Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 649 The Mage's Attack (2-in-1)

Sure enough, just as Roy was thinking this, a voice suddenly rang out from the air beside him.

Good evening, everyone!
Welcome to the stage I have prepared for you.

Here, let the hero fight the demon, and please me!
Ha ha ha ha……"

"It's Fass's voice!"

The others immediately recognized it as well.

Most of them had seen the monk before and had obviously dealt with him.

"Yes, it's me!"

Fass laughed heartily.

"What exactly did you do to get us here?"

"Waldner said in a cold voice."

Fathers laughed and said, "It's not my fault. You walked in on your own."

I simply placed some spatial guidance marks in key locations...

"Who told you to lack knowledge?"

His words left everyone speechless.

Compared to him, a top student from Espas College, everyone else's understanding of spatial science and etheric energy was indeed as shallow as that of elementary school students.

Even Roy hasn't had the opportunity to accumulate enough profound and extensive knowledge of spatial science, and he lacks practical experience in dealing with such situations.

"This guy……"

"If they really did this in a deliberate attempt to lure us here, this is not a good sign!"

Pulanjie said.

"After our last encounter, didn't you investigate his background? I think he was a top student at some academy?"

Roy said, "It's Espas Academy."

This guy is outstanding even among all the graduates, with talents including etheric affinity and spatial awareness, as well as top-notch reflexes.

Therefore, they are adept at dodging attacks by flashing and also have a dimensional jumping movement style.

Offensively, he primarily uses shaping magic, mainly "Dimensional Blade," a technique he has employed since his apprenticeship.

Wallace said, "This configuration is good for both offense and defense."

Nisha added, "At first glance, he doesn't seem to have many spells he's good at, but they're very practical. In fact, he already has the foundation of a strong person."

In fact, she herself is skilled in "psychic blades" and "death substitutes", and relies on her psychic abilities to surpass many level two masters.

She could understand how difficult it was to deal with such a genius.

Roy thought to himself, "I have more and stronger talents and strengths."

But unfortunately, there's really nothing suitable to deal with this situation.

Thinking of this, they quickly sent messages to each other, ordering their subordinates to try to find a way out.

To their surprise, they discovered that the road behind them had collapsed at some point.

There was simply no way out.

And ahead...

There's nothing ahead!
This place is like a dead end, with only an empty underground cave.

"Alright, that's all for now. I've prepared a special feast of abyssal monsters for you all, so please enjoy it!"

"Fathers said again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space shifted, and an invisible force field, like a wall, stood in front of everyone.

The crowd immediately stirred.

Walladena's face showed shock and anger: "This is a level three spatial spell, 'Maze Spell'?"
Damn it, how could a level three spell appear here?

Upon hearing this, Roy's expression hardened slightly.

"Maze Spell" is a spell that can banish a target to a dimensional maze.

This labyrinth is formed by force field planes, and even "teleportation" cannot escape it; one can only escape by "interdimensional teleportation"...

But soon, everyone discovered that it didn't seem to be a "maze spell," but rather a natural spatial structure formed by the surrounding void intersections.

Phathers simply used the natural terrain to make the underground cave even narrower.

This is even worse than being hit by the level three spell "Maze Spell," because spells have a limited duration, while natural spatial structures do not!

"Never mind that for now."

Roy thought for a moment and then made a suggestion.

"Look around."

If there are weak points in the spatial nodes, perhaps some more ether bombs can be temporarily forged to forcibly break through the spatial barrier and escape!

Wallace agreed, "Okay."

So he led everyone to begin the search.

But Fassus was clearly not going to let them search with peace of mind so easily. A moment later, several gates in front of them opened.

From the black void, a group of burly horned demons and several abyssal gutted demons emerged.

Following closely behind are a large number of low-level Quassamon and their ilk.

They came in large numbers, clearly not summoned by magic, but rather lured over monsters that were luring nearby.

Wallace's attention was drawn to the demons, and just as he was about to make a move, several small dimensional blades came hurtling towards him from the sky.

Caught off guard, he dodged the first few obstacles, but ended up stumbling on the last one.

In an instant, his armor and chest tore open, and blood spurted out.

Immediately afterwards, several more dimensional blades were unleashed.

This thing is different from ordinary metal swords or shaped weapons.

It possesses both physical and magical attack characteristics, and is very difficult to defend against.

Several armored warriors stood ready.

Some people, however, quickly dodged and avoided the attack with their agile movements.

However, their agility did not bring much security.

In a short while, several more people were injured.

They quickly scattered, their faces filled with fear and wariness.

"Damn..."

Wallace clutched his wound, panting heavily as he struggled to hold on.

With the vitality of a level two knight, a mere one or two blows are not enough to kill him.

However, this feeling of being forced to passively take hits and being completely unable to retaliate infuriated him.

"Where did the attack come from?"

Roy glanced in the direction from which the attack had come, but quickly looked away to the other side.

"No, it seems like there were attacks from several directions just now!"

Was he constantly shifting positions, or was he using spatial magic to distort his attack point?

Based on his fundamental knowledge of spatial science and by fully utilizing his spatial magic abilities, he could absolutely do this.

This makes it difficult to determine Fass's location.

It's even possible that the other party isn't even in this plane, but in an adjacent plane.

The Aether Plane, the Astral Plane, and the Shadow Plane, among others, are all adjacent to the Material Plane, and many beings can use magic to enter and exit them.

Based on the intelligence he possessed, it was not difficult to determine that Fassus was hiding within the Aether plane.

Even the process of using "teleportation" involves entering inside.

But I only see it as a passageway and cannot stay there for long.

Thinking of this, Fassus made another move.

This time, the Dimensional Blade was extremely close to Walladener's heart, almost within a few meters, and struck him instantly from behind.

Caught off guard, Wallace fell heavily to the ground.

******
"Lord Commander!"

The subordinates were alarmed and quickly filled in to prevent Fassus from attacking again.

Roy also threw out a few alchemical bombs to help.

After a while, they killed several demons and finally eased the situation slightly.

Throughout this process, he was constantly on guard against another sneak attack from Fassus, and he wanted to seize any opportunity to counterattack.

However, Fassus was clearly on guard and refrained from showing up.

The mage clearly understood that the moment he launched his attack was the moment he would be exposed.

If not handled properly, things could go awry at any moment. Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities to act, so there's no need for him to rush or take any risks.

"This guy is even more cautious than Edwin and Valentina were back then!"

Roy couldn't help but recall the mage he had encountered before.

Edwin sent a spy to infiltrate the area, along with several soldiers and followers, to launch a surprise attack.

Valentina, on the other hand, started with a long-range attack, luring herself into an open field without cover to be hit by missiles.

This is a tactical choice that complements one's knowledge and magical abilities.

The mages seem to be very good at fighting these kinds of well-prepared battles; they're all experts at solving problems.

In contrast, wizards seem to have grown up in a more untamed way, and are more adept at skirmishes.

But now, this carefully chosen battlefield is completely under Fass's control.

He was clearly determined to proceed cautiously and steadily towards victory.

This is quite disadvantageous for everyone.

Sure enough, a short while later, the passage in the distance opened, and another group of demons were released.

The group was forced to divide their forces to deal with the monsters.

Roy thought for a moment and temporarily gave up on finding Fass's whereabouts, instead taking out a few colorful fruit candies.

This is a byproduct of the previous resurrection candy making process; it's a healing candy, a product made from leftover fruit juice scraps.

They do not have the effect of resurrection, but under the skillful intervention of a doctor, they are endowed with powerful active energy, thus gaining the ability to mobilize flesh and blood cells and recover quickly.

Valladner himself was a powerful warrior, and although he was severely injured, he was not dead.

A dedicated healer has placed their hands near the wound, sparing no effort to dedicate their own life force to provide emergency care.

After eating the candy, the heart started beating again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wound quickly healed.

"That's wonderful, sir..."

The therapist exclaimed.

Wallace opened his eyes abruptly.

Fathers' laughter rang out: "There are actually such treatment methods..."

I'd like to see how long you can hold out!

As they spoke, more portals opened again.

It's clear that while I was away, I found a new batch of monsters.

While the other accompanying subordinates were holding off the attack, Roy distributed the remaining healing fruit candies and said, "Everyone, don't panic."

He is constantly pressuring us.

If you panic and rush into a deeper fork in the road, you might even fall into a real abyss.

At that time, the number of demons we will face will truly be endless.

Upon hearing this, Wallace frowned deeply.

This is indeed a problem.

"He acted too quickly..."

Appearance and disappearance...

And without any warning!

"That's true, none of us can react as fast as him."

This seems to be more than just innate reflexes; there's also a special magical boost...

"He also expended energy summoning those demons; it might not be as easy for him as it appeared..."

During their discussion, Roy also came up with a solution.

Since I can't react in time, can activating Alice's "automatic attack mode" solve the problem?

A level 4 magic puppet with stats that completely outclass Fass, it'll definitely work!

"but……

It seems unnecessary to resort to such measures unless it's absolutely necessary.

This is a potential source of information leakage.

If he sees Alice take action, he will definitely become suspicious!
They might try to investigate using methods like "divine intervention"!

Thinking of this, I made up my mind instantly.

Use it only if absolutely necessary!
After a period of stalemate, the group eliminated several more demons, and then Fass made his move again.

Roy followed up with a "Malice Transformation" attack, unleashing a burst of white light.

However, Fassus instantly teleported to the other side.

"hehe……

"Having fought you before, I've already figured out your strengths and weaknesses. How could I possibly fall for your tricks so easily?"

His voice came down from the air, like a stereo echoing, ethereal and uncertain.

Next, monsters began to appear frequently.

He constantly summoned free monsters from unknown places and lured them into the labyrinth.

The soldiers brought by Walladena were held back, and Roy's Prandtse and Nisa also joined the battle.

Various alchemical bombs and combat supplies were also damaged.

Everyone understood that Fassus was trying to trap them, but they were completely helpless.

Roy pondered for a moment, then transmitted his voice: "This person is just being mysterious..."

But no matter what he does, his ultimate goal is still to launch an attack and kill us.

When he attacks me, you do this…

Prandtse and Nisha looked surprised after hearing his plan.

Because Roy was actually planning to create an opening to lure Fass into making a move.

This involves getting involved and seeking a fleeting opening.

But it's impossible to think of something and then immediately do it.

If the flaws are too obvious, everyone will know there's a problem and they're unlikely to be fooled.

Fortunately, by this time, quite some time had passed since they were trapped, and Roy found an excellent opportunity.

Taking advantage of the appearance of a new wave of demons, he slightly shifted his position.

As expected, Fass paid special attention to him and immediately activated the power field, causing the space to change again.

In an instant, an invisible wall, like glass, blocked Roy's connection with everyone else, leaving only Alice by his side.

Fass suddenly made a move, and the Dimensional Blade appeared out of thin air.

The next moment, with a tearing sound, flesh was ripped apart.

Roy's body was cut in half at the waist, like a wooden stake!
"Lord Roy!"

Prandtse and Nisa rushed forward, but were blocked by an invisible wall of air between them.

Alice, on the other hand, stood there dumbfounded, like an ordinary maid who had been frightened into submission.

"Hahaha……

Die! "

Seeing this, Fass excitedly launched another attack with the Dimensional Blade, and it looked like he was about to take Roy's life.

Roy's long hair at the back of his head suddenly grew out of shape, the strands twisting and congealing into a spear-like form.

In an instant, it pierced the window where the dimensional blade appeared.

"what!"

Fass screamed in pain.

However, he was not seriously injured and immediately made a flash and escaped.

Having spatial abilities means you can fight if you can win, and run if you can't, which is a very reasonable choice.

But just then, Roy's hair suddenly turned golden.

The chains ignored the barrier of the dimensional force field and plunged directly into the invisible void.

That's the power of the "Soul-Binding Rope"!

"what!"

An even more pitiful scream rang out from within.

The next moment, the sound of shattering glass came from all directions.

The surrounding dark void twisted and changed, gradually revealing its true nature.
