Mage Veigar

Chapter 52: First Encounter with the Mage
A black cloak.

Embroidered on the back of the cloak is the emblem of the United Kingdom, the golden lion.

This is a person holding a strange cane. His face is always covered with a mysterious mist and his face cannot be seen clearly, so it is impossible to estimate his approximate age.

From the golden lion emblem, it can be seen that this person is an enemy, not a friend.

Vega held a cross sword in his hand and took a defensive stance.

He has been extremely vigilant and he is not naive enough to think that the other party is an ordinary person.

You know, with his strength, he didn't even notice when the other party was standing behind him. If the other party had attacked him directly before, I'm afraid he would have been beheaded by now.

"Who are you?"

It’s better to lose the battle than the fight, Vega asked in a resounding voice.

"Who am I?"

A young voice came, and from the voice it could be judged that it was a young man: "I am the one who takes your life."

The words fell.

The mysterious young man didn't waste any words. The cane in his hand flashed green light, and he seemed to utter a strange syllable, and then an invisible wind blade flew directly towards Vega.

The alarm bell is mastering.

Although the wind blade could not be seen by the naked eye, the unknown power in his brain made him feel that an invisible attack was coming towards him. If he did not handle it well, he would be beheaded in a second.

Mage's Shield.

The power follows the heart, and the unknown power carries the magic power through the body and blocks the trajectory of the wind blade.

boom.

Like a grenade explosion, the wind blade smashed the wizard's shield to pieces, and the residual power of the wind blade blew Vega four or five meters away. The cross sword that was blocking his chest was broken into two pieces.

hiss.

Vega took a breath.

Not only was the invincible translucent shield shattered, but he even had to use the magic-infused cross sword to barely defend against the attack. If he didn't have a magic defense, he would have been seriously injured by the previous attack.

Who is this person?

The huge impact force made Vega's right hand tremble. He didn't even have the strength to draw out the dagger. He realized that he was facing an unprecedented crisis. Now it was not a question of whether to fight or not, but how to escape from the opponent.

"Hey, Mage's Shield?"

At this time, the mysterious young man made a surprised voice: "Are you a magician? When did the empire become so extravagant that it would send a magician to guard any small pass?"

Magician?
Vega was stunned. Could it be that the magician the other party was talking about was him?

"wrong."

The mysterious young man denied it again: "It is impossible for a magician's shield to not be able to defend against a small wind blade. It seems that you have awakened your spiritual power not long ago and have not yet become a true magician."

Vega didn't say anything.

He would not be foolish enough to expose his information to the enemy.

From the other party's words and the advanced knowledge of professionals he saw in the library, he roughly guessed some of his own situation.

The real scientific name of the unknown power is probably "mental power".

Awakening mental power can advance one from a professional to a magician. A magician has the ability to use the magic power in his body to attack from a distance. Judging from the opponent's attack method, he is probably already a real magician.

Can a professional defeat a magician?
Just as an ordinary person cannot defeat a professional, a professional cannot defeat a magician either. The attack just now has fully proved this point. For the sake of his life, Vega realized that he should retreat.

Turn around and retreat.

Vega unleashed all of his magic power and rushed down the mountain like a gust of wind.

After running for a distance, Vega turned around and looked behind him. He was shocked to find that the other party did not catch up with him, but stood there and watched him run away. This made him sincerely relieved.

Although I don't understand the other party's intentions.

Since the other party didn't catch up, Vega couldn't help but feel extremely lucky. It seemed that his life was saved...

The idea just came to my mind.

He couldn't help but stop and saw a scene that frightened him. The mysterious young man was standing 20 meters in front of him.

I was clearly 400 meters ahead of him, so when did I get ahead of him?
Vega had never seen anything so strange before, and he was forced to stop because he found that the opponent's cane was emitting green light again, which was obviously a precursor to an attack.

"All right."

The mysterious young man said with a disdainful tone: "The cat and mouse game ends here. I was originally ordered to hunt some professionals, but I didn't expect to catch a quasi-mage. It's really the blessing of the gods. I will probably get a lot of military merit when I go back this time. Little ghost, goodbye then."

shhhhh--

A strange syllable was heard, and three transparent wind blades whistled over, blocking all of Vega's escape routes. Moreover, the wind blades were extremely fast, and even if Vega wanted to dodge them, he was powerless.

Can only resist.

The mage's shield is raised.

boom.

Although the two wind blades missed, one of them shattered the mage's shield.

The wizard's shield was broken, and the wind blade continued to attack Vega's body. However, his right hand was still paralyzed, and he couldn't pick up the dagger to defend himself. In the end, the wind blade hit his magic defense.

boom.

The roar echoed all around, and Vega flew backwards and was buried in the snow.

The blood dyed the white snow red, and it was unknown whether Vega was alive or dead.

The mysterious young man put away his staff and said, "A mage who can't do magic is only slightly stronger than a professional. You are lucky to be able to withstand the first attack as a quasi-mage."

Although he was confident that Vega was dead, the mysterious young man did not leave immediately.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

In order to personally confirm that Vega was dead, he began to walk forward. If you look carefully, you will find that although he is walking on the snow, his footprints are completely invisible, as if he has no weight at all.

Just wave your hand in the air.

The snow piled on Vega was swept away.

What came into view was the body of a young child, who was lying face down. Although there were no scars on his back, the surrounding snow had been stained red, and it was obvious that he had suffered damage on the front.

The mysterious young man squatted down.

Since his mental strength was not enough to lift heavy objects, he could only turn Vega over by himself to check the situation.

Turn over.

He saw Vega's crazy gambler's eyes.

Although Vega was seriously injured, he did not die.

Despite being seriously injured, the mage's shield and magic defense were still able to withstand a wind blade.

Vega drew out the short sword with his left hand and launched an attack at this moment.

If there is no way to retreat, then you can only fight with the determination to die.

boom.

The dagger attacked the opponent's mage shield.

To Vega's surprise, the opponent's mage shield did not even have a crack. Instead, his short sword flew out due to the reaction force, and he was left unarmed.

“The struggle of an ant.”

The mysterious young man easily distanced himself, raising his staff to attack again.

"Is that the end?"

Vega smiled bitterly.

It seems that sometimes the determination to die alone is not enough, and without the corresponding strength it will only make people laugh.

at this time.

The mysterious young man did not use the wind blade to kill Vega again. Instead, he turned around and ran away as if he had encountered a ferocious beast. He was as fast as a gust of wind and disappeared from Vega's sight in a blink of an eye.
