Mage Veigar

Chapter 457: The Form of Nothingness
The cordon was broken.

However, the Word Spirit Mage reported that there was no sign of any intrusion by the Shadow Mage.

This was hard for Vega to accept.

Because the cordon cannot be broken for no reason, there is only one way to break the cordon, that is, humans cross the cordon without knowing it. Other mosquitoes cannot cause this effect.

"Someone must have come in."

Vega said firmly: "Seal the doors and windows of Qilisi's room, as well as this corridor. You are not allowed to leave until the assassin is caught. If Qilisi loses even a hair, you will all be buried with her."

slam-la-

Everyone became alert again, and sweat was already oozing out of Master Yanling's forehead.

No one would question the determination in Vega's words. If they had not protected Silis, this time they might really lose their heads. No one wanted to experience death in advance because of such a thing.

After giving instructions to everyone, Vega frowned.

Now a human wall has been formed at both ends of the corridor and the door of Qi Lisi's room. He also told Qi Lisi in the room not to open the door. In this case, if there is an assassin, he must still be trapped in the corridor and has not left. What needs to be done now is to find a way to make this person who is proficient in hiding show his true form.

Well known.

The Word Mage is the nemesis of the Shadow Mage.

In this world where the levels are not much different, even a low-level Word Spirit Mage can detect the traces of Shadow Mages who are five levels higher than himself, which almost includes lower, middle, and upper-level Shadow Mages.

of course.

Star magicians are transcendent beings and are not included in this.

Although Veigar did not believe that in such a huge continent like Galan, only the Holy Dynasty had a missing Star Elemental Mage, but Veigar also absolutely did not believe that the assassin who sneaked in here had reached the rank of a Star Shadow Mage.

If you really have this ability, why would you spend more than ten days testing it?

As a Star Shadow Mage, he could completely ignore the power of low-level Word Spirits and kill him and Silis with one strike. There was no need to go through so much trouble to sneak in.

It can be concluded from this.

This assassin must be a shadow mage who has mastered special magic. This special magic may be able to imitate the concealment ability of the star shadow mage and avoid the detection methods of ordinary word spirit mages.

After all, the world is so big and full of wonders.

He even possesses BUG magic like Shadow Transformation, so why can't others collect one or two rare magics?

You have a plan, but I have a way to get over the wall. Since the Word Mage cannot find the Shadow Mage, Veigar has planned to use other methods to expose the assassin's true form.

"Sergeant, go get some bags of lime powder."

"Yes, Commander."

The soldiers left and came quickly, and soon they had taken several bags of lime powder.

Vega used his sword to pick up the lime powder and looked at the aisle with a sneer on his face. This aisle has been blocked and the assassin is trapped. So, if he just uses lime powder to cover the entire aisle, wouldn't it be possible to expose the assassin's true form?

As a shadow mage, Veigar certainly knows shadow mages best.

The shadow mage's trick can only conceal breath, sound, and body, but it cannot make the body disappear into nothingness. It seems that the assassin's magic is nothing more than an enhanced version of the trick, so this method is effective.

Plus the space here is narrow.

The effect of this technique can be maximized.

Therefore, under Vega's command, a group of soldiers began to sprinkle lime powder until the entire corridor, including the walls and ceiling, were dyed snow-white, but there was still no trace of the assassin.

This left the dusty Vega dumbfounded.

At this moment, he even began to doubt that there were no assassins in the corridor at all, and that he was just being suspicious. Vega began to waver in his judgment.

----

One side of the aisle.

Holt Machete's eyes were fixed on Vega.

He had indeed miscalculated.

As a hunter with enough patience, he did not expect that the prey was more patient than him and set such a huge trap for him. He felt very regretful for neglecting the warning line.

Fortunately, he is a real hunter.

As a hunter, in addition to having enough patience and caution, you must also have strength that matches or even exceeds that of your prey, so that you can ensure your own safety and win every battle.

in short.

Old Scimitar believed that a qualified hunter must be able to play tactics and fight head-on, so the moment he fell into the trap, he launched a mid-level lower-level shadow magic that he was proud of -

Trickery: Shadow of Nothingness.

This Shadow of Nothingness originated from ancient times. It was obtained by chance when Old Scimitar was young and fighting in the desert. It is similar to the basic skill of the Shadow Mage, 'Trickery Style', but it is many times more powerful than 'Trickery Style'.

literal meaning.

The so-called Shadow of Nothingness means that the body can truly become nothingness, ignoring any intensity of physical and magical attacks. With the mental strength of the Old Scimitar's lower-level magician and the magic power of the lower-level professionals, this form can be maintained for up to 5 hours.

The characteristics of the Void Shadow are similar to the Shadow that Veigar possesses.

However, the former needs to be actively activated, while the latter is a passive magic. Even if you are attacked in your sleep, the Shadow will be automatically activated, but the Shadow of Nothingness obviously cannot do this.

Of course, the Shadow of Nothingness also has a fatal flaw.

That is, it is impossible to pass through obstacles, and it is impossible to attack the enemy while activating the Shadow of Nothingness. If you want to attack the enemy, you must withdraw the Shadow of Nothingness.

But that's enough.

The Shadow of Nothingness can deceive the lower-level magic of the Word Mage. This magic can directly allow the Shadow Mage to ignore the threats of the low-level Word Mage and completely reverse the situation of being restrained.

However, Old Scimitar did not dare to remove the Shadow of Nothingness now.

Although he did not take these guards seriously and was confident that he could kill Vega by surprise, he could not guarantee whether Vega had the means to deal with it. He would not rashly reveal his true identity before finding out the detailed information of the prey. He had time to drag it out slowly with Vega.

The longer it drags on, the better it is for him.

However, Old Scimitar realized that Vega obviously didn't want to let him go easily, so he took out several large bags of lime powder.

Seeing this scene, Old Machete was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

How much did they underestimate him to think that he was the same as the shadow mage outside? They could use such a despicable method to reveal his true form. It turned out that this prey was not as scary as they had imagined.

So the next scene is just as we saw before.

Vega and his companions were in a state of disgrace and even entered a stage of self-doubt, while Old Machete remained calm and composed.

Old Scimitar narrowed his eyes. Vega's funny look made his facial muscles move. Watching the prey being smart was the most interesting thing for Old Scimitar. He also always regarded this as the only pleasure in the trial.

But Old Machete soon stopped laughing.

Because Vega took out a metal prop that was emitting red light and as gorgeous as red crystal from somewhere. He put it gently on the ground, and after a special sound effect, magic power overflowed...
