Chapter 508 - Scary People
Usually, using a magic scroll to cast a spell would be faster than using the magic staff. If a wizard used the magic staff to cast a spell, a spell pattern needed to be drawn before casting a spell. However, the magic scroll could instantly cast the spell as long as there was enough mana.
Wizard Nigel felt the suppression from the hexagonal circle the moment he entered. Just when he started to feel uncomfortable, a magic circle appeared in the hands of the Wizard Bunker. He threw the magic circle on the ground beneath his feet. A small defensive magic circle wrapped them both together with the iron puppet.
Wizard Nigel swept across the magic circle. Although it was small, it contained twenty intermediate magic stones. That was about the maximum energy that the magic circle could be charged with.
When the small defensive magic circle surrounded him, the suppressive power of the hexagonal circle was gone. He was finally free to move however he wanted.
“Get ready to attack now!” Wizard Bunker yelled. He knew that if they could not break the magic tower in time, they would be trapped by the hexagonal circle.
Wizard Nigel targeted the magic tower that was closest to him. As he waved his staff around, he drew the ‘meteor strike’ spell pattern in the air. Then, a fiery red mark appeared on the magic tower. Just a few seconds later, a meteor flew towards where he pointed.
The moment Wizard Bunker entered into the six star magic circle, he felt his life being threatened–just like back when he was fighting on the battlefield. He quickly took out the ‘Energy Shield’ and ‘Ice armor’ magic scroll and used it on himself.
The ‘Energy Shield’ spell generated a dark golden energy on his head. Then, the ‘Ice armor’ spell had formed an ice crystal armor on his body.
However, even with all these protections, it still didn’t provide him with much comfort. It was only after he held a ‘move in a flash’ magic scroll in his hand that he felt a sense of security.
Everything happened in an instant. As they entered the hexagonal circle, Flora had already begun to activate its strategy.
“Intruder detected!”
“Enemy got jebaited, preparing to execute Plan B now!”
“Advanced spell ‘meteor strike’ detected. Threat level low, 50 seconds available before the magic tower crashes!”
“Intruder defense level calculated. Strong defense, activate Arrow Fury mode.”
“Move in a flash magic scroll detected, activating space lock magic circle!”
It only took half a second for Flora to set up the attack. Then, from the unseen void in the center of the hexagonal circle, a strange wave erupted and swept past Wizard Nigel and Wizard Bunker.
Wizard Nigel had never sensed such a wave before. As soon as he found out that the wave did not deal any damage to him, he stopped paying attention to it. He only thought the wave was more like a scanning magic circle.
However, when the strange wave got past through the Wizard Bunker’s body. He immediately felt his life was in danger. Yes, just like the countless times he almost died on the battlefield.
After that, Wizard Bunker realized that he was unable to activate his ‘move in a flash’ magic scroll.
The spell ‘move in a flash’ was known as the most powerful escape mechanism for the wizards. Except for a very small number of magic circles, even the hexagonal circle in front of them could not stop a wizard from using the spell ‘move in a flash’.
Therefore, when the magic scroll ‘move in a flash’ was disabled. Wizard Bunker knew that Abel was not a man he could deal with, and he might be alive to escape.
Bunker hid his body even close to the iron puppet. The iron puppet was the only way for him to defend himself against the large-sized crossbow.
Although the wizards had a lot of magical spells, their physical strength was very weak. This was because their bodies were corrupted by the mana they had so desperately tried to gain.
Therefore when a wizard was unable to use the spell ‘move in a flash’, they became an easy target for the enemies.
Wizard Bunker’s magic staff flashed, and the spell pattern, ‘blizzard,’ appeared. Just as he was about to cast the spell, a dark circle appeared in the void.
Wizard Bunker quickly sensed the dark circle, and his face immediately turned pale. The “blizzard” spell patterns in his hands were canceled, and the black clouds that had just gathered in the sky disappeared.
When the crossbow arrow reached a very large scale, it would be called Arrow Fury.
Arrow Fury was a very deadly attack. Even with the spell ‘move in a flash’, it was still extremely dangerous for a wizard to be in the range of the Arrow Fury attack.
Wizard Bunker was desperate. Without ‘move in a flash,’ there was no way he could escape the Arrow Fury. He was about to die in the peaceful Holy Continent to pay the price for his greed.
Wizard Nigel saw the rain of flying crossbow arrows. He couldn’t care about the ‘meteor strike’ that had not yet fallen from the sky. He canceled the spell pattern immediately.
Wizard Nigel could no longer rely on the huge shield of the iron puppet after he saw the Arrow Fury attack.
He immediately activated the magic scroll ‘move in a flash.’ All he was thinking at that moment was to get the hell out of that place. Capturing Abel was impossible. It was just like capturing a dwarf in a city full of large-sized crossbows.
However, he encountered the same problem as Wizard Bunker. The ‘move in a flash’ magic scroll just flickered and stopped.
“It’s over now!” There was a moment of regret and despair rising in Wizard Nigel’s heart. The longer he lived, the more he was afraid to die. He would definitely kneel and beg Abel for mercy if he could, but he didn’t get the chance to see Abel’s face. Wizard Nigel didn’t even know that it was only Flora who was against him.
Abel understood Flora’s intentions at the moment. Abel couldn’t help but feel chills after he saw the enticement strategy that was planned by Flora. If he came to command the battle, he wouldn’t have the determination to let Wizard Nigel escape in the first place. Abel preferred to eliminate the threat as long as there was one.
Unexpectedly, Flora was much more ruthless than him, forcing both elite wizards to a dead end.
