Above the mage

Chapter 102 [Frozen Ray+]

Meanwhile, the battle between Machete and the leader of the Earthbats continued, far from being as easy as it was for God.

After all, with the blessing of the spell, Gao De's side essentially had two 0.5-ring mages for a short period of time, which could exert a certain "rank" suppression on these 0-ring earth bats.

However, the battle between Machete and the leader of the Earthbats was a true 1-on-1 fight.

With a flap of its wings, the leader of the earth demon bats stirred up a gust of wind.

At the same time, it opened its massive maw, filled with fangs, once again, and a powerful energy gathered within its mouth.

Then it suddenly spewed out.

It was a dense, impenetrable rain of cone-shaped pebbles.

Fueled by the gale, the pebbles suddenly accelerated, whistling sharply as they rained down on Maciej like a barrage of hidden weapons.

At that moment, a magical fluctuation rippled out, forming an invisible shield around Maciej.

All the pebbles, just before they were about to touch Marchey's body, seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, falling or bouncing away without causing him any harm.

This magic is familiar to Gao De.

[Shield Spell]!

The battle continues.

Just as the leader of the earth demon bats relaxed his guard slightly, a shard of ice crystal quietly flew out from among the scattered pebbles.

Like a cold, icy blade, it sliced ​​through the air and headed straight for the Earth Demon Bat leader.

This is yet another killer move by Maciej.

Use the opponent's attack to your advantage, conceal the traces of your spells, and thus catch them off guard.

Whether in terms of strength or adaptability, Maciej truly deserves to be called the mage of the enforcement team.

The leader of the earth bats was clearly unprepared for this sudden counterattack, and the flapping of its wings became rapid and disordered in an instant.

It attempted to evade the deadly ice crystal fragment by moving at high speed.

However, it was all too late.

The ice crystal shards traced a perfect arc in the air, like the scythe of death, precisely striking the right wing of the Earth Demon Bat leader.

The instant the ice blade touched its right wing, a bone-chilling cold pierced its skin and reached its very marrow.

But it's not over yet.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound erupted in the air.

At this moment, the ice crystal fragments suddenly exploded, turning into dozens or even hundreds of pieces that grazed the Earth Demon Bat leader, leaving small wounds and covering it with a thin layer of frost.

With its right wing injured, the Earthbat leader immediately lost its balance, and its wing flapping became chaotic.

Seeing this, Marchey finally felt a little relieved.

The opportunity for victory is clear.

However, he did not let his guard down because of his temporary gains, but instead took the opportunity to intensify his offensive.

Three more flashing darts gathered in his palm.

【Magic Missile】.

The leader of the earth-demon bats was a powerful creature. Even though it was injured, it had not completely lost its fighting ability. It struggled to steady itself, and a fierce look flashed in its eyes.

It suddenly opened its massive maw and spewed out an even denser mass of gravel, once again engulfing the three terrifyingly powerful magic missiles.

"You beast!" Maciej gritted his teeth, knowing he had to defeat him in one fell swoop, otherwise he would miss this opportunity and be stuck in a protracted battle again.

Just as he was preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack, Maciej's pupils suddenly dilated.

Something unexpected happened.

In his line of sight, an extremely dazzling flame was seizing the opportunity with incredible speed and skill, tearing through the sky and striking straight at the left wing of the Earth Demon Bat leader.

As if possessing a magical ability to turn corners, it bypassed the Earthbat leader's defenses with an extremely strange trajectory and accurately struck its left wing.

The powerful impact and flames were enough to severely damage even the Earthbat leader's physical body.

With its right and left wings successively damaged, no matter how powerful it was, it could no longer maintain its balance. Its massive body, like a kite with a broken string, lost control and plummeted straight down.

Maciej was surprised by this sudden assistance and glanced out of the corner of his eye at the person who cast the spell—Gold, one of the two mage apprentices he had cast the [Blessing] spell on.

Meanwhile, his next spell was already in the works.

It's still the [Magic Missile].

This time, the Earth Demon Bat leader finally lacked the strength to spew pebbles to devour the magic missiles.

The magic missiles were able to demonstrate their powerful force, accurately hitting the earth bat leader's vital parts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After three consecutive bombardments, the leader of the earth demon bats let out a mournful howl, its voice filled with despair and resentment.

After that wail, the Earth Demon Bat leader fell silent, clearly dead.

Maciej stood there, and after confirming that the man was dead, he turned to look at the young mage apprentice, God.

"Well done!" he praised.

Gao De smiled shyly.

Their battle was over before Marchey's.

With the blessing spell applied to the eleven level 0 Earth Demon Bats, he and another mage apprentice could kill one Earth Demon Bat with a single spell as long as their spells hit.

The ability to adjust the spell trajectory included with [Fire Arrow+] ensured that Godd's hit rate was 100% in this battle.

He single-handedly killed five level 0 earth demon bats with five precise shots of [Flame Arrow+].

The remaining six earth demon bats, facing the combined attack of a third-tier mage apprentice who had also cast the [Blessing] spell, and a dozen or so other mage apprentices, could not hold out for long.

Therefore, the battle on their side ended much faster than expected.

This allowed Gao De to notice the situation on Maciej's side and provide timely support.

After the battle ended, Maciej led the group to clean up the battlefield.

The most valuable parts of the earthworm bat are its eyes and a gland inside its body, so we simply dissected and collected them on the spot.

However, out of a total of twelve earth bats, only six pairs of eyeballs were collected in the end.

This is because most damaging spells are too violent, and while killing ley line creatures, they often cause great damage to their corpses.

For example, the Earth Demon Bats that were killed by Gaode's Flame Arrows were all burned to a crisp.

"Take a break." After ensuring that all the valuable materials had been collected, Maciej directed everyone to return to the main road for a temporary rest.

This encounter has taken a toll on them. If they don't recover their magic power and continue exploring the dense forest, they are likely to suffer casualties if they encounter hordes of ley line creatures again.

In particular, Gao De cast a total of 6 [Fire Arrow+] and [Blade Protection+] spells. If it weren't for the breakthrough in channeling spells, he would have already run out of mana.

Of course, the harvest was also immense.

土魔蝠的本源收集进度，从2/7一下子跳到了7/7，先4/7的【狼鼠】本源一步满进度。

After drinking most of a bottle of "blue light potion" and using the guiding method to restore his mana to full, Gao De did not immediately open his eyes.

He skillfully opened the "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow" information interface in his mind, and then aimed at the flashing yellow plus sign after the [Frozen Ray] entry in the spell bar.

"Add some points!" Gao De thought to himself.

The Big Dipper, representing the origin of the Earth Demon Bat, rotates and flies out, extending and expanding the spell model.

A short while later.

The flashing yellow "+" sign after the 【Frozen Ray】 tag has disappeared and moved into the box.

[Frozen Ray+] (Plastic System, 0 Rings)

Fires a cold, blue-white ray at the target as a ranged spell attack, with an initial maximum range of 25 feet.

If it hits, the target will suffer freezing damage and their speed will be reduced.

Additional: If the target has already suffered enough freeze damage, the Freeze Ray will not only slow the target down, but will also temporarily freeze the target.
