Arcane Universe - Chapter117

Feng Chou continued to run as he took out scrolls from the leather bag at his waist (actually, it was Qiankun Pagoda) and activated them continuously.

First, it was the Righteous Qi.

Morality: Level 5 Divine Spell. The target's body becomes huge, Strength + 40, Constitution + 20, + 3 Defense, + 3 Protection from Evil.

Next was the Advanced Deflection Field.

Greater Deflection Field: Level 4 Spell. Creates a repulsive force field around the mage. Any entity or energy that enters this area will be repulsed and deviated from the target.

He activated the healing ring on his left hand, and a Moderate Heal spell quickly healed the damage he received.

Feng Chou then activated magic rings, bracelets, anklets, necklaces, and other magic items.

"Greater Mage Armor", "Brute Force", "Featherweight", "Tenacity", one buff spell after another was cast on him.

Greater Mage Armor: Level 3 Spell. Adds a layer of force field armor to the mage. Its defense is equivalent to + 3 Black Steel Plate Armor. Because it is a force field effect, there are no gaps or blind spots in the defense of physical armor. Incorporeal creatures cannot pass through this force field armor.

Brute Force: Level 2 Spell. Increases the target's strength by 20 points.

Lightness: Level 2 Spell. Increases the target's agility by 20 points.

Toughness: Level 2 Spell. Increases the target's Constitution by 20 points.

Finally, he pulled out the two-handed longsword on his back and roared as he turned and charged towards the goblin wolf riders.

Hogan did the same thing as Feng Chou, but his magical equipment was obviously not as many as Feng Chou's. He only used a scroll to buff himself with the Rainbow of Morality, and then activated a few low-level magical equipment such as [Brute Force], [Agility], and [Counter Enemy].

The two of them turned and charged into the group of wolf riders. With the protection of magic, they took the brunt of the attacks and slashed hard. One heavy blow after another, and in the blink of an eye, the goblin wolf riders were defeated.

After dispersing the goblin wolf riders, Feng Chou had Hogan stay behind to hold back the two Troll while he used a scroll to replenish his defensive spells. He then crouched down and charged towards the goblin musketeers behind him.

More than twenty bullets instantly rained down on Feng Chou's body amidst the dense gunfire. First, it was the high-grade mage armor, followed by the high-grade deflecting force field. Under the concentrated attack of the + 3 enchanted bullets, they crumbled one after another. Fortunately, the defensive spells bought him enough time to kill his way into the group of goblin musketeers.

Feng Chou did not hesitate to unleash the full White Raven Sword Style. He was invincible among the goblins.

After a shower of flesh and blood, the collapsed Gnome flintlock soldiers scattered in all directions.

Most of these goblin musketeers were only equivalent to a Level-2 or Level-3 human warrior. When Feng Chou, who was a master swordsman with a full arsenal of spells, got close to them, they were like a ferocious tiger charging into a flock of sheep.

Feng Chou did not give chase as the goblin musketeers scattered in all directions. He took out a few more spell scrolls from Qiankun Pagoda and replenished his defensive spells.

Although it seemed like he was going on a killing spree, it was actually extremely dangerous. Most importantly, the bullets that the goblin musketeers fired were all + 3 enchanted bullets!

+ 3 enchanted bullets, in addition to the power of the musketeers themselves, were close to the power of a Level-4 single-target spell at close range.

Under such powerful attacks, the high-grade mage armor was shattered in just two shots. The Level-4 deflecting force field could only block seven or eight bullets. This was because the deflecting force field was effective against long-range physical attacks.

Fortunately, although the Level-5 divine spell "Rainbow of Morality" only provided a Level-3 defense, its durability far exceeded that of a Level-4 spell. It helped him block a dozen more bullets.

If there had been more goblin musketeers, they would have broken his defensive spell first. The consequences would have been unimaginable.

These goblin musketeers were quite experienced. They were close to Feng Chou, and unlike the wolf riders, their aim was poor. Their bullets were accurately aimed at Feng Chou's limbs and the gaps in his helmet. If Feng Chou's protective spell had been broken before he charged into the group of goblins, three to five bullets would have been enough to take him down. One bullet would have been enough to hit the gap in his helmet and take his life.

Feng Chou had thought that escaping would not be difficult because he did not expect the goblins to have + 3 enchanted bullets.

Fortunately, they did not find any priests above Level-7 in the battle.

After casting a defensive spell on himself again, Feng Chou heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Hogan.

Hogan had already stepped on two Troll.

This was not surprising. For Hogan, whose total profession level was equivalent to that of a Level-10 warrior, and who had the support of a Level-5 divine spell, subduing two Level-6 Troll was a piece of cake.

Feng Chou came in front of Hogan and looked down at the two Troll. Their limbs and necks were all broken.

This kind of injury was definitely fatal for a human, but for a Troll, it would only take a few minutes to recover.

Of course, Feng Chou would not give them the chance to recover. He took out two crystal balls the size of ping pong balls. The crystal balls were wrapped in a layer of hollow magical gold shell. The shell was densely engraved with complicated magic patterns.

These two crystal balls were magic items specially used to collect the essence of Troll. They were Level-1 magic items.

After Feng Chou took out the two crystal balls, Hogan took two steps back and let go of the Troll under his feet.

Feng Chou used his longsword to cut a cross-shaped wound on the chest of one of the Troll. Then, he aimed one of the crystal balls at the Troll's chest and whispered a few complicated syllables of a spell.

A ray of light shot out from the crystal ball and fell on the Troll's chest. The Troll trembled violently and his green skin quickly turned gray. When the Troll stopped struggling and died, his skin had turned into a corpse-like gray-green color.

The light from the crystal ball dissipated. Under the hollow magical gold shell, the originally translucent crystal ball had turned into a dark green gem.

Feng Chou took out the second crystal ball and did the same thing to the other terrified Troll.

After absorbing the essence of the Troll, Feng Chou threw the second crystal ball to Hogan.

Hogan took the crystal ball and seemed a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth, but did not say anything in the end and kept the crystal ball.

According to the rules of the mercenary world, whoever was more capable and contributed more in the mission should get the bigger share. Feng Chou's performance in the two battles was better than Hogan's. In the battle just now, if not for Feng Chou's wealth and superior swordsmanship, if it had been Chorre, the two of them would have been skinned even if they did not die.

According to the rules, Feng Chou did not have to share the spoils with Hogan.

Feng Chou's forthrightness made Hogan feel good about him.
