Chapter 1114: The Arcanist's Weakness
A large area of terrifying ground spears rose from the ground, and soon overturned the position of the three 4th-ring arcanists.
In the midst of the smoke, there was a long and shrill scream from an arcanist.
When the dust and stone chips dispersed, only two arcanists remained intact around the magic pool that stood like a forest of spears, and the other arcanist was half-pierced by the thick ground spears, hanging him high.
The bodies of the two arcanists who escaped the disaster were still filled with the glory of the arcane shield, but in the swift attack just now, the arcane shield also underwent an extremely severe challenge, so the glory on it seemed dim and a little on the verge of breaking.
The 4th-ring arcanist hanging on the ground spear obviously had not experienced much tempering and polishing, and his physical condition was shockingly low. Therefore, he became dying before his two companions could treat him.
This is the result of the arcanists focusing too much on the accumulation of arcane knowledge and ignoring the consequences of physical fitness.
If it were a wizard, even a 3rd-level wizard, he would never be killed so easily by the evil hoof.
As the ground nearby rippled, the evil hoof emerged from the ground as if walking on water, with large patches of burn marks all over his dark magic scales, as if he had just experienced a terrible energy explosion.
From the opponent's terrible appearance and the way he appeared, the remaining two arcanists immediately understood.
"You... you destroyed the energy core underground..."
They shouted angrily, waving the arcane scepter in their hands and pointing at the evil hoof from a distance.
But strangely, after a gust of cold wind blew, nothing happened.
No rays, no energy balls, not even a drop of arcane energy appeared...
The two 4th-ring arcanists changed their faces again, and then they suddenly remembered that due to the explosion of the underground energy core, the spell pool behind them had completely failed.
For thousands of years, arcanists have been accustomed to relying on arcane facilities in their battles.
If there is no arcane energy, they borrow from the mana pool; if there is no arcane, they borrow from the spell pool...
No matter what kind of enemy, as long as the arcane facilities behind the arcanists can still operate, they can use various arcane spells to torture them to death without interruption.
However, now that the mana pool has been blown up and the spell pool has collapsed, the arcanists who have relied on them for fighting for many years are really a little uncomfortable!
And just when the two arcanists hesitated and paused, the figure of the evil hoof flashed and appeared beside one of them.
The khaki mist eroded and broke the arcane shield, and a petrifying ray hit the opponent's body, and then quickly fled the battlefield, avoiding the arcane torrent that the arcanist desperately counterattacked.
The arcanist was still roaring angrily, wanting to continue chasing the evil hoof with the scepter.
Unfortunately, as the power of petrification spread rapidly in his body, he was paralyzed and petrified into a blue-gray humanoid statue in less than 3 seconds.
It was still the arcanist's weak physique that caused the trouble.
If their physique was stronger and their magic resistance was higher, they could delay the onset of the power of petrification, at least giving him a little time to save himself or escape.
But now...
The only remaining 4-ring arcanist faced such an elusive little lord of disaster and lost the confidence to defeat his opponent. If the energy core had not been damaged, he would have had a constant supply of mana to support him, he would have had endless arcane spells to use, and he would have had a powerful arcane barrier to protect him, and he would not be afraid of an enemy of the same level at all.
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world...
When the support of external objects was lost, the arcanists lacked combat skills, physical tempering, and fighting will... These shortcomings were exposed one by one.
The vicious Xieti tore off the body of the arcanist hanging on the stone spear and ate it in big mouthfuls. He sniffed and pulled out a blue soul shadow from the body, and then inhaled it into his body like taking drugs, and then he made a strange and satisfied huge mouthful of mouth.
Dying in the hands of this Xieti, not only will the body become his food, but even the soul will not be able to get the final peace.
Seeing this scene, the mental will of the only remaining arcanist quickly collapsed.
He took out a handful of strange arcane props from his arms, smashed them madly at Xieti, and then recited the secret code of teleportation in a trembling voice with a crying tone.
Without the support of the spell pool, all the instant arcane spells in the past could not be used. Now he can only rely on his own strength to cast arcane spells. Therefore, a portal that he could easily open in the past took him 7 seconds to barely cast successfully this time.
However, how could Xieti, who had already regarded him as a meal, let him escape?
Xieti stood tall, and his ferocious mouthparts shaped like lotus petals began to shake rapidly in the direction of the portal. As strange void ripples extended to the portal, the portal, which looked like a black mirror, began to shake violently.
The arcane master was horrified and quickly injected his mental power into the portal, which barely saved it from collapsing immediately.
Among the pile of arcane props he threw out, there were silver statues that could be transformed into exquisite arcane puppets, arcane scrolls that bloomed with silver light, and some strange fruits that quickly transformed into mental shock waves...
Finally, with these various arcane props, he successfully delayed Xieti for 3 seconds. He was lucky enough to escape the scene and hide in an arcane tower.
After killing and devouring the flesh and souls of two 4th-ring arcane masters, Xieti immediately became energetic, and even the violent energy shock on his body was restored a lot.
Therefore, under its command, a large group of alien beasts that broke in broke through the broken spell pool and pounced on the arcane hall behind.
There, it sensed the breath of the 5th-ring great arcane master!
…………
After hiding and spying on the fight between Xieti and several arcane masters, Grimm's heart was also a little excited and uneasy.
In terms of physique and combat ability alone, this Xieti is far superior to himself.
Even if he uses all his strength, it is almost impossible to defeat such an opponent. On the contrary, his probability of defeat and death is as high as 39%.
However, if Grimm wanted to escape, it would be difficult for Xieti to keep him.
In Grimm's mind, the information collected by the chip based on the aftermath of the battle just now seemed so dazzling.
"Xieti, Little Lord of Disaster, Level 4 Advanced, Earth Attribute, Basic Physical Data: Strength 31 Constitution 46 Agility 36 Spirit 42, Mastered Skills: All Earth-related Medium and High-level Powers, Earth Mist Erosion (Level 4), Petrification Ray (Level 4), Gravity Ring (Level 4)..."
"Arcanist, 4th Ring, Strength Attribute Unknown, Basic Physical Data: Strength 8 Constitution 14 Agility 6 Spirit 43, Basic Abilities: Arcane Mastery, Puppet Making, Arcane Affinity..."
The gap in basic strength between the two sides is so huge that it is like a huge gap between heaven and earth.
With such a gap in strength, it is no wonder that once the Arcanist loses the support of arcane facilities such as the Arcane Tower, Mana Pool, and Spell Pool, he is as fragile as a paper man in front of Xieti.
Grimm obviously disagrees with the arcane masters who are extremely dependent on external objects.
As a spellcaster, necessary spell research and spell experiments must be carried out, but you can't give up the tempering of the body and the tempering of the fighting will for this.
In the wizard world, all wizards must give priority to the improvement of combat power. Only when their own combat power can guarantee their own safety will they spend a certain amount of time and resources to do some research that they are interested in. Otherwise, if their lives are gone, what's the point of those researches!
Therefore, the group of arcane masters living in the Morian plane have a more thorough research spirit and belief in the pursuit of truth than wizards. Unfortunately, they are good at research, but not good at protecting themselves. When the entire arcane empire is facing danger, there is almost no one who can stand up and turn the tide.
For their experience, Grimm can only respond with infinite sympathy.
After all, this multiverse is a world of violent turbulence and great struggle. If you want to climb technology and occupy territory safely, you can crush your opponents with technical power far beyond the enemy. Such an idea is certainly beautiful, but it is not realistic!
Instead, it is better to focus on pragmatism and individual strength like wizards, concentrate most of the resources in the hands of a few wizards, and build up super strong people that foreign enemies are in awe of. Only in this way can we restrain the enemy's desire to pounce and give our camp and successors a certain opportunity to develop and reproduce.
The reason why the wizard world can stand firm in a world with many powerful tribes is inseparable from the three great wizards of level 9!
It is a pity for the Arcane Empire that both arcane emperors have only reached level 8.
And such strength is obviously not enough to scare away those greedy and cruel enemies!
Grimm walked forward slowly, jumped into the collapsed and broken spell pool, and scanned the strange runes etched on the pool wall with a chip. After making sure that nothing was missed, he came out, took a look at the Arcane Hall in the distance, and turned to another direction.
There are so many places worth visiting in the floating city, so there is no need for him to squeeze with Xie Ti. If he guessed correctly, the other party should go straight to the 5th ring archmage.
Although the two sides agreed on the priority of dividing the spoils after killing the 5th ring archmage, this agreement itself is absurd.
If the three wizards really helped Xie Ti kill the 5th ring archmage, I am afraid that the next step will not be to distribute the spoils, but a new battle will break out.
After all, no one likes to spit out the fat meat in their mouths!
