Chapter 240 Baruch was seriously injured
Under the huge scale of the beast tide, among the hundreds of snow wolves that came around, there were no less than ten second-level frost wolves and first-level ice wolves. There are even forty or fifty.
Coupled with the golden eyed snow wolf, the alpha wolf of the third ring, and the three to four hundred zero-ring snow wolves, a wolf pack of this size and strength besieged Chief Snover and Balu. The two of them plus an ice-maned tiger.
Even though he knew that Baruch was strong, Gothe couldn't help but sweat for him when he saw this scene.
Baruch looked at the snow wolves that were surrounding them. They were so vast that their vision was blocked.
If it were any other mage who was caught in this situation, he would have been frightened out of his wits.
But Baruch was different. He could still remain calm and calm, and the [Ice Sword] in his hand slightly reflected the moonlight and coldness.
The next moment, those snow wolves, under the signal of the head wolf, the Golden Eyed Snow Wolf, flew towards the two people in the circle, their blue pupils full of ferocity were already glaring. to the maximum.
“[Frost Nova]!”
Baruch cast magic skillfully.
He stretched out his finger and pointed at the center of the wolf pack.
The next moment, a dazzling cold light suddenly burst out from Baruch's fingertips, shining like a comet in the night and spreading quickly.
Following the guidance of Baruch's fingers, a strong cold air instantly erupted in the center of the wolf pack, forming a rapidly expanding ice halo.
This halo quickly expanded outward, like an aurora blooming in the night sky, but it was even more dazzling than the aurora.
Wherever the ice halo passed, the moisture in the air quickly condensed into frost flowers, and the snow on the ground instantly froze into a hard ice shell.
The snow wolves that were rushing toward Baruch and Chief Snover were suddenly enveloped by the sudden cold air.
Under the cold air, their hair was instantly covered with ice crystals, and their movements became sluggish.
The snow wolves rushing at the forefront were even frozen in mid-air.
Their bodies were covered with a thin layer of ice, and in an instant they changed from ferocious and ferocious earth-line creatures to as still as sculptures.
With a snap, the frozen snow wolves fell onto the snow that had been frozen into an ice shell, directly smashing spider cracks on the ice.
The ice halo continued to spread outward.
The surrounding air is filled with biting cold.
Everything involved in the ice halo was instantly covered with a layer of crystal clear frost.
The spherical area with a radius of thirty feet turned into a dreamlike world of ice crystals.
Everything is frozen in this moment.
The whole process is like a gorgeous ice dance, with the cold air flowing in the air and forming beautiful ice crystal patterns.
Just one spell caused the Snow Wolf to lose a lot of its members.
Although the [Frost Nova] released by Baruch had a significant effect, the number of snow wolves was even greater, and under the "supervision" of the golden-eyed snow wolves, each of them behaved fiercely. Not afraid of death.
“Lian!”
Baruch has jumped off the back of the ice-maned tiger and is back to back with Ryan.
He called out, signaling the ice-maned tiger to fight with him.
Ryan bared his fangs and stared at the snow wolves around him with a fierce look.
The status of the ice-maned tiger is definitely higher than that of the snow wolf.
Normally, these snow wolves would never dare to approach and provoke the ice-maned tiger, but now they are ignoring it.
Ouch!
The golden-eyed snow wolf roared again.
The next moment, a new batch of snow wolves immediately swooped forward.
When leyline creatures face attacks from powerful enemies, they usually follow this pattern:
First send out low-level creatures to consume a wave of life, and when the enemies begin to tire, those powerful Only the earth-line creatures will take action again.
Facing the snow wolves that swept in again, Baruch did not use [Frost Nova] again,
Because it is a third-level spell, it consumes a lot of mana and requires a long casting time.
He just clenched the ice sword formed by magic in his hand and looked at the snow wolf that was attacking quickly with a solemn expression.
At this moment, Baruch had already cast multiple buff spells to bless himself.
These include [Oil on the soles of the feet], [Leap Technique] and [Mage Armor], coupled with his superb sword skills and [Ice Sword], now he is like a knight, with incomparable possessions Strong melee combat ability.
At this time, the fastest snow wolves had already arrived in front of Baruch.
Although these snow wolves could feel Baruch's power, they still pounced on Baruch without any hesitation or thinking.
The ice sword in Baruch's hand was quickly picked out, and the snow wolves that flew over were instantly killed.
Blood spattered, but the sharpness and coldness of the ice sword caused the blood to solidify into ice crystals in the blink of an eye in the air.
But this was just the beginning. The snow wolves behind them rushed from almost all directions, forming a dense encirclement.
The ice sword in Baruch's hand kept streaking through the air like lightning, and every swing could take away the life of a low-ring snow wolf.
On the left, the huge ice-maned tiger is also showing its strength.
It roared, with a fierce light flashing in its eyes, and kept swinging out its powerful claws.
Those menacing snow wolves, as long as they were struck by the claws of the ice-maned tiger Ryan, they would immediately fly backwards and fall to the ground screaming.
On the right, Chief Snover continuously releases [Ice Bullet Technique] to attack these snow wolves.
Under his control, the Ice Bullet Technique accurately hit every approaching snow wolf.
Although snow wolves, earth-line creatures, are naturally extremely resistant to ice. Even though Chief Snover is not as strong as Baruch, he is still an ice-born mage in the early stage of the third ring. He still has no way to deal with these low-level snow wolves. problematic.
Each ice bullet will explode after hitting the snow wolf, forming areas of frost.
The ice shell area formed by the [Frost Nova] previously cast by Baruch also restricted the Snow Wolf's movements to a certain extent.
They walk smoothly on the snow, but not so freely on the ice.
Two people and one beast form a triangle.
As the battle continued, Baruch also had moments of negligence, but the [Mage Armor] protected him well, giving him a certain error tolerance.
[Oil on the soles of the feet] makes Baruch more flexible in battle, and [Jumping Technique] allows him to avoid fatal attacks when necessary.
I don’t know how many snow wolves were killed.
Until Patriarch Snover began to pant, he was overwhelmed by situations one after another and was injured many times. Even Baruch had several non-fatal scars on his body.
This is what was left from the attack of the second-ring frost wolf mixed in the snow wolf pack.
These snow wolves, under the supervision of the golden-eyed snow wolves, became as if they were not afraid of death and pounced on Baruch and Chief Snover forever.
The continuous high-intensity sword swings made Baruch's arm muscles begin to ache and he was close to exhaustion.
"If this continues, we will be consumed to death here." At this time, Baruch's voice came from the mind of Patriarch Snover.
[Messaging Technique].
Clan Chief Snover, whose forehead was already sweating, nodded with difficulty, "What should we do?"
In fact, the battle lasted less than three minutes, but for them, it was longer than three hours. Because the intensity was so great, snow wolves would pounce on them every moment. They had to concentrate, keep casting spells or drawing swords, and they had to go all out.
This is like the difference between aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise:
Aerobic exercise may last for an hour without breathing, but anaerobic exercise If you do it for three minutes without taking a break, everyone will have to take a break.
"You have to kill the alpha wolf. Kill it so that these snow wolves will recede and the beast tide will disperse." While fighting, Baruch exchanged opinions with Chief Snover.
"But it is hiding behind now and refuses to come forward. Waiting for us to be exhausted, I am ready to rush in its direction."
Clan Snover was silent for a moment, and then replied: "You Are you sure? ”
This is not an easy decision.
Under the current circumstances, they take care of each other and still have some breathing room.
But once you choose to charge in the direction of the golden-eyed snow wolf, you have to draw your bow without turning back.
Not only must he make sure to kill the golden-eyed snow wolf in one go, but he must also kill him in the shortest possible time, otherwise he is taking the initiative to put himself in danger.
Baruch naturally understood this truth.
But he still nodded silently and gave a positive answer.
"Help me clear the way, I want to save some mana to deal with the golden eyed snow wolf." He said again.
"Okay" Patriarch Snover didn't say anything, he just said "ok" with a heavy voice.
Baruch, who had made his decision, stopped talking. He turned over and jumped onto the back of the ice-maned tiger again.
The ice-maned tiger roared, understanding its master's intention and ready to charge at any time.
Clan Chief Snover, who agreed, roared angrily, withstood the attacks of several snow wolves, and cast the strongest spell he had: "[Snowstorm]!"
As the spell casting ended, he pointed at the snow wolves in the direction of the golden-eyed snow wolves.
Where he pointed his finger, the sky became darker and a chill began to fill the air.
Centered on the point pointed by his finger, biting freezing rain and hail suddenly fell in an area with a radius of 40 feet and a height of 20 feet.
And it was not ordinary hail, but fist-sized ice cubes, which hit the snow wolves in the area with a sound of breaking through the air.
These hailstones are not only extremely dense but also extremely fast. Each piece of hailstone is like a small cannonball, making a crisp sound when it hits the ground.
Following the hail was a burst of dense freezing rain.
This freezing rain is not ordinary rain, but liquid ice crystals with strong cold air.
In addition to causing great damage to the snow wolf and freezing it, they will freeze immediately after falling on the ground, forming a smooth layer of ice on the snow, making the ground extremely slippery.
It will become more difficult for snow wolves to move in such an environment, and some may even slip directly to the ground.
As the spell continued to be released, the snow wolf that had been looming in the night now became chaotic under the blow of hail and freezing rain.
Some snow wolves were howled and screamed after being hit by hail, and their heads were bleeding. Some snow wolves were soaked by the ice rain and then frozen, making their movements stiff and slow. Others were injured by the ground. Slippery and fell.
But this will not have much impact on Baruch.
Because for northern mage, the two spells [Skating] and [Walking on Ice] are bound to be mastered.
Seeing that Chief Snover had opened a small breakthrough for him in the encirclement, Baruch clamped his legs on the Ice-maned Tiger's abdomen, and at the same time, gave the Ice-maned Tiger an [Ice Face walking], decisively start to act.
After receiving the order, the ice-maned tiger immediately shot out like an arrow from a string.
It roared as a tiger, and its speed reached its extreme. It was as fast as an afterimage. It first crossed the ice area formed by the [snow and rain storm], and then directly crashed into the last circle of snow wolves. .
Just like a bowling ball, I don’t know how many snow wolves were knocked away in an instant.
In just the blink of an eye, one man and one tiger rushed out of the snow wolf's encirclement and reached the golden-eyed snow wolf.
The Golden-eyed Snow Wolf never imagined that Baruch, who was surrounded by a bunch of snow wolves, could still play such a trick. Looking at Baruch who had "exploded" on his face, his golden pupils suddenly The ground shrinks.
At this time, Baruch had already jumped up from Ryan's back, like a Spartan warrior descending from the sky, holding an ice sword and stabbing the golden-eyed snow wolf.
His body turned slightly in the air, and the ice sword shone coldly in the moonlight, like a silver lightning piercing the darkness.
At the same time, a wave of magic power flashed across the surface of Baruch's body.
Then, the muscles under his clothes swelled visibly to the naked eye, and the muscle lines on his arms, chest, and legs became more obvious, and his whole person exuded a suffocating sense of power.
【The power of cattle】.
As the spell took effect, Baruch's power surged and reached a peak.
The ice sword drew a perfect arc in the air and went straight to the throat of the golden-eyed snow wolf.
The golden-eyed snow wolf reacted quickly and wanted to dodge.
But it was horrified to find that its movements could not keep up with its thoughts.
Whether it is lifting my feet or exerting force, everything becomes extremely sluggish.
【Slow Technique】!
In this short period of time, Baruch actually completed the casting of a second-level spell and a third-level spell.
Of course, he also paid a certain price to do this, and it was not as easy as he imagined.
Baruch chose to burn his own mana source and forcibly increase his mana intensity in a short period of time, thereby obtaining a faster casting speed.
Original combustion is irreversible.
In game terms, his original mana value is: 50/100. After burning the mana source, even if the mana is fully restored, it may only be 95/95, which is the upper limit.
The Golden-Eyed Snow Wolf, who was hit by the [Slowness Technique], saw that he could not dodge Baruch's sword, and his eyes became ferocious. He no longer avoided the defense, but raised his head and opened it directly. The bloody mouth reveals sharp fangs.
Its intention is also very obvious, what it wants is to exchange injury for injury.
No matter what, its vitality is definitely much stronger than that of humans
But faced with this scene, Baruch did not hesitate or flinch at all.
His momentum was like a rainbow, and the ice sword went straight to the neck of the golden-eyed snow wolf.
Pfft!
In an instant, the ice sword pierced the neck of the golden-eyed snow wolf, instantly freezing the blood in it, and the cold air spread rapidly along the wound.
A hint of disbelief flashed in the golden-eyed Snow Wolf's eyes.
Obviously it did not expect that Baruch would be so brave and fearless, and that his offensive would be so deadly.
The next moment, its fangs also pierced into Baruch's abdomen.
Baruch suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
The sharp fangs of the golden-eyed snow wolf had completely penetrated into his body at this moment.
He gritted his teeth, held back the pain, and continued to penetrate the golden-eyed snow wolf's body with the ice sword.
The golden-eyed snow wolf howled in pain, its body twitching violently, and at the same time it used all its strength in its jaws, trying to tear Baruch directly apart.
However, the [Mage Armor] that Baruch had previously cast bought him precious time at this time, and the Golden Eyed Snow Wolf failed to tear Baruch's body apart as he wished at the first time.
No matter how severe the pain in his abdomen was, it could not shake Baruch's firm determination at this time.
The ice sword penetrated deeply into the body of the golden-eyed snow wolf and began to stir. With Baruch's movements, the golden-eyed snow wolf's strength gradually weakened, and its body began to become stiff, and finally collapsed weakly on the land.
Seeing that the golden-eyed snow wolf had lost its vitality, Baruch let out the breath he was holding, and the severe pain from his abdomen completely swallowed up his consciousness.
