Age of Adepts

Chapter 202: fire demon

Views:

In the jungle in the distance, flames burst out and flames churned.

The death cry of the accompanying mercenaries and the angry roar of the law-breaker knights can be clearly heard!

The expression on the middle-aged Radiant Knight's face suddenly changed. He didn't care about entanglement with Bloody Mary in front of him, so he jumped up and rushed towards the distant battlefield.

As a senior member of the knight order, he knew in his heart that the knight squad in the distance had only 2 law-breaker knights. With such a lineup, facing the terrifying fire demon, heart-wrenching casualties were very likely.

According to the pure rank analysis, the law-breaker knights and wizards are both rank 1, and each has the ultimate power to kill the other. Then the two law-breaker knights in the distant battlefield should have the advantage when facing a level 1 wizard!

Unfortunately, such an idealized comparison never really appeared.

One side is an evil wizard from a powerful plane, and the other side is a melee knight from a weak plane. If the stagnation caused by the suppression of the plane is smoothed out, the level 1 wizard can almost be said to have an absolute advantage in the scene when facing the same level of magic-breaking knights!

Weak wizards may be afraid of those elusive ghost assassins, but when they face these thick-skinned tank knights, they clearly have a professional combat advantage. Aren't you rough-skinned and thick-skinned? One witchcraft can't touch you, so I'll use two! If I can't beat two, I'll use three!

As for close combat? Hey, no wizard would be foolish enough to fight melee with a law-breaker knight like an iron can! With the horrific speed of the law-breaker knight, trying to catch up with the fast-moving wizard in the thorny and bushy mountain forest is simply a dream.

Whether it's flame jumping, shadow shuttle, or elemental wind wings, wizards have a lot of means to keep a safe casting distance from knights with less mobility. Therefore, only wizards fly knights' kites, but it is rare for knights to trap wizards somewhere to besiege them.

Of course, not all wizards have the ability to move quickly. So in the first half month, three wizards have already died on this strangulation line. The rest, on the other hand, all have powerful mobility and transfer capabilities, and also possess some powerful lethal witchcraft.

Based on these two points alone, as long as you don't run into the shining knight, in the powerful collision between the wizard and the law-breaker knight, the wizard often has more than 70% chance of winning! So the wizard camp lost 3 wizards, and the knight camp was killed as many as 22.

Therefore, suddenly seeing that terrifying fire demon slaughtering the elite in the distance, the glorious knight in front of him was furious, and while he was on guard against the sneak attack of Bloody Mary above his head, he rushed towards the battlefield with all his might.

But it's not the same as he imagined!

The middle-aged Glorious Knight originally thought that this Bloody Mary would desperately entangle him and create opportunities for that Fire Demon. But who would have thought that Bloody Mary didn't care about his departure, instead she spread her wings and quickly rushed towards the young law-breaker knight behind him.

This time, the face of the middle-aged glorious knight completely changed!

At this point, he also fully understood why Bloody Mary appeared here.

If he insisted on rescuing the two law-breaker knights, the law-breaker knights who stayed here might not escape the slaughter of Bloody Mary. But if he doesn't come to the rescue...

The roar of flames in the forest in the distance became more rapid and wild, and a crimson and almost white pillar of fire shot up into the sky, bringing the forest nearly 100 meters into the terrifying world of flames. At the same time, an egg-shaped flame barrier also emerged, it was the iconic flame barrier of the fire demon!

The middle-aged shining knight shook his head angrily and sighed secretly, then turned around and rushed towards the female vampire who was circling around the young law-breaker knight. Now that the fire demon has even opened the flame barrier, one can imagine the fate of the two law-breaker knights who fought with him.

Instead of rescuing two subordinates who may have been killed, it is more important to keep the companions behind!

Seeing the shining knight rushing back, Mary cursed a few words in a low voice, and could only escape the opponent's attack range in a blink of an eye. She may have the ability to kill a law-breaker knight, but when facing a shining knight who is one level higher than herself, she can only back away from it, never daring to expose herself within the opponent's controllable range.

Radiant knights can fuse the rune energy from the outside world with the life energy in their bodies to form a powerful knight combat technique similar to exposing energy. This allowed their attacks to break free from the shackles of the weapons in their hands, and had a semi-long-range effect.

And because the concentration of energy is much higher than that of elemental spells, this half-range knight combat technique not only has a strong ability to break defenses, but can also directly annihilate or cancel the spells cast by the caster. This is also the origin of the name of the lawbreaker knight!

And the Radiant Knight is undoubtedly stronger than the Spellbreaker Knight.

Their strength mainly lies in their ability to use rune energy to strengthen their bodies, and the path they take is somewhat similar to the path of body-training wizards in the wizarding world. It's just that the body-refining wizard uses various toxins or extreme pain to strengthen his physical body by consuming the body's potential, while the shining knight uses rune energy to make himself burst into a more powerful physical body in a short period of time. physical strength.

Although they have the same goal by different routes, both of them have shown the same powerful physical combat power!

So Mary could tease a lawbreaker knight in her hands with her agility, but she could only turn around and run away when she met the brilliant knight. beat? With Mary's current strength, it would be very difficult for her attack to break through the Radiant Knight's personal protection, which is a mixture of rune energy and life energy.

On the contrary, once the distance is shortened, Mary may be instantly killed on the spot if she is seized by the Radiant Knight.

Mary's blood-colored armor infused with blood energy can only defend against elemental attacks of 110 degrees at most, while the combined attacks of the Radiance Knight's 150 degrees or more are more than enough to instantly kill a melee wizard like her. That's why Mary never dared to step within ten steps of the shining knight.

Looking at Bloody Mary who was as cunning as a fox, the middle-aged brilliant knight was filled with unspeakable humiliation.

This little wizard was far behind him in terms of strength and strength, but he insisted on relying on his terrifying agility far beyond ordinary people to make him, a second-level knight, helpless against him. The attack power of the Radiant Knight is powerful, but there is nothing he can do if he can't hit the enemy!

Just a little bit of delay here, the battle in the distant mountains and forests is coming to an end!

As the horrific bushfires raged in all directions, the crackling of the fireballs began to fade away and then fell silent.

On the many hilltops, high cliffs, and forest tops in the mountains and forests, there are countless pairs of eyes silently watching the area where the battle broke out. At the same time, countless sad sighs sounded from the depths of the forest.

Greem didn't care about the many outside snoops.

There were seven or eight wind-breathing monsters floating in the surrounding mountains and forests above, and a dozen or so clay golems walking freely underground. It was impossible for Grimm to detect any disturbance within a radius of ten miles. It was precisely by virtue of his extreme control over the battlefield that Greem was able to give full play to the group combat advantages of the Golem Legion, maintaining extreme pressure on the enemy in a small-scale local battlefield.

Dozens of knight squads scattered into the forest, in addition to the necessary native mercenaries, either consisted of 1 law-breaking knight paired with 2 witcher knights, or 2 law-breaking knights traveling in a team. Occasionally, some shining knights would mix in, intending to lure wizards to attack.

This kind of combination is also the best battle mode formed after half a month of bloody strangulation.

There are probably more than a dozen evil wizards wandering in the forest. They usually fight alone. Except for the necessary servants and summoned creatures, it is rare for two wizards to get together. The reason for this situation may also be related to the distrust among wizards and the difficulty in cooperating freely.

But once the cavaliers gathered into a team that the wizards couldn't match, even if the wizards were not happy, they would join together and form a team to attack. Therefore, after several bloody killings, the senior management of the knight order had no choice but to split the team into knight squads, and played a game of cat and mouse with the wizards in the jungle.

Most of the time wizards are cats and knight squads are mice.

Every time there is a sneak attack from a wizard, the mercenaries in the team are the fastest to lose. As long as the knights don't encounter those terrible demons, relying on their strong combat power to fight and retreat, except for some embarrassment, under normal circumstances, they will not have any worries about their lives.

However, if the incoming wizard is unlucky and encounters the shining knight hiding in the team, then the status of cat and mouse may be reversed directly. That's how the three damaged wizards died tragically at the hands of the glorious knight.

Therefore, the wizard sent to intercept the enemy in the forest must either run fast, cannot be killed, or see far. As long as you occupy one of these things, you can basically save your own life from being ruined in a dark corner in a daze.

And Greem, relying on his many elemental sentinels and his unique ability to teleport fire, was like a duck to water in such a muddy and dangerous quagmire of war. He was very proud of himself.

When other wizards discovered the knight team, they needed to carefully test it repeatedly to prevent it from falling into the hands of the shining knight. But such caution can easily arouse the vigilance of the target, turning an otherwise perfect hunt into a meaningless chase and fight.

The knight squad echoes and assists each other in the jungle. Once a companion not far away is found to be hunted down, the nearby knight squad will quickly rush to rescue and support. At that time, it was the wizard's turn to run away with his head in his arms!

Therefore, such probing, anti-probing, chasing and counter-chasing are often the least efficient.

But Greem has many eyes and ears, and can completely track and chase two or three different knight squads at the same time. No matter how well disguised the shining knight hidden in the opponent's team is, under the 360-degree monitoring of the whole process without dead ends, they will eventually reveal clues.

Therefore, Greem had enough time to select a target that he could swallow in one bite from the many prey, and then set up traps to ambush him. With less unnecessary temptation and hesitation, Greem, who is going all out, can get the biggest gains every time.

The prey he targeted had no possibility of escaping, so the process of chasing and killing was omitted. As long as the surrounding teams were controlled well and no one came to disrupt the situation, two lawbreaker knights were not enough to resist his killing.

If Greem's Voodoo Tome hadn't been able to erupt at full strength once a day, and if Greem hadn't needed to reserve nearly half of his energy to deal with possible changes, his killing speed might have been further increased.

But even so, the terrifying title of Fire Demon has quickly spread in the knight camp!
