Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 54: A Song of Ice and Fire

Views:

At the critical moment of life and death, Amon didn't care whether to expose his identity as a magician, so it was important to save his life first. The ice shield condensed by the water element is not very protective, and it is not even considered a defensive magic, but it is the first magic that Amon learned, and it is also the fastest and most convenient to activate. He is in the middle of the Youdi River. In the center, the easiest thing to summon is the power of the water element.

Amon's vigilance was a bit late, and he launched the fastest divine spell to make a move. He formed an ice shield in the air to block it first, and then used the earth element protection with the best frontal resistance effect to block it again. But the snake tail was too huge, and the weight and speed alone could break the two barriers, but it bought time for Amon to perform the space solidification technique, and frozen the huge snake tail in the air for a moment.

Before the people on the boat could react, they heard Amon yell again, the bow of the boat suddenly sank, and he had already jumped into the sky with his staff. The branch-like staff emitted a layer of faint light, and it silently struck the tail of the snake in the air. A shocking tremor spread along the long body of the giant snake, and many snake scales were cracked and flew off. .

Amon is only a fourth-level warrior in terms of strength, and he has not had time to practice the theoretical fifth-level physical skills. But when the staff hit the snake's body, a light blue flame spread rapidly along the snake's body along with the shock wave-like tremor, as if using the staff to ignite the huge snake's tail.

Not to mention the monsters in the river, even the veteran warriors on the mainland have never seen Amon's style of play. He swung the staff like an iron rod and directly cast divine spells close to his body, and it was used by a mid-level magician. It is a very difficult sea of fire technique, even the flame is the hottest light blue.

It's impossible to describe how powerful this blow is. If the snake's tail was carved from a giant wood as thick as a bucket, it could be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye. But the body of this monster is really strong, only a few scales have been knocked off, and there is a pungent burnt smell in the air. There was a muffled strange roar from the depths of the river, and the tail of the snake was lifted up by Amon's stick, and quickly retracted into the water. There was a crackling sound when the flame touched the water surface, and a white smoke-like steaming mist rose from the Youdi River.

Hearing a "bang", the bow of the boat sank again, and Amon hit the snake's tail back into the water with a stick in the air, and fell down again.

Only then did the people on the boat react from the shock, screaming and crying. Due to the shock of the hull, some people had fallen to the ground, and the livestock were frightened and screaming, and some boatmen were yelling in horror: " My God, it's a strange snake, the descendant of the river god Humbaba! Why did it appear during the day?"

Some people knelt down towards Amon at the bow and cried, "Great magician, please save us!" Immediately afterwards, more people began to cry to Amon, as if they were drowning Grabbing a life-saving straw, they had just seen the scene of Amon fighting the strange snake.

The first time Amon performed a magic spell in public, he was called the "great magician". After all, his actions were not only protecting himself but also the people on the ship. The cries of the people were immediately drowned out by the thunder-like roar from the bottom of the water. Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared on one side of the boat, and the water surface sank. Then a huge wave surged up, throwing the boat high up. Roll into the air.

The strange thing is that the vortex did not tilt the ferry, nor did the huge waves overturn it. "It got down and drifted far to the upper reaches of the river. Amon stood at the bow of the ship holding his staff, with an extremely dignified expression, as if the staff in his hand was controlling the entire hull.

Two warriors among the passengers had already drawn out their swords and stepped onto the bow, one on the left and one on the right to protect Amon's side. They were originally the bodyguards of a businessman, and at this moment they could see that whether they could escape from the monster's poisonous hands today depended on whether the magician could protect the ferry. If the boat capsized and everyone fell into the water, no one would be spared. Their swords could not attack the monsters in the water, so they stood up to protect Amon and cast magic.

The ferry boat drifted and slipped from the top of the waves, avoiding the end of capsizing. The strange roar of the bottom of the water continued, and the water surface became turbid, surging like boiling. Immediately, the two wave walls rose again, slapping towards the ferry boat from left to right. In the waves, a huge dark green snake body could be vaguely seen, unexpectedly appearing on the left and right sides of the boat at the same time. The length of this snake is really terrifying!

The strange snake may have been hurt by Amon's sea of fire technique that hit the long tail, but it hid at the bottom of the water and could not come out. It used the huge power of its terrifying body to make waves. As long as the boat was overturned, the magician fell into the water, will let it be slaughtered.

Amon vigorously swung his staff forward, and the water surface in front of him seemed to be smoothed by an invisible giant hand, and the two huge waves on the left and right instantly solidified into dynamic ice sculptures. A panicked boatman fell into the water because he couldn't stand still. Fortunately, the companion next to him caught it with a boat pole in time, and the boatman who fell into the water grabbed the boat pole and climbed up again. No one dared to stand on the side of the boat anymore, and naturally it was impossible for anyone to punt the boat, and the ferry lost power.

The surge was frozen by the freezing technique, the body of the snake under the huge wave twisted, and the ice sculpture shattered immediately. At this moment, Amon's staff pointed forward, and the boat was pulled by an invisible force and rushed forward quickly against the water surface, leaving the water area. Amon didn't want to be entangled with an aquatic monster in the wide Youdi River. He wanted to escape, and it was wise to reach the opposite bank as soon as possible.

The ferry floated extremely fast on the water, and Amon had the experience of controlling the invisible big ship made of bones, so he could control it so freely. He can escape quickly with the power of air element and water element magic, but it is difficult to use this power to attack monsters living in water.

If an experienced magician saw this scene, he might suspect that Amon was a great magician. Although he used all middle-level and low-level magic spells, he didn't see any stagnation in continuous activation. The ingenuity and smoothness of power control is almost to the extreme, which is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary mid-level magicians, and the "staff" in his hand does not seem to be even inlaid with a god stone.

Amon barely managed to do this by relying on the magic of the staff. He cast powerful magic spells continuously. He felt dizzy for a while, but he still stood firmly on the bow of the ship with his strong body. If he wasn't a mid-level warrior, he might have been weak and fell to the ground.

The boat was moving forward at high speed, but suddenly there was a line of water on the downstream river, shooting forward like an arrow, drawing a huge arc in the river, the body of the giant snake finally surfaced, and the snake Meng's way was blocked. This snake was over a hundred feet long. It stood in front of the ship and raised its head to reveal its true face. Its bloody mouth opened in midair, enough to swallow a cow. Its long letter was like a giant bloody Suo, his bowl-sized eyes showed a fierce light.

Ordinary snakes can't bark, but when this strange snake raised its ugly and terrifying head, the air was pumped in its throat and it made a bull's roar, which was heard far away on the Youdi River. Seeing the strange snake showing its terrifying true face and blocking the way ahead, and under its snake kiss, the people on board looked so small and weak, many people uttered desperate cries.

Amon was also trembling in his heart. He knew how powerful this giant snake was. He tried his best to barely hold the ferry just now, but the snake was faster than the boat he controlled in the water, and it still stopped in front. It was obviously irritated. . If you were standing on the bank of the river, you could fight it, even if you couldn't win, you could run, but in this river, you have no confidence at all.

But no matter what, he could only do his best at this moment. Amon had no other distracting thoughts in his mind. He held his staff tightly and pointed forward, using all his power to prepare for a thunderous blow. It is impossible for him to think about the three things that the old lunatic reminded him now. Under such circumstances, why would he talk about using the smallest strength as possible, for fear that his strength is not strong enough, and his life will be lost if there is a slight flaw.

The sword-holding hands of the two warriors beside them were trembling, and their faces showed despair. They had more or less seen that the powerful magician beside him had tried his best just now, and he might not be the opponent of the monster.

Amid the terrified cries, Amon suddenly heard Yin Nanna's voice ringing in his ears: "Amon, the scroll!"

That's right, why did you forget that there are five scrolls in the leather pocket? Yin Nanna reminded that it's time! Amon seemed calm, but he was actually extremely nervous. He had never used scrolls before, and he was out of breath after performing magic spells one after another. He didn't expect it for a while.

Before Yin Nanna finished speaking, Amon took out a handful of things from his leather pocket and threw them forward. If he has never done anything before, he is inexperienced. No magician would use scrolls like him. He took all the five scrolls together. Throw it out. The staff in his hand trembled and activated the scrolls one after another, and the scrolls could only be unfolded one by one. As a result, Amon only activated three of them.

The scroll itself condenses the magic power consumed by the creator, and does not require the user to cast it himself, but the user must also be able to control the magic spell emitted by the scroll. These three are all high-quality mid-level magic scrolls, and the requirements for control are quite high. Amon activated them in a short period of time, and continuous control of these three magic skills is already the limit. He will never develop the other two. Not open.

The first scroll is "Space Imprisonment". There is no scene of a power explosion. The figure of the giant snake floating on the water with its head raised wants to twist and struggle. The water is also violently surging, but it is always in that space for a while. Can't break free. It is enough to control it for such a short time, and the other two scrolls are unfolded in sequence.

The second activated scroll was not an attack scroll either, it was called "Detection Forbidden". The light and shadow around the giant snake distorted and turned into chaos. It couldn't see the river and its banks, as if it was suddenly in a strange place, and it didn't know where Amon and the boat were. In fact, the giant snake is still in place, but it is temporarily cut off from the outside world.

What these two scrolls emit are auxiliary divine spells, they can't really damage or attack, but they are powerful, and they are used to cooperate with other offensive divine spells. Amon picked up a total of eight scrolls, five of which were marked with instructions, and the other three unmarked scrolls were obtained next to Nero's staff.

In fact, the creators of these eight scrolls are all Nero. There was such a master scroll maker in the team that hunted and killed Bell back then, how could he not prepare scrolls for other magicians? These mid-level scrolls are not very effective against Bell, and they were not used at the beginning, but now they are enough to deal with the Youdi River monsters.

"Space Confinement" and "Detection Forbidden" are both standard scrolls. According to the records in the divine art books, no matter who made them, they are the same. But the third scroll inspired by Amon was originally created by Nero, and its name is "Song of Ice and Fire".

Unable to see the surrounding situation, the huge body of the strange snake temporarily imprisoned in the invisible space was suddenly surrounded by a piece of blue ice rising from the water. The formation of solid ice on this river is particularly fast, which adds to the power of the magic. If the scroll is activated in a dry desert, it will not have the same effect, and the power of the magic also depends on the environment.

The assistance of "Space Imprisonment" made the ice layer stronger, but this solid ice did not directly wrap around the snake's body, like a huge thick ice shell, with a wide space left inside. A raging blue flame instantly ignited in this space, and the direction of the scorching flame was all towards the huge snake body in the center of the ice shell, but it did not melt the surrounding ice layer at all.

A mass of scorching heat was wrapped in the deep cold, and the giant snake in the ice shell had nowhere to hide, let out a painful roar, and twisted its body frantically. As soon as the faint blue flame appeared, it quickly shrank and became smaller, absorbing on the snake's body and turning into a layer of faint flame. It seemed that all the heat of the flame should have penetrated into the strange snake's body.

Of course, the twisting body of the strange snake hit the ice shell, making a burst of shattering sounds, but at the same time as the flame shrank, the ice layer also spread inward rapidly, filling the inner space with ice, tightly wrapped around the body of the giant snake.

A sheet of scorched smoke instantly rose from the body of the over 100-foot-long giant snake. In the scorching heat, it was suddenly invaded by bone-piercing ice, and a series of crackling sounds came from the ice layer. It was the sudden evaporation of water vapor. Compression expands and explodes in a confined space. The huge ice shell was blown into countless fragments, and the huge monster that was frozen in the ice layer and burned was also blown to pieces and turned into burnt fragments.

That giant snake is dead!

Amon staggered and felt dizzy for a while. He almost lost his footing. He gasped when he saw this scene. The power of the "Song of Ice and Fire" is so powerful, if he is accidentally surrounded by the magical arts unfolded by this scroll and cannot get out immediately at the first moment, he may end up in a dead end.

The great magician Nero who has never met is worthy of being a top-notch scroll-making master. This scroll combines two common but powerful middle-level magic spells, which are the "Frozen" and "Frozen" that Amon just performed. Sea of fire", but it can stimulate the sea of fire into the ice, and exert incredible damage power in the alternation of fiery heat and ice cold. Although it is only an intermediate divine art scroll, it is no less than an ordinary high-level divine art scroll.

The monstrous and seemingly invincible serpent was thus destroyed, and its bones were scattered in the river. When Amon threw out the scroll, the big ship under his feet was still moving forward due to inertia. He waved his staff, and a gust of wind picked up the other two scrolls that fell from the air, caught them and stuffed them back into his leather pocket.

Although Amon happily and swiftly killed the monster, he was extremely shocked and surprised, and even had a trace of regret. He has no real experience in using scrolls, so it was obviously wasted just now. If you just want to kill the giant snake, it is enough to use "Space Prison" and "Song of Ice and Fire" at the same time. If you just want to escape to the opposite bank by bypassing the giant snake's obstruction, and use "Space Imprisonment" and "Detection Forbidden" at the same time, there is enough time.

In any case, he wasted a precious scroll. If it wasn't for his mana not being enough to continuously control and activate five middle-level scrolls, the other two would have been wasted as well. But Amon didn't think it was too much of a pity. In the situation just now, he was afraid that he would not be able to exert his greatest strength. He had to save his own life and the lives of the entire ship before talking about anything else. Otherwise, what's the use of keeping the scroll and dying? It's just that you need to pay attention to control when using the scrolls in the future, and you can't throw them all without experience.

The Youdi River was calm again, and five of the boatman's six long poles had fallen into the water just now, making it impossible to push the boat anymore. It was still Amon who used divine magic to propel the big boat to the opposite bank. Ahead passed through a piece of turbid water, pieces of crushed ice were floating on the water, and some pieces of crushed ice were wrapped with small pieces of strange snakes.

Amon suddenly discovered something, picked up the staff in his hand, and a thing about seven feet long flew out of the water. It was golden and translucent and very thin, and it rolled into a small ball when it landed in his hand. Amon twisted it with his hands, and found that it was extremely tough, like a piece of snake tendon. The body of a strange snake over a hundred feet long had already been wiped out, but this seven-foot-long piece of snake tendon appeared in "A Song of Ice and Fire" Under the power of ", it was completely preserved. It must not be an ordinary thing. He also stuffed it into his leather pocket.

After this thrilling struggle, the ferryboat became silent. Amon put away the snake tendons and turned around strangely, only to find that almost everyone in the cabin was kneeling on the ground towards him. Even the two warriors who were guarding him just now put down their swords and took a few steps back, knelt down on the board of the boat to salute, only Yin Nanna was still standing when the boat was full.

There was still a faint foul smell in the cabin. It turned out that several people were so frightened that they peed and shit.

"What are you all doing kneeling, you don't need to salute me like this. It's okay, everyone, get up and see if anyone is injured." Amon waved his staff and spoke to everyone, with a trace of tiredness and weakness in his voice.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone shouted in unison: "Great magician, your power is amazing, thank you for saving everyone!", "Great god Marduk! Great heroic magician! Yes! You saved us!", "Thank God, thank you!" People were all ecstatic about their lives after the catastrophe, and many of them shed tears of excitement.

The owner of the ferry got up and walked to the front, knelt down again and said, "Great magician, please forgive my impoliteness, I didn't know that you, the noble, were on my ferry... But why are you dressed like this?"
