Chapter 340 The Ridiculed Prince of Shadows
The strong wind blew, causing the grass among the ruins to ripple and the tall oak trees to rustle. Clouds passed over the surface of the moon, and the moonlight fell on the ruins from time to time. The few remaining walls were bathed in pale light and undulating shadows.
“Found it!”
Standing among the ruins, Agrila suddenly opened her light red eyes, then raised her hand and waved, a portal filled with shadow energy appeared. appeared in front of everyone.
"Just get in like this?" Ecacia saw the ruins of a ruined tower inside through the oval portal, and said: "This is the place where the Elminster Tower was destroyed. , the space is twisted and chaotic, it may not be that easy to catch up with him immediately.”
"That's right." Agrela nodded thoughtfully and expressed her speculation, "But he did not choose to escape, but hid in the surrounding space. It seemed that he wanted to imitate what we did just now. Wait for us to jump into the trap together.”
After he opened the portal, he did not choose to teleport immediately, because he knew that the cunning mage lord of Mokou Town would never give up easily. A chance to enter Arokar's lair.
In order to prevent falling into the opponent's trick, he must find a way to get rid of it.
This is mainly for the Lost Lady's plan, and also to prevent the accident of the dark ritual. This time, he will never worry about whether Brian's soul can escape.
Although in his opinion, they only need to wait patiently and guard Arokar's lair, and the other party will probably come to their door automatically, but this is not what he wants to see.
After all, this may also mean that the opponent chooses to give up temporarily because of fear of their strength, and then joins the battle against the Black Hope Legion led by Seluer.
If the armed forces of Shadow Valley really defeat the Black Hope Legion, then even Agrila will not be absolutely sure to deal with the enemy that will greet them.
Especially the Elf Expeditionary Force's 'Crowned One' Ilseveri, and the Elf Mage Silinci who lives in seclusion in Mis Drannor.
In this urgent situation, if Brian can inadvertently break into the lair with self-righteousness, then they will cooperate with the lich inside and then work together to kill him.
So, under the eyes of the arcane law opened by Lamorak, he wanted to see what methods the man who could kill the black dragon Despiel and destroy the Dark Grand Canyon plan had.
"Then what should we do?" Ecacia asked.
“What should we do?” Agrela raised her eyelids and glanced at him, seeming to have thought of something, and chuckled: “Of course I want you to go in first to explore the way, and the three of us will arrive soon. "
At this moment, he has confirmed that Brian is definitely hiding near the ruins of Elminster's tower and has not left yet. Faced with this situation, he is not anxious anymore.
“Let me?” Ecacia stared at Agrila, “Why do you let me explore the way? You know that this kid named Brian has probably prepared an ambush in advance. You want us to jump in together, and you let me go first. Are you trying to avenge yourself? You don’t like women, and I don’t have any hatred towards you, right?”
“Because you are one of the four of us? "The most flexible person." Agrela explained to him, "Even if you are really caught in a trap, you can still escape."
Yada on the side nodded in agreement, and the Shadow Sword Saint Oripa, who was leaning against the big tree, silently used the shadow energy to repair his ancient Nether Sword, as if he didn't care about anything that happened next. matter.
"That's what I said." Ecacia nodded, agreeing with Agrila's words, and then said, "But what if I really fall into the trap and get killed?" What to do?”
This seemed to be a worried word, but the tone of the ghost ranger was very calm, as if he didn’t care about his life or death at all, and looked at Aigre with his bright eyes. When pulling, there is also a hint of expectation.
"If you really die due to an accident, I promise you that I will help you transform into a lich." Agrela saw through Ecacia's mind at a glance. He took out a scroll and handed it to him. :
"According to my understanding, Brian's best spell is the evocation school, and he is also very skilled in the use of "Sun Flame Explosion", so the moment you step into the portal, you will immediately Activate this scroll. ”
As a legendary spellcaster with both Sinnoh and Sinnoh cultivation, he naturally knows the characteristics and weaknesses of the ghost race, and has already researched many targeted spells in advance.
“Are you serious?” Ecacia took the scroll and looked at Agrela, “Are you really willing to help me transform into a lich?”
“That’s right.” Agrela Rila nodded slightly, "This way you can pursue the witch openly."
It is very easy for a spellcaster to transform into a lich, but Ecacia's profession is a ranger, and he wants to retain all his strength while , transforming him from a ghost into a lich, two or three hundred years ago, would have been a very difficult thing for Agrila, but now he has already developed a method to transform the ghost lich, which only consumes The materials and resources are too large, and he has not yet invested in real experiments.
When this mission is over, it will be a good time to try it with Ecacia, he thought as he glanced at the ranger beside him thoughtfully.
"You still know me best." Ecacia happily patted Agrila on the shoulder and continued to chatter, "When I really become a lich, I will go to Arokar as soon as possible. You have to know that the emptiness inside this kind of woman who has been a lich for thousands of years is absolutely so strong that it makes people feel terrible. If I talk to her again at this time..."
"Why are there so many nonsense, hurry up and give me Get out!" Agrela frowned and kicked Ecacia impatiently. With the help of magic, she kicked the opponent into the portal on the spot.
The moment Ecacia stepped into the teleportation array, Brian, who was waiting patiently on the other side, instantly noticed something strange, and immediately increased his vigilance and prepared for battle.
He knew that the ghost prince Agrila was an extremely cautious spell caster, and it would be very difficult for him to fall into the trap he had set in advance, so he did not dare to be careless.
If he was given a choice, he would not want to fight these four ghost princes at all. The battle just now seemed easy, but in fact he was already on the verge of death and struggled back and forth several times.
If it weren't for the one-time life-saving tool Azara gave him before leaving, he would have left it in the ruins of the harsh city.
Seeing that the surrounding space had begun to distort, Brian knew that the enemy was coming soon. With his understanding of the Prince of Shadows, he understood that Agrilla would never bring anyone in with him. He would definitely Send a clone like he did against the orc Manrazon, or let other princes explore the way.
Just as he expected, with the flickering light of the magic circle, what appeared in his sight turned out to be a living ghost prince.
——"Sun Flame Explosion!"
Seeing this, Brian released the spell he had prepared for a long time without hesitation.
The moment a ball of incandescent light rose in the sky, a dazzling flash suddenly erupted. The intense heat emitted by the light ignited all the grass in the ruins.
Looking at the effect of the spell, Brian thought that this eighth-level spell, which he had used various metamagic specialties to strengthen, would at least make him fade away even if it could not kill the Prince of Shadows. Skin.
However, something unexpected happened to him. At the moment when the incandescent light ball exploded, the ghost prince who appeared was suddenly surrounded by a bright barrier.
This defensive barrier seems to be composed of countless small reflective chips. The moment it blocks the "Sun Flame Explosion", the crystal barrier suddenly flashes, like countless dazzling High beam, shining on Brian's eyes at the same time.
Brian's expression changed slightly, and he closed his eyes in time while opening the spiritual defense barrier in the lightning flash.
At the same time, he did not hesitate to activate his powerful killing move, which was composed of the ninth-level superpower "Tornado Storm", Curse Fire Vortex, and "Arcane Storm".
In an instant, a tide of energy surged out of Brian's body and turned into a wild storm, rolling towards the Prince of Shadows who was suddenly approaching, successfully interrupting his sneak attack.
Even after blocking the attack of the Prince of Shadows, Brian still felt a dark purple whip made of condensed shadow energy, lashing his body firmly.
His expression suddenly became a little weird, because the whip hit his protective barrier softly. Although it was not strong, it actually contained a strong spiritual attack.
Brian's ears were instantly filled with noisy screams, and his mind was in a mess. Frightening images that did not belong to his memory jumped out uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, he was shrouded in a large thick shadow, and the dark purple whip was like a tentacle, tightly wrapped around his body, as if to force him into the shadow position noodle.
Shar's Whip!
Brian immediately recognized this spell. It is a legendary spell that can only be mastered by the legendary Shadow Demon Web mentor who believes in the Lost Lady. Like his Star Sword, it can be released in advance and serve as a weapon. to use, which comes with various powerful effects.
Feeling the shadow energy surging in the air, Brian knew that he must not be reluctant to fight at this time. When Agrila and others arrived, he would not be so lucky to have teleportation to save his life.
With a thought, he cast a high-level dispelling spell to dissipate the energy dragging him to the shadow plane, and then used a teleportation spell to disappear from the place.
Seeing Brian disappear, the ghost prince Ekasia did not chase him, but looked towards the void on the other side.
“There is no ambush here.” Seeing that Agrila and the others were late, he expressed his speculation, “This kid wanted to sneak attack me, but I saw it through in advance.”
"I already know." Agrela meditated slightly. After the dark orange lens on his right eye floated with a magical light, he stretched out his finger and opened a portal, "Follow me and catch up. I want to Let's see where he can escape."
"Aren't you afraid of an ambush this time?" Ecacia couldn't help but ask.
"I have asked Lamorak to use the Eye of Arcane to scan all of the Valley of Shadows." Agrela snorted coldly, "His every move is all under my control."
said After finishing, he stepped in without hesitation, and the other three princes followed closely.
On the other side, Brian had just arrived in a vast wilderness through a teleportation spell, and he instantly sensed the following space fluctuations.
He immediately guessed that the reason why Agrila was able to find the trajectory of his escape so quickly was definitely with the help of the Ghost Tower in the Floating City.
He stood there and meditated for a moment. Through the spiritual link established in advance, he exchanged a few words with Myrcella who guarded the Wizard Tower, and then appeared in other locations in the Shadow Valley through the teleportation spell.
As Brian left, before the figures of Agrella and others emerged from the magic circle, they were once again enveloped in the light of the magic circle, following the disappearing Brian.
Under the dim night, Brian and the ghost princes staged a back-and-forth chase between teleportation spells.
They have appeared in many areas such as the ruins of Shadow Valley, Old Skull Mountain, Silver Mirror Mill, Asaba River, Foggy Valley Mountain, etc. The two are often the ones where Brian has just shown his body, and Egg Rila and others appeared soon after, and Brian activated the teleportation spell without hesitation and ran away, and the latter immediately chased after them.
After more than a dozen consecutive confrontations, Agrela and others once again appeared in Toad Hill in Shadow Valley.
"The sixth one has already begun to complain." The second prince Yada said to Agrila, who was frowning deeply. "He said that if he continues to chase like this, the energy of the Yinhun Tower may not be able to bear it."
"He's farting! I know how much energy there is in the Ghost Tower." Agrela said with a gloomy expression:
"The other party can always detect our arrival before us and escape in advance. Obviously he also did it with the help of the wizard tower. Since he wants to play, then let him play with him. I want to see who will be the first to be unable to hold on in the end. I can take this opportunity to even his Mokou Get rid of it all together!”
“Huh? Why is there a note on this tree?” Aigrela was about to follow it, but the sharp-eyed Ecacia was not far away. I found something unexpected in the tree.
Agrila frowned and looked over.
He saw the note on the tree trunk that read: Hello Mr. Agrella, I am very curious as to why you keep chasing me, if you really plan to keep chasing me. , please turn to the second page.
Only then did everyone see that the note really hid the second page. Agrela looked confused. After carefully confirming that the note was not dangerous, he waved his hand and opened the second page out of curiosity:
Why do you owe me so much? Are you really going to chase me all the time? Are you a dog? Aren't you afraid that I will lead you into a trap that I have set in advance and then take your life?
I’m really impressed with you. If you had been so determined to pursue her when you were unrequitedly in love with Brycece, the North Star lady, would you still be single like a dog until now?
Well, if you, a single person who has lived for thousands of years, want to continue chasing me, then you must be careful that I will suddenly look back on you and take your life!
The cool breeze blows, and the air in Toad Hill seems to suddenly become solid. The reason why this place is called Toad Hill is because every spring, there are always left traces on the riverbanks submerged by the rising river. Lots of toads and frogs.
But there were no frogs and toads in the cold winter season, only the four ghost princes stared silently at the note left by Brian.
“Puch!”
In the end, after the seemingly long but short-lived tranquility, Ecacia ignored Agrella’s murderous gaze and couldn’t help laughing.
