Chapter 102: [Ice Ray]

On the other side, the battle between Ma Qieyi and the Earth Magic Bat leader was still continuing, far from being as easy as Gao De's side.

After all, under the blessing of 【Blessing】, Gao De's side was equivalent to briefly possessing two Rank 0.5 magic users, which could cause a certain "rank" suppression on these Rank 0 Earth Magic Bats.

And the battle between Ma Qieyi and the Earth Magic Bat leader was a real Rank 1 vs. Rank 1.

Between the flapping of the Earth Magic Bat leader's wings, a gust of wind was stirred up.

At the same time, it opened its giant mouth full of fangs again, and a strong energy gathered in its mouth.

Then it sprayed out suddenly.

It was a cone-shaped gravel rain that was airtight, and under the urging of the strong wind, the speed of the gravel increased sharply, carrying a sharp whistling sound, shooting toward Ma Qieyi like dark weapons covering the sky and earth.

It was also at this time that a layer of magic fluctuation rippled open, constructing an invisible shield around Ma Qieyi.

All the gravel, when it was about to touch Ma Qieyi's body, was like being blocked by an invisible barrier, falling or bouncing off, unable to cause any damage to him.

Gao De recognized this spell.

【Shield】! The battle was still continuing.

Just when the Earth Magic Bat leader relaxed its vigilance slightly, an ice crystal fragment quietly flew out from the gravel scattered everywhere.

Like a cold ice blade, it cut through the air and went straight toward the Earth Magic Bat leader.

This was another killer move of Ma Qieyi.

Using the opponent's offensive for his own use, covering the traces of the spell, so as to catch it off guard.

Whether it was strength or adaptability, Ma Qieyi was worthy of being a magic user of the law enforcement team.

The Earth Magic Bat leader clearly had no defense against this sudden counterattack, and the flapping of its two wings became urgent and disorderly in this instant.

It tried to dodge this fatal ice crystal fragment through high-speed movement.

However, everything was too late.

The ice crystal fragment drew a perfect arc in the air, like the sickle of death, accurately slashing on the right wing of the Earth Magic Bat leader.

The moment the ice blade touched its right wing, a biting cold penetrated its skin and reached its bone marrow.

However, this was not over yet.

Crack!

A crisp cracking sound erupted in the air.

The ice crystal fragment suddenly burst at this moment, turning into dozens or hundreds of fragments, sweeping across the Earth Magic Bat leader's body, bringing up small wounds one after another, and covering it with a thin layer of frost.

With its right wing injured, the Earth Magic Bat leader immediately lost its balance, and the flapping of its wings became chaotic.

Seeing this, Ma Qieyi finally felt slightly relieved.

The chance of victory had appeared.

But he did not let his guard down because of the temporary gain, but took the opportunity to increase the offensive.

Three more flashing darts gathered in his palm.

【Magic Missile】.

The Earth Magic Bat leader was a powerful creature, and even if injured, it had not completely lost its combat capability; it struggled to stabilize its figure, and a look of ruthlessness flashed in its eyes.

It suddenly opened its giant mouth, and a thicker group of gravel was sprayed out by it, once again swallowing the three magic missiles with terrifying power.

"Good beast!" Ma Qieyi gritted his teeth, knowing that he must defeat it in one go, otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, he would have to fall into entanglement again.

Just as he was preparing to launch a more fierce offensive, the next instant, Ma Qieyi's pupils expanded sharply.

An unexpected thing happened.

In his line of sight, a dazzling fire was rushing at an extremely swift speed, cleverly and wonderfully seizing this gap, breaking through the long sky, and blasting straight toward the left wing of the Earth Magic Bat leader.

It was as if it possessed spirituality and could turn, avoiding the Earth Magic Bat leader's defense with a very strange trajectory, and accurately hitting its left wing.

Powerful impact and fire, even the Earth Magic Bat leader's body had to suffer. With the right wing and left wing injured one after another, no matter how powerful it was, it could no longer maintain balance at this moment, and its huge body fell straight down like a broken kite.

Ma Qieyi was surprised by this sudden assistance, and used his peripheral vision to glance at the person who cast the spell—it was Gao De, one of the two magic apprentices he had blessed with 【Blessing】.

At the same time, the next spell in his hand had already been brewed.

It was still 【Magic Missile】.

This time, the Earth Magic Bat leader finally had no energy to spray gravel to swallow the magic missiles.

The magic missiles were able to display their powerful power, accurately hitting the vital parts of the Earth Magic Bat leader.

Boom! Boom! Boom! After three roaring sounds one after another, the Earth Magic Bat leader let out a shrill wailing, full of despair and unwillingness.

Only after this wailing, the Earth Magic Bat leader had no sound, clearly already dead.

Ma Qieyi stood in place, confirmed that it was dead, and turned to look at the young magic apprentice Gao De.

"Well done!" he praised.

Gao De smiled shyly.

Their battle had ended one step ahead of Ma Qieyi.

For the eleven Rank 0 Earth Magic Bats, after being blessed with 【Blessing】, he and another magic apprentice, as long as they ensured the spell hit, could kill one Earth Magic Bat with one spell.

And the ability of 【Fire Arrow+】 to adjust the spell trajectory once ensured Gao De's 100% hit rate in this battle.

He alone used five 【Fire Arrow+】 to accurately kill five Rank 0 Earth Magic Bats.

The remaining six Earth Magic Bats, facing the siege of a third-class magic apprentice who was also blessed with 【Blessing】 and the remaining dozen or so magic apprentices, could not hold on for too long.

So their battle ended far faster than imagined.

This allowed Gao De to notice the battle situation on Ma Qieyi's side and give the most timely support.

The battle ended, and Ma Qieyi took everyone to tidy up the battlefield.

The valuable parts on the Earth Magic Bat were the pair of eyeballs and a gland in the body, so they were simply dissected and collected on the spot.

However, out of a total of twelve Earth Magic Bats, only six pairs of eyeballs were finally collected.

This was because most damage spells were too violent; while killing ley line creatures, they often caused great damage to the corpses of ley line creatures.

For example, the Earth Magic Bats blasted to death by Gao De with fire arrows were all burned into charcoal.

"Rest for a while." After ensuring that all valuable materials were collected, Ma Qieyi commanded everyone to return to the official road and rest temporarily.

This skirmish consumed a lot, and if they didn't recover their mana well and continued to explore in the dense forest, encountering swarms of ley line creatures again would likely lead to casualties.

Especially Gao De, who cast a total of 6 【Fire Arrow+】 and 【Blade Protection+】; if not for the small breakthrough in the guidance method, his mana would have been dry at the moment.

Of course, the harvest was also incomparably huge.

The source collection progress of the Earth Magic Bat jumped from 2/7 to 7/7, one step ahead of the 【Wolf Rat】 source, which was 4/7, to full progress.

After drinking more than half a bottle of "Blue Light Potion" and operating the guidance method to recover full mana, Gao De did not open his eyes immediately.

He skillfully unfolded the "Fengling Yueying" information interface in his consciousness, and then aimed at the yellow plus sign flashing after the 【Ice Ray】 entry in the spell column.

"Add points!" Gao De's heart moved.

The "Big Dipper" representing the 【Earth Magic Bat】 source rotated and flew out, and the spell model extended and expanded.

After a moment.

The yellow "+" sign flashing after the 【Ice Ray】 entry disappeared and moved into the frame.

【Ice Ray+】 (Evocation School, Rank 0): Launch a cold blue-white ray at the target for a long-range spell attack, with an initial maximum distance of 25 feet.

If it hits, the target will suffer freezing damage and its speed will be slowed.

Extra: If the target has already suffered enough freezing damage, the Ice Ray will not only slow the target's speed but can temporarily freeze the target.
