Arcane Journey

Chapter 151 War Shaper

The ghost mage nodded slightly to Commander Gallon, then squinted his eyes and looked at the distant mountain.

At this moment, he has already felt the strange shielding energy through magic.

If he wanted, he could release a high-ring attack spell at any time to level that mountain and destroy the energy source.

But he didn't intend to do that.

Because he is very interested in this weird magic circle and the energy it emits, and intends to get it in its entirety.

In this case, wait until the battle is over, deduce it, and dedicate it to Hajhorna, the Hand of the High King, in exchange for a lot of rewards and arcane knowledge at the Gray Stone Tower.

He believed that the Hand of the High King would be interested in this magic circle.

Then, he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately detected the surrounding situation through scrying spells.

When he sensed that there were no dimensional anchors or magic circles that blocked the space nearby, as well as the protection of powerful spellcasters, he couldn't help showing a smile, as if the magic circle was within reach.

Afterwards, he recited a few strings of mantras without hesitation, and disappeared under the light of the magic circle.

In order to occupy the magic circle privately, he did not bring any subordinates, but chose to go alone.

It was discovered so quickly!

Sensing a palpitating magical energy, Moon Elf mage Ru Yin's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.

Then, her gaze returned to calm, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up into a slight smile: "It seems that the lord's guess is right. The spell casters in the City of Shadows really focus on personal interests."

Not daring to waste time, she took out an energy gem that had been prepared for a long time, and quickly activated it.

The moment the ghost mage appeared from the teleportation circle, he was about to take out the magic scroll and staff, and clean up the enemies guarding the circle as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, he felt a dense spatial turbulence floating in the air around him, rushing towards him like a raging wind.

Before the turbulent current as sharp as a blade hit him, he felt the stabbing pain on his face as if countless sharp blades had been slashed across it.

"Oops!"

Realizing the danger, the expression of the ghost mage suddenly changed, and he activated the spell shield of the trigger technique and the teleportation spell on the magic jewelry without hesitation, preparing to run away.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he happened to notice an elf mage not far away, pointing at him with a slender finger.

——"Dimensional Anchor!"

A green ray galloped towards, hitting the Shade mage's body, abruptly stopping his attempt to escape through the teleportation spell.

For a moment.

There are countless ways to release the "Dimensional Anchor" in the mind of the ghost mage, but time did not give him this opportunity.

He had just activated the dispel magic on the ring, and was about to use the energy of the Shadow Demon Web to break the control of the "Dimensional Anchor".

Unfortunately it was too late.

The body of the ghost mage has been involved in the turbulence of space, mercilessly tearing apart his automatically activated protective spells, smashing him to pieces.

Seeing the enemies eliminated by the dimensional trap, Ru Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was still a bit inconceivable for her to see a fourth-order paragon spellcaster die in front of her eyes.

In fact, what made her even more unbelievable was that this young lord was not only extremely experienced and skillful in arranging the magic circle, but he was also able to grasp the psychology of the ghost mages clearly.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, they also made other preparations besides the dimensional trap.

The moon elf mage withdrew his wandering thoughts, arranged dimensional banning spells around him, and signaled his companions to be more vigilant.

At least until the end of the battle, they must guard the obsidian spire that restricts the construction of golems.

the other side of the battlefield.

As the battle became more and more stalemate, even the purple dragon knights, known for their strict discipline, were divided into small pieces by the army of the city of ghosts, relying on small groups of about five people to fight on their own.

In this case, in order to prevent accidental injury, the casters of both sides can only provide assistance with single-point spells or control spells.

Although the mages in the City of Shadows were disrupted by the Temple Knights, Brian also encountered a similar situation.

A group of shadow guard assassins managed to reach their camp with the help of the deep darkness technique.

However, the battle mages and priests, who were clearly far superior in quality and strength to the enemy, did not cause riots as expected.

Faced with this crisis, they calmly put away their holy emblems or staffs, and took out their sharp swords or long knives.

Most of the weapons drawn out by the priests of the Church of the God of Knowledge are heavy weapons such as flails, maces, and maces.

After all, this is still a world dominated by gods, and the priests who have the backing of the gods are still very powerful under the legendary realm.

Perhaps because of the inconvenience of wearing armor, the wizard may affect the success rate of arcane spell release.

But priests have never had such restrictions, and they have many powerful buff spells in their list of magic spells.

This has caused many priests to like to focus on melee combat. In the process of practicing divine arts, they will also choose to constantly exercise their melee skills.

The moment the Shadow Guard Assassin appeared, the spellcasters methodically distanced themselves from him, and auras of auras mixed with magic and divine arts emerged.

Gain spells that increase attributes and damage, such as the power of the cow, the grace of the cat, and the heroism, were quickly activated by various magic tools and holy symbols, and they fought with the shadow guard assassins.

A cloud of black mist floated in the air.

It suddenly turned into a figure holding a rapier, and flashed past behind a female priest in a white robe, tearing a gap in her back from top to bottom.

However, what made the Shadow Guard Assassin unbelievable was that a bright silver full body armor appeared inside the loose robe that was cut open.

His weapon didn't even leave a scratch on the armor, and the accompanying shadow energy was completely dispelled by the divine magic aura.

——"Righteousness is like a rainbow!"

The female priest who reacted in a timely manner activated the buff magic on the holy emblem, and her petite body became taller and taller than the ogre at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She turned around abruptly, and with the inertia of turning around, she swung the head-sized meteor hammer on the flail, and fiercely swept the head of the shadow guard assassin, smashing him to pieces like a broken watermelon.

In a short fight, these priests and battle mages who are proficient in melee combat actually defeated the shadow guard assassins who were sneaking up.

The female priest blessed with "righteousness like a rainbow" even rushed to the black guards who were fighting with the purple dragon guards after killing three shadow guard assassins in a row, fighting in a group.

Meanwhile, Brian is also being targeted by a shadow guard assassin.

It seems that he knew his true identity, or that in the magic confrontation just now, his record was so good that the one who attacked him turned out to be an assassin with exemplary strength.

Facing the tricky enemy, his figure retreated one after another, keeping a distance from him.

Masters of shadow and steel, the Swordmages of the City of Shade combine the combat skills of Netherese warriors with the arcane magic of wizards.

Darkness, magic, and the subtle arts of the Shadow Lords blend into their blades to create the perfect art of assassination.

Although he had also fought against a fourth-tier Shadow Guard Assassin, Krisanna, but under the premise that he was well prepared, the other party couldn't even display any Shadow Guard Assassin's ability.

This time is different. The opponent Brian faces can use various shadow abilities without any scruples.

Accompanied by the surprise attack of the shadow guard assassins, the shadow condensed into a solid form on Bryan's flanks, turning into two identical assassins whose faces were completely covered by shadows, attacking him at the same time.

Facing Shadow Guard Assassin's signature skill "Assassin's Shadow", Brian has no fear on his face.

While activating his protective barrier, he concentrated his thoughts and released the first level of psionic energy "Mind Blank" to strengthen his will save.

Two identical Shadow Guard Assassins approached with dizzying thrusts, and were successfully blocked by the protective barrier as expected.

Immediately afterwards, Brian was deeply impressed by a chilly shadow energy penetrating into his mind, intending to forcibly take over control of his body.

This is another signature skill of the Shadowguard Assassin, "Shadow of Mind". If the determination of will is successful, it will affect the enemy's mind through shadow energy, controlling him like a puppet.

As a psion, this kind of pediatric mind control method is not worth mentioning in front of Brian.

——"Psychic explosion!"

After succeeding in the will saving throw, he suddenly looked at the shadow guard assassin's real body.

An almost invisible ripple flashed across the air, and quickly floated over the shadow guard assassin's body.

In an instant!

The Shadow Guard Assassin whose face was shrouded in black mist felt a bang in his head, making him freeze in place for a short time.

At the same time, Bryan's ready-to-go astral construct flowed like a liquid, emitting a dazzling light when he stabbed.

As soon as the shadow guard assassin recovered from the shock, he was pierced through the chest by a sword and died.

A shadow guard assassin whose strength had reached the fourth level was killed by Brian just like that.

The whole process seemed easy and freehand, but in fact it was the result of his prediction in advance.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to kill him in the short gap created by the ability of "psychic blast", which is enough to catch the enemy by surprise.

This is the advantage of psionic professionals.

Compared with common spellcasters, if they don't do their homework in advance, the abilities released by psionic professionals can always produce unexpected effects inadvertently.

So he had already decided that when the war here was over, he must go to Silvermoon City to complete and strengthen his psychic profession.

At this moment, he noticed that Marek, the captain of the Battle Mage, had finally broken through the dimensional imprisonment around him, and was about to make a move.

He whispered a series of incantations, his frail body disappeared instantly, and appeared prominently in the center of the Shadow City camp, surrounded by a group of dark guards and shadow mages.

Immediately afterwards, his body underwent tremendous changes in an instant.

—— "Lightning transformation!"

——"Multiple transformations!"

Accompanied by a blinding light flashing out, a low, rough and loud sound pierced through the din of the melee and soared straight into the sky.

A quadruped reptile Triceratops with dark gray skin covered with rough scales and about 15 meters in length appeared in front of the ghost man out of thin air.

In the material world, dinosaurs belong to a kind of fearsome lizard-like creatures.

It is said that in ancient times, they may have some kind of origin with real dragons.

But this is just the speculation of some scholars who like to study the history of biological evolution.

Because no one has discovered that they have returned to their ancestors, or awakened the ability to cast spells.

Just judging from their sharp teeth and ferocious living habits similar to real dragons, the conclusions judged are not convincing at all.

But the Triceratops transformed from a war shaper in front of him is obviously different from ordinary dinosaurs.

Because war shapers are proficient in more than transformation ability, transformation ability can be mastered by any wizard or druid, this is not a difficult spell.

However, for ordinary transformation techniques, it is usually what the creature you need to transform is what it is.

Although the forms they transform will inherit most of the characteristics of the original creatures, they are only weak but not strong, and it is impossible for green to be better than blue.

The war shapers are different. They think that the ordinary transformation technique is too limited, so they have researched and evolved new weapons and armors based on the original transformation technique.

That is to say, when Marek activated the lightning transformation feature and turned into the original dinosaur Triceratops, he activated multiple transformations, allowing Triceratops to gain additional huge claws and armor-like skin on the basis of the original , or some kind of shockingly powerful ability.

This can be seen from the strong muscle mass and dark gray scales as hard as steel all over the Triceratops.

I saw the battle mage whose body shape turned into a primitive dinosaur in an instant, like a hero who flashed and jumped in the game, catching everyone around him by surprise.

With a loud roar, the mighty and thick tail of the Triceratops slammed down, and a black guard who couldn't dodge was instantly smashed into a meatloaf.

The heavy footsteps echoed on the battlefield, like a triceratops of a heavy semi-trailer truck, the extremely strong muscles on its body were full of explosive power.

At this moment, no one can ignore the terrifying power on his body.

"Moo!"

The deep and rough roar sounded again.

The huge humanized pupils of the Triceratops locked onto the surrounding enemies, and a cold killing intent floated across them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!."

It moved its thick and powerful limbs rapidly, the ground trembled violently, and launched a violent charge.

The ghost mages looked at the behemoth in front of them, and their expressions became very ugly. The mages who reacted in time quickly released teleportation spells to avoid its edge.

The spellcasters farther away also suppressed the shock in their hearts, and tried to throw attack or control spells continuously, trying to stop this giant war beast.

- "Fossils are mud!"

——"Stone Wall!"

——"The Flames of Darkness!"

——"Phantom Killer!"

——"Rainbow Ray!"

…………

In an instant, following the charge of the Triceratops, overwhelming spells bombarded him, and even a few high-level spellcasters threw "advanced dispelling magic" in an attempt to release the transformation state.

However, these hastily released spells are like scratching an itch in the face of the armor-like skin and huge body of the Triceratops after it has obviously undergone "multiple transformations", and it is difficult to cause substantial damage at all.

——"Splitting Technique!"

——"Dissociation Technique!"

——"A Finger of Death!"

After releasing their spells, several powerful third-tier mages found that they also failed to cause obvious damage.

With its majestic body, the Triceratops opened its beak-like mouth, and spewed out a large cloud of shocking breath like thick fog, covering all the enemies in front of it that could not avoid it, making their bodies stiff and difficult to move.

Immediately afterwards, its huge body was like a heavy-duty truck with the gas pedal pressed to the bottom, rushing violently into the enemy group.

The two two-meter-long horns on the Triceratops' forehead, its thick and powerful tail, and its limbs are all strengthened with magical weapons.

Every time it strikes, it is accompanied by the terrified screams and wailing of the enemy.

For a while, even the ghost mages couldn't do anything about it.

Because those spellcasters who tried to attack Triceratops with high-level powerful spells, under the interference of the enemy, did not have enough time to cast spells quietly.

"boom!"

On the other side, the dark guard Garen used all his strength to slash with a sword, and finally killed this difficult earth elemental elder.

Then, he locked his eyes on the rampaging Triceratops, leaped forward, raised his huge sword above his head, and slashed down on the Triceratops.

"Crack!"

The moment the powerful blow hit the bone shield between the Triceratops' neck, it shattered.

At the same time, a gully-like wound was left on the forehead of the Triceratops, and scarlet blood poured down like rain.

Obviously, the war shaper's transformation this time focused on magic resistance, and it became relatively weak in the face of physical attacks from legendary powerhouses.

The Triceratops roared angrily, and with its two horns, it flew out the sneaking black guards, turned around and ran, and killed the enemies behind it who seemed to be bullying.

The black guard Garen was about to raise his sword to give chase, when the stone giant Hegram had finished preparing his spell, and rows of thick stone walls completely separated him from the Triceratops.

Seeing this situation, Brian immediately signaled the old swordsman Balleris and the leader of the Purple Dragon Knight, Obert, to go with him to stop the legendary black guard.

Although the strength of these two people is at the fourth-tier model, they have the black guard's sworn enemy, the paladin, in their profession.

Especially Balleris, his dark power not only restrains the black guard, but also has a strong resistance to the abilities of this class, perfectly explaining what it means: only darkness knows how to fight against darkness.

He believed that with the tacit cooperation of these two paladins, even if he couldn't take down this legendary professional, he could hold him back for a long time.

After all, with the Triceratops and Temple Knight breaking through into the enemy at this moment, he already had the absolute upper hand.

At this time, the easiest way to end this battle as soon as possible is to kill their commander.

——"Psionic arbitrary door!"

With a thought of Brian, a portal appeared out of thin air, and the three disappeared in place at the same time.

——"Storm of Vengeance!"

Balleris' attack was launched first, and at the moment when the black guard was about to cross the stone wall, the lightsaber exuding dark energy pointed sharply in his hand.

"boom!"

A vertical pillar of dark light, accompanied by a deafening roar, descended from the sky and precisely enveloped the body of the black guard Garen.

Some soldiers and ghost mages who were trying to support the commander were also stopped by the Patriarch Tysonde, the priests and the purple dragon knight Alek who arrived quickly, making room for Brian and others to have a short and uninterrupted time space.

——"Five-ring spell: rainbow ray!"

——"Arcane Twins!"

Brian took this opportunity to point his staff, and two rays of dazzling color shot out from his staff, hitting the black guard who escaped from the storm of revenge in the blink of an eye.

——"Supernatural Ability: Smash Evil!"

Oubert roared angrily and raised his two-handed giant sword high, the surrounding sacred aura gathered around him like a real silk thread, as dazzling as a corona halo.

Faced with this blow, even the dark guards whose strength had reached the legendary realm would not dare to neglect.

While pulling away and pushing away, he shook his head violently, trying to get rid of the dizzy effect of the "Rainbow Ray".

——"Supernatural Ability: Breaking the Good and Slashing!"

At the same time, the black guard let out a low cry, and held his sword to face the Purple Dragon Knight Oberth who used "Evil Breaking Slash".

"Breaking Good Slash" and "Breaking Evil Slash" are corresponding massively destructive combat skills, both of which can cause powerful damage when striking each other.

"boom!"

The two two-handed giant swords collided together, sparking dazzling sparks.

Purple Dragon Knight Oberth was instantly sent flying, and blood spurted out from his mouth.

The black guard Garen also took two steps back before stopping the damage from the attack.

Just when Brian was about to launch an attack at the same time as Balleris, the sand not far away suddenly rose, and a huge dragon skeleton broke out of the ground and flew high into the sky.

Accompanied by a loud roar.

Most people with low will attributes were shaken by the Longwei that was transmitted to the spiritual level, and their whole bodies were limp and weak, trembling and crawling on the ground.

Brian also turned pale, almost kneeling on the ground.

If it weren't for his concentration level being too high, he might even suffer backlash from spell failure.

He quickly looked up at the new enemy that appeared in the sky.

"I am Desert Storm Krizka!" The giant dragon skeleton flying in the sky overlooked everyone on the ground with pupils burning with ice blue light, roaring arrogantly:
"Listen to me, all of you, surrender to Krizka, otherwise, get ready to face the roar of the desert storm!"
