Chapter 81 Nine Giant Eagles
Due to the appearance of those three people, Pei Renli always kept his perspective downward when controlling his secret eye, and tried his best to bring the surrounding scenery into his field of vision from a bird's eye view.
But in this way, the threat from directly above the head will be ignored, resulting in the arcane eye being shot down.
The swooping raptor is called a giant eagle. It is a level 15 monster with no unique abilities. It is basically an enlarged and enhanced version of the eagle.
But precisely because it is an enlarged and enhanced version, this thing's dive attack speed is very fast, and it is so powerful that it can pick up a person and fly it effortlessly.
Pei Renli immediately took a step back and leaned against the cliff behind him as much as possible.
With the size of the giant eagle, of course, space is needed for a dive attack. With their backs against a cliff, if they wanted to dive to attack Pei Renli and Philuffy, they would have to run the risk of hitting the mountain wall.
Moreover, this has another advantage, that is, while compressing the space for the giant eagle to dive, it also limits the giant eagle's dive route to only come from the front of Pei Renli.
Philuffy, who was a little slow, also learned how to do it, and at the same time, the spell in his hand was ready to go.
Maybe the giant eagle also found that these two people were not easy to attack, so it attacked the retreating three people first. They used weapons to resist the giant eagle's dive back and forth, but because the giant eagle was also very fast, it only scattered some feathers, and even
None of the arrows hit.
However, Pei Renli is not just watching the show, because above his head, there are still several giant eagles circling, looking for opportunities to attack at any time.
Staring upward, Pei Renli silently counted a total of 9 giant eagles, but as for giant eagles, they didn't seem to be suitable for the hunting ground of a deceiver.
After all, judging from the names, the monsters here should all be good at camouflaging and launching surprise attacks like gargoyles. The giant eagle is a bit too aboveboard.
With these thoughts running through his mind, Pei Renli quickly weaved runes in his hands, raised his staff and pointed it at one of the giant eagles hovering above his head:
"Earthbound!"
A yellow beam of light hit the giant eagle's belly, and the latter immediately fell down like a kite with a broken string. No matter how hard it flapped its wings, it was of no avail, and it hit the rocky beach hard.
Earth Binding is a spell from the Transformation School, and its effect is very simple, that is, it prohibits flying.
The giant eagle did not fall to death directly after falling from a hovering height, and it was quite strong.
However, as soon as this happened, the giant eagles that originally thought Pei Renli was not easy to attack seemed to have received a signal, and they all lowered their heads and swooped down.
"I'll help you!"
After reminding Philuffy that it was too late to use any more spells at this time, Pei Renli immediately picked up the staff and rolled forward at the right moment, just in time to avoid the swooping talons of the giant eagle.
The plan to dodge forward was to make the giant eagle hit the cliff when it pulled up again, but the flying skills of the giant eagle were better than expected, and it followed the straight up and down dodge to pull up again.
Pei Renli, who had not yet stood up, had to face the attack of the next giant eagle.
Don't think that all animals are stupid. At least when it comes to hunting skills, animals are not stupid at all.
The giant eagle's dive is not an unstructured rush. Just like a fighter formation, the timing is very precise, and it can almost be said to be a wave attack.
However, Rufus used his own life to teach Perenli how to fight. After that successful experience, Perenli certainly did not just know how to respond hastily. He had already planned his next move before taking action.
He took one out of the scroll box on his waist and without hesitation crushed the fire seal in the center. The magic power hidden in the scroll was reactivated and concentrated on his fingertips.
"Bigby's attack punch!"
The giant eagle swooped over with its talons extended, and immediately saw a fist half as tall as a man rushing towards it like a rampaging truck.
Because it was a dive, the distance between the two disappeared rapidly, and the giant eagles could not easily change their dive route. Doing so would break their hollow wings.
As a result, Pei Renli heard a piercing scream, gray-brown feathers fell like raindrops, Bigby's punch hit the giant eagle's face, and the hook-shaped beak was broken off.
The impact of Bigby's Strike Punch is not as strong as the Battering Ram, but it is definitely not weak, otherwise I wouldn't have used the term "Strike".
The swooping giant eagle was abruptly stopped for an instant, and then Bigby's powerful punch disappeared into the air. The giant eagle, which was dizzy from the hammer, fell headfirst. The remaining momentum allowed it to move towards Pei Renli on the rocky beach.
Keep gliding.
Before the next giant eagle started to swoop, Pei Renli stood up, sideways lightly to avoid the giant eagle sliding towards him, and swung the staff in his hand at the giant eagle's neck like a long knife:
"Stand Knife!"
The head of the Swift Light Staff immediately ejected a standing blade about a foot long. It was so sharp that Pei Renli could easily cut off the flesh and bones of the giant eagle without feeling any hindrance.
This F-level spell can be cast instantly like the electric claw spell, but it is actually of little use. Pei Renli only learned it to familiarize himself with the casting method of the model construction method.
After all, with his close combat ability, he would not normally pick up a staff and fight in close quarters.
Even a large beast like a giant eagle would definitely not survive if its neck was chopped off with a knife.
When the sword cut off the neck of the giant eagle, its body turned into a ball of fine white light and disappeared into the air without leaving any body.
Pei Renli was stunned when he saw this. No wonder he felt that the appearance of the giant eagle did not fit the venue. These guys were summoned creatures.
The so-called summoned creatures mainly refer to pulling in helpers from planes other than the mortal world. In most cases, the ones brought in are projections of power, so death will not leave a real corpse.
Except for some magic items, the ability to summon creatures almost all comes from the school of conjuration. Pei Renli can also use the spell to summon giant eagles, and even made it into a scroll by him.
But it feels like you can bring out a lot of helpers to fight, but in fact there are many restrictions, the number of summoned creatures is also limited, and the magic power consumption is the highest among spells of the same level.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to summon nine giant eagles in one breath. This kind of thing that goes against the common sense of magic is probably related to the ability of the Demon King system to exchange reputation.
According to the current rules, this is also a very shameless but very effective method.
Send the summoned creatures out to hunt, while the caster hides and waits in a safe place, saving time, effort and safety.
The caster may be nearby or far away to keep in touch with the summoned creature through a spiritual link or other means, or even direct the battle.
Thinking of this, Pei Renli looked up and saw that the other giant eagles that had just been preparing to swoop suddenly did not dare to come again. They even ran from Pei Renli's head to the other three people. They probably changed their targets because they saw that he was not easy to deal with.
The cost of summoning creatures is not low, and the caster will certainly not waste it casually. It is of course better to avoid the hard ones and find the soft persimmons.
"Atlas! Lower your head!"
Pei Renli ducked down and immediately felt a heavy object flying over his head. When he looked closely, he saw that it was a giant eagle that had been shot away sideways.
Thanks to the name he told Philifey, it was a 'pseudonym but not completely fake'. Otherwise, if Pei Renli had been slow to react when he heard the sound, he might have hit him directly.
"I'm sorry, I'm not very used to cooperation and didn't pay attention to my surroundings."
Philuffy explained, and then stretched out his hand to make a spell-casting gesture. A sharp gust of wind hit the giant eagle that had just been knocked away and was trying to get up. It immediately left a vertical wound nearly one meter wide. The giant eagle also transformed in the next moment.
The white light disappears.
At this time, Philuffy's body was flashing with cyan magic light, and it was vaguely possible to see a vague shadow of a long-haired woman appearing behind her.
This is fairy magic.
Magic is just a general term, and there are many types.
Pei Renli studied arcane magic, which can be learned with the ability to cast spells, but fairy magic is different.
If you want to learn and use this kind of magic, you must sign a contract with a powerful fey creature outside the mortal world, which is equivalent to being given power.
But it is somewhat different from the priest's magic.
For example, if we use the Holy Light Bullet spell as an example, the gods will directly give the spell to the priest, while the caster of the elf magic will get the right to use the "Holy Light". As for whether you throw out the Holy Light Bullet or the Holy Light Arrow,
, then it depends on how the caster uses it.
Moreover, users of fairy magic can sign contracts with multiple fairies to obtain stronger power and a wider strike surface. Even if you satisfy the fairy as a contractor, it will actively help you contact other fairies to sign contracts. Unlike
A priest is loyal to only one god.
It sounds good, but becoming a user of fairy magic is not an easy task.
First of all, you have to establish contact with the goblins. Those powerful beings generally live in planes outside the mortal world. Contacting them is like making an interdimensional phone call. Secondly, even if you make contact, whether they are willing to do so or not is another matter. After all,
Goblins are not gods, and they don't care whether they have believers or not.
Finally, since it is a contract, it is not a one-sided payment. The goblin gives power, and the caster will also pay the price.
The method of payment is rather weird. The goblins may ask for your eye or a leg, or they may ask you to do some weird or even socially-dead things. There is basically no fixed routine to be found.
Most goblins are chaotic creatures, and it's hard to guess what's going on in their heads.
Fairy magic is very good at confusing the target and adding buffs. Most of the attack spells focus on elemental damage. The final trump card is to call the fey creatures contracted with them to come over and help fight.
From this perspective, Phil Fei just made up for Perenli's few shortcomings in debuffs. This kind of spell is basically classified under the enchantment school, and Perenli really doesn't have much time to study it in depth.
"Put her down!"
Turning the battle ax, she tried to stop the giant eagle that had captured her companion, but it was a step too late. The giant eagle's strong talons had already grabbed the archer's arms and lifted her into the air.
Pei Renli quickly ran through the information on fairy magic in his mind, and stretched out his hand to stop Philuffy:
"Don't worry about it. As long as these giant eagle summoners don't mess with us, just stay alert."
Pei Renli and the others easily defeated the three giant eagles, and upon seeing this, the remaining giant eagles also ran to the other three people and dived to attack them one after another.
After all, they were not on the same road, not to mention that the other party had no good intentions just now. Pei Renli had no good words to say to save the person who tried to sneak attack just a second ago.
So under their gaze, the remaining two people were unable to effectively resist the continuous dive attacks, and were grabbed by the giant eagle and pulled into the air.
One of the giant eagles looked back at Pei Renli and Phil Fei who were hiding under the cliff in a very humane manner. Then the remaining giant eagles grabbed the three people and flew away without looking back, and quickly disappeared under the cliff.
