Chapter 127: Makabuda 22
"I don't want to be involved in your plans anymore, I can't continue to be wrong. Manna replied, "You asked me to kiss little Maxim, from head to toe, and I did." You asked me to change his antifreeze ointment, and I did. When he had to go back to the south with chilblains, you told me that he could save his life, and I foolishly believed it. I liked him, but I had a low status and could only be his mistress at best. But he will not have a grudge for a woman who has killed even her companions—I will not do as you say. ”
After saying that, she bent her bow and shot arrows, and the feathered arrows were accurately shot at the dwarf. But an invisible barrier blocked the feathered arrow, bouncing it away. The dwarf smiled and continued to move slowly, constantly exerting threats and pressure on the two of them. He said, "Don't you kill anyone, didn't you always want the old earl to return to heaven as soon as possible, and said that it was all because he would never agree to you being with his son anyway?"
"No, I didn't want to kill, I thought you were sympathizing with me and helping me. Mana's tears flowed as she shot arrow after arrow at the gnomes, but in vain. Fezak raised his hand and slapped Mana to her senses, and at the same time said, "Run, silly girl, run for your life." My feet are gone, I can't walk. But you're much faster than this short-legged dwarf. Run!"
"No one has to run, because no one can run. The dwarf said. His dagger glittered, and the fire elemental gathered above it, forming a dangerous vortex. Gelbo looked at his spell proudly, imagining the two of them being charred by the flames.
But then he saw a figure come out from behind Fezak, a young human, probably no more than twenty years old, with strange black hair and black eyes. He also dragged a ridiculous cloak, not knowing what the purpose of the long cloth was in battle.
"You're right, no one has to run. Siegel said, "As long as this stupid dwarf is made flattened, what are you going to run?"
Dwarves hate being called taller but like to be praised for being "thicker", and gnomes like to be praised for being smarter, but hate being called short. Siegel had dealt with many gnomes, and was friends with one or two of them, so he naturally knew the characteristics of this race. As soon as he spoke, he angered the gnome, who immediately invoked a spell that transformed the dagger's fire elemental vortex into a scorching ray and shot it at Siegel.
Siegel can also use this spell, and is faster and stronger than a gnome. The scorching rays of the two sides collided in the air and then annihilated each other. A warm wind blew, the last vestiges of the two spells in the world.
The dwarf's fingernails clasped the long handle of the dagger, and he raised the head in his other hand and recited a spell. Several small, red-skinned, humanoid monsters crawled out of the dirt with long tails, their knees bent backwards like birds, their long, thin limbs, and their sharp claws. These inferior demons from Hell are very rudimentary summons for the caster, simple to control and easy to gain a numerical advantage. Such monsters look terrifying, but there is not much difference in their combat ability and the recruits who have just finished training. Bad spirits will rush at the creatures they encounter like a tidal wave, and try to tear them apart with their claws.
Siegel smiled slightly, not at all worried, because there were still his allies lurking in the sea. At his command, the giant squid burst out from under the water beside the embankment and swept through the group of demons with its thick tentacles. This sheer weight alone is enough to crush tiny devils into pieces, not to mention the squid's ability to coil and tear. With just one face, most of the inferior demons were knocked into ashes and returned to the hell plane. However, the squid also twisted its tentacles painfully - Siegel made it more powerful while causing its defenses to weaken, and the inferior demon counterattacked quickly and fiercely, slicing off three long tentacles. Siegel only glanced at it and stopped caring, because in his calculations, the two sides would form a momentum of exchange, and the inferior demon would certainly die cleanly, but the squid would also lose the ability to continue fighting, and there was only one way to dissipate.
Receiving reinforcements, Manna regained her confidence, and the burning pain on her face did not affect her focus on archery at all. Although she knew that she might not achieve anything, she believed that she could at least distract the other party. The bowstring snapped and the feathered arrows flew, but this time they didn't crash into some invisible barrier, but went straight through the dwarf's body. Under the shooter's astonished gaze, the "dwarf Gelbao" shook and disappeared like a mirage.
Every dwarf is an illusionist—someone once said it—and their greatest ability is to make it impossible to tell they're performing an illusion. Siegel immediately turned on the psionic vision, only to feel that everything in front of him was white, and there were reactions of magical aura everywhere. The gnome overlays the object with an illusion, which is used to hide its actual location and interfere with the opponent's magic detection. It's like hiding a handful of powdered salt, and the best way is to throw it in a pile of salt, and no one can tell if you keep it.
Concealing one's body with illusion has many advantages over simple invisibility, starting with the difficulty of judging the approximate location with the ability to detect magic. Moreover, invisibility will be manifested with attacks or other spells, and can create illusions except when it is necessary to change the scene, and there is basically no need for the caster to worry about it.
Siegel can also use illusions, but he will never be foolish enough to compete with a dwarf illusionist. Since you can't find it with psionic vision, let's do it another way. The mage chanted a spell and used the locating creatures of blood magic. This is a low-level version of Biolocation Surgery, which can only determine the location of creatures with warm blood, limited to 20 meters. The gnome was hiding farther than that, and Siegel still couldn't find it.
"Guess where I am, nasty ghost?" the gnome's voice came from all directions, and Siegel knew it was the effect of the illusion, deliberately confusing the auditory. "In which direction will the deadly attack come from, are you afraid, are you afraid?"
No matter how provocative the gnome was, Siegel was unmoved. There is no more nervousness, no haste and no anger, and no reckless attack out of anger. He was on guard, clenching his wand tightly, keeping an eye out for the fluctuations of magical energy around him.
An acid mist suddenly filled the air, and both metal and masonry began to melt in the acid mist. Siegel immediately responded, summoning the help of the qi elemental and borrowing the wind to blow the acid mist away. I saw that the boxes, baskets and goods along the way were all shattered under the invasion of the pervasive acid mist.
Due to the widespread changes, the gnome's visions began to falter, and he had to increase his magic output to barely stay afloat. Siegel felt the fluctuation of energy and thought, 'There is going to be a coming'. He jerked his arms forward, and a blinding light flashed like a mischievous child using his lenses to shine the light of the scorching sun into his eyes. Then a flash of dust scattered at the bright flashpoint, falling onto the gnome, revealing his silhouette. It would be difficult for the gnome to continue to hide until the glitter dust was cleared, so he simply dismantled the illusion and focused on casting offensive spells.
Two green rays burst out between his middle and index fingers, and if hit, he would have to cut off part of his flesh. However, this ray spell poses little threat to Siegel, especially if he can move freely. The brisk pace of the elven martial arts allows Siegel to move quickly in a very small range. Although he can't use his weapon to get out of the way with an arrow, he can dodge his weapon's path by rolling in time.
Siegel chanted a mantra and fired a projectile of energy at the gnome. However, a shield blocked the spell, which instead attracted a counterattack from the gnomes. He first casts a speed-increasing spell on himself, and his pet dog also enjoys the effects of this spell. The vicious dog pounced on it, but was attacked by a raven. With its ability to fly, the raven skimmed over the dog's head again and again, tearing off the hair with its claws. Baron also attempted to attack with a flamespout, but was dodged by the Hound using his speed advantage.
The gnome's spell followed, and Siegel knew it was going to be an enchantment spell that affected his mind and mood by looking at his casting gesture and feeling the energy fluctuations around him, but which one needed to be judged further. It seems that the people of the Knox Guild are very fond of using enchantment spells, whether it's modifying memories or seducing others. Siegel quickly came up with a countermeasure in his mind, and he decided to establish battlefield superiority as soon as possible.
He commanded the dice to transform himself into a skeleton form while letting the power of lightning leap in front of him. He did his best to compress the lightning energy, and a crackling sound came out of thin air. The wand kept drawing circles in the air, like a twisted turntable. Bright lightning bolts obscured his face, and the gnomes were unaware of the fact that he had turned into a skeleton - no one would have thought that a young mage would have such abilities.
"Listen to me, you are serving me, the orcs are the real enemy, you should go to the temple of the beastmaster and fight to the death with the Great Witch Sacrifice. "The gnome casts a suggestion spell in an attempt to implant this message into Siegel's brain. But the spell passed through the empty skull without even a hint of wind.
With a push of both hands, Siegel launched the lightning beam. With a bright light, the entire battlefield was illuminated as bright as day. A surging thunderbolt engulfed the dwarf figure, and then a loud rumbling sound was heard.
The tremendous energy carried by the electric current rushed straight into the gnome's face, and the hair, skin, and muscles seemed to be lifted by red-hot iron tongs, and even some bones were exposed. The dwarf roared loudly in pain, and it was all the roar of an animal. As the lightning flew out, Siegel rushed forward. He was relatively far away from the gnome, but the crazy big dog was not far away.
Hearing footsteps behind him, the hound was tempted to turn around, but Raven took the opportunity to scratch two more scars on his nose. The nimble blackbird was fast and hard, and although some of its feathers had been torn off by its teeth, it showed no signs of bleeding at all. The hound let out a low, purr-like growl, twisted its waist and bit back. By this time, Siegel had already jumped in mid-air, and the war hammer was rounded, and he smashed it down with the force of the fall.
