Without any time to think and no way to cast spells, Leo had to increase the range and strength of his mental vigilance, while choosing to move quickly laterally to avoid ranged attacks.

And when he looked in the direction where the rocket was fired, he couldn't help but be surprised.

I don't know when, a huge Nu chariot has appeared on the edge of the castle wall. Without manual operation, a crossbow arrow was automatically pushed onto the crossbow chamber by the magic force, locking Leo, and then the crossbow string was pulled apart, and violent magic fluctuations broke out again!

"Buzz!"

With the scream of the crossbow strings, the bolts burst into flames and shot out at speeds beyond the naked eye.

Fortunately, Leo had a hunch and kept moving, and finally dodged the attack again by a fraction of a second.

"Magical Giant Ballist...... There's this thing......"

Leo didn't have time to see how much damage the bolts had done to the ground, so he could only run quickly towards the corner of the wall, which was supposed to be the blind spot of the high-powered crossbow.

For the nobles of Gaia, the Guardian Crossbow is nothing unusual.

Long ago, this powerful weapon powered by magic was invented and used on various battlefields.

By replacing different types of bolts, such as piercing, explosive, incendiary, etc., it can be extremely destructive and applicable. Whether it is a tough battle or a defensive battle, if one side is equipped with a certain number of high-energy magic crossbows, and the other side does not have a strong person in the legendary realm who can destroy it single-handedly, then it is almost equivalent to announcing the end of the war. Of course, this terrible weapon is not without weaknesses, and its biggest weakness is the cost and consumption.

Since it is powered entirely by magical power, its energy source relies only on high-purity magic crystals. At the same time, the cost of each crossbow arrow is also surprisingly high, and because of its great power, it often causes damage, and ordinary small countries and small families simply cannot afford it.

Seeing that the third crossbow arrow was ready to be fired, Leo couldn't help but smile wryly, although the arrow used against himself was definitely the worst quality and effect. But it was still more than enough to break through one's highest-level defensive magic, and it couldn't be made without hundreds or thousands of gold coins.

For this selection competition, the college really invested a lot of money.

And because of his mental preparation, the third crossbow bolt still failed to cause damage to Leo, and at this time he finally reached the target position.

The feeling of being locked faded, and Leo glanced back, and sure enough, the magic power crossbow had disappeared from sight.

With a long sigh, he was about to ponder how to get inside the fortress. But just a few seconds later, the feeling of danger hit again. Sure enough, the fortress of the academy did not leave any hidden dangers for this so-called defensive blind spot.

Through the open network of spiritual power, this time, the danger came from above the head, and it was wide-ranging!

Knowing that there was no way to dodge, Leo could only compete with time for speed.

He recited the incantation at great speed. Almost instantly, the magic took effect. The Intermediate Energy Shield took effect, enveloping his entire body.

This spell is somewhat similar to the fire protection magic cast before, but it can protect against almost all types of attacks, but due to the lack of targeting, the overall effect is reduced considerably.

"Wow!"

Huge metal troughs flipped and hot oil poured over their pockets. If the magic had taken effect a third of a second later, Leo would have been burned to the ground.

"I ......"

Leo almost burst into a foul mouth. The hot oil didn't matter, as the energy shield could completely negate such a normal attack, and to his annoyance, there was something disgusting clearly mixed in the hot oil. The pungent stench came through the shield.

Seeing another metal trough filled with hot oil being driven by chains to the edge of the corner of the wall, Leo dared not stay here but to continue running.

With the appearance of his figure, a magical giant crossbow also appeared on another wall, and began to load the crossbow arrows, ready to fire.

"I've been running, is it possible to consume all the crossbow arrows?" Leo suddenly had this thought, "If it really succeeds, the academy will definitely be very painful......"

However, he quickly gave up on the idea, and he didn't have that much time to realize it.

There is no doubt that the walls around the fortress must have been equipped with magical crossbows, and even if they stand against the walls, this weapon can still be used to complete the attack at any angle. In other words, there is no ingenious way, facing the wall, you can only hard!

After a little recollection, Leo quickly got the data he wanted, and the interval between the two launches of the Greatbow was about 4.6 seconds. It's not fast, but it's quite terrifying for a weapon with such a powerful destructive power.

"I had to be on the wall in 2.6 seconds and leave two seconds so I had enough reaction time to do the evasion. ”

Leo took a deep breath and calmed his mind. The next move can be very dangerous, or even lead to outright elimination, so in the face of such a low-tolerance action, it is even more important to calmly keep every action and every decision accurate.

The long-term exercise made him quickly enter the state, and the whole person became a lot more relaxed.

The Void was ready, but it wasn't cast immediately. Leo's eyes were fixed on the Greatbow, and he needed a completed shooting cycle time.

"Buzz!"

The bolts were fired, heading straight for Leo. He didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, but suddenly moved forward.

The trajectory of the bolt was exactly as calculated, flying by Leo's cheek. The wind and the flames that burned on it almost tore his skin apart.

Leo didn't have time to care about this anymore, and the spell in his mouth was recited, and the Soaring Technique took effect.

His feet suddenly accelerated for takeoff, and his body flew upwards at once.

It's just that the level of the Aerial Technique is too low, and the flight speed itself is very slow, even if the initial speed of the take-off is added, it is still not satisfactory.

It took Leo two seconds to barely climb the ten-meter-high wall, and he decided that he had to learn a high-level flight magic as soon as possible.

Dispelling the uncontrollable aerial technique, Leo's feet finally set foot on the wall. He didn't dare to stop for the slightest, and moved quickly, trying to break free from the lock of the magic energy crossbow.

At this moment, the crossbow bolt had been quickly pushed into the shooting slot, and it was about to be fired, but fortunately, the width of the fence had reached five meters, which left enough space for Leo. (To be continued.) )
