Chapter 2: The First Actual Battle
In the dim woods, several figures lurked in the shadow of the trunk or the canopy of the tree, silently watching the sheep intestine path not far away.
Their breath seemed to merge with the light breeze of the breeze, and even if they were close to them, they could only hear the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, no doubt a technique to conceal their existence, and with the dangerous short blades almost all over their bodies, it was enough for experienced people to guess their identity.
This is a squad of wanderers, who, like scouts in the army and thieves in the city, are apprentice-level classes for agile melee formal professionals such as assassins, rangers, and hunters, similar to the advanced relationship between a magic apprentice and a formal mage.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to explain the basic combat professional level, the apprentice level is the pre-basic level that all professions have, and it cannot be regarded as a real professional, even if it is a high-status mage profession, it can only be regarded as a formal professional when the strength and professional quality of the profession to which it belongs reaches a certain level, and the formal professional continues to break through until it is beyond the mundane and has a power that is difficult for ordinary professionals to fight, even if it enters the transcendent realm, every transcendent strong person is a large-scale deterrent existence, extremely precious, and has a lofty status; , that is an existence that most people cannot reach, and there may not be a few in one plane, so I will not repeat it here.
In the eyes of most people, in addition to the forest wanderers of the elven race, the human wanderers in the wild are almost equal to the robber green forest, really compared, I am afraid that the reputation of the thieves in the city is better than theirs, the purpose of these wanderers here is self-evident, it seems that they have been ambushed here for a long time, presumably there should have been a clear goal.
There is a carriage coming, there is only one, it is not our target, is it intercepted?
A team member in charge of the lookout uses their own unique gestures to quickly communicate what they see to other team members and ask for instructions.
The captain in charge of this operation poked his head out and quietly glanced at the improvised carriage that was coming, and the thought of thinking quickly flashed in his heart, and then shook his head to the team members: The situation is special, don't make trouble, let them go.
Although they are robbers, and it is natural to rob the passers-by and merchants, but this time they have a mission, and they have received reliable information to ambush a small smuggling caravan that takes the path to try to avoid people's eyes······
At the moment when he saw the big black horse pulling the cart and considered whether to make a move, the captain's heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of fear that froze through his soul, and this strange illusion made his nerves a little tense, and finally he decided to ignore this seemingly ordinary carriage with a child.
However, just as the carriage approached their ambush site, the men in the carriage glanced up at the place where they had sneaked away, and it was at this glance that they fell completely.
What kind of eyes were they, incomparably chaotic and dark yet emitting a purple light and black light that devoured everything, which had occupied all their vision in an instant, firmly occupied their minds, and almost robbed them of all their consciousness!
After staring at them for a moment, they suddenly discovered in horror that their hands and feet had moved without obeying the call······
Looking at the professionals in front of him who suddenly came out of the woods and stopped in front of the road, Lades's face darkened, these guys were basically wearing light leather armor and holding poisoned daggers, which seemed to be robbing, but the strange thing was that the expressions on each of their faces were obviously not normal, as if Laxiang couldn't pull out halfway and suddenly found that the toilet had no paper, which made Latisi couldn't help but roll his eyes and stare at his father:
"Hey~, old - dad - ~~~"
The elongated tail note and the expression of his drooping eyelids are self-evident: it's you, you must have made it······
The big dark horse pulling the cart also snorted, expressing its unhappiness and mockery.
Ratis clearly knows that this horse looks like a horse itself, but the heterotopic summoned creature with the actual scientific name of Nightmare Beast is born with innate fear-type biological coercion, even if it is now blessed with camouflage magic and the power is not visible, but as long as someone has a trace of malice towards them, they will inevitably be affected by the deterrence of coercion, not to mention the group of apprentices in front of them, even if they are formal professionals, they will never have the idea of doing it, and now they dare to appear in front of them, it is estimated that there is only one reason······
As the culprit, Albert did not feel guilty at all about being discovered for no reason, but showed an unscrupulous smile that made Radice grit his teeth with hatred, and explained with a gesture that he didn't care about himself: "This is a good opportunity, take advantage of it." ”
You can really create a chance for me! A superlative powerhouse actually made a move on a group of apprentices, please can you be a little conscious of being a strong man?!
"Don't waste time, hurry back, you have two minutes to solve it, and remember not to dirty the carriage, if you can't do it, don't eat in the evening. ”
"Didn't I make all the dinner? If I don't have anything to eat, don't expect to have a good meal." ”
Hearing Albert's urging, Latis complained casually, and then without seeing him make any movements, the invisible big hand of nothingness was already supported on the seat in the front seat of the carriage, and the next moment, the young body had risen out of thin air with the help of this support, and shot at the gangsters who blocked the way like an arrow from the string.
"It's coming! What kind of monster did we encounter?!"
The hapless bandits' faces changed drastically, but their bodies were already involuntarily catching up, their steps steady and fast, faintly forming a circle with other teammates, and the daggers they held in both hands slashed a dim and dangerous light, stabbing at the children who burst into the explosion from a tricky angle—what made them cry without tears and even collapsed their worldview, their out-of-control bodies showed far more fighting qualities than they could normally achieve······
Entering the battle state, Latis's face was expressionless, and at the same time as he flew out, another pair of huge mage hands had already been built, cross-supported in front of him, with the flight speed of arrows, the huge force area of the strengthened mage hand, and the strength comparable to the old cowhide, completely ignoring the blades stabbing from all directions, smashing into the crowd like a cannonball, and crashing into the two wanderers who couldn't dodge.
In the dust, the crossed mage's hands suddenly opened, and a dense translucent color force field missile was swung around his body, forming a whistling rain of bullets that enveloped everyone present, and they who had nowhere to dodge flew out fiercely, at the same time, Latis's eyes quickly caught the silhouette flying in the smoke screen, and the index fingers of both hands stretched out the connecting dots, shooting out hybrid elemental missiles at an extremely fast speed.
The colored missiles fired by his own hands were squeezed into oval cones by air pressure due to their speed, and they caught up with the bodies of the wanderers who were bounced off by the effects of the force field missiles with lightning precision, and before they could land, they crashed into the air with a series of deafening roars.
When the dust fell, Laceis supported the ground with the hand of a mage, as if suspended in the middle of the road, and the traces of explosions were everywhere, combined with his young body, the scene looked inexplicably strange.
The Elemental Missile, which is composed of mixed elements, explodes with great power, and is the most powerful of all the variant missiles he has mastered, and when it hits head-on in a state of surprise, these are just crispy apprentices in ordinary leather armor who should have lost their combat ability.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, I'm afraid that only a few seconds have passed, and the effect obtained from more than two years of spell training is terrifying!
Latis himself was also a little surprised by his devastating combat power, you know, he was facing more than ten times the opponent of the same level, even if the destructive power of the legal profession far exceeded that of the same level, and the power of low-level magic was enough to crush the apprentice field without sufficient protective ability, but such a neat and neat solution to the opponent could indeed be regarded as a combat power beyond common sense.
The outstanding strength of mental power and the total amount of magic power are indeed his advantages, but after this battle, he has clearly realized that the speed of interpretation far beyond the normal apprentice mage and the accurate spell control power that is perverted are the key factors that cause this crushing situation, and this is the ability that two years of hell special training have brought to him, so it seems that what his father said does have some truth.
"How's it going? Now you know how my training has benefited you?"
Seeing his son's pensive expression from a distance, Albert asked leisurely.
Although Lades had begun to agree with it in his heart, he still shouted unconvincedly: "What's this, it's just that the enemy is too weak, that's right, the enemy is too weak!"
Albert smiled noncommittally at the corners of his mouth, "Oh?
As soon as the words fell, several swift black shadows sprang out of the woods again, drawing a zigzag trajectory at a speed that was almost difficult to catch by the eye, moving in this strange posture beyond the limits of the human body, stretching out its dangerous fangs like deadly poisonous snakes and devouring Radis.
Ratis frowned, knowing that it was his father's ghost again, he hurriedly swung a large force field missile with both hands to try to force them away, but the same method did not work, they moved at high speed and turned back and rushed irregularly more flexibly than the attacking vipers, and it was difficult to capture their bodies without forming a large enough scale of missiles in a hurry, and the barrage shot out of the barrage all missed- This is a dodge speed that is difficult to hit even with spell guidance, and it is not something that a normal apprentice can do at all, as evidenced by the sound of broken joints coming from their bodies.
That's too much, Daddy! Why don't you put another layer of BUff on each of them!
Latis couldn't help but complain in his heart, the highest strength mage hand has built the third pair of the limit, one pair supports the earth to bring action, and the other two pairs serve as shields and flexible weapons, even with a block to face these wanderers who are more dangerous than just now.
The speed of the hand, which is almost weightless, is very fast, and after the harsh special training, Latis is also extremely flexible, but after all, he is only a legal profession, melee combat is a weakness, and there is almost no discipline in short-distance precision combat, just relying on the characteristics and advantages of strengthening the mage's hand to form combat effectiveness, and in the face of tricky assassinations from all directions, it is really a little overwhelming.
If it weren't for his petite stature, the large mage's hand would have enveloped most of his body in a single hug, and he would have been injured long ago - the attacks of these puppets were so terrifying that they would not hesitate to break their elbows and arms to stab daggers in order to seize the fleeting gap.
What's even more terrifying is that under Albert's covert control, they even used an attack technique that only formal professionals can master - in the face of high-frequency vibration dagger stabs, even the hand of a mage with the incredible strength of Radis can't stop it for long, as for whether the user's arm will be scrapped······ Sorry, this was not at all under Albert's consideration.
However, in the blink of an eye, Radis fell into a disadvantage, even the occasional missile could not threaten these puppets who were even able to use daggers to flick spell energy, and the situation became very bad, but Radis's expression at the moment was still fearless.
"Cut~, force me to use my hole cards?"
Silently reciting a sentence in his heart, Latis instantly exerted his strength, and the huge magic and spiritual power gushed out from the sea of knowledge without being processed by the spell model, acting on the body to form a violent thrust everywhere, and the mage hands supporting the body also twisted together like springs at the same time, taking his body to do Thomas whirl, and the remaining two pairs of mage hands firmly wrapped his body, forming an impermeable defensive wall.
In an instant, it turned into a high-speed spinning grumpy ball, spinning faster and faster, and bounced like a spring as it rotated, and even the air flow around the body began to be affected, undulating like a storm.
The high-speed rotating surface was powerless, and the shocking stabbing blow that was originally extremely threatening was completely powerless at the moment, and the blades and nearby bodies were ruthlessly bounced away, and no one could stand around after the huge transparent sphere went on a savage rampage.
Not only that, the sphere that suddenly stopped exploded in an instant, forming a diffuse violent air flow mixed with magic power, and the puppets who tried to rush up again were all restrained by the violent air pressure, and they were suppressed by the air flow and kept retreating, in such a situation like a target, Latis Shi Ran stretched out his hands, spilled a barrage, and ended the battle in the dense explosion - as for why not choose a single attack to kill one by one·······
Ratis: Sorry, I turned too fast, a little dizzy······
"How's it going?"
"Barely qualified, if you used a spiral spike and explosion effect missile at the beginning, they would have died a long time ago, and they wouldn't have had the trouble later. ”
"Oh~ come on! They're bad enough, I don't want to kill for such a ridiculous reason, and······ Even if you turn into corpses, you can still control them!"
"Don't worry about these details, you still have to be ruthless when it comes to life and death, but you're still young, you can take your time······ Anyway, can you be convinced now? Without my special training, can you use spells like this?"
"You have a point, but I'll keep my mind to myself, if I know more spells, I'll definitely do better than I just did. ”
"I'm not saying that you won't learn other spells, but I just want you to know that in a practical sense, it's far more important to use spells flexibly than to learn more spells. ”
"That's not what you just said. ”
"There are some things you should understand without me saying them, and you're not stupid. ”
"Okay, I'll just be praising me, and then again, I should be able to start learning new spells at my level, right?"
"You can learn what you want, as long as you are prepared to go through special training every time you learn a new spell. ”
"I ······ Is it necessary to be so strict? Is it true that all the other mages have come here like this?"
"Don't compare yourself to others, you yourself stand at a much higher starting point than others, so why don't you go for perfection?Radis, I remember you said you wanted to meet your mother, right? If you want to do this, you have to make sure that you will always be better than others, because you must understand that only the best and most potential top people are qualified to join the Holy Mountain. ”
"Well, you convinced me, anyway, I must go to the Holy Mountain to meet my mother. ”
I'm going to sue her in person, and tell him how you've been abusing me all these years.
"It always feels like you're thinking something bad. ”
"You're thinking too much. ”
················
Leaving behind the stumps and leaves and the fainting robbers, the carriage continued leisurely, and the gentle breeze blew away the chatter and arguments of father and son, and gradually drifted away······
