Monsters are the failures of the gods, and they are also the outcasts of the gods. They may have far more physical functions than humans, but they can't use magic. The only ones who can make Afuri and the others feel the fluctuations of magic, except for priests, are only mages.Perhaps the elves and dragons can also be counted, but Ai Fuli and the others will not associate the hostile magic fluctuations in front of them with these minority races.

The time for them to think is only one or two seconds. Both Avery and Augustine are not people who have not experienced battles. They already hold the staff firmly in their hands. Going out, the latter will immediately build a protective barrier of "blessing and blessing".

Two powerful waves of magic collided together, the groom screamed, the horses in front of the carriage also neighed, the whole carriage shook violently, with a bang, the wood splashed out, and the carriage was shattered, while Dantonio, who was in charge of taking care of Yannick, He had already left the carriage with the person in his arms, and moved aside.

The carriage at the back was also hit and cracked, and the four priests jumped out of the carriage with the immobile Sophia, posing in a fighting posture.

"You take her back to Garter from the magic teleportation circle first!" Avery ordered.

He knew that Yannick had a good personal relationship with the Regent of the Garter Empire. Chris also took good care of the Imperial Church when Yannick was not in Garter. He explained that in Avery's mind, the Central Holy See was far less reliable than the Garter Empire, the latter was their stronghold, while the former had to face political enemies with malicious intentions.

When the four priests heard the order, they dragged Sophia and ran in the direction of the Church of the Charlemagne Empire without further entanglement. Avery and the three of them, together with the unconscious Yannick, had to face the four enemies in front of them.

To be exact, it was four mages.

And they are all great magicians.

The faces of the four people were very strange. Avery followed Yannick and met many mages, but the four people in front of him were not included. Although the Magic Guild was not under the jurisdiction of the Charlemagne Empire, the Magic Guild was originally a very loose alliance. With the power and status of Fonso VIII, it is not difficult to find four mages who are willing to work for him.

Avery and Augustine are comparable in strength to the great magician, but there are four of them on the other side, and they are only two. Dantonio is an intermediate magician, and the difference in strength is too big to be ignored. More importantly, they have to Take care of a wounded who is defenseless.

This battle is going to be tricky.

Avery and Augustine looked at each other, seeing worry in each other's eyes.

"Zachary!" D'Antonio actually knew one of them, "As a noble mage, you actually worked for Alfonso VIII. My teacher is His Excellency the Saint of Law, Graham. If you dare to kill Without us, my teacher will not leave it alone!"

D'Antonio's teacher is Saint Grema of France. Normally, this kind of threat is very effective, but now the four people clearly want to kill people. D'Antonio didn't expect to scare the other party, but just hoped that they could Just delay a little longer.

The great magician who was named by him laughed sullenly twice: "Boy, if you die here, I will remember to burn your body, so that no one will find out!"

Two coachmen were lying on the ground, one was injured by the collapsed carriage just now, the other was trampled by the horse, they had already passed out and did not know if they were still alive.

However, it is impossible for Avery and Augustine to go to help them heal their injuries now. Avery looked around vigilantly, and suddenly found that the area the drivers passed was very remote in order to take a shortcut, even if there were any pedestrians Passing by, he was already scared away by the accident just now, and his hope of asking for help fell through. This may have been calculated by King Alfonso VIII long ago, intending to cull them here in one fell swoop.

The four great magicians have also finished their observations. The other party has only one bishop and a high-ranking priest. The fighting power is not their opponent at all. Thinking of this, the four of them have already decided to make a move. Zachary directly threw a water mist surgery in the past.

Water mist is the most basic water spell, but as the mage's ability improves, it will also take on different forms. At Zachary's level, his water mist can be used at will. If Yannick was still awake, he would have seen that the free water vapor in the air was gathered under the control of the mage, and soon formed a layer of milky white mist, completely covering Avery and the others, blocking their sight.

At the same time as Zachary made a move, the ground under Avery's feet was cracked inch by inch, and a soil blade made of mud was drilled out from the ground, stabbing the standing people, and Dantonio had to dodge around in embarrassment with Yannick in his arms. , At this time, a billowing heat wave hit the top of the head. Looking up, balls of flames fell from the air one after another. If Augustine hadn't opened the shield in time, they would have been burned to ashes immediately.

The two attacks from the sky and the ground are far more than that. Layer after layer of wind blades broke through the water mist and rolled in from the outside, pushing back everyone's robes. The most amazing thing is that these wind blades did not Blowing away the water mist made the white mist thicker, making it difficult for people to identify the enemy's position.

Only then did Dantonio discover that the opponent's four great magicians have mastered the four magic elements of wind, earth, water, and fire. Whether it's his sealing technique or water arrow attack, it seems that they can't hurt the opponent at all, because The magic was thrown out, and his sight could not penetrate the thick water mist. He didn't know whether he hit the target or was resolved.Even if there is a Fasheng teacher, it does not mean that he has the capital to be complacent, especially now, he is deeply aware of this.

Augustine didn't have as much thought as he did. Seeing this situation, he was straightforward and threw out "Bright Shining" one after another, regardless of whether they hit the target or not, and the range gradually expanded. Anyway, the purpose must be to hurt the opponent. .

Ai Fuli took out the teleportation scroll from the magic bag. In this case, the teleportation scroll is the best life-saving magic weapon, but he did not expect that after he spread the scroll and read the spell, the scroll did not change at all , the group of them still stood in place.

Outside the water mist, someone sneered and explained his confusion: "We know that you are going to pass this way, we have already cast enchantment spells here, there is no need to waste those scrolls, just accept death!"

The other party obviously planned carefully, and Alfonso VIII was really well-intentioned. If the assassination failed, he would lie in ambush and wait for them. In short, Yannick must be killed, and the Holy See must be instigated to completely break with the Charlemagne Empire.

The four great magicians on the other side happened to guard the four directions, completely blocking the possibility of them escaping, and Ai Fuli stopped talking nonsense.

The two sides come and go, attacking magic and defensive magic come out at the same time, it depends on who can't stand it first and who will collapse first.

The whole street was almost covered by the light of magic, with these people as the center, flames burst out one after another, white light magic, red fire magic, blue water magic, and from time to time because of magic The violent explosion sounded by the collision of waves, the light was dazzling, almost illuminating half of the sky, and the loud roar was also deafening.

But no matter how alarming their movement was, no one was alarmed.

Perhaps the four great magicians had already expected to plant a barrier of the Silencer Curse around here, and perhaps Alfonso VIII had done something to prevent those people from hearing the movement here at all.

But these conjectures are meaningless now. If he can survive today's battle, he will report to the Central Holy See and instigate a complete break between the Holy See and the mage!Alfred thought fiercely, but then he thought that Alfonso VIII had already turned into a monster, and the Holy See still didn't know anything about it, so he couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly.

Time passed minute by minute.

D'Antonio also joined the war. Although his strength is weak, he is better than nothing. It is not useless to learn from the Dharma Saint. At least he has learned a few useful mid-level attack magics, and the foundation of mid-level mages is also very solid. , as the battle time prolongs, he completely abandons the fancy magic that looks good but is useless, and directly attacks with a water arrow, focusing on the fire mages among the four.

The sky filled with water arrows fell from the sky and shot at the opponent, regardless of whether the opponent had shield magic or not, as long as Dantonio's magic power was maintained, he kept throwing magic, and he couldn't see the enemy's situation through the water mist, but later, The fire magician's attack weakened a little, obviously because of D'Antonio's interference. He could only cheer up, mobilize the magic power that was about to be exhausted, and barely survived.

Avery and Augustine's faces were very ugly, and their magic power was about to bottom out, but they had no way to stop, because as soon as they stopped, the other party would launch a more violent attack.

The four great magicians were also not uninjured, but they had an advantage in terms of numbers and overall strength. In the end of the war of attrition, it must be Ai Fuli and the others who suffered.

The silver-haired priest was placed aside, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he showed no sign of waking up. Because his injury was too serious, Avery and the others couldn't heal it completely just now, so the wound was still flowing at a slow speed Blood, which made Avery and Augustine even more anxious. If this continues, Lord Hill may die from excessive blood loss before they are killed by the mage.

A pessimistic atmosphere gradually spread. Although no one spoke, everyone understood that they were likely to die here tonight.

D'Antonio was panting heavily, and his hand holding the staff was shaking, which was a sign of running out of magic power, until there was no way to cast a full spell again, he sat down on his buttocks, sweat running down his cheeks Flowing down, blurred vision.

"What?" he asked the other two.

Avery and Augustine turned their backs to him and didn't speak. One of them defended and the other attacked, and they continued to insist.

D'Antonio wiped his face, and left the fate to the goddess of fate, let's die.He thought to himself, anyway, the dangers he had experienced before were enough to kill him many times.

Another meteor shower fell from the sky, and the fireball turned into a meteor and fell down. The target was Dantonio and the others. Avery couldn't hold it anymore. The defensive barrier became very weak due to insufficient magic power, and it could only block most of the flames. Outside, a small part broke through the barrier and smashed towards them.

D'Antonio quickly dragged Yannick aside, avoiding the silver-haired priest being burned to black coals.

They all thought that there would be an attack of greater scale and intensity next time. After all, everyone had survived until now, and the other party must know that they had reached their limit.

But the expected attack magic did not appear again, instead they heard a scream.

D'Antonio thumped in his heart, and immediately got up. He didn't forget to pull up the silver-haired priest and hug him in his arms, so as not to be hit by another fireball.

But they didn't wait for the fireball or other magical attacks, what they waited for was another scream.

At this time, a great magician's terrified voice sounded: "You evil devil!"

The water mist dissipated, and Ai Fuli and the others discovered that only two of the original four great magicians were left, and the other two were already lying on the ground. One had a broken neck, and the other had a big hole in his chest. They were probably dead. One of them is a water mage, so once he dies, the water mist technique cannot be maintained.

Not far from Avery and the others, stood a man in aristocratic robes. The two surviving great magicians watched him approaching step by step, and barely controlled the desire to retreat. Zachary collected himself and said: "According to As far as I know, the relationship between vampires and the Holy See is not good, we just want to kill these priests, it has nothing to do with you, if you don't hinder us, we can provide you with a generous reward."

vampire? !

D'Antonio was taken aback, and looked at the man carefully, and found that he was a bit taller and wearing a long cloak, and there was nothing special about him. If it wasn't for Zachary to reveal his identity, D'Antonio O would never have recognized his vampire status.

But as Zachary said, the relationship between vampires and the Holy See is not good, why does this vampire want to kill the mage instead?And judging from the situation just now, the two great magicians failed to hold on to each other for a while, so it is not difficult to understand why Zachary and the others are afraid.

The vampire didn't speak, nor did he look at Dantonio and the others, but just walked towards the two mages.

"Earth blade attack!" With the command, the ground under the vampire's feet burst open, just like the attack Avery and the others had received just now, the blade made of condensed stone pierced through the ground and stabbed him fiercely.

But in the eyes of everyone, the figure of the man suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared, Zachary's neck was already pinched, his staff fell to the ground, and he let out a scream from his throat, and was quickly pinched by the man and dropped on the ground.

The other great magician saw that the situation was not good, and he couldn't care less about the assassination mission. He hurriedly took out the magic scroll from the magic bag to escape, only to find that this area had already been enchanted by them, and the magic scroll was completely useless. , This is purely self-inflicted, but now it is too late to regret it, he turned around and ran away without saying a word, but obviously this kind of behavior was completely futile, before he ran ten steps, he felt a chill behind him, and then bowed his head Looking down, I don't know when there was a hand on my chest, and that hand was holding his heart, which was warm and still beating.

The mage opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and after pulling out that hand, he fell to the ground.

As early as when this man appeared, Ai Fuli and the others raised their vigilance, but now they have no energy to run, and the magic scroll can't be used. They can only stand there, waiting for others to decide their own fate.

Just getting rid of the entanglement of the mage, and about to fall into the clutches of the vampire, Ai Fuli was going to despair. He would not naively think that the appearance of this vampire was specially to save them.

And it turns out that the way those mages tried to negotiate with the vampire just now is also unworkable.

What does he want to do?

Are you going to die here tonight?

Ai Fuli and the others all had such a desperate idea, they could only watch helplessly as the bloody bloody man walked towards them step by step.

The vampire seemed to be walking very slowly, but in fact it was very fast. In a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of them, and then Dantonio felt that his hands were empty, and the silver-haired priest in his arms had been snatched away.
