Chapter 6: Out of place
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The battle between the Old Man and the Assassin continued, but it was clear that they had fallen behind.
The mana consumption of the third-order icicle is negligible for the eighth-order magic saint, but it is also a consumption, not to mention that in the incomplete state, coupled with the need to defend against the crossbow arrows shot by the opponent, the mana that is not much is declining sharply.
It's not that there are no potions to replenish mana, but the highest is only the seventh order. At present, the highest-end pharmacists of the Big 6 are only seventh-order, and no one will do anything that can completely replenish the potions consumed by the eighth-order magic saints; It is also for this reason that fifth- and sixth-order potions have become the mainstream in the market, and the price is even more expensive because of the scarcity of pharmacists, and ordinary magicians simply cannot afford to consume them.
The old man had already drunk the only two bottles of the seventh-order elixir, which his king's student had managed to get hold of and give to him, but that bit of magic was still too little for him in the eighth-order.
The entire outer ring of the dining room was covered in shattered ice picks, but it still couldn't affect the Assassin's movements, and the black shadow in the corner of the wall seemed to be suspended in the air, still rapidly changing positions.
"Gaga~, I really didn't expect that you actually had two seventh-order potions, but so what, in the end, it just made me know my strength better. I've had enough, you better give up, I'm in a good mood right now, maybe I'll let your new student go, hahaha....... "The Cun Zài, who used to look up, is now about to die in his own hands, and Jeromy Mosili is in a very happy mood at the moment.
Maybe he was too happy, maybe it was deliberate, this time Moxili didn't let the voice continue to reverberate, the old man didn't care so much, seized this opportunity to lock the position of the sound, and a sixth-order ice sealing technique that could be the strongest magic in an instant was immediately released. If you can seal the opponent like this, then you will have time to desperately consume your overall strength or vitality and launch a deadly attack.
In the corner of the wall, a layer of hoarfrost quickly covered the black shadow, but when a part of the hoarfrost strangely extended upwards to form thin ice, a crisp cracking sound sounded, and then a pitch-black figure came out of the entire whitened shadow area. At the same time, two black rays flew out of that figure and headed straight for the old man.
A magic shield was immediately erected, blocking the crossbow arrows, and after releasing a thick fog without stopping, he immediately hid behind the pillar next to him, but that was all. When he heard the sound of the thin ice shattering, the old man already knew that the defeat was not a spell, but the defeat of this battle, and it was also the end of his career as a law saint.
"Hahaha...... I'm really an eighth-order, hmph~ If I'm still a seventh-order, this ice sealing technique released by you might be able to kill me directly, now...... Hehe, in order to thank you for making me understand the power of the Eighth Order, I will take good care of the one you left behind after death. Confirming his strength, Moxili was extremely excited, but he didn't dare to get out of the dense fog lightly, because at the moment he was surrounded by the thick fog, he saw the determination in the other party's eyes.
No one dares to underestimate the madness of the mage at the end of his life, although he is already a strong man of the same level, Moheli still does not have the confidence to resist the self-explosion of a mage of the same level, not to mention that he is an assassin who relies on his agility to dodge attacks and has no real defensive ability.
Moheli is an assassin, a powerful eighth-order shadow who has just advanced, a storage at the top of the big 6 force, not a crazy dead man, an incomparably glorious future is waiting for him, so desperately is never what he wants, only to stay away for a while, and wait until the opponent's magic power is exhausted or mentally overdrawn is the wisest choice, otherwise the final result is likely to be the same end.
The old man was not willing to end his glory like this, but he had no choice, the only thing that made him unable to let go was not the newly accepted student Lu Chen, nor his old life, let alone the artifact in his hand, but the fear that the artifact would fall into the hands of the other party, which would mean that the northern Castine Empire had mastered the artifact.
Once this happens, the balance of the hundreds of years of the Great 6 will be immediately broken, and then the land that he has grown and protected, the students, etc., and other qiē will inevitably be poisoned by the flames of war, and the old man can only delay time as much as possible, looking forward to the arrival of Lu Chen, a new student; of course, it is not a rescue, but just take the artifact away, at least not fall into the hands of the enemy.
In this way, the old man and the Assassin were caught in another game.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
I don't know how long I meditated, Lu Chen suddenly saw that the unknown energy entering his body had decreased, and he felt that his strength seemed to have made a relatively large progress, and he was a little excited, and he immediately stopped absorbing it, ready to test his previous thoughts.
Regardless of whether it was right or not, he grabbed the long sword beside him and concentrated on moving the absorbed power to his right hand and the long sword. Dozens of seconds later, Lu Chen vigorously swung out what he thought was the strongest force......
A slight impact sound sounded on the edge of the arena, and Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then ran over a little undeniably. After careful inspection and repeated touching with my hands, I found a rough mark on the edge of the stone.
"No, is this the power I wield?" After a visual inspection, the location of the swing was only five or six meters from the arena, but there were only traces left at such a close distance. Looking at such a "destructive power" that is estimated to not even scratch the itch, Lu Chen really doesn't know what to say.
"Forget it, although it's similar to the toy gun when I was a child, it's a fighting spirit. Huh? Gun ...... Oops, why am I so idiotic, I didn't plan to be a meat shield, what are I doing with a sword. Lu Chen seemed to think of something, threw away the long sword in his hand, and ran back to the "garbage heap".
After a frenzy, he finally found his new target, a short, one-handed crossbow. "Alas~ I forgot the difference between point and face, it's so unforgivable. Okay, now let's try again. ”
It didn't take much effort to put on the crossbow string, picked up a crossbow arrow stand scattered next to him, and entered the same state as when he swung his sword, and it was more than ten seconds, Lu Chen aimed at the traces left on the edge of the fighting arena just now and pulled the expansion machine.
First, there was a "whoosh" sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and then a "duh" tap, Lu Chen rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then approached the location of the crossbow arrows with a look of disbelief, and then his face was filled with incomparable joy.
The crossbow arrow was accurately nailed to the marks left before, and half of the nearly 2o cm arrow body was submerged into the stone, not only these, but with the crossbow arrow as the center, there was also a depression in the surrounding diameter of half a meter, how much impact force does it take to do it!
"Is this really caused by my strength? I'm a human being on Earth, and ordinary bullets don't seem to be that powerful. Lu Chen looked at the sunken stone brick in a daze, and the liquid hanging from his mouth that normal people shouldn't have was frozen there like a paused movie screen.
"How many orders of strength is this, if it's a third-order, it would be fine. Damn, I'm stupid again, just go to the old man to make sure it's not. Thinking of this conservatively, Lu Chen ran to the weapon pile to find a bag of crossbow arrows, and when he was about to walk to the stairs, he thought of something, and copied a sword before leaving.
"Judging by the way I looked just now, my shooting talent should be pretty good, and being an archer should be more than enough, and if one is not good, I might become a mage killer. Hehe, yes, it's a mage killer, even the old man can't feel my power, so it's even more impossible for others to notice, hide in the dark and secretly give someone an arrow, haha, the otherworldly version of the sniper...... Well, you'll have to find a way to get a long-range crossbow......"
While climbing the stairs upwards, Lu Chen was thinking about a bright future, unaware that he was walking towards the Death's Mansion.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Time did not fly by in a hurry, the confrontation between the old man and the assassin did not last long, and the fog was still dense and invisible, showing no sign of dissipating.
Patience was one of the essential qualities for an Assassin, but at this time, Moheli may not be able to calm down because of the great achievement he was about to make, but the necessary reason in his heart suppressed that impulse, and only insulted the old man with reverberating vicious words.
“…… Old fellow, is there any point in your delay? If you blow yourself up sooner, you might hurt me, hahaha...... Give up, how about I leave you a full corpse, I believe your complete corpse will be worth more...... Hehe, I really want to see what your students look like when they see your body being well preserved upstairs in the Imperial Capital, it must be interesting...... By the way, and the new student you accepted just now, it seems that he is not even a first-order scholar, don't worry, I will let him accompany you to the underworld to continue studying, and there is someone who can serve you, haha......"
No matter how inferior and dirty Moheli said, the old man didn't say anything, he knew that the other party in the dense fog was looking for his position, so that he could use crossbow arrows or other means to attack, and at the same time, he also understood that the other party had already guessed his last means of attack, so he didn't dare to expose his position, let alone approach, he could only wait for his magic power to dry up.
"I almost forgot, one of your students seems to be a princess, I heard that she is also very beautiful, known as the flower of Finai Xiu or something, those princes of our country seem to have been coveting her beauty, you said that if she knew that your body was in Kaisting, would she change her body? Nerve-wracking, in your eyes, which of those princes of our country is worthy of her...... Don't you know? Then you can only let her choose, hehe, after 'trying' each prince, there should be a decision, should I let her try it too, although I am older, but the majesty is still there......"
"You ......," the old man finally couldn't help but speak. Mohili was talking about his favorite student, the first student, and even accepted the current King Phinesius as a student at that time, because he was closest to this little sister.
And almost at the same time, two crossbow arrows were nailed exactly to the pillar where the old man was leaning, and the old man's voice fell silent again.
But just when the old man and the assassin were secretly rejoicing and the other secretly sighing pity, the door of the restaurant opposite the old man was opened with a "squeak".
"Teacher, I've decided, I'm going to be an archer......" Lu Chen's excited voice appeared very inopportunely.
