Chapter 87: Accident (2)
The addition of the puppets has played a huge role, although it is not clear that the puppets who originally looked very small can have a body like an adult, which is undoubtedly a very incredible thing.
I have never heard of a similar phenomenon happening to some kind of magic puppet, after all, most of the bodies that make up the puppet's body are various precious metals in the current world, such as mythril, that is to say, their bodies are constant and cannot be changed, but Jiang Zhe and their chess puppets ignore the basic laws of this world.
Especially the queen puppet Quin, she was dragging her master Lavia's hair on the road just now and standing on her shoulder, but now...... What exactly is it that makes up their bodies?
Remember, the old professor who made these chess puppets mentioned that he found the puppet-making drawings left behind by the prehistoric mechanical civilization Mekande from ancient ruins, and in the process of studying those drawings, he made a total of six chess puppets: the king, the queen, the bishop, the knight, the castle, and the soldier.
But when the old professor of Djerbat gave four of the puppets to Jiang Zhe and the others, he smashed the other two, the king and the bishop.
At that time, the children didn't think that there was anything special about these four chess puppets, at best they were just fun, but the truth was that these were very rare puppets, and it was certain that the old professor of Derbat used absolutely no ordinary metal when making these puppets.
What metal can reach such an astonishing level?
These puppets are simply stronger than their masters, first of all, the castle Canso has a super defensive ability, although the movement is slow and miserable, but the tenacious surname is not only several times stronger than the rock golem summoned by Reed, but he also has a special ability, that is, he can swap places with his master anytime and anywhere, of course, this requires Alan to be within a certain range with his puppet Canso.
Secondly, Queen Kunyin, she looked like a beautiful aristocratic young woman, elegant and full of charm, but unfortunately, she was like a rose with thorns, her white and slender ten fingers were enough to compare to the sharp blade, her speed was the fastest of all the puppets, even faster than the wind, and her eyes alone could not catch his movements, only the sound of the wind was heard, and the frost skeleton in front of her was like a dead branch and a rotten leaf.
However, it is Scott's puppet knight Knight, armed with a spear and shield, in terms of speed, strength, defense, offense, etc., he is the most comprehensive of the four puppets, which can not only become a sharp spear in the team, but also a strong shield in the team, plus his silver shining armor, which makes Alan very red-eyed.
As for the last soldier, Sojes...... Seriously, this guy has mediocre offense, mediocre defense, mediocre speed, mediocre strength, compared to the other three chess puppets, it seems to be a failure, and I can't see anything special about this guy at all.
The other three puppets can help their masters take charge of themselves, but Sorgers can't even deal with a single frost skeleton, it's useless!
But in any case, the addition of the puppet greatly relieved the pressure on everyone, after all, except for Allen, everyone else is a pure magician, if they are approached by those frost skeletons, it is hard to imagine that there will be no danger to their lives, and when the four ...... No, after three powerful puppets participate in the battle, this danger is greatly reduced.
The frost skeletons in the library are being dealt with one by one, after all, these frost skeletons are too fragile except for the cold flames on their bodies, not to mention Allen's slash, even the fire bombs cast by Jiang Zhe can break the bones on their bodies.
"Smack!"
"Boom, boom!" Boom Boom!" Bursts of cyan flames exploded on the body of the Lich Amos Hallewell, and the cyan flames were already capable of inflicting damage on the Lich.
Hallewell was annoyed, his skeletal face became more and more hideous, and his body couldn't help but burn with a dark blue cold flame, which was even colder and colder than those frost skeletons!
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!" Hallewell opened his arms, faintly seeing a faint blue mist in the air, and then, this mist created a huge whirlpool like flowing water, in the gust of cold wind, the rich wind element and water element were gathered in large numbers in the center of the whirlpool, and then, a touch of frost appeared in the air very strangely, looking like ice flowers, with a strong dangerous aura.
"Oh my God!" Bernie snapped with wide eyes and a look of horror, "Hurry!
The children subconsciously propped up the strongest shield for them, and Alan called Kanso back to the team in time, acting as the tightest shield.
"Buzz!" With a sound similar to tinnitus, the entire library slammed to the ground, and the countless small flower-like ice crystals exploded in an instant, turning into dense crushed ice and shooting in all directions.
【Frostblast】
The crowd felt dizzy in their minds, and then, hearing a sound similar to the sound of glass shattering, they couldn't help but be terrified, because the shield they had used to exert their strength was as fragile as tissue paper in the face of the Lich's powerful attack.
By the time they came to their senses, the entire library had taken on a different look, and there used to be rows and rows of bookshelves, but now ...... All around, in the vast white expanse, those bookshelves with a long history have already been shattered by the explosion of ice, looking at the solid wood slag on the ground, it is not difficult to see the power of those ice crystals.
And the walls on all sides are covered with broken ice, and there are potholes everywhere, it is hard to imagine what it would be like if the rainstorm of debris hit people, will it be like those frost skeletons, the bones of the body will be blown to the ground?
Secretly wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Bernie said with palpitations, "It's an ice-based fourth-level frost burst technique, it's comparable to a small forbidden spell...... "The small forbidden spell he said refers to the sixth-level magic.
"Woo......" Reed got up from the ground, and after consuming his mana, he was stunned by the loud roar, and until now he still looked groggy, only to see him pat his forehead, with a little concern, and said in a deep voice, "Are you all right?"
Like him, among the girls, Dia, Lisa, and Lyrela were all stunned by the loud roar, and were held up by the boys next to them in time, only Lavia survived, but a large patch of blood oozed from the clothes on her right arm.
Seeing her puppet and queen Kunyin looking at her with guilt and concern, Lavia smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just a small piece of broken ice that scratched the ......."
"Is it just like that? It's terrible......" As he spoke, Alan seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly turned his head to look at Kanso, who was standing in front of the group, only to see that he had been frozen into a large lump of ice.
"Worthy ...... Canso?" Allen's eyes showed a bit of eagerness and worry, and he patted Kanso, who was half-crouching with his arms crossed over his chest, and shouted loudly, "Hey, hey, Canso?"
"Click!" There were a few cracks in the ice on Kanso's body, and then, the ice was shattered, and Kanso, who had shattered the broken ice on his body, stood up again, and it could be seen that his rock skin had been severely traumatized, covered with scars that had been invaded by countless ice blocks, but then, his rock skin was very strangely healed, and it was impossible to see that this guy had just blocked the dense hail for everyone.
"Hey!" Alan with a faint worry in his heart let out a long sigh of relief, he was still a little disgusted with Kanso's ugly appearance, grinned, and then slapped Kanso's rough rock skin, with a little approval, and whispered, "Good job, man!"
Kanso blankly scratched his head with his big hand.
"Kanso is amazing!" said Lisa, who was standing next to Allen, grinning, with a curious glint in her eyes.
Not only Lisa, but even Scott couldn't help but glance at Canso in surprise, but he clearly saw that the power of the hailstorm could not even be resisted by the hard iron shield in the hands of his puppet and knight Knight, and it was hit by dense debris, and this kind of powerful ice storm could not cause serious damage to Canso...... This puppet's defense is terrifying, isn't it?
Glancing deeply at the tall Canso, Bernie was secretly a little frightened, and then, as if remembering something, he looked around eagerly, and whispered, "Attention, little ones, this is not the time for small talk!"
Only then did everyone remember that there was a powerful lich watching from the side.
"Where's that guy?" Alan looked around, surrounded by a white dusty ice patch.
"He's there!" the sharp-eyed Lyrela whispered, pointing in one direction.
"Huh?"
The group looked in the direction Lyrela was pointing, only to see the lich Hallewell floating silently in a white frost, staring at them coldly.
"What is he doing?" asked Dia quietly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Harlewell's frosty voice was heard in the distance.
"Amos is surprised, human, that you didn't die in the Frost Burst...... It seems that Amos really underestimated you," said Amos, Halle Well paused, stretched out his finger with only bones left and pointed at the human in front of him, and said with a cold chill, "You have failed Amos's kindness, and now Amos has changed his mind, Amos wants to make you completely aware of the horror of frost, Amos wants to freeze you into ice sculptures one by one, and take your souls with you to become part of my collection!" After speaking, he raised his right hand, only to hear a bang, and a solid thick wall of ice rose from the gate behind everyone.
【Glacier Barrier】
"Oops," Bernie said with a hard swallow and a cold sweat as he glanced at the ice wall behind him, "this guy has completely blocked our retreat, and it seems that he doesn't want us to escape...... Damn!"
"Become your collection, what are you kidding!" Alan grinned, carrying the knight's sword and grinning, "You just cast so much magic, your magic power must be very depleted......" As he spoke, he held the knight's sword flat with one hand and pointed at the lich Hallewell, pouting and saying, "Look how the great battle mage Lord Allen cleans you up!"
Beside him, the castle of Canso also seemed to be under the influence of its master, gearing up and ready to join the battle at any moment.
"Don't be impulsive, Alan!" Lavia, who was holding her right arm, hurriedly called out to the eager Allen, and whispered, "I can feel that this guy's magic is still abundant...... but before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Bernie.
"How can it not be abundant!" Bernie whispered with a bitter smile on his face, "The lich was formerly known as the Necromancer, and legend has it that they were terrible creatures who broke the shackles, and they were not restricted by magic at all, even if they cast a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand spells, you should not expect to exhaust their magic power......"
"Hey, is it really fake?" Alan was dumbfounded and said, "Isn't that as many magic as they want?"
"Yes!" Bernie nodded, bitter, "it's a power that the lich paid for his own body...... So, don't expect a lich to run out of mana, all we can do is hold him back as long as we can, and wait for the branch to send someone to help him - it's a bit impossible to defeat this lich, but it's still possible to get out of here!"
"Hey, I'm ......" interrupted Bernie, Lisa crossed her arms, her body trembling slightly, and whispered, "Do you feel it...... It's getting colder?"
"Indeed......" Larella, who was also tightly wrapped in her coat, glanced around, then pointed to the wall and exclaimed, "On the wall, on the wall...... It's frozen!"
"What?" the crowd turned their heads in astonishment, looking in the direction Lerella was pointing, and saw that the walls around me were freezing at an alarming rate, and the library was like a huge ice cellar.
"Click, click!" Not only the walls, but also the ground and even the air were gradually frozen, and the huge ice picks actually condensed in the air out of thin air, and then fell to the ground and shattered due to gravity.
"It's so uncomfortable...... Lisa's face was red from the cold, but more importantly, the air in this room gradually became thinner, as if even the air was frozen by the cold snap.
"It's not going to go on like this...... muttered to herself, as if Lavia wanted to cast fire magic to raise her temperature, but when she subconsciously raised her arm, her face couldn't help but show a little pain - it seemed that her injuries were not as easy as she said.
"Let me come!" Jiang Zhe obviously saw Lavia's painful expression, patted her shoulder lightly, and then whispered, "Don't stay too far away from me!" As he spoke, he saw his eyes glaze out, and a large number of fire elements poured out from his whole body in an incomparably rapid manner, and in just a few seconds, the flames composed of fire elements formed a flame giant bear that was more than twenty yards high, enveloping everyone.
This little imp...... Bernie's eyes couldn't help but show a deep sense of consternation.
"Hmm?" As if the lich Hallewell, who was enjoying the beautiful scenery, was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the flaming giant bear, and subconsciously floated backwards, and then stared at Jiang Zhe in surprise and said, "Amos is very surprised, very surprised, human ......" said, he changed his tone, with endless regret, sighed and said, "It's amazing magic, but it's useless, if you still want to struggle......" As he spoke, a faint blue light flashed in his empty eyes, and then, the frost that filled the surroundings strangely condensed together, forming an anthropomorphic beast that looked like a bird.
It was a blue anthropomorphic beast composed entirely of countless ice blocks of different sizes, huge wings that could fan the fierce cold wind, two powerful toe claws on its abdomen, flashing with a cold light comparable to steel, and a tail whisker four or five yards long dragged on its tail was as sharp as a spear.
Of course, the deadliest thing is the beak on its head, which is chilling enough to pierce any object just by looking at it.
Glancing at her little hand, Lisa whispered with a little horror, "What is this?"
"Griffon?" Scott pushed his glasses unconfidently.
"It's a phoenix!Ice magic is a very rare mimic magic, [Ice Crystal Phoenix]!" Learning water magic Dia naturally knows more about ice magic than others, after all, ice magic is not only a composite magic of water and wind, but also mostly uses water magic, just like the [Ice Explosion Technique] and [Frost Explosion Technique] performed by the Lich Harlewell just now, the predecessor of these two kinds of magic is the fourth-level magic of the water system, [Water Demon Explosion].
"Ice Crystals...... Phoenix, Phoenix, what is that?" Frowning slightly, Scott asked in a low voice, he was always curious about this kind of thing.
Before Dia could explain, Bernie voiced the question in everyone's mind.
"Phoenix, is a kind of legendary bird and beast in history, just like the terrible dragon, belongs to the legendary level of the monster, they appeared in the alchemy age, but then disappeared like the dragon, maybe extinct, after all, at that time, warriors were inclined to kill the ferocious monsters famous...... But I've heard of the Fire Phoenix, but this Ice Crystal Phoenix ......," he said, he subconsciously glanced at the huge Fire Bear that enveloped them, scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, "Of course, I haven't heard of the Flame Bear......"
"Of course, you can't have heard of any flame bears!" Lavia said with a sneer, "Ordinary fire mages will use foxes, snakes, birds, and other beasts as the image of mimics, and bears or other mimics, only earth mages will use them—which guy would use fire magic to mimic bears?"
Lavia is right, the essence of anthropomorphic magic is nothing more than to make the elements mimic the form of a certain beast, so as to obtain some special abilities of the beast, such as the speed and dexterity of a fox, the tenacity and strength of a bear, or the affinity for a certain element, such as the sand snake that lives in a hot area, and the use of fire magic to mimic the snake can better enhance the strength of the flame given, which is based on the basic laws of the world.
After all, the essence of anthropomorphic magic is to make one's magic add some kind of beast, or the special ability of a demonic beast, but if you use fire magic to personify a bear with the original native surname, so that the flame increases its strength and tenacity, it doesn't make any sense at all, do you still expect to use a disembodied flame to knock your opponent to death?
Glancing at Lavia, Jiang Zhe said angrily, "I originally used it as a defensive magic, can't I?"
"You!"
"Okay, okay, you two don't forget where we are now," Bernie, who couldn't laugh and cry, secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then, as if he felt a strong wind, he turned around and said eagerly, "It's coming!"
In fact, there was no need for Bernie to remind him, Jiang Zhe had been paying attention to the huge ice crystal phoenix, its size was almost comparable to that of the Flame Giant Bear, if it was caught by the other party, it would not be a joke.
"Roar!" The Flame Giant Bear roared, and handed out the flame form a bear claw at the enemy in front of him, and grabbed it fiercely on the wings of the ice crystal phoenix that pounced on it, only to hear a "whoosh", and the ice crystal phoenix's left wing left a clear dissolution mark.
"Great, South!" said Lisa delighted at the sight, "Fire is the enemy of ice!"
"Not necessarily," interrupted Lisa, and Lavia said calmly, "Look at the fire bear's paws again!"
When everyone looked up, they were shocked to see that a large piece of the front paws used by the fire bear had been frozen.
"Oh my God, it's such a terrible low temperature ......" muttered to herself, Dia subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhe beside her, only to feel that the magic power output on the boy's body had doubled in an instant, and then, the frozen claws of the fire bear returned to normal again.
"Can you hold on?" Thos?" asked Dia with concern.
"Hmm," nodding, Jiang Zhe looked at the frost phoenix and said, "My magic power is still abundant, it should be able to last for a long time, and that lich is relatively ...... to our offensive in order to control this ice crystal phoenix" Speaking of this, he was stunned.
Because he sensed that the magic fluctuation of the lich Hallewell was a little abnormal, and the other party was actually casting the next magic?
How can it be?
The only difference between Anthropomorphism and Summoning is that the caster must always be in control of the Anthropomorphic Beast, otherwise the Anthropomorphic Beast will be in a sluggish state as a mere shell, but the Lich in front of him clearly subverts this fact: while he casts his magic, the Ice Crystal Phoenix is still wrestling with the Flame Giant.
How is this possible?
"Shield!" Bernie apparently noticed this, and hurriedly supported several layers of shields with the children, and just as the shields were raised, dense ice arrows poured down from the ceiling like a torrential rain, and if the shields were delayed for a few seconds, the consequences would be truly unimaginable.
"How is that possible? Could it be that he is using his mental power to control the Ice Crystal Phoenix while performing magic?" said Lavia, who was clutching her injured arm, as she seemed to have noticed the anomaly of the mimetic beast.
Speaking of which, the ice crystal phoenix is indeed a bit unusual, comparing its movements with the flame giant bear, it can be found that the flame giant bear controlled by Jiang Zhe tends to be human in the way of attack, just simply attacking with its claws, at most occasionally biting a few times, not at all like the attack method of bears, it is no wonder, after all, it is Jiang Zhe who controls it as a human.
But the Ice Crystal Wind Phoenix is different, it is very skillful in the use of various parts of its body that can be used as weapons, the beak, toe claws, wings, and the spear-like tail whiskers on the tail, after bearing the claws of the Flame Giant Bear, it has been swimming outside the opponent's attack range, using its own flexibility to deal with the bulkiness of the Flame Giant Bear, which is very incredible for a mimetic beast without intelligence.
Even if it was controlled by the lich, it couldn't be controlled to such an extent, could it? judging by its movements, it was almost a living creature and not some kind of anthropomorphic beast.
"Projection anthropomorphism...... Bernie, who seemed to have noticed something, frowned, covered his forehead and said weakly, "The situation is not optimistic, but now it is even more troublesome!"
The so-called projection anthropomorphism is a kind of abnormal anthropomorphic magic.
In the past, there were some magicians who specialized in mimetic magic and classified it from a different perspective, and they did not divide mimetic magic into two categories: "Anthropomorphic" and "Enchantment", but classified it into "Normal Anthropomorphic" and "Projective Anthropomorphic".
The [normal anthropomorphism] here refers to the popular magic including [ordinary anthropomorphism] and [enchantment anthropomorphism], which is used by almost all magicians in the world, but the latter item, many magicians may not even have heard of the name.
In the anthropomorphic magic used in the world, there are usually two forms, one is the anthropomorphism used by Jiang Zhe today, which is a very simple anthropomorphic means, as long as the bytes representing the bear are added to the anthropomorphic spell, you can make the flame form of the bear, and if you want to make the fire bear spray flames, Or spray fireballs or the like, then you can do it by adding a spell byte of the magic to the anthropomorphic spell, and this belongs to the category of enchantment anthropomorphism, but whether it is anthropomorphic or enchantment, the fire bear formed is not a bear creature in the usual sense, at best it is just a shell formed by fire, and there is no wisdom at all.
[Projection Anthropomorphism] is different, it not only arranges the bytes representing a certain creature into the spell, but adds the bytes representing the soul of a certain creature to the spell, in other words, the anthropomorphic beast summoned by this projection personification is not just a puppet-like puppet, but a puppet that imprisons the soul.
That is to say, the ice crystal phoenix imprisons the soul of a relatively powerful bird in life, maybe in some way its soul is summoned here from the realm of death in a similar way to projection, or maybe it is completely imprisoned its soul, used as a means to enhance this anthropomorphic magic, but in any case, this is a relatively evil magic, because this kind of anthropomorphic beast is different from the usual anthropomorphic beast, if they are traumatized, although they may not be visible on the outside, but their souls will be harmed, if the injury is more serious, it will directly affect the soul, or even be completely erased。
As a result, this type of anthropomorphism was not universally accepted by magicians, nor was it included in the textbooks of the Imperial Academy of Magic.
"Projection anthropomorphism...... After hearing Bernie's explanation, Lavia sighed slightly, and looked at the ice crystal phoenix that was fighting with the flame giant bear with a somewhat unbearable expression, this kind of evil magic, she couldn't stand it when she implemented justice, sighed lightly, and he whispered, "Soth, although it is a bird, but ...... Let that sad soul be free!"
"You said that the ground is light!" Jiang Zhe said angrily.
After hearing Jiang Zhe's words, everyone who had been listening intently to Bernie's explanation found that beads of sweat gradually oozed from Jiang Zhe's forehead, and they immediately raised their heads, but they were stunned to find that a small part of the body of the flame giant bear had been frozen since then.
"Whew!" the Ice Crystal Phoenix's mouth spewed frost from time to time, on the contrary, the Flame Giant Bear's bulky movements couldn't keep up with the other party's speed at all.
In the following ten minutes, everyone watched as the huge fire bear was frozen little by little, and finally turned into a huge ice sculpture, and the ice crystal phoenix, except for the scratches it received at the beginning, did not receive any more damage, and flew in front of everyone, fluttering huge wings, and fanning out one cold and biting cold wind after another.
Looking at the huge ice bird in front of her, Lisa looked at Jiang Zhe and said in a trilled voice, "Okay...... It's cold...... Soth ......"
Like Lisa, after losing the protection of the flaming giant bear that had become an ice sculpture, everyone present felt this deadly cold.
"Soth?" Dia looked at Jiang Zhe worriedly, but saw that Jiang Zhe was sweating profusely, it was very abnormal to sweat so much in such a cold place, in other words, he had consumed a lot of magic power in the competition between fire and frost just now.
Glancing at Jiang Zhe, Lavia put down the hand covering the wound and recited the incantation in a low voice, but her spiritual power and affinity for the fire element were obviously not as good as Jiang Zhe, and in this room that was already full of ice elements, there was not even a possibility of using a trace of fire.
"It's over...... Bernie shook his head with a wry smile, he could tell that the boy who had pinned his hopes had run out of magic and couldn't delay any longer.
"Well done, little ghost!" Bernie tried to make the children see the ease on his face as much as possible, but he failed, after all, the human fear of death has never gone away.
"Amos is surprised to be able to support it for so long," shaking his head slightly, the lich Hallewell raised his right hand and chanted, "O undead from the Bitter Lands, summon you, my servant, in the name of my Amos Hallewell, to kill all humans!"
As he chanted, a huge pentagram magic array appeared on the floor of the library again, and an endless array of frost skeletons appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.
"Amos said...... If you want to struggle, then struggle......!
Rather than having the giant ice crystal phoenix deal with the humans in front of him in an instant, the lich Amos Hallewell seems to be more inclined to let the relatively weak frost skeletons kill their opponents, watching them struggle and eventually not escape the fate of death, and being killed by the frost skeletons one by one, how wonderful it is, for the lich Hallewell, this is the best way to pour out his anger.
"Keep struggling, human...... If you refuse Amos's kindness, then Amos will let you die in the most painful way possible!"
"What a joke, bastard!" Gritting his teeth, Alan raised his knight's sword and said loudly, "Have you forgotten that Lord Ben exists?"
......Faintly, the soul of the lich Hallewell seemed to fluctuate, and then, with intense anger, he shouted, "Kill him!"
Immediately, the surrounding frost skeletons swooped up, and after seeing this scene, Scott frowned and said, "You idiot, do you have to provoke him?"
"Do you still want to beg him?" Alan with the knight's sword gently stroked Lisa's hair, then patted Canso's back and whispered, "Up, buddy!"
"Woo!" As if understanding his master's words, Canso nodded, and moved with heavy steps towards the Frost Skeleton not far away.
"Alan?" Scott shouted with a frown.
Stopping, Alan took the knight's sword and looked back at his companions behind him, especially as if he understood something, there were a few crystalline traces of Lisa in the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Why do you look like you are crying and sad, and stay behind me well!" As he spoke, he glanced at the frost skeleton not far away, and with a rare serious expression, he whispered, "Humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, mercy, spirituality, honesty, justice...... On the battlefield, it is a great honor for a knight to lead his companions to victory and do his best to protect the safety of his companions behind him, and the highest honor is to be the first to rush to the enemy when the team is facing the most critical life and death...... Ice, frost skeleton after frost skeleton after skull was destroyed by him, pushing up a thin layer of broken bones on the ground.
"Stupid guy with little tendons!" Shaking his head helplessly, Scott pushed his glasses and said to the knight puppet Knight beside him, "That handsome guy won't last long—we'll do it too!"
Knight nodded heavily, then glanced at his pitted shield, dropped it to the ground, and guarded Scott with a spear in both hands.
"Scott......" looked at the boy in the distance and sighed slightly, Larella glanced at Lisa, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered, "Don't worry, they will protect, but ...... We have to do what we can, Lisa!"
"Hmm!" Lisa nodded, as if forgetting the cold for a moment, and muttered the incantation in a low voice, only to hear three thuds, and three clouds of smoke appeared in front of her, and three white baboon-like beasts sprang out of the smoke.
Glancing at Lisa, Lavia said to the queen puppet Quin beside her, "Leave me alone, go help them!"
It could be seen that Quinn's expression was a little hesitant.
"Quinn!" Lavia scolded, in a low voice.
Kun Yin hesitated for a moment, but finally could not resist the majesty of his master and chose to join the battle.
"You go too!" Lavia said to the soldier Sojeth in a command-like tone.
Sojes glanced at Jiang Zhe hesitantly, and finally mustered up the courage to rush forward, although with his strength, he might not be able to help much.
"What an amazing boy!" Reed, who had been reticent, whispered to Bernie, "I have a hunch that if they make it out of here alive, they will all be great people!"
"yes," Bernie said with a smile and a little lightheartedness, "Reed, we don't want to be beaten by these imps, we're the national magicians of the Garik Magic Guild branch!"
"Hmm!" Reed nodded solemnly, and then, he glanced at Jiang Zhe, saw him half-squatting on the ground with his forehead covered, and asked, "Is he okay?"
"...... Soth" squatted down, took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the cold sweat from Jiang Zhe's forehead, Dia held the hand of the boy in front of her, and whispered, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Zhe took a deep breath, shook his head, frowned, and said, "I'm fine, it's just the sequelae of running out of magic just now...... That ice crystal phoenix is more difficult than I thought......"
"It's okay......" Smiled gently, Dia leaned her head slightly on Jiang Zhe's shoulder, and whispered, "You have done your best, don't force yourself, the strength of the lich is not something we can deal with......"
Turning his head to look at Dia, especially the indifferent smile on her face, this couldn't help but make Jiang Zhe feel a little bitter.
"Dia is right, you don't need to be harsh on yourself!" Walking to Jiang Zhe's side, Lavia covered her injured arm and said lightly, "No one, including me, will complain about you!" As she spoke, she pointed to the people who were fighting, and said softly in a rare gentle tone, "Don't you believe me, Soth?"
Glancing deeply at Lavia, and then at Dia, Jiang Zhe slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "I'll try again!" As he spoke, he once again gathered what little magic power he had left, but when he ran out of magic power, he couldn't cast even a single fireball.
"Don't force yourself, when you run out of mana, forcibly condensing mana is very likely to cause mana backlash ......"
"So what!" Seeing the others fighting, Jiang Zhe, who once again felt powerless, continued to condense his magic power, but no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for the depleted mana to recover in such a short period of time, even if his recovery power was dozens of times faster than ordinary people.
Damn it!
His heart became agitated.
At this moment, due to his agitation, he once again felt the cold breath gushing from the back of his left hand...... As if remembering something, Jiang Zhe subconsciously raised his left hand, took off his gloves, and looked at the magic array on the back of his hand in a daze.
'Don't doubt it, kid, it's a very special seal, but it won't do you any harm, on the contrary, it will help you learn magic better......
'Yo, little ghost, I can feel a powerful dark force within you!'
Faintly, Jiang Zhe seemed to recall the words of Father Andrew and Argus.
Seal...... Dark Forces...... He calmed down, closed his eyes, and used his spiritual power to perceive this strange magic array, and then, his expression changed slightly, because he could feel that the magic array on the back of his hand was continuously oozing a trace of strange dark aura, very subtle, but very clear under the perception of spiritual power.
Is it really a seal...... Under the strange gaze of Lavia and Dia, Jiang Zhe squatted down, picked up a palm-sized piece of crushed ice from the ground, and then poked at the magic array on the back of his hand...... "Soth?" Lavia and Dia let out an exclamation in disbelief.
The milky white six-pointed star magic array was gradually covered by the blood gushing out, and more importantly, because of the wound, this magic array was missing a large piece...... "Whew!" Like a violent storm, a rich dark power instantly gushed out from Jiang Zhe's body, it was deep and pure darkness, with a magic power that devoured people's hearts.
"Bear!Bear!" An unknown black flame burned on the back of his left hand, and the wound on the back of his hand healed super quickly at a speed that was clearly visible to the naked eye, but the six-pointed star magic array did not heal because of this...... In Dia's incredible gaze, the boy's dark golden hair gradually turned jet black, and in the deep black, it seemed to have a hint of gray, on the contrary, his dark eyes faintly revealed a little dark golden color.
"...... Soth" felt the more rapid oppressive force from the boy, and Lavia quietly pulled Dia back a few steps, because the feeling that the boy now brought her was very dangerous.
"Suo...... Soth?" Dia, who was pulled back by Lavia, stared at the boy in front of her with wide eyes, she felt that the boy at this time was so strange.
"Click, click!" With the sound of ice cracking, the flame bear burned violently again, but the difference was that this time the flame was black...... "What's going on?" Alan and Scott, who realized that something was wrong, raised their heads and looked at the huge dark bear dumbfounded, after all, they didn't know about it.
Recovering from his shock, Scott, who felt inexplicable at the appearance of the dark giant bear, subconsciously turned his head, only to find that Jiang Zhe's puppet and soldier Sojeth had stopped all his movements in a pile of frost skeletons, as if he was stunned.
"Sojas?!" Scott shouted.
As soon as his words fell, when those frost skeletons swarmed at Sojath to tear him apart, Sojas's eyes seemed to become distracted and dull, and then, a rich dark aura also gushed out from his body, and endless darkness enveloped Sojas's body for a while, rolling up all the frost skeletons nearby and slamming them on the ground.
And when the dark aura like a storm passed, Scott found that Sogers, who was not far away in front of him, suddenly changed his form - Sojas, who was originally dressed as a mercenary, when he appeared from the endless dark aura again, he actually changed into a set of heavy and gorgeous silver-gray armor, wearing a sharp-horned helmet that only showed two eyes, There was a black cloak under the steel shoulder armor, and the armor on his body was more gorgeous than the armor on Knight Knight, and the steel heavy sword in his hand was larger than the knight's sword in your Alan's hand, and there was still the slightest trace of the original depraved form.
"Sojess?" Alan rubbed his eyes, a little incredulous of what he was seeing.
"Sojes, who is that? my name is Kane!" a deep voice came from the silver-gray armor.
Chess Puppet, [King--Kane]!
