Chapter 114 Gloria
One after another, howls came.
In the distance, a figure can be seen leaping among the trees, followed by a few dark figures, and the roar of the orcs is getting closer. Sauron carried Vivian on his back and was about to evacuate. Gloria also quickly blessed a spell, but monsters in all directions seemed to have spotted them, and a few strong figures could vaguely be seen jumping down from the tree poles, planning to circle around. Go ahead and stop them. One of the figures was unusually eye-catching, and it was actually a large black cheetah.
Mutant beast!
Some special beasts have some mutated genes, which may be related to the forbidden experiments in the arcane empire period. They appeared in large numbers for a period of time, but later they were arrested and killed, and many of the rest fled to the astral world and beyond. layer plane. Some beasts on the material plane also inherited these mutant genes, and genetic mutations may occur when the biological level advances to a certain stage. This beast has spell-like abilities, but the number is very rare, and most of them just have high intelligence and strong hunting ability.
These beasts are said to be the failures of lycanthropy experiments.
Sauron stopped and handed Vivian to Gloria next to him. The black cheetah that stopped them in front of him was quite difficult to deal with. Its size was close to the size of a Siberian tiger, and its elegant body could see obvious muscle outlines, like a Is the bodybuilding champion in the beast. This represents the strength of the opponent, it may even be stronger than the brown bear, and the power of the claws may tear the armor. The speed of the cheetah's sprint was quite terrifying, and Sauron did not dare to continue to escape, because this was equivalent to exposing his back in front of his eyes.
Sprint short distances. Few creatures can surpass this large mutant cheetah!
Jackals, tigers and leopards, cheetahs are more dangerous than tigers in the wilderness, because you basically cannot run faster than it on land. To deal with this kind of creature, if you pull away and run, you will only be knocked down by it in an instant. Then mercilessly bite your throat. Sauron took a deep breath at the moment of sprinting, and then the muscles in his whole body energized, and he jumped a distance of ten meters. There is no protection on the body of the beast. Only the hide can't stop his attack.
A light jump.
The large black panther nimbly avoided his attack, and at the same time showed an anthropomorphic mocking smile on his face. This beast's intelligence is higher than expected, and its biological level may have reached the third-order or higher.
But it's still too lighthearted!
Sauron raised his finger in an instant, and in just one second, two arcane missiles flew from his fingertips. No matter how fast the black panther was hit at such a close range, it was impossible to dodge it. A small hole was opened in his neck. Two arcane missiles pierced through its leopard skin, leaving a wound about three centimeters deep, and blood suddenly splashed out.
With Sauron's spell strength, the two arcane missiles fired at such a close range caused at least twenty points of damage!
1 point of spell power can strengthen the power of 1 point of arcane missiles. It is not a joke for high-level wizards to use arcane missiles to penetrate armor. Sauron's spell power also has ten points. Even the Fortitude saving throw that deducts the constitution can make the target lightly injured. The suddenly injured cheetah obviously slowed down by half a beat. This knife cut a wound close to five centimeters deep, but after breaking through the muscle layer, he was unable to continue, and he could only pull the knife and retreat.
The toughness of the constitution reduces damage!
Roughly 2 points of physique increase 1 point of damage reduction, and some creatures with strong vitality can also use muscle layers to clamp weapons.
Dragons are the best among them.
There is no extraordinary weapon to deal with the sublime dragon species, and even if the dragon's skin is broken, the strong muscles cannot be broken, and the vital organs cannot be injured. That is a very difficult thing.
The sharp claws pierced through the cold light.
The thick and tough leopard tail drew over. The strong wind whistled like a leather whip, and Sauron turned to avoid it, leaving three shallow scratches on his arm, and a leopard tail slapped his waist. But with his physique he can handle it. The other nearby monsters were getting closer and closer, and Sauron couldn't care less about wasting it. In an instant, he took out the dead wood cane and pointed at the black panther in front of him.
A magic light emerged.
The weeds on the ground suddenly grew wildly, wrapping around the cheetah in front of him like tenacious vines. Even if it had the power of a big cat, it could not break free for a while. This short period of one or two seconds was enough for Sauron. He jumped on the back of the black panther, pressed it down with strength, and then clenched the machete in both hands and chopped it down. The power of Sword Stance - Heavy Slash exploded in an instant, and the machete cut off the black panther's head abruptly.
The gushing blood was three or five meters away, and the headless corpse of the black panther froze for a moment, then slammed down.
A row of data emerges:
"Activate [Sword Stance - Heavy Cleave]!"
"Trigger a decapitation attack!...Decapitate the target with 125 points of decapitation damage!...The target dies!..."
"Extract soul energy."
"You have gained 2450 killing experience!"
………………
Sure enough, it is a cheetah above the third order.
The creature's level is estimated to be about 12. It's not that you were caught off guard with a spell. It is more difficult to deal with it than to deal with the earth element.
"Brother be careful!"
Vivian's exclamation suddenly came from behind Sauron, and Gloria also cast a spell quickly in an instant. First, she blessed them with a spell, and then raised her hand to shoot a blood-red light toward the front.
- "Death Finger!"
The muffled sound of the bowstring trembling came, and Sauron didn't even think about it. The next moment, he activated the element spar on his body, and a khaki-colored trace on the ground spread to his whole body. Almost as soon as the stone skin technique blessed him, a sharp arrow also flew and hit his chest directly. The strength of the arrow made him take a step backwards.
Next to the bushes in front, a tall and burly mixed-race orc held a strong bow and locked on Sauron with ferocious eyes.
But the next moment its eyes turned into astonishment!
Because Sauron did not fall, the arrow hit him in the chest. But it was only stuck between the ribs. The arrow that should have shot him directly was offset by the stone skin technique, which offset 20 points of damage, plus his own 20 points of extraordinary physique fortitude save. Although the arrow hit his chest, the damage was far less than expected. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, and the leather armor on his chest was shot through. The opponent used a high-quality bow.
The dark red light hit the tall and burly hybrid orc at the next moment. He stiffened for a moment, and then fell straight to the ground!
Seventh-level spell [Death Finger]!
The finger of death displayed by the high-ranking Northland witch is not for fun, and it is not easy for all professionals below the fourth rank to pass the death saving throw.
Failing to pass the death save is the result of instant death!
Sauron pulled out the arrow and did not care about the wound. He swung his knife sharply to block the attack of another half-blood orc next to him. The heavy battle axe held a ferocious force that made him sink. On the left was a gnoll-like half-blood creature. He threw out a short axe and hit Sauron's back in the next moment.
clang!
The short axe seemed to have hit the extremely solid marble, and the leather armor on Sauron's back was only dented a little. It took almost no damage itself. The opponent's strength is not high, and he should not have specially trained throwing weapons. The attack strength of the short axe does not exceed 20 points, and it is not able to break the protective energy of Sauron's stone skin technique.
The existence of the witches in the north attracted most of the attention of the hunters. At least more than half of the hunters bypassed Sauron and rushed towards Gloria and Vivian who were behind him. Wizards are the most terrifying existences, and they must not be given the chance to cast spells. A monster with a ferocious face that Sauron could not recognize roared, and its size suddenly began to grow a lot. Then, he took a deep breath and used his limbs to sprint on the ground. The speed was almost unbelievable.
Raging hybrid beasts!
In the face of such a dangerous situation, Gloria was still unhurried. She even had time to pull Vivienne behind her, and then she suddenly pulled out a finger of her staff, and a fireball the size of a basin flew out. Not the enemy in front of him, but exploded directly in the open space ahead. Time goes back one second. The fast dashing monster didn't have time to stop. It is completely inertial, and when it rushed over, it also happened to enter the core area of the explosion of the fireball technique.
In the next second, it was all bloody and bloody, and its chest was blown to the bone. All the hair on his body was burning.
"Vivian see clearly!"
Gloria had an awe-inspiring aura on her body, completely different from what Sauron knew. She said in a cold voice: "Do you remember the movement calculation I taught you? Movement positioning and spell prediction are very important skills. Many enemies are extremely fast, and spells don't have to be aimed at the enemy to be effective!"
The howling wind sounded.
Two flying axes and a long knife were thrown towards the location of the two of them. Gloria didn't care at all. She slammed the staff into the ground, and then quickly cast spells with both hands. The fundamentals of the person, you must ensure that you are always under the shroud of the energy protection field during the battle."
Bang bang bang.
The thrown weapon seemed to hit the invisible air, and it made a muffled sound when it hit the energy protection field. Gloria's expression did not change at all, as if she didn't even look at the rushing enemies. Concentration is the most important basic skill for spellcasters in battle. Spellcasters can't be distracted and let the enemy interrupt their spell casting. Concentration skills can also make them more sensitive to changes around them.
- "Shadow black tentacles!"
Six energy tentacles burst out of the ground and lashed in a flash. The nearby enemy rushing in half instantly stiffened, and then they were rolled up and hanged upside down by the energy tentacles. The shadow black tentacles cast by the high-level witch were completely different from those cast by Sauron. The energy tentacles entangled up and directly strangled the two enemies, and then entangled everyone who approached, dragged them back and hung them in the air.
Gloria then slowly pulled up her staff and said condensedly, "Vivian. You must always remember that for a wizard, control is more important than damage!"
There was an eerie silence on the battlefield.
It was only at this moment that everyone, including Sauron, saw the true strength of a high-level northern witch!
This is the style of the high-level mages!
