Chapter 0442: Fleeing in embarrassment
The young mage, who couldn't see with both eyes, was also shocked, and he didn't dare to be hit by this spell, so he flew to the side in a panic. But as soon as his body moved, the gray aura that had flown halfway shook for a while, and it instantly turned into three identical gray halos, heading towards him and left and right.
Li Xun was horrified, and he didn't care about any mage etiquette, so he hurriedly opened an arbitrary door and plunged in.
Fortunately, although the other party wanted to seal the connection between this half-plane and the outside world, he did not prohibit the use of the internal teleportation spell of the half-plane, which allowed Li Xun to escape from the energy absorption technique in a dangerous way.
The needle-like red glow in Lux's eyes flickered as he stood still, obviously surprised, he definitely didn't expect that a young mage who had just stepped into the high level could escape from its carefully organized spell combination.
This is a 9th-order spell!
Even if it has the foundation of a Saint-level lich, it is not something that can be put if you want to. The reason why he was able to cast it so quickly was because Lux had stored the energy absorption technique in the bone staff early, and then he wanted to capture this treacherous little guy in one fell swoop with the cover of lightning.
Lux's Bone Staff is a superb piece of equipment refined from the backbone bone extracted from the body of a great demon in the Abyss, and although it does not meet the standards of legendary items, it is far superior to ordinary magic items. This bone staff can store 1 9th-order spell and 2 8th-order spells, and if Li Xun is allowed to preside over the appraisal, then it has already reached the rarity of a 4th-order treasure.
You must know that the fourth-order treasure can be a secondary artifact if it goes one step further, that is, the grade of the legendary items in the Klein Continent. And legendary items are what many legendary characters can't ask for.
Although Lux has been a Saint-Order Lich for decades, he has not created his own legendary spells, so for it, except for some peak spells, the Rank 9 spell is already the highest spell it can cast. This accidental miss made it inevitable that the difficulty of the arrest plan it formulated would increase a few points more.
Because the other two 8th-order spells stored in its bone staff, one being withering and the other being life-stealing, were not suitable for today's occasion.
The lich Lux, who was standing in the air, couldn't help but snort coldly, and a huge ruby ring on the hand of the smooth bone flashed, and an astonishing "Cloud Burning Technique" with a large area covered the position where the young mage was about to appear.
So, when Li Xun staggered out from the arbitrary gate a hundred meters away, he was greeted by a cloud of fire, thick black smoke, and a tumbling heat wave. The ravaged mage shield and energy shield outside the body shattered at the same time, if it weren't for the existence of elemental protection, Li Xun might have been planted directly on this Cloud Burning Technique.
This also shows the perversion of the mage profession. An orthodox mage who has completed the preparation for spellcasting, not to mention the stone skin (stone skin technique), mirror shadow, anti-magic martial arts, various illusions (hazy arts), and golden bell jar (energy shield), spell shields, spell traps, invalid enchantments, and spell immunity protection are all indispensable. There are even more perverts who also use methods to avoid prophecy, plus all kinds of elemental protection, they really can't see or touch, they can only watch him as a prestige.
It's a pity that at this moment, Li Xun's external protection has been stripped of himself, and he can only cough violently all the way out of the Cloud Burning Technique, and what is facing him is a thick dark green "Dissociation Technique".
Li Xun still cared about what image he was afraid of at the moment, he screamed strangely, and instantly lifted his flying technique outside his body, so the whole person fell down crookedly like a heavy weighing stone. Although he was a bit wolf, it worked well, and once again he managed to escape the Lich's sneak attack.
However, there were still more than 20 meters under his feet from the ice peak, and the sharp ice cubes on the ice peak were intertwined, and there was nowhere to put his feet. This has to fall directly on it, and with Li Xun's protection at the moment, it is almost impossible to escape.
Falling out of thin air, Li Xun's body had completely lost its balance, and he almost fell headfirst down. Seeing the flickering ice cube pillar enlarging in front of him at an extremely high speed, Li Xun couldn't help but exclaim. But the cold wind that howled poured into his gaping mouth, and pushed back the series of exclamations.
Fortunately, he hadn't completely forgotten his identity as a mage, and finally gave himself a levitation technique before he made contact. Under the dual effect of stone skin + levitation, the young mage escaped with a blue nose and swollen face, and did not care about dealing with the many abrasions on his body, and tapped the tip of the icicle with one high and one low foot and continued to flee outward.
Sure enough, not far after escaping, a series of bursting fireballs fell from the sky, and in the loud "boom" sound, the ice spear jungle where the young mage had just landed was blown into a mess. The fog of ice slag that collapsed and splashed in the explosion instantly filled the surroundings, and when the lich drove the wind to blow the ice dust away, the young mage was no longer to be found on the ice peak.
"Ran away or hidden?" Lux moved his figure to the sky above the last place where the young mage had appeared, and with the blessing of auxiliary spells such as True Vision, Eagle Eye, and Magical Vision, he carefully scanned every suspicious area on the ice peak.
Soon, Lux's eyes were fixed on a collapsed pile of ice. Under the magical visual light, there is an extremely faint magical aura and almost negligible life reactions.
Seeing that there was nothing to hide, the ice pile exploded with a "bang", and a white-haired mouse with fluffy fur flew out of it, and after a sting, it turned into another ice spear prismatic group. As it turned left and right between the gaps in the ice, under the refraction of the translucent icicles, there were countless thin mouse figures swaying and running for a while, which was dazzling.
But until the mouse ran away without a trace, the lich Lux stood still in place, and even raised his bone staff to the ice where the white-haired mouse was hiding. It had been torn apart by the impact of the air wave that had just erupted, and the center of the ice pile had completely exploded, and there was no corner to hide in at a glance.
But when the lich's bone staff moved, a light and shadow shook in an empty clearing in the center of the ice. When the distorted vision returned to normal, the fluffy-haired, white-haired mouse with a mobble-eyed eye was revealed inside.
A humanized bitter smile appeared on the slender face of the mouse looking up at the sky, and then black smoke erupted around him, and his body began to swell up like an inflat. 3 After bending his fingers, the young mage with black hair and black eyes, dressed in tattered mage robes, appeared in the field again.
"Transfiguration of the Self" is a very useful spell, but unfortunately compared to the druids who specialize in Transfiguration, all the changes that can be made are harmless small animals, which are far less practical and fierce than the druids' transformation monsters.
"How did you find me? I feel like that phantom has been made realistic enough! Li Xun asked unconvinced.
He feels good about himself, and the trick just now is definitely perfect enough, but it's a pity that he was caught by the enemy for the first time.
Now that his mana has been consumed, his body has also dropped significantly, and most importantly, the various spell protections outside his body have been exhausted. Now that you're so close to the Lich, there's no chance you'll ever have a chance to replenish your spell protection.
By now, the anger had subsided, the spell protection was gone, and the lich's fear was unobstructed, and the young mage needed to grit his teeth to suppress the fear in his heart.
The lich Lux stared coldly at the young mage in front of him, only to see that his face was pale, his body was shaking slightly uncontrollably, and he was obviously afraid to die, but he still gritted his teeth and resisted his spiritual coercion, refusing to drop the staff in his hand and bow his head to admit defeat.
"Put down your weapons, let go of your spirit, I just need to set a command spell in your spirit, and you can continue to live!" The Lich Lux's voice was dry and hoarse, and his words were even more cold and indifferent to undead creatures, without a trace of the vitality of a living person.
"Commanding? What kind of commanding technique? Li Xun heard the inexplicable answer from the lich's mouth, and there were more questions in his heart.
The needle-like red glow in the deep eyes of the lich Lux became more and more red, and the speed of his speech couldn't help but speed up a little: "Little one, don't expect to delay time. I don't care what your pet has been messing with over there. Even with her, a little guy who hasn't even crossed level 16, it's impossible to destroy the barrier of the dead that I have set up! How's it going, have you thought about it? If you refuse, I'll have to take your soul with me!" ”
With that, the lich Lux's bony left hand flipped over, revealing a large and dazzling soul gem in the palm of his palm.
Li Xun's heart couldn't help but sink.
Soul Gems, which are the best treasures for necromancers and lichs to collect souls. The necromancers who dealt with Li Xun in the past were of low level, so they were equipped with soul balls, which only had the effect of binding the soul, and the soul gem in Lux's hand could not only bind the soul, but also extract the knowledge fragments in the soul.
It can be said that the death of an enemy at the hands of a necromancer or a lich is only the beginning, not the end, of a life of suffering. The evil lich has many of the world's most famous magical techniques and methods for torturing souls and torturing souls, and in their hands, you should no longer try to keep any secrets.
In the face of the Lich, death is not terrible, but what is terrible is the never-ending, repeated torture. Therefore, fighting the Lich, remember that you must keep a means that you can blow up your soul, or you will definitely regret your cowardice for a while.
Li Xun looked into the distance irritably, the expression on his face was uncertain, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"It's weird, the ghost girl was assigned to do that by herself, but what about Catherine? She doesn't look like someone who has escaped! Why hasn't I seen her for so long? Li Xun muttered to himself: "If she distracts the other party's attention, she may be able to circle for a while." But now it's a good thing, she can't be seen at all at the top of the entire ice peak, could it really be that she ran away? ”
The Lich's request is unacceptable. Although Li Xun is very afraid of death, he still has this hard temper. Once they fall into the hands of the Council of the Dead, the new accounts and the old accounts will be counted together, and the enemies will not torture themselves for hundreds of years and will be sorry for the crown of evil lich on their heads!
Just as the lich Lux lost his patience and waved his hand to create a deep black ripple of magic, the ice peak under the young mage's feet shook to the ground, and it made a tooth-aching "squeak" sound.
Lux the Lich was horrified.
