The series of explosions naturally attracted a group of Demon Hunter Knights.
There were also many Spell Breaker Knights and Radiant Knights among them.
However, when they arrived at the battlefield with their demon colts, all they saw was a bloody battlefield that had yet to be extinguished. The ground was filled with deep pits and scorch marks left by the explosion of the lava fireballs. The once boiling lava had already solidified into dark red lava.
However, the remaining heat had yet to dissipate, and the battlefield was still filled with scorching heat waves.
As for the small team of thirty knights, apart from a few broken limbs at the edge of the battlefield, most of them had already been devoured by the lava and flames, making it difficult to find them.
As for the culprit, he had already escaped from the battlefield and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone reined in their demon colts and stared at the horrifying scene that resembled doomsday with their eyes wide open. The anger and resentment in their chests burned like boiling lava, causing them to feel pain.
"Pass down my order! Gather the troops and maintain a tight formation. We can't continue fighting like this! Get all the knights to gather at the center! "A Radiant Knight with a white beard and a determined look on his face roared. Behind him, a large flag with a sword and shield was fluttering in the wind.
Shortly after, the low and melodious sound of a horn began to echo in the forest.
Just as Grimm turned a corner at the foot of a hill, he saw another battlefield on a gentle slope filled with green grass. A dozen or so Demon Hunter Knights were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner in the forest. An evil short figure was strolling among them as if he was searching for something.
Hearing the commotion, the short figure stood up straight and looked at Grimm with a pair of dull, lifeless eyes under the shadow of the hood.
It's a puppet!
It's a fire demon!
Although both parties did not have much contact with each other, they were still on the same side. Therefore, when they bumped into each other on the battlefield, they only nodded at each other and planned to pass each other by.
However, at this moment, the low and melodious sound of a horn traveled along the mountain.
Although the two could not understand the message conveyed by the horn, the fact that the demon hunter knights chose to blow the horn at this time meant that they were planning to shrink their formation!
"The enemy is preparing to shrink their formation. How about it, let's go and have a look? "Grimm looked at the direction of the horn and took the initiative to invite them.
Once the other party shrank their formation, although their movement speed would be much slower, the safety factor would definitely be much higher. If the Wizards wanted to continue their sneak attack, the chances of encountering the Knights of Light and Spell Breaker would be much higher.
At this time, it wasn't a bad thing to have a comrade by his side to restrict the number of enemies!
This marionette was also a veteran Magus. His elemental affinity was with the Plant Element, but he had strangely turned his entire body into wood. According to legend, his special ability was to use puppet threads to control other people's bodies.
To be honest, it was a rather strange ability!
Hearing Grim's suggestion, the puppet pondered for a while and finally nodded in agreement.
Without another word, the two of them turned around and rushed in the direction of the sound of the horn.
Although they verbally promised to become partners, Grim never tried to approach the Marionette Wizard, and the Marionette Wizard did the same. From start to finish, both sides maintained a distance of at least 30 meters.
This was actually an unwritten rule between Magi!
Once on the battlefield, any creature within 30 meters of a Wizard would be regarded as an enemy, even if it was a 'comrade' of the same faction.
For a Wizard like Mary who specialized in Agility, if she came within 50 meters of any Wizard, she would attract a strong reaction and hostility from the other party. It had nothing to do with hatred, it was just a way to protect oneself!
After all, 30 meters was the minimum distance that most Wizards could react to a crisis in time. If they got any closer, some of the weaker elemental Sorcerers would be worried that they would be instantly killed by the Body Refinement Sorcerers or some strange spells.
Trust? This term did not even exist among Magi!
Perhaps if a Wizard allowed you to get within 30 meters of him, it was already the greatest trust he had for you! If you wanted to get closer? Unless you were a slave or a weak Wizard that he could completely control, it would mean an undeclared war.
The two of them quickly ran in the forest.
Every five seconds, Grim would suddenly disappear in a sudden burst of elemental flames. In the next second, he would appear in an open space in the forest about 200 meters away.
The puppet Wizard obviously had some special mobility abilities. Every time he advanced a certain distance, he would inexplicably crash into a tall ancient tree. It was like a drop of water merging into a stream, without the slightest bit of delay or stiffness. Soon after, his body would emerge from the trunk of another tall ancient tree one or two hundred meters away.
The whole process was natural and smooth, and no one could sense any elemental aura fluctuations. This was in stark contrast to his stiff and inflexible body movements, causing others to frown deeply upon seeing him.
Of course, with the cautiousness of Magi, they would never reveal their true situation when their companions were by their side.
For example, Grim would always use Flame Jump in a fixed interval of 5 seconds. However, no one knew if this was the case. If someone targeted this, it was very likely that they would find something even more surprising in a life or death situation.
Although both of them were silently rushing forward, they were secretly observing each other and gathering information bit by bit. This did not mean that one of them wanted to do something to the other, but it was just an instinct that Wizards had developed after being cautious for a long time.
If they gathered more information, they might be able to save their lives at a critical moment!
Grim was obviously puzzled as to how this puppet Wizard was able to complete a short distance teleportation without anyone noticing. However, with the help of the powerful A.I. Chip, he quickly discovered the puppet Wizard's little secret.
With his powerful Elemental Vision, Grim was surprised to find that the puppet Wizard's short distance teleportation was not completely random. In each of the tall ancient trees that appeared and disappeared, Grim could see a ball of Witchcraft Imprint that contained a person's aura.
These Sorcery Imprints hidden deep inside the ancient trees were like waypoints, acting as spatial guidance, so that the Puppet Wizard would not lose his coordinates and direction at all.
No wonder he could move through the forest so easily, without any trace of smoke or fire. It turned out that he had hidden his elemental aura in the countless ancient trees. This was not a bad train of thought and idea!
Since he had seen through the puppet Wizard's secret, the mysterious feeling that lingered in his heart was no longer there.
Grim smiled leisurely and continued on his way.
While he was silently spying on the puppet Wizard, the puppet Wizard was also secretly spying on his every move.
Flaming Leap was a very simple fire element movement spell, but only those who understood it would be able to understand it.
The advantages and disadvantages of Flaming Leap were very obvious, causing fire element Magi to both love and hate it.
The advantage was that it could teleport quickly. As long as there was no elemental barrier, it could freely teleport within one's field of vision, and the buffer time was very short.
The disadvantage was that the teleportation was accompanied by too obvious a spell signature. Before the teleportation, one had to summon a large ball of elemental flames, and the teleporter's body would disintegrate within the flames. After the teleportation, a ring of flames would explode in the area that the teleporter had chosen, and the teleporter's body would reassemble in the flames.
It was a very simple fire element spell, but the entire process was accompanied by a huge roar of flames and a dazzling ring of flames. Magi's enemies didn't even need to see, they just needed to follow the sound to easily find them.
Speaking of which, it would be very difficult not to find such a large ring of flames that had suddenly exploded!
Therefore, the concealment of Flaming Leap was simply too poor. Among all the short distance teleportation spells, it was undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
For a Magus, being eye-catching meant being exposed, and being exposed meant being in danger!
This was something that all Magi tried their best to avoid.
However, what the puppet Wizard really couldn't understand was how Grim could master Flaming Leap so quickly.
Although Flaming Leap was a simple spell, there was a very basic requirement for it to be cast. That was the elemental transformation of the body!
This was a hard requirement that could not be avoided.
Without elemental transformation, it would be very difficult to disintegrate and reassemble in the elemental flames. Without the disintegration and reassembly of the body, how could Flaming Leap cross a distance of a few hundred meters in an instant?
Therefore, Flaming Leap was the exclusive skill of fire element Magi.
But how many years had it been since Wizard Grim advanced? According to the family's information, he had advanced less than half a year ago. How did he complete the elemental transformation of his body in such a short time? Could it be that he was already elemental converted before he became a wizard?
It was precisely because he knew too much that the Puppet Wizard was entangled with countless questions in his mind, and it was difficult for him to find the right answer.
However, every sorcerer's own ability was their most secretive wealth. Outsiders were not allowed to covet it, so the puppet sorcerer could only suppress his many questions in the bottom of his heart and quietly hurry on with his journey.
Along the way, the two of them also met some other 'companions'. Everyone simply nodded in greeting before silently joining the group.
Very soon, this small team of five Magi arrived at the target area.
This was a slightly flatter and spacious valley. Although it was still filled with ancient trees and lush foliage, there weren't many shrubs and vines in the forest, so it became a temporary gathering point for the knights.
Groups of Demon Hunter Knights rushed over from all over the forest and gathered here. The noise of people and horses neighing could be heard clearly from miles away.
In the middle of the forest, the flag with the sword and shield fluttering high in the air was inserted into the ground. Under the flag stood seven especially strong and tall Demon Hunter Knights. Around them were more than thirty knights in bright armor and majestic auras.
