Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 49: Angels Descend
"Dazzle Bullet" is a seventh-level attack magic of the light system. When it hits the target, it can not only cause strong magic damage, but also have a dizzy effect. Although the effect does not last long, generally no more than ten seconds, in a fierce battle, even a short period of inattention is enough to affect the battle situation. Moreover, when it is fired by the seventh-level magic beast Lightspine Dragon, the power is even better. Even if it is not hit, as long as the target's line of sight comes into contact with the strong white light emitted by the "Dazzle Bullet", it will also produce a dizzy effect. The most common trick used by the Lightspine Dragon in battle is to shoot a barrage of "Dazzle Bullets". They fly everywhere and cannot be hit or seen. It is really inconvenient to fight. If you are not careful, you will fall into its trap and be taken advantage of.
At the same time, under the effect of Holy Heaven's auxiliary magic, due to the matching attributes, the attack and defense capabilities of the Lightback Dragon have been significantly improved, making it more difficult to deal with than an ordinary level seven dragon pet. This is also an important reason why Holy Heaven can "win" the opponent by relying on the protection of the artifact "Angel Robe".
Although it is called "artifact war" by many players, I don't have much confidence to break the best "shield" at this stage with the "Death Touch" which doesn't look like a "spear" in my eyes. The powerful Light Spine Dragon and the high-defense Holy Heaven will probably be ineffective with the "Death Touch". Fortunately, the game is a contest of the overall strength of the players, not a competition between the two artifacts, so there is no need to worry about the honor and disgrace in this aspect. The most powerful skill of the Undead Wizard is "Summoning the Dead", and the hope of winning the game still lies in Hongxing, Taotao and Wuma. The three powers joined forces, and the Destruction Knight Wuma made his debut, and his strength was still above the Terror Lion Knight. Hongxing's three "Life-Calling Spears" were still retained, and he had the strongest attack skills. With the agile Taotao, it should be enough to suppress the Light Spine Dragon. I and other undead creatures held back Holy Heaven to see if he could survive for thirty minutes with the "Angel Robe" under the fierce attack.
After a long discussion with Xue Wuxia, Afeng and other think tanks, we came to the conclusion that if there is no accident, according to the strength shown by the Holy Heaven, I should have a higher chance of winning. After all, the "Angel Robe" is just a relatively hard turtle shell. As long as the accomplice, the Light Spine Dragon, is suppressed, the Holy Heaven should not have any means that can pose a greater threat to me. At most, it will be a draw without a loser. At that time, the referee will make a decision based on our performance. As long as we keep an active offensive, there is no reason to lose to the Holy Heaven. For Afeng's wish for revenge and for a better life in the second half of my life, I must go all out in this battle and use all the means I can to win. I must not fall to the play-offs, otherwise the chance of winning the "Top Ten" will be much smaller.
The seventh round of the competition is about to begin. Since the other two players who possess artifacts, Supreme Honor and Long Xing Tian Xia, are facing the Assassin Goryeo Warrior and the Knight Prairie Nomad respectively, it should not be a big problem for them to win. Therefore, the duel between me and Holy Heaven, the two owners of the two artifacts, has attracted the attention of more players. The strongest undead wizard of the "Resistance Alliance" and the chief priest of the Church of Light, their identities and positions have also given a deeper meaning to this extremely crucial game.
Looking closely at the Holy Heaven wearing the "Angel Robe", the equipment on his body is indeed not ordinary, each piece is valuable, with strong or weak colors of light. Especially the "Angel Robe", the robe flashing with a faint golden light, attached with a vivid white angel with two pairs of white wings, probably because of his strength, he can only show the four-winged light angel for protection, plus the effect of the "Heaven-Returning Technique" attached to the robe, the body is surrounded by floating dots of white light, adding a bit of sacred breath, this wonderful light and shadow effect makes the Holy Heaven look more handsome and extraordinary, no wonder he is sought after by so many girls in the Western Continent, called the "Star of Light", in the larger "recruitment of believers" propaganda activities of the Church of Light, generally he is indispensable. In comparison, I am really a bit dwarfed, ordinary appearance, black and almost no luster of the "Dark Demon Robe" (won by lottery, the texture is inferior, not shiny), it seems too shabby, not in the same class . Listening to the cheers from the audience, those who supported me were all "my own people" or male compatriots with connections. Those who shouted "Shengtiantang must win" had a considerable advantage, and it was obvious that female voices prevailed. Handsome pretty boys are popular everywhere! Seeing Shengtiantang showing a gentle and bright smile, standing on the field and waving to the little girls who supported him, with a high-spirited look, I felt extremely unhappy. If I had known this, I should have put on the "Phoenix Feather Cape". Although it didn't help much in the battle, at least it looked cooler and might "win" some eyeballs. It would be too obvious to put it on temporarily now. I haven't developed such a thick skin yet.
As the bell rang, Sheng Tiantang and I started to act at the same time, summoning our respective pets. The one that appeared beside him was naturally the Light Spine Dragon, and the first one I summoned was Red Star. Thinking back to the battle of the destruction, Red Star killed the unsuspecting "arch enemy" Sheng Tiantang with a "life-seeking flying gun", which must be fresh in his memory, and it might cause a little psychological pressure on him. Neither of us is a profession that can make a quick decision, so we didn't plan to launch a quick attack. While we were on guard against each other, he was busy applying various auxiliary magics such as "blessing" and "courage" to the Light Spine Dragon, and I quickly summoned Tao Tao.
The Lightback Dragon is a rare light magic dragon. It is white and tender, and its body does not look bloated or clumsy. Its appearance is quite "beautiful" just like its owner. Although it is called the Lightback Dragon, it does not mean that its back is bald. There are two bone spurs on it, which can release magic like the dragon's mouth. This means that it can fire three "glare bullets" at the same time, which increases its attack power and makes it more difficult for the opponent to dodge.
Facing the Red Star, Holy Heaven was indeed very wary. Although he did not activate the "Angel Robe" to transform into an angel body guard, he hid his body behind the Light Spine Dragon to avoid being directly attacked by the Red Star's "Life-Calling Flying Spear". As soon as the Light Spine Dragon regained its mobility, it began to fire "glare bullets" one after another, emitting a dazzling strong light, flying straight towards me. As soon as the front bullet was fired, the back bullet was fired. The speed of the dragon's mouth firing was slightly faster than the bone spurs on its back. In the arena, eight or nine volleyball-sized "glare bullets" could be seen flying at the same time. Fortunately, the speed of the shooting was not too fast. As long as I was not affected by the stun effect, with my agility, I should be able to avoid most of the attacks in time.
Hongxing and Taotao also passed the adaptation period one after another, and slowly approached the Holy Heaven, one up and one down. However, when facing the attack of the "glare bomb" of the Lightspine Dragon for the first time, although they had received my instructions not to stare at it, they were still a little uncomfortable for a while. They looked over unconsciously out of habit, and were affected by the dizziness effect. Besides delaying their actions, they were also hit by the "glare bomb" one after another . Fortunately, both of them had relatively high defense capabilities and did not suffer too serious injuries.
As Red Star and Tao Tao gradually approached, they attracted the attack of the Light Spine Dragon. The number of "glare bullets" fired at me was not too many. I used "three shields to protect my body". After getting used to observing with the corner of my eyes and dodging in time, I absorbed 20% of the mental power in the "magic storage ring" and began to use "summoning the dead", summoning Wu Ma and a terrifying giant bear knight to help. But what surprised me was the behavior of Holy Heaven. Contrary to the previous strategy, he did not use the tactic of transforming into an angel to protect his body and then press forward with the Light Spine Dragon. He just used the "glare bullets" of the Light Spine Dragon to prevent Red Star and Tao Tao from approaching. I don't know if he was worried about the "life-seeking flying gun" that Red Star could launch from a long distance. It seemed that he seemed a little hesitant, more like watching and testing - even if he was not very sure to stop me from using "summoning the dead", he should have tried it and caused me more trouble. How could he be like now, too passive, and the shrinking behavior was really not matched with his strength.
The Horseless Knight of Destruction finally made its first appearance in front of the public. It was another brand new type of undead creature, which caused an uproar among the audience. Along with it appeared a Horror Giant Bear Knight that it was familiar with. After my continuous "brainwashing" and instilling the concept of peaceful coexistence into it and the selected Horror Knights, I finally achieved some results, suppressing their hostile nature and cooperating with each other to a certain extent, so as not to cause trouble for me in the battle.
Seeing the appearance of the strange-looking Wu Ma, Holy Heaven finally reacted. A strong golden light flashed, and a two-winged archangel appeared, looming on him, holding a shield in his left hand and pressing his right hand on his head. A soft milky white light emanated from his body, covering an area of about one meter in radius. This should be the so-called "holy light of protection" of an angel. Even with the "angel robe" activated to protect his body, Holy Heaven still did not actively approach, but knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head, and looked like he was praying devoutly. This was a new move that had never been heard of before, and I wonder what tricks he was doing.
It only transformed into a two-winged archangel to protect me, which clearly showed that it underestimated my attack power. It also made such a strange move, which made me unable to guess the intention of Saint Heaven. I was afraid that he would suddenly use some unexpected means. I did not dare to act rashly. I ordered Wu Ma to stay by my side temporarily, and then activated the "Touch of Death". After forming a protective shield around my body, it entangled the Horror Giant Bear Knight beside me. On the surface, it was no different from the past. I used my subordinates as terminals to strengthen my own defense. In fact, the protective shield was just a facade. This time I was really absorbing the spiritual power of the Horror Giant Bear Knight. There was no way. The opponent was strong and I absolutely could not lose. In order to increase the chances of winning, I could only sacrifice myself and achieve the greater good. I used its sacrifice as a price to exchange for the opportunity to summon a Horror Tiger Knight and a Horror Lion Knight again. This was also "bullying" Saint Heaven's weak attack power. If it were other opponents, I would probably not have enough time to dodge, so how could they allow me to absorb the spiritual power of my subordinates so calmly?
As a loyal subordinate who signed the "Soul Contract", the Horror Giant Bear Knight naturally allowed me to absorb it without any resistance, and his mental strength was quickly replenished, while Holy Heaven was still kneeling on one knee and praying devoutly, not caring about the war. The two of us were busy with our own things, as if we had nothing to do with each other, and let the Light Spine Dragon and Red Star and Taotao, who had gradually adapted to the "glare bomb" attack, fight back and forth, which seemed quite weird.
Suddenly, Sheng Tiantang raised his head to the sky, and his hands, which had been clasped in front of his chest, were also raised high up. At the same time, he seemed to throw an object that was flashing with white light into the air. The object was spinning in the air in front of him, and then suddenly burst out with a dazzling light that was impossible to look directly at. It was unclear what had changed for a while, and I only felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the strong light. It lasted for nearly ten seconds, and then the strong light quickly converged and turned into a soft milky white light, which immediately stunned and surprised me.
It's an angel. I rubbed my eyes in disbelief. Yes, it's the archangel with two wings, waving a pair of white wings, wearing a white robe, bare-handed, floating leisurely in the air, emitting a hazy "protective holy light" all over the body. This is not the kind of illusory shadow attached to Holy Heaven, but a real existence like the undead creature I summoned.
"Angel Descends", looking at the archangel that appeared out of thin air, such a light magic flashed through my mind. To be able to create a physical angel out of thin air, it must be the "Angel Descends" magic. The "Angel Descends" of the Light Cleric and the "Angel Possession" of the Light Knight are powerful skills that can compete with the "Summoning of the Dead" of the Necromancer and the "Demon Possession" of the Magic Knight. In terms of power alone, the level and strength of the angels or demons that can be summoned or possessed by the other three skills are relatively fixed, and the initial starting point is relatively high, and they rise step by step, which is quite regular. The undead creatures that the Necromancer can summon are too complicated, from skeleton soldiers to hell dragons, with uneven strengths, and the strength can be said to be extremely different. In addition, "Summoning of the Dead" can be used as a talent skill or learned at the fifth level of the profession, occupying a skill indicator, while the other three skills are generally mastered by completing a trial task after being promoted to the seventh level of the profession. They are additional skills that may not be learned by everyone, and it can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
