In a sense, the fight between Heng and I was a typical mage style. ≤,
Careful observation, probing with no merit but no fault, careful observation of weaknesses, protection from the opponent's probing and attacks, this cycle, and of course, the sudden final blow that is enough to take the opponent's life.
.
Therefore, generally speaking, the duel between two mages will look boring. They will first summon cannon fodder, set up defensive magic, and make themselves invincible first, and then start casting spells to test the opponent, or destroy the opponent's cannon fodder.
, or try to lift the opponent's protection, and the loser is to expose one's own weakness first.
So, if there wasn't a huge difference in strength, it would be possible for two academic mages to fight for two or three hours. When most of the energy is devoted to protection and personal safety, the scene will not look good.
But even if it is a conventional mage fighting method, the duel between Heng and I is a little different...
The glacier city wall built by Bai Xue suffered repeated impacts. After the forwards were inexplicably turned into ice sculptures, the remaining undead did not retreat. After all, undead creatures inherently lack fear and have no morale. The will of the Lord of Death is above all else.
"Charge over! Step on your own kind!"
The inexplicable thoughts of the undead army converged into the same will, and that will was almost substantial, as if there was an invisible skeleton lord howling in the void.
The high-level death knight climbed onto the bones of his subordinates and was the first to climb to the top of the city wall. Before he could celebrate his success, the next moment, the cold air from under his feet made him become a member of the ice sculpture.
But the next moment, his death knight apprentice stepped on his body and took two more steps forward. It also turned into an ice sculpture. Then, another skeleton general stepped on her bones again...
Even though what lies before us is a bottomless abyss that silently swallows everything, the black blind current still moves slowly and unwaveringly, just like the man-eating ant swarm that no one dares to stop.
"Fill up the rivers and extinguish the volcanoes. Although it seems stupid, it is indeed a very practical method. After all, magic also requires energy as a source of energy. And energy will always be exhausted. This is the most basic thing.
rule."
Since it is a spell that can only be effective by contact, then use corpses to isolate it. If it is a spreading spell, then use cannon fodder to consume all the curses and negative energy. If it is limited by function and rules, then,
Just use cannon fodder to test out all the rules.
This is the basis for the undead army to sweep across the countries. No matter how sophisticated and powerful your protective magic is, how powerful your offensive magic is. As long as there is enough cannon fodder to fill it, no matter how sophisticated the magic is, it will have its limit, no matter how powerful it is.
The mage will also die from exhaustion.
The black torrent always moves slowly. It looks slow and slow. It seems that you can escape just by taking two steps, but it cannot be stopped. No matter where you escape, the result is the same. This is the natural disaster of the undead, which is regarded by the world as death itself.
The Plague King.
But in this duel between the undead emperors, this is just an appetizer. She can have as many cannon fodder as she wants.
Of course, I also have a way to check and balance, but before that, I have to deal with Heng's spell attack.
Heng's spellcasting had been completed, and the dark clouds flew over from a distance, but when they got closer, they instantly turned into fragments, covering the entire Yunzhong City at once, and the eyes were filled with black mist.
The dark cloud in front of you is not an attack magic, it is a layer of dark fog, in which countless dark elves are circling and fantasizing. It is impossible to distinguish up, down, left, and right in the dark cloud. The lack of sense of direction and vision makes all attacks become
Got a joke.
"Proprietary magic?"
"Well, I haven't seen it in the main plane. It should be a special application of negative energy. It can even block the prying eyes of the soul... There is a smell of soul in this mist. It should be the use of undead subordinates as victims.
It’s a kind of sacrificial magic. Use the fragments of the soul to block the peek of the soul. It’s really a good idea.”
I nodded. My guess was almost the same. It would be good to have an encyclopedia. Many guesses can be confirmed instantly. So, now that I know the general principle of this spell, I should be able to find a way to deal with it.
"Purify... no, absorb it! Using soul-based spells in front of the soul master makes me laugh."
Under my command, the national-level soul summoning tower in the center of Eternal Night City was fully activated. The soul fragments in the clouds and mist did not even have the ability to resist, and were directly absorbed by it. The death mist that blocked the vision would instead become the tower in the clouds.
The new energy source had just dropped to 90% and the total energy had returned to 92%. But I obviously had an advantage, but I was feeling a little anxious without knowing it.
"...I'm afraid her next spell is ready."
This is the rhythm difference in the battle between spell casters. The Undead Emperor with the legions can also cast spells, which is equivalent to her taking two steps and me taking one.
Rookies will probably be happy because they can break the opponent's offensive, but I have a headache because of losing the initiative. I know that when the rhythm is stretched, the advantages are accumulated enough, and I can't cope with it, it is probably the key to the winner.
It's time.
The gap was there from the beginning, and the actions of the Undead Army also posed a threat to me. She had enough cannon fodder to use from the beginning, but I could only resort to tricks. The further back I went, the harder it became to deal with it, which meant that every time I
It's really a bit out of rhythm to have to deal with her two steps at the same time.
"As expected, where is the big man from?"
The black clouds and mist had just dispersed, but I saw a huge skeletal giant, which had already crossed my ice wall. He was originally rushing towards us, but when he found that the clouds and mist in Yunzhong City began to disperse,
But he gave up attacking the city in front of him without hesitation, and immediately turned to break through this strange world.
Skeleton giants are not a rare undead weapon. The combination of the innate giant body and the acquired giant skeleton can create such a killing machine. High-level necromancers often create such undead creatures to attack cities. After all, this thing is eye-catching.
It's slow and can easily cause trouble for opponents, and it consumes a lot of energy. It's not cost-effective to deal with small targets.
"No. This is not an ordinary skeleton giant."
But compared with his sluggish companions, this silver-gray giant is very agile. His big feet move so fast that they actually create intermittent earthquake waves. What flashes in his pupils is not the soul of the undead.
The fire is a magic diamond probe inlaid with sapphire, and the other eye also emits infrared red light.
What he is holding in his hand is not a giant sword or a cold weapon such as a battle axe, but a fire-breathing spear that is emitting scorching flames. Screws and welding plates can also be seen at his key links.
There are traces of it. There is actually steel plate armor on his body, and on the soles of his feet... you can actually see training wheels and spitfire thrusters!
"...Gundam of the Dead, did you go to the wrong theater? Is this the new species that Dracolich talked about?"
I can vaguely feel that there are many independent souls in this monster's body. This skeletal giant is actually just a vehicle, and the cab seems to be in the abdominal cavity. This is obviously not something that can be caused by ordinary undead magic, at least.
The Undead Emperor, who had been hiding in the plane of death for many years, decided that he couldn't come up with this fusion of magic and engineering.
My first impression when I saw this guy was very bad. The strength this guy may have is on the one hand, and his appearance marks the most troublesome situation. The undead have either obtained the inheritance of the sage plane, or are...
We have united with the owners of the inheritance. The enemy we have to face is no longer just an undead emperor.
Perhaps the total amount of energy in Eternal Night City is too scary. Perhaps the superiors issued a death order. The semi-constructed skeleton giant, who is obviously also the trump card, has no intention of fighting with Eternal Night City. He crossed the ice wall and just looked after himself.
marching forward in an attempt to break through our defense lines.
"Timiret would probably like such a gift."
"Only if you can accept it completely."
"sure."
An ordinary strong person would probably be scared to death, but in the eyes of veterans like us, this is still just a toy, a toy with an unimportant design failure.
"Strategic Super Magic: Fossils to Mud!"
This spell hit in front of the giant, and the flat land suddenly turned into a swamp, and the deeper swamp was still under the swamp. It was too late for the skeleton giant to brake, so he jumped up suddenly, and flames spurted out from his feet.
, rush, explode, swing the legs vigorously, the standard long jump action is extremely complete, and then... roll halfway in the air, and directly plop into the pit.
"Pfft, the action was completed well, but it didn't jump at all."
"Nonsense, the skeletal giant has no muscle tissue. Walking driven by magic power is already at its limit. Simulating human movements is just instinct. Are you planning to do sprinting and long jumping? Do you really think that he is a completely unscientific Red Zeon? Painting it in color can make it three times faster.
?”
But I was not happy too early. The high-energy reaction in the distance showed that Heng had prepared a new spell, and the undead below had already broken through the ice wall. It seemed that our rhythm had been stretched.
And on top of that ice wall, it was already densely covered with undead. The sacrifice spirit of the Heng Legion was simply touching, so... So, I was moved and did not hesitate to pull up another ice wall and learn the lesson.
, two meters taller and three meters wider than before.
"Go on, let me see how many cannon fodder you have."
Although I was very arrogant, I was a little unsure in my heart. After all, the ice wall technique containing freezing energy consumes too much energy. It consumes nearly 10% of the total energy of Yongye City at one time. In order to ensure the safety of Yongye City
and combat power, I simply don’t dare to use energy below 50%, and this ice wall delaying tactic can only be used a few times.
The most troubling thing is that we cannot let our opponents take the initiative and resort to tricks like this. The situation will become increasingly unfavorable and we will need time to launch a counterattack.
"I'll go to the auxiliary tower and leave the spell battle with that guy to me. You clean up the cannon fodder first."
However, Heloise showed rare diligence and took the initiative to take on the important task. Her strategic decision was obviously correct. Since Heng, who was too far away at this time, could not be eliminated, she used Tian Ji's horse racing strategy to suppress the opponent's weaknesses and eliminate those enemies first.
The annoying cannon fodder is indeed correct, but I hesitate.
"...The other party is the Undead Emperor, at least be careful."
Even with the bonus of the Mage Tower, it is still very difficult to confront the Undead Emperor alone. Invisible curses, sealing techniques above the plane level, and special negative energy permanent damage can also make Helois fall.
But Heloise smiled. She slowly transformed into an adult form amidst the laughter like silver bells. Her silky blond hair was dragged to the ground. The familiar and pretty face was right in front of her. She exhaled like blue, but deliberately
rubbing in the ear.
"Undead Emperor? Who do you think I am? Who taught you your undead magic? I am the woman who has taught the Undead Emperor. Now that I have accumulated enough, I can be considered the woman who is about to become the Undead Emperor. Be careful with her?
I also hope to get a chance to break through in the battle!"
She turned into a shadow in her sweet smile, and I was able to focus on the undead army below me. It was indeed reassuring to have such a helper who was completely trustworthy in terms of ability.
"What spells should I prepare next? It's best to be able to kill those mid- to high-level undead spells in one go. Anyway, I have the energy reserve of the mage tower, so just use it up a little bit..." (To be continued...)
