One step away

Xi Xiangyu could sense that the other party was planning to cast a spell with a huge amount of lethality, but he didn't care about it.

Information, resources, combat power, manpower, technology, and other factors can all determine the outcome of a battle, but in the end, there are only two points left: the way to move and the way to consume action.

Whether it's slashing and stabbing with a sword, casting a disarming counterspell, or operating a machine to command a soldier, generally nothing can be done in an instant, and two things cannot be done at the same time.

Of course, the side that can do more in a unit of time has the advantage. It stands to reason that the higher quality of the behavior done per unit of time is more advantageous.

For example, detonating a time bomb at a distance is much superior and clever to protruding from a long distance.

Based on this point of view, we are happy to meet......

"Dismantle the magic, use it on him at any cost, and I'll pay for it. 」

...... is completely shameless and chooses to throw money and group fights.

While the kobold warlocks are constantly casting "disarming magic" and "advanced disarming magic" one after another, raising their hands when they meet is a cannonball. This rare and valuable high-level mage among the dwarves was sent to the kingdom of Moradin in humiliation without even casting a spell.

Unexpectedly, when the dwarven mage died, all the earth elemental creatures disappeared, and the water elemental also fell into complete chaos, and soon the group drove away the water elemental and began to rest again.

"The fact that the dwarves have sent so many troops to stop us this time means that we don't have much time to rest, so let's set off now. 」

When the camp was reorganized, Joy Encounter retrieved the Golem from the kobolds' hands and immediately prepared to go.

The dwarves are more equipped than the group, and the progress of clearing the wasteland is naturally faster. But they still continue to harass Xi Xiangyu and his party, which shows that the seal of the demigod is not so easy to break. And today, the attack of the dwarves is almost bloody, so the unsealing of the demigod must be the most critical step. The dwarves would never allow them to get any closer to the core, which is why the dwarves wanted to kill each other tonight, regardless of the cost.

Without a happy encounter, the progress of this group will plummet.

"Then don't take these guys with you, I and the druids will keep chasing after you, anyway, your flying carpet can fly 24 hours a day. ”

"I'm going to meet a lot of dwarves there, right? I don't think we'll have to fight the dwarves to the death, just get the demigods and leave. ”

"Half-elf, you're naïve. The dwarves are very tenacious one by one, and if they don't kill them directly, they will come back even if they are defeated many times. ”

What the Sumesmart say is true, the dwarves are one such race that is more stubborn than tenacious. Eren couldn't refute it, so she looked at the happy encounter.

"Their king is probably at the heart of this half-plane, too. So when we get there, the other dwarves don't care about kidnapping their kings, it's much easier than killing them all. 」

The compromise was quickly accepted by the other two, and it was worth trying no matter which of the dwarves felt that the demigod or the king was important.

After pointing out the next direction of Sumesmart's men, the three of them flew to the core on the flying carpet without stopping, and finally arrived at the location of the demigod a day later.

The closer you get to the core, the colder it gets, and when you get here, the temperature drops by about a dozen degrees, and once you lose the protection of the spell, you will soon die of frostbite. With the unsealing of the demi-artifact, the temperature continued to drop.

When the three of them arrived, they saw the translucent gems floating in the air with a pale blue glow and a bone-chilling chill, as well as a large number of fire-blooded dwarves and green ice golems, as well as the dwarves' vehicles, magical machines that were very similar to Earth's cars.

"This group of thieves has arrived here at this time! O elite of the kingdom, stop them!"

Standing next to the gem was an armored dwarf and a robed dwarf, both of whom were about the same length (stocky beard and short stature), and they were not very good at distinguishing between them. But judging by their clothing, the armored dwarf must be the most noble one here.

The robed-wearing dwarves were casting spells to break the barrier, while the armor-piercing dwarves waited on the sidelines, and the dwarves' elite warriors and golems rushed towards the trio.

Sumesmart reverted back to dragon form and flew towards the army, hovering in the air and spewing orange flames, occasionally landing and slicing golems with its claws.

Golems and fleshy classes aside, the Fireblood Dwarves are clearly trained in how to fight dragon enemies, a tradition that this dwarven subspecies has never abandoned since its inception.

Each of the dwarves' elite is dressed in full-body or half-body armor, enchanted with resistance to fire, and with the race's own ondol, they can even fight the Sumermat against the flames.

To fight a dragon, you should first use their ability to fly and pull them to the ground, or use magic to fly into the sky to fight them.

The dwarves in agreement each gave orders to the golem they were responsible for, ordering the golem to pierce the wings of the red dragon.

However, they found that the Golem was being destroyed at a breakneck pace, and that someone sitting on the flying carpet in the distance was sniping at the Golem again.

It didn't take long for only a few golems remained, but in the end, the number of golems prevailed, and Sumesmart's wings were pierced by cannonballs and had to fall to the ground to fight the dwarves in close combat.

"Alan, the flying carpet is for you, go help the red dragon. 」

"I'll find a way to make the dwarves incapacitated, do what you want, please. ”

After taking out all the golems, Joy handed over control of the Flying Carpet to Ellen, and then jumped off the Flying Carpet far from the battlefield and began to approach the two dwarves at the core from the side.

"(Mages have infinite possibilities as teammates, but they must die as enemies.) ）」

The inexplicable sense of urgency made Xi Xiangyu very anxious to solve the mage, or at least to interrupt his spell casting. After raising his hand to fire the electromagnetic cannon, he met with joy, only to find that the cannonball had stopped on the way as if it had hit a transparent wall, and the dwarven mage was still calmly casting spells.

"It's a nuisance, it's a force field wall. 」

After determining the location of the wall, he quickly approached and bypassed it, but when he began to shell again, he found that the shells had once again stalled in close proximity. It seems that the dwarven mage has set up some spells that will be triggered if the conditions are met, which gives Xi Xiangyu the illusion of being targeted.

He approached and bypassed the second force field wall again, and after a pause, this time instead of shelling at the mage, he aimed at the translucent gem floating in the air.

Wall Of Force

Plastic Energy System [Force Field]

Level: Warlock/Mage 5

Spell Ingredients: Words, Posture, Materials

Cast Time: 1 standard action

Distance: Close (25 ft + 5 ft/2 class)

Effect: A wall with an area of 10 feet square per level

Duration: 1 round/level (can be dissolved)

Wall of Force creates invisible walls of force. The wall is immobile, does not take any form of damage, and is not affected by most spells, including Dispel Magic. However, Disintegrate will destroy it instantly, as can Rod Of Cancellation, Sphere Of Annihilation, or Mage'S Disjunction. Spit attacks and spells cannot pass through walls of force in any direction. However, spells such as Dimension Door and Teleport can pass through obstacles. Both spectral and solid mobs are blocked (but spectral creatures can bypass the wall by passing through the floor or ceiling from above or below). Gaze attacks can pass through walls of force.

The caster can create a flat vertical wall of force up to 10 feet square per level. The resulting force wall must be continuous and uninterrupted. If its surface is blocked by any item or creature, the spell fails.

The Wall of Force can be permanently effected through Permanency.

Cast Material: A small amount of pure gem powder.
