If you want to take action, you must wait until your opponent can react.
Benjamin knew this very well.
In this case, he could actually turn around and run away so that the three priests could not find anyone, but what was the point? The three priests will soon realize the existence of the voyeur, and their vigilance will be greatly increased. As for the church's mysterious plan here in Icol, it will also have a huge impact.
Benjamin still wanted to find out what the church had planned.
Moreover, judging from the movements of the priests killing the pig, the opponent's strength should not be much stronger.
Thinking like this, before the crouching priest noticed something was wrong, Benjamin, who was hiding in the grass, took action. He used his mind to cast spells that would not emit magic waves, and used several ice-breaking spells to summon a large number of ice arrows, covering the three unprepared priests like a blizzard.
"Oops, someone attacked!"
The priests' reaction was quite fast. However, in such a short period of time, they had no time to finish reciting any spell. Therefore, they could only let the overwhelming ice arrows hit them.
However, as subordinates of the church, the life-saving crosses each of them carried saved their lives at this time. Among the swirling ice and snowflakes, three shields shining with holy light opened up three safe zones in the blizzard, protecting the three stunned priests.
Faced with this result, Benjamin was not surprised.
As long as he is a priest of the church, who doesn't have dozens or twenty magic items with him? He felt deeply disgusted by the church's style of work, but he had no choice. As long as he fought with the people in the church, he had to solve this problem first.
Otherwise, use a close-range weapon without any magic fluctuation to carry out a sneak attack to avoid the life-saving cross; otherwise, use various methods to forcibly consume all the crosses on the opponent's body.
In this situation, it is obvious that the first method cannot be used.
Therefore, Benjamin can only fight a war of attrition with these people.
When this wave of ice arrows are released, these three priests will definitely not be able to stop it with just a layer of holy light shield. In Benjamin's field of vision, he had already seen several more broken crosses on the priests. The shields were layered one after another to prevent them from being smashed into sieves in the rain of ice arrows.
but…
"Who is making a sneak attack? Why don't I feel any magic power fluctuations?"
"You guys come closer, I'll be responsible for blocking the next attack, and you try to find the guy's location!"
Seeing their confused postures, Benjamin couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. He was just hiding in the grass, like a sniper with a cold shot, and these people didn't even notice his correct location at the moment.
The benefits of mental spellcasting are vividly demonstrated at this time.
Therefore, while the other party was still in a hurry, he gathered another wave of ice arrows in his consciousness space and brought them into reality. Following the previous offensive, he bombarded the priests with wave after wave of trembling muscles. Holy light barrier.
The only pity is that these people are not stupid enough to let Benjamin beat them all the time.
They also began to chant divine magic, condensing the surrounding holy light, hoping to use divine magic to resist the attack of the rain of ice arrows, lest the life-saving crosses on their bodies be consumed in such a meaningless manner.
Seeing this, Benjamin also wanted to use the Forbidden Magic Water Ball to interrupt their chanting, but this move was a bit heavy on his mental strength - especially it had to cut off the three people's induction of the Holy Light. He estimated that if these three people were wrapped up, more than half of his mental energy would be consumed in just one minute.
Not to mention, he had to use the water balloon to create a whirlpool and consume the crosses on the three people one by one.
Therefore, hiding in the dark and constantly stealing output has become Benjamin's best choice at the moment.
"You're playing too obscenely..." The system couldn't help but complain.
Benjamin shrugged helplessly. There was nothing he could do. This was one versus three, and he was fighting three guys covered in equipment. What else could he do besides being wretched
I saw that among the countless flying ice chips, the priests were obviously trying to find traces of Benjamin. But it is a pity that they are restricted by the rain of ice arrows, making it inconvenient to move, and there is no magic fluctuation to trace. Therefore, it would probably take them a while to find Benjamin.
However, the priest who had been chanting divine magic finally completed his chant at this time.
A huge barrier shining with dazzling holy light protected the three of them. Ice arrows all over the sky hit it, causing the holy light to flash, but they still couldn't make even a single crack.
Such a powerful shield
Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but frowned.
After thinking about it, there was no point in fighting hard, so he simply dispelled the magic and stopped the continuous rain of ice arrows. Suddenly, the ice chips flying in the sky were swept away, the constant bombardment stopped, and the entire forest returned to a strange calm at this moment.
He came up with a more "obscene" method.
The three priests looked at the sudden silence in the woods, looking at each other with doubts on their faces. However, they did not use other magical techniques. Instead, the three of them were back to back, hiding in the barrier, and slowly began to move.
—Three pairs of vigilant eyes looked around, seeming to be looking for Benjamin’s location.
However, at this moment, Benjamin had quietly slipped away.
Through the water element induction method, he always maintained a distance of tens of meters from the three priests, silently watching the three people looking around nearby. But various obstacles kept popping up in the woods, so the three priests were never able to discover where Benjamin was.
The doubts on the faces of the three people became more and more intense.
In this way, after searching for about ten minutes, the three priests stopped and talked for a while. Seemingly thinking that Benjamin had run away, they shook their heads and gave up tracking. As for the huge holy light barrier blocking them, the priest waved his hand and dissolved it.
However, this was the moment Benjamin was waiting for.
The moment the holy light barrier disappeared, the ice arrows he had stored in his consciousness space for more than ten minutes were released again. The whole scene was just like the beginning, with dense ice arrows hitting the three priests who thought Benjamin had escaped.
"What's going on? He didn't leave?"
"This guy… "
"No, if we continue like this, the crosses on our bodies will be used up."
The priests were helpless. The sudden rain of ice arrows consumed another wave of life-saving crosses, but they had no other option except to let go of their mental strength and try hard to find Benjamin who fired the cold arrows.
But... Benjamin hid it so well, how could they find it
In desperation, a priest could only chant again, and the huge reinforced holy light barrier appeared again to prevent the life-saving crosses on them from being consumed by this wave of ice arrows.
However, the moment the barrier appeared, the rain of ice arrows that was overwhelming just now disappeared without a trace at this moment, as if it was a promise.
Suddenly, there were only three priests with blank faces left in the entire forest. They stood inside the huge holy light barrier, looking at each other with angry and helpless expressions on their faces. There was nothing they could do.
"This method is really cheap." The system couldn't help but sigh, "If you look like this, God will one day strike down with lightning and kill you directly."
Benjamin thought for a while, then suddenly showed a happy face accepting the praise, and nodded in agreement.
