Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 444: You want to leave after offending the great wizard?
The chief wizard of the army didn't waste any words and raised his hand to shoot an arrow.

The ordinary arrow condensed by magic actually pierced through the barrier. This was the first time that Pascal saw the blue light barrier developed by Junior Brother Rorschach being broken so easily.

Caught off guard, Pascal could only twist his body as hard as he could to dodge, but he was still hit in the leg, fell on the stairs, and rolled to Richard's side.

The wound was like the flesh of an apple that had been left for a long time, and the liquid that oozed out quickly changed from bright red to black and became sticky. Richard forced himself to put his hand on the injured man's thigh.

Before the unfortunate Pascal could even say thank you, he felt a new round of severe pain and a strange "fragrance" at the same time. That was Richard's way of dealing with the emergency - his palm condensed a huge amount of heat, which directly burned Pascal's wound.

"Ah——" the intruder finally let out a scream that delighted the chief of the army.

Paul saw the abnormality of Pascal's wound and understood that Richard was providing emergency treatment for his brother. He also held up the blue light barrier and a [force field wall] behind it.

"Hold my hand!"

Richard took out the second [Gaseous Form] crystal, let the three of them touch each other, and quickly started to prepare to run away.

The entities of the three people became ethereal again and were about to float towards the secret door. Although Richard felt complicated, he didn't know if it was futile to do so now. After all, he would not be able to find any external aid that could fight against the teacher outside the fortress.

The chief of the army was actually surprised by the three people's intention to escape, because they were far away from the core of the ceremony, which allowed him to let go. Ever since he came out of the base camp and went to the battlefield in person, there were always various restrictions.

As a necromancer, once Zhang Yang took action, he would definitely attract the guild's mages and be beaten up by the righteous Senate. The first time he attacked, he encountered an old charlatan from the Church of Order who restrained him. During the period when the anti-magic device was in effect, he detonated the airship, seriously injuring him. He then summoned a small sun to roast him.

When it comes to the last fight for the Emperor, the ceremony is bumped into by students with an overflowing sense of justice, and is discovered by two Valois wizards. Now the spellcasting ceremony has reached the most critical and vulnerable moment, and they have to be on guard against them or they might interrupt the ceremony themselves, causing the super-class magic that has been prepared for many years to fall through.

Fate, do you like to go against me so much? The Necromancer could feel that whenever he took action, he would always suffer many setbacks, but he was not discouraged and even enjoyed such a situation. Now, the three young men finally gave him room to play. He raised his hand again, and the tattoo absorbed the breath of death, transforming it into the eight-ring spell [Withering Wave].

In the conical space with the caster as the apex, the spell touched the barrier, and the barrier turned from blue to dark green, and then collapsed, touching the three virtual escapees. The three groups of "air" were almost blown away. When the [Wave of Withering] brushed over their bodies, Richard and Paul's strength was instantly drained, and Pascal, who was supported by the two of them, once again came into close contact with the stairs.

Their bodies were in a state of extreme decay, a state of true "exhaustion": not only were they unable to mobilize their magic power to cast spells or run, but even their breathing and heartbeats became slow and increasingly weak.

The remains of Schmidt, driven by the necromancer, came over and picked up Paul horizontally. The great wizard also walked up to his disciple, grabbed his head with his large and skinny hands, lifted it up, and injected negative energy into it.

Richard felt immense pain, which was the biological instinct to reject, but he could not refuse it. All the pain nerves were activated first, and then lost. The chief of the army transformed Richard into a dead servant similar to Schmidt, but spared his life and preserved his consciousness.

Richard was controlled to pick up Pascal and return to the secret room with Schmidt one after another.

The floor of the secret room was deformed, and the remains of the unknown wizard seemed to have become the private property of the master of necromancy, and he could manipulate them at will. They came to the second floor of the secret room below the ritual site.

The ceiling here, which is also the floor of the first floor, has mutated blood vessels hanging between the cracks in the stone, connecting the core of the ritual with the blood pool in the center of the second floor. The master's move was a big deal. Unlike ordinary blood pools, the blood flowing in it is the blood of the caster, and the ripples are flashing with mysterious aura and resentment. The temperature on the second floor is very low. After Paul and Pascal were carried in, it was like diving into ice water, and the strong cold penetrated into their bodies.

Legend has it that part of the symbolic world is the underworld belonging to the god of death. The end of the underworld is the coldness of all stagnation and heat death. Every dead soul left in reality is a window reflecting the underworld, and naturally conveys its severe coldness.

This place is filled with unwilling souls. They were wizards in their lifetime and were imprisoned by the Master of the Necromancer after their death. They not only provide cooling in the real world to prevent their flesh and blood from rotting, but also ensure that the spirituality and magic of the blood pool will not dissipate.

With two splashes, Richard and Schmidt, under the control of the chief, threw their fellow apprentices into the pool of blood. The chief waved his hand again, and the blood vessels of the two men all burst, pumping out red liquid continuously.

They should have been in extreme pain, but they were still exhausted and passed out in the pool without even a groan.

After the chief finished doing this, he snapped his fingers and returned control of Richard's mouth. Richard thought he was going to say his last words: "Kill me and return my remains to my parents."

"Do you still think I want to kill you, my dear student?" The chief said with a hint of sadness, "I have changed my mind."

He looked at Richard and said, "Your father is just a mediocre man. His only advantage is that he was born into a good family. If I want to study reincarnation one day, he is worth studying.

"He tried every possible means, spent favors and money to get his offspring to become a necromancer's apprentice, with the only condition being that he would not teach you necromancy. Isn't this ridiculous? No, your father only wanted you to be given the title of 'Chief Mage Disciple of the Army', paving the way for your future, consolidating the family's power, and even expecting you, an outstanding descendant, to make further progress."

It is an obvious fact that Richard has experienced various abnormal transfers since he joined the war, and the attitudes of various generals are different. In short, the influence of off-field interference is somewhat obvious.

Obviously, the off-field factor wanted Richard to achieve merit, but didn't want him to be in danger. It was just like the off-field factor that made Richard become a disciple of a necromancer but didn't want him to learn necromancy.

"I have decided not to transform you into a mindless slave, but only transform your body, so that you will be immortal like my future master.

"At the same time, I want you to indulge your wrong ideas. I want you to witness the greatness of the future empire with your own eyes. I want you to agree with it from the bottom of your heart. After the crown prince and your father are turned into ashes, I want you to sincerely admit that your teacher is right."

At this point, the Necromancer looked at Richard expectantly, but his student just kept his mouth shut, giving up the chance to speak, forcing the Necromancer to suppress his disappointment.

Pascal was surprised to find that the mutated blood vessels were slowly sucking blood plasma from him, which restored some of his strength. Pascal said, "My teacher is Master Kano, he will not let you go."

The Chief's mind had already returned to the spell he had prepared. He did not notice the abnormality in Pascal's blood vessels. He only said: "No one can completely destroy a qualified Necromancer, and the same goes for a ninth-level wizard."

Except for Feuerbach's disgusting reversal ray, the chief had a gloomy face and took Richard away, leaving Schmidt to monitor the situation on the lower level.

The improved version of the super-level spell [Islem's Immortality] is officially launched.
