Chapter 58 The master is gone (2)
Even if he is protected by defensive spells, Pei Renli is still in danger if he is attacked at close range. After all, he does not have any armor protection, not even the cheapest leather armor or cotton armor.
The speed was so fast that it greatly exceeded expectations. Fortunately, the daily practical combat lessons during this period were not in vain. Kaya would rush to Perenli's side to fight hand-to-hand every day. He also had a lot of corresponding experience.
He immediately stopped drawing the runes, held up the staff that was a mop pole with both hands, and pushed forward hard, trying to push away the enemy who was close to him.
This means that rune magic can terminate spell casting at any time. If the spell is cast by constructing a spell model, casual termination is likely to cause the spell's power to backfire.
Pei Renli's reaction was not unpleasant, and his choice was correct.
But with a flash of sharp light, the wooden stick in Pei Renli's hand split silently from the middle, and the long stick turned into two short sticks.
Moreover, the mage's armor, which was originally the last line of defense, broke apart as silently as a wooden stick and disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, the position has been dissolved!
Mage armor can also be regarded as a stance spell. Similar to magic missiles, it builds a translucent magic stance. The stance dissolving ability is specifically used to target stance.
At some point, the little maid, whose head only reached Pei Renli's neck, had a short knife in her hand. After cutting the stick and the mage's armor, she tiptoed toward Pei Renli's heart.
He has no armor, no defensive spells, and he is being approached as close as a lover!
At the critical moment, Pei Renli let go of the two useless short sticks and drew out the dagger from his waist as fast as he could in his life.
Since the little maid was more affectionate, Pei Renli didn't have to pose with the dagger she drew, and it was better to block the dagger's attack path.
There was a harsh sound of metal friction, and a layer of fine sparks exploded in front of Pei Renli. His dagger got stuck on the blade of the dagger from the side, less than 5 centimeters away from his chest!
But this was not the end. The little maid turned the dagger and tilted the attack path. There was a sharp stab and Pei Renli's dagger was flattened.
His dagger was broken by pinching, and the blade was uneven. Now it was good, only the hilt was left.
"Cause slander!"
The closest person to Perrenli was Fondar. The priest, who was also standing in the back row, was the last barrier to protect the mage. A layer of unpleasant negative energy rose up from his hammer, and he hit the little maid on the back of the head.
Compared to Alton and Gary who were further away, Von Dahl's help came just in time.
The little maid looked like she had eyes on her back. She was originally aiming at Pei Renli to launch a fierce attack, but she fell to the side a second before the hammer reached her body. She rolled over on her hands and just avoided the attack.
The hammer and the negative energy attached to it were all swept onto the table next to it that was filled with alchemy instruments, making a clanging noise.
Pei Renli, who finally had his hands free and had the opportunity to reprogram the runes, stared at the little maid running along the wall towards the ceiling again, and raised his hand and pointed:
"Ma Youfu strong acid arrow!"
A large handful of dark green acid flew out from his fingertips, shooting towards the target like a meteor chasing the moon.
But just like what I saw just now, this little maid who didn't know what she was was extremely flexible. The acid arrow just pierced the skirt of the maid's uniform, and then stuck to the wall with a bang.
It is not easy for a spell without tracking ability to hit such a flexible target, especially since the acid arrow still needs some time to fly in the air. This time is enough for her to change positions.
Alton reloaded the crossbow and pulled the trigger again without giving up. This time the crossbow was split from the middle by the dagger in the hand of the little maid. Alton's eyes widened as he watched.
Is there still such an operation?
Feng Daer, who was standing not far from Pei Renli, took the opportunity to quickly raise his shield:
"tracer!"
If the shining light ball shot from the shield hits, it will not only cause damage, but also leave a mark, making the next attack easier to hit, which is equivalent to its own guidance.
But the premise is 'if it hits'.
Just like Ma Youfu's acid arrow, the tracer bullet also missed, leaving only a flickering light spot on the ceiling.
Gary, who did not have any long-range means, could only hold up the kite shield and worry.
This is too flexible!
Magic missiles with tracking capabilities will be ignored, and targeted spells are easily dodged. Continuing to attack with spells is just a waste of precious magic power.
Pei Renli spent a lot of his magic power just on the door-sealing technique along the way. Although he had time to rest for a while, the remaining magic power could not be wasted casually.
Since a single target spell can't be used, it's better to blow them all up.
He opened the potion bag on his waist, quickly took out a stick of burning glue, and threw it at the moment when the little maid stopped briefly on the ceiling.
Spells can't hit it, and throwing something at it will certainly make it even more impossible to hit it directly.
But when the hot glue hit the ceiling and the test tube burst, the liquid inside came into contact with the air and exploded.
It was like a small fireball exploding from the ceiling, with flying flames and sticky fire glue spreading rapidly.
Alton and Gary, who were staying directly below, saw this and hurriedly retreated to the side. It was not like their faces were stuck with dripping fire glue, and their disfigurement was minor.
There is no large-scale AOE, and small-scale AOE damage is not easy to avoid just by being flexible. There are a lot of lace decorations on the little maid's apron, which is super flammable.
The splashing blazing glue stuck to it, and a string of sparks suddenly flew up. The little maid lost her flexibility as before and hurriedly put out the flames.
Fire glue is effective, which is good news. Pei Renli still has two bottles of fire glue and strong acid flat bottles in his potion bag. The same type of frost potion is completely unused, and there are five bottles left.
But Pei Renli and the others saw that the blazing glue was effective. Of course, the little maid herself also knew it best.
The whole person seemed to be pulled by a thread, leaping over the flames made by the hot glue in an incredible way. When Fondar, who was nearest, raised his shield to block the scorching temperature, the little maid was once again as fast as the wind.
Kill behind Pei Renli.
The sharp dagger was aimed at his neck, and Pei Renli had only turned halfway, so there was no way to block it!
——He didn’t intend to block either.
The lips that were slightly dry due to nervousness spat out three words:
"Fire Explosion!"
The left hand hidden under the cloak completed the last stroke of the rune at the same time, and a circle of roaring flames mixed with thunderous hazy explosions erupted from the hem of the cloak.
It is inevitable that you will fall into the trap if you don't know the details when you first meet. When you already know the opponent's extraordinary agility and speed, falling for the trap the second time is equivalent to falling into the same pit. This is of course impossible.
Pei Renli was weaving runes after Ma Youfu's acid arrow. Throwing blazing fire glue instead of using burning hands was also to prevent being approached.
Ring-shaped flames and shock waves rapidly advanced in all directions, and the shock waves and high temperature became a barrier to protect him.
Flame Explosion is a typical melee counterattack spell. There are also large Flame Explosions that are more powerful, but that is a D-level spell, and the cost is too high for the current Pei Renli.
She planned to chop it down with a single blow, but faced with the fierce flames and shock waves, the little maid could only quickly sheath the knife and do a backflip.
Whether it is a flaming explosion or a large flaming explosion, they all have a common disadvantage, that is, the flames spread toward a flat surface, so jumping up to avoid them is the best option.
However, the flames exploded too suddenly and the flames advanced too fast, so the little maid should have been injured.
The flames would only spread to a radius of two meters with Pei Renli as the center plate, and then disappear as if they had never appeared before. It just didn't affect Fondar who was not far away, and the distance was very accurate.
Therefore, magic is not just a matter of learning it. It requires a lot of practice and a flexible mind. Otherwise, you will just be a barbarian who can use magic.
The little maid who was affected by the flames hurriedly extinguished the flames on her body. Pei Renli noticed that her originally fair and lifeless skin seemed to be showing some signs of melting...
"She's afraid of fire!"
After hearing the reminder, Feng Daal rushed up and tried to stand between Pei Renli and the little maid, and immediately shouted:
"Fire weapons!"
His hammer burst into flames, more like a torch than a hammer.
The maid, who had been acrobatically dodging the attacks with the smallest possible range and incredible movements every time, jumped like a frightened cat when faced with the flaming weapon, and passed over the heads of Fondar and Perrenli.
That’s right! I’m just afraid of fire!
This reaction further confirmed that Pei Renli's guess was correct.
Alton threw away his dagger and hand crossbow, took out the spare torch from his backpack and lit it with the dripping hot glue. Gary simply rubbed the burning hot glue on the ground with his kite shield, and the torch and shield moved towards it one after another.
The little maid's escape route ran across it.
This forced her to quickly turn around and try to climb up to the ceiling like before.
But at this time, Pei Renli's spell was also completed:
"Burning Hands!"
Flames shot out from between his spread fingers, like a flamethrower, which had a much wider range than the fire glue.
No matter how flexible the target is, it is not easy to dodge ranged attacks, not to mention that Pei Renli waved his hand and threw the flames towards the escape route.
The flames instantly ignited the maid uniform. In the flames, everyone saw that she seemed to have melted. The skin all over her body turned into a viscous liquid, revealing the metal skin and frame underneath.
This picture reminds Pei Renli of the classic scene in The Terminator, but fear of fire does not seem to be fatal.
The sharp cold light pierced the flames of the Burning Hand, and a black shadow rushed straight towards Pei Renli without hesitation, probably because he caused the most damage.
But Feng Daer, who was standing in front of Pei Renli, was not blind. He raised the flaming hammer and jumped up and swung it hard.
Dwarves weigh about the same as humans, but are much shorter in stature. Their bodies are naturally extremely strong, and their strength and physique are much better than humans.
This is true for ordinary dwarves. As the priest of Moradin, the Soul Forger, Fondar may be more comfortable hitting people with a hammer than using spells. Of course, his power should not be underestimated.
The maid, who had shrunk several times, was hit in the thigh by a hammer. She flew out crookedly and hit the table on one side. The instruments and bottles placed on it were knocked down with a clanging sound.
"Scorching Ray!"
Three bright red blazing rays penetrated the body of the maid who was trying to get up. She fell softly as if struck by lightning, and the punctured wound ignited fire again. Amidst the crackling burning sound, there was an unpleasant smell like
The stench of burning rubber gradually spread.
