It was none other than the Chief Wizard, Kevin Gray, who always liked to slack off.
Kevin had given the mission of infiltrating the city to Bai Xiaowen. Grima and the other high-ranking members of the resistance army had seen this. Although they didn't say anything, they definitely despised Kevin.
Now that Kevin had volunteered to take on this tough nut, it was of course surprising.
Grima reacted quickly. It was a good thing that someone was willing to take the field.
"Master Kevin, I'm counting on you!"
Kevin nodded slightly. "But I need an assistant … Mr. Dior S Kail Bloom, please stay."
Grima was stunned. He then looked at Bai Xiaowen inquiringly.
"I'm fine with it," Bai Xiaowen said without hesitation.
Grima said happily, "With Master Kevin and Brother Dior, I'm relieved. The rest of you, follow me to the North Palace! "
"Do I have to stay too?" Li Shuyi asked Bai Xiaowen's opinion in a low voice through the team channel.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said through the team channel, "No, you follow the main group into the North Palace … As long as you can get some contribution points from killing Galantis, it'll be enough for us to complete the main mission. But be careful. Galantis is a Great Lord, so the guards around her should be very strong. "
Li Shuyi nodded slightly and followed the main group of the resistance army to the North.
In front of the Gate of Justice, only Bai Xiaowen and Kevin were left. As for Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures, they had already been recalled when they met at the city gate. When they weren't summoned, the summoned creatures' HP would slowly recover. Therefore, it was a good habit to recall them once they were out of combat.
"Master Kevin, I lost a lot of my summoned creatures when we killed the commander and patrol captain. I'm afraid they won't be able to contribute much in this battle," Bai Xiaowen said with a cough.
Kevin glanced at him and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you contribute or not, because the enemy's target is definitely you — unless you run away at the last minute."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "In comparison, I'm not as threatening to them as you are, right?"
At this moment, Judge Costello and Chief Judge Hurd of the Court of Justice also walked out of the door and stood opposite Kevin and Bai Xiaowen.
"Who would have thought that the most talented mage in the North would personally come to the North County … Kevin Gray!" Chief Judge Hurd, who was wearing a pointed hat and a robe with a silver cross, shouted in a dignified voice, "Kevin, why would a mage like you follow the rebels and betray the light?"
"That's right. I've never understood why Wizard Kevin, who is as famous as Dragontongue Wizard Seren, would abandon himself and become an evil person who betrays justice."
Presiding Judge Costello spoke. He was clad in silver armor and wielded a cross-shaped longsword in his hand. On his left arm was a light round shield with the emblem of a cross engraved on it. Behind him, his bright and clean cape fluttered in the wind.
Kevin sneered and said, "What is justice and what is evil? Only fools would be obsessed with these two meaningless words. Power is justice, and profit is justice. In the entire North, only the Usok can give me what I want. "
"Seren, one day, I'll leave him far behind. As for the two of you, if you dare to stand in my way, then prepare to meet your deaths. "
Kevin's voice became louder as he spoke. His feet floated in the air, and he actually left the ground and floated in the air! A faint layer of colorful light bloomed on the surface of his body.
"It seems that it's useless to say anything." Chief Judge Hurd shook his head slightly. The pages of the golden codex in his hand flipped and finally stopped on one page. He yelled loudly, "In the name of the Lord, purify the sinner before me!"
Bai Xiaowen instantly received a notification that Chief Judge Hurd's skill, Disciplinary Strike, had been activated. The target was Kevin.
However, when the light of the Disciplinary Strike struck Kevin, a layer of colorful light flashed on his body, and the light of the Disciplinary Strike dissipated into thin air.
"Kevin has an Arcane Shield on him …" Chief Judge Hurd's expression changed.
"He's using a levitation spell. The guards and I can't attack him," Costello said.
Kevin said loudly, "Hurd, with your shallow knowledge, you should know that my Arcane Shield can absorb any spell attack while it's active, as long as the power of your spell doesn't exceed my upper limit! Comparing our Spiritual Powers, it's basically impossible for you to break through the upper limit of the Arcane Shield. "
Hurd narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that he was angry, but there was nothing he could do. Kevin's Spiritual Powers were as high as 85 points, which was something to be proud of.
Kevin said leisurely, "This brother of mine from the Resistance Army isn't weak either. During the siege, he was the one who snuck into the city and killed your commander. If the two of us work together, you have no chance of winning! "
"I'm going to kill him!"
Bai Xiaowen was furious. However, the two leaders, Hurd and Costello, had already been led by Kevin to change their target.
"Kevin can't maintain his chanting and spellcasting while he's in a levitation state. He's not a threat. Let's get rid of this enemy first. "Hurd's expression was serious.
"Alright … Guards! Defend the dignity of the law! " Costello waved the Cross Bladed Guard in his hand. Instantly, the twenty Tribunal Guards rushed toward Bai Xiaowen like wild dogs that had been let loose.
Kevin didn't make a move. He crossed his arms calmly and watched the scene unfold.
Let's see how much you've grown … If you want to continue climbing the ranks of the Resistance Army, you have no choice but to fight! Kevin thought to himself.
Faced with the two Bosses and twenty Tribunal Guards of the Court of Justice, as well as Kevin, who was floating in the air and staring at him like a tiger watching its prey, Bai Xiaowen only had one choice.
He turned around and ran.
Bai Xiaowen activated the special effect of his shoes and ran very quickly.
In a split second, the Bosses and Tribunal Guards of the Court of Justice were stunned.
Kevin was also stunned.
"Dior S Kail Bloom!! You coward, what are you doing? "The veins on Kevin's forehead bulged." You're committing a crime by running away! If you dare to run again, I'll definitely report to the Usok and punish you according to military law! "
Bai Xiaowen didn't stop in his tracks and gave Kevin the middle finger. He didn't care if the natives of the Aaron Dimension understood the meaning of the middle finger. "Master Kevin, you can run with me. I don't mind."
"Bullsh * t!"
Kevin cursed. He was the chief wizard of Pointed Helmet City and a high-ranking member of the Resistance Army. How could he be as shameless as Bai Xiaowen?
Kevin was the one who took on the task of attacking the Court of Justice and appointed Bai Xiaowen to assist him. In other words, if Kevin also ran away and caused them to fail to take down the Court of Justice, he would have to bear the main responsibility …
"Come back!" Kevin roared. "You and I will take one each!"
Bai Xiaowen ran even faster.
As long as I run fast enough, my teammates' question marks won't be able to catch up to me!
Whoosh whoosh. Bai Xiaowen had already run to the end of a street and disappeared from everyone's sight after rounding the corner.
"If you just leave like that, I'll do my best to make sure you can't have a foothold in the Resistance Army!" Kevin roared. "I'll deal with the two of them. You take care of the rest of the trash!"
Ding. Bai Xiaowen's head popped out from a building at the corner of the street.
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"You swear?"
"I swear!"
"You've written a pledge?"
"…"
Before Kevin's face completely darkened, Bai Xiaowen slipped over.
"Hahahaha! Master Kevin, don't get so worked up. I'm just kidding. Leave these twenty or so Court Guards to me! Master, you just have to deal with the remaining two. I promise I won't let them interfere with Master Kevin's battle! "
Kevin snorted. He canceled his Levitation Spell and landed lightly with a thud.
He did not go back on his word. First, he canceled the Arcane Shield. Then, he waved his wand and covered himself with a layer of Ice Armor. Finally, he began to attack. A string of fine ice shards shot out from the tip of his wand.
He had no choice but to cancel the Arcane Shield. Although this layer of shield was advantageous against mages, it also consumed a lot of mental strength to maintain the shield. It was not suitable in an official battle. In comparison, the Inscription Spell — Ice Armor — was more economical and durable.
Biubiubiu …
Presiding Judge Costello, who was charging toward Bai Xiaowen, was suddenly covered in a layer of ice. His speed was greatly reduced! Costello had no choice but to give up on Bai Xiaowen, who was farther away, and charge toward Kevin, brandishing his longsword.
The Court Guards who followed behind him landed their melee attacks on Kevin. Before they could cause any damage, they were frozen into ice sculptures by the Ice Armor. The freezing effect lasted for five seconds!
The Court Guards were only elites. The innate weakness of their templates, coupled with the difference in their abilities, was the reason why the Ice Armor had such a domineering effect. This was also related to Kevin's Inscription Spell passive, which extended the duration of ice spells.
Costello, on the other hand, was much better. His movements were greatly slowed, but he was not frozen. Apparently, he had passed some kind of test.
However, Kevin's Ice Armor obviously had a limit. Every time he was hit by a physical attack, the frost on the surface of his body would weaken a little.
On the other side, Chief Judge Hurd cast the Punishment of the Command again. His target was still Kevin. The Ice Armor could reduce physical damage and freeze melee enemies, but it was useless against magic attacks.
Kevin snorted. Flames flashed on his legs! The Inscription Spell, Blazing Sprint, was activated. With a whoosh, he moved a few feet to the side, dodging the Punishment of the Command.
The first wave of Court Guards who had besieged him could not catch up for the time being. However, there were more than ten Court Guards following closely behind. Their goal was simple: to use their flesh and blood to deplete the remaining energy of Kevin's Ice Armor and provide Judge Costello with an advantage in the battle.
"Dior, oh, oh, oh —" Kevin shouted angrily.
"Coming, coming."
Bai Xiaowen did not stay on the sidelines. If Kevin were to quit in a fit of anger, it would be difficult for him. With a wave of his hand, the Butcher's huge body appeared on the battlefield. The 36,000 pores on the surface of his body spewed out poisonous gas at the same time, blocking the remaining Court Guards and slowing them down.
Bai Xiaowen took out his Desert Eagle and began to take roll call. His target was the first wave of Court Guards who had been frozen into ice sculptures by Kevin's Ice Armor.
These Court Guards' Health Points were basically full, which was just enough to trigger the special effect of the Blood Essence Stone! With Bai Xiaowen's Level-7 Shooting Specialty, it was easy for him to hit the Elite Court Guards who were fixed targets. It was almost a one-shot kill!
Bai Xiaowen happily harvested the five Court Guards' ice sculptures.
When the other Court Guards saw that their colleagues were killed, their hatred for Bai Xiaowen skyrocketed! They abandoned Kevin and quickly rushed toward Bai Xiaowen.
Whoosh!
They were greeted by a giant snake scepter that swept toward them. Fatty took a big step forward and blocked their way. It was as if he could hold back ten thousand men by himself.
The Court Guards could only attack Fatty. They were all high-level Elites with decent strength. However, when their attacks landed on Fatty, the damage caused was not high. They also had to endure the ravages of Fatty's poisonous gas.
Seeing Fatty show off his skills, Kevin was relieved. However, a greedy look flashed across his eyes.
The Soul Stone is so powerful … If I have such a zombie monster as a meat shield …
Costello had already caught up to him. Kevin could only put away his thoughts for now. He once again channeled Frost Shards to slow down his opponent. He then used Blazing Blaze to increase the distance between them. At the same time, he dodged another command spell from Judge Hurd and threw out an Ice Spear.
This Ice Spear was wrapped in powerful kinetic energy and directly pierced through Costello's chest. The latter's body was thrown back more than thirty meters! Bai Xiaowen could see that Costello's Health Points had dropped to 50%. He was also affected by the severe Ice effect that slowed him down!
Bai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat. Kevin, who had 85 points of Spirit, was indeed too powerful. Even a high-level Leader had lost 300 points of Health Points in one hit! If an ordinary Level-6 Awakened Hero Class were to take this hit, they would probably be crippled, if not killed.
Judge Hurd flipped open the codex again and shouted, "You will be saved by the Lord. You will be saved forever …"
A ray of Holy Light shone on Costello's body. The frozen wound on his chest and abdomen healed quickly. His Health Points also increased by a notch, recovering to 75%.
"Damn it …" Kevin gritted his teeth. Seeing that Costello had regained his vigor, he had no choice but to retreat. He used Frost Shards to slow down his opponent and slowly nibble away at him.
Compared to Kevin's predicament, Bai Xiaowen, who was only dealing with the Tribunal Guards, was much more relaxed. He knelt on one knee and held his gun with both hands. Bullets passed through the Butcher's crotch and fired wildly. The Tribunal Guards were unable to get past the Butcher's interception. Naturally, they posed no threat to Bai Xiaowen.
"Phew, another one."
Bai Xiaowen stopped firing and blew a puff of nonexistent smoke from his gun.
There were originally twenty Tribunal Guards, but now there were only three to five of them left. What was more shameless was that the Butcher's Health Points had also recovered to full. The death of a Tribunal Guard would restore 20 Health Points to it!
As for the remaining few Tribunal Guards, it would be enough to shoot them slowly. Anyway, there was still a long way to go before the outcome of the battle on Kevin's side was decided. Bai Xiaowen did not mind slacking off and observing Kevin's strength at the same time.
Kevin's face was a little pale.
