Dulan cautiously wandered around the edge of the island in the middle of the lake. He did not choose to land on the island immediately, just out of instinctive vigilance. His perception was very high and he could feel the presence of dangerous factors in the air.
He floated in the water and looked towards the island. The same gravel as the lakeside made up the soil of the island. A ferocious big tree was deeply rooted on it, with lush branches and leaves. The branches that covered the sky and the sun were like a handful.
The giant umbrella shrouded the entire island in his shadow.
The roots stretching out from the bottom of the water were cut to pieces by the wizard's cutting ray, but this did not mean that the dryad was just like a catfish on the chopping block. Duran instinctively felt that this monster must have other means.
, so he carefully hid behind a small pile of sand, supporting most of his body with his hands to prevent him from sinking.
The wizard and his party over there did not have as many scruples as Dulan. As soon as the raft docked, the wizard rushed onto the island impatiently. Four followers followed her step by step. At this time, Dulan
He could finally see the appearance of these big men. Who knew that what shocked him was that these big men were not human at all!
These "big men" are wearing thick armor, but their eyes are flashing with dim red light. Their bodies are made of rough and rusty metal, and they look very heavy, but at many joints,
The exquisite design ensures the flexibility of these guys' movements. There is no trace of normal people from beginning to end, they are completely robots!
Their faces were expressionless, and the branches were twitching on their bodies without saying a word, completely obeying the wizard's orders.
"It turns out to be the Shield Guardian!" Dulan was shocked. The appearance of the Shield Guardian directly reminded him of the behemoth of the Second Age.
White Tower Wizards Association.
The girl who landed on the other side of the island was obviously a White Tower wizard, which was simply surprising - maybe in the second era, it was normal for White Tower wizards to walk around the world, but since the Doomsday Dragon took control of the continent
, after all the White Tower wizards retreated to the refuge left by the Witch God [Despair Plateau], it was difficult to see an orthodox White Tower wizard on the mainland.
Especially after the failure of the independence of the three northern provinces planned by the White Tower Wizard, the Ruha Empire explicitly ordered the lords from all over the country to kill the White Tower Wizard on the spot if they were found! If they are captured alive, their fate will be even more miserable. What awaits them will be
It will be a merciless burning at the stake.
The Wizard of the White Tower split from the people of Anze, received the gift of the God of Witches, and mastered the true meaning of Evocation Magic and Law Magic; however, this behemoth is most famous not for these two famous magic schools, but for the Shield Guard
By.
The fragility of wizards has been a top issue in this profession since ancient times. Although there were many wizards in ancient times who advocated physical exercise - at some point in the second era, there was a trend of [sword-wielding wizards] in the Edinger dynasty. Young people
Many wizards followed suit and took pride in practicing swordsmanship - but no matter how hard the wizards who chose the path of witchcraft worked hard, they could not compare physically with the warriors who could ignite the fire. What's more, practicing swordsmanship also requires a lot of effort.
With so much energy and time, how can wizards who originally had no time to delve into magic be willing to spare so much time to practice?
Later facts proved that the sword wizard was indeed a joke.
In the waning year of the Second Age, a great mage from the White Tower Wizards Association who worked part-time as a great alchemist invented the [Shield Guardian]. This kind of alchemical creature full of metal and machinery existed to serve wizards from the beginning.
, they have no intelligence of their own, and the White Tower wizards control their behavior through simple mind magic. They can wear heavy armor, and as long as the obsidian heart in their bodies never dries up, they will fight forever to protect the wizards.
The emergence of the Shield Guardian has changed the pattern of the wizarding world, and the originally powerful wizards have become more perfect and invulnerable.
Duran knew that alchemical products such as Shield Guardian had always been the patent of White Tower wizards. Only true White Tower wizards could possess Shield Guardian.
Besides, there are still four.
"It seems that this girl has a high status among the wizards of the White Tower. Although [Despair Plateau] is a refuge left by the God of Witches, and the entrance to Feinan Continent is very secret, it is only a demi-plane in itself.
.I heard that the Dragon of Doom has been searching for these shelters in the vast chaos. Any clues will increase the possibility of the shelter being discovered. Under such premise, it is obvious that she can still appear on Feinan Continent.
The tower wizard gave her special treatment." The above thoughts flashed through Duran's mind, and the battle between the tree demon and the wizard became fierce.
The dryad, which originally seemed a little sluggish in attack, became extremely manic after the wizard and his party set foot on the island. Dulan began to tremble when he saw the ferocious face suddenly emerging from under the thick bark. Dark ripples rippled on the rough bark.
Opening up, a bloody mouth slowly opened from the tree demon's body.
The next second, countless black shadows poured out of the mouth. Duran couldn't help but use a visual test:
[Plague Tree Demon (mutated/normal), adult, life 39, power: gray iron, defense? skills?]
…
Summoning plague tree demons is obviously one of the most important skills of the tree demons. Each plague tree demon is about the same size as a human, possesses the strength of gray iron, and is not afraid of death. Duran noticed that the nails of these plague tree demons are
The fangs glowed with a cold green light, obviously poisonous.
The young White Tower wizard did not seem to expect that the tree demons would use such a summoning spell. To deal with these tree demons, simple cutting rays are obviously not enough - the tree demons are thick and difficult to cut; and their movements
Flexible, straight cutting rays are easily dodged.
In a panic, four shield guardians rushed forward under the command of the wizard. The four stood side by side, forming a defensive steel wall. Although the shield guardians had no weapons in their hands, they were extremely powerful. The plague tree
Even though the demons were outnumbered, they were unable to break through their defenses.
Seeing this, the wizard of the White Tower breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully picked up the crystal ball and began to chant other magic.
The Plague Tree Demon's life was very low, and the magic attacks of the Evocation system were notoriously high. Fireballs and thunderbolts took turns to greet them, and within a short time most of the Plague Tree Demon rushing in front was wiped out.
The sorceress who had achieved great results did not look proud at all. Before the plague tree demon could rush over, she took out a bottle of purple potion from somewhere, held her nose and drank it down -
-Judging from her expression, I'm afraid the taste of this potion won't be very good.
However, at this moment, Dulan's heart suddenly became alarmed.
He subconsciously sank into the lake. In his peripheral vision, a branch suddenly swung up from the bottom of the lake and struck the White Tower Wizard with unusual ferocity!
"No, there are no shield guards around this sorcerer. I'm afraid I can't hide now!" Duran knew that once the White Tower wizard was eliminated, he would be the next one to be dealt with by the tree demon!
So he was not afraid of being exposed and swam to the lake with all his strength - the purpose of this trip had been achieved. During the battle between the two sides, he had seen everything on the entire island, and there was nothing about the mysterious hand.
Things. In this case, there is no need to take the risk and fight the tree demon.
I just feel sorry for that witch, who looks so young...
This thought flashed through Dulan's mind without any guilt or self-blame. If he had the ability, of course he would help the other party. After all, the White Tower wizard who had been fighting against the Dragon Empire was also a friend of the united front. But now Dulan
His strength is low and he cannot even protect himself, so naturally he cannot be expected to save others.
Duran swam very fast, covering half the distance in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a scream - Duran looked back subconsciously. The tree demon was raised high and the branches were quickly smashed down. The witch who had lost the shield guard beside him had no possibility of dodge.
At this moment, she only did two things. The first thing was of course a useless scream, but the second thing was much more useful. A burst of green light shook the crystal ball, and in the blink of an eye her body was covered with
A thin layer of armor.
Instant spell, [Life Armor]!
Dulan naturally recognizes this spell. As a member of the second-level spell, if you want to cast this spell instantly, you must practice your metamagic skills to a very skilled level - it is obviously impossible for the girl in front of you to have such ability, so the rest
The only explanation is that this life armor is just a spell enchanted on the crystal ball, and all the witch does is inspire it.
However, none of this was what Dulan cared about. What made him couldn't help but widen his eyes was that the thick branches hit the sorcerer's slender waist. In an instant, the armor of life had a tendency to collapse.
The powerful force swept her away from the island, and she fell into the water where Dulan was!
Before Dulan could even curse, the wizard's figure had already hit him sideways, and he could only immediately bury his head and hide in the water.
"Crash!" The wizard's figure rubbed Duran's head and hit it into the water. Judging from the terrifying sound of falling into the water, Duran had no doubt that if he was hit, he would probably faint!
"Damn it! Isn't it clear that this is going to drag me down? I can't just ignore him..." Dulan didn't dare to neglect. He gritted his teeth and immediately hugged the unconscious wizard in the water and rushed to the shore desperately.
Swim away.
However, the violent tree demon obviously did not intend to let the wizard and Duran go. The four shield defenders who stayed on the island immediately fell into silence after the wizard was blown away, turning into a pile of motionless scrap metal.
.
The thick branch that knocked the wizard away rose high again and hit Dulan and the wizard fiercely.
"Quick! Quick, Duran!" Kate shouted anxiously from the shore. In desperation, she even mispronounced a few syllables of the spell, and it took her a long time to send out a purgatory fire in an attempt to stop the dryad's attack.
.
It's a pity that although the fire of purgatory ignited the branches, it continued unabated, with fire and black smoke filling the sky, it hit Dulan's back hard!
