Chapter 449 It’s all about human effort, which is the power against fate (6000 words chapter)
Boom!

In Blom Castle, a dull and thunderous sound was heard.

Waves of strong magic power surged through, causing violent vibrations.

This is Sinvera's human fortress. It is made entirely of special mountain rocks with anti-magic effects. The towers are nearly a hundred feet high and the walls are nearly ten feet thick.

But the next moment, the spreading fire spurted out with a huge roar.

Like a giant dragon raising its head, flames soared into the sky.

The main hall where Shan Ke was located turned into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

A huge goat skull phantom was suspended in the air, its eyes blazing with light, sweeping across the ground crazily, and between the bricks, like the flames of hell, it continued to rise.

Faen and others were unable to leave the platform for the time being, so they could only apply a shield to themselves and endure the burning of the flames.

Sinvera Sword Master Halvika had been injured in the previous battle. He was squinting slightly and dragging the broad sword with a missing corner to meet Shank's incarnation again.

"call"!
As creatures living in hell, most demons naturally possess natural abilities such as fire immunity, poison immunity, dark vision, telepathy, and summoning.

It took a lot of effort for Fan to break free, but he was already dripping with blood.

The incarnation of the Ogre limited Shank's acquired abilities as a caster, but his innate skills were still there.

Silana once again got rid of the balrog that entangled her, and applied a rigid shield to Fawn. Shank punched it hard and smashed it into pieces, and blasted Fawn's entire body away.

This sword light not only cut off the lasing flame beam, but also shot out from the air, forming a fierce wave of light and slashing towards Shank.

Almost at the same time, the ogre suddenly turned his head and avoided several oncoming gold coins with his keen combat intuition.

"Suffer to death!"

This is a characteristic that comes with the spirit and soul. Like those extraordinary qualities, divinity and spiritual abilities, it is not limited by the limitations of the incarnation body.

Priest Slanna, who was fighting with several flame demons next to her, screamed and quickly threw out a ring shaped like a thorn, turning into a shield in the air and pricking the insect-like spiked demons until they drew blood. dripping.

As if sensing Fan's disappointment, Shank grinned.

"what……"

But...

Fan subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the moment he started, he felt something was wrong.

The next moment, dense light points embedded themselves into His body from behind.

He shouted: "Finger of death"! "

Fan screamed, feeling as if his internal organs were being shocked and mixed together as if they were about to break apart.

Not "the finger of death."

Go berserk!
The sudden increase in power caused Halvika to be thrown away, falling upside down with his sword, and the whole thing was heavily embedded in the nearby wall.

But even with the protection of magical power, the damage caused by this fierce attack is still not low.

He slashed down with the momentum, and the sword light was as dazzling as the moonlight, pouring out with a trembling and violent fighting spirit.

Not fast enough to kill Him! "

He looked ferocious and silently recited the incantation while he was speaking. He had already used the super-magic skill of silently casting spells.

Amidst the loud noise, Faen slammed into the wall.

Shank raised the bone club in his hand. In the terrifying collision that made his scalp numb, the bone made of the high-level monster's leg bone finally clicked and cracked.

“There wasn’t enough boot time and the track wasn’t long enough…

But there was no joy at all on Fa En's face, instead her expression darkened.

Halvika jumped out amidst the firelight and smoke, and used all his strength to slash the sword edge into Shank's body.

Shan Ke stepped forward.

Faen only had time to have such an idea before he was grabbed by several pairs of skinny, barbed insect monster hands, grabbed him hard, and fell to the ground.

"Hahahaha!"

Next, die! "

But under the coercion of Shan Ke, the summoned devils still hugged him tightly and did not dare to let go.

If he hadn't been blessed by various buffing spells before the battle, and his body and strength had been increased to the human limit, he would have been smashed into mincemeat like a corpse at a car accident.

"not good!"

"I have seen through your spell!
For a quick mage like you, there is nothing else you can do except this...

Even many plane laws cannot prohibit this ability.

This is the racial advantage of devils as inter-dimensional creatures.

It was Faen who used the "Electromagnetic Cannon" nearby. Attacks from different distances and directions hit his body one after another.

Immediately, he stretched out his index finger and pointed towards Fa En.

But just as the ogre was about to be beheaded, he suddenly roared, blood surged from his body, and his entire body swelled several times.

"Fawn!"

Faen vomited blood and gritted his teeth desperately before activating the healing power of the ring in his hand.

In a daze, Shank rushed forward again.

"Fawn!"

Slanna exclaimed again.

The bard who was hiding in the distance to distract other demon minions was also secretly anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, Halvika rushed out again and grabbed Shank with his body, delaying Shank's action.

But before anyone could relax, Shank threw Halvika to the ground.

His extraordinary strength, far beyond that of ordinary people, knocked Halvika to the ground with an unstoppable force. Cracks like spider webs appeared behind him, and a moment later, the entire ground sank.

Halvika vomited blood in large mouthfuls, feeling that her internal organs were shattered, and even her internal organs were being squeezed and vomited out of her esophagus.

Shank laughed ferociously, without any nonsense, and once again attacked Faen who was about to distance himself and cast a spell.

His speed was extremely fast, and the blood light lingered around him, like a blazing fist shadow of flames covering his giant hand.

Just before he saw it, he was about to smash Fan's head with one punch.

Suddenly, Shank seemed to feel something and stopped sharply.

His movements were very abrupt, and his whole body seemed to be spinning like a top, throwing himself to the side.

The huge inertia even made him unable to control his body shape and he fell to the side.

Amid everyone's confusion and shock, a staff penetrated the window and came in from the outside, grazing Shank's body and blasting towards the opposite wall.

Amidst the earth-shattering noise, the entire stone wall collapsed and collapsed, directly punching a hole more than ten feet in diameter.

Shank and everyone looked in the direction where the staff was coming from, and saw a figure approaching quickly, followed closely by a huge dragon claw that reached in and dug a big hole out of the window.

Roland's voice came from outside.

"Come out quickly!"

Fine reacted quickly and turned the swordmaster Halvika into a sheep with a "Malicious Transformation" move, then picked him up and ran away.

Silana also jumped out of the window from the other side. With her physique and skill now enhanced by the spell, she landed firmly on the ground in a blink of an eye, and then quickly retreated.

Shank roared angrily and was about to take action, but unexpectedly his foot slipped and he fell inexplicably.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a strong person of this level to make such a low-level mistake.

Shank shook his head and quickly understood.

This may be a law-level effect caused by a level 7 "Limited Prayer" or even a level 9 "Prayer".

Under the influence of the spell, no matter what you do, you will be affected by various effects inexplicably.

"Old...teacher..."

Faen, who successfully escaped outside, gasped and looked in surprise as his teacher Roland stood on top of the green dragon, slowly landing like a legendary dragon knight.

"Why are you here?"

“Fawn, luckily I wasn’t late.

Next, I will help you kill Shank and save the world.

As long as I'm here, Diego's tragedy will never happen again.

Because I am no longer what I used to be. I, Master Roland, can do anything! "

Roland looked calm, looking at his disciple, but felt quite uneasy in his heart.

Because the moment he saw Fa En come out safely, he suddenly woke up.

He changed Phenidites' prophecy again.

"I see……"

If Roland realized something, he whispered to himself.

"It all depends on man-made efforts, which is the real "great prophecy"!
Every intelligent creature actually naturally possesses such supreme power.

As long as there is a will, everyone is like a dragon, and it is possible to cast this legendary spell that is rumored to be able to change destiny.

Seizing a glimmer of possibility in this infinite destiny is the only way to truly control your destiny.

Only those who can practice this are qualified to become true legends! "

Roland felt that his mind was clearer than ever and his will was stronger than ever.

In the dark, the soul is throbbing, and the resonance across the universe has become clearer than ever before.

He was finally able to begin to understand the heavy implications of five thousand years of history.

Roland suddenly had a strange feeling.

That is, at the moment when you dare to say no to fate, you can truly complete the sublimation of your soul and truly grasp the essence of this soul resonance.

At this time, Shank slowly walked out of the gap in the tower and stood on the edge of the break looking at Roland and others.

Trina fluttered her wings and used the floating flying magic to slightly distance herself. The others also retreated and prepared to continue fighting.

Shan Ke suddenly jumped up, his body like a cannonball, and instantly arrived in front of Trina.

The huge fist, with its illusory blood shadow, was like a heavy blow from a battering ram, catching people off guard.

But Trina's body glowed with splendor, and the translucent shield shrouded in light blocked his attack.

"Is that... a magic shield?"

The accompanying mages couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw this scene from a distance.

Roland chose the level 3 magic magic shield, which is a special protective spell linked to his own mana and connected to the source of magic power.

To put it simply, it is to convert magic power into a rigid shield, and replace the vitality of flesh and blood with the durability of the shield.

When the target is attacked, magic power will be consumed to offset part of the damage.

This kind of spell has comprehensive protection and excellent effects, but the consumption is also huge. The original model failed to incorporate the "reducing consumption" metamagic technique, and even has a consumption multiplier of up to 3 times.

But soon, they saw that even with Shank's powerful and fierce incarnation, they could not break through the shield. Instead, they were forced back by the rigid force field, hanging in the air and frowning.

His just blow consumed a lot of the shield's durability, but in the blink of an eye, like ripples on the water, the shield's brilliance was replenished again.

Shank was experienced and set his sights on the two-handed staff that Roland had just taken out.

The simple and unsophisticated branch and the fist-sized gem exuded the charm of a world-class treasure. It was the "Lena Star" staff obtained from the Cowens family.

This is the magic crystal mother lode of Reiner's world, a magical object that contains the essence of a world's leylines. It is also an existence that can be called the "source of magic"!

Although Shank didn't recognize this treasure, he felt the vast magic power emerging from it and instantly understood the reason why Roland chose this low-level protective spell.

There is nothing else, just more blue, don’t be afraid of consumption!
Roland took out a magic card from the magic prop bag he carried with him, weighed it in his hand, and raised it. "Diego Capel (Hero)"

star rating:

"Appearance effect: None."

"Identity: Assistant teacher at Seris College."

"Occupation: Mage"

"Ability 0: Can use all spell cards from level 1 to level "

"Ability 2: Level 6 of Siris language, you can use the magic related to the Siris series of the corresponding level..."

"Ability 3: Controller of light and darkness, obtains light and dark attribute affinity"

"Hidden Occupation: Reiner's Guardian"

"When the field card Reiner World is on the field, you will receive up to three star level blessings (the upper limit of star levels obtained by this effect cannot exceed nine stars), and your attributes will be fully improved."

"Hidden Profession: Rune Scholar"

"When there are Siris series magic cards on the field, you will get the corresponding mastery bonus, and the bonus level is the same as your total star rating."

……

As the brilliance like a flowing rainbow emerged, Diego's figure gradually became more agile on the card, transforming into a translucent soul form and summoned to battle.

He floated beside Roland, his eyes firm.

"That's...the spirit of the contract?"

The mages watching did not recognize Diego, but they recognized this form of magic item.

That is the Siris magic card unique to the Siris school, derived from the phantom magic card...

What Roland used were real magic props with magical abilities, not just cards used for entertainment.

The next moment, Roland took out a large number of spell cards and listed them in the air.

Then, he summoned his soul weapon "Book of Wisdom" and spread it out in front of Diego.

"Serys rune series auxiliary program, combat plan No. 12, executed."

Diego, the Contract Spirit, responded in a gentle yet firm tone: "Understood."

He began to cast spells.

"Miraculous calculation"...

The large handful of spell cards that Roland had taken out before began to shuffle automatically in an inexplicable way. The mysterious power with the prophetic effect determined the order of these decks, so that Diego could serve as a combat partner and draw him at the right time. For the card you want, cast the corresponding spell.

After a while, the shuffling stopped and Diego drew the first spell card.

"Psychic connection"!
Teammates across the field began to establish communication connections to facilitate command and cooperation at the tactical level.

Second card.

"Decision making"...

Diego temporarily switches the deck, skips the original shuffling order, and draws one card from it.

"Destroy the enemy first"...

Cut the cards again and predict the enemy's prediction...

New cards appear.

It’s a level 2 “hypnotic pattern”!
……

While Diego in the form of Contract Spirit was casting a spell, the battle started again.

Roland asked Trina to take off again and create enough distance.

Tatali looked for an opportunity to cut in and successfully held Shank down.

This warrior from the Mata tribe is equipped with the Xingtian Card temporarily granted by Roland and two legendary equipment cards "Axe" and "Bronze Shield", which greatly increases his strength.

In terms of pure strength and combat experience, he was still inferior to Shank's incarnation, and he quickly fell into an obvious disadvantage.

But Tatari is not fighting alone.

The high-level mage guards from Atrein quickly summoned their own familiars or mounts, and ran in formation to resist the demons nearby.

With their assistance, Silana successfully received Halvika, who was seriously injured, and began treatment.

Faen also began to summon the mages and knights of Sinvera to launch another attack.

After re-distributing command to the remaining lieutenants, Fine once again summoned his Thunder Fairy.

This familiar had been severely injured in the previous battle and seemed a little sluggish.

Fortunately, it can still provide the power of lightning and yin and yang.

Faen ordered him to create the "Yin Lei Talisman" again, and then rushed in the direction of the battle.

"Teacher, what's the next step?"

Faen asked in the communication channel of "Psychic Connection".

"Don't worry, I'm letting Tatali test the strength level of Shank's incarnation.

This devil is cunning and cunning, and may not necessarily use all his strength, but after the berserk effect wears off, he should usher in a period of weakness.

When the time comes, the surrounding high-level demons such as the Balrog and Snake Demon will definitely take action to defend them.

We first design to cut off its wings, and then draw out Shank’s trump card..."

Mages never lack powerful spells to win in one fell swoop, but their opponents often also have shields, decoys, and substitutes...

Seizing the opportunity and hitting accurately are the most effective means of damage.

Roland and this incarnation of Shank are also fighting for the first time, and they need to find out each other's intelligence.

There is no doubt that this incarnation of Shank is a melee unit that favors the warrior template, but its natural abilities, extraordinary characteristics and spiritual abilities are unknown.

This is often the most deadly thing.

"He just used some innate abilities..."

Fine quickly told Roland what happened at the beginning of the battle for his analysis.

After hearing this, Roland didn't pay attention to the various manifestations of Shank's incarnation.

He only noticed one thing.

Almost all the attacks and injuries suffered by Fan, Halvika and others were caused by its explosion within short to medium distance.

But Shank's incarnation showed almost no attack methods above long range.

It's just that he moves quickly and reacts quickly, and there is terrain cover in the fortress. There is no corresponding method for Fan and others to take advantage of this.

Sure enough, Fine explained: "I used the magnetic transformation of yin and yang to make Yin Thunder Talisman and paste it all over the interior of the fortress.

Originally, I wanted to use corridors and other terrain to find opportunities to kill, but he seemed to be aware of it and was able to use his natural ability of combat reflexes to avoid cold shots..."

The Yin Lei Talisman mentioned by Faen is a rune spell that uses the principle of electromagnetic transformation to guide the target.

It can guide magnetic field deflection through pre-set points, or fire on a fixed trajectory.

But the reaction speed of Shank's incarnation has surpassed that of ordinary humans, and he can always avoid vital points.

As for using gravity field, quagmire technique, or shadow binding technique, etc.

Basically, all magic principles are based on the resonance induction of magic power and mana power.

Low-level spells are often difficult to work, while high-level spells require time to chant and cast. It is very easy for a big devil with rich combat experience to see through them.

There are some high-level demons appearing around from time to time. If it weren't for the conquering party, they also have many helpers, and those alone would be enough to exhaust their cards.

"This is the difference in hard power. If each basic attribute is stronger, the overall strength will be many times higher.

Although he is only the incarnation of the material plane, the essence of his soul is too powerful. Even if it is only a part of it, it is enough to make people despair. "

Roland asserted.

“This gap cannot be filled for the time being.

However, it may not necessarily be completely unsolvable.

We still have our own advantages, and we can still use them. "

Fa En was slightly startled: "What do you mean..."

Roland said: "He beats his, we beat ours!

Now, you should ignore this Shank and help others get rid of those high-level demons and elite demons above level seven. "

Fa En made a promise and acted decisively.

He has rested for a while now and is feeling better.

Although he is only a quick master, he is still a young newcomer among high-level experts.

But if you can't deal with Shank, why can't you deal with ordinary Balrogs, Snake Demons and the like?

That's called pinching with one hand.

Others are also not idle, performing their duties and doing what they should do.

Roland set his sights on Shank, who was fighting with Tatali and had the absolute upper hand.

The other party suddenly became excited, seemed to sense something, and quickly retreated towards the fortress.

Everyone in Tata was a little confused.

what's the situation?
His reaction was a beat slow, and then he chased inside.

"This guy is ready to abandon those devils and use the army to surround us!"

Roland estimated the risk of getting into the fortress and fighting with the opponent. He suddenly waved his hand and guided the electromagnetic force to build an invisible channel in front of him.

His body shot out like a cannonball, and he jumped down, catching up with him at an astonishing speed.

This is also the use of the electromagnetic gun, except that the cannonball is changed to itself.

Before approaching the ground, Roland canceled the electromagnetic force on his body, floated down using the feather falling technique, and then maneuvered again.

Everyone saw him dodge down at an astonishing speed, and then bounce up straight in a moment. His trajectory was extremely weird.

This was actually the result of the cooperation of the contract spirit Diego around him in casting spells. What no one noticed was that Roland completely left his actions to the other party.

That was due to the advance instructions of "decision-making skills" and "magic calculations".

He himself cast spells secretly during this process.

There are no spells, just a stick in hand, casting spells as if they were written out of thin air.

Unique to the Seris School, the written spell-casting technique using a staff as a pen has already taken shape as an "electric" character.

In the flash of lightning, several gold coins were fired in rapid succession with astonishing efficiency, hitting different locations in a confusing way.

Shank's incarnation was blurry, and his extraordinary agility and honed fighting instincts allowed him to quickly dodge the attacks of the first few gold coins.

But at this moment, suddenly, a gold coin hit his shoulder blade, making his body stiffen and he paused.

The next moment, bullets hit the shoulders and backs, heads, legs and feet, chest and abdomen...

Blood splattered everywhere, and injuries occurred almost simultaneously.

Roland hovered in the open space a hundred feet away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Successful...

Prophecy is indeed the most exquisite spell among the three axes of the mage. This allows me to predict the opponent's actions in advance and make faster decisions! "
