Chess Mage of Faerûn

Chapter 320 Giant Mad Mage
Since the sorcerers dared to summon these treacherous, cruel, or bloodthirsty Batzu and Tanaris from the lower planes, they must have the means and confidence to coerce and control these vicious individuals.

Various contracts, oaths, and anti-evil spells not only prevent the opponent from harming the summoner, but can also restrict, weaken, or even forcibly control the summoned.

Of course, the more obvious and demanding the effect, the more difficult it is to cast. And no contract can guarantee its effectiveness 100%, let alone a contract without loopholes.

Therefore, such demonic summoning is often a process of negotiation between the two sides. Even if the mage has the advantage, there are times when they make a big mistake and cause serious trouble.

This time, the mage clearly won. Although Burke's abilities weren't enough to completely control a berserker, he could still slightly restrict one of the opponent's abilities.

Just as Mr. Berserker was about to temporarily avoid the limelight, the kind-hearted Mr. Burke very considerately restricted his insignificant and utterly useless teleportation ability, thoughtfully cutting off his escape route and giving him a lot of courage to fight to the bitter end.

Although he wished he could tear Burke to pieces and swallow him whole, the giant before him was the most pressing issue.

The Berserker let out a howl, and the evil and blasphemous mantras, accompanied by the chaotic and corrupting spiritual light, suddenly erupted, sweeping across everything around the Berserker.

Despite his passion for melee combat, relying on his brute strength to tear apart enemies and his pungent body odor to suffocate them, it doesn't mean that the Berserker Demon can't use fancy tricks.

Blasphemous words, this berserker's trump card spell, was decisively unleashed. As for whether the mountain-like giant on the other side would have any effect, that was not something he had time to think about at the moment.

The Berserker was, after all, a Berserker, not a Freymon who would scatter and flee when faced with a strong enemy, or a Coward who would beg for mercy with his rear end sticking out. He straightened up, which was originally on all fours and somewhat resembled a gorilla, and stared at the giant in front of him with his blood-red eyes, ready to fight to the death.

The other person turned around!
The Berserker was taken aback. Had his blasphemous words taken effect? ​​Had his opponent fallen into a state of fear?
But the giant strode to a tree. The tree had lost all its leaves, leaving only bare branches and a straight trunk. The trunk was as thick as a man's waist and over nine meters tall.

Xiao Xiao stepped forward, reached out and pulled out the tree as easily as pulling out a weed, and even had the leisure to tidy up its branches.

Then, holding the bottom end in one hand, he patted and weighed the other end in his left hand, his gaze towards the Berserker Demon filled with cunning and ill intent.

This. . .

This can't be...

A terrible premonition arose in the Berserker Demon's heart. The thought was too terrible, and he shook his head, refusing to think about it any further.

His hunch was right, though it wasn't something to be overjoyed about.

After playing with his new "weapon" for a while, Xiao Xiao suddenly took a step forward, without even saying hello, and swung the tree branch in a wide arc to deliver a blow.

Good heavens, before the attack could even land, the shrill whistling sound of the tree branch tearing through the air, and the shockwave from the small body's outstretched swing, struck the Berserker Demon's face like a storm, turning his originally dark red face much paler.

It changed color...

At this critical juncture, the Berserker Demon instantly forgot about any desperate struggle, returning to a quadrupedal position and attempting to escape the extremely vicious blow.

Fortunately, I saw the opportunity early and managed to escape this calamity by rolling around like a lazy donkey.

While its small size gives it immense power, it is also inevitable that its movements will be somewhat slow.

The stick slammed into the ground with a resounding thud, like a muffled thunderclap. Those nearby felt another jolt beneath their feet. When the dust settled, the stick in the little girl's hand was broken, leaving a long, narrow dent like a scar etched into the ground where it had been struck.

Xiao Xiao scratched his head, somewhat regretfully tossing the broken tree trunk aside. If it weren't for the fact that his body limited his power, he could have crystallized the tree trunk with his mountain power, and the increase in strength and power would have been significant.

PIU~
Just then, a beam of sky-blue light struck the small body; the one who emitted it was none other than Burke, who had just concealed his presence.

Faced with such a small creature, Burke racked his brains but couldn't understand why this colossal elemental being, which was at least comparable to the Storm Giant in size, could be considered a level five summon.

A head-on confrontation would be extremely unwise; an elemental body is sufficient to exempt one from many tactics.
He wasn't unfamiliar with elemental spells, but he never expected to encounter this situation.
Fortunately, it wasn't entirely hopeless. After observing for a moment, the invisible Burke realized that the opponent was not just a silver spear with a large physique, and that even the Berserker Demon himself was probably in danger. So he took out a scroll.

Banishment is the best choice for dealing with powerful enemy summons and outer-dimensional enemies.

A burst of blue light shot out and struck the small stone body, however…

It did not fade away, nor did it disappear; its small yet majestic form remained standing in the same spot.

Seeing that the mage was truly unreliable, the berserker cursed inwardly and turned to run away.

"Look closely, look at the eyes of that stone giant!"

Burke's shout rang in his ears. Upon hearing this, the Berserker Demon subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see that the stone giant's originally bright blue eyes were now dull and lifeless. Although its entire body was still so huge, it seemed like a dead object, no longer possessing the imposing aura it had just displayed.

Even the Balkans in this main plane can be reliable sometimes!
Overjoyed, the berserker turned and pounced directly at the giant, who was now unconscious.

The Tanaris never care about manners; they'll strike while the iron is hot, eliminate this formidable enemy, and then the remaining mortals will be nothing more than snacks.

At this point, Burke finally regained his initial composure, at least on the surface.

His gaze toward the younger man opposite him held a mixture of apprehension and surprise.

He couldn't let this junior continue to act recklessly; he didn't want to gamble on how many cards the other party still had up their sleeve.

Burke decisively pulled out a scroll, only to see that the other person had also pulled out a scroll. While chanting incantations and observing the other person, Burke discovered that this young man wasn't preparing an escape spell, but rather—

Dimensional Anchor!
Who gave him the courage and confidence to not run at a time like this, but instead try to prevent himself from escaping?

Burke was both annoyed and amused, and he quickly channeled his magic, determined to teach the other party a lesson.

Level four spells are quick to take effect. Zhang Yuan, who finished casting the spell first, shot out a white light from his hand and disappeared into the void, locking in the fluctuations and ripples of space.
