Chapter 507 [Good Luck]
[Withering Embrace]!
The eight thick shadow tentacles contain rich necromantic energy and have special effects equivalent to [Touch of Fatigue].
Any creature touched by the tentacles will instantly fall into a state of fatigue.
Of course, both the level and strength are much higher than [Touch of Fatigue].
【Withered Embrace】has a total of eight tentacles, only one of which is directed towards Gothe.
That’s completely enough.
In David Jones' view, Gothe is so young that he is at most a third-level mage.
He is a fifth-level mage, even if it is just a trick, Gaode will not be able to parry it if he raises the level and casts a spell, let alone such a serious spell.
The remaining seven tentacles spread out in a fan shape and rolled towards Sarah, trying to contain Sarah immediately.
——
Sarah's reaction was extremely fast, and she had already taken action before the sharp sound of the tentacle tearing the air had settled.
The moment she noticed the emergence of shadow energy, Sarah's right hand bent back at an angle that almost violated the physiological limit, and her knuckles tightened suddenly the moment they touched the leather of the holster.
The specially made holster buckle made a clear and crisp click.
【Good Luck】slided into the palm of her hand along the arc of her wrist, and the barrel of the gun drew a bright silver arc in the dim light.
The whole process is as fast as lightning.
The appearance of [Doom] is that of a dark, old-fashioned split-hair musket. It is dark and thick, backward and primitive, but also rough and strange.
And [Good Luck] is an extremely exquisite silver-white magic gun, full of design and "sense of technology", like a product of the future world.
【Good Luck】's barrel and grip are engraved with gorgeous fine gold patterns.
There is an extremely eye-catching gilt flower pattern groove on the gun body. With it as the center, the petals extend in all directions of the gun body.
This is the psychic circuit and magic crystal slot of [Good Luck].
In the flower-patterned magic crystal slot, an extremely regular octahedral crystal is embedded.
This octahedral crystal is like a precision-polished gemstone, with a translucent silvery-blue luster on the outside and fine golden lines running like a spiderweb inside.
It is the core product of the Ain family in Linhai City: Orik Crystal.
The magic power contained in an egg-sized Orric crystal is terrifying and incalculable. It is equivalent to the total magic power of tons of magic crystals. It can power large-scale war alchemy machines and even airships.
At the same time, its price is also surprisingly high.
But this Orric crystal, which is of extremely high quality at first glance, only provides energy for a single-armed magic weapon such as [Good Luck]. One can imagine the power of [Good Luck].
As Sarah's slender index finger pressed the trigger on the handle, a low groan of satisfaction seemed to come from inside the gun body.
The gilt-carved flower on the gun body, with its petals spreading in strands, was suddenly activated.
The Orric crystal embedded in the center of the groove of the circuit feels as if its heart is being clenched tightly at this moment.
The golden lines inside it instantly came to life, surging and boiling inside the crystal.
This is the spiritual circuit of [Good Luck] extracting the magic power from the Orric Crystal.
The next moment, the golden magical energy surged out from the Orric crystal.
But they are not scattered randomly, but are accurately captured and guided by the magic energy circuit.
The grooves of the gilded petals are no longer grooves, but have turned into ditches of light flowing with molten gold liquid.
The strands of extending lines lit up instantly, like living golden vines, along the barrel, the grip, and even spread to the back of Sarah's hand holding the gun, outlining a short and sacred rune mark.
At this moment, the entire "Good Luck" is no longer a weapon, but more like a light-forged flower that suddenly blooms in Sarah's hands.
The magic power from the Orric crystal is quickly compressed and guided to the muzzle under the constraints and acceleration of the magic energy circuit.
The space at the muzzle has already produced distorted ripples visible to the naked eye due to the high concentration of energy.
In the center, an extreme, incandescent light that is almost void is being nurtured.
There is no explosion of traditional firearms, only a high-frequency sharp blast that seems to tear apart the space itself.
That incandescent light finally broke through the critical point, and a bullet of extremely condensed golden magic energy was shot from the muzzle of the gun.
Humbling with fine golden arcs on the surface of the bullet, there is a turbulent flow of magic power inside.
It is a blazing golden color as a whole. Due to its extremely fast speed, it brings up a wake that is constantly escaping like a comet tail, just like a meteor made of pure energy and spiraling forward at high speed.
Puch!
The magic bullet hit one of the tentacles of [Withering Embrace] accurately.
The tentacle instantly disintegrated into countless black light spots, scattered in all directions.
The magic energy bullets shot by [Good Luck], although they are called bullets, are essentially just magic energy condensates.
After crushing the tentacle, its own power was also exhausted, turning into golden light particles and scattering away.
Sarah, on her side, didn’t even glance at the result of the battle, and her wrist sank down.
The barrel of the gun drew a smooth arc, aiming at the other seven tentacles coming from other directions, and tapped the trigger again with his index finger.
The Light Forged Flowers bloomed one after another, and seven magic energy bullets were fired one after another at very short intervals.
—A large part of the reason why the magic energy gun can quickly replace the traditional magic fire gun is its extraordinary speed of fire.
Not only is the magic fire gun incomparable, the casting speed of ordinary spells is also far less than the instantaneous burst of the magic energy gun.
Another point is that when the magic gun attacks, it consumes the magic power of the energy core in the magic crystal slot, rather than the magic pool of the mage itself.
In the whole process, the mage only needs to consume mental power to activate the magic circuit and control the trajectory of the magic bullet through mental guidance.
There is no doubt that this will improve the mage's continuous combat ability.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of using magic crystals as energy source is that it does not consume the mage's own mana and will not cause the mage to fall into the dilemma of "empty blue".
The disadvantage is that the mage's own mana is a free energy source that can be regenerated over time.
But magic crystals are non-renewable consumables. If the energy is used up, money will need to be spent to buy new magic crystals, and the price is extremely expensive.
This means that every time the trigger is pulled, real gold coins are consumed.
If the battle is fierce enough, it may be no exaggeration to wipe out magic crystals worth thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins in one battle. It is simply a "burning money battle".
In addition, the combat endurance when using the magic gun no longer depends on the mage's own strength, but purely on the mage's economic strength - that is, what quality of magic crystals can be afforded as the energy core.
For a magic gun like [Good Luck] that uses Orric crystals to power it, each magic bullet it shoots will cost dozens or even dozens of gold coins.
Even wealthy aristocratic mages would be unable to bear such consumption for a long time, and ordinary mages would even dare not even think about it.
This is why the magic gun has become so advanced and powerful, but the magic staff is still the undisputed number one magic weapon.
Puch! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
Seven consecutive muffled sounds exploded in the air.
Seven magic energy bullets were like precise guided weapons, hitting the seven tentacles with claws and teeth in sequence, including the one that rolled towards "Gothe".
The tentacles that were still fierce just now were purified and disintegrated in an instant, and black body fragments and golden energy light fragments intertwined and fell in the air.
Although David's surprise attack came unexpectedly, Sarah relied on her own reaction and the power of good luck to perfectly resolve the crisis.
But Davy Jones, who was hiding in the shadows, showed no signs of surprise, as if he had already expected such a result.
His figure is no longer hidden, emerging from the shadows, with a playful smile on his face, teasingly: "It's been a long time, Miss Sarah's marksmanship is still so amazing."
"David." Sarah's eyes locked on the figure that had fully emerged from the shadows like a hawk.
Davy Jones, the uncrowned king of the City of Black Sails.
However, Sarah’s expression changed in the next moment.
In the blue flames, beside Gothe, at some point, a shadow-like figure seemed to come out of the void.
Four-ring illusion spell, [Phantom Killer].
Sarah’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Yes, David's goal from beginning to end is "Gao De".
The tentacles at the beginning were just a test and interference. He had no hope of succeeding with this move.
The real trump card is this.
The shadow created by [Phantom Killer] is an illusion that only targets the subject.
Hum, even magic bullets are ineffective against illusions.
The playful smile on David's face deepened.
The next moment, "Gaode" was shaking all over, and fell backwards as if losing consciousness.
Obviously, his strength is not enough to pass the mental immunity of [Phantom Killer].
“Sarah, your [good luck] is indeed well-deserved, but unfortunately, this does not allow you to keep him.” David’s voice sounded low, with the calmness of controlling everything, but also containing undoubted greed.
The moment the words fell, David's figure became blurry again.
It is not a high-speed movement, but a distortion jump of space itself.
He disappeared directly from his current location, and then when he reappeared, he had already come to the side of the fallen Gothe, that is, in the blue flame area.
Four-ring conjuration spells, [any door].
The moment David entered the blue flame area, the blazing blue flame surged up like a shark smelling blood, wrapped directly around his body, and flowed through him.
As the blue flames followed him like a shadow, David's face twitched slightly and his brows subconsciously tightened.
Obviously even with his strength, even if he only faced the thinnest and momentary blue flame attack, he would still feel uncomfortable and mentally damaged.
However, a small price is still acceptable.
David reached out his hand and tried to pick up the unconscious Gaode.
Although Sarah is by no means his opponent, it is basically impossible to kill Sarah, so he is not prepared to fight with Sarah. He only needs to snatch Gothe away, and the purpose of this trip will be completed.
Everything is going according to plan.
But the moment his palm touched Gothe, David's pupils suddenly contracted.
The expression of ease that always hung on his face solidified.
What he touched was not a body of flesh and blood, but a cold, void phantom.
How is it possible? !
David couldn’t believe it.
It was not that he had not observed Gaode carefully before taking action, but he was definitely a living person, and there was no spell fluctuation from the disguise spell.
More importantly, he successfully cast [Phantom Killer] targeting "Gaode".
This skill only takes effect on creatures with souls. Trees and rocks cannot be used as spell targets.
Similarly, if it is just an illusion, [Phantom Killer] will not take effect at all.
In a flash of lightning, many thoughts flashed through David's mind.
Afterwards, he reacted immediately.
If "Gothe" is just an illusion, it means that this is a trap carefully designed against him.
He has fallen into the trap now, what’s the next step?
No need to think too carefully.
Sarah's eyes were as calm as ice.
All her performances and all her preparations were preparations for this moment.
In an instant, whether it was the shallow blue flame area where David was or the safe area where she was now, the ground suddenly glowed with a strange blue sheen.
Immediately afterwards, there were a series of scalp-numbing explosions like thunder.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Deep underground, Sarah had already buried an incalculable number of alchemical bombs, and they were all detonated at this moment.
The originally solid ground immediately burst into cracks, spreading around from the explosion point.
The gravel was scattered like a rainstorm.
These alchemy bombs are extraordinary. When they explode, they not only produce tearing shock waves, but also trigger violent elemental resonance.
The gravel was crushed into powder in the shock wave, and even the air was buzzing, as if the entire island was shaking.
But whether it was Sarah or David, both of them had a light mask on their bodies.
All the shock waves or scattered gravel hit the light mask, except for the banging sound and the sound of energy surging and dissolving, there was no follow-up.
For fifth-ring mages, alchemy bombs are unlikely to cause any fatal damage to them.
But Sarah never expected to kill David with the alchemical bomb.
Her real purpose of detonating the alchemy bomb was.
Just before the smoke from the explosion had dissipated, the dazzling blue flames that made people tremble were spewing out crazily from the depths of the cracked earth.
Blue flame!
This is Sarah’s purpose.
The blue flames that were originally scattered across the island seemed to have been summoned and flowed upstream along the channel torn apart by the explosion, converging into dozens of thick torrents of blue flames, and then splashed down the area like a waterfall.
Sarah's move is equivalent to detonating a carefully measured directional explosive bomb in an already active volcano crater, and the result will naturally be a "volcanic eruption."
Even the richest blue flame in the core hinterland was partially attracted by her.
These blue flames spewed up, splashed down, and instantly covered and swallowed the area, turning it into a terrifying sea of blue flames.
Sarah and David were also swallowed up by the blue flames.
These blue flames regard the protective spells they are proud of as nothing, and cling directly to their bodies arrogantly, like tarsal maggots, which can neither be dispersed nor destroyed.
The only solution is to leave this sea of blue fire as soon as possible, and then wait for the blue flame to extinguish on its own.
Just as the blue flames of such concentration and intensity splashed down, the huge mental pain and damage hit them instantly, without giving the two of them any buffer time at all.
David felt as if his mind was being pierced by countless ice picks at the same time. There were bursts of tearing pain deep in his soul, and blurry hallucinations even began to appear in front of his eyes.
He groaned, a fine line of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth to keep from losing his composure.
Sarah's situation was not much better. The cold blue flames continued to erode her mental barriers, making her unconscious.
In this case, casting spells becomes extremely difficult.
David struggled to concentrate before he managed to cast a spell that was usually handy.
Green air emerged from his body.
【Flying】.
He wanted to fly away from the blue flame area as soon as possible.
However, David's body had just levitated, and the sound of the trigger was already heard.
His eyes twitched slightly and he looked in the direction of the source of the sound.
The light-forged flower blooms again.
The blazing golden magic energy bullet from [Good Luck] has already left the barrel and is shooting towards him!
