Chapter 18 "Second" Kill (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
The moonlight was cold and misty, and after penetrating the curtains, it became extremely faint, not only did not eliminate the darkness in Lucian's room, but brought inexplicable gloom.
The darkness of different shades changes with the change of light, and at first glance it seems to be creeping like life, but when you look closely, it is so gloomy and so quiet, it seems to be eternal.
In such darkness, Lucian, who was lying on the bed, let out a slow and long breath, which made the atmosphere of the whole room more peaceful and soft, and brought people a pleasant feeling of good dreams.
"From the feedback from the darkness, he did lie in bed......"
"Two long swords are placed on both sides of the bed, ten centimeters away from the hand, very vigilant......"
"The breathing is normal, the heartbeat is normal, the mental fluctuations are normal, but the hands are pressed by the body or the quilt, and it is difficult to examine them closely...... The sleeping position is really ugly, and there is no so-called aristocratic elegance at all...... But it's okay, it will slow down the speed at which he can pick up the enchanted sword after reacting for about a second, which may be a second between life and death......"
"He slept very deeply, maybe it was the knights and grand knights who patrolled and guarded the castle in the withered vine castle that gave him a sense of security......"
"The amulet is still worn on the chest, and according to intelligence, it activates quickly, but the anti-death barrier is only for instant death and curse magic, and can neither defend against physical and elemental attacks, nor can it cause damage to the attacker......"
"And it's not a high-level item, it can't be triggered by stress, and this magic talisman and other magic items that may exist on Peter can't work before I kill him......"
"Ninety-nine percent sure he'll send him to hell before he wakes up!"
After careful observation, Petrov had a preliminary judgment and made up his mind.
In the calm darkness beside Lucien's bed, a figure suddenly appeared, and he seemed to be directly separated from the darkness, highlighting without warning!
The figure stepped along, dragging out the afterimage. In his right hand, he held a short sword with a dark green light as rich as liquid, and slashed at Lucian's throat fiercely!
Just now, Petrov didn't dare to get too close, and he didn't dare to have any murderous intent. It's the fear of triggering Lucian's dangerous instincts and making things change. Although even though Lucien had a third- or fourth-level magic longsword and a fourth- or fifth-level magic item, Petrov was not afraid. The powerful ability brought by the dark bloodline allows him to easily consume the amount of divine mana, and then easily slaughter the lamb in front of him, but the only problem is that the amount of divine power is level five. It is very likely that Matvey's magic will be broken to cover the movement and let the great knights in the castle notice, and then things will become quite troublesome.
The terrifying speed made Petrov get close to Lucien in an instant, and the short blade swung in his right hand fell just right at this time, slashing at the neck of Lucian, who was sleeping on his side, without a trace of deviation.
But just as the short sword slashed Lucian's neck, Petrov suddenly felt an astringent fluctuation. It's so familiar, and it's so terrifying on such an occasion!
Petrov was stunned to see Lucien under the dagger shattering into countless pieces like a mirror.
The second ring magic "Mirror Shadow Technique"!
Although the Dark Bloodline is immune to magic below its level, it only refers to defense, and its attacks are also partially disturbed by magic.
The flying fragments of the "mirror" sparkled strangely in the darkness, giving Petrov a dreamy beauty.
"Magician?!! Not good!" Petrov slashed his sword into the mirror image. He soon came back to his senses and realized that his information was wrong, and all his judgments were wrong! So his body quickly blurred and blackened, and he quickly retreated backwards without hesitation!
But it was this short moment of astonishment that slowed him down a little, and he saw a divine and solemn light light on Lucian's chest, who was half a bed away from the mirror.
Immediately after, the entire room was filled with the scorching brightness of the vastness of the sacred.
And within this incandescent light, the black figure stood out, as if it was being neutralized by the holy light.
Level 3 Divine Skill "Scorching Radiance"! Area-based Attack!
Petrov endured the pain, did not howl, and managed to dodge with difficulty, but he was directly enveloped by the scorching light, as if he was in a quagmire, and as if he was carrying a burden of thousands of pounds, and moved very slowly.
Without hesitation, Petrov activated the magic ring he wore on the tail finger of his left hand.
But the pale black light of the magic ring had just bloomed, and Lucien, who was standing on the bed, was in a state of mind, and it was directly an "elemental order"!
Crackling, boom!
The magic ring made a shattering sound, then the amount of mana that was being activated became unstable, and it exploded in a dull but terrifying way, completely enveloping Petrov before it had yet to darken, and exploding his light brown blood in all directions.
With Lucian's outstanding mental strength among the current three-ring magicians, the "Elemental Order" can destroy most of the alchemy items of the fourth level without protection such as energy and force field!
But every time such destruction, Lucien is quite distressed, that means that another possible loot is destroyed like this, no wonder the Nine Rings Great Cracking Technique has the title of "Enemy and I are crying", because as soon as it is used, the magic items below the legend on the enemy's body are almost all destroyed, even if the enemy is killed, there is no gain, and I have to look at the broken items that were originally extremely precious and annoyed.
And it's a range-of-effect magic that doesn't distinguish between friend or foe, if you're still standing with teammates...... So Lucian's "elemental order" is much more "conscientious".
Seeing Petrov's efforts to change in darkness in the explosion, Lucian didn't give him a chance, and the "Corona of the Sun" talisman on his chest lit up with a soft and divine light again, and a flame that seemed to fall from the sky hit Petrov directly.
Petrov, who had unleashed the most forbidden and powerful ability of the dark bloodline, "Dark Assimilation", had just escaped most of the influence of the "Scorching Radiance", but he could only see in despair that the flame light was like a divine punishment from heaven, completely enveloping him.
Within the flame light of the "Flame Strike Technique", Petrov's darkened body quickly dissolved, and soon disappeared!
His unwillingness was so strong that it seemed to echo through the room with a silent scream!
Most of Petrov's dark bloodline's abilities have not yet been revealed, what spells such as "dark corrosion" and "dark assimilation", what comprehensive improvement in speed, strength, agility, balance, and will in the dark, what immunity to many supernatural effects, and magic and magic below the immune level, all have not yet been revealed. He fell into a series of deliberate, only a few seconds of magic combined with divine attacks!
How could he be willing?!
With a bang, the third-level magic dagger damaged by the Flame Strike Technique landed on the thick carpet, making a dull sound.
With the activation of the fifth-level divine technique "Flame Strike Technique". The amount of magic power in the entire room fluctuated to an extreme, but it was still barely able to break through the invisible veil, and failed to alarm the great knights and knights in the Withered Vine Castle as Lucien had best predicted.
Since it was expected that Lucian's magic items would be level four or five, Matvey naturally did not carelessly arrange the magic array that hid movement according to the standard of level five!
The invisible curtain is difficult to maintain. and the consternation caused by Lucien's defeat in a matter of seconds and Petrov's defeat in just a few seconds, making it difficult for Matvey to remain invisible, and a figure appeared in the air outside Lucian's window in Ivanovsky's room.
And at this time. Lucien, who had passed through the spell casting buffer, turned his head to look out the window without hesitation, his eyes flashed with a deep light, and his spiritual force field locked on Matvey in the air outside!
As early as when they began to monitor and probe, the prepared Lucien found out about their movements!
Invisible fluctuations were generated, and Matvey, who had blessed himself with "Mechanical Mind" and "Spirit Armor" before taking action, suddenly saw that the transparent armor that could protect the soul from being attacked to a certain extent shattered silently.
After a brief crush on Lucian, he quickly came to his senses. But the soul still tingles slightly, producing a little dizziness, and it is difficult to concentrate.
"This is a seductive human?Why is the effect on the soul so strong?!" Matvey has a layer of defense that counteracts most of the enchanting human influences, so the soul's vertigo is not severe, even if it is unexpected. Mental power can't activate the spell model in the body for the time being, but it can still use magic items.
So he activated his magic boots firmly, without hesitation, and before Lucien could cast his second spell, a flicker disappeared in place.
However, he vaguely sensed Petrov's fate and understood that if he was not careful, he would be followed by a violent storm and a combination attack that would make it difficult for people to free up their hands until they died, and they had to dodge it first, so they immediately used the three-ring magic "short teleportation" that comes with the magic item!
Lucien, who was in the casting buffer, could not use the "Elemental Order" to destroy the magic items used by Matvey at this time, but he had a lot of powerful equipment and calmly activated the "Elemental" ring.
Outside the window, a dark yellow-green mist appeared out of thin air, enveloping the air outside more than sixty rooms on the upper and lower floors.
In the mist, several tall dark green coniferous trees planted in the courtyard of the castle immediately withered and mottled, and the insects hidden in them fell to the ground one by one, rotting rapidly...... It was as if no life could survive in this fog.
This is the magic of the five rings, this is the "poisonous mist of Gaston"! If you are not prepared, even a little mist will be poisoned to death!
The teleporting Matvey couldn't cross such a wide range, and when he flashed into mid-air, the yellow-green mist was still around him.
As a mage, Matvey was wary of similar mist, held his breath on the spot, and then cast the "air filter" spell within his soul.
It is going to stabilize it before using "Smoke Dispersal" to dispel the yellow-green mist, after all, it will take some time to completely dispel it!
But what made him panic was that his second-ring magic air filter bubble was little contaminated with color in the yellow-green mist, and he couldn't completely filter and clear the poisonous mist.
"This is the magic of the five rings?bastard, how many mid-level magic items does this damn thing have?!" Matvey understood the limits of the "air filter", which could only deal with toxins produced by magic below the fourth ring. So, I immediately realized the horror of the fog around me, and at the same time cursed Lucien in disbelief and jealousy, with so many powerful magic items!
He believes that this is the source of his own restraint and imminent failure.
And at this time, something happened that shocked Matvey, and his skin began to festering without warning!
The poisonous mist of this five rings can slowly penetrate into the body through skin contact, and it can actually penetrate the "Protective Energy Damage" magic without any hindrance!
"It's a unique magic?!"
Matvey's brain was a little blurry, but the effect of the permeable mist was not as good as direct breathing, so he could be regarded as having experienced a lot of dangers, so he forcibly kept his calm and began to activate a transformation magic "vaporized form" attached to the magic robe!
As long as he uses this magic, he will vaporize into a virtual body, temporarily getting rid of the erosion of the poisonous mist, but in the same way, as an imaginary body, he cannot cast spells normally, and can only fly.
But how could Lucien let him get his wish, the "Elemental Order" was activated again, and the light of Matvey's magic robe dimmed as soon as it flashed, and countless holes appeared!
"What kind of magic is this?" Matvey, whose body was rapidly turning into pus, flashed through his last thoughts.
From the beginning of the spelling of humans, exactly five seconds passed.
At this moment, a force field turned into a large hand suddenly appeared, trying to grab Matvey, who was falling.
At the same time, the unforeseen wind completely blew away the yellow-green mist, leaving the castle back in mid-air. Then, a figure flew out of Count Werther's room, his expression full of anger, as if angry that he had failed to save Matvey in time.
Its breath is fully revealed, like the sea when a storm falls.
His hair was gray and wrinkled, and he was actually Semyon, the butler of Count Werther!
"High Magician?!"
Lucien was stunned to discover this horrible fact. (To be continued.) )
