Chapter 43: The Battle of the Magic Array

At night, the cracked and desolate land of the Darkfire Forest shone with the light of a bonfire. Groups of mercenaries sat together and chatted, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine and barbecue fat.

At this time, Leah was not far from the camp, with toast bread in her mouth, bending over to write and draw on the ground.

"Now, isn't Miss Leah coming for a drink?".

After a while, Dietrich came over with a bottle of wine and a sway.

"Drinking while using magic is a big no-no, Miss Dietrich. ”

Leah shook her head, she was drawing a magic circle. Although Lori took the advanced magic array subjects just so that she could have some classes with Isabella. But at this point, these techniques work in an unexpected way.

"Hey, hey, not at all? It's rare that tomorrow is the decisive battle. ”

Dietrich looked regretful.

"But if you drink...... It might cause a mistake in making the magic array explode, doesn't that matter?"

Leah asked rhetorically.

"Oops, forget it. ”

As a result, the werewolf sister realized that disturbing the Lori in front of her might cause some irreversible results.

And just like that, Dietrich went back, and Leah was left alone again in the night.

Of course, not all magic arrays will explode at every turn, but the one that little Lori is drawing at this time will just cause such a result.

The Burst Circle, if Leah were to say it, would be more appropriate to call it a magic mine. However, there are no mines on the continent of Evette, and the patterns that represent the ability to identify friend and foe in the explosion circle also make this skill a little more intelligent than mines.

During this time, Leona and Carlisle come to help Leah, but they are defeated by a lot of completely incomprehensible jargon from a certain Lori. Magical things are hard for warriors and archers to meddle with.

As for Isador and the two mages in his group, after seeing the intricacies of the explosion circle, their expressions were also no better than those of Carlisle and Leona, so they decisively chose to give up.

In the end, the only person who could help Lori turned out to be Merti.

"Oh, hehe, no matter how you say it, she is also the princess of the mermaid clan, and this is not a problem. ”

The other party said with a smile at the time. But for the sake of safety, Leah gave up on handing over the parts that could cause the explosion to a natural person. In short, most of Melti's busy places are restricted circles like magic chains.

Considering the racial characteristics of the mermaid, Leah asked the other party to draw a few of the most scooping water system restoration circles at the edge of the clearing in case of emergency.

"Well, that's the end. ”

I don't know how long it took, but looking up at the night sky, Leah muttered to herself. In her hands were a few pieces of dark demon cores, which were the harvest of the Dark Fire Forest along the way.

Theoretically, the Church does not allow the use of Dark Cores and Shards, which is considered heretical, just like casting dark magic. Leah didn't care, though, because few of the people there knew magic anyway.

Emotionally speaking, Izado and the two mages under him should not betray him. As for Melti, it won't be a problem if you give a little more advice.

And from a rational point of view, even if a few mercenaries scoop this matter and make a fuss, what can they do about the daughter of a dignified duke?

So it makes sense that Leah doesn't care about using the dark demon core to make the final killer feature.

After finishing this qiē, the sky also turned white, and after Xiao Lori and Melti each drank a bottle of calming elixir, they both entered meditation mode, using the remaining time to recuperate.

After breakfast, Isado looked at the magic circle in the clearing, and his eyes almost popped out.

"That's a ...... It's amazing. ”

"Hey, are these paintings amazing?"

Dietrich, on the other hand, had no idea what the various lines in front of her were for, she just scratched at her hair and asked nonchalantly.

"Well...... Let's put it this way - if you fight Lord Leah here, neither you nor I will have any chance of survival, no...... Maybe he'll die in an instant. ”

Isado commented matter-of-factly.

When it comes to ordinary duels, Leah's little Lori is definitely no match for the two long-standing mercenary captains in front of her.

However, the Mage is a class that is weak against surprise attacks, but is invincible in positional warfare. And the reason for this is alchemy and magic array.

All kinds of potions, giant stone statues, and magic circles are all killer weapons of mages.

At this moment, the shocking killing array in front of her was Leah's "gift" for the dark space wurm, and it was also her last killer weapon - a preparation that she thought she would never have a chance to use at all. At this time, because of Earl's withdrawal, it really came in handy.

These circles are not well buried, but as long as the excessively thick elemental fluctuations on them are eliminated, the wurms who don't think they have any brains will not retreat because of the "patterns" painted on the ground.

The remaining question is - how do you bring the other person over?

"Let me do it, if I have horses, at least I won't be caught up by the wurm. ”

Wurm travels much faster than a person, and if a person passes by, they will be killed by Wurm before they reach their destination. And if you send a team for this, the sacrifice is too great. So Leona decided to take it upon herself.

"No, since it was my idea, I should be the bait. Besides, if you think about it, it's just me, isn't it?".

Lea shook her head, although Leona could ride a horse, but the terrain of the Darkfire Forest was definitely not flat, except for the previous battlefield, and now this clearing full of circles, most of the area was densely covered with low bushes and scorched tree trunks, which was completely unsuitable for horses.

Therefore, the only suitable candidate is Leah, who can fly with telekinesis. The two mages in the mercenary group are not very powerful, and I am afraid that they will fall halfway through the flight, and Isador does not need to mention it. As for Melti, considering that the sea and flying are completely incompatible, needless to say, even if the mermaid girl can telepathize, she has definitely never flown before.

Because of this, even if tens of thousands of people are unwilling, only Leah can take the risk of carrying out this matter. However, in order to ensure that there are no accidents, Isardo and Dietrich still send all the thieves in the team to lurk in various parts of the road along the way, and if something happens to Leah, even if they fight for their lives, they must ensure her safety.

In this way, after properly arranging a qiē, little Lori set off, and after a distance that was not close to it, she came to the wurm lair that had been found by Carlisle and the thieves of the mercenary group earlier.

In the distance, a loud snoring could be heard from inside, and there was no doubt that yesterday's battle wurm was also injured a lot, and needed sleep to make up for the consumption of body and divine power.

"So...... Let's get started~"

Feeling the invisible but tangible pressure, Leah mustered up her courage and raised her staff above her head and spun it several times, finally aiming it at the deep entrance to the cavern.

"Ao-Impact-!!"

A perfect magical bombardment elicited an absolutely miserable howl in the deepest part of the cavern.
