A fierce battle
The invisible pressure in the air suddenly intensified. Even with the protection of the Heart Purification Rune, he could still feel the malice like a thorn in his back.
After giving up on persuasion, Mia Rhodes started the battle without saying a word!
Beneath the lake, countless slender streams of water broke through the water and rushed towards Xi Mu and his group. They entwined and formed in the rush, and quickly formed small cages floating on the water!
Ximu and Weixia dodged in time and escaped before the cage was formed, but Zhuiren was a step late because she protected Morina, and was directly sealed in the black prison!
He had already drawn his sword when he was trapped, but before he could swing it, a huge trance came over him as the cage closed. Not only his strength, but even his will to fight disappeared inexplicably. He felt completely enveloped in despair and could hardly get up.
Ordinary hanging cages lift their prey into the air, but these cages made of black water do the opposite. They sink directly below the water surface and disappear completely, as if they have merged with the dark lake water again in an instant.
Things happened too quickly. When Ximu found that Zhui Ning was trapped, he immediately ran away, but he could only watch his companion being dragged into the water.
But at this moment——
The swallowed Zhui Nin suddenly appeared beside Ruixia, looking confused, as if she had not yet realized what had happened.
"What, what's going on..."
"No time to explain!"
The enemy's attack did not stop. Ruixia nimbly took out a mechanical arm from her bag and threw it to him, and began to give orders repeatedly:
"If you're still not focused, use another Scroll of Purification. I don't need to explain how to install the Mechanic Hand, right? - Ximu and Weixia, pay attention to the area thirty meters to the left and front. There's an abnormal spatial reaction there! There's a magical fluctuation approaching underwater, right in the center of our team. Sorens, you can't defend against it. Take Molina and dodge to the left!"
Zhui Neng was pulled to the side by him. A cage that broke out of the water missed the target and silently melted into the water again.
It was not until then that he noticed that the space below his left shoulder was empty, and the mechanic arm that originally belonged to him had disappeared without a trace.
What's there to be confused about? It's obvious that Ruisha installed some kind of device on that hand that can transfer the user to a specific location - inlaid with a displacement gem or something - at the cost of damaging the mechanic's hand, directly snatched him out of the enemy's magic.
This kid is really not as honest as he looks...
As long as he is of one mind with them, he will be pulled back to safety by his companions when in danger;
If he was controlled or betrayed in the middle of the battle, he might be sent directly to Ximu, and his movements might be restricted, or he might be killed on the spot... After all, at that distance, with Ximu's ability, there was almost no possibility of failure.
However...it's normal to be a little wary of others when you're out and about.
Zhui Ling, who herself doesn't trust others very much, doesn't feel offended by this. Rather, she believes that this style of being honest with others while keeping a hand in reserve is the only way to go further in this unpredictable world.
He positioned his arm skillfully, dodging attacks while grabbing and lifting while running. After confirming that his arm was functioning normally, he returned to its proper position and instantly exchanged information with Ximu and Weixi, such as "Are you injured?" and "It's okay, I'm fine."
If an ordinary person were caught in this kind of magic filled with negative implications, they would inevitably suffer severe mental trauma.
Fortunately, Zhui Nin was rescued almost immediately. She had a lot of mind-clearing items on her, and she was a person who refused to admit defeat and would not accept her fate, so she was able to return to the battlefield quickly as if nothing had happened.
Mia Lloyds's attacks naturally did not stop there.
In addition to the impenetrable underwater cage, large numbers of magic circles appeared in the air again. Although the density was slightly lower than before, they were more flexible and changeable. If Ximu and others had not developed a good understanding of each other during the days of special training, there would have been casualties long ago.
Due to the complexity of the battle situation, Morina had to wear a pair of monocles similar to Risha's to share some of the warning and command work with him.
"Wei Xiya, watch your step! Xi Mu, the attack ahead of you contains space debris, don't use your weapon to block it! Zhui Neng, quickly pull Rui Xia!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhui'en raised her leg and kicked Ruixia, who was still stiff after just firing a magic crystal cannon, away from her spot - after avoiding the cage that rose from the ground, no one had time to sigh or express gratitude. Both sides quickly adjusted their postures and then immediately threw themselves into the battle.
The fact that I was able to hold on to the enemy until this moment was only thanks to the hard work I put in in the workshop.
If everyone's pockets were not filled with an astonishing number of scrolls at this moment, they would not have been able to maintain their fighting power with almost no loss under such intensive attacks in the face of the former great magician's ruthless and all-out attack.
Now that things have come to this, every attack of Mia Rodes is aimed at their lives. There are almost no active loopholes. Everyone can only fight desperately to fight for a chance of survival in the dead end.
In addition to the closely coordinated killing moves in the sky and on the ground, some space cracks that have never moved are also hidden in the dark. They will not suddenly activate until someone steps into the vicinity, and they will emit a huge suction force as if opening a door to another time and space. One has to use instant transfer skills to forcibly escape, which is really annoying.
This lake reflecting the starlight is not accessible anywhere. Some of the starry sky reflections are real magic. Once you step on them, it will cause a small-scale explosion like stepping into a trap.
Sorens was hit once, but fortunately he dodged in time, and with the protection of the Moon Staff, he was able to stand up quickly with the help of Morina and the Healing Scroll, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
But... hadn't he been in a stalemate with them for too long?
Ximu originally thought that they would soon be forced into a desperate situation where they would have to use the "Thorn of the End" to break the deadlock, but with a large number of scrolls and tacit cooperation, they were able to barely withstand Mia Rhodes's various fatal moves.
Before, when he used magic like the "Gate of Time and Space", Xi Mu's heart sank.
The suction force of the door was so strong that even she found it difficult to escape, not to mention the three-person team at a distance who lacked teleportation skills.
Even if Ruixia could use the recoil of the magic crystal cannon to escape or cover his teammates, if the three of them were attacked at the same time, it would be difficult for him to take care of everyone's safety at the same time...
Once one of Xi Mu and the other two in the front withdraws to provide support, the pressure on the front line will increase sharply, and they will soon be defeated due to casualties and loss of rear support.
With such a powerful magic, why not summon several at a time, but focus on her alone?
Once again, he escaped from the clutches of the mysterious door with extreme maneuvering. Ximu looked into the lifeless eyes of a dead person from afar, as if he had vaguely touched the answer behind it.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but he can’t.
Although Mialods had previously shamelessly mocked Phises, saying that he was not as good as before, implying that he was no longer able to compete with him.
But in fact, the battle between them has not yet been decided. The opponent has begun to weaken, but he is still intact. Is this possible?
Those words were just rhetoric to suppress them and gain psychological advantage for themselves.
He and Phises have been consuming each other for many years, and now Mialodes no longer has the power he had in his heyday!
Among all the people present, Xi Mu, who possessed the "Thorn of the End" and harbored the "will of death", was the most dangerous one. Therefore, he had to concentrate his limited killing moves on her in order to resolve this hidden danger as soon as possible!
But despite this, it is not a good idea to compete with the great magician in terms of magic power with resource reserves.
Even if he fell from the top, he was still a strong man after all. In terms of control over magic and experience in fighting enemies, he could never lose to these young teenagers.
Once the resources they rely on for survival are exhausted, they are likely to be controlled and killed by the opponent's rich practical experience, and die of exhaustion!
We can't keep being led by the enemy, we have to find a way to break the deadlock!
Ximu looked at Ruixia, and a glance completed the most direct exchange of information. The latter suddenly raised her sleeves and countless silver lights flew out from them. She flapped her wings and rose into the air with a "buzzing" sound, unfolding a small energy barrier that covered the sky.
These little things had average resistance to blows, and were quickly shattered one by one after a few attacks - but at the moment of destruction, purple lights caused by the explosion immediately filled the sky, stretching like a waterfall in a sea of flowers, and actually briefly stopped the attack from the sky in mid-air!
A cyborg made from that purple ore?!
Zhui Jin and Wei Xiya looked surprised, obviously they had never heard of such an arrangement before.
But there was no time to marvel. Ruixia shot several small balls with the crossbow in her sleeve, but she did not hit the enemy, but threw them at several people on the front line.
Ximu was the first to react. He used the handle of the knife to twist and throw the ball towards the lake on his side.
Although the other two didn't understand what was going on, they seemed to realize something and followed suit, spreading the balls around themselves as widely as possible.
Click, click, click, click——
The small ball automatically shattered the moment it fell into the lake, and the purple mist that poured out of it instantly solidified into ice, spreading rapidly between points, forming a pale purple ice area directly under their feet!
"...Do you think this will give you the chance to cast magic?"
In the era when Mialodes lived, the development of mechanical engineering was just beginning, so it was indeed a bit surprising to see them use the extraterrestrial minerals containing the law of gravity to this extent.
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that this blockage was intended to allow a respite from the intensive attacks, so that the magician would have a chance to perform large-scale moves.
Ridiculous... After sealing off the sky and underwater, couldn't he just start summoning somewhere else?
The new attack quickly took shape after breaking through the blockade, but in this tiny gap, Sorens had already raised the Moon Staff with both hands and drew a big full moon symbol in the air!
A power that could not possibly belong to the young magician before him gradually shone from his staff. Accompanied by a resounding call, it swept across the entire arena swiftly and unstoppably.
"'The stars are vast, and the full moon is coming'!"
