Chapter 114: Reciprocating Motion
A mushroom cloud that was supposed to set off turned into a fan-shaped shockwave at this moment. Waves of fire climbed against the sloping roof, soon enveloping Barrett. When he found that the situation was wrong, he did not make any useless resistance, but only covered up his vital points. Because Barrett found that even if he activated the acceleration upward flight, he could not escape this heat wave.
Spell resistance didn't take effect in this baptism of flames, and even the 'flash' technique, which had been used as a barrier, didn't work this time to prevent doom from coming. The hands wrapped in the full set were slightly scorched under the flames, and the eyebrows and hair were almost all carbonized.
Fortunately, the effect of the Blood Relay Talisman (Strange) caused a change in the part that Barrett used to block the knife. So although the image looks quite tragic, the actual injuries are not life-threatening. Barrett, who waited until the flames disappeared, spit out a mouthful of black smoke from his mouth: "This is really powerful, I don't know if it's an enhancement super demon." But a fan-shaped fireball? Could it be the Dragon's Breath? No, I did see the orb aggregate before it exploded. So what's going on just now? Sculpting control? Spell shaping? Flame shaping? Or the signature spell ......"
Shaping Mastery is an advanced arcane ability for advanced class mages. Spell shaping is not uncommon for supermagic specialties. Flame Sculpting is a rare ability exclusive to Flame School mages. Signature spells, on the other hand, are enhancements to a single spell that certain casters receive for a specific price. Each of these abilities can cause the same spell effect as before. Of course, what Barrett is doing now is what he doesn't want to appear is the ability to shape and control.
Because the prerequisite for the advancement of the Grand Mage is to be able to cast the Seven Rings Arcane and know at least five different schools of 5 Ring or higher spells. In other words, if the opponent just used the shape control, then he is likely to be able to cast the 8-ring spell. Such an enemy Barrett would never want to meet at the moment, because he saw no prospect of victory.
Thanks to the fan-shaped spell of the dragon's breath, the ladder not far from the point of explosion and the attackers who climbed on it. Except for the shock when the fireball exploded, it was not affected much. The man who had almost succeeded in sneaking up on Barrett's Mammoth Warrior before seemed to think that Barrett was no longer capable of fighting. So he didn't care about the heat, so he pressed his hand to the position where the fireball broke out before, intending to wait on the roof with this strength.
But when his palm touched the roof, the brute found that it had just been burned by the flames, and it was still cold to the touch. It seems that the previous spells didn't have a direct effect on the building. Barrett, who opened his eyes for the first time after the baptism of the fire, immediately spotted the palm rubbing near the eaves.
"You guys don't think I'm dead!" Barrett who thinks of this. Immediately, he pulled out a bottle of potion from his waist and poured it into his mouth. Immediately, he felt that the wounds on his body that had been stinging from the burning became much more comfortable.
In the absence of Clematis, this injury could only be sustained by potions and strange objects. After hastily treating his wounds, Barrett immediately slid his legs and rushed to the spot where another enemy would land.
"Ahh At the same time, the palm was left on the roof forever to say goodbye to its owner. The sharp pain in his arm, and the posture of the other party as he climbed, immediately made the guy who had just almost made Barrett hang the lottery out of balance. When he fell down the ladder, the guy instinctively waved his limbs. But after the heavy impact, the bloody creature didn't move again.
Barrett, who was somewhat out of breath in his heart, immediately resumed his previous work. The fiery glue he took out of his arms was slammed into the ladder underground. As the bottle burst in the collision. The alchemical that came into contact with the air immediately burst into flames. They ignited the top of the ladder and swooped down the ladder following the trail left by the grease from earlier.
The original ladder turned into a large burning worm in a matter of moments. And the mammoth barbarians that were still on it were like the fluff of the giant worm, constantly falling down in a violent sway. These attackers, who voluntarily jumped under the threat of flames, had time to adjust their balance and landing position, so they were in decent condition except for sprains and contusions.
However, because the injured part is either the ball of the foot or the ankle, it will be difficult for those guys to complete the ladder siege operation until they recover. And the mammoths who discovered that the ladder had been ignited immediately cast a spell to extinguish the fire - after all, the number of these siege machines brought from their lair was very limited, and if they destroyed one, there would be one less!
As for the issue of rebuilding from local materials, not to mention that the attackers did not have so many craftsmen on hand. The source of the material alone is a big problem. You must know that the ladder with a height of four floors is not something that can be built with any wood. Selected shaded woods. Special soaking in the air-drying process. Combined with the processing of skilled craftsmen, we can get qualified products. Otherwise, before the user reaches the top, the ladder may fall apart.
At the same time, in order to prevent Barrett from further destroying the ladder, several spellcasters who were originally hidden were also exposed at this time - acid and hot wire immediately flew towards the position where Barrett had emerged before. Barrett, who had expected this, did not have any love for it, but shrank back as soon as he found that the fiery glue had ignited the ladder. Therefore, the opponent's counterattack was stopped by the temple building, which was almost immune to spells. It just adds a bit of color to the night sky.
At the same time, a silver bolt of lightning shot out of the temple, and the electric light jumped back and forth between the victims in the square like a poisonous snake seeking its target. Immediately after that, a wave of arrows that were not dense but had excellent crosshairs also flew towards the mammoth dynasty guys with lightning.
Only this time, many of their chosen targets were equipped with spells to protect against ranged attacks—a matter that the caster had always been very careful about. So the results are worrying. Only the caster who had been struck by the thick thunder at the beginning fell down convulsively after the lightning moved away from him. Because of the principle of electrical signals of nerves, Barrett could not tell whether he was dead or alive when he shook on the ground.
But wait until that barrage of lightning is gone. Barrett spotted several of the attackers who were having problems with their movements because of the electric shock. He touched his chin and said, "Chain lightning! I guess I'd really like to see the look on Pastor Gatsby's face! This kind of scroll is not cheap in the first place, and if Rielly fails a few more times, the old face of the other party may cry out......"
Unfortunately, although the mammoth barbarians paid a little price, they also managed to extinguish the flames on the ladder. In a short period of time, even the alchemical potion could not completely incinerate the ladder of the trait, let alone the flames that relied on grease for the most part. Barrett, who carefully observed his results. Shaking his head helplessly: "Do you want me to fly down and cut that damn ladder?" In this case, let's not talk about the problem of the other party's fire, just succeeding in giving me a lifting spell is enough for me to drink a pot......"
Thinking of this, Barrett became a little hesitant, after all, if he destroyed the ladder and did not fall into the square, he was not optimistic about what would happen to him after being besieged: "I don't know if the teleportation system of the temple can pull me in from the square!" ’
'Do you want to gamble once?' Otherwise, would you stay on it all night? Barrett's thoughts were already clearly biased, "Anyway, I haven't exposed the effects of flying before, so if you plan to do this." Maybe it works......
Barrett, who had already made up his mind, took a deep breath and swapped the 'Broken Peak' for a one-handed grip. Then he jumped out of the eaves with small steps. Barrett, who was half in the air, suddenly stretched his free hand back as he fell. Immediately after the relay, he slid down next to the wall hammer on his own.
This sudden change seems to be beyond the imagination of those mammoth barbarians. Combined with the impact of the previous spell strikes, this time their movements were all half a beat slower. Barrett, who had turned on the flashing technique, fell at the same time, and the 'brush' was a volley of three swords. And the ladder beside him couldn't withstand the test of 'Broken Peak' at all. Before Barrett could drop half of his height, he was noticeably more than half shorter.
"Not enough! That's not enough. If you don't destroy it completely. If the time for the other party to fix it is too short, then it makes no sense. "Thinking of this, Barrett clenched the 'broken peak' is a slash. With a loud sound, Barrett's weapon slashed into the object's flaw.
The area that was cut immediately after that was not the same as the previous one was flat. Instead, the whole piece shattered and exploded a moment later. Faced with such a defect, even if those guys from the Mammoth Dynasty wanted to use spells to repair it, it would take a lot of effort.
Of course, the guys of the Mammoth Dynasty couldn't have allowed Barrett to destroy their vital siege engines. The attackers in the square immediately set fire to Barrett. Acid, thunder, flames, frozen gas, sound waves, and force fields. All kinds of single spells immediately flew towards Barrett who was falling.
There are constantly spells that disappear less than a centimeter from Barrett. Spells continued to hit the wall behind Barrett's body without a ripple. However, there were still a few spells that managed to hit Barrett's body. The same arrows that were the luckier ones made Barrett's breastplate clange.
Faced with this situation, Barrett could only grit his teeth and hold on. Although he was able to intercept most of the high-speed directional spells with the 'Sword Blade Barrier', the destruction of the ladder would inevitably be affected. The strong physique resists under the tear of the spell. The spiritual barrier is turbulent under the blow of supernatural abilities.
"Smack! After the buzzing sound, Barrett only felt his scalp tingle, and saw that less than 3 centimeters above his head, an arrow shaft with the thickness of a jujube was constantly changing on the fence - it was a giant crossbow fired by a mammoth dynasty guy with a ballista unloaded from the ship.
And the bolt wasn't off target. Rather, he had just passed through Barrett's body that had entered the spirit realm. If it hadn't worked properly, Barrett, who was focused on destroying the ladder, might have been nailed to the temple's outer wall by that thing. However, he was already close to the ground at this time, and the four-story ladder was almost completely broken and badly damaged.
And the mammoth barbarians in the square also immediately organized people to pounce on the landing site that Barrett was about to reach. It seems that they want to bury this bold guy in their eyes completely.
However, Barrett, who felt that he had not been hurt too much, used the effect of the flying technique to cushion before landing. When the feet touch the ground, they slide quickly, changing the shape of the body that was originally facing away from the square to face it, and at the same time, activating the acceleration effect on the shoes. Immediately after squatting with both legs, he suddenly slammed into the air, and his whole body soared into the air with a 'whoosh'.
The flying effect, which had never been fully displayed before, could instantly free Barrett from the shackles of gravity. The effect of the acceleration allowed him to rise far faster than normal flight, and the attackers who pounced on Barrett failed completely. However, the mammoth, who has the ability to strike from a distance, did not give up.
Fortunately, this time, Barrett, who was finally able to free up his weapons, turned the 'broken peak' in his hand into an impregnable city wall. Blocked by the silver screen, all the attacks were sent out with a 'sonorous' sound. Not much really falls on Barrett.
Thanks to the effects of the two spells, Barrett was able to climb faster than he could when he fell. This makes it difficult for even enemy casters who want to undo the effects of their spells to succeed in their goals. And Barrett, who returned to the roof, once again hid in a blind corner of the square that could not be observed.
"It's dangerous! It's dangerous! If I take it any longer, I'm afraid my HP will be empty. Looking at his character panel, Barrett let out a long sigh. Immediately afterward, a healing vial was removed. Because he can't go back to the temple to rest in the future, Laluk is still waiting for him on the other side! (To be continued.) )
PS: Modify the wording. Thanks to the big monthly passes of "Clear Night Starry Sky", "Yue Ren Yu Tian" and "There is a name to look good". At the same time, I would like to thank "Assasinger" for his great tip.
