Chapter 43 Chaos Messenger
——“Ice Sword Explodes!”
The human sword mage’s long brown hair was flying, and his silver-gray cold eyes locked onto the three charging drows Warrior.
I saw her lightly opening her jade lips, quickly muttering a spell in a low voice, and the palm of her left hand was suddenly filled with awe-inspiring ice energy.
Immediately afterwards, she gently stroked her left hand, filled with energy, over the silvery rune sword in her right hand.
"Crack!"
There was an imperceptible sound, and frost crystals instantly covered the surface of the sword blade.
The sword mage's delicate and beautiful face was cold, as if dancing, the rune sword swept around her slender body, and suddenly released a strange freezing cold mist.
The moment the three rushing drow warriors broke into the mist, their horrified expressions were instantly frozen on their ebony faces, and the ice spread across their bodies at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into crystal clear ice sculptures. .
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Explosions came and went, like a frozen lake breaking.
The three ice sculptures of drow warriors were instantly shattered into pieces.
——"Thunder and explosion!"
The sword mage's attack did not stop. She raised the rune sword high, and the blade with the luster of mithril vibrated at high frequency, outlining the deep shapes. Purple lightning rune.
“Boom!”
Along with the roar of thunder, a bolt of lightning tore through the darkness. Under the guidance of the sword mage's rune sword, it was like a waterfall of noise, falling without warning on the head of a drow wizard who was chanting a spell.
The drow wizard's solemn expression dissolved into panic, his sparse strands of hair stood up straight, twisting like the snake on Medusa's head, his skinny body convulsed and shook, screaming in pain Wailing and turning into a charred corpse.
——"Flame Wave Attack!"
At the same time as the drow wizard died, the sword mage once again placed the rune sword across her chest. As she whispered a powerful spell, the sword blade The crisscrossed occult symbols on it shined with bursts of silver light.
Suddenly, the raging arcane flames swallowed up the rune blade in an instant, reflecting the cold face of the sword mage.
She was seen holding the sword tightly, locking her cold silver-gray eyes on the enemy, turning into a flame, and appeared at a dizzying speed in front of a drow priestess who just raised the snake-head whip.
The priestess looked frightened and hurriedly put up her defensive magic.
“Go to hell!”
The sword mage’s silver-gray eyes narrowed slightly, and his graceful voice was extremely cold. The rune sword wrapped in arcane flames slashed at the drow mercilessly. The priestess's shaky defensive magic.
In the blink of an eye, the raging flames exploded, engulfing the screaming priestess in the sea of fire.
He is indeed a sword mage!
After Brian eliminated his opponents, he found that he had no opponents for the time being, so he looked with interest at the human girl who had completed the pentakill not far away.
He is quite familiar with the sword mage profession.
To put it simply, it is a profession inherited from the ancient race of eladrin. They study ancient magic traditions, practice swordsmanship, and perfectly use arcane energy for physical attacks.
Similar to his War Mage profession, it is also a profession that applies arcane arts to melee combat.
While mastering basic arcane principles, sword mages also undergo extensive physical training.
The big difference between the two professions of War Mage and Sword Mage is that if you want to be a Sword Mage, you must have an exclusive rune sword that establishes a contract.
In fact, Brian was the first to consider this career.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how to make a rune sword, so in the end he had to settle for a battle mage, which had a relatively easy job difficulty.
The so-called exclusive rune sword is actually equivalent to a piece of magic equipment for the sword mage. After leaving the owner, it will automatically return to the owner's hands when summoned. Like the Juggernaut, their exclusive contracted weapons can not only grow with their owners, but also can be restored by reshaping the fragments through meditation after the weapons are destroyed.
Rune swords are part of themselves, both mind and body, full of terrifying power.
If it is a sword mage without a rune sword, it is undoubtedly no different from a tiger without teeth.
In the Battle Mage Legion of the Kingdom of Cormyr, the Battle Mage originally belonged to the extreme school of specialization in energy evocation, but the professional characteristics of the Sword Mage are even more extreme than the Battle Mage.
To find a job in this profession, in addition to spending a lot of time on close combat training, you must also master superb swordsmanship.
Because this sword mage, who is inherited from the ancient eladrin race known for its dexterity and arcane skills, uses his superb swordsmanship to use or guide arcane magic into close combat.
The combat skills of sword mages are enhanced by their spells. Attacks come not only from the rune swords in their hands, but also from fire, frost, lightning or other powerful forces.
If the battle mage is compared to a long-range turret, then the sword mage functions like a precise strike mage assassin.
It is precisely because of the extreme nature of this profession that the requirements and talents for employment are particularly high.
Even among the war mage legions of the Kingdom of Cormyr, the number of sword mages they have is very rare.
But almost every sword mage who has successfully taken up his position holds a high position in the battle mage corps.
From the flames ejected from the rune sword of the sword mage in front of him, Brian could clearly feel that the opponent was not only a sword mage, but also successfully upgraded his sword mage profession to the Chaos Messenger.
This is the ‘Blade of Subversion’ order composed of elemental sword mages.
This sword mage sect developed thousands of years ago. With the brief union of the twin worlds of Abel and Toril during the 'Arcane Catastrophe', the 'Blade of Subversion' Genasi followers brought this ancient tradition to the Kingdom of Cormyr.
The practitioners of this sect harness the power of elemental chaos and completely destroy their enemies with rapid bursts of energy. They are mainly famous for their spectacular violence and gorgeous style.
Similar sword mage schools, in addition to the Chaos Messengers controlled by the Kingdom of Cormyr, there are actually two more famous schools.
In the ancient elven kingdom of Cormanthor.
Since the distant Crown War, the elves have begun to study the way of the sword mage and gradually perfected it.
These elf mages use the elegance and reserved elf warfare of their own race to embed arcane magic into enchantments and armor, allowing arcane magic and swordsmanship to be seamlessly integrated, forming a unique school: Mian The royal guard.
This school can also be called the ‘Kingsguard’.
With the continuous destruction, reconstruction and changes of the elven kingdom, the sword mage preachers of this genre are now the only ones left in the elves' Evergathering Island and Silvermoon City in the North.
The last school originates from the Shade Empire established by the descendants of the Netherese people in the great desert of Aenook in the north of the Kingdom of Cormyr - the only fully preserved floating city during the Arcane Empire. .
The Shadow Mage living in the floating city combined the abilities of the Arcanist and the racial characteristics of the Shadow, and independently developed an advanced profession exclusive to the Shadow Sword Mage: Shadow Guard Assassin.
The Shadow Guard Assassin is also called the ‘Shadow Sword Master’.
Known as the 'Lord of Shadows and Steel Swords', he perfectly combines the combat skills of Netherese warriors with the arcane magic of the ghost mages.
Their blades blend darkness, magic, and the subtle skills of the Shadow Lords into a perfect art of shadow magic assassination.
Brian has personally experienced the pain of being transformed into a shadow by a Shadow Guard assassin in the shadows and chasing down half of the map. This is under the premise that he has mastered a large number of teleportation spells.
He felt a headache when he thought that if he planned to establish a foothold in the territory of the Kingdom of Cormyr, he would have to face the eagerly looking ghost mages.
However, if he really decides to rebuild the glory of arcane magic, then the evil force of Ghost City will inevitably have to be faced.
Because before he was reborn, the wizards of Halua and the mages of Shade City, the two remnants of Netheril from the Arcane Empire, all regarded themselves as orthodox subjects of the Arcane Empire. Then they called each other traitors who had lost their traditions.
The two sides competed for territory, ruins from ancient times, and even control of the Memory Tower, the mausoleum of the Felin Demon Kui, in the great desert of Enook.
The consequences of the melee between the two major magical civilizations can be imagined, which directly led to the awakening of the Felin Demon Sun's nest.
Countless phaerinns woke up from their slumber and continued to attack the land under their feet, using spires to absorb the power of life and magic
