Chapter 409 Interrupting Spellcasting
Chapter 409 Interrupting Spellcasting
Mage vs. Warlock...
The teacher said that, basically, they couldn't beat even one of the other team's Cerberus...
Lorraine is not just a necromancer, he is also a necromancer... I'm not familiar with necromancers, but we all play with souls, and warlocks probably have different focuses.
Lorraine is not alone...
He has visible henchmen, and also vengeful spirits that the other party cannot see...
He's no longer just manipulating corpses in combat; he's also learned to use soul attacks... Although these suddenly acquired abilities have extremely strong negative effects, likely a side effect of the Plague Seed, they have indeed brought his combat power to a level where he can deal with enemies far stronger than himself, before he returns to Undercity to learn more ice magic and arcane divine skills.
Aegwynn once said that magic, like all other powers in the world, is a tool, and has no distinction between evil and good.
My teacher once said, "It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat."
Lorraine has no qualms about using all kinds of power and methods. He's not very good at deceiving people, but he doesn't need any instruction on killing and robbing. If the other party is a so-called 'bad guy,' he'll enjoy it even more.
The teacher said:
"Everyone who descends upon Azeroth is a bandit... To the natives, they are practically demons fallen from the sky, plundering and devouring everything... The footmen of Azeroth call themselves heroes, but in reality, they are nothing more than free cannon fodder, high-level henchmen and tools."
This is a group of pupae seeking pleasure and spiritual fulfillment in another world, challenging the impossible...
The teacher might be talking about himself, but Lorraine didn't quite understand.
.....
All Lorraine needs to understand is that survival and defeating powerful enemies are the only truths!
Otherwise, it's all in vain...
Lorraine fired an ice arrow at the sorcerer Horace, while simultaneously attempting to cast Polymorph on the mayor, turning him into a sheep.
Unfortunately, the mayor is immune to shapeshifting magic...
Lorraine's transfiguration was resisted.
......
Is the Polymorph spell not high enough in level?
Polymorph can only transform humans and beasts... it has no effect on demons or elemental creatures, and the same applies to ghosts and undead. Dragons or certain high-level monsters have spell resistance, so it's normal that Lorraine's low-level polymorph spell is resisted.
Since he couldn't do it himself, he could only hope that the high-level archmage Terra's spell would work... He roared at Terra, "Interrupt its spell! Interrupt it, by whatever means necessary! My mana isn't enough..."
Terra nodded upon hearing this, but still muttered, "What do you mean by not having enough magic power? It's clearly because you're not skilled enough... Low-level spells are ineffective against high-level monsters."
She cast a spell directly on Mayor Bonn, silencing him!
"Rebound..."
Terra unleashed an arcane spell, but it backfired, immobilizing all her spells for fifteen seconds...
Master Terra was instantly thrown into a panic. Her opponent, the assassin Wilkes, had been lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity to ambush her. Without any means of counterattack and already injured, she sensed danger.
Sure enough, a cold glint suddenly flashed from the center of her bright white and smooth neck, in front of her collarbone.
Slit the throat!
Terra stepped aside, bracing her short staff against her neck. Her muscle memory allowed her to twist her body, executing a bizarre, gymnastic-like somersault. Like Lorraine, she wasn't just a blood elf archmage; she had received close-combat training as a ranger from the Silvermoon Royal Guard...
The short staff barely managed to stop the blade of the dagger...
Suddenly, a tingling, stinging pain shot through me; the blade was poisoned...
Terra forcefully channeled her magic directly at herself, stimulating her senses... to suppress the paralyzing poison.
Increase casting speed!
......
The assassin missed his first strike and didn't linger, as a Bloodfang werewolf pounced on him.
Wilkes plunged into the pool of blood, followed by three werewolves.
Shortly after, two werewolf corpses floated to the surface of the blood pool, and another one instinctively emerged from the other end, only to lose its target. The assassin had vanished... but Terra knew that Wilkes was waiting for a new opportunity to backstab her.
.....
"No, there's something strange about that guy's shield!"
Terra sensed something was wrong when her previous skill was countered and she tried to interrupt the spell, but ended up taking damage from her own skill instead... Terra immediately activated the stones scattered on the ground near Lorraine due to the fight, causing them to float in the air. She then used void magic to shoot them directly towards Mayor Bonn's crimson void shield.
The result was still in vain; the gravity spell had no effect either. The stone was bounced back and shattered as if it had hit steel.
"What's the principle?"
"It seems to be a reflection, not only of spells, but also of physical attacks, it reflects everything?"
......
Hearing Terra's analysis, Lorraine was shocked. Such heaven-defying magic? Forget it, I have to get out of here right now!
......
Lorraine's unreliability lies in the fact that sometimes he is cautious and meticulous and prone to overthinking, while at other times he is impulsive and acts on a whim.
He clearly saw that the altar was surrounded by cracks in the ground, meaning he was on a tower-shaped altar with no way out.
There was no way to see where it led from above, and looking down, there were only deep fissures filled with sharp stalagmites... There seemed to be waves of heat rising from inside, and below was probably magma.
Where exactly is this place?
"Where? Where else could it be? Where is Born? This is obviously on the so-called Isle of Atonement. The Isle of Atonement is clearly an island of sin. These evil beings sacrifice living people here; what are they trying to summon? Back in the Alterac Mountains, the Cult of the Damned was discovered, but their sacrificial rituals were interrupted. And yet, right under the noses of the Kirin Tor, there exists such a terrifying place... This place must have existed even longer! The Twilight's Hammer is even more hateful than the Cult of the Damned..."
Terra cursed, and beneath her seemingly cold and ruthless face, a sliver of pity for life still lingered...
Lorraine was puzzled. Atonement Island was clearly at sea, with no way to reach it. He and Terra were clearly in the Jade Mine, so how did they suddenly get transported to the island? What kind of teleportation array was this?
They were teleported here, completely unaware of what was happening, and tried to run away.
There is no way to heaven and no way to earth.
There were only countless iron chains above his head, with the sacrificial corpses hanging upside down from them... Lorraine estimated that to leave, he would probably have to climb up these hanging offerings... provided he could eliminate the enemy in front of him first.
There were a lot of werewolf puppets, but after only a few minutes of fighting, Lorraine lost five or six of her newly recruited followers... not to mention the number of injured. Usually, three or four werewolves would gang up on a Twilight follower and still not come out on top.
Fortunately, not all of the dozens of believers were as capable as the clerk, blacksmith, or tailor.
Some weaker members were directly torn apart by the werewolves.
Both sides have suffered losses, and Lorraine and Terra are currently in a relatively safe position... "I guess his shield definitely needs energy to sustain it, and the energy that sustains it is this blood pool... Let's just destroy this altar..."
Lorraine's mind raced. Combining her combat experience with instinctive judgment, and under the influence of the artifact [Mirror of Truth] unknown to Terra, Lorraine noticed thin strands of energy gathering around Mayor Born...
These seemingly faint blood vessels are actually clearly visible under the illumination of the mirror of reality.
Lorraine continued observing and discovered even more details. Each of the countless chains hanging from the ceiling, laden with offerings, had a blood-drawing groove; the blood was actually like a flowing paintbrush, outlining a massive summoning circle.
After a brief analysis, Lorraine concluded that Mayor Bourne was summoning a terrifying creature he had seen before—the Faceless One, which had nearly rendered him helpless and caused him heavy losses!
Because of the bloodstone fragments in Lorraine's pocket, as Mayor Born continued his incantation, the blood pool boiled, and something seemed to be coming to life...
