Spellcasters had two nemeses: physical long-range attackers and Assassins who could hide in the shadows.
The latter, needless to say, could appear and disappear unpredictably. For spellcasters who had relatively slow reaction times, they were extremely detestable enemies.
As for the former, they were both long-range classes, and their shooting ranges were about the same. Although the spellcasters had arrow deflection and ranged defense spells, the physical long-range classes were too agile. It was quite difficult for a single-target spell to lock onto a highly mobile class such as an archer, and group spells required a long casting time. During this time, the long-range classes would have long escaped from the effective casting range with their leg strength. The bolder long-range classes would even attack while the spellcasters were in the casting time. It was quite normal for them to counterattack.
But even so, if spellcasters took their time and advanced step by step, the most dangerous ones would be the long-range attackers. After all, spellcasters had too many tricks up their sleeves. Not to mention their attack power, they had all kinds of spells that hindered their movements, and they could even change the terrain and weather. Qualified spellcasters could use everything around them to deal with their enemies. This was a class that relied heavily on creativity. The more creative a spellcaster was, the more he uses incredible fighting methods.
If an ordinary spellcaster was locked onto by so many Archers at the same time, their first reaction would be to use spells such as' defend against long-range attacks' or 'arrow deflection'. But Liang Lidong knew very well that if he used these two spells, he would be courting death … because under such circumstances, he could only cast one spell at most, and then the rain of arrows would arrive.
Whether it was' defend against long-range attacks' or 'arrow deflection', he could block all long-range attacks that were lower than a certain level. But the problem was that these two spells had a limit on the number of times he could take an attack. With Liang Lidong's current level, before the arrow deflection spell failed, he could block long-range attacks with an impact no greater than (3 + current INT + character level) (current Charisma x 10).
According to the formula, it could be seen that Mages were better at blocking arrows that dealt more damage, while Warlocks had an advantage in the number of attacks they could take.
Because of Liang Lidong's Attributes, he was in the middle in both aspects, neither too high nor too low. However, according to the formula, with his current level, if he used defensive arrows, he could withstand 84 long-range attacks at most. There were at least a hundred Archers below him, and as long as a wave of arrows rained down on him, his magic defense would be broken and he would be riddled with holes.
Hence, he did not use any defensive spells. Instead, he threw a magic scroll forward. Resistance Ring of Fire …
This was a defensive fire magic that could repel the surrounding enemies. Although it did not deal enough damage, it was considered a good defensive magic among the fire magic. When he threw the scroll, the enemy's arrows seemed to cover the sky and pressed down on him. At the same time, the scroll was activated not far in front of him. Then, a ring of fire suddenly expanded and swept Liang Lidong's body, pushing him forward at an extremely fast speed.
After he was pushed away by the ring of fire, at least two hundred arrows covered the air where he was just now.
Because of the Levitation Spell, Liang Lidong was still descending slowly, but because of the Resistance Ring of Fire, he was flying horizontally at a great speed. In order to let himself hit the ground faster, he immediately canceled the Levitation Spell, and his whole body smashed onto the ground like a meteor.
He rolled a few times before he managed to dispel most of the impact, but even so, he still felt like his whole body was about to fall apart from the shock.
When he landed on the ground, he quickly stood up and saw the group of archers turn around extremely quickly, then draw their arrows and draw their bows.
Liang Lidong flicked his fingers, and with him as the center, a white fog quickly appeared in the air. As soon as the fog appeared, the Archers would lose their ability to fight.
It was also at this time that a figure jumped down from the second floor of the castle, and jumped towards Liang Lidong's position at a great speed.
Liang Lidong hurriedly retreated, and the person hit the spot where he had just been. The huge impact even smashed a large pit. A piece of gravel flew past Liang Lidong's face, and then a red mark appeared on his face.
This person was very familiar to Liang Lidong. It was Mayor Uther. He held a giant sword in his hand and wore iron armor all over his body. He stood up from the deep pit, and his posture looked like a demon that had emerged from hell.
Mayor Uther's level was higher than Liang Lidong's, so the effect of Mist Manipulation on him wasn't too great. He could barely see about twenty meters in front of him. But at this time, he was less than seven meters away from Liang Lidong.
Uther put the giant sword on his shoulder. He looked at Liang Lidong and said disappointedly, "Mr. Beta, we are very disappointed. We didn't expect that you would still decide to side with the Church of Life, even though we are so close. If you are looking for someone, we can help you. Why do you have to believe in Mark's promise? "
Liang Lidong took two steps back and clicked his tongue. "It seems that you were the one who gathered the soldiers first, wasn't it?"
"I was just taking precautions. After all, you are very good at fighting, sir." Uther stepped forward and said, "Priest Beta, you've done a great favor for the mayor's office. Even if we suspect you, we won't do anything to you. We just want to put you under house arrest to ensure that we won't be hurt.
Although he was a member of the nobles, Liang Lidong didn't usually trust nobles, especially when they were already enemies. Liang Lidong said, "I hate house arrest, so I'll pass."
"Then I'm sorry. For the peace of Winterwind, I have to do something that I'm not willing to do."
Hardly had Uther finished talking when he charged at Liang Lidong with his weapon. He raised the black giant sword in his hand and drew an arc in the air. In the end, the whole sword was smashed to the ground, and the quakes were like waves on the surface of water.
Liang Lidong quickly stepped back and dodged Uther's attack. Then, the Pseudo Emperor Fallen Sword appeared in his hand.
Uther pulled back his greatsword, turned his body, and used the momentum to swing his greatsword. He then slashed at Liang Lidong's waist with a lightning-fast arc. Liang Lidong had no choice but to take a few more steps back to avoid the opponent's attack. The huge sword swept past his body, wrapped in a strong wind pressure, blowing people's hair wildly like wild grass in a storm. He had a longsword in his hand, too. Logically speaking, he should be able to take Uther's attack, but in fact, Liang Lidong didn't want to do that. His enemy was quite strong, and he would only be unlucky if he fought him head-on.
The attack had missed, and the inertia of the heavy weapon had left Uther in a vulnerable state. Logically speaking, this should have been an excellent opportunity to attack, but Liang Lidong continued to retreat quickly.
It was because an invisible woman had been following Uther. She was the mayor's wife … She hid in her husband's shadow and followed him closely. That was why Uther dared to use such a powerful move. Other people couldn't see the mayor's wife, but Liang Lidong's Cloud Dragon Blue Eyes could see through all illusions. He knew very well that he would be killed if he attacked her.
Liang Lidong kept stepping back as fast as a gust of wind. As long as he kept enough distance, no one would be able to find him in this thick fog.
But things weren't as simple as he thought. When Liang Lidong retreated, Uther didn't chase after him. He repositioned himself and watched Liang Lidong quickly disappear into the fog. Then, he grinned lightly.
A huge wind pressure was released from above the castle, blowing the fog like the waves of the sea. Soon, a huge hole was blown open in the fog. In the middle of the hole, Liang Lidong looked up at the top of the castle. There stood two spellcasters, Barbara and the black-robed girl. These two girls were both Fire Magicians. Their Wind Magic ability was not strong, but the situation was different when the two of them cast the same spell at the same time. Moreover, they were using a large-scale Wind Magic. They were not looking for lethality, but only for continuity and constant wind power. It was obvious that they were prepared.
"The only weakness of the Mistriding skill... is that it will be affected by powerful wind-based skills. Looking at Uther who was slowly walking towards him, Liang Lidong said, "It seems that you have considered and prepared a lot for this day."
