Chapter 52: The Sun, the Silver Moon, and the Morning Star (2)
A terrible wail resounded through the Black Forest, startling countless birds.
When Hedson arrived at the site of the battle, he saw dozens of silver dragon warriors turned into crystal sculptures, and Nero kneeling in a pool of blood with a broken wrist clutched.
Constantine had disappeared without a trace.
Edson's pupils shrank, and in just a few minutes, Nero was seriously injured, and all the Silver Dragon Warriors of the Vismal family were killed, a fact that shocked the powerful mage.
"Quick... Chase ...... He hasn't gone far yet. Nero groaned a few times.
It wasn't just Hudson who received the message, and a few minutes later, Caulfield arrived with dozens of Silver Dragon Warriors to the location where the magical message was sent.
Noticing the shocking wound on Nero's arm, Caulfield's face was very ugly.
"Heal him. Caulfield looked around, then looked up coldly not far away, "Are you trying to provoke me? ”
The dragon knight pulls out the [Moon Scar].
A cold light instantly illuminated the woods, and the bright moonlight poured out with the wave of [Moon Scars].
The cold silver light broke through the cascading canopy and headed straight into the distance.
In the distance, Constantine, who was running in the mountains and forests, paused suddenly, and activated the refractive body method, leaving only an afterimage in the same place, and his body appeared ten meters away, his face was a little pale.
The magical light emitted by the moon mark slashed through the place where he had stood, leaving an extremely deep ravine, all the way forward, and wherever the half-moon-shaped sword light went, the mountains, rocks, grass and trees were divided in two.
This is a warning.
Dodging the sword, Constantine did not relax, he knew very well that this was only the beginning, and the real danger was still to come.
At the same time, when the huge silver moon blade pierced the sky, the elite of the Ice Knights stationed in the interior of the Central Mountain Range also received a message from Caulfield and began to move rapidly in the direction of Constantine.
The Ice Knights clenched their blades tightly, their faces grim, their spears and swords stained with the blood of the rebels a few days ago had been spotlessly cleaned, waiting for the next round of killing, and the aura of slaughter overshadowed the chill of winter for a while.
This long-planned storm has already begun to be staged.
Immediately after Caulfield's moon blade, several powerful magical auras rose from around Constantine, and Constantine recognized two of them as Mark and Edson, whom they had fought a few days earlier.
There is also a magical aura that belongs to a strong man that Constantine does not know, and that magical aura is pure and majestic, not only is it not inferior to the first two in terms of strength, but it also has a bit more unique and heavy power.
It's Long Wei.
That mage was a dragon sorcerer.
In order to kill himself, Caulfield not only took action himself, but also brought such a powerful dragon vein warlock.
"It's really willing to pay for it. Constantine thought, involuntarily clenching the hilt of his sword, knowing that the hardest battle was coming.
The three crown-level archmages are undoubtedly the most difficult enemies for Constantine at the moment, and perhaps the most formidable opponents in his life.
But, so what?
Constantine counted on the trunk of the tree in front of him on his toes, and his whole body jumped high, and in the blink of an eye he had climbed the towering tree, passed through the dense canopy, stepped on a branch, and stood firmly on the tree.
Face off against three great magicians floating above the Black Forest.
Rudis looked at the young man standing in the canopy a hundred meters away with interest, exposing his position so easily, was it a desperate fight in desperation, or was it arrogance?
Or was he confident enough to stand up to the spells of the three Crown Mages?
In other words, he is an ordinary powerhouse in the Holy Domain, but he is afraid that he does not have this kind of self-confidence, and Constantine is not even a Holy Land now, why?
Rudis was curious to know the answer.
"You have no way back, survivor of House Elliott. Mark said coldly, "You must pay a heavy price for the actions you have just done to your Excellency Nero. ”
"The Ice Knights have appeared in my kingdom and killed my warriors and people with impunity, may I ask what price should the dynasty pay for this?" Constantine said lightly.
Rudis smiled and said, "So, Your Highness Constantine, what do you think?"
"Nothing else, I'll take the lives of the three first, remember, this is just the beginning. Constantine's fingertips glowed with purple arcane light, and countless missiles shot towards Hedson and the others.
Arcane barrage
Hundreds of purple rays of light descended like meteor showers in an instant, and the speed and number were jaw-dropping.
Ordinary high-level mages faced with such a sharp and swift instantaneous barrage, I'm afraid their first thought is to avoid its edge, after all, no low-level defensive spell can effectively resist hundreds of magic missiles.
Unlike the holders of high-level bloodlines or Sanctuary warriors, no matter how powerful a mage's body is, it is no different from ordinary people, and it is absolutely unbearable to be hit by dozens of light bullets.
However, in the face of Constantine's most proud instantaneous spell, the three mages did not panic, they were all crown-level spellcasters, and this level of spell was not enough to pose a threat to them.
With a wave of his hand, Mark exited a few short syllables, and the invisible defensive force field opened, blocking all the arcane light bullets that attacked him with an extremely superb [Void Barrier].
The wooden-faced and indifferent Edsen adopted the method of attacking instead of defending, and the huge magic power converged, forming a small cloud of pale cyan demonic flames, which rushed towards Constantine.
The flames continued to consume the energy of the arcane missile as it traveled, expanding in size and eventually transforming into a towering wall of floating fire.
This is an extremely heretical magical ---, and the terrifying nature of being able to devour and absorb spell energy alone can be seen as why it is considered heretical.
This spell is hugely powerful, but it requires the caster to pay a very high amount of mental power, and too many times of use will even deplete the mage's own vitality and soul, resulting in no hope of advancing in life, but the mages who study this spell are all crazy themselves, so they naturally don't care what the price is.
The light bullets hit the spell wall and dissipated one by one, and Mark, who was hiding behind the [Void Barrier], began to chant the incantation slowly, preparing to use a high-level magic and [Gluttonous Tinder] to completely end Constantine.
However, just as he was about to use his mental power to lock on to Constantine's location, he was surprised to find that the boy had disappeared at some point.
The wall of fire swept over the tree where the boy stood, and Constantine's body twisted like a reflection in the water, shattering in the flames.
Rudis was taken aback: "Mirror image, it's a multi-caster. ”
Normally, it is impossible to use the mirror magic to escape under the noses of the three archmages, and the only answer is that Constantine just cast not one, but two, which makes the three mages have no time to pay attention to the changes in the young man when dealing with the arcane barrage.
The seemingly gorgeous arcane barrage actually played a role like a smoke screen, in order to cover up the mirror magic prepared by Constantine.
Where did the ontology go?
All three mages had a bad premonition in their hearts.
Hudson's slightly wooden pupils narrowed a lot at the moment, as he sensed a trace of unreserved murder locking onto him.
He didn't have time to prepare the protective spell, because Constantine had already appeared in front of him.
The combination of [Flash] and [Refraction Method] allowed Constantine's speed and mobility to reach an unprecedented level, so fast that even the Crown Mage had no time to react.
That's the scary thing about melee mages.
The crystal sword pierced through the defensive spells solidified in Hedson's magic robes without hindrance, and the layers of shields burst like glowing bubbles in front of the dawn's crystal blade.
Being close to the mainland's top bounty hunters, the only choice for ordinary mages is to close their eyes and wait for death.
But Hudson didn't give up struggling.
Edson's lips parted, with his crown mage's mental power and spell-casting skills, he only needed one syllable to condense enough magical energy, even if he cast a lowest-level spell, he could find a chance to escape and fight back.
As a top spellcaster, even when he is in close proximity, the strength of a crown mage cannot be ignored.
But Constantine clearly did not intend to leave him the slightest leeway.
Haldson's Adam's apple rolled, but before he could utter a full syllable, the invisible [Mage's Hand] firmly stuck in his throat, stilling the incantation that had not yet been blurted out.
Hudson's eyes bulged out as he watched in vain and despair as the blade of the crystal longsword sank into his chest.
Shimmering with crystalline light, the crown mage of the Dragonlance Dynasty, known for his eerie magic, disintegrated into countless crystals of sand flying in the winds of the Central Mountain Range in less than a second......
Seeing this scene, Mark almost interrupted his magic chant, feeling incredible.
A living crown magician, just in front of him, was killed in seconds?
Killing Hedson with one blow is certainly an extremely amazing result, but there is also a little bit of luck in it, such as Hudson, who was completely unfamiliar with the characteristics of melee mages, gave Constantine a chance to succeed.
However, strictly speaking, this is actually not a fluke, after all, in the entire continent, except for Constantine, there is no second melee type magician, and it is naturally impossible for Halderson to know about it and prepare in advance.
And the choice of Haldson to start first was also the result of Constantine's careful consideration.
The lakeside confrontation a few days ago made Constantine have a good grasp of the shooting style and characteristics of these two magicians, and Hudson's offense is undoubtedly much stronger than Mark's, but his own lack of life-saving ability is the biggest flaw, once he is close, it means that Hudson's most powerful attack magic is useless.
Constantine ate Edson thoroughly, but Ledson didn't really know Constantine, so he made the final mistake, which is the advantage brought by information asymmetry.
Therefore, the success of this sniper was both expected and reasonable for Constantine, a mature bounty hunter never did anything that he was not sure of.
Rudis frowned, Constantine inflicted a heavy blow on Nero, and afterwards killed Hadson in front of himself and Mark, which was undoubtedly a huge provocation to the Dragon Lance Dynasty.
As a member of the Dragon Vein family, Rudis must step up and do something at this time.
The dragon sorcerer aimed his staff at Constantine, and a scarlet beam of energy pierced through the sky above the Black Forest, blasting straight towards Constantine.
The scorching wind blew Constantine's hair whirring, Constantine's body flickered, his toes tapped, and he used his best refractive method, like a big bird with a graceful posture, shuttling back and forth above the trees of the Black Forest, dazzling quickly.
This time, however, Constantine was stunned to find that no matter how tricky the angle he did, the red magic beam was clutching at him, following him like a long scarlet snake.
The magic that can automatically lock the enemy, Constantine is the first time he has encountered it.
He didn't know that this was one of Rudis's dragon vein abilities--- [Spiritual Tracking], within a certain range, as long as it was locked by Rudis's spiritual power, then the magic of the dragon vein warlock was bound to hit, no matter how fast the opponent's speed was, he couldn't escape.
In a sense, [Psychic Tracking] happens to be the nemesis of all bounty hunters who are good at physical speed, and it is precisely for this reason that the Dragonlance Dynasty sent Rudis to participate in the hunt for Constantine.
Haldson didn't know anything about Constantine, but Rudis, who was the elder of the Uther family, knew it.
To deal with this unpredictable teenager, you must first restrain his speed.
Rudis, who has the ability to lock enemies, is the best choice against Constantine.
Unable to dodge, Constantine had no choice but to resort to the last thing he wanted to dodge: a head-on hard block.
Constantine gathered his spirit, mobilized all his magic power, and condensed his most powerful defensive spell--- [Crystal Coffin].
The pale blue crystal wall appeared around Constantine, and the crystal wall that was infused with all of Constantine's spiritual power flowed with an incomparably bright blue light, as dazzling and charming as a real blue crystal.
The scarlet light came across the air, hitting the crystal wall fiercely, and with the flying energy fragments, a cloud of red light exploded.
In the face of the dragon warlock's spell attack, the crystal wall that Constantine summoned with all his might showed the same degree of fragility as the thin appearance, and it was torn apart like flashy glass.
Constantine snorted, and his body fell towards the forest sea below.
In the future, you must practice defense-related magic, and during the fall, Constantine suddenly had such a thought, it was too painful just now.
A feather fall technique was blessed on his body, and Constantine landed lightly on the ground like a feather, but his face was much paler, and there was a burning pain in his chest.
"I want to resist the magic of the Crown Mage now, but it's still too reluctant. Constantine smiled bitterly, although his actions just now seemed to be inadequate, but there was no other way in that situation.
The spell imprinted on his chest was not powerful, but it was very long-lasting, and the burning pain of being burned by the flames was so surging that even though Constantine's heart was as strong as iron, he couldn't help frowning at this moment.
"I'll have to find that guy from Roland to dispel this spell. ”
Just as Constantine was thinking this, a hot sensation rose from his neck and hair.
Gusts of hot wind swept over the entire Black Forest, and the dark red luster was as bright as blood, cascading down the leaves and trunks, and the temperature of the entire forest rose sharply, sweeping away the winter chill.
The burning heat in Constantine's chest was nothing compared to this sudden heat.
Constantine looked up and saw an extra fire-breathing sun in the sky, and half of the sky was lit up by a fiery red light.
High magic --- Corona.
