Chapter 224: Fighting
The air was mixed with obvious murderous aura, and neither side put down the battle configuration, just standing there, like a blade out of the sheath, not to be careless. It is precisely because of this that they have never moved, and I am afraid that as long as the balance is broken, the other party will attack.
The everyday life he trusted had long since crumbled like glass, and once again, Curt felt that he was just standing on a thin layer of ice that could melt at any time. The rare peace is so fragile that it can be shattered if it is touched by someone with great force.
Originally, I just wanted to live quietly without looking, talking, listening, or thinking about it, until the day when the fate of myself and Lizzie came to an end - but life was not as good as it should be.
He looked silently at the man, who was about in his late forties...... Presumably, he will not be more than fifty years old. The slightly undulating expression regained its calmness, and I am afraid that in the eyes of those who watch, it will feel that the expression is a little gentle, but in the dark pupils, a cold gaze is radiating.
"Interesting, just the two of you...... Do you want to come to us?" he said condescendingly, looking at the two of them, "Anyway, it's just being used without knowing anything, so it's better to survive in the end?" ”
Perhaps it was believed that both Curt and Lizzie were important pawns under François, and that the "Wind of the Twelve" would even inform them of the most important information. And the fighting skills shown by the two are also more valuable than those one-off chess pieces.
"Are you 'qualified' on your side, as if you were great. ”
Lizzie said with a smile on her lips, deliberately accentuating the word "qualification" to reveal her disgust for the True Eye.
"That's what you're saying. After all, being indiscriminately called by that old fox is really not fun at all. In this case, it may be wise to choose a party that follows the terms of employment clearly. Curt shook his hand politely, "And I'm curious what conditions you can offer......
Then he smiled a little and said loudly, "But." I refuse - because you are less trustworthy than the old fox. ”
He completely ignored the pressure released from the other side and looked at the enemy in front of him with a smile. It seems that in his eyes, the other party is just a projection. It may be nerve-wracking to be pointed at by a mechanic, but no one is afraid of the iron pipe pointed at them in the picture.
"Hmph...... What a funny guy. ”
And then--
"But it's a pity. ”
The moment he said that.
Cracking sound!
A fierce pop rang out.
The deadlock was broken in an instant, and more than a dozen men in black seemed to have suddenly grown out of the ground, surrounding Curt and Lizzie from all sides. The tip of the metal staff they held in their hands burst into a dazzling glow. All kinds of electric light flew out like a swarm of snakes.
And in the middle of the encirclement, Curt, who was holding a long knife, struck in the direction of the man like a ghost. Long before he could advance, Lizzie threw several shards of metal in the direction of the sorcerers, and they shattered in mid-air, ejecting fine, sharp shards.
Most of the ordinary people's perception of spell combat is just stuck in the popular literature on the market - that is, . It's just a clash of spells.
It may seem to them that the "battlefield" constructed by the two opposing groups of mages is nothing more than the construction of complex Rubik's cubes on both sides, with dazzling flashes of brilliant light everywhere, and a deafening roar that continues to be heard...... These points.
However, the real situation may be a little far from these imaginations.
With the exception of the Elemental School, which makes use of natural phenomena, most of the school's spells lack brilliant visual effects...... In fact, most of the commonly used spells can even be described as "plain". There was no sound, no dazzling light and shadow—yet still full of deadly power.
Traditionally, there are some phenomena that naturally produce light sources, such as flames. The rest of the spells can only observe the brilliance of magic. The movement of fluids such as wind and water, the decomposition and reconstruction of the shape of things...... These are just direct manifestations.
After all, the most basic principle of using spells is simply to understand the basic elements that make up a phenomenon. And then use your own power to reproduce these phenomena. Unless the energy is deliberately displayed, most of the phenomena in this world will not have too obvious brilliance.
Possession of information is the basis of magic, and only by having insight into the "truth" contained in all things can it be possible to use magic to construct it. Magic, on the other hand, is the food of spells, and magicians want to reconstruct a phenomenon if they want to. It is necessary to consume the magic that constructs its basic program.
There is a limit to the power that humans can have, which is why mages think about how to produce more efficient phenomena with less energy. Imagine. If it only takes a single knife to kill a living being, then why waste an extra body and take a mallet and smash it into pieces?
However, the attacking mages didn't seem to care about the loss of their mana. After regrouping, they dispersed once more, sending out waves of electric light at Curt and Lizzie. A large amount of fragmented magic escaped in the air, and few could successfully threaten the two of them.
"Flash, don't you have plenty of magic?" the skinny girl shouted as she glared viciously at the heavily assembled magemen, "and if you have the audacity to show your fangs to us, you won't complain even if you are cut to pieces by me, right?"
She mercilessly tore open the lightning that shot at her, as if they were nothing more than papier-mâché. In that blinding flash, her thin body had already burst into front of a black-robed man with an expressionless face who was casting spells, and her fist with a large amount of condensed magic power smashed into his chest like a battering ram.
Then he flew out—the girl's slender wrist struck him in the chest like a battering ram, and he flew into the air like a rag bag. With a whoosh, the black-robed body flashed in front of Curt, and he was almost hit by the black body before he could dodge.
"Hey, please, ......"
He was about to raise his voice in protest, but the second half of the sentence suddenly stopped—suddenly, Curt felt as if something dry had been scraped near his neck, and the air became a touch in the blink of an eye.
It's like being in the middle of a battlefield, and the feeling of life being threatened - I haven't experienced it for a long time, and if you just live in an ordinary daily life, this strange feeling may not have the opportunity to experience once.
Buzz -
Curt saw the man in the distance move his palm slightly, and immediately there was a thin vibration sound, and then a flickering orb flashed in his hand. At the same time, the pitch-black "sun" behind him also began to move, and the sphere suspended in the center of the metal pillar emitted several purple-black radiances.
As if going with the flow, the complex structures scattered on the ground are like integrated machines, making a continuous creaking sound and then moving quickly. The sound of mechanical friction was like a wail, and the corpses of the Slots who had provided power to the giant "magic furnace" had begun to decay to the naked eye, and the magic extracted from their wreckage had probably turned into the man's power.
Before Curt could observe the changes in the compression in a matter of seconds, he felt a wave of magic blowing like a hollow wind. The moment he sensed something was wrong, his body immediately reacted in an emergency and withdrew from the area encased in magic.
He turned and took a few steps back, and at the same time took Lizzie away from the place - and in the next second, he heard a lumbersome, dull sound that was different from the previous roar at close range. Ultramarine flashes of light were reflected on the retina, and the dense light smashed abruptly in front of you like a hammer.
In an instant, the air distorted, and the path of light that shot out from the depths of the "sun" turned into a rushing stream, completely submerging it. The place where only the two of them were was now shrouded in a faint ultramarine glow. The icy light is projected on the ground made of heavy stone bricks, depicting the reflection of countless polygons.
Brilliant and full of lethal power - this is very much in line with the common people's impression of "attack spells".
The area shrouded in ultramarine light suddenly turned into a murderous and hostile space, and the oppressive feeling they released made the atmosphere spread in a more sensitive direction. The light was as quiet as the moonlight, but beneath the harmless exterior lurked the overflowing aggression of the caster.
Curt only had time to see the moment he raised his hand to release the Rubik's Cube, so he could only escape a little wolf at the moment he attacked. Not even having room to appreciate the spell - or rather, even to tease - Curt gently lowered Lizzie and then took a stance of attack with his long knife in his hand again.
It has reached the ferocious Cheng dù, how many of them fell in front of this man in this silent killing intent? Thousands or tens of thousands, if the powerful magicians were willing, then they would indeed be able to annihilate countless human beings under the premise of being well prepared.
In the midst of that group of cyan light curtains, there were still a few black-robed mages that suddenly appeared. They didn't notice the spell coming from behind them, so there was no doubt that they had been directly hit by the powerful magic, and now they had twisted into charred shards that could not be seen in their original form.
Not even the "piece of meat" Cheng dù does not have, it is just scattered all over the place, and no one can see what was once the wreckage of something.
He is also merciless to his companions - I can only say, worthy of him, right?
