066 Goodhart's Magic Circle
The Purple Moon Guardian was originally physically strong, strengthened by evil secret methods, and wore armor that Goodhart had enchanted with his own hands. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoCompared to full-fledged samurai who don't use power, their combat effectiveness is not inferior.
If, under normal circumstances, Roy and the nine Purple Moon Guardians had encountered in a small space indoors, he would not have been able to kill all of the enemy before he could get close to him, even if he had a headshot and a hundred shots. Maybe you will be injured under the opponent's desperate counterattack.
But now, these cultist elites are paralyzed by electricity, and Roy can wipe them out one by one like a target.
Seeing that his carefully cultivated thugs burst into blood one by one and fell to the ground, Goodhart roared angrily: "I'm going to kill you!" ”
"Take care of yourself first!" Siriah swooped down like a nimble swallow, and the sword in his hand turned into a metallic light that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, piercing into Goodhart's chest.
"It worked...... No......" Siriya felt the resistance from the blade of the sword as she stabbed into the opponent's body. And after Goodhart was stabbed in the vital position, he didn't show any painful expression.
"Didn't you find my heart, woman?" Goodhart smiled grimly.
He had previously used necromancy to transform his body, and the heart, a fragile and deadly organ, had long since been removed. Seven or eight of the Assassins who tried to attack Goodhart because they didn't know the secret had died. So he didn't pay attention to Siria's attack at all.
On the contrary, in order to perform a drowning technique that only works when touched, Siriah rushes up and can be said to play into Goodhart's hands.
Gudhart chanted a spell, grabbing the sword that Siria had stabbed into his body with one hand, and gathering water elemental energy with the other, grabbing it towards the other's shoulder.
Roy had already gotten the magic book that Goodhart had hidden in the bedside cabinet. He knew that this evil mage had mastered a water-based magic that was almost 100% lethal, and the only drawback was that it could only be cast by contact.
Seeing Goodhart's movements at this time, Roy didn't know what the other party wanted to do. He immediately cast a mage's hand and pulled it towards Siria's ankle.
At the same time, Roy also aimed at Goodhart and fired several shots.
If it is just an ordinary arrow, or even an enchanted arrow, it will not cause much damage to Goodhart, who has long since been undead.
But what Roy fired was a bomb!
After being solidified by magic, no matter how strong the body is, it can't be compared to high-tech composite armor.
The first bullet hit Goodhart's left leg, and the energy explosion released instantly turned him into a one-legged mage. The violent impact caused Goodhart's body to be suspended in mid-air by magic, and with the assistance of the hand of the Roy mage, he was caught in the air.
Siriah fell to the ground, snorted in pain, and escaped.
And Goodhart, who was missing a leg and had a sword in his chest, locked his eerie gaze on Roy. Now that the mage who can wield strange weapons is the most threatening, of course he will be the first to deal with it.
After three short magical syllables, Goodhart completed the spell. He raised his hand and pushed, and dozens of sharp ice crystals suddenly appeared in the void, flying towards Roy, wanting to nail him directly.
Roy raised his hand and fired all the explosive rounds in the magazine. The bullet slammed into the rapidly flying ice crystals, turning into clouds of energy flames.
Unfortunately, Goodhart fired too many ice crystals, and under the interception of the explosive arrow bomb, he was still grazed by an ice crystal from his arm. If it hadn't been for the dodge in time, I'm afraid the ice crystals would have pierced through the chest.
A layer of frost suddenly spread across his arm, making Roy feel tingling and pain.
Holding back the discomfort, Roy returned the favor with a beam of lightning to Goodhart. The lightning energy can't do much damage to the necromancy of the evil mage, but it can temporarily paralyze it, buying Roy time.
Taking the opportunity to load the empty pistol with a magazine of demon hunting bullets, Roy attacks Goodhart again.
This time, Goodhart could no longer maintain his composure in the pure radiant energy. His body was melted like snow in the sun.
Pieces of pale muscles began to fall off, and soon, Goodhart, whose vocal cords were corroded by the radiant energy, could not even scream, and finally turned into a pile of broken flesh and bones.
After the death of the cult leader, the other cultists outside the hut escaped from their magical grip and fled. The dungeon soon became empty.
After killing Goodhart, in the back of his mind, Roy suddenly received a hint.
"You've destroyed the cult stronghold, eliminated the evil sorcerer, and learned his goal. So, do you just turn away, or continue exploring the ancient ruins to uncover the secrets of the Pieces of Eden? ”
"You triggered the side quest: Ancient Ruins Under the Castle."
"Goal: Open the ruin's door and find the Piece of Eden inside."
"Reward: 2000 points."
"Do you accept it?"
Needless to say, after so much effort, Roy has no reason to pat his ass and leave.
At this time, Siria picked up her sword, walked up to Roy's side and asked, "How is your arm, is the injury serious?" ”
"Just a little bit of skin. The frost has also melted without major problems. Roy shook his head.
In terms of his ability as a mage, Goodhart is undoubtedly much better than Roy. Judging from the strength of the magic energy invoked when the opponent casts the drowning technique, this is at least a four-ring spell.
This shows that Goodhart has entered the ranks of high-level mages.
It's just that compared to those real high-level mages who can cast the Six Rings spell, Goodhart is not enough to see, so under Roy's pistol, he can only die.
The advantage of high-level mages over low-level mages is not only that the strength of the spells they can cast, but also that they are superior in their spell casting ability, including spell casting speed and spell casting concentration. What's more, high-level mages have accumulated more wealth and have a large number of magic items with different functions that can assist in battle.
Although Roy and Siria won the battle against Goodhart with ample preparation and advanced pistols, he also realized that as a mage, he still had a lot to lose.
Roy's desire to learn magic and improve his mage's strength became even stronger.
The two men split up and searched the deserted dungeon.
Roy ransacked Goodhart's bedroom first. In addition to a large number of magic materials and alchemy tools, his biggest gain is undoubtedly a water magic book. It contains more than a dozen water-based spells, including Goodhart's vaunted drowning technique.
However, what Roy is most eager to learn is the water elemental summoning technique.
How can you not have a meat shield in front of you to resist damage?
But now is not the time to calm down and learn magic slowly. Time was limited, and Roy was very interested in the magic that Goodhart used to open the gates of the ruins.
With the magical knowledge taught by Aya Bahamut, although Roy's spell-casting ability needs to be improved due to his lack of qualifications, in terms of theory, it is enough to crush the vast majority of mages in this world.
Goodhart had already completed most of the preparations for the magic array, and Roy only needed to follow the steps step by step.
While Roy was studying Goodhart's magical notes, Siria returned.
She was still holding a man.
"Who is she?" Roy looked at the woman in Siria's arms. She was in her early forties, with black hair combed into two exaggerated croissants, and a long dress that had been stained with filth. The skin is fair and delicate, not like a person who has worked for a long time.
"Aristocracy, still a sorceress." Roy determined the identity of the woman based on the other party's dress.
Siriah explained, "I found her in the dungeon. It seems that she has been drugged and has been in a coma, so I brought her here. Roy, can you save her? ”
"No need to save it. The sorceress was simply fed strong sleeping pills by Goodhart and would sleep until the full moon three days later. Roy explained, recalling what he had just seen in the Magic Notes.
Goodhart's magical ritual was largely prepared. The final step is to kill the sorceress on the magic circle when the dark magic is most active at the full moon three days later, and use her life force as a sacrifice to activate the magic.
Roy is not an evil wizard and will certainly not murder the sorceress again.
So to unleash the magic, he needed to find another way.
When Roy told Siriah about this, the white-haired girl volunteered, "Let me take her place!" ”
"To activate this magic array, a lot of life energy is required. I don't want you to get hurt. Roy said.
"Don't worry, although I can't cast spells because I haven't received much formal magic training, the magic power in my body is definitely a hundred times greater than that of this sorceress."
Roy recalled the content of the previous conversation between the two: "You once said that you have ancient blood in your body, is this the reason? ”
Siriah nodded, and then said in a self-deprecating tone, "Although I have never fully used the power of the Ancient Bloodline, the ruler of the Aine El World wants me to conceive his child because of my bloodline. My real father even wants to marry me......"
Roy was stunned.
I didn't expect Siriya's father to be a ghost father. It's no wonder that when she mentions her adoptive father, Geralt, her eyes are always full of tenderness, but she never talks about her biological father.
"You didn't get hurt, did you?" Roy asked cautiously.
"Don't worry. To the ruler of Al Ain, I am an inferior race of humans. Would you mate with a monkey? He couldn't do it, and I managed to escape from that world. As for my biological father......" Siriah's eyes were a little distracted, "though he is an ambitious emperor, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends. But when I cried and begged him, he finally dismissed the ridiculous idea and let me go. A woman's tears can really work sometimes. ”
