The Demonic Weave that Sharlayan and Valeera are familiar with has long been "trained" by Spellweaver Malygos, and has become much docile, and will hardly cause any backlash to those who borrow the energy of the Demonic Weave...unless they do it themselves. die.
In the current, still very barbaric ancient era, Malygos has not even a shadow, so it is naturally impossible to talk about Spellweaver.
Wild and uncontrolled arcane energy is running unbridled in the original magic network of Azeroth. Just like Aluneth, they will instinctively fight back against those who try to control them.
Sarlayan did not intend to completely control the Magic Network. He just wanted to borrow part of the Magic Network's energy to complete Mimiron's commission and build a magic barrier to cover up the magic power of the Well of Eternity flowing into the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
However, for those primitive arcane entities that run freely throughout Azeroth along the lines of the Leyline, Sharlayan's behavior is undoubtedly a provocation to them.
The arcane entity, used to being unrestrained, decided to teach the audacious offender a lesson he would never forget.
Valeela took a quick glance with the corner of her eye and saw that there were four arcane entities that appeared in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in response to the call. One of them was temporarily restrained by the freezing trap and would be difficult to break free in a short period of time.
'1 versus 3? It's a bit difficult to handle, but...it's not without a chance of winning. '
Valeela has been traveling with Sarlayan all the time. In just ten years, the various events she has experienced are more exciting than the lifetimes of many high elves.
Because of this, Valeera has extremely rich combat experience. Driven by her already outstanding talent, her progress is only slightly slower than that of Sharlayan, and she has already touched the ceiling of a mortal.
The arcane entities in front of me, from a pure energy level, are almost as different from Valeela.
However, if the actual combat experience gap between them is taken into account, Valeela is sure that she can easily crush them.
'The problem is that……'
Valeela narrowed her eyes slightly and observed these enemies with a solemn expression as they were constantly switching between physical and incorporeal states.
'Is this the phase legendary ability that Sharlayan mentioned before? '
Phase travel is very similar to the stealth effect used by thieves, but in fact the principles of the two are completely different.
The thief's stealth uses the power of shadow, one of the branches of the power of shadow, to cover his body.
Phase shuttle requires the use of one's own space cognitive ability to move back and forth between the physical world and phase space to achieve the effect of stealth in an alternative way.
The invisibility technique mastered by arcanists is one of the applications of phase technology, which avoids danger by transferring oneself to a phase space that cannot be detected by others.
Valeera had also studied the phase traveling technique with Jaina and Stellagosa before. She believed that if she learned this ability, she could effectively strengthen her penetration skills.
According to Stellagosa and Jaina, phase travel does not require much arcane talent from the user.
But this does not mean that this ability can be easily mastered.
To learn and use phase travel, the user must have a certain degree of spatial cognition. This is also a talent, and it is an extremely rare spatial talent.
If you don't have enough talent to learn it by force, the biggest possibility is that you will get lost in other planes and be unable to return to reality when you try to use it.
Valeela's arcane talent is indeed relatively low-key, but she is surprisingly talented in spatial cognition.
When Jaina learned about this, she said something dumbfounded.
"If you can possess arcane talents above the standard line at the same time, as long as you can develop them correctly, sooner or later you can surpass the arcane masters of Dalaran and Quel'Thalas and become a master who specializes in space spells. Mage, even goes one step further...what a shame.”
Jaina felt pity for Valeera's talent in spatial cognition that was far beyond ordinary people, but Valeera herself did not care about it.
Sarlayan has a good saying, nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, and blindly lamenting those things that cannot be changed will not help. You should learn to be content with what you have.
As the saying goes, whatever I am born with will be useful.
Valeera doesn't think that she can't make good use of her spatial cognitive talent without arcane talent. She thinks it's just that she hasn't been able to find a better space for the moment.
Before following Sarlayan through the portal of time and space and coming to this era, Valeera had an indescribable premonition. She always felt that this time travel would bring her something.
But now, this premonition has come true.
These arcane entities can indeed feel the fluctuations of arcane energy when they travel through phases, but unlike the method developed by Jaina and Little Star, this fluctuation is not as intense as when mages activate flash and teleportation.
In other words, if Valeera can learn the phase-traveling techniques used by these arcane entities, she can further strengthen herself and become more difficult to detect by enemies during combat and stealth.
Valeela's mind was racing with thoughts, but she did not hesitate because of her personal problems.
Sidestepping to avoid an arcane entity that moved behind her through phase shuttle to sneak attack, Valira turned her body without looking back, stretched out her long and tight legs and swept backwards.
Before Valeela's counterattack hit, the enemy who had remained in the physical state suddenly became virtual and hid in the phase space to avoid the attack.
"Ha~"
The kick was in the air, and Valeera wasn't too surprised.
Now that the abilities of these arcane entities have been confirmed, she had already expected this situation.
With the corner of her eye, she glanced at Sarlayan, who was still concentrating on building the magic circle, and Valeera frowned slightly.
'With that thing close by, these arcane entities themselves are not difficult to deal with, but in order not to interfere with Sharlayan's ongoing work, it is better to lure them out of a certain range and then deal with them all at once. '
Withdrawing the Quel'Sera dagger in her left hand, Valeera took out several throwing knives from the leather pouch at her waist and clamped them between her fingers.
Using the movement skills of the soul to avoid the sneak attack of an arcane entity again, Valeera's flexible body moved from square to inch like a dance.
With the assistance of throwing knives, Valeela used small-scale space suppression to force the three most active arcane entities out of a distance of five meters from Sarlayan.
The arcane entity that was previously frozen in the freezing trap was about to break free. It seemed that the situation was not good for Valeela, but they were gathered together unknowingly.
'it's time. '
Sprinkling glitter powder to hide her body and forcefully enter the stealth state, Valeera quickly took out a crystal-clear orb from the package and held it in her hand.
After finally calculating the distance to Sharlayan, Valeera injected energy into the orb to activate it without hesitation.
"Buzz!"
As a deep purple light appeared on the surface of the orb, the four arcane entities with their teeth and claws suddenly froze in place.
The next second, the atomized bodies of the four arcane entities disintegrated almost simultaneously, turning into pure arcane energy and returning to the magic network.
"Huh~"
Valeela, who carefully controlled the sphere of action of the orb, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Forbidden Demon Orb."
He tossed the purple orb in his hand with some emotion: "This thing can really work best only in my hands."
The Orb of Forbidden Magic is a special artifact that Sharlayan found from Karazhan's treasure house. Its function is very single, and it can prohibit the use of any spell within a certain range.
Stellagosa and Jaina have studied this orb in depth. According to them, the forbidden magic orb can disrupt the flow of all energy within a certain range. Its principle is similar to the counterspell commonly used by arcanists, but its function is Wider scope.
The basis of arcane entities is energy. After the energy in their bodies is disrupted by the Forbidden Magic Orb, they will naturally be unable to maintain their entities. This seemingly inconspicuous artifact is the natural enemy of pure energy creatures.
As a multi-professor, Sarlayan often needs to use various quick-cast small spells, and the Forbidden Magic Orb cannot exert its maximum effect in his hands.
After discussing with the family, everyone unanimously decided that Valeera, a pure physics professional, would keep the Forbidden Magic Orb.
While the Forbidden Orb took effect, the power of shadow covering Valeela was also disturbed, causing her to retreat from the stealth state.
But the battle is over, so this little problem is harmless.
"Phase shuttle..."
After taking back the Forbidden Magic Orb and walking to where the four arcane entities had dissipated, Valeela knelt down and picked up the arcane cores they left behind, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Is it possible that this is my opportunity for breakthrough?"
