"Ivanovsky?" Lucien couldn't hide his shock when he saw that the guy who sneaked in was Ivanovsky, who had just slipped away by chasing him, if he hadn't heard footsteps before, he had entered the spell casting focus, and had always been good at keeping calm, and now he had withdrawn from the invisible state due to the violent fluctuations in his emotions.
The city of Ural is the size of Alinge, and the wilderness to the west is even more sparsely populated and the mountains are continuous, but it is inconceivable that two people who are trying to avoid each other and flee from different directions can meet at the bottom of such a narrow and dark mine!
"Did it happen to happen? Or did he actually follow me secretly?"
Lucien tried to calm his heartbeat, breathing, etc., so as not to break through the natural cover of invisibility, and at the same time restrain any idea of killing Ivanovsky, he is a great knight, and his instinct for danger is amazing!
Lucien, who was hiding in a hidden place, calmly watched as Ivanovsky stopped and looked around the bottom of the mine.
Perhaps he didn't expect to run into anyone else in such a remote and abandoned place, or perhaps for some other reason, Ivanovsky didn't thoroughly scrutinize the bottom of the mine. After he swept it hastily with his keen gaze and intuition, he exhaled softly, and seemed to relax a lot.
Then Ivanovsky turned around, walked to the stand near the gap in the necromancy, got down on one knee, drew a cross on his chest, and prayed in a low voice: "God the Father, come down and dwell in us, cleanse us from all filth, and save our souls......"
"He's going to pray at this time?" Lucien thought to himself, a little confused. This big smuggler, this rough and direct "villain" with ruthless methods. This great knight with superb "acting skills" is actually a "pure good" believer who sincerely believes in the god of truth?!
Lucien, a knowledgeable and well-informed "scholar," quickly came to his senses: "No, neither the Northern Church nor the Southern Church. In addressing the God of Truth, either the Lord or the True God and the Supreme Being, there is never a word for addressing God the Father. Moreover, the orthodox crosses are obviously long up and down, short and left and right, unlike the crosses painted by Ivanovsky, which are short up and down and long on the left and right, which is ugly and has a strange taste. β
"It's a believer in other gods? The Arcane Library's book "A Compendium of All the True Gods Who Can Give Divine Magic" can be seen in the Tao. In order to circumvent the influence of the Cult of God-truth, the Church of no 'deity' still uses the cross as a symbol......"
"What is behind Ivanovsky?"
Things get weirder, and Lucien tries to suppress his thoughts, so that they don't get so active that Ivanovsky notices.
As Ivanovsky's short prayer ended, a solemn and vast aura of magic appeared in front of him, and a little milky white light slowly lit up.
To Lucien's great surprise, this divine aura was a true divine breath of truth. It is not a divine spell given by nature or other godsβthe magic cast by the priests of different churches is the same in common in its characteristics, but it is different in its subtleties.
"Can use special magic skills, is he a paladin?!"
The magic light spread out and burrowed into Ivanovsky's eyes, and then he smiled and stretched out his right hand. Inserted the Necromantic Rift with unerring accuracy.
"If Count Witte pursues him, take refuge in it for the time being. Thank God the Father for providing such a hidden and overlapping world realm with the main realm, who?!" Ivanovsky first muttered to himself easily, and then his face changed drastically, and his left hand quickly picked up the giant sword and slashed at the corner where Lucien was, while his right hand quickly withdrew and grasped the hilt of the sword.
Seeing him plunge his right hand into the rift in the necromancy and hearing his words of thanking Father, Lucien's heart was filled with turmoil, what was going on?!
Even if Lucien is so good at controlling his emotions and maintaining a calm state, when he witnesses such a subversive thing, he will inevitably lose control for a while, and the drastic changes in his emotions are keenly noticed by Ivanovsky, the great knight!
However, as soon as his mood changed, Lucien knew in his heart that it was not good, and after forcibly stabilizing it, he activated the spell model in his soul as soon as possible.
A circle of blue and serene water curtain light centered on Lucian's body, spreading rapidly in all directions.
The Three-Ring Magic "Intense Sleep Technique"!This is another new magic that Lucien has built into his soul in the months since he entered the Shahran Empire.
Originally, it was the best choice to entangle Ivanovsky with spider webs at this time, but this two-ring magic currently belongs to a special type of magic like the "Muskeline Star", even if the spell model is built in the soul, it needs to be matched with spell materials, and it is too late to have time.
Ivanovsky was extremely fast, but the "Intense Sleep Technique" was a ranged wave attack, so he didn't have a chance to dodge at all.
But when he raised his two-handed giant sword and slashed at the aura of intense sleep magic, a layer of milky white holy light appeared on his body, so the dark blue water curtain was directly split after shaking violently, just like the sea was separated.
A small splash of "faint blue light" affected Ivanovsky, but he regained consciousness with only a slight fog in his eyes, and continued to advance and slash without delay.
"This?"
Lucien didn't expect the intense sleep technique to be so ineffective, only halting Ivanovsky's faint time, barely slowing him down at his own speed.
Such a big mistake was almost the difference between life and death, but fortunately, Lucien still had a back hand, and his spirit moved, and the "elemental" ring was activated, and the golden-white flames appeared out of thin air outside the evening dress, forming a magical flame shield.
Ivanovsky's milky sword slashed at the shield of golden-white flames, sending countless sparks flying.
The flame shield shook violently, as if it were showing signs of disintegrating, and Ivanovsky snorted, and was swept back into his body by the flames, burning patches of charred black.
The "Powerful Fire Shield" can not only defend against physical, elemental, and pure energy attacks, but also deal severe fire reflection damage to enemies who attack at close range, and is a magic that can kill him even if he stands still and allows the enemy to attack, but many of the strange attacks that Lucian encountered before were death, curses, and souls. This five-ring magic didn't exert its true power!
"Damn, how many powerful magic items does this guy have?!" Ivanovsky also found out that it was "Peter" who was spying on him, but he was even more surprised. It also uses a five-ring magic, which is also activated by a magic item.
Ivanovsky was very annoyed and angry, if he was faced with all the defensive magic of the third ring or most of the defensive magic of the fourth ring, he was quite sure that he would "split" the defense with a sword. Kill "Peter", but he has too many powerful magic items on him, isn't it?
However, Ivanovsky, as a great knight, was tenacious and determined. Instead of being immersed in frustration and suffering from the damage caused by the flame shield, a layer of milky white light appeared on his body to quell the burning flames, and then quickly shifted his position to avoid locking, and then continued to slash with the greatsword in exchange for injury.
And with each heavy blow, the "Powerful Flame Shield" of the Five Rings shook abnormally. It seemed to have been structurally damaged, and at the same time, with Ivanovsky's slash, the air around Lucian vibrated strangely, making it difficult for his soul and mental power to stabilize.
This severely interferes with Lucian's follow-up spellcast. Lengthens his cast buffer.
"Is it the 'interference' bloodline?another pure mage-hunter bloodline!" Lucien, as a magician, is a must to be knowledgeable, because only in this way can he judge the opponent's ability at a glance when he is racing against time.
Each hit of the "Interfere" bloodline has a similar effect to disarming magic, and if it hits, it can severely interfere with spellcasting. In addition, it can interfere with the functioning of magic, so it is very resistant to magic, and it is one of the true mage's nemesis. And it is even more powerful when combined with the support of the Paladin's magic, such as Ivanovsky's ability to extinguish the fire shield and rebound.
"Ivanovsky's strength is at level five, but his speed and agility are not at level four, and he should have items on his body that enhance his strength. However, paladins of the 'Interference' bloodline are very demanding on magical and magical items, unable to use amulets, necklaces, rings, etc., and can only wear large items such as armor, boots, gloves, etc., which can carve redundant, complex anti-interference circles. β
Lucien calmly judged Ivanovsky's strength as the flame shield shook and was in danger of being cut off, and at the same time, he tried to stabilize his soul and spirit, trying to get rid of the distraction.
Holding the "Ambora Staff" in his left hand, with the help of its condensing spiritual effect, Lucien unleashed the potential of his soul. The previous experience of breaking free from the influence of the six-ring magic "sluggishness" seems to have caused a slight change in Lucian's soul, and under the interference of Ivanovsky's incessant slashing, he actually recovered faster than expected, and slowly got rid of the casting buffer.
Ivanovsky slammed into the regular mage hunter tactics, and although his body burned everywhere, it was not fatal, and the powerful flame shield was on the verge of shattering.
When it was truly shattered, Ivanovsky believed that he would be able to quickly kill "Peter" whose spellcasting was severely interfered with.
Suddenly, he had an extremely dangerous instinct, and decisively gave up attacking Lucien, and without hesitation, he turned around and left, rushing towards the gap in the necromantic realm.
At this moment, a dark yellow-green gas bubbled up from the bottom of the mine, solidified like amber, beautiful but extremely dangerous.
With just a little contamination, Ivanovsky felt dizzy and his body weakened, but he was not afraid, and the milky white light combined with divine magic and interference power suddenly exploded, emptying the vicinity and obscuring his vision and spiritual power.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ivanovsky pounced on the crack in the necromancy.
"How many times can this guy use the Five Rings Magic?"
"Fortunately, there is a passage given by the Father, and no other living beings can detect or enter except those who are favored by the Father!"
Upon entering the realm of the dead, all colors faded, leaving only the black of heavy despair, the white of sorrow and monotony, the gray of loneliness and gloom, and the oppression of eternal silence.
Ivanovsky, who was dizzy, half-knelt on the ground, driving his blood veins to fight against the damage caused by the poisonous mist, and drops of pus were forced out, and his vitality began to recover rapidly.
Ivanovsky, who was in a safe environment, was about to rejoice when his head suddenly dizzy, followed by a sharp pain like a pinprick in the face. This sudden attack made Ivanovsky's interfering bloodline ineffective.
Enchanting Humans (Knight Edition)!
Ivanovsky's eyes were stunned to see Lucien appear in the necromancy, his hands clenching his sword and slashing down.
"How did he get in? How did he know that he was here?!"
Severe vertigo rendered Ivanovsky unable to move, and was slashed by Lucian's sword where his armor had been corroded.
No sound came out, and the armor was not destroyed, but Ivanovsky felt his mind and body become sluggish, and with the influence of the previous magic, his every move seemed to be in slow motion!
"Frost", a long sword that slows down enemies!
After two swords in a row, Lucian jumped backwards, and with a finger of his right hand, Ivanovsky's already corroded helmet disintegrated into countless black, white, and gray lights.
As soon as the Elemental Order lifted the defense of Ivanovsky's head, Lucien activated the Fireweaver's bracelet, and a skull-sized fireball flew towards Ivanovsky's head.
Ivanovsky watched the fireball fly aggrievedly, but he was too slow to dodge and was shot directly in the head.
A silent explosion was made, and by the time the smoke had subsided, numerous wounds appeared on Ivanovsky's head, and black, white and gray liquid flowed everywhere.
However, his Great Knight-level defense made him not die, but instead escaped the effects of sluggishness and regained his speed.
The only problem was that Ivanovsky's head was so chaotic that it was difficult to make effective judgments at all, and he only subconsciously sped up to avoid being locked by magic.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late, and another fireball flew over.
The fireball, which was much larger than just now, hit Ivanovsky's head again, raising a small black mushroom cloud.
Ivanovsky received successive blows, and the previous toxins had not been completely eliminated by the body, and now began to erupt violently, so after shaking a few times, he fell to his knees.
Paladin Ivanovsky, 3rd Degree, died.
Lucien did not relax, stepped forward and cut off Ivanovsky's head with a sword, and only then let out a long breath.
He followed in firstly to extinguish his mouth, and secondly, Gaston's poisonous mist caused the powerful flame shield that was about to shatter to completely disappear, and if he hadn't hid in the necromantic realm in time, he would have turned into a puddle of pus.
This spell can easily hurt himself, so at the bottom of the narrow mine, Lucien initially didn't plan to use it, until he was nearly defeated by Ivanovsky, and then took the risk of using it.
"This is a projection of the hall of the withered vine castle?!"
After killing Ivanovsky, Lucien had time to look at the place where he was currently located, and found that this was actually a black, white and gray withered vine castle hall, wide and deep, quiet and quiet.
As Lucien looked around, a chuckle came from above the hall that didn't match the silent environment of the Necromantic Realm!
Lucien looked up vigilantly and stunned, only to see a familiar young man sitting leisurely above the Earl's throne above the hall.
He was wearing a red shirt, a black turtleneck jacket, long silver hair was scattered, his facial features were handsome and bewitching, and he held a glass of red liquid in his right hand and raised it to Lucian:
"Welcome. (To be continued.) )
