Generally speaking, spellcasters would try their best to avoid being approached by others. This was common sense, but some special spellcasters weren't afraid of being approached by others. For example, mages who liked to use close-range touch spells. Most of their spell slots were extremely fast, or even instantaneous, and had a very rapid trajectory, such as Burning Hand and Thunder Palm. These kinds of magic skills were quite troublesome for melee professions.
However, only a small number of extremely confident mages would choose this kind of magic group, because melee professions were generally fast and had fast reflexes. It wasn't realistic for mages to compete with them in speed and reflexes. Under normal circumstances, mages who were good at long-range attacks and crowd control spells had a much higher survival rate than melee mages who liked to fight head-on with Warriors.
However, Liang Lidong clearly didn't look like a melee mage. Barbara saw that his swordsmanship was very good, and Kail just said that he was very agile, so she thought of the special profession of "Battle Priest." She once heard from her teacher that there were some talented priests who could not only use a large number of divine spells, but also had very strong bodies. After years of training, their close combat ability and divine spells were ingeniously combined, and they had quite a comprehensive combat ability.
In terms of class characteristics, the fighting style of "Divine Nobles" was somewhat similar to that of "Battle Priests." Their close combat ability and magic ability were quite average, but the overall ability of the "Divine Nobles" was slightly worse than that of "Battle Priests." After all, the attributes of the "Divine Nobles" were too average, while "Battle Priests" could use divine spells to temporarily strengthen their bodies in battle. This was why Liang Lidong wanted to set up a teaching profession and "exchange" one or two divine spells from Goddess Woking to strengthen his own strength.
Whether it was "Rogue" or "Assassin," they were both very annoying professions. Any place with the slightest shadow could be their hiding place. There were only three ways to find these annoying people who could follow into the shadows. One was to use detection magic, another was to have special vision that could see through most illusions, and the third was to have an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
The first method was too troublesome. Detection magic required a lot of preparation, and it was very exhausting. If it was easy, the assassin profession would have been extinct long ago. The third method was not very reliable, because assassins would smell themselves with perfume or other scents to cover up their body odor. The most reliable method was the second method, with special vision that could see through illusions. However, such people were too few, and they all appeared in the warlock profession.
Liang Lidong had true vision that could see through all illusions, so any assassin-type shadow ability would not work in front of him.
The disappeared Rogue was crouching and slowly walking in the shadows of the grass outside the garden. Because the crossbow would reflect light, he had already put it into his clothes.
He had watched the previous battle. Although it seemed like they were at a disadvantage, in reality, he was not the key at all. That was because they still had a trump card, and the initiative was still in their hands. He wandered in the shadows, hoping to find a chance to kill the enemy, but the other party had been gathered together and didn't relax.
Just as he was thinking about how to separate the enemy, the bright blonde spellcaster, who looked like an aristocrat at first glance, came out and came in his direction, carrying a shoddy iron sword.
He actually took the initiative to come out. Did he want to die? The Rogue in the shadows licked his dry lips. He took out the crossbow and placed it on his back. If the silver crossbow was placed in front, it might reflect light, making the Shadow Escape ability ineffective and exposing his position. Then he took out a few sharp crossbow bolts from his pocket with his other hand and quietly filled them into the silver crossbow.
As long as he moved forward another twenty steps, within forty meters, with the shooting power of this crossbow, he could shoot the bolt into the opponent's head in half a second, and the opponent would have no chance to react at all.
Ten steps away! The Rogue pressed his left hand on the ground, trying to stabilize his body. For long-range shooting, stability was very important.
Five steps away … The Rogue felt his blood begin to boil. In a few seconds, he could add a little spellcaster prey to his record. This was the first time he had killed a spellcaster.
But it was also at this time that he felt an inexplicable chill wandering under his skin. At this time, the prey had walked into a shadow. The rogue saw the spellcaster in the light. The spellcaster walked slowly with a faint smile. The spellcaster's eyes, which should have been blue, actually reflected a light golden color. And most importantly, he saw that the pupils in the spellcaster's eyes had changed, becoming vertical.
Cat Eyes? Snake Eyes? Doesn't look like it … A thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Dragon Eyes … This spellcaster was a warlock, and the other party had the ability to see through shadows. The Rogue felt a chill in his heart and immediately wanted to run away. The Rogue who had been seen through had no combat power to speak of.
But it was too late. Although Liang Lidong was about to enter the enemy's attack range, in fact, the other party had already entered his killing range.
Although he still had no long-range offensive magic at this time, this did not mean that he had no long-range attack methods. Liang Lidong's palm shook slightly, and a scroll appeared in his hand. The Rogue was about to escape, but Liang Lidong threw the scroll out forcefully. As soon as the scroll left his hand, it turned into a fist-sized fireball and flew towards the back of the Rogue.
Joan Of Arc opened her mouth and began to condense air bombs.
Feeling the scorching energy rushing from behind, the Rogue threw himself on the ground, and the small golden fireball flew over him.
He dodged it … The Rogue's heart was relieved, and he used the Roll ability to quickly get up and continue to run forward. The Rogue, who had lost the shelter of shadows, was as powerless as a baby in front of the spellcaster. He was trying his best to run forward to get out of the enemy's spellcasting range, but he saw the small golden fireball suddenly hovering. He hurriedly stopped his body. He was one meter away from hitting the fireball. Just when he was feeling a little lucky, there was a finger snap from the opposite direction.
The Rogue's hair all over his body stood up. He jumped back, and as soon as his feet left the ground, the small golden fireball exploded.
Although the power of the small fireball was far less powerful than Barbara's Big Fireball, the Rogue was too close to the center of the explosion. He was hit by the airwaves and sparks of the small fireball, and his whole body kept retreating.
If the current situation was described in game terms, it would be explained as follows: The Rogue used the Danger Sense ability in the explosion range, passed the check, and only received half of the damage from the spell.
After taking four steps back, the Rogue was about to stabilize his body and continue to run away. At this time, Joan Of Arc's air bomb suddenly launched. The air bomb was a type of air magic, and its ballistic speed was faster than the small fireball. The Rogue could dodge Joan Of Arc's previous attack, but this time he had no way to avoid it.
The air bullets hit the back of the Wanderer. At the same time, the sound of bones breaking was heard, and the Wanderer flew up. His body flew forward for more than three meters and fell on the grass. He kept vomiting blood, and his eyes were blurred. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to survive.
"I have to go and finish him off!" Liang Lidong said to himself, and then slowly moved forward.
At the same time, a scroll suddenly appeared in his hand. In the shadow, he quietly stuffed the scroll into his robe. Because the robe was wide, the scroll slipped down silently and fell to the ground. Under the cover of the robe, the scroll rolled into the grass. Even Joan Of Arc, who was standing on his shoulder, did not notice this action.
Liang Lidong continued to move forward. The Rogue now had little breath left. Joan Of Arc was a magic pet, and her combat power was not weak. In addition, the Rogue was not a profession with strong vitality, so it was not surprising that he was killed by a single blow.
"Rest in peace!" Liang Lidong said lightly as he watched the vitality of the other party getting weaker and weaker. He had long been used to seeing life and death in the game. Although the NPCs in the game were just NPCs, because they were too real, it took him a long time to get used to the guilt after killing people.
The Rogue looked at Liang Lidong in confusion, and the vitality in his eyes gradually disappeared. He squatted down and closed the eyes of the dead man.
There was a woman's scream behind him. Liang Lidong looked back, only to see half of a body in black being dragged into the void. The Spatial Anchor Scroll was working. He knew that there was still an Assassin hiding behind him, waiting for the opportunity to make a move. He also played along and quietly threw a Spatial Anchor scroll that had been activated on the grass. Because he used a small trick and used words to confuse the other party, the Assassin behind him did not notice that there was a scroll hidden in the grass.
Spatial Anchor was a very interesting spell. It was usually used to locate the void and then find a support-type scroll that could summon special beasts. But this magic could be used completely differently. In reality, an object was set as a spatial anchor point, and when the magic was activated, the object as an anchor point would be pulled into the void instead.
When Liang Lidong activated the scroll, he set a rather vague anchor point: humanoid creature.
As the initiator of the scroll, he certainly could not be treated as an anchor point by magic, so apart from him, the humanoid creature closest to the scroll would naturally be used as an anchor point and thrown into the void. The Assassin approached silently. She hid in the shadows and could hide from the sight of others, but she could not escape the passive detection of magic. After being sucked into the void, no one knew what her fate would be. Creatures could survive in the void, but it was very difficult for them to return to the real world.
Any magic, as long as it was used properly, would have a miraculous effect. This was a truth that players and spellcasters all agreed on in the game.
Not far away, Barbara and Kail saw everything that had just happened, and then they were both speechless.
It was only then that Kail truly realized how powerful his teacher was, although he didn't throw a big fireball like Barbara and shock everyone. But his teacher easily killed an enemy with a wave of his hand and his magic pet, and then easily used a small trick to kill another enemy who was about to ambush him. This kind of calm and elegant killing was simply too cool in the eyes of the young man.
"Teacher is too strong," Kail murmured.
Barbara couldn't help but nod: "Yes, this is not a gap in strength, but a gap in combat experience. Your teacher must have been a battle-tested strong person before. I never knew that the 'spatial anchor' magic could be used in this way, it's my first time seeing it, I have learned something new."
