"Despicable mage!
Have a good taste of the wrath of a warrior! "
Sam was completely unaware that a death trap had been laid in front of him. After sensing that his target was not far ahead, he suddenly sped up. His whole body was like a cannonball as he charged forward with a malevolent expression.
First confuse the opponent with normal speed, then suddenly accelerate the moment he approached. Before the enemy could react, he delivered a fatal attack!
This was one of his most proficient attack methods, and at the same time, it was also his last method of attack. Many experts, because they were not used to this kind of speed changing technique in battle, ended up dying under his sword with disbelief in their eyes.
Although his eyes were still in a vast expanse of white and he couldn't see anything, Sam could still rely on his imagination to outline the old mage's panicked expression in his mind. Thinking that he had killed yet another powerful mage, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a pleased expression.
But the next second …
The terrifying ring-shaped flames instantly engulfed his entire body. His hair and beard instantly turned into ashes, and his exposed skin was burned in a large area. Even the black metal armor turned red and hot in a very short period of time, causing great damage to his body.
"Ah ah ah!!!
Fire!
How can there be fire here!!
Bastard!
It must be you damned mage playing tricks! "
The severely burned body brought great pain to Sam. Even if he had an iron will, he couldn't help but let out an angry roar. If not for his muscles having been trained to an unimaginable degree, perhaps he would have already been roasted half-cooked.
It must be known that burns were not stab wounds or slash wounds. It stimulated the nerves for a longer period of time, and the pain was also more intense. Otherwise, burning at the stake wouldn't have become the torture method used by Western religions to intimidate heretics in the Middle Ages.
However, unlike most people who were burned, Sam didn't shrink back because of the pain. Instead, like a fearless warrior, he rushed into the raging flame ring, raising the greatsword in his hand and fiercely chopping down.
"Hehe!
Brainless idiot!
Today, I'll let you experience the means of a mage! "
Uhtred, who had long been fully prepared, sneered and mocked. He immediately crossed his arms, intending to use Stone Skin to resist his opponent's chop.
But what he didn't expect was that when one of the giant swords came into contact with the granite on the surface of his body, a strong green light suddenly burst out, followed by a loud bang, and the granite splattered in all directions under the powerful impact …
Just as he had expected, the greatsword itself was unable to cut through the thick rock, but the flash of green light had penetrated the protection of the rock layer, forming a layer of strong acid on the fragile skin of his hands. In just a few seconds, it had corroded a large part of his skin and muscles.
As a treacherous and cunning mage, Uhtred naturally did not possess the tenacity and indomitable will of a warrior. He immediately screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "Ah!
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!
You actually have a magic weapon!
Someone come!
Someone come and help me! "
In fact, he couldn't be blamed for losing his composure, but the situation at hand was extremely critical.
Everyone knew that the hands were one of the most important organs in a mage's body, second only to the brain. If there was a problem with the hands, it meant that they would not be able to complete complex gestures, and this meant that they would not be able to cast more than ninety percent of their arcane spells. It could be considered a fatal blow.
"Hahahaha!
Weren't you very confident just now, wanting to show me the means of a mage?
You guys always think that you are very smart, but in the end, aren't you still dying under the sword of a warrior?
I want to see how many attacks the defensive magic on your body can withstand. "
Sam, whose entire body was covered with blisters and charred black skin, resisted the pain. He roared with a sinister expression while launching a berserk attack.
The two greatswords that an ordinary warrior needed to use both hands to wield seemed to be weightless in his hands. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the rock covering Uhtred's body disappeared, revealing his frail body underneath.
Of course, this was not without a price!
Every time Uhtred slashed, Sam would have to endure the damage and pain brought by the Fire Shield. Although his vitality was strong enough, he was still seriously affected, especially the ten fingers that were holding the sword, which had already been completely burnt.
Discovering that Uhtred's life was in serious danger, Carmen, who had been doing her job but not putting in any effort, finally couldn't bear it any longer. She directly raised her rapier and charged into the ring of fire.
Don't misunderstand, this wasn't because she was loyal, but because there was a clause in the agreement that if Uhtred unexpectedly died during the service period, then she would immediately be expelled from the material world by the power of magic.
In order to continue staying, the succubus had to ensure that her summoner was alive. At the very least, he couldn't die before finding and breaking this clause. Otherwise, she would have to return to the Bottomless Abyss with a vile environment, receiving the ravages and oppression of those powerful demon lords.
Due to the fact that demons had very strong fire resistance, Carmen wasn't seriously burned when she passed through the ring of fire. On the contrary, the rapier in her hand couldn't withstand the high temperature and instantly became scalding red.
Sam instantly sensed that someone had launched an attack from behind him. Without saying a word, he used his other greatsword to deflect the rapier. Without turning his head, he shouted, "Get lost!
Woman!
I don't have time to deal with you right now! "
"Hehe, I'm very sorry. I just happen to have time right now and want to play with you. I don't know if you're interested?"
Carmen didn't pay any attention to the old man's insults. With a charming smile, she once again thrust her sword. Her goal was very simple, which was to stall for time as much as possible. Once the fire shield's effect disappeared, the others would be able to rush in and besiege him. With the other party's current degree of injury, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Due to being unable to use the succubus form, her current fighting strength was greatly reduced. She couldn't even display a third of her strength. Especially all kinds of charm and summoning type innate spells. Once she used them, her identity would be completely exposed.
Sam clearly didn't expect that Carmen would be so difficult to deal with. Moreover, each of her attacks was aimed at a vital point. Flying into a rage out of humiliation, he kicked away Uhtred who had lost his ability to cast magic. Turning around, he said with a tone filled with killing intent, "Woman!
You're really tired of living!
You actually dare to challenge my bottom line again and again!
Very good!
Then I'll fulfill your wish! "
"Don't be angry, it's just a joke. Why are you so serious?
You must know that your exquisite martial arts and strong body have deeply attracted me. Why don't we go to the nearby forest and have an in-depth discussion about life? Why do we have to fight and kill? "
Seeing that Uhtred's life wasn't in danger for the time being, Carmen inwardly let out a sigh of relief. Smiling, she displayed her astonishing charm. At the same time, she inadvertently cast a charm spell in an attempt to disturb the opponent's mind.
