Chapter 7: The Archmage of Light
With a "boom", a bucket-thick lightning bolt slammed into Elber's magic shield, and his nightmare finally became a reality, the lightning carried a very powerful divine magic element, but this blow had made his magic shield shake strongly. But at this time, Elber had no time to think about anything else, and he could only desperately inject energy into the magic shield. At this time, Elber no longer had the luxury of completing the task, he just wanted to survive this round of attacks and be able to get out of the way!
Lightning carried the liliang of divine magic, and kept falling on Elber's magic shield. The magic shield formed by Elber's black mist became thinner and thinner, and his figure had completely appeared in front of everyone. When the soldiers of the Royal Guard saw the scene in front of them, they all clenched their weapons in their hands, and they waited for Elber's magic shield to be scattered, and rushed to tear apart this guy who had mutilated his brother!
At this point, Elber already knew very well in his heart that he must be in a catastrophe this time! But he was by no means willing to let himself fall here like this, and he must avenge his nephew today! In an instant, he made an inhuman decision!
Elber's magic shield was finally scattered. Unhindered lightning struck Elber's body continuously, causing him to jump on the ground like a doll. The archers also kept shooting arrows in their hands, and the moment the lightning stopped, Elber was completely turned into a hedgehog!
The battle was over, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief! But I don't know weishenme, Bilbom looked at Elber in front of him, but felt that he had not been completely wiped out, but he couldn't tell for a moment that he would feel like this.
Just as Bilbom was wondering, black flames suddenly burst out of Elber's wound, and then Elber's whole body burned, and the arrows on his body were turned to ashes by these flames in the blink of an eye. BilBom felt that Elber's soul was suddenly full of life, and Elber actually stood up slowly. His body gradually grew larger, and Zuihou turned out to be a giant fire man five or six meters tall!
"Let's go!" Bilbohm didn't know that Elber had changed, but he was sure that Elber had not been destroyed, but had become stronger and more dangerous!
"Haha, stupid human, endure the baptism of the Demon Flames to your heart's content!" 'Elber' laughed wildly with open arms. With this movement, the soldiers standing next to 'Elber' turned into a humanoid torch, and suddenly they burned, but the flames on their bodies were all black!
"Fire Demon!" Bilbo realized at this time that in order to save his life, Elber actually summoned the Demon Domain Fire Demon Possession at the cost of the souls he had gathered at the Zuihou juncture!
Legend has it that the Demon Domain is the birthplace and gathering place of the negative emotions of all living creatures, and it is full of murder and evil! All the pleasures of the creatures living there are based on destruction and torture, and senseless blood and killing are the only themes of the Demon Domain! The legendary Demon Domain is dozens of times larger than the Youlan Continent, but the number of creatures there is less than one percent of the Youlan Continent! There is no difference between day and night in the Demon Domain, only a blood-red luminous body hangs in the air forever, showing the horror of the Demon Domain! The status of the Fire Demon in the Demon Domain is not high, but being able to survive in such a terrifying place is enough to show the strength of his strength, he at least has the strength of the Holy Rank!
Every time a creature from the Demon Domain appears in the human society, it will bring great disasters to the human race! Elber is completely mad, he actually does not hesitate to summon such a devil to the Youlan Continent for the sake of his so-called hatred!
"Spread out!" Bilbohm reminded Higgins, ready to urge the horses to get out of here as quickly as possible.
"Haha, you can't go!" the fire demon waved his hand, and a raging fire broke out around the carriage, encircling the three of Bilbohm.
In fact, the fire demon didn't care about the life and death of Bilbom and the others. But since Elber's only condition for summoning him was to kill these three men, he had to fulfill his promise, or he would not be able to completely occupy Elber's body. It was for this reason that he stopped Bilbohm and the carriage.
"Jenny, I'm trying to open a gap, and you rush out with Ed through the gap!" said Bilbohm as he pulled out a magic scroll.
"Stormy seas!" Bilbot tore open the magic scroll and threw it in front of the carriage, then headed for the fire demon. He hoped to be able to hold back the fire demon for a while, so that Jenny and his brother could have more time to escape.
The monstrous waves that rose from the ground smashed hard into the ring of fire around the carriage, and a gap appeared in the circle of fire. Jeanne did not dare to delay, whipping the horse and rushing out along the gap.
At the same time, Bilbot activates his magic shield to block the fire demon and begins to prepare for more powerful magic.
"None of you can run!" The fire demon didn't know when there was an extra fire whip tens of meters long in his hand, and with a shake of his arms, the fire whip pulled out a deep furrow in front of Jenny's carriage. He then gave three more lashes, enclosing the carriage in a deep ditch and completely blocking the route of escape.
Bilbom didn't think much of it, and unleashed the haode magic he had just prepared.
"Turning over the river and the sea!" The surroundings of the fire demon instantly turned into an ocean, and only the land under the fire demon's feet remained. The sea water constantly wants to engulf the fire demon, and a wall of water more than ten meters high has been formed around it, but it just can't drown the fire demon! And as the fire demon keeps waving the fire whip in his hand, the surrounding water potential actually slowly calms down.
It was the first time that Bilbom had seen his magic cracked like this, and he didn't know what to do for a while!
"Humble humans, how dare you try to stop the noble fire demon, get out of the way!" the fire demon waved the fire whip at Bilbom after cracking Bilbom's magic.
"Smack!", although Bilbom was protected by a magic shield, he was still pulled aside by the fire demon. As Bilbohm fell to the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he struggled a few times but couldn't get up.
When Jenny saw Bilbom's tragic condition, her eyes were full of determination, and she drew the sword at her waist and calmly stood in front of the carriage.
The fire demon swung the fire whip again, and slammed it the carriage's defensive array, which had been very stable just now, and shook violently. The fire demon barely stopped for a moment, and the second whip fell.
"Smack!" The defensive array was scattered, and the fire whip fell directly on the carriage, if it wasn't for Jenny raising her sword in time to block it, this whip would have cut the carriage open directly. But the whip also completely made Jenny lose her resistance, and she fell to the ground, unable to lift her arms. When Li Zijun saw this scene, he knew that it would be difficult for him to escape from Ascension this time, so he simply walked off the station and walked next to Jenny.
"Haha, you should die!" the fire demon's whip swung towards Jenny's siblings, and Jenny and Li Zijun's eyes showed despair.
Just when everyone thought that the Jenny siblings were going to die, a white light suddenly rose behind them, enveloping them. The fire whip that was still fierce before actually stopped when it touched this soft white light, and the flame slowly extinguished, and the fire whip disappeared like this!
The speed of the white light was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the fire demon was surrounded by it, and the fire demon stopped retreating. It is very strange that the flames that have not been extinguished under the huge waves more than ten meters high, under the illumination of the white light, the fire light on the fire demon's body has dimmed, and it looks like it may be extinguished at any time.
"Who are you?weishenme is going to fight against the great fire demon?aren't you afraid of the boundless wrath of the fire demon?" Although the fire demon said extremely arrogantly, his tone still made the people around him hear a little nervousness.
"Don't think that no one here knows your identity, so you can brag about yourself here! The Fire Demon is not a great character in the Demon Domain at all, even in the Youlan Continent, you are not an invincible character! I advise you to hurry back to the Demon Domain, otherwise you will never see the Blood Sun of the Demon Domain again!" At this time, the flames around the carriage had been completely extinguished, and a person walked out from behind the carriage and blocked in front of the Jenny siblings.
"Archmage Kaye, how could he be here?" Higgins immediately recognized the man, and couldn't help but have a hint of doubt in his heart.
"Who the hell are you, how do you know about the Demon Domain?" the fire demon saw Kaye get more and more nervous.
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that the Youlan Continent is not where you should be!
"You don't have to scare me! no one in the Youlan Continent can deal with me, I'll let you see how powerful the Fire Demon is now!" As he spoke, the Fire Demon threw a huge fireball that he had secretly prepared at Kaye.
"I can't do it!" Kaye said as he looked at the fire demon with contempt, he didn't even use a magic shield, but just held out a hand to the fireball. The huge fireball stopped less than two meters away from Kaye, as if it had encountered some obstacle, and could not take another half step forward. A white light suddenly shot out from Kaye's palm, and the huge fireball was actually extinguished!
Higgins couldn't have imagined that the usually kind Archmage Kaye had such a strong strength, and hope rose in his heart at this moment, he hoped that Archmage Kaye could destroy this monster covered in fire!
The Fire Demon was even more nervous when he saw Kaye's performance. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly opened his arms and raised his head to the sky and roared. At this moment, the fire demon's body seemed to have become larger again, and the flames on his body had regained their vigor. With everything ready, the fire demon strode towards Kaye. Seeing the fire demon's performance, everyone's hearts were lifted again.
Kaye was a pitifully small compared to the Fire Demon in terms of size, but Kaye didn't show the slightest panic in the face of the Fire Demon's approach, and he walked over to the Fire Demon. Kaye didn't seem to see the pit under his feet, so he walked straight over, Li Zijun was about to remind Kaye, but found that Kaye actually walked over on the pit like this, which made Li Zijun secretly surprised!
The Fire Demon and Kaye took a few steps opposite each other and stopped together. The fire demon put his mouth on top of Kaye's head, spewing black flames. The flames distorted the air around him, and the flames covered the skinny Kaye.
There was a terrible silence on the battlefield, and all eyes were on the fire demon's mouth, and they could only guess if Kaye was still alive by the fire that continued to spew out of the fire demon's mouth. The flames of the fire demon continued, and people couldn't help but wonder how long Kaye would be able to hold out.
Just when everyone was worried about Kaye's safety, the flames in the fire demon's mouth suddenly began to crack, and white light burst out from these cracks, while the flames in the fire demon's mouth became weaker and weaker.
With a "boom", Kaye reappeared in people's sights, and he didn't know when there was a giant sword formed entirely of white light in his hand. Kaye held the sword, which was so different in size, and stabbed it into the fire demon's chest.
The fire demon showed a panicked expression in the face of this extremely slow sword, and he kept slapping the lightsaber with his arm, but it couldn't stop the lightsaber from stabbing into his body.
"Ahh
Then Elber appeared in front of the people again, and before everyone could see Elber's appearance, he suddenly melted quickly like a lit candle, and only a black bead faintly glittered with golden light was left where Zuihou was standing.
It was only then that the surroundings really fell silent, but the frightened warriors still did not dare to move their bodies casually, for fear of causing some unnecessary changes again. They all stood still, staring at Kaye dumbfounded, hoping to get the news of safety from him.
"Warriors, the demons have been slain! we have won!" Kaye regained his inflamed smile at this time.
With Kaye's announcement, the group of soldiers who had escaped death erupted in a terrifying cheer.
Kaye took a few steps forward, picked up Elber's orb, and turned to Jenny and Li Zijun. He flicked a bullet of light into Jenny's body, and Jenny was stunned for a moment, and immediately noticed that her injuries were rapidly recovering. In a few breaths, Jenny has fully recovered!
"Xiexie, Archmage Kaye!" Jenny also understood that Kaye was saving herself, and she hurriedly got up and thanked Kaye.
At this time, the members of the Royal Guard helped Bilbom to his feet. Although the whip of the fire demon just now beat Bilbom hard, but fortunately his magic shield was not broken, and after a period of pranayama, Bilbom walked slowly with the help of others. He came to Kaye with Higgins to thank Archmage Kaye.
Kaye smiled and waved at everyone, and Zuihou fixed his gaze on Lee Zi-jun's face.
"You're the one who loves Ledlaide, aren't you?" Kaye asked kindly, looking at him as he looked at him.
Hearing that Kaye valued her brother so much, Jenny hurriedly introduced Kaye's identity to Li Zijun.
"Yes, I'm Edred Lee. Thank you so much this time, Archmage Kaye, if it weren't for your timely intervention, we would all be in danger. On behalf of the Li family, please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to you!" Li Zijun gave Kaye the most solemn salute of a nobleman! He was full of gratitude to the archmage who had saved him.
"It is the duty of our Cult personnel to destroy necromancers and demonic monsters, so please don't worry too much about it!" Kaye said with a modest wave of his hand.
"Edward, I had a relationship with Earl Acheson, and you can call me Uncle Kaye if you wish. ”
"Hello, Uncle Kaye!" With the favor of such a great god, Li Zijun certainly would not let go of the opportunity to make friends with him, and immediately bowed deeply to Archmage Kaye and saluted him respectfully.
"You're okay! This time I was supposed to go to Yi'er Town to preach, and I didn't bring anything with me, so this soul bead is given to you, so I should take it as my meeting gift!" Kaye was very happy to see Li Zijun so well-behaved, and casually handed the bead he had just picked up to Li Zijun.
Li Zijun was full of fear of this bead made of Elber, and originally wanted to refuse Kaye's gift. But he overheard Higgins, Bilbohm, and Jenny all looking surprised when they heard Kaye's words. Bilbohm and Jenny also kept hinting at Li Zijun's gift with their eyes! Although Li Zijun didn't understand what their specific intentions were, he knew very well that these two people would never hurt him.
"Uncle Xiexie, Kaye!" Li Zijun stubbornly took the soul bead into his hand.
"Archmage Kaye, where are you going?" After today's events, Higgins has long lost confidence in whether he can send Edlaide back to the Seine Peninsula safely! As a general, Higgins is not afraid of any opponent who will attack him head-on. But there really wasn't much he could do about an enemy like Elber hiding in the corner. He sincerely hoped that Kaye would be able to go with his group, so that even if they ran into someone like Elber again, they would not be as helpless as they were today!
"I was invited to come to evangelize by the town of Il, but I didn't expect this to happen. If I had arrived here sooner, maybe they wouldn't have been killed by the devil Elber. I'm going to stay here and bury the villagers, so that they can have a real rest!" Kaye's tone was filled with compassion and regret.
"After the matter here is settled, I am ready to return to the capital. ”
"Archmage Kaye, don't blame yourself too much, it's not your responsibility for this! If you hadn't rescued him in time, we would have been poisoned by him!" Listening to Kaye's words, Higgins was a little regretful, but he still admired Kaye's broad and humble mind very much. Seeing Kaye's expression a little lost, Higgins couldn't help but sigh with relief beside him.
Kaye sighed and said nothing, waved goodbye to everyone, and walked towards Ill alone.
Higgins hesitated, but sent a small group of soldiers to stay behind to assist Archmage Kaye in dealing with the affairs of Eir. In good conscience, Higgins doesn't have the slightest affection for these villagers who have hurt their brothers. Although he also knew that the villagers were also victims of today's incident, he just felt uncomfortable in his heart. If it weren't for Kaye's face, he would have had the corpses of these villagers burned to ashes, along with a fire in the town of Il! Now he could only sigh and send people to treat the wounded and collect the brothers who died in battle.
"Uncle Bill, Second Sister, when you saw Archmage Kaye give me this bead just now, weishenme had that expression? Is this bead very precious?" While everyone around him was busy, Li Zijun secretly took out the bead and asked in a low voice.
"It's more than precious, it's priceless!" said Bilbohm, with a little envy.
"Necromancers imprison the souls of the dead in their bodies and obtain liliang by refining souls. Over time, a thing similar to the Demon Beast Core will form in the necromancer's body, and a large number of souls will gather in it. People are used to calling them 'soul beads', which is the thing you have in your hands right now. Because of the existence of the soul bead, in principle, the necromancer no longer belongs to the human race!"
"The strength of that necromancer just now is close to the realm of the Necromancer, and the soul liliang contained in his body is very powerful! At the same time, because he summoned the fire demon of the holy rank strength at the Zuihou moment, and the fire demon was destroyed by the Kaye archmage, this soul bead is inevitably contaminated with the fire demon's liliang, which also makes the role that this soul bead can play in the future even greater!"
"Uncle Bill, what kind of help can this soul bead bring me?" Li Zijun asked a little anxiously.
"As long as you carry the soul bead with you, it can greatly increase your spiritual power, and because of the powerful soul liliang contained in the soul bead, it can increase the concentration of the surrounding magic elements, so that the speed at which you absorb the magic elements will increase several times! At the same time, because the fire demon has coincided with Elber just now, I guess you should be immune to the attack of fire magic with this soul bead." You can explore and experiment with this on your own in the future. ”
"Anyway, kid, you really picked up the treasure this time! I really don't know how Archmage Kaye took a fancy to you? I envy your good luck!" Bilbot was happy for Li Zijun to get this precious treasure, and slapped him on the shoulder. This action caused Bilbohm's internal injuries, and he grinned in pain.
"Since this thing is so precious, then Archmage Weishenme of Kaye wants to give it to me? In his capacity, there is no need to talk to me as a marquis, but what should he do about it?" Li Zijun asked as he looked at Bilbom and Jenny, puzzled.
Both Bilboy and Jenny shook their heads and said they couldn't think of a reason, but Li Zijun noticed a hint of panic in Jenny's eyes, as if she had guessed something. It's just that Jenny doesn't want to say it, and Li Zijun can't continue to ask.
It took more than half a day for the Royal Guard to finish bandaging the wounded members and at the same time collect all the comrades who died in battle. After counting the losses in this battle, Higgins almost cried directly. Of the 700 members of the Royal Guard, 83 were killed and 92 seriously wounded, and more than half of the members were wounded. Fifteen Ouchi guards also lost two!
In this attack, both the royal guards and the Ouchi guards suffered heavy losses, and the most terrifying thing was that there were also necromancers. Higgins did not dare to hide such a situation, and immediately sent someone to report everything that happened here to the imperial court quickly. It's just that this time he didn't wait for the order of the imperial court in place, and through this second attack, Higgins also guessed something, and he didn't want to give the other party more opportunities to shoot. After a brief day of rest, Higgins left a small team to care for the seriously wounded and dead, and he protected Ed as he continued on his way.
