Under Julius' desperate gaze, the Radiant Dragon flicked his head, and the cyan Thor's sword slashed through the heavens and slashed at him.

After fighting with Xia Huilong for a long time, his arm shield and knight armor were already scarred, and his physical strength was also bottoming out, and at this time, he couldn't run away or block it, so he could only watch this cyan pillar of light swing towards him.

And at this moment, Yuna, who had been waiting for a long time, seized this opportunity and aimed at Xia Huilong and pulled the trigger.

"Whew-"

A beam of pure white light streaked across the sky and struck the Radiant Dragon's chest.

The torrent of light elementals melted the dark green scale armor on its chest, and the area around the wound was also scorched black, and the Xiahui Dragon howled in pain, and the sword of Thor on the crown of his head was suddenly deflected, sweeping towards the mountain peaks on the side.

With a "bang", the trees and rocks were split in two wherever the cyan pillar of light went, and Julius was in a cold sweat.

The next moment, Ryan had already rushed to his side, raised his arms and shields, and shouted in a deep voice: "Retreat!" ”

He had been watching the battle coldly, and when he felt that the situation was wrong, he rushed over in time.

Even if the white raven didn't make a move, he would have had time to save Julius.

"Retreat!"

The mages raised their spell barriers, the knights threw smoke bombs one after another, and the group quickly disappeared into the woods.

"It's time to retreat."

Nolan said to Yuna via the soul link, "We've got enough information. ”

The knights who were on the battlefield might not have understood what had just happened, but through Yuna's bird's-eye view in the sky, he could clearly observe it.

Before the high-level spell hit the Glowing Dragon, the Glowing Dragon spread its glass-colored wings and completely enveloped its body.

Subsequently, the Book of All-Knowing Beings revealed the spells it cast:

The seventh-order special spell "Spell Absorption" has been recorded.

Knowledge points +192.

Effect: Absorbs no more than Tier 7 Spell Energy and transforms it into its own magical power.

It was with this magical spell that the Xiahui Dragon was able to survive the full attack of the five high-level mages, and it could also replenish its magic power and enter the charged enhanced state again.

On this side, Yuna received an order to follow the team into the woods and retreat.

Recovering from the beam cannon strike, the dragon flicked its wings to disperse the nearby smoke and spell barriers, but found no trace of the enemy.

It roared angrily, and the thunder in the sky did not stop for a long time.

"Yet, special spells?"

Looking at the glowing dragon hovering in the air, Noren was thoughtful.

"Spell Absorption" can not only block spell attacks, but also replenish one's mana, which is simply the perfect defensive spell.

However, because it is more powerful than defensive spells of the same level, it is not an ordinary elemental spell, but a special spell.

A special spell is a spell that is independent of the regular spell system and often requires special conditions to take effect.

For example, if some races can use the power of the bloodline to cast special spells, then one of the necessary conditions for such special spells is that the bloodline of that race is required.

According to the Book of All-Knowing Knowledge, in addition to the circle that needs to be engraved with the spell, there are two conditions that need to be met in order to cast the spell:

1. Requires the glazed armor of the Kasumi Dragon.

2. Requires the Magic Bag of the Kasumi Dragon.

Among them, the glass armor is responsible for absorbing mana, and the mana bag is responsible for storing mana.

Without the assistance of these two organs, "Spell Absorption" would not be able to activate properly.

This also explains why Yuna's beam cannon was able to deal damage to the glow dragon later.

Because only the wings of the Radiant Dragon are partially attached to the glazed armor, the beam cannon hits the normal scale armor on its chest, so it does not trigger the effect of spell absorption.

Conversely, if you obtain the Radiant Dragon's glass armor and magic bag, process them into a shield and engrave a magic circle on it......

Does this mean that you can reproduce the effects of Spell Absorption yourself?

Since the Book of Omniscient Know-It-Knows has specially marked the conditions for casting spells for itself, this idea should be feasible!

Thinking of this, his mind couldn't help but come alive.

I originally thought it was just a crusade against a difficult monster, but I didn't expect there to be a surprise.

If the White Raven can equip a shield equipped with "Spell Absorption", its strength will improve by leaps and bounds.

Because "Spell Absorption" can not only completely resist spells, but also replenish mana, this makes the white raven greatly improve both survivability and endurance!

"The battle is over?"

In the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion, Evelyn brought him a cup of tea and asked, "How is the situation, is there a way to deal with it?" ”

"Well, the team has evacuated unharmed, and we've pretty much figured out how it's attacking." Nolan took off his black raven mask, took a sip of tea, and gave her a brief explanation of the situation.

It is known that the Radiant Dragon has two states, and under normal circumstances, its wings are glaze-colored, and it can absorb all spell energy below the sixth order and transform it into its own magical power.

When the mana is full, the glowing dragon will enter a fully charged and enhanced state, at which point its wings will change color to dark green, becoming an invincible melee weapon.

At the same time, his strength will also increase explosively, even if several knights of the same rank are supplemented by the support of mages, the battle situation is once difficult to support.

In this case, even if Ryan, who is an eighth-order knight, is tough with him, I'm afraid he won't be able to get much benefit.

Even if it can gain the upper hand, it will not be able to kill it or stop it from flapping its wings and escaping.

"Can't all spells work on it?"

Hearing that the Xia Hui Dragon was able to face several high-level spells unharmed, Evelyn's eyes widened in surprise.

She is a high-level earth mage, if the Xia Hui Dragon is really so powerful, then it should be called a mage killer.

"It's not that I'm completely immune to magic." Nolan shook his head.

"It can't block spell energy beyond the seventh order, and theoretically if you attack it with spells above the seventh order, you can actually deal damage to it."

Of course, to put it simply, there are no mages above the seventh order in Linfeng City, and this method will not work.

“…… There's no way around it. ”

Evelyn frowned, "Melee combat is so powerful, and it is immune to spell attacks below the seventh order, should it be said that it is worthy of being a dragon demonic beast, it is really a bit difficult."

"After thinking about it, I can only let the knights attack head-on, but fortunately, the enhanced state seems to be very magical.

"As long as you don't cast a spell on it, it won't be able to absorb the spell energy, and the magic power will soon be exhausted, so when it turns back to its normal state, let's ask Captain Ryan to kill it."

Nolan fell into deep thought and didn't say anything for a while, Evelyn couldn't help but say, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with what I said?" ”

"In terms of attrition war, we can indeed drag it out, after all, no matter how powerful it is, it can't escape the realm of a seventh-order demonic beast."

"But defeating it, repelling it, and defeating it altogether are two different things.

"If the opponent is a little careful, he will not be stupid to exhaust all his magic power in the grappling, and once he sees that the situation is wrong, he is very likely to leave the battle halfway.

"And we don't have a killer against it at the moment, and I'm afraid that a war of attrition won't actually kill it."

"There's no need to be obsessed with crusading against it." Evelyn hesitated, "Mining the veins in the cave is the highest priority right now, didn't you say that this is the vein of the magic crystal ore that we urgently need right now?"

"As long as you can combine your technology with the energy of the Demon Crystal Vein, the strength of Linfeng City will increase by leaps and bounds, and if the Xia Hui Dragon dares to come back at that time, we must already have the ability to leave it behind."

Her ideas are pragmatic and reasonable.

Since Linfeng City is not sure of eating this prey steadily, it is better to drive it away first and use the resources in this area to develop itself.

But for Nolan, killing the Dragons is not only about solving the threat once and for all, but also about using the materials on its body to create alchemy weapons, so as to gain the ability of "Spell Absorption".

He was really hungry for "spell absorption", so he didn't want to let this prey go so easily.

What if it doesn't come back for revenge? The Linfeng Mountain Range is so big, it's hard to see each other if you miss it!

"It's flawed...... Actually, there are. ”

Nolan thought for a moment and said, "Its wings have two forms, a sturdy dark green form and a glass-colored form that can absorb spell energy. ”

"Although the glass-colored form is immune to spells, its physical defense is not as strong as the dark green form.

"So I wondered if I could use a spell attack to lure its wings into a glass-colored form, and then mix in a physical attack to destroy its wings in one fell swoop.

"Once the wings are injured, the Xiahui Dragon will become a turtle in the urn, and it will not be able to escape the end of being defeated by us."

"I see." Evelyn's eyes lit up, "In today's battle, did our knight take advantage of the mage's spell casting to cause damage?" ”

"Nope." Noren shook his head, "High-level attack spells will destroy all objects within the attack range without distinguishing between the enemy and me, and the knight can't get close at this time, so even the arrows will be broken in the elemental turbulence." ”

Not only that, but the power of "Spell Absorption" lies in the fact that it is not only immune to spells below the seventh order, but also has a certain amount of defense against physical attacks.

This is a special spell shield with mana absorption.

Even if it were to hit its wings with an intact arrow in this form, it would probably only be scratched at best, not enough to make it instantly incapacitated.

"So what do you say?" Evelyn's eyes darkened, "Isn't there still no way to take it in the end?" ”

"Aren't you thinking about it now?"

Nolan touched his chin, "As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties, and alchemy is a miracle technique that exists to solve all kinds of difficulties and needs." ”

"Huh? Did you think of a way? ”

"By thought, we could replace the arrow material with an alchemy material that is better at piercing spell shields."

Nolan smiled, "For example—Holy Silver." ”

Of course, Evelyn knew something about the material of the Holy Silver, and couldn't help but wonder, "Can the arrows made of the Holy Silver really cause damage to the Xia Hui Dragon?" ”

Since there is a metal with a high affinity for magic such as Mithril in this world, there are also special materials that can repel magic and penetrate spell shields.

Holy silver is one of the representative metals, and although it has the same word "silver" as Mithril, it has completely different characteristics from each other.

Mithril is hard and friendly to magic, while Holy Silver is soft and repels magic.

Due to its properties, Mithril is often used as a weapon for the Transcendents, most of which are forged into knight steel.

On the other hand, holy silver is often made into crosses, ornaments and other prayers and evil spirits, which can effectively protect the wearer from cursed spells.

However, the soft nature of Holy Silver doomed it to be a qualified general-purpose weapon, and its strength was not as strong as ordinary iron weapons, which would be bent by ordinary armor.

In the Roland Empire, there was also a Demon Breaking Silver Sword made of holy silver as the main material, but it was also mainly used as a secondary weapon.

After the user breaks the magic shield with the Demon Breaker Silver Sword, they must immediately switch to a harder Knight Sword to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

Even if an arrow made from Holy Silver alone can penetrate the Radiant Dragon's spell shield, how much damage can it do to its body?

Although the glass-colored wings are a little worse than the physical defense of the dark green form, they are not embroidered pillows that can be broken at the first poke!

"If the material is not good, just optimize the formula."

Nolan smiled, "Isn't alchemy progressing through generations of research and optimization?" ”

"You really say pretty powerful things at every turn." Evelyn raised her forehead, "I don't know you alchemists very well, optimizing recipes or something...... Is it that easy to do? ”

"Of course it's not easy, so I'm a genius."

Nolan smiled and waved his hand, got up and walked out, "Okay, I'm going to make a new invention today, so you can wait with anticipation!" ”

"Hey, how long will that take?"

Evelyn chased after his back and asked, "For the sake of the Radiant Dragon and this cave, Linfeng City has already concentrated most of its forces, do you plan to let everyone wait for you for a year and a half?" ”

"Don't worry, you still don't believe in my speed?"

Nolan looked back and smiled, "I'm a man who can build five new city defense cannons in one day!" ”

Optimizing the recipe for the Silver was only the first step, as he would not only make arrows from the improved Silver and distribute them to the knights participating in the raids, but also experiment with the possibility of live-fire weapons.

That's right, he's going to make a live-ammunition magic guide for the white raven.

Because of the medium of the weapon, the arrow should not be made too coarse, and if the caliber is required, the lethality is also limited.

But switching to the Magic Guide Gun launch doesn't have this problem.

In his vision, the live-fire magic guide gun will be equipped with large-caliber Holy Silver crossbow arrows, and with the pull of the trigger, the crossbow arrows will be shot out through layers of accelerated magic arrays in the long barrel, like an armor-piercing bullet to give Xia Huilong a crucial blow.

If successful, it will be a successful breakthrough in the unknown territory of the Wizard.

Thinking of this, he immersed his mind in his thoughts and said silently:

"The book of omniscience, give me optimization!"
