Chapter 18: Unexpected Clues
The wave of air cleared, revealing behind him an old man in brown robes, followed by a stout swordsman covered in rust-colored armor. The large cross-sword that the swordsman held in both hands was longer than Variki's height.
"Will, you've been following behind, no, you've been waiting here for a long time" Variki said a little nervously, the armor of the swordsman behind Vir was too heavy, and it was impossible for him not to know if he had been following behind, and the old guy had just advanced to the middle rank, although it was only level four, but it still opened a gap with him
"I've been waiting for you for a long time on the side of the secret passage, Variki, and I've been personally involved in the excavation of this path, and I'm much more familiar with it than you. Will glanced at him, then said to the burqa-man behind Wariki, "Now that the family council has concluded that the masterminds are Wariki, Linda and Marat, and leave the family's property, you can leave." ”
The burqa-men looked at each other for a moment, but their expressions were not visible under the hood. One of them said gloomily, "I still believe in myself than in the family council." ”
"Good. Will said succinctly, "Terry, you go deal with them" He pointed at the burqa, and the swordsman behind him leaped forward with agility that did not match his size at all.
At the moment when the swordsman leaped out, Wariki, Linda and Marat attacked Will. Dark green fireballs shot out of Wariki and Linda like beads, and Marat lurked on the sidelines. Vel's body condensed with floating dark black shards, constantly blocking those dark green fireballs, and the fireballs bombarded the dark black shards and sent out a rushing and scorching heat wave with a pungent smell, but only a little disintegrating the shards at a time.
The Abyss Demon Breaker Barrier is a fairly advanced instinctive defensive spell, and it is clear that Vir has not yet been able to fully activate it into a barrier, at most as a floating fragment to defend against.
"The battle of the bloodline warlock is really monotonous and rough, and in the face of this kind of indiscriminate bombardment, there is really no good way to deal with it, from this point of view, the warlock is much stronger than the mage, and it is difficult for the mage to eliminate the casting buffer of a certain magic in their own specialized faction. "Heras watched the battle from the top silently, and as soon as the portal opened, he slipped in, and he didn't want to get involved in the internal disputes of the Bille family.
The spell casting buffer is the interference of the mental power after the spell configuration is activated, and it is generally limited to the same faction, and the mages are difficult to activate any spell configuration of the faction again in a short period of time after activating a certain spell configuration, unless the mage specializes in a certain magic and spends a lot of money to eliminate the spell's casting buffer. For example, the Marquis de Leoland not only did it cost him a lot of money to remove the spell casting buffer of the "Andus Flicker", but it also reduced the magic power of his non-specialization faction a lot. And since the space faction doesn't have any powerful attack spells, the Marquis's attack power is a bit insufficient.
Therefore, mages generally can't attack without interruption like bloodline warlocks, even if they don't consider the limit of soul strength, even if they can engrave the attack magic of the same level of all factions on the soul, after pouring out in an instant, all factions will be in a buffer state, so they can only wait to die.
Now Veil didn't have much of a way to deal with the endless bombardment of the two third-level bloodline warlocks, and he had to be wary of Marat's sneak attacks from time to time in the dark. However, he is also a bloodline warlock, and there is no casting buffer for releasing the Abyss Demon Breaker Barrier, so it is quite easy for him to defend against these attacks. But the short-distance portal will soon open, and if they slip through the portal a few times, the mission that the clan has delivered itself will basically fail.
He looked at the rest of the burqamen, Terry was a third-level bloodline knight, still a low-rank, and there was no rank suppression for those who were at most second-level robes. Therefore, it was a bit laborious to support under the siege of several people. Will took out an encrypted parchment paper from his bosom and threw it at the burqa people, Linda, who felt bad, immediately turned it into ashes with a fireball, but with a flash of light, a middle-aged voice with a cold meaning came from inside: "I promise in the name of the member of the family council that for the betrayer who is not the mastermind, as long as the family property is left behind, I will not be guilty of the past!"
This voice was very familiar to everyone present except for Heras, and the burq-robes who besieged Terry suddenly hesitated for a moment. Before Will could speak, one of the burqed men unleashed a fire barrier on Marat, forcing the thieves out of the shadows, and he turned to attack the other burqamen.
"Calais, do you think the family will really forgive you!?" One of the burqa men was caught off guard by Calais's defection, and his right hand was blown off, and he roared at Calais in anger and horror.
"Very well, Calais, the family will remember your contributions!" Veer shouted, "Terry, go destroy the portal!
As the burq-robes besieging Terry were thrown into disarray due to Calais's defection, the swordsman quickly broke free of the encirclement and ran towards the decagram teleportation array.
Just as he was wielding the big cross sword and preparing to give a blow to the ball of light that was about to open in the center, he found that there was a sand lizard lying not far below the ball of light, as a person who has lived in the quicksand empire since he was a child, he had never seen such a strange sand lizard, its head was too big, as big as a human head, and the flickering big lizard eyes looked a little strangely cute
Although Terry felt strange in his heart, he did not stop the sword that had been gathering for a long time, and was about to cut the recondensed teleportation ball in half along with the strange lizard. It suddenly giggled and spoke, "Hey, you can't move this portal."
"Caster of spells!" As soon as an alarm rose in Terry's heart, he felt that his whole body was so stiff that he couldn't even move a finger, and the extreme cold almost stopped his heart from beating! A third-level bloodline knight was plotted by a middle-level mage, and he almost fell into a mortal situation.
Will was the first to notice the change, but he only had time to glance at Terry, who was gradually covered in frost, and a violent roar appeared in his head, as if he had been hit with a heavy hammer. Soul Blast! It was still cast by a mid-level mage! The mentally discouraged Will could no longer maintain the Abyssal Demon Breaking Barrier, and was hit hard by several dark green fireballs, and the thief Mara also took the opportunity to leave a deep wound on his neck.
The burning green flame of Vir tumbled and fell backwards, but his vitality was quite tenacious, and after getting rid of the negative mental state of the soul shock, he immediately re-unleashed the Demon Breaking Barrier. This time, however, the barrier shattered into smaller fragments, and about half of them were missing, and it was clear that he had been wounded.
He stared at Terry as he turned into an ice sculpture, and then a large red fireball blasted Terry into a splash of ice, and Heras stepped out from behind the scattered splintered ice and straightened his monocle.
"Don't move, at least don't move until the portal is formed, and you can continue when I'm over," Heras said briskly. Then, he casually planted a fourth-level defensive magic around the teleportation array, the Whirlwind Guardian. His undead faction's magic was buffered by the soul blast cast, but Vir was badly injured and no one else posed a threat to him.
The field was silent for a few seconds, as if the air was stagnant, and Variki felt that fate was too hateful, not only did the family be aware of their smuggling plan, but also made him be followed by a mid-level mage, rubbed his stiff cheeks, and saluted Heras: "Thank you for breaking the siege, respected mage, you can go over first, we will help you keep an eye on that old fellow." As he spoke, he glared at Will, who was still smoking.
Variki wasn't stupid, and he feared that if he behaved even the slightest, the mage might kill them with Will. When the time comes, Veil completes the quest and the mage gets the portal, the best of both worlds
Heras nodded, he was satisfied with Wariki's knowledge of the times, he really only wanted to go to the United States of Commerce through the road, and he had no interest in the disputes of the Polarians, and he didn't want to get into those troubles.
Seeing Heras's reaction, Variki breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the mage was not interested in the property he had stolen from his family
Since Heras stood still, the rest of the people did not make any unnecessary movements, for fear of irritating his "sand lizard", and after a while, the portal emitted a noisy space distortion noise, and the green ball of light expanded into an elliptical halo, from which the scenery on the opposite side could be faintly seen, and some sparse desert thorn trees could be seen, but some green lawns could be seen between the thorn trees, and it seemed that there was a wall of wind and sand next to the United States.
As she was about to stride into the portal, Heras suddenly noticed the limp female elf writhing and struggling, and from the inside of the leather armor untied from her chest, Heras was keenly aware of a magical mark that marked Alannia, which he had seen in the anecdote
=============================================================
PS: Here's a difference in terms of terminology
Bloodline Warlocks: I use "release" spells, because they don't have a casting process, they just activate the bloodline instinct. Only casters such as mages and druids use "cast"
