A group of Duergar Warriors surrounded him.
The wizard's barrier was finally broken. After all, there was a limit to how much damage it could take. However, when a Duergar Warrior's axe landed on the wizard's body, it bounced back as if it had hit a marble wall.
Stoneskin!
Søren already knew the outcome of the battle. Stoneskin could take up to 150 points of damage. They had to surround the wizard and attack him in order to break through his Stoneskin. There didn't seem to be any high-grade warriors among the grey dwarves. Just a bunch of Grade 2 warriors wouldn't be able to kill a high-grade wizard.
As expected.
One of the Duergar Warriors was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and chopped off his companion's head with his axe.
Enraged Charm.
The Duergar Warrior suddenly went on a killing spree. He killed three of his companions in one go before being killed by the others.
"Not a single spellcaster?"
Søren looked around and pursed his lips. "They didn't even bring a priest. Are they trying to get themselves killed?"
"It's about time for a large-scale attack, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew across the battlefield. The wizard's speed suddenly became extraordinary. In an instant, he had opened up a distance of nearly 50 meters. He then quickly cast a spell, and a spider web spread out, trapping many gray dwarves in it. Spider Web was based on Strength and Dexterity. It could be used to dodge or break free. However, it was difficult for low-grade Warriors to dodge a high-grade wizard's web.
The wizard quickly cast a spell, and a basketball-sized fireball appeared in front of him. He pointed his finger forward, and the fireball immediately flew out and exploded in the middle of the Duergar Warriors.
Fireball.
Perhaps it was because of the game of pickle in the 21st century, but many people thought that Fireball was a spell that could be casually thrown out. However, Fireball's level was not low. It was a Level 3 evocation spell, and could only be cast by a Level 6 Wizard. The power of the spell was similar to what was happening right in front of their eyes. With a loud bang, it was as if a grenade had exploded in the middle of the Duergar Warriors, and a Duergar Warrior was instantly blasted into pieces.
The scorching flames wreaked havoc, and the impact of the explosion sent the gray dwarves nearby flying.
The duergar warriors who were lucky enough to survive also spat out mouthfuls of blood. Many of their fur and clothes were on fire.
"Around Professional Level 12."
Søren could roughly estimate the level of the enemy based on the fireball's power. If a wizard of a higher level cast a fireball, at least half of the dwarves would have died from the fireball's attack. The Fireball spell was one of the spells he was most familiar with. There was a time when the 'Five Fireball Holy Sect' was popular. Five rank 2 Magi would cast a Fireball spell at the same time. The concentrated area of effect explosion and high temperature flames would directly wipe out the enemies within a sixty feet radius, leaving behind a crater with a diameter of three meters.
"He shouldn't have many spell slots left, right?"
Søren furrowed his brows as he glanced at them. His expression showed a hint of eagerness. Even though the spellcasters seemed to have cheats, they were still at the mercy of others after casting their spells. It seemed that the wizard had been fighting for a long time. There were at least twenty or thirty duergars who had died nearby, and he must have used up a lot of spell slots.
"Spider Spawn!"
The wizard threw something and it landed on the corpse of a duergar. Immediately, two spider eggs appeared and quickly expanded. Finally, two venomous spiders the size of millstones emerged from the dark green liquid. After the venomous spiders appeared, they hissed and then quickly rushed to the other duergars under the wizard's command. Soon, two or three warriors were bitten to death.
Søren's hair stood on end.
He looked at them in shock and murmured, "Dark Elves?"
Spider Spawn was a very obscure level 4 spell. Depending on the wizard's level, it could spawn one to three spiders in a short time. It mainly depended on the spellcasting materials and the wizard's level. Venomous spiders could be level 6 to 8, and special species of spiders could even be cultivated. Not only were they dangerous, but they also had spell-like abilities. This was a very rare spell that could only be learned by the wizards of the underground world. The ones who were best at it were the Dark Elf Wizards and Priests.
This was because they believed in the Spider Queen Lolth, an evil and powerful deity.
The wizard's protective force field was still intact, and he was not hurt at all. The duergars finally began to despair.
Some of them turned and ran, but they were bitten to death by the swift venomous spiders. Some wanted to fight with their lives, but their heads were blown off by the flying Arcane Missiles.
A high-grade wizard's Arcane Missile could penetrate a 0.3-centimeter-thick steel plate.
It was equivalent to the power of a pistol shot from 100 meters away. Even if it did not hit the vital parts, it could still open a hole in the body. Sometimes, it could even penetrate armor.
Søren gave up the idea of taking the risk in his heart because the Dark Elves were very cunning.
He definitely had some fatal spells that he had not used yet!
…
From beginning to end.
This was a massacre. A high-grade wizard had killed thirty low-grade duergar warriors in a variety of ways.
Apart from the initial danger of almost breaking the protective force field, there was basically nothing they could do to the wizard. Among all the professions, only a Sword Saint could break the protective force field of a wizard of the same rank in one hit. The other professions would need at least two to three hits, and it would be even more difficult if there was a gap between their professions.
If Søren had a real Rare-grade weapon, he would be able to break the protective force field in one second.
Unfortunately, he could not kill the wizard in one hit!
The wizard's robe seemed to be a piece of Rare-grade equipment, and there must be a protective spell on it that had not been activated yet.
Buttons, brooches, rings, gems, headwear, necklaces, amulets … Many of the things that looked like decorations could be the Rare-grade equipment that the wizard carried with him. These wizards were so rich that it made one's hair stand on end. A second-grade wizard was worth five to six thousand Kindler coins, and a third-grade wizard was worth at least ten thousand Kindler coins.
Otherwise, Søren would not have called them wizards.
"Do I have the confidence to win against him?"
Søren stared at the wizard who was leaving in the distance. Two poisonous spiders the size of millstones followed behind him. They could still survive for a while, but they would quickly age and die. The wizard was still very vigilant. The two spiders protected him on both sides as he walked towards the plains in the distance. No one knew what his final destination was. After all, the dark elves were not used to the sunlight on the ground.
"If I can break the protective force field, the wyvern's venom should be able to paralyze him. After all, most wizards don't have high vitality."
"Unless he has a spell on him beforehand, his fortitude won't be able to pass the test of poison."
"If the poison takes effect, the failure rate of his spell casting will be at least 50%, and he might not even be able to cast a spell. But the problem is, how many layers of protective force fields does he have? Do I have the confidence to hit him before he can cast a spell? "
Søren slowly withdrew his curved sword. He had less than ten percent confidence in defeating this high-grade wizard, even if he had used a lot of spells.
Against wizards, he needed to explode!
If he couldn't break through their protective force field in one go, he would be killed by their spells sooner or later.
When Søren became a legendary rogue, he had killed hundreds of wizards along the way. He knew the terrible consequences of letting them have time to cast spells.
"Too bad I didn't learn Shadow Jump. Otherwise, I would have killed him in one hit."
A rogue with a profession level of 12 and above could learn Shadow Jump if they specialized in shadow magic. They could temporarily enter the shadow plane and return to the material plane through the shadow plane. Although it was only for a second, it was enough for Søren to pass through the protective force field and directly attack the wizard. This was the key to mastering the legendary skill Shadow Realm. Top-tier rogue assassins loved to assassinate across planes!
Shadow Step also allowed them to pass through the shadow passage and appear behind the enemy.
The wizard's figure was getting farther and farther away. Dark elves wouldn't appear on the surface world for no reason. Søren was sure that something was going to happen, but he didn't know what it was.
A wizard with a profession level of 12 had a high status. There weren't many reasons for him to appear in the wilderness alone.
