The battle was unusually difficult, and this strange battle that could only be defended and could not hurt the attackers made the ladies fight tied, and by the time Vivien woke up from meditation for the fourth time, the battle had already passed an hour. The situation on the field remained unchanged, Catherine and Lina were in a group, and the nine uninjured adult fire elementals were divided into two groups, a total of three groups of people rotated separately, with the top at the front, and the replaced ones rested in the back with the injured fire elementals.

The gunner Rachel continuously activated the spar gun within an hour and fired it, his face was already a little pale, and the hands holding the gun were also trembling involuntarily, and finally he even fainted directly to the ground due to excessive consumption. It was Pennis, who joined the battle for the first time, but only walked behind the people on the front line, and occasionally saw a baby fire element leaking over, so he kicked back into the lava lake very roughly.

Catherine and Lina were more or less wounded, and were now resting against the wall in the back, Catherine's iris shield was covered with scorched black marks, still exuding steaming heat, and her chain mail also had more than a dozen scorch marks, and even her long hair was burned off by the heat, and she was pouring water on the iris shield with a kettle to cool down. Lina was in a slightly better condition than Catherine, with only three broken skin armors, and it was clear that Catherine would always rush forward to protect her in times of danger. However, Lina had a large burn mark on her left hand, and she did not treat herself at all, just threw aside an empty bottle of spiritual recovery potion, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to recuperate, quietly waiting for the magic to slowly recover with the help of the potion.

Gritting her teeth, Vivien stood up again with her staff, ready to fight again, relieving the pressure on her comrades to control the juvenile element, but she had just taken a few steps forward when she was stopped by the retreating Pennis.

"Vivien. Under the repeated protests of the girls, Pannis finally reluctantly removed the word Miss or Lady from the title that made people feel obviously estranged: "Don't be in a hurry to help, Dilan, they just changed it, and they can support it for a while, you come over first, I have something to ask you." ”

Vivien gave Pennis a slightly strange look, but didn't say anything, nodded and followed Pannis to Catherine and Lina and sat down.

"Why did you come back?" Catherine's gaze lifted from the flis, and she looked happy despite the difficulty of the battle, "This is your first time in battle, Pannis, how does it feel to be on watch and help each other?"

"As I said, it's just an employer, not a partner. Without dwelling too much on this issue, Pannis asked Vivien, "How much magic do you have left?"

"More than sixty percent. Vivien felt it herself, and replied, "About sixty-five percent." ”

"You drank four bottles of meditation potions. Pannis calculated in his heart: "It is said that the muscles in your body should have been transformed by meditation now, and you should be so sore that you can't stand up, and your spirit should no longer be able to withstand the stimulation of meditation." ”

"It's okay, I have a special reason to ignore the fatigue of **. Vivien said nonchalantly: "And my spirit is stronger than that of ordinary mages, my limit is six bottles, but after drinking the sixth bottle, although I can still move, it is difficult to cast spells normally." ”

"And what are you going to do?" asked Pannis.

"Same as before. Catherine replied for Vivien: "She will drink the fifth bottle when her mana drops to 30 percent, rely on the 20 percent mana recovered by the meditation potion, plus 10 percent of the mental recovery potion within three minutes, to make her more than half of her mana again, and then use it up all at once." After using up, change to a sleeping potion, sleep for half an hour, and then recover 50%. ”

"What if the battle isn't over by then?" said Pennis.

"Then you can only rely on magic power to recover naturally, after all, the limit of taking spiritual recovery potions has also reached at that time. Catherine and Vivien looked at each other and smiled, as if remembering something interesting: "We've had two crises before that made her so desperate, and she dealt with it every time, but at the cost of staying in bed for seven days after that. ”

"Here, there are no beds and there is no seven-day safe time. ”

"Of course, I've thought about it. Catherine said, "If this happens, then I will carry Vivien on my back, let's exit the cave and recuperate, and then come back when Vivien is fully recovered." ”

"Back and forth, plus the rest time, this will delay about ten days, maybe you can't complete it within the deadline because of these ten days of delay, it's a high-paying task that is rare in several years. Pannis whispered, "Don't you regret losing a reward of 100,000 gold coins for a group of irrelevant people, who are not even human but elemental?"

"Haha. Lina suddenly opened her eyes: "Catherine won't regret it, and Vivien and I don't care about the reward for any tasks, so we don't have any regrets." ”

"yes, I don't regret it. Catherine replied with a smile, her voice full of firmness: "Judging by the duration of the spirit magic, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen, and even if it happens, even if the mission does fail because of this, I will not regret it." If I can't help the afflicted, what right do I have to use Lord Nelly's name, and what right do I have to call myself a knight?"

"Whew. Pannis sighed deeply, his face changed, and he was silent for a while before he made up his mind: "Vivien, I saw you portray the Vigilance Circle last night, you should also have some research on the magic array." ”

"Of course. Vivien replied without modesty: "Expert circle engraver." ”

"What about the Magic Floatship, are you familiar with the Crystal Energy Floating Circle on the Floatship?"

"Hmm, it's familiar, what's the problem?" Vivien didn't understand Pennis's intentions at all: "There are two sets of magic circles, one is to convert the crystal energy that remains escaping every moment after the hedron is activated into mana, and the other is to use the transformed mana to maintain the levitation technique. I see, you mean to use the transformation circle to replenish your own mana? How is this possible? Do you want to engrave the circle on your body?"

"Of course there is no need to self-harm. Since Pannis decided to help Vivien, he told without reservation: "You are an expert, you should know that the portrayal of the circle is actually just a mold, and it is useless to lithography it, and the real circle is condensed into silk threads with magic power and depicted little by little along the carved circle." ”

"Well, so it's possible to draw it out of thin air directly on the surface of the body with magic threads. Vivien couldn't hear any other voices at all, and a whole new world opened in front of her: "But the skin is not a good carrier of the magic array, and it can't suppress the dissipation of the magic thread, so every time it is absorbed, it needs to be re-depicted, well, the magic circle also needs to be retransformed, I want to think about it, I want to think about it......"

"Hey, if you succeed, be careful when absorbing it, the magic power transformed by the magic circle is too violent, it will impact your magic channel, and even the magic core in your spirit, okay, I know you can't hear it. Pannis shrugged helplessly and got back to his feet.

"Thank you. Catherine looked at Pannis's eyes seriously and said word by word, "Thank you for teaching Vivien this secret knowledge. ”

"Many people know what secret knowledge, and I also heard from my friends. Pannis looked at the cave dome and replied, "Who knows if it can be used, and it would be nice to let her be an experiment." ”

"Poof. In Lina's chuckle, Catherine also pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you anyway, we are still reliable partners." ”

"Hey, Pannis, are you here to help or to chat. Dilan's shout interrupted Pannis's embarrassment, and for the first time, Pannis felt that Dilan's voice was so cute: "If you don't change hands, you just wait to help me clean up the elemental core." ”

"Lina, let's go. Catherine was in good spirits and called Lina to rush to the front line, replacing Dilan and the other three fire elementals whose colors had become a little dull, although they temporarily lost Vivien's help, but after resting, the two girls played at a super level, and the violent juvenile elements retreated again and again.

"Magic, soothe the mind. Swinging a hammer to smash a juvenile elemental, Lina still maintained a dignified temperament in the fierce battle, and gently touched the other fire elemental with the tip of the mace, and as she chanted loudly, a white light washed this juvenile elemental from top to bottom.

"Chirp. For the first time, the girls heard the mouse-like cry of the baby elemental, and after two calls, the baby elemental looked around curiously, let out another cry of joy, and pounced on Lina among the rest of the baby elementals who were in a frenzy.

"Why did you come back when you were sober. Lina hesitated for a moment, and was almost pounced. Thankfully, a leg sticks out from behind her and kicks the awake elemental back into the magma pool.

Ignoring the aggrieved tossing up and down of the kicked cub in the lava lake, and pretending not to see Pannis's rough behavior, Dylan clapped his hands behind and shouted, "This is good, this can make the children sober up, and they can be used again." ”

"Don't think about it. Lina waved her weapon and replied, "I can only use twenty to soothe my soul when I am full of mana, one at a time, and when I use all my mana, I will lie down in the back like Vivien." ”

"It's a shame. Dylan pursed his lips in disappointment and calculated the time: "It is estimated that it will last another hour, everyone work hard." ”

"Yikes. Lina was slightly distracted as she spoke, and was scratched by a berserk elemental on her waist, and took a few steps back in the smell of burnt flesh.

"Be careful. Catherine moved half a step sideways, taking over Lina's vacated position, and for a moment took on the attack pressure of all the juvenile elements. "Tactics, hold your ground. Catherine put away her sword and pulled out another iris shield from her five-fold backpack, and both shields touched the ground at the same time, making a crisp sound of metal and rock colliding. With the sound of collision, a hazy fighting aura filled the surface of the shield, blocking the elementals' path like two walls.

The young elementals scratched and pounded their shields with instinct and frantically, but Catherine, under the tremendous pressure, relied on the support of her fighting spirit to block every attack from her defenses, and did not retreat even a step.

"Catherine, I'm back. Hearing Lina's call after the treatment, Catherine pushed the two shields forward, took advantage of the gap to retract one of them, drew her sword with her hand, and used the wide side of the sword to release an arc slash around her body to repel the surrounding elements again, making way for Lina.

"Pennis, how long will it take for Vivien to be ready?" Catherine was already struggling after a long battle: "It's been another half an hour, can't you?"

Although more and more fire elements leaked in compared to the beginning of the battle, Pannis still leisurely kicked one behind the two of them, and when he heard Catherine's anxious question, he replied as if it was none of his business: "Who knows how long it will take, depending on her own comprehension ability and mastery of the knowledge of the magic array, I have met someone who has never been able to comprehend this skill in her life." ”

"That's certainly not the genius of my mage. Elements, hurricanes. element, thunder light grid. Elemental, earth cage. Elemental, earth impact. elements, tornadoes. The girl's confident chant rang out, and the continuous glow of the elements in the cavern announced Vivien's strong return.
