Chapter 88 Advanced Rune Gem
Chapter 88 Advanced Rune Gem
If when Heb faced Sunan before, he still had a sense of superiority when a third-level wizard apprentice faced a second-level wizard apprentice, then now he has completely suppressed the contempt in his heart..
He vaguely realized that Su Nan was not an ordinary second-level wizard apprentice..
The opponent's strength was much stronger than he expected..
Condensing the greed in his heart, Heb began to concentrate on dealing with Sunan. Accompanied by the strange chanting sound, two-ring spells were launched one after another..
The dazzling magic brilliance instantly filled the entire courtyard..
Although Herb has not yet mastered silent spell casting and instant spell casting, he has mastered sentence-spelling..
This is a spell-casting technique similar to using magic items, which can release pre-prepared spells in a short and quick way. Only a few fragments of the spell need to be recited..
Equivalent to a castrated version of silent spell casting.
Sequence casting is very demanding on mental strength, and basically only third-level wizard apprentices can master it..
And wizard apprentices who have mastered sentence segmentation can cast spells two to three times faster than before..
Su Nan now had the illusion that he was facing a spell storm..
If it weren't for the powerful defensive power of the Ring of Ultimate Protection, he would have been beaten into a honeycomb long ago..
“One second-level spell can knock out nearly 100 defense points of the Ring of Ultimate Protection. A 1,000-point defense can only resist eleven second-level spells at most. It must be fought quickly..”
“As expected, I can only rely on that..”
Su Nan took a deep breath, turned her wrist, and there was a sparkling rune gem between her index finger and middle finger..
The next second, he threw his hand and threw the rune gem.
Herb saw it but didn't take it to heart..
Su Nan has thrown several rune gems before, and their power is similar to that of energy runes. He doesn't even need to activate protective magic items, he can resist them with only energy runes..
At this time, seeing Sunan performing his old tricks again, Herb didn't care. He glanced at it and continued to cast spells..
But the next moment, he was horrified to see the gem suddenly explode in mid-air, turning into a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket and crashing down.！
The terrifying power suddenly enveloped Heb's body, and a chill shot up his back..
In fear, Herb had to interrupt the spell, endured the severe pain caused by the mental backlash, and immediately released the energy runes..
boom！
In the blinding lightning, the necklace around Herb's neck and the ring on his left index finger suddenly lit up, then quickly dimmed..
The protection of the two magic items was torn apart almost instantly.！
Then there were three layers of earth energy runes, which only lasted for a blink of an eye before being torn apart.！
The lightning then swept through the whole body, scurrying around Heb's body like an electric snake. The intense pain made the latter couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.！
Fortunately, he is a third-level wizard apprentice after all, and his spirit is extremely tenacious. Heb endured the pain and mobilized energy particles to disperse the electric light on his body in the blink of an eye..
Immediately after the green light lit up, it spread all over the body, and plant energy particles rushed in crazily, quickly healing the wounds on the body..
While undergoing treatment, Herb stared at Sunan in horror..
What on earth was that gem just now?？
Why is it so terrifying?？
At this time, Sunan had already taken out the second rune gem and threw it.
When he first learned that there was a wizard apprentice behind Marquis Jinyan, he had the idea of synthesizing rune gems to use as a trump card..
And these high-level rune gems are the result of his actions.
Each one is composed of eighteen rune gems, and its power is twenty to thirty times that of ordinary rune gems.！
It's not that Sunan doesn't want to use more rune gems for synthesis, but eighteen is already the limit..
If there are more, the synthesized high-level rune gems will not be controllable by him, and he will accidentally injure himself when using them..
It's like a three-year-old kid shooting with a pistol. He can't withstand the recoil of the gun..
Wow！
The rune gems turned into blazing waves of flames in mid-air, crushing towards Heb like an overwhelming mountain..
Herb's expression changed, and he retreated continuously, mobilizing energy particles to block while casting spells.
【Elemental protection】！
A layer of shimmering light emerged from his palm and spread throughout his body in the next second..
Just after casting the spell, Herb was drowned by the raging waves of flames..
As the name suggests, [Elemental Protection] can reduce various elemental damage suffered by the caster..
But even so, Heb, who rushed out of the flames, was still seriously injured, and there were many black wounds on his body. He looked extremely embarrassed, and completely lost his previous calm demeanor..
“Damn it！”
Herb's face was distorted with anger..
He was a dignified third-level wizard apprentice, but he was beaten into such a miserable state by a second-level wizard apprentice. If word spread, he would not be laughed at to death..
The key is that he just put down his cruel words not long ago and wanted to give Sunan a taste of death, but now he is beaten to a standstill and in a state of embarrassment. Don't be too ironic..
“I must kill you！”
Amidst the sharp shouts, Herb's thin body expanded rapidly as if it was inflated..
In just a blink of an eye, Herb's height swelled to more than three meters, thick black hair sprouted all over his body, and his limbs became extremely thick and burly. His exaggerated muscles were full of explosive power, making people feel weak at first glance..
In addition to retaining human-like facial features and being able to walk upright, Heb now looks like a giant bear..
“Transfiguration？”
“No, that's not right. Transfiguration is a fourth-level spell, and it is impossible for a third-level wizard apprentice to master it..”
“It should be a physical transformation. This guy integrated the lycanthropic blood into his body.！”
Su Nan narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that Herb's research on the lycanthropic bloodline is very deep..
At this time, Heb's eyes had turned into a strange dark red, and a fishy smell was emitting from his bloody mouth..
He roared, took heavy steps, and rushed towards Sunan like a tank charging..
boom！
The rune gems turned into thunder in mid-air and bombarded them..
This time Herb did not dodge, but chose to resist the lightning bombardment..
Strengthened by the blood of the beastman, his physical fitness has reached an astonishing level. Even with the electric snakes scurrying around his body, he can still maintain the momentum of sprinting, and in the blink of an eye he is within five meters in front of Sunan..
Looking at Sunan's 'thin' body, a ferocious smile appeared on Heb's face..
At this distance, even low-light protective magic items cannot resist him.！
This guy is dead！
Herb's heart surged with murderous intent, and strong excitement filled his entire chest..
But when he got closer, he was shocked to find that there was no trace of panic on Sunan's face, but instead a half-smile..
Inexplicably, Herb felt a sense of uneasiness deep in his heart..
The next second, a bone-chilling cold air suddenly burst out from Sunan's body, sweeping away in all directions like a storm.！
Click! click！
A large number of ice crystals quickly condensed in the air, and a thick layer of ice quickly spread along the ground..
Herb didn't even have time to react, and a thick layer of frost instantly formed on his body..
The huge body seemed to have pressed a slow-motion button, and its movements were visibly sluggish..
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sunan quickly retreated and distanced himself. At the same time, the ring on the middle finger of his right hand flashed with light..
In an instant, countless black mist emerged from the void, quickly condensed into a huge sharp claw, and fiercely attacked with a strong aura of death..
Catastrophe Claw！
Faced with the fierce attack of the giant claw, his whole body was covered with frost and his movements were sluggish. Heb had no way to dodge. He could only watch as the giant claw hit his body hard..Shila！
There was a sound like the tearing of cloth, and several bloody wounds appeared on Heb's body..
The strong aura of death penetrated along the wound, constantly corroding his flesh, and the blood flowed down like a spring..
“ah！！”
Herb let out a shrill howl..
Although it cannot be seen from the outside, the strong negative energy attached to the Calamity Claw is already violently attacking his internal organs and flesh and bones..
The intense pain made Heb's eyes become redder and redder, and the whole person seemed to be in some kind of violent state. Both eyes turned a faint blood red, as if the pupils had melted in the eyeballs, and the eyes glowed faintly. light.
Hee hee hee！
A large amount of dense blood mist suddenly escaped from Hebu's skin, steaming up.
The extreme high temperature caused the ice on his body to melt quickly.
“Is it similar to the ability to become a beast?.”
Sunan curled her lips.
Although this state can greatly improve combat effectiveness, sanity will inevitably be affected..
For a wizard, the most important thing is to maintain a clear mind at all times..
Sure enough, after regaining his mobility, Herb immediately roared and charged at Sunan, transforming into a ferocious beast..
Su Nan looked calm, turned his palm over, and there were three more rune gems between his fingers..
The next moment, three rune gems flew out of their hands, turned into lightning in mid-air, and struck Herb head-on.！
boom！
Deafening thunder echoed over the courtyard.
The dazzling lightning was like a giant ball, completely engulfing Herb.！
Thin arcs of electricity spread around, almost sweeping across the entire courtyard. The lycanthropes, giant bears, and hidden dragons who were fighting were swept by the arcs, and their bodies were all paralyzed and stiff for a moment..
Only the steel golem was immune to the paralysis effect and took the opportunity to smash a lycanthrope into a pulp with his fist..
When the lightning dissipated, there was a huge hole four to five meters deep in the center of the courtyard..
Herb was lying in the middle of the pit. His huge body had returned to its original appearance. His whole body was scorched black, and there was almost no intact skin or flesh..
There were five long bloody wounds on the chest and abdomen, and the skin and flesh were rolled outwards, which was shocking..
After breaking away from the beast-like state, he seemed to have regained consciousness. There was panic in his eyes. He struggled to raise his head and made a strange whooshing sound in his mouth, as if he wanted to say something..
But Sunan, who was well aware of the dangers of the sorcerer apprentice, did not intend to give him this opportunity. He directly shot a thunderbolt through his eyebrows, throat and heart to ensure that this guy would never die again..
With eyes full of unwillingness and despair, Herb stopped living..
Sensing that Heb's soul aura gradually dissipated, Sunan breathed a sigh of relief..
Even after a battle, he was barely injured, but in fact he had exhausted all his cards. If he still couldn't kill Herb, he would have to consider escaping next..
“All the high-level rune gems have been used up." Sunan felt a little hurt..
A high-level rune gem costs more than three hundred gold coins..
During this period, he spent all the gold coins on hand and only synthesized six..
The three just now were the last high-level rune gems in his hand..
Fortunately, the last blow finally defeated Herb..
At the same time, as Herb died, his giant bear demon pet also whined, and its body disintegrated piece by piece, turning into fly ash and dispersing in the air..
Without their controller, the two lycanthropes fell into chaos and were killed by the Hidden Dragon and the Steel Golem not long after..
Seeing that the enemies had been dealt with, Sunan felt relieved and walked to Heb's body and squatted down..
“A battle cost nearly two thousand gold coins. I hope you have something that can make up for my loss..”
Su Nan stretched out his hand and began to touch the body..
Due to the thunder bombardment, most of the things on Heb's body were damaged, including two suspected offensive alchemy-level magic items..
Only protective and space-type magic items with relatively stable properties have been preserved and have not been damaged..
The two protective magic items were of alchemy level and were of little use to Sunan. He put them away and prepared them for the students to redeem..
But the last space ring has a lot of things stored in it..
Gold coins, gems, books, various materials and sundries.
There were more than a hundred gems alone, which was more than enough to make up for Sunan's consumption in this battle, and made him feel better all of a sudden..
But this is not the place to count the loot. Sunan put the things away and prepared to go back to the base and slowly count them..
Standing up, Su Nan caught a glimpse of several guards poking their heads at the courtyard door from the corner of his eye..
But when people outside heard the noise in the courtyard disappear, they sent someone over to find out what was going on..
Seeing Su Nan standing in the center of the courtyard, all at ease, several guards showed joy on their faces. They turned around and shouted excitedly: "Your Excellency, Sunan, has won."！”
Not long after, a group of people burst into the courtyard.
Key, the leader, walked a few steps quickly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sunan was unharmed..
Then he glanced at the messy courtyard, which looked like it had been swept by a storm, and he couldn't help but secretly gasp..
The battle between the wizard's apprentice is indeed terrifying. Dozens of great knights fighting together wouldn't be so destructive, right?.
“What about the wizard's apprentice? "Ke Yi asked after coming back to his senses..
“It's been solved." Sunan pointed to the charred corpse lying in the pit..
When Keyi saw this, he suddenly became happy..
During this time, he was worried about the existence of hostile wizard apprentices..
But I didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to kill me. Now I have no worries at all..
“In the war after spring, we suddenly lost one of our biggest threats." Key grinned..
Sunan smiled but said nothing.
Under normal circumstances, Herb's approach was correct..
Generally speaking, for his dignified third-level wizard apprentice to deal with a second-level wizard apprentice, it is completely easy, and there will be no surprises at all..
It's a pity that he happened to bump into someone like himself, and was smashed to death by a higher-level equipment and prop..
I can only say that I was unlucky..
Shaking his head secretly, Sunan did not explain to Keyi, but just asked him to burn Heb's body as soon as possible..
After all, looking at Heb's appearance, he is probably fused with the blood of the original lycanthrope. Who knows if his corpse is contagious? If it is not handled properly, someone might be infected with lycanthropy..
Key soon figured out the connection, agreed immediately, and turned around to arrange for people to dispose of the body..
Sunan put away the steel golem and left the lord's mansion..
He couldn't wait to see what was in Herb's space ring..
