Mage Veigar

Chapter 477 Shadow Kill
retreat.

Or maybe you can face the challenge head-on!

This is a completely non-choice question.

A is the first letter of the 26-letter Imperial language alphabet, and 1 represents supremacy in the common language of the continent.

The group that uses A and 1 as their code names carries all the glory of the Imperial Judgment. The strong have the dignity of being the strong. As a true elite team, why would they retreat without even trying?

They are members of the A1 team!
Stopping in the face of difficulties and becoming timid when faced with a powerful enemy are behaviors only mediocre people would do.

The elites are not afraid of difficulties. The reason why they are called elites is that they have the courage to despise everything. In their eyes, even the supreme emperor is a dead soul under their swords.

Here and now, there are only two choices.

Or, take down the target and return home in glory.

Or, die here and turn into ashes.

There is no other third option.

No. 1 took a deep breath, and a terrible aura spread.

He was muttering something, as if casting some kind of magic. Veigar's keen sense of war made him sense a hint of extremely dangerous aura, so he tightened the Doran's Blade in his hand and took a defensive stance.

need to know.

After his strength has been greatly improved, there are not many things that can make Vega feel dangerous. Recently, the only person who made Vega feel the danger was Old Scimitar.

But this time, Vega felt a chill again.

Just like wild animals are naturally sensitive to dangerous auras, this cold feeling meant that the masked man in front of him, whose age could not be determined, had the ability to kill him, so Vega had to be extremely vigilant against the enemy.

And it turned out that Vega's premonition was not wrong.

When the last syllable of No. 1 fell, a magic called "Shadow Technique·Shadow Kill!" was activated. This magic was a mid-level shadow magic, so it was destined to be rare, or even unique.

Therefore, Vega did not understand what effect this magic had.

He only saw the mysterious man in front of him casting a spell and then coming straight towards him with a mid-level magic weapon.

His speed was extremely fast, even twice as fast as Vega's Hurricane.

This speed is not something that ordinary mid-level combat skills can achieve. After a brief fight, Vega guessed that the opponent's professional level should not be higher than his. So it can be easily seen that the reason for this speed is either because of the magic just now, or the mid-level magic weapon in the opponent's hand is exerting its power.

Vega did not panic.

First of all, his defense in the mid-level combat skill "Hardened Skin" is very strong. The enemy only has speed but does not have the attack power to match it. Vega's defense is enough to withstand several rounds of direct attacks.

Secondly, although the enemy is fast, it is not completely undefendable.

As long as they make good predictions, they can resist the enemy's offensive to a certain extent, and the longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it is for Vega, because the number of enemies is limited after all. Although Vega's guards have been suppressed temporarily, Vega's support is on the way.

If nothing else, this actually works.

But as mentioned before, a magician of this level, especially a shadow mage known for his weirdness, would have a few trump cards in his hand. Veigar had several means to save his life, and No. 1, as the leader of the A team, was obviously no exception.

He stabbed Vega with his sword.

The speed of this sword is very fast. It is obviously impossible to defend after the opponent stabs out. It is difficult for Vega to keep up with the opponent's rhythm with his speed. However, no matter how fast he is, it is difficult to be faster than Vega's "Predict the Future"!
One thing you need to know in particular is that "predicting the future" is neither magic nor a combat skill.

This is a kind of combat thinking that Vega derived from commanding a war. It is also the method he used to defeat Carol in the water city of Nila with the weak. Its real name is - induced attack.

The so-called induced attack is to expose one's own flaws and attract the enemy to attack.

As long as your computing power is strong enough, you will have foreseen the outcome before the enemy even moves a step. Any speed will pale in comparison to this magical method, so it is not an exaggeration to call induced attack "predicting the future."

Naturally, Vega dodged the sword.

He seemed to have foreseen the destination of the attack. He easily dodged the attack by turning his body to the side and prepared to counterattack.

There was a glimmer of surprise in No. 1's eyes.

With the help of the intermediate magic weapon in his hand, he was very clear about how fast he was. It was impossible for ordinary people to dodge his speed. This was indeed one of his trump cards, but this trump card did not seem to work on Vega.

Vega dodged the attack, which was why he looked surprised.

But as the wording literally means, he was just a little surprised, and he had a backup plan for this attack, which was a magic that he had cast earlier - Shadow Style: Shadow Kill.

boom!
No. 1's attack missed, but it did hit Vega's shadow reflected on the wall, and then a strange scene happened. Vega felt his heart tighten for no reason, and 1/5 of his magic power and mental strength instantly turned into nothingness.

hiss--

Vega took a deep breath. It was clear what the disappearance of 1/5 of his magic power and mental strength meant. He had been killed directly in that instant.

He clearly dodged that attack.

His body was not injured at all, but he was hit and turned into a shadow? Where in the world could such a fantasy happen? Vega instinctively stepped back a few steps, with deep fear in his eyes.

Humans are naturally afraid of the unknown, and Vega is no exception.

Fortunately, Vega was always on the verge of life and death, so he did not panic. Instead, he forced himself to calm down and recalled every detail of the previous attack. Finally, he locked onto the shadow.

Could it be...

Veigar was shocked by his guess and instinctively wanted to reject it, but thinking that the Shadow Mage was an extremely mysterious and strange existence, he used Shadow Transformation again to forcibly verify his guess.

Finally, Vega came to the conclusion—

Attacks directed at his shadow will be 100% reflected on his body and ignore his defensive skills.

This discovery made Vega's forehead covered with cold sweat, because the enemy's speed was already fast, and it took Vega's brainpower just to dodge the enemy's attack, not to mention that he had to protect the shadow while dodging the attack.

Use shadow techniques to directly use shadows in combat?

Vega had thought of this method, but the shadow summoned by the Shadow Technique was only as powerful as his original body, and could only attack and defend instinctively, and did not have the ability to "induce attack". Given the enemy's speed and offensive power, the shadow summoned by the Shadow Technique would probably become a sitting duck.

What to do now?
A feeling of frustration arose spontaneously. An old machete and a number 1 made him deeply feel what it meant to be a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. The Imperial Trial System was indeed a real elite concentration camp.

What’s even worse now is that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. As the saying goes, Cao Cao has really arrived.

As the guard team was distracted by Team A1, Vega was distracted by Team 1. Old Scimitar took advantage of this gap to capture Shia and Celis, putting Vega in a completely passive position.
