Chapter 132 Dismembering the Red Dragon (Part 1)
The blade cut along the tendon, and Sauron actually had an unusually smooth feeling.
That feeling was like chopping wood with a knife. In the past, he used to hold it until it cut horizontally, which required quite strong force. But now he is chopping vertically, with the force of gravity and inertia mixed with the grain trajectory of the wood itself. Originally, this knife stabbed three inches into the red dragon's body and then became powerless, but now Sauron penetrated nearly a foot deep, and at the same time opened a nearly three-inch cross-section wound. In the simplest and most intuitive way, Sauron almost cut off a piece of meat weighing about a hundred pounds from the red dragon's abdomen.
Just one knife!
The red dragon let out an extremely painful low growl, which was even more painful than resisting a round of magic attacks from the Northland Witch.
Spiritual spells cannot control the dragon's will, and damage spells are hard to break through the protection of the dragon scales. Since the destruction of the Arcane Empire, people have brought up the theory of elemental tides more than once, and cited the changes of a large number of pure-blood dragons to prove the influence of elemental tides on other creatures. The long lifespan of dragons can last for thousands of years, and some of them have lived for quite a long time, and they can clearly see the greater influence of these thousands of years on their power.
This theory finally points to about three to five hundred years later, the power of the dragon will reach the peak of the elemental tide.
Some suspect this will lead to the resurgence of Dragon Island.
………………
The Witch's formation was completely messed up.
They were not descended from the main body, and probably only retained about 80% of their strength. Both the casting level and the strength of spells are much lower than the strength of the main body. The wizard's projection technique can retain about 70% of its strength. Although the soul projection is more powerful, it can only retain about 80%. It is said that the Arcane Empire used to have a powerful spell called 'Simulation', which can retain more than 90% of its combat power, but this spell has been lost for a long time.
After the destruction of the Arcane Empire, many spells lost their inheritance. Especially spells from other planes.
The decline in the strength of a half-wizard wizard like Sauron is not very obvious, because he doesn't have many spell slots, that is, he can only throw BIUBIUBIU's Arcane Missile. And the rogue professional soul projection does not reduce the attribute, but slightly affects the basic skills of all aspects. Therefore, entering the astral world has the least impact on him. In the state of soul projection, he retains most of the attribute points, and it just so happens that Sauron's combat power is largely supported by attributes.
The howling wind hit from behind!
When Sauron broke the dragon scale with a single knife, it caused a lot of damage to the red dragon. The long and narrow dragon tail also raised in mid-air, and then yanked towards him.
Sauron didn't dare to resist and could only retreat quickly with his knife. When he pulled out the scimitar, a large amount of dragon's blood spattered from the wound.
The scalding dragon's blood fell on Sauron's body. The red dragon's blood was hotter than the white dragon's, as if boiling water, which actually caused slight burns to Sauron. This kind of injury would not affect Sauron's combat effectiveness, but it made him tremble slightly. He could only rely on his strong agility and flexibility to twist his body almost in half to dodge, and then he flew up and landed on the side of the red dragon. Because the tail was raised, he saw a huge chrysanthemum, and he had to say that the excretory organs of the dragon were not much different from other creatures.
But here should be one of the few vital points without dragon scale protection!
The dung of the dragon is a very useful field item, which can disperse other field monsters, preventing them from approaching and attacking traveling adventurers easily.
So since there is dragon dung. Then they also have excretory organs.
For any creature, this position is a critical point, and it is usually protected by the dragon's tail, basically there is no chance of attacking. But now the red dragon just swept towards Sauron's body with a sweeping dragon tail. Because there was a defensive hole for about a second and a half. Sauron, who never talked about fair methods, saw the enemy exposed the protective area without dragon scales. Immediately it was drawn and stabbed in.
It wasn't until the scimitar subconsciously pierced almost all of it in that he realized that the position of his attack was quite special.
Damn it!
This red dragon is actually a female!
The gender of the enemy did not affect Sauron's fighting consciousness. When the red dragon let out a terrifying mournful roar, it turned its head and sprayed dragon breath towards his body at the same time. Sauron has escaped into the shadows again, and then activated the new ability of the Shadow Warrior [Shadow Leap]. This is a general ability of rogues, but it takes a shadow dancer to master it earlier, and a purebred thief may have to be around the legendary level to master it. This is a very important pre-skill, and it is the most important escape and hunting skill for rogues.
It's a bit different from [Shadow Shuttle].
"Shadow Jumping [Supernatural Ability]: As their connection with the shadow plane becomes closer and closer, rogues begin to master the mysterious shadow jumping ability. They can shuttle and jump in the shadows, as if it is any door spell mastered by a wizard Generally, this shadow jumping ability does not need to enter the stealth state. As long as the rogue is in the shadows, the rogue can perform shadow jumping. This jumping distance is up to 100 meters, but it can be divided into any number of times. Before mastering the special advanced ability, The limit for shadows to jump in one day is 100 meters."
[Remarks: This ability can be used ten times, jumping a distance of 10 meters each time, or jumping once, jumping a distance of 100 meters at a time. 】
This is the legendary [Shadow Jump]!
A more flexible and useful ability than Shadow Shuttle, it doesn't need to enter the stealth state, it only needs to be in the shadows.
Then you can launch a jumping ability similar to any door, and you are immune to spell locks like dimensional anchors.
However, this supernatural ability has a weakness, that is, its limit distance is 100 meters. Unless you master a very special special ability, it can only jump 100 meters at most. From this point of view, [Shadow Jump] is completely inferior to the legendary skill [Shadow Step], because the latter has a longer distance, greater freedom and stronger lethality. In fact, the consideration that kept Sauron in his experience was whether he should increase the professional level of the rogue, or increase the professional level of the wizard.
One is the current combat effectiveness, and the other is the future combat potential!
boom!
Intense flames struck like an explosion.
Sauron only jumped about fifteen meters away, and [Shadow Leap] could only cross within the shadows he could see. The strength above the legend can feel the invisible shadow. Sauron's emaciated figure disappeared in the shadows, and then appeared in the shadows. In this split second, he completely avoided the red dragon's breath. In fact, the distance between rogues and wizards has been gradually narrowing since they entered high ranks, otherwise they would not be second only to Juggernauts. A professional who has the ability to kill and assassinate wizards with one blow.
Sauron relied on many supernatural abilities to deal with wizards back then.
The changes on the battlefield are changing rapidly!
The situation of the Witches of the North seems to be a little bit bad. The githyanki's tactics are to keep dispelling the magic, and then rely on the psychic warrior to attack the enemy. This caused a big trouble for the witches of the Northland, that is, if they did not continuously bless the defensive energy field, they would be easily exposed to the attack range of the psychic warrior. But once the defensive spells are continuously added, they fall into a passive war of attrition, because the spell slots are always used up.
The fragile body of the wizard is destined to be difficult to last for a long time without the blessing of the AT force field!
Because those who attacked them were all advanced fighters from the star realm.
clang!
A strange figure appeared out of thin air. Immediately, he swung the Gith silver blade and slashed at a Northland witch who had exhausted her defensive spells. The wizard memorizes at most one-third of the defensive spells, so when her defensive spells are used up, she can only counterattack and throw a large number of attack control spells in succession, killing the githyanki in front of her. Not a lot. But without the protection of the energy force field, her existence is also quite fragile. Become the target of many psychic warriors.
Gith's silver blade radiated a silver cold light, directly piercing the heart of the Northland Witch!
Dang bang block!
Something unexpected happened.
The Northern Witch, who had almost exhausted all her defensive spells, suddenly seemed to trigger some unexpected spell, and then waved her staff to block the spiritual warrior in front of her.
Strength, agility, reflexes.
No matter from which point of view. It is almost impossible for the witches of the Northland to block the attacks of advanced fighters.
But she did block it.
——"Tan Sen Transfiguration!"
The spiritual warrior in front of him seemed to realize something, but it was already a bit late.
The Northern Witch, who looked very delicate in front of him, swung her staff directly. One of his arms was broken on the spot, and then the staff swung horizontally and hit him on the head. The scene was simply horrible, and it could be judged at a glance that the witch's strength had reached about 20 points, because it almost smashed the opponent's skull. Everyone who saw it couldn't help but frown. At the same time, Sauron, who accidentally saw this scene, was suddenly surprised.
"Tan Sen Transfiguration?!"
Sauron rolled to avoid the range of the dragon's breath, and murmured: "Unexpectedly, there are battle wizards who are proficient in transfiguration among the witches of the Northland!"
Battle wizard.
A special school of spellcasters.
They mainly focus their learning spells on transforming spells. For example, learning Transfiguration at a lower level can transform into creatures such as animals, spiders, pterosaurs, etc., and learning Tansen Transfiguration at a higher level can approach The combat effectiveness of fighters of the same level. In the future, they can also learn various characteristic transformation spells, as well as special spells in legendary spells that can transform into giants, golems, demons and other creatures.
This is a very rare wizarding genre!
Especially after the destruction of the Arcane Empire, there are fewer and fewer wizards who master high-level transformation spells.
