Chapter 314 Bad Luck
The victory of the siege battle has been confirmed, and the Subia Demon Kingdom army is escaping through the reserved exit.
But Viola's army did not cheer, but focused their attention on the sky near the Watcher's Fortress.
From the ground, it was hard to see clearly what was going on. You could only vaguely see two figures wrapped in magical auras entangled in the sky like meteors, and from time to time they would throw deadly rays and energy balls at each other's faces. .
It is difficult for outsiders to get involved in the battle between mages, especially for combat professionals. Once it turns into an aerial battle, they can only watch.
After all, there is no fighting spirit that turns into a horse and flies through the air. No matter how strong a warrior is, if he can't fly, he just can't fly. After level 30, mages will gradually expand the combat area into the sky. They can mix with high-level mages and above, and they are experts in aerial combat.
But having said that, the situation is still very unfavorable for Ao Dai.
Alais's level is much higher than that of Aldai. He is at least level 50, and even above 60. He is already a legendary mage. If he goes one step further, he will enter the realm of demigods. Even if he has countless positions In the multiverse world, he can also be regarded as the number one figure.
Aldai, a high-level mage, sounds awesome, but in fact, from a global perspective, he has just escaped from the level of a bastard.
Although high level does not necessarily mean high combat effectiveness, the level advantage brings about improved abilities in all aspects.
Alais's spells are more lethal than Aldai, their status spell immunity level is higher, and their defensive spells have better protective effects. In other words, their basic abilities in all aspects are much stronger than Aldai's.
Her advantage is that she is young and has a promising future, but she is still in a phased state.
And even if there is no level difference, Lich still has a great advantage.
Liches are a type of undead creature. They are immune to negative energy damage, immune to mind control, immune to poison, and are not effective against cold and acid damage.
And although lichs look similar to skeletons in appearance, they don't have the weakness of skeletons in being afraid of blunt blows. The strength of a skeleton is far greater than that of fine steel, so there is no problem of Faye being weak.
This gives them an advantage in battles between spellcasters.
Because the battle between spellcasters can be simply summarized as a battle to see who can blast through the opponent's defense first. Generally, after the defense is penetrated, the battle can be ended as long as a very weak spell hits, and the lich has no physical The disadvantage, even if there is no defense, cannot be solved by any spell.
Aldai's only advantage right now is her fighting skills.
Alais is a pure academic. Although he is a high-level and a lich, he actually doesn't have many opportunities to do it himself. When he was in the academic city, any research materials needed were directly entrusted to adventurers.
Aldai, on the other hand, is overly curious and often goes on field inspections. She has much more combat experience and skills than Alais.
This is also the reason why she can insist on gesticulating with the lich. If the two are on the same level, Aldai will definitely not be able to hold on for long, not to mention being killed instantly.
Turning around to let go of a negative energy ray, Aldai stepped back with her staff without looking back, and fired back three bright red scorching rays.
Then she swooped down, seemingly trying to shake Alais away.
The Lich, on the other hand, didn't care at all about the scorching rays coming from him. This level of magic would be absorbed by the spell invalidation barrier on his body. He followed Aldai and dived in, trying to bite the opponent at the six o'clock position.
He stretched out a finger and pointed it at Aldai's back. Magical light gathered at his fingertips, dazzling like intense lightning, as if he was preparing a powerful spell.
But almost at the same time that the spell was ready to go off, Alais felt like he had hit something transparent.
--boom!
The explosion and flames enveloped the Lich in an instant, and a large fireball with a diameter of five or six meters suddenly ignited in the sky.
Although the Lich has great advantages, it is not without its shortcomings.
First of all, after becoming a lich, the characteristics of a living person disappear, such as the various resistances possessed by the original race.
Secondly, lichs are undead creatures, and undead creatures have the weakness of being afraid of positive energy and fire damage.
The range of positive energy is relatively wide, such as sunlight or sacred energy. That is, no matter how awesome the lich is, he can easily burn himself to death if he basks in the sun.
"Floating booby traps? Where did you learn this kind of thing?"
Alais's skull passed through the flames, looking a little surprised.
In his impression, Aldai was a mage who was good at conjuration and transformation schools. He was not interested in the evocation school and only knew some low-level evocation spells.
However, Aldai did not answer him. The Lich left the flames and immediately saw the air velocity in the surrounding airspace increasing rapidly. Two huge tornadoes mixed with snowflakes rolled over from the left and right sides.
The explosive fireball was torn apart by the tornado in an instant, and Alais flew diagonally upward, trying to escape from the killing range before the tornado closed.
As everyone knows, his actions were completely within Aldai's expectations.
Just as he was about to fly away from the gap diagonally above, a magic circle suddenly lit up, and a boulder the size of a heavy truck tire rolled out from it. Boulder trap, a classic conjuration school spell.
Even if the Lich's bones are harder than steel, it would be difficult for such a big stone to hit him. The defensive spell collided with the boulder and a layer of sparks exploded. The Lich stretched out his hand to grab the stone above, accompanied by a thunderous giant. The ringing boulder was split into two.
However, due to this delay, the tornadoes on both sides had already squeezed in, pressing the lich in the middle, as if being squeezed between two large millstones.
But despite the hit, the damage caused by Aldai's spell to the Lich was still very limited, and it could not even defeat the Lich's magic shield. It could only temporarily immobilize it.
Aldai, what is needed is to immobilize him temporarily.
On the opposite side of the tornado, Aldai came to a sudden stop, her fingers constantly changing spell-casting gestures, and she muttered words.
The sound of the curse seemed to shake the air, causing circles of ripples visible to the naked eye to appear around it, whispering a long poem of killing.
The blue jade on the top of her staff glowed with intense white aura, and a ball of light was then emitted.
The red light in the Lich's eyes jumped violently. It was a spell from the Evocation School, Yang Yan Explosion.
A moment later, the ball of light hit the Lich and exploded a thousandth of a second later.
The huge cross-shaped flash fell into the mid-air like a divine sword flying from heaven, and its brightness was so high that it could even be seen as far away as Sailing City.
The night sky was illuminated in an instant, and the vibrating energy violently released its authority.
However, in the flash of the cross, the lich's voice was as calm as a machine:
"Bigby's Grasping Palm."
A force field palm flashing with colorful spiritual light flew out from it. Aldai had no time to dodge, and was caught directly, as if holding a figure, unable to move at all.
At this time, the light of the Yangyan Explosion disappeared, and the rising steam could still be seen on the Lich. There were many cracks in the bones that were originally as smooth as jade, and the Yangyan Explosion had caused him a lot of damage.
But that's all.
The level gap is too big. Aldai's spell power is still not strong enough. Even if she hits the weak point, she can't even hit it for a second.
"Let me praise you a little. At least I am definitely not as powerful as you at your age."
The Lich was already confident of winning, and he slowly floated towards the tied Aldai.
"You have no chance of winning if you are my enemy. Even if your Yangyan blast takes effect, I will still come back."
The lich cannot be killed. Even if its bones are crushed into powder, the lich can be perfectly resurrected after a week.
The only way to completely kill a lich is to destroy his phylactery, otherwise no matter how many times you kill him, the lich will come back.
What surprised Alais was that Aldai still didn't have any excited emotions. Although he also knew that Aldai was usually very cold, but in this case she didn't care at all, which was also surprising.
"Expected."
Aldai said lightly:
"I just want to test on you how much I have improved during this period. From the beginning, I didn't think I could win."
These words made Lich feel even more surprised. Since you thought you couldn't win from the beginning, why did you continue to fight?
This is not logical.
The lich's rationality made him distrust emotional impulses, so Aldai must have other plans.
This feeling became clearer when he saw the slightly raised corners of Aldai's eyes. He knew that Aldai would only have this kind of micro-expression when she was in a very good mood.
A strong crisis suddenly flashed through the Lich's heart.
"I've had enough fun."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sense of crisis in Lich's heart reached its peak, and he couldn't help but look up.
A fist the size of a heavy truck appeared from the void. He didn't even have time to make any dodge movements, and was hit with a clang.
Almost instantly, the lich's bones, which were harder than steel, were shattered into pieces, and even the broken bone fragments began to burn. In the blink of an eye, the lich's body had disappeared, leaving only a tattered robe and a white birch wood spell. The staff fell downwards.
"I told you, your luck has never been very good."
