Mage Veigar

Chapter 218 Life hangs on a thread

Ordinary guards, professionals, and magicians.

About 50 people have surrounded the door. If Vega wants to escape from here, he must break through the encirclement. However, leaving aside the ordinary people in the encirclement, there are 8 single-professionals and 4 magicians.

Among them, there are three elemental mages and one word spirit mage.

In this situation, a forced breakthrough is impossible because of the existence of some Word Wizards. Vega has no ability to avoid the magic of the Elemental Mages.

But he didn't panic.

Vega held the dagger in his hand and pointed it at Moore Albarn: "Order them to lay down their weapons and evacuate the room, otherwise you will lose your life."

Moore Albarn did not follow Vega's instructions and he was even more desperate than Vega. However, Vega did not have time to explore the reason for Moore's despair. He slashed with his backhand, and after the little finger, the ring finger fell to the ground.

"what!"

This time Moore couldn't help but let out a pig-slaughtering scream.

He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he roared angrily at Vega: "It's useless. Today, neither you nor I will get out alive. No one here will listen to my orders."

"What do you mean?"

Vega didn't understand what Moore meant, and he also didn't understand why he looked so afraid of death a few minutes ago, but now he looked like he was ready to die with him. Is he really not afraid of death?
What happened next cleared up Vega's doubts.

A magician stood up and said, "According to Chapter 11 of the organization's emergency regulations, management above the level of regional director will automatically lose management authority if it falls into the hands of the enemy. Lower-level organization members should immediately take over the authority and deal with it urgently according to the actual situation."

"I declare now."

The magician said to Moore, "The former branch director, Moore Albarn, has been found to have met the criteria set out in Chapter 11 of the Emergency Regulations and has now lost all management authority. I will be the temporary successor. Do you understand, colleagues?"

"clear."

After speaking in unison, the magician gave the order: "Word magicians, lock onto the enemy's movement trajectory, and elemental magicians, immediately launch an attack. We must not let the enemy go. This is related to the survival of all members of our Immortal City branch."

The elements are stirring, and magic is about to take shape.

Even Vega did not expect that the United Kingdom's intelligence organization would be so cold. Once the commander fell into the hands of the enemy, he would automatically lose his command. This was simply a direct death sentence.

Just when Vega was about to break out, something even more unexpected happened.

Those fireballs and wind blades did not fly towards him, but first flew towards the former branch chief Moore Albarn, who was just an ordinary person. The magician who gave the orders was afraid that Moore would not die, so he even fired two more wind blades.

How ironic.

As soon as he lost power, the first person his subordinates wanted to get rid of was not him, the enemy, but Moore, their own man.

However, Vega took advantage of this interval to move.

He rushed towards the leading fire magician without hesitation, because the Word Spirit Mage was hiding at the end of the team and he could not attack him, so he could only attack the elemental mage first.

Veigar did not use Trickery.

Because using the Trickery Style in front of the Word Wizard would be a sheer waste of magic power and mental energy, the only thing worth using right now was probably the Shadow Style, so he activated the Shadow Style without hesitation.

The professionals blocked Vega's way.

But the shadow under his feet turned into a human figure and instantly broke through the professional's defense line.

Hand up and down!
boom--

Although Veigar seized the opportunity when the opponent was casting spells and used Shadow Magic to break through the professional's defense, the Shadow Mage exposed to the sunlight could no longer be called a mage. At best, he was an awkward existence between a professional and a mage.

So Shadow's dagger hit the wizard's shield.

In this breakout, in addition to relying on his own Mage Shield to kill two professionals and enhance a little mental strength, Vega did not cause any damage to the enemy's magicians. The consequence of not being able to cause damage is...

boom--

Fireballs, wind blades, ground spikes... and a series of other magic spells hit his body like crazy.

The wind fanned the flames, and the flames instantly engulfed the entire room. When everyone evacuated the room, the right half of the entire house surrounding the room had collapsed. There was no doubt that Vega, who was trapped in the room, could not escape.

If it were an ordinary person...

No, it should be said that even for an earth mage who is good at defense, facing such intensive magic attacks and the flooding of buildings, the chance of survival is no more than one percent, let alone a shadow mage?
Although the collapsed buildings, the huge fire, and the thick smoke made it impossible to see the situation ahead clearly, everyone naturally believed that the outcome was settled.

Just when everyone let down their guard, an extremely fast figure broke out from the smoke and dust.

"Everyone alert, he is still alive!"

The foresighted Word Spirit Mage noticed something was wrong at the first moment, but it was obviously too late.

Veigar's dagger hit the shield of the nearest wind mage, but a shadow quietly formed behind the opponent and ended his life in just a moment.

After completing the attack, Vega immediately fled to the right.

The target he chose to kill was a wind mage known for his speed. Killing this wind mage would mean that it would be difficult for the enemy to catch up with him while he was casting magic, but he would also be exposed to the enemy's magic within the first hundred meters, with almost no chance of dodging.

in short.

Vega must create a distance of one hundred meters before his Shadow Transformation times run out and he is blocked by professionals from the intelligence organization. If he cannot create a distance of more than one hundred meters before his Shadow Transformation times run out, he will die here.

How many critical hits can you be immune to?
The previous two times had already consumed 2/5 of his magic power. Coupled with the frequent use of Trickery and Shadow Magic in the middle, Vega's magic power was only enough to withstand one round of magic before it would be completely exhausted.

How often does the magic happen?

Even for a novice elemental mage, it only takes less than 3 seconds to release a round of magic. After becoming proficient, it is not difficult to reach 2 seconds. Therefore, Veigar must escape 4 meters within 100 seconds.

Moreover, being 100 meters away only reduces the accuracy of magic, and does not mean absolute safety.

It is no exaggeration to say that this situation is life-threatening.

Therefore, when Vega ran only 40 meters, the magic had already taken shape.

Boom boom boom——

Vega, who was unable to escape the Word Mage's lock, could only endure this round of magic. As a result, the last 1/5 of his magic power and mental power were exhausted, and the remaining magic power and mental power in his body was less than 1/20.

Not daring to be stingy with the remaining magic power, Vega continued to use magic power to accelerate.

After hurrying up and down, Vega finally rushed out 100 meters before the second round of magic exploded. The excited Vega thought with some pride that if this speed were put on Earth, any world record would be nothing.

But too much joy brings sorrow.

Although he escaped over a hundred meters away and the enemy's magic could not hit him accurately, a fireball hit him next to him. The residual force of the explosion knocked him several meters away. Due to insufficient magic power, he could not even activate the mage's shield. In the end, he could only use the remaining magic power to activate the professional's magic defense.

Although there were some twists and turns, Vega still escaped.

The reason he was able to escape this time, apart from the fact that there were not many enemy magicians, was largely due to the shadow magic. If he had not learned this magic, he would have died no less than three times.

Even with the magic of shadow transformation, his life was still hanging by a thread.

This made Vega feel more and more threatened. He glanced at the Alban Manor in the distance and had already placed the promotion to a lower-level professional higher than the status he was seeking. If he could use the intermediate combat skills today, he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.
