You are all my wings...

There is always a risk of being drawn into the battle.

The key now is to act quickly and decisively, and then rapidly enter the side lane area.

“Elise, the white unicorn can easily unleash water-based elemental magic, its magical power is probably comparable to yours, and its physical strength can easily defeat most third-tier warriors. Its basic defensive magic probably won't be very effective! Let's fight from a distance! I will use movement-based combat skills to help you dodge, you just need to keep casting Judgment Spear.”

"Take me away?"

Before Iris could react, Leon had already put his arms around her shoulders and thighs.

then--

Third-tier combat skill, Shadow Step activated!

Stamina -2, Magic -2.

call out!!!!

Just as the white unicorn was about to charge at the two of them, Leon, holding Iris, instantly moved out of the unicorn's impact range and appeared more than ten meters away.

In this situation, the best option would have been for Leon to use his core skill, Shadow Leap.

However, Shadow Leap's skill allows him to turn his body into a shadow and move across the ground, but he cannot move people with him.

On the contrary, the Shadow Step, which has been upgraded to a third-tier combat skill, has a large movement distance and is also suitable for carrying people.

Although it consumes more magic power, this move is clearly more suitable for creating distance when facing opponents like the White Unicorn who excel in speed.

"Elise, sing! With your lance of judgment, swiftly finish off your opponent!"

"it is good!"

Although being held by Leon felt strange, and even stirred up lingering memories from her dream, things had come to this point, and they couldn't afford to miss the opportunity.

Iris got into the zone and began chanting quickly.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Magic Crown

"The verdict is final!"

"The tip of gold melted in six days, the edge with four cracks and dark lines!"

"Unite, arsenal of Saint Hermes!"

As Iris chanted, a dazzling spear of light materialized in her palm.

"Do you need to adjust your posture?"

Leon, who was constantly dodging the white unicorn's charge, looked down and asked Iris, who was in his arms in a princess carry.

Elizabeth's pale cheeks flushed slightly.

"No need, I've already got my sights set!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her wand, and with a sudden burst of magic, the spear of light in her hand was pushed out at an accelerated speed.

At first, the speed wasn't particularly fast, but once it completely left the palm's range, it vanished instantly, shooting out at a speed that the naked eye couldn't perceive.

call out!!!!

The spear of light was aimed directly at the white unicorn that was chasing after him from behind.

The spear tip was about to hit the white unicorn, at a distance of only 10 centimeters!

suddenly--

Wow! ! ! !

An ice crystal shield condensed in front of the white unicorn.

Strangely, the light spear's astonishing speed was suddenly weakened before it made contact with the ice crystal shield, becoming extremely slow, as if it were stuck in quagmire, barely maintaining its forward momentum, and locked in a stalemate with the white unicorn's ice crystal defense shield, failing to break through it for a long time.

After a 5-second standoff, the spear of light was completely neutralized by the ice crystal shield.

An attack with power close to that of a mid-level spell was easily neutralized!

This scene also surprised Lyon greatly:

"It can even instantly reduce the extreme speed of the spear of light, so could it be an ice slowing spell?"

He could not hide his surprise.

Ice slowing magic is not as simple as just obstructing an object to reduce the speed of a target.

It's important to know that once most spells are successfully cast, it's very difficult to slow down their speed.

All they could do was resist each other with defensive shields.

Or intercept it with other magic.

This spell can slow down the speed of an already cast spell in advance; it's extremely rare!

It could even be said that in the world of Sword, Sorcerer and Sacred Land, this magic exists only by a few exceptionally gifted individuals, and most have only scratched the surface of its power.

For example, ice dragons, sea dragons, and pure-blooded ice spirits.

Afterwards, if one can master the use of A in the long term, their combat power will also see an amazing breakthrough.

As magic power and mastery increase, it can even be elevated to a forbidden magic capable of freezing even the movement of matter!

Therefore, the slow spell slot is also known as one of the crown jewels of magic.

Unexpectedly, the white unicorn, a monster, could instinctively use speed magic.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to slowing down magic.

But even a small part of it will drastically change the course of the battle.

Putting everything else aside, with just this one move, this powerful third-tier monster can easily kill most third-tier monsters, and even hold its own against fourth-tier transcendents.

It's important to understand that starting from the fourth tier, the combat power gap between the fourth and third tiers becomes significantly larger.

It can only be said that it is a monster that has left its mark in the history of mythology.

Leon remembered that, looking at all four books in the Sword, Magic and the Holy Land series, only the first female protagonist of the third book cracked this magical crown in the form of a new kind of magic, achieving a very high level of mastery and turning it into her core trump card.

The other characters who can use slowing magic are almost all at a rudimentary level.

This applies even to epic-level powerhouses.

"You didn't see wrong, did you? Ice Slowdown, that's the Crown of Magic!"

Elizabeth was astonished.

"I'm pretty sure I wasn't mistaken. Since this white unicorn is so powerful, let's retreat first. Even if we win, the cost will be huge, and the risk will increase significantly."

"Should I try firing a shot with even more magic power?"

"The advantage of the Judgment Spear is its guaranteed hit and its enormous striking power generated at extremely high speed. Suppressing both of these points means that it is impossible to defeat that unicorn."

"I still have one last intermediate spell to finish off, why don't you give it a try?"

"How much magic power will it consume?"

"Fifty percent more than the number of shots used for sentencing."

"Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can temporarily retreat to the 24th floor to repair, or try again, or go to the side area on the 25th floor in a different direction."

"it is good."

Elizabeth quickly began to sing.

Although her agility stat is higher than Leon's, she lacks mobility skills and cannot dodge the White Unicorn's high-speed charge at crucial moments.

So the current situation is that Leon is still running wildly with Iris in his arms, occasionally using Shadow Step to dodge the White Unicorn's high-speed collisions.

If we only consider agility, this white unicorn probably has at least 50 points, which is close to twice the normal limit.

This is considered a top-tier value among third-tier monsters.

Although Iris has a high racial endowment, due to the slow growth of elves and her relatively young age, she is currently unable to achieve twice the maximum value of her other attributes, except for magic power.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Fireballs shot out one after another, blasting towards the white unicorn, but their speed was easily reduced, and their power was greatly diminished.

Elizabeth's hymn was quite long this time.

Even the chanting language was a language Lyon was unfamiliar with.

Leon could only continue running, wandering around the outer perimeter of the Water Ruins, while simultaneously casting various basic spells to block the white unicorn from getting closer.

In the blink of an eye, from the moment he encountered the white unicorn until now, Leon had consumed 12 points of magic power and 8 points of stamina.

suddenly--

A wall of water suddenly rose from the distant surface, swirled, and transformed into a vast expanse of waves that surged toward Lyon.

It was the white unicorn's immense magical power unleashed, a mid-level water-based spell: Flood!

Clearly, it was repeatedly evaded by Leon, so he simply launched this area-of-effect attack.

Boom!

The roaring floodwaters crashed down with tremendous force.

Now Leon really had nowhere to hide.

The area covered by this flood was hundreds of meters in diameter, and the Shadow Step would need to be activated six times in a row to cross it and leave.

He glanced at Elizabeth; the chanting wasn't over yet, and the magic emanating from her was growing stronger.

Judging from this, this attack will consume at least 20 points of magic power, which is much more than she had previously estimated.

This girl really believes he can hold his nerve for so long in crucial moments.

"Fine, I'll play this big game with you."

Lyon gathers magical power and activates a primary defensive spell, the Water Mirror, at high power.

shhhhhh!

Water droplets gathered in front of them, forming a circular dome that covered the two of them.

No chanting required, completed in an instant.

Magic -3.

Just as this defensive spell was completed, a wave carrying immense force crashed down.

Boom!

Almost instantly, Lyon's protective shield was pierced by the surging force.

However, all Leon needed was this fleeting opportunity. As long as he could neutralize the first wave of the Flood spell, he could then use Shadow Step to move to a place with less splashing water.

call out!!!!

Just as the white unicorn came rushing towards them, splashing through the water, Leon used his third-tier combat skill, Shadow Step, to move into the air, avoiding the second wave of the flood and the white unicorn's pincer attack.

At that very moment, Iris finally finished chanting the intermediate spell she had been preparing for so long.

A surge of magic gathered on her wand.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Cone of Light that Pierces Through the Solid

Suddenly, Iris, who was being held by Leon, swung her wand.

An extremely bright light burst forth with Iris's wave.

In the center of this light, a hundred thick beams of light condensed and, with a wave of Iris's hand, split into five groups, shooting out in an instant.

Intermediate Elemental Magic: Light Piercer!

This is the advanced version of the basic elemental magic, Light Cone, which consumes over 20 points of magic power and is more than ten times more powerful than the basic version.

A single, large cone of light possesses 20% of the destructive power of the Judgment Spear.

And there are a hundred of these thick cones!

The total magic consumption is about twice that of the Spear of Light, but its power and attack range far exceed it!
