While the bone dragon was still some distance away from them, Benjamin glanced at the water elemental elf in his consciousness space.
After being severely slapped on the tail, the elf was in poor condition and could only hide in the consciousness space and heal himself by absorbing water elements. But what is comforting is that it heals very quickly, and it seems to have recovered more than half of it at this moment.
Once the bone dragon catches up, he can let the water elemental elf delay for a while, right
After being strengthened by inexplicable power, Benjamin was not sure how powerful the bone dragon had become, and whether the water elemental elf could hold on, so he could only hope in his heart.
"Actually, if you get rid of these mages, activate the fastest speed by yourself, and use the healing rain to interfere with the enemy's pursuit, you will basically not be caught up by the bone dragon." The system suddenly said, "And Take them flying, and it is estimated that if you run away for at most an hour, the bone dragon will be within thirty meters."
"...Don't think about it, there's no way I can leave them and escape on my own."
"Then good luck to you."
Throwing this sentence slightly sarcastically, the system also shut up, leaving only Benjamin with a frown in the air and a few nervous mages following him.
Benjamin still used elemental command·healing from time to time. Whenever the raindrops fall on the bone dragon's head, its speed will always slow down for a few seconds, adding a little more hope to their hearts.
However, they began to feel more and more aggrieved by this powerless situation.
"...Mage Laila, what are you holding in your hand?" Suddenly, the male mage turned his head while flying, looked at Laila, who had been silent, and shouted in confusion.
Laila raised her head, spread her hands, and said, "It's the skull fragments of those lichs."
"What are you..."
"There must be some special reason why these undead can produce that kind of force field that restrains magic." Laila stared at the dirty fragment in her hand and said, "If we can find it, maybe we can change it." The current situation!”
Hearing this, the other mages were stunned.
"Are you going to... start researching while escaping?"
Laila nodded, took out a few more glass test tubes from her backpack, and said, "I have participated in the research of the undead team before, and I have learned a little from several teachers. I can give it a try."
The mages opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.
Flying is indeed not such a mind-consuming magic, not to mention that with Benjamin taking it, they hardly need to work hard to control it. But material research...especially an extremely complex subject like the secret of the undead, takes a lot of energy.
In fact, being able to participate in the undead exploration team, each of them is not only proficient in dark element magic, but also has some understanding of the academy's undead research. They will conduct on-site inspections of the habits of the undead, and they have also conducted many experiments on the unknown energy extracted from the wreckage.
So Laila's words moved them.
"...I'm here to help, too." The male mage gritted his teeth and said. He took out a piece of Lich remains from the material box. He used magic to hold an alchemy pot, and while flying at high speed, he lit a fire in the pot, trying to maintain its balance.
Other mages also forcibly calmed down and entered a research state. They discussed the composition and structure of the lich's remains, took out various experimental potions, put them into the pot together with the lich's remains, and began to refine them carefully.
This is a somewhat magical picture.
Benjamin flew at the front, using the healing rain to interfere with the bone dragon, while running away with his life. Behind him was Miles lying dead on the flying plank, as well as several mages who were conducting research while running for their lives.
Although they seemed to be in a hurry, they soon took out a few wooden boards and put them together into a simple experimental table. They placed all kinds of equipment on it and used magic to maintain the balance. Some people were responsible for preparing potions, some were responsible for experimental operations, and some were responsible for recording data... The whole process was carried out at the same time as the hasty escape. There was a strong sense of dissonance, but somehow, it was still possible. Quite presentable.
"... Niubi."
Listening to the increasingly heated discussion, Benjamin couldn't help but look at them a few more times, showing an expression of admiration.
What kind of monsters did his academy produce
However, Benjamin did not dare to put all his hope in them. Undead is a too profound subject, and may even involve many plane rules. It is difficult for them to study anything in just a few dozen minutes.
He decided to deal with the Bone Dragon himself.
"The Deep Sea Realm and the Coming of Water are activated at the same time. There should be some unusual reactions, right?" Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly asked in his heart.
"Maybe."
"If I activate both at the same time, plus the water elemental elf, even if I face the bone dragon head-on, I should be able to hold it off for a while, right?"
After hearing this, the system was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Do you want to... run away with them separately?"
Benjamin nodded and said in his heart: "There is no doubt that if we separate, Bone Dragon's target will most likely be on me. I am still in the state of nothingness and have so many trump cards, so self-protection will definitely not be a problem. And. As long as they escape towards the ghost abyss and escape from the world of the dead, they should be completely safe."
-The spirit of bones seems to be very persistent in the rules. It is angry that the living have entered the realm of the dead. As a dead person, it will definitely not leave the world of the dead for even a moment.
Therefore, Benjamin feels that the feasibility of this plan is quite high.
"It's really amazing. What a selfless and great feat. I want to shed a few crocodile tears for you." The system said indifferently, "However, I must remind you that the enemy has gathered the power of the entire undead world. What did you say? Self-protection is definitely not a problem, isn’t it a bit too arrogant?”
"...You think I can't hold on for ten minutes?"
"That's too much to say." The system replied without any ups and downs, "Just half a minute, it's a little bit of respect from me after we've been together for so long."
“…”
Benjamin was speechless and glanced at the bone dragon behind him again. From the beginning to now, the distance between it and them has been at least twenty meters, and it is still getting shorter. The pressure on Benjamin's shoulders is also getting bigger and bigger.
If the Bone Dragon really becomes as strong as the system says...
Suddenly, he shook his head vigorously to get rid of these thoughts. Time was running out and there was no time to think about so much. He suddenly waved to a few mages, interrupting their discussion about "what that lich might have been before he was alive."
"We'd better run away separately." He said solemnly, "That bone dragon is mainly coming for me, so he shouldn't care about you. Just take Miles and run away. Don't worry about me. I'll do it myself." There are ways to save your life.”
