Chapter 345 Fatal Hooves
Blanche is an old horse that grew up in the western wilderness when it was young.
It had an unusually long lifespan, having accompanied its master on campaigns to distant lands for many years, yet its true birthplace was Hillsbrad Foothills. It had many owners, each of whom was quite famous.
Years ago, Blanche transported grain from Hillsbrad Foothills to Storsom... that grain had long been poisoned by the Cult of the Damned.
Some say Blanche committed an unforgivable sin because it indirectly spread the natural disaster and plague.
Laughable, pathetic.
Where did natural disasters and plagues first begin?
The most terrifying thing is the traitor within. Kel'Thuzad, the great traitor of mankind, willingly served the Lich King Ner'zhul. He and his followers of the Cult of the Damned created the plague, causing the destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
What crime has the old horse Blanche committed, which has always diligently loaded goods for its master and endured being whipped?
Just as swords slash at mortals, bullets fire at civilians, and magical missiles fly towards Lorraine, they are all merely tools and means. The most important thing is the result, not who they belong to, their status, or their position...
A child's knife is just as dangerous, and Lorraine knows the same methods as the enemy.
When faced with life and death, Lorraine never hesitated.
The magic missile has a tracking effect. Dodging is useless if you rely on movement and positioning. Once the caster selects a target, the magic missile will keep chasing the target until it hits.
Unless it's outside the missile's casting range from the start...
By the time Lorraine realized what was happening, Master Bellamor and her two attendants had already finished their incantation. A blazing, dazzling sphere of magical light, beautiful yet dangerous, appeared. A booming sound, the noise of air friction, drew near.
Lorraine had no way to avoid it...
To be honest, Lorraine has faced death several times along the way. She wasn't foolish enough to take a direct hit from someone's killing blow; she was mostly hit by the aftershocks of attacks from powerful opponents, which nearly killed her.
Without needing to recall, the most powerful mage immediately comes to mind: the stunningly beautiful and highly skilled ice mage, Jaina.
After fighting her once, Lorraine seemed to have no fear of ordinary magicians.
However, just as no one would willingly use their head to catch a bullet, Lorraine still tried to dodge the magic missiles using her physical reflexes as much as possible.
However, the missile seemed to have eyes and kept chasing after him. Lorraine only felt a dazzling blue halo and a strong impact pressure coming towards him, and he was sent flying backward into a pile of wood chips.
This pile of sawdust was the aftershock of the goblin sapper bomb he had just placed.
In comparison, the goblin bomb is much more powerful.
Magic missiles are nothing...
He clutched his chest, shook his body vigorously to dislodge the debris, spat out wood chips, and looked up.
"besides!"
Magic missiles are usually fired in rapid succession! Arcane mages' attacks are compact and their methods are relatively simple, but their power is like waves, one after another. They usually require a lot of magical energy to support them, and not every mage can become an arcane mage.
Arcane mage is generally synonymous with powerful magic.
Bellamor and her two attendants were both arcane mages with high levels of magic, which enabled them to complete the construction of the teleportation array ritual.
Their combat strength should not be underestimated.
After taking two missiles, Lorraine felt a little uncomfortable.
A smile played on his lips; it seemed he was a bit tougher than he'd imagined...
The main reason was that Lorraine had already deployed a bone shield and put on a cloak with magic resistance, and in case of emergency, he had found two tanks to protect him from the front and back.
......
As the smoke cleared, Bellamore took a closer look and saw that Lorraine was unharmed...
With a series of deadly moves, the three of them combined their strength and could easily defeat ordinary abyssal monsters, yet their opponent remained completely unharmed.
Bellamor herself was already a near-archmage archmage. Her two arcane attendants were also at least intermediate-level mages. The three arcane mages unleashed a barrage of missiles, like a magical machine gun, which had annihilated many undead attempting to breach the Violet Defense Barrier.
There are many advanced undead combat units such as Abominations or Aberrations.
Bellamour's Violet Guards and jailers are part of the same Violet Prison jurisdiction.
Both belong to the Violet Eye Battle Mage class...
Bellamour herself is the warden of the internment facility. She is respected by Yuvel, not only because of her beauty, but also because she is a researcher of historical artifacts and has considerable combat ability.
"This is impossible! Could the Plaguebringer Lorraine really be a Grand Magus?"
Bellamor realized something was wrong. She and her companions had just used lethal force; there was no need for mercy when dealing with the undead. Master Yuvel had mentioned some information about the Plaguebringer Lorraine, including in the Violet Eye's announcement—he was a dangerous figure, suspected of possessing abilities close to those of an Archmage.
The main reason is that he is an evil necromancer, and the overseer of the Violet Eye believes that the army of death knights he summons possesses the power to destroy nations. Previously, Bellamor, upon seeing the information, initially thought this was an exaggeration...
After today's encounter, Bellamy realized that this statement was true.
"Not shooting me anymore? My turn. Humph!"
Lorraine appeared unharmed, but his magic resistance cloak was actually tattered and cracked. It wasn't anything particularly high-end; it was one of the few decent items he'd found among his recent haul of loot.
There were several similar items, and Lorraine fitted herself with all the ones she could wear.
For example, the boiler agitator from before...
He tried using a long-forgotten magic iron rod to break down these items that contained traces of magic, but the resulting magical essence was either unstable or a faint green ash...
They vanish in the wind without a trace if you're not careful.
During the battle, he didn't have time to delve into the details. Only after his teacher logged off did he suddenly realize that without the teacher's explanations, many things were completely confusing. Unable to understand what was going on, he could only figure it out on his own...
It seems people only appreciate things after they've lost them...
For example, opportunity.
When it was Lorraine's turn to make a move, he wouldn't just strike a pose and bluff.
The one who truly shielded Lorraine from the barrage of magical missiles was the previously resurrected magic-resistant golem skeleton, who pounced out of the smoke and dust... directly knocking down one of Bellamor's attendants to her left.
The arcane mage, dressed in magnificent attire and wielding a short staff, screamed in agony as a magic-resistant skeleton got close...
She couldn't even finish the magic incantation before her body was torn apart...
Just as her companions were about to come to her rescue, a ball of fire instantly ignited her body. The tone of her scream was no lower than that of her companions.
Bellamor, however, was slightly calmer, quickly retreating to stand in front of her silently protected target. Lorraine then remembered that his target wasn't the human female mage, but Riktel, who held the Bloodstone Egg...
Just as Lorraine commanded the last headless demon corpse to rush out of the ruins and head straight for Bellamor and the traitor.
A clang of metal followed by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves came from behind...
Lorraine turned her head and saw a knight on horseback swinging his sword at her.
The horse reared up, its hooves pounding down... as if trying to crush Lorraine into a pancake!
