Xuan Weizi was hiding in the sky. After seeing Casta's strength, he knew that he couldn't easily fight this guy head-on. Even the Son of the Holy Scale and the Prince of the Earth were hung up and beaten by him like sandbags.
The Fire Prince tried his best but could not withstand a round of fighting. It is estimated that ten or eight black iron golems would be nothing more than paper toys in front of Casta.
Casta was obviously not an ordinary melee warrior. He immediately sensed Xuan Weizi's position. He raised his head and glared. The emerald green light curtain expanded outward like lightning, directly blocking all teleportation within a radius of more than a thousand feet.
effect.
"Are you kidding me? To deploy such a large-scale 'dimensional lock' at a glance? Even in Huowu City, dozens of anti-teleportation spell towers need to be linked to achieve such an effect. Even legendary spells are not so easy and casual.
!”
Along with the forbidden space teleportation, the power of dimensional crossing unfolded, disturbing the boundary between the material plane and the etheric plane. A long shuttle-like magic ship suddenly appeared in mid-air six or seven hundred feet away from Xuan Weizi.
There are three pairs of fins similar to paddles on both sides, causing the flow of magical energy, which is particularly abrupt and eye-catching at this moment.
"Damn! What's going on?! Didn't you say that in the spirit state, effects like 'Dimension Lock' won't affect us?!" The Shadow Blade Legend Assassin in the magic ship shouted in shock.
The two Ethereal Masters who were also in the magic ship were anxious and angry: "Isn't it just for convenience that you can take action at any time? We have always kept the magic ship at the edge of the etheric plane. Who would have guessed that there is such a large-scale attack?"
Dimension Lock'? And this is not only a 'Dimension Lock', it also has some other effects, dragging us out of the etheric plane!"
Xuan Weizi stared at the magic ship that appeared out of thin air, secretly on guard, but also a little curious.
Although Xuan Weizi could vaguely sense that someone was lurking nearby and planned to assassinate him at the right time, he was not able to directly detect the other person's existence. He only relied on the spiritual platform's advance knowledge, creating an effect similar to a mage's "early warning technique".
When the magic ship was hidden by Casta's strange "dimensional lock", Xuan Weizi felt a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling. What was familiar was the effect of concealment, which was somewhat close to the changes in the virtual reality of the spirit. What was unfamiliar was
It is manifested in the form of arcane magic, a magical skill that Xuan Weizi has never seen before.
"Is this the effect of 'transformation into a spirit body'? It's really unusual for the entire magic ship to enter the etheric plane, and even the people and the ship to become spirits." Xuan Weizi muttered to himself, half-understanding.
In the "Introduction to Planes" compiled by the Magic Council, the etheric plane, which belongs to the same category of "transit plane" as the star realm, has many names, such as "spirit world", "spirit world", and "soul kingdom".
” Even before the formation of the modern mage arcane system, various ancient spellcasters had already come into contact with the etheric plane.
And it can be said clearly that most of the ghosts, ghosts, or spiritual or incorporeal beings in the minds of ordinary people in the past can travel between the material plane and the etheric plane.
However, unlike the star realm, the etheric plane is more like an existence that overlaps with the main material plane of reality. After research by the mages, they found that the "depths" of the etheric plane are also connected to the elemental plane. And the elemental plane
At the intersection with the etheric plane, a large number of elemental spirits are formed, which is also the basis for spellcasters to summon elemental life through spells.
Frankly speaking, Xuan Weizi knows very little about the etheric plane, because he discovered that communication with the etheric plane is precisely based on the soul. After the death of intelligent life in this world, the soul does not fly to the sky and the earth, but to the sky and the earth.
It then disappeared from the main material plane and naturally merged into the etheric plane.
In the same way, spirits can also enter and leave the main material plane and the etheric plane at will. Sandori can observe and detect the spirit world. In fact, what she sees is the etheric plane. It is nothing more than the access method and the name.
Just a difference.
Although Xuan Weizi's Pure Yang Soul can be regarded as a "soul" to a certain extent, it is not the same thing in essence. Therefore, Xuan Weizi can easily sense the star realm, but does not have a clear understanding of the etheric plane.
As for the mage group that has the most in-depth research on the etheric plane, who else besides the etheric society? It is said that some of their mage have established strongholds in the etheric plane, and many members do not appear in the material plane, and their behavior is strange and unpredictable.
It's okay to say they look like ghosts.
"The Ether Society? I have no grudges against them, and I haven't heard that they have any sphere of influence in the New World."
Magic contract, but you, the Aether Society, are sneaking around here to carry out assassinations? It was your group who disturbed the Xingang Dharma Altar before, right?"
However, Xuan Weizi had no intention of dealing with them at the moment. Casta raised his head and stared at his invisible figure, but he did not attack like a mad dog like before. There was an unreadable meaning in his three eyes.
"... Ascending the ladder is not a way back... Why did you deceive us... Estra..." Uncharacteristically, Casta asked. He did not open his mouth to speak, and the words in his telepathy were still unclear, as if he was trying his best to suppress hatred and hatred.
Malice.
Xuan Weizi's face was expressionless when he heard the word "Astra", but Casta's words really revealed a lot of information.
First, this white-haired horned giant is most likely an ancient giant, and has gone through the process of building and activating the ascending ladder. However, his appearance is very different from the storm giants and flame giants Xuan Weizi has seen.
The life fluctuations are also different, more like some kind of hybrid.
The second is the half-giant who is good at psychic powers. He should have been deeply involved in the development and creation of the Ascending Ladder. But according to Casta, the half-giant who founded the Astra Kingdom seems to have deceived the ancient giants, and the Ascending Ladder did not
fulfill their long-cherished wish.
"Those psychics hiding in the star realm must know something. They advised me not to let the giant ruins fall into the hands of those who worship the gods, but they hid the most critical information." Xuan Weizi secretly speculated: "This person
Is the weird giant named Casta coming for me and the giant ruins? Is it possible that he was alerted by the news of the opening of the Star Gang Altar and its foundation?"
The more Xuan Weizi thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Not to mention that he touched the giant ruins when he arranged the Xing Gang Altar, which would have resonated with other ruins. If there were still giants "surviving", this move might make them
Feeling something.
Looking at the icy dust that was constantly generated around Casta due to resentment and hatred, his fragile rationality finally couldn't be stretched any longer, and the white-haired horned giant fell into rage again and let out a powerful roar that was hundreds of times more powerful than the "Advanced Roar Technique".
Thousands of times the roar, the cone-shaped sound beam shook the sky, and the surrounding aftermath shook the earth. The nearby Son of the Holy Scale and the Prince of the Earth were the first to bear the brunt!
Although the physical strength of the two of them was comparable to that of an adamantine golem at the moment, their muscles and bones were still softened by the roar, and blood surged from all their orifices. They were unable to resist at all. The Ethereal Master in the sky was shocked when Casta suddenly attacked them, and hurriedly
The magic ship was driven to evade, but was still affected by the roaring power. More than half of the gem crystals on the ship, which guided the movement of magic energy, cracked and immediately fell out of control.
"Damn! My magic ship!" The first one to speak was the legendary Shadow Blade assassin. He hovered in the air with his flying boots and felt heartbroken when he saw the magic ship falling downwards.
"It's okay, it can still be used after repairing it!" Old Master Wutong said with a gloating smile.
"No, that monster is targeting us!" The middle-aged mage noticed Casta's gaze on the ground and locked his eyes on the three of them.
The three people who suddenly appeared, each carrying a large number of magic items, had strong aura fluctuations. In Casta's eyes, they were like trembling red cloth, attracting his attention.
"Be careful!" The middle-aged mage of the Ether Society saw the ice dust swirling around Casta's body. He jumped up and attacked the three people here. He quickly cast a "Spirit Spell" on himself.
"What are you afraid of?" Old Master Wutong had an impulse that was inconsistent with his appearance. He raised his hand and chanted a curse, and a silver-white "Vajra Fist" appeared in front of him. The diameter of the fist was close to his own height.
With the momentum, he pushed back towards the incoming Casta!
Casta's hands were empty, and he clenched his fists when he saw this. The ice dust rolled back, and the mighty frost energy gathered at the edge of his fist. Although he was flying through the air, his posture was somewhat similar to the Earth Prince's previous attack. He raised his arm to punch, and with a
A "Frost Vajra Fist", top of the head!
The fists collided, frost and mist surged, the force field exploded, and a small avalanche broke out in mid-air.
"He can also 'Vajra Fist'? What kind of monster is this?!" The old mage Wutong was blown away by the shock wave of the spell collision.
"Vajra Fist" is a typical arcane spell. It belongs to the same series as "Protective Palm", "Capturing Palm", and "Smashing Palm". They are all shaped by force field energy and are strong and indestructible. They can only be "dispelled by magic".
” or “dissociation technique” and other means to destroy it.
Except for mages, there are almost no other spellcasters who are good at manipulating force field energy. There are also very few monsters who have similar spell-like abilities, let alone the combination of force field and elemental energy. Only very skilled evocation mages can do so.
There is a way to do it!
Casta was forced back by the explosive force field energy. The legendary Shadow Blade assassin on the side quickly asked: "Hey, wait a moment! What are we here to do? Aren't we going to assassinate Doctor Olenso? How can we become one with the indigenous people?
Fighting monsters?"
"He is targeting us!" Old Master Wutong said angrily: "The teleportation was restricted by the 'Dimension Lock', and the magic ship was damaged by the large semi-conducting energy crystal. Just relying on the normal flying speed, it will be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
This monster caught up with me, and you just saw how fast he was!"
The middle-aged mage focused on identifying the fluctuations of spiritual light on Casta's body, and said nervously: "It's a legendary monster! It's just that his bloodline is very mixed. I didn't see where he came from at first. It seems that he has some troll bloodline, so he should
Afraid of fire and acid!”
"Stop talking, that guy is here again!" Old Mage Wutong pulled out a scroll wrapped with a dark green ribbon from his waist. Before it was unfolded, a dark force that could wither the vitality of all things radiated out.
"Is this the 'energy absorption technique' created by the vice-president?" the middle-aged mage asked.
The old mage without pupil said with a cruel smile: "There are also additional 'Advanced Spell Penetration' and 'Spell Upgrading'. No matter what legendary monster it is, it will still be beaten into a weakling with one shot, and then captured and studied carefully. It is also an additional gain."
!”
The middle-aged mage immediately understood his companion's plan and said to the legendary assassin: "Come and contain that monster!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Casta once again rolled up the majestic ice and snow, condensed it into a big stick that looked like a leg bone, lit up the waves of cold light, and rushed towards the Ether Society mage in the air.
"Damn it! Next time I see that old man, I must pay more!" The legendary assassin of Shadow Blade cursed, and the figure hidden under the shadow cloak flicked, like an octopus spitting ink, and suddenly a large supernatural shadow was formed, like the sky and the earth.
A stroke of thick ink smeared out, and even though Casta blew the cold wind into it, it was unable to stir the shadow even a little bit.
In the shadow, it was black and opaque, odorless and tasteless. Casta picked up the cold light popsicle and smashed it angrily, but couldn't hit anything.
Before he could fly out of the shadow range, Casta suddenly noticed that five places on the back of his knees, ankles, and throat were scratched by sharp blades almost at the same time. The huge power that erupted in only a small area, even an adamantine ingot was estimated to be enough.
He wanted to be cut open like butter. The sharp blade in the shadow seemed to find out from Casta's strong body a weakness that even he himself didn't know about. On top of the sharp blade, a single drop of it was enough to poison hundreds of cattle and sheep.
Alchemical poison!
When Casta burst out of the shadows, blood mixed with poison was sprayed out from five wounds at high pressure, and instantly turned into turbid ice crystals after leaving the body. The wounds seemed to be minor, but in fact the injuries were extremely deep, and the tendons that controlled the movement of the limbs had been destroyed.
Cutting off and injuring the throat can even cause the heads of several adult bison to be decapitated!
Casta, who was as strong as Casta, immediately stopped moving and flew toward the two Ether Masters by inertia, relying on his extraordinary vitality to heal himself at a high speed. His neck was almost cut in half, making it impossible for him to open his mouth to breathe.
"Hmph! That's all! A monster is just a monster after all, no matter how strong it is?" The smile of the old mage Wutong seemed to be more sinister than Casta's. His "energy absorption technique" was already ready to go, and the entire scroll melted.
It turned into magical ashes and turned into a string of jumping black lightning at the fingertips, like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole and biting the legendary giant.
This ninth-level necromancy spell can weaken a series of abilities from life constitution, spellcasting level to saving throw resistance. No matter how high your Fortitude saving throw is, you cannot completely eliminate the effectiveness of the spell, let alone the fact that the scroll itself comes from the Etheric Society.
The hand of the legendary mage!
Boom~~~
The sound of wild thunder was deafening. The old mage Wu Pupil looked at Casta who was hit by the "energy-absorbing spell" and fell to the ground without any strength. He was still a little stunned when he suddenly heard the shocking thunder. He thought about the one who stepped into it.
A legendary-level teacher created this high-penetrating and upgraded "energy-absorbing technique" scroll. I haven't heard of any additional sonic effects?
However, when he reacted, the legendary Shadow Blade assassin had already fallen from the large shadow, covered in smoke, and his life or death was uncertain.
