Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 17: No Profit, No Go (1)
Fortunately, being "simple and honest" seems to be the nature of every "law enforcer". Facing my obviously "ill-intentioned" inquiry, just like Santos last time, Aristotle was very "frank" and talked freely, "As a wizard, I naturally use magic as a means of attack. I have eight hands, all of which can cast the powerful 'Torch Stone Bomb' magic. The maximum range can reach 500 meters, which is far beyond the attack radius of ordinary magic and bows and arrows. Although it is a single magic, it has a very strong 'explosion' effect. Once it hits an object or falls to the ground due to exhaustion, it will explode. The flying flint fragments can affect a space of more than ten square meters and can also cause damage." While speaking, Aristotle also gave us a live demonstration. The eight hands waved in turns or together, making a virtual handshake gesture. After waiting for about ten seconds, a white ball the size of a basketball, as if made of stone, with black and red flames burning all over would appear in his hands. Moreover, unlike the release of ordinary magic, this "flaming stone ball" was thrown by Aristotle, and the attack distance can be controlled by himself. If it is close, he can throw it beside him without worrying about the impact of the "explosion". If it is far away, as it described, it basically landed at a distance of four or five hundred meters. Fortunately, the speed of its arms swinging to perform "torch stone bombardment" is not too fast, and there will be a slight interval between attacks, which should not easily form a "carpet bombing" pattern. Otherwise, if it can fire continuously like a "machine gun", it will be difficult to pose a threat to it unless it runs out of mental strength or has enough strength to withstand its bombardment.
"Also, although I am a mage, we trolls are huge and solid, and we are naturally gifted with high defensive capabilities. We are not as fragile as the usual mages who cannot withstand attacks. Also because of my size, my movement speed is relatively slow, but I have a unique 'fixed-point teleportation' magic to make up for this deficiency. I can set up up to five fixed 'portals' in advance, and it only takes about a minute to prepare. I can disappear from the spot and then appear in any 'portal'." As I expected, the troll mage has a strong defensive ability, and the "fixed-point teleportation" magic can also allow it to dodge more easily when it is besieged and the situation is unfavorable. This ability alone will cost us several times more to kill Aristotle.
Qiu Shui Chang Tian, Tian Xing, Qing Wu Fei Yang and I looked at each other in bewilderment. Although we didn't say anything, we could see the shock in each other's eyes. But this wasn't the end yet. There were more things that would surprise them. I asked, "Respected Giant Mage, you are indeed worthy of being the 'law enforcer' who controls the Corpse Witch Clan. You are so powerful. However, every 'law enforcer' can activate . I wonder what special skill you have obtained?"
Amid Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the others' increasingly horrified gazes, Aristotle proudly said, "My special skill for executing 'Heavenly Punishment' is called 'Flying Stones from the Sky'. To continuously activate the skill, it only consumes a small amount of mental energy. Dozens of small meteorites are shot out from a vortex cloud in the sky, covering an area of 20 to 30 square meters. They can also change direction in mid-air and automatically chase the nearest target, making them even more difficult to defend against."
"Excuse me, how strong are you? How do you compare to the bone dragon?"
"I have far surpassed those ordinary beings. Even high-level bone dragons like the Hell Dragon and the Abyss Dragon are not my opponents at all." This should be its own strength. If it is assisted by the "Flying Stones from the Sky", it will probably not be inferior to Hades, the Hell Dragon King.
Through my questioning, I fully demonstrated the powerful strength of the "law enforcers" in front of Qiu Shui Changtian and the others. My purpose is actually to let them retreat when they see difficulties, cancel the attack on the "Yellow Wind Valley", and avoid the "war" with Aristotle. Otherwise, not only will we ourselves face great danger, but even if we are lucky enough to win, we will also have to pay a heavy price. Compared with the possible benefits, the risk is too great and it is really not worth it.
I secretly observed the faces of several companions around me and secretly guessed their thoughts. My goal has been achieved, and there is nothing to ask. As for the reward of "gaining part of the opponent's ability" after defeating the "law enforcer", facing the powerful giant magician, this possibility is very small, so there is no need to let them know, so as not to increase the weight of "temptation" and prompt them to take risks. Although it is a bit "despicable", it is not just for my own consideration, but also for the safety of Qiu Shui Changtian and others. I don't want to let these elites among the undead wizards so easily meet the old man and weaken the strength of our "resistance alliance" - facing Aristotle's "Torch Stone Bomb" and "Flying Stones from the Sky", the three of them do not have the unique escape skills such as "Blood Bat Transformation" and "External Incarnation" that I have. Once they encounter continuous attacks, they will definitely be in danger.
I kept silent, wanting to end the "communication" here, but Qiu Shui Chang Tian seemed a little unwilling and broke the brief silence, "Respected 'law enforcer', if we insist on launching the 'Undead War' and cause your interference, as long as we defeat you, can we obtain the title of 'God-defying' and act freely?"
"It's not defeat, it's killing. Any attack against me will trigger Heaven's Punishment. In the process of executing Heaven's Punishment, the Law Enforcer can die, but he will never flee. If you are strong enough to kill me, not only will you be able to share a portion of my abilities, you will also be awarded the title of Heaven's Defier. As long as your actions do not cause the wrath of Heaven and the resentment of the people, and attract the sanctions of the three Chief Judges, you will enjoy considerable freedom of action."
When I heard that killing the "law enforcer" would also gain some of its abilities, Qingwu Feiyang glanced at me with a smile. I tilted my head to the side guiltily, pretending not to see it and trying to hide it, but it was finally revealed. I felt really embarrassed.
"When you first appeared , it seemed as if you fell from the sky. It was not like the 'fixed-point teleportation' magic you demonstrated before. What kind of ability is this?" It was still Qiu Shui Changtian who asked the question.
"Oh, this is just a unique way for us 'law enforcers' to appear. It has no other use except for reaching the destination from the shelter and returning."
