Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 28: The Mage's Way of War

Aktina gracefully pointed at a huge rock with her left hand. The ring on her middle finger emitted a blue light. An invisible force lifted the huge rock and then threw it in mid-air towards the scroll dragon that fell to the ground.

Nemesis snorted coldly. Having been tricked, he calmly circulated the huge spiritual energy in his body, and the real space was instantly distorted by the spiritual power.

Three-ring teleportation ability [Psychic Jump].

The force field net that bound him tightly fell to the ground, because the target it was supposed to bind appeared ten meters away after a burst of blue light.

Having mastered the teleportation ability, Nemesis's flexibility has been almost maximized. The various teleportation abilities that can be used instantly to escape allow him to be almost invincible as long as he retains his psychic powers.

The Spirit Traveler Warlock, who specializes in teleportation powers, is almost the most difficult to kill among all spellcasters.

"Sure enough, a giant magic-loving dragon!" Actina looked a little unhappy.

As one of the top magical creatures in the world, the blood of the true dragon contains powerful magic. Even if it is not a spellcasting genius like the scroll dragon, when it grows to the ancient dragon stage, it can naturally become a being with legendary power.

Except for the White Dragon.

Therefore, most true dragons will not become wizards and learn spells. This is not only because of their inherent arrogance, but also because studying spells will reduce their sleeping time and thus slow down their growth.

Not all true dragons are like the scroll dragons, who can naturally master the most profound knowledge of spells, so becoming a wizard is a very low cost-effective thing for them. In contrast, they prefer to use their invincible physical strength to crush everything.

Only true dragons who suffer from the mental illness of manaphilia will delve into magic.

Akdina had already suspected the opponent after she used the spell counter. After all, theoretically, a young silver dragon did not have the warlock level. It was not until they reached adolescence that they would gain the spellcasting ability of a first-level warlock.

Now that she saw that he not only mastered the three-ring energy-shaping spell, but also the incantation spell, Akdina was certain.

Nemesis roared to the sky, and all the monsters and dark elves who received the signal rushed towards the sorceress. Zata, who anxiously wanted to turn back to rescue, was entangled by Volenza.

The huge bugbear swung his two swords at a very fast speed, and from time to time he would release the power of [Psychic Blast] to control Zata in place for a few seconds. Although Zata relied on his strong body and strength to prevent Volentha from taking the credit, he could only struggle to support himself and defend against Volentha's attacks.

He is stronger than Volenza, but the bear goblin with the bonus of the wanderer profession is much faster than him, like a fly, retreating when the enemy advances and advancing when the enemy retreats.

Facing the attack of so many monsters, Aktina couldn't help but feel a little scalp-tingling. She kept raising her hands and swinging the boulders with invisible telekinesis to repel the monsters that rushed towards her one by one, but those shadow swords that originally belonged to her were moving at a ghostly speed, and the heavy stones could not hit them at all.

Aktina gritted her teeth. She could not tolerate the consequences of the shadow sword's close combat. No matter how strong the spellcaster was, he would be beaten to death by the warrior's close combat. So she took out another gorgeous scroll emitting strong magic power and tore it into pieces. An evil magic power of death immediately rose into the sky.

The fifth-ring spell of the conjuration system——[Death Cloud]!
A dim yellow-green cloud slowly filled the battlefield, and the fungi and mosses on the ground withered and died the moment they were touched. This was a poisonous cloud of death summoned from another world, and no living creature could survive in it for long.

Nemesis frowned. The drow elites he had just captured had already fallen to their knees in the cloud of death and were coughing continuously.

Small fry can be lost, but these elite troops are not cannon fodder that can be consumed at will.

Second-level energy-shaping spell——【Wind Creation】!
Nemesis raised its dragon head and opened its mouth to spit out a strong wind. The fierce wind blew away all the poisonous gases like a whirlwind, but in just a few seconds, countless monsters in the army were killed and wounded, and only those shadow swords with strong physical fitness were still alive.

"Roar!!!"

Oger, who was not affected by the Death Cloud at all, had already rushed in front of the sorceress. A huge rock smashed into him, but it only made him stagger.

The big wooden club hit Aktina with great force, but an invisible force field appeared a few feet in front of her, faithfully guarding its mistress.

Oger scratched his head in confusion and knocked a few more times in disbelief, but to no avail.

Aktina sneered. Did this idiot really think that he could break the defense of the fifth-ring spell [Force Field Wall] by relying on his strength?

She raised her hand again and pointed, and the invisible telekinesis instantly snatched the stick from Oger's hand and hit its former owner on the head.

Oger fell to the ground dizzy. But Aktina's expression did not improve, because of the bad news.

Her high-level spell slots had been almost exhausted, and the scrolls she carried with her were almost used up.

But the dragon, which was of unknown wizard level, had hardly taken action until now, retaining most of its strength.

Even as proud as she was, she had to admit that she was in great danger.

Nemesis flew into the sky again with a smile on his face. He knew it was time for him to take action.

"La Thunder"

The brief dragon language gathered a large amount of magic power, and lightning with extremely high heat condensed at the fingertips of the Scroll Dragon.

【Lightning beam】!
The roaring lightning shot towards Aktina from top to bottom like the king's judgment.

However, the force field wall she relied on was not high enough to block the attack which reached the speed of light.

"what!!!"

Lightning struck Aktina's head, and the third ring on her left ring finger flashed with dazzling light. Dense runes rose around her body, continuously alleviating the energy damage of the lightning.

Aktina fell to the ground in pain. She touched her cheek with trembling hands, but the stinging and twisted rough skin told her an unfortunate fact.

She was disfigured.

The sorceress screamed miserably, and she looked up at Nemesis in the sky with resentment. She would rather her [Protection from Elemental Damage] ring not be triggered and she died like this, than to become this disgusting.

She took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm: "You can still be saved. As long as you escape from here and use magic to recover from your injuries, there will be hope."

Aktina chanted the spell again, while keeping a close eye on the dragon to prevent it from suddenly attacking and hurting people, but strangely, the dragon did not move, but looked behind her, as if there was something there.

She seemed to realize something and turned her head suddenly, but a colorful cone of energy had already covered her front. The protective elemental energy ring glowed again, but this time, the invisible psychic power could not be blocked by magic.

Aktina, died.

Behind her, Gricket, who had appeared out of nowhere, was standing a few meters away from her body, holding the extinguished afterglow of supernatural power in his hand.

"No!!!! Cough cough" Zata roared in shock and anger, looking at the sorceress's body with heartbreak. Volenza seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the chest with a sword.

Then, he lifted Zata with tremendous strength, threw him more than ten meters away, and hit him hard against a huge rock.

Nemesis flapped his wings gracefully and slowly descended from the sky. Looking at the dying Zata and the dead Aktina, he said with some regret: "Dying like this? What a waste."

At this point, the war ended, and the cunning Scroll Dragon only released a few spells from beginning to end, and did not even use the surprise troops that had been ambushed in advance.

This is the mage's way of war, never go to the battlefield in person. For Nemesis, all he loses are some cannon fodder that will be eliminated sooner or later. But an overconfident fool like Actina will only become a negative example.

　The magicians and warlocks in the spell slot are in such an awkward situation. Therefore, the army is necessary in the continent of Faerun. Everyone has their own duties. Even high-level mages will be consumed by cannon fodder and all the magic items they carry with them in the spell slot. On the contrary, melee professionals have stronger endurance and endurance.

　　Before the legend, quality was easily balanced by quantity
　　In addition, why dragons have to sleep to increase their strength.

　　This is because the lifespan of a dragon is limited. Even for a normal dragon, the probability of it growing into an ancient dragon before dying of old age is not high, not to mention those whose sleeping time is distracted by various trivial matters.

　　Therefore, studying arcane is not cost-effective for dragons, as they may die of old age before reaching the legendary level.
