The mage arrives

In the short time before the scorching fireball hit Xiona who was rushing forward, a layer of light red light mask like early autumn mist suddenly appeared on the girl's body, blocking most of the destructive power of the spell.

In order to deal with Burdisso before, the little girl drank the anti-flame potion that Gordon gave her.However, the battle went smoothly and quickly, so that before the duration of the potion passed, it played its role again.

Although he was not burned, the fireball technique was like a bomb, not only had fire damage, but also had a powerful shock wave.Not only was Xiona blocked from her charge by the powerful impact, she was even forced back a few steps, almost losing her balance.

Although he didn't succeed with a single blow, Asalan successfully prevented the opponent's counterattack, which was enough.Next, you only need to let those fighters entangle the little black-haired girl, and you don't even need to do it yourself.

The magic consultant put the last stored fireball magic wand into his pocket, planning to go back and disassemble the magic wand for recycling later.Although his status is high and he earns a lot of money, the huge expenditure in the field of magic still forces him to budget carefully.

"Guards, surround me quickly. And crossbowmen, don't save your enchanted crossbows, shoot me hard!" Earl Thompson glared at Asalan, without saying anything, and turned to the other relatives. The soldiers gave orders.The old earl already knew the habits of his own magic consultant.After repelling Xiona and his own safety was safe for the time being, Asalan did not continue to cast spells to deal a fatal blow to the enemy in order to save spell-casting materials and spell slots.

Earl Thompson was very dissatisfied with this stingy mentality, but he didn't dare to point it out directly.A six-ring mage, no matter which family he is in, will be welcomed and treated with courtesy.The two parties are in a contractual relationship rather than a master-servant relationship. If I really annoy the other party, I will also have a headache.

Being hit head-on by the fireball technique, although Xiona was not injured, her internal organs felt uncomfortable due to the impact, and she collapsed all over, almost unable to hold a weapon.

She looked around, the extreme danger stimulated the potential in her body, the whole world seemed to be immersed in a thick transparent liquid, and it became extremely slow in her eyes.No.It should be that her reaction suddenly became faster.

Holding a mace and a kite-shaped shield, the earl's personal guards wearing silver plate-scale mixed armor are outflanking from both sides.Their faces, covered by full helmets, only showed a pair of eyes, casting a cold and bloodthirsty gaze outward.And what was colder than their gazes were the sharp crossbows aimed at him...

Xiona heard the sound of her heart beating rumblingly, and felt the gurgling blood flowing.More and more vigorous life potential.

She could feel her own understanding and use of origin energy.Another step up.

seem.Can use flash power again...

But flash power is not instant.Although the startup is very fast, there is still about half a second of preparation time for this power.When entering the etheric plane and shortening the distance, a blurred phantom will appear on the body.

If the enemy detects this omen, half a second is enough time for those crossbowmen to pull the trigger and shoot the enchanted bolt.

Xiona understood that she needed a chance to distract the enemy.

And this opportunity.That's it.

On the distant battlefield, a gust of wind suddenly blew up.

It was gloomy and cold, bitingly cold, mixed with the breath of the dead.But it was the wind.It blows away the scorching heat and sulfurous stench emitted by the creatures of the abyss, refreshing one's spirits.

Immediately afterwards, amidst the noisy fighting, cheers came one after another.

The cheers gathered more and more, and finally merged into an ocean, and the sound waves began to sweep across the entire valley.

Everyone was stunned.The soldiers forgot to carry out the orders of their masters, and the nobles fell into confusion for a while, not knowing what happened.

Only Asalan, who is extremely sensitive to magical energy, discovered the abnormality.

He felt that the concentration of negative energy in the air was getting higher and higher.

The battlefield is indeed a place where the dead run rampant and negative energy gathers.But that takes time to accumulate.Now this battle is not over yet, and the corpses of those human beings who died in the battle are not yet cold, so how could there be so much negative energy?

Could it be that among the three great demon lords, Akatu Te, who is good at driving the undead and known as the Lord of the Undead, came in person?Then, these human beings should not cheer, but should scream in despair.

"elder brother!"

Unlike Earl Thompson and the others who didn't know why and looked puzzled, Xiona sensed the changes on the battlefield and immediately knew the reason.

"My brother has already defeated the black dragon with Archmage Cyprus Ding, and returned with the undead army of the Ding Kingdom!"

Xiona showed a gratified smile.

In sharp contrast to her was Earl Thompson's mournful expression.

Although the old nobleman couldn't figure out the situation for a while, he was clear about one thing: the situation had changed, and humans had begun to turn the tide of battle.

The ending they thought they would lose is already different.

If human beings win, it is already conceivable what will happen to those who run away.

Even if they can save their lives in the face of the wrath of the nobles' association and the emperor, the family's future destiny will be bleak, like a plunge into a dark bottomless pit, with no hope of success.

For Earl Thompson, this was worse than killing him.

"The only countermeasure now is to quickly solve the immediate troubles, and then lead the cavalry to attack. The best thing is, I can still suffer some injuries, which will be more tragic. In this way, even if Bishop is held accountable, I can also say that I want to initiate Fight back to turn the tide of battle, not take the horse and run away."

In the blink of an eye, old Earl Thompson had already made up his mind.He immediately ordered to Asalan: "Quick! Don't waste time, get rid of these two people, we will mount our horses immediately and launch an assault against the devil!"

Mages are all smart people, and Asalan figured out the stakes without the old earl needing to explain.He stretched out his left hand, pointing his index finger at Xiona. While moving his lips and chanting a mantra, he made strange gestures with his right middle finger and thumb.

The green emerald ring on his left index finger immediately reacted.Blooming light shoots out a green energy ray.

If Gordon had been present, he would have turned pale with fright, shouted "Disintegration", and told his sister to get away quickly.

The little girl has never seen the effect of dissociation, but seeing this fast and urgent green ray attacking with strange light, she also knows that this spell is difficult to deal with.

As a mage of the six-ring change school, Asalan can be called "focusing on dissociation for 30 years".

As soon as he was promoted to a sixth-ring mage, the first spell he chose to learn was dissociation.After the first successful cast.He was deeply attracted by the mysterious green light.With magic energy, the object is decomposed into the most basic material state.This kind of spell effect is more brilliant than the clichéd flame, lightning, and frost.

He believes that by studying dissociation, one can find the way to the essence of matter and energy.And the way of cosmic truth.

After years of research and improvement, the dissociation technique cast by Asalan.More powerful.Fire rate is faster.And with the assistance of special spells and magic rings, it can achieve a nearly instantaneous speed.

In "Ancient Era", among the attributes of the NPC Asalan, there must be attributes such as "specialization in dissociation: spell check +3, extra damage, instant spell casting..." and so on.

Other soldiers may still be in a daze for a short time.But Asalan's speed was too fast.Xiona didn't even have time to use the flash power again.She could barely hold up the two good magic swords, Longyin and Zidian, and block them in front of her.

The all-conquering magic energy shattered the purple lightning commissioned by the dwarf master Gordon, and also shattered the dragon sound that his father passed on to Xiona...

The remaining green light kneaded Xiona's light leather armor into black gray powder.In the end, it sank into the girl's abdominal cavity.

Severe pain came, causing Xiona to cough up a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.The girl's legs were half-soft, and she almost fell to her knees.

Seeing that the blow didn't work, Asalan gritted his teeth, showing a ferocious expression.

He urged the emerald ring, and once again completed the chant of the dissociation technique.

At this desperate moment, Bivis suddenly stood in front of Xiona,

Just now, this wretched-looking mage with a rough background has always been ignored by everyone.

Earl Thompson knew that Xiona, a young and beautiful girl, was the most difficult problem.And that despicable-looking middle-aged mage is just a despicable bug, and he can clean it up anytime.

As for Xiona, what she admires the most is a knight like her father who goes forward, or a mage like her brother who has the wisdom in her hands. She is usually used to seeing Bivis flattering and kneeling in front of her brother and Donne, and she looks down on it from the bottom of her heart.Although out of politeness and upbringing, Xiona would not show any contempt, but in battle, especially in this desperate battle, she would not pin her hopes on him.

"You..." Xiona only said this word, but she couldn't speak anymore because of the severe pain in her internal organs.And Bivis turned his back to her, and couldn't see the girl's surprised expression clearly.

His face was still thin and wretched, and what he said were not impassioned words to die, but Bivis was indeed using his flesh and blood to protect Xiona.

"Miss Xiona, I have a son, and I hope Mr. Gordon can take care of him." After Bivis finished speaking, he immediately took out a shield scroll and began to sing.

He doesn't have the magic skills like Asalan, even if he uses a scroll to cast a spell, it will take a lot of time.Now that the situation is urgent, Bivis even endured the pain of losing control of the arcane energy and backfired on himself, so he accelerated the speed of casting spells.

Blood flowed from the corner of his lips, and Bivis trembled from the pain of energy backlash, but he remained steadfast, guiding the spells on the scroll accurately and quickly.

Bivis is not a big shot, just a small nobleman in the countryside, and even the qualification to participate in the autumn hunting has to be obtained by asking around.He is not a hero who has noble sentiments and is willing to endure hardships and even sacrifice his life for a great cause.

The reason why he chose to sacrifice himself to save Xiona was just a combination of impulsiveness and interest considerations.

Bivis is self-aware and knows that with his own abilities, it is absolutely impossible to escape Earl Thompson's clutches.If Xiona died, the angry Gordon didn't know how he would react-you know, venting anger to others is one of the "good" qualities of nobles.Even if Gordon didn't blame Beavis for not protecting his family well, so what?

Will a small nobleman in the countryside lose his master, will he end well?

Although Bivis' mage status is in the entire Far Frost Province.Even in Clear Water City, it was nothing.But in the countryside, it is also a daunting existence.

With the head of the family dead, Bivis could already imagine how those wolf-like squires and greedy and ignorant servants would treat their families.

When the big nobles in the city were fighting and fighting, they would talk about the rules and be scruples about eating.In the country, not so much decent.

Bivis' son not only inherited his father's distinctive appearance.Even the half bucket of water, oh no, it should be the half bucket of water's magic talent, also inherited.

No well-known mage would think highly of his son, even those exams in the magic school.He couldn't pass either.

If he could exchange his own death for Gordon's sympathy, and let this promising young mage take care of his son.Bivis was satisfied.

certainly.Even if his family had a bright future, the mage certainly couldn't see it.

Seeing that someone dared to stand up and stop him, Asalan couldn't help being furious.

"What the hell are you? A lowly country gentry mage! The achievements of a lifetime can't keep up with a spell experiment in my youth, and you actually want to challenge me? I'm Asalan from Winterhold, Master of the Oak Staff fourth disciple!"

With a contemptuous expression, the earl's magic advisor cursed this humble and weak person who suddenly came to disrupt the situation.On the one hand, he cast the spell mercilessly.

Before Bivis could finish casting the spell, he was hit by the dissociation technique.Half of his body quickly collapsed and disintegrated like a strong wind blowing through a pile of sand.

"Idiot, don't you know that the shield technique is completely useless against the disintegration technique?"

Facing the mutilated corpse of Bivis.Asalan cursed secretly.

He was not happy about killing such a weak mage, and was even secretly annoyed at wasting precious spells.He wanted to prepare a spell to completely kill the fateful Xiona to prevent future troubles, but words that surprised him came from his ear.

The soldiers who had just outflanked to the rear realized that Xiona had disappeared: "My lord, that woman has teleported away!"

"Teleportation? Impossible! I didn't feel any energy fluctuations from the teleportation spell! Otherwise, I would have used the dimensional anchor to block the teleportation spell!" Asalan said loudly.

At this time, Bivis' body fell to the ground with a crash.The slender figure who was half squatting behind him had indeed disappeared.

Earl Thompson and the other nobles all showed expressions as if they saw their wives having an open meeting with the ten most humble farmers.

"This little slut is a fighter, a pure fighter, not those idiots who practice both magic and martial arts. How can she know spells?" The old count asked angrily, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse.

"I saw with my own eyes that her body suddenly became blurry, as if covered by a layer of mist, and then disappeared in a 'swoosh'."

"Fuck you! You idiot born of a troll!" Earl Thompson cursed like a drunk, as if he had a grudge against the onomatopoeia uttered by the soldier.

"These vulgar soldiers don't understand magic at all. In my opinion, it's either some kind of magic item or her own power." Asalan finally made a reliable guess.

Earl Thompson hated him so much that he wanted to tear off his waxed, straight and beautiful beard, and use it as a dagger to kill the clever mage in front of him.If it wasn't for him trying his best to save those spell-casting materials and spell slots early in the morning, how could Xiona run away, leaving a huge hidden danger.

Asalan didn't feel that what he did just now was wrong.The mage's spells are very powerful, but any qualified mage knows that when the problem can be solved without using spells, don't use spells.Because you don't know when a sudden danger will come.The limited spell slots must be used to solve the most critical problems.

Freaks like Gordon who cast spells with mana are the only ones.

Although he thought he had done nothing wrong, but let Xiona run away, Asalan knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility.He knows now is not the time to blame each other for infighting.For the sake of the future, and the well-paid position of the earl's magic consultant, he comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord, the little girl did escape, but she was hit by a dissociation spell by me. Seriously injured. She tried her best to escape with her power, which would only aggravate her internal organ injuries, and now she might not even be able to stand up. Bishop defeated the demon, and when she searched around, she only found a corpse."

Earl Thompson's expression softened slightly.He still has confidence in Asalan's strength.There was no time to search for the vanished Xiona.They must immediately mount their horses and enter the battle.Otherwise, when the battle is over, without the need for others to report, he will already be charged with fleeing the battle.

Earl Thompson found his mount with a look of reluctance, rode on, and then galloped away under the protection of a large number of heavily armored personal guards...

Xiona, who was hiding in a huge pile of rocks behind the horse pen, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of the horse's hooves gradually disappearing.

In this remote and dark place, not even the noise of the battlefield can be heard.Xiona found that her breathing was getting heavier and weaker.The great pain in her body caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood from time to time, dyeing the broken armor red.

I don't know if it was because the night was too dark, or because her vision was blurred due to blood loss, she couldn't see clearly for a long time.

The body and consciousness are getting closer and closer to the cold darkness, and Xiona knows that she is dying.

"I hope my brother will bury the broken Longyin and Zidian with me." Xiona wanted to write her last words on the mud with her fingers.But now she couldn't even lift a finger.

"Goodbye, brother..." (to be continued...)
