Chapter 699 - Dangerous Actions, Don't Imitate
It's not impossible to slash spells with a weapon, but usually, when a weapon comes into contact with a spell, the energy contained in the spell is channeled through the weapon to the wielder.
For example, the Flame Explosion technique performed by Mediven in his heyday, Salian would not dare to take it hard under any circumstances.
Egwene had passed on his mana to Medivan many years ago, retaining only a small amount of the power of a guardian that he would use to keep his youth alive.
To put it simply, Egwene is no longer the demigod witch she was at her peak.
Although her strength can still be maintained in the legendary realm, the negative impact of old age and decay on her combat effectiveness cannot be easily eliminated by the rejuvenation spell.
Her experience is still there, but her extreme output is inevitably declining.
On the way to Kalimdor by boat, Sarean discussed the matter with Gianna and Tina Gosa.
After losing most of her guardian powers, Egwene's rejuvenation spells were superficial, preserving her youthful appearance and not fundamentally improving her aging physical functions.
Carefully calculated, Egwene also lived for nearly a thousand years.
In her early years, she was able to rely on the power of the Guardians passed down from generation to generation by the Council of Tirisfa.
When she made up her mind to pass on the duties and powers of the Guardian to Medivan, the time that Egwene had been forcibly locked up for years began to flow again, and her life began to count down.
Gianna and Tina Gosa, who is a permanent species, have come to a conclusion that cannot be verified.
The arcane power that originates from the side of order can indeed extend the lifespan of mortals to a certain extent, such as Antonidas.
But before breaking through the life form of mortals and becoming a real demigod, life extension is only life extension after all, and there will inevitably be its limit.
The best example of this is Antonidas.
Even with the arcane prolonged lifespan, Antonidas' energy has declined significantly in the last year or so.
He has already begun to prepare for the handover of the Speakership, and most of Kenrito's decision-making has been handed over to Ronin on an experimental basis, and he himself is only responsible for checking and filling in the gaps.
Once Ronin has fully adapted to the duties of Speaker with the assistance of the councillors, Antonidas intends to retire with all his work, and live in peace for the rest of his life.
In the same way, the small amount of guardian power that Egwene intercepted could only keep her young forever and prolong her life to a certain extent.
Also in the legendary realm, there is no reason for Sarlian to be afraid of the old and decrepit Egwene.
Moreover, his suffering from being "initiated" by Malygos with the Rainbow of Focus in the Eternal Eye was not in vain.
Considering the problem of being greedy and chewing too much, Sarean does not intend to dabble in the arcane path until the warrior and druyin levels reach the limits of mortals.
But that doesn't mean he's going to throw away the power he's gained.
Under the counsel of Stellagosa, Salaan chose an arcane method that best suited his current combat style - enchantment.
Enchantment is not an enchantment specialization that mages are proud of, and does not fundamentally alter the properties of weapons and armor, but rather a temporary additional effect.
For example, when facing Fireball, before swinging his weapon and slashing, Sarren will first inject the fire element he uses to simulate the arcane into the weapon.
In this way, a special harmonic effect can be formed, using the same spell properties to cancel out the fire elemental energy contained in the enemy's fireball technique, and will not be rushed into the body by the furious fire element.
This time, Sarren used the same technique when he bounced off Egwen's arcane missile, and this kind of knife cracking technique is really not something anyone can do.
The barrage summed up a reminder for this very well.
[Dangerous movements, please do not imitate. 】
The mud swamps have always been deserted, and the most abundant creatures in this area are not humans, but crocodiles, amphibious beasts that often appear in wetlands.
After descending from the sky, Onexia was unaware for a moment, and happened to step on a crocodile hiding in the water to prey.
With the body mass of an adult dragon, the fate of this crocodile can be imagined.
Just as Onexia shook her right hind leg with a look of disgust, the sudden attack caught her off guard.
If it weren't for Sarren jumping out to block the attack, the distracted Onexia would have been stunned by the sudden appearance of the Arcane Missile Lake.
What a shrewd person Onexia was, the moment she was attacked, she realized that her massive body would only become a living target for enemies hiding in the shadows.
As Sarren drew her enchanted twin swords to deflect off enemy attacks, she returned to her human form as fast as she could, vigilantly keeping the weaker Tina Gossa and Gianna in her back.
One thing to say, Sarlian was somewhat surprised by the attack on Egwene.
'Didn't Merry find Egwene yet?' Or...... What did the open-mouthed old lich say that made Egwene angry? Are we also implicated as the object of anger? ’
Even though she has given up her human identity to become an undead lich, Merry Winterwind still retains a very typical mage mentality, and her desire to learn (to die) is full.
When it comes to academic discussions, Merry is merciless in his role as a hair dryer.
Whenever anyone he discussed a problem made the slightest mistake, the venomous old lich would not hesitate to point it out and ridicule it.
Sarjan was glad that none of the people he brought to meet Merry at the time had a deep knowledge of the arcane arts.
Tina? Although this little guy has a promising future, he is still very immature after all, and he can't sit down with a master like Merry, and Merry won't fail to mock a junior whose knowledge reserve is far from enough.
Tina Gossa and Stella Gosa are both in their hundreds, and they are still in the "baby" stage by the dragon's standard.
And Merry, who has lived for nearly 3,000 years, says that Tina Gosa is perfectly fine as a junior.
Egwene is different, although she is still a lot worse than Merry in terms of seniority, but with her strength and knowledge, she is fully qualified to talk to Merry.
Ronin had complained to Sarian very bitterly before, and Merry, who was usually mild-mannered, would become a ruthless hair dryer once he talked about academic theories.
However, the poisonous tongue is poisonous tongue, and Councillor Kenrito, including Ronin, has indeed learned a lot from Merry's mocking words, and he is both painful and happy.
Egwene was also a violent man in his youth, falling out with the old diehards of the Council of Tirisfa at the slightest disagreement, and the two sides fought for centuries.
Saljan didn't think that the old Egwene would restrain his temper, as the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.
Once Merry annoyed her with her words, the grumpy old lady Egwene wouldn't be as accustomed to him as Kenrito's juniors.
Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.
Although Egwen retreated from the demigod realm, the experience and knowledge accumulated in that realm will not die out, and her actual combat ability is stronger than that of ordinary legendary mages, and Merry is probably not an opponent if she is caught off guard.
Just as the Sarjan twin sword guards were waiting for the battle, an ethereal sound that could not be heard from anywhere rang out around the four of them.
"Humph! Are you here to help that old thing persuade me to go back? ”
"Don't waste your efforts, please go back, I'm already dead, I'm in seclusion, and I don't want to get involved in any mundane things anymore."
Sarjan quietly exchanged glances with Onexia, the black dragon princess shook her head slightly, and said in the spirit link channel: "I didn't find where it is, the other party is very cautious and did not leak the slightest energy fluctuation." ”
Unable to find anyone physically, Salajan had no choice but to change his plans and verbally provoke Egwene to appear.
Informing Onexia to protect Gianna and Tina Gosa, Sarean deliberately mocked in a mean tone: "It's sad that the Guardians of the generation who once ruled Azeroth now don't even have the courage to take responsibility." ”
"I don't know how Medivan would feel if he saw his proud mother in the spirit of heaven like this."
"You!"
Sure enough, Sarren's words hit Egwen's sore spot.
Although they don't have much contact with each other, Egwene doesn't love his son less than any mother.
Medivan had carried Egwen's hopes for the future from birth, hoping that he would not go his own way and take on the responsibilities of the guardians of Tirisfa, and protect Azeroth.
Unfortunately, in the end, it backfired, and Medivan was targeted by the Demon King before he was born, and his tragic fate was already predestined to some extent.
After learning that Medivan had died in his own mage tower, Egwen, who hurried to collect his son's body, blamed himself.
She believed that it was her own arrogance that had harmed Medivan, and that if she hadn't been so inflated after defeating Sargeras's doppelganger and had been more careful to check her body and soul, the series of tragedies that followed might not have happened at all.
"Half-elf imp! You're going to pay the price for your open-mouthedness! ”
"Flame Blast!"
