Mage Veigar

Chapter 102 Magic Battle (ask for monthly ticket!)
——"Tricky Style: Sky Lock!"

This is one of the binding magics of the second-level shadow mage.

Although this magic has no offensive power, it has a terrifying ability-limiting effect. It can restrict the actions of mages of a lower level than itself for more than 1 minute, and the restriction time increases with the increase of strength.

Even when facing an enemy of a higher level than oneself, one can still restrain them for about 3 seconds.

of course.

This restriction only limits the opponent's ability to move, and cannot limit the output of magic and mental power.

Even so, it still has a terrifying characteristic - ignoring the mage's shield.

Shadow mages are also known as trickster mages. Their strange tricks often make it difficult for some elemental mages to defend themselves. Fortunately, Shadow mages are not common, and can even be described as extremely rare.

But Vega was "lucky".

He didn't expect that there was a colleague hiding in the room, and this colleague was obviously stronger than him. The chanting sound he made seemed to come from all directions, and there was no trace to be found. Even he himself did not reveal a single hair.

The unknown enemy is the most terrifying.

Based on his understanding of the mages in recent days, Veigar judged that this colleague was not a shadow mage who specialized in shadow magic and dark magic, but a shadow mage who specialized in trickery. No, it would be more appropriate to call him a trickery mage.

The trickery effect is stealth.

As one of the three basic magics of the Shadow Mage.

The stealth effect is several times stronger than the cloak he wears. If it is practiced to the pinnacle, a magician about 3 levels lower than him will hardly be able to detect his breath. This technique, like the shadow technique, is a type of magic that can be maintained for a long time.

Sky Lock is one of the advanced magics of the trickery type, and is level 2.

In other words.

Now this unrevealed mage has a level of at least Level 2 mage, and two magics have been exposed. Although these two magics are not offensive, Veigar does not doubt that the other party has mastered offensive spells.

Vega's face was uncertain.

Bruno on the other side became more and more certain of the authenticity of Vega's identity.

If one was not loyal to the kingdom, it would be impossible for him to be so angry about his betrayal.

He was sure that anything could be faked, but after being locked in a secret room for an afternoon and hearing his words of betrayal, that murderous look in his eyes could never be faked.

Now there is only one last step left.

When people are on the verge of life and death, they will lose their minds and expose everything that should be exposed.

He slowly lowered his raised right hand.

When his right hand was completely lowered, a cold dagger was already placed on Vega's neck.

The cold touch made Vega's face turn pale.

He had no idea when the trickster had come up behind him.

Veigar wanted to raise the Mage Shield to repel the opponent, but he was afraid that this action would anger the opponent because he was not sure whether the speed of the Mage Shield could exceed the opponent's hand speed.

"Damn trickery."

Inwardly, Veigar gnashed his teeth at this damn spell.

If this spell is included in the Imperial Mage section... well, it seems to be of no use to him in his current situation.

all in all.

Vega really doesn't like the feeling of having his life in the hands of others.

If he could get out alive this time, he would have to steal or rob to get enough gold coins to buy the three basic spells of the Shadow Mage.

"Ding~"

Bruno deliberately raised the bottle of red wine high, and then the blood-red wine slowly poured down like thick blood: "Mr. Mage, it is said that this 'Anslar' is like human blood, charming, fragrant, and endless aftertaste. Unfortunately, I am limited by my position and have never drunk human blood. But if it is you..."

A scarlet tongue licked his lips.

The second half of the sentence is self-explanatory.

Nightingale, who had placed the dagger on Vega's neck, understood what he meant. The dagger had already passed through the magic defense and cut through the skin of Vega's neck. A drop of blood from the capillaries dripped down the dagger, and if it went any further, it would cut through Vega's artery. Death...

In approach.

However, no one noticed that the shadow under Vega's feet had disappeared without a trace.

"Mr. Mage, do you have any last words?"

Bruno raised his glass: "If not, then let me taste your blood next."

Having said this, Bruno was about to take a step forward.

But this step is as heavy as a thousand pounds. It's not that I can't lift it, but that I dare not lift it.

A pitch-black dagger, no, it should be said that it was made of shadow and was placed on his neck.

Standing behind him was a shadow so dark that not even light could penetrate it.

"Shadow Mage!"

Nightingale's originally disdainful voice turned into shock.

He knew that Veigar was a mage, and the staff was the best proof, so he directly used the Sky Lock to remove Veigar's staff in order to prevent Veigar from casting spells.

But he didn't expect that Veigar was also a shadow mage.

Nightingale quickly looked towards Vega's neck, and only then did he notice that there was indeed a spellcasting medium hanging around Vega's neck.

Careless.

Nightingale regretted that she had underestimated Vega.

At the same time, their vigilance towards Vega has increased to an unprecedented level.

Because in this life-and-death situation, Vega was able to remain calm and did not cast a spell on him without permission. Instead, he targeted his master Bruno Valen. This has to be said to be a wise choice, because it made him cautious.

If the spell is aimed at him, he at least has several ways to dissolve the shadow spell.

"Mr. Mage, please don't be impulsive."

Bruno raised his hands in panic, fearing that he would lose his head if he took a step that night. "I just wanted to test your identity for safety. I have no intention of betraying the kingdom, nor do I mean to kill you. Why don't we sit down and talk?"

"You think I will believe you?"

Vega's tone was filled with anger, but he was actually laughing inside.

Because in the life-and-death situation, Bruno finally lost his elegance and readily admitted his identity.

The evidence he wanted had already been collected.

The more evidence the better, so he manipulated the shadow to cut the skin on Bruno's neck, causing Bruno to completely panic.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Mage."

Bruno felt the stinging pain in his neck and immediately said, "I can assure you that I have absolutely no intention of betraying the organization. More than a hundred members of my Valen family have all been transferred to the Kingdom of Gaxili City. I, Bruno, will never joke about the lives of my family members."

"You'd better not lie to me."

Vega's tone became hesitant, and he walked down the stairs that Bruno mentioned.

Hearing that Vega's tone was somewhat relaxed, Bruno did not doubt it. He quickly signaled Nightingale to retreat to show his sincerity.

Nightingale snorted and could only obey the order, put down the dagger and retreat.

Vega pretended to hesitate for a few seconds before withdrawing the shadow technique.

When the threat to his life disappeared, Bruno breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly saluted Vega and said, "Mr. Mage, Bruno Valen, the chief of the Kingdom's spy system, the Kareni branch, pays his highest respects to you. Thank you for your hard work."

"Gasiri Branch, codename... 007."

Vega also saluted as a royal salute and began to talk nonsense.
