Chapter 365: Arcane Lightning Bombards the Array

The Crusaders and a group of priests of the Glorious God set off for Chim Town.

At the same time.

A large number of knowledge-seeking believers in Chim Town were heading towards Ceylon City.

It was a coincidence.

The two sides passed each other.

With the restoration of regional stability, the strength of the illusion barrier formed out of thin air outside the Countess's Castle has dropped significantly and almost disappeared.

It has finally reached a level that can be set foot by mortals.

When they arrived in Ceylon City, the concentration of Crusaders here was already quite low.

The remaining Crusaders were basically maintaining order near the refuge camp.

As for the outer perimeter of the Countess's Castle?

There was a shortage of manpower, so they were all transferred away.

So, what appeared in front of Pete and others was a magnificent castle that just lost the Crusaders' obstruction!

...

Under the eternal night.

The outer wall of the castle was shrouded in a faint silver glow.

This was the soft light emitted by the magic crystals on the tops of several towers.

They continuously provide energy for the magic array and runes in the castle, blocking all uninvited guests from outside.

This is not only a castle, but also a magic tower dedicated to the Countess of Ceylon.

Here, she can use the power of magic crystals to perform powerful magic far beyond her own strength.

Brandon looked up at the magic crystals from a distance, wondering curiously:

"Hey? If we break these crystals from the outside, will the Countess's strength be greatly reduced?"

Pete's eyes jumped and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard it.

"In theory, it is possible to do so."

"The core of each wizard tower is a magic crystal. Destroying it can indeed quickly invalidate the magic array of the wizard tower."

"But don't just look at it displayed outside. In fact, there are a lot of magic arrays that you can't see at all providing strict protection."

"Deflection field, silent land, true form, magic purification field, and even a strike array that identifies enemies and friends..."

"Even if you are really strong enough to break through this series of protective measures, you can directly damage the magic crystal itself."

"Mage towers usually have a last insurance measure."

"Self-detonation."

"Magic crystals are considered to be strange gems that can naturally absorb the arcane energy dissipated by the magic network."

"Destroying it will cause the structural balance inside the crystal to be broken. The arcane energy it absorbs and gathers will rush out at that moment. With a little guidance, it can form a powerful-Boom."

"Conservatively speaking, it should not be a problem to blow up the entire Ceylon City."

Brandon shrank his head.

Give up his bold idea.

Gale calmly comforted him:

"The Mage Tower is the most powerful weapon and tool for spellcasters. It is almost impossible to destroy a Mage Tower with a spellcaster before defeating the master."

"The Countess is a fifth-level spellcaster, and her strength will be multiplied after being amplified by the Mage Tower."

"Even a sixth-level legendary warrior cannot threaten the magic crystal before defeating the Countess, let alone us."

"What we should worry about now is whether this castle is willing to welcome us."

...

The answer is obvious.

No.

The believer who was the first to prepare for defense was wearing light armor and protected by [Divine Word: Shield].

The moment he crossed the castle gate.

A twisted blue-purple lightning arc lit up in the air.

With a "sizzle", the brave man was given a full-body electrotherapy.

After the treatment, you can smell the burnt smell.

Seriously injured on the spot.

Not dead, but basically only one breath left.

Seeing this scene, the believers fell silent.

"Hiss..."

Pet clenched his teeth and took a breath of the slightly cold air outside the castle.

"Arcane lightning bombards the magic circle, trouble!"

In the Magic Codex, [Arcane Lightning] is a standard 5th-level magic, which is a lower-level version of the 6th-level magic [Disintegration].

This magic needs to use lightning wood as a guide material, and then consume a small amount of a strange material called "Disintegration Dust", which can constrain the arcane energy into the shape of high-energy lightning and strike the target.

Its strength lies in.

The magic takes effect very quickly.

Low-level magic such as [Arcane Missiles], [Scorching Rays] or [Frost Arrows], although they have a certain tracking and guiding effect, they still cannot hit the target 100%.

If the opponent is flexible enough, he can still evade it by body movement.

[Arcane Lightning] is different.

From the generation to the hit, it really only takes a moment.

Lightning-like hit speed.

There is no way to avoid it, you can only take the damage.

The consequence of not being able to take it is that you will be electrocuted like the believer who explored the way.

What's more troublesome is.

Pete can recognize that this is not a magic cast by human guidance, but an automatic bombardment maintained by the magic circle!

It's like copying magic into a scroll.

Some types of magic can persist in a magic circle of specific specifications, and produce different effects according to the rune circuits on the magic circle.

For example, this one in front of you.

Pete estimated that the runes on the magic circle are likely to have a "bombardment" effect, which will automatically attack all uninvited guests who enter the castle without permission.

Normally, this thing is used to prevent thieves.

As long as the stealth mode is removed, the position of the magic array covering the entire castle will be locked immediately, and then it will be chopped and killed.

As long as the energy and materials to maintain the operation of the magic array are not used up.

It will always be effective.

The energy comes from the huge magic crystals on the castle tower.

Materials... God knows how much "dissociation dust" Countess Ceylon has stored.

What if it is enough to chop hundreds of times?

We can't really risk our lives, so we just rush in and squeeze the magic array dry.

I still say that.

Although the resurrection magic can revive, the geographical distance limitation cannot be overcome.

It takes a lot of time to get back after dying once.

They don't have that much time, they must stop it before the goddess of illusion collapses.

With the improvement of regional stability, the powerful illusion area outside the castle has indeed disappeared, and the first problem has been solved.

But the second problem, how to break through the castle's automatic defense system, stumped the believers.

Just when Pete and the others were at a loss, they all fell into deep thought, trying to find a way out.

Not far away, there was an excited whisper:

"Mr. Chinal?"

"Am I seeing this correctly? Is it really you?"

The name was called.

Pete turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

A figure that he had met once in the West Wei Territory came into Pete's sight:

"Tostin? Uh, your name is...Pe Twain Tostin, am I remembering correctly?"

The other party immediately showed a surprised expression.

Nodding vigorously.

"Yes! It's me!"
