Chapter 543 Volcano Mage

Chapter 543 Volcano Mage
……

"what?"

The moment Matthew saw the group of figures dressed as mages, a strong sense of familiarity emerged in his perception.

This sense of familiarity is not for this group of mages themselves.

But it is about the ether flowing in their bodies and the surrounding environment!
Two seconds later.

The skyfire surged and rolled, and the red fire cloud slowly descended like a forbidden spell of annihilation, as if it would burn the entire Shadow Castle to ashes in the next moment.

Yet the mages seemed undaunted.

One of the skinny mages took the initiative to fly forward seven or eight meters.

He had a thick black mask on his face, with only two crude holes dug in the eye sockets, allowing people to see his slightly small eyes.

"Your blasphemy?"

"When did the Devil Queen also master the Skyfire Realm of Baator?"

The man's voice was very young, but there was a strong sense of sarcasm in his tone:
"Or is this just a crappy illusion?"

The words fell.

A short, low whistle suddenly erupted from his Adam's apple!
In an instant.

A large amount of ether emerged from his chest and abdomen.

The strong wind blew up his wizard robe from bottom to top. In the fierce wind, countless tiny spell runes stabbed towards the fire cloud in the sky like sharp blades.

Soon.

The strong wind carried the sharp blade and collided with the heavenly fire.

The two sides just collided.

The "sky fire" that was so fierce just now disappeared in an instant!
"The Wind-Breaking Spell?"

Matthew's mood became a little subtle.

On the one hand, he could finally confirm the source of that familiar feeling——

The opponent used the famous illusion counter spell of the Seven Saints Alliance, the Wind-Breaking Curse.

This isn't a particularly rare spell; it only costs a few points to learn, and it's extremely effective against illusions.

The reason why Matthew didn't learn.

It is simply because this spell has certain requirements for the mage's area of expertise.

You must have a high level of attainment in both illusion and transmutation to master them and perform well in actual combat.

obviously.

Neither of these two areas has much to do with Matthew.

On the other hand.

"The other party is a wizard from the Seven Saints Alliance..."

This is also where Matthew's mixed feelings come from.

The Alliance Mage actually stood on the same side as the Dark Lord?
And according to Gracia's statement, the Dark Lord Beckman is in cahoots with Gasliwen, Garlan and Barbara?

Matthew would love to see the two sides fight each other.

But when people from the alliance got involved, the situation became even more confusing.

Matthew was eager to find out whether this was a private action of this group of wizards, or whether it represented the will of a higher-level legendary wizard or even a divine wizard?
And the other side.

Gracia obviously also noticed the other party's origins:

"The Seven Saints Alliance?"

"Which of the seven saints is your teacher?"

The man smiled but said nothing:
"I do not understand what you are saying."

The Lust Demon Queen snorted coldly.

next second.

She gently plucked a bright red flower from her shoulder, then stuck out her tongue, rolled it into her mouth and chewed it carefully.

at the same time.

Her pupils reflected a series of extremely profound images——

on the screen.

A large number of red flowers grew on the bodies of those mages. Their flesh became the breeding ground for the bright red flowers. Although they were not dead, they could only endure the squeezing and absorption of these purgatory flowers forever!

"Blasphemy: Curse the flowers"!
Matthew knows.

This was a very powerful curse, and when released in Gracia's hands, the effect was definitely better than that of an ordinary legendary curse.

It can absorb the physical strength, energy, mental strength, etc. of a living being, but the most terrifying thing is that it will devour the magic power of a living being.

This curse was originally developed to combat mages.

Once entangled by these flowers, even if you do not lose the ability to move on the spot, a lot of mana will be gradually consumed later, which is a very bad signal for mages.

In fact.

Matthew has noticed that dried flower buds have begun to appear on the bodies of many mages on the city wall!
However, these mages remained relatively calm.

No one was panicked by this.

They just silently added some resistance and buff spells to themselves and their companions.

A few seconds later.

Their leader stepped forward again.

He sneered disdainfully:
"Are these the only means available?"

Then he turned his head around his neck in a big circle. When he made the second circle, his head was suddenly broken off!
The head bounced twice in the wizard's hand and suddenly disappeared.

Followed by.

Countless similar heads actually emerged from the body of the Lust Queen.

They madly tore apart every part of Gracia's body, not only her clothes and flesh, but also the images that appeared in her pupils were swallowed up by those heads!

"roll!"

Gracia yelled.

In an instant.

Countless black flames surged across her body.

Her body also grew from the size of an ordinary person to more than three meters tall. The three pairs of wings that slowly opened behind her indicated that the Lust Queen had already unfolded her unique second form!
However, the head was also very cunning.

Faced with Gracia's attributes that soared suddenly in all aspects, he did not linger in the battle. Instead, after eating most of the cursed flowers, he quietly turned into powder and disappeared.

After a while.

The wizard's head returned to its original place.

The battlefield calmed down temporarily, as if the tense and dangerous magic confrontation just now had never happened.

"Parasitic Skull."

"So you are Ecmond's student."

Gracia's tone was much calmer than Matthew had expected:

"You are quite capable, but you are more impatient than I thought."

"I thought it would take at least two or three rounds to test your origins."

The mage laughed softly and said:
"Is there a possibility that I don't really intend to hide my identity?"

Gracia sneered:
"Then tell me your name!"

The wizard slowly took off his heavy helmet, revealing a face that was too young.

He looked like a boy next door, as if he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with an extremely childish face.

Only the bright eyes in the tiny eye sockets occasionally reveal a hint of maturity and wisdom that is inconsistent with her appearance.

"My name is Ailin, and I'm a wild mage."

"By the way, the spell of Parasitic Skull is not exclusive to Mr. Ekmond. In fact, its prototype comes from a spell from another world."

Wild Mage?
Not to mention the lustful queen with a sinister look on her face.

Even Matthew, who was watching, wouldn't believe it!
"How can a wild mage have such strength? This kid is too foolish..."

He couldn't help but curl his lips.

Matthew was not familiar with the name Ailin, but he had some impression of it.

This is a young rookie who has risen rapidly in the North after the Great Rip.

It was initially suspected that Ailin was an academic wizard similar to Hibbert, but he withdrew from the Far North Floating City many years ago for various reasons. On the surface, he was expelled from the Seven Saints Alliance and became a free wizard.

So it’s not wrong for him to call himself a wild mage.

But Matthew had learned about it from the gossip told by the mechanical dwarf David.

After leaving the Alliance, Ailin actually joined Ekmond's secret wizard organization, the "Snake Mountain Society".

This was the organization that Matthew refused to join. Matthew did not know what opportunities he had in the Snake Mountain Society afterwards.

He only knew about it for the past six months.

Arryn is quite active in the North.

His famous battle took place at the border between the Arctic ice field and the Far East, where he defeated seven ancient demons that crawled out of the Far East in one breath.

And in that battle.

It is said that Ailin snatched seven lava swords from the Amor volcano behind him and nailed the seven evil demons to death one by one.

Therefore, he was also called "Volcano Master" by northern poets.

Interestingly.

Matthew is no stranger to Mount Elmore.

He had previously visited Ecmond's Snakefang Castle, which was located on top of Mount Emor.

This means that the Volcano Mage's famous battle was fought right under Ekmonde's nose.

Both parties said they didn't know each other.

It's a bit shameless.

Not to mention that he used Ecmond's signature spell in front of the Succubus Queen, which was a bit too straightforward.

really.

Gracia asked in a grim tone:

"Is it Ecmond who wants to intervene in the war in Purgatory?"

"Or has the Seven Saints Alliance reached an agreement with the Tongluo Gods?"

A deep sense of helplessness immediately emerged on Ailin's face:
"First of all, I don't know any Ecmond."

"Secondly, I did join the Seven Saints Alliance, but I withdrew a long time ago. Now I have nothing to do with the alliance. Of course, I can't help it if you force me to associate it with you."

"Finally, my friend and I acted on our own behalf. We were paid to do something..."

the end.

He also winked:

"By the way, let me tell you a secret. The defense contract we signed with Mr. Beckman only covers our responsibility for countering the long-range spell interference from you and other demon lords."

"If you use close range or physical methods to attack, we will not interfere. You can rest assured that we are very professional."

Gracia's face darkened greatly when she heard this.

However, she did not continue to tangle with Ailin, but took the flag of conscription from the back of the Purgatory War Beast!
"Come on, war!"

"Come on, Flame!"

She waved the flag of conscription vigorously.

Countless halos fell.

The morale of the devil's army was raised to another level.

next second.

A vanguard force stood out from the crowd and rushed towards the gate of Shadow Castle at an extremely fast speed.

The army then slowly moved forward, step by step.

at the same time.

More portals also appeared on both wings of the devil's army.

The portal in the north leads to the plane of air element, and more air elements join the coalition.

From the south gate, highly armed tanks and airships rushed out.

These armed units exude a sense of sophistication and technology, and seem to be from a different era than Gracia's devil army.

Simultaneously.

Matthew also noticed that they had their own separate battle flag.

"That's the flag of Iron Duke Byrne!"

He was somewhat surprised.

The discord between the three giants of Baator Purgatory is almost an open secret.

Gracia's army and the Iron Duke's chariots appeared on the battlefield at the same time. Not only did the two sides not fight against each other, but they were able to fight side by side?

This is simply unbelievable!
"Could it be that the Blood River Will secretly facilitated the alliance between Gracia and Byrne?"

"But why would the Blood River Will do this?"

"Is it Beckman's plan that threatens Purgatory?"

For an instant.

Matthew thought a lot.

However, the situation on the battlefield will not stagnate because of his thinking.

In fact.

Just after Gracia waved the flag of conscription and led the army of the Air Elementals and the Duke of Steel to launch a full-scale attack.

The battlefield in front of the Shadow Castle quickly entered a white-hot state.

A large number of shadow creatures rushed out of the castle.

Fighting with the devil's vanguard.

Someone is dying every minute and every second!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Matthew heard a low horn sound coming from the castle.

After a while.

More doors were opened from the inside out.

Except for the wizards led by Ailin who were still wandering on the city wall.

One by one, powerful auras began to step out from the shadow core and appear on the battlefield—

The first is a centaur demon surrounded by a group of astral creatures.

Matthew recognized her true identity at a glance:
"Another eight-faced soul of Gasliwen..."

After them came a small army of monsters composed of alien creatures. Matthew sensed the breath of the Evil Queen Barbata among the monsters, but could not capture her specific location.

And closer to the shadow.

A group of evil monks appeared with strange tattoos on their heads and necks.

This is different from the normal monk's preferred on-foot movement.

This group of evil monks ride on a bunch of shadow slugs.

These slugs move extremely fast, especially in shadowed areas, and can even achieve a teleporting effect.

Matthew sensed several beings among them who posed a high threat index.

I just don’t know whether he is an elite character under Gailan, or a projection or clone of Gailan himself!

For a while.

The devil's army, iron chariots, air elemental soldiers, demon squads, alien creatures, shadow creatures and believers of dusk creatures fought each other frantically.

The battlefield outside the castle became extremely chaotic!
"Sure enough, Galen, Barbara, and Gasliwen have joined together, and they have connected with Beckman in some way."

"If Gracia came for Barto's horn, then what is Beckman's purpose?"

in chaos.

Matthew paddled to avoid possible attacks while trying to maintain careful observation and thinking of the situation.

But at this moment.

There was a sudden gust of cold wind behind him.

A reckless shadow creature suddenly appeared behind him, trying to attack Matthew.

Without waiting for Matthew to take action.

A huge meteor hammer suddenly fell from the side!
"You are welcome."

Carmela didn't even look at where the meteor hammer landed, and was about to attack another group of shadow creatures that were surrounding them.

But Matthew stopped her immediately:

"and many more."

talking.
