Chapter 151: Ambushed (3)
"Well, it looks like they're evenly matched." Standing side by side with Ryan, Alendor whispered in Ryan's ear, "What the hell is that thing?"
Ryan briefly explained the origin of the Void Djinn, and then pointed to the attacker mage who was captured alive by Elondo and said, "I don't know if he has a Djinn, this kind of thing similar to a magic pet is quite troublesome to create, but it is also quite useful." ”
"Ah, why don't you create one, Teacher Fabia?" asked Barbara in a whisper.
Ryan smiled, and seeing that everyone present had the same question, he explained, "This djinn is exclusive, for example, if you create a fire djinn with the power of fire, it will be connected to you, and you can use it as if it were part of your body, but you should not expect to use other types of magic from now on." ”
Ryan paused, remembering the strange magic of those mages just now, and said again: "Like the mage just now, seeing that they are using some shadow magic, I estimate that most of them are evil mages with fallen souls, this kind of mages can quickly gain strong power by selling their souls, but their strength is basically impossible to improve, and there will be a lot of trouble after the soul sacrifice, such as being hunted down by the Holy Knight, the Light Priest or the Bounty Hunter." ”
"Oh, I see. Barbara nodded, and then focused on the battle outside the camp, at this time, the fire elemental had already occupied the absolute upper hand, and the body of the Void Djinn had shrunk to less than one-third of what it was just now, and the victory or defeat was basically clear.
Just when everyone thought that the battle was about to end, the body of the Void Djinn suddenly contracted sharply, shrinking to only the size of a fist in the blink of an eye, and the flame elemental movement that had lost its target immediately stopped, standing in place. However, when the flame elemental stopped moving, the Void Djinn quickly began to expand again, and its body became at least ten times larger in an instant. When the djinn outgrew itself in size, the explosion occurred.
The first to bear the brunt was the flame elemental, its body was torn apart by the powerful force generated by the Void Djinn's self-explosion, and then began to quickly dissolve, decompose, and disappear without a trace. And the power of the Void Djinn after its self-explosion did not consume much, and it still expanded in all directions.
Ryan erected a huge wall of fire outside his camp to block the power of the Void Djinn's self-detonation, because the fire system and shadow magic are different, so the evil energy generated by the self-explosion was slowly offset by the fire energy contained in Ryan's wall of fire.
When Ryan's wall of fire had completed its mission and disappeared, the whole inexplicable assault battle was over. Moses and a few of his men walked around the camp with torches in high aloft and found no outlets, and because it was too dark for them to search carefully, they had to retreat.
With the help of the bonfire that Moses lit outside the camp, everyone saw the result of the Void Djinn detonation: a huge pit with a diameter of more than 10 meters, and the ground on three sides away from the camp was charred black, and all the bodies of the attackers were turned into dried corpses.
Barbara once again asked the question that everyone was concerned about: "Teacher Fabia, since the power of this djinn self-explosion is so great, why are there so few magicians who practice this kind of magic?"
Ryan patted Barbara's little head and said to her, "The result of the Void Djinn self-detonation is the same as the magician's self-detonation, and that attacker mage will definitely not survive to dawn." Whether it's magic or martial arts, there are no shortcuts, and the only way to improve your strength is to work hard, hard, and work hard. ”
Barbara nodded thoughtfully.
After experiencing such an inexplicable battle, Ryan had no intention of resting, he pulled Alendor to find a secluded place to chat in detail about their respective experiences in the past 3 years, and also discussed the plan after returning to the imperial capital, the two of them were very confident in working together to defeat Catherine, but when it came to the demigod lich hidden in the other world, Ryan and Alendor felt helpless.
As the sun rose over the eastern horizon, Ryan and Alendor reluctantly agreed, in order to ensure suddenness, Ryan and Alendor would return to the imperial capital when the registration deadline was approaching, and then find a suitable opportunity to tell Victor about this opportunity, and then relay it to Faras through Victor.
There is no way to do this, after all, Faras is now a high-ranking female consul of the empire, and it is not easy to see her in her current identity with Ryan's current status, and even if she does, it is very eye-catching, and it is impossible to avoid the inquiry of people with intentions, and it is not good if Catherine is alarmed.
At the edge of the camp, Adams smiled in front of Letoz and took out 10 gold coins and handed them to Adra, which was the bet they made last night, Letoz didn't speak, but he had a new assessment of Ryan and Cassano's strength in his heart. As for Moses, he and Nancy led people to count the leather armor that was removed from the corpses, and continued to ask his men to search for the corpses repeatedly, but unfortunately they could not find any useful clues at all.
Although there are no clues, this is enough to show the seriousness of the problem, a mercenary group of more than 100 people, the members are all well-trained warriors, I am afraid that only the army can reach this level, but I don't know which force these attackers belong to, after all, including the imperial capital, several forces around Cassano have this kind of strength.
When it was dawn, the caravan head who was camping nearby came with his men to offer condolences, in fact, they knew that there was a battle on Ryan's side last night, but out of the idea of protecting themselves, they just stuck to their camp. For this kind of wall grass, Ryan didn't bother to pay attention to them, and sent them away after a few casual words.
Soon, Ryan and the others were back on their way, and the caravan continued on its way after a while, but the caravan lacked a few mercenaries, and the leader of the caravan turned a blind eye to this, as if his caravan had not hired those mercenaries at all. Last night, Ryan and the others' performance in the battle, as well as the assessment of Cassano's latest strength, were quickly sent back to their masters by these mercenaries who were spies in their own ways, and the forces that had begun to pay attention to the entire Cassano since the Battle of Iron Fist Castle also began to re-evaluate Cassano according to various information from their subordinates.
