Chapter 72 Corpse Explosion (4477)
Gabby was sitting in a carriage, and she hired an ordinary human driver.
In this way, you don't have to pay expensive magic stones. You only need to pay this ordinary person a certain amount of gold dragon gold coins.
Golden dragon gold coins are just gold coins issued by the Golden Dragon Empire, the largest empire under Lilith's hut. Their purchasing power is limited. For wizards, they are just a pile of waste, but for mortals, they are the most valuable trading currency after magic stones.
At this moment, the ordinary human coachman suddenly stopped the carriage, which forced Locke's carriage following Gabi to also stop.
The three centaur coachmen looked forward in confusion. "Why did the wizard-sama's carriage in front stop?"
At the same time, Gabi was also surprised. She lifted the curtain and looked at the human coachman impatiently. For mortals, Gabi did not have the same friendly attitude towards Locke. "What's going on?" The next moment, the coachman turned his head, his right eye flashed with a scarlet light, and his left eye flashed with crazy vision.
Gabby was so frightened by this man's madness that she was stunned for a moment and forgot to recite the incantation. The next moment, the mortal coachman pounced directly on him, chanting "Kill you monster", and then jumped into Gabi's arms, suppressing Gabby Montoya.
Gabby's first reaction was not to fight back immediately, but to raise doubts, "What's going on with this person?" 』
This is just a mortal, and his attack is insignificant to Gabi.
However, at the moment when the coachman pounced on his employer, suddenly, there was a continuous "clang" sound in the ground of the carriage, and vampires emerged from the ground. The horse pulling the carriage was so frightened that it raised its hooves and screamed in terror.
The five wizard apprentices of the Blood Curse Court, with calculations and fatal threats flashing in their eyes, they laughed and stretched out their bloody claws and rushed towards Gabby. They laughed very fast and said:
"These white wizards in Lilith's cabin are really useless, but they are just useless. He used hypnotic magic to hypnotize a mortal, and he was able to scare her so much that she forgot to recite the spell. "
"What's the use of a wizard apprentice who can't fight?"
"It's easier to kill such a wizard apprentice than to kill a pig. Hahahahaha..."
"Kill her first, take her head, and scare the second-class wizard apprentice named Locke Augustine, and we can easily take his head off!" The five vampires threatened Gabi one after another, further reducing Gabi's reaction ability, so that Gabi was so frightened that she froze in place, unable to recite a spell.
At the same time, these apprentices who transformed themselves into vampires were obviously deliberately putting psychological pressure on Locke, who was driving behind, to create panic in a very short period of time, causing Locke to panic, make wrong judgments, make one mistake after another, and then kill Locke at a very small cost.
Just the next moment, the five vampires, who were so fast that their afterimages were about to merge into one, screamed one by one. They lowered their heads and discovered that at some point, the mandrake vines covered with blood-colored lines had wrapped around their bodies, restricting their movements.
"Get away quickly, this kind of magic vine is very fragile."
But the bloody claws of the five vampires fell on the level 7 ominous Mandela vine, but it was in vain and it was difficult to destroy Locke's magic vine.
The Omen Mandela vines can sense hostility, so as soon as they find enemies nearby, they have already locked onto the wizard apprentices of the Blood Curse Tribunal hidden underground. The moment they launch an attack, they have already used their invisibility to quietly wrap around their bodies.
At the same time, Locke's magical pressure spread along the Mandrake vines to the two second-class wizard apprentices and three third-class wizard apprentices.
The faces of these wizard apprentices in the Blood Curse Court suddenly changed drastically.
Invisible pressure fell on every inch of their skin.
That is magic pressure!
"It's Mo Ya, he's not a second-class wizard apprentice, he's a first-class wizard apprentice."
h "How is this possible? Nine months ago, he was still a second-class wizard apprentice."
"Run! The intelligence is wrong. We can't kill him. Instead, we are losing our lives."
Locke's eyes flashed with violent emotions caused by the scarlet echo potion. "It's too late to run away now."
"Just stay with me."
It turned out to be the lurking wizard apprentice from the Blood Curse Court, and they wanted to intercept him on the way. This is indeed the only place to return to the school's headquarters.
I was already very careful, but I didn’t expect that I would still be targeted by the Blood Curse Tribunal.
From the other party's understanding of his situation nine months ago, it can be inferred that the other party must have been targeting him nine months ago when he was still in the patrol team. However, he left the patrol team because he had obtained the breeder's assistant certificate. This made them wait for nine months without finding an opportunity to intercept him.
Until recently, I accepted a task of investigating magic plants, went out, and left the school headquarters.
This is how they found the opportunity.
『I was already very careful, but I didn’t expect that the Blood Curse Tribunal would try to kill me just because I advanced within a year. 』
Fortunately, Teacher Sophia reminded me and asked me to mobilize the patrol team in advance. If I met them nine months ago, I would indeed be in danger. ” Locke responded.
At this time, two second-class wizard-level vampires, relying on the extreme speed and blood claws brought by vampire blood transformation, as well as their excessive combat experience, barely cut off the shackles of the Mandela vines, and then fled in two directions.
Locke sneered and found that his mandrake vine was still dark red. If the opponent really wanted to escape, then the bad omen mandrake vine would not feel any deep hostility at this moment, because the color of the lines would become much lighter.
But now, the Omen Mandela vine is still red and purple.
It's really interesting that these dark wizard apprentices have maintained such a strong will to fight in the face of such a huge power gap and intelligence errors.
Compared with this, the combat performance of Gabi, one of the traditional wizard apprentices in Lilith's cabin, is really far inferior.
Two second-class wizard apprentice-level vampires used their own extreme speed to change directions more than a dozen times while escaping, as if they were really looking for a chance to escape.
But the two of them suddenly looked at each other across the distance.
The eyes of both of them reveal madness, aren't they just one level higher than the wizards? In the Blood Curse Tribunal, it was not like they had never surpassed the rank and killed the White Wizard. Although at that time, they were only third-class wizard apprentices. With their combat experience, they forcibly killed the second-class wizard apprentice White Wizard.
Every wizard apprentice in the Blood Curse Tribunal was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
If they can kill Locke for the Blood Curse Tribunal, they will receive a huge reward from the school, and maybe they can be transferred back to the headquarters, so they don't have to be undercover agents like cannon fodder!
That is their hope to survive!
The next moment, the two vampire apprentices who were still pretending to flee suddenly turned sideways and rushed toward Locke.
The thinking of the two vampires is very simple, that is, they believe that Locke, as a newly promoted first-class wizard apprentice, must have insufficient spell library and is not at the magic level of a real first-class wizard apprentice. Moreover, Locke uses magic vines to attack. They will definitely suffer in medium and long-range battles, and they will definitely not be able to fight back.
Hence, the only chance is close combat!
Through deception, he got close to Locke, and then relied on the speed and strength gained through the second-class wizard-level vampire blood transformation to decide the outcome in close combat.
But their hearts gradually sank, because they discovered that Locke's eyes were not surprised or panicked when they encountered this scene.
It was as if he had expected that they were going to do this.
Locke said: "Hypnosis is a spell from the school of enchantment, right? You have spells from the school of enchantment, and so do I."
The spell ability of the Omen Mandela Vine to sense hostility is, in essence, a sleight of hand spell from the school of enchantment.
The next moment, Locke's Mandela vines removed all the heads of the three previously trapped third-class wizard apprentices and vampire apprentices, and then used the vines to gather death energy toward their heads!
The skull explodes, killing one person, gathering the death energy of one person, and casting a spell.
Originally, this spell requires at least touching the skull with your own hands before you can cast this spell.
But the first-class wizard apprentice has magic pressure, and the magic pressure can be transmitted through the air. In other words, many of the spells of the first-class wizard apprentice no longer need to be cast in person.
The magic pressure followed the Mandrake vines, transferring mana and death energy, and entered the heads of the three vampires that Locke had just picked off, and then threw the vines at the two vampires.
The three heads flashed with a strange green light, and then they screamed, causing the first wave of mental damage, which stunned the two vampire second-class wizard apprentices.
Then the second wave of negative energy is extremely compressed, forming a negative energy explosion.
Two vampires were blown away.
One had a leg blown off, and the other had half of his right hand blown off.
Both of them were dripping with blood.
They did not expect that Locke directly took the third-class wizard apprentice they brought over on the spot, used it as a casting material, cast a spell, and launched an attack on them.
Are these still those "kind" white wizards!
Locke's mandrake vines quickly followed up and turned into drills, dividing their limbs respectively, further reducing their combat capabilities.
At the same time, Locke whispered a spell and used poison berry projectiles at a vampire apprentice. Amidst the explosion of more than twenty dark purple raspberries, the vampire made a hilarious sound and kept rolling on the ground.
Can't control myself at all.
Locke glanced at the vampire. "After all, Skull Explosion only has level 3. Even if I cast it, the maximum power is at level 4. In addition, they are vampires themselves and are immune to the third wave of corpse poison damage and reduce the second wave of negative energy damage, so they did not die in my spell. 』
But the laughter spell toxin I developed is obviously also effective against vampires. However, the vampires transformed by these two apprentices seem to retain a large part of human physiological structure, so it may be because of this that they work. 』
Locke looked at another vampire apprentice and said: "If you are poisoned by my spell, your muscles and nerves will be very itchy. No matter how you scratch them, you will not be able to relieve the itch. You will laugh continuously until you die, which is very painful."
"However, if you are willing to tell whether you have other accomplices in Lilith's cabin, I can let you live temporarily."
The vampire apprentice's eyes have become very frightened.
Although Locke's fighting is still relatively inexperienced, the methods used are both necromancy and magic poison. They are fighting as if they are first-class wizard apprentice seniors in this academy.
It’s too torturous.
This is completely different from those "kind and simple" white wizards, so at this moment, this second-class wizard apprentice has long since stopped thinking about killing Locke and has become very panicked.
"I...I said...no...I can't say, the school has special restrictions on me..."
The second-class vampire wizard apprentice, who had let go because of fear, suddenly turned red, and then yelled like a madman.
Locke noticed that a large number of negative energy particles were converging towards his heart. At the same time, his level 7 mandrake vines felt a deep malice.
That was the malice coming from a first-class wizard apprentice in the Blood Curse Tribunal.
For a moment, Locke felt a strange feeling of being monitored. It seemed that the first-class wizard apprentices of the Blood Curse Court were observing him through the spells he cast on these second-class wizard apprentices.
"Ah, no, I don't want to die, sir, please let me go, let me go." The vampire apprentice used his last ounce of reason to shout.
The next moment, Locke threw out all the two vampire second-class wizard apprentices he had captured.
In less than half a second, two huge masses of blood mist bloomed in the mid-air.
Huge air shock waves went in all directions, flying sand and rocks.
The mortal coachman and three mortal centaurs on the country road were all blown away by this wave of air.
As for Gabby, she could only lie on the ground and hold her head.
Only Locke stood on the spot. He used the green cloth to grab and control the branches and leaves of the Mandrake vine to grow rapidly, forming a parasol to block the air wave.
Locke’s wizard robes rustled in the wind. "This is...a level 5 to 6 corpse explosion technique. If my mandrake vines hadn't noticed it in advance before it was activated, I would have been within the explosion range." The spell is applied to the second-class wizard apprentices of his own school, treating them as human bombs. At the moment when they have lost their use value and are about to betray the school, they will launch a self-destruction attack on the enemy."
Locke shook his head slightly.
The society of dark wizards is really crazy.
Locke thought about the hypnotic magic that vampires used on mortals. I am afraid that the timed activation device of the corpse explosion technique is implemented using hypnotic magic.
Through hypnosis in the minds of those apprentices, it explodes at the moment when they actually have the idea to betray the school and take action.
Locke thought of the first-class wizard apprentice who used magic to observe him from a distance, but it didn't matter, since he was also a first-class wizard apprentice anyway, so he was not afraid of him.
As long as he does not leave the school headquarters, as a first-class wizard apprentice, it will be difficult for the opponent to enter the Lilith hut headquarters.
After all, the difficulty for a second-class wizard apprentice to sneak in is not the same as the difficulty for a first-class wizard apprentice to sneak in.
The traces of black magic on the first-class wizard apprentices are too heavy and very conspicuous. They themselves may be the key targets of surveillance in Lilith's cabin, but it is difficult to sneak in.
So, it is not a big problem for me to be targeted by that first-class wizard apprentice.
Locke glanced around and confirmed that the Mandrake vines had turned back to dark purple, and said: "The scene was a bit tragic."
"Scarlet Echo has such great side effects, it actually gave me a hearty pleasure after finishing the fight. It seems that the long-suppressed nature has finally been released. This is definitely not my own feeling, this should be a side effect of the potion."
"I am not a dark wizard."
"I am a white wizard, huh."
