Everyone in the camp was awakened by the shrill scream. One by one, they rushed out of the wooden huts. The first thing Asa and the others did was to cast illumination spells everywhere. Seven or eight white light balls flew into the sky, illuminating the camp and its surroundings, but they couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
Han Jin happened to see the backs of Irwin and the other young people. He couldn't help but be shocked. Those figures gave him a feeling of death. Everyone else was moving closer to each other, but they just stood there, motionless!
"Enemy attack!" Chipango ran over with a ferocious face. He pointed at a place and said, "The Abyssal Ghost Snake! There's an Abyssal Ghost Snake there! "
Yalina was approaching Han Jin. Her expression changed when she heard this. She had a lot of inexperience, but in terms of knowledge, even the old men in the God's Language Magic Academy couldn't compare to her. She knew what kind of magical beast the Abyssal Ghost Snake was!
Yalina raised her wand, and a ball of lightning fell from the sky. It hit the ground and turned into a circle of electric arcs that spread out.
"Roar …" A deafening roar sounded, and an enormous creature suddenly appeared on the seemingly peaceful grassland. It looked similar to a wyvern in appearance, but it was dozens of times larger. Also, the wyvern was grassy green, while the Abyssal Ghost Snake was pitch black, like the deep night sky. There were even fluorescent lights flowing on its surface, like a cluster of bright stars.
However, the Abyssal Ghost Snake's proportions were a bit off. Its body was like a duck, and its flapping wings were very short and pitiful. It probably couldn't fly. Its neck was like a snake's, thin and long, and looked very agile. Its head was triangular, and its snout was as sharp as a sword. It gave off an extremely vicious feeling.
The Abyssal Ghost Snake didn't have scales. Its whole body was covered with short fur, and the fluorescent lights were emitted by the fur.
Morrisons, Léger, and the others all let out a sigh of relief when they saw the Abyssal Ghost Snake's appearance. Although the Abyssal Ghost Snake's neck could stretch up to a dozen meters, and its clumsy body was even bigger than the Hydra from the other day, most mercenaries had the ability to recognize and judge magical beasts. It was a basic skill.
Speaking of which, it was very simple. What magical beasts like the Gale Wolf, Flash Leopard, Earth Bear, and so on relied on could be seen from their appearance. For example, no one would think that Tree Demons relied on speed to hunt. Even if one saw a Tree Demon for the first time, that pair of almost unrecognizable legs was enough to prove many things.
All Magical Beasts had to abide by the rules of survival. After countless years of reproduction, the abilities that Magical Beasts relied on had long since become traceable. As long as one had a pair of bright eyes, they would be able to guess.
The Abyssal Ghost Snake's body was too clumsy. It only had two short legs, and its neck was too thin and too long. This meant that the Abyssal Ghost Snake didn't have strong melee abilities. It was more like a magical beast that was more suited for water. In this forest, its threat was greatly reduced. As for magic, they had a magus. Other than a dragon, no other magical beast could suppress a magus in magic.
"Roar …" The Abyssal Ghost Snake roared again. Since its tracks had been exposed, it or they didn't have anything to worry about. It simply strode forward. However, the Abyssal Ghost Snake swayed as it walked, like a funny drunk man.
But Yalina didn't laugh. She raised her wand again, and a dozen magic detection rings exploded inside and outside the camp. This kind of magic had become a necessary prelude to her battle. Then she activated the camp's defensive magic circle and yelled with all her might, "Come back! Back off … "
Following the Abyssal Ghost Snake's footsteps, the ground shook violently. A few dumbfounded figures near the fence fell down one after another, and in the next moment, their bodies were smashed into pieces.
Yalina was stunned, Asa was stunned, and the young magicians were all stunned. Then Asa rushed forward with a roar, "Irwin …"
A few other magicians rushed up with Asa. They were eager to know what had happened to their companions. But at this moment, a flame suddenly lit up in front of them, and then turned into a raging sea of fire.
Yalina didn't have the time to chant a spell. She could only cast an ice wall as fast as she could, blocking in front of Asa and the others.
With a boom, the sea of fire crashed into the ice wall. It only paused for a moment before the entire ice wall collapsed and turned into countless ice shards. But this little bit of time was enough for Asa and the others to regain their senses. They released magic shields at the same time and desperately retreated.
The raging sea of fire swept across a distance of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, swallowing Asa and the others. The female magicians and deacons who had retreated to the back couldn't help but scream.
When the fire dissipated, Asa and the others stumbled out. Asa and the other two magicians were in good condition. Although their magic shields had become very dim, at least they were still protected. The last magician, on the other hand, had turned into a man of fire. He desperately struggled, ran, and screamed.
"Come back!" Morrisons roared, and jumped up to help Asa.
"Come back!!" Yalina's terrified scream was even louder than his, because she knew the Abyssal Ghost Snake's special ability. For a seventh-grade warrior like Morrisons, there was almost no chance of him being immune to the curse. If he was hit, he would die!
"Master! That Abyssal Ghost Snake has already cast four curses, and it's still underage! "Chipango roared as if he was reporting his achievement.
One figure after another appeared on the hillside, and quickly rushed over along the path that the Abyssal Ghost Snake had opened for them. A few thieves suddenly appeared outside the camp. Yalina's magic detection halo hadn't disappeared yet, and they just happened to bump into it. But they were very unscrupulous, and just swaggered into the camp with daggers in their hands.
Yalina took a deep breath, and forcefully swung her magic staff forward. A ball of lightning shot out and hit the body of the Abyssal Ghost Snake with lightning speed. It immediately turned into countless arcs of lightning that flowed in all directions, and finally formed a huge net that firmly trapped the Abyssal Ghost Snake and the two people on it.
The people on the Abyssal Ghost Snake faintly let out a cry of surprise, and then forcibly opened a magic shield. But the magic shield's effect was only to spread the net a little, and it couldn't destroy it.
"Raphael!" Yalina yelled in a low voice, and then concentrated on chanting a spell.
Han Jin raised his hand and threw out three talismans, and three wooden golems appeared out of thin air to protect Yalina. He didn't rush into the battle, and just stood there quietly observing the situation. On one hand, he knew that Yalina was very weak when casting powerful spells, and on the other hand, he didn't have time to make a new flying sword. Instead of killing them one by one, it was better to protect Yalina first.
A green light flashed, and the thieves who had jumped into the camp were tightly bound by green vines that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The arrogance on their faces instantly disappeared, and they were all shocked.
"How is this possible?!"
"It's the Treant's Arrow …"
Sunier's figure appeared next to a wooden shed. She drew her bow and aimed at the thieves. Although she wasn't as strong as Edwina, shooting targets was no doubt very easy. Plus, they were just thieves who couldn't move. Every arrow she shot caused a rain of blood to splatter.
The mercenaries were getting closer and closer. Although the Abyssal Ghost Snake had been trapped by the net, and the thieves in front of it had been killed one by one, they still looked very relaxed, as if victory was already in their hands. Some of them even had smiles on their faces.
"Hurry up and run …" Suddenly, a lazy voice came from the flickering electric net.
The mercenaries were all dumbfounded, and they all turned to look at the Abyssal Ghost Snake, which they could only make out the outline of.
With a loud bang, a ten-meter-long dragon made up entirely of flames appeared, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it pounced on the electric net.
"What are you waiting for? If you don't want to be killed by the Nine Lightning Call, this is your last chance, "the lazy voice continued.
The mercenaries scrambled to turn around and run down the hill with all their might. It was a stark contrast to their previous fearlessness. Obviously, they hadn't been so relaxed just now because they were confident in themselves.
The flying fire dragon tore at the net with all its might, and the net's light dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Unfortunately, Yalina's spell was about to be completed!
"You're in luck, and this Magister isn't as stupid as people say." The lazy voice sighed. "But … it doesn't change anything."
Yalina didn't want to bicker with anyone. Ten thousand words weren't as powerful as a spell. She slowly raised her wand, and the sky suddenly lit up. Streaks of lightning poured down like giant pillars, smashing into the ground and the grass. Deafening explosions sounded one after another, and broken branches and dirt flew everywhere.
The place had turned into a world of lightning. All they could see was flashing lightning, and all they could hear was roaring thunder!
It was different from another powerful lightning spell, Chain Lightning. Chain Lightning could unleash all of its power in an instant, but Nine Grid Thunder Call required a certain amount of time to cast.
As Yalina's magic staff slowly fell down, the flashing lightning finally subsided. What was even more shocking was that there was nothing left except for the devastation that filled their eyes! The giant Abyssal Ghost Snake and the two people on its back had all disappeared without a trace!
Yalina gritted her teeth and released a dozen magic detection rings. Gibran, who was running over, happened to be affected by the rings and revealed himself. He hurriedly stood there and raised his hands to show that he didn't mean any harm. "What's wrong? What happened here?! "
(Day after day, I'm so dizzy! I really want to write a few thousand more words in one go and update in two days. That way, I can adjust my schedule, but the more I rush, the harder it is to write. I'm going crazy …)
