Arcane Linguist

Chapter 287 The Archmage’s Methods and the Power of Language

"careful!"

Seeing this scene, the guards nearby rushed up and tried to stop him.

But Agates shuttled quickly among the crowd, his figure like a ghost, completely unhindered.

Between the lightning and flint, a dagger as long as a tooth penetrated deeply into Bolas's chest.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

In the void, ripples like water waves suddenly appeared, steep and silent.

"Time stands still"!
The robe worn by Bolas seemed to have been touched by some strange restriction, and the powerful level 9 spell "Time Stop" was cast.

Like an insect trapped in amber, Agates plunged into the scope of this spell and was completely unable to move.

The people watching from a distance saw Bolas moving in the amber space several meters in diameter.

This experienced battle mage did not try to break away from the dagger, because the weapon made of the monster's fangs had a slightly curved arc. If he struggled hastily, his flesh and blood would only be torn apart.

He chose to attack.

Bolas held out his palm and spread it out in front of Agathas.

"Advanced dispelling magic"!
"Dizziness".

Immediately afterwards, the evocation spell "Magic Missile" was condensed and formed one after another with the blessing of metamagic specialties.

The magic missiles shrouded in white light were like machine gun fire, falling into the amber of time and space, filling almost every angle in front of him in a moment.

But at this moment, they are in the realm of "time is still". They have not shot out, but are fixed in place, in a state of just being released and about to fly.

The resonance of Mana communicates with the source of magic power, and the densely packed points block any angle that Agates can avoid.

Finally, Archmage Bolas enchanted these magic missiles with a spell.

"Shadow Passage"!
After doing these things, the effect of "time standing still" has just passed.

Dozens of magic missiles roared out and hit Agates without any suspense.

The magic equipment and spell effects of this high-level assassin had been hit by the previous "dispel magic" and had no protective effect at all. He himself was interfered by the "stun spell" and was immediately beaten into a sieve.

The "Shadow Blessing" he possesses is a passive innate ability. Even if it is frozen by "Time Stop" at the moment of taking action, he still has strong spell resistance.

But Bolas understood his situation and gave these magic missiles the power of the shadow system to ensure that they could cross planes and indeed hit Agathes hiding in the shadow realm.

The top powerhouse in Reiner's world had completely fallen.

The staff knocked down, and hit Agates hard on the head.

Agates's body was bruised and bloody, and his body fell backwards.

But even so, he still firmly grasped the weapon in his hand, using the force of falling backward to bring up a piece of flesh and blood.

Archmage Bolas's body flashed with magical aura, the preset buffs were triggered one after another, and the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the negative effects contained in it could not be completely eliminated.

Bolas covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his face pale.

The people around him used spells to completely smash Agathas' body into pieces, and at the same time looked at Bolas, filled with anxiety.

"Lord Bolas, how are you?"

"I...it's fine!"

Bolas waved his hand, but his steps were a little frivolous, so he had no choice but to use his staff to stand on the ground to steady himself.

"Detect Poison", "Holy Blessing", "Neutralize Poison"...

Spells fell on him one after another, but they seemed to have no effect.

"This seems to be a "curse of weakness" that corrodes the source of magic. Ordinary healing and spells to expel negative effects are useless. No need to waste your efforts. Attack the Kingdom of God quickly and open the duel field! "

Bolas was well-informed and felt it for a while before making a rough judgment.

Everyone was surprised and quickly followed the instructions.

……

"The assassin seems to have been eliminated, but Lord Bolas was also injured."

Roland witnessed the battle from the side and looked slightly surprised.

"There may be a fierce battle to be fought next. You should go back to the Mage Tower and hide first."

He turned around and ordered Princess Rosa, Sofia and Polina to let Al and the cat-eared girl protect them and leave.

Princess Rosa did not force it, and Sofia and Polina also understood the arrangement and obeyed.

But he couldn't help but warn: "Be careful yourself."

"Don't worry, I'm a high-level mage."

Roland waved his hand, and under the protection of Gang Kidd, Trina, Atali and others, he walked to the ring to participate in the attack on the Kingdom of God and the Game Dueling Arena.

A gap has been opened there by Archmage Bolas, and everyone is aiming there, with a clear target to concentrate their firepower on.

Finally, a sound like glass breaking came from it.

The gap in the realm of the Kingdom of God widened and began to be in danger.

Jiudis, the god of referees, stood up and stood in front of them.

"Mortals, the sacred duel cannot be interfered with, please retreat immediately!"

"This is a projection of the rules, don't worry about it, just attack directly!"

Although the other party is a veteran of the Card Association, at this point, he doesn't care about that much.

Tirowai took the lead and attacked the opponent with a spell.

Others also targeted each other and stepped up their offensive.

Roland took out various spell scrolls, cards, wands and other objects from his pocket and participated in the attack.

But he still couldn't help but turn his attention to the alien door summoned by the "Abyss Legion" spell in the field.

Figures shrouded in black smoke were emerging from inside.

That is the devil from the abyss.

Unlike the hell devils, these are the most chaotic and evil existences in the outer plane.

If the devil is born from the negative factors in the emotions of intelligent beings, and has the power opposite to lawful good, this is also a "divine nature" to a certain extent.

Devils can communicate and communicate. Throughout the ages, in the legends of various planes and worlds, there are many legends about mortals dealing with devils, gaining strength and wisdom, or falling into miserable situations.

What they need is the soul of intelligent life, a pure but fallen soul that can be transformed into a new devil, or become a bargaining chip.

That has extraordinary significance in hell.

However, demons are completely different from devils. They are rule breakers and symbols of chaos and disorder in the universe.

In this chaotic and evil species, there are countless possibilities in the world, and even legendary succubi like the Queen of Silver Moon who have become lawful have been miraculously born.

But more often than not, all demons bring is chaos and destruction.

That is a power that even gods and devils fear.But just as capital will always sell the rope that hangs itself, creatures from countless planes and universes also like to summon demons and use these chaotic and evil existences to achieve their own goals.

The level 9 spell "Legion of the Abyss" is such a special existence.

Its essence is a contract-type summoning spell. The conditions for its execution vary from person to person, and the effects are also very different.

Most of the time, it exists in the form of a "gate to another world".

The caster uses magic power to condense a portal connecting the material plane and the bottomless abyss, and then uses the power of the contract to notify the demon lord who is connected with him to send troops to fight across the planes.

Spellcasters who don't want to cause trouble will often cut off this connection after summoning enough demons and end the summons on their own initiative.

In fact, even if you don't take the initiative to end the summons, this kind of portal often won't exist for long.

They will be swallowed up by the planar wall.

But in some special venues and special conditions, the passage can last for a long time.

Some chaotic cultists will even use their lives and souls as sacrifices in exchange for causing greater damage.

This time, Piero was definitely prepared. He and the flaming skull were obviously colluding with the abyss.

In just a few seconds, when Diego took the initiative to die, mist began to emerge from the portal, and some cowardly demon figures emerged.

Immediately afterwards, the Quasai Demon, the Horned Demon, the Snake Demon, the Spider Demon, the Mad War Demon, the Babu Demon, the Flo Demon...

Abyssal creatures of different sizes and shapes filled the entire arena.

Those are not false phantoms projected by the phantom magic cards, but real existences.

The demons in the abyss are launching a long-planned invasion through this portal.

Abyss demons often have no brains. Most of the time, they just act based on instinct and temporary emotional reactions.

It is often the devils in hell who take the initiative to find those demon lords and offer "clever ideas" with sweet words to induce those lords to send troops to fight.

The former uses the latter entirely for their own purposes, but the latter often don't care about being used.

Because they also need the minds of devils to help them cause greater killing and destruction.

There is an idiom in Siris that perfectly describes this phenomenon, which is called working together in a cowardly manner.

"This Judis is too difficult to deal with! Is there no limit to his defensive magic? Why can't he break through so many attacks?"

"We have to find a way to get rid of him, otherwise we still won't be able to stop the Abyss Legion from gathering!"

"But Lord Bolas seems to be injured, so it's hard to take action again..."

The voices of people talking beside him came over, with a bit of annoyance that could not be suppressed for a long time.

Roland came back to his senses and secretly had a headache.

No matter what, Jiudis is still on the road to becoming a god. If you are determined to protect it, we will not be able to break through this kingdom of god in a short time.

Even just now, if Bolas hadn't taken action, it would have been difficult to have any effect.

"Stop it, you guys can't break through here."

Jiudis also noticed everyone's embarrassment and said calmly.

"Damn it!" Tirowei couldn't help but cursed secretly.

Although he knew that the hope was slim, he still couldn't help it and tried to communicate: "Lord Jiudis, can't you be more generous and let us in?"

Jiudis was speechless when he heard this.

This guy doesn't have to give face to the Card Association when he attacks. Now that he can't attack, he's doing this again.

But He still thought about it and replied seriously: "Maybe in your eyes, this matter is very important, but in my eyes, the rise and fall of civilizations and the destruction of races are just passing smoke in the mortal world.

Compared with this, maintaining rules is more important.

I have become a god and ignore your worldly struggles. The duel to maintain the dark game is the foundation of my existence. This matter cannot be accommodated. "

He paused and then said to everyone: "If it weren't for the sake of the Card Association, based on what you just did, I would have launched a counterattack.

I advise you to stop, it's for your own good. "

Tirowei gritted his teeth and said: "There's nothing to say, please forgive us for offending!"

He turned back to everyone and said: "Everyone control your magic power and continue to attack!"

This may be a protracted battle. Even if the realm of the Kingdom of God is broken, some magic power must be left to defend against the demons of the Abyss Legion, otherwise it will only make things worse.

He is already preparing for the next deterioration of the situation.

"It won't work if we continue like this. We have to break through it as soon as possible. This is the only way..."

In the mage tower, Archmage Watson observed for a while and discussed with Holmes on the other side.

"You stay in Silena, don't act rashly, lest you fall into the enemy's trap."

Holmes said: "I understand, doesn't Roland have a Seris proverb, which is called to sway the tiger away from the mountain? If a demon appears here, it will be all over.

But now that Bolas has been cursed with weakness, what should he do? "

Archmage Watson said: "Is it true that only battle mages can fight? That's not necessarily the case. We arcanists also have the strength to look down on countless planes and worlds, and are even more powerful and versatile than battle mages!"

As he spoke, a simple formation was placed on the table.

"That is……"

Holmes saw it and his breath shortened.

Gemstones and various precious materials exude a charming luster and are put into it.

"Prayer spell?

Are you crazy?Under the premise of being guarded by gods, it is difficult for this kind of spell to be effective! "

Because gods are the incarnation and guardian of rules, they often have the greatest luck, and probabilistic events will always develop in a direction that is beneficial to the gods.

This is the law of the universe.

Wish spells and the like are precisely the strangest spells that have the highest probability!

And above the high level, the legendary level is almost a different world.

According to the grading standards of the Magic Age, from level 20 to level 30, level 50, and even level 80, level 100 corresponds to weak divine power, medium divine power, strong divine power, great divine power...

This gap is much higher than the 1 to 15 levels between low-level mages and high-level mages.

In the face of such an existence, the Archmage is not much different from a mortal who does not understand magic.

They are just ants!

"Am I stupid? My research on "Prayer" is much deeper than yours!

According to my yet-to-be-published research, the prayer magic modified by the Seris language has extremely high legal priority. Even if it is a god, I dare to touch it! "

As Master Watson explained, he continued to put gems into the magic circle, and did not stop until he thought the price was enough.

He began to speak out his wishes in formal Serisian: "I hope...

This dark game ends as soon as possible! "
