Chapter 354: Starlight Bomb
Relying on the power of Hormela to block the death fire of the legendary bone dragon, the archers drew their bowstrings and threw bursting arrows at the dragon.
More than a dozen fourth-order burst arrows shot accurately at the bone dragon, blasting the golden bones of the legendary bone dragon into gray and black. There are some bones that have even been directly blown off by the blasting arrow.
The bones were broken, and the legendary bone dragon immediately stopped, and a white light was released from his body, inhaling a large amount of gray mist into his body along with the soul fire in the gray mist.
With the inhalation of the gray mist, the broken bones of the legendary bone dragon began to heal, and the color became golden again, and it only took a short time for most of the injuries of the legendary bone dragon to recover. But some of the undead creatures near the legendary bone dragon were instantly sucked dry by this powerful force.
After the sharpshooter shot the burst arrow, the soldiers of the first squadron also immediately threw alchemy bombs, and in an instant, more than a hundred alchemy bombs were thrown into the gray mist, killing more than a hundred skeletons and dispersing the gray mist.
After discovering that the Legendary Bone Dragon could absorb the power of the Grey Mist to recover from his injuries, Richard knew in his heart that it would be extremely difficult to win in a short period of time.
This battle against the undead is bound to be a protracted battle.
Seeing that the scope of the gray mist is still expanding, the scale of the undead is probably already tens of thousands.
Richard decisively gave the order to retreat, and asked the magician to retreat first on an iron wildebeest, and the infantry of the first squadron broke off and held back for a while.
Undead creatures, with the exception of a few types, move slower.
Skeletons and zombies are far less agile than humans, and the first squadron is an all-professional army, even if they are wearing heavy armor, they are faster than light infantry.
In this way, the battle line was lengthened.
By about ten o'clock in the evening, Richard and the others had withdrawn to the shore of the salt lake.
In December in northern Xinjiang, the temperature at night reached more than 20 degrees below zero, the salt lake had already frozen, and the ice was dozens of centimeters thick, so that not only people could walk, but even horse-drawn carriages could pass through, and the cold climate brought a lot of convenience to the retreat.
But retreating from the salt lake is also very dangerous, because retreat is bound to face battle, and the combat destructive power of high-level professionals is extraordinary.
If Richard had gone all out, it would have been the equivalent of throwing a bomb on the ice.
Once the ice surface cracks, even professionals are unlikely to be spared if they fall into the water in such weather, and the black light blinds the fire under the ice.
On the contrary, it is an undead spirit, who does not need to breathe, and in this situation you can play some of your advantages and still be able to climb up and fight.
If you want to bypass the salt lake, you need to make a detour of dozens of kilometers, and the reinforcements also need to adjust the route, which will also be very troublesome.
After a little consideration, Richard decided to let the soldiers of the first squadron and the low-level magicians retreat first, and the high-level professionals to hold on to the edge of the salt lake for a few minutes.
In a few minutes, the 1st Squadron and the Mage Regiment could withdraw at least a few hundred meters away.
Even if Richard and other high-ranking professionals are very destructive in battle, they will not be able to break the ice hundreds of meters away.
After seeing Richard's decision, both the soldiers commanded by Levin and the mage regiment commanded by Sanders, Butler and others strongly raised objections.
Richard is the core of the Duchy of Haaland, and his children are still young and have no inheritance rights for the time being. If something happens to Richard, the situation in the territory becomes very dangerous.
Besides, Richard had to pull Sophia to fight with him. If something goes wrong with them, civil strife will inevitably break out in Haaland's territory over the inheritance.
In recent years, the development of Haaland's territory has been thriving, and both warriors and magicians have a strong sense of accomplishment in their hearts. Even if they die, they are not willing to destroy the development of Haaland's territory.
Seeing that Levin, Butler and others were already very angry, they couldn't listen to Richard's advice at all, and they were willing to lead people to break off and buy a little time for everyone.
Seeing that the gray mist was surging up, and the army of the undead was close in front of him, Richard coughed vigorously and said, "Your professional level is too low, and you can't delay it for too long."
Besides, since I dare to make a decision, I naturally have the means to strike at the enemy at a critical time. You are all soldiers, obey orders. Now that we don't have time to discuss it, you organize a retreat at once. If I continue to procrastinate, I will have to enforce battlefield discipline. ”
Seeing that Richard gave the order very harshly, Levin and the others could only reluctantly retreat.
The reason why Richard dared to stay and break the queen was mainly because of the starlight necklace. Although both Richard and Sophia cast spells during the battle, they left behind enough magic to activate the Starlight Necklace.
Once the Starlight Bomb is unleashed, it is enough to inflict heavy damage and destroy Legendary level opponents.
Although exposing the Starlight Necklace will cause the jealousy of other great nobles and may lead to some unexpected troubles, with the power of Haaland's territory now, even if this legendary treasure is exposed, it will have enough strength to protect this treasure and deal with sudden dangers.
As he spoke, the army of the undead had already caught up, and one after another white bone claws stretched out from the gray mist.
I don't know how many undead creatures are there in this gray mist? Just the white bones sticking out of the gray mist had a dense feeling.
Sutton and Sylv took several middle and high-level warriors and rushed to the front row to protect the French professionals behind, Sutton and Sylph were already ninth-order knights, and their strength in hand-to-hand combat was extraordinary.
Several high-level professionals stopped the undead creatures that rushed up. They all held powerful enchanted weapons in their hands, and slashing the undead creatures was like chopping melons and vegetables, and in an instant, they killed hundreds of undead creatures, and the scattered white bones piled up, forming a mountain of white bones.
It's just that there are too many undead creatures, and in the blink of an eye, Richard and others are surrounded, and the situation has become very dangerous.
So far, Richard and the others have killed more than a thousand undead creatures, but the number of undead creatures is innumerable, as if there are tens of thousands. There was no sign of absence, and it was still pouring out of that mysterious cave.
Seeing that Levin and the others had already gone some distance, Sophia took the lead in making a move. I saw her violently urge the Starlight Necklace, and the magic power in her body gushed out. In an instant, a large stream of starlight fell from the sky, and a silver-white pillar of light pierced the night sky and fell into the middle of the gray mist.
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, the ground suddenly rolled and dust flew up.
As if a meteor had fallen, with the explosion point as the center, a powerful shock wave scattered in all directions, scattering countless white bones in an instant, and countless soul fires were instantly extinguished.
Shattered white bones fell from the sky, forming a sea of white bones with an area of half a kilometer, and the undead creatures that died in an instant exceeded at least a few thousand.
The white pillar of light comes with a powerful destructive power, and all the undead creatures that come into contact with the white pillar of light instantly evaporate and annihilate, and even the legendary bone dragon in the air was affected by the starlight bomb, and the energy level of the soul fire was reduced by half.
If it weren't for Sophia's lack of strength and control over the Starlight Bomb, she didn't land the bomb on top of the Legendary Bone Dragon, otherwise this blow would have been enough to wipe out the Legendary Bone Dragon.
Although Sophia is very talented, her mental power strength surpasses that of ordinary magicians by a lot, after all, she has not encountered many adventures, and her mental power is only thirty-one, plus the five points of the Starlight Necklace bonus, it is only thirty-six points, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of an ordinary nine-ring magician. It's worse than some elite nine-ring mages.
A starlight bomb requires the consumption of 300 mana points, and Sophia did not awaken the mana multiplication talent. After using the Starlight Bomb, the mana in his body was close to drying up, and he couldn't fight anymore.
Richard removed the Starlight necklace from Sophia's neck, shook Sophia's hand vigorously, and gave her a determined look. Then he spoke to the two vassals: "Baron Vito, Baron Grumment, you two will take Sophia away first, and protect the Duchess's safety." ”
Vito and Grumand knelt down on one knee, sword in hand, and made an oath.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, I swear by the honor of nobility that as long as my life remains, I will definitely protect the safety of the Duchess."
Vito is a member of the Stowe family, and is Sophia's distant uncle by blood, and is an experienced sixth-order warrior, while Grumand is an eighth-order warrior with strong combat effectiveness, and the protection of the two of them is enough for Sophia to get out of the trap smoothly.
Sophia's starlight bomb fell in the middle of the gray mist, killing more than 3,000 undead creatures in a single blow.
The Starlight Bomb fell, blasting the Grey Mist in two and inflicting heavy damage on the mighty foe of the Legendary Bone Dragon.
Seeing that the legendary bone dragon was injured, Richard and Homela glanced at each other and decided to get rid of this opponent with a tacit understanding.
Although they didn't know the situation of this ruin, the number of Legendary-level undead creatures must be very small, and seizing the opportunity to kill the Legendary Bone Dragon now would be of great benefit to defeating the army of the undead.
Huo Mei stretched out his old hands, took out the second Holy Light Token, and released the second legendary divine magic.
Legendary bone dragons are very intelligent creatures, unlike ordinary undead creatures.
Although the undead creatures have a long lifespan and the soul fire is not extinguished, they can survive forever. But there is also a big drawback, that is, the lack of wisdom.
Most of the undead creatures are stupid, especially zombies and skeletons, and are truly inferior creatures. Undead creatures with high intelligence are all rare breeds, and they are very few among the undead creatures.
The legendary bone dragon is an undead creature with intelligence, and intelligent creatures are naturally afraid of death.
Although the legendary bone dragon is powerful, it still has a strong fear of death. It had just been hit hard by the Starlight Bomb, and was about to flee when a thick holy light struck it fiercely.
The legendary bone dragon finally survived the starlight bomb, but he didn't expect to usher in the legendary magic of holy light shining again.
If it was intact, the Legendary Bone Dragon was sure to escape under this magic technique, but now it was seriously injured and was instantly cornered.
This time, good luck did not befall the head of the legendary bone dragon, this powerful holy light accurately hit the skull of the legendary bone dragon, and a large amount of holy light seeped into the skull, extinguishing the soul fire of the legendary bone dragon, killing the opponent with a single blow.
Without the difficult opponent of the legendary bone dragon, high-level professionals such as Sutton, Sharp, and Vader immediately killed the killer and easily slaughtered a large number of ordinary skeletons.
Ordinary zombies and skeletons are actually very low in combat power, and if they suppress their fears, they are actually no match for armored soldiers.
In an instant, with Sutton and a few people as arrows, everyone had broken through to the place where the legendary bone dragon fell.
The legendary bone dragon is dead, but the bones he left behind are very precious treasures. These dragon bones are all bones from ancient dragons that have died in battle, and they are all high-level magic materials.
The keel contains powerful negative energy, and pumping out this negative energy is also of great help to the study of magic.
Richard Wendini carried a large storage item that could take all these keels away, but the battle situation was very urgent, and there was not so much time for the time being, so she could only die a little.
If you want to collect materials, you can only wait for the time to win the battle and clean up the battlefield.
Although the Legendary Dragon Bone is very precious and can be regarded as a high-value treasure, it is far inferior to the Legendary Soul Crystal.
Warcraft usually have a magic core in their body, and undead creatures have soul crystals in their body.
Soul crystals are the place where soul fire is stored, and it is a special type of crystal. This kind of crystal is only left over from the death of the soul creatures, in the ancient wizard era, there was a special technology that could extract this kind of crystal from the soul of a higher intelligent creature, and now some black magic, necromantic magic organizations, also have this research.
Soul crystals are precious treasures in the wizarding world with special powers attached to them.
First of all, the soul crystal can be refined into the Styx Elixir, the formula of the Styx Elixir is very simple, there are only three materials: Soul Crystal, Moonlight Grass, and Dragon's Blood Fruit. The grades of Styx Elixir vary and are mainly determined by the level of the soul crystal. Using Legendary-level Soul Crystals, it is possible to refine Legendary-level Elixirs.
The Styx Elixir is one of the few elixirs in the Dawn Plane that can directly increase mental power, and the primary Styx Elixir can increase ten points of magic power. Medium Styx flasks can increase by 20 points, and high Styx flasks can increase by 30 points. The legendary-level Styx potion can increase mana by 60 points at a time, which is equivalent to increasing mental power by 6 points.
The weaker the mental power of the magician, the best effect of using the Styx potion, once the magician's mental power exceeds forty points, the effect of using the Styx potion is reduced by half. If the mental power exceeds fifty points, even if you use the legendary Styx potion, you can't increase your magic power.
According to the experience of the Dawn Plane, a mage can only use three Styx potions in his life, the first one has the best effect, the second one has been reduced by half, and the third has been reduced by half, which is already dispensable.
Richard's mental power has exceeded fifty points, and there is no essential difference between him and the legendary magician, and most of the potions in this world are of little use to him. However, if Sophia and Wendy and the others drank the Styx potion, it would be very helpful to improve their magical qualifications.
The innate spiritual power is strong, and it is also a key factor for the magician to break through the legend.
