Chapter 262 The Witch Shows Off Her Power
In front of the magnificent Lathander Temple, a lone woman held a lever rifle. In front of her was a frightened heavy-armored knight, and behind her were tens of thousands of people shouting angrily.
The wind blew her long hair, and the smoke from the gunfire dispersed with the wind. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the mage, and the stunned mage flailed his arms wildly, as if those thin arms could block the flying projectiles. Huddled behind the stone railing of the balcony, not daring to show his head, covering his bleeding ears, forgetting to use healing magic on himself.
The paladins either held their giant swords horizontally in front of them, or raised their tower shields, and slowly approached with cautious steps, fearing that the strange wands that could inexplicably smash people's heads into pieces would show off again.
The magicians of the Arcane Knights and the Mysterious Fire Knights recited incantations in unison, and the magical auras flashed one after another. The green Mayoufu acid arrows, the red flame arrows, the multicolored balls, the blue ice cones, the fireballs, and the magic missiles …
The angry mages used various damaging magics that could be cast quickly, and the target was the witch who killed the archmage.
The overwhelming spells came at her, and Dame Hathaway's expression was distorted, as if she was frightened and laughing at the same time!
She was extremely scared, but also extremely brave. The emotions of fear and fearlessness were entangled in her heart. She herself didn't know what kind of mood she was feeling now.
Countless magics hit her, fireballs and acid exploded and splashed, earth and rocks flew up, and dust and flames enveloped the place where she stood.
"The damn witch actually killed an archmage!"
"She turned into ashes, which really gave him an advantage!"
The mages were talking bitterly and cursing, but before they finished speaking, they heard a roar of "Bang!"
The head of an intermediate mage who was scolding happily was blown into pieces, and plasma, brain marrow and skull fragments collapsed everywhere.
A graceful figure walked out of the smoke. The lady's elegant dress was torn by the blast of air, her hair was a little scorched, but she was unscathed.
She raised the gun and looked down the scope with her sharp eyes, staring at the guys who thought they were great, the men who cursed her and despised her.
"Mirror cloak?"
A mage with rich knowledge of magic item identification exclaimed: "She is equipped with a mirror hood, and low-level damage spells are ineffective!"
"If you answer correctly, I will reward you...a bullet!"
The Dame muttered and pulled the trigger. The bullet accurately hit the award-winning mage's mouth, shattering his teeth and tongue, and pierced through the back of his head.
"Use control magic quickly, use entanglement, cobweb, hold, charm and fear!"
The mirror cloak can make the wearer immune to damage spells, but it cannot resist control magic. The arcane knights and mages quickly chanted spells, pink magic auras, colorful glares, and purple fear auras all hit Hathaway. However, she didn't care about it. She had no time to pull the lever, unload, load, aim, and fire!
The mages fell one after another, killed one by one like chickens by a woman who was participating in a battle for the first time and had never mastered any extraordinary power.
"A gift from the Tower of Ed, a ring of free movement? A green stone amulet, a psychic barrier necklace?"
A mage suddenly realized why spells such as hold spells, charms, fears, etc. were ineffective on her.
The gift of Edfanta, the ring, makes the wearer immune to all control spells, while the greenstone amulet, the necklace, makes the wearer immune to all mental magic, including psychic attacks.
This woman may be a weak woman, but she is the richest woman in Faerûn besides the goddess Watkin!
She has gone crazy and doesn't care about anything anymore. Her wealth of tens of millions of gold coins has been wiped out, and mountains of gold coins have been thrown down. Through the business network established over the years and the magic item merchants she has met, what kind of jewelry and gorgeous clothes can't be bought?
The gifts from the Tower of Ed, the mirror cloak, and the green stone amulet were the last costume jewelry she bought for herself. She was very satisfied with them. What made her even more happy was that these three pieces of magic equipment were very beautiful in appearance. , makes her look beautiful!
Death cloud, death, finger of death, petrification, negative energy ray...
The mages recited the magic spell again and began the next round of magic bombing. This time, they concentrated on using instant death spells in an attempt to directly obliterate the life of the Dame.
But this attempt also completely failed, not a single spell worked.
How many gold coins is a "Deathproof Barrier" scroll worth? Hathaway's net worth is enough to buy hundreds of them and play with them!
Before she walked out of the crowd, she had used all the defensive magic scrolls she could buy, including protection against ordinary weapons, protection against magic weapons, protection against arrows, protection against energy attacks, and magic immunity. Now her Magic resistance, death resistance, acid, fire, frost... almost all resistances are one hundred.
Facing the mage, she is invincible until the protective scroll expires!
They walked slowly towards the Mysterious Fire Knights who were casting spells randomly, firing one shot at a time and killing ten people with every ten steps.
No one can stop her firm steps, no one can stop her from finding the one she loves!
Even an archmage with extraordinary power who can destroy heaven and earth! He is a high priest who serves the gods and considers himself to be transcendent from the mortal world!
Mages need hand gestures, casting materials, spells and mental concentration to succeed in order to cast spells. It is by no means just waving your hand to throw out explosions of flames and thunder. Hathaway's precise marksmanship is too threatening to mid-level mages, and he is not ready for a chain. The accidental magicians simply did not dare to expose their bodies to the muzzle of the gun.
The range of the Yao En 1374 lever rifle is not very far, but the reloading speed is extremely fast. There are fifteen rounds of bullets stored in the magazine. Hathaway's fast, accurate and violent shooting made the mages of the Knights of the Mystic Fire roll away. With Climbing, they really wanted to use the legendary spell, but the chanting time of the legendary spell was too long, and the female gunner would have his head shattered before it could be used.
Whenever a mage chants a spell, the keen female gunner will put a bullet into that guy's mouth!
The first shot breaks the shield, and the second shot can kill someone.
The mages of Faerun are accustomed to using extraordinary power to solve all problems. Even wearing a helmet and finding a bunker is better than standing there blankly chanting a spell. They can't compete with the female gunner's hand speed with their own speech speed.
When their extraordinary powers no longer work, they are as vulnerable as a turkey.
Female shooters are like shooting dumb turkeys on a hunt.
A mage who has not prepared protective magic in a hurry is killed with one shot. A mage who activates the shield only needs two shots. The female shooter's reloading and shooting speed is only a quarter of a round. The mage cannot complete a major attack within the time of two shots. The release of powerful spells.
The High Priest of Dawn, who was hiding behind the railing of the balcony of Lathander Temple, roared: "Where are the crossbowmen? Quickly mobilize the crossbowmen and suppress her. As long as the time limit of her protective scroll is used up, the mages can kill her!"
Paladins rarely carry and use crossbows. Driven by their sense of honor, they hate civilians holding weapons that can kill glorious knights. In addition, the action of escorting people to listen to the holy teachings is not a city defense or siege. , not many members of the Knights carry crossbows.
Although there were not many knights carrying crossbows, there were quite a few knights in total, and there were always warriors who preferred this weapon. Soon the knights carrying crossbows were ready to string their bows, aiming from a distance to massacre the mage group standing in front of the crowd. The dangerous and beautiful woman holds the crossbow.
The crossbow arrow flew out, and just before it was about to hit Hathaway, several figures suddenly appeared in front of her. Several shadow thieves broke out of their invisibility, holding daggers in one hand and small shields in the other to help load bullets. The lady defends herself against flying arrows.
The shadow thieves who had activated the "Acuity" skill slashed at the shield with their swords, knocking down the few crossbow bolts one after another.
Ellen Linville's death completely cut off the shadow thief's path to join the Knights. Raynor's bloody head made a decision. Since the temple would not accept the help of dirty and despicable thieves, it would be better to join the ranks of the revolting people than to wait for death.
Publicly, I want to win a chance for the Shadow Thieves Guild, and privately, I want to avenge Brother Ai Lang!
The High Priest of Dawn poked his head out to observe the effect of the crossbow. Only half of his head was exposed, and he was already stared at by the lady who had loaded the bullets. She fired a shot. The bullet deflected slightly and hit the stone railing. The stone dust fragments shot scratched the chief priest's cheek, and he quickly retracted his head in fright.
"What are you waiting for! Knights, quickly raise your shields and charge. Where is your sense of honor? Where is your faith?"
He only glanced at it, but he saw the situation clearly, and the chief priest shouted angrily.
The holy warriors who were approaching slowly with their shields raised saw that the crossbow arrows had not accomplished anything, and they were not far away from the Dame. After receiving the strict order from the high priest, they all started running and entered the charging posture. As long as they reached the woman, they would be within a few seconds. A thief could not stop the paladin's giant sword from slashing, and he could chop them into pieces in just a few strokes.
The thieves took out the round crystal balls from their equipment bags, pulled the tabs of the crystal balls, and threw them towards the paladin battle formation charging with shields.
The crystal ball either rolled down to the feet of the paladin, or fell over the shield wall beside them. After a few seconds of silence, the fire cloud rose in the battle formation. The violent explosion was accompanied by high temperature and shock wave, and the neat The formation was torn apart.
The warriors at the center of the explosion point turned into human torches. The steel armors of the holy warriors around the explosion point were beaten with invisible force. Their bodies were thrown away and fell heavily to the ground. Although the shape of the armor did not change much, the people wearing the armor had different abilities. Bleeding, the power of the shock wave was like high-level sonic magic, killing and injuring a large area in an instant.
The sewers in the temple area were pushed open, and the shadow thieves rushed out with crates, delivering rifles into the hands of angry citizens.
During this time, the rebel citizens hiding in the beholder's lair were undergoing rifle operation training. They may not be as accurate as Hathaway, the natural marksman, but they are already familiar with the basics of loading ammunition and shooting. Five or six citizens formed a shooting team and followed the training. I learned it in middle school, aiming at one person and firing together.
Gunshots were fired one after another, and gunpowder smoke filled the square of Lathander. The scene was like a reenactment of the last scene of the movie "The Temple of Lathander", where a gang of beggars besieged the temple.
But those who besieged the temple were no longer unarmed beggars, but angry citizens armed with Migne rifles. Bullets were flying and fire broke out. Paladins, middle- and low-level wizards and priests were constantly shot and fell.
The flying speed of the bullet is invisible to the naked eye. It is difficult for a person who is attacked by such a weapon for the first time to understand how he was hit. He only saw a flash of fire from the wand and felt a sharp pain in his body. The fear of unknown weapons intensified the Knights. mess.
The mages of the Knights of the Mystic Fire retreated into the cathedral, freed from Hathaway's terrifying gun threat. The shocked mages were extremely angry. With their extraordinary power, they had never been so embarrassed.
The high-level mage and the mid-level mage decided to join forces, spend a huge amount of spell-casting materials, use the divine blessing scroll given by the goddess of magic, and jointly cast an extremely powerful legendary spell.
The name of this legendary spell is "Extreme Despair". After being cast, it will create an area of panic, and all creatures within the scope of the magic will feel heartbreaking shock.
It is already too easy for them to kill this group of madmen. We must subdue them, arrest them all and torture them severely to find out who gave them such courage to rebel against the gods' servants.
During the preparation of the legendary spell, the entire Lathander Temple was filled with a surge of magic power, and the people in the square felt depressed and vaguely ominous.
The boss rewarded me with extra updates, but I haven’t saved the manuscript. I really can’t update ten chapters. These two chapters were coded overnight.
