Lord of Arcane

Chapter 851

But this time, compared with the previous ones, in addition to the special group protection spells blessed by joint spell casting, Xia Duo also blessed everyone with flying spells through his own spell book.

However, he asked everyone to fly close to the ground and be ready to fall back to the ground at any time.

Now that the elves have appeared, let's make a quick decision!
According to Xia Duo's brief communication with other high-level mages just now, the elves do not have an absolute advantage in numbers, although it is a bit of a joke to talk about the number of battles in the magic world.

But this also reflects to a certain extent the degree of devotion of the elves to this war, at least there is no scene where the mountains and plains are full of elves.

Of course, if you want a quick victory, you can't rely on Xia Duo alone. He still knows the truth of shooting the first bird, and you must have the cooperation of other teams.

Therefore, in the process of advancing, Xia Duo would occasionally stop to contact other teams, ask the number of elves encountered by other people, and draw a simple distribution map of elves in his mind based on the positions of other people.

……

"Stop!" Xia Duo suddenly issued an instruction in the mind link.

"Xia Duo, what's the matter?" Niya asked, "It just stopped once, why did you suddenly stop?"

At present, in Xia Duo's team, except Xia Duo, no one else can actively transmit information through the soul link, but Niya has the ability to speak while maintaining concentration.

In order to greatly reduce receiving a large amount of information from the mind link, the others all chose to stay focused and not be distracted from speaking.

This is also an important reason why Xia Duo wants to make a quick decision. Human energy is limited, and maintaining concentration cannot last long, especially for these middle-level mages who do not have enough concentration training.

Once you can't keep your focus, not to mention the interruption of the mind link, even if the requirements for joint spellcasting are low, but when people are not concentrating, what is the tacit cooperation!

But at this time, Xia Duo didn't stop to communicate with other people, nor did he want everyone to rest for a while, but because he discovered something unusual.

Walking and flying all the way, although there were deviations in the middle, they still went straight to the target position after all. If the elves didn't even have this reaction, they might as well go back to the main plane as soon as possible!

For Niya's question, Xia Duo did not answer directly, but sent various instructions in the mind link, such as "Vincent turn left half a step", "Della look up" and other not obvious subconscious hints.

By adjusting the external observation window and perception angle of their team as a whole in this way, a large amount of repetitive information poured into Xia Duo's consciousness for a while.

After preliminary processing by Xia Duo's own subconscious mind, it was sent back to other people, and the feedback obtained was transferred to Xia Duo's side. After subconscious analysis, it finally reached Xia Duo's superficial consciousness.

Then he explained to Niya in his heart: "The connection between the front area and the etheric plane has been strengthened, and at the same time, the structure of the magic net has changed significantly. Great impact, I am considering whether to go in."

"What effect?" Niya asked.

"Those elven swordsingers' [Space Leap] will have no limit, but we—" Xia Duo doesn't need to say the following words, the two have already passed each other's guesses about the mission goals before.

If the target is a Mystic node and needs to be destroyed, at least it means that the Mystic is already partially in effect. If it is not a Mystic node, at least it is an area that the elves should focus on guarding against.

But the real situation is likely to be both, that is, it is both a fan lock node and is protected by key points.

But no matter what, the front area is definitely conducive to teleportation. Although they can cast spells to restrict the spatial transition of the elves, it will also affect their own teleportation.
It's really confusing!

In addition, changes in the structure of the magic net will also affect their spellcasting. Although the essence of this plane has not changed, they can still use the past spellcasting methods.

However, changes in the magic net will definitely make their past spellcasting methods inconsistent with the changed magic net environment, and there may be "resistance" or "assistance".

But no matter what, it will not be exactly the same as before. If there is no adaptation process, the success rate of casting spells will definitely decrease.

Without any hesitation, Xia Duo immediately shared the situation here with other teams in the support agreement, and asked others if they encountered such a situation.

But what he was waiting for was not an answer, but rescue!

"I'm Joyce, I encountered an elf mage, please help me!"

Elven Mage!

Xia Duo immediately lifted his spirits. Whether it was his own team or other teams, there were only druids and swordsingers, not mages.

He thought that the elf mages were guarding the mystic nodes, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to attack.

"Niya!"

Without Xia Duo's instructions, Niya has already cast the detection spell on her own initiative to find out the way for Xia Duo in advance, while Xia Duo himself casts spells to protect everyone, and blesses himself with protective spells alone, and then began to pay attention to Niya sent back from the subconscious Discovery results——

At first, he perceived confusion, but as Niya zoomed out, Xia Duo immediately noticed the strangeness of the surface. The jungle above seemed to be shoveled by a huge shovel, and even a tree could not be seen!

The flat gray-black land was exposed, roughly in the shape of a regular circle.

Where is Joyce?

Xia Duo was slightly puzzled, and Niya's perspective turned in one direction. In the center of her vision, Joyce and his party were sitting awkwardly at the foot of a big tree, and the flat gray-black land was a few steps away.

However, although these people were embarrassed, they still had a certain amount of protective power. Xia Duo could see that they were being protected by the [Protection-2-4] spell in the resonance spell book at this time.

This spell has a super strong defense, but its disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, it cannot move, and it almost isolates the inside and outside, so it cannot attack, it is simply a living target!

And on the other side, across the round gray-black land, the elf mage Joyce mentioned is there!

There are thirteen in total, and there are several druids and swordsingers guarding the side. As for the others, Xia Duo couldn't find them immediately.

On the magical level, Joyce could only defend passively, while the elves were constantly brewing some kind of mysterious attack.

Even if Xia Duo went through a few rounds and "seeed" from Niya's scouting spell the strings of the magic net that were constantly rolling and distorting and spreading their influence, there was still a feeling of trepidation.

This time, Xia Duo didn't send it immediately, but waited for other people's reactions. This is also human nature. After all, if you want to take a risk for a stranger, even if there is an agreement in advance, you will still hesitate.
