Mage Veigar

Chapter 265 Rampage
Calderon is the captain of this squadron.

He had received an order more than 10 days ago to assassinate Brigadier General Vega, who was about to take charge of the Imperial Seventh Army. The reward that lured him to accept the order was a full regimental-level position that he would never be able to achieve in his lifetime.

Opportunities and risks coexist.

He originally thought that this mission would be quite difficult.

But what he didn't expect was that the target person seemed to be just a child. Although the information showed that it was a child and a shadow mage, they were a well-trained and well-coordinated team of professionals, and it was easy for them to capture a shadow mage.

As for the guards around the target person?
Calderon didn't think that an ordinary person could cause any trouble. With his strength as a lower-level professional, he could beat a hundred ordinary people like this one.

The mission went very smoothly.

He found out through special channels that the target person would board Flight No. 9 from the imperial capital to Xielantu City on September 11, so he led his troops to board the airship easily. The people in the airship law enforcement team didn't even dare to check his ticket.

After boarding the airship, it only took him one day to figure out how to hunt an invisible prey.

That is to force the prey into a dead corner where it is inconvenient to move, leaving it with nowhere to escape. They even prepared white and lime powder, which they would sprinkle in the corner when the time comes. Unless the opponent is a ghost in mythology or legend, it would reveal its true form on the spot.

This was not the first time they had hunted Shadow Mages.

In Calderon's opinion, killing a shadow mage is much easier than killing an elemental mage, because a shadow mage without group attack magic is just a stronger professional who only has a mage shield and various weird buffs.

How can such a magician defeat a squadron of professionals if he is not given room to perform?
The single room on the airship is a natural trap. They don't even need to send several professionals to act as bait to lure prey into the trap they set as in the past.

But the operation was not entirely without difficulties.

After all, the other party was an imperial brigadier general. The death of a general on imperial territory was enough for the imperial military to order a thorough investigation. So after killing Vega, how to escape safely and how to ensure that he would not be caught by the imperial military investigation team after escaping the scene became a problem that needed to be overcome.

Therefore, Calderon did not choose to optimize the offensive plan, but instead put enough effort into the retreat plan.

First of all, the attack was to be launched 12 hours before the airship landed, and drugs were used to knock out the law enforcement team members on the flight before the attack. Those law enforcement team professionals who had magic power and were immune to drugs were killed directly to ensure that no one would interfere during the implementation of the plan. At the same time, after the plan was completed, the flight would almost land, and they would have enough time to leave the scene.

So they put on military uniforms on purpose.

The purpose is to refuse to be questioned and detained by ground law enforcement forces after landing and leave the scene as soon as possible.

As long as you leave the scene, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.

For this series of plans, Calderon even took into account that the effectiveness of the drug would expire exactly one hour after the airship landed. It can be said that this series of plans is foolproof. As for the face that was once exposed, there is no need to worry, as the current appearance is just a disguise of magic props.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Now he only needs to wait for the magic power or mental power of his prey to be exhausted, then he can kill the opponent directly, and then easily carry out the next retreat plan. He has even begun to fantasize about the day when he will become a full regimental-level officer.

But at this moment, a loud noise was heard.

boom--

A terrifying gust of air swept through the corridor, which made Calderon, who happened to be standing in the corridor, feel very frustrated.

"Damn it, what happened?"

Calderon cursed and pushed through the crowd, vaguely seeing a few figures through the chaotic scene.

Who are these figures?
Calderon took a look and found that those figures were all his men, but he did not see the target of this mission. What was going on? Could it be that the prey had broken through the blockade?

Calderon had been through many battles, especially against Shadow Mages, so when he found something wrong, he subconsciously threw a handful of white lime powder forward.

"Cough cough cough-"

After a series of coughs, Vega, whose face was covered in lime powder, retreated violently.

He didn't expect that this squadron of professionals was so capable that they could react in the first moment to break through the blockade. He had already activated the Trickery Style, and the stealth effect of the Trickery Style could not ignore volume collision. Once touched by the lime powder, it was inevitable that his body would be exposed.

But even if he was exposed, Vega didn't care.

To be honest, Wei was just startled by the super buff of the giant beast's power. He punched the enemy's abdomen. Although it was not as exaggerated as the butler Fok's fist that directly penetrated the body, it did shatter the enemy's internal organs, and due to the huge inertia, it directly sent the opponent flying backwards and broke the blockade. This terrible power...

That’s right, Veigar now has the urge to tear down the city gate with his bare hands.

However, there is no city gate to tear down here, so Vega decides to perform a bare-handed tearing trick on a professional.

Most importantly, Vega discovered that the power of the behemoth was very mana-efficient. With the current mana, it could probably last for 20 minutes, and there were less than 20 enemies left, so killing one per minute was enough.

The killing begins.

Veigar was holding a mage's shield, not caring about any moves or not, he was like a humanoid self-propelled armored vehicle, rushing forward, killing one if he came, and killing a pair if two came.

As for the enemy's combined attack defense technique?

Vega gave up using his fists and picked up a dagger. With one strike, he cut the opponent in half, including the sword and the body. This made any combined attack defense technique a joke.

This is a long time.

Vega was killing a lot of people, and the enemy's morale naturally dropped to the freezing point. At this moment, no one came forward to continue challenging Vega, and the messy corridor fell into silence.

"Don't panic, he probably doesn't have much magic left."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Calderon roared to boost morale, and then the professionals burst out with courage again and rushed towards Vega, but Calderon quietly retreated when no one was paying attention and started to sell out his teammates.

Originally, Vega was just testing the strength and consumption of the Behemoth's power, but when he saw that Calderon was trying to escape, he did not hesitate and used his second intermediate combat skill - Hurricane Speed.

slam-la-

Vega only felt his body lighten, and he actually moved dozens of meters with one step. This speed was incomparable to the usual speed amplified by magic power. It was probably more than 10 times faster, and this was a defective version of the hurricane speed.

The power of a behemoth plus the speed of a hurricane.

Vega completely transformed into a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex. Although his magic power consumption was twice as fast, his killing speed was more than three times faster. Therefore, in just a few minutes, Vega cleared all enemies except Calderon and chased after Calderon.

Chase to the deck.

Vega discovered that Calderon had put on a parachute pack and seemed ready to jump directly from the airship.

Since the airship is about to arrive at the city of Shelantu, it began to descend early, so it is indeed possible to land safely at this altitude using a parachute, but Vega will not give him this opportunity.

Take a step forward and the wind blows under your feet.

Calderon's eyes blurred, and he saw Vega floating by like a phantom, and instantly appeared in front of him from dozens of meters away.

"Don't underestimate me, kid!"

Calderon drew out a cross sword that was emitting a chill. His eyes did not emit a desperate look. His tone was full of confidence: "I have killed so many shadow mages that I can't even count them myself. A mere level 3 shadow, humph!"

boom--

Vega's knife, which was blessed with the power of a giant beast, collided with Calderon's sword. The teeth-grinding sound of iron clashing seemed to tear even the air apart, and a huge air wave turned into a strong wind that swept in all directions.

3 seconds later.

Vega retreated 5 steps and Calderon retreated 1 step.

click-

At the same time, cracks appeared on Vega's dagger, and then it broke in the middle. Blood was already seeping from the base of his right hand.

"Intermediate magic weapon."

The sound of Vega's gnashing teeth echoed.
