When Baiyi brought Mia to the town gate, he saw that the large open space where the caravan had gathered was already filled with a large number of devils. However, most of them were brainless Fallen and Gogs. For that reason, Baiyi cast two Invisibility Spells on himself and Mia and stealthily moved closer to them. At the same time, he also found an ideal ambush point.
Taking into account some of the habits of the devils, after weighing the pros and cons, Baiyi decided to let Mia launch the first attack and told her where to release her magic.
After that, it was the scene that the female devil witnessed.
"Well done, Mia!" After Baiyi had intercepted the black lightning that the female devil had cast, his Invisibility Spell had also lost its effect. Both of them were facing a large number of devils that were still increasing. Mia looked a little nervous but Baiyi still had the time to praise her.
"Alright, let's move to the next step now!" Baiyi said as he took out his own Saint Quartz Staff from his storage pouch. Together with Mia's incantation, both of them pointed their staffs at the group of Gogs at the same time and shouted the name of the spell in unison, "Rapid Fireball!"
One after another, fireballs flew into the group of Gogs. After a series of violent explosions, the long-range firepower of the enemies was no longer as effective and the town behind them was temporarily safe.
"This is the strategy that we sorcerers use in a chaotic battle. First, the weakest target, then the long-range target that could threaten us, and then …" Baiyi continued to explain, turning a small town defense battle into a live lesson.
"Run!" Mia said the last word on behalf of Baiyi. After that, both of them ran towards the direction of the small forest on the left side of the group of devils. The place where they were standing just now was hit by two black lightning bolts, causing a large pile of gravel and mud to fly up.
"Next time when you want to run away, cast some spells that will make it easier for you to run away or wear some clothes and shoes that will make it easier for you to move around. Don't just focus on looking pretty, "Baiyi said to Mia who was being carried under his armpit as he ran. The little girl was wearing a skirt-style sorcerer's robe and open-toed sandals on her feet, making it very inconvenient for her to run. So, after just a few steps, she was carried away by Baiyi.
"Do you still remember what I've said before? There were only three reasons that prevented a mage from destroying an army single-handedly: First, insufficient mana. Second, insufficient mental strength. Third, insufficient distance. So, what should I do now? "Baiyi continued with his lesson.
Mia seemed to have come back to her senses. She reached into her storage pouch and took out a few plates of potions. She raised her head and gulped them down.
"Just running won't be enough to destroy the enemy. We have to fight back, and we have to work together." Baiyi was satisfied with the girl's performance. He put her down and patted her head to show his encouragement. "I'll deal with the big ones. You deal with the small ones."
With that, the two of them turned around at the same time and released spell after spell at the demons that were chasing after them. With the cover of the forest and the darkness of the night, the two of them fought and ran. At the same time, they were teaching their lesson. The spells that were of different attributes blasted the low-level demons into a complete mess. The surrounding forest looked like it had been plowed. Collapsed trees and burning trunks were everywhere. Corpses and the unique green blood of the demons were splattered all over the ground. For a moment, no more demons dared to chase after them.
Mia's face was a little pale. She was panting heavily as she leaned against Baiyi. Even though she had sufficient mana, her Psychic Energy had just entered the Advanced Level. It was her first time facing such a situation. After a series of intense and exciting high-intensity spells, her Psychic Energy was completely exhausted and she had a splitting headache.
Still, she was excited. This was the first time they had fought side by side. Baiyi's meticulous care and patient guidance during the battle made her feel even more excited. At the same time, she felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
It feels so good to be able to protect everyone with Mr. Hope … Suddenly, a thought popped into Mia's head.
Baiyi, on the other hand, was more straightforward. He was still busy preaching …
"This is what I've said before. The battlefield is different from the arena. An excellent sorcerer should learn to choose his spells. Don't blindly release those high-level spells. You must first estimate the intensity of the battle, the approximate duration of the battle and the necessary range of power. Then, you should choose some low-level spells to attack the weak targets to buffer them. Many of the spells that you released just now were wasted." Baiyi massaged her temples as he said, "Other than that, the enchantments on the scrolls and equipment are also very important. They can effectively reduce the energy consumption of your body. It's just that today's battle was too sudden and I wasn't prepared for it …"
Rubbing her face against Baiyi's palm, Mr. Hope, did we win? Mia frowned as she endured the headache and asked. "It's still early.
This is also the next point that I want to talk about. Never underestimate your enemies, especially the devils. One of their biggest characteristics is that they are not afraid of death. They like to use the low-level devils as cannon fodder to exhaust the enemy's strength. Look … "Baiyi pointed his finger at the group of devils that was still standing still. There were no Fallen and Gogs there anymore. Instead, what was left were at least ghouls, longhorns, minotaurs and those kind of high-grade Intermediate monsters. Those were the real backbone of the battlefield.
Mia followed his line of sight and looked over. Her slightly relaxed mood immediately tensed up again …
Of course, Baiyi knew this habit of the devils so he decided to bring Mia along to fight together with him so that she could gain some experience. After all the weak devils were killed, the vivid combat lesson would come to an end. It was no longer suitable to bring Mia along for the rest of the battle. Letting her hide in the forest, Baiyi reminded her, "Remember to hold on to your sharkie. Be careful not to bump into the barrier."
"Ugh … I'm sorry, Mr. Hope. I'm so useless." Leaning weakly against the foot of a big tree, Mia tilted her head sideways like a wife who was about to send her husband to the battlefield. Her eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Baiyi.
"Mia, I like your kindness and I admire your willingness to fight to protect others. However, all of this is built on the foundation of power." Baiyi seized the opportunity to instill the idea of pursuing power into Mia's mind. Squatting down, he tidied her hair that was messed up because of the previous battle and continued, "This is also the last point for today.
If you want to protect others, you must first have the power to protect them. Right now, you don't have this kind of power but it's alright. Let me take your place. "
Having said that, he stood up and with an indomitable determination, he walked towards the army of devils alone.
"Mr. Hope, you must be careful too!" Mia whispered as she looked at Baiyi. She had already taken out the hammerhead shark plushie and it was rubbing her temple on behalf of Baiyi. A Walker had already descended.
Suddenly, a thought appeared in her mind. The thought of fighting side by side with the silhouette in front of her … Previously, the driving force that pushed her to move forward was to chase after the golden silhouette but this time, it was replaced by the black silhouette.
Baiyi did not know that the change in Mia's heart had finally happened. At that moment, he was standing in front of the group of devils, sizing up the female devil in the middle. His gaze was focused on the emblem on her chest.
It was the head of a devil whose face was so ferocious that it could even stop a child from crying at night.
Clap clap clap! The female devil clapped her hands at Baiyi and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face as she said, "What an interesting person! You actually dare to stand in front of me alone? Standing in front of me, Evelyn, the most beloved servant of Lord Thaas? " As she said that, she licked her lips with her snake-like tongue and continued, "I like people like you. I like your courage. It gives me the most intense pleasure. It's a pity that you're just a Soul Armature. Otherwise, I'd be willing to give you some pleasure as a reward …"
She continued to ramble on and on, not in a hurry to let the devils attack Baiyi. Naturally, Baiyi did not have the mood to pay attention to her flirting. Instead, he was discussing the name that she had mentioned earlier in the Void — The Lord of the Abyss, Thaas.
As one of the most powerful Demon Lords in the Endless Abyss, there was no doubt that Thaas's power was unquestionable. At the same time, he was also the most brutal and belligerent among the three Demon Lords. He was also the one who posed the greatest threat to mankind. His claws and fangs were also the most frequent invaders to the human realm.
However, according to the memories of many Walkers, the greatest enemy of mankind in history should have already died. So when the female devil said that name, the Cleric, the Devil, the Engineer, and the Apprentice all exclaimed in the Void at the same time, "This is impossible!"
According to their memories, when the ferocious and tyrannical devil was about to feast on the Cleric's soul, he was severely injured by the self-detonation of a group of devout souls. After that, he was betrayed by the Devil along with the other Abyss Lords. After spending a lot of effort to get rid of the traitors, he had to recuperate for a very long time. His power was divided by the other two Demon Lords. In the end, the humans seized the opportunity when he had not fully recovered and launched a counterattack. In the end, he died in the realm that he ruled.
The Engineer Walker was one of the members of the Abyss Expeditionary Force at that time. Although he did not manage to escape from the spatial turbulence when the realm collapsed and became a Void Gentleman, he saw with his own eyes that his marionette, with the help of the other strong human beings, tore the devil's body into pieces. At that time, there was also the people from the Church's Judicial Court present. There was no way that the devil could have survived. At the very least, it would have been banished to the Void.
As the youngest Voidwalker, the Apprentice Walker had naturally read about this part of history in the history books.
