Chapter 44: The Fierce Battle in the Woods
Listening to each other begin to count, Ryan and his companions began to be on full alert.
The opponent is very strong, and I am afraid that this battle will be very difficult. Ryan's proposition has always been to make a low profile in peacetime and go all out in wartime, he would rather be wronged than make a big move, but once the other party touches his bottom line, then Ryan will never be merciful, if Ryan blindly compromises, maybe others think Ryan is weak and easy to bully.
"Two!" the cloaked man counted without hesitation, and Colin put the arrow on the bowstring, and opposite him, Thomas quickly pulled the crossbow away, put in an arrow, and aimed it at the cloaked man.
The battle between the two sides was about to break out, and this solemn atmosphere also made the air in the woods begin to gradually heat up, and a gust of autumn wind swept by, and under the effect of the wind, the fallen leaves flew all over the sky, blocking Ryan's vision, and at this time, the number of people who were shrouded in cloaks made the last number: "Three!"
As soon as the cloaked man spoke, he immediately quickly stretched out his hand to the quiver behind his back, drew out a white feather arrow, and put it on the bowstring for the first time, he pulled the bowstring, did not aim, and shot it out at the position where Ryan was standing. All this was done skillfully and fluently, and others didn't see his movements clearly at all, and could only barely see an afterimage flash, and the white feather arrow flew out.
When the white feather arrow flew in front of Ryan, the sound of the cloaked man loosening the bowstring reached everyone's ears, all of which was quite weird, as if the cloaked man and Ryan were not separated by twenty meters at all, but stood facing each other.
"Smack!" A mirror image of Ryan was pierced by a white feather arrow, directly turning into pieces, and at the same time, Ryan's magic missiles also flew out of his fingertips, and seven magic missiles enveloped the cloaked man's whole body, no matter how he dodged, it was difficult to escape with his whole body.
The cloaked man always thought that the mirror image he had chosen was Ryan's body, but in the end, it turned out to be just a mirror image, which hit his confidence deeply, and the speed at which Ryan released magic also made him frightened, especially since he had always been proud of his archery skills, but the young magician in front of him was not inferior to himself in the speed of releasing magic.
Seeing seven purple balls of light roaring in front of him, the mysterious figure in the cloak inspired a sense of arrogance, he used to fight with others, only he chased others and shot arrows, how could he hide from others' attacks? Seeing that the seven magic missiles were getting closer and closer, the mysterious man in the cloak did not dodge, he was as fast as lightning and pulled out seven white feather arrows from the quiver behind him, and shot them on the bowstring in turn, each white feather arrow shot accurately hit a magic missile launched by Lane, and when all the seven arrows were shot, Lane's seven magic missiles were all knocked out by him with arrows.
Ryan and the cloaked mystery man fought each other against each other, and the two sides could be considered a draw, but Ryan was not alone in the battle, and while the cloaked man and Ryan were fighting, Colin and Thomas also aimed at the target and shot their own arrows.
After a round of rapid shooting, the cloaked mystery man no longer had the strength to continue to draw arrows, but his skills were still agile, only to see the cloaked mystery man holding the longbow in one hand, his body soared into the air, and in mid-air several consecutive side flips, dodging the arrow shot by Colin, the arrow failed to hit the target, but the castration did not decrease, and it was directly nailed to a large tree, while the arrow shot by Thomas with his hand crossbow hit a large rock on the ground, and immediately rebounded and jumped.
The mysterious man in the cloak pushed the ground with one hand, and at the same time pressed his waist, turned his head-down body over, and when his head was up, he immediately pulled out an arrow from his back quiver again, put it on the bowstring, spread his feet apart, squatted down, and pulled the bowstring.
"Whoosh!" the cloaked mysterious man shot at Colin, and he twisted his body and quickly hid himself behind the trunk of a large tree, leaning against the solid trunk of the tree, which blocked Ryan's seven magic missiles for him.
The big tree in the arms of the three of them shook violently, and the seven deep pits in its trunk where it was shot showed the power contained in Lane's magic, which also made the mysterious man in the cloak understand the strength of the opponent in front of him, he was originally full of confidence, and felt that he could completely deal with Lane and them with his own strength, but as soon as he fought, the strength of the other party surprised him, and the magician Lane who originally thought that he could be defeated at the first time was not only not seriously injured, but launched an attack with him, and Lane's companions also showed a certain threat, so that he had to be distracted to defend, which will inevitably affect the battle between the cloaked man and Laneใ
"What should I do?" the cloaked mysterious man carefully guarded the situation on Ryan's side, leaning back against the tree and thinking hard about what to do. Since the cloaked man himself still has important matters, it is impossible to fight with Ryan and them here, but now that the war has begun, he has not gained the upper hand at all, which makes the mysterious man in the cloak distressed, and he also has a faint regret in his heart, he should not provoke Ryan and his party.
At this moment, powerful magic fluctuations interrupted the thinking of the mysterious man in the cloak, and he quickly popped out of his upper body to observe the enemy's situation, only to find that in front of him, a female magician had completely completed a fireball magic. Looking at the bright red ball in the other party's hand, the mysterious man in the cloak hurriedly moved his body and quickly shuttled through the woods, as far away as possible from the place where he had been staying.
"Boom!" The sound of fireball explosions resounded throughout the forest, and the scorching flames rose into the sky, and the powerful attack force blasted a large number of dead branches and leaves piled up on the ground into the air. After the dust settled, around the fireball, many small flames burned vigorously, and the flames just now rose into the sky and tore a hole in the dense canopy above the center of the explosion, allowing the sunlight to shine directly.
The cause of all this is Faraz's fireball technique, and under the guidance of Ryan, her magic power has made great progress, and all of this is fully reflected in the fireball technique just now.
The mysterious man wearing the cloak secretly screamed in his heart, any one of the other party fought with him alone, and the cloaked man was sure of winning, but once the other party cooperated, the cloaked man was helpless, because the opponent's cooperation was very tacit, and this tacit understanding could often exert several times the power.
In order not to be threatened by the opponent's magician with a wide range of magic, the mysterious man in the cloak had to keep moving his body, so that the other party could not concentrate on the fatal blow to himself, he kept stepping on the trunk of the tree with both feet, and used the force to make his body take off, and jumped continuously without landing on his feet in the woods, all of which looked very similar to the firefox.
When Ryan saw this scene, his blood immediately boiled, he was excited that he could get a close opponent, in order to be able to have a good competition, Ryan looked up to the sky and let out a long roar like Allendo, signaling Colin to retreat, and he himself rushed forward without hesitation.
Ryan couldn't bounce his feet like the Cloaked Man without touching the ground, but he was able to move quickly on the ground, which was enough for Ryan to catch up with the Cloaked Man. And the mysterious man in the cloak saw that Ryan was chasing after him alone, and his heart was suddenly happy, as long as it was one-on-one, he would never think that Ryan, a magician, could win him, this was not his arrogance, but something that had been proven countless times over thousands of years.
The two of them kept moving through the woods, and kept attacking as they moved, the cloaked mysterious man kept drawing arrows, drawing bows, and shooting, while Ryan pointed his fingers and released one magic missile after another. White feather arrows and purple missiles shuttle back and forth, which is very beautiful.
Judging from the scene, the cloaked mystery man has a slight upper hand, because he is far more agile and agile than Ryan, who can shoot down with arrows or dodge with a straight roll. On the other hand, Ryan, because his skills are much worse than the other party, he must put his own safety first, so Ryan spent a lot of time releasing the Stone Skin Technique and the Mirror Technique to protect himself, and the more time he spends on defense, he will naturally fall into a disadvantage in attack.
The two sides went back and forth, fighting for more than twenty minutes, Ryan's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he even had to quickly hide behind the trunk of the tree, wiping the sweat on his face with the sleeve of the magician's robe without grace, and although the mysterious man in the cloak could not see his expression, his gradually heavy breathing was enough to explain everything.
The cloaked mystery man was also the first time he had encountered an opponent like Ryan, and he was so excited that his arm once again quickly drew feather arrows from the quiver behind his back, and then put them on the bowstring, and this set of things was completed in one go, leaving an afterimage in the air, and he also continuously drew white feather arrows from the quiver and shot them at Ryan.
More than a dozen arrows flew almost in a straight line towards Ryan's face, and Ryan also let out a loud shout, and his hands clicked continuously, sniping at the white feather arrows flying in the air with a continuous stream of magic missiles. The two sides were at a stalemate, and neither of them wanted to back down, because this would allow the other side to take advantage of the opportunity to attack with the momentum of victory, and it would put themselves in a very dangerous situation.
The mysterious man in the cloak became more and more frightened, he found that the other party could actually use magic to block his own rapid shooting, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no matter who said it, he wouldn't believe it, which also aroused the cloaked man's good heart, and he even accelerated the speed of the arrow, suppressing Ryan's attack with more intensive shots.
