Chapter 406 The Battle of Nissei Fort (Ⅵ)

Joan recognized that the person chasing him was none other than the red-haired warlock Diego Antonioni, but his image at this moment looked different and very weird.

While flying at a high speed, Antonioni's feet sprayed raging flames, and his body swelled rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a human youth of medium stature into a tall and strong giant!

Even his skin color has completely changed, from bronze to brick red, every pore in his body is violently erupting hot black smoke, his eyes are like embers of a coal fire, and a pair of devil-like pitch-black horns grow out on both sides of his forehead.

"What kind of monster is that..."

Staring in amazement at the smoky red giant on the opposite side, Joan's scalp couldn't help but tingle.

At first, he thought it was the product of some kind of transformation spell, but the smoke rising from the opponent's feet soon reminded him of an illustration in "Vares Monster Manual (Elemental Creatures Subvolume)".

That's right, Antonioni has transformed into a "Fire Giant Spirit" originally from the "Fire Elemental Plane" at this moment!

The giant spirits occasionally wander into the main material world, and for unknown reasons, they often live in oil lamps or copper vases and fall into a deep sleep until they are awakened by someone who happens to pass by.

Just as the kind-hearted "Wind Djinn" is also called "Deng Shen" by people, and will always help his human friends generously within the scope of his ability, the "Fire Djinn" with a bad temper and evil nature is also called "Deng Shen" by people. If someone accidentally releases them from the sealed copper bottle, the reward will be cruel torture and killing.

Joan now finally understands that Diego Antonioni's warlock blood originates from the fire elves.

The form he is showing at this moment is not created by magic, but comes from the power of the "fire dwarf blood" in his body, temporarily "returning to his ancestors" and becoming a genuine fire djinn!

Joan didn't want to fight with this fire-breathing monster, so he hurriedly remote-controlled the "Mage's Strike Palm" and blasted at the fire dwarf that was chasing him, trying to repel him.

It's a pity that Antonioni's combat experience and spellcasting ability are better than him. Before the giant palm that covers the sky falls, a shining teleportation halo has already risen under the feet of the fire dwarf, and his tall body disappears in the "any door". Dodge the "Mage's Assault Palm" slap.

In the next moment, the fire dwarf teleported directly to Joan, and punched him head-on amid wild laughter.

"Little friend, don't cry when you are beaten!"

It was too late for Joan to cast spells at this time. Fortunately, the boxing skills he had practiced under the guidance of Thomas in the past six months came in handy at a critical moment. Looking at Antonioni's punching posture, he concluded that this was just a false move. The real heavy blow came from Right fist back move.

Joan turned his head slightly, and calmly dodged Antonioni's jab, then crossed his arms and pressed down, blocking the opponent's right uppercut in time.

The strong impact made his arms go numb, and his body was lifted up by the force of the fist. Joan grabbed Antonioni's right arm tightly, raised his leg and kicked him in the stomach violently, and the two giants wrestled fiercely in the air.

In this hand-to-hand fight, the size of Joan's blessing of "mythological giant enlargement" is more dominant than the fire dwarf, but the strength is obviously not as good as the opponent's. What's more terrible is the high-temperature steam emitted from the pores of the fire dwarf, which is constantly scorching Joan's "Fire Resistance Barrier".

If the scuffle continued like this, it would take less than two minutes for Joan's fire-resistant barrier to run out of magic power and collapse on its own.

After that, the high temperature radiated from Antonioni's body surface will directly burn Joan's body, igniting the fluffy and flammable feathers.

I can't be entangled like this any longer!

Joan gritted his teeth and went all out to take Antonioni's heavy punch, resisting the pain of staring at his eyes, his face was close to the opponent's head, and a pale luster containing negative energy quickly appeared in his left eye.

He was about to release the "weakening ray" to reduce the strength of the opponent, thus gaining an advantage in the fight, when a muffled thunder exploded above his head, and the dark clouds that had been smoldering all day finally turned into torrential rain and fell.

The thunderstorm came too suddenly, and the feathers of Joan's incarnation Yingman were wet from the rain, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his body.

Antonioni's skin, as hot as charcoal fire, was drenched in rain, hissing and steam rising, and his complexion quickly changed from dark red to gray, like a tongs that had been soaked in a pool.

This sudden torrential rain had a negative impact on both sides in the fierce battle.

Joan's wet wings were not conducive to flying, and Antonioni was more hindered.

The fire dwarf is naturally afraid of the cold, and hates the humid environment very much. His strength will be greatly reduced if he fights in the rainstorm.

"Bah! Good luck, kid!"

Antonioni pushed Joan away with all his strength, wiped his wet hair, and glared at him unwillingly.

"Thanks to the bad weather, you saved your life, and it won't be so easy to let you go next time."

Joan didn't make a sound, and watched Antonioni's smoky figure go away quickly until he disappeared into the depths of the rain. He slowly let out a mouthful of stale air, flapped his heavy wings with all his strength, and flew back to Nisisi Fortress with his exhausted body.

The heavy rain forced the offensive and defensive sides on the battlefield to temporarily truce and retreat to their camps.

Diego Antonioni released the power of the bloodline, changed from the fire djinn back to its normal form, landed beside General Jumonville, took the dry towel from Alpha, and wiped his long hair that was drenched in rain.

"Diego, that little mage has been entangled with you for so long, and I'm really surprised that he didn't lose the wind." Alpha said with emotion.

Antonioni nodded slightly, with a rare serious expression on his face.

"The enemy's army mage, on the surface, is just a small third-level mage, but he has an incredible number of spell slots, and he has mastered many strange spells that I have never seen before. His strength is far beyond the mage level. monster!"

"I have to admit that we underestimated the enemy's strength. Today's battle has really suffered a lot." Alpha scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "My people were bombed first, then ambushed by the enemy, and finally Less than two-thirds of the troops have been safely withdrawn."

"Louis, how many casualties did we have?"

Antonioni asked General Jumonville who was staring at the rainy scene outside the tent with his hands behind his back.

"The total number of casualties is nearly 100, of which 33 were killed."

General Jumonville replied blankly.

"It is indeed a tragic loss, but it is a pity that it failed to deal the same heavy blow to the enemy."

Antonioni sighed.

"Even according to the most optimistic estimate, the total number of casualties paid by the enemy in today's battle will not exceed 100, and they have the home field advantage. The injured officers and soldiers can receive timely treatment and thoughtful care in the fortress. Underneath, the situation on our side was much worse, and the wounded soldiers had to lie in leaky tents to endure the humidity and cold."
