Chapter 13: The Battle in the Mine (Part II)
There would also be a few days of the month when the scholar was more emotional, and Revi, who had regained his senses, let go of Leif's collar. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Ice wall!" Leif raised his hand and waved his hand, and suddenly another ice wall rose from the ground, blocking the approaching big centipede in time.
"Yes, you're right, we're going to save her now, but what exactly should we do?" Lef, who used the second-order spell ice wall to block the big centipede, was about to continue to attack the big centipede with the fireball technique, but was stopped by Rivi.
"What spell did you use on this giant centipede?" asked Levi, staring at the giant centipede.
He had already used all the spells that Leif had learned now, he was just a minor mage at the level of a mage apprentice, and the third-order fire explosion technique was already his strongest fire spell at this stage.
But none of this worked against the big centipede, no, it shouldn't be said to be ineffective, it just couldn't burn through the carapace of the other party, and Leif relayed it all to Levi.
Rivi is indeed a weak person who is not physically good and can't spell, but he can still observe, and after observation, he will also think, it is impossible for a creature to be without weaknesses, and without weakness Levi will create weaknesses for him!
The carapace of this giant centipede was very hard and very heat-resistant, and even Levi's alchemy grenade could only knock the centipede to the ground at most, let alone Leif's first-order fireball technique.
But if it's heat-resistant, will it be frost-resistant?
In this regard, Leif shook his head, "It's useless, my ice arrow can't pierce it, the first-order ice archery technique is the most powerful ice spell I can use now."
Pinching his chin, Levi looked at the big centipede that hit the ice wall again, it seems that this guy is not only resistant to heat, but also resistant to freezing, which is a bit troublesome.
The jaws of the big centipede kept pushing against the ice wall, cutting down layer after layer of ice, and the ice wall was about to be unstoppable, and Leif didn't have much mana left, all of which was used to make the ice wall was no different from waiting for death.
"You said you knew how to use the third-order fire explosion technique and ice archery technique, right?" Levi suddenly looked up at Leif.
Leif was stunned, he didn't know why Levi was asking this, "I major in fire spells, ice spells are not good at, and the power of the two is not comparable at all."
"Use the fire explosion technique first, burn, burn me hard!"
"I told you that I don't have much mana, and my mana won't be enough when I use up the fire blast technique, and when the time comes, there will be no ice wall, and both of us will have to die" Leif hesitated.
"Listen to me, just this time, I have a way to deal with this big centipede, hurry up!"
The two ice walls were faintly collapsing under the impact of the big centipede, and Leif's head was covered with cold sweat when he saw this, and finally he gritted his teeth, "I'll listen to you!"
A large amount of mana was poured into the spell book in Lef's hand, and a circle of fiery breath came out of the book, and at this time, a little envy flashed in Levi's eyes.
Like these powerful spells, he would never have learned them in his life, but Levi was a contented man, and alchemy was already the greatest gift from heaven to him.
"Fire Explosion Technique!" A fiery red magic circle appeared on the ground, and a series of flames swept through the air from the magic circle under Leif's control, and a little spark fell, and then Leif's hands pushed forward hard, and a huge fire mass several times larger than the fireball technique flew towards the centipede.
The Great Centipede may have already been attacked by the Burst of Fire, so instead of dodging, it continued to ram into the ice wall, allowing the Burst to smash into his hard carapace.
Boom! The flames engulfed the body of the giant centipede in an instant, and the blazing flames turned into reflections in Levi's eyes, and the red of the fire was intertwined with the original red of Rivi's eyes.
The heat even vaporized one of the ice walls, and the water that had turned liquid back into the other wall flowed down the bottom half of the ice wall to the ground, and the large centipede twisted in the fire created by the fire explosion.
Leif, who was extremely hoping to solve the other party's problem with the fire explosion technique, was a little dry in his throat, and the nervousness in his eyes could be seen as long as he was a person.
However, what awaits Leif is only disappointment, the fire explosion technique failed to burn through the carapace of the giant centipede, and gradually extinguished, all hope has come to naught, it seems that this time he not only can't save Noxi, but even himself will die here.
Leif laughed miserably and put down his hand, the mana in his body could form an ice wall again, so that he would not die so quickly.
But once again, something shocked Leif happened, only to see Levi staring at the big centipede that was coming back and steaming all over his body, smiling slightly, and pulling Leif to hide behind the remaining half of the ice wall.
"Get your ice archery ready, don't hesitate when I tell you to put it"
Some of the centipedes' steps may have been slightly injured in the fire, and their mobility was a little difficult, so they limped forward as they went, but that's not what Levi valued.
“... Are you playing with me?"
Leif is also fed up with Levi, and uses up the large fire spells before using the ice spells? Doesn't he know that the use of ice spells will be greatly reduced at this time?
Or is Levi really stupid? Most people also know that after being burned by fire, ice cubes should be put on the treatment immediately, and ice and fire are the most exclusive spell attributes.
Besides, Leif's attainment in ice spells is the lowest in all spells, and his ice arrow skills just have a shape, which is far worse than mages who specialize in ice spells.
"Get ready" Levi didn't know what Leif thought of him, he confirmed the location of the big centipede and took out all the alchemy grenades left in his pocket, holding one with his teeth and two in his left and right hands.
"I only have enough mana left for this ice archery," Leif said desperately, leaning against the ice wall.
"Don't worry, Noshi is still waiting for us, we won't let you die"
Leif smiled reluctantly, glanced at the position of the big centipede wordlessly, and gathered mana again, filling the spell book with an icy aura, and the ice-blue circle also appeared on the ground.
"Ice Archery!" Leif made a move with one hand, and several irregular diamond-shaped ice picks shot out of the circle, but in terms of power and explosive fire, there was a world of difference.
"Use up your mana to shoot ice arrows all the time, don't stop".
I didn't know what Levi was up to, but if he was going to die, Leif did as he said.
Leif poured all the mana in his body into the ice blue circle, and the speed at which the circle fired ice arrows suddenly accelerated, and a large number of ice arrows were all shot at the carapace of the large centipede that was close at hand.
Bang bang bang.
The impact of the powerless ice arrow shattered on the carapace, but a large amount would also cause a qualitative change, and this qualitative change was exactly what Levi needed, and the carapace of the big centipede began to cool down rapidly after being burned by the high temperature of the fire blasting technique.
Leif's Ice Arrow is really not very powerful, but just like fire spells can cause additional burns, no matter how weak the power of the Ice Arrow is, it can still freeze the enemy.
His face was already flushed, and Leif, who had completely drained his mana, was still insisting on shooting ice arrows, and more and more ice arrows smashed into the body of the big centipede, shattering.
At this time, the definitions of these ice arrows in the eyes of Leif and Levi are completely different, Leif is only concerned about his ice arrows being broken and has no lethality at all, while Levi is concerned about the temperature on the carapace of the big centipede when the ice arrows are broken.
If the ice arrow is broken, the carapace of the big centipede will also be shattered, and even if it is not broken, its hardness will be greatly reduced, and even soft, which is something that Levi proved when he conducted an alchemical experiment of cold and heat.
When an object heats up to a point quickly, and then cools it down to below zero by other means, the strength of the object generally decreases dramatically, and Levi uses this to deal with large centipedes.
Levi didn't know how high Leif's explosive fire technique could heat up the carapace of the giant centipede, or how much the ice arrow could lower the temperature, but it was the only way out for them now.
And in addition to the rapid alternation of hot and cold to reduce the strength of the centipede's carapace, Levi also prepared a backhand, even if the ice arrow could not break the centipede's carapace, he still had a way to deal with it.
In Leif's astonished gaze, Levi pulled off the alchemy grenade ring in his mouth with a hook of his left hand, aimed at the carapace of the big centipede, which had been frozen with a layer of ice mist, and threw it over.
Of course, Leif also witnessed the scene when Levi blew up the big centipede, but he didn't see the moment when Levi threw the alchemy grenade, and because Levi forgot to ask him when he interrupted, he didn't understand what the use of Levi throwing this thing out.
But he didn't have to wait long, and Leif soon learned what the metal ball was for.
Bang!
The alchemy grenade exploded again, this time the explosion hit the frozen body of the big centipede, and the strong impact force acted on the body of the big centipede, but this time, the carapace of the big centipede couldn't resist it, and with a click, the carapace shattered, and a large amount of juice burst everywhere with the weakened carapace.
"What?!" Leif's eyes were about to pop out, he had seen the explosion Levi make, but it shouldn't be that powerful.
The yellow sap spewing out of the wound of the big centipede hit the ice wall, and the big centipede, which was injured by the blasting of the alchemy grenade, struggled to get up, but there were two soft "ding" sounds from Levi's side.
Two more alchemy grenades flew to its side in a parabola, and the big centipede, which had already developed instinctive fear, immediately rolled up its body, but the speed of the grenade explosion was too fast, and the big centipede's body was too big, and when it was halfway through, the alchemy grenade exploded.
Let's go it.
The disgusting juice squirted into the air, and the large centipede, which had lost its carapace as a means of defense, could not stop the power of the grenade, and the shockwave tore through its body without hindrance.
"It should be dead," Levi asked worriedly, looking at the big centipede lying on the ground and dying.
Up to this point, Leif hadn't reacted to the fact that the big centipede had died, and he couldn't understand it at all, and the funny thing was that he thought Levi was a fool, but now it seemed that the fool was himself.
"Good job" Levi, who was also covered in cold sweat for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, walked up to the stunned Leif and patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
“... You saved me, and now I'm just a clown."
I don't understand why Leif suddenly became depressed, but that didn't stop Levi from continuing, "It's the two of us working together, and without your explosive fire and ice arrows, my grenade can't kill this big guy."
"Noshi is still waiting for us, are you sure you want to waste time here?"
"It's not that I won't leave, it's that my back hurts, let me bandage it later," Leif's face turned from white to red.
"Come, give me your hand" Levi, who was still secretly anxious about Noshi's safety, put Lef's hand on his shoulder, and the two walked together towards the cave passage where Noshi had been swept away.
After a moment of silence, Leif looked away with a complicated gaze, "I'm sorry, I said you were a waste at first."
“... It's not a big deal, I really can't be a knight, and I can't do magic, so it's up to you to fight!"
Levi's optimistic attitude made Leif even more guilty: "If you can use me in the future, just speak... But Noshi, I'm not going to give it to you."
"I don't... Okay, let's see who Noshi chooses in the end," Levi's words paused unnaturally, but a depressed Leif didn't notice.
