$1088 Hunter
The moment the cyan wind blade appeared, the middle-aged wizard Elliot who led the mission was convinced, because the strength and color of the wind blade meant that the releaser was only a second-level wizard at best. apprentice.
The protective force field released by the old woman during the previous attack had reached the level of a second-level wizard, and he almost made him retreat with his people.
If the old woman hadn't launched a counterattack after resisting the first round of attacks and instead just defended herself, he would never have faced a guy who surpassed his strength in a dangerous area like the Poisonous Locust Ant Swamp, let alone used this method. A tactic of attrition for siege.
When he took on the mission before, it was because the reward was quite generous that he came with four knight-level guards at once. Before spending three days entering the core area of the poisonous locust ant swamp, he However, he wanted to turn back several times because the poisonous fog here and the flying poisonous locust ant swarms that could gather at any time could kill him here.
It's so embarrassing that I have been blinded by the protective force field released by this old woman...
Elliot felt his face burning as he thought about this, and he was secretly glad that he didn't go with another group of people on this mission. The guards around him were just simple knights, but they couldn't rely on visual effects alone. He makes judgments on strength, so his overly cautious behavior will not make him a laughing stock after completing the mission.
But it seems like luck is on my side...
Although he has the above chaotic and complicated thoughts in his mind, in fact, Elliott, who has been undertaking similar tasks all year round, is an extremely experienced and seasoned hunter, so he determines his opponent based on the strength of this cyan wind blade. After gaining strength, he decisively sent out the signal to attack with all his strength.
The four knight-level guys around him have a tacit understanding of each other after working with him for many years. So before his spell could be released, the four afterimages rushed over with indomitable power.
The sharp hatchet, the long sword with a sharp and dazzling luster, the heavy hammer, and the dull assassination dagger all poked at the protective force field that was about to collapse almost at the same time.
But just when Elliot was overjoyed and wanted to disperse the spell he was about to release, a sudden change occurred.
A faint figure appeared strangely on the outside of the protective force field. The four knights who were about to break through the protective force field and kill those inside all let out horrified exclamations in unison, followed by their sturdy figures. The body seemed to have been hit by a huge force, and it was even knocked away!
The incomprehensible mutation made Elliot's mind go blank, but the spells prepared in his hands were released instinctively.
There was a muffled sound, and the burning technique that was released was triggered before it could reach the old woman in the mud. The burst of bright white flames even blinded Elliot for a moment.
But the phantom that appeared outside the old woman's protective force field before triggered the attack of the burning technique and rushed over like lightning. Even Elliot, who had recovered his vision, could not Keeping up with its speed, the protective force field on his body continued to produce extremely fine scratches. And the ripples that followed made him understand that he was under attack!
The frightened Elliott immediately wanted to retreat. But the old woman soaked in the mud finally screamed. "Come back! Come back! Come back..."
The faint shadow that was launching a fierce attack. The old woman paused as she screamed, but Elliot, who clearly saw the faint shadow in front of him, felt a chill rising from his tailbone, causing him to scream uncontrollably. The magic of hairstyle is also released instinctively!
This extremely fast faint shadow is not the existence of a normal person at all. Instead, the whole body is almost completely transparent, with only a human-shaped outline and vaguely human facial features, but it is not a physical existence at all.
Moreover, the spells released by Elliot seemed to have no effect on it at all, and were quickly annihilated after coming out of the body. It just makes this weird existence more transparent.
However, this inexplicable existence being bombarded by instant spells made the old woman who was soaked in the mud and relied on a protective force field to resist, became anxious and cried out anxiously. "Come back! Come back! Come back..."
The more than one meter tall humanoid image was a little hesitant, but Elliot, who was staggering back, was still pouring out instant spells. After hesitating for a moment, it turned around and rushed towards the old woman. Ignoring the existence of the force field protective film, he went straight in and quickly disappeared into the mud.
At this time, the four knights who had been violently knocked away rushed over with their own weapons in hand. After protecting Elliot again, the leader looked at him in surprise. The old woman soaked in the mud roared. "Sir! What the hell was that just now!"
Elliot, who was pale but had stopped retreating, murmured in confusion after increasing the intensity of the protective field. "This is impossible! It is impossible for this old woman to have a contracted creature like a ghost, and the evil undead cannot only have such strength..."
"Evil undead?"
"ghost?"
"Contract creature?"
The other three knights protecting Elliot cried out in surprise. In the underground plane, these names represent extremely powerful and strange existences. Not to mention a hunting team of their strength, even a team led by a dawn-level wizard would not be willing to fight against such an existence.
The four knights looked at each other in bewilderment, and could clearly see their own frightened faces in their teammates' eyes.
But the knight who spoke first immediately raised a question. "This is impossible! Only the Karst Defense Line and the Deep Canyon may have these strange creatures. There shouldn't be such creatures in the Dark Wing City..."
Elliot, who was cold and pale, knew much more than these great knights, but in the lightning-fast fight just now, he was able to determine that even if the strange existence was a ghost or an evil undead, its strength could not break through his protective force field, so now he had to face whether to continue...
But thinking of the slightly harsh conditions when accepting the task, Elliot, who had made up his mind, had already made a decision. Since he would not be harmed by this strange existence, then killing the old woman and evacuating was the wisest choice.
"Do it! No matter what it is, as long as we kill this old woman, we can retreat!"
Decisively giving the order, energy fluctuations emerged between Elliot's hands, and this most proud and powerful spell of his was quickly constructed.
The four frightened knights beside him exchanged glances and gathered their strength to launch a full-strength attack!
There was a little guilt in his heart, but when the spell was constructed, Elliot still resolutely released the spell.
The four knights beside him also launched a tacit encirclement, waving their weapons or jumping up, or rushing forward, ready to cooperate with his spell to kill the old woman who was soaked in mud and could only passively defend!
However, the single powerful spell released by Elliot seemed to have entered a sticky and insurmountable barrier. Although the shape was complete, it lost its speed. Seeing this, Elliot stared with his eyes wide open, and then he realized that an irresistible pressure had come.
The four knights who were about to complete the final blow were suddenly completely imprisoned.
The overwhelming and irresistible pressure caused Elliot's magic to collapse directly, and Raymond, who suddenly appeared between the two sides, stared blankly at the old woman soaked in the mud, with mixed feelings... (To be continued...)
