I saw a huge mysterious symbol suddenly appear out of thin air, and then exploded with a bang.

All the paladins and priests present who were not high enough in level and whose vitality was not strong enough were instantly struck by the invisible magic power, and their whole people fell into a state of sluggishness, unable to move, and unable to think.

The only thing they could do was to stand motionless, with the holes magnified to the extreme without exception.

"Stop him quickly! Don't let him chant any spells!"

Sir Kaidong roared and rushed forward first, wielding the golden sword with both hands to interrupt the opponent's spellcasting.

But the Lich had obviously been prepared for it, and instantly triggered the [Any Door] through the [Accidental Technique], teleporting directly to an unknown place on the spot.

While others were trying to locate themselves through the sound of chanting spells, the Lich had already completed the fourth level of [Advanced Invisibility], and also released phantom sound magic to confuse everyone's hearing.

Obviously, just from this smooth spellcasting, it is not difficult to tell that he has very rich combat experience and is not the kind of academic mage who stays in a tower or a secret base all day long to do research.

Under normal circumstances, when encountering a legendary spellcaster of this level, the paladin basically has no good solution.

But there are not only paladins present, there are also two high-level priests who are not affected by [Law: Shock].

One of them did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly released the eight-ring magic [Perception Position], while the other priest completed the anti-magic force field, which was also an eight-ring magic, at an extremely fast speed.

The former immediately locked the lich's position the moment the spell took effect, pointed at the dark corner not far away and shouted: "He's right there!"

"Leave it to me!"

The latter picked up the mace and rushed forward with a vigorous stride.

Due to the effect of the anti-magic force field, when he got close to the lich, the [Advanced Invisibility Technique] on the opponent's body immediately became ineffective. He was hit hard, and cracks like spider webs appeared on the hard skull.

Obviously, if the anti-magic field had not also eliminated the strengthening and buffing spells blessed by the priest, it is estimated that this would have knocked half of the Lich out.

But it doesn’t matter.

After all, he can still fight hand-to-hand without the blessing of divine power, but a lich is basically useless if he can't cast spells.

Although the lich can also create significant negative energy damage and paralysis effects through touch, fools all know that the lich's touch radius is the length of its arm, which is much shorter than that of a person holding a weapon.

You may have to be hit several times before you even touch the other person.

Similarly, as the priest rushed forward, several paladins who could still move quickly followed up to surround the lich from all directions.

Seeing victory in sight, the members of the expedition team showed undisguised joy.

For them, being able to take down an extremely powerful Lich without any casualties is definitely a rare honor in their career.

But at the last moment, the lich suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a syllable.

The next second...

Boom!

The sarcophagus exploded without warning, and countless broken stone slabs and sharp stones flew in all directions.

Four or five paladins and priests who were too shocked to dodge were almost beaten to death or maimed on the spot.

Some had their entire heads forcibly smashed open, and their brains and eyeballs were mixed together and flowed all over the floor. Others died after sharp rocks were inserted into their eyes and their throats were slit.

Especially the priest, who had no protection at all in the anti-magic force field, was stabbed into his calf from behind by a sharp stone pillar that flew out sideways. He knelt on the ground and lost the ability to move on the spot.

All in all, the scene looked extremely bloody and violent.

The rest of the people were also more or less injured.

This sudden change not only caused disbelief to the members of the expedition team who were expected to win, but Sancho, who was hiding in the dark, was secretly glad that he did not rush up to confront him rashly.

With magic explosions and traps of this scale, he and Imoen would probably die immediately without any suspense given their small bodies.

When all the enemies were frightened by the damage caused by the sudden explosion of the sarcophagus, the Lich did not hesitate to stretch out his skeletal hand and pinch the priest's neck, releasing negative energy to kill him.

Instantly!

The antimagic field that contained his spellcasting disappeared.

"Not good!"

Sir Kaidong, who witnessed the death of his high-ranking priest, suddenly changed his expression. He endured the pain caused by his body being hit and pierced by stones, and he picked up his sword and wanted to rush forward to interrupt the chanting spell.
p>

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Just when the two-handed giant sword with dazzling golden light in his hand was about to hit the opponent's bones, the Lich completed the nine-ring magic [Stop Time].

In an instant, the colorful world around us turned into gray and white.

The Lich used two points of light in his eyes to inspect the locations of the enemies around him, then walked to one of the points calmly and started chanting a spell.

When the spell is completed, an energy bursts out of the body instantly, forming a ring visible to the naked eye in the air.

However, due to the effect of time stopping, this magic ring did not continue to spread outwards, but only stayed in the state of being newly activated.

【Mordencan's Great Disintegration】!

The Lich obviously intends to use this "Big Bankruptcy Technique" that scares countless people, to directly eliminate the remaining strengthening and protective magic on the paladins and priests, as well as the dangerous weapons and equipment in their hands.

After completing a nine-level spell, he obviously still had some time left, so he quickly released another nine-level spell [Rainbow Rainstorm].

At the moment when the spell takes effect, time stops and ends.

First, the energy ring formed by the great disintegration spread instantly, directly stripping away the enhancement and protective magic of the surrounding paladins and priests who were still able to move.

The magic equipment in the hands and bodies of some people also completely lost their effect.

The most typical example is that when Sir Kaidong's sword hit the Lich, it made a crisp sound like metal and then bounced away on the spot, leaving not even a white mark.

Obviously, without the [Holy Sword Skill] and the enchantment level of magic weapons, he would not be able to pose even the slightest threat to the powerful undead spellcaster in front of him.

What's even worse is that when [Rainbow Rainstorm] takes effect, the entire surrounding large area will be shrouded in the effect of rainbow light spells.

You must know that different magic effects will be produced based on the color itself, which is already quite scary for a team without a mage.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

However, [Rainbow Rainstorm] is different from other rainbow-type spells that are fixed after taking effect. It will also continuously change its color and affected area.

This means that even if you stand still, you may be shrouded in constantly changing rainbow lights of various colors, which will subsequently produce a series of effects such as damage with different energy attributes, immobilization, blindness, petrification, etc.<

/p>

The Lich, on the other hand, can easily swim in this rainbow light by virtue of its immunity characteristics of undead creatures and some energy damage protection spells, and even use short-distance teleportation to widen the distance and manipulate the crusade team at its fingertips.

Up.

Not only can he throw fireballs, lightning, magic missiles, death clouds, negative energy rays and other damaging magic from a long distance, but he can also use grease magic, spider web magic, black tentacles, immobilization and other movement-limiting magic to make opponents move.

No.

Anyway, you can play however you want, without giving you the slightest chance to get close to you.

There is no doubt that this ancient legendary lich vividly demonstrates how high-level spellcasters should cast spells and fight when facing enemies who restrain themselves.

Although those high-level priests all possess powerful magical arts such as [Sunfire Explosion] and [Destruction Weapon] that can instantly destroy undead creatures, the Paladin's [Holy Sword Technique] can also cause astonishing damage.

But he relies on the flexibility and changeability of arcane magic, so that the other party cannot take advantage of his own advantages and can only be led by the nose.

Wait until the time is right to reverse the disadvantage by detonating the sarcophagus, and finally win the victory with the sufficient casting time obtained by [Time Stop].

It can be said that the entire battle process is linked to each other, bringing the mage's unique precision calculation and prediction to the extreme.

Hiding under the stairs and watching this wonderful play from beginning to end, Sancho and Imoen only felt that their eyes were opened. It turns out that arcane magic can be played like this.

As more and more members of the expedition team fell into coma, shock and suspended animation due to serious injuries, Sancho realized that it was his turn to take action.

I saw him first exchanging glances with the other three teammates, and then immediately used the super magic skill - Silent Spell, to bless himself with several protective spells, and then used a highly effective three-ring spell [Advanced Strike against the Undead]

】Kicked off the raid.

Since the Lich was busy finishing up the dying team, he didn't expect that there would be another wave of enemies hidden under the spiral staircase behind.

As a result, he was hit by positive energy on the spot, and half of his body was shattered with a bang.

You must know that although the level of [Advanced Combat Undead] is only three levels, the damage effect will continue to increase as the casting level increases (each casting level causes 1D8 damage).

Moreover, Sancho also used a metamagic skill - spell maximum effectiveness, which means that the spell will automatically reach the theoretical damage limit.

With his current spellcasting level, as long as the undead creature has no magic resistance, blessing, absorption, or rebound magic, even the legendary lich will lose half of its life in an instant.

"Get on the magic missile! Don't give him any chance to concentrate on casting spells!"

Sancho succeeded in the sneak attack and shouted at the girl behind him without looking back.

"Understood!"

Imoen had already cooperated with this "little brother" more than once in previous adventures, and was already familiar with it, and completed the release of a magic missile with fast movements.

In the blink of an eye, several glowing force field missiles were shot out from the fingertips, hitting the Lich, destroying his attempt to add protective spells to himself.

Obviously, since the enemies he faced just now were all paladins and priests, the Lich did not give himself any protective magic such as shielding, spell absorption and rebound, so he suffered a big loss at the moment of the confrontation.
p>

Just when he was about to give some color to the two little ones in front of him, he suddenly found that he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth, let alone chant a spell.

Just tenths of a second later, Viconia left the protection of the invisibility magic, jumped out of the darkness, swung 4's skull-crushing mace, and struck a critical blow.
To be continued...
