Chapter 285: Defeating the Storm
At this moment, after being armed with rune constructs, Sunaifa looks more like a ranger than a traditional mage based on his appearance.
[Breath of the Wild] consists of five parts in total, including chest armor, wrist guards, leg armor, boots and headgear.
The breastplate is the largest piece of the entire set of runes. It covers the torso. It is entirely silver and has a tight-fitting design. The overall body shows a metallic luster and perfectly fits Sunaifa's body curves.
The surface of the breastplate is smooth and textured, as if it is made of the purest silver.
The silver wristband wraps around the forearm and extends all the way to the palm. The design is particularly exquisite. It is composed of multiple layers of thin sheets similar to metal sheets, and each layer of thin sheets is combined in a manner similar to inlay.
At the very center, where Sunaifa’s wrist and palm meet, there is an extremely complex runic array, shining brightly.
From a distance, it looks like a sapphire is inlaid on top, which looks extremely noble.
Tight leg armor wraps Sunaifa's slender legs, and the smooth lines are perfectly integrated with her body shape, showing a sense of strength without losing the beauty of agility.
Hum The surface of the leg armor also shines with the unique cold luster of metal, echoing the torso and chest armor, forming a unified style.
In terms of design, the leg armor adopts a lightweight construction concept.
Through precision hollow carving techniques, the weight is greatly reduced while ensuring protection, allowing Sunaifa to move more freely.
At the knees, the leg armor is particularly thickened and designed in the shape of sharp knee pads.
Not only enhances the protective power, but also adds a sense of mightiness visually.
What is particularly eye-catching is that the edge of each piece of leg armor is inlaid with a circle of fine silver runes.
The combat boots are white, and the boots tightly wrap around Sunaifa's calves. The boots are also inlaid with fine runes.
At the ankle, the combat boots cleverly form an exquisite silver ankle brace, which is engraved with a rune array that is exactly the same as the "sapphire" on the wrist brace.
The front end of the boots is slightly raised, as sharp as an eagle's claws.
The design of the headdress is particularly complex. The interlaced metal pieces form a three-dimensional sharp shape. It is different from the wrapping structure like a helmet, but more like a skull, only sharper and more gorgeous.
Each component is directly connected to each other, and the connections are fine rune patterns. The five components together constitute the powerful construction effect of [Breath of the Wild].
The moment [Breath of the Wild] took hold of him, Sunaifa clearly felt that a powerful force was pouring in from the ground beneath his feet.
This is the rune circle on [Breath of the Wild] that is drawing the power from the earth for Sunaifa's use.
The most powerful thing about rune construction is that it can shrink a powerful large magic circle into a portable magic circle.
"Breath of the Wild." Sunaifa murmured to herself, a smile appeared on her face, obviously she was very satisfied with the powerful power of the rune construct.
Why does a first-level mage possess such a powerful thing?
This is simply incomprehensible to ordinary people.
But Sunaifa did not consider this: a person who can be called a hope of recovery, no matter how amazing things he does, is reasonable.
She just understood better why Gothe was the person predicted by the War Mother Oretia.
The next moment, the cold color in Sunaifa's blue eyes suddenly became stronger.
How to break the situation?
The answer is already there.
Phew!
Sunaifa took a deep breath, raised his right hand that was not holding the bow slightly, and made a gesture similar to "shooting" diagonally upward, with the tip of his index finger pointed in the air.
The next moment, a bit of blue light suddenly bloomed at her fingertips, and quickly extended, forming a floating halo with her fingertips as the center of the circle.
Immediately, Sunaifa flicked the blue halo and let it fall on the bowstring of [Blizzard].
The blue light flashed past.
It is another perfect ice spell.
Even though Ruian has never seen the rune construct again, he can still see clues from the changes in Sunaifa at this moment and smell a signal that something is wrong.
But Sunaifa didn't give him much time to think.
She drew her bow again.
A ray of blue light that was far more dazzling than before lit up on the bowstring.
The fine ice crystals are like stars, constantly emitting arc light.
As Sunaifa pulled the bow string tighter, ice crystals rotated and condensed in the air.
At the same time, the "Sapphire" rune array on Sunaifa's wrist guard also flashed fluorescent light and merged into the Ice Arrow.
This is the rune effect of [Breath of the Wild]: level 4 spell damage increase.
A moment later.
A tsunami-like terrifying energy has been condensed.
"This arrow?!"
Ryan felt an unprecedented threat and noticed some signs of something bad.
Phew!
The Arrow of Perfect Ice shot out, and a bright blue flame swayed from its tail, like a shooting star against the deep ink-black night.
Looking at the dark blue arrow falling from the sky, Ruian's eyes flashed with solemnity, and he gritted his teeth unconsciously.
Him He still couldn't see that Sunaifa's attack this time was extraordinary, and it could not be resisted by the [Fire Shield] that raised the ring and cast spells.
While thinking secretly in his heart, the huge zombie beast under Ryan suddenly let out a deafening roar, as if it was burning with some unknown power.
The thick black mist that erupted from its body was far more turbulent than before, almost swallowing up the surrounding air.
The black mist boiled, even rising into the sky, and quickly condensed into a huge black hand that covered the sky and the sun, tightly holding the incoming Perfect Ice Arrow in the palm of its hand.
The thunderbolts that shook the earth continued to rise and fall, echoing in the night sky. The black hand continued to shatter into black mist, which dissipated, but also gradually eroded the power of the Ice Arrow.
"You are only a fourth-ring mage after all, let alone a human being!"
A sinister look flashed through Ruian's Holy Inquisitor's eyes.
The zombie behemoth under him is a five-ring necromantic creature created by him through the five-ring necromantic spell [Skeleton Dance].
Although the zombie itself is not a particularly powerful undead creature, it has a five-level level base. Under the level suppression, it is more than enough to withstand the attack of a fourth-level Sunaifa in a short period of time.
Under the control of Ruian's Holy Inquisitor, the zombie beast let out a deep roar again, and its huge body rushed towards Sunaifa like a wild horse.
As for him, he mobilized the mana in his body and began to mobilize another extremely complex and huge spell model in his spell sea.
Hunting this, Sunaifa kicked off his toes and tapped the ground. His body flew sideways as fast as a bolt of lightning. The speed was so fast that it was simply breathtaking.
She didn't actually cast any spells.
Such an astonishing movement speed is actually because the rune patterns on the ankles of Sunaifa's boots are shining brightly - the rune effect: level four agility.
Level four agility is equivalent to the movement speed gain brought by a fourth-level spell.
Sunaifa understands that his biggest advantage is that [Blizzard] has a casting distance that is four to five times farther than ordinary spells.
Hence, keeping a distance is beneficial to her.
At this moment, watching Ryan drive the zombie monster towards her, she already understood the other party's intention: the current position of the two must exceed the casting distance of the spell he wanted to cast.
Although I don’t know what spell the opponent is planning to cast, it is definitely not wrong to prevent the opponent from succeeding.
While retreating rapidly, Sunaifa kept moving his hands.
Another arrow of perfect ice condensed and shot out. The air seemed to be frozen, a chilling air filled the air, and the atmosphere was terrifying.
Hruian did not show any signs of panic,
Hills of black smoke surged out of the giant zombie beast's body once again, turning into black hands to block the Perfect Ice Arrow.
There was a dull explosion, and huge mana fluctuations erupted and spread in the center where the two met.
The two disintegrate and dissolve each other.
At the end, the power of the Ice Arrow exploded to the extreme, completely piercing the huge palm that was transformed into black smoke. However, the remaining strength of the black hand slapped the tail of the arrow, reversed its direction, and shot diagonally upward into the sky.
At the same time, another spell aura appeared in the hands of Ruian Holy Inquisitor, and he swatted the zombie monster under him without hesitation
H After the spell aura entered the body, the speed of the zombie monster increased significantly to the naked eye, and it rumbled towards Sunaifa.
Three-ring change spell [Acceleration].
All obstacles on the road are easily knocked away by the zombie monster.
Sunaifa did not cast a spell to restrict the movement of the zombie behemoth.
Because she noticed that the four soles of this zombie behemoth were already covered with a layer of powerful mana fluctuations, and even the thin ice condensed by the previous hit of the Perfect Ice Arrow failed to affect its movements.
That should be because Ryan has blessed the zombie behemoth with the fourth-level spell [Freedom of Movement] in advance, which allows it to move regardless of any difficult terrain restrictions, and makes any spell or magic effect that reduces the target's speed, or paralyzes or restrains the target ineffective.
Honestly speaking, the undead creatures really restrain her.
Because another powerful aspect of the Ice Arrow is the extreme cold that will spread after hitting it.
But the undead creature itself has no pain, so the impact of extreme cold on it is weakened to the extreme.
Hence the blessing of [Acceleration], the zombie behemoth's speed has surpassed that of Sunaifa, and it is constantly shortening the distance between the two sides.
Fortunately, the zombie behemoth is too big and cannot turn or change directions flexibly, so Sunaifa can still manage to pull it along with its flexible changes of direction.
Sunaifa’s guess was right.
The reason why Ryan allowed the zombie behemoth to lead him to charge continuously and approach Sunaifa was precisely because he needed to shorten the distance between him and Sunaifa so that he could cast [Energy Draining Technique] to attack.
Five-ring necromancy spell, [Energy Draining Technique]!
Archbishop Luen, who was also in the fourth ring, died under the [Energy Draining Technique] without any struggle.
This is the power of the five-ring spell.
But even if it is a five-ring spell, the casting distance of [Draining Energy] is far from comparable to the Ice Arrow shot by Sunaifa [Blizzard].
So the current situation is that Sunaifa can shoot him, but he cannot make an effective counterattack and can only continue to defend passively.
This is something Ruian can't stand. Even in his opinion, if it continues to be used up like this, he will win - Sunaifa's mana reserve is definitely incomparable to that of a five-ring mage like him, and sooner or later he will run out of mana.
But such a frustrating way to win was not what Ruian wanted.
In addition, it is actually not easy for him to prolong the battle for too long.
This is the camp of the Zhenbing Tribe after all. The opponent has a large number of people. Even though they are low-level mages who are not worth mentioning, there are too many ants and they can kill an elephant.
Ryan must kill Sunaifa first while the ice-born mages of the Zhenbing Tribe are still restrained by the skeleton mages he had already ambushed.
"Go to hell!"
Finally, after this long and tense chase, Ryan found that the distance between himself and Sunaifa had reached the casting distance of [Draining Energy Spell], and he immediately cast the [Draining Energy Spell] that he had prepared long ago.
But in his heart, he was also marveling at Sunaifa's combat power, being able to shoot so many perfect ice arrows through [Blizzard]. If he hadn't created a five-ring undead creature, he would have had a headache.
Thinking like this, a huge tentacle of darkness suddenly stretched out behind Ruian's Holy Inquisitor.
These tentacles are dark in color, and even in the night of the same color, they are particularly eye-catching and stand out.
They twisted and circled, bared their teeth and claws, carrying an ancient and evil aura, like living creatures, dancing flexibly in the air, and fiercely entangled themselves towards Sunaifa.
"Don't mess with me again in the next life!"
Rian stood on top of the zombie behemoth and spoke with his head held high.
Seeing that the dark tentacles of [Energy Draining Technique] had extended out with an unstoppable force, and were about to wrap around Sunaifa's body, Sunaifa suddenly stopped and stopped moving.
Are you so frightened that you gave up?
This thought flashed through Ruian's mind subconsciously, and he returned to consciousness the next moment.
How could Sunaifah be such a weak-minded person?
Still drawing the bow.
But this time, more than one perfect ice arrow condensed on the bow string.
But three in total.
The sharp-eyed Holy Inquisitor Ruian even noticed that the fingertips of Sunai Falaxian's right hand also lit up with silvery white light, which happened to be connected with the light of the strange patterns on the wrist guard, forming a linkage.
In the night, a crescent moon seemed to light up.
Sunaifa looked pale, but firmly tightened the bow string.
With her feet on the ground, [Breath of the Wild] can reduce the mana cost of casting spells by 62%.
These reduced mana does not disappear out of thin air, but is replaced by the rune circle of [Breath of the Wild] absorbing the power of the earth, allowing Sunaifa to perform powerful attacks with limited mana.
However, even if the mana consumption is reduced by more than half, this blow is still very reluctant for Sunaifa.
She was almost stretching her limit, just to be able to deliver a fatal blow to the Holy Inquisitor Ruian at this moment.
The Holy Inquisitor of Ruian widened his eyes and stared closely at the cold woman holding a bow and shooting arrows, as if he wanted to keep her face firmly in his heart.
Three Perfect Ice Arrows were shot out, like three rays of cold light piercing the night sky.
It is not simply 1+1+1.
The three Perfect Ice Arrows are connected into a fan-shaped arc.
In the arc light, the three arrows continued to rotate, creating a slight whirlwind.
Beyond the arc light, countless pieces of ice condensed and formed, forming an ice storm.
Sunaifa didn't care at all about the dark tentacles of [Draining Energy] that were approaching her.
Because she was extremely sure that it must be her own "arrow" that was fast.
In addition to the casting distance, spell speed is also the advantage of Ice Arrow.
At this moment, Ruian Holy Inquisitor is casting [Energy Draining Spell], which means that he has no spare energy to cast other spells.
All he can rely on is the five-ring undead creature he created, the zombie behemoth.
But in the constant pursuit just now, Sunaifa had already figured out the power limit of the zombie behemoth.
Ryan felt something was wrong.
The zombie behemoth, this undead creature that he had worked so hard to obtain, was now pouring out all the black mist from his body in a nearly self-destructive manner.
This black mist, originally the source of the power of the zombie behemoth, is like a flood that bursts out of a dam, pouring out uncontrollably.
Hym Visible to the naked eye, as the black mist drains away, the carrion on the zombie monster begins to shrink rapidly and wither, as if the essence of life has been drained.
Ryan controlled the zombie behemoth to unleash the most powerful power at the expense of self-destructing the five-ring undead creatures.
It can definitely be stopped, this is a five-ring undead creature!
Ruian secretly thought in his heart.
As long as this attack is blocked, tonight's battle will be over, and Sunaifa will die under his [Energy Draining Technique].
However, the black mist that could originally compete with the Perfect Ice Arrow was like a fragile bubble under the impact of the fan-shaped arrow light, instantly disintegrating and completely disappearing.
Those three Perfect Ice Arrows, carrying an unstoppable power, descended with an arc of arrow light and an ice storm.
The icy cold air swept across instantly, freezing all life.
With an unwilling scream, in just one breath, the previously arrogant five-ring necromancer and the zombie behemoth beneath him were completely frozen, turning into a connected ice sculpture.
In the ice sculpture, Ruian's eyes widened and he stared blankly, his face full of shock and unwillingness.
The tentacles of darkness that had been approaching Sunaifa suddenly collapsed and turned into black smoke at the moment Ruian turned into an ice sculpture.
