Chapter 165: Strange Skeletons
"Teacher!" "Lord Sivi!" "Sivi!"
Except for Alyssa, who had already been mixed, the other three girls all shouted out in surprise. But then Sophia, who was closest to Sivi, looked at the back of Sivi's head in surprise: "Your hair ......"
"It's okay, it's just that I think black hair is too boring, so I changed it to white hair." Xiwei didn't hesitate to lie, after all, he didn't want them to know that his gray hair was the result of his own disregard for his body: "It's okay to chat at any time, let's get rid of this skeleton first!" β
Of course, Sivi doesn't have the ability to teleport at a fixed point - in fact, not many of them are able to manipulate space, even if they are great magicians.
The reason why he was able to appear here was entirely because before Elisa and the others set off, when Sivi was helping them adjust their weapons, he secretly loaded them with the consumables [Rescuer Bonds] purchased from the achievement store.
This tattoo-like thing can be attached to all gear, even the human body.
This expensive consumable can only be purchased if both the Protective Enchantment and the Mana Pool are built, as it must be bound to both buildings in order to be used.
When the girls set off, the magic pool and protective enchantment of the floating island had naturally not been built, but don't forget, there are also magic pools and protective enchantments in the academy layout of Sivi.
The appearance of the [Rescuer Bond] is inconspicuous, it is no different from some decorative patterns when attached to weapons and equipment, and it looks like a small tattoo when attached to the human body. It also has no magical fluctuations, and is rarely noticeable under normal circumstances, and will only be activated if the bound person is attacked by a life-threatening physical condition.
Its effect is not complicated, but it is able to transfer all that damage to the protective barrier bound to it. and began to draw mana from the mana pool, which was used to temporarily send the 'savior' set at the beginning to the side of the protected. After a certain amount of time, the savior will be pulled back to where he was before.
In addition, because the mana pool is overdrawn with a large amount of mana, the owner is also required to fill the mana deficit of the 'loan' in a short period of time, otherwise the mana pool will collapse due to the extreme lack of mana and the deficit......
The previous skeleton mage didn't hurt the girl when it attacked Alyssa, but only stunned her, so it didn't trigger the effect of [Rescuer Bond] - in fact, it wouldn't have happened if it had been doing the same since then, but because it was provoked by Sophia before, and left no room for anger to attack, that attack triggered the effect of [Rescuer Bond]. Pulled Xiwei, who was hundreds of miles away, directly to this side.
At first, the skeleton mage was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Sivi. It thought that it had provoked some power that could use spatial magic, but when it calmed down and realized that the person who appeared in front of it was only a mid-level magician, it became arrogant again.
"Just a mid-level ......"
With the undulating words without a single intonation, huge cones of rock appeared on the walls, ceiling, and ground of the cave. Lunge towards Sivi.
This is a variant of the Rock Sword, which simplifies the fineness of casting, but greatly increases the supply of mana, making it a degraded version of the relatively strong area-based magic 'Rock Thorn Spear Array' similar to the three-ring earth elemental magic.
Although it is only a deteriorated version, because it is in the cave and occupies the geographical advantage, the overwhelming number completely makes up for the shortcomings of the poor quality of the rock cone itself, forming an attack without dead ends!
However, it is this kind of attack that seems to the skeleton itself to have no dead ends, and there is no other way to resist it except with protective magic. But just before he was about to hit Xiwei, as if he had been bounced off by an invisible force, almost all of the rock cones fell apart, turning into a handful of rubble and falling to the ground. β¦,
"What's that? What is that! The skeleton did not continue to attack, but instead ignored the possibility of being attacked by Sivi, and hurriedly asked him, "What magic did you use?" β
"I don't have to tell you."
Although it is nothing more than an advanced application of repulsion and multicasting. But Sivi, who had just killed the Skeleton King (weak) and had become a little high-minded, didn't bother to talk to this strange skeleton mage, and directly blasted over with a blunt blow of magic power.
However, to his surprise, the blunt attack of mana that was originally stable was actually carried by the skeleton through the dilution of mana and a ring of wind element 'atmospheric armor'.
Whether in terms of reflexes or spell casting ability, this skeleton mage was completely different from its kind, and even far surpassed many human mages of the same level, which made Sivi curious.
However, he also knew the proverb that curiosity kills a cat, so he didn't plan to delve into it, and besides, the other party did hurt Alyssa, so there was no need to show mercy at all.
Several whirling flame arrows took shape in front of Sivi, and then with the help of the impetus of the repulsion technique, they instantly accelerated, and flew towards the opponent.
And this time, the skeleton mage also immediately used the Ice Ball, not to block the Spiral Flame Bolt strengthened by Sivi, but to detonate it in the middle of its flight, minimizing the destructive power, and then easily blocking it with the previous atmospheric armor.
You must know that although a ring of ice balls is not a difficult magic, and it is even much simpler than Xiwei's whirling flame arrow, it is not impossible for a senior mid-level magician to achieve instantaneous results as long as he studies for a period of time. But the problem is that if you want to control several ice balls at the same time to hit the whirling flame arrow in high-speed flight, this difficulty is not much easier than walking a tightrope on a cliff, at least at the moment, Sivi can't do this skill.
This couldn't help but make Sivi's interest in this skeleton a little stronger.
However, no matter how you say that the skeleton mages are all intermediate or above, they will naturally not be unilaterally suppressed by Xiwei.
Immediately after neutralizing Sivi's attack, it began to cast a quick spell as well, throwing a lightning loop at Sivi, followed by a secondary petrification curse.
The power of the first ring of lightning loops is not even comparable to that of its pre-magic free electric eel, but it has an extremely high paralyzing judgment, and the secondary petrification curse is a two-ring curse that can incapacitate people as the name suggests. Skeletons seem to prefer to use control magic rather than Sivi's destruction-based magic. The same is true of the previous Rock Rush Sword. Compared to a simple attack, the binding effect caused by the instantaneous compression of the surrounding action space is superior.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this product just wants to catch Xiwei. After that, I dissected the slices and studied something, so I deliberately didn't use destructive magic......
The attack path of the lightning loop is winding and difficult to judge, and the curse that follows is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, as long as you get entangled in the lightning loop, you will definitely be cursed by a secondary petrification!
However, when he was at the beginning level, he had the strength to be able to single-handedly take on the high rank, not to mention that now that he has been promoted to the middle level, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. It's like the repulsion technique and the roundabout flame bolt used in the combo just now, if he had been in the past, he could only fire one at most in this way, but just now he easily sat down with three bursts.
And now too. Faced with two bursts of magic. Sivi's eyes didn't blink, first a textbook-sized miniature magic barrier blocked the lightning loop, and then the prepared mage's hand raised a stone to easily block the secondary petrification curse.
Like most curses, the secondary petrification curse has no effect on matter itself.
Although Sivi's magic barrier is not impossible to stop the curse. But that would waste a lot of extra mana, and even if he didn't lack mana, Xiwei, who had suffered a lot due to lack of mana in the dungeon, had already developed the habit of not squandering mana lavishly. β¦,
In this way, one man and one skeleton began the offensive and defensive battle of magic below the second ring in the passage that was not very spacious.
It's not that they won't use more advanced magic, but it's because if the magic level is too high, the destructive power will increase accordingly, and if the fight is too fierce and the cave collapses, it will really be too much. Even Sivi, who had been promoted to the middle rank, was a little too powerless in the face of the power of nature.
But even if it's just magic below the second ring. All kinds of combat methods emerge in an endless stream, so that a few mage apprentice girls who are a little far away from the battlefield have a lot of experience.
And Sophia also took this opportunity to take Alice to bring the fainted Alyssa back to her side.
Xiwei found that if he didn't consider the three-ring magic, if he talked about the magic of the first ring and the second ring, the other party's attainment in most magic was actually similar to him! Not only that, but even the skeleton split itself. and rewrote some magic, and with the help of these strange magics, he succeeded in making Sivi eat a lot of deflated.
But as time passed, it didn't take long for the scales of victory to tip in Sivi's favor. The reason is simple, because the skeleton is almost gone.
Except for the special exception of the lich, the necromantic creatures themselves do not have many magical reserves, and this skeleton can be considered very powerful in an offensive and defensive battle with Xiwei for so long.
Seeing that he was about to lose his support, the skeleton's reaction was not to rush forward and fight the enemy like other skeleton mages, but to fight and retreat, and the moment he left the cave, he turned around and spread his feet and began to run towards the stone castle!
To chase or not to chase? Sivi was caught in a dilemma.
His current existence here is maintained by the continuous consumption of a large amount of mana in the mana pool, and the longer he stays here, the more serious the deficit in the mana pool will be.
Should they let it go and let Alyssa and the others take this opportunity to escape, or should they not spare those magic powers and risk the magic pool being too empty and collapsing?
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Sivi immediately made a decision - to get rid of the strange skeleton as soon as possible.
Anyway, it's not a good thing for Alyssa and her party to be targeted by a mage of such a high rank, rather than waiting until something happens and then regretting it, it's better to simply nip this possibility in the bud!
So he gave a brief instruction to the others, and then flew alone to the stone castle of the other party.
But before he could reach the castle, the thick gate of the city gate was pushed open, and two snow trolls came out of it with their backs bent, then straightened up and yelled at Sivi.
Even though they hadn't fought yet, Sivi had already sensed something from the state of the two snow trolls.
"Could it be a seductive giant creature?"
Charm magic is one of the illusion magic that belongs to the arcane magic branch, and it can be called a self-contained magic system.
This magic, like curses, has no direct destructive power, but it can use the power of magic to turn other creatures into the caster's most loyal minions. Because of this, seductive magic was still a popular magic for a while.
But then the magicians found out. The success rate of the magic of 'seducing humans' is so low that even a great magician can't guarantee that he can 100% charm a strong-willed person. And many times the creatures that are enchanted are useless - weak beasts have no combat power, and it is not as convenient to charm a certain type of monster or something as it is to summon them directly, so after a period of prosperity, the charm type of magic has gradually declined according to the guesses of many sane magicians.
If it weren't for the two signboards of the Enchanting Behemoth and the Enchanting Giant Creature, maybe this kind of magic would have disappeared from the textbooks. β¦,
Unlike humans, whether it is a giant beast or a giant creature, their brains are not very useful, and their wills are much weaker than most creatures, so the success rate of seducing giant beasts or giant creatures is a little higher.
The trolls don't like to see the undead. And now the two snow trolls will protect the skeleton mage. Coupled with the fact that Sivi was keenly aware of the fact that there seemed to be some confusion in their eyes, he would think that the two snow trolls were controlled.
Whether voluntarily or not, the two snow trolls had already rushed towards Sivi.
It seems that the skeleton mage probably intends to let the snow trolls kill or injure Sivi, and no matter how bad it is, he will drag Sivi to death and create an opportunity for himself.
It's a pity that the Xiwei copy has been mixed for so long. He didn't learn much else, but when it came to fighting monsters, two silly snow trolls would definitely not be his opponents.
He threw a sandstone bomb in his hand, tripped one of them with the explosion, and dragged the other one to fly the kite.
The reason why you don't need a close range of firepower output is because this guy has a winter aura around his body. In addition to speeding up the casting of water elemental spell abilities, it will also be affected by the aura if it is too close, making the body easily freeze, making the mobility greatly reduced, and being caught by the opponent in that state is not a joke.
Although the snow trolls have thick skin and rough flesh, they are very durable. However, after Sivi only took them around for a moment, their snow-white fur looked like a mess - white ice slag hung in some places, it was pitch black and smelled of burnt in other places, and in other places the hair stood on end like hedgehogs......
Seeing that the two snow trolls were completely unable to cause even the slightest bothering to Sivi, the skeleton mage was also anxious, despite the fact that he had not recovered much. Rushing straight out of the castle, the two snow trolls intending to protect themselves.
Here's the downside of the undead, as much as it has a lot of vitality, it's too slow to recover, and as a skeleton, it won't be useful even if it has potions and potions to drink - because those things will definitely come out of the bone sticks......
And when it ran outside the castle, it was greeted by Sivi's bright smile.
I saw Sivi point the moon branch in his hand at the surrounding trees, which seemed to have changed from plants to animals, pulled their thick roots out of the ground, and then pounced on the snow trolls.
Although the individual combat power of the Treant Guard is not as strong as that of the Snow Troll, it is superior to the number of people, and several trees are lying horizontally and vertically crushing the Snow Troll under him, creating a situation where Sivi and the Skeleton Mage are one-on-one.
As soon as the skeleton mage saw this, he immediately knew that he had been fooled. Sivi had dragged the Snow Troll to fly a kite just to lure it out, probably because he simply didn't want to fight castle battles.
At this time, Xiwei's face was full of smiles, and a golden flame rose from his empty left hand.
Although it seemed like a little too much of a fuss about this skeleton, Sivi decided to solve it in one go with Radiant Flame Break - because this move had just been perfected a little, and Sylvie also wanted to try it to see how powerful the Radiant Flame Break would be after the improvement, and he thought he wouldn't have a chance to use it when he was fighting in the cave before.
Although the skeleton didn't know what magic he planned to cast, from the golden flames and the surging magic in his hand, he knew that the Dao was definitely not a petty fight like just now.
It sensibly weighed the gap between itself and Sivi, and then decisively threw the wooden staff in its hand to the ground, raising its hands in a surrender form.
"Wait, I'm surrendering." It said to Sivi in an unchanging tone, "Human, you win. β
"What do you do with me if you surrender!"
Sivi didn't intend to let it go, he wasn't naΓ―ve enough to think that after the other party surrendered, he wouldn't trouble Alyssa and them.
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I can sacrifice my magic core to sign a master-servant contract with you. The skeleton continued.
As the basis of the existence of skeletons, their magic core, the true name of the demon, and the human soul are called the three root contracts, and they can be used as collateral to sign contracts with others.
If it uses its own magic element core to sign a master-servant contract with Xiwei, then if it wants to break away from this contract, it can only wait for its strength to far surpass Xiwei, or if Xiwei takes the initiative to terminate the contract, otherwise even if it destroys the magic element core, it will not be able to get rid of the contract......
"Why do you want to do this?" Sivi asked curiously, "Shouldn't the skeleton be afraid of death?" β
"I'm not afraid of death, but I still have to do something. I'm not going to let death catch up with me until that's done. Even if you want to be your servant for it. The skeleton said in his usual emotionless tone. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
