In a sense, my fight with Heng is a typical mage style.
Careful observation, no-fault but no-nonsense start-up testing, meticulous observation of weak points, defending the opponent’s testing and attacking, and so on, and of course, the sudden final blow that is enough to take the opponent’s life .
Therefore, generally speaking, a duel between two mages will look boring. They will first summon cannon fodder, set up defensive magic, and make themselves invincible first, and then start casting spells to test the opponent or destroy the opponent's cannon fodder. , or try to lift the other party's protection, and expose one's own weaknesses first is the loser.
Then, if it weren't for the huge difference in strength, it would be possible for two academic mages to fight for two or three hours. When most of the energy was devoted to protection and their own safety, the scene would not look good.
But even with the regular mage fighting style, my duel with Heng is a little different...
The glacier city wall built by Baixue suffered repeated blows. After the front was inexplicably turned into an ice sculpture, the remaining undead did not retreat. After all, the undead creatures lacked fear and did not care about morale. The will of the Lord of Death is above everything else.
"Rush over! Step on your own kind and go over!"
The inexplicable thoughts of the Undead Legion converged into the same will, and the will was almost real, as if an invisible skeleton master was howling in the void.
The high-level death knight climbed on the bones of his subordinates, and was the first to climb the top of the city wall, and before he could be grateful for his success, the next moment, the chill from under his feet made him a member of the ice sculpture.
But the next moment, his death knight apprentice stepped on his corpse and took two more steps forward, and it also turned into an ice sculpture. Then, another skeleton general stepped on her corpse again...
Even though the bottomless abyss that silently swallows everything in front of them, the black blind stream still marches slowly and unwaveringly, just like the cannibal ant colony that no one dares to stop.
"The river is filled up, and the volcano is stepped out. Although it looks stupid, it is a very practical method. After all, magic also needs energy as energy, and energy will always be exhausted. This is the most basic way. rule."
Since it is a spell that can only be effective by contact, then it is necessary to isolate it with bones. If it is a spreading spell, then use cannon fodder to consume all curses and negative energy. If it is limited by function and regularity, then, Just use cannon fodder to test out all the rules.
This is the basis of the army of the undead sweeping the countries. No matter how delicate and powerful your protective magic is, and how powerful your attacking magic is, as long as there are enough cannon fodder to fill it, no matter how subtle and powerful techniques are, there are limits. Mage will also be exhausted.
The black torrent always travels slowly, looking slow and sluggish. It seems that you can escape just by stepping up two steps, but it cannot be stopped. No matter where you escape, the result is the same. This is the natural disaster of the dead, which is regarded by the world as death itself. Plague King.
In this duel between the undead emperors, this is just a test of appetizers. She has as many cannon fodder as she wants.
Of course, I also have a way to check and balance, but before that, I have to deal with Heng's spell attack first.
Heng's spellcasting has been completed, and the dark clouds flew over from a distance, but when they got close, they instantly turned into fragments, covering the entire Yunzhong City at once, and the eyes were full of black fog.
The dark cloud in front of you is not some kind of attack magic, it is a layer of pitch-black fog, in which countless dark elves are circling and imagining. joke.
"Proprietary magic?"
"Well, I shouldn't have seen it on the main plane. It should be a special application of negative energy, and even the prying eyes of the soul can stop it... There is a smell of soul in this fog, and it should be a sacrifice that uses undead subordinates as sacrifices. Divine-like magic. It's really a good idea to use the fragments of the soul to block the peeping of the soul."
I nodded, and my conjecture is almost the same. It is good to have an encyclopedia. Many conjectures can be confirmed in an instant. Then, since you know the general principle of this spell, you should be able to find a way to deal with it.
"Purification... No, absorb it! Using soul-based spells in front of the soul master is just teasing me."
Under my order, the national-level soul tower in the center of Eternal Night City was fully activated. Those soul fragments in the cloud and mist did not even have the strength to resist, and were directly absorbed by it. The death fog that blocked the vision would instead become the tower in the cloud. The new energy that just dropped to 90% of the total energy returned to 92%, but obviously I took advantage of it, but I was a little anxious unknowingly.
"...I'm afraid her next spell is ready."
This is the rhythm gap between spell casters. The undead emperor with the legion can also cast spells himself, which is equivalent to her taking two steps and me taking one step.
The rookie will probably be happy because he can crack the opponent's offensive, but I have a headache because of the loss of the initiative. I know that when the rhythm is pulled, the advantages have accumulated enough, and when I can't handle it myself, it is probably the key to winning and losing. It's time.
The gap was there from the beginning, and the actions of the undead army also threatened me. She had enough cannon fodder to use at the beginning, and I could only see tricks. It's a bit of a loss of rhythm to have to deal with her two steps at the same time.
"As expected, the big man from there?"
The black mist had just dissipated, but he saw a huge skeleton giant, which had already stepped over my ice wall. He originally rushed towards us, but when he found that the cloud and mist of Cloud City began to dissipate, But without hesitation, he gave up attacking the city in front of him, and immediately turned to break through this strange world.
Skeleton giants are not a rare undead arm. Both the congenital giant body and the acquired giant bone synthesis can create such a killing machine. The high-level necromancer makes such undead creatures often used to siege cities. After all, this thing is eye-catching. It is also slow, and it is easy to cause trouble for opponents. The energy consumption is also extremely terrible, and it is not cost-effective to deal with small targets.
"No, this is no ordinary skeleton giant."
But compared with his sluggish companions, this silver-grey giant is very agile. The frequency of the big foot bone moves so fast that it actually creates intermittent seismic waves. What flashes in his eyes is not the soul of the undead. Fire, but a magic diamond probe inlaid with sapphire, and the other eye also emits an infrared-like red light.
What he is holding in his hand is not a giant sword, a tomahawk or other cold weapons, but a fire-breathing spear that is emitting this scorching flame, and at his key links, screws and welding plates can also be seen The traces of his body actually have steel plate armor, and the soles of his feet... can still see auxiliary wheels and fire-breathing thrusters!
"...Undead Gundam, did you go to the wrong theater? This is the new species the dracolich said?"
I can vaguely feel that there are many independent souls in the body of this monster. This skeleton giant is actually just a vehicle, and the cab seems to be in the abdominal cavity. This is obviously not caused by ordinary undead magic, at least The Undead Emperor, who has been in the plane of death for many years, decided that he could not make this fusion of magic and engineering.
My first impression when I saw this guy was bad, the strength this guy may have is one thing, and his appearance marks the most troublesome situation has occurred - the undead have either acquired the legacy of the Sage Plane, or That is, it has been united with the owner of the inheritance, and the enemy we have to face is not just an undead emperor.
Perhaps the total amount of energy in Eternal Night City was too frightening, or perhaps the superior had given a death order. The half-constructed skeleton giant who was obviously also an ace had no plans to fight against Eternal Night City. He crossed the ice wall and just took care of himself. marching forward in an attempt to break through our lines of defense.
"Timiret would probably like a gift like this."
"The premise is that you can accept it completely."
"sure."
If it was an ordinary powerhouse, it would probably have been scared to death, but in the eyes of old fritters like us, this is still just a toy, or a toy with an unimportant design failure.
"Strategic Super Magic: Fossils are Mud!"
This spell smashed in front of the giant, and the flat land suddenly turned into a swamp, and the deeper swamp was still under the swamp. , punched, exploded, and kicked his legs vigorously. The standard long jump action was extremely well completed, and then... he rolled halfway in the air and directly slammed into the pit.
"Pfft, the action was done well, but I didn't jump up at all."
"Nonsense, the skeleton giant has no muscle tissue, the magic power-driven walking is already the limit, simulating human movements is just instinct, but also planning to play sprint and long jump? Really think he is a completely unscientific Red Zeon, paint color can be three times faster ?"
And I wasn't happy too early. The high-energy response in the distance showed that Heng had prepared a new spell, and the undead below had already broken through the ice wall. It seemed that our rhythm had been pulled.
On the ice wall, the undead were already densely crawling, and the sacrifice spirit of the Heng Legion was simply touching, so... So, I was moved without hesitation and pulled up another ice wall, learned a lesson, and compared It was previously two meters taller and three meters wider.
"Go ahead, I see how many cannon fodder you have."
Although my mouth is very arrogant, I have no bottom in my heart. After all, the ice wall technique that contains freezing air consumes too much energy. It is nearly 10% of the total energy of Evernight City at one time, and in order to ensure the safety of Evernight City And combat power, I don't dare to use energy below 50%, such an ice wall delay tactic can't be used a few times.
And the most annoying thing is that you can't let your opponent keep the initiative like this. The situation will get worse and worse, and we need time to fight back.
"I'll go to the sub-tower and leave the spell battle with that guy to me. You clean up the cannon fodder first."
However, Heloise was very diligent and took the initiative to take on the important task. Her strategic decision was obviously correct. Since Heng, who was too far away at this time, could not be eliminated, she used Tian Ji's horse racing strategy to suppress the opponent's weaknesses and eliminated those Annoying cannon fodder is true, but I hesitate.
"... The other party is the Undead Emperor, at least be careful."
Even with the addition of the Mage Tower, it is still very difficult to face the undead emperor alone. The invisible curse, the sealing technique above the plane level, and the permanent damage of special negative energy can make Heloise fall.
But Heloise laughed. She slowly transformed into an adult form in the silver bell-like laughter, her silky blond hair was dragging on the ground, and the familiar pretty face was in front of her, exhaling like blue, but deliberately rubbed in his ears.
"Undead Emperor? Who do you think I am, and who taught your undead magic? I have taught the woman of the Undead Emperor, and now my accumulation is enough, and it can be regarded as a woman who is about to become the Undead Emperor. Be careful of her? I also look forward to getting a chance to break through in battle!"
She turned into a phantom in her charming smile, and I was able to focus on the undead army below me. It was really reassuring to have such a helper who was completely trustworthy in terms of ability.
"What spell to prepare next, it's best to kill the big spells of the middle and high-level undead at one time. Anyway, there is the energy reserve of the mage tower, so just consume it a little..."
