Mage Veigar

Chapter 266 Let the tiger return to the mountain
Intermediate magic weapon!
Vega gnashed his teeth. He didn't expect that the other party actually possessed a mid-level magic weapon.

If you want to bring out the strength of a lower-level professional, you must use mid-level magic weapons. General low-level magic weapons will collapse instantly because they cannot withstand the magic power of lower-level professionals. This is why there is not much difference between lower-level professionals and apprentice professionals.

That’s right, lower-level professionals are not scary, they are just extremely scary.

But you can rest assured that no one can manufacture mid-level magic weapons. Only one or two can be found occasionally in ancient ruins. The lower-level professionals who hold low-level magic weapons can only have slightly better durability than apprentice professionals at best.

In short, mid-level combat skills and mid-level magic weapons restrict the combat effectiveness of professionals above the lower level.

Originally, Vega believed that he possessed mid-level combat skills and could be invincible even without using magic, but now it seems that is not the case.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

Others may not be able to learn intermediate combat skills in a short period of time, but they have intermediate magic weapons that are more practical than intermediate combat skills. Therefore, without using magic, they are probably not the opponent if they only rely on incomplete combat skills.

But at this moment, Calderon, who had defeated Vega with one move, jumped off the airship.

Vega did not show any surprise. In a head-on battle, he was indeed no match for the combination of lower-level professionals and mid-level magic weapons. Their terrifying attack power had already exceeded the blessing of the combat skill Behemoth Power, but don't forget that he was still a shadow mage.

Calderon is an experienced hunter of Shadow Mages.

Of course he knew that it was almost impossible to kill a shadow mage in an open field, especially in the dark. Not to mention that he was alone now, even a full squadron of professionals would not be his match.

Therefore, he did not naively think that he could defeat Vega, but chose to run away as soon as possible.

However, Calderon was too clever for his own good. He didn't know that Vega's magic power was already exhausted. Not to mention the life-saving magic like Shadow Transformation, even the Mage's Shield was not enough. If he had gambled and pursued the victory, Vega would probably have died here.

When Calderon disappeared, Vega also breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his right hand which was still dripping with blood and smiled bitterly. It was true that a proud army will be defeated. The pride that he had mocked the imperial soldiers a few days ago had seeped into their bones. It was because he underestimated the other party that he almost died here.

Putting aside the mid-level magic weapons, it is an indisputable fact that he was trapped in a single room.

Vega began to adjust his mindset, and first focused on the distribution of mana in battle.

As the magician's level increased, he found that his magic power was becoming less and less. Not to mention the big oil-consuming magic like Huaying, the magic power consumption was also not ambiguous when the power of other magics increased. Therefore, it was urgent to find a new bottle of awakening potion and upgrade to a lower-level professional to increase the magic limit.

Secondly——

Vega looked at the dagger that had broken into two pieces and felt that he needed to change his weapon.

----

the next day.

In Xielantu City, a hotel offering accommodation.

Calderon was standing at attention, sweating profusely, in front of a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was not only wearing black and a cloak, but also a simple mask. He looked quite majestic. He was Dandry Grimm, the acting commander of the Seventh Army's Independent Heavy Brigade.

"It looks like a failure?"

"Please forgive me, Commander. Please give me another chance..."

Dandali raised his hand and said, "I don't want to hear any more words. Tell me again what happened during your fight, especially the strength of that brat and the number of guards around him."

"Yes, Brigadier General."

Calderon quickly recounted what had happened in detail, not daring to leave out anything.

“God is really helping me, hahaha.” Dandali laughed heartily: “He’s about the strength of a level 3 shadow mage, and there’s only an ordinary guard by his side. As expected, children are children after all. A little brat like this wants to grab a position from me, so it’s no wonder that I’m ruthless.”

There was a captivating gleam in his eyes.

Of course, it is impossible for Dandali to let Vega reach Elkia City safely. He endured for five whole years and finally got rid of the title of "deputy" and changed it to "acting" last year. Now, on the verge of being promoted from acting to full-time, the higher-ups want to parachute in a brigade commander?
He would never admit to this matter no matter what.

Dandari, who was already blinded by anger, just wanted Vega to die.

"Number 1, are you sure?"

Calderon was stunned by Dandari's sudden words. He subconsciously looked to the right corner and saw a dark shadow appear there. He knew that this was the highest commander of the Shadow Mage Team - No. 1.

"The intelligence is very detailed, 9% certain."

"Very good, since the information is very detailed, let's hurry up."

"I understand."

As No. 1 finished his words, he disappeared and then stabbed Calderon in the heart.

"Why……"

Calderon uttered three words with difficulty and then lost his breath.

"What's the point of keeping a tool for probing intelligence after using it?"

As if it was an ant that died, Dandari said to No. 1 as if nothing had happened: "It takes about a week to travel by land from Shelantu to Elkia. If I find him setting foot on Elkia's land by then, you'll have to take care of yourself."

"Yes, Brigade Commander." No. 1 bent very low.

No one understands Shadowmages better than Shadowmages.

As a level 5 shadow mage, he thought he could easily defeat Veigar even in a one-on-one fight.

Why are you so confident?

Because, the combination of a level 5 shadow mage and a lower-level professional gives him a slight edge in both magic power and mental strength.

Assuming that two people release a trick spell at the same time, and are unable to detect each other at the same time, whoever runs out of magic power first and reveals himself first will naturally lose. The only thing that needs to be done is to set a trap that prevents the opponent from escaping.

And this time he's not the only one.

If a team of 10 mages goes out together, they can even take down the head of the Lord of Xielantu City without anyone noticing.

As for the squadron of professionals that Vega destroyed alone?
No. 1 did not take it seriously. Although that squadron of professionals had indeed become a force capable of hunting down Shadow Mages under Calderon's training, professionals were still professionals after all. They just had some luck.

Number 1 has made up his mind.

He would formulate a detailed plan based on the information he got from Calderon to completely stop Vega on the way to Elkia City.

However, at this time, Vega was indeed retained.

As soon as the airship landed, he was surrounded by the law enforcement team. As for the reason, does it count as destroying public property?
