hand is the biggest good news for Liu Li, especially when it has been discovered at this time, Liu Li no longer needs to hide the fluctuations generated when casting the spell, and together with Teresa teleported through the black hole, he directly appeared in the living room of the mage's residence.
"Who are you?" Fred, the mage stationed in the living room, had just discovered the situation of the teleportation circle, and the huge spiritual power belonging to the high-level mages facing each other at both ends of the circle made him want to intervene but couldn't, and at this time, he found that there were two intruders who broke into the living room through teleportation spells, and it was already Liu Li's luck that he didn't do it directly.
Although her personality is a little dark, Teresa is also a professional aristocratic housekeeper no matter how she says it, and she is naturally much better at negotiating with people than Liu Li. She didn't talk too much nonsense, and explained the situation to Fred in the most concise language possible, not quickly but clearly.
Fred, the resident mage, only realized his negligence after hearing the explanation, Tulun Town has been peaceful for too long, even if there is any problem that he can't handle, he will report it directly to Alenor City, and he, the stationed mage, has not encountered a situation that needs to be done himself for a long time. However, he also knew that this event was a crisis for the entire empire, and it could even be said that it would affect the course of the upcoming war. Not daring to slack off, Fred quickly prepared for battle, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, fortunately, the opponent's high-level spellcaster was contained, otherwise it is difficult to say whether the entire town can be saved.
Liu Li is not idle, he is guiding Lin to gather here through spiritual communication, Fred's residence is always staring at two people, plus the two people near the bakery where Lin was before, it is completely impossible to break through the blockade of the four warriors with that Lori alone.
"Lin, rush in!" Lin finally entered Liu Li's spell casting range the moment before she was overtaken, and a black hole suddenly appeared in front of Lin, and at the same time, Liu Li's instructions sounded in her mind. Not daring to hesitate at all, Little Lori rushed into the black hole without a pause. And the pursuers behind her did not dare to rush into the spell. The group, in addition to the squirrel, finally gathered in Fred's villa, and the enemy, followed.
"Nine martial artists, one beginner mage and ...... A mid-level mage?" Liu Li secretly estimated the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, although on paper, the enemy was more than double his own, but it was still much better than the worst-case scenario he had expected. Among the nine martial artists on the other side, seven were only at the first order, and the other two seemed to have just broken through the second order in terms of breath, not to mention that they were not as good as Lin, who was about to break through the middle rank, even Teresa had the strength of the second order intermediate level.
As for the caster, Mage Fred should be able to temporarily hold back the opponent's mid-level mage, even if he can't defeat it for a short time. And that second-order mage, Liu Li felt that against the other party, although his chances of winning were not high, he was not without a chance, after all, the second-order would not have too strong rank suppression for the first-order high-level.
Although he was on the defensive side, with the support of Fred's abode's magic circle, Liu Li didn't dare to drag out the battle for too long, and the confrontation of high-level spellcasters could be unpredictable at any time, which had to be guarded against.
Fred and the opposing mid-level mage did not set the battlefield here, but invariably turned out of the town. As a garrison mage, Fred naturally didn't want the battle to affect the innocent townspeople, and the other party was obviously not a murderer, and at the same time, he was also worried about the magic circle that existed here, and he didn't want to be on the opponent's home field when he fought with an opponent of the same rank.
As for the confrontation of martial artists, they all unconsciously avoided the battlefield between Liu Li and another beginner mage, and it was extremely difficult for the spell to be controlled as accurately as a martial art, so naturally no one wanted to get involved.
Prior to this, Liu Li had always believed that spellcasters who specialized in spell holding would have an absolute upper hand in battle, after all, the advantage of spell casting speed was not so easy to wipe out. And spellcasters who specialize in manipulating spells, even if they have a lot of spells, will be slightly inferior to their peers who specialize in spell holding and praying spirits. But now, reality has taught him a profound lesson. At the beginning of the battle, Liu Li was overwhelmed by the opponent's spells.
It is true that spell operators are not good at casting spells quickly, and it is difficult to fight back with spells in the first time when faced with unexpected situations, and they have no way to make their spells ever-changing through the adjustment of the elements, but the spell operators also have their own combat skills, which are called chain sequences.
Liu Li, who was holding the "Return", was surrounded by dozens of black holes, and at the same time chanting non-stop, a tentative "electric shock" hit the other party directly, but it happened to be blocked by an ice wall, making this blow useless.
"Ice mist!" As the spell was cast, a thick mist filled the field, covering a radius of tens of meters. Liu Li found that under the shroud of fog, not only was his vision compressed to less than one meter, but even his perception in the state of "omniscience" became more and more dull, which had never happened before, so that Liu Li could not grasp the opponent's position at all.
"Mirror Labyrinth!" A high wall of ice rose from the ground, forming a labyrinth, and Liu Li was falling into it. With the sensing in the state of "omniscience" and the agility brought by the identity of a martial artist, although Liu Li was able to dodge the impact of every ice wall, he also completely lost the sense of the opponent's position.
"Ice Spike!" As the opponent's spell was completed, the scene changed again, and ice picks stretched out from the ice wall, and then flew towards Liu Li at an extremely fast speed. In the face of attacks from all directions, Liu Li could only resist with the "Return" in his hand and the black hole suspended around, but he could never find the opponent's position, and there was no way to fight back. Under the influence of the cold of the ice pinnacle, there was not much blood coming out of the wound, but the cold invasion of the body also made Liu Li's movements more and more sluggish.
"Frost Burst!" The other party did not stop casting, Liu Li just picked up an ice pick that stabbed straight into the chest with "Return", but he didn't expect that just after contact with the weapon, this ice pick suddenly exploded, and the ice splinters that shot out slashed across the body, bringing a piercing pain. In an instant, Liu Li's whole body was stained red with blood, which was his own blood.
"It's really embarrassing, and you really can't underestimate any opponent. Liu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said secretly in her heart. Although the wounds on the body look terrifying, they are only some flesh wounds, and with the support of strong physical fitness, it is not difficult to recover, but the most difficult thing to deal with is the chill that invades the body. His sluggish movements only brought him more wounds, and the more injuries he had, the worse the cold eroded his body became. Liu Li knew that he had to break this vicious circle, otherwise he would inevitably die again, but fortunately, there was no way.
After Liu Li perfectly combined the black element and the death element in his body to advance to the first-order level, his main energy these days has been focused on the analysis of the red rune above the blue in the meditation space, and the manic and riotous characteristics contained in the rune have also been integrated into Liu Li's red ** method. The first-order junior Liu Li mastered the electric shock, and learned the flash rush when he was intermediate, and now he is a first-order advanced Liu Li, and naturally there are new spells on the red spell, and it is also the first real range attack spell he has mastered so far-Thunder.
Reciting the incantation silently, a blue ball of lightning "squeezed" out of the "return". When it first appeared, the diameter of the ball lightning was less than ten centimeters, but in the next instant, it expanded to more than one meter. Liu Li didn't continue to wait, but directly detonated the spell in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding space seemed to be filled with azure arcs, forming a sea of thunder and lightning, in this ocean, whether it was an ice spire or an ice wall, even the thick fog that diffused was dissipated and invisible under the effect of the spell.
The ice wall created by the second-order mage should not have been broken so easily by the first-order high-level spell, but the trace of manic and riotous power that Liu Li analyzed from the red runes turned the impossible into a possibility. Liu Li didn't know what the principle was, but he only knew that the red ** method that incorporated this characteristic could produce amazing effects in breaking other people's spells.
The explosion of thunder not only broke through the dense fog and ice wall, but also eroded a layer of ice armor around the opponent's body. It was impossible for Liu Li to give up such a good opportunity, dodge into the black hole, and reappeared behind the opponent, "Returning" stabbed straight out and passed through the chest. This opponent, whose name is not yet known, lost his life under Liu Li's blow.
Liu Li, who was covered in blood, rushed into the battlefield of the warriors with an astonishing momentum, looking at Lin and Teresa who were clumsied under the siege of nine enemies, he was furious in his heart and directly killed him. And his goal was extremely clear, it was those two enemies who had reached the second order of cultivation. Liu Li remembered these two people, and shouted under the surprise attack: "It's you! You are beating my cat's idea! You are killing yourself!"
