Arcane Lord

Xia Duo hid in mid-air, watching the scene of the human warriors advancing below, and couldn't help but calculate the possibility of fighting them as a mage.

Xia Duo has not personally experienced the Blade of Holy Light, but judging from the fact that it can cut an orc in two with one sword, the sharpness is evident.

Of course, if it is just sharp, the force field protection of [Mage Armor] is far better than ordinary flesh and blood. Although Xia Duo's current protection may not be able to block those blades of holy light, it may not be possible in the future.

What really worried and curious him was whether the Blade of Holy Light, a special form of pure holy power attack, would be particularly destructive to magic.

This problem is easy to verify. Just go down and block a sword. However, doing so may cause him to leave the projection plane early. Sha Duo is not prepared to do this.

In the main plane, he had never seen a similar attack method.

Xia Duo, who has already had preliminary contact with the principles of arcane energy, speculates that holy power may be similar to arcane energy, a kind of pure energy that humans can freely control.

It's just that the holy power comes from God, and the arcane energy is generated by one's own arcane fire.

For a time, Xia Duo thought of a lot, but felt that he could not grasp the key point. Now he really wanted a priest who could sense the holy power to assist him in research, but it was hard to say whether this request could be met.

At present, the pursuit of this group of warriors has entered the final stage. The orcs being hunted have no fighting spirit and can only let these warriors drive towards the southern forest like sheep.

Xia Duo noticed that the movement speed of these warriors was getting slower and slower, and this was not impossible to improve. He saw with his own eyes that some people continued to accelerate, but turned back when more people failed to keep up.

Then the originally neat formation of these people suddenly became much more scattered, and then the speed slowed down. Of course, the formation became neat again.

However, Xia Duo also noticed that the sacred light condensed on these warriors was much weaker than when he first saw them. Perhaps this was the main reason for the slowdown in the pursuit.

"I'm here to help you!" Xia Duo revealed his figure in the air, shouted, and then descended.

brush--

Hundreds of pairs of people turned around and raised their swords towards Xia Duo. Their eyes were calm but filled with murderous intent. Xia Duo summoned a small fireball at his fingertips and explained: "I am a mage from the north, and I am here to kill the orcs!"

With that said, Sha Duo threw out the [Blade of Veto] prepared in advance, and the flying sword was blessed with a flying state, and moved back and forth under Sha Duo's control.

Those orcs who had no fighting spirit and no idea of ​​resistance were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, letting him kill them. When they saw Sha Duo starting to slaughter the orcs, these warriors didn't say anything, they just turned around and continued to chase the orcs.

The more Xia Duo manipulated the flying sword, the more comfortable he felt. The dream of "killing heads with a sword thousands of miles away" came true so easily!

At present, limited to the spell itself, he only added [Flying Technique] to [Blade of Veto], and has not developed a spell specifically for controlling swords. Therefore, the flying sword he can actually control is not in its strongest state yet. .

Xia Duo did a test a few days ago. The maximum distance is no more than a hundred meters, and the flying sword must be within the field of view. Once the distance is exceeded, or the field of view is blocked, the flying sword will directly lose control.

Of course, if it can be retrieved, it can still be controlled as long as the [Flying Technique] lasts.

The main reason why Xia Duo prefers flying swords to other attack spells, apart from the dream of wielding a sword in his heart, is the duration.

[Flying Technique] can only last ten minutes at most when it works on the human body, but when it works on a lighter sword, it can last for several hours. Of course, as the sword body collides and comes into contact with the target, this time will continue to decrease.

But no matter what, compared to the [Fireball Technique] that explodes once it is released and then disappears, it is more durable.

At present, Xia Duo has not mastered [Fireball Technique], and he is not in a hurry. It is just a very common attack method.

With his experience before time travel, Xia Duo already had his own understanding of the battle between mages.

The key to the competition among mages in battle is not whether they can master lethal spells such as [Fireball], but rather protection, spell breaking, and restraint. Attack can only be ranked last.

A mage who has no protection and whose movements are restricted is no different from a wooden stake. He can be hacked to death with one accurate slash.

However, in order to truly use flying swords to deal with mages, Sha Duo must also solve one of the most critical problems, which is the [breaking magic] in the combat element.

Otherwise, if the Feijian flew over and was released from the [Flying Technique] blessed by it, wouldn't it be a door-to-door delivery!

Regarding this aspect, Xia Duo doesn't have any good ideas for the time being, but in any case, flying swords are a real killer weapon when used against ordinary people who have not mastered magic.

Much more practical than [Fireball].

…

After chasing these Holy Light Warriors for a while, Xia Duo couldn't find a chance to speak. He really wanted to know what happened to the thirteen light pillars in the north.

But these people were like robots, all of them had calm faces, and the movements in their hands were full of a mechanical standard feeling. He didn't think anything about them when he looked at them from the sky, but after observing them up close, they became more and more weird.

It didn't take long for these Holy Light Warriors to drive all the orcs within sight into the forest. Of course, there must be many orcs that were missed, but the next wave of orcs is likely to end here.

The Holy Light warriors were already walking back, following the mottled path of flesh and blood they had opened when they came before. Xia Duo also followed for a while, but there was no response to the temptation.

He deliberately used violence, but found that with the return of these holy light warriors, the holy light condensed on their bodies began to gradually brighten. Obviously, having only mastered the [Flying Technique], he is currently powerless against these Holy Light Warriors.

Therefore, Xia Duo had no choice but to use the [Flying Technique] again and fly to the wooden house where he had stayed for the past few days.

He already knew a little about the Light Pillar and the Holy Light Warrior. It was already evening and he hadn't been able to get a good rest recently. He was going to have a good night's rest and go take a look tomorrow.

…

the next day.

Xia Duo felt refreshed after a night's rest. He set out early to reach the light pillar.

It's just that there is a circle of people surrounding the light pillar, and the Holy Light Warriors we saw yesterday are also there. It's just that today they don't have the Holy Light Armor from yesterday, and they look like they have completely dropped a level.

With dusty leather armor and gray faces, they were only in good mental condition. Each one of them told the story of the Thirteen Holy Spirits to the people around them in high spirits.

From time to time, the holy light is summoned to comfort the sad and crying people, but this holy light can be said to be extremely weak compared to yesterday.

Xia Duo mingled among the crowd and listened silently. After a whole morning, he finally heard all the stories about the so-called Thirteen Holy Spirits, and at the same time he also had a general understanding of Nese in this era.

He had not paid attention to this aspect before. He only knew that the [Scroll of Resistance] had not been discovered in the current era, but now he not only had some understanding of the current era, but also knew a shocking secret.

A secret about how the Lord of Glory appeared was a big secret that he would never be able to access for a long time on the main plane.
