Chapter 538 The King’s Performance!
"Master Harry, if you activate the scroll you will not be able to escape alive, do you understand?"
Adela looked at Gervis in disbelief and told him very seriously the consequences of activating the forbidden scroll.
The forbidden spell had a wide attack range, so even if they wanted to escape immediately after activating it, it would be impossible for them to do so given their strength.
"I understand that very well! Miss Adela, you don't have to worry!"
Gervis nodded calmly.
"Adela, since Harry is willing to stay behind to cover our retreat, you should give him the scroll. Let's evacuate quickly, otherwise we will be surrounded by orcs!"
Deweir rolled his eyes and immediately urged Adela.
To be honest, Gervis's current actions can be described as selfless and selfless.
But Deweir didn't care. After all, if such a wild wizard was not hired by Laci, if he encountered him, he would ask the people from the Magicians Association to capture him or kill him directly.
Now that Gervis is willing to sacrifice himself for others, it can be said that he is making the best use of his resources.
More importantly, he lost a lot of face because of Gervis in the past two days. Now Gervis is ready to commit suicide, and Deville is very happy to see it.
"Master Harry, have you made up your mind?"
Adela ignored Deville's urging and looked at Gervis seriously to confirm again.
"I've made the decision. You can leave without worry! I may not die!"
Gervis also looked at the beautiful young lady and couldn't help but think of the beautiful scenery. It was really unforgettable.
"Then I'll leave it to you! Good luck!"
This may be the best option, saving everyone with the least sacrifice.
And Gervis was willing, so after Adela made sure that Gervis was serious, she took out the magic scroll and gave it to Gervis!
"Thanks!"
Gervis gave the beautiful Adela a handsome smile.
After all, this thing must be worth a lot of money, so it is natural to express gratitude when receiving such a valuable gift.
After confirming the personnel to cover their retreat, Deville and his companions could not wait to retreat.
Gervis was also wearing armor. Although he was a magician, his body was still a little "fragile", so he asked a guard of similar build to take off his armor and give it to him.
And Lachi continued on the side: "Harry, how about I leave a few more guards for you!"
"Master Lachi, there's really no need! You guys should retreat quickly! The orcs will surround us soon!"
Gervis simply shook his head and refused.
When Laci heard Gervis's refusal without hesitation, he didn't say anything more. He just took out three bottles of magic recovery potion from his arms and stuffed them into Gervis' hands.
Then Lachi yelled, "Everyone! Retreat."
Then, the guards who were still struggling to resist the orcs all exerted their full strength to attack the orcs, and turned around and ran away when the orcs dodged.
At this time, Gervis, Adela and others also took action. Fireballs and beams of light streaked across the ruins and shot towards the orcs who wanted to chase the guards.
Suddenly the ruins were illuminated. Facing the magician, the orcs were obviously afraid. These fireballs and holy light made the pursuing orcs hide behind obstacles and dared not show their heads.
Adela, Laci and the others took advantage of this opportunity to quickly evacuate to the rear.
"It's up to the king to perform next!"
After Adela and the others left, as Gervis thought about it, the energy fruit appeared in Gervis' mouth.
Gervis chewed it up and swallowed it in a few bites. He instantly felt abundant energy filling every corner of his body.
"Fireball!"
"Fireball!"
At this time, Laci and others had just run a hundred meters away. In this place illuminated only by moonlight, if Gervis released his fighting spirit immediately, he might be seen, so he simply released the fireball spell.
The energy fruit not only guarantees unlimited fighting spirit, but also unlimited magic power.
Boom! Boom!
As Gervis's mental power continued to condense and outline the matrix, fireballs continued to shoot out from in front of Gervis.
In just over ten seconds, Gervis gained another five or six energy points.
This was the result of Gervis deliberately controlling the firing frequency and the orcs hiding behind cover.
If the orcs did not deliberately defend and dodge, Gervis could gain more energy points.
"How is this possible? Could it be a high-level human magician?"
Seeing that the orcs in front were hiding behind the ruins and dared not move forward, the shaman behind also moved closer.
Seeing that Gervis had fired at least ten fireballs in a row, the shaman was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
"That's not right. If he is a high-level human magician, he can release more powerful magic. Why use the fireball spell that consumes the most energy but has little lethality? Could it be that he is just a newly promoted junior magician who has not yet learned other magic?"
"Everyone, stand up and charge over! Kill that human mage!"
Although the shaman couldn't figure out why Gervis could fire so many fireballs, he could guess his level.
If it was a high-level magician, the shaman would immediately take the orcs and run away without saying a word.
But if Gervis could only shoot fireballs, the threat wouldn't be that big. At most, he would lose some orc warriors. He didn't want to let that group of humans get away!
"kill!"
The shamans had a high status among the orcs and no one dared to disobey them. The orcs who were originally suppressed by Gervis and could not raise their heads suddenly stood up with roars, holding all kinds of weapons and surrounded Gervis to kill him.
"Swift Blessing!"
The orc warriors started charging again, and the shaman did not stop. He immediately cast a blessing spell on the orc in the front, which instantly increased the orc warrior's running speed by half a point.
"Let's see which of you can run faster, or my fireball technique is faster!"
Gervis had noticed the shaman a long time ago, but the shaman was too cunning and always hid in the distance and observed, so he had no way to attack.
Seeing the orcs rushing towards him rapidly with the blessing halo, he guessed that Adela and the others should have gone far away, so he let go.
As Gervis cast the spell without hesitation, the speed at which the fireballs in his hand were fired became even faster.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Although the fireballs would sometimes be blocked by the orcs' shields, the orcs' equipment was simple and only a few of them had shields. In a short while, Gervis still harvested more than ten energy points.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the orc wanted to rush close to Gervis, but Gervis was not a brainless wild monster.
Seeing that the orcs were about to approach, he immediately used his fighting spirit to run back for a distance. After he had put himself at a safe distance, Gervis began to release fireballs again.
Of course, Gervis's kite-flying style of play could not be maintained for long, because although his magic power was infinite, the problem was that his mental strength was limited.
A magician cannot cast magic with just magic power. He also needs to rely on mental strength to construct a magic matrix in his mind and inject magic power into it to cast a complete magic.
At this time, Gervis had already realized that his mental strength had run out. The speed of constructing the magic matrix became slower and more difficult, and the speed of releasing fireballs also slowed down.
But in general, Gervis has released no less than a hundred fireballs from the beginning to now. Even compared with other magicians, he is a monstrous existence.
Even a junior magician cannot match his mental strength.
"Looks like we have to use force! Then, let me show you how powerful the sword in the king's hand is!"
"Speaking of which, face-to-face fighting is my favorite way of fighting!"
Gervis silently retracted his staff, then slowly drew out the mithril sword from his waist.
He cannot wait until his mental power is completely exhausted before stopping, otherwise his mental power will be exhausted and his close combat capability will also be affected.
"Haha! This human magician has no more magic power! Capture him alive!"
The shaman had been watching Gervis' every move from behind. When he saw Gervis put away his staff and draw out his mithril sword, he instantly guessed that Gervis had no magic power left.
Although dozens of orc warriors lost their lives, it was all worth it as they were able to capture Gervis alive.
