Chapter 368 Night Attack (Part 2)

Even in the safe City Lord's Mansion, Pei Renli still did not take it lightly, but in fact, even he himself thought it was impossible. After all, this was a place patrolled by guards 24 hours a day, so the killer would not be so stubborn.

——However, he is so stubborn.

Pei Renli immediately patted the wall on the side of the balcony:

"Grease Technique!"

A large amount of dark green grease appeared along with the magical aura and flowed down the wall and the ivy on the wall, causing several people to fall directly.

It was unexpected but it did not prevent him from taking countermeasures.

Then Pei Renli took a deep breath:

"Come quickly! There are assassins!"

Amplified by magic, his voice was like a sudden thunder in the dark night. Standing on the balcony, you could see the lights of the houses in the distance turning on again, and you were probably woken up.

The grease technique does work, but it is not 100% effective, and it takes time for the thick grease to flow away.

The assassins who were located slightly lower saw this and jumped on the ivy next to them. The castle in Juniper City was very green, so there were plenty of places to catch them.

Also attracted by Pei Renli's voice were his companions. When he saw Anna about to open the glass door of the balcony to see the situation, he immediately shouted:

"Go back and keep an eye on Miaojie!"

Anna's hand retracted slightly from the electric shock, probably to wake up Miaojie and Cosette.

At this time, Pei Renli felt a sound of wind coming from below. As soon as he turned around, he saw a man in black jumping onto the balcony, and a specially painted black dagger was aimed at his head.

It is very troublesome for a mage to be attacked at close range, because even a skilled mage takes time to release protective spells, and a powerful mage may be knocked down by a kitchen knife if he is not careful.

But this is also why mages carry a bunch of magic items with them.

The shield brooch on Pei Renli's chest suddenly lit up, and the spherical translucent magic shield quickly expanded. The sharp dagger immediately slipped when it hit the spherical shield, causing the assassin who exerted too much force to stagger.

.

Pei Renli raised his hand and slapped the assassin on the chest:

"Magic Missile!"

The magic missiles erupted at extremely close range could not be deflected, and all the impact hit the assassin.

As if he had been punched away, he rose from the balcony to the sky, and then landed hard with a bang under the influence of gravity.

The assassin who jumped up immediately saw a brass staff lying in front of him. With two bangs, two more assassins fell down.

This thing might be better used as a stick than a staff.

But if Pei Renli can't come here, why not go to the other side?

The assassin who looked straight at Pei Renli was just attracting attention. When he turned around, he saw several people already standing on the balcony next door, kicking open the balcony door from the front.

"Shadow Evocation: Blast!"

Shaking open a scroll, a black energy ball was launched from Pei Renli's fingertips, hitting an assassin's waist almost in the blink of an eye. The huge impact of the stance spell caused an unpleasant crunch to the waist of the hit guy.

The sound made him hit his own people as if they were hit by a truck, and three of them were immediately thrown off the balcony.

However, Heavy Impact is a single-target spell after all, and it cannot hit everyone like a bowling ball.

The environment has a great influence on Pei Renli. If he were in the wild, he would have greeted each other with a fireball spell.

Just as he was about to use Burning Hand again, Pei Renli felt as if a heavy object hit him. The sudden impact made him half-kneeling on the ground, and of course he couldn't cast the spell.

He looked back and found that an assassin had jumped on him at some point. At this time, he was furiously outputting the shield technique protecting Pei Renli. After a while, dazzling cracks appeared on the spherical shield.

Pei Renli came out in a hurry. He didn't wear the wizard's hat called Thousand Eyes and came out with the staff. Otherwise, he would not be attacked by the assassin.

Because he was pressed down by someone, it was difficult for Pei Renli to write runes in this position, and even touching the scroll was extremely difficult.

"Rapid Light Arrow!"

The effect of the magic item is the fastest. I reluctantly moved the tip of the staff and aimed it at the assassin who was doing crazy output. As a result, the opponent was more flexible than expected. He twisted his waist as if he had no bones and avoided the lightning arrow.

This situation is very troublesome. Pei Renli planned to try to smash it randomly with the staff a few times to give himself a chance to weave runes. But before he could do it, he saw a barbarian coming from his room, Camille roaring.

charge.

As a warrior, Kemir is very qualified. He has no shortcomings and is certainly not weak in strength.

Unexpectedly, there was someone hiding in the room. The assassin was caught off guard and was knocked into by Camille. Immediately afterwards, he felt tightly hugged by a pair of arms, which forcibly tore off Pei Renli's shield technique.

Throw it under the balcony.

However, since Kemir had not yet fully recovered, he exerted a little too much force and almost fell off the balcony. Perrenli hurriedly grabbed the belt used to hang his sword and pulled him back.

At about the same time, a crossbow arrow flew past the edge of Camille's hair and cut off a bunch of his bangs.

After such a delay, several assassins had already kicked open the balcony door and entered Miaojie's room next to her.

But Miaojie is not a lamb to be slaughtered. At least Anna and Cosette are still there to guard her.

"Hurricane Arrow!"

A gust of wind flew out from behind the kicked-open balcony door, and several men in black were also blown out, shattering the plaster decoration on the balcony railings. Then Anna held the Elf Curved Blade and stepped forward to chop left and right.

kill.

Rangers don't just know how to shoot arrows, they also have decent melee combat capabilities.

I didn't see Cosette take action, but it wasn't Cosette paddling. In this case, it was necessary to ensure that at least one person stayed by Miaojie's side to prevent someone from sneaking around and stabbing Miaojie while everyone was fighting on the front line.

You can see a layer of warm aura faintly emanating from Anna's back. It is most likely that Cosette used a special protection spell like the Holy Domain.

Perrenli dragged Kemir into the balcony. He could already hear the shouts of guards and the sound of uniform footsteps in the distance. If he persisted for a while, someone would come to rescue him.

But he raised his head and looked in the direction where he had just fired the crossbow at Kemir, and noticed a figure on the roof flashing past in a very alert manner.

Magic requires a clear visual target before it can be used. The person ambushing above will retreat after shooting an arrow, and Pei Renli has no way to fight back.

After all, you can’t blow up the wall above your head, right?

It is estimated that this group of people may have invaded the castle from two directions. One group of people went up and another group went below. Once they were all in place, they attacked from up and down. They just accidentally triggered the magic alarm, otherwise they would have succeeded.

.

Pei Renli quickly stood up and swung a stick at the assassin who had climbed up again. The latter reacted quickly and reached out to grab Pei Renli's staff, intending to drag him down.

"Electric claw technique!"

The strong electric shock made the assassin fly away as if he had touched a high-voltage wire. Without even looking, Pei Renli quickly left a few flashing runes on his head with his backhand:

"Protect arrows!"

Almost at the same time that the spell was completed, a crossbow arrow hit Pei Renli, but the crossbow arrow slipped away under the effect of the protective arrow.

"Stay under the eaves, this is a blind spot for shooting."

This was said not only to Camille, but also to Anna.

Immediately, Pei Renli stepped on the balcony railing and jumped from it as if he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building.

The torn scroll fragments slipped away from his fingertips, and a purple light quickly lit up in the dark night, forming a beautiful magic circle.

A giant eagle flew out of the magic circle, and its strong claws grabbed Pei Renli's shoulders, causing him to fly up less than half a meter after falling freely.

If you don't know how to fly or levitate, you can only use this crude method.

The giant eagle did not rise vertically with Pei Renli stupidly, but drew a clear arc in mid-air, avoiding several arrows fired at it. When it turned towards the direction of the castle, Pei Renli could clearly see

On the wall above their room, there were about a dozen men in black holding vines with one hand and shooting crossbows with the other.

How many people are there in this gang?

There was no time to ponder this issue, Pei Renli immediately raised his staff.

Because his shoulders were grasped by the giant eagle, Pei Renli was unable to move freely, and could not even hold the scroll.

So after weaving a short rune with his fingers, a large dazzling colorful light shot out from the head of the staff, which made many assassins who were holding on to the vines fixed on the roof loosen their hands and fall from the top.

However, the assassins were not all passively beaten. One guy saw the opportunity when the giant eagle was approaching, jumped very boldly, and tried to hug Pei Renli, who was being carried by the giant eagle and flew away.

But Pei Renli was bolder than him, and actually let the giant eagle release its claws. The assassin naturally caught the enemy and plunged to the ground with the posture of the Philippine diving team.

If he does this, Pei Renli will naturally fall freely, and when he falls, the assassins on the roof and climbing below will fire crossbows at him.

But when he fell, a door of light appeared under his feet. Pei Renli fell into the door of light and his whole body was swallowed up.

At the same time, about twenty meters above his head, a light door opened, and along with the magic light surrounding him, the speed of free fall became the speed of falling feathers.

This operation sounds outrageous, but in fact it is just activating any spell in the magic storage tattoo. Ever since he got the magic storage tattoo, Pei Renli has not considered filling it with any spells other than any magic. This thing is really good.

Did it.

Standing high and equipped with protective arrows to resist crossbow arrows, Pei Renli immediately left flickering runes in the air. The number of runes showed that they must be powerful spells.

The assassin who was holding onto the vines on the roof tried to disperse, but after all, he was relying on the vines to hold himself in place, so he couldn't disperse fast enough.

"Icicle!"

With a raise of five fingers, the ultra-low temperature air-conditioning rushed towards the dispersing assassins like thick fog. For a moment, the sound of crackling ice could be heard. The temperature was rapidly dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had entered the cold winter from midsummer in the blink of an eye.

After a while, the cold fog dispersed a little, and many assassins remained motionless while holding on to the vines. The ivy became brittle due to rapid freezing, and broke under the influence of the weight. More than a dozen humanoid ice sculptures fell to the ground with a crackle.

A layer of blood-red debris is left.

"Over there! Quick! Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Although it is time-consuming to describe, in fact it has only been a minute since Perrenli issued the warning, and a large number of guards swarmed in with weapons and torches.

Although the assassins below the balcony were not affected by the ice cone, they knew that nothing could be done. They let go and jumped off the vines one after another. They were as nimble as rabbits. The towering walls outside the castle seemed as if they didn't exist. They could easily run two steps quickly.

Cross over.

Pei Renli's position was a little too high. He threw a spider web in the direction where the assassins were escaping, which might have covered one or two, but more assassins still disappeared into the night.
Chapter completed!
