Chapter 430 [0427] Lund
In a duel between warriors, an unstoppable momentum can sometimes be the key to victory; but in a civil war between mages, calmness and wisdom are the magic weapons to win.
Blindly using spells that you can only barely control is far less effective than using spells that are not so powerful at will. After all, magic is always a matter of a hair's breadth.
This ice python is very strong. Not only is it incredibly destructive, but it also seems to have some elemental life, and many of its actions are clearly "spontaneous".
But with Grandma Ling's current level of magic power and magic control, it is obviously not possible to manipulate it at will.
Moreover, too much attention was paid to the control of magic, resulting in Grandma Ling's observation of the battlefield not being careful enough - plus she was very familiar with this place, she didn't notice at all that Ino's seemingly embarrassed escape actually left a trap to catch the python behind her back.
When Ino "flustered" and came to the direction leading to the secret room, the anxious Grandma Ling fell into complete madness as if someone had targeted her most precious treasure.
"Don't even think about it! Don't even think about getting it first!" Under Grandma Ling's control, the ice python's speed increased sharply, "The glory of the world rune belongs to the silent man!"
Ino pretended to open the door of the secret room, and Grandma Ling's eyes were bloodshot. She shouted wildly and began to expand her spell field regardless of the consumption of magic power, trying to prevent Ino from touching the door leading to the world rune.
The frantic and disordered magic power formed a magic tide, and then was captured by the magic circuit that Ino had drawn before, which accelerated the charging of this set of python-catching circuits. When Grandma Ling was driving the giant python and was about to rush to Ino, the magic circuit closed, and the invisible magic power was like a shackle, tightly clamping the neck of the frost giant python.
The frost python was imprisoned in an instant, and Grandma Ling, who was on the giant python, was thrown directly into the air and hit the wall of the passage.
The violent collision made Grandma Ling, who had difficulty casting spells, unable to control the ice python.
The next moment, with a painful wail, Grandma Ling's eyes rolled and she lost consciousness.
The body of the ice python began to expand rapidly. Its originally astonishingly large body was like a balloon at this time, almost blocking the entire passage.
Obviously, Grandma Ling's spell was out of control!
Ino, who had been prepared, immediately created an ice wall in front of him to meet the possible explosion later - without the spell maintained by the caster, its spell structure would quickly become unstable and the energy would become disordered, and eventually exploded in the most violent way, causing the most terrible damage.
Ino's previous "python trap" was certainly to win with less consumption, and on the other hand, it was also to avoid too serious impact caused by the spell being out of control.
After all, this is underground. Even though the surrounding forbidden magic stones can absorb a large amount of scattered magic, Ino still carefully chooses a more controlled method to solve the problem.
However, what Ino never dreamed of was that after the ice python expanded rapidly, it did not explode!
Without Grandma Ling's control, it still twisted its body vigorously, as if it was really a python caught in a capture trap!
Ino couldn't believe his eyes!
Grandma Ling created elemental creatures?
How is this possible?
Teacher Karya clearly said that it is very difficult to enlighten elemental creatures. Even for ascenders, it is almost impossible to enlighten elemental creatures out of thin air!
How did Grandma Ling create an elemental life with self-awareness in a short time?
This doesn't make sense!
However, although she was shocked, Ino didn't mean to stop the action in her hands. While recalling the means Karya taught her to deal with elemental creatures, she began to control the gradually tightening trap array to deal with this difficult giant python with all her strength.
In the simulation training, Ino had also seen the attack of pythons.
But compared to the beasts he faced at that time, the ice python in front of Ino now surpassed it in every aspect.
Strength, defense, size and even elemental resistance made Ino feel his scalp tingling after some testing.
It is no exaggeration to say that this ice python is the most difficult opponent that Ino has ever seen, below the Protoss. Although it poses a limited threat to Ino, on the other hand, Ino has no good way to deal with it.
This python is so big that Ino can't completely cover it in the ice thorn hell he summoned even if he tries his best, and it is so big that after an ordinary ice blade pierces its body, it is almost like a thorn stuck in the body of an ordinary person.
Moreover, as an elemental creature, this ice python, like most other elemental creatures, has no "vital points" at all, and its regeneration ability is also amazingly strong. Even if Ino cuts off its tail while it is trapped in a trap, as long as it touches the broken tail again, its body and tail will be connected together, just like it has never been injured.
"No, we can't rely on external forces to destroy it, we must find its elemental core!"
But the problem is that after Ino opened his magic vision, all he saw was chaos - there was no clearly visible elemental core inside this ice python!
What kind of monster is this?
Does he have to wait for its magic power to be exhausted bit by bit? !
Helpless, Ino could only carefully control the trap and consume the magic power of the ice python while thinking about possible solutions.
Then, when the situation was at a stalemate, Grandma Ling finally woke up.
Compared with before, Grandma Ling has really become an old lady like a candle in the wind - the wrinkles on her face have become deeper, and age spots have spread out in large areas, forming a piece on her shriveled face.
The hair that turned from white to black turned white again, but this time it was finally no longer the unique silver-white color of the ice bloodline, but a pure white without luster.
Reluctantly getting up, Grandma Ling held the wall and hunched over to leave the range of the giant python.
Facing Ino's wary eyes, she showed a bitter smile on her face.
"I'm awake!"
Ino didn't say anything, but continued to control the trap while being on guard against Grandma Ling.
"It is the echo of Londe in Runeterra, not an ordinary elemental creature." Grandma Ling sighed and said softly, "The echo of the old gods has no elemental core, and your method has no effect on it."
"The echo of Londe?" Ino narrowed his eyes, "What is that?"
"Londe is the old god of Freljord, who was killed by Volibear in the Dragonspine Mountains. The ice python you saw is the elemental echo left by him."
Kalya's Little Class · Old Gods:
In Freljord, those wild gods of nature that were once believed in by humans are the old gods.
That's right, Ornn, Volibear, and Anivia are all old gods.
