I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 91 Kill the mage first!

Wilder only has three chances to cast spells, and he can use them to counter his opponent to achieve the greatest effect.

Therefore, he did not want to make the first move.

Since Cyrion and Gru are close-combat fighters, Cyrion is very likely to be at a disadvantage if he goes first.

So, who is the best candidate to go first...?

Just then, a rare refreshing breeze blew into the underground nest, dispelling the unpleasant smells of earth and sulfur.

The space they were in was at the end of the tunnel, far from the entrance and winding.

Why is there wind?

Because the archer's arrows are always favored by the hurricane.

Lyle's figure had not yet appeared from the tunnel, but the glowing arrow marked with the second-level archery skill [Hurricane Arrow] had already arrived.

"call out!!!"

The arrow flew towards the enemy squad's ranger, Anna.

Indeed, rivals are the most common enemies.

However, Wilder believed that Lyle's choice was quite correct, as Ana had the ability to kill instantly and was the most unstable member of the opposing team.

The powerful level-two archery, imbued with the force of a hurricane, was magnificent but also easily attracted attention.

Anna, being a ranger, immediately noticed the arrows coming from behind her.

Surprisingly, she didn't dodge or even turn around; instead, she immediately nocked an arrow and drew her bow.

"call out!"

This arrow was shot at Wilder unexpectedly.

Hey!

Are you out of your mind to shoot me?

The agile and frail Wilder had no time to dodge, but fortunately, Cyrion rolled in front of him and caught the arrow with his oak round shield.

Wilder looked along the edge of the shield and saw that Anna hadn't been hit either.

Just as Lyle's arrow was about to make contact with her, it was blocked by a layer of pale yellow magic net and fell to the ground.

[Shield Spell]

The staff in the wizard Hogg's hand gleamed.

Thus, the first round between the two sides ended in a draw.

Wilder deciphered two layers of information.

First, the opponent's mage is more of a support type. Whether it's the [Shield] spell that was cast twice or the [Scout] spell that was cast secretly, they are both of this type of spell.

Secondly, the opposing team had an extremely high level of teamwork, and they were even willing to entrust their lives to each other without hesitation. This shows a great deal of trust, and they must have worked together on many missions.

Based on the two points above, he can only draw one conclusion—

Kill the mage first!

Of course, the opposing tactics were roughly the same, ever since Cyrion blocked that arrow for him.

Kill the mage first!

Therefore, Wilder used his limited mana to cast his first spell, Mirror Image.

A cloud of white mist rose up, tearing open cracks in the air. When the smoke cleared, four identical Wilders appeared.

"Good heavens, yet another new spell!"

This was the first time Cyrion had seen him use this spell, and he exclaimed in genuine admiration.

This way, he wouldn't have to divert his attention from protecting Wilder.

"superior!"

Cyrion took a step forward, his single-handed sword flashing out like a dragon, charging straight at Kant opposite him.

"roar!"

With a roar, Gru also swung his long-handled battle axe at his fellow warrior. The long axe and the short axe collided, sparks flying.

Lyle's figure was hidden in the tunnel, and arrows kept shooting out of the darkness.

The enemy Anna was in a slightly worse position, but with a mage protecting her, she boldly exposed her body and kept shooting at the battlefield.

With the three mirror images protecting him temporarily, Wilder began to charge up his second spell.

【Magic Missile】

As the crystal at the tip of his staff lit up, he shouted into the air:

"Kill the mage first!"

The opposing mage, Hogg, smiled slightly, unmoved.

The two warriors were tied down, the ranger's shooting position was limited, and the mage was far away, so he could immediately use a shield spell to block the spell the moment it was cast.

He is absolutely safe.

This is the source of a defensive mage's confidence!

Just then, a ghostly black shadow drifted past him.

Is it just my imagination?

The opposing team should be empty-handed.

Outside the cave, he used the [Reconnaissance] skill to covertly scout the area. He found that only one member of the opposing team was hiding in the treetops, so they remained vigilant about the tunnel entrance.

There shouldn't be anyone else here!

[Absolutely Hidden]

The Wanderer's Level 2 combat skill renders low-level reconnaissance spells ineffective against them.

That's right, Wilder's shout of "Kill the mage first" was originally directed at Joffrey.

At that moment, a black dagger was already pressed against Hogg's neck.

The icy touch sent his adrenaline soaring, and he gripped his staff tightly, activating the built-in charging spell.

[Mage Armor]

The dagger slashed from left to right, shattering the invisible armor instantly, but saving his neck.

He kicked off and immediately activated the second charging spell in his staff.

Apply oil to the soles of your feet

In an instant, his agility increased dramatically, enough to put him at a distance from the wanderers.

however.

The moment the dagger sliced ​​through the mage's armor, three deep pink missiles were already aimed at the gap in the magic network.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Even if you were to grease your feet and move incredibly fast, you still couldn't outrun a missile.

Hogg had no more defensive moves left, and three missiles pierced its neck.

"Hogger!!!"

The ranger Anna suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream, making it hard not to think that there was something going on between them.

"Then you two should go and meet."

Lyle seized the opportunity and fired a near-perfect Hurricane Arrow, aiming directly at the back of Anna's head.

Without the mage's protection, Anna had no chance to dodge and could only turn around and shoot an arrow based on her instincts.

That arrow was very accurate.

The two arrows collided in mid-air.

But one of the hurricanes, sheltered by the hurricane, was clearly more powerful and pierced right through the one that collided with it head-on, its force undiminished as it stabbed into Anna's head.

Anna fell to the ground with a thud, and the first person to scream was Gru:

"Damn! What a beautiful woman, what a waste!"

He brandished his long-handled battle axe, unleashing a furious rage that seemed genuine, making it increasingly difficult for Byrd to defend himself.

Cyrion and his opponent Kant were evenly matched, and the two remained locked in a stalemate.

Seeing his two teammates fall, Kant swung his two-handed sword in a sweeping motion, pushing Bird next to him:

"Retreat! There's only the ranger on the other side in the tunnel, kill him and rush out!"

After saying that, the two rushed towards the only tunnel entrance in the room.

Wilder saw through their intentions and followed instantly, the crystal at the top of his staff emitting a ghostly green light.

[Crown of Risk Control]

Instant cast!

A beam of green light suddenly struck Kant's back.

He froze instantly, then abruptly raised his two-handed sword and thrust it straight into Bird's back.

"Pfft—"

Bird collapsed.

"Kant, you..."

"I……"

Kant completed the attack, and the memories he had been possessed instantly flooded back into his brain, driving him almost insane.

"Pfft—"

[Forward stab]

The difference between intermediate warriors is small, but distraction can magnify that small difference infinitely.

In the instant Byrd went berserk, Cyrion's one-handed sword had already pierced his heart.
