Soon, the lightning above the circular gray-black land gradually spread to Xia Duo and others, and the bright light of lightning distorted everyone's faces.
It's true that they should be distorted. Just after listening to Xia Duo's words and hesitating for a moment, they missed the best opportunity to escape.
From the moment the scattered out-of-control lightning struck their defensive spells, they knew they couldn't run away.
At this moment, there are already signs of riots in the surrounding magic network. Forcibly teleporting may trigger a more serious chain reaction. The risk is even higher than staying to complete [Breaking Law-5-1].
If it were not for the fact that casting spells through the Resonance Spell Book does not require concentration or too much effort, but only requires cooperation, perhaps they would not be able to remain calm in such an environment.
At this time, everyone has only one thought in their minds, and that is to complete [Breaking Method-5-1].
…
Seeing that the large number of dense micro diamond-shaped protective force fields generated by [Protection-2-14] were weakened layer by layer, and could penetrate deep into the lightning terminals around him, he could even feel a slight tingling flowing on the surface of his skin.
Sha Duo once again realized how powerful this spell was. Just the spell after it was out of control had such an effect, making it difficult for the equivalent 8-level spell to resist.
Fortunately, everything is about to end, and the equivalent 9-level spell [Protection-5-1] they jointly cast has been completed.
Under the leadership of Xia Duo, a powerful magic network calming field was instantly projected from the spell source point in front of him, and was projected into the core area where the elf magic was out of control.
In just an instant, the dense lightning that had flickered from above the gray-black land and spread behind Xia Duo and others immediately disappeared.
Of course, a more rigorous statement is that at that moment, the string combination of magic nets that originally formed the core of the spell was straightened out and smoothed. The foundation of the spell's existence was no longer there, and it was no longer possible to obtain a steady stream of energy from the magic net.
It's just unsustainable lightning. No matter how many there are, it can only have the explosive power of one strike. After the explosion, there is no trace of it.
According to Sha Duo's speculation, this elf spell was supposed to gather a large amount of lightning energy and then burst it out in a focused form.
In this way, even a 9-ring protection spell may not be able to block it.
After all, there is always an efficiency issue with spears and shields, and the attacking side obviously has the advantage.
…
"We succeeded!" Essers said excitedly.
Even more excited than them were the people who had just asked for help. If Xia Duo and others who came to support still had a chance to escape, then they, who had completely lost the initiative after being attacked by the elves, had almost lost the chance to escape.
"Don't let down your guard to prevent the elves from attacking again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Duo discovered that someone had teleported over. However, the location where they teleported was a bit far away, and due to the obstruction of the trees in the forest, it was not until those people teleported over that he discovered the other party through the detection information shared by Niya.
Fortunately he is a human being, otherwise he would really be a crow's mouth.
"Master Xia Duo, we are here!" The person who came promptly identified himself, it was Anglin and others.
After the meeting between the two sides, Anglin and others looked at the large radial area of scorched trees caused by the raging lightning after the elf magic went out of control, as well as the core area of the previous sneak attack and subsequent attack——
There was not even a single tree remains left in the gray-black circular clearing.
"Is this elven magic?" Anglin said thoughtfully.
"Didn't you get attacked by a sneak attack?" Xia Duo asked.
"Of course, but we can react!"
The person who spoke was another high-level mage, and his tone clearly showed strong confidence. Xia Duo didn't want to argue with them, so he called over Master Mailin who had asked for help before and asked:
"It just happened suddenly. Elf mages raided twice in succession. Before I had time to ask, please tell me about your situation at that time!"
In fact, Joyce's team had a short period of time to inquire after they were attacked, but Joyce, the only survivor, chose to give up the mission. Chateau was busy restoring morale, and then contacted Anglin and the others.
During this period Joyce lost contact completely.
Now, Xia Duo didn't want to contact a person who was destined to be marginalized. It happened that Mailin had survived, so asking here might be able to get more information about the elf mage.
"At that time, we were on the way to the Mystery Node. Someone told me that he found an elf hiding behind a tree. After checking, I did find traces of the elf. But I didn't expect that I would be attacked by the elf just after I checked.
Fortunately, we maintained protective spells throughout the entire process, so the elves didn't succeed."
"What happened next?" Xia Duo continued to ask.
"Later, all the elves who attacked ran away in one direction. I realized something was wrong and immediately asked the team to retreat. As soon as they ran away, something happened like this -"
Having said this, Mailin pointed at the round gray-black area next to him, with a look of lingering fear on his face, and continued:
"I knew I had lost the opportunity. It would be difficult to engage in a spell confrontation with the opponent in this situation. I didn't want to give up on the others, so I chose to stay where I was and call for help. You all know what happened next."
After saying that, Mailin also concluded, "I know that the "Operation Manual" introduces the common sneak attack methods of elves and countermeasures, but when the sneak attack actually came, I still only reacted like an ordinary person,
But I’ll know better next time! Even if you can’t defeat the opponent in a spell confrontation, you will at least eat their bait.”
Xia Duo listened and didn't say anything else. He knew that even if he encountered this situation, he might not be able to perform better. Knowing how to do it was one thing, but actually doing it was another.
However, the biggest difference between him and Mailin and others is the dimension and depth of information acquisition. He can obtain the perception and even thinking information shared by others in the link through the spiritual link, and then return it to his conscious judgment after processing.
This allowed him to discover the traces of the elves in advance. Even if the elves had any conspiracy, under the mental link multi-person thinking mode, it would be easy to produce different results from multiple angles, thus avoiding being fooled.
At this time, Xia Duo noticed that Anglin and others, who also came to support but were a little late, had different expressions on their faces, so he asked:
"Master Anglin, where are you?"
"We haven't encountered any sneak attacks involving elven mages, it's just the cooperation of druids and swordsingers."
While talking, Anglin also told about several sneak attacks they encountered.
It's just that compared to attacks involving mages, the cooperation of druids and swordsingers can only be sudden. As long as you are careful, it is not difficult to prevent, and even counterattack is not impossible.
But with the participation of the mage, the sneak attack is just the beginning. If you can't win the spell confrontation later, you will definitely fall into the quagmire step by step, and it will be difficult to escape.
Anglin re-examined his team. He might be able to delay the spell confrontation for a longer time, but it was almost impossible to win.
And even if we wait for support, it will be difficult to keep the elf mage.
Thinking about it this way, Anglin became more hopeful about the spiritual link plan proposed by Sha Duo.
