Above the mage!

Chapter 411: Advance, advance!
"WTF?!"

The Wild Spirit's obvious and abrupt appearance and movement instantly attracted the attention of other mages on the ship.

"It's my phantom." Since Gao De had thought of using the Soul of the Wilderness to absorb the energy of the wind element, he must have anticipated the situation he would face and prepared an excuse in advance.

Otherwise, with such a conspicuous ghost wandering around on the ship, it is very likely that other highly nervous mages would mistake it for an enemy and kill it.

A phantom is a semi-corporeal spiritual creature summoned and customized through a spell contract.

It can share life energy with the mage, its shape can be customized, and it has the potential to grow. If the phantom is destroyed, its summoning mage will also suffer certain damage and weakness.

In general, the concept of a phantom is somewhat similar to that of a familiar.

But one difference is that a magic pet can be obtained by [Summon Magic Pet].

So as long as you master the spells, everyone can have a magical pet.

However, phantom spirits come from certain specific practices and not everyone can possess them.

Therefore, compared to magical pets, phantoms are much less popular.

The battle was now intense, and since Gaode had given the explanation, the others had no time to think about it and could only focus on the battle.

The wilderness soul, now with a legitimate identity, roams more happily, constantly absorbing the energy of the wind element to strengthen itself.

However, Gaode did not dare to let it go too far away from him. After all, at present, only the wizard on this ship recognized its identity.

If the Wild Soul were allowed to escape from his sight and be mistaken for an enemy and easily destroyed by the mages on other ships, all his efforts would be in vain.

Gao De paid some attention to the Spirit of the Wilderness while looking around and observing carefully.

Compared with other noble mages on the ship, his efficiency in killing enemies without using the north wind was good, but it was definitely far inferior to theirs.

Because the mage level of these noble mages basically starts from the second-ring mage.

It was only because of the sea sentinel mage uniform that Gaode was able to skip levels and board the ship.

But this does not mean that Gaode can only play a supporting role.

Because he possesses the third-level Mandorla Demon Eye, he has a strong ability to restrain lurking ghosts.

The ability of lurking ghosts makes it difficult for second-ring mages to detect them, especially in the heat of battle, when they have no time to observe.

So after a little thought, Gao De realized his best position in this battle: give full play to the insight ability of Mandola's Magic Eye and provide assistance to everyone.

He stood on the deck, his eyes moving around, observing where high-level wind elemental creatures were being killed by the mages on the ship so that the Soul of the Wilderness could absorb these high-level creatures in time, and also observing the lurking ghosts that might be lurking in the air currents and approaching quietly.

The fact is, not only are there, but there are a lot of them.

With just a casual glance, Gao De discovered dozens of subtle energy flows.

They were approaching the warship they were on at an extremely slow speed.

"A lurking ghost has been spotted, bearing 45 degrees to port, distance 80 feet!"

"35 degrees to starboard, 91 feet away!"

"."

He was like a machine gun, spewing out a series of information.

The insight of Mandorla's Magic Eye allows God to perceive subtle energy flows and also gives him extremely accurate judgment.

Therefore, the values ​​and directions he reported at this moment were not estimates, but data comparable to those accurately measured with a ruler and machine.

The previous discovery of the lurking ghost made the mages on the ship more or less trust God's "observation" ability.

After Gaode reported the location, they did not hesitate at all and immediately cast spells to attack the "empty" location pointed out by Gaode.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Under the coverage of the spell, white mist formed by the energy of the wind element bloomed in the empty space.

The chief commander of the ship saw this scene and reacted quickly. He immediately issued an order, "Everyone pay attention to Gao De's report."

"God, in this battle you will be responsible for searching for the location of the lurking ghost and reporting it to other mages in a timely manner!"

"Yes!"*N.

Gao De and the noble wizard on the ship responded at the same time.

Rumble!
In the fierce battlefield, a branch-like lightning suddenly appeared, like a silver snake spitting out its tongue, tearing through the rain curtain and slamming towards the ship where Gaode was.

They could see a huge hurricane spirit, more than ten meters tall, emerging from the rolling clouds at some point and hovering just above the keel of their warship.

Two thunderclouds were jumping in its empty eye sockets, and a thunderstorm was entwined around its body.

The Hurricane Spirit simply waved his arms, which were covered with wind-eroded patterns, and lightning bolts fell one after another. There was no so-called cooling time or casting time at all.

Because for a mage, shaping lightning is a skill.

But for the Hurricane Spirit, shaping lightning is a talent, just like a fish is born with the ability to swim.

These branch-like lightning bolts fell like a blanket, attacking indiscriminately.

"Lord of the Hurricane Spirit!" The chief mage on the ship took a deep breath when he saw this scene.

There are also gaps between the three rings.

There are some particularly powerful "elite monsters" among the third-level hurricane spirits, known as hurricane spirit lords.

The one in front of you is the Hurricane Spirit Lord.

Looking at the branch-like lightning falling from the sky like a dragnet, the chief commander wizard looked solemn and immediately activated the warship's protective magic circle.

Otherwise, with the thunder and lightning striking down from the sky, most of the mages on the ship are at the second level, and there would inevitably be heavy casualties.

A neat octahedral crystal was placed on the mithril disc in the center of the rudder.

Every facet of this crystal is flawless, like a precisely polished gem.

Its appearance presents a translucent silver-blue luster, and the surface is covered with fine spider-web-like golden lines. Occasionally, faint mist-like lines will emerge, which are the traces of the high-compression magic power flowing inside.

This is the Orrick crystal from the Ion family in Linhai City.

The Orek Crystal is the core technology of the Ion family. It compresses the magic power of tons of magic crystals into small crystals and keeps them stable.

The technology required for this is extremely advanced and mysterious, so it is the only one of its kind in the world.

As a magic crystal with four major characteristics: high energy density, safety, longevity and reliability, the price of Orrick crystal is also extremely expensive.

Even if the one in front of you is just the lowest grade Orrik crystal, its price is still terrifyingly high.

At this moment, the Orrick Crystal suddenly lit up, and surging and powerful magic power was released from it like a tide, continuously.

The mithril disc began to rotate instantly under the infusion of magic power.

Along with the sound of gears meshing, strange changes occurred on the warship.

Countless rune lights emerged from the gaps in the oak wood of the warship. They intertwined and entangled with each other, forming a flowing light shield in an instant.

The moment the lightning struck, ripples appeared on the surface of the flowing light shield like water waves, first absorbing all the lightning, and then directing it to the sides of the ship.

There, each of them was equipped with a cannon barrel in the shape of a griffin head, which would spray out dark blue energy beams at the right time, colliding with lightning and creating brilliant fireworks.

Compared to the classic "shield and spear" head-on defense form that Gao De had seen in novels, movies and TV series in his previous life, the force-unloading and force-guiding defense method of the Plantagenet Dynasty warships was obviously more advanced and energy-saving, and had a higher upper limit. However, the energy required to protect the entire warship was extremely large, and even if the extremely high energy density of the Orric crystal was used, the support time was limited.

Therefore, this Hurricane Spirit Lord must be dealt with as soon as possible.

The main gun located at the bow emitted a low roar.

It is rapidly absorbing the magic power from the Orric Crystal to recharge itself.

Golden runes lit up on the barrel, and the magic power from the Orek crystal quickly filled these runes.

Rumble.

Amid the violent roar, Gode felt a terrifying magical wave coming from the barrel that was enough to crush him into powder.

The next moment, a beam of energy as thick as a bucket shot up into the sky and shot towards Hurricane Spirit's chest.

The bright and shining energy beam looked more like a laser than a cannonball, extending continuously from the muzzle of the cannon all the way to the chest of the Hurricane Spirit Lord.

In an instant, the green vortex flowing on the Hurricane Spirit Lord's body suddenly sank.

Violent!
The Hurricane Spirit Lord let out a sharp voice filled with anger, and his eye sockets suddenly turned purple and expanded to three or four times their original size.

Purple-black branch-like lightning was released from it with a rumble, winding and moving rapidly, like branches growing and entwining around the energy beam.

For a moment, energy beams and lightning collided violently in the air, bursting out with dazzling light.

However, the power of the energy beam was extraordinary. When faced with the entanglement of lightning and thunder, it only produced a slight fluctuation at the beginning and then returned to stability.

But the price is that the magic power in the Orrick crystal flows out faster.

The chief commander mage looked up at the scene.

Although the situation was clearly improving, his expression was still extremely serious.

Because of this expedition, although the situation was dangerous, Oakland City did not skimp on supplies, but as a strategic resource, Orrick crystals were not in stock even in Oakland City.

Therefore, the quota of Orrick crystals for each warship is only three.

Once the magic power stored in the three Orrik crystals is completely consumed, both the protective magic circle and the alchemical magic cannon will stop working due to the loss of magic power supply.

Forget about the alchemical cannon, if the protective magic circle cannot function, the possibility of accidents will be too great.

Therefore, at least one Orik crystal must be kept to support the operation of the protective array.

This is a guaranteed minimum.

In other words, at most two Orrick crystals will be used.

With the equipment of the warship, it is not difficult to deal with a third-level wind elemental creature, even if it is an "elite monster".

The key is to conserve the magic reserves of the Orric Crystal as much as possible.

After all, this war has just begun, and no one knows what will happen next or what they will encounter.

Taking this into consideration, the commander-in-chief mage acted decisively.

The magic power in his body surged without reservation. He fixed his eyes slightly, clenched his palms upwards, and a faint blue magic wave flew out from his palms.

Above the huge body of the Hurricane Spirit Lord, cold ice elements began to flow.

In just a moment, the temperature of the original rain dropped suddenly, condensing into tiny ice crystals, and turned into heart-chilling freezing rain that poured down.

In addition, hailstones the size of a baby's fist were generated and fell from the clouds, each of which was packed with biting cold.

Temperatures dropped sharply in areas covered by freezing rain and hail.

As soon as the freezing rain fell on the hurricane spirit, it immediately froze, hindering the flow of air in its body.

Hail cannot cause any substantial damage to the hurricane spirit because it is not made of flesh and blood, but is composed of flowing wind elements, and can be exempted from these physical damages.

But the chill brought by the hail is very effective.

Three-ring conjuration spell, [Snow and Rain Storm].

The Hurricane Spirit Lord is currently in mid-air, with only this beam of energy on his chest in his sunken eye sockets. He is trying to counter this energy beam by releasing more lightning.

Who would have thought that the sudden freezing weather would cause its body to become stiff.

The flow of air is obstructed, which means the flow of body energy is stuck.

It was already at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the energy beam, and was further weakened by this, causing it to collapse completely.

The energy beam kept coming in, aiming to pierce its chest.

As the chest was pierced, the integrity of the entire body was destroyed, and the resistance to freezing became weaker.

The two just overlap.

The Hurricane Spirit Lord let out a terrified roar.

Cracks began to appear on its body, which was formed by strong winds.

Bang!
The familiar sound of gas explosion finally rang out.

The Hurricane Spirit Lord died just like that.

After its death, its body, which was more than ten meters tall, turned into an extremely large ball of wind element energy with green airflow on the surface.

Gao De's eyes turned red in an instant.

Even redder than his eyes was the Soul of the Wilderness. Before Gode could react, it had already floated up and quickly approached the energy ball.

It seemed that because it absorbed a lot of wind element energy, it had undergone some transformation. Gao De could clearly feel that the speed of the Wilderness Spirit was much faster than when it was first summoned.

When the distance between the two reached fifty feet, the Soul of the Wilderness was like a whirlpool, attracting all the wind element energy surrounding the green airflow.

Whoosh whoosh!
Those strands of wind element energy mixed with green airflow, like swimming fish, with the momentum of hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, poured into the body of the Wilderness Soul from different angles and in different postures.

This wind element energy from the Hurricane Spirit Lord, compared with the other wind element energies absorbed before, is like the difference between a hundred-year-old human ginseng and American ginseng. The effects are not at the same level at all.

After absorbing all the wind element energy left by the Hurricane Spirit Lord, the translucent body of the Wilderness Spirit began to be covered with a light green layer.

[Wild Alertness+] The Wild Soul summoned has three stages in total.

The first stage is when the illusory soul becomes a physical entity.

The appearance of this blue layer is the sign of shaping the entity.

This made Gao De look happy.

This battle has obviously just begun and has not even entered the white-hot stage.

At this rate of progress, it is almost certain that this time the Wild Soul will be able to move past the first stage and into the second stage.

Is it even possible to complete the second stage and condense an energy core?

When he thought of this, although it was a little inappropriate, Gao De's heart couldn't help but become hot.
