6. The Day the Comet Comes (2)

The scorching wind blew across the ground. Soldiers who had experience in protecting against magic attacks bent down and hugged their heads to avoid being damaged by the storm's internal organs or being swept away. They covered their ears to prevent the loud noise that was louder than thunder and thunder.

Deafening.

Their embarrassment is quite inconsistent with the prestigious name of the [Golden Hen], but they are originally a maverick knighthood that values ​​actual combat and despises fame. The rigid war model that the nobles have engraved in their granite heads and is constantly implemented is different from theirs.

Completely.

More flexible, more effective, and more deadly - the various fighting methods of [Knights of the Golden Hen] are the product of accumulating a lot of practical experience and focusing on achieving the above three goals. No matter how unkind the nobles are to them.

You see, the huge achievements cannot be ignored even by those elm-headed people.

Now, the tactics that have been proven effective time and time again in the past have been forced by the enemy's sudden magical attacks to the point where they have to hide in embarrassment to deal with it.

The enemy attack unfolded in a way that was unexpected by everyone. When the soldiers were hiding on the street corners, on the second floors, and behind the barricades, preparing to enter the village, they were unable to engage the enemies at close range who used the power of magic weapons to attack them head-on.

, the outer wall of the protective barrier covering the village erupted with a terrifying roar and flash of light.[

The moment when eight halo fireballs rose up from the dome-shaped protective barrier, witnessing the furious flash of light that almost tore apart the protective barrier, the warrior who had experienced many battles turned pale with horror, and his heart contracted sharply and almost vomited from his mouth.

.The kinetic energy and shock wave that failed to defeat the powerful magic barrier seeped into the ground along the edge of the semicircular barrier. It vibrated up and down like a small earthquake, causing unprepared people to fall to the ground.

The failure of the first wave of attacks to achieve the expected results seemed to be unable to shake the enemy's offensive rhythm and will. The second wave of explosions came again only ten seconds later, leaving no room for Bode Village to breathe and react.

"It's not the same level as the explosions I've seen before. Is it a new weapon?"

He noticed that the secret words on the barrier were flickering on and off. He was deeply shocked by the terrifying power of just two waves of attacks that pushed the most important barrier that defended the entire village to its limit. Li Nadu concluded.

Come to a conclusion.

His intuition was surprisingly accurate. What hit the barrier of Bode Village was not TNT, a gentle thing like RDX, but what separated from [Death Wings] and went straight to the village was a super-fast guide powered by metallic hydrogen.

With a guide as big as an adult's arm, it's easy to forget the terrifying power that metallic hydrogen can provide. In actual use, this 300-kilogram ultra-high-density penetration head will fly at the first cosmic speed, and the head and

The friction of the air creates a magnificent trail, which is more dazzling than the incoming flash, like a red comet or a meteorite. Each red light trail and an impact equivalent to 6 tons of TNT are absorbed by the barrier that protects the village.

As long as 12 hits are made, even the heavily armored large battleships from the old century of Earth will be reduced to seaweed flakes. After enduring two consecutive waves of attacks with a total of 16 of these terrifying weapons, they remained standing still. This is really a feat that can be boasted of anywhere.

.

Elise, who spent all her energy concentrating her mana, had no idea of ​​pride. Thinking about constructing defensive spells to fill the tiny holes had already consumed most of her energy. Figuring out the attack of the mysterious weapon that first exploded, and then came with a shrill scream that whipped the air.

After the trajectory, the Bafang-level four-attribute female magician quickly expanded the sensing range to search for the mana reaction that might be the attack, and found a result.

Obviously, the opponent launched the attack from outside the perception circle.

"There is such a way to attack from a distance?!"

A wave of paralyzing admiration surged through Elise's nervous nerves. The pressure on her shoulders became a little heavier.

Magic is known as a long-distance attack weapon, but in actual combat, the skills of this rare user are far less than the range of bows and arrows. The maximum effective attack distance of ordinary magicians is generally between 300 and 400 meters, and outstanding experts can certainly do it.

There are attack spells with a range of several kilometers, but firstly they are beyond the farthest range that can be reached by the field of vision. The spells that rely on feeling are not accurate at all after adding too many variables after crossing a long distance; secondly,

Nowadays, as a scarce resource, magicians can only make such a blinding long-range shot, and it is meaningless if they cannot form enough killing coverage to make up for the circular probability error (ep).

Therefore, almost no magicians will delve into ultra-long-range, especially attack techniques beyond sight range.

But the successive attacks in front of me overturned this common sense. The attacks that accurately grasped the location of Bodou Village did not miss or miss, and the terrifying power that shook the ground was awe-inspiring through the barrier. If there was no barrier

The boundary supports the outside and isolates the power beyond imagination. After two consecutive waves of bombing, everything in the village has long since disappeared from the surface.

A stronger sense of crisis than ever before tugged at Elise's mind. She closed her eyes tightly and searched for enemies outside her sight. At this time, the traces of mana being stirred high in the atmosphere turned into blurry shapes embedded in her consciousness.

among.

It is not as lightning-fast as long-range attacks that have already exploded and impacted upon detection, and the speed of 5 is relatively slow. It is still faster than flying beasts, galloping horses, and other objects many times disrupting the mana structure in the atmosphere, leaving behind

Imprints appeared on Elise's field of consciousness.

"Enemy attack! North-north-west direction! 5 responses approaching from the air!"

He recited the battlefield information he had sensed loudly, and the defensive spells he had prepared to deal with enemies in the air were immediately activated. A large number of "defensive barriers" as tall as one person appeared on the straight path in the air where the five uninvited guests went to Bode Village. Other spells

It is also shown that it operates in the air. The most troublesome defense system for those who fly in the air is waiting for close contact with the guests.

"Is it a floating flying technique? Or is it the explosion magic just now?"[

Putting the tension and excitement of "Finally here" out of his mind, Leonardo turned around and asked his wife.

"Five of them are all reactions to the flying spell, but...this speed...wait, there is one that doesn't have the reaction of mana..."

The slight pause suddenly turned into the sound of sharp air-conditioning. Sensing his wife's strange behavior, Leonardo clenched his weapon and looked at Elise's face with a fearful expression.

"He actually rushed into the group of counterattack techniques and kept accelerating. This... how is this possible! The leading non-mana reaction is rushing over at three times the speed of the subsequent five reactions!"

Escaping from the near-unrealistic state of meditation, Elise's eyes flashed with true fear for the first time, and her mouth opened slightly as she groaned. A flash of light like a meteor appeared in the unbroken perception circle.

The slightly blue faces of Kiseki and his companions in the Knights overlapped each other. How could he do something that was beyond common sense...

"Did you fulfill your promise and come in person? You really did what you said."

Feeling the goosebumps on his back, Leonardo tried his best to maintain his usual smile.

Borrowing the power of mana to fly in the atmosphere - except for birds and beasts, other races want to dance in the sky. This is the only feasible law.

In Wilt, if intelligent species want to fly, they can only spend their youth and energy to become magicians or knights who control flying beasts. Otherwise, they can only crawl on the ground, with few exceptions.

It's not even an exception. It's just to laugh at the theorem of flight. A red flash tore through the atmosphere and soared into the sky at a speed that living things could never reach. It sent out a chilling shrill scream, leaving five silver-white bright spots far behind it, red.

There is almost no response from mana around bright light.

The flight mechanism and flying power of the distant alien world are completely unconstrained by Mana. The powerful power released by the power group of [Death Wings] throws all flying spells and flying beasts several oceans away.

The four high-energy particle fields in the middle of the huge wings create a special magnetic field that continuously explodes nuclear fusion. Thanks to the high-temperature plasma gas jets under the restrained thermonuclear reaction, the red flash can span the sky.

But just being fast is of no use.

Elise's barrier group is similar to passive air defense measures such as blocking balloons in the old era of Earth. However, compared to the light blocking balloons, no one is willing to hit the barrier and turn into a pile of rotten meat.

Simple and effective. It is more threatening than large-caliber anti-aircraft guns in certain environments.

In addition, the shrewd lady also thoughtfully prepared active defense methods.

Hundreds of fireballs, ice arrows, and wind blades were constantly attacking from the front. The continuous attacks without stopping made people wonder how many magicians were waiting in front.

To use magic, you must chant incantations, so the chanting time and the number of spells used at the same time have become the biggest flaws of this skill. Countless magicians are constantly studying how to overcome these two shortcomings.

[Linked Activation of Spells] and [Imaginary Spell Domain] are one of the research results.

The spells chanted in advance are compressed and stored at the bottom of the consciousness or on an instrument that can resonate with the consciousness, which is the "imaginary spell field". When facing an enemy, various applied spells are released in a high-speed chain in one breath to defend or attack.

[Linked spell activation].

However, this kind of abnormal storage and application of spells requires an almost absurd amount of mana driving force. It is impossible to find a person among hundreds of magicians who can withstand such an astonishing amount of spell compression. Lower-level magicians

It may even cause a collapse.[

Various counterattack techniques continued to open the front line of fire. In front of the dense and excessive fire net, not even a fly could think of taking a step beyond the thunder.

However, the above measures did not have an effect on Li Lin. Not only did they start too late, they could not even stop him from moving forward.

If there is no road, just create one.

The seemingly reckless words became full of violent art under Li Lin's superb skills in using the nuclear fusion pulse jet group to advance and kick himself to create barriers. The crazy elegance shocked Elise who was remotely sensing the scene.

Detect the positions of obstacles in the air from the particle concentration and the reaction of mana. Plan the shortest path to the target. About to hit the silver-white circular cipher text pattern, he is caught by the [magic] fireball.

At this moment, he condensed mana in front of him to build his own barrier, and kicked it away with force. At the same time, the four thermonuclear plasma gas jets on both wings performed vector deflection acceleration, riding on the fireballs that collided behind him and erupted into a storm.

The whole body accelerated towards the next barrier, and the previous scene happened again.

Without sacrificing speed and energy, he makes full use of everything around him and moves in continuous z-shaped jumps more flexibly than apes and cheetahs in the barrier jungle. Not to mention that Elise and the people of the Knights have not seen it before, it is Brunsy in the distance.

This is also the first time that you elves have witnessed this - a magical skill that can be compared to stepping on fallen trees and narrow ledges that are barely exposed for stepping on, and climbing up against waterfalls and mountain torrents.

It dances its limbs and wings in the air, showing a frightening and intoxicating dance. It gallops through the sky. The wings made of crystals release a deep red light from the gaps between the crystal wings. When flying at high speed, it leaves a trail in the sky that looks like a comet.

The bright red light trail left behind in the sky, in the eyes of the young man who painted a magnificent stroke in the blue sky, the target designated as the combat area gradually enlarged, and the isolated village was set into the aiming aperture of the particle cannon, and the enchanting handsome appearance shone.

He smiled coldly.

"Let me see what the so-called brave man's power is."

A light cluster that excites high-energy particles, and a shaft of light that is thicker than Li Lin's own height, runs in the air between the comet in the sky and Bode Village. The dazzling light illuminates the beauty that is slightly distorted due to squinting the slits of the eyes more clearly.

The high-energy particle beam with a diameter equal to the height of a human engulfed all the barriers in front of the attacking spell. The spell groups on both sides of the optical axis - as far as one kilometer away were all shattered by the violent energy aftermath.

It barely brushed past the outer wall of the dome barrier. The high-energy particles and shock waves radiated from the linear light strips smashed the silver-white barrier that had reached its limit. The broken magic words sent out the last bits of afterglow and returned to Ma.

That shape and state.

Under the stunned gaze of the soldiers, the light ribbon flew towards the distant mountains. Although it was not towering and precipitous, at most it was only a little higher than the hills. The particle beam hit the mountainside directly. The air, earth and stone were instantly plasmaized, and the shot took two seconds.

The high-energy particles on the left and right not only penetrated the hill, but the erupted particle energy turned into a high-heat fireball that dug deep into the earth's veins and dissolved the terrain. The spherical high-heat light engulfed two-thirds of the mountain in a short period of time.

When the light beam dissipated and the fireball was extinguished, a shockingly huge hole was left, like a sand tower dug by a child. The unsupported mountain top slowly fell towards the smooth circular hole, with trees, flowers, grass, lava and sand attached to it.

They poured to the ground together, and the collapsing materials fell into the sea of ​​lava that had not yet cooled down. The sight of orange waves and smoke rising into the sky shook the hearts of those who witnessed it more than the shrill and loud noises.

A bright red color far deeper than the sunset that stains the sky falls from the sky. The combination of continuous posture control fine-tuning and braking injection assists in widening the wings to increase air resistance as a buffer. The clothing, smile, and crystal wings on the back are all used

The boy summed up by the word "Strange" flew over Bode Village with an elegant posture that the audience could hardly help but admire, and used "Floating" to hover majestically above the heads of Leonardo and others.

"What a good barrier. If you don't do it like this, you won't be able to get in. It's not the way to treat guests behind closed doors, isn't it? Mr. Leader."

The ant's gaze dropped from above, even if it was not caught. The actual pressure in the frivolous tone still made people feel as breathless as climbing a mountain. Bearing most of the investment on himself alone, Leonardo was as heavy as the top of the mountain.

He cheered up and responded boldly and uninhibitedly:

"When guests who like rough greetings come to your door, in addition to preparing a strong door, I also prepare a feast of swords and wands to entertain uninvited guests who deliberately miss the mark and show off their force."...)
