winter era

Chapter 26 Broken Bamboo
Contrary to its rustic name, Edmund's Laser Beam is actually a pretty fancy spell.

Kaos squinted his eyes outside the valley and could clearly see that the void around Edmund was gradually collapsing due to the high temperature, distorting into a foggy scene.The dark golden glow quickly gathered and condensed on the ruby ​​tip of the scepter, and the terrifying high temperature made the surrounding space appear as if it was burning.

"It's really a very beautiful spell..." Looking at the scenery in front of him, Kaos couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart.

A god-like light shone on the tip of the staff, and the power of fire burned in the air.The red-robed Edmund is like the God of Fire portrayed in the statues of heretical gods, with a sunken flame surrounding his body, turning the surrounding space into a ball of fiery light.

In front of the dazzling light, the artificial appearance of those ice dragons and golems looked like clumsy oil paintings, full of inorganic feeling.Like a curtain, all the clumsy embellishments are for the last sparkle.On the entire north windy ice field, only a little light on the tip of the staff was reflected in Kaos's gray pupils.

If that energy poured down, it must be able to penetrate the long-frozen northern ice sheet, right?Should it be said that it is a terrifying spell that can only be cast by a great wizard who specializes in fire?Coupled with the double attack brought by the ice dragon and the golem, it is as if the picture of the ancient epic is reappearing in front of people.Even Kaos, the great wizard, squinted his eyes and looked at the bright scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart.

However, naive.

Without any formal wizard battles, without any actual combat experience, maybe it's just so naive.

"In the end, there are no restrictions, and you use this level of unilateral attack when you come up. Should I say that you are too lax with me?" Kaos looked at the energy ray that was about to erupt in front of him, and grabbed the The black stick easily draws a black arc from left to right.As if the space was torn apart, a pitch-black crack gradually spread to the left and right along with the line.

In front of Edmund's suddenly unsightly face, the fiery laser light suddenly burst into a brilliance that was hard to see directly, and without hesitation, it followed the straight line and sank into the dark crack opened by Kaos.

And the next moment after entering the crack, the first ray burst out from the other end of the black line almost without any delay.The nail-shooting spell, which was as fast as light and had a temperature higher than the sun, pierced through the barrier of the fortress in front of Kaos without even delaying in the blink of an eye.And behind the fragmented dark golden barrier, there were three golems that were unlucky enough to stand in a straight line and were beaten into a mixture of molten iron and magic patterns by the spell released by Edmund himself.

Unconventional magic, space gate - mirror reflection.

"Do you know that the first spell between wizards and wizards is the space anchor and not anything else?" Looking at Edmund's distorted face, Kaos raised his hand and shot a Crosalmi arrow.Then he exploded the head of an ice dragon who was loyal to protect the Lord.

"Because that's not a prudent measure to prevent others from escaping." Kaos said while making a clenched fist gesture at a steel golem.The combination of the brain's thinking and the pervasive power in the space refers to that space.The steel golem was like a piece of paper built by someone, and it was easily trampled into a piece of scrap iron by the great wizard.

It couldn't be easier, this kind of thing.It is infinitely easier than checking paintings on straw paper back then.

As long as those structures appear in your mind, magic will come into being.The magic addiction bursting out of the body will also dissipate a little.The horror of abandoning the shadows is perfectly represented in the mind and spirit of this moment.

"It's to prevent unilateral slaughter. After all, for the power of space, everything is so fragile and powerless. Any attack and defense becomes meaningless. For example, the mirror reflection I just cast, Like now..."

The gesture quickly transformed into several forms with different meanings under the slightly dull but tense gaze of the great wizard on the other side.The vibrating power in the space echoes and contrasts with the thoughts turning up in Kaos' mind, completely condensing Kaos' thoughts into real energy.The final result is that the giant dragons flying in the sky are all affected by Kaos' spells, falling one after another from the sky like pigeons hit by bullets.

The head was severed by an invisible sharp blade, the chest was pierced by an invisible spear, and the wings were easily broken into dozens of pieces.The scales all over his body exerted pressure inward, and exploded like a punctured rubber ball.The other bones were all blown into pieces, and they could only howl in the open space, completely unable to wave their wings and mandibles to attack again.The scene I had seen in the imperial capital before was like a storm falling from the sky.The pained roars echoed by the ice dragons and the bright red dragon blood splashing all over the sky also set off a small but extremely terrifying storm in this small valley.

A quick and easy carnage.It's so fast that even Kaos himself can't imagine it.

As many waves stirred up by the thoughts in Kaos' mind, as many ice dragons would fall from the sky in pain.As many gestures as Kaos changes in his hands, as many golems will distort and explode.These copied products, products without self-spirit can never perceive the sense of fear conveyed from the soul before the space distortion.A one-sided victory is a matter of course.

They were pinched and exploded one by one like dolls, and dismantled one by one like dolls.And for some reason, none of the three Edmunds took action to stop the massacre, but allowed Kaos to continue to torture.

Is it too shocking?Still considering the next countermeasures?Or is it completely unaware of this situation?

"Newbie, don't make such a surprised gesture." Kaos stood in front of the three of them and snapped his fingers provocatively.A steel golem that was activating the rune and was ready to charge at any time exploded into pieces.The gust of wind made Kaos' pale face look even more gloomy. "Obviously it's your decision, isn't it?"

The image like a ghost made the cowardly Edmund's eyes flicker.After all, fear is a clearer impression than anything else, and his reaction is not just due to his personality.Kaos had no intention of explaining anything to the wizard trio, but just gestured to another steel golem to pull the trigger.The position of the space immediately shifted to Kaos' side, and the invisible sharp blade pierced through the core of the golem in the blink of an eye, making this guy without brain and blood stop his activities.

These guys don't understand the steps of the battle between the great wizards at all.They are just academics who have come out of their ideal country.Just relying on my own blood and my own ideas, I thought I could change the world.

Can the war between great wizards be made up simply by using these things?Facing tens of thousands of troops, the great wizard really wanted to retreat.But in the face of more than a dozen dragons, and they are still dragons whose minds have been castrated, then there is no need for the great wizard to bury his feelings.For the great wizard, the calculation method is the number of lives, not the quality of life.

A group of idiots who treat war as a game, take it seriously like a fool.

"Maybe in your eyes, this kind of battle is just a very simple numbers game, right? In the war of mortals, these things of yours may really be able to reverse the outcome of a battle. A dozen dragons can at least It is worth 1 troops. And those steel golems are close to invincible for ordinary troops. I have no doubts about the combat effectiveness of your little gadgets. They are undoubtedly heroes on the battlefield. But, I I think you may have misunderstood a basic concept."

He smashed an iron golem effortlessly, and watched the iron block that had become like plasticine fall from the invisible palm on the ice field and smashed cracks one by one.Kaos smiled and talked about his theory of war to the three obedient students in front of him.

"War is not a game that can be won by numbers. There are more important objective factors underneath. For great wizards like us, the number of people is a very tricky factor. Endless attacks, high-intensity squeeze Brain power and spatial twists and turns have become irrelevant, even using spiritual spells will make our heads explode. But please pay attention."

"The real war is never about numbers, but the most despicable place, purely for killing and being killed."

The black wizard unceremoniously shot all the remaining Crosalmi arrows at the several great wizards standing on the ice cliff.The last few ice dragons and steel golems who braved the savior were twisted by the power of the dense arrow into a monster-like mixture.

A blatant assassination, but extremely effective.

It does not conform to the logic of a mage at all, but it completely conforms to the logic of killing each other.If it weren't for the sacrifices made by those ice dragons, all the great wizards present might have died under this little thing.Faced with this behavior that obviously did not conform to the normal script, the confident great wizards on the cliff were first surprised, and then all showed expressions of anger.

"...Don't you think you are despicable? Great Wizard Kaos? Using this method?" The brown-robed wizard waited until the ice dragon in front of him took his last breath, then frowned and followed the ancient Etiquette expressed his question to Kaos.

Counting the last few ice dragons, it took a total of 15 seconds.Even the time passed by ordinary people in a daze, the 27 ice dragons, [-] steel golems and the fortress barrier were all destroyed.Although the enemy's power was used, the terrifying speed and destructive extraordinary use of space magic made Kaos' power show the tip of the iceberg.

That's the power he really showed,
The wind and thunder, and the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves are not enough to describe this terrible speed.In the eyes of Edmunds, Kaos wiped out all the miscellaneous soldiers with just a daze, and this made them even more unacceptable.

"You, who obviously can't lose the slightest bit even in the frontal battlefield, why did you resort to such despicable means?"

"Despicable? What do you mean?" Kao calmly held the black staff and pointed it at the huge head of the still panting ice dragon, squinting his eyes and spit out a word full of power.Quietly watching that head explode into countless fragments, watching its blood radiately sprinkle the entire ice field, dyeing the pure white with red.Then he turned his head and looked at the great wizards on the cliff with a smile.

"Either you die, or I die. Death in battle is a two-sided thing. Why should you be reprimanded as despicable for one side's behavior of taking advantage of the rules?" Kaos suddenly showed a gloomy, extremely disgusting look on his face. smile.

"And you want to say despicable... Do you mean that my behavior just now was despicable, or that my current assassination behavior is despicable?"
