Chapter 40: How Can Steel Be Comparable to a Well-Trained Flesh?
In front of Chabron, Toffler, who used [Disguise] to disguise himself as Chabron, saw that his secret was revealed, and a red light flashed in his left eye——
If Mayor Toffler had not been masked by illusion, people would have seen that his left eye was replaced by a steel mechanical eyeball.
In an instant, crackling dark purple dark magic flame rays erupted from his eyes.
[Magic Explosion] (Warlock professional characteristic)
Jacks was not wearing any armor, and was wearing a simple brown shirt and brown cropped pants with patterns. The dark purple magic flame ray hit his chest and pierced his shirt.
The magician Toffler also used his "Magic Flame Mutation" technique to add an irritating poisonous mist to the magic energy blast——
The moment the magic flame ray hits the enemy, a disgusting, foul-smelling black mist pours out at the same time, enough to make an opponent in poor health vomit.
[Mutation of Demonic Flame·Gausting Demonic Flame]
The attack just now was enough to leave shocking holes in monsters with steel shells such as "Activated Plate Armor" and "Petrified Ox"!
And the man in front of me is just a physical body!
Toffler believed that his magic had a chance to hit Jax once and for all, or at least contain him.
However, the sight in front of him scared him from ear to ear——
The man remained motionless, ignoring the pain in his chest, and stepped forward despite the attack of the dark purple magic ray. Then, he shrugged:
"Your magic is a bit stinky."
How can steel be tougher than the body that has been tempered for a long time?
As for the stench and poisonous mist enveloped by [Magic Energy Explosion], it was easily exempted by the extraordinary toughness of the senior warrior.
What is Jax...a monster?
Toffler, who was wearing the appearance of Chabron's illusion, did not hesitate, made a decisive decision, and adopted the most resourceful strategy - turning around and running away.
Mayor Toffler disappeared and reappeared a short distance away:
He caused a momentary phase difference between his body and the surrounding world, teleporting a short distance.
【Ether Leap】
He ambushed 4 scarecrows near Jacks' house, and now this is his last trump card.
Jacks clicked their heels again, activated the valuable brown [Acceleration Boots], and with the blessing of time magic, his body turned into an afterimage, and he chased after him.
As an experienced adventurer, he understood that the martial arts style he practiced was suitable for hand-to-hand combat, so he used magic items to match it.
This [Acceleration Boots] also incorporates the effect of [Flying Wing Boots], which can give the wearer the ability to fly. Even if the opponent escapes into the sky, he can still pursue him!
The old magician Toffler was still running out of the yard, but he saw Jacks appearing directly in front of him, blocking the way forward, and his halberds were lined up.
Mayor Toffler quickly turned around and ran back again.
Jacks caught the opportunity for the old mayor to escape. He moved his body and struck with his halberd. The movement was even faster than the sound of the weapon breaking through the air itself.
[Jianwei Sentinel·Intercept]
Toffler didn't know how Jacks moved and exerted his force, and how he stopped his opponent's movement during the forward thrust.
When the warlock realized that he had been injured, his shoulder had been pierced, scarlet hot springs were splashing, and the inertia of his running forward disappeared into thin air (note).
The man's attack directly pinned him in place, and the phantom-like black ice floating on his body formed by the [Armor of Igasis] was shattered inch by inch.
----------
Many spells draw on the power of other planes, or simulate the inner principles of otherworldly supernatural landscapes. The protective ice armor on Toffler simulates an outer plane floating in the astral world (the sea of stars).
——"The Sixth Realm", "The Land of Exile", "Prison Plane" [Kaseli] The sixth level of death prison Agathys.
There, countless souls of the dead are sealed in the eternally frozen ice. The eternal black ice forms an inescapable prison, and the biting air lingers.
----------
When the black ice armor shattered, pitch-black ice shards flew away, and the extraordinary cold air from the alien plane surged out.
The biting coldness crawled rapidly up the halberd, and the growing black frost spread from the front of the halberd to Jacks' hands in an instant.
[Armor of Elgasis]-[Icy Backlash]
Frost covered Jacks' entire arm, and the bone-piercing cold coursed through his limbs.
But the biting cold that was enough to make ordinary people lose their fighting ability only made the man frown, and then tensed his muscles to destroy the frost.
"Compared to the gentleman who once traveled with me, your magic skills are still far behind."
Facing his bleeding opponent, he stepped forward and hit the magician Toffler on the head with the blunt tail of his halberd. The poor old man suffered such a blow that he fainted on the spot.
Then, Jacks touched the not too deep wound on his chest and the holes in his clothes:
"It's a shame about the new clothes. I'll call for armor first next time."
Chabron and his adoptive father Matroux had just walked into the garden and happened to see:
Jax subdued the warlock.
As Toffler fell to the ground, the silk hat on his head - previously concealed by the illusion itself - fell off.
With the drop of the [Disguise Hat], the original [Disguise Technique] on Toffler was also lifted.
Chabron stepped forward and picked up the [Disguise Hat] from the ground. As an experienced player - or to put it nicely, citing high-level knowledge from another world - the blond little priest only used half of it.
I recognized this magic item in seconds.
[Disguise Hat (Level Magic Item·Wearable): When you wear this hat, you can cast the disguise spell on yourself at will (the duration is unlimited, and the spell ends when the hat is removed). 】
After a simple search, Chabron also found a small half bottle of unfinished [Healing Potion] from the unconscious Warlock Mayor.
Two magic items!
----------
The diary is not over, the warm morning breeze twists the pages, and the beautiful Chinese ink marks show the thoughts of the blond boy at that time——
"I originally thought that the town Toffler, as a level 2 magician, had practiced magic such as [Thousand Faces], transforming the essence of his soul and flesh, making himself more like a real magical creature, capable of
In the form of a spell-like (natural spellcasting), he can cast [Disguise] infinitely at will. Only now do we know: It turns out that the illusion on him is achieved with magic items.
"This is gratifying news - few adventurers will think that the increase in loot (loot) is a bad thing, and the greed of adventurers can scare even the most greedy ancient dragon.
"On the first day of the Silver Moon, in the twilight, I looked at the unconscious Mayor Toffler on the ground. This old man was covered in blood.
"His identity is consistent with what I expected, and I am not surprised by this face.
"I know clearly that the enemy of the five strangers is not just the mayor of Fengxi Town, but the abnormal malice that permeates the entire town.
"After reading the documents that my adoptive father took out, and connecting all the previous clues, I already know: Why is there no wind in Fengxi Town in the northern part of the Kingdom? Why does the space in the windless land form a closed loop and cannot be entered or exited? Why is it different?
People are affected by abnormal effects with varying degrees of effectiveness? [Company]'s abnormal project numbered 3-075 is being unveiled by us.
"What I didn't expect was that the next day, using ritual magic, I finally found out that the anomaly that broke through the containment, [3-075] itself, was actually..."
