Chapter 94 The Fall
What Bennett didn’t expect was that when the aftermath of the formal witchcraft [Thunder of Destruction] burned into the scroll dissipated, there were two figures standing in the hazy smoke.
"Not... not dead?" Bennett blinked in disbelief. Although he was ready for a last-ditch attack, in his heart he didn't think Lucian and Maelubelli could survive the witchcraft just now. Survived a magical attack.
After all, that was his last resort. In order to ensure that the effective killing range of the witchcraft could include Lucian and Maelubelli, he even sacrificed Fiya's life.
You must know that this is an absolutely loyal third-level wizard apprentice who has been working together for many years and has a very tacit understanding. The value to him is very high, not to mention the sacrifice he just made for this killing move. A witchcraft scroll that has been treasured for many years.
If only Maelubelli survives, Bennett can still understand. After all, although the aura she just burst out is a bit violent and unstable, it can be regarded as the level of a formal wizard. Perhaps she used some special means to achieve it. He saved his life in the attack just now.
But why did Lucian do it?
If I remember correctly, it seems that Lucian was in some danger in the academy not long ago. He even needed to kill a second-level wizard apprentice to prove that he had the strength to protect himself. He was among the strongest third-level wizard apprentices. The weaker group.
But now Lucian's condition seems to be better than that of Maelubelli beside him. Even judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be seriously injured.
This is [Destruction Thunder], which is famous for its violent attacks. Even among the official witchcraft, it is considered to be a relatively powerful one. Even the official wizards deal with this move more by evading it than by avoiding it. Resist hard.
But Lucian was able to bear it.
"Did...he broke through in the ruins?" Bennett looked at Lucian with some uncertainty, but he quickly rejected his idea.
After all, judging from the many information he has, it is impossible for a formal wizard to enter this ruins!
But Bennett didn't have much time to think at this time. After all, every extra second he delayed now was giving Lucian and Maelubelli one more second to recover. He must take advantage of the advantage created by the witchcraft just now and kill the two most difficult opponents directly.
"Fortunately, I saved a hand." Lucian looked down at the scrapped witchcraft pendant on his chest, breathed out gently, and then took out a tube of perfect recovery potion from the space ring and poured it into his mouth. .
The moment the head maid Fiya rushed up to entangle him, he sensed something was wrong. However, he was also entangled by the other party, and witchcraft such as shadow sneaking could not be used for a while.
So when he sensed the powerful witchcraft scroll released by Bennett, in addition to activating the witchcraft model [Moon Curtain·Change] that he had already arranged, he also used the one he had replaced before this operation. Defensive magic tools are directly stimulated.
The combination of the two weakened the terrifying and destructive witchcraft power by more than 90%.
Fortunately, this witchcraft scroll was released by a third-level wizard apprentice like Bennett. The witchcraft can last for a short time. If the witchcraft lasted longer, Lucian would be able to use it while the witchcraft continued to work. If the moonlighting effect had disappeared, then he would be in trouble.
Compared to Lucian's side, the goblin leader Maelubelli's condition is much more miserable.
At this time, her body had turned into the appearance of a tree giant. It was obvious that she had just managed to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment brought by the thunder of destruction by transforming into the body of a tree demon.
However, Maelubelli's body was covered with dense wounds, exposing the wooden structure inside. The deepest wound even exposed the pure white tree core on Maelubelli's back. .
If Maelubelli was not a tree demon at this time but her own elf body, I am afraid that this injury was a fatal wound that penetrated her heart and was enough to kill her.
But even for a special being like a tree demon with rough skin and flesh, this kind of injury is very serious and requires a long period of rest to recover.
But now, Maelubelli obviously doesn't have time.
After all, she relied on burning her bloodline to unleash the combat power of a formal wizard. But at this time, in a severely injured state, the bloodline curse that was temporarily suppressed by burning her bloodline was showing signs of backlash. Let alone fighting at this time, I'm afraid whether she can rely on her own strength to suppress the curse in her body is a question.
Like now, the front surface of her dryad is covered with a layer of hideous lines like thin black snakes, and those curses like maggots on the tarsus are on the verge of exploding.
"Sir!" The eyes of the few surviving half-elves had horror and despair.
But the one who is more desperate at this time is Maelubelli herself, because she has seen Bennett rushing towards her at this time, obviously coming to hit him.
She didn't go to see Lucian, and she knew that this enemy would never be able to help her. After all, he is not only a competitor, but also a foreigner to Lucian.
She looked at Bennett, who was rushing towards him, with a hint of despair in her eyes, but the next moment, the despair in her eyes turned into madness.
Brush - She flew back, not even caring if she was injured during the flight.
But her target was the Wicker Man who was still driving the flame elves to attack.
"Not good." Bennett looked at Maelubelli who was retreating violently at this time, and understood what his opponent was thinking.
But at this time, he could no longer stop Maelubelli, especially since she had a "helper" to help her. "Hahahahaha..." Maelubelli's laughter was shrill. At this time, she was caught by the flaming palm of the Wicker Man, and her body was already burning with those rapid yellow flames.
Unlike other sorcerer apprentices who were forcibly captured, Maelubelli actively used her mental power and body as fuel for this special flame, accelerating her transformation into a flame elf.
"You can't even think about it if I die!" Maelubelli glanced at Bennett and Lucian sternly, then her body accelerated burning and shrunk rapidly during the burning process.
Even at the last moment of her life, Maelubelli no longer cared about the curse of her bloodline and forcibly broke through the bottleneck that had troubled her all her life.
boom--
The next moment, Maelubelli's body exploded and turned into dots of yellow and reddish flames. The flames gathered again, but formed a body that was slightly larger than other flame elves, and formed a body. The flame is a kind of yellow with blood red flame spirit.
But this flame elf transformed by Maelubelli suddenly exuded an aura that truly belonged to the official wizard level. Even the Wicker Man at this time was under its "charge", and his body was surrounded by... The yellow flame also carried a hint of blood red.
"grown ups!"
"No!"
The faces of the surviving half-elves showed despair. As Maelbelly's complete transformation into the flame elf was completed, their hearts fell to the bottom following her fall.
"Bah——" At this time, this formal wizard-level flame elf had already jumped out of the flame hotbed that gave it new life, and rushed towards Bennett with a vicious chirping sound. The hatred in its body was completely ignited at this moment, and it seemed like a demon struggling to come out of hell to die with its past enemies.
"I...I can't die..." Bennett looked at the flame elf rushing towards him with a look of reluctance in his eyes. Tiny threads appeared on the surface of his body, and together with some witchcraft tools taken out from the storage space, they formed a defensive wall.
But the high temperature brought by the flame elf's approach had already caused his hair to twist slightly, and it also gave off a smell that was almost like burning feathers.
At this moment, Bennett couldn't help but think of many things.
The excitement and pride he felt when he was ahead of his family members when he qualified for the Junior Test.
The tension he felt when he first ventured out of the academy when he was a second-level wizard apprentice, and designed to trap other companions at the time, including Fia, and transform them into his most loyal slaves through the secret technique of puppets. .
There was his excitement when he sang all the way and was recognized as the next generation heir of the family.
There are also anger and unwillingness to try to get promoted in the secret room, but someone secretly tampered with them, causing their level to fall.
What’s more, before leaving, his father’s trembling hands gave him his savings.
"Father... I may have let you down." Bennett said silently in his heart. At the moment when the defensive wall in front of him was about to collapse, his expression became calm.
Not willing? Maybe a little, but he has done everything he can. The rest is just a matter of bad luck.
Facing the flame elf that was about to hit him, Bennett closed his eyes.
Bang--
At the last moment, Bennett directly detonated his own spiritual sea. Suddenly, the violent mental power turned into shock waves, and even the flames on the flame elf's body were slightly distorted, ripples appeared, and even the body became dimmed.
"Bah——" But I don't know if it is because the hatred in life has been completely transferred to the flame elf. Therefore, even after experiencing the explosion just now, the flame elf still seemed to rush towards me reluctantly. The blazing flames emanating from Nate's remains directly burned and annihilated some of Bennett's remnants.
After doing all this, the flame elf looked at its other enemy, Lucian, and the spiteful face in the flames became even more ferocious.
Brush - but the next moment, she still got back into the Wicker Man's body, and inside the burning flame chest, she began to draw on the strength of the Wicker Man to repair the recent injuries.
Perhaps it was because the flame elf had reached the official wizard level and the wicker man who helped it repair its body was still only at the peak of the third-level wizard apprentice, so the flame elf's recovery speed was a bit slow.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lucian did not dare to hesitate and quickly condensed a moon blade, directly killing the two flame elves still raging on the field.
