Chapter 140 Wild Magic

"Did you hear anything?" Barnes asked, looking back. The simple moonlight cut shadows on the carpet, like pale graves built side by side in the darkness.

Vivian was looking at the moon outside the window and did not respond to Barnes' question.

Raven shook his head.

John didn't hear any movement. After entering this alien world, his psychic perception continued to warn him of danger in his brain. At first, the magician only thought that this was an incompatibility caused by another world, thinking that this abnormal reaction would disappear after spiritual energy communicates with the magic network of this world.

However, John trusted Barnes' intuition. The captain, who had escaped from hell many times, had a miraculous ability to sense danger.

Within seconds, Barnes' intuition was confirmed.

Click, click...

There was a continuous sound from the corridor behind him, which was the sound of iron hitting the ground. The rusty weapons were dragged on the floor, and the dusty armor passed through the light and shadow, covered with moonlight. He stiffly moved his leg joints and approached the team members.

There were more than twenty of them, and they had blocked the entire corridor. With the sound they made, the knights' armors on the side of the corridor began to tremble and move, joining this cold team.

"Living armor."

Mysterious power is attached to ordinary armor due to natural or artificial factors, giving the armor the ability to move on its own, thus giving birth to the monster of living armor. These living armors were once used by magicians to protect private property. They are low-cost, self-healing, and more. A single individual is a miscellaneous soldier who can only consume the enemy's physical strength, but living armor usually appears in groups.

"Chain lightning, John!"

The best way to deal with living armor is magic. Because their structural properties can greatly reduce physical attacks, the best way is to use magic to destroy the magic imprints inside the armor to paralyze the living armor. Moreover, metal armor has strong electrical conductivity, allowing lightning spells to achieve excellent results.

John immediately cast the spell, and he felt the magic filling his palms, turning into two unstable electric lights. Then he opened his eyes wide, and the abnormality in the spell gave him a bad premonition. The magic was out of control! Unstable currents broke free and collided with each other. The moment John withdrew his hand and quickly retreated, the surging energy turned into flames and exploded behind Raven. Fortunately, the warrior had quick eyesight and quick hands, and rolled forward to avoid the explosion damage.

"The magic is out of control," John broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't remember the last time he made a mistake in casting. "No, it's the magic network that's out of control. The magic here is still in a wild and unsorted state of chaos." This is Is there a reason why the spirit keeps warning him? The magic net here is like a manic beast that is hostile to the caster.

The influence of the alien world, the team members immediately realized that this was the change brought about by the alien plane. John did not expect that he and others would discover the difference between the other world and the material world so quickly, let alone at such a critical moment.

The magic was out of control, and what appeared in front of him was a group of living armors with full resistance points.

Raven rushed forward. With his bare hands, he first avoided the hammer blow of the living armor, then stepped on the hammer handle that fell to the ground, and punched the living armor to fly away. Then he rolled sideways and dodged the vertical slash of the long sword. While standing up, Raven replaced the helmet of a living armor with a hammer.

Raven is brave and good at fighting, and his attack did have the effect of causing collective chaos in the living armor at the beginning.

However, the living armor with missing arms and legs only needs to pick up the dropped armor joints and reinstall them, and then it can participate in the battle again. If there are no weapons, it can use both hands. If the armor is damaged, it can be reassembled with other parts of the living armor.

Raven seemed to be facing endless enemies.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Raven fought and retreated, never letting the living armor completely surround him. Arlington, who was ordered, also joined the battle. His Hellfire spell lost its response, and now he could only rely on the Hell Guards. His powerful body was fighting against the living armor, and just like Raven, it had little effect.

After the magic went out of control, the living armor became a formidable enemy even for the Daystar team. John realized that he could not continue like this, so he asked Barnes, who still had some energy left, to find a way out and a room that was easy to defend, and he joined the battle.

John had no combat training, and his martial arts skills were even worse than those of living armor that relied on instinct. He could only rely on his dragon blood-enhanced body to provide auxiliary support and last-ditch damage to other teammates.

The warlock whose magic was out of control did not give up trying. His habit of testing and exploiting the rules gave the warlock new ideas. Since your own spellcasting will lead to unpredictable consequences, direct contact with the spellcasting will change the activity mechanism in the living armor.

[Identification Technique], a standard ritual action of close contact with the inside of a magic item to cause magic resonance. If the cast is successful, the caster can obtain the properties and usage of the item.

This low-level spell was very handy for John, but of course he didn't expect to be able to use the living armor. Instead, he plans to take advantage of the characteristics of the other world that can make magic go out of control. The effect of [Identification Technique] will be related to the target object. If the magic goes out of control in the process, it may affect the action of the living armor itself.

Just as he said, John caught a living armor that was knocked to the ground by Arlington and released the identification technique on it.

The warlock's fingertips immediately sensed the chaotic magic power at the moment of casting the spell. The living armor he touched began to heat up, and bulges appeared on the metal surface. John rolled over and retreated, and the internal explosion of the living armor permanently reduced one of his men.

The living armor was killed by the [Identification Technique]. John looked at the charred remains of the armor on the ground and stretched out his sinful black hand towards the next target.

Plants grew out of a living armor, and he was strung to a tree, losing the ability to move freely.

The shell of a living armor softened, and the metal body seemed to have turned into some kind of mollusk. Not to mention attacking, it could not even stand alone.

A living suit of armor transformed into a stone sculpture...

A living armor begins to attack its companions...

The out-of-control magic greatly reduced the number of people in the living armor, and for a while John had the illusion that he had become more powerful.

John reached out to the next living armor that was temporarily knocked down.

A scene that left the adventurer stunned appeared.

The living armor affected by magic stood up from the ground. Its armor became brand new and shiny, and it was surrounded by evil aura. But right at the foot of the armor, a dusty living armor still lay.

"It split?"

Barnes looked at the strange scene created by John's magic, thinking that this opportunistic boy had finally received his comeuppance.

"No, it's not just a split." Raven vaguely sensed something was wrong, and tentatively threw an ax at the living armor wrapped in evil aura.

The flying ax passed through the middle of the armor's torso. This living armor had no entity.

"This is not living armor! This is fear armor!"

Heavy resentment is attached to the armor, giving the armor wearer all the abilities he had during his lifetime. When time erases everything, the armor's body is on the verge of breaking. Not only did the resentment not subside, but it broke free from the destruction of the body and became an even more powerful monster.

Fear armor, a spiritual monster, is immune to all physical attacks and has a variety of spell resistance. Only the divine spells of holy priests can cause additional damage to fear armor.

Terror Armor is a superior replacement for Living Armor. If Living Armor is the bastard among soldiers, then Fear Armor is the elite among the elite.

All mages could not grasp the principle of evolution of living armor into fear armor. They did not even dare to determine the connection between these two similar monsters. John did it through [Identification Technique].

Praise for magic out of control!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Behind the escape of the adventurers, the evil aura of the fear armor had affected all the living armors. They regrouped, like soldiers under the command of a general, with greater strength and pursued the enemy leisurely.
