Luring into a Trap

At night, it was pitch black in the direction of Horn Pass. Standing on the land of Lorinvik, they could only see a pitch-black earth and a slightly bright sky.

They are the guards stationed at the Lorinvik level opposite Horn Pass. At this time, they can only illuminate the surrounding environment with the light and heat brought by the torches at hand.

"Why did you let people in just now? I just came back from going to the toilet."

One guard wearing a steel helmet had a look of confusion on his face, while another guard felt slightly uncomfortable facing the reflection of the helmet and looked away before continuing.

"That person came to see the mage in our level..."

"There is no way we can stop each other. Besides, the mage also said that if anyone comes to see him, just let him in."

"Oh." The guard wearing a steel helmet responded, knowing that it would be difficult for them to stop him in this matter.

After all, even the commander of the current level, the Count, had a flattering smile on his face when facing the mage.

"By the way, when will our place be transferred... Isn't the opposite side of us occupied by the Alliance?"

One of the guards said boredly.

In the past, their main purpose here was to guard against the opponent Horn Pass, to prevent the opponent from suddenly sending people to attack, but the rear was not prepared.

But now, it seems that this level has no meaning of existence.

The knights and well-trained guards who were stationed here in the past have no meaning in their existence.

"I don't know, maybe we have to be transferred to other places, or maybe our Lord Earl will let us go back to his territory with him..."

"I think we have to wait at least until the mage leaves. Now I'm curious whether the mage came to us because the Alliance occupied Antir..."

"Does anyone know why the Alliance wants to occupy Antir? We Lorinvik..."

A group of guards started talking and talked about the recent events. They were able to talk like this thanks to the count himself who was not too concerned about managing this place.

After all, before this, the earl had explicitly prohibited large-scale gatherings of guards to talk.

"Is it raining?"

A guard felt a drop of rain on his neck, giving him a chill.

"How long has it been since it rained?"

"I don't know, the last time was probably a month ago..."

Before the guards could turn to a new topic, a voice interrupted them.

"Hey, why are you arguing like there's going to be a war?"

A group of guards stopped because they recognized the voice of the guard captain, who had the right to punish them.

"You don't have to do this. Anyway, this place will be abolished soon... But I am here to deliver a message to you..."

The captain's face became a little more solemn, and he continued.

"You all must remember this mission... The mage followed a man in black robes who was looking for him and walked out through the south door."

"If that mage wants to come in from you, you know what to do..."

Several guards nodded, although the mage liked to fly into the sky and then directly come to the city.

But who's to say that the mage won't go through the front door? If the mage wants to go through the front door and they don't open the door immediately...

All the guards shuddered, knowing that the count would directly skin them.

They nodded quickly and remembered this matter in their hearts. If the mage came to their city gate, they would definitely open the gate immediately.

It's just that they will never have that chance. It's not that Sean will not enter from them, but that Sean will never come back here again.

"Is this right here?"

Sean's face was full of impatience. The light rain falling from the sky wet his short brown hair, making him a little impatient.

He didn't have much Magic Scroll on hand. In order not to miss any opportunity, he didn't have time to go back to Floating City to replenish these Magic Scroll.

Therefore, in order to save the scroll, Sean did not use a copy of Shield Spell to cover himself to isolate the rain.

"Sean Master, we are here."

The man in black robes walking in front stopped and stood on an overgrown land.

"Arrived?"

Sean frowned, not understanding what the man in black robe meant.

At this time, there was a raised ridge in front of them, and some dents from the rain could still be seen on the rock wall.

Behind them is the road they came from, which is very steep, like digging several Shallow Pit on the steep slope.

Looking along the direction where the grassland extends on both sides, you can see the bottomless valley below.

Sean keenly sensed something was wrong. The position they were in now was more like reaching a dead end than arriving.

Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the man in black robe turning around with a somewhat frightened expression on his face. Then the man in black robe walked around him with an arrow and rushed behind him, trying to stay away from him.

Sean The first thing he felt was that his feet dropped. He seemed to feel that his feet were sinking into the soil.

"Stone to Mud?"

Sean guessed it was this spell, so he didn't dare to delay, and immediately tore open Shield Spell from his waist with one hand. While ensuring safety, he raised his body upwards, wanting to fly.

After all, he is still a mage, and his physical fitness is not good. If he is trapped in mud and water, it will be difficult to move effectively, so he wants to fly first.

But under his Mental Power pull, his body did not fly in the air, but instead felt as if he was sinking downwards.

"Stone to Mud, can you just hold my body at the beginning?"

Sean felt something was wrong. Unless half of him was trapped, this shouldn't happen.

He looked down and saw that the muddy water had already covered half of his calf.

"No, this is the mage from Elemental Conversion, Earth Element, Elemental School. Who is this?"

Sean relied on his rich experience to see why he had not been able to get rid of the restraints in the first place.

Immediately afterwards, he realized that only Elemental School mages could do Elemental Conversion, not those Spirit Realm Mage. This was an elemental skill.

There was no time to think about why Elemental School's mage came to attack him, Sean immediately began to respond.

A thin layer of mist suddenly began to fill his body, vaguely like a looming star in the corner of the horizon.

This is a second-level spell [Mist Star Veil], a spell that can reduce a certain percentage of the damage you receive after using it.

After Sean was trapped, he immediately added a shield to himself. He had a way to escape from this restrained situation, but it would take time.

Then, he tore open a small black scroll at his waist with both hands, and a shining shield appeared around Sean.

At the same time, the suction coming from his feet also slowed down a bit.

This is the second-level spell [Elemental Shield], a spell specially used to defend against the elements. He spent a thousand Gold Coin on this scroll. Now is the time to use it.

At the same time, the movements of his hands were not slow. After five seconds of simple guidance, the cloth bag on his waist shriveled a little, and was still slowly shrinking inward.

A transparent purple film appeared on his body and then disappeared.

Third-Order Spell[Starshift Evasion], he can obtain a conceptual dodge before the star sand around his waist passes.

Attacks at this time are difficult to damage him.

Sean raised his head and looked around in confusion. He had already cast spells several times. According to the rules of battle between mages, he completed the spell cast first and was already too far ahead. So where is the elemental mage who will attack him?

He spent a second, but could not find any figure that looked like a mage, but he could still see the man in black robe who had led him here, stumbling down the mountain.

He lowered his head and was about to cast a spell to allow himself to fly, when his feet fell into the air and he instantly lost his support.

His powerful Mental Power reacted in an instant, and just when he was about to fly upward, it was like a needle piercing his brain, causing his subconscious to sound a sharp alarm.

At that moment, light and heat happened at the same time, and his Shield Spell suddenly shattered after holding on for a breath.

The fire completely surrounded him, and the strange Fire Element wrapped him tightly, stopping outside the crumbling Elemental Shield.

Sean had to give up the idea of continuing to fly upwards and began to tear apart the remaining shield scrolls.

"Second Elemental Conversion..."

Sean's face was solemn. Normally, the general third-order Elemental School would not be able to do the second-order Elemental Conversion, because it is both laborious and not worth it for them.

Only those Mental Power among Yobner Society who are powerful enough to pass the first test of becoming a mage with their initial Mental Power will use this spell.

A bad idea appeared in Sean's mind.

"No, no, maybe this elemental mage just happens to have practiced a few more times in this area..."

Sean's hand movements were not slow, and shields appeared on his body one after another.

He touched the Truecolor Star Sand bag on his waist and found that half of the sand in it was missing. This was abnormal and it was impossible to consume so much.

At that moment, he felt that the bag went down again, which made his face even paler. If he could avoid the next attack and hurt him,

Then Truecolor Star Sand should consume a portion, and then no longer consume it. You need to cast the spell again, but now, Truecolor Star Sand is still consuming it.

The surrounding light fell into silence, and he felt like he was back at that night again, but he couldn't see the scene outside.

Because the outside was already covered by dense Wind Element at this time, he could no longer hear any sound except the wind.

The slightly glowing red air flow tightly entangled him, and the Truecolor Star Sand bag tightly held in his hand continued to shrink.

Now, he could confirm no matter what, it was a powerful Elemental School mage who wanted his life.

After all, there are very few mages who can use Elemental Conversion three times, even if all high-level mages are included.
