Chapter 230: Attack and Defense of Mir City 5
A wall of fog poured up, forming a circle around the arena of the duel. The lords of the Southern Coalition were talking a lot, speculating that this must be a trick by the Squid Baron, but no one dared to easily disturb the progress of the duel.
"Let's wait and see," said Sir Brown, holding his arms and looking with great interest, "trust Viscount Felton, since he dares to accept the challenge, he must have his own way." ”
His words echoed the hearts of most people, but the necessary preparations still need to be made. Shield-wielding warriors and archers have begun to form a team in case their opponents sneak up on the fog. The siege weapons manufacturing camp was also on higher alert, with many knights wearing armor and leading squire soldiers on patrols.
Felton stretched out his palm, sending a burst of crimson flames. Siegel was prepared and rolled sideways to dodge. With lightning brewing in his hands, he struck back with great speed. Felton grinned eerily as he watched as lightning struck him.
Electric sparks flew in all directions, and a layer of scaly skin emitted a burnt smell and fell to the ground in flames. Felton's body swelled rapidly, his hands on the ground turned into front legs, and his thick hind limbs supported his enlarged body. His shoulders shook rapidly, splitting from his neck into seven snake-like heads, stretching out in an instant. Sharp teeth and dripping venom are clear signs of danger.
"Seven-headed lizard?" Siegel said with a laugh, "You're using this method against me?"
Felton didn't say anything, and immediately attacked. He craned his neck and bit at Siegel and launched a series of attacks. A mage who is proficient in shapeshifting, he also casts spells alongside his attacks, or attaches various elemental powers to his attacks. Or use protective spells to increase the strength of your body. Siegel hurried with elven steps. Left and right block. It was only with great difficulty that he avoided the first round of attacks.
The snake lizard took a step forward, flung its stout neck sideways, and the other heads sprang out. With so little room on the ground for Siegel to maneuver, he leaped to his feet and used his flying skills to increase his mobility.
"Think beautiful!" Felton cast a spell with three heads together, setting up a force field wall in the air. Siegel recognized the spell, but instead of stopping him from casting it, he gathered another spell in his hands.
It's anomalous. Felton was alarmed. He saw that his opponent was gathering the power of the fire element, most likely an attack spell like a fireball. He had long known that Lord Siegel was very good at all kinds of elemental magic, and Felton had prepared accordingly in advance.
He also began to mobilize the fire element, intending to counter the other party's magic. But again, to his surprise, Siegel did not choose to attack, but cast a fire shield on himself. How confident is he still trying to fight me in close quarters and close to me?
The Fire Shield protects the caster from most of the fire elemental damage, so Felton finds it pointless to use the elemental energy he gathers for attacks. He also wanted to cast a flame shield, but by this time Siegel had already swooped down with his sword aloft.
"How dare you!" Felton took a clumsy step back, leaving more room for his head to attack. Just bite each other with your fangs. Deadly venom is infused into it, making it difficult for even dragons to withstand the mixed effects of multiple toxins.
Just one bite. to win.
Siegel sped up and swung his sword sharply. Stardust glowed brightly and slashed at one of the snake's necks. The scales could not withstand the power of the long sword, and the effect of the sharp edge technique was even more prominent. Felton had a snake head cut off directly, and it fell to the dirt with a large amount of blood.
It's a skull that has been transformed by a spell that will soon dissipate completely, leaving no debris behind. Missing a head is not a fatal injury to the snake lizard, and it can still attack as usual.
"It's a lot easier on your neck," Siegel teased. When Felton tried to reply, he waved his wand with his left hand, creating a long rope of magic. The techniques of throwing and binding have not grown rusty with the passage of time, but have become more difficult to resist with the help of magic. Felton was in a hurry to attack, and the two snake heads were tied together, and they lost their flexibility all at once.
Siegel stepped forward quickly, then leaned down and flew against the ground, dodging the "heads" who tried to bite him, and Stardust picked up from the bottom up and slashed at the bound head.
Felton would not sit still, a layer of dirt and stone covered his body, forming a heavy armor. He believed that with such a defense being enough to withstand the opponent's sword, he would now only need a continuous attack to seize the victory.
But Star Dust is not so easy to resist. The moment Siegel saw the right technique, he twisted his wrist and turned the slash into a piercing, stabbing the tip of Stardust into the skin of the stone. When the sensation of cutting into the flesh was heard in his hand, he pulled horizontally with great force, and a huge gap was created, almost cutting off two-thirds of his entire neck.
"You madman! Die!" Felton roared, opening his bloody jaws and striking at Siegel from three directions, his long fangs trying to bite him out of countless holes in blood. Siegel straightened up, raising his wand in his hand to respond.
The first huge mouth bit into the mage's shield, and the protection formed by the force field continued to shake, forming a dazzling phantom.
The second mouth rushed from the other direction, and this time the force field shield could not stop it, and the flame shield emitted an astonishing light and heat, melting the sharp teeth and burning the snake's mouth. The two were entangled, and the snake's head, trembling with pain, set off a chaotic current, smashing on the ground with flames until the flames burned through his skull and emerged from its eye sockets.
The third mouth pressed against the ground and ran towards Siegel's lower body, hidden and sinister. With a wave of Siegel's wand, the ground heaved, and a massive rock made of magic emerged, blocking the serpent's head's path. Ignoring the enraged serpent's head, he lunged forward, smashing the stones to pieces. By this time, Siegel had already finished dodging and took the opportunity to cast a spell to increase his strength.
The muscles of his arms bulged high, instantly approaching the level of the giant Kerry, and the slashing power of the long sword was even more powerful. The head of the snake lizard that had come from the ground had not recovered from the impact before it was cut off again by the sword.
The seven-headed snake lizard became less than five. The power is greatly reduced. Felton continued to morph. Retracted the rest of his head. The body shrunk slightly, turning into a giant golden pheasant with two heads.
What kind of monster is this? Siegel has no idea at all. The claws look unusually sharp, and there seem to be slender claws hidden under the feathers of the wings, which need to be careful. The bulging skin pouch on the cockscomb may have stored venom, and the longsword is best avoided in that position, but as a bird, what does an oval mouth mean?
Siegel had a flash of inspiration and immediately used his wand to volley the dwarven rune "Quiet" in the air. Really. Felton opened his mouth, and the oval-shaped upper and lower jaws played a role in orientation and focus, and powerful sound waves enveloped Siegel.
The dwarven runes worked hard to neutralize the vibrations caused by the sound, eventually turning the confrontation into a clash of purely magical powers. Siegel needed to convert his spell into a dwarven rune, and Felton needed lungs strong enough to consistently use sonic attacks, and the two were evenly matched.
Soon, both men were unable to survive, and both were unscathed. As soon as the dwarven silent rune disappeared in the air, Siegel raised his hand, and five energy missiles flew towards the two-headed chicken snake beast.
A transparent shield blocks the energy missile. Five flashes erupted in front of Felton. The shield didn't move, and Felton sneered, "Is that how the missiles are used?"
He let out a loud cry. The wings curled up with a current, and five missiles shot at Siegel and rolled towards the middle. "Are you sure a missile can hit me?" Siegel's lips didn't move, but a voice came out. The missile hit accurately, but it was only a phantom, and Siegel's real body had already taken advantage of the flash to hide to the side.
Felton felt that the shape of the chicken's head was difficult to see around, so he instantly deformed and turned himself into a green clay monster. His jelly-like body was crystal clear, and there were many large and small open eyeballs floating in it. Some esoteric magic runes flickered between the eyeballs, constantly absorbing the elemental energy around them.
On the surface of his body, some bright red veins that resembled blood vessels jumped violently, pulsating with a terrifying light. This is Feltun's reliance on the mage: the Arcane Clayman. This strange creature is very rare, and Felton was able to gain knowledge of it with the help of Archmage Casper. Arcane Clay Monsters have a special affinity for magic, and can quickly absorb the elemental energy around them, destabilizing magical spells. Some speculate that this creature was specially created to deal with mage battles and can quickly gain an advantage in a magic duel.
The all-round vision allowed him to quickly spot Siegel, who was preparing to sneak attack with his sword in hand, and at the same time the wand in his hand emitted strange magical fluctuations. Felton was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of what kind of magic Siegel was working on, but he had a one-size-fits-all solution: rush up and wrap him up.
Like a flood flood that had flooded the levees, the mud monsters swooped down, forcing Siegel to retreat sharply. Comparing speed alone, Siegel was slightly faster, but he was already in the realm of the arcane clayform. The surrounding elemental energy was quickly absorbed, and the first to disappear was the flame shield, followed by the effects of the flying spell. These spells have all become very unstable, almost broken down into the most basic elemental powers.
But the spell on Siegel's wand was unaffected and began to glow steadily.
"This can't be!" Felton was shocked. Only a handful of mages were able to chant incantations under the auspices of arcane clay monsters, and all of them were at the pinnacle of spell control. How old was Siegel Squid, how could he have such attainments? There was a hint of jealousy in his heart, and he charged faster.
What if you use magic? Arcane Clay Monsters are immune to all elements and magic, and even fire and acid spells can enhance the Mudwalkers' abilities. As long as he casts magic, his speed will inevitably decrease. Soon, he won't be able to escape my package!
Felton was full of confidence and quickly stretched his body to block Siegel's retreat.
The Mage Lord's wand suddenly burst out with green light, and a sense of vastness from the void suddenly emerged. A vortex of plasma held the duelist in between them, and Nakuth's circle converted energy into pure impact, like the Golden Skull Warrior's mace, and slammed into Felton's body.
The Arcane Clay Monster was like a broken ball of water, splashing all over the sky. (To be continued......)
