1072 The King Guard
“President Duan, what do you think?”
“Yes, it’s very strange,”
Duan Chengbin sized up Fang Heng with a strange look on his face.
Fang Heng’s move was clean and neat.
He didn’t look like a mage. Instead, he looked more like a warrior of the Empire with extremely strong close combat abilities.
“Do you want to go up and try?”
“Let’s wait a little longer,”
As early as three years ago, Duan Chengbin had already passed the Mage Association’s intermediate mage assessment. Recently, he was even accepted as a student by one of the Vice Presidents of the Mage Association, making people extremely envious.
This was a team mission, so everyone followed Duan Chengbin’s lead.
Duan Chengbin sensed that this mission was extremely difficult and was prepared to continue observing.
The power that the necromancer displayed was very strange.
Moreover, the other party finished off his opponent in a clean and efficient way, which showed that he was extremely confident.
The trial would last for ten minutes, so he could play with the elementary mage and buy some time.
“The timer is still ticking,” Randolf said in a deep voice. “Anyone who wants to challenge him can come on stage at any time.”
The scene of Fang Heng defeating his opponent cleanly and neatly had already brought pressure to the onlooking mages. For a time, the square was filled with endless discussions, but no one dared to step up.
Based on the ability that Fang Heng had just displayed, he had already crushed an elementary mage.
Going up would be a loss for them.
After waiting for a full minute, the players started to get anxious.
“Brother Duan, what do you say? No one’s going up.”
Another player also whispered, “This kind of assessment is just a formality. Even the intermediate NPC mages of the Mage Association won’t participate in the battle.”
“Our people are ready. We can attack together.”
Duan Chengbin withdrew his gaze from Fang Heng and took a deep breath.
“Yes, the enemy is very strong. In 10 seconds, we’ll attack together.”
“Alright, let’s go!”
The twenty-odd people immediately scattered.
Duan Chengbin stood on the spot and began to condense his spiritual spell.
After counting down to ten seconds, a thunderbolt was cast at Fang Heng while he jumped to the center of the battlefield.
“Flash!”
“Explosive fireball.”
“Ice crystal…”
Almost at the same time, colorful and dense spiritual spells were blasted at Fang Heng from all directions.
More than 20 players stepped into the square at the same time.
Randolf frowned.
The trial did not have a limit on the number of participants. In theory, it was possible for 10,000 people to challenge the trial at the same time.
But very few people would do that.
Having 20 of them attacking together had never happened before.
Moreover, it was not very nice to use spells to launch a sneak attack before going on stage.
Frowning, Fang Heng raised the bone spear in his hand and kept waving it forward, trying to block the spells coming from all directions.
It was extremely troublesome!
A large number of spells had the effect of spiritual tracking, so it was impossible to avoid them and he could only block them!
“BOOM! Boom Boom!!”
The bone spear directly scattered the fireball in the air. The fireballs that exploded in the air could still cause a small amount of damage to him. Luckily, the damage was low.
Fang Heng’s health had only dropped by less than 2%, so their attacks were no threat to him at all.
The effect of the undying body immediately filled up the HP that had dropped.
However, the ice crystal spell and other weakening spells were troublesome.
“Boom Boom Boom!!”
After the ice crystal exploded, a layer of frost covered Fang Heng’s body, which slowed down his movement speed and attack speed.
Eh?
Fang Heng was about to move subconsciously when he raised his eyebrows.
A swamp had appeared under his feet, and tiny vines extended out from the swamp, binding his feet.
The effect of this spell was very effective against Fang Heng.
Not only was it difficult to dodge, but the additional negative effects couldn’t be removed by the undying body effect.
He had to end the battle quickly!
Fang Heng’s pupils flickered with a sharp light.
There was an uproar in the audience again.
This was crazy!
In such a situation, 80% of the mages would open a magic shield or escape by using spatial spells, while the remaining 19% would choose to use spells to fight.
No one expected that Fang Heng could rely on the bone spear in his hand to block the magic attacks continuously!
Fang Heng was still persevering!
At first glance, the colorful spiritual spells were completely smashed away by Fang Heng’s bone spear! He was not affected at all!
When Duan Chengbin saw his intermediate-level thunderbolt spells being destroyed by Fang Heng’s bone spear, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
He could clearly see that Fang Heng had been affected by the AoE damage and the paralyzing effect of the thunderbolt.
But why did he look like he wasn’t injured at all, and he could still continue fighting?
“Continue! Let’s see how long he can last!”
Duan Chengbin had just given the order when he suddenly froze.
“Whoosh!!”
On the field, a black mist suddenly rose up with Fang Heng as the center.
The thick fog filled with the aura of death spread out rapidly and enveloped Fang Heng in the blink of an eye, isolating him from everyone’s sight.
Duan Chengbin and the other players were shocked.
No, this wasn’t an ordinary black mist.
Not only did the fog block their vision, but it also blocked their aura perception!
To mages, this was extremely fatal.
After the players lost their perceptual target lock on Fang Heng, they could only rely on their feelings and cast AoE spells at the possible locations where Fang Heng might be.
Whoosh!!!
Suddenly, a black shadow swept out from the side of the black mist!
Skeleton?
Everyone was shocked when they saw the jade-like skeleton covered in pitch-black bones.
The King Guard held a long black bone saber and went straight to a player in front of him.
Randolf stared at the King Guard with a serious expression.
Undead-type summoned creatures, skeletons?
It was completely different from the concept of the slow and weak skeletons!
Why was it so fast?
The players who were being approached by the King Guard were shocked. Their minds were under great pressure, and their hearts were in a mess. Two fireballs were fired forward.
“Bang! Bang!!”
The two fireballs landed on the King Guard one after another and exploded!
“Huu!”
The King Guard scuttled out of the explosion of flames. It seemed to be unaffected. The long sword in its hand slashed forward, drawing a black light in the air.
“Shield.”
Randolf’s brows were tightly locked together as he formed a seal with both of his hands.
“Buzz…”
A shield appeared in front of the players.
“BOOM!!!”
The moment the shield was opened, it was destroyed by the King Guard!
The players protected by the shield were also sent flying out of the battle circle in the aftermath of the explosion.
Very strong!
All the mages in the square turned their eyes to the King Guard.
What’s with that skeleton?
How could its strength be so high?
The soul fire in the eyes of the King Guard summoned by the Shrine of Bones flickered, and it continued to chase after another player.
“F*ck! Don’t come over!”
Seeing his companion’s miserable state, the other player quickly threw seven or eight wind blades at the King Guard.
The wind blades hit the King Guard and left two tiny scratches on its black bone armor.
“F*ck!”
Seeing that the wind blade was ineffective, the player cursed and admitted his bad luck. He directly jumped out of the battle square and surrendered.
Wuwuwuwuwu!!
The King Guard changed its direction again and chased after the next player.
