Casting spells

Seeing this scene, Zhang Cheng felt his scalp go numb, and he directly gave up his plan to continue using arcane missiles to slowly grind the opponent to death, and began to prepare for the most powerful and destructive fireball technique.

With the distance created by the flash just now, he had enough time to complete one or two fireball preparations, so only two or three seconds later, the dazzling fire burst out from the palm of his hand.

Melroas, who is a water element, is undoubtedly very sensitive to flames, and immediately felt the threat, urging the water to roll forward.

But before it was halfway there, a scorching fireball flew towards it and hit it hard on the face.

boom!

The violent explosion and high temperature completely destroyed the parts including the head and torso on the spot.

Perhaps for ordinary flesh and blood, such an injury is enough to cause immediate death, but for elements, this ordinary injury is no different.

In the blink of an eye, the evaporated part grew back, but the size shrunk a little.

No fear, no pain, no deadly parts...

This is why when mentioning elemental life, no matter if it is an alliance or a tribe, they will feel a headache.

Just imagine, when a warrior swung his sharp blade to chop off the head of an earth element with full confidence, he suddenly found that the opponent hadn't fallen down, and even smashed his ribs with a fist the size of a sandbag. The expression on his face should be How exciting?

Unfortunately, Zhang Cheng is now facing such a situation.

He must exhaust the energy supporting the water elemental form in front of him before his mana is exhausted, exposing the part called the core of the element.

Of course, this is not easy, especially since there is no water element in a relatively fixed form. Unless the water that makes up the form is evaporated in large quantities, it is impossible to judge where the core of the element is with the naked eye.

The only good news is that before the summoning, he had already set several traps in the basement that stored arcane energy.

Before he could take a few steps, Melroas stepped on one of them in an instant, and the dazzling arcane energy formed a cage composed of beams of light in just half a second.

Although it only took five or six seconds to break free with the terrifying water knife, Zhang Cheng used this time to release two big fireballs in a row, abruptly destroying the originally tall shape to only two meters high. .

And located in the center of the torso, a piece of dark blue substance like a sapphire flashed away.

Although the time was very short, Zhang Cheng still caught it keenly, and at the risk of being split in half by the water blade, a flash rushed forward, swung his arm in, and released a burst of flames.

boom!

With a muffled sound, the dark blue substance flew out and fell to the ground with a bang.

At the same time, the body of the water element seemed to have lost its vitality, and suddenly turned into flowing water splashing in all directions.

"Huh... it succeeded! I succeeded!"

Zhang Cheng didn't care about the wet robe at all, excitedly rushed over to pick up the elemental core called the ball of pure water, put it next to a crystal clear soul gem, and chanted loudly what is needed for the imprisonment ceremony spell.

Under his guidance, the notches on the ground slowly glowed with lavender light. After a while, the ball of pure water shattered, and a translucent soul of the water element floated out of it, and was finally sucked into the treasure. Drilling into...

Chapter 39 Taming the Elements

Feeling the cold touch emanating from the diamond from the inside out, Zhang Cheng realized that Melroas' soul had been imprisoned inside, and from time to time broke out fierce resistance, trying to break through the obstacles and return to the elemental world.

But it is a pity that it is only in the state of soul, and it can do nothing to the densely packed protective runes on the surface of the diamond. After repeated attempts, it actively stopped struggling and waited for the two angry eyes to connect through the spirit. Roared: "Mortal! You have no idea what you have done! If the Duke of Hydraxis knows that you have imprisoned his warriors by despicable means, he will order all the Hydraxian water elementals to hunt you down until time the end of."

"I agree with your point of view. But the question is, do you think I will let him know?" Zhang Cheng shrugged with a nonchalant smile.

Undoubtedly, successfully completing the imprisonment of the water element for the first time made him feel quite good.

As for whether it will lead to hostility with the water element of Hydracia, he doesn't care.

"What is your purpose?" Seeing that the threat had no effect, Melroas put away his violent temper and asked coldly.

Zhang Cheng pursed his lips and responded in a slightly contemptuous tone: "Purpose? My purpose is very simple, that is to become your master. And you will become my most loyal..."

Before he could finish speaking, Melroas immediately yelled crazily: "You are dreaming! I! The great water elemental warrior! I will never bow to mortals!"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm afraid this is beyond your control."

After smiling meaningfully, Zhang Cheng placed the Soul Diamond in a silver box engraved with mysterious symbols, gently closed the lid, then sat down at a random place, picked up the "Herbal Cultivation Guide" and relished it. flipping through.

After about half an hour, he threw the book aside, opened the lid of the box and took out the Soul Diamond, and asked in a tone without emotion, "Melroyas, tell me, have you changed your mind?"

"Yes, great master, I am your most loyal and trustworthy servant." The empty and emotionless voice of the water element echoed in his mind.

There is no anger, no resistance, and no furious roar, but only submission and obedience.

For those who don't know the reason, it may be difficult to imagine why Melroas, who had maintained an arrogant posture not long ago, suddenly became like this.

The answer is simple, the small silver box is actually a magic item, weaving memories forcibly through illusions and mental stimulation, and finally achieving the purpose of making the elemental souls obey their will.

As the city of magic, Dalaran has in fact mastered a series of methods to control the elements, not to mention a mere water elemental warrior, even if the Duke of Hydraxis came in person, he could not escape the fate of being enslaved.

Seeing that the brainwashing was successful, Zhang Cheng immediately used his little magic power to summon the soul of the element imprisoned in the diamond.

With the sound of splashing water, Melroyas appeared in front of him again.

But this time, the huge water elemental didn't make any attack, and just stayed in place quietly, as if waiting for the order to be issued.

"Is this the feeling of gaining power and controlling one's destiny? No wonder so many mages lose themselves in the process of pursuing powerful power. This addictive feeling can't be described in words..." Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes and couldn't help expressing emotion .

You must know that summoning and controlling elements does not only mean the improvement of combat effectiveness, but also the improvement of the mage's power.

The moment he just completed the summoning, he gained two more talent points, and at the same time learned to "make mana agate".

This also means that, judging by the standards in the game, his mage level has risen from level 26 to level 28. Whether it is the upper limit of his own magic power or the power of spells, he has been enhanced in an all-round and three-dimensional way.

Immersed in the wonderful feeling for a few minutes, Zhang Cheng immediately forced himself to wake up. While recovering his mana with the help of the ubiquitous magic nodes in Dalaran, he took out the hot flame essence and prepared to imprison the next elemental soul.

After all, with the help of Melroas, coupled with the convenience of his own frost talent, he believed that it would not be difficult to defeat a fire elemental of comparable strength.

But before the summoning ceremony started, he heard a knock on the door upstairs, followed by a voice belonging to Little Jenny coming in through the crack of the door: "Sir! Mr. Mage! Someone is looking for you!"

"Looking for me? Who is it?" Zhang Cheng froze for a moment, then hurriedly asked loudly.

"One is the Garrick you know, and the other is his friend Frank." The girl replied truthfully.

"Garrick and Frank?"

Zhang Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling, quickly put away the flame essence, canceled the summoned water element, grabbed the soul gem and stuffed it into his pocket, opened the door and walked out of the basement.

As soon as he crossed the threshold and came to the living room, he saw two young men walking around anxiously, especially Frank's body was covered with dust and dust, his eyes could not conceal his fatigue and anxiety, and his arms were still wrapped in bandages. , seems to be injured.

"What's going on? Did something happen?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.

"Holy light! Mister Mage! I've seen you! I beg you, find a way to save us. Not long after you left, those damned undead surrounded the town from all directions, pouring into the town In just a few days, all the cats, dogs, pigs, horses, chickens and ducks we keep in captivity have turned into human-eating monsters. In recent days, some people have also experienced similar symptoms. I'm afraid... I'm afraid The Stratholme tragedy is repeating itself in our town!" Frank was obviously very excited, and described it quickly incoherently.

"Throwing the plague? Have you told the archmages about this?" Zhang Cheng's face turned gloomy instantly.
