Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 5 Combat and Mind Control

Second-ring conjuration spell——[Spider Web]!
A ball of white thread appeared in front of the man in black robe, and before he could even show any shock, it turned into countless sticky white threads that tied him up tightly.

"Real dragon!!"

The effect of [Invisibility] disappeared as the spell was cast. The barbarian looked at the white dragon in the sky with greed and fear, and a low roar came from his mouth.

Nemesis had no time to mock the gnoll's ridiculous delusion. He saw the man in black robe struggling to raise his fingers slightly and began to chant a spell.

But Juan Ce Long didn't intend to give him a chance.

Dragon language is the language of magic. In fact, most human spells are formed by poorly imitating dragon language. As the ancestor of spells, casting spells in dragon language is more than three times faster than normal human chanting of spells.

The black-robed man had not even finished chanting half of his long spell when his brief dragon language had already formed the next spell.

Second-ring incantation spell - [Cloud of Daggers].

Two blade-shaped scarlet clouds appeared on both sides of the man and kept approaching. A layer of light film shining with silver light suddenly appeared, blocking the clouds. It was the [Shield Technique].

But the effect of a first-level spell is limited after all. In just two seconds, the sharp scarlet cloud cut through the shield.

The man in black robe could only swallow the spell that had not yet been released. He struggled with all his might and finally broke free from the spider web. However, because he used too much force, his left hand accidentally raised reached into the cloud.

"Puch!"

"what!!!"

The man's left hand was immediately cut off along the wrist, and the entire left hand was cut into scattered pieces of flesh in the mist. He screamed and fell backwards to the ground, but luckily he avoided two approaching mists.

He immediately took out a healing bandage and quickly wrapped it around his wrist. The massive blood loss made him feel dizzy.

But the next moment, before he had time to rest, another spell was ready.

Second-ring conjuration spell——[Malf’s Acid Arrow]!
Looking at the green liquid falling from the sky, a pungent smell filled the air. The man in black robe shouted with anger and fear:
"Gnolls! I command you to protect me!!"

A black ring on the middle finger of the man's right hand emitted a faint light, and one of the gnolls pounced on the man uncontrollably and stood in front of him.

"Zizzi"

The liquid hit the Jackal's chest, and its horrible corrosiveness caused his breastplate to quickly disintegrate. As the Jackal screamed, the flesh and blood on his chest was carbonized by the strong acid and turned into black rotten meat.

But the Jackal was indeed a cruel and bloody monster. Even so, the severely injured Jackal immediately used its sharp claws to tear the corroded breastplate into pieces, and then dug out the rotten tissue.

The amazing thing is that even such a serious wound showed signs of slight movement immediately, it was healing!
Nemesis couldn't help but feel amazed. The werewolves didn't have such a strong recovery ability. This could only be the effect of magic.

He looked at the ring on the black-robed man's right hand. A powerful magical power was emerging from it, controlling the bodies of these werewolves.

Nemesis smiled disdainfully. Control? No one can compare to the Mind Gem!

The illusory fleshy crown reappeared above the head, and the yellow gem that no one could see emitted a dazzling light.

The dragon stared at the five gnoll warriors with its devilish yellow pupils. Its mind power broke into their minds like a burglar, taking away the control of the black-robed man. The control ability of the mind gem was unparalleled, but Nemesis could only control beings not higher than his level, so the strong and brutal fifth-level barbarian and the sixth-level red-robed wizard were not among them.

But even so, it was enough to surprise the man in black robe.

Feeling the link of control being violently erased by some force, he took a few steps back in shock and looked at the five gnolls who were lowering their heads.

The barbarian soldier still cursed loudly with a threatening tone: "You damned bastards, move!"

But no response.

Five burly gnoll warriors, with taut muscles and yellow light in their eyes, moved in unison, as if they were five bodies of the same person. They were controlled by the power of the mind, and the self-awareness deep in their souls had been suppressed, leaving only the instinct to execute orders.

"Human, let me see what other tricks you have." Nemesis put on a relaxed smile and looked at the outlaws in front of him who were trying to raid his nest.

The man in black robe took a deep breath and lifted his hood. In an instant, the black robe turned bright red. His bald head was covered with black tattoos, and even his face, which was originally shrouded in shadows, was covered with tattoos.

The red-robed wizard looked at Nemesis and said coldly, "A young scroll dragon is really rare. I have only seen it in my mentor's books."

"You have already cast three second-level spells. How much mana do you have left? When I kill you, I will enjoy your dragon blood."

"Barbarians!" the red-robed wizard ordered grimly, "Hold these five gnolls while I deal with the dragon. If you dare to slack off, I will peel off your skin!"

When the barbarian heard the order, there was reluctance and malice in his eyes, but his body involuntarily raised the long sword and rushed towards his men.

In the moonlight, his body leaped among the shadows of the trees like a ghost and instantly rushed in front of the werewolf.

The five jackals reacted immediately. One of them picked up a long knife and blocked his chest, but the barbarian's powerful force knocked him and the knife away several meters.

Several other gnolls surrounded him, but the barbarian was not afraid.

The long sword in the leader's hand flashed with cold light, and every swing brought a gust of wind. His confrontation with the five warriors was like a wild dance, and every time the swords touched, sparks flew.

Although the gnoll warriors moved swiftly, they were unable to gain the upper hand in front of the leader's almost violent swordsmanship. Every attack of the leader was accompanied by irresistible force. In a short period of time, two gnolls had their arms chopped off by him.

Nemesis frowned. It turned out that the barbarians were no match for these five level three gnoll warriors. At this rate, he might be able to deal with the five gnolls alone.

As another major professional system, the warrior does not have various fancy supernatural powers like the spellcaster.

However, this does not mean that the warrior is not powerful.

The warriors focus on honing their combat skills. By observing the evolutionary direction of powerful races, they created a physical training method called "Rhythm". Each level of breakthrough will bring about overall improvement in their physical fitness. Their physical strength is comparable to that of inhuman monsters of the same level.

A warrior of legendary level can even be called a "Fatherlander".

A mage of the same level, if well prepared, can toy with a warrior to death without any harm, but if a mage and a warrior meet by chance, the mage will be equally powerless against the warrior.

　Yes, the fighters have been strengthened.
