Above the mage!

Chapter 371 BOSS "First Kill"

In the next hour, due to the existence of the Hunter's Mark, any damage God causes to Aldrich will receive additional damage bonus.

More importantly, it will be easier for Goder to discover Aldridge's whereabouts.

This is very important for combat in water scenarios.

"!" Aldrich sensed the existence of the hunter's mark, his eyes widened with anger, staring at Gode.

However, at this time, Gode had not yet removed the [Disguise +], so he still had the appearance of Hack.

"Show your true colors if you dare!" he shouted angrily, half-seriously.

"As you wish." Gao De smiled slightly and actually responded.

Then, he had an idea and lifted the disguise spell, revealing his true body shape, clothes and even face.

Aldridge subconsciously widened his eyes, trying to see Goder's appearance through the night.

It's now!

Gao De thought to himself, his eyes instantly becoming as sharp as an eagle.

In his sea of ​​spells, a magic model has been activated.

【Flash Technique】!
Flash is just a trick, a functional trick.

But it doesn't mean it won't work against a second-ring mage.

As long as it is used well, even a magic trick can work wonders.

Such as the present moment.

An extreme flash of light burst out and spread in all directions in an instant.

The light was so strong that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Gao De had already closed his eyes in advance.

But Aldridge was unable to react. His eyes were suddenly stung with pain. Tears fell down immediately and he became dizzy.

The light flashed away.

Godd opened his eyes again and looked at Aldridge who subconsciously blocked his eyes with his hands. He tapped his fingertips lightly, and magical fluctuations appeared in the air.

Two beams of energy shot out like electric arcs, flickering with a faint light, and were particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

【Magic Explosion+】!
Although Aldridge, who was in a dazzled state, could not see God's movements clearly, it was not difficult for him to guess that God would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack.

So he took a deep breath and dived underwater without hesitation, trying to dodge just like Goder had done before.

Whether it is the strong resistance of the water or its effect of blocking the line of sight, the underwater world becomes a temporary safe place.

However, the two energy beams of the magic energy explosion did not lose their target because of Aldrich's dodging.

They were like two heat-sensing torpedoes, following Aldridge into the water and finally hitting Aldridge accurately.

The effect of [Magic Explosion +] automatically locking onto the enemy can undoubtedly be very effective in the current situation with extremely low visibility.

laugh! boom!
Two completely different sounds were heard, like two thunders exploding underwater.

This means that two different types of damage are blocked by the shield.

It was clearly just a spell, but in the end it caused two levels of damage of different attributes.

Mana Explosion does not have the spell effect of double damage.

The construction effect of [Winter is Coming].

The force field damage of the magic energy explosion itself and the cold damage caused by the coming of winter, a total of two stages.

"You are a first-ring mage!" Aldrich finally recovered from his dizzy state.

He had no time to think about why Gode's spell could hit him so accurately, but instead he popped his head out of the water and shouted fiercely at the dark water surface.

Aldrich's voice echoed across the sea.

[Magic Explosion] is just a trick, but if it is cast by a second-level mage, with the double level upgrade, its power will definitely not be so weak.

However, it is obviously one level more powerful than the [Magic Explosion] cast by the mage apprentice.

Therefore, Gaode's mage level is obvious, he is definitely a first-ring mage.

However, this discovery made Aldridge feel suspicious.

He never thought that a first-ring mage would dare to challenge him, a second-ring mage, alone.

What kind of anti-Tiangang move is this?

As a Sea Sentinel Mage, you should be able to better understand the suppression of high-level mages over low-level mages.

As his thoughts raced, Aldrich quickly took the time to cast a first-level defensive spell, [Absorb Elements].

With only two attacks, Gaode, a first-ring mage, had his [Shield Spell] shaken.

He realized that Gao De had many tricks up his sleeve and was particularly cunning in the water. If he launched an attack, he might not succeed.

In this case, it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective to seize the time to cast protective spells on yourself.

First, there is no possibility of the spell failing.

The second is a first-level protective spell after the upgrade of the spell. If a first-level wizard wants to break it, even if Gaode stands still and allows him to use his skills, it will still take some effort for Gaode to do so.

This is equivalent to being invincible.

This is the truth, but Aldridge is actually very upset:

As a second-ring mage, it was already embarrassing for him not to be able to quickly crush a first-ring mage, and now he was even in a passive defensive situation.

But this is really a helpless choice.

He was already a second-ring wizard, but because he had only been promoted for half a year, he had not yet mastered second-ring spells.

Generally speaking, a first-level spell, when cast at an upgraded level, is powerful enough to deal with a first-level wizard.

However, the water environment is special, and many spells cannot be used in such situations.

The first to be affected are the fire spells, which are the most destructive spells among the low-level spells, such as [Burning Hands] and [Scorching Slash].

In fact, they are spells with obvious spell trajectories.

The poor vision and the fact that God can hide in the water at any time make it very difficult to hit with spells with tracks.

The more special the environment, the more it tests the depth of the mage's spell library.

And this is exactly the strength of Gaode.

For Aldridge, this is his disadvantage.

A wizard who comes from a low-level gang may have much more combat experience than an academic wizard, but he is definitely far inferior in terms of spell reserves.

Therefore, Aldridge is now in a rather awkward situation with nothing to do.

Of course, he also had another choice, which was to swim towards the shore under the protection of protective spells.

As long as he got ashore, he would have many ways to deal with Gao De.

But the problem is that Aldridge is not sure whether Gold will follow him ashore.

And he had his own reasons for having to capture Goder - if Goder brought the news back to the Sea Sentinel, he would be finished.

"Oh, right, the ship!" As his thoughts raced, Aldridge suddenly thought of the key point.

Let’s get on the boat first. At least we have a place to stand, unlike now when we are soaking in the water with nowhere to exert force.

The boat was covered in [Greasy Magic] by Gao De, making it slippery and difficult to climb. He had already failed once just now.

But this is not a big problem. As a mage, I have many means.

Aldrich's mind moved and he activated the spell model.

It was still [Water Impact], but this time, his target was himself, and he controlled the strength, only providing momentum without causing damage.

As he cast the spell, the sea water began to churn, forming a whirlpool.

The vortex rushed up from the bottom with great force, like a column of water sprayed by a whale, lifting Aldrich high up.

Aldridge adjusted his body slightly in the air, and like an elegant flying bird, he landed in the boat.

Snapped!
But before Aldridge could feel proud, Godard snapped his fingers lightly.

A moment later, flames suddenly broke out on the boat.

The flames spread with a force never seen before.

This is the combination of [Spark Technique] + [Grease Technique+].

Under the ignition of the spark technique, the grease that was originally all over the boat was instantly ignited.

The fire spread instantly, engulfing the boat in a sea of ​​flames and licking every wooden board of the boat.

The wooden boards gradually turned black and deformed under the high temperature of the flames, making crackling sounds.

The boat was on board, but it disappeared in an instant.

Aldridge's face changed slightly. Faced with the raging fire, he had no choice but to jump into the sea.

But as soon as he entered the water, a swift eddy current rushed towards him. The eddy current was like a huge, rapidly rotating funnel, rolling up layers of waves in the sea water.

There was a black shadow in the center of the vortex. Aldrich couldn't see its exact shape in the turbid sea water, but it already made his hair stand on end.

Water beast!

Only then did he realize that there was a water beast in the water!
It was this water beast that capsized their boat in the first place.

But after falling into the sea, the water beast suddenly disappeared. In addition, Gode's offensive was so urgent that in such a fast pace, Aldrich temporarily forgot the existence of the water beast.

The speed of the dumpling is extremely fast.

The water area is at most half of Gaode’s home ground, but for it, it is a real paradise.

A faint blue halo surrounded its body, causing the water to flow towards Aldrich fiercely.

The water flow that was caused was like a raging tsunami, and its momentum was overwhelming. It was almost the same as the spell [Water Impact] that Aldrich had cast to attack Gode earlier.

But he was not as agile and quick-reacting as Goder, and he could not avoid the attack at all.

boom!
The impact of the water flow caused his body to roll around and he could no longer control it. He accidentally inhaled the foul sea water into his mouth and nose.

Before he could feel disgusted, Tuanzi had already bumped into him.

With a bang, the [Shield Technique] finally broke.

Under the impact of the water flow, Aldridge's body had completely lost balance and he could not take care of both ends.

Without a doubt, this is the best fighter ever.

Gaode will not miss it.

When he set the boat on fire, he had already dived into the water, and with the ability to move in water granted by the Touch of the Ocean, he quickly approached the boat.

Now, the distance between Gold and Aldridge was only about ten or twenty feet.

He keenly noticed the shield breaking and attacked directly in the face.

A flash of silver light appeared and shot out from Gaode's ear like a meteor.

It was an extremely thin silver needle.

But actually its name is blade, not needle.

【Frozen Blade+】!
This is the only first-level attack spell that Gaode currently masters, and after integrating the Ice Evil, its power has far exceeded that of a first-level spell.

This is his hidden magic.

Invisible waves spread.

The needle-like icy blade was like lightning, carrying a biting chill, and flew towards Aldrich swiftly.

The cold light flew over and aimed at Aldridge's heart.

Aldrich's pupils suddenly shrank as he watched the icy blade coming at him, filled with fear.

He twisted his body as hard as he could, all the muscles in his body were tense, every muscle was working at its best, fully unleashing its potential.

The effort was not in vain, as the icy blade aimed at his heart eventually missed slightly.

Whoosh.

The icy blade pierced through his body.

Blood splattered and quickly spread in the dark sea water like a blooming dark red flower.

But this is only the beginning.

Aldridge's expression changed again and again.

He only felt continuous stinging pains coming from his body.

The Frozen Blade also has two stages of damage. The first stage is piercing damage with a power of 15 degrees, and the second stage is cold damage with a power of 32 degrees.

With the blessing of Winter's Coming and Hunter's Mark, both stages of damage have an additional 10 degrees of cold damage, turning it into 4 stages of damage.

4 damage stages, can trigger Hunter's Mark four times, causing four additional damages.

One spell, 8 levels of damage!
8 levels of damage, and all of them can benefit from the 37% power bonus of [Winter's Coming].

The total power of this spell is so high that it is not even at the first-ring level, and is enough to make any first-ring wizard far behind.

Severe pain instantly invaded his mind, and Aldridge's face became as hideous as a devil, with a distorted expression.

However, he did not die. It could even be said that he became full of energy because of this intense stimulation.

A mortal body shouldn't be able to withstand the damage of even a magic trick, so how could it withstand such a terrifying spell?
This is because Aldrich had blessed himself with an [Absorption Element] early on.

This spell captures some of the incoming energy, lessening its effects.

As for Gaode's Frozen Blade, except for the first piercing damage which is physical damage, the other seven damages are all elemental damage, and mainly ice elemental damage.

This plays right into Aldridge's strengths.

Compared to first-ring mages, second-ring mages will gain the additional ability of "elemental body".

That is, the magic power in the body radiates to the body. The mage can choose an element and strengthen the body to gain resistance to the corresponding element.

There are also regional differences among mages. Mages in coastal areas must be mostly good at water element spells.

Therefore, when he was promoted to the second-ring elemental body, Aldrich chose the water element without hesitation.

The ice element is a variant of the water element. Although the difference between the two is not small, after the water element becomes flesh, he still has a certain extra resistance to ice element spells.

By absorbing elements and transforming his body into water elements, with the double protection, Aldrich was able to withstand God's powerful spell.

"Die!" Being forced into this situation by a small first-ring mage, Aldrich's blood boiled and he was burning with rage.

He stared at Gao De's figure, whose outline was only vague in the darkness, and a shadow flashed across his eyes.

[Cause Fear], a first-level necromancy spell!

Awakens fear in the hearts of creatures within sight and within range, and the target must make a mental challenge.

If the resistance fails, the target will fall into a state of fear.

How can the confrontation be successful? If a second-ring mage casts this spell on a first-ring mage, there is no possibility for the first-ring mage to successfully counter it.

The result was as he expected.

Gao De seemed to be fixed in place by a spell, and his body began to tremble slightly.

This is a sign of being in fear.

"You're courting death. You're a sea sentinel mage and you're giving up your bright future to fight me to death!" Aldridge gritted his teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

He kicked his legs and, with the help of the buoyancy of the sea water, rushed forward rapidly.

There was already a dagger in his hand.

A layer of blue energy glowed around the dagger.

That is the power from God's [Frozen Blade+].

[Absorb Elements] can not only absorb part of the attack energy, but also store it for use in the next melee attack.

Aldrich held the dagger, filled with anger and murderous intent, and stabbed Goder in the chest without hesitation, even though he was still in a state of fear.

clang!
There was a sound of metal clashing, and the hard touch made Aldridge stunned for a moment.

But he reacted quickly, and in a split second, the dagger had already slashed downwards.
Then, Aldridge's face froze.

He looked down in surprise.

At this moment, Gao De's fingernails became extremely sharp and slender, like a sharp weapon, and pierced directly into his body from his chest.

【Original Savage Strike】.

A golden symbol flashed in Gaode's left eye.

The Demonic Eye of Mandorla, which was opened from the beginning of the battle, helped him build a character model of Aldrich and gain insight into the opponent's weaknesses.

After he fell into a state of fear, Aldrich did not choose to cast protective spells on himself, but chose to attack.

A very reasonable choice.

But what is unreasonable is that the time Gaode was in a state of fear was really too short.

Therefore, the unprotected Aldridge was hit.

Without protective spells, the water elemental body can't provide the slightest protection against [Primal Strike].

"what!!"

Aldridge groaned in pain, his voice full of despair and unwillingness.

The whites of his eyes first became bloodshot.

Then, his eyes went dark and his body fell backwards into the water.

The sea water quickly submerged his figure, leaving only ripples.
