Chapter 133: One vs. Three
Richard silently sensed it and felt three powerful auras waiting for him in front.
Of course, what is said here is not weak, because compared to ordinary second-level wizard apprentices, the three auras are beyond the ordinary category and have reached the upper level. One of them has reached the peak of the second-level wizard apprentice.
Compared with the aura revealed by Richard after using Rodrigo's meditation method to concentrate his breath, the aura was almost the same.
Three people of this level came to intercept him, which also made Richard quite confused. He recalled carefully that he had just returned to the school not long ago, and he had been following Seles recently, mainly studying and researching pharmacy. What to do to make enemies everywhere.
"Hey, he is indeed the former chief freshman of the Ignis School. He is indeed extraordinary in strength. He can actually detect our aura in advance." Three men in black robes were seen walking out of the bushes, looking sure to be convinced. The look of inspection.
The person who spoke was the man in black robes in the middle, the one whose aura reached the peak of the second-level apprenticeship that Richard sensed.
The three of them were all wearing hoods, and the low-hanging brim of their hats covered most of their faces, making it difficult to see their specific faces. However, through his own breath perception, Richard was very sure that he did not recognize them, and had never even seen the three of them before. people.
"If you kneel down and beg for mercy, you will suffer less." The short black-robed man on the far right added.
This made Richard instantly question his face, how confident the other party was that he dared to say such things in front of him.
And judging from what the man in black robes in the middle said, the words "Freshman Chief" have already shown that the other party is undoubtedly encircling him, and there is absolutely no case of finding the wrong person.
In this case, there is no need to waste words with them.
When Richard took the first step, he had a dark element shield on his body. He waved the Bone Summoning Staff and pointed towards the ground. In less than a second, three people appeared in the huge reverse pentagram array on the ground. Skeleton Archer.
Immediately, the opponent began to dodge the arrows shot by the skeleton archer in a hurry while quickly performing defensive witchcraft.
"Instant witchcraft? No, it's silent!" The man in the middle opposite said in surprise.
Experts can tell whether there is something wrong as soon as they make a move. Richard's move immediately let the three people know that he seemed to have seriously underestimated Richard's strength, because the skill of silent witchcraft requires a very high level of witchcraft control.
Generally speaking, only those who have reached at least a master-level control level can master the silent spell. Many third-level wizard apprentices have not mastered this skill.
In addition, Richard performed these two witchcraft too fast. Lucius Redman, the man in black robe in the middle, was not mediocre and had keen observation. He had already noticed that Richard summoned the skeleton and it took a long time to cast the zero-level witchcraft. Less than a second, which is terrifying.
This shows that the other party's level of control over the zero-level witchcraft of summoning skeletons has surpassed the master level and reached the grandmaster level.
The other two men in black robes also had a glimpse of the fact that Richard summoned three skeleton archers, and knew that this mission was absolutely difficult.
"How could Richard be so strong!" Lucius' face under the hood was quite angry!
"Summon your contracted creature quickly, otherwise, we will definitely not be able to resist it." The short black-robed man whispered.
The man in black robes in the middle instantly emitted a black light, which was the dark element shield. However, Richard noticed the black light flashing from the short wooden staff in the other person's hand. It must have been that the short staff solidified the dark element shield. Instantly cast defensive magic.
The short black-robed man summoned a walking corpse and immediately hid behind it.
The last tall man in black robes flashed the green whirlwind on his body, and his movement speed began to surge, barely dodging the arrow attack.
At this time, the three of them had begun to feel regret in their hearts. Richard's strength was unpredictable. He was not like an ordinary second-level wizard apprentice at all. He seemed to be more troublesome than an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice.
What was originally thought to be an easy task has turned into a life and death battle!
A sharp bone flute sounded.
At this time, Richard felt a fierce aura that was at least stronger than the three of them, and he quickly approached here from the swamp area on the side.
Richard smiled slightly, things finally became a little more interesting and no longer boring. To be honest, the three second-level wizard apprentices still didn't interest him much.
However, now there is finally an opponent who can still be seen.
Suddenly, a huge snake head poked out of the swamp. Its long neck was at least seven or eight meters long. Then it revealed a wide and flat body, and a pair of long and wide fleshy fins were clearly visible.
The upper and lower jaws of its mouth are relatively protruding, and its prismatic fangs are extremely sharp.
The first time Richard saw the other person, he recognized what kind of creature it was. It was a swamp plesiosaur. Its combat power was equivalent to that of a third-level wizard apprentice.
Feeling the call of his contract partner, the Swamp Plesiosaur rushed over quickly. Its original ambush location was more than a hundred meters behind.
But as soon as the Swamp Plesiosaur arrived, it felt that the person it had to deal with this time was not an easy one. As a creature with far sharper senses than humans, it could feel the volcanic energy lurking in Richard's body. There is also a vague sense of natural threat.
If the plesiosaur knew that the person opposite had killed hundreds or thousands of monsters like it, it would know that its perception was really sharp.
Originally, it wanted to carefully sense the enemy before attacking, but due to the urging of the contract partner, it had no choice but to attack immediately.
Because it felt the huge threat from Richard, as soon as the game started, it used its natural witchcraft - surge.
I saw the swamp plesiosaur spread its more than ten-meter-long fleshy fins, vibrating at high speed, "Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the mud and turbid black water on the surface of the swamp were like waves, rising high and layer upon layer. The ground rushed towards Richard and his three skeleton archers.
The mud and turbid water are like huge waves, making a roaring sound like a tsunami.
As the seven or eight meters high silt hit Richard like a mudslide, Richard looked calm and waved his hand. He saw a large hand of dark elements with a diameter of nearly three meters. He immediately appeared out of thin air and slashed with his palm. There were huge waves of mudslides and rocks flowing one after another, but they went straight towards the swamp plesiosaur.
Richard's body was still shining with the light of bones, which was why he had put on the skeleton armor.
Then Richard put a pair of skeleton armor on each of the three skeleton archers, and ordered the three to continue fighting the three black-robed men.
The lion still needs to fight the rabbit with all his strength, which is a kind of caution.
Richard pulled out the knight's sword with his right hand, followed closely behind the big shadow hand, and charged straight at the plesiosaur, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him at an extremely fast speed.
Richard, who is already a senior knight, is now faster than the third prince William who was known for his speed half a year ago.
When the swamp plesiosaur saw that the surge was broken by the opponent's dark element hand, it was a little frustrated, but when it saw that Richard dared to rush over, it looked happy because it had another innate ability - Hundred Crashes. It just needs to be close. I saw the Swamp Plesiosaur raising its long neck back, and in an instant, it used its pointed jaws to stab dozens of times like lightning.
Every time it hits the ground, mud will splash out, forming a pit several feet deep, which shows how powerful the attack is.
On the other hand, Richard's figure was like a butterfly walking through a flower, dodging the lightning-like sharp jaw strikes of the plesiosaur. The few that could not be dodged were resisted with the skeleton armor.
The hardness of the skeleton armor was beyond the swamp plesiosaur's expectations. A hard blow with its sharp jaws could only break the bone spurs on the surface, but it was dizzy from the shock. Richard looked at it, this
was good chance.
I saw Richard leaping high, aiming at the long neck of the plesiosaur, and struck it down with a heavy sword, accompanied by high-speed concussion skills.
In an instant, like a hot knife cutting through butter, it cut through the hard scales, extremely tough muscles and bones of the neck, and the plesiosaur's slender neck broke with a snap!
The incision was as smooth as a mirror. In the next second, blood several meters high shot out from the incision like a bloody fountain, pouring Richard under the white armor like a bloody god of death!
As for the second-level peak wizard apprentice who signed a soul contract with the plesiosaur, Lucius Redman, as the plesiosaur died, he immediately let out a scream and fell to the ground, almost fighting with the plesiosaur. The plesiosaurs died simultaneously.
After taking a look, Richard finally understood why a swamp plesiosaur whose strength was one level above it would be willing to obey the instructions of someone with lower strength. It turned out that the two parties had signed a soul contract.
Signing a soul contract means that if one of the parties to the contract dies, both parties will die.
But one big advantage of signing this contract is that for the wizard apprentice, through this contract, he can sign contracted creatures that are much stronger than himself. In other words, once the soul contract is successfully signed, it is equivalent to having an additional powerful fighter. Beloved, his strength instantly increased.
Therefore, in the wizarding world where strength is paramount, many wizard apprentices will choose this shortcut.
As for the blood oath contract, there is no such problem. The death of the creature in the blood oath contract will not have much impact on the wizard apprentice.
However, the blood oath contract also has three major disadvantages. First, when the contract is signed at the beginning, the strength of the contracted creature is lower than that of the wizard apprentice.
In addition, regular feeding of essence and blood is required.
The last point is that if the strength of the contracted creature slowly exceeds that of the wizard apprentice, the blood essence it requires will greatly increase. As a result, one day the wizard apprentice will be unable to provide it, and the result is that the contracted creature will defect.
What Richard signed was a blood oath contract, but he was confident that the speed of his strength improvement would stabilize the Soul-Eating Demon Spider.
At this time, the sight of Richard easily killing the swamp plesiosaur, which was comparable to a third-level wizard apprentice, made the other two men in black robes feel like they were dead.
The will to fight was lost in an instant.
This is probably what it means to capture the thief first.
"Richard, stop! I request to use the noble principle of redemption in gold to redeem my life! As long as you sign a contract with me, I am willing to pay a price of one thousand magic stones." The short black-robed man shouted quickly .
"Me too, me too, I also want to redeem my life! I know the location of the ruins of an ancient wizard. As long as you sign a contract with me, I will tell you immediately." The tall man in black robe saw his teammates surrendering and surrendered. Not to be outdone, he shouted immediately.
Richard smiled slightly. Just when the two of them thought that Richard was going to agree, they saw the skeleton archer swishing two arrows, which directly hit their throats, killing them on the spot.
At this time, the messenger corpse bird in the hand of the short man in black robe slipped from his limp hand. It seemed that he did not expect that Richard would kill him without a single hesitation, causing him to not even have time to release the messenger bird. nothing.
A delicate sheepskin scroll slipped from the fingers of another tall black-robed man's right hand, which seemed to contain some powerful witchcraft. However, the counterattack plan obviously failed, and it would take time to release the scroll.
"Does Richard not care at all why he was ambushed?"
Both of them had strong unwillingness in their eyes, and they couldn't understand. Under normal circumstances, don't they have to ask a few questions before killing him?
What Richard did was simply unreasonable!
At this time, the Soul-Eating Demon Spider quickly crawled out from Richard's arms. The current Soul-Eating Demon Spider was getting smaller and smaller, only the size of an ordinary person's palm, but its color had changed.
From the original white body, it gradually turned to crystal color. At present, more than half of its body has completed this change.
It is said that when the color of the Soul-eating Demon Spider's body changes to crystal color, it means that it has entered the mature stage.
The soul-eating spider is now devouring his soul, and there is no need for Richard to use the spiritual manifestation technique anymore.
One stream after another, four streams of extremely fine but extremely pure ownerless spiritual power were fed back from the Soul-Eating Demon Spider and merged into Richard's spiritual sea, but the most important thing was the one mixed in it. A trace of pure soul energy.
Suddenly, he felt a numbing sensation on his scalp, one after another, making Richard feel ecstatic in an instant!
Since returning to the school's residence, Richard has not experienced this feeling for a long time.
From this point of view, Richard hopes that the more wizard apprentices who come to hunt him down, the better. As long as the official wizards don't take action, he is currently not afraid of anyone.
When the soul-eating spider crawled into the bodies of three second-level wizard apprentices and searched the memory fragments of the three, Richard discovered that he seemed to have underestimated the cooperative association and other forces.
Although these three second-level wizard apprentices are all from the Ring of North, they quickly locked in on Richard through the otherworldly version of the "Fellow Fellows Association" - the cooperative association of the Ignis School.
This time, they had received a reward worth five hundred magic stones, so they attacked themselves.
As for the client of the mission, the memory of the black-robed man who signed a soul contract with the Swamp Plesiosaur showed that he was a third-level wizard apprentice from the Ring of North named Joachim Follihuis.
But Richard frowned, and he was sure that he definitely didn't know this Joakim, and the only time he had any interaction with the Ring of North was when he killed the red-haired girl Jenna and the three of them.
It seems that 80% of the time he was targeted because of this incident.
However, half a year has passed since this incident, and you are still staring at him? Is it possible that this third-level wizard apprentice named Joachim Freehus is the boyfriend of the red-haired girl Jenna?
If that's the case, it would make sense.
