Mage Veigar

Chapter 289 Shadow Explosion
The day after the blocking battle ended.

According to the intelligence obtained by the reconnaissance team, the enemy has returned to Tali City and is defending the city to the death. It is obvious that they have even given up the plan to support Saye City, which also made Vega breathe a sigh of relief.

Because his troops suffered heavy losses in yesterday's battle.

With his current force of about 8000, it is difficult to stop an entire enemy division for 10 days. But now that the enemy is holding their ground, it means that his blocking mission has been completed. Now he just needs to stay comfortably in the canyon and wait for news from the front line.

"I didn't expect that this Ingrid would be so frightened."

It was not until now that Vega clearly realized how much psychological trauma he had caused to England.

Being able to scare the enemy who had the advantage into retreating and refusing to come out with just one encounter, this time can be boasted for a whole year, right? Thinking of this, Vega showed a self-deprecating and funny smile.

"War is so interesting."

After sighing, Vega turned his head to his adjutant and said, "Lieutenant, how far has the reorganization of the brigade progressed?"

"Report to the General."

Adjutant Yi Luo put down his pen and stood up to report: "The basic organization work has been completed. Deputy Brigade Commander Dandri's former subordinates have been assigned to some empty positions without command authority. Our people have all taken over their positions."

Vega nodded.

Although the heavy loss of soldiers saddened him, he was able to dismiss Dandeli and take command of the entire army, which did not seem to be too much of a loss.

Moreover, this battle increased his magician level progress, which had been stagnant for 3 months, by 10%, and he also gained 7 skill points, so he could directly learn Shadow Explosion, which was the first group attack magic in his life.

Taking out the rune page he had prepared, Vega began to learn Shadow Style: Shadow Explosion.

Level 3 Magic Shadow Explosion is no different from an intermediate combat skill. He only needs to consume one skill point to learn it. With his 7 skill points, he will still have 6 points left after learning Shadow Explosion, which is enough for him to learn 2 intermediate skills next time.

About 6 hours passed.

When Veigar absorbed the last rune, he opened his deep eyes.

Now that I think about it, from the basic trickery and shadow spells to the current shadow transformation and shadow explosion, he has mastered 8 or 9 magic and intermediate combat skills. In this era when most professionals and magicians only master 2-3 magic and combat skills, Veigar can be considered a standout. And the more magic and combat skills he has, the more difficult it is to defend against.

Whether it was a one-on-one fight or a group fight, Veigar was finally a little relieved about his safety.

But it's just a slight relief.

The rich will not dislike their increasing wealth, the superiors will not dislike their increasing power, and Veigar will not think that this is the end of his life. Facing the attack of the elemental mages, he is still doomed to die.

In summary.

Veigar has to fight more wars to feed his increasingly insatiable "supernatural power" in order to gain a huge amount of magic power, mental power, and skill points, and arm himself to the point where he is truly fearless of team battles and single combat.

"If we continue like this, maybe we can really see the glory of ancient magic."

Vega once read a biographical novel about an ancient magic civilization in the library of the imperial capital. The magic described in the book, such as one person destroying a city, covering the sky with one hand, resurrecting the dead, summoning dragons, etc., fascinated him.

Although biographical novels are not credible, after all, the training of magic and combat skills is so difficult that there is only one star magician every few thousand years, and that star magician can only fight against an entire division at most. However, Vega, who possesses extraordinary evil power, believes this particularly. He believes that just because no one can do it now does not mean that it does not exist.

If it really doesn't exist, then let him create this history.

Vega was full of ambition. No man... boy could resist the supreme power and absolute invincible strength, and he was no exception. Walk out of the room.

Vega went to the open space to experiment with the new magic Shadow Explosion. As for the target of the experiment, it was, of course, a row of trees in the distance.

Although the casting speed of low-level magic at levels 1-5 is generally very fast, the casting speed of Shadow Explosion is not that good. It is probably only slightly faster than that of Elemental Mage, and Shadow Explosion needs to be released on the basis of Shadow Spell.

"Shadow Technique."

A shadow took shape and it rushed into the woods like a gust of wind.

"Shadow Technique: Shadow Explosion."

The shadow that was moving quickly suddenly stopped, and after about 0.5-1 second, it exploded completely, and a huge noise echoed.

boom--

The explosion raised dust, and only dead branches and leaves were left of the trees within an area of ​​more than 150 square meters. In terms of power, it was slightly smaller than a flame explosion, roughly equivalent to the power of a 2-kilogram TNT explosion, and an ordinary two-story house could be basically completely destroyed.

As for the consumption of magic power and mental power, it is not too much.

If he didn't use other magic, Vega felt that he could cast it 20 times without any problem. If a regiment-level force without professionals and magicians stood there for him to explode, it would probably only take a few minutes.

But this is ultimately an ideal state.

In a real war, it is of course impossible for the enemies to gather in one place for you to blow up, not to mention that their elemental mages have stronger firepower than you. It's just that the shadow explosion plus the shadow spell, which is an unpredictable magic, greatly enhances the assassination ability of the shadow mage.

Imagine.

If a shadow mage who has mastered Trickery, Shadow, and Shadow Explosion lurks near the enemy's headquarters and uses his shadow as a human bomb to rush into the headquarters, this headquarters will probably be burned to death in a second.

Of course, Shadow Explosion is not without its shortcomings.

If the 0.5-1 second of stillness is attacked by a professional or a magician, it will be directly dispersed, causing the shadow explosion to fail. At the same time, this one second is enough for the professional and the magician to avoid the source of the explosion.

However, Veigar was quite satisfied with this skill.

After experimenting with the power of Shadow Explosion, he had nothing to do and started to live a lazy life for the next few days.

Now all he had to do was wait for news of Garru and the Kingdom's defeat. It would be best if these two armies and their commanders were game over on the front line. Then he could write a letter to tell the commander-in-chief that the reinforcements were gone, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd divisions and the Holy Dynasty's royal family and royal legions were beyond saving.

When he gets this news, I believe the commander-in-chief will order him to withdraw to the empire.

But on the tenth day of the war, Vega received a shocking piece of news.

"Lieutenant, repeat that to me."

“General, this is the fifth time!”

Adjutant Iroh continued to repeat helplessly: "You did not hear wrongly. Thanks to the Dynasty Army's fearless fighting style, the reinforcements from Ed City have been blocked in the city. Division Commander Garru has already captured Shaye City and welcomed back the Dynasty Royal Family, the Royal Legion, and our 1st and 2nd Divisions. Unfortunately, the 3rd Division has been completely wiped out."

"..."

Veigar really wanted to know what happened on the front line. Could it be that Garru was the hidden genius commander?
