Chapter 171 Corpse Witch (2)(1/2)
The blazing flames instantly expanded into a big fireball, releasing an instant high temperature of thousands of degrees. In the deafening roar, the shock wave and hot wind blew the robe that Pei Renli had picked up.
Although he opened the random door above the corpse witch's head, it was actually not high.
On the one hand, it is to shorten the flight distance of the spell so that the corpse witch has no chance to escape the coverage of the fireball. On the other hand, it is for safety reasons.
Pei Renli didn't think at all that he could blow up the corpse witch with one fireball.
As expected, a dark figure appeared in the dispersed flames, and you could clearly see him raising his right hand towards Pei Renli, shooting out a bright red scorching ray.
Pei Renli, who had been mentally prepared, casually ended the effect of the Feather Falling Technique. Due to the sudden acceleration of his fall, the scorching ray originally aimed at his chest flew over his head.
It's time to thank the Adventurer School for the basic training.
About three or four meters above the ground, Pei Renli made preparations for landing and rolled on the spot to remove the impact.
Then he made a very un-Mage move.
——Pick up the staff and hit it.
The mage's staff is essentially a stick. The Swift Light Staff is made of brass and has enchantments. It may be better used as a cold weapon to hit people than Varela's wrought copper staff.
Generally speaking, when a mage picks up a guy, it's basically because the magic power is exhausted and there is really no other way, but Pei Renli obviously doesn't do it.
Judging from the current situation, the Corpse Witch is good at evoking spells and is very good at outputting large amounts of firepower, but its accuracy is really unsatisfactory. Pei Renli estimates that its zombie body is holding it back.
I have seen more than once that his movements are stiff, his casting speed is fast, but his aim is poor. This is the reason.
By getting closer, you can avoid being blasted into the sky by powerful evocation spells, and also severely attack the corpse witch's weakness of stiffness in movement.
Maybe he didn't expect Pei Renli to come up and swing the stick. The distance between the two parties was not far, and the staff was a little longer than the sword. Pei Renli hit the magic shield of the corpse witch, and the latter finally got it.
reaction.
A layer of fine cold mist rose up from his rotten and blue palm, and he slapped Pei Renli with his backhand.
It was a melee contact spell called Extreme Cold Touch, and the hit determination was as simple as just touching the target.
With a click, the outermost shield was shattered, leaving only the last defensive mage armor.
Pei Renli saw this and shouted:
"Reverse Electric Vendetta!"
Before the corpse witch could take back the hand that had just defeated the shield, the violent electric current struck back, making it flinch like it was breakdancing.
The spell of Counter-Electric Vendetta can only be activated at the moment of being hit. Many times, Pei Renli is directly knocked away and has no time to use it.
Its effect is also literal, using lightning to counterattack in the direction of the attack source.
This bounced the Corpse Witch away, and all the remaining electric current hit its magic shield. The magic shield that had been tortured by the fireball spell was defeated by the electric current, which was almost equivalent to both sides losing a layer of shield at the same time.
From the situation point of view, Pei Renli still does not have an advantage. After all, he only has one layer of mage armor left.
So he stepped forward, and the front end of the staff lit up with surging lightning:
"Electrode Technique!"
Melee spells are more powerful than long-range spells of the same level. The Corpse Witch seemed to be afraid that his magic shield would disappear if he continued to be beaten. He hurriedly reached out to grab the staff, but he just happened to catch the head of the staff.
The effect is basically the same as touching an electric baton with bare hands.
Facts have proven that even if a zombie has no pain, it cannot control whether its muscles contract when it is shocked.
So not only was Bai shocked, but Pei Renli was also asked to attack the inner layer of magic shield again.
But in this world, where there is a spear, there is a shield. It is very uncomfortable for a mage to be approached, and the mage himself knows it best.
Considering that Corpse Witch is currently good at evoking spells, the spell it will choose to break the situation...
Almost the next moment the spell took effect, Pei Renli immediately drew a rune:
"Fire Explosion!"
Two balls of flames flew out from under the robes of Pei Renli and the Corpse Witch respectively, and rumbles and explosions mixed with shock waves spread towards the surroundings.
Since Pei Renli had predicted the Corpse Witch's next move, it was obvious that the Corpse Witch's casting speed was faster. It was more like they activated the Flame Explosion at the same time.
The result of simultaneous explosions is naturally to be blown up together. With the same spell, the Corpse Witch has a higher level, and Pei Renli has the staff increase, so it is barely a tie. The impact of the hedging did not cause much damage to Pei Renli or the Corpse Witch.
Big damage.
【Your Majesty the Demon King, please ask your subordinates to help】
Ravna said through the psychic link:
[It’s too dangerous to continue like this]
The exact level of the Corpse Witch is unclear, but it is obviously much higher than Pei Renli, and his hard power as a mage, that is, in terms of magic power, far exceeds that of Pei Renli.
The current situation was achieved entirely because of Pei Renli's proper tactical choices, and it was also related to the corpse witch's low IQ as an undead creature.
But if we continue to face each other head-on, the gap in strength will inevitably become apparent as the battle continues.
[I have no problem for now, let the maid golem do as I say]
[…Okay, I will obey my orders]
Repliing Ravna in his heart, Perenli was about to close the distance with the corpse witch again, when he saw the latter snap off his little finger and throw it away.
The broken finger turned into an undead hound covered in rotten flesh in mid-air. As soon as it landed on the ground, it immediately rushed towards Pei Renli with bared teeth.
Pei Renli had to deal with it first, so he had to take out the scroll and throw it out.
The summoned giant eagle soared into the sky again, swung around and grabbed the undead hound from the side, and drove it to the other side according to Pei Renli's order.
And this little time was enough for the Corpse Witch to react.
Its hands lit up with the red light of the Evocation School, and it aimed towards Pei Renli, who was moving to the left trying to avoid the shooting line.
A molten ball as viscous as magma hit Pei Renli's feet. Although it was smashed crookedly, the flames that sputtered still made it difficult for him to breathe. There were also some spots on the mage's armor as a final defense.
crack.
The short distance is also a double-edged sword, which will shorten the flight time of Pei Renli's spells and increase the hit rate. This is the same for the Corpse Witch.
However, Pei Renli completed the last rune at this time, and he swung the staff like a fishing rod:
"Shadow Tentacles!"
A ten-meter-long shadow tentacle popped out from the head of the staff, touched along the edge of the corpse witch's defensive spell, and contracted its muscles like a real tentacle, pulling the corpse witch up from where it was.
Although Shadow Tentacles appear to be a school of conjuration, they are actually a school of illusion, which transforms shadow power into the shape of tentacles to attack or interfere.
Since it takes time for Pei Renli to get close by himself, drag the Corpse Witch over and continue to beat it in the face!
Seeing the corpse witch getting closer and closer, Pei Renli interrupted the effect of the shadow tentacles and let go of the staff and patted it:
"Stand Knife!"
Under the influence of inertia, the corpse witch seemed to have hit the stance blade that popped out from the front of the staff. Its magic shield cracked again and was not far from being shattered.
Counting this time, Pei Renli has already pried open the three layers of magic shield of the Corpse Witch. No matter how hard he stacks up the armor, there shouldn't be much left.
Pei Renli decided to keep up his efforts and prepared to use his backhand to protect the Corpse Witch from the side.
At the moment when it almost hit, the corpse witch's image was distorted, and the stance knife directly cut off the distorted shadow.
It was at this time that Pei Renli saw that the original undead caster had disappeared, replaced by an undead hound whose waist was cut off with a sword.
Teleportation spells, displacement tricks!
The effect of this spell is that you can exchange the positions of yourself and the summoned creature.
Realizing this, Pei Renli turned around and saw that where the undead hound had been, the corpse witch raised his right hand towards him and the giant eagle that happened to be lined up.
Different from before, what lights up this time is not the magical aura of the Evocation School, but a dark and unpleasant shadow.
The next moment, the negative energy erupted like a spring directly hit the giant eagle, knocking it back to its own plane again. The dead black energy left conspicuous twisted ripples in the air.
This is a negative energy shock wave, a typical necromantic school spell.
The attack range of the negative energy shock wave is a fan. To avoid it in the left and right directions is to seek death. Pei Renli can only turn around and run away.
Since the distance was once again widened, and the giant eagle didn't block it, the negative energy shock wave failed to complete the feat of two in a row.
But just because the distance has been widened again, it is not so easy for Pei Renli to close the distance again.
As the saying goes, saints will not be defeated by the same trick. Regardless of whether it is a saying or not, the first time you suffer a loss is purely in the category of paying tuition. It is inevitable to be fooled, and you have already prepared yourself to fall into the same trap again.
That means being crushed by combat power.
So even if Pei Renli uses Any Gate to bring justice from heaven, I'm afraid it will be him who is taught how to behave.
He reached out and drew a rune, and the green magic aura of the Transformation School gathered on the soles of his feet. With a leap, Pei Renli jumped over a wall that was three meters high.
This wall may have been newly built by the organizers of the garden party, and it is much stronger than the remains of the ruins itself. When climbing over the wall, you can hear the explosion of fire and the corrosion of acid from behind.
Sizzle, if you go slower, I'm afraid the mage armor won't be able to withstand it.
But the Corpse Witch arrived faster than expected. As soon as Pei Renli landed on the ground, he heard a loud bang from behind.
The brick wall was shattered by the spell, and rubble and smoke hit the mage's armor like raindrops, making a crisp sound.
The smoke and dust in the sky obscured Pei Renli's vision. Just as he was about to raise his staff and shoot a lightning arrow, he saw a corrupt, even maggot-infested hand emerging from the smoke and opening its fingers towards him.
To be continued...
