Mage? Spell Engineer!

Chapter 14 Battle at the Nameless River

Facing the arrow, Rorschach drew a large amount of magic power, condensed the most "strong" mage's hand so far, and knocked it to the ground.

The arrow that hit the ground actually liquefied into puddles of dark green thick slurry and splashed, and the grass where it splashed emitted black gas.

Strongly corrosive?

Singer was a melee warrior and could only avoid the thick slurry on horseback, while Hill tried to fight back with a crossbow. But her mount's front hooves were splashed with a bit of liquid, and it moved in pain, interrupting the ranger's movements. The knight immediately launched a second round of shooting.

The flying arrow came again, and suddenly stretched out a big hand made of flames from the sky to grasp the poisonous arrow. The high temperature burned the palm of his hand and a thick smoke came out. When he let go, there was no residue left.

【Burning Hands】

Rorschach inserted "Elemental Conversion (Fire)" between the "Magic Condensation" and "Repulsion" of [Mage's Hand], giving the Mage's Hand composed of magic power the form of fire. At this time, his temples were buzzing, and Rorschach felt that he had consumed a lot of his magic power twice.

Does the mage have a blue bar? Even the current panel doesn't show it, but the limit of spellcasting does exist. The basis of spell casting lies in the individual's endogenous magic power. When the spell is cast to a certain limit, the caster will accumulate fatigue and phantom pain.

Just like running, people who rarely exercise may find it painful to run a thousand meters, but those who maintain exercise habits are much better. However, professional marathon runners are significantly different from ordinary people in terms of speed and endurance. The gap in the amount of endogenous magic power and spell casting speed between low-level mages and legendary mages is greater than that between ordinary people and athletes.

When a person reaches his limit, pain will be felt in the muscles mobilized by running, the chest respiratory tract, and the abdominal diaphragm. When the caster reaches the limit, his mental "lactic acid accumulation" will hinder his thinking and concentration, and his brain and The whole body will be in pain.

Rorschach experienced the magic of overdraft on the first night of time travel. Fortunately, he passed out quickly enough and did not feel the full pain. But now he felt tired and felt that his limit was approaching.

On the other side, the knight leader Leopold gathered his team, and the seven cavalrymen drove their horses to turn around.

"Run away?" Singer estimated that the heavily armored war horse would only sink into the mud when wading through the water. Could it be that the opponent judged that they could not cross the river and retreated their troops first?

"No, they are taking a circuitous route, keeping distance and preparing to charge." Hill judged that everyone else was very nervous when he said this.

Rorschach braced himself, preparing and taking aim.

Hill took out his gun and the dwarf tightened his grip on the hammer.

Da. Da.. Da! Da! Da da da da da da.

With acceleration visible to the naked eye, the knight unsheathed his long sword, clamped his legs on the bank, and the heavily armored war horse rose into the air, intending to jump across the river! In the dusk, Luo Xia could clearly see the green light coming from the gaps in the horse's armor.

Rorschach kept concentrating his magic power and threw a fireball at the moment when the knight jumped to the highest point, right above the river. As his most powerful spell, he did not target a certain knight, but instead smashed the energy ball condensed by fire into the river.

boom!

Explosions and steam hit the knights, and three unfortunate ones who were slower were blown back to the other side, and the men and horses were separated. Seeing a war horse fall to the ground, it melted into dark green juice just like the previous arrows, leaving only the horse armor.

Under such a commotion, the fallen war horse just stepped on the ground, and his own horse did not panic and lose control.

They are all good horses.

After bracing himself and looking around, Rorschach realized that he had intercepted half of the knights.

The good news is that he won the highest KD in the game with one serve; the bad news is that this is the last serve.

Rorschach almost fell off his horse, and now the strong nausea was rising and it had reached the extreme.

If he used the primary decomposition technique, Rorschach could cast it all night without stopping, but the three spells just now were all concentrated with maximum power and had already drained his own magic power.

Singer and Hill saw that Rorschach was in a bad state and stood by him. Mr. Ale drew out a straight-edged sword and confronted him.

The ranger fired at a knight, and the projectile hit the horse's head. The armor shattered and exposed the rotten wound.

Except for Leopold, the other two knights were also in poor condition. The steam liquefied when it came into contact with the skin, releasing a large amount of heat. The exposed skin was completely red.

"You are better than the innkeeper's report." Leopold was at the front of the charging formation and was the least affected. He said in a low voice: "For the Great Mother!"

"For the Great Mother!" The two knights responded with difficulty, grabbing a handful of herbal powder from their pockets and swallowing it. What they ingested was the powder fed to the horses before setting off.

The effect was immediate, and the injured knights changed from pain to joy and excitement. They drooled and chuckled uncontrollably, tapping their horse armor with their long swords.

"They're going to attack."

Without waiting for instructions from the team leader, the two young men charged directly towards Luo Xia. Although the acceleration distance was not long, they were still very fast and stepped forward one after another.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Singarev, who had not made a move until now, suddenly exerted his strength. He clamped his legs to make the horse lift up its front hooves. He swung the long knife that flew into the air and chopped it off. When the opponent was stunned for a moment, he twisted and exerted force, and swung the sledgehammer again. It hit the knight in the face.

The knight dodged sideways, and the war hammer hit the horse armor hard, causing an explosion. It turned out that the dwarf was wielding a gunpowder hammer!

Singarev used the force of the recoil to pick up and smash down again.

A sudden sound.

Metal struck each other, and Leopold arrived in time, interspersed between the dwarf and his men, and used the angle between the blade and the sword to hold the hammer handle.

"I can use more than one blast from my explosive hammer!"

The dwarf exerted force again, raised and struck the hammer in a short stroke, and the hammer exploded on Leopold's blade again, shocking the opponent almost to the point of letting go. Leopold tightened the reins and retreated.

The rider on the other side faced off against Hill, the half-elf dodging nimbly and using his dagger to deflect the opponent's blade when necessary. The knight who had no results became even more agitated. Mr. Ale, who was assisted in the battle, seized the opportunity, raised his cane and sword and stabbed at him.

The knight easily dodged the merchant's attack, but at this moment the knight suddenly kicked off her mount. She stepped on the head of the opponent's horse, swept across with her other foot and chopped directly on the opponent's neck, beheading the knight under the horse. . Even the nearest Mr. Ale didn't see clearly how this series of actions was done.

His teammates created a breathing space for themselves, but it was not enough. Rorschach is now like a drowning person, suffering from oppression, pain, suffocation, and difficulty concentrating, making it difficult to complete more complex spellcasting.

Want to try it?

The dwarves watching Leopold's battle gradually fell into a disadvantage. It was obvious that Singarev was swinging his hammer slower and slower, while Leopold showed no signs of fatigue and became more and more courageous as he fought.

Try it. In a state of uncertainty, Rorschach decided to take the risk.

[Magic Drive], the target is yourself.

The magic in the environment was squeezed into the body, and Rorschach felt as if he had fallen into boiling water, which was twice as painful as before.

But he was awake, extremely sober. Perhaps it triggered the body's protective mechanism, or perhaps it was the consequence of the rampant magic in the body, especially the nerves. Rorschach felt that his thinking was extremely fast, and he could release spells with just one thought.
