Mage Veigar

Chapter 671 Rescue
Rushed all the way here.

Vega finally reached the tower.

If you thought that Vega would stand in front of Xia like a hero on a colorful cloud and defeat the monster, you might be disappointed. After arriving at the destination, he did not come out immediately, but retreated to a hidden corner.

First he looked around.

After Vega realized that no one would pay special attention to this corner, he turned his gaze towards the skull dragon.

With just one glance, Vega suddenly had the urge to turn around and run.

When I looked at it from a distance, I didn't feel anything, but when I looked at it up close, I couldn't figure out what was going on with this huge creature.

Look at your own small body, and then look at that monster...

Compared to this, Vega felt that calling himself an ant was definitely a compliment.

With such a big body, it must be inflexible, right?
Vega didn't know that the last person who thought this way, Okasos, had died without leaving any trace, but this did not stop Vega from showing his cowardly character, and he had no intention of breaking the law.

And in the final analysis.

He is a shadow mage.

Although Shadow Mages sometimes need to engage in close combat, that is only when dealing with some Elemental Mages. When facing professionals or melee creatures that are stronger than themselves, Veigar does not think that engaging in close combat with them is the right choice.

The Shadow Mage is known as the king of 1v1.

The reason for this is that they can use melee combat to restrain elemental mages who like to play ranged combat, and they can also play ranged combat with professionals who are several levels higher than themselves. So as a master of shadow manipulation, you lose when you are exposed to the sun.

This meant that Veigar was doomed to be unable to stand out as a hero.

Hiding in a dark corner, Vega is still observing the current situation.

Now we can see that the Dynasty Army has completely collapsed. Even if they defeat the monster in the sky, the troops on the ground cannot win because the Imperial Army and the Holy Dragon Army are several times larger than the Dynasty Army. The most terrifying thing is that they are so powerful.

"The dynasty is finally over."

Instead of feeling any worry, Vega let out a long sigh.

If the dynasty does not perish, how can he step up to take charge of the overall situation and win the hearts of the people?
So from Vega's perspective, he thought it was great that Okathos didn't stop it.

"Hey, where's Ocasos?"

Vega finally realized what was wrong.

Up to now, he had not seen Okasos at all.

Given Okasos's loyalty, it would be impossible for him to escape in such a big battle.

So it can be inferred that Ocasus is dead, and as to at whose hands he died, the result is obvious.

Vega's attention to the monster increased to a new level.

"We can't delay any longer."

Under Vega's gaze, the bone dragon's claws were slapping towards Xia.

If this claw was real, not only Xia, but even he himself who was hiding nearby would be crushed into a meat paste.

So how can we stop and kill this monster and rescue Xia?
Vega's eyes flashed with ferocity. He didn't know that this bone dragon actually had a time limit. He thought that if this monster was not eliminated, it would become his next big enemy. He might even have to waste Isa's magic on this monster.

in a moment.

The light of the spellcasting medium on Veigar's chest flashed.

He began to prepare the most powerful magic he controlled -

Master of Shadow Technique.

This magic can manipulate the enemy's shadow to fight. In addition to being unable to cast magic, the shadow has almost the same professional level and combat skills as the main body. This magic is also known as the nemesis of professionals and one of the most troublesome magics for high-level shadow mages.

This is the magic that Veigar is going to use on the bone dragon.

As for whether this magic is useful or not, Vega himself does not know.

After all, bone dragons are not humans, or even living creatures, so it might be more appropriate to describe them as props.

Can such a prop really control his shadow?
Since the chanting of shadow magic has always been very fast, even to the point of instantaneous casting, the answer is already before us -

The dark mist gradually emanated from the reflection of the dragon's body.

Under the gazes of the crowd, the shadow of the bone dragon that blocked out the sun was slowly peeling off its main body, and then gradually changed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. In the next minute, a being of the same size as the bone dragon flew in the sky above the city wall.

puff!
Vega spat out a mouthful of blood and instantly collapsed.

He didn't expect that controlling the shadow of the bone dragon would drain almost all of his magic power and mental strength. It was obviously not so difficult for him to control the shadow of a holy professional before. At that time, he was only an upper-level shadow mage, but now he is a star-level mage.

This also made Vega feel a little scared.

If he had not been promoted to a star mage, this spell would have been enough to kill him due to the backlash of insufficient magic power and mental strength. This spell also sounded a wake-up call for Vega. Although magic is useful, not everything can be copied randomly.

Just when Vega was in low spirits.

A roar brought Vega back to his senses.

Roar! !

The bone dragon seemed to become even more angry, and he let out a deafening roar.

At this moment, a strong wind blew, and overwhelming pressure swept over. The soldiers who were closer were actually crushed to death by the pressure. It turned out that the Skull Dragon did not use its full strength when fighting against the Holy Mage.

The dragon's might was overwhelming, but its shadow remained motionless.

It was obvious that the magic was very successful and perfectly replicated the power of the bone dragon.

"It's really noisy."

Veigar frowned, and controlled Shadow to give the Bone Dragon a claw: "Be quiet."

boom!
This blow was earth-shattering. The shadow controlled by Vega slapped off a rib of the bone dragon with one claw. The rib flew far away and even killed hundreds of soldiers.

Roar!
The bone dragon was angry, and it slapped the shadow in the face.

Vega wanted to control the shadow to dodge, but he found out that he was wrong. Due to his lack of mental strength, the delay in controlling the shadow was quite high, and he couldn't perform any difficult movements at all, so...

Stab it!

One of Shadow's claws was slapped away.

Because Vega's magic power was insufficient, he had no extra magic power to repair the damaged shadow. This made Vega realize the seriousness of the matter. So he didn't bother to hide in the dark and ambush people, and rushed directly to Xia from the dark.

“V, Vega…”

Xia subconsciously took two steps forward and wanted to hug Vega, but as if she wanted something else, she took two steps back.

Her face was full of tension and uneasiness, like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Vega sighed.

He stepped forward, took Xia's hand and said, "Come on, let's get out of here."

Xia could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, and she smiled an extremely beautiful smile.

But she pulled her hand away from Vega's and stayed where she was.
