Although he knew that Sharlayan was deliberately trying to force him out by provoking him, Aegwynn, who was furious, still voluntarily fell into the trap.
The huge fireball flying out from the side of the swamp came to the sky above Sarlayan and others in the blink of an eye. It was a pyrotechnic that had been charged for a long time.
Just when Onyxia was wondering why she was shooting Pyroblast into the air, an idea suddenly flashed in Sharlayan's mind, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Oni! Earth barrier!"
Onyxia hadn't figured out Aegwynn's intention yet, but she still instinctively obeyed Sharlayan's instructions, and stepped hard on the ground with her long and slender left leg.
Centered on the area where the four people were, an earthy-yellow energy barrier suddenly rose from the surrounding swamp ground.
"boom!"
As Sharlayan expected, Aegwynn's Pyroblast was not aimed at a specific target.
This giant fireball with some bluish colors exploded in mid-air and split into countless small flame bombs.
Fortunately, Sarlayan's reminder was timely enough. The earth barrier raised by Onyxia firmly caught this splitting pyroblast. Those small flame bombs made a crackling sound when they hit the surface of the barrier, but they could not Break defense.
Onyxia is a serious adult dragon with the strength of a demigod. If Sharlayan hadn't said hello in advance, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to deal with Aegwynn.
They are both demigods, but there is a strength gap between them.
Aegwynn in her heyday should be able to handle Onyxia, the rising star of the black dragon clan, but now... the fact is cruel, she cannot penetrate Onyxia's defense.
"Got you!"
This improved version of Pyroblast exposed Aegwynn's position. Sarlayan kicked off the ground hard with both feet, jumped high into the air with a heroic leap, and used the Eagle Eye technique to condescendingly lock the invisibility technique. Aegwynn.
"charge!"
While he was in mid-air, Sarlayan stepped on the air and used the second stage to use his strength, forcibly turning the direction in the air, and rushed straight towards Aegwynn, who was preparing the second spell.
Due to the effect of the beauty-preserving spell, time has not left many traces on Aegwynn's face.
She looked like a beautiful lady in her early 30s, with long, bright golden hair floating behind her head, automatically moving without wind under the high fluctuations of mana.
Aegwynn once owned two artifact staffs. One was the staff of Atiesh that was passed down from generation to generation by the guardians of Tirisfal. The other was made by Aegwynn using an arcane entity named Aluneth. The finished Staff of Aluneth.
The Staff of Atiesh was left to Medivh by Aegwynn many years ago.
After Medivh's death, Atiesh was recovered by Dalaran and is still kept in the Kirin Tor's treasury to recharge Dalaran's defensive barrier.
In the original history, after Dalaran was easily defeated by Archimonde, Atiesh's staff was broken into pieces. It was only many years later that Khadgar, who returned from the outside world, recast it into shape.
[Wait a minute, didn’t Atiesh later pass to Medivh’s son Med’an? 】
[Who is Mai De'an? I don’t know him, but Glass Slag has been eating books for a long time. There is no such person in the official history. 】
Sarlayan also felt that Med'an's life experience was rather confusing. According to a certain comic setting mentioned by the barrage, Med'an was the son of Medivh and Garona.
Although Garona was only half an orc and the other half a Draenei, she still looked like an ugly ghost with a green face and fangs (by high elf standards), and Medivh was actually able to kill her.
[Perhaps Medivh’s xp is different from ordinary people. Some people like Fury who sheds his hair twice a year. Orcs are nothing. 】
[God lost his hair twice, and you gave me back my beautiful fantasy! 】
[Hey, dog owners understand that if you have a long-haired dog, it will be a nightmare during the shedding season. 】
【do not talk! Leave me some room for fantasy, I have to firmly believe, long live Furui! 】
[Nick Fury: Who called me? 】
【Fuck! You've had enough! 】
Seeing that the barrage unknowingly went sideways again, Sarlayan curled his lips and thoughts flashed through his mind.
Whether it was the Staff of Atiesh or the Staff of Alunes, they were no longer in Aegwynn's hands.
After living in seclusion for many years, she has long since lost the ambition to constantly pursue powerful power when she was young. What she uses to cast spells now is just a mediocre ordinary staff.
However, it was this ordinary staff that gave Sarlayan a "surprise".
When he charged in front of Eggwen, the former guardian did not waste time casting spells, and directly used arcane magic to condense an energy light blade on the head of the staff.
This move was obviously beyond Sarlayan's expectation. He did not expect that an old and frail old mage would dare to engage in close combat with him.
Unprepared, Sarlayan charged at high speed and almost had his throat slit by the arcane light blade that swept past him. In his extreme state, he posed backwards like an iron bridge and barely escaped the attack.
Although he was not injured, Aegwynn's unexpected move really made Sharlayan break out in a cold sweat.
Even though his body is old and his fighting ability has declined, Aegwynn, who has rich combat experience, is still difficult to deal with, and he may suffer big losses if he is not careful.
Putting away the optimistic thoughts in his heart, Sharlayan truly began to concentrate on fighting Aegwynn.
The provocation method is very effective, which can be seen from Aegwynn's blue eyes full of anger.
Finally, Aegwynn was forced out of her hiding place. If she wanted to clean up the situation, Sharlayan had to defeat the angry Aegwynn first, and then slowly explain her purpose.
Although not as good as Aegwynn's more than 800 years of combat experience, Sharlayan also gained a lot while traveling Azeroth and fought against various types of spellcasters.
The core of the battle with melee professions and spellcasters can be summarized in one sentence, just get close without thinking.
Even a legendary mage cannot completely abandon chanting when releasing spells.
Omitting the chant can indeed greatly increase the casting speed, but correspondingly, the power will be much lower than that of a fully chanted spell.
Aegwynn's instant fireball hit Thalayan, seemingly without breaking through the defense at all, leaving only a black mark on Thalayan's coat.
"Um?"
After all, he is also a legendary mage. The power of instant fireball is stronger than the pyrotechnic of ordinary mage. Logically speaking, it should be able to cause some damage.
However, the fact that he could not break the defense was right in front of him. Aegwynn frowned as he flashed back to avoid Sharlayan's counterattack.
"What's going on with this kid? He's obviously not wearing magic armor. He has anti-magic magic tools on him?"
According to the standards of Quel'Thalas, the armor commonly used by high elves can be roughly divided into two categories.
One is purely physical defense, no different from the regular armor used by other human kingdoms.
The other type is magic armor that only a few countries have institutionalized and put into use.
Due to the large number of enchantment lines carved on the surface of the armor, the physical defense of this type of armor is poor. Correspondingly, the spell defense is very good.
Before Aegwynn gave birth to Medivh, she was also a fighting maniac who fought in the air and on the battlefield. She fanatically pursued more powerful power.
Aegwynn, who is nearly a thousand years old, has had a lot of experience fighting high elves. After all, high elves are one of the main races that make up the Parliament of Tirisfal.
High elven pursuers of the Mystic Order of Tiris usually wear magical armor with good resistance to magic.
Aegwynn had encountered a crazed pursuer before. In addition to the magic armor, she also wore a high-level anti-magic necklace on her chest.
The two phases were superimposed, and even Aegwynn's spell at his peak could not cause substantial damage to the pursuer.
That was the only time Aegwynn left the battlefield before the winner was decided.
Who the hell wants to fight a turtle shell?
However, Sarlayan was different from the high elf noble lady she met who came out to experience life. He did not have the aura of anti-magic magic tools in his body.
Anti-magic magic tools are indiscriminate in their effects, hurting both the enemy and yourself.
Condensed arcane energy can clearly be seen on Sarlayan's swords, which are obviously not affected by the magic tools.
'Could it be...'
Aegwin, who has rich life experience, thought of a possibility.
The opponent was able to defeat her instant fireball simply by relying on physical strength. Not many races could possess this kind of ability to resist magic.
Thinking about the other party's half-elf identity again, Aegwynn felt a little bitter in her heart, and her rising anger gradually calmed down.
'If that's the case... this battle won't be easy. '
'Am I going to lose to a kid who is not even 30 years old? '
