315: Chapter 315 Multiple Casting
The two of them discussed it for a moment and finally planned to retrieve the materials as quickly as possible and then leave.
The Fourth-Order Knight looked at the gray mist below and took a deep breath. Immediately after, Battle Qi flames erupted around him, and he charged into the gray mist like a streak of light.
Jonnamon followed closely behind, rushing through the path the Fourth-Order Knight had cleared with his Battle Qi.
But as soon as they entered the gray mist, various wizardry spells attacked them from all directions.
The Fourth-Order Knight gripped his rune-engraved sword, injecting a massive amount of Battle Qi into the blade.
A translucent Battle Qi blade several zhang long extended from the longsword. With a sweeping strike, the Battle Qi blade shattered all the incoming wizardry spells.
The Fourth-Order Knight landed on the ground, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked ahead. A humanoid shadow stood within the gray mist.
"Gelan, is that you? Stop attacking, I'm here to save you."
The Fourth-Order Knight shouted toward the shadow ahead.
But just as the Fourth-Order Knight was about to step forward, Jonnamon spoke up to stop him.
"Fowler, don't go. Something is wrong."
Jonnamon said with a solemn expression, staring ahead.
His Spiritual Power was slightly stronger than Fowler's, so he could see the oddities of that figure in the gray mist, such as those long, thin shadows in the air...
Fowler looked at the dark shadow with some confusion: "What's wrong? Is it not Gelan?"
Those wizardry spells just now were clearly used by Transcendents from the guild, which was completely different from a Corruptor's attack style. He was certain he hadn't misidentified that.
"No, it's not Gelan and the others!"
As Jonnamon's voice fell, various wizardry spells attacked again.
Jonnamon tapped his staff on the ground, and a golden light screen instantly rose from the earth, blocking the incoming spells.
"Look closely. Gelan has only just advanced to the Third-Order. How could his wizardry be this strong, let alone the spell intensity of the other wizards!"
Jonnamon narrowed his eyes and pointed his staff at the dark shadow ahead.
The pale golden gemstone at the tip of the staff lit up, followed by the appearance of a magic circle, from which a massive golden beam of light erupted.
While the golden beam pierced through the gray mist, it also allowed them to see the wizard, who was clad in a robe of flesh, possessed strange tentacles, and had a distorted expression.
At that moment, several multi-colored shields lit up around the Corrupted Wizard, blocking the golden beam.
"Gelan!"
Upon seeing the other's face clearly, Fowler was shocked.
He hadn't expected the Corruptor here to be him!
"This is a good thing. It seems we don't need to find anyone else to help us."
Compared to the sentimental Fowler, Jonnamon's expression appeared much more indifferent.
Especially after his good friend Hao Yan died last time and Vimos went missing, strength was everything to him. Otherwise, he would eventually follow in the footsteps of the others!
Now Gelan had suddenly become a Corruptor, but at least his strength hadn't broken through to the Fourth-Order.
With the strength of the two of them, and the fact that there were no living beings here for Gelan to devour, dealing with him would be much simpler.
As for the corruptive gray mist here, he simply treated it as one of Gelan's abilities.
The Corrupted Wizard did not stop. His powerful Multicasting ability was on full display. The moment the dark red suction-cup tentacles behind him lit up, various wizardry spells surged toward the two like an overwhelming tide.
Fowler's Battle Qi erupted, and the longsword in his hand, coated in Battle Qi, blocked the spells.
Although he was hit by some scattered spells, he was, after all, a middle-stage Fourth-Order Knight.
Moreover, the spells cast by the Corrupted Wizard were uneven. Even with the power of a peak Third-Order as a baseline, the low-tier wizardry could not fully utilize his strength.
At this time, Jonnamon tapped his staff on the ground, and a golden magic circle instantly appeared beneath the Corrupted Wizard's feet.
As dense gold elements quickly gathered, a large number of golden arrows gushed out from it.
The Corrupted Wizard's reaction speed was very fast. While multi-colored shields lit up on his body, he also flew upward at an extremely high speed.
However, under Jonnamon's control, the golden arrows turned in mid-air and continued to shoot toward the fleeing Corrupted Wizard.
Facing the attack of a Fourth-Order Wizard, the shields on the Corrupted Wizard's body were all shattered in an instant, and the sharp golden arrows pierced several large holes through his body.
However, besides his extraordinary casting ability, the Corrupted Wizard's self-healing speed was also impressive.
He had inherited some of the Human-Faced Balloon's abilities, which even surpassed Corruptors of the same order.
While the Corrupted Wizard's wounds were healing, his blood-tentacle suction cups released a large number of spells to cover the two of them, while Fowler and Jonnamon launched a counterattack in tacit coordination.
...
Next was a contest of endurance.
The Corrupted Wizard possessed extraordinary self-healing, but the wizardry he used was relatively low-level.
The two Fourth-Order Transcendents possessed formidable strength and suppressed the Corrupted Wizard for a time.
After a period of fighting, the Corrupted Wizard was ultimately no match for the Fourth-Order Transcendents. In a short while, his body was beaten into a ragged state, and he collapsed on the ground like a tattered doll.
"He really is troublesome."
Fowler looked at the Corrupted Wizard on the ground and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
If Jonnamon hadn't been present, it would have been nearly impossible for him to defeat the Corrupted Wizard alone.
There was no other way; this thing's self-healing ability was too strong, and the rune longsword in his hand wasn't specifically meant for Corruptors, so it was a bit lacking in power.
If the fight had dragged on for too long, he might have been worn down to death by the Corruptor in front of him.
Jonnamon shook his head slightly: "Fortunately, there were no wizards in the camp who specialized in high-destruction wizardry, otherwise..."
The Corrupted Wizard's disadvantage lay exactly in this point.
If he had been able to kill even two of the elite Third-Order wizards, it would have been a question whether they could have won.
Following that, Jonnamon took a sealing box out of his spatial ring.
The fastest way to kill a Corruptor was to use a high-order magic circle to grind them away. In any case, he didn't want to fight this fellow with the super-strong self-healing ability anymore.
But just as Jonnamon was about to seal the Corrupted Wizard, several sounds of something breaking through the air suddenly came from behind him.
Fowler's reaction was extremely fast, and he leaped to block Jonnamon's back, but he underestimated the strength of the newcomer.
At that moment, several blood-colored tentacles broke through the mist. Fowler was quick-eyed and quick-handed, parrying three of the tentacles, but the remaining two pierced through his left shoulder and abdomen.
Battle Qi erupted within Fowler's body, and he severed the two tentacles with one sword strike, then gritted his teeth and pulled out the blood tentacles that were burrowing into his body.
"A Fourth-Order Corruptor!"
Fowler looked at the round figure in the gray mist with lingering fear.
Only now did he understand why Gelan had suddenly become a Corruptor; he was clearly influenced by the Corruptor on the other side!
Jonnamon had already sealed the Corrupted Wizard and turned to look at the Corruptor opposite him with a grim face.
No wonder the intensity of the corruptive aura here was so high.
He had originally thought it was just one of Gelan's abilities, but who would have thought that a Fourth-Order Corruptor was actually hiding here!
