Constructing-Style Wizard

The eight-ring shadow wizard named Gigamodo is one of the five chief city-protecting wizards of the Exiled City's vigilance group.

The spell he is using right now is called "Ghisri's Shadow Escape Technique", or "Shadow Escape Technique" for short.

The learning conditions for this spell are to reach the sixth level and be able to absorb shadow energy.

A six-ring shadow wizard can use this spell to divide himself into 6 shadows, a seventh-ring shadow wizard of 7, an eighth-ring shadow wizard of 8, and so on.

As long as any black shadow escapes the enemy's attack range, the rest of the black shadows can be teleported to the vicinity of that black shadow, and then merge with it, becoming the wizard himself, and then leaving the battlefield.

It should be difficult to catch such an enemy, right?

There are difficulties, but not as big as imagined.

First of all, for one black shadow to teleport to another black shadow, it is necessary to "read the message", that is, to cast a spell and chant.

Secondly, there is a limit to the transmission distance between the black shadows, which cannot exceed the energy perception range of the wizard himself - Gigamodo's perception range is approximately 2,600 meters.

Finally, this spell is extremely stressful for the wizard himself, rapidly draining the wizard's energy and shadow energy.

Based on these three restrictions, the shadow wizard named Gigamodo seemed extremely arrogant and could handle the lightning bombardment with ease, but in fact he was somewhat anxious inside.

If he couldn't get rid of Li Nuo's offensive as soon as possible, sooner or later he would reveal his flaws.

As long as one of his eight shadows is sealed by Li Nuo, he will immediately fall into passivity.

Even if he forcibly fuses the seven black shadows and returns to human form, his strength will be damaged, and even spell backlash will occur.

Li Nuo used deconstruction to find out the details of the "Shadow Escape Technique".

A little trick quickly took shape in his mind.

He first changed the attack target of the "Tracking Thunder Arrow Array".

The original magic circle targeted 8 black shadows.

Now after Li Nuo's adjustment, only 7 black shadows can withstand the saturation blow of the tracking thunder arrow.

The remaining black shadow became a "fish that slipped through the net", and Li Nuo deliberately lowered the intensity of his attacks.

The effect of this adjustment will appear in more than ten seconds.

At that time, the black shadow that has become a "fish that slipped through the net" will easily pass through the encirclement tracking the thunder arrow at extremely fast speed.

From the beginning to the end, Gigamodo would only think that he had succeeded in escaping due to his unremitting efforts, and would not suspect that Li Nuo deliberately let go.

In order to make the trick more realistic, Li Nuo also used several "Sonic Explosion Magic Scrolls" to create several turbulent waves of air.

"Boom boom boom~~"

The "sonic blast" was so powerful that it stirred up the air in the stalagmite forest.

Stalagmites broke and collapsed one after another, causing dust and gravel to fly everywhere.

In Gigamodo's eyes, this massive scene was the best evidence that Li Nuo was going all out to catch up with him.

Invisibly, the eight black shadows flew faster and faster, wishing they could reach the vicinity of the Exile City now.

Could there be some ambush from the Exile City, squatting on the road, catching Li Nuo off guard?

Li Nuo had worries about this before.

But after using deconstruction to "scan" Gigamodo's panel information and memory fragments, this worry was dispelled by Li Nuo.

[Memory Fragment 1: "Operation Plan of the Vigilance Group", completeness 100%]

In this plan, Gigamodo is the chief guardian wizard responsible for reconnaissance.

This guy was promoted to the eighth level through special means, and the number of spells he mastered was not as good as that of a normal eighth-level shadow wizard.

In addition, although he has the title of "combat wizard", as Li Nuo speculated, he is better at "escaping" and "saving his life" rather than fighting head-on.

The real ones responsible for frontal combat are the other two eight-ring shadow combat wizards hidden in the team of dark dead workers.

Li Nuo found information about the two from the plan and was not in a hurry to deal with them for the time being.

The reason is that these two people have mastered the spell to open the shadow dimension.

On the premise that Li Nuo was unable to crack the shadow sub-plane, it was purely thankless to meet the two opponents head-on.

The good news is that the solution lies in Gigamodo.

In this guy's magic container, there is a set of magic books that record the magic knowledge of the dark dead.

Once you get this set of tomes, the Eight Ring Dark Dead wizard will be stepped on by Li Nuo.

"Jie Jie Jie! I escaped! Let's see how you stop me!"

A group of black shadows rushed out of the encirclement tracking Lei Ya, letting out an arrogant laugh.

It was the black shadow that Li Nuo deliberately let go.

This black shadow kept flying at high speed while changing into a black disk with seven gaps.

The seven shadows restrained by the tracking thunder arrow changed.

They flashed several times in succession, emitting bursts of black light, and their bodies transformed from thick black mist to transparent gauze.

When the frequency of black light flashes reached its peak, seven black figures uniformly emitted a "buzzing" noise.

"Pfft~"

Seven black shadows exploded at the same time and turned into transparent mist.

When they reappeared, they had already arrived on the black disk and were embedded in the seven gaps of the black disk.

The black disk becomes complete.

The disk squirmed a few times in the air and transformed into a middle-aged wizard with a gloomy appearance.

His body was translucent gray, with earthworm-like black lines scattered on the surface of his skin, and some horrifying black spots mixed in among them.

He is Giga Modo.

After this guy condensed into a human form from 8 black shadows, his flying speed remained unchanged, but he had many more ways to counter the enemy.

He pulled out a black wand wrapped with a bandage and quickly traced the magic lines. At the same time, he muttered words and used some kind of magic spell.

The shadow magic lines filled with dark aura exploded the moment they took shape, forming several black disks suspended in the air.

These black disks hover vertically in the air, as if they are portals constructed by magic.

Some kind of gnarled shadow monster protruded from the black disk and pounced on the oncoming tracking thunder arrow.

This gnarled shadow monster resembles a black centipede. Its surface is covered with ring-shaped armor plates and its abdomen has many slender black legs.

From each black disk with a diameter of five meters, such a terrifying multi-section shadow monster emerged.

Their heads are similar to steam locomotives. Not only are they hard and dark, they also spray a strong shadow mist as they move.

The multi-jointed shadow monster's head collided with the tracking thunder arrow, causing an earth-shattering sound.

Electric snakes were scurrying around, and the shadow mist surged violently.

There is an ebb and flow between the two. The lightning energy is quickly melted by the shadow mist.

The gnarled shadow monster blocked the pursuing thunder arrows for Gigamodo.

Not only that, the shadow mist sprayed from the monster's head also created a wall of mist, blocking the way to track Lei Ya.

Gigamodo laughed wildly, turned around and accelerated towards the Exile City.

"Hahaha! Just play with my little babies!!"

Behind Gigamodo, the multi-jointed shadow monster has emerged from the black disk, revealing its full size.

They are more than 200 meters long and look like centipedes a hundred times larger.

Although they have many black legs, they can fly in the air and move extremely fast.

The multi-section shadow monster flexibly shuttles between the stalagmites, spraying shadow mist wildly, thickening the mist wall, and welcoming more and more tracking lightning arrows.

Gigamodo glanced back and confirmed that all the tracking lightning arrows had been stopped by his summons.

He smiled slyly, his laughter full of pride.

"You're finished, Thunder Wizard! I know where the magic circle you used to fire these thunder arrows is! The next time we meet again, it will be your death!!"

Jika Modo was laughing and flying.

"Kakaka..."

A very weak breaking sound came from under his magic robe.

Jika Modo's complexion changed drastically, from translucent gray to completely white in an instant.

He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the psychic protection pendant hanging on his chest.

"Oops!"

In Gigamodo's hand, the high-level psychic protection pendant was on the verge of being completely scrapped.

It only takes three to five seconds for it to break into dozens of pieces.

Gigamodo's psychic protection pendant is only of a high-level level, not a holy level.

It cannot automatically repair damage and restore the shield value of the mind shield!

Shadow creatures have their own "Shadow Mind Recoil" trait.

Jika Modo also has such a characteristic.

Anyone who uses psychic spells on him will incur the automatic counterattack of "Shadow Psychic Recoil".

Because of this, Gigamodo thought that there was no need to spend a lot of money to buy himself a holy-level psychic protection pendant.

Now, it was too late for him to regret.

"Crack, click, click!"

The sound of the pendant breaking exploded in Gigamodo's ears.

"boom!!"

His head was exploded by psychic spells, and his whole person exploded into dozens of shadow fragments from the inside out.

"You can't stop me!!"

Gigamodo roared unwillingly.

Dozens of shadow fragments swam in different directions, trying to find a way to survive.

at this time!

"Boom boom boom!"

The earth shook and the mountains shook, and a phantom of the mountain formed by the energy of rock and soil appeared out of thin air directly above the shadow fragments!

"Boom!"

The phantom of the mountain suddenly crashed down, blocking the path of the shadow fragments from all directions.

This is the level 100 "Mountain Falling Technique"!

High-level rock and soil magic!

From Dikla Fagan's personal butler Festa!

This is the first time for Li Nuo to use this amazing rock and earth magic.

The virtual shadow of the mountain temporarily constructed by the energy of rock and soil looks translucent and a bit imaginary.

But its weight is real.

A mountain with a radius of one thousand meters weighs more than 50,000 tons.

Such a huge thing pressed down, even the nine-ring metal wizard's magic ship had to kneel down.

Fortunately, this spell is a magic that has been included in the "Ascension Fortress". Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Nuo to use 1000 points of energy and 1000 points of rock and soil energy to cast it.

Gigamodo's shadow fragments were pressed beneath him by the phantom of the mountain.

Shadow Shards are bodies of pure energy.

The mountain phantom can only use its own weight and size to hinder the shadow fragments from continuing to swim, and cannot truly crush the shadow fragments.

As long as Gigamodo exerts more force and digs into the relatively soft soil, he still has a chance to escape from the shadow of the mountain.

Li Nuo wouldn't give this guy any chance.

He used "perception tampering" and flying spells to avoid the knotted shadow monsters and came to the side of the mountain phantom.

The shadow of the mountain crushed the stalagmites, leaving obvious dents on the ground.

Looking through the earth-brown mountain of the mountain's shadow, Li Nuo saw the shadow fragments struggling under the mountain.

He picked up the rock and soil wand in both hands and pointed in the direction of the shadow fragment.

"Rock Confinement Technique"!

The mountains near the shadow fragments changed rapidly, and there was an explosion. Dozens of thick and strong rock pillars rose from the ground, forming a tight rock cage.

In just half a second, the rock cage blocked all escape routes for the Shadow Shards!

"No!! You bastard! Let me go! You're done! You're done!! Lord Soller is my uncle!! If you treat me..."

Before Gigamodo could finish shouting, Li Nuo clicked dozens of times with his fingertips!

"Evil Explosion Technique"!

"Boom boom boom~~~"

Dozens of shadow fragments exploded, bursting into purple-black death sparks.

Gigamodo's voice stopped abruptly.

【system information:】

[You eliminated the "Chief Protector Wizard of the Eighth-Ring Dark Dead, Jika Modo". 】

[Since you have completely deconstructed this goal, you have not been able to obtain the energy reward. 】

[The target’s panel information and memory fragments are updated. 】

Li Nuo glanced at the system words in his mind and put them aside.

He dispersed the phantom of the mountain summoned by the "Mountain Falling Technique" and released the rock cage of the "Rock Confinement Technique".

The ghost shadow of the mountain disappears and the landscape will not be restored.

Without the intervention of external forces, the huge pit caused by the downward pressure of the mountain will always remain on the ground.

And in the center of the pit, where Gigamodo's shadow fragment was detonated by the "Evil Explosion Technique", a black translucent leather bag hovered there.

Li Nuo threw the deconstruction technique at this thing and nodded secretly. This was exactly what he was looking for.

…

【Name】Shadow Leather Bag

[Item Level] Level 81

【Volume】500 cubic meters

【characteristic】

1. Shadow hiding

This object can be hidden in magical creations woven from shadow energy, including but not limited to wizards' shadow magic organs, shadow magic tattoos, etc.

2. Reject non-darkness

This item can only be used to store shadow props. Any props that do not have shadow energy cannot be placed in it.

(The rest of the decomposition results are omitted)

…

The magic books that Gigamodo carries are hidden in this magic container called the Shadow Bag.

Li Nuo used "Psychic Capture" to get it, used a rune stick to break the magic lock, and used a specific gesture to reach into it and close the magic mechanism inside.

At this point, this shadow container, which could only be used to hold shadow magic props, became a trophy under Li Nuo's complete control.

Li Nuo looked around and saw that everything he saw was filled with devastation.

Those multi-segmented shadow monsters summoned by Gigamodo are called "Shadow Cavern Worms".

After Gigamodo's death, the Shadow Chamber Worms were forced to disband and disappear without a trace.

Li Nuo used "perception enhancement" and deconstruction techniques to confirm that there were no enemies at the scene.

He scanned the crater created by the "Mountain Fall Technique" and decided not to leave any clues to the enemy.

A "High-level Environmental Restoration Magic Scroll" is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.

This magic scroll was drawn by a natural wizard and was specially used to repair special terrain caused by magic.

The price of each scroll is 7 million gold coins, without discount.

Now that Li Nuo was not short of money, he tore one open without hesitation and erased the dents left by the "Mountain Falling Technique".

Not only that, but the stalagmites that were crushed by the shadow of the mountain were restored to their original state under the operation of "Advanced Environmental Restoration Technique".

When Li Nuo summoned him to track down the thunder arrows and wiped away the nearby natural energy with thunder and lightning energy, all traces of the battle involving rock magic and death magic disappeared.

"The City of Exile will definitely send people to check the cause of Gigamodo's death and look for his relics. In this case...hehehe, then I'll squat here for a while."

Li Nuo smiled secretly in his heart, threw himself a "Psychic Illusion", and used an "Advanced Invisibility".

In order to prevent the Eighth Ring Dark Dead who might come here from discovering him, Li Nuo also set up an anti-detection magic barrier around him and a layer of illusion to disguise himself as a stalagmite.

With layers of spells covering his body and "tracking marks" providing warnings, the possibility of Li Nuo being discovered first by the enemy was very, very small.

Li Nuo entered a state of silence and activated "telepathy" to contact Norin.

"How's the situation with the dark slave laborers? Nolin." Li Nuo asked.

"Sir, according to your instructions, I did not use psychic magic to spy on their whereabouts. I only used a reconnaissance machine spirit with a night vision lens for observation."

Noreen responded:

"According to the latest observation results, the group of dark dead workers are building a magic barrier made of magic arrays 30 kilometers south of the temporary base. This barrier is suspended in the air and may have long-range firepower. According to the combat plan, I will When the energy intensity of the magic array reaches its peak, control the capacitor package mechanical spirit to launch an attack."

Li Nuo smiled secretly and did not hesitate to express his praise:

"You're doing great, keep going as planned."

"Yes, sir, but..." Noreen said with a hint of apology in her voice:

"But, I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't use the night vision lens to distinguish the Eighth Ring Dark Dead from the team of hard workers. This is a big hidden danger."

"It's okay. I know what's going on. Everything will go according to plan."

Li Nuo has the plan for the city of exile and a set of shadow magic books, so he is very confident.

As soon as he got the magic book, he launched a harmless deconstruction.

This set of magic books is called "Master of Dark Death's Study Notes". There are five books in total, covering all learning content from wizard students to high-level wizards.

Li Nuo deconstructed a dozen production drawings of shadow magic props, six spell blueprints with a completeness of 10%, and a knowledge skill called "Shadow Magic Mastery".

Of course, the most critical thing also appears in the understanding of the composition results.

"Secret Texts of the Dark Dead", this set of magic runes that can be used to strengthen the magic shield and make the shadow subdimensional treat itself as a friend, has become Li Nuo's bag.

Even if two eight-ring dark dead appeared in front of Li Nuo, they would not put any fatal pressure on him.

Li Nuo was even thinking about whether he should take the initiative to find trouble among the hard workers...

While he was thinking, he threw "Psychic Sight" at the "Tracking Mark" near the team of peons.

He wanted to take a look at this team from a distance and lock onto the two of them before alerting the Eighth Ring Dark Dead.

The magical vision unfolded, but the mental alarm that "others are about to discover that he is peeping in the dark" did not appear in Li Nuo's mind.

"Eh? Where are the eight-ring dark dead in the team? Have they both left the dark dead labor team?"

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows:

"Then the two of them must have come to the place where Gigamodo was killed, right?"

As soon as this thought appeared in Li Nuo's mind, two dark eyes swept around Li Nuo, implying scrutiny and vigilance.

Alarm bells rang in Li Nuo's heart.

Those two people did come.

"Perception Enhancement" told Li Nuo that they were currently located two thousand meters away and were investigating the stalagmite terrain repaired by "Advanced Environmental Restoration Technique".

Li Nuo's heart was beating loudly. This was the first time he faced two eight-ring battle wizards at the same time.

Fight or run away?

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Having mastered the "Secret Text of the Dark Dead", his winning rate against two eight-ring battle wizards was around 80%.

But no matter what, it's not 100%.

In order to seek stability, Li Nuo decided to add some victory chips to himself.

"Noreen, leave 200 capacitor-packed mechanical spirits to harass the team of dark dead workers and delay the construction progress of the magic barrier. The remaining 300 capacitor-packed mechanical spirits should move closer to me and stay hidden."

"Yes, sir."

When Norin knew that the situation had changed, she immediately began to carry out Li Nuo's orders without asking any more questions. (End of chapter)
