Chapter 549: No Answer
The slightly dramatic battle was supposed to end in Schultz's death, but the Viller, who had struggled his way out of the monster pile, interrupted the attack with a hasty blow to the mad magician. The reaction of the other party was also unexpected by the people of Ville, and when the greatsword slammed into the staff, the magician immediately swung the staff and bounced the Maffe Orian with his weapon several meters away with incredible force.
There's no doubt about that guy's strength. Maffeo glanced at the broken sword stuck in the crack in the stone, considering the current situation, Maffeo did not have the heart to mourn for the long sword. The mad magician quickly changed her target, and now she has targeted the sudden appearance of the Viller. She didn't care that the other party screwed up one of her victories, instead, the crazy smile on her face deepened.
Maffeo had a question in his mind, that is, whether the other party was a magician, judging from a simple encounter, it seemed that the other party was simply using a staff to perform melee attacks, and he had never seen a magician who was good at melee combat. Even in melee combat, it is only a weapon that uses the power of magic to fight like Uma, not a weapon that actually exists. But the second wave of attacks from the other side once again confirmed that she was indeed a mage who excelled in close combat.
The mad mage flicked the weapon in his hand quickly, and the staff hissed in midair. Maffeo took a slight step back, then held his greatsword in both hands and leaned at his side. When he calculated the arc of the opponent's staff, he immediately swung his greatsword and drew a blood cross to seal the staff's attack range. Then he threw himself down in a whirlwind, spinning his body and slashing his greatsword towards the magician. His purpose is already clear, he wants to kill the other party in the shortest possible time.
However, the magician didn't care about the ferocious blow, and before she could withdraw her weapon, a magical shield spread around her body. Maffeo's blow was powerful, but the greatsword slashed across a magical shield like a silver-coated sword to chop through hard stone. There was no time left for him to think about it, and the magician took the opportunity to stab the end of his staff at Maffeo's chest. In this case, it is clear that Maffeo is no longer able to defend himself. But in the last moment before being hit, he raised his ghost hand and unleashed a near-zero blast of blood qi at the magician.
Both were knocked away by each other's attacks almost simultaneously, but it was the magician who stood up first. Maffeo, who was still trying to get up from the ground, thought that this guy was a monster, and the internal organs of the guy who was hit by the blood and qi impact at zero distance had already been shattered, but the magician was still unharmed. On the other hand, the moment he was hit in the chest by the staff, he felt that some kind of force seemed to be slowly eroding his body. If he was not mistaken, it should be the effect of the magic attached to the staff. If it weren't for Kazan, Maffeo would have ended up like Scholz.
Magicians are needed to deal with such a creature, so Uma and Mirna, who arrive here, tell Maffeo not to bother her too much. Judging by the expressions on the faces of the two, Maffeo thinks they are not confident that they can defeat this opponent either. No, not to be precise, it's not that they don't have faith, but that the word faith never appeared in their hearts from the beginning. This surprised Maffeo, could a fight really be as suspenseless as they thought?
"Maffeo, take Frederick out of here, he needs treatment. Uma pulled out a bottle of alchemy potion from her magic pocket and tossed it to Maffeo. "There's a good chance he's been attacked by magic, and this healing potion will temporarily slow down the erosion of his body. Milna and I will get rid of this guy as soon as possible, go!"
"Damn it......" Maffeo cursed, tucked his greatsword into the scabbard behind his back, and ran to where Scholz was.
Only a small fraction of the foam spiders remained, but Maffeo figured he couldn't be careless. He held the unconscious Schultz in his arms, trying to find a peaceful place where there was no fighting. Not far away, in a small recess behind an ice wall, Freya suddenly appeared from there and beckoned to Maffeo. At last he saw hope, so he quickened his pace and walked that way.
Uma and Mirna are not chivalrous people, and the other is clearly a "threat". They knew in their hearts how much damage a mentally abnormal magician could cause, not to mention that this magician was likely to come from the Demon Realm. Suffice it to say that in their hearts, this magician is no less threatening than a monster named Riku.
The mad mage quickly locked on to her new target, swinging her staff and charging at Umma, her steps steady and smooth. But she didn't expect Uma to teleport behind her effortlessly, sending her into the air, and by the time she was ready to turn to defend, it was too late. Just as she was making a move, Uma's condensed ice-breaking blades rained down. One by one, the Ice Blades sliced through the mage's clothes, skin, and flesh, and in just a few seconds, the Ice Breaking Flying Blade left more than a dozen wounds on the mage's body.
But this was only the beginning, and Mirna, who didn't move from the start, finally made a move. She crossed her hands, closed her eyes, and chanted a complex incantation. Immediately after, a golden magic circle lit up at the feet of the mad magician. The first lightning bolt quickly slashed down and hit the magician's body straight away. The paralyzing effect of the light elemental magic had an effect, and the immobile magician ate two more lightning strikes in a row, and the damage to her was obvious.
On the other side, Uma took advantage of the situation to pounce, and in the process of sprinting, he used ice magic to condense a spear, and stabbed the tip of the spear at the mage's abdomen. The spear moved forward with Uma's movements, so after the tip of the spear pierced the mage's body, as Uma sprinted, the mage's body also retreated unnaturally under the force of the spear, until her body completely slammed into the ice wall that Schultz had hit before.
It was already surprising that the mad magician was able to fight back in such a situation, but unfortunately, that counterattack was almost like a beginner's attack compared to her previous stormy attacks, neither accurate nor lethal. Uma dodged the blow with ease, then teleported sideways away, leaving the finishing touches to Mirna.
Mirna chanted a complex spell again, and because she didn't have a wand, the spell that could have been cast quickly now took more time than it had been. Although the power of the magic had been diminished by the fact that he did not carry a wand, it did not prevent the blow from resting the mad magician. Then Mr. Jack, whose body was burning with flames, roared and pounced on the magician, and her figure was soon drowned in a violent explosion. The shockwave from Jack's arrival swept through most of the area, rockfall and ice crumbling in the sky.
The others cursed incessantly, apparently unaware of what was happening. Mirna's magic was enough to cause a cave to collapse, but that didn't happen, which seemed to prove that the cave that appeared out of thin air could not be seen as normal.
By the time the smoke had cleared, the mad magician had vanished, and Uma was almost certain that she had been consumed by the flames of Jack's arrival. Her staff lay silently in place, but it had become two. In Mirna and Uma's vision, Schultzka's broken sword in the cracks in the stone and the mad magician's severed staff almost make up a painting.
This is always the case, and when the enemy is destroyed, they will find that it has become impossible to find answers. Why is she here? Is she from the Demon Realm? What is it that causes her to be mentally abnormal? Mirna and Uma thought that these questions would never be answered.
