Chapter 056 Xier's Battle
A leaf wrapped in light fell from the sky. Ivy reached out to catch it, pinched the leaf, and a line of tadpole-like elf characters appeared in the air.
"Intruder!"
"Necromancer!"
Ivy and Anna exclaimed.
Kumandi quickly woke up from his meditation, flew out of the tent and asked, "What happened?"
"Sir has sent word that intruders have been spotted on the coast, including two necromancers." Ivy half-crouched, reaching into the small tent and cruelly poking the sleeping goblins. "Kumandi, take the children back to the sacred tree immediately. Anna and I will cover your rear."
Xier said there were as many as fifty invaders, led by two gray-robed necromancers.
The Necromancer is skilled in black magic and specializes in unorthodox methods. His level increases twice as fast as that of the White Mage.
Some humans are weak-willed and can't resist the allure of power, often going astray. For other highly gifted races, learning black magic is even more effective.
The necromancer who was able to pass through the fog array set up by the Elf King and reach the coast alive with his men should definitely not be underestimated. His level is at least close to that of a mage.
The three of them are adult goblins, each of them is only over a hundred years old. Xier is an intermediate-level wizard, and he and Anna are junior-level wizards. Together, they are probably no match for the necromancer.
However, in order to protect the Fairy Forest, they must never let invaders set foot in the forest.
No matter how mature Kumandi was, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy. When he learned that the invader was a necromancer, his face turned pale and his purple pupils shrank slightly.
"I understand. You guys—be sure to be careful!" With his current strength, he could not help in any other way except taking the cubs away.
Anna saw his worry and smiled easily, "Don't be afraid. I just sent a magic message to the elf patrolling the forest. I believe he will be here soon."
The elves patrolling the forest are basically at the level of magic gods, so dealing with two necromancers is a piece of cake.
Kumandi nodded, and together with Ivy, they woke up the four goblins.
Shu Li was sleeping soundly, dreaming that he was a brave warrior, fighting against the devil, and when he was about to win, he suddenly heard Kumandi calling out.
"Sperian, wake up, we have to leave... Intruders have entered the forest, it's dangerous..."
What?
Intruder?
The dream faded away, and consciousness returned. Shu Li opened his eyes in a daze and saw Kumandi's anxious face.
Seeing that he was awake, Kumandi said in a deep voice: "The invaders are coming. We must return to the sacred tree as soon as possible."
"Intruders?" Shu Li sat up with a start. He asked nervously, "The Black Knight?"
Five years ago, the foreign black knight was rampant in the forest. He hid in the nest of a big fat bird and was affected. He almost lost his life. Fortunately, the Elf King arrived in time and killed the black knight.
From then on, he made up his mind not to leave the forest until he learned some skills.
"It's the necromancer." Kumandi said, nudging Budno and calling him up.
Shu Li heard the "Necromancer" gasp, and without thinking, he and Kumandi called out to their sleeping friend.
At the push of Ivy's fingers, Disio and Angel opened their eyes blankly, and suddenly woke up after hearing the conversation between Shuli and Kumandi.
"Is it a necromancer who knows black magic?" Angel exclaimed.
"How did they get in?" Discio's eyes widened.
"I came here by boat from the sea." Ivy said briefly, "Is Budno still awake?"
Kumandi and Shuli called him for a long time, but Budno was still sleeping soundly. At any other time, they would definitely not have the heart to wake him up, but now the situation was urgent and they had to take ruthless action.
Shu Li rubbed his hands and slapped Budno on his slightly raised butt.
“Snap—”
Budno woke up in pain, holding his buttocks, his eyes blurred with tears, looking for the culprit who beat him.
Shu Li didn't even give him a chance to complain and dragged him up. "The necromancer has invaded the forest. Let's get out of here!"
"Ah?" Budno was dizzy, his tears stopped, and he was pulled out of the tent in a daze.
Seeing that the little ones were awake, Ivy gave them some serious instructions, asking them to follow Kumandi and fly towards the sacred tree. No matter how hard or tiring it was, they were not allowed to stop or look back.
"Can you do it?" he asked in a rare stern voice.
"able!"
The four goblins answered firmly.
Anna packed up the tent, erased all traces of their camping, looked toward the coast, and urged them, "Hurry up."
The wind carried the sound of a magical battle.
Xier confronted the invader.
On the coast, the pirates fled in panic. Golden arrows fell from the sky like death warrants, and anyone who was hit died on the spot.
They have been roaming the sea for more than ten years. They have all been through hundreds of battles and killed countless people. This is the first time they have encountered such a powerful opponent.
At the beginning, the golden arrow shot towards the necromancer, but was blocked by the necromancer's magic shield. Everyone was shocked to find that there was someone nearby.
When the necromancers found the direction from which the arrow came, they discovered the attacker hiding in the branches.
At that moment, the clouds retreated, and the full moon was fully revealed. The silver light poured down, sprinkling on the attacker and illuminating his appearance.
His golden hair was tied in a high ponytail and fell behind him. A silver-white forehead ring shone brightly in the moonlight. His features were delicate and flawless, and his pale golden eyes were as cold as thin ice. His blue robe flowed, and the wind blew, revealing his slender white legs. In his hand, he held a graceful golden bow, nocked with a golden arrow condensed from magical energy, the sharp tip gleaming with a cold light.
But what shocked the pirates the most was his unique pointed ears.
There is no doubt that this is the legendary white elf!
The pirates swallowed involuntarily, their eyes widening.
The dark elf Roald was good looking enough in their eyes, but there was a world of difference compared to the white elf.
Apart from their different skin colour, their temperaments were also completely different.
Roald grew up among pirates, a vulgar, barbaric, violent man with a foul mouth and an unkempt appearance. After being accepted as an apprentice by a necromancer, he spent years dealing with corpses and skeletons, looking lifeless and eerie.
The white elf on the tree had an exquisite appearance. His snow-white skin seemed as if it could be blown away by a baby's. His body, which had never been contaminated by darkness, was pure and flawless. Even with a cold expression and a golden bow in an attacking posture, he exuded an indescribable elegance and nobility.
Is this the elf known as the Son of Light?
No wonder those perverted and powerful people on the continent are obsessed with the white elves, and bards praise them with beautiful poems every day.
White elves are so much more precious than dark elves!
If we catch one and send it to an underground auction house on the mainland, the powerful will spend crazy money on it, right?
When they were bumping around in the fog before, they were very dissatisfied with Roald's stubbornness, but now when they saw the white elf, they were completely impressed by his decision.
How can you get high returns without taking risks?
This trip is so worth it!
The pirates all showed greedy expressions.
A tall and strong pirate, holding a scimitar high, walked towards the giant tree with a menacing look.
The next second, golden light flashed, and his heart was pierced by a golden arrow.
"Uh..." The pirate lowered his head in disbelief, looking at his chest that was gushing with blood. Before he could say anything, his vision went black and he fell straight to the ground, dying with his eyes open.
The other pirates were enraged and rushed towards the giant tree, shouting. Flashes of golden light appeared, and more than a dozen corpses appeared on the ground.
The white elf's arrows never missed their target, and all the pirates he aimed at were killed.
After more than twenty people died in succession, the pirates were frightened and dared not shout anymore. They could only surround the giant tree, keep a safe distance from the elves, and wait for the instructions of the necromancer.
Roald and the Necromancer had been standing in the back row, watching the pirates rushing forward indifferently. More than twenty pirates died, but they didn't even frown.
"Is this the white elf?" Under the hood, Roald's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at the elf on the tree as if he were looking at cargo.
"Not necessarily, maybe it's a goblin." The necromancer said in an old and hoarse voice.
"Aren't fairies little creatures with wings?" Roald asked.
"Adult fairies can not only grow in size, but also hide their wings." The necromancer said, "This is the Fairy Forest, so the chances of encountering fairies are higher."
"Really?" Roald stroked his chin with interest. "If it's a goblin, it would be worth even more."
The fairy who can change size can be kept as a pet or a beauty. I believe that the powerful people on the mainland who like ordinary excitement will love it.
However, it is not so easy to catch him.
As we all know, fairies and elves are highly talented, agile, and have strong combat capabilities. They are not only good at bows and arrows, but are also natural magicians.
Roald licked his lips and asked, "Teacher, can you tell his level?"
Although his teacher is a human, he has lived for thousands of years, is knowledgeable and experienced, and has a pair of sharp eyes that can see through everything.
The Necromancer chuckled. "He's very young, about the same age as you, both at the level of an Archmage. As for whether he's a beginner or a mid-level wizard, you'll know after testing his magic."
"I'll go meet him." Roald stepped forward, raised the high-level magic wand inlaid with dark stone, and whispered, "Great God of Darkness, Miroka Hodhe, please grant me the hellfire that will burn everything - the Explosive Flame Arrow!"
As the spell fell, hundreds of burning rockets appeared in the air. With a wave of the magic wand, the rockets, dragging black flames, attacked the giant tree with unstoppable force.
When Xier heard the necromancer's spell, he quickly put away his golden bow and took out his magic wand.
"Great God of Light, Ryan Freys, please grant me the indestructible power - the Shield of Light!"
In an instant, a screen of light appeared in front of the giant tree, blocking all the explosive arrows.
“Chichi——”
The flaming arrows collided with the light screen, creating dazzling sparks. Some arrows were bounced back, and the pirates watching suffered unexpected disasters.
“Ahhhh—”
The unlucky pirate who was hit by the rocket screamed, and the other pirates panicked and ran away from the battlefield.
A skilled pirate wielded his scimitar, splitting the incoming rockets. He turned around and shouted, "Roald, damn you! If you keep casting spells, I'll kill you!"
Roald sneered grimly: "If you have the guts, get that white elf down from there."
The cursing pirate let out a "Pooh" and shouted at the surviving pirates to retreat, leaving the battlefield to the necromancer.
Roald was testing Searle, and Searle was observing him.
When the magic of both sides is clashed, the strength is clear at a glance.
All of Roald's flaming arrows were blocked by Xi'er's shield of light.
There is no doubt that Xi'er's strength is above Roald's.
"Intermediate Archmage." The Necromancer said, "You are no match for him in a one-on-one fight."
Roald curled his lips, not angry at all. "Isn't the teacher still here?"
It would be easy for a teacher at the level of a magic saint to capture a mid-level magician.
Besides, the Necromancer never fights alone.
Xier stood on a high place, staring warily at the two necromancers, one tall and one short, standing under the tree.
The tall necromancer is obviously not as strong as him, but the short necromancer is very powerful.
The explosive arrow was bounced off his light screen and shot towards the short necromancer, but he did not move at all. The explosive arrow was blocked by an invisible force and turned into nothing in an instant.
Considering the tall necromancer's respectful attitude towards him, Xier guessed that the short necromancer was the backbone of the pirates and the reliance of the pirate ship to pass through the fog on the sea without restraint.
Kill the king first to kill the thief!
As long as the short necromancer dies, the other pirates will not be a threat.
Xier raised his magic wand and quickly chanted, "God of Light, Ryant Freys, who destroys the forces of darkness, please help me destroy the enemy before me—the Arrow of Light!"
The elements of light condensed into countless sharp arrows of light, rushing towards the short necromancer like rays.
Seeing that the short necromancer was about to be pierced by a sieve, he calmly chanted a simple spell: "The darkness that devours all light is omnipotent--"
With a wave of his magic wand, a huge black hole appeared in front of him, and all the light arrows were sucked in and disappeared without a trace.
Xier was shocked.
Apart from the prefix praising the God of Darkness, this short necromancer's spell can still release such powerful magic. It can be seen that his strength far exceeds his own, and he is probably at the level of a magic saint.
I am no match for him.
Xier frowned and made a prompt decision to lure away the necromancer, delaying time as much as possible and allowing the goblins to escape further away.
With a thought, translucent wings appeared behind him.
"It's a goblin!" Roald's eyes lit up, "Teacher, we must catch him!"
The fluorescent wings are incredibly beautiful.
"Xier——"
Two clear voices suddenly rang out, and a pair of fairies with wings on their backs rushed out of the forest.
It was Ivy and Anna who came to support.
When the invaders saw them, their eyes widened and their vision was greatly shocked.
One goblin is breathtakingly beautiful, and three goblins together are simply suffocating. The desire to hunt them reaches its peak.
"Be careful! This necromancer is a mage saint!" Xier spread his wings, turned into a ray of light, and met up with his companions.
Ivy and Anna's faces changed drastically.
Dharma Saint level?
Then they would fight to the death to hold him back until the patrolling elves came to rescue him.
"Three, haha..." The necromancer let out a creepy chuckle. "Roald, there are still five escaped little guys in the forest. If you catch them, you will make a fortune this time."
His words made the three adult demons tremble with fear and their eyes were bloodshot.
In contrast to them, Roald was overjoyed.
A necromancer at the level of a mage saint has sharp five senses. As long as he opens his perception, no movement within a hundred miles can escape his "eyes".
"Teacher, I'll leave these three adult goblins to you. I'll go after the younger ones!"
He chuckled and rushed into the forest.
Anna immediately chanted a spell: "Wood God Oruman Pas, please stop the invaders - bind!"
Thorny vines sprang out from under Roald's feet and bound him in an instant, making him unable to move.
The necromancer narrowed his eyes and waved his magic wand: "God of Darkness, Miroka Hodhe, grant me the power of corrosion - destruction!"
The vines wrapped around Roald had their vitality sucked away and withered instantly.
Roald struggled lightly and regained his freedom.
Without waiting for the three fairies to react, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, actually teleporting away.
"Stop—" Anna shouted angrily, following his breath and chasing after him.
The necromancer sneered and chanted, "Great God of Darkness, Miroka Hodhe, I will offer you a delicious sacrifice. Please open the realm of darkness!"
Anna was halfway through her flight when she was suddenly bounced back by a strong force, and the entire coast fell into darkness.
In the forest, Kumandi and four little goblins were trying their best to hurry on their way.
It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't tell east, south, west or north. However, with his strong ability to identify, he flew accurately towards the direction of the sacred tree.
The little elves who were awakened in the middle of the night were nervous and flapped their wings at a high frequency, not daring to say that they were tired.
Shu Li followed Kumandi closely, lowered his head and flew hard, his heart beating "thump, thump", and he was extremely nervous.
I never expected that I would encounter invaders while just going on an ordinary mission!
These invaders came from the sea, and two of them were cruel and inhumane necromancers.
They can pass through the fog set up by the Elf King, so their strength must be extraordinary. Can Xier and the others handle it?
Shu Li didn't know why, but she was always worried and afraid that something terrible would happen.
After flying for a while, he asked breathlessly, "Are Ku... Kumandi... Xier and the others okay?"
Kumandi said calmly, "Don't ask, just keep flying."
"I'm just afraid..." Before he could finish his words, the Kumandi in front suddenly stopped. Shu Li almost hit his back and hurriedly folded his wings.
"Ouch!"
The other three little goblins were not so lucky and crashed into each other. Shu Li was quick to pull them apart.
"What...what happened?" Angel asked in a trembling voice.
Kumandi took out his magic wand, pointed it forward and shouted, "Come out!"
"Tsk, you actually discovered me?"
A cold voice sounded, giving Shu Li goose bumps all over his body.
“Chi!”
A figure appeared on a branch five meters away from them. He took out a light magic stone and illuminated the surroundings.
With the help of the light, Shu Li could see the other person's appearance clearly.
It turned out to be a dark elf with grayish-blue skin, silver-white hair, long pointed ears, and blood-red eyes!
