..........................................................................................
When the Dark Assassin Petrov was killed by the Flame Strike, Ivanovsky and Kaliliana in the distant room only sensed powerful magic fluctuations, so although they didn't know what was going on, they couldn't figure out what was going on in Lucian's room for a while.
It wasn't until Lucien and Matvey's short but thrilling spell battle that their attention was already focused on mid-air that they realized the "truth" of the matter.
"He's a mid-level magician?!Damn a liar!" Ivanovsky's two "bear eyes" widened, as if to tear the gold-rimmed glasses, and the intense consternation was followed by crazy anger and curse! This unexpected situation made him understand Petrov's deep reluctance before his death and Matvey's desperate horror at this moment.
Kaliliana's beautiful eyes were half open, her two rows of white and neat teeth could not be closed, and her heart was full of surprise and curses: "He is not a knight, he is a magician? He may not even be Peter, Joseph, Vladimir! Liar, liar, every word he says is a lie!"
It's a pity that they were already one step too late to rescue Matvey, the battle was too fast and too short!
Immediately after, they blurted out at the same time: "Mr. Nikonov!"
The object of their respectful address was none other than Semyon, the butler who flew out of Count Werther's room, a high-level magician whose breath was as deep as the sea.
But in fact, the housekeeper Semyon's surname is not Nikonov!
............
Semyon, the butler known as Mr. Nikonov, floated outside Lucian's room, looking intently at Lucian through the windows and curtains that had been shattered by the scorching light and pyrotechnics, his gaze so grim and cold, as if he were staring at a dead man.
After discovering the fact that he was a high-level magician, Lucien was shocked and stunned. But he also had the experience of facing a high-level mage and killing him by luck, and he was not as desperate as ordinary mages for the overwhelming gap between ranks, and Lucien had experienced many life-and-death battles. At this time, he kept his composure very well and did not hesitate to activate the Transfiguration Robe.
The castle is deep and wide, and there is still a glimmer of life when it turns into rats and walks around! Especially if it alarms the priests, knights, and grand knights of the withered vine castle, as long as they are not all killed in an instant. will be able to send a signal to Cardinal Nevsky in the city of Ural for help!
If you use the "Elemental Vortex" directly, if a high-level mage is in good condition. It's hard to hurt it, and it's going to put you in a state of complete despair!
But just as Lucien's spirit moved, and the transformation robe was about to take effect, he found that his thinking had become extremely slow, and his mental power was difficult to control, and even a simple trigger could not be completed.
"...... Magic...... Effect...... "The brain is running like rusty gears, Lucien thought hard.
A high-level magician who was well prepared and had not yet experienced a fierce battle was so terrifying!
It was only then that Lucien realized how rare it was for Felipe to be able to escape from the high-ranking necromancer, fight back with feigning his death, and consume a lot of his powerful magic and items. What a rebellion, worthy of being the most outstanding one of the geniuses of this generation.
However, Felipe was already the fifth ring when he encountered the high-level magician, and Lucien was still two levels behind, and there was no life-saving method similar to the "life concealment technique".
Semyon, who directly affected Lucian's soul and brain with the six-ring magic "Sluggishness", maintained the calm state that the caster was accustomed to. But there is always a wave of anger rising in his heart, his most proud student, the most loyal subordinate, was actually killed alive in front of him, and under his carelessness, he could only watch and have no time to rescue.
The great humiliation and resentment made Semyon say coldly: "I will turn you into a frog and endure endless torture to make you understand that sometimes it is better to die than to live!"
Words seemed to float out from between his teeth, with a gust of wind.
He doesn't care whether this bastard magician belongs to the Magic Council or which powerful ancient inheritance magician he has, he will have to pay the price for killing his own students, and he also has a huge organization behind him!
"No...... Be...... Direct...... Slay...... That...... And also...... Opportunity ......"
At this point of despair, Lucien still did not give up, and was still trying to get rid of the effects of sluggishness, refusing to let go of any opportunity.
It is never fate that makes people lose the last glimmer of hope, but their own abandonment!
As long as you don't die, never give up!
Lucian's soul, which was completely resilient, bloomed with a bright and clear light, and his mind began to slowly return to normal.
But it was too late, and there was a high-level mage on the other side, and even if he had to endure the spell casting buffer, he could activate his magic much faster than Lucian's recovery.
The difference in strength between the two sides is too big!
Semyon's azure eyes became dark, like the unusually calm and oppressive ocean before the storm, and Lucien suddenly felt that his body was decomposing in a strange way and would reassemble with some regularity.
Malicious Transfiguration!
A cloud of black mist appeared around Lucian, and Leo in the compartment was much slower to rush out and knock the old man away.
Suddenly, the black sky with the cold glow of the silver moon turned yellow, and tentacle-like wilted roots stood out in all directions.
These overwhelming shadows suddenly retracted, enveloping Semyon like a ball!
Inside the castle, the earthy earth quickly became barren, the flowers that had survived the cold and still bloomed quickly withered, and the dark green needles withered strangely......
This is a power comparable to that of a high-level mage!
"Dry Shadow!"
"Uncle Werther!"
Frightened and silent were Ivanovsky and Kaliliana, the biggest fears they thought they could forget, leave them alone, but often had palpitations when they dreamed back at midnight:
"A seventh-level heavenly knight, a strong man who came out of the sea of corpse mountains and blood, and a knight with his own unique honorary title, is he just controlled by himself and others?!"
"Even if he is really old, the serious illness has caused his physical condition to deteriorate rapidly, even if there is Nikonov, the high-level magician of the Six Rings. While he was sick, he slowly weakened the imperceptible curse, but his prestige still made people fearful!"
And today, when it all seems to be coming to a good end. Ivanovsky and Kaliliana's hidden worries played out in a nightmare way!
Inside the withered orb, a strange light flashed on Semyon's body, and the whole person suddenly disappeared, and then appeared in the distant shadows. At the same time, the body surface is covered with a layer of armor condensed by energy.
Six Rings Magic "Spell Trigger"!
This is the signature magic that divides the middle and high levels, because building it within the soul means one more life, one more chance!
It is activated according to the different conditions set at the time of preparation. Some are dying, and some are suddenly attacked and cannot react themselves. When the situation is satisfied, the "Spell Trigger" created by stress will cast two spells stored in its model that are no more than half of its own level in an instant, without any interruption, so it is the best magic for life-saving and emergency defense.
After getting rid of the dry shadow with the two pre-stored three-ring magic spells "Shadow Jump" and "High Mage Armor", "Semyon" stabilized the situation.
The withered orb was stretched into a figure, and the old and dying Count Witt stood proudly.
He held a dark black greatsword in both hands. The wrinkles and ashes on his face were still the same, only a killing momentum was added. But it was because of this feeling that Count Witte immediately seemed energetic, completely different from ordinary rotten old men.
"Even if I'm dying, I can still kill. Count Werther's eyes lifted slightly. said coldly, and then with a wave of the giant sword, it turned into countless afterimages and attacked "Xie Miao".
His patience finally paid off for this opportunity!
Due to the interruption of the "Malicious Transfiguration" at the critical moment of Count Werther, the black mist dissipated on its own before it could completely envelop Lucian, which made Lucian immediately feel that his body was back to its original state, and the impact of the sluggish technique had been broken.
"Let's go!" Glancing at Leo, Lucien jumped to the castle courtyard first, not taking advantage of the fierce battle between the Heavenly Knight and the High Mage to escape, how long would it take?
Whether it was a high-ranking mage disguised as Semyon or Count Witt of the "Dry Shadow" who won, Lucien believed that they would not mind killing him again, after all, the former's student was killed by himself, and the latter was a celestial knight who hunted many mages, besides, this is the Shahran Empire, a country that is always wanted and ready to burn mages at any time.
As for Lucien's choice to jump into the courtyard and escape at the speed of a knight, it was because the air was full of withered shadows, and it was easy to be affected by the not-so-fast flying technique.
Leo was just about to jump, when he suddenly intuitively sensed Ivanovsky in another window, so his heart moved, his body suddenly became larger, surrounded by frost, and then his muscles knotted with his long sword in the air and pounced on the window where Ivanovsky was.
"Ivanovsky's two mid-level guards were killed by the master, this is the best chance to kill him, and killing him can also interrupt the intelligence contact of the smuggling organization, so that the master can escape a lot easier, whether it is to repay the kindness of saving his life, or to avenge his family, I can't give up this opportunity, I can't be stingy with my life!"
Ivanovsky seemed to be worried about being affected by the battle between the two high-ranking powerhouses, and he also wanted to learn Lucian to jump into the courtyard, but at this time, Leo attacked unexpectedly.
Facing Leo, a sneer appeared at the corner of Ivanovsky's mouth, who was in a weak position: "It turned out to be you." ”
"Die!" Leo felt his blood boiling, and his sword was about to slash the enemy.
But soon, to his astonishment, he saw Ivanovsky's right fist swing, and then he was plunged into the darkness, flying upside down like a broken kite.
"Great Knight?!He's Great Knight!"
Ivanovsky's tight suit changed into a silver-white full-body armor, his expression was cold, he held a giant sword in both hands, jumped in the air, and chased Lucian.
This big smuggler turned out not to be a bloodline ability activated by a potion, but a real great knight!
No wonder so many times the Assassins couldn't hurt him!
And Kaliliana muttered to herself, "Grand Knight, he's a liar!"
"The Grand Knight Ivanovsky, who is disguised as a quasi-knight-level smuggler, Mr. Nikonov, a high-ranking magician disguised as Semyon, the housekeeper, Uncle Werther, who is disguised as an old man who has not found anything and is quietly waiting for the dead, the middle-level magician who is disguised as a member of the Vladimir family and a full-fledged knight, Ivanovsky's enemy who is disguised as Peter's butler, and I who is disguised as a woman with a weak blood who has not yet aroused blood, this is really a wonderful stage play, and everyone is an excellent theatrical actor......"
