Chapter 4 The Beginning of the Edge
Both the dragon and the wurm species have super high magic resistance, depending on their own attributes, taking the dragon as an example, the dragon can be immune to almost all the magic released by the mage below the water magister. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info And the dragon itself is also a very powerful source of magic, and the dragon can release all the water mages of the Magus level. It stands to reason that the magic level of the magister is about the same as that of the dragon, but because of the limited age of human beings, even the magistor can only live for a few hundred years, and the dragon needs tens of thousands of years to become an adult. Moreover, the Divine Dragon's physique is the strongest among known creatures, so in a one-on-one situation, the Magister has no possibility of winning the Divine Dragon.
――Ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Dragon Magic"
"I haven't asked you your name yet, what's your name? My name is Irene Phoebe. I am the daughter of the village chief and am now studying magic at the village magic academy. Irene followed Bert slowly through the forest, and as a magician, she was beginning to lose some of his footsteps.
"My name is Bert Harvey, and I live next door from Mino, and I come to Staufen every morning to sell something for a living. Bert noticed that Eileen couldn't walk a little anymore, so he slowed down. It's been more than two hours since I came out of the village, and now I'm deep in the primeval forest, and the dense foliage blocks almost all the sunlight. Deep in the forest, where there were almost no roads on the ground because no one had set foot all year round, Bert held a scythe in front of him.
"Hold on a little longer, it's almost there, I smell the swamp, be careful, if you fall into the swamp, you'll be miserable." "Bert hadn't seen a magician before, but as far as he knew, magicians had poor physical strength, and magicians were born with a talent for magic, and they would be selected to go to the magic academy at birth and enjoy all the high treatment. In Bert's eyes, the magician is a very expensive gem, and although it is valuable, it will shatter if it accidentally falls to the ground.
"Well, wait, the book says that the best way to deal with the swamp is to use levitation magic, and I'm not a wind mage, but there's something similar in my magic. I'll give you a status first. After speaking, the girl sang in a low voice: "Gravity, Lord of the Earth, release your captive~"
At the moment when Erin finished releasing the magic, Bert felt his body light, and his body of more than eighty kilograms staggered and floated. Bert, who was exposed to magic for the first time, was extremely excited, but almost hit his head into a tree due to his unstable center of gravity. Eileen then unleashed a spell on herself.
"Anti-gravity is not the same as levitation, this magic requires more control of gravity by the caster, and you can keep your body balanced. "Fortunately, Bert is a dual-wielding swordsman who is mainly agile, although he doesn't know much about this principle yet, but it didn't take long to master it.
Just as Bert was beginning to become familiar with the magic, Bert, who had been hunting for many years, suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and his intuition told him that they were being targeted by the predators. As a high-level hunter, it is natural to know very well where the trappers are hiding. Bert looked back downwind and saw an eagle's eyes cut through the layers of forest, and a velociraptor hiding behind a tree was staring at him. In the split second of their gaze, the Trapper was dispatched, and if it did not attack at this time, it would lose its last chance to get dinner.
It was too careless to spot the enemy at a distance of less than ten meters. Because he was new to magic, Bert was so excited to let such a short-distance predator who was very fast get so close. Almost the moment the velociraptor jumped out, Bert pushed Eileen away, throwing the scythe in his hand at the beast, and backhanding out the sword behind his back. For ease of carrying, Bert's twin swords were combined when sheathed, and most people would think he was a decent two-handed swordsman.
Facing the scythe flying in the air, the one-meter-seven-tall velociraptor waved its huge claws and flew away in one fell swoop. Although the front claws of the velociraptor are small, the claws alone have reached ten centimeters long, and because they like to eat carrion, the claws of the velociraptor contain corpse rotting poison. And because velociraptors always lick their claws, their teeth and saliva are toxins. As long as you get a little scratch, if you don't have a priest or an antidote, I'm afraid you'll be in the wilderness.
Bert naturally knew that the scythe could not cause damage to the velociraptor at all, and Bert held the sword in both hands, and the tip of the sword was raised from the bottom to the top of the velociraptor to the velociraptor . After Bert became familiar with the use of the twin swords, Celt opened the sword. Although the sharpness cannot be compared with the sharp weapons of the gods, it can be regarded as a sword that cuts mosquitoes like mud. A cold light flashed, and the velociraptor subconsciously shrank its claws, and two of its five claws were cut off in an instant.
The velociraptor is a subspecies of Beausaurus, and its intelligence is more than a little higher than that of the lower creatures, and it immediately understood that this weapon could cause a lot of damage to itself. The sturdy two hind legs quickly dodged the second sword that slashed head-on. The speed of the velociraptor in a short sprint was even faster than that of a cheetah, and although its body weighed hundreds of pounds, it was like a nimble rabbit, and quickly launched an attack on Bert from the side.
It was also the first time for Bert to encounter such a fierce beast, and he didn't expect such a huge velociraptor to quickly adjust the direction of his sprint in such a short period of time, and the sword that had just been split was too late to be withdrawn, and the giant palate dripping with saliva of the velociraptor was already close at hand. "The gears of time, slow down your pace!" With a coquettish shout, Erin, who had already reacted, released a time intermediate magic very in time. The lightning-fast velociraptor was immediately slowed down, and Bert quickly jumped backwards to dodge the attack.
"Be careful, this velociraptor is very fast, my magic can only control it for a while, and the dragon's magic resistance is very high. Sure enough, the reacting velociraptor shook its huge head violently and let out a huge dragon roar into the sky, removing Erin's magic effect.
Seeing that the prey that was about to arrive slipped away like this, the velociraptor roared loudly and rushed towards Bert again, "Boom, boom, boom" Every time the velociraptor foot landed, Bert on the opposite side could feel the powerful vibration of the ground. The giant beast took at least two meters at every step of the way, and it only took a few breaths to accelerate from more than ten meters to the front. However, Bert, who was already ready, did not panic, and dodged sideways in the moment before the velociraptor struck, and at the same time held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and with one force, the two-handed sword was split in two, and the short sword in his left hand stabbed into the heart of the velociraptor in the heart. Facing Bert, who suddenly turned from defense to attack, the experienced velociraptor turned sharply and slashed at Bert with both hands. It's a lose-lose move. The velociraptor is covered with scale armor all over its body, even if it is pierced into the body by a sharp weapon, there are two skeletons in the heart of the velociraptor blocking the periphery of the heart, and ordinary weapons can no longer penetrate the skeleton and hurt the heart after piercing the scale armor and then piercing the strong muscles, and it is Bert who dies in the end.
It's a pity that Bert didn't fall into the trap of the velociraptor but was tricked by the velociraptor and slashed off with the short sword of his right hand raised high, targeting the head of the velociraptor that was spinning. The velociraptor didn't expect the young man who looked very young in front of him to be so ruthless, first exposing himself to danger, and then attacking his most vulnerable head with his elusive double short sword.
The huge body that was moving at high speed turned around in a short period of time before the side effects of inertia could be controlled, and the velociraptor had no choice but to lower his head and pounce on Bert's arms. This time. Bert couldn't dodge the velociraptor attack anymore, "Time and Space Spirit, Gravity Well, Extreme Gravity!" After a slow chant, Erin finally released the advanced space-time magic "Ultimate Gravity" at the last moment. While the wurm species may resist most magic, the velociraptor is unable to resist high-level magic. The magic of "ultimate gravity" explodes gravity at one point, creating a huge gravitational force, and ordinary people will be crushed into a patty by this huge gravitational force. Even a very strong beast like a velociraptor couldn't withstand such a strong pressure, and its entire body was sucked into a large chunk by gravity in an instant. As an intermediate magician, Erin unleashed high-level magic in a hurry, and the backlash of the magic elves made her vomit a mouthful of blood.
The velociraptor was suppressed by the "ultimate gravity", and the pressure plummeted Bert's left and right hands merged, and the two-handed sword slashed hard, and the huge head of the velociraptor fell to the ground with the spray of blood.
The "boom" was accompanied by a loud bang, and the huge body of the velociraptor that had lost its head also fell to the ground. Bert hurriedly ran over to help the crumbling Erin. "Are you alright?" Eileen was so weak from the magic that she fainted in Bert's arms. Bert sniffed Erin's snort, but fortunately, it was fine, and Bert's hanging heart was put down.
Bert suddenly realized that Erin was lying in his arms like this, and his whole face turned red. Bert, who has never been in contact with a girl since he was a child, hugged a girl for the first time, and it was such a beautiful girl, and his heart was beating very fast.
Bert lowered his head, and it turned out that Erin's skin was so good when he got closer. Perhaps because he had just vomited blood, his originally fair skin was now whiter, like the bright moon on a full moon night, or the warm jade.
Staying in the depths of the jungle is not an option, and Bert, who doesn't know much about magic, doesn't know how to treat Erin who is being eaten by magic, so Bert can only pick up Erin and walk quickly out of the forest.
