Chapter 137: Mirage
The Obsidian Construct Titan's eye was hit so hard that he lost almost most of his senses, but this level of damage was not enough to affect his own combat ability. (For the latest chapter reading, please visit)
Master Stephen thinks that Count Sneck alone can't write complex programming commands for the Obsidian Construct Titan, and in fact Count Sneick doesn't seem to have any plans to do it in the first place. When the Obsidian Titan is activated, the default order is to kill and destroy indiscriminately, and that's exactly what he wants.
Whether in terms of combat effectiveness or the ultimate goal, the black giant is still in an overwhelming position of initiative. He can do whatever he wants before his power cores are depleted, and El must do everything he can to hold him back for five minutes. Even without the protection of the protective demon pattern for a while, his body was still as hard as steel, not only invulnerable to knives and guns, but also without human pain nerves, smelly and hard like stones in the toilet.
El had created enough hatred, but was still at a loss as to what to do next. He dodged the black giant's iron fist and tentatively returned the arrow. The arrow struck the black giant's face, snapping it neatly into two pieces, leaving only an inconspicuous white mark. The potion concocted by Master Stephen seems to be specifically aimed at the eyes of the black giant, and does not have a noticeable corrosive effect on the obsidian itself.
Perhaps due to the loss of visual impairment that caused his body movements, the black giant's intelligent system also began to make a reactive change, and he no longer tried in vain to smash the little fly that was entangled in front of him with his fist, withdrew his hand and paused for a moment, then suddenly raised a foot and fell hard.
This time, although the direction of his attack was still aimed at El, the real target was the ground beneath his feet. I saw him stomp on him with one foot, and the whole land trembled violently. El was circling the black giant, and was involuntarily bounced up under the tremor of the earth.
When he ran with all his might, he could only see a phantom with the naked eye, but when he was bounced up, he had no way to borrow his strength, and his figure was immediately revealed. A bloody glint flashed in the remaining half of the black giant's eyes, and he raised his other foot and whistled against the ground, kicking up a cloud of sand and dust.
Tiana crossed her hands and whispered an obscure syllable in her mouth. El only felt that the light in front of him was dim, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was ten meters away, and where he had just stayed, another "El" was instantly buried and swallowed by the sand.
The light magic "King Chariot Castling" randomly teleports the target to a nearby area within a radius of 10 meters, while creating a mirror image equivalent to the target in place. Although it is easy to explain, it actually involves the field of space magic, which can truly be called "great magic".
The light magician from Sky City has a very different understanding of light from the academic spellcaster, so he calls himself a magician. In their understanding of the concept of magic, magicians tend to be mystical rather than destructive, and they see no difference between magicians who only focus on the power of magic and barbarians who only know how to use brute force.
As a magician who has stepped into the secret realm of silver, the girl has the capital of self-confidence, and has never lost her cool even when facing the black giant. The black giant with a damaged eye and the ability to attack from a distance, no matter how terrifying his strength was, was only brute force, and he was exactly the kind of opponent she was least afraid of.
The girl raised her staff, pointed it at the black giant's feet, and said, "Fossils are mud!"
The ground beneath the giant's feet suddenly collapsed, turning into a muddy mass of unknown depth. Compared to the size of the black giant, the quagmire was a pitiful area, at most it could trap the sole of one of his feet, and it could be escaped with just a lift of his leg, so it was almost meaningless.
But even if you can delay it for a second, it can be considered rewarding. With the legendary weapon "Arc Crusher", inherited from the great mage Doria, she unleashes low-level spells that not only reduce the cost, but also give additional effect bonuses. Before the black giant could climb out of the quagmire, she quickly unleashed a barrage of low-level spells, still targeting the ground beneath the black giant's feet.
"Turn mud into stone!" the mire beneath the black giant's feet quickly condensed into a rock.
"Quicksand!" the ground beneath the black giant's other foot turned into quicksand.
Even without the protection of the protective magic pattern, the body material of the Obsidian Titan itself is enough to resist all the attacks of the Silver Rank, neither physical attacks nor magical bombardment. But from another point of view, this is also a weakness - insensitivity to external stimuli.
Ordinary magic can't work on obsidian, but this stubborn stone lacks the ability to cope with changes in external conditions.
After fixing the two feet of the black giant, the scale of Tiana's mouth suddenly rose three degrees, strode forward and thrust the staff into the ground, a white light rose from the diamond at the top of the staff, and six transparent water curtains of the same height formed around the black giant's body out of thin air, refracting a dazzling light that was impossible to look at.
El subconsciously closed his eyes and turned his head, and when he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but be stunned to see endless rolling yellow sand falling from the sky, completely burying the black giant.
It only occupies the silver median position in the ranking of academic magicians for illusion magic, but in the inheritance of light magicians, it is listed as a great magic in the forbidden field - "Mirage"!
"It's a lie, isn't it?" Although he knew the answer in his heart, El ran back to Tiana and asked again and again. Between heaven and earth, a pillar of thick quicksand more than ten meters high suddenly appeared, even if it was known to be an illusion, it was enough to make people tremble.
"I can only sustain this magic for a minute now. Tiana clenched her staff, her face a little pale, but her tone was still confident: "For him, it's a minute of truth." ”
The truth of magic is to deceive perception. Human perception includes sight, hearing, etc., and even the sixth sense, including intuition, which is combined to form human understanding of the world. If a person's entire perception can be completely deceived, then the illusion becomes real for him.
The Obsidian Titan is not a living being in the true sense of the word, and his perception is merely a human program. To put it simply, it can be boiled down to two types, one is the vision used to lock on to the target, and the other is the somatosensory to maintain the body's balance and mobility. Tiana restrained his mobility with terrain-altering spells, while using a mirage to create vision-deceptive illusions.
When this scattered information is aggregated into the Obsidian Titan's intelligent system, it is considered to be "stuck in a quicksand area". In this state, the black giant will not think about the truth or falsehood of the quicksand at all, and will only stand in place and struggle desperately in vain.
There is no such ridiculous loophole for a war weapon in its full state, and the Obsidian Titan that actually appears on the battlefield must be jointly manipulated by three alchemists, who set the corresponding procedures according to the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield. And this obsidian construct titan summoned by Count Snecker can only rely on the default program to rampage, and in the eyes of connoisseurs, it is naturally full of flaws.
"A minute or less, it looks like we're going to have reinforcements. El patted the girl on the shoulder and smiled, and he saw that the garrison was clearing the rubble from the ruins of the city gates, and in the distance he could see the square banners of the Knights flying high.
When Antonio decided to suppress Count Sneiker, he only secretly mobilized the elite of the knights in order not to attract attention, but he didn't expect the situation to suddenly deteriorate to the point where it was out of control. When the Obsidian Titan and the Purple Demon God both arrived, it was too late to invest in the power of the Knights.
However, with Master Stephen's planned weakening of the Obsidian Construct Titan, the monster's power level was gradually brought back to an acceptable level, and the Knights were also ready under the command of Knight Leonard. El examined their equipment and saw that the knights had all abandoned their spears in favor of two-handed heavy weapons such as long-handled warhammers.
"To deal with a big smelly and hard stone, you have to beat it slowly. El nodded, he didn't have a suitable weapon in his hand, and of course, even if he did, he wouldn't dare to rush to death alone.
Tiana didn't speak again, just put her hands on her staff and breathed quietly. As time passed, the mirage of the six water curtains gradually began to blur, and the phantom of endless quicksand began to distort. Two huge iron fists abruptly pierced through the water curtain, and Tiana snorted, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
With less than three minutes left before Master Stephen's time limit, and the Knights clearly not yet able to charge immediately, El must hold back the Black Giant at all costs in the seemingly short but crucial few minutes, or all that will be lost.
"Don't go over, I have other options. Tiana wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, grabbed the corner of El's coat and whispered.
"How can a girl stand in front of such a thing?" El rubbed the girl's long moon-white hair wildly, and a cynical smile appeared on his face, "Don't worry, I got a lot of inspiration from you." ”
He took the dragon's tooth arch on his back and walked towards the black giant who was about to break through the realm.
There is no need for too many words, the two people have formed a tacit understanding with each other at some point. When he chose to continue fighting, she unconditionally trusted his self-confidence. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
