Among the scattered vampires, a clear but cold and resentful voice immediately caught Cuthbert's attention. The disfigured monk looked forward and saw a terrifying face with half of his face "melting" with a wary look on his face.
Stare at him...
It's just that the other party's "disfigurement" is very different from Cuthbert's - under the melted and dripping half of the face, half of a smoother and more beautiful face quietly emerged...
This turned out to be a female vampire who had given herself a disguise!!
Of course, among Dia's [vampire] group, there must be many "models" of all kinds, men, women, old and young. However, for undead creatures, as long as their limbs are not seriously mutilated, there are actually differences in physical abilities.
None of them will be too big, and will only be roughly different depending on factors such as their own templates, grades, levels, etc.
But if the one in front of you deliberately "disguises" yourself before a battle... you don't have to guess that he must be an "elite individual" with unique skills~
Seeing that the human caster in front of him, who was carrying huge magic fluctuations, had noticed him, the female vampire who stepped back could only wave away her broken disguise angrily, and pulled out a small one-handed wand from under her luxurious clothes - this
He is actually a necromancer from the [Vampire] tribe!
"Yo yo yo~~ This one doesn't look any more kind than our vampires. With your incomparable proficiency in curse spells, it would be a shame to stay in Erathia. Otherwise... come to our Diya.
How about the Kingdom?
Be it power or immortality, we have more bargaining chips than Erathia can afford, but we will definitely not disappoint you~"
The vampire undead witch looks delicate and charming, and the short magic palm is spinning in her hands. Compared with a weapon that enhances spellcasting, it looks more like some kind of unique toy...
However, if you despise the female vampire in front of you because of this, you are really blind~
Regardless of the gorgeous and over-the-top costumes that the opponent wears after taking off his disguise, the necromancer's powerful martial arts and magic skills alone can make most relatively weak spellcasters envious.
Physical strength also plays a big role in assisting spellcasting: more stable and faster spellcasting movements, a strong physique that can withstand more bursts of magic power, and exaggerated mobile combat capabilities after learning [Combat Casting]...
…
It can be said that in the mid-to-high-end field, vampire necromancers naturally have a strong foundation!
However, in the face of the "recruitment" of an "enemy" of this level, Cuthbert acted as if he was deaf, and did not pay attention at all... nor did he care about the opponent's small movements of wandering and testing accurately outside his limit casting distance.
, it’s just as if they haven’t seen each other at all, and they continue to do what they need to do at hand silently...
Well~
The so-called "things that should be done" are to continue to provide free all-round "light and tanning" services to those vampires who are still within the attack range, and to perform precise touch-ups on the dozens of vampire bats that are tired on the ground!
The vampires that rushed up were killed miserably at the first moment. None of the twenty in front of them could run away in the end. They were all burnt to ashes by the sudden burst of bright light~
And the rest of the vampires probably benefited from the momentary blockage from the same race in front. They suffered major injuries and minor injuries, but at least they escaped with their lives...
It's just that those vampire bats lying on the ground are pitiful. It seems that the curse spell has not yet been released. Even if there are companions to draw firepower for them, none of them can escape... but they have also implicated several previous bats.
Members of the same race who tried to "fish for people" were immediately baptized by Cuthbert's bright light.
After all the vampires had dispersed, Cuthbert was free to turn around and collect the baits he had left behind...
The reason why they are said to be baits is because Cuthbert's follow-up "finishing" was to "dismantle" these vampire bats in an unhurried, even creepy and "delicate" way!
First, a large number of "light needles" suddenly appeared and fell like rain. Groups of three or two pinned the vampire bats' broad flesh wings to the ground. Then Cuthbert "summoned" a handful of concentrated white light.
The one-handed sword, following the distance from far to near, actually beheaded those big bats that couldn't even struggle one by one...
Such a thoroughly provocative killing naturally angered the surrounding vampires who were watching eagerly.
Although among the undead, there has always been almost no "feeling" for the same race, but this does not mean that they can watch their enemies kill their own kind in front of their eyes!
Especially the female vampire who had tried to talk to Cuthbert earlier and persuaded him to surrender, her whole face was so angry that she was distorted!!
She anticipated how her opponent would react to her, be it dismissive, abusive, secretly moved or wavering... She originally had the task of scouting enemy camps and planting spies within humans at the right time, so to speak.
In the end, she was not at a loss anyway~
However, she never expected that Cuthbert would not take her seriously at all, and would even perform a public execution in front of her eyes.
"Damn short-lived species!!"
With a scream, the female vampire turned the small wand in her hand when the lightsaber flew towards the head and neck of the third vampire bat, but darkness like a fountain surged out from the shadow under her feet, turning into a "
"Dark current", heading straight towards the lightsaber!
"oh?"
Cuthbert's brows jumped, he didn't expect to meet a "fellow" here...
Well, this statement seems strange, but the female vampire in front of me actually used the dark-oriented [Negative Energy Impact] instead of the [Death Ripple] that most undead spellcasters would choose. This is enough in itself.
This explains some problems.
The lightsaber suddenly turned around and took the initiative to face the incoming darkness. At the first moment of "chopping" the dark water, Cuthbert waved his hand and spilled the casting materials on his left hand, but he quickly aimed at those who were "chopped".
"The scattered darkness made several magic pattern gestures, and the next moment, the scattered "small streams of dark water" seemed to come to life, stimulating like threads, and directly penetrated into the surrounding area of more than ten people who were about to rush into the warehouse.
In the shadow of the vampire on Sibert's body, he was firmly "nailed" in place!
"This is impossible!!"
The female vampire screamed and was about to change her move, but unexpectedly Cuthbert shouted "Hammer of Punishment"!
Suddenly, five meters above the head of the female vampire, a two-handed short-handled war hammer "transformed" out of nothing and was almost one-to-one... It was also condensed with light as strong as substance, and it hit directly with a "bang" sound.
It landed on the female vampire's head, and immediately hit her so hard that stars were shining in her eyes, and even the spell at hand was directly interrupted.
After briefly controlling the spellcasting units on the opposite side, Cuthbert turned back to deal with the vampires around him who just wanted to sneak attack on him...
Strictly speaking, a spellcaster like Cuthbert who is good at "Dark Curse" would still be at a disadvantage against the undead.
After all, undead units are naturally very resistant to darkness and curses, and can even be directly immune to spells including Cuthbert's favorite [Weakness].
However, he is still qualified... no, it should be said that he is an excellent light monk!!
And I don’t know if it’s because of Cuthbert’s character, or if his long-term experience has made him develop a calm, calm and detached character. As a spellcaster, he can be said to be surrounded by a large group of undead vampires.
Underneath, there was no sign of timidity at all, and even the magic patterns on his hands that strengthened the spell were completed quickly and to a standard, showing extraordinary psychological quality and extremely superb spell-casting skills!
If he is really attacked by a large group of vampires, he will also use area-of-effect spells such as [Punishing Nova], [Radiant Will] and other area-of-effect spells to force the enemies away in time.
With a simple skill of [Brilliant Will], I don’t know how high this guy’s mental attributes are, or what other skills he has, or the strengthening effect of his talent, but he can still withstand the vampire’s scratching and forcefully squeeze him away~
On the other hand, the female vampire opposite was troubled by Cuthbert's weird "light and dark" attributes!
Relatively speaking, Cuthbert's magic power is much higher than hers, so naturally, the female vampire is more afraid of the opponent's light attack spells. If she is hit hard from the front, the female vampire will definitely not be able to please her today.
.
Perhaps out of consideration for supplementing her own shortcomings, while studying the undead spells, she also taught herself dark spells... However, this was supposed to be a means of assisting her when facing light spellcasters.
When facing the disfigured and ugly monk opposite him, he was surprisingly powerless.
Because that guy’s research on dark magic is actually much better than hers!!
Even the spells that the female vampire used from time to time were directly "stripped" by the opponent once - in the spell duel, Liu Yifei's previous method of actively knocking away other people's attacking spells by throwing rocks, corpses, etc. was actually the lowest level.
, it can be said to be a typical use of strength to defeat skill; then there is the most standard and most common dismantling confrontation between spell casters, that is, while I control my own spell casting, I also try my best to disrupt the magic power fluctuations around you and improve it.
The possibility of the opponent's spellcasting failing; and the most outrageous thing is undoubtedly the behavior of "robbing" the opponent's spellcasting that Cuthbert is currently performing personally!
By having a much higher understanding of spells than the opponent, you can control the opponent's key magic nodes, and then transfer your own magic power to smoothly "grab" half of the opponent's prepared spells...
This is due to the high resistance of the surrounding vampires to dark spells. Otherwise, if one's own spells were to explode in the ranks of one's own soldiers, the female vampire would be driven crazy!!
Later, the female vampire finally figured it out. She was a freak among the human monks in front of her. She actually had a deep knowledge of dark spells. She simply stopped competing with the opponent and simply used necromancy spells to fight against her opponent.
Consumption!
Then she would bring over a small number of vampires with certain spell-casting abilities in the team, and cast spells with her, trying to crush the human monks on the opposite side in a stupid way!
Anyway, he is only one person, I still don’t believe that I can’t kill him today~
And as long as this person is killed or captured alive... Lord Heath will definitely reward him heavily in the future!
Such a powerful human monk must easily be able to summon his soul to become a powerful undead corpse witch...
After realizing that his opponent had changed his combat thinking, Cuthbert immediately gave up using light spells and undead spells to fight head-on, because these two extraordinary powers were highly antagonistic, and any contact would cause a violent "neutralization" reaction.
, quickly consumes the magic power of both parties, which is obviously more detrimental to Cuthbert~
To the female vampire's surprise... Cuthbert turned his head and actually used low- to medium-level dark spells proficiently! Although he didn't have any powerful offensive methods, he used dark magic to be highly tolerant of death magic.
, playing the trick of pushing a thousand pounds - not rushing to attack, but constantly maintaining the stability of one's own spells, and then constantly blocking to deflect the opponent's attack!
This one-on-one battle between Cuthbert and the vampire casters on the opposite side was so exciting and technical that even the vampire undead witch had never expected it! So much so that by the time the fight came to the back, the female vampire was already furious from the beginning.
, turned into indignation and disbelief!
The other vampires surrounding him are only functioning as a vigilance and plundering formation. It's not that they don't want to attack Cuthbert, but that the other vampire is currently on the defensive, constantly using dark-type deflections and protective spells.
He set up heavy protective lines around his body, constantly dismantling the death spells on the other side.
If any ordinary vampire soldiers want to pounce on them, they will be severely injured by the aftermath of spells from both sides...
Should we say that Cuthbert is indeed a talented artist and a bold man?
In fact, if it weren't for his full confidence in his own strength, he might not have made such a crazy decision as being single to stop the enemy. After all, no matter how devoted he is to research, he would not be able to kill a highly intelligent spell caster without thinking.
It's better to become a self-destructive fool...
The two sides were engaged in a unique magical offensive and defensive battle on the plain, but suddenly a loud eagle call came from the sky, and that was the spy that Cuthbert had sent out before, and the meaning of the reward was also very simple: an enemy was approaching!
They will come together at this time... Don't think about it, it must be a swarm of undead that was dragged down by the speed and was slightly slower.
When making the decision to take the initiative, Cuthbert actually might not have had the idea of using his own power to put the opponent in a column. After all, light spells are also very obvious in restraining the undead. If no one in the opponent group can
If he had fought against a strong man, ordinary soldiers would have been brutally killed by Cuthbert.
And even if someone with equal strength appears, at least Cuthbert can complete the task of blocking the enemy well, buying time for the rear defense to adjust and optimize.
It's just that now there is a man in the vampire team who is not weak in spellcasting and can barely compete with him with a group of novices. This makes Cuthbert a little wary about the strength of the enemy's follow-up troops.
Heart……
In the end, Cuthbert chose to retreat conservatively. In order to create a better retreat space for himself and let the enemy see his strength clearly, Cuthbert had a rare small explosion before leaving:
Why is it said that light spellcasters are very obvious in restraining the undead?
Because the light spell is different from the classic elemental spell, it contains more content and can "arm" a fighting monk more comprehensively - I don't know where Cuthbert took out a small shield and
A small one-handed warhammer, but in the blink of an eye, this "fairly typical" spellcaster who had always been a "pretty typical" spellcaster turned his back on him!
Not only did he take out the guy to perform a full martial arts show, but he also instantly cast six or seven blessing-like spells on himself, which strengthened his attack power and protection. Crucially, he also greatly improved his excitement and combat reflexes. Then he wielded the hammer,
The shield jumped directly into the group of vampires - the female vampire on the opposite side was startled by Cuthbert's move without warning!
Fortunately, the other party didn't attack her directly, otherwise she would have been beaten in a hurry...
There won't be much difference in the level of spells between the two sides, but one thing is that although Cuthbert can engage in stealth combat, his martial arts skills are far behind his spellcasting skills... After all, he is alone
After all, your energy is limited~
Even if you are a genius, you can't go too far, right?
And this is one of the reasons why Cuthbert was ostracized in the royal mage group - in addition to the fundamental opposition between "darkness" and "light", compared with the ability to master different types of magic powers, he was originally
The monks of Erathia are more inclined to the path of "double cultivation of magic and martial arts" in addition to intensive study of light magic and melee combat skills.
Otherwise, how could the [War Sacrifice] approach become so popular in Erathia?
Cuthbert just wanted to hurt the opponent before retreating, so that the opponent would not dare to pursue him desperately, but he did not want the opponent to really find out his depth, so he did not go straight to the opponent's leader, but chose to enlarge the opponent.
casualties, and directly attack the ordinary vampires who are plundering nearby...
At the same time, after getting close to the opponent, there is no room to maneuver, and it is more suitable for Cuthbert to suddenly burst out with lethal light spells, forcibly causing more violent commotion in the vampire group, and making it impossible for the vampire casters on the opposite side to easily
Lock his position...
A short but fierce melee suddenly started, and at the final climax, Cuthbert even spit out a mouthful of blood and forcibly summoned an "angel phantom" to rush straight into the opponent's formation!
Although the "phantom of the angel" has no direct lethality, it seems to be able to torture the vampire from the spiritual level. Enshrouded in the hazy light on its double feathers, even the strongest vampire undead witch on the opposite side screams and urinates.
~
Taking advantage of the chaos in the opponent's formation, Cuthbert finally broke out smoothly. After finding his way back to his feet, he caught up with the vampires in vain and pushed the enemy away before making a move.
