Arcane Journey

Chapter 338 Accidental Discovery
"Stupid spellcaster, do you really think that this broken tentacles can trap me?"

While Bryan was preparing the legendary spell, a cold light suddenly appeared in the blood-red pupils of the struggling half-orc Manrason, and then a thick dark energy gushed out from his body, with a powerful impact, even the ground They were all cracked inch by inch under the shock of this terrifying force.

Accompanied by a roar, the half-orc's already majestic body began to swell, terrifying muscles and ferocious veins emerged, and amidst bursts of crackling, his body was raised at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Countless tentacles tightly wrapped around his body. In the surging terrifying energy, as if seeing something terrifying, they moved away from the half-orc's body like an electric shock, collapsed in the void, and disappeared.

Little by little divine brilliance emerged.

The half-orc's burly and majestic body is wrapped in an almost invisible pale golden divine barrier, and just looking at it gives people an extremely powerful sense of oppression.

If you observe carefully, you can even find that with the sudden elevation of his body, the wound left by Brian has long been sealed by tough muscles. It has been pierced through the heart, but at this moment it looks like an insignificant scar.

"go to hell!!!"

Looking at Brian who was still calmly standing there and casting spells, the half-orc felt angry for no reason. His clear eyes were replaced by crimson red again. He raised his heavy battle ax and slashed fiercely towards the hard ground. go down.

"boom!"

Following Brian's direction, a heavy battle ax the size of a door panel bombarded the ground, and the floor of the hall rippled as if the calm water surface was broken, cracking a deep crack, and then the buildings around Brian collapsed, bringing Dust covered with countless crumbs fell from the ceiling, filling the air with a terrifying smell of broken rocks.

Looking at the results of the battle, the half-orc's blood-red eyes immediately penetrated the diffuse dust and locked on Brian's figure.

In his opinion, this attack of his is enough to interrupt the opponent's prepared spell.

However, when he saw the opponent's safe and sound figure, he immediately showed a stunned expression. Not only did his attack not interrupt the spellcasting, but the spell that the opponent was releasing was about to be ready, so that even the air seemed to be filled with a palpitation. energy of.

After realizing this situation, the face of the half-orc changed slightly. Although he looked alive and well at the moment, he was only using the divine power bestowed by the dark lord as the last support. If the time limit expired, he would immediately fall into a state of extreme weakness , At that time, even a civilian with a pitchfork can kill him.

Without hesitation, he picked up the heavy battle ax and rushed towards Brian.

At this moment, a large piece of pale blue light suddenly appeared in front of the half-orc, blocking his way. Just when he was confused by it, there was a whistling sound, and a dark blue light with the thickness of an adult's thigh The black tail, like a powerful long whip, slammed fiercely on the divine barrier of the half-orc who was caught off guard.

Although he was unscathed in the face of this attack, the powerful impact involved his injuries, causing him to squirt blood from his mouth, and the intense pain rushed straight to his brain, making him almost faint, and his tall and straight body also collapsed. fly out.

With the help of powerful inertia, the half-orc raised the heavy-duty battle axe, and when his body was about to hit the wall, he took over the control of his body in an instant, stepped on the wall with both legs, leaving two cracks and dents, and jumped again. With a leap, he raised his battle ax high, and condescendingly slashed at a dragon skeleton golem that had just sneaked up on him.

"boom!"

Accompanied by an ear-piercing loud noise like heavy metal smashing glass, it emerged in the spacious underground hall, flapped its wings, and soared into the air. The dragon skeleton golem trying to block the way was hard to stop. The majestic force smashed its huge dragon body to the ground like a cannonball.

The moment the dragon skeleton golem's gleaming crystal luster was smashed to the ground, dense cracks appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. The left wing was used as the center of force, and it was chopped down by a heavy axe until only the inner part remained. The skeleton seemed to break apart at any moment.

The half-orc didn't care about appreciating his success, and once again locked on to Brian who was not far away from him. The distance between the two was obviously less than [-] meters, and it could be reached in an instant.

But at this moment, it seemed out of reach for him.

Just as he was about to move, a fierce spiritual energy, like a heavy hammer, hit his mind again, causing his body to suddenly stop, and he froze in place again.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a fist-sized psicrystal with a cat's head, standing on a sharp sword suspended in the air, his black onyx eyes were full of mockery, and at the moment when a psionic light mist floated, countless The sharp swords appeared out of thin air, like a gust of wind and rain, flooding towards the orcs overwhelmingly.

——"Advanced Roaring Technique!"

Sensing the provocative eyes of the psicrystal, the half-orc let out a roar, a wild and incomparable roar rang out, the terrifying sound waves shook the air into ripples enough to shatter hard rocks, and the rain of swords all over the sky was unsurprisingly crushed. All shattered, turned into a little light, and dissipated in the air.

Even Brian was slightly affected by the orc's sonic attack, and instantly activated a trigger technique to protect him from the sonic wave that he had set in advance, resisting it without any risk.

At the same time, with the delay of the dragon skeleton golem and the psicrystal, the legendary spell prepared by Brian was finally fully charged.

With the last incomprehensible but powerful incantation blurted out, the moment his staff pointed at the half-orc, a seemingly invisible aura that contained majestic energy gushed out, and in an instant, the space around the half-orc As if the pause button was pressed, it was frozen in place.

—— "Legendary Spell: Deluxe Dispel Magic!"

A pale golden radiance emerged, like a warm breeze, brushing against the half-orc's body head-on, and the divine shield covering his body immediately melted like ice and snow at a fast speed.

The half-orc's swollen body was also like a leaking ball, shrinking visibly with the naked eye, and even the magic aura flashing on the heavy battle ax in his hand was extinguished in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the half-orc Manrason turned into an extremely weak and crumbling seriously injured person. The blood hole in his chest was like a faucet, and shocking red and black blood spewed out.

Seeing the effect of the legendary spell, Brian nodded in satisfaction.

As he expected, this spell is by no means an ordinary dispel magic, and even compared to the same type of legendary spell, it is not inferior in the slightest.

Because it was given to him directly by the god of spells, Azuth, so that he can easily learn it without spending time, energy, and resources.

The reason for this is naturally inseparable from the powerful power of the true god. After he mastered the legendary spell, he has already noticed that this spell unexpectedly contains a trace of divine power from the mage god.

In this case, facing the barrier opened by the orc and given to him by the dark lord Bane is definitely the best.

After all, only divine power can effectively target divine power.

On the other side, the half-orc, who was instantly beaten back to his original shape, immediately felt severe pain surging like a tide, and his consciousness continued to lose consciousness. The dark adjudicator of the net broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bit the tip of his tongue, allowing the pain to stimulate his senses and restore his composure.

Then, he quickly activated the password of a piece of magic equipment hidden in his chest. This is a one-time life-saving item given to him by Bozor, the elector of the Dark Lord, before he set off from Zhentil Castle. It can help him break any space blockade, Appear in the place you set up in advance.

As the props were activated, the orc, who was weak and about to fall on his back, was suddenly wrapped in a solid and strange black mist, and disappeared into the spacious hall after avoiding Brian's fatal spell.

Seeing the half-orc Manrason who disappeared through the life-saving teleportation spell, Brian's calm and calm expression did not show too many surprises, as if he didn't care that the other party would run away at all.

But this does not mean that he will let the cooked duck fly away.

Brian stood on the spot, meditating slightly, and tracked through psychic teleportation. His mind locked on to the half-orc's position in an instant, and immediately disappeared on the spot through the teleportation spell.

Under the bleak moonlight, what appeared in front of the half-orc Manrathon was a desolate and dilapidated ruin in the Valley of Shadows.

This is the place where Elminster, the sage of Shadow Valley, once lived. After he was attacked by the assassins of Shadow City, his tower was destroyed by the explosion and turned into ruins, leaving only the charred base of the tower, and some Crushed and blackened stones.

The extremely weak half-orc was panting violently, and the blood in his chest was still gurgling uncontrollably, but he didn't care, he just leaned on the battle ax with difficulty, stood up, straightened his waist, and looked around vigilantly. For a short moment around, the dark space was slightly distorted, and then a light blue teleportation light suddenly appeared.

Seeing this situation, the dark adjudicator of the dark intelligence network immediately guessed based on his rich combat experience that this is definitely the caster who traced here through some kind of spell.

After confirming that it was correct, not only did the half-orc not panic, but a hint of joy appeared in his fierce eyes.

He chose this place for the life-saving props, not at random, but after careful consideration.

After all, there was a terrible battle here.

At the beginning, when the sage of Shadow Valley used silver fire to attack the Supreme King Telamante in the City of Shadows, it was because Telamante was a ghost creature transformed from the energy of the Lost Lady through the Shadow Demon Web, and the Silver Fire represented the essence of the Magic Web. energy of.

The big bang produced by the meeting of these two substances directly opened a gap in the Bator Nine Hell. Although the space here has been forcibly closed from the inside of Bator Hell by Elminster, the consequences caused the outside world to be destroyed. It has not been completely repaired, causing any teleportation spells to be here, there will be delays ranging from time to time.

Seeing the distorted teleportation circle gradually appearing in his sight, the half-orc's mouth unconsciously sneered, and he forcibly raised his spirits, clenched the battle ax in his hand.

The moment Brian's figure appeared at an abnormal speed, the half-orc glared angrily, let out a hoarse roar, and raised his giant ax to meet him without hesitation.

In the underground hall of Cragg Castle, he thought of this method the moment he knew that he could not defeat the spellcaster, so after being hit by the legendary spell, he deliberately showed a weak state on the verge of death.

In fact, as a devout believer of the Dark Lord, in addition to being able to release the divine barrier to protect himself, he also hides another divine power, and this power brings powerful attack power.

Accompanied by the roaring sound of piercing through the air, the orc's heavy battle ax suddenly burst into a golden radiance representing divine power, spreading towards the surroundings as if mixed with a destructive power.

The heavy-duty battle ax wrapped in light golden brilliance whizzed out, carrying a powerful force, just like this condescendingly slashed on Brian's body who had just escaped from the distorted space and emerged from the teleportation circle.

Following the hit of the attack, seeing the temporary defensive barriers erected by the enemy shattered layer by layer under his powerful attack, the half-orc just smiled at the corner of his mouth, and froze on his face again.

At this moment, his mood was as if he fell directly from heaven to hell without any hindrance.

"It turned out to be simulacrum!!!"

Watching the enemy's body distort and dissipate like solid energy, exuding hot and violent energy, the eyes of the dark adjudicator of the dark intelligence network were filled with glory of victory, and were instantly replaced by fear and despair, making him unable to restrain himself from yelling out loud, "I fucking..."

However, before he could finish his words, he triggered the attack spell of simulacra, and was engulfed by the roaring flames. The bright flames reflected a large cloud of fire around the ruined tower.

On the other side, seeing the reminder of gaining experience, a smile unconsciously floated on the corner of Brian's mouth. Tricks like half-orcs are already outdated for him.

In the past, he not only experienced many unlucky times in the game, but was even very good at this method.

Therefore, at the moment when the half-orc escaped, he thought almost out of conditioned reflex that there was definitely a fraud in it, so he didn't rush to catch up, but instead created a clone of himself through simulacra and blessed it with attack spells. After that, let it teleport over.

Obviously, this dark adjudicator of the dark trade network really saved his hand. If he was really careless because of this, he might overturn on the spot.

After the battle was over, Brian waved his hand and put away the psicrystal who was still chattering away and the dragon skeleton golem that looked like it was about to be scrapped.

With his current ability, the strength of the Dragon Skeleton Golem can no longer keep up with his footsteps. When there is enough time, he must find a way to refit it.

With the death of the Dark Judge, Brian's task of exploring the underground of the castle became much smoother. In ten minutes, he found the secret room where Manrazon lived.

Two oil lamps and two braziers warm this luxurious room. In the lower left corner of the room is a four-legged bed with a brazier at the foot of the bed, an oil lamp and a bedside table. In this book - "How to Develop the Cause of Faith under the Guidance of the Great, Glorious and Correct Bane", in the upper left corner is a very luxurious wardrobe made of Zalanta wood.

In the center on the right side of the room is a writing desk with another oil lamp on it.

Quill pens, ink bottles, sealing clay, and countless books and parchments were scattered on the table, which recorded the supply status of Shadow Valley, letters from high priests, equipment requirements, reinforcement plans, etc...

On the left side of the desk is an exquisite bookshelf with a glass door. The books here should all be snatched from Shadow Valley. After sorting them carefully, Brian suddenly found an unexpected article in a thin book. information.

The information recorded above made him very interested: 1358DR in the valley calendar, the year of turmoil, which is also the year of the famous catastrophe of the saints.

On an alternate Prime Material Plane world called 'Earth'.

An adventurer code-named 'N' collected all kinds of knowledge and deeds from the Faerun continent from the sage Elminster in the Valley of Shadows, and finally disappeared.

Seeing this news, Brian was so startled that he almost dropped the book on the ground.

If there is no mistake in his memory, the producer of the high-tech game that he played in the real world, which is said to have crossed the era, seems to have the code name of the other party as 'N'.

This is obviously no coincidence.

"It seems that only Elminster knows about this matter." Brian whispered to himself, and put away all the books and precious items in the room.

He didn't waste any more time, kept this matter in his heart, and began to search for the dungeon where Azara was held.
