This was the first time she had consumed so many spells in a battle.
But fortunately, because I control my spiritual power, I only feel a little tired after casting spells twenty or thirty times in succession, and I can still sustain it for a long time.
And this is thanks to this steel bunker that allows her to cast spells with peace of mind.
Erina was able to crouch behind and cast spells while observing the situation. There is no need to frequently use defensive spells that do not last long, and there is no need to cast spells quickly that consume dozens of times of spiritual power - that can turn spells that last several seconds into instant casts.
The ability to freely turn most spells that require casting times into instant casts is the mark of a powerful mage.
Being able to accurately judge the situation and never abuse this skill has become one of the indicators of how far this mage can achieve in the field of magic.
Erina relied on the bunker to obtain a safe spellcasting environment and longer mana endurance. But it also poses a problem.
That is, when suppressed by enemy fire, the visual field conditions will become very poor.
After all, the bunker isn't transparent.
She often needs to show her head if she wants to see the enemy's situation. And that moment was extremely dangerous. So I can only take one look and then retract immediately. Otherwise, your head will definitely be blown off.
It wasn't until the enemy began to fire few arrows and started shooting at her in large numbers that Erina smelled the strong smell of gunpowder and realized that these people were trying to capture her alive.
Because, those arrows seemed to have something painted on them.
It must be a tranquilizer or something.
You know, in this high-speed traveling state, it is not easy to use long-range spells to hit the pursuers.
It was even more difficult to cast spells accurately by occasionally glancing outside the bunker once or twice.
Therefore, most of Erina's spells are useless.
Or, it just didn't hit the right position - such as hitting in front of the enemy mage. This spell will not cause any damage. It will definitely be blocked by the opponent's defensive spells.
In fact, it is useless to hit the guards with enchanted shields.
She noticed that those shields had the effect of disintegrating magic (spiritual power). Once you raise your shield to block a spell, the spell will be directly dispelled without any effect.
For example, if a normal shield is hit by the explosive fireball released by Erina, the guard will be seriously injured even if he does not die.
After all, the impact blocked by the front was not enough to make him unscathed by the explosion caused by the fireball contacting the shield.
But this kind of shield with magic disintegration effect can block with confidence.
The fireball will explode into a ball of flames and disappear after hitting the shield. Will not cause an explosion.
If the disintegration effect attached to this shield was stronger, even the flames would not appear when the fireball disappeared.
Of course, there is an upper limit to the spell intensity that this shield can resist. It is even more impossible to eliminate a spell with an excessive range by slapping it with a shield.
Therefore, Erina began to reduce the number of spells cast, instead increasing the power and range of a single spell, and tried to use terrain factors to further hinder the advancement of the pursuers.
After all, there are not only spellcasters among the enemies, but the driver himself is not a fool, and he will not rush forward stupidly in the face of the spell.
After they discovered that they were being attacked by Erina, they began to constantly change the running route of the carriage.
Erina used spells to attack the enemies while neutralizing their attacks on their carriages. At the same time, she observed the dodging habits of each carriage and tried to predict which way the carriage driver would dodge when encountering an attack.
As long as you can correctly judge this point, you can take advantage of the enemy's habits and set a trap.
The best opportunity is when the road conditions become narrow.
Erina dismantled the stone wall that the enemy had released not far in front of their carriage, leaned back against the bunker, panted nervously, and looked around, paying attention to whether there was any danger or whether an enemy was quietly approaching from a distance.
Sure enough.
In the distant mountains and forests, cavalry figures appeared.
These guys on horseback had been chasing before, but they suddenly lost their shadows midway and thought they had given up.
As it turned out, it was not that simple - they quietly took a shortcut and tried to make dumplings from the other side!
Erina noticed this and immediately realized that something was wrong, and she had to remind Nao not to turn east at the next intersection.
Because, in that case, they would be surrounded by cavalry approaching from the flanks.
They will directly flank or even front the carriage. That would be bad.
The two of them will be surrounded, and Erina can no longer concentrate on dealing with the pursuers behind.
In that state, it will soon become impossible to handle all crises at the same time. Sooner or later he will be killed.
"Hey, Nao! Don't face east in front! Run in the opposite direction! Someone is outflanking us!"
"Hey?! Where did Dong come from?!"
"You idiot! It's on the right!"
The moment she finished yelling at Nao, she quickly looked up and found that the enemy had released a large number of elemental creatures flying in the sky.
They looked like crystals of different colors and shapes, surrounded by halos. Each time they flashed, elemental arrows with different attributes were released, shooting directly at her and Nao from a high place.
Erina quickly summoned a bow, took out a shadow talisman, and instantly fired a soul-chasing arrow full of underworld aura towards the sky without even aiming.
The arrow accurately penetrated an elemental creature and triggered a black-purple explosion, which shattered all surrounding elemental creatures.
A large number of shadows, enough to strip away souls, poured out from the aftermath of the explosion and fell towards the pursuing carriage.
Although most of them missed or were blocked, or simply penetrated the car body without causing any damage - two of the shadows still hit a guard each.
One person was injured as a result, his body was paralyzed by the shadow, and he screamed pitifully in pain.
The shadow only immobilized the injured area at first, and then quickly spread to his whole body, making him unable to move and losing his fighting ability.
The other man's head was directly penetrated by the shadow, and his whole body rotted in an instant, turning into an undead shrouded in black shadows with dark eyes. He tore open the neck of the coachman next door and crazily gnawed on the flesh and blood of the deceased, laughing wildly.
As a result, the carriage flipped over and fell off the cliff with flying pieces of flesh and blood.
The guards suddenly fell into a commotion due to this scene, and many people wailed in horror.
Erina knew the power of this move, but she didn't expect the scene to be so cruel, and she almost couldn't help but vomit.
She then calculated the angle again, quickly fired a second bow and arrow into the sky, took out the copying talisman, and quickly used the Arrow Rain Technique, turning it into hundreds of arrows in the air and flying down.
