Chapter 205 The Mad Mage’s Apprentice(2/4)
"Come on. I don't want to meet that crazy woman and her crazy and evil men again."
The halfling thief Korra panted and rolled her eyes angrily.
No need to ask, she knew that this layer of well-equipped dark elves was starting to feel a bit overwhelming for her.
After all, dark elves are not only very good at sneaking and ambush, but they are also extremely alert.
If you are not careful during the investigation, you will be discovered, and then you will be surrounded and surrounded by danger.
Just when the dwarf was about to say something, the huge spider statues standing on both sides suddenly came to life and pounced directly on the resting team.
"Be careful!"
The poet was the first to notice this scene and quickly got up from the ground and loudly reminded everyone.
Just as he was about to approach Zuo Si to protect the most important caster in the team, he immediately discovered that the entire hall was separated by an invisible force field wall.
You don’t need to ask to know that this is the five-ring magic [Power Wall Technique] at work.
In desperation, the poet could only move closer to the dwarves and halfling thieves in the same area.
Davian, on the other hand, held a shield and a flaming sword to block the attack of one of the animated spider statues.
"Come out, I know you are there."
Zuo Si raised his head and stared at the corner of the ceiling about ten meters high.
Although the opponent tried to hide himself with [Advanced Invisibility Technique], he was easily seen through by [True Seeing Technique].
"You actually saw through my [Advanced Invisibility Technique]?"
Accompanied by a slightly deep male voice, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from above the head and landed steadily on the left side of the hall with a thud.
Through the faint light, everyone could clearly see the true face of the attacker.
This is a strange creature with a human upper body and hands, and a lower body completely grafted onto a giant scorpion.
He was holding a two-handed sword with a cold light in his hand. He looked like he should be a warrior, but he wore at least two magic rings on his fingers and a wand on his waist.
"A talking monster?"
The dwarf attacked the spider statue under his shield with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
"No! This guy is not a monster, but a warrior and apprentice once hired by Halaster Black Robe. His name is Mural, a very high-level warrior and mage." Zuo Si said expressionlessly.
Correction.
Long before he planned to come to Leyline Maze City, he had already collected all the information related to the "Crazy Mage".
Especially those apprentices of Halaster Blackrobe.
"Hahahaha! I can't believe that there are still people in this world who remember me. Young man, you have won yourself a chance to live. Now, I will give you two choices. One is to become my apprentice, and the other is to help me.
Drive away and kill all the dark elf families that have invaded this level - the Evaands."
Mural laughed and made the conditions.
It can be seen from the weird eyes and mental state that he has long been like the "Crazy Mage", and his sanity has been eroded by the magic network nodes for a long time and has become extremely abnormal.
"You are really arrogant. Do you think you will win?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully.
"What, do you want to have a spell duel with me?"
Mural put away his giant sword and moved his ten fingers eagerly.
Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, although it's a bit hurtful to say this, I still want to tell you that there will not be any spell duel, there will only be a unilateral crushing of you by me."
As the last word blurted out, he directly activated the magic card [Bigby Flying High Five] hidden under his wide sleeves.
The next second...
Bang!
Bang!
This half-human, half-scorpion guy flew out sideways and hit the wall not far away.
Instantly!
[Trigger Technique] Activate!
A layer of gray-white stone skin instantly covered the huge body.
Obviously, Mural set his [Trigger Spell] condition to be attacked, and the chain spell is the fourth-level [Stoneskin Spell].
As a warrior and mage, this protective magic can give you an advantage in close combat.
It's a pity that it is of no use at all now.
Zuo Si didn't even let Davian rush forward to suppress the opponent, but casually threw out four powerful fireball cards.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by the terrifying white fire and explosion, Mural was swallowed up by heat exceeding thousands of degrees Celsius on the spot.
Although Stoneskin can effectively resist physical attacks, it is of no use against this kind of pure energy damage.
Under the severe pain, he had no choice but to activate the [anti-magic force field] in the magic storage ring in his hand, instantly making all magic completely ineffective against him.
Of course, the price for doing this is that he can no longer use any spells, potions, scrolls or other magic items, and even the stone skin spell on his body has faded.
"Good judgment. It seems that the mad mage's apprentice is not without merit." Zuo Si commented with raised corners of his mouth.
Because if the opponent had not used [Anti-Magic Field] just now, then he would have used the numerous spell cards at hand to directly bomb him to death.
But now, we need to change our strategy a little bit.
"Damn you kid! I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing the severely burned and even carbonized parts of his body, Mural's anger was completely ignited, and he rushed over with a sword in both hands.
Because he is half human and half scorpion, he not only possesses a sharp magic weapon, but also has a poisonous tail stinger behind his butt.
It is precisely by relying on this [anti-magic force field] and hand-to-hand combat tactics that Mural can kill those high-level mages and priests again and again, and repel the dark elf family-Evand's attack on the tenth floor.
Invasion.
But it's a pity that this time he obviously chose the wrong opponent.
Zuo Si knew that the anti-magic force field could eliminate all magic effects, so he directly chose to summon creatures.
Before Mural could get within five meters, an elemental creature whose entire body was made of hot magma appeared out of thin air, completely blocking his path like a wall.
Boom!!!!!
As soon as the giant lava element appeared, he immediately smashed it with his fist.
It is different from the powerful attack method of stone elements that crush everything.
Since its body is in a semi-liquid state, when it is punched down with a fist, it will instantly turn into hot magma and scatter in all directions.
Although Mularny decisively retreated several meters with his keen sense of danger, his body was still stained by large amounts of magma that splashed over, and he could not help but let out a painful wail.
If his transformation into a half-human, half-scorpion form had not greatly improved his vitality and magic resistance, he would have been seriously injured and fell to the ground by now.
"You want to use an anti-magic force field to deal with me? You are really naive! And because of the existence of the anti-magic force field, you can no longer use any spells. You can only fight with me in this not-so-spacious half of the hall.
The giant lava element is trying its best. The so-called cocoon is probably a similar situation."
Zuo Si sneered and filled the room with ridicule.
The antimagic field lasts ten minutes per caster level.
This means that once released, with Mural's spellcasting level, it will last for at least two hours.
It is almost equivalent to personally destroying your mage level and all the magic items in your body.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Because if the anti-magic field had not been used, Mural would have been bombarded to death by a massive amount of spells just now.
But if he uses it, a large number of summoned creatures will be waiting for him.
It's nothing more than choosing a way to die that you like, there is no essential difference.
Although Mural can make the anti-magic field disappear by canceling it voluntarily.
But he has been entangled by the giant lava element. Once the anti-magic force field is cancelled, he will immediately be bombarded by violent spells. He will have no time to chant spells and no time to perform those complicated spell-casting actions.
So I could only barely maintain the anti-magic force field, and wave my weapons desperately to try to break through the blockade of the giant monster in front of me.
Zuo Si could finally see that none of the apprentices like the "Crazy Mage" Halaster Black Robe were normal people.
In other words, all normal people are dead.
The rest, without exception, went crazy under the influence of the magic network node.
It’s just that some are more obvious, while others seem normal, but in fact their thoughts and cognitions have undergone changes that ordinary people cannot understand.
It is said that some apprentices successfully escaped from Leyline City, but in the end they returned inexplicably.
It is difficult to tell whether this is because Halaster Blackrobe used some kind of powerful charm suggestion magic on him, or whether he was summoned by the magic network node.
As the lord of the tenth floor of Leyline City, Mural has obviously never suffered such humiliation. In addition, the attack of the lava element caused the temperature of the surrounding environment to rise rapidly. His entire face suddenly turned red, and his eyes were bulging.
To be continued...
