Chapter 187 The Frustrated Necromancer
Llewellyn, the second-in-command of the pirates, was standing lazily at the bow of the large assault ship with a piece of grass in his mouth, looking at the large cargo ship protected by the shield of light and laughing.
"That loser Maiza couldn't even stop a cargo ship. He's just a few low-level magicians, right?"
Spitting out the grass in his mouth, he gave orders to his followers behind him: "Pass the word down, have all the assault boats follow the siege, mount their spears, and break through the cargo ship's defenses."
"Yes, sir!"
The little follower took out the horn and blew it hard: "Woo——"
Different tones represented different commands. Upon hearing the horn, the assault ships adjusted their formation and surrounded the cargo ship from both sides. The trident spears shot out like a rain of arrows, whizzing and whizzing. The light shield was attacked by thousands of spears at the same time, emitting a dazzling light.
Angel was not in a hurry. He raised his magic wand and strengthened the shield of light.
This time, he directly raised his level to the spell-casting level of a high-level magician. Anyway, Ace and Sperian were busy discussing how to deal with the necromancer and had no time to care about others for the time being.
Hehehe——
The little goblin laughed in his heart.
As long as no one noticed, he could adjust the power of the magic as he pleased.
If you are asked, just play dumb.
The shield of light was as solid as a rock under the blessing of his magic, and all the pirates' spears missed their target.
"Hey, there are a bunch of boats coming, look at me——"
Disio was in high spirits. He cast a fireball spell and recited the spell quickly. The fireball rushed towards the large assault ship like a meteor.
The elite pirates had experience in dealing with magicians. They installed a defense array on the ship, embedded magic stones, and activated the mechanism. The defense array effectively blocked the attack of the fireballs.
"Huh?" Desio stared. His attack was actually blocked. Damn it!
"Hahahaha——" Budno laughed, "Desio, can you do it?"
Discio made a face at him and increased the power of his attack. He didn't believe that he couldn't break through the pirates' defense.
A larger fireball hit the assault ship, "boom--" the defense formation was broken and the flames spread rapidly.
The pirates immediately adjusted their formation, moving away from the direction where the fireball fell and going around the stern of the ship.
Kumandi, who had been waiting at the stern for a long time, had a blank expression on his face. Wind magic, more powerful than a fireball, attacked the assault ship mercilessly.
The pirates who thought they could launch a surprise attack from the stern of the boat were overturned by the sudden wind, and countless more pirates were struggling in the water.
"Hey~"
Amanda and Budno joined forces, and the whirlpool and the water dragon appeared at the same time, turning the Yitongli River upside down.
Standing on the skeleton of the magic bird, Oguta observed the cargo ship of the Graves family indifferently and evaluated the strength of the seven magicians. When he found that these magicians were young, their equipment was tattered, but they released powerful attack power, he frowned.
If you just look at their appearance, these seven young men are clearly magic apprentices, but judging from the power of the magic they release, it is far beyond the level of an intermediate magician, no, it may be even stronger.
Disguise?
Oguta's face was gloomy and there was a vicious light in his eyes.
No matter who it is, if they dare to act recklessly in the water bandits' territory, they will never be able to return.
He wanted to turn these ignorant magicians into living specimens.
Oguta glanced at the assault ships, most of which had been destroyed, and cursed them silently, saying they were a bunch of rubbish. If it weren't for the need to obtain more experimental subjects and research funds, he really wouldn't bother to cooperate with such a bunch of rubbish.
"Libo, go down and approach the cargo ship." He ordered the demon bird skeleton.
"Hiss--" The demon bird skeleton made a strange cry, folded its wings slightly, and dived downward. When it was about to get close, it stretched out its sharp claws and attacked the light shield outside the cargo ship.
"Bang!"
There was a deafening roar as if the entire cargo ship had exploded, and the hull shook violently. The sailors hiding in the cabin were terrified and huddled together, trembling with fear.
Shu Li steadied his shaking body and said to the blond boy, "The Necromancer is attacking! Ace, let's go!"
"Okay." Ace responded, raising his magic wand and chanting the flying spell.
Shu Li followed suit, and when the spell ended, the two of them flew into the air with the wind under their feet.
"Kumandi, the combat command on the ship is now in your hands!" Shu Li flew towards the stern and handed over the command. Kuumandi made a gesture to indicate that he heard. He and Ace broke away from the shield of light, rushed into the sky, and confronted the necromancer riding the skeleton of the magic bird.
Oguta squinted his eyes and looked at the two men with disdain. Seeing the low-quality magic wands in their hands and the badges on their chests that represented magic apprentices, he sneered, "I thought the old men in the courtyard sent magicians to deliberately cause trouble, but it turns out they are just a bunch of ignorant magic apprentices. Boys, if you know what's good for you, surrender obediently. Otherwise, I will let you taste the feeling of being a puppet."
Shu Li looked at the arrogant and gloomy necromancer fearlessly.
He has white hair, a face full of wrinkles, a sinister look in his eyes, and a lifeless look. He wears a black magic robe and holds a high-level magic wand in his hand. His whole body, including the black frame of the magic bird, exudes a strong aura of darkness.
To be honest, Shu Li had a slight psychological trauma towards the Necromancer because of what happened to him when he was a cub.
Before setting out, he learned that there was a necromancer behind the pirates, and he was worried that he would retreat. Now that he is facing it, he feels no wavering.
It was obvious that he had become stronger and his fear of the Necromancer had disappeared.
"Hey, old man, are all necromancers as ugly as you? Your face is full of wrinkles when you smile. Your skin must be loose due to your age." Shu Li asked with an innocent tone and pure eyes. After asking, he showed a row of neat and white teeth, which was so infuriating.
"You little bastard, you're looking for death!" Oguta stomped his feet, and the monster skeleton screamed and rushed towards Shu Li, and its giant claws hit his head directly.
Shu Li was prepared. The whirlwind under his feet turned and he dodged nimbly. He raised his magic wand and recited the wood spell fluently.
"Great Wood God Oruman Pas, please condense the wood element for me and use the strongest vines to wrap around this poor demon bird's skeleton!"
He skipped the self-introduction and waved his magic wand while throwing out seeds with his left hand. The seeds were enveloped by green light and instantly turned into thick and tough vines, which fiercely wrapped around the skeleton of the magic bird.
The necromancer sneered and controlled the magic bird skeleton to dodge. However, on the other side, the blond magic apprentice had already cast a wind spell, controlling the terrible wind blade to attack him.
Being attacked from both sides, Auguta remained indifferent. The skeleton of the magic bird suddenly rose high and released dark magic at the same time.
"God of Darkness, Miroka Hodhe, please grant me the power of darkness to devour the souls of my enemies, causing them to fall into hell forever and become—"
Before the spell was finished, the vines that had been avoided before seemed to have intelligence, changed direction, caught up with the skeleton of the magic bird, and quickly entangled, bound, and squeezed it with such great force that they crushed the bones.
The magic bird skeleton lost its balance and suddenly tilted. Oguta was caught off guard and his spell was interrupted.
Shu Li and Ace exchanged glances and took the opportunity to attack.
The wind blade was like a knife, whizzing past and mercilessly hitting the skeleton of the demon bird.
The poor fifth-level demon bird's skeleton was dismembered by the two men's wind blades, and the skeleton broke into countless pieces and fell apart.
The speed was too fast, and the necromancer didn't react until he lost his support.
He roared angrily and pointed his magic wand: "Bind—"
There is no time to recite long spells, so they can only be expressed briefly, which greatly reduces their power.
Shu Li was well aware of the negative auxiliary skills of dark magic. He cast a light magic spell and easily broke the restraints for himself and Ace.
Oguta was furious.
That black-haired boy turned out to be a multi-system magic apprentice... No, the strength he displayed was definitely not that of a magic apprentice!
Whether it is combat awareness or magical power, it far exceeds the strength that a magic apprentice should have.
Without the skeleton of the magic bird, the necromancer could not fly and fell. He took out another skeleton of the magic bird from his storage bag, thus avoiding the fate of being smashed into a meat pie.
Shu Li guessed that he had multiple puppets, and when he saw the new skeleton of the demon bird, he showed an expression of "as expected".
"Ace, be careful!" he warned his human classmates.
"Okay." Ace responded, cooperating with his fight.
Shu Li made a gesture to him, and the two of them used the same trick again, one attacking with wind blades, and the other throwing vine seeds to wrap around the skeleton of the magic bird.
Oguta sneered and threw out an attack magic scroll.
The magic scroll unfolded, and a cloud of black mist emerged, rushing towards Shu Li and Ace.
Shu Li had to change his strategy and use the wind under his feet to escape from the range of the black fog.
While they were escaping, Oguta chanted the spell again: "God of Darkness, Miroka Hodhe, please grant me the power of darkness to devour my enemies——"
This time, the spell was only halfway through when the skeleton of the demon bird under his feet suddenly caught fire.
Oguta was horrified and had to jump off the magic bird skeleton. He watched it burn to ashes in seconds, and he lost his support again and fell into the river.
Shu Li, who had successfully burned the demon bird skeleton by silently chanting a fire spell, walked around to Ace and exclaimed in mock shock, "Ah! This necromancer is such a loser! His demon bird skeleton actually spontaneously combusted!"
Ace nodded in agreement, "Looks like lady luck is on our side."
"Of course! We are the righteous side!" Shu Li grinned, "Chase them quickly - we must give them a good beating when they are down -"
Oguta had never been so embarrassed in his life. While fighting the enemy, his spell was interrupted twice. What made him even more furious was that one of the two magic bird puppets he had worked so hard to cultivate was dismembered, and the other inexplicably caught fire.
He popped his head out of the water and looked gloomily at the two teenagers in the air.
After several rounds, he was sure that they were definitely not magic apprentices!
Their strength is superior to mine. If we fight them head-on, I will be the one who suffers.
Oguta has always valued his life. Since he couldn't win, he tried to find a way to escape.
As long as he doesn't die, he has a thousand ways to take revenge.
As for the pirates who were defeated by the attack...let them die!
Augusta sank underwater, swam to the bottom of an overturned boat, found a small space where he could breathe, and whispered the spell of invisibility.
The spell ended and his body became transparent.
Having successfully become invisible, he left the bottom of the boat, avoided the fighting, and swam towards the shore.
Shu Li and Ace flew to the surface of the water and found that they had lost their target. They released their perception and found that there were only bandits on the river, but no necromancers.
"He escaped!" Shu Li was surprised.
Ace glanced in a certain direction and said, "He is an intermediate mage after all."
Shu Li pursed his lips and said, "Yeah, luckily we were lucky. We had the upper hand at the start and scared the other side."
Ace said, "Since he's escaped, it means the pirates are doomed. The most urgent task is to get the cargo ship safely away and to Duke Derek's territory."
"Okay!" Shu Li no longer hesitated and flew back to the cargo ship with him.
The other members of Team Light breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them return safely.
Shu Li stood on the deck and saw that the pirates' large assault boat had been mostly destroyed by his friends. He shouted excitedly: "Brothers, after we finish this wave, we will run away!"
"Great—"
"receive!"
The goblins and the little dragons fought more and more bravely, releasing magic as if it was free. The unfortunate pirates finally climbed onto the boat, but it was overturned again.
The Yitongli River is like the sea, with turbulent waves. No matter how good the pirates are at swimming, they will not escape death.
As the leaders of the pirates, Maiza and Llewellyn suffered a devastating blow. Without caring about the lives of their men, they scrambled to climb ashore and escaped by rolling and crawling.
The Mora River was cleared of pirates, and corpses and the wreckage of assault boats were floating everywhere.
Without any obstruction, Shu Li gave an order, and the cargo ship raised its sails and set sail again. Wind magic and water magic added fuel to the fire, and it left this river of death and sailed away arrogantly.
The crew members who witnessed the whole process at the rear were shocked beyond words. The captain reacted quickly and immediately urged the sailors to row hard to pass the checkpoint.
There was a hole in the intercepting gate, big enough for a large ship to pass through.
Seeing this, the captains of other ships followed suit.
If you don’t run now, when will you run?
