Chapter Ninety-Four: The Red of Rebirth
"Oh, I should have thought of that. Swift shook his head with a wry smile, "Since the Black Hole Witches have appeared, you old drunkard should naturally not be too far away." ”
The circle of high-level mages is actually really not big. If any of the four empires are taken out alone, there are only a few dozen high-level spellcasters, which is still the number of people who are counted together in the open and in the dark.
Take the Kronos Empire as an example, there are a total of fourteen high-level mages affiliated with the academy and the Royal Mage Regiment, plus the scattered missions scattered throughout the empire, the number on the surface is only twenty-two. Even if those who are hidden by the one who sits on the throne are included, there will definitely be no more than forty. And the overall spell level of the Kronos Empire ranks second among the four empires. It is conceivable that even the high-level mages of the entire world combined, there are only about two hundred.
Those who can cultivate to the level of a high-level mage, except for Landolia, a gifted freak, who is not over 100 years old, and there is such a thing as a teleportation circle in this world, and these top-level combat powers are naturally indispensable for some communication in peacetime, especially for a group of people who major in the same department.
"Well, as you can see, your mission is doomed. Wells took a moment to tidy up the robes that had been messed up when he teleported through the black hole, "Are you going to go back with me like this, or will you be brought back by me after a fight?" ”
Originally, the situation was clear, and everything could be said to have settled at this point, but fate seemed to have to joke with everyone at this time.
"No, the cake is mine!give it back to me!" Anka's voice was hoarse, no longer human, his scarlet eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and his eyes as he stared at Liu Li were full of hatred and madness. The silk threads formed by the red element floated beside the old mage, and it contained more than the "scorching element" of this world, but also the "chaotic element" that was originally filled with the huge magic circle, and for some unknown reason, it was also mixed in. From time to time, a flame flickered on the red elemental silk thread, and occasionally a flash of electric light appeared, and even on the ground that these silk threads touched, occasionally because of the sudden burst of flash, a deep crack would be melted.
Ankh roared, and there was no trace of the wisdom and grace that belonged to the caster, and he rushed towards Liu Li on the high platform on all fours like a beast, and those dangerous red silk threads also floated towards Liu Li with his movements.
"Swift, get out of the way!" Anka's previous landing point that was kicked out by Liu Li was not far behind Swift, although the route of the high-level mage who had lost his mind to rush towards Liu Li was not blocked by him, but the scattering range of those red silk threads was enough to involve him in it. Wells and Odin's high-ranking mage were not friends, but they were acquaintances, and they didn't want to just watch him die on the spot.
Even in large-scale wars, high-level spellcasters rarely fight to the death. Landolia's origin is her secret, and no one knows it except Liu Li and Wells, but there are not a few people in the circle of high-level mages who have come into contact with visitors from the other world. Take the staff that Liu Li is holding in his hand, almost all of Odin's high-level spellcasters know that there is a strange world that has had brief contact with this world. High-level spellcasters belong to the high-end combat power of the entire world, and naturally they will not do anything to destroy the Great Wall when they know that there may be foreign enemies.
Although Swift is younger than Anka, he is still a hundred years old, and he is still a pure spellcaster, so he is naturally a little neglectful of physical strength. But at this time, he also knew that the situation was critical, so he could only roll on the spot in embarrassment, and barely avoided the range covered by those red ribbons.
"Will, it's a little tricky. Randolia looked solemn. Knowing his own family affairs, the Vice Dean could clearly feel the impact of this environment full of "chaotic elements" on spellcasting. This eerie red element not only has the characteristics of mania and riot itself, but even affects everything around it. The reason why Ankka lost his mind was precisely because he was suddenly interrupted by Liu Li in the process of channeling this element, causing some of the "chaotic elements" to invade his meditation space.
Although Landolia and Wells both carry the elemental crystals condensed by Liu Li, and do not need to directly extract the elemental spells from the outside world to cast spells, the spell model of the architecture is inevitably affected by it, resulting in the difficulty of casting all spells several times over, and even most high-level spell models cannot be successfully constructed in this environment.
Seeing Ankka getting closer and closer, those red silk threads had already touched the edge of the huge magic circle, which made the two high-level mages more and more anxious, but they couldn't find any feasible way. The staff from the "Demon Realm" is not so easy to take out, it has been integrated with the entire magic circle, and Liu Li, the only one who can successfully control the "chaotic element", is trying to seize the control of the magic staff, and is struggling with the powerful forces in the magic circle, and it is naturally impossible for the two people who are teachers to leave their students here.
Although they were anxious in their hearts, and the exchange of heart-to-heart communication had been continuing, the two experienced high-level mages naturally did not show this emotion, they looked at Ankarna's figure getting closer and closer, and forcibly maintained a calm and breezy attitude. This kind of fearless performance seemed so unfathomable to Swift, as if the plan here had long been understood by the other party, and it was just too lazy to continue to "play" with them to give them a fatal blow at this moment.
Liu Li hadn't reacted since he held the staff, not only did he stand there motionless, but he didn't even get any response to Landolia's call in the psychic communication network, if it weren't for the fact that his mental power had been in a stable state, the vice dean would have wondered if there was something wrong with his students.
Liu Li was in a very mysterious state at this time, which reminded him of the time when he went to the Elven Forest for treatment after being injured a year ago, but it was a little different from that time. The moment his consciousness touched the staff, he was forced back into the meditation space, and what he saw was the mysterious blue. Different from what he saw during meditation, this blue was magnified several times in front of Liu Li's eyes at this time.
Liu Li could clearly see that the dark red marks left behind by the outbreak of the red ancient runes were making visible changes to the naked eye, the red was like a rainstorm after a long drought flowing through the dry riverbed, and the elemental streams covered the dull marks with bright colors. This vivid red is not only the "chaotic element" transmitted from the staff, even Landolia and Wells carry his condensed elemental crystals, and he himself will naturally carry one in case of emergency. A red rune that gradually recovers, and the elemental flow in it is the product of the mixing of the "chaotic elemental" with the "scorching element" of this world.
Even if the state of "omniscience" is not turned on, Liu Li can clearly see the process of the formation of each elemental flow, perhaps it is not appropriate to call it "seeing", which is a more acute feeling than elemental perception. Liu Li didn't know what this feeling was, and she didn't know why she had entered this state. But it was this sudden feeling that gave him a shock similar to observing the evolution of the world, which made him addicted to it and unable to extricate himself.
A slight cracking sound reached Landolia's ears, and she was surprised to find that the crystal containing the "Element of Chaos" appeared on the staff in Liu Li's hand, and then only a moment later, the whole crystal turned into powder under her gaze. Wells was also keeping an eye on his students, and the sudden change shocked the two high-level mages, and they forcibly raised their mental power to prepare for the outbreak of the "chaotic element", but after waiting for a while, nothing happened. There were no eruptions, no oscillations, not even slight elemental fluctuations. Although this huge magic circle had been extracting the elements in the staff, just before Liu Li held it, the elements in the crystal were still so manic, but these "chaotic elements" that had been stirring not long ago were now gone.
Liu Li was very annoyed at the moment, just like he was reading a very interesting novel, but when he was halfway through it, he suddenly learned that the author had stopped updating and there was no announcement as to when the update would resume, which made him extremely annoyed. Liu Li, who finally returned to consciousness, wanted to say hello to the two teachers first and tell them that he was okay, but Anka, who was rushing straight towards him, stunned him. This brutal way of charging was too far from the identity of a high-level mage, so that Liu Li couldn't believe his eyes for a while, wondering if he was hallucinating.
"Old ...... Teacher, he's ...... Did you hit your head when you fell?" Liu Li's expression at the moment, coupled with the words he whispered softly, perfectly explained what it was to be confused.
"Hehe, it's not impossible for you to say that, Anka is indeed not very 'sober', I just don't know if he still has any hope of 'sobering'. Seeing that his students were safe and sound, Wells was relieved to say a few jokes to lighten the mood. The staff that was the core of the circle had been damaged, so there was naturally no need for a few people to continue to stay here. In the face of this high-level mage who had fallen into madness, neither Wells nor Landolia had any intention of confronting him head-on, and since Liu Li had no problem, the first choice was naturally to dodge to avoid the edge for the time being.
At the moment when Anka pounced on Liu Li, the three people who had burst into the ground took a step back in unison and hid themselves in the black hole. When they reappeared, they were already standing next to the spellcaster named Swift.
"Swift, you don't care about your seniors, you see how he still looks like a spellcaster. "Landolia had just finished teleporting, and she had perfectly executed her plan to take the lead.
"It's not all because of you. Of course, Swift didn't dare to say this, the current situation is that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and he doesn't want to make himself suffer because he said the wrong thing.
