Chapter 3 The Mist Dog
The extraordinary wizard pulled back the light blade and threw the Ranger Captain who had lost his life to the ground.
This is the extraordinary caster. The Rangers team has no power to fight back in front of him.
In Halandil's cognition, the extraordinary people of each path have different characteristics, and the mystery gives them strong defense, superhuman power, irresistible agility, insight into microscopic perception, or concealment and flicker, communicate with animals and plants, hypnosis and hallucination, and call out creatures, plagues and mutations from other planes.
According to the extraordinary characteristics, the extraordinary are divided into different promotion paths such as rangers, witch hunters, paladins, priests, druids, etc., and they restrain or strengthen each other.
These powers that transcend mortal cognition are the mystery given by the existence of the person of the gods or the ancient inheritance. The extraordinary person of a specific path is fortunate to hold on to one of them, which is a great favor. The mystery of trying to occupy different paths at the same time is extremely dangerous, and may lead to tragic death or madness.
However, among many extraordinary sequences, there is a completely different power.
That is the power of magic.
Sorcerers who have been strictly studied and trained can use special psychic energy to construct magic forms, simulate powerful shields, or give themselves thunderstorm-like speed and lethality. If they wish, the spell can also make items float, move or disappear, seize the enemy's weapons and mind, and they can do almost everything.
Wizards with magical powers are the rulers of this world, and they can merge mysterious forces that are completely different or even conflicting with each other. For rangers, witchers, paladins and priests, experienced combat wizards are like natural enemies.
Halandil's legs were paralyzed. He had seriously injured his legs in a very short battle just now. He was hit by the high-voltage current and could no longer stand up.
The extraordinary wizard who had just killed Captain Bren stood there. His figure looked like an adult man, wearing a flashing armor, his face hidden in refraction and could not be seen clearly.
The whole body of the wizard's body is made of strange material, not metal or leather, and it ripples with strange brilliance like flowing liquid.
This is the characteristic of the spell "Master Armor". The caster's body is not tough, and it is not even stronger than mortals. In order to protect themselves, they often use their psychic energy to supplement mysterious gems and materials to build a magic shield surrounding the whole body. The rangers' previous shooting of the storm hit the ball lightning-like shield. Before the captain of Bren of Sequence 7 used a special mysterious item to attack with all his strength, the team's intensive shooting could not even break the shield.
After crushing the shield, the attack hit the mage armor that wrapped around the body like liquid. Such a strong defense is enough to make the attacker completely desperate.
However, the White Death's method ended here. While the ranger's attack hit the inner armor, he used some high-level spell to evacuate himself from the battlefield, and then hide his body and launch an attack.
The combat effectiveness of both sides is completely different!
There is not a lack of extraordinary qualities that can restrain magic, but Halandil does not have this ability.
"Haran, can you still act?" Pilottis asked, hiding nearby and not leaving her companions, "The caster has a cooldown of 15 seconds for the spell to unfold the spell. Even if it is shortened with mysterious items, there will still be a interval of nearly ten seconds. The wizard's shield has been broken. Let's attack together, don't give him a space to chant."
No, it won't work.
"You go first," Halandil sighed lightly, "My legs are over, and I can't do anything to fight or run away."
Miss Ranger on the other end of the echo was silent. She did not answer, but it made Halandil feel that something was wrong.
A golden and blue magic balls were floating around the extraordinary wizard, circling like a satellite orbiting a planet. He walked towards Halandil, and with each step forward, the shield on his body recovered a little, as if the cold night water droplets freeze up along the window edge, forming a crystal clear shield on the outside of his body.
The shield returned so quickly? Halandil was almost desperate.
The wizard looked at him, and his eyes seemed to be carefully scrutinizing after refraction. After a moment, he actually asked, "Where is the node unit?"
The words were hoarse and low, slightly tired, and a deep disgust and contempt, as if they were talking to a piece of garbage.
What?!Halandil was puzzled in his heart, staring at the wizard without saying anything, but his blank expression had already revealed his thoughts. Almost at the same time, he felt strong dissatisfaction and anger.
The wizard did not ask again, but raised his right hand slightly, and the arc immediately roared in the air.
Without waiting for his action, a strong figure jumped out of the ruins beside him and rushed towards the wizard.
Pilottis arrived. Her slim figure and long silver hair were wrapped in a breeze, her steps were light and fast, flashing like an uncatchable forest wind, shooting out continuous arrows. The sharp arrow hit the wizard's shield, immediately arousing layers of ripples.
While she rushed forward quickly, she threw a small metal ball behind her.
The wizard immediately used electric current to fight back, but before the lightning could be activated, a bright bright light exploded behind Pilottis. Halandir and the wizard were blinded at the same time and fell into a dizzy white light.
The wizard immediately gave up the plan of direct attack. He pulled out his wand, chanted quickly in irrecognizable words, and raised his hand. The spell did not even point accurately, and the bow and arrow in Pilottis's hand flew out. At the same time, the amulet on his collar began to activate extremely, and a violent hurricane formed in the air outside the shield, shattering up gravel swept around, ready to prevent the weaker ranger from approaching.
Pilottis's sprint was not stopped. She pulled out the double-edged blades from her waist and twisted them together to form a silver double-edged knife. She advanced at a very fast speed, as fast as an illusion, leaving behind a strong afterimage behind her.
Pilottis seemed to be there, but the splashed gravel directly penetrated her body. She avoided the sweeping wind and flying stones, her body was slightly slapped, and flashed to the lower left of the wizard with the help of the kinetic energy of the rapid sprint. At the moment she landed, her footsteps intertwined, holding the hilt of the knife with both hands, and her agile body jumped from the spot, and her body turned into a 360° horizontal slash.
Harandil seemed to hear the harsh sound of the blade passing through the crystal. He barely opened his eyes and saw the slash tearing a crack visible to the naked eye on the shield. The double-edged sword cleverly folded inward and stabbed towards the wizard.
However, this blow was not able to penetrate deeper. The extraordinary wizard lifted his wand lightly, lifted his hand and pushed it.
Halandil heard a terrifying sound of bone cracking, and Miss Ranger flew backwards and smashed her directly into his arms.
"call."
The extraordinary wizard seemed to be gasping slightly. He was not in a hurry to kill Halandir, but stood a few meters away and used his wand to point it. The small bag on Halandir's waist immediately disintegrated and hanged in the air with the small objects all over his body.
These scattered debris include sewing bags, unfinished biscuits, metal balls that create flashes and impacts, knifes... There is a key with the number "803" engraved, but Halandil can't remember what the key is.
The extraordinary wizard's eyes swept over the objects, seemingly disappointed. He did not delay any longer and used his wand to make a flick of air, a sharp airflow like a blade, immediately gathered in front of him into the shape of a crescent moon.
It's over... Halandil's teeth clattered, but there was no countermeasure. He couldn't move, nor could he stand up.
Pilottis was held in his arms, trembling weakly. She was also unable to struggle, but just grabbed the corner of her companion's clothes and gasped in a low voice: "Haran, I, we..."
At this moment, Halandil heard a sound coming from the void. It was faint, as if the buzzing sound of a demon, and it appeared in Halandil's ears for the first time. Soon, the sound became like some kind of beast howling, from an extremely distant world.
"What sound?"
The extraordinary wizard suddenly shook and seemed to have heard something. He did not throw out the wind blade formed by the magic wand immediately, but turned his direction and looked around vigilantly.
The howling was approaching, and the extremely profane sound was amplifying rapidly, like the cries of a hunting dog and a wolf, getting closer and closer.
A strange fog surged on the desolate battlefield, and mysterious things appeared. First, the slender and twisted head, and then the body.
Its shape is indescribable, like a wriggling liquid or a floating smoke, and it makes people feel like a ferocious beast. Its open body, barely called the mouthpart, has a hollow straw thrust between the mucus.
Halandil witnessed the full picture of the monster. It was razor-like sharp teeth and claws, glittering eyes and interlaced jaws, like a wolf, with ever-rolling hazel and cyan cortex. But when it left the fog and began to move, the image quickly distorted.
What the hell is this?! Halandil screamed in his heart. In the dark, he seemed to hear two dice falling to the ground. His head seemed to be about to crack and was filled with dizziness and severe pain. Miss Ranger screamed and fainted directly.
"What's this?!"
The powerful wizard screamed, and it was even louder than Harandil. With the wisdom of the high caster, he could not analyze in detail and describe his image vividly. This sudden abnormality made him nervous and opened up the distance from Harandil. While he retreated quickly, he quickly expanded his defense and threw the wind blade over with his hand.
The monster appeared without warning, and everyone who looked directly at it suffered a loss of reason. It crawled on the ground, like a hunting dog, as if it was about to pounce on Halandil, but the magic attack of the extraordinary wizard had already been attacked.
The monster immediately changed its target of attack. Its body was covered with blue mucus. While pounced on the wizard, a ball of mucus splashed out, biting the wizard's shield like a living creature's tentacles.
The monster opened its mouthpiece, and the hollow tongue coating, which seemed like a straw, suddenly shot out, piercing through the shield of the extraordinary wizard like a spear. The powerful magic barrier that can withstand dense shooting immediately fluctuated violently, and the place where the mucus splashed down even began to collapse.
The extraordinary wizard and the twisted monsters immediately fought. They were able to use magical mysterious powers to attack each other with lightning, fire and acid. In just a few rounds, the magic shield and the monster's body were severely traumatized.
The powerful magic of the extraordinary is rapidly recovering the shield, but the wizard has fought fiercely with a team of rangers. Even for the extraordinary, his magic is not infinite. The hound's recovery speed is also extremely fast, and the burned and crushed wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The more the two sides fought, the more the extraordinary wizard retreated. In the end, the wizard even turned around and ran away, but the monster was chasing him and the speed of pursuit was faster than the ranger's actions.
After a moment, the brilliant and heavy shield of the extraordinary wizard was already like a moldy orange, stained with dark green traces. The strange liquid was even whispering, and it continued to corrode and invade.
"What a disgusting thing, go back to its abyss!"
The extraordinary wizard let out an angry roar. He raised his wand and lifted up the power of disturbing time and space. A illusory door was vaguely opened behind the attacking monster, as if countless tentacles were surging out of the deep darkness.
Halandil didn't know what was going on, and could not hear any sound. After the darkness that devoured everything, the hound disappeared completely. The extraordinary wizard who cast the spell did not delay, unfolded a scroll, turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
The injured half-elf ranger sat blankly on the ground. Pilottis, who was equally shocked, looked at him and then at the wilderness where monsters were running. She recalled the incredible scene just now:
Chapter completed!
