Chapter 111 Trap (Part 2)

For wizards of too low a level, the higher the level of the magic weapon is, the better it is.

Taking a first-level wizard as an example, under normal circumstances, their combat power can beat creatures of the same level in any other plane.

The better ones among them can even challenge "ordinary" second-level creatures and remain undefeated.

However, if you encounter a "special" second-level creature, only a very small number of geniuses have a chance of victory.

However, if one possesses a high-level magical weapon, even an ordinary first-level wizard can kill this second-level creature alone by launching a surprise attack or facing it head-on with advance preparation.

However, if it is a sudden encounter, the winning rate of a first-level wizard who simply possesses a high-level magical weapon will drop rapidly.

After all, as the level of the magic weapon increases, the mental power required to activate it also increases.

Although it is not worth mentioning for wizards of the same level and can be activated at any time by thought, it will indeed cause a considerable delay for low-level wizards.

Magical weapons above level six cannot even be activated by a first-level wizard.

Once the enemy's strength reaches level three, even if it is just the most ordinary level three enemy, it is not something that a level one wizard can deal with under normal circumstances - even if he possesses a high-level wizard weapon.

When facing a level three enemy, a level one wizard would most likely be aware of the danger before he could activate his advanced magic weapon.

After all, the speed of a third-level creature has exceeded the reaction ability of a first-level wizard, enough to escape the mental power and visual lock of a first-level wizard, and even kill the first-level wizard before he can come to his senses.

Even if you activate a higher level shield in advance to save your life, you can't cause much damage to the enemy.

Moreover, the shield released by the magic weapon has a duration. When the shield duration ends, the first-level wizard will die.

It was also for this reason that even though he had sufficient funds, Benjamin only purchased a few sets of level 4 magical weapons - there was no point in having a higher level, and it would only reduce the startup speed.

Of course, if you are really determined to die, it is possible to kill the enemy by using high-level group witchcraft to self-destruct when the shield is opened.

However, this is based on the premise that the first-level wizard has made preparations in advance and "sneak attacks" the third-level enemies.

But what if... it was an encounter?

An unsettling wave of mysterious energy emanated from the depths of the altar like the beating of a heart, and quickly spread throughout the entire mine, causing cracks to appear in the surrounding rock walls!

Benjamin and the other two exerted their strength at the same time, using alchemy to move the stone wall blocking their way, revealing the altar behind them.

"What...what is this?!" Victor exclaimed.

"No wonder... this guy doesn't have any subordinates around him." Amy felt her voice tremble a little.

What comes into view is a stone altar, the main body of which looks like it is made of a mineral similar to crystal.

Obviously, the mineral was exactly what Benjamin and his team needed for this mission.

The only difference is that the intelligence states that this mineral should be a light, transparent yellow.

But the entire altar in front of him was bright red, like a huge ruby.

As for the reason why the entire altar changed color, it was of course because of the pile of corpses of underground demons next to it.

Sensing the same "vibration" coming from the altar as the Demon Elder did when he was alive, Benjamin's pupils suddenly shrank.

He immediately realized that this underground demon elder who had long lost his mind was actually a bait!

Its death is the switch that triggers the trap!

Almost at the same time, Victor and Amy also felt the oppressive force coming from the altar, and their faces changed suddenly.

Almost the moment he saw the altar, Victor subconsciously wanted to take out a high-level magical weapon from his wizard robe.

However, just as he stretched out his arm and touched the magical weapon with his fingers—

Swish!

A flash of blood-red knife light flashed across like teleportation, and Victor's arm holding the magic weapon, with blood splattering, left his body without any warning and flew high!

The broken arm was covered in blood and flesh, with sharp bone fragments visible. The hot and fishy blood instantly dyed the ground red.

Victor groaned in pain. The slicing was so fast that he couldn't even scream.

Only then did a few people see clearly.

At some point, a towering figure with four wings on its back appeared above the altar deep in the mine.

He was wearing blood-red armor, his face was cold and majestic, and his four huge wings brought a bloody wind pressure.

Judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from him, there is no doubt that this is a third-level creature.

Blood Angel!

Benjamin's eyes narrowed.

With the knowledge of Elosia's plane culture he had acquired during this period, he recognized at a glance that the person before him was none other than the Blood Angel under the command of the Blood God of War, whose main beliefs were killing and war among the gods of the Elosia plane!

The strongest creature under the gods, revered as a demigod by the natives of the Elosia plane, a genuine third-level creature!

Although angels are considered the weakest among the "demigods" of the Elosia plane, they are also advanced creatures that have crossed the barrier between gods and mortals.

At least it was easy to crush these three first-level wizards to death.

The Blood Angel glanced at the three people with a cold gaze, his indifferent eyes filled with disgust for "heretics" and "evil".

He raised the longsword in his hand and spoke habitually. His voice was like an ancient prayer, carrying a cold sacred power: "Filthy heretics, sinners who blaspheme my God, your souls will..."

He was about to finish his eulogy and then take action, but he didn't expect that before he could finish his words, Victor, whose arm had just been cut off, suddenly staggered forward two steps, and then fell to his knees with a "thump"!

"Please, please spare my life! Great angel! I, I am willing to betray the wizards! I am willing to join the camp of the gods!" Victor burst into tears, his face filled with extreme fear and despair.

He spoke very quickly, begging incoherently like a machine gun: "I am willing to provide all kinds of information about the wizards! Their weaknesses! Their strongholds! I am willing to tell you everything! I am willing to kill these two heretics to show my sincerity! I only ask that you spare my life..."

He looked extremely embarrassed and frightened, as if he was completely overwhelmed by the pain of a broken arm and the threat of death. His face was extremely pale due to the severe pain and blood loss.

Upon seeing this, the Blood Angel smiled sarcastically and was about to mock the traitor's pathetic nature.

However, an inexplicable sense of danger suddenly surged into his heart at this moment!

His face instantly became extremely angry.

Victor was kneeling on the ground, with tears streaming down his face, but at this moment, a weird smile appeared on his face!

As Victor raised his head, a vacuum blade emitting a terrifying aura whizzed towards his head with silent cutting force!

And under Victor's clothes, a necklace that had been worn around his neck was silently losing all its luster and turning into a pile of ashes.

This was Victor's acting skills. He took advantage of the Blood Angel's underestimation and ridicule to gain a brief opportunity, and then he used all his mental strength to activate his trump card!

Unfortunately, the gap in strength between the two sides is too huge.

"Hmph!" The Blood Angel snorted coldly.

He swung the long sword in his hand lightly, and a blood-red sword light flashed. The terrifying vacuum blade was instantly blocked and shattered into countless tiny air currents.

Afterwards, the Blood Angel relied on his own momentum, and a tremendous divine power erupted like a mountain torrent, instantly blasting Victor away!

"puff!!"

Victor's blood spurted out and he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, hitting the rock wall heavily with a dull thud that made one's teeth ache. Then he slid to the ground, and his life or death was unknown.

The Blood Angel was about to raise his hand to kill it completely, but suddenly he felt an indescribable stiffness in the joints of his limbs and the connection points of the four huge wings on his back!

He looked down and found that dense, tiny ice crystals had appeared on his joints and wings.

These ice crystals were not the cause of the freezing; on the contrary, they were formed because of the uncontrollable coldness in his joints.

And these chills were like a thorn in his side. Although small, they hindered the smooth flow of divine power in his body.

He turned his head sharply following the energy fluctuations and looked in Amy's direction.

Amy's face also turned pale at this moment, with sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that the sudden freezing ability just now was released by her with all her strength!

Although Amy often uses Fireball, that's only because Fireball is "useful" in most cases.

As a genius who independently constructed a witchcraft model, the witchcraft model she constructed is far more complex and sophisticated than it appears on the surface.

What she actually constructed was not a simple "fireball spell", but a combination of basic fire witchcraft and her own alchemy and extraction techniques. Through her own knowledge, she independently constructed a deeper level of "heat manipulation"!

Normally, she can condense fireballs by absorbing the heat from the surroundings, but at critical moments, she can also do the opposite and absorb the heat from other people's bodies, causing them to be frozen and stiff.

However, the gap between a third-level creature and a first-level wizard is too big.

Even if Amy tried her best, she could only achieve this brief freezing.

This insignificant chill quickly began to dissipate under the impact of the tremendous divine power in the Blood Angel's body, almost disappearing.

But in the moment when the angry angel was delaying the expulsion of the coldness from his body, he immediately felt an unprecedented intense danger.

He turned his head suddenly, only to see that Benjamin had a huge crystal ball in his hand, which was flashing with dazzling light and was aimed at him!

The Blood Angel subconsciously raised his arm, which had regained its flexibility, and swung the sword in his hand with a blow mixed with divine power, whistling towards Benjamin!

However, just as the powerful blow was about to reach Jieming, he noticed a "cunning" smile on Jieming's face.

Then, the crystal ball that was emitting dazzling light was actually taken back by Benjamin with a smile.

However, the terrifying slash containing the third-level power was blocked by an invisible barrier in front of Benjamin when it was about to get within a foot of him!

The barrier seemed transparent, but it was indestructible. The Blood Angel's slash caused ripples on it, but it could not advance an inch!

"Idiot, I'm just trying to attract your attention!" Benjamin said sarcastically as he looked at the shocked Blood Angel.

After saying that, he opened his other hand, which contained two dimmed fourth-level defensive magical weapons.

"You despicable wizards!" The Blood Angel roared angrily, turning around and slashing at Amy and Victor again.

However, the two blood-red sword lights that slashed down were blocked by the transparent barrier in front of them!

Seeing Amy and Victor's relieved but mocking eyes, the Blood Angel suddenly reacted, his eyes flashing with extreme anger and humiliation.

He understood!

Victor's "begging for mercy", Amy's "freezing", and Benjamin's pretentious "offensive magic weapon", all of these were done to buy time.

Just to buy that less than a second of time to distract himself so that Benjamin can trigger the fourth-level defensive magic weapon he prepared and put on a fourth-level shield for them that is enough to withstand his attacks!

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but feel relieved.

The gap between a third-level creature and a first-level wizard is too big!

Even without using his full strength, the opponent could still far exceed their reaction limits.

It can be said that in the situation just now, if the Blood Angel had not underestimated the enemy, he would have only needed to act instantly and the three of them would have been killed instantly without even having the chance to activate their magic weapons.

Everything Amy and Victor did was to give Benjamin time to activate the fourth-level shield!

Everything that Benjamin did, including the mocking words just now, was to attract the angel's attention, giving him time to activate other magical weapons to put the same shield on Amy and Victor!

The Blood Angel's face showed extreme anger. He knew that he had been fooled by these three "little bugs".

But he soon calmed down.

After fighting those wizards for so long, he was also very familiar with the situation of these enemies.

A shield like this one created with a "special magic item" has a limited duration and cannot last long, and will disappear quickly.

"When the time limit for your little tricks expires, I will make you pay!" The Blood Angel issued a cold threat.

But Benjamin didn't care at all. He didn't even pay attention to the Blood Angel's harsh words.

Because he is currently busy with something else.

The angel finally noticed at this moment that behind Benjamin, crystals the size of fingertips appeared one after another from nowhere.

There were an astonishing number of these crystals, which emitted a faint light and flew out from the space inside Jemin's body like a swarm of bees.

Driven by Jemin's powerful alchemy, these thousands of offensive talismanic magical weapons unfolded behind him at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly arranging and combining to form a huge ring with a diameter of several meters.

As the circle unfolded, the Blood Angels also attempted to attack.

However, he discovered that when Benjamin first released the shield, he had already expanded the range of the shield to a very large extent, enough to protect all the talismans and magical weapons behind him, as if he had already calculated this step.
