Chapter 141: Fierce Fight
Chapter 142 Fierce Fight
Outside the Andel Market, Joachim Frisius was on a trotting zebra, using the tracking technique to determine Richard's location.
He already felt that he was getting closer and closer to Richard.
Trotting zebras are a low-level extraordinary creature with good endurance and explosive power, especially good at long-distance travel. They are relatively rare. It is precisely because of their existence that Joachim caught up with Richard.
What he held between his right index finger and thumb was a strand of Richard's hair. This was half a year ago, after the news of Richard's disappearance came out, he entrusted the people of the Ignis School to help him collect Richard's hair in Richard's dormitory.
At that time, he used the tracking technique several times, but the tracking technique did not respond at that time, so he was sure that Richard was dead.
Now it seems that the distance between the two was too far at that time, resulting in the tracking technique's reaction being minimal, or it was beyond the tracking range of the tracking technique.
But this time, the tracking technique responded obviously.
Along the way, whenever Joachim used the tracking spell, the hair in his hand would clearly point out the direction for him, just like a mobile phone navigation, guiding him all the way to here.
Joachim looked at the illusion array outside the Andel Market not far away.
As a man who had been out for many years, he certainly knew that the Andel Market in front of him was in charge of the Peter family.
Joachim originally planned to go in and find Richard directly, but on second thought, he still felt that the noise was too big.
After all, in his mind, although Richard was only a "second-level wizard apprentice", if he wanted to take Richard down, he would definitely have to use witchcraft, and combat witchcraft was strictly prohibited in the wizard market.
In his memory, the Peter family was a wizard family with a formal wizard.
There was no need for him to challenge the majesty of a formal wizard and to make enemies with a wizard family for the sake of Richard.
After thinking about it, Joachim decided to wait for Richard to appear in a jungle more than ten miles away from the exit of the market.
——
Rosby City
Study room of Earl Harris's castle.
"My Lord, I just received a letter from Knight Rawlins, the sheriff of Silverpine Town. Silverpine Town was attacked by a large monster. At present, all the townspeople have retreated to Baron Clavier's castle and are in urgent need of rescue." A white-haired old man in a tuxedo reported respectfully.
At the same time, he placed a blood-stained letter on the desk.
The old man in the tuxedo did not open the letter. What he knew was that it was from the cavalryman in Silverpine Town who survived the bloody battle.
He said that they were originally a group of three, but in order to break through the monster's blockade and come to Rossby City to report the news, the other two cavalrymen died unfortunately.
However
There were already seven or eight similar blood-stained letters on the earl's huge mahogany desk.
On the red round wax seal of each letter that had been opened, there was a large steel seal with the word "Extreme Urgent" knocked on it.
The tall Earl Harris, with his back to the door and facing the window, seemed to be calmly appreciating the scenery outside the window.
But if someone could see the Earl's face, they would find that his brows had been furrowed into a "川" shape.
The old man in the tuxedo looked at the Earl and knew that the Earl was actually very anxious. The entire Rosby County was the Earl's fiefdom. Now that the monsters were rampant in his own fiefdom, it was impossible not to feel distressed.
But now, the Earl has received more than nine letters of help from various towns, and even several towns should not even be able to send letters of help.
At present, Rosby City has sent out seven or eight rescue teams, and all the witchcraft apprentices and recruited demon hunters from various academies such as Mr. Stefano have been sent out. Now Earl Harris has no soldiers to send.
The old man in the tuxedo found that the Earl had no intention of speaking, so he bowed slightly and left the study.
"Chirp! Chirp!" Two extremely loud bird calls sounded over the castle of Earl Harris!
Two huge griffins, one large and one small, were seen circling over the castle.
Less than two minutes later, the old man in a tuxedo returned to the study and said happily: "My Lord Earl, the wizard Daenerys sent by the royal family of the kingdom is here."
"Please come in!" The Earl turned around instantly, and the sadness on his face disappeared.
He had heard of the wizard Daenerys, whose full name was Daenerys Bennings. She was the sister of His Majesty the King and the aunt of several princes. She had been at the Hydachia Academy on the continent of Vitroll for more than 20 years.
The Hydachia Academy is a wizard academy that focuses on the water element. It is said that its strength is more than one level stronger than those wizard academies on the continent of Bias.
The wizard Daenerys returned to the Kingdom of Heron only last year after becoming an official wizard. It is said that she usually stays at home and concentrates on research, and almost never attends various banquets and dances in the capital.
——
When Richard drove the wildebeest out of the market again.
After a while, he came to a woodland. The winding road in front of him crossed the entire woodland, but somehow, Richard felt his eyelids twitching, as if something bad was going to happen.
Richard slowly slowed down the speed of the wildebeest.
Suddenly, he felt a strong force coming from his right side, and secretly said "not good"!
Richard only had time to instantly release the dark element shield that came with the black jade ring, and he and the wildebeest under him were taken into the air by a fierce whirlwind.
The four hooves of the wildebeest stepped into the air, without any support, and immediately neighed in panic.
But Richard, who was also in mid-air, knew that he had been ambushed by the enemy, and the witchcraft that made him and the wildebeest fly in the air was just an appetizer for the enemy's attack.
If it were Richard himself, he would immediately follow up with a powerful single witchcraft to hit the target purely when they were in mid-air and could not use the force.
Richard controlled the [Mimicry Wristguard] to turn into a tower shield, blocking one side of his body, and at the same time, he immediately cast the skeleton armor.
Sure enough, as soon as Richard finished chanting the spell, he saw two black energy arrows from the corner of his eyes, one after the other, shooting straight at him in mid-air from the dense forest on the side.
However, at this time, Richard's skeleton armor had just been cast. At this moment, in addition to the thin film of the dark element shield, he was wrapped in a layer of white knight armor, and a huge tower shield appeared on his left forearm.
"Boom boom!" The huge impact of two consecutive secondary shadow arrows blasted Richard, who had nowhere to rely on, dozens of meters away in the air.
This was actually a good thing, because Richard was blasted into the dense forest on the left side of the road.
A low curse was heard from the dense forest on the right side of the road!
The ambushing enemy obviously did not expect that the power of two consecutive secondary shadow arrows was so great, and as a result, Richard got a blessing in disguise and hid in the dense forest.
Because of the triple protection of the dark element shield, skeleton armor, and the shield transformed by the mimic wrist guard, the two secondary shadow arrows of the enemy just now did not cause any substantial damage to Richard, but only made Richard dirty and a little embarrassed by the impact of witchcraft.
At this moment, Richard still had grass on his head, and branches and dirt were hanging on many parts of his body!
After landing, Richard quickly rolled over to further buffer the impact of falling in mid-air.
Since the two secondary shadow arrows just now broke the dark element shield on his body, Richard only took 0.2 seconds to add another dark element shield to himself.
At this time, the wildebeest in the air also fell down and fell heavily to the ground. It kept struggling to turn over, but it seemed that its tendons and bones were broken and it could not stand up.
Suddenly, a tall and fat figure rushed out of the dense forest on the left side of the road. The bowl-sized trees were directly crushed. Every step it took, the ground would vibrate slightly.
Richard looked through the mottled branches and saw that the fat humanoid monster seemed to be based on a tall human body, and the body parts of multiple different people were pieced together.
For example, in addition to two extremely strong arms holding an axe and a chain hammer, there are several much smaller arms growing on the back, shoulders and abdomen, which are obviously not naturally grown.
One of the smallest arms seems to be a child's, and the other one with obvious skin wrinkles seems to be from an old man's arm, but both hold weapons such as daggers and iron hooks.
Richard couldn't help but be shocked. This is an abomination!
An abomination with strength comparable to that of a formal wizard!
No, if the other party had the strength to summon an abomination, he would have died in mid-air just now!
The attack on him just now was only a secondary shadow arrow, which means that the other party must not be a formal wizard.
Richard looked at it carefully again. Indeed, although this fat and burly figure was tall, it was still not as tall as a normal-sized abomination.
Generally speaking, a normal-sized abomination is at least three meters tall, but the abomination in front of him is only about two and a half meters tall.
The combat power of an abomination is proportional to its size.
This made Richard feel a little relieved, but he didn't dare to be careless. He waved the bone summoning staff in his hand forward, and a huge inverted pentagram magic circle appeared on the ground in front of him. In an instant, four skeleton guards holding shields appeared in the magic circle.
"Huh!" This made the hidden enemy on the opposite side also exclaimed.
Three skeleton guards immediately met the small abomination, while another skeleton guard was guarding in front of Richard.
Although the abomination was smaller than the normal abomination, it was still the difference between an adult and a ten-year-old child compared to the skeleton guards.
When the abomination swung the axe and chain hammer in his hand, it only took three or four times to knock all three skeleton guards away, showing how strong the attack power was!
This made Richard frown, and he immediately cast a skeleton armor on the skeleton guards around him and ordered them to stop him. He immediately took off the [Griffin Wings] on his back and started shooting!
"Chi!" With a lightning-fast arrow, the eagle tail arrow hit the abomination's chest with only a residual shadow, and a transparent hole the size of a child's fist appeared on the abomination's right chest!
"Ah!!!" The abomination screamed in pain.
"What!" Joachim in the dense forest could no longer conceal his shock and immediately shouted out.
The attack power of this arrow just now has exceeded that of most third-level wizard apprentices!
He finally understood why Lucius' three second-level wizard apprentices failed to encircle the opponent.
Richard in front of him, his real strength is probably not inferior to him.
Now, Joachim no longer has the mind to watch the show on the side. He thought that after sending out the abomination, he could easily control Richard.
Immediately, he chanted a spell to add a dark element shield to the abomination.
A dark film appeared on the surface of the abomination.
But due to the delay, Richard's three skeleton guards who were knocked away also surrounded the abomination again.
Richard sneered, thinking: "I know the defense of the dark element shield better than you do!" He immediately pulled out three eagle tail arrows and put them on the wings of the griffin, and used the secret technique: multiple shooting!
"Chirp chirp!" Three black lightning bolts, in a triangular shape, shot directly at the abomination.
The abomination was too big, and it was obviously impossible to dodge, so when he saw Richard's arrows coming again, he was worried and immediately hugged his head and chest!
"Duoduoduo!" The dark element film blocked the first and second arrows, but when the third eagle tail arrow also shot at the film, it finally couldn't hold on and was immediately punctured like a bubble.
But the three eagle tail arrows were also exhausted and did not cause much damage to the abomination.
But Richard quickly shot another arrow, which was the secret bow and arrow technique: guiding arrow!
When this arrow was about to reach the abomination, it was slightly raised, bypassing the obstruction of the abomination's arm, and directly hit one of the abomination's eyes.
Immediately, the abomination screamed!
Joachim saw it, his face turned pale, and he knew that he could not let Richard attack like this any longer. He immediately took out a blood-red ball from his arms and chanted a spell.
As the low sound of the spell rang out, the blood-red liquid in the blood-red ball, like streams, split into three streams and shot directly at the body of the abomination!
Suddenly, the abomination, which was originally two meters and five meters tall, turned red all over at this moment, and its body further expanded. Its height directly jumped to nearly three meters, and the wounds on its body began to heal rapidly.
"Boom!" The abomination stepped heavily on the ground, and a strong shock wave collapsed a large area of the ground.
The four skeleton guards surrounding it were all knocked down by the shock wave. The abomination's huge arms "snapped" twice, and knocked the two nearest skeleton guards away, and the whole person rushed towards Richard.
"Boom boom boom!" Every time it took a big step, it made a huge vibration!
Moreover, the movement speed and attack speed of the abomination in the expanded state increased dramatically!
At this time, Richard's [Griffin Wings] had used up its five special arrows per day, so it would be unwise to continue fighting.
Immediately, Richard silently recited the spell of Shadow Dance. Under the cover of the large trees in the jungle, the dense forest was full of mottled shadows. Richard's figure was suddenly covered with a layer of dark gauze, and the whole person moved as fast as a ghost.
In an instant, Richard disappeared in front of the hatred.
The hatred immediately widened its only small eye and looked around for Richard's trace.
Obviously, Richard believed that the opponent's witchcraft that made the hatred swell and turn red must be some kind of witchcraft that stimulated potential and made the hatred explode in a short period of time, which would definitely not last long.
Although Richard was protected by multiple shields and the knight's long sword [Ice Guardian], he would not be so arrogant as to fight the enemy's summons. After all, so far, he had not even seen the real owner.
With the blessing of Shadow Dance, Richard had quietly circled dozens of meters behind Joachim at this moment.
I saw a man in black robes, hiding in the dense forest, controlling the hatred to find me.
After comparing the side faces, Richard instantly knew who the guy who attacked him was!
It was Joachim, the third-level wizard apprentice of the Ring of Noth!
It was also the bounty he issued that caused Lucius and three other second-level wizard apprentices to attack him.
However, judging from the breath he sensed, the other party was only a third-level wizard apprentice, but I don’t know why he could summon such a summoned creature close to the combat power of a formal wizard.
You know, Richard himself is a person who has summoned skeletons to the extreme control level, plus the bone summoning staff, but even in this case, the four skeleton guards can’t resist the other party’s summoned creature.
The other party obviously has some secret technique or treasure.
When he thought of this, Richard couldn’t help but feel warm in his heart!
“Secondary Spirit Level Up!” Richard used his trump card and threw out three red Fire Dance Stars at the same time!
Instantly, Joachim, who was attacked by Richard, was stunned on the spot!
The next second, Richard silently chanted the Shadow Grip, and a dark element hand was very concealed, flying close to the ground in the mottled shadows of the trees, rushing straight to the opponent.
But just when he just touched the opponent, Joachim also reacted from the secondary mental shock, and suddenly four figures appeared on the spot, one in front, one behind, one on the left and one on the right.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Richard's Fire Dance Star also arrived.
"Pah pah pah!" With the sound of glass shattering!
"Boom boom boom!" After a series of explosions, there was only a human figure with a shield on the spot. Richard was overjoyed and immediately controlled the dark element hand to grab the opponent.
Joachim instantly felt like he had capsized in the ditch. The shadow trick he had just performed was actually cracked in less than a second. If it weren't for the instant shield, he would have been seriously injured if not dead!
Just as he was about to run, a big hand composed of dark elements slapped him hard!
"Boom!" Although his shield could still hold up, the huge impact still made Joachim dizzy!
At this time, the four skeleton guards summoned by Richard were gradually surrounding Joachim.
The opponent's abomination was still rushing towards this side from behind, but it would probably take a while to catch up.
Richard immediately sent a message to the Soul Devouring Demon Spider in his arms, "Crystal, fear spell!"
Just as Joachim recovered from the violent explosion, he saw Richard's four skeleton guards surrounding him, and thought to himself that it was not good, because his abomination was still dozens of meters away at this moment.
If the opponent's four skeleton guards really surrounded him, he would be doomed!
Anxious Joachim got up and ran, trying to break out of the encirclement.
But suddenly, his eyes went dark, and all kinds of frightening faces appeared one by one, such as the furious mentor Gildarts, for example. But the next second, he reacted and realized that he was afraid of being hit by the fear spell.
As soon as Joachim woke up, he found that a skeleton guard had blocked his way.
However, Joachim was not panicked, but sneered, thinking to himself, how could such a thing catch up with himself who was cast with the witchcraft Swift Wind, and he immediately bypassed the opponent and ran to meet his hatred.
However, the next second, this skeleton guard was like a reincarnated monkey, blocking his escape route with great flexibility, and stabbed a sword fiercely.
It was Richard's secret technique, the possession of the skeleton!
Joachim was shocked, but it was too late. He barely managed to avoid the heart attack, but one of his arms was cut off on the spot, and a burst of blood rained out.
"Ah!!!" Joachim screamed and staggered to the ground.
The remaining skeleton guards followed and chopped him off with swords!
A few seconds later, Joachim's body had been stabbed into a rag bag.
The abomination, which was more than ten meters away, could only roar at this moment, unwilling to watch its original master fall in a pool of blood, while it was forced to be teleported back to the world of the dead!
It was also a tracking mark, which was shot directly at Richard at this moment, but Richard, who had already had experience, was no longer surprised.
Immediately, he took out the substitute doll in his arms, and after chanting a spell, he transferred the tracking mark to the substitute doll.
Richard controlled the Shadow Grip again, captured a peregrine falcon alive, tied the substitute doll to its legs, and released it.
After the operation, Richard felt a masterless spiritual force thicker than his thumb, which was fed back from the crystal and merged into his spiritual sea.
Suddenly, the pleasure surpassed the last time when Muken, and Richard once again experienced the feeling of floating in the air!
When the crystal devoured the soul, it crawled into Joachim's body from his mouth, and the memory pictures in Joachim's mind were transmitted to Richard's mind like slides.
However, this time the slides were different. They were silent slides before, but this time, they were sound slides.
After the crystal evolved to the growth stage, the transmitted pictures were also accompanied by sound, which made Richard very happy.
This means that Richard can almost understand the opponent's key memories thoroughly.
For example, originally Richard could only see the picture of Joachim talking with his mentor Gildarts, but at this moment, he could already hear the content of their conversation.
After a while, Richard's face showed ecstasy!
It turned out that Joachim, as a more promising disciple under his mentor Gildarts, was recommended to the Ring of Noth by Gildarts two years ago and signed an agreement, thus practicing the advanced meditation method of the Ring of Noth - the first level of the "Hate Meditation Method".
Last time it was Muken from Gurus College, and this time it was Joachim from the Ring of Noth. Unexpectedly, after two battles, the progress of Richard's second plan, the limit-breaking plan, was magically more than half, and it is now 2/3 of the progress.
This really made Richard not know what to say!
In this way, as long as Richard agrees to sign a training agreement with the Ignis School, he can easily obtain an advanced meditation method from the school.
When the first set of plans did not even see the shadow, the second set of plans he prepared was almost successful!
But after a while, Richard's face darkened again.
He found that the reason he was being hunted was because of the red-haired girl Jenna. It was Jenna's mentor, the wizard Gildarts, who asked Joachim to find him and complete revenge.
This was far from his prediction that Jenna and Joachim were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship!
