Malika immediately understood that Wang really planned to hide and find a position to tear Banshee's Wail according to the original plan, so she lowered her head to confirm that she had worn the ring she obtained from Tang - Banshee's Wail ignored the enemy and friends, and they would not leave Wang Don't dare to tear the scroll.
Although Kassande noticed that the mage drank the invisibility potion, he did not realize what the mage was going to do. He probably thought that the mage had escaped.
As usual, he prepared the materials for casting spells and issued instructions: "Quick, don't let that person cast spells!"
Mishasha opened his bow and shot. If there was no melee at the scene who could encounter the spellcaster, it was the archer's duty to interfere with the spellcasting.
However, the arrow hit the protective barrier directly.
"Protect arrows!"
As soon as Misha Sara shouted these words, Marika grabbed her and threw her at Elizabeth's feet.
Marika continued to pick up the short priest who was about to charge, and also threw it at Elizabeth's feet.
At this moment, Erwin raised the luminous scepter in his hand: "Dragon Breath!"
Verney also finished casting the spell at about the same time.
The shared protective energy barrier instantly enveloped the creatures defined as "friendly" by the mage.
A fan-shaped spit erupted from the scepter's faucet, covering most of the room.
The negotiation expert had already hid aside, and the spit didn't even scratch his beautiful dress.
Elizabeth shouted: "King! Are you okay?"
The king became invisible, and no one knew where he was or whether he was hit by his breath. On top of that, since Verney, the caster sharing the ward, cannot see him, he may not be covered by the ward(*).
Because of Fernie's protective barrier, the acid dragon's breath failed to penetrate everyone's protection.
The enemies standing between Erwin and the team were not so lucky. The dragon's breath from behind blurred the back of their heads, and their scalps were melted at the sight of them - literal scalp numbness - white skulls. exposed.
Everyone fell to the ground and howled. (*)
When the barbarians and dwarves saw this scene, they all roared and tried to get in Erwin's face.
However, Erwin shouted a few short words, and a large number of mixed troops of goblins and kobolds rushed in from the door they entered, blocking the barbarians and dwarves directly in front.
Flint howled and tried to use his shield to clear the way, but there were so many goblins and kobolds pouring in that even with the strength of the dwarves, he couldn't push them.
Not only that, he was pushed back, and the small hands of the goblin and the kobold pulled his beard desperately.
"Don't pull your beard! My beard! Do you know how expensive the oil on your beard is!"
Kellerman, the rogue of the Duke's team, roared angrily, used amazing skills, stepped on the heads of goblins and kobolds, and rushed towards Erwin in the air.
However, Erwin has already taken action: "Immobilize humans!"
Kellerman transformed directly into a sculpture stepping on the goblin's head, striking a comical stride pose.
Erwin raised his hand and smashed the iron bar in his hand at Kellerman - this was the casting equipment for this spell. He obviously did not prepare any more immobilized humans today.
In the chaos, Marika shouted: "Don't you understand? Come closer to me! Don't rush! Come closer to me!"
Because the drow are not a race known for their loud voices, her shouts were drowned in the chaotic and noisy environment.
Verney stood in his original position and cast the spell calmly. He took a small paper bag from the bag of casting materials. When the paper bag was torn open, a little scale powder fell on the outside. This is the casting material for the Wall of Fire spell.
When Fernie was reciting the incantation, Erwin was also reciting the incantation and released the scepter in his hand, so that the scepter floated in the air beside him as if it was supported by something.
Erwin's vicious eyes under his hood stared intently at Elizabeth.
Upon seeing this, the dwarf threw the war hammer at Erwin, and the hammer hit the activated mage armor.
Erwin is still casting spells!
Seeing this, the dwarf held his shield against the goblins, took out his hand and touched the holy symbol——
"Death-proof barrier!" While shouting, he released his strength and was pushed backwards by the goblins and kobolds.
He fell right at Elizabeth's feet, and his hand, which had already lit up with white light, touched Elizabeth's shoes.
The princess was immediately covered in white light, making all spells with instant death effects meaningless to her.
Erwin immediately changed his target and extended his index finger towards Fernie!
When Fernie saw this, he immediately stopped casting his spell and dodged to the side!
After Erwin finished reading the last word, a green light still hit the mage.
The mage seemed to be stunned suddenly, and then his body fell down weakly. The expression on his face was still fixed at the moment when the green light appeared.
At this time, Kassande also finished casting the spell and threw a piece of carrion at Erwin's feet: "Wall of Insects!"
Mosquitoes and flies swarmed out of nowhere, buzzing within the range marked by the carrion, biting everyone who entered the range.
Erwin spoke while rushing to write: "Fuck! That's why I hate druids!"
The next moment, he activated the spell and appeared directly a few meters away, leaving the range of the insect swarm.
Catman: "I didn't see the spell being cast!"
"Maybe it's a triggering spell! Everyone who knows magic is dead and I don't know where they are!" Cassander looked at Erwin who started to cast spells again, and shouted to Marika, "Whatever you want to do, do it quickly! "
Marika glanced at the rogues who had been overwhelmed by the goblins, wiped the ring that the king had just given to her, and said the activation words.
So everyone gathered around Malika disappeared in a flash of light, along with the goblins and kobolds that happened to come into range.
**
A bunch of people (and evil creatures) fell together in the square.
Manzi reacted quickly, got up and started to open the goblin and goblin.
When this group of little creatures saw this, their morale immediately collapsed and they dispersed.
Marika helped Elizabeth stand up and dusted her off.
"I'm sorry." Elizabeth whispered, "I can't cast a single spell. Without him by my side, I seem to panic..."
Marika: "You'd better thank the dwarf first, you saved a life. But I remember the dwarf - can't Flint only be able to cast three-ring magic?"
Flint got up: "Yeah, so it's just an ordinary assistance spell, but the visual effect is similar to that of an anti-death barrier. Obviously this Erwin is not familiar with the priest's magic. If it were our mage brother, he would probably I saw through it.”
At the mention of "Mage Brother", everyone fell silent.
Elizabeth covered her chest with her hands and grabbed the skin near her collarbone: "Is he... okay?"
"He has the ninth ring of Banshee's Wail." Marika comforted her.
Cassander sighed: "It's useless for us to worry. I will go back to the castle immediately and inform the lord. You be careful."
With that Cassander transformed into a swallow and flew towards the tower of the inner city, the afternoon sun shining on his beautiful feathers.
Marika and Misha Sarah supported Elizabeth, who was already unsteady on her feet.
Catman: "Don't worry, even if he dies, he will be resurrected. And he can also solve the crisis we are facing."
Elizabeth cried: "I know...I know..."
**
Wanderers' Guild, Don's office.
Negotiator: "Sir, didn't you see through the invisibility spell?"
"Of course I do. But look, he didn't tear up the Banshee's Wail scroll before his teammates teleported away, which means he knew that I had prepared a way to deal with the Banshee's Wail!" Erwin said as he took off his pocket. hat, revealing the ring on the forehead.
"This headband will make me immune to instant death effects! Your Banshee's Wail is of no use to me! Hahahaha!"
The next moment, the sound of tearing a scroll sounded.
A sharp whistle sounded, as if ten thousand ghosts were rubbing their claws against the stainless steel shield.
All the glassware and pottery in the room shattered instantly, and the fragments flew away, like grenades exploding.
The negotiator's monocle was also broken, and the broken glass penetrated his eyeball. However, this injury obviously could not cause bleeding from his orifices.
The important cadres and confidants of the Tang Dynasty fell to their knees on the ground, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out three meters away.
Erwin also fell to the ground, bleeding from all his orifices. The staff that had been floating beside him also fell to the ground. The light from the transparent staff head flashed and disappeared.
The whole room fell silent.
It seemed that even most of the kobolds and goblins stuck in the tunnel were dead.
In the silence, footsteps suddenly came.
"It seems that you are not good at studying." Someone said.
Greater invisibility will also hide his form in this situation.
"I discovered that you still have a strong magical aura, so I wasn't sure whether the Banshee's Wail could kill you. I didn't expect that it was just a defensive and instant death ring. You even reported it yourself. Logically Judgment, you said this so proudly, this should be your biggest trump card."
Someone stepped on shards of glass on the ground. Apparently the man had reached Erwin, who was lying lifeless on the ground.
"Although Banshee's Wail seems to be an instant death spell, it is actually a kind of sonic magic. The audible scream is just what the creator of the magic thought it should be. The real lethality is the ultrasonic wave. Inaudible. (*)”
The missing person picked up the scepter that fell next to Erwin, and the next moment the transparent dragon head on the head of the scepter emitted an extremely powerful light.
"Wow, that's awesome." The voice said, "It's actually a real artifact. Oh ho ho ho ho. Is this what my teacher said, the ecstasy when you seize awesome trophies? Oh no, my face is cramping... "
The next moment, the man holding the staff appeared. Because his face was cramped, he looked very ferocious.
It seems that even advanced invisibility techniques can't cover up his current self-satisfied figure!
After finally controlling himself, he kicked the dead man on the ground and continued the sermon he had just interrupted: "Ultrasound will instantly destroy your fragile organs, causing you to die suddenly, just like those glass.
"Of course you may not know what ultrasonic waves are, right? After all, you have probably never studied physics. My uncle said that if you study mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling around the world. This seems to be the consensus of mages who come from a certain plane. If someone uses the prayer technique to resurrect you, you should study these carefully."
As he spoke, the new owner of the artifact took off the headband that Erwin had just boasted about, and then casually cast a detection magic item.
"Only two items." After the new owner of the staff confirmed that there was no more magic aura in Erwin, he confiscated his spell-casting material package.
Then he turned his head and looked at the other equipment illuminated by magic. After confirming that there was nothing good, he walked over and recovered the warhammer thrown by the dwarf into the dimensional bag, and then handed over the material bag of the mage from Bruce's team.
After taking the material bag, Wang originally wanted to leave, but suddenly raised his eyebrows, turned around, gently closed the eyes of the corpse, and threw the whole body into the dimensional bag - this was a friendly force after all, although it only lasted less than half a day. teammate.
Time stops in the dimensional bag, so there is no fear of the body deteriorating. If it weren't for the fact that the dimensional bag couldn't contain living creatures, he would have just tried to put Erwin in it and then take it out somewhere like magma.
After continuing to recover the rogue whose corpse was in terrible shape, the king heard a sound in the tunnel leading to the guild. It seems that someone in the guild who can make up his mind finally has the courage to come here.
So he held the artifact high and loudly spoke the kobold language given to him by the artifact.
Immediately, several kobolds came in tremblingly.
Wang: “Fuck, is that all that’s left?”
When they saw the blazing light at the top of the artifact, all the kobolds knelt on the ground and shouted: "The new messenger of the Dragon God!"
Just then a group of guild rogues burst into the room.
Wang immediately took out the advanced invisibility potion and drank it.
=====
(*) Because this chapter is a battle chapter, there is a lot of explanation, and the author’s words cannot be included. Just put it after the chapter.
Regarding the caster, the caster cannot see his teammates, so the BUFF teammates cannot get this. That’s the rule, but it’s actually more flexible in running groups. In CRPG games, it is even simpler. By default, sneaking and invisibility are invalid for teammates, so you can still take any BUFF.
When running a group, it all depends on whether the DM has a good relationship with you. Here it is obvious that the protagonist has eaten, but Elizabeth thought that he did not.
In addition, the common protection energy needs to specify what to protect when casting a spell. Here is the judgment made by mage Ferni with his rich experience.
Furthermore, the protective energy cannot actually completely offset the damage of a dragon's breath, but here it is treated as a full offset.
After the strong acid is sprayed on the guild's rogues, they should continue to stand and masturbate until they die in the game, but here it is set that the severe pain caused by the strong acid corrosion deprives them of their combat effectiveness. This seems more reasonable.
In short, you understand that the protagonist of the story is a mage, so it is enough to get the BUFF in the spell.
Finally, there is Banshee's Wail. In fact, whether the death-proof effect can prevent Banshee's Wail is really debatable. It will probably take a long time to fight. The description in this book is mainly because Banshee's Wail is a tough immunity spell, so I made some of my own creations about it. When readers run a group on their own, please ask the DM if you can play in this way.
The last thing is something that came to my mind at the last moment. The scrolls in this book will take effect once they are torn apart, but they require an appraisal of using magic items, so only the protagonist, the king, and other characters who have been trained as system casters can tear them apart. The princess is too stupid to tear the scrolls apart.
When running a group in DND, you need to recite the scroll when using it, but in this book, you don’t need to recite it, just tearing it will take effect. This is to make the action of tearing the scroll different from regular spell casting.
In fact, this distinction is also what the author is pursuing. For example, the rogues in this book are all of the stealth and backstab style, and none rely on flanking and sneak attacks. The rangers usually focus on archery, but the elven archers who will join later will also draw double swords. Because the elf archer is Legolas's counterpart in time and space, he is favored by the DM.
