"Tip: You encountered the warlock Edson (LV15) and 33 kobolds!"
…
Almost the first time the two parties met.
Matthew shouted loudly:
"Ella!"
Miss Owl, who was performing an initiation ceremony in the oak forest, heard Matthew's call, flapped her wings and flew toward the southwest of the forest without saying a word.
That's where Matthew and Brad agreed to set up the new sentry post.
Report after seeing Ella leave safely.
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no time to change the robe, so he quickly took out the Guardian Psalm and held it with his left hand. With his right hand, he quickly inserted the Coughing Staff and the Dead Wood Staff into his waist for easy access at any time.
Eli's reaction was even more extreme.
But seeing him staring angrily, he jumped forward on all fours, and his whole body suddenly swelled. With a roar, a tall and powerful saber-toothed tiger appeared on the wasteland under the moonlit night.
He actually rushed straight towards the enemy group!
"superior!"
Encounters are always surprising, but Edson's reaction was no less impressive. He shook off the cloak from his back and took out a huge mace from his back.
The mace exudes a dark red evil luster.
Under his command.
The kobolds swarmed out.
They rushed towards Eli with a mixture of small sticks and small bucklers.
Matthew keenly noticed that some kobolds were holding some wooden boxes in their hands, and compared with normal kobolds, their eyeballs were more protruding, and the whites of their eyes were bloodshot, vaguely similar to the mace in Edson's hand.
A similar weird sheen.
"Roar!"
Eli bravely rushed into the kobold crowd.
His size is completely crushing to these small and medium-sized creatures.
Only one face to face.
The saber-toothed tiger pounced, raised its fangs, and swept its tail.
Immediately, three or four kobolds died!
However, what is unexpected is.
The kobolds, who have always been known for being easy to escape when morale is low, showed unreasonable bravery.
The tragic death of their companions did not make them timid, but instead continued to surround them without fear of death.
Eli's strength was so strong that he would not be hurt by the kobolds, but there were too many kobolds after all. With the blessing of courage, even the ferocious saber-toothed tigers had to circle around, and it was difficult to push them head-on.
A few seconds later.
Edson himself also joined the battle along with the kobolds.
But I saw him waving a huge mace and shouting something loudly.
The magician's spells were complex and obscure, and he recited them quickly and vaguely. Matthew didn't even have a chance to interrupt with the coughing staff, and Edson had already finished the spell casting phase.
Matthew could only vaguely tell that Edson used a total of three spells while walking——
The first spell is familiar summoning!
But under the moon, a puff of black smoke rose up, and a demon that looked like a hyena with spiked barbs on its tail quietly appeared.
…
"Susuva Demon Dog (Elite/LV10): A creature of the abyss, an intermediate demon, usually accompanied by the Jackal Elite"
…
Just when the information about this summoned object appeared in front of Matthew's eyes.
He also fulfilled his calling.
As the glow of the Immortal Pact gradually dimmed.
A Minotaur skeleton that looked like it was tiptoeing suddenly appeared in front of Matthew.
"Oh, I'm just listening to that, Matthew!"
Peggy complained, and immediately saw the situation in front of her clearly. She pulled out her bone blade with a slight movement:
"Who to kill?"
Matthew pointed at the Susuwa demon dog running towards him.
Peggy immediately rushed forward and fought with the devil dog.
And the other side.
Due to Eli's reckless advance, his position was blocked by the kobolds. As soon as Matthew commanded the Silver Moon zombies to go over for reinforcements, the magician Edson had already reached the saber-toothed tiger with a mace.
this moment.
Matthew also clearly discerned that the second spell cast by Edson should be a power-infusing or physical-strengthening spell that prayed to the suzerain.
Because he saw Ederson's body begin to skyrocket at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Stab!
Hairs like black thorns shrieked and tore apart the warlock's robes.
Accompanied by a sudden increase in body size.
The magician Edson also revealed his ferocious true appearance——
The illusion of human appearance was self-defeating. What was revealed in the moonlight was a giant jackal with a height of two meters and a body full of abnormally bulging muscles!
"die!"
The huge jackal hit the saber-toothed tiger on the waist with a mace.
Eli couldn't get out of the way completely, so he got a bite from the side and screamed in agony!
The kobolds rushed even more fiercely when they saw this.
Although at this time the Silver Moon zombies had arrived nearby and started to support Eli.
But Eli, who was targeted by Ederson, still looked embarrassed.
The latter did not expect that this warlock actually had the terrifying melee ability of an ogre!
Edson was seen swinging the mace constantly.
Eli's position was constantly being squeezed.
Without any choice.
Eli could only throw himself two buff spells in a hurry.
Then prepare to wait for an opportunity to escape from the battle.
Matthew is also preparing to support Eli.
He took out the dead wood staff and pointed it at Edson's back from a distance.
At this moment, the warlock seemed to be focusing on chasing Eli, and was indifferent to what was happening behind him.
All signs indicate that now is the best time to cast a sneak attack.
Matthew tightened his grip on the dead wood staff, and he was indeed preparing to release the strongest single-target spell he could cast - "Powerful Exhaustion Ray".
But when the critical moment comes.
He suddenly remembered the third spell Edson chanted!
"I am a mage. There is no reason for him to ignore me from the beginning. There is no problem with the "Combat Spell Identification" just now. It is indeed three spells. The enemy cannot be untargeted!"
So what exactly is the third spell?
Matthew stared intently at Edson's back, which was glowing red, and chanted a spell quickly.
One second later.
Waves of cold air burst out from the tip of the dead wood staff.
Immediately afterwards.
A ball of white cold air about one meter enveloped Edson's body.
Whoosh!
Edson's body flashed red.
The white mist disappeared instantly.
Matthew felt severe pain in the palm of his hand holding the staff!
A slight feeling of nausea quickly came over my heart.
…
"Tip: You used the level 0 trick "Frost Mist" on the warlock Edson!
You suffered from Edson’s “Counter Spell (Magic Contract Strengthening)”!
…
Your "Frost Mist" fails, and you will suffer the penalty of being counterspelled:
Within 12 minutes, you cannot cast any spell of the same level as "Frost Mist";
Your concentration -0.5 (lasts 18 seconds)"
…
"Tip: You successfully identified and used level 0 magic to break the enemy's "spell counterattack". You will soon have the opportunity to explore elements in the "combat" field."
…
"He is indeed a rebel!"
"And it's a counter-spell strengthened by the sect master he believes in!"
Matthew was secretly glad that he noticed something was wrong.
If the spell he had just cast was a second-level spell, the punishment he would have to endure would probably send him to heaven!
Since Matthew traveled through time, he has rarely fought against serious spellcasters. This was the first time for him to see the magician Edson in front of him.
Actual combat was indeed different from theory. If Matthew hadn't been cautious enough, this vicious counter-spell would have definitely made him miserable.
And this long-planned counterspell also made Matthew realize that Edson's target from the beginning was himself!
as expected.
After sensing that Matthew had suffered the punishment of rebelling against the law.
Ederson turned sharply.
He wielded the mace and quickly launched a surprise attack in the direction of Matthew.
And those kobolds run faster.
A small number of them rushed past the Silver Moon Zombies towards Matthew.
The rest is left to fight with the zombies.
Upon seeing this, Eli hurriedly prepared to return for help.
But at this time, there was already some distance between the two sides, and he could only barely catch up to some kobolds that were lagging behind.
"Hiss!"
Even the Susuwa Demon Dog, who was originally fighting with Peggy, found an opportunity to get away from Peggy.
This cunning demon accelerated and wanted to attack Matthew from the other side.
crucial moment.
Paige suddenly took a step forward and threw the bone blade with anticipation into the void ahead!
puff!
The bone blade that came out of his hand easily tore the demon dog's forehead.
The demon immediately twitched and collapsed to the ground.
Brains and blood mixed together and poured out along the gap opened by the bone blade.
Don't bother dealing with the devil dog.
Peggy pulled out the bone blade and returned to protect Matthew:
"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you!"
The soul fire inside her skull was burning brightly.
The golden bones gradually turned into a nobler dark gold under the moonlight.
A relieved smile flashed across Matthew's face.
But his attention was still focused on the gnoll warlock rushing towards him.
next moment.
He firmly grasped the dead wood staff, concentrated his attention, and fired a solid "powerful depletion ray" at Edson's tall body.
Ederson ate this ray full of negative energy impartially.
Its size shrank almost immediately.
Under the weakening of depleting rays.
Not only did Edson's life begin to pass slowly, but his powerful attributes were also slowly reduced.
But he still didn't stop the raid.
The kobold at the forefront has already fought against Peggy.
Fortunately, Matthew's reinforcements also rushed to the front battlefield——
The skeleton dormitory is not far from here. Matthew has used the summoning of the dead to call 12 skeleton soldiers from the beginning. Now they finally arrived and wrapped Matthew in the center.
"These scumbags can't protect you!"
Ederson roared and charged over.
He hit Peggy with a powerful mace, which shattered her arm bones and sternum, causing her to stumble and fall to the side!
The melee combat ability of this fourth-level warlock is evident!
Matthew stared at Edson.
He quickly took two steps back.
The dead wood staff in his hand was pointed at the opponent again.
Whoosh!
A gray light flashed.
…
"Hint: You used the "Negative Armor" spell on the warlock Edson!
Edson's armor (creature fur) is reduced to -1"
…
"Your spells can't hurt me!"
Ederson swiped hard again.
The two skeleton soldiers were swept away by him.
At this time, there was only less than twenty steps between him and Matthew.
However, when he saw Matthew's face under the moonlight.
Ederson was inevitably a little surprised.
Because that is a confident and calm smiling face.
It's now!
"kill!"
Matthew whispered.
In the shadows that no one could see, a skeleton twisting its hips and walking like dancing steps appeared silently behind the tall jackal.
Ederson had no time to turn around.
The two daggers of Yinghuo and Gaoyue couldn't wait to catch his thick neck.
The blades sank into each other like kissing a lover's skin.
prick--
Blood splashed before the sound.
The head fell to the ground with a scream.
Under the moonlight night.
The giant jackal's head rolled across the wasteland like a ball on the beach.
It happened to roll in front of Matthew.
Matthew lifted his feet.
Stepped on it hard.
It happened to be at this time.
Another group of figures emerged from the cave.
They watched in stunned silence as Matthew stepped on Edson's lifeless head.
Wow!
The eyeballs were squeezed out of their sockets.
Blood splashed upward for half a meter.
The shoes and clothes of the necromancer were stained red under the moonlit night.
