The blade cut through the tendons, and Søren actually felt very smooth.
It felt like he was chopping firewood with a knife. He used to cut horizontally, which required a lot of strength. But now, he was chopping vertically, using both the force of gravity and the path of the wood itself. This knife was supposed to be three inches deep into the Red Dragon's body before it lost its strength. But now, Søren had stabbed nearly a foot deep, and at the same time, he had opened up a nearly three-inch wound. To put it simply, Søren had almost cut off a piece of flesh that weighed about a hundred pounds from the Red Dragon's abdomen.
It was just one cut!
The Red Dragon let out a painful roar, which was even more painful than when it was hit by a round of spells from the Northern Witches.
Spirit spells could not control the will of the dragon, and damage spells could not break the protection of the dragon's scales. Since the destruction of the Arcane Empire, people had mentioned the Elemental Tide more than once, and they had cited a large number of changes in pure-blood dragons to prove the impact of the Elemental Tide on other creatures. The lifespan of dragons could be as long as thousands of years. Some of the dragons who had lived for quite a long time could clearly see the greater impact of time on their power.
This theory eventually pointed to the peak of the Elemental Tide about three to five hundred years later.
Some people suspected that this would lead to the rise of the Dragon Island.
…
The witches' formation was completely messed up.
They did not come with their real bodies, so they only retained about 80% of their strength. Both the casting level and the strength of the spells were much lower than the strength of the real body. A wizard's projection could retain about 70% of their strength. Although the soul projection's combat power was stronger, it could only retain about 80%. It was said that the Arcane Empire used to have a powerful spell called "Simulacrum," which could retain more than 90% of the combat power, but this spell had been lost for a long time.
After the destruction of the Arcane Empire, many spells were lost, especially those from other planes.
For a half-baked wizard like Soran, the reduction in strength was not obvious because he did not have many spell slots to begin with. All he could do was throw out Arcane Missiles once and for all. Moreover, the Soul Projection of the Rogue class did not reduce attributes. It only slightly affected basic skills in various aspects. Therefore, entering the Astral Plane had the least impact on him. He retained most of his Attribute Points in his Soul Projection state, and it just so happened that Søren's Battle Power was largely supported by his Attribute Points.
A whistling gust of wind came from behind!
When Søren cut through the dragon's scales and dealt quite a bit of damage to the Red Dragon, its long and narrow tail was raised in the air and whipped towards him.
Søren didn't dare to take the attack head-on, so he quickly pulled out his scimitar and retreated. When he pulled out his scimitar, a large amount of dragon blood spurted out from his wound.
The boiling dragon blood dripped onto Søren's body. The Red Dragon's blood was hotter than the White Dragon's. It was like boiling water, and Søren was slightly scalded. This kind of injury would not affect Søren's Battle Power, but it made his body tremble slightly. He could only rely on his strong Dexterity and Flexibility to twist his body in half to dodge the attack. He then flew up and landed a kick on the side of the Red Dragon. Because the tail was raised, he saw a huge chrysanthemum. He had to admit that the excretory organs of a Giant Dragon were not much different from other creatures.
However, this should be one of the few places that was not protected by dragon scales!
The Giant Dragon's excrement was a very useful tool in the wild. It could repel other wild monsters, so they would not dare to approach and attack adventurers.
Since there was Giant Dragon's excrement, they also had excretory organs.
For any creature, this place was considered a critical spot. Usually, it was protected by the Dragon's tail, so there was basically no chance to attack it. However, when the Red Dragon swept its tail at Søren's body, it created a hole in his defense that lasted for about a second and a half. Soran, who had never talked about any honorable means, immediately stabbed into the enemy after seeing that the enemy had exposed the area without the protection of dragon scales.
When he subconsciously stabbed into the enemy's body with his curved sword, he realized that the position he attacked was quite special.
Damn it!
This Red Dragon was actually a female!
The enemy's gender did not affect Søren's Battle Sense. When the Red Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar and turned its head to spit Dragon's Breath at him, Søren had already retreated into the shadows and activated the Shadow Dancer's new ability [Shadow Leap]. This was a common ability for Rogues, but Shadow Dancers mastered it earlier. If it was a purebred Rogue, it might be around the level of a Quasi-Legendary. This was a very important prerequisite skill, and it was the most important escape and pursuit skill for Rogues.
It was a little different from [Shadow Jump].
"Shadow Leap [Supernatural Ability]: As the Rogue's connection with the Shadow Plane becomes closer and closer, they begin to master the mysterious Shadow Leap ability. They can shuttle and jump in the shadows, just like the Wizard's Anywhere Door spell. This Shadow Leap ability does not require them to enter Stealth. As long as they are in the shadows, Rogues can perform Shadow Leap. This jump distance is up to 100 meters, but it can be divided into any number of times. Before mastering a special advanced ability, the limit of Shadow Leap in a day is 100 meters. "
[Note: This ability can be used ten times, each jump a distance of 10 meters. It can also be used once, each jump a distance of 100 meters.]
This was the legendary [Shadow Leap]!
It was a more flexible and useful ability than Shadow Jump. It did not require them to enter Stealth, they only needed to be in the shadows.
Then they could launch a jump ability similar to Anywhere Door and be immune to spells such as Epidemic Dimensional Anchor.
However, this supernatural ability had a weakness, that was, its limit was 100 meters. Unless they mastered a very special ability, they could only jump a distance of 100 meters at most. From this point of view, [Shadow Leap] was completely inferior to the legendary skill [Shadow Step], because the latter had greater freedom and greater lethality. In fact, Søren had been considering whether to upgrade the profession level of Rogues or Wizards.
One was the current combat power, the other was the future combat potential!
"Boom!"
The fierce flame was like an explosion.
Søren only jumped about 15 meters. [Shadow Leap] could only be used in the shadows that he could see. Only those above the legendary level could feel the invisible shadows. Søren's thin figure disappeared in the shadows and then reappeared in the shadows. In a flash, he completely avoided the dragon's breath. In fact, the gap between Rogues and Wizards was gradually narrowing since they entered the higher grade. Otherwise, they would not be second only to the Sword Saint and have the ability to assassinate Wizards.
Søren relied on many supernatural abilities to deal with Wizards in the past.
The changes on the battlefield were ever-changing!
The situation of the northern Witches seemed to be a bit bad. The tactic of the Githyankis was to constantly remove magic and then rely on the psionic warriors to attack the enemy. This caused a lot of trouble for the northern Witches. If they did not continuously buff their defensive energy field, they would be easily exposed to the attack range of the psionic warriors. However, once they continuously buff their defensive spells, they would fall into a passive situation of a war of attrition because there would always be a moment when the spell slots would be used up.
The fragile body of Wizards was doomed to be difficult to support for a long time without the buff of the AT Force Field!
Because the ones attacking them were all advanced warriors from the Astral Plane.
"Dang!"
A strange figure appeared out of thin air, then waved the Gith Silver Blade and slashed at a northern Witch who had exhausted her defensive spells. Wizards could only remember one-third of the defensive spells at most, so when her defensive spells were used up, she could only counterattack by throwing a large number of control spells, killing a lot of Githyankis in front of her. However, without the protection of the energy field, her existence was quite fragile and became the target of many psionic warriors.
The Gith Silver Blade was flowing with silver cold light, and it directly pierced the heart of the northern Witch!
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Then, something unexpected happened.
The northern Witch, who had almost exhausted all her defensive spells, suddenly seemed to trigger some kind of unexpected spell, and then she waved her staff to block the psionic warrior in front of her.
Strength, Agility, Reflexes.
No matter from which point of view, it was almost impossible for the northern Witch to block the attack of an advanced warrior.
But she did block it.
— — "Tan Sen's Polymorph!"
The psionic warrior in front of her seemed to realize something, but it was a little late.
The northern Witch, who looked very delicate in front of him, directly swung her staff and broke one of his arms on the spot. Then the staff hit his head horizontally. The scene was simply horrible. At a glance, it could be judged that the strength of the witch had reached about 20 points because she almost smashed the opponent's skull. Everyone who saw this could not help but frown. At the same time, Søren, who saw this scene by accident, was surprised.
"Tan Sen's Polymorph?!"
Søren rolled away from the range of the dragon breath and murmured, "I didn't expect there to be a combat Wizard who is proficient in Polymorph among the northern Witches!"
Combat Wizard.
A spellcaster of a special school.
They mainly focused on Polymorph spells. For example, at a lower level, they could learn Polymorph, which could transform into animals, spiders, pterosaurs, and other creatures. At a higher level, they could learn Tan Sen's Polymorph, which was close to the combat power of a warrior of the same level. In the future, they could also learn a variety of special Polymorph spells, as well as legendary spells that could transform into Giants, Golems, Demons, and other creatures.
This was a very rare school of Wizards!
Especially after the destruction of the Arcane Empire, there were fewer and fewer Wizards who mastered high-grade Polymorph spells.
…
(Tan Sen's Polymorph [Level 6 Spell]: Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution increase to 20 points, natural armor + 4, strong reflex + 5, automatic mastery of military weapons, vitality equivalent to a warrior of the same level, loss of spellcasting ability during the spell.)
