Heart of the Castle

Chapter 533 Self-help succeeded, bad result
When any enchantment magic is forcibly broken, it will cause backlash damage to the user. The stronger the magic, the more serious the backlash damage will be.This is the common sense of magicians, so after casting enchantment magic, most magicians will choose to stay nearby in order to deal with accidents at any time, and dare not leave at will.

Merkativo's Great Rift Ward may be the only exception, though.

The most basic requirement for being able to cast Merkativo's Great Cracking Barrier is that the spellcaster must reach the level of a grand magister.Of course, it is far from enough to barely achieve it. The caster must also have a deep understanding of a certain source of power, so that he can use this source of power to trigger the Merkativo Great Rift Barrier.At the same time, every time you use this quasi-legendary magic, it will cause some damage to your original power.

For a magician, this is obviously a heavy price.The damage to the original power is not irreparable, but it can only be recovered slowly by meditation, and there is no medicine to supplement it. The time and energy consumed are by no means a small amount.

After paying such a heavy price, the effect of Merkativo's Great Breaking Barrier is of course astonishing. If the target of this quasi-legendary magic is a creature, it can temporarily make the creature lose all the ability to cast magic and divine spells, even including A supernatural ability rooted in the blood; if the target is an item, it can destroy any magic item and alchemy potion below the legendary level, turning them into worthless garbage; even the artifacts left by the gods will be destroyed Lose all abilities within the duration of the magic barrier.

What is even more reassuring is that since the magicians have researched this quasi-legendary magic from the scriptures of the lord of the elements, Merkatiwo, the Great Rift Barrier has not been forcibly suppressed within the time limit of the magic effect. cracked records.

It is conceivable how terrified Fire Wizard Juno Amerist felt when there was a crisp cracking sound in his ears.

Due to the confrontation between the original forces, there is no room for any tricks. Although every time the lightning and the fireball collide with each other, the light spots that burst and splash are mainly fire elements, but with the help of the almost endless supply of magic power from the magic pool, the fire Magic has gained a decisive upper hand.

The blue-purple lightning was chased by the blood-red fireball and flickered endlessly in the sky. Mr. Dish no longer even made occasional counterattacks, and used all the original power of lightning to protect himself.The fire magician is just the opposite. The fireball transformed into a fireball has expanded several times compared to the beginning, like a shooting star with a long tail. The momentum became more and more astonishing.

Although this approach increases the attack power of the fireball, the magic power consumed is doubled. If there is no channel with the magic power pool, even the kingdom magister will not be able to last for a long time.But now is the best choice. With the support of the magic power pool, the fire magician is squandering the original power of the flame. There is a wonderful feeling in his heart that is expanding, as if he has mastered all the mysteries of the magic world. It can make the earth crack and the long river stop flowing.

Seeing that after several impacts, the speed of the lightning has gradually slowed down, and the turning point has lost its flexibility. The fire magician let out a wild laugh, "Frederick, give me a hard time!" !” The howling sound pierced the sky like a steel wire, and Juno Ameriste mobilized a stronger flame force and crushed it forward.

Victory is decided!

It sounded like the sound of the crystal ball bursting into Juno Ameriste's eardrums, making his originally confident expression stiffen immediately, "How is that possible? It is impossible for the Merkativo Crack to be..." He The sound was suddenly interrupted, and then the intense flame energy surrounding the body disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never existed before.

The fire magician let out a terrible howl, and his body spun and fell from a height of thousands of meters.He has used the power of magic to soar in the sky countless times, but this is the first time he has fallen out of control. The fierce wind howled over, tore his robe, and opened his mouth to chant When the magic spell was poured in, the coldness penetrated to the bottom of my heart.

Jonuo Ann Merister's entire body was shrouded in a panic she had never experienced before. The backlash damage caused by the forcible cracking of each enchantment spell was different. Some suffered serious damage to the internal organs, and some had cracks in the skin. , and some are not physically injured, but mentally hit.

Since no one has successfully cracked the Merkativo Great Disintegration Barrier, of course there is no record of backlash damage. "What exactly happened? What is the backlash damage?" The fire magician tried his best to concentrate his thoughts, but it became very difficult to do what is usually easy to do. His thinking seemed to be stuck with a layer of sticky glue. Even the passage to the magic pool was blocked...

The fire magician could still think that he must regain his consciousness immediately, and he must immediately cast a spell—flying spell, teleportation spell, feather fall spell—these are all fine... as long as a random spell can make him fall from a high altitude, it will be dangerous. break away.

But Juno An Meriste couldn't do anything, those magics seemed to have disappeared from his mind, "It's almost like being shrouded in the barrier of Merkativo's Great Rift..." He said to He said to himself, "If you can write this down, maybe you can leave a big mark in the history of the Mage Guild."

And he felt completely free now, as if he had everything in his hands.The sound of the wind coming from the ear seems to be less sharp and unpleasant, but full of temptation like a lover's whisper, "Come on, come on..." The voice seemed to say, "Give up thinking, and you will find eternal peace .”

The fire magician showed a dazed smile. The last thing he saw was the earth spinning and rushing towards him at a suffocating speed, and then a brighter light than the golden sun lit up in front of his eyes.

What Juno Ann Merister didn't know was that he ended up falling straight down on the hard ground from a height of thousands of meters. Although the magic props worn on his chest, waist and fingers were automatically triggered in time, the surface of his body Several magic defenses were formed, barely saving his life.However, his head and body were still severely injured, the air in his lungs was violently squeezed out, blood spurted out from his mouth like a fountain, and soon gathered under his body into a dark red pool of blood.

The reversal happened so suddenly, Dian Guang continued to hover in the air for several minutes hesitantly, before he could be sure that the fire magician had indeed fallen solidly, and it was not a trap or a disguise.Then the electric light quickly flew down to the ground, and the blue-purple light gradually faded away, but what was revealed was not the face of the old magician Disch Friedrich, but a pale and tough skeleton with faint electric light.

"Tsk, I thought it was over." Skeleton touched his chin with his hand, and a hoarse voice sounded like bones rubbing against each other in his throat, "It was really dangerous just now, as long as this guy can hold on for a few more seconds , I am afraid that this body will be destroyed. Although it is not a big problem, for me, Disch Friedrich, a master alchemist, being defeated by this method is not the last time. The result of hurting self-esteem."

Looking at the body of the fire magician soaked in his own blood not far away, the flames burning in Dish's eye sockets seemed to have some inexplicable emotions, "What an idiot...a guy as stupid as that Merister back then , That’s not how magical power is used.”

Dish raised his pale hand bones and snapped his fingers, a mass of warm white light appeared on the motionless body of the fire magician. What surprised him a little was that the white light penetrated into it little by little, while the The blood no longer continued to spread and expand.

"He didn't die? This guy's life is really tough." Dish muttered and pushed his mandible back to its original position, "But it's really strange. Could it be that the majestic fire magician even noticed that the magic power in the magic pool was about to run out? Can't you?"

The old magician in the skeleton state waved his hand while talking. He was just trying it out, but the bluish-white teleportation magic flashed immediately with his movements, and then disappeared quickly. The fire magician who was still in a deep coma also Disappeared together without a trace.

"Is this... the feeling that we have regained communication with the Heart of the Castle?" Mr. Dish put his bony hands in front of him to check, and said with some doubts, "What kind of power can actually forcibly destroy Merka? Tivo's Great Cracking Barrier? This is not in line with common sense..."

Before Mr. Dish's words fell to the ground, there was a sudden loud noise behind him. He quickly looked back, and the scene in front of him almost caused the silvery white flames in his eye sockets to spurt out.

"Damn the gods..." He moaned hoarsely, "What happened just now? The palace and the Ash Fortress...how did they disappear?"

He should have been surprised, and not just Master Disch Friedrich, everyone nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets when they saw the palace and the Ash Fort disappeared together.These two buildings disappeared very quickly, as if they were still standing in the royal capital Fermeyer a minute ago, but they disappeared completely in a blink of an eye, leaving only the pure blue sky that was once blocked by the towering body of the Ashes Fortress.

"My gods, what happened just now?" Marquis Osiris blurted out, with an expression of horror and panic on his face, he stretched out his hand to grab the shoulder of a soldier from the Northern Territory behind him. "Tell me, what did you just see? How did the palace and the Ash Fortress disappear?"

The soldier's performance was ten times more horrified and a hundred times more terrified than the sky knight. Marquis Osiris felt that if his arms were not supporting him, he would definitely fall to his knees. "Just now...a huge black figure crashed into the Ash Fortress just now...then...then..." The soldier's voice was trembling, and an abnormal blush appeared on his face.

"Then what?" Marquis Osiris asked anxiously. Seeing the sharp light from the sky knight's eyes, the soldier's voice became even more broken and trembling. I'm afraid no one could understand him from it. mean.

"Your Excellency, Marquis Osiris, not everyone can bear your anger. If you don't want his life, then it's best to let him go." A steady and powerful voice came from behind the sky knight, and Marquis Osiris felt his heart skip a beat. , Seeing that pink foam had begun to appear at the corner of the soldier's mouth in his hand, he hurriedly let go, and the soldier suddenly collapsed like a ball of mud.

The Marquis of Osiris turned his head and saw a burly knight wearing khaki heavy armor, an exquisite steel wire cloak on his shoulders, and holding a gleaming bear-headed battle ax standing behind him, "Sorry, you are..."

"I am the vassal knight of the Griffon Lord, Donna the Roaring Bear." The burly knight said in a muffled voice, "Your Excellency Marquis Osiris, just like this soldier, I witnessed the whole process of the collapse of the Kingdom and Fortress of Ashes , if you have any questions, I think I can answer them for you."

Marquis Osiris nodded to Donna, "Of course I have a lot of questions, but what I want to know most is..." His face suddenly became very ugly, "What did you just say? What happened to the palace and Ash Fortress gone?"

"Collapsed, very quickly and completely." Donna told the sky knight with a steady voice, "There is no palace, and there is no castle of ashes. Now there is probably nothing left there except rubble."

"You...you're lying!" Marquis Osiris almost roared, with faint blue veins showing on his handsome face, which actually looked a bit hideous, "The Ashes Fortress shoulders the heavy responsibility of defending the palace, every brick and tile All of them are engraved with powerful magic runes, second only to the ancient alchemy magic on the gates of the royal capital. Even if you hit it with a heavy battering ram for an hour or two, it may not be able to destroy one of the high walls! Not to mention letting the Ash Fortress collapse in an instant!"

Donner made a gesture of spreading his hands, and a disapproving expression appeared on the face behind the visor. "But what I saw was that the building collapsed like building blocks. When the huge body fell, it also crushed many other buildings in the palace."

"If you dare to deceive the head of the Knights of the Iron Guard..." Marquis Osiris had just spoken halfway, when a horn sounded from the direction of the northern city, "Beep beep beep beep—" the horn whimpered in a low tone, With a strong ominous breath.The face of Marquis Osiris suddenly became paler than milk, and the hands holding the hilt of the Fury of Nature involuntarily loosened.

More horns sounded later, some were so far away that the drifting sound was almost indistinguishable; some were closer, and the loud sound seemed to be ringing in the ear. "Beep, beep, beep——" every horn is repeating the same low, moaning tone, and these voices gather together, roaming the streets and alleys of Fermeyer, on the top of the towers and spiers of the city of glory Hovering around, it sounded like the whole city was crying.

"No... the tone is... His Majesty's death... no, no, no! I don't believe it" Sky Knight suddenly rushed towards the city like crazy, the roaring bear Donald instinctively He took a step forward, but in the next moment, he forcibly restrained his urge to block the Marquis of Osiris, and instead followed the Sky Knight, loudly issuing a warning.

"Knights of Riat, get out of the way, Marquis Osiris is going over!"

Tang Na's move is undoubtedly correct, because the Marquis Osiris, who has been distracted by the sound of the horn, can be regarded as one of the most dangerous opponents.Due to the order issued by Donner, when Marquis Osiris strode forward along the ramp leading down to the city, the soldiers of the Northern Allied Forces stepped aside one after another, without causing any hindrance to his pace.

Instead, those who hindered the Sky Knights were soldiers of the Royal Capital Guard.They are attacking upwards along the ramp. Because the equipment, training and combat experience of the Northern Alliance Army are higher than those of the King's Guard Army soldiers, they are fighting very hard, and almost every step forward has to pay a heavy price. Blood had already stained the steps under their feet.

When they discovered that the formation of the Northern Allied Forces retreated to the left and right for no reason, more than one person felt ecstasy in their hearts, "These northerners can't hold it anymore!" A voice yelled loudly , "For His Royal Highness the Regent, go!"

They rushed up the ramp very fast, but retreated even faster. Whether it was a knight in heavy armor, a sergeant major holding a sword and shield, or an ordinary soldier, they were all pushed down the ramp by an incredible force. overturned down.In just a split second, the attack of the royal guards suffered unprecedented setbacks. Many people lay down under the city wall and groaned loudly, reaping bruises all over their bodies and many broken bones.

The Marquis of Osiris didn't even look at the damage he caused to the Royal Guards. Now he had no room for other thoughts in his mind, and the only thing that lingered in his mind was one sentence, "Your Majesty is dead! Dead! Dead! "

"Your Majesty is dead?" The same words were said in a different tone from Tomad Jansen, acting head of the Death Knights, and the golden eyes also had a taste of disbelief.After thinking for a while, he slowly lowered the saber that was being raised to give an attack command from the air, and then inserted it back into the scabbard at his waist.

"Everyone of the Death Knights, listen to me." There was a bit of regret and the same amount of joy in the voice of the Lord of the Eyes, and his scrutiny glanced over the faces of the Death Knights with puzzled expressions, " It seems that we don't need to fight for the time being. Our King Arthur XIII - the only heir of His Majesty Arthur XII the Dragon King - has just died. Soon, we may need to see a new King!"
