Chapter 12: The Fierce Battle of the Ascended (1)
"It seems that you half-human, half-beast combat effectiveness is not very good." The strong man with two beards dodged an attack and winked at him.
This, along with the darkness in his spirit, provoked Barukham's anger, and he roared and cast another spell attack on Sejax, but was easily dodged by the other party.
Then a magically infused arrow plunged into his shoulder blade.
The battle was extremely frustrating, and at first he tried to use ranged magic to kill his enemy, but the other party saw his intentions and quickly approached him.
The end of the melee between the mage and the warrior can be imagined, Baruchem was suppressed by the death in the battle, his chanting was mostly interrupted, and the instantaneous magic was not enough to solve the battle.
Baruchem wasn't a natural warrior like Renekton, Aatrox, or a general like Nasus.
His combat experience was rather scarce.
The only few battles in his life were when he was a mortal on a campaign against Acacia, and he had never fought a battle since his ascension.
In fact, he is a scientist among the ascendants, a qualified assistant at best.
The battle-hardened Kouari Guard used their combat experience to stand up to the Ascended.
A charged attack from Sejax wounded him - he was wounded for the first time, wounded by mortals.
The deep-charged massive bronze battle axe slashed at his shoulder blades.
And his spirit was severely damaged by the void, and he didn't have time to channel the protective magic, so he could only watch one of his arms be scrapped.
Awakened to the intense pain and realizing what was wrong, Baruchem took a deep breath of the blazing desert air, preparing to bombard the battlefield with instantaneous magic at a distance.
But the other party had already discovered that his combat experience was quite lacking in a short encounter, and he also sensed that something was wrong with him, so he stuck to him like a dog's skin plaster, and did not let him distance himself.
As a result, Baruchem had to use instantaneous, or channel-short-lived, magic to engage the Kauali in hand-to-hand combat.
However, the enemy mage constantly interferes with his casting.
In normal times, a mortal mage would not be able to interfere with him no matter what, just as an ant would not be able to push an elephant even a little harder.
But the Void's corruption disrupted the flow of magic within him, and the combination of the two was enough to deflect the magic trajectory, and most of his attacks missed.
Especially the brawny man who had taken off his arm, Baruchem swore he had never met someone in his life who was so well positioned - his magic that had tried his best to correct his trajectory could not hit Sejax once.
After some time at war......
The bronze battle axe slashed through the air again, piercing his magical shield and inflicting a new wound on the Ascendant, and shimmering blood dripping down the sand, burning the sand to glass.
Taking advantage of the Ascension's pain, Coughlin leaped high and slashed a branch from the antlers.
Lan Yu stared intently at the battlefield, for fear of missing a single detail.
His dark eyes rippled with inky black again, and the power of entropy activated.
The "negative entropy field" slowly looms over Sejax, on the one hand, buffing the weapon master, reducing his physical strength and energy consumption.
On the other hand, the beneficiary's attack will steal order for him.
The Ascendant is derived from the Astral Dragon, Aurelian. Thor's star power will be at his disposal.
As the wound spread, the Ascendant heard his own heartbeat and felt the corrupting power of darkness spreading through him at an accelerated pace.
He can't go on any longer!
Ignoring his injuries, Baruchem forcibly used the power of ascension, allowing the anger of the sea of sand to flow into his body. Intricate patterns of magic lit up on the surface of the body—though some of the veins had turned purple-black, giving off a rancid smell.
Endless magical energy enveloped the sun-scorched grains of sand and swept them into the whirlpool of magic that swirled around Barukham, forming a raging storm.
The high-speed movement of sand is like a grinding wheel, slowly peeling away the flesh of those who are swept away, and the raging magical energy will scorch the flesh and blood.
The scorching sun of the desert poured power into his limbs, and the flames burning in the golden eyes of the Ascendant suddenly soared, making it impossible to look at directly.
His body began to swell and was soon lifted to five meters. His massive body compensated for Barukham's relatively weak strength, and he was now able to use his physical strength and weapon master to combat in close combat.
Even so, the Ascended as a mage is reluctant to engage in close combat. With the help of the lift of the storm beside him, Barukham's massive body was lifted into the air by the floating magic.
The situation was reversed in an instant, he could condescendingly use magic to bombard the battlefield, but Sejax could not attack him, so he could only stand up.
This is the ascended form of the Ascended One, the ultimate wield of the power of the sun.
Of course, with Barukham's current state, there was a price to be paid for doing so, and after using all his strength to fight, the Void had completely lost its suppression and was accelerating the erosion of the Ascendant's body and spirit, as evidenced by the black sores that had spread on his body.
He must end the battle as soon as possible, and then mobilize his forces to suppress the spread of the Void, or the consequences will be unimaginable.
The five people who witnessed everything were shocked.
Despite knowing the backstory, the power of the Ascended still caused a stir in their hearts, and everyone couldn't help but wonder if such an existence could really be killed by mortals.
The Kouali had already prepared, and when they saw the Ascendant uncover their hole cards, they also used their own means to press the bottom of the box.
Coughlin took out a miniature crystal ball engraved with ancient magic from his backpack and smashed it on the ground.
"Whoa!"
The debris was scattered all over the place, and an ethereal white light rose from it, converging on the Kauali people.
The spell buff and the negative entropy field buff were added, and the Sejax Seven floated like feathers.
"Little deer, you're not the only one who can fly." Sejax scoffed.
The Ascendant didn't answer, he raised his staff and began to direct the magic, only to see the magic lines on the deer's body glow red, wisps of magical energy like blood flowing through the veins, and the red light churned at the tip of the wand, turning into incandescent fireballs.
The next moment, the incandescent fireball came out of his hand and struck Sejax.
Sejax naturally wouldn't sit still, and the cyan energy condensed on the huge bronze axe blade.
The Master of Weapons swung his battle axe, and a wave of energy struck the fireball, successfully deflecting it.
However, the Ascendant's staff made a mysterious trajectory, and the incandescent fireball immediately split into six orange-red fireballs and struck at Sejax's six teammates.
Coollin just like that, he exploded a fireball.
The two magicians cast a spell together and deflected two fireballs,
One man's arrow narrowly dodged, and the fireball exploded on the mountain wall, and the valley shuddered, and the vegetation poured down with clods of earth and rubble.
The other unlucky martial artist didn't dodge, and the fireball exploded in his face, and he immediately turned into a ball of charcoal and fell headlong.
After being injured like this, he fell from a high altitude into a rocky valley, and obviously did not live.
The Ascendant watched as two deflected fireballs came towards him, chanted a spell, and the fireballs flew backwards around him.
It just so happened that a fireball flew towards the grass where the reincarnators were.
"Oh no, the fireball is coming at us". The crowd who were squatting in the grass was shocked.
"Lie down!" Blue Feather let out a low snort.
"Boom!" Fireballs exploded on the hillside behind them, a deafening explosion that rattled everyone's ears
The explosion almost blew everyone away, and the grass stalks and dust stained them.
Fortunately, the Ascended didn't notice them.
The crowd spat out the dirt they had gnawed into their mouths as they lay down, and raised their heads to continue to observe the battle intently.
Sejax and the others did not have time to mourn their dead comrades, and they launched a new attack on Barukham.
A wave of golden qi surged from Sejax's body, forming a shield.
The power of the Grandmaster!
Protected by the strength of the Protector, the Master of Weapons laughed and rushed into the storm surrounding the Ascendant.
