Chapter 279 - I Want to Recreate I (1/2)

If it had been a month ago, Roland would have definitely summoned the s.h.i.+eld-wielding puppet to protect himself.

However, there was a big flaw in that kind of protection: the puppet was easily knocked away and had no protection against attacks from above.

But Roland didn’t need to go through such troubles now that he had Magic s.h.i.+eld, the Mage’s strongest defense, a defensive spell that could be used for the rest of his life.

Three human-faced spiders landed half a meter in front of him, huge sharp-toothed mouthparts stretched out, and all were blocked by a transparent Magic s.h.i.+eld as a result.

The mouthparts shattered inch by inch under the high-speed impact, and the three spiders screamed before being bounced back.

As for the other two drows, one went invisible, the other leaped back several meters and with a movement of the hand, three throwing knives—one on the left, two on the right—flew in an arc towards Roland’s Magic s.h.i.+eld.

They were fast, and although Roland reacted in time, he didn’t dodge; he had the intention to test the strength of the Magic s.h.i.+eld.

In the end, two of the three throwing knives were bounced off the instant they hit the Magic s.h.i.+eld.

The one on the other side, on the other hand, pierced through the Magic s.h.i.+eld, startling Roland.

But that was all—it broke the Magic s.h.i.+eld, without a doubt, but it was stuck in between layers of the s.h.i.+eld.

Roland discovered that the curved, red-handled throwing knife actually had magical energy flowing through it.

Roland took the dagger down and placed it in his hand.

Enchanted weapons? Spell-breaking effects?

As Roland was startled, the drow who had disappeared suddenly appeared behind Roland.

The moment she appeared, she stabbed at Roland’s back with a sharp short sword.

However, it was blocked by the Magic s.h.i.+eld just the same.

Roland turned back, and the drow that failed to sneak attack tried to pull away and flee, but a red figure suddenly appeared behind her. A horizontal slash came from a long miaodao.

This drow was so scared that she immediately rolled sideways.

A normal person’s tumble was simply a tumble, but an agility profession’s tumble was an ability.

Depending on one’s coordination (agility), strength, and whether or not one was good at tumbling, there was a huge difference in the tumbling ability of the agility professions.

Some people could only tumble two or three meters in half a second, while others who specialized in tumbling could do so in about 0.2 seconds and they could tumble for more than 10 meters.

It was almost comparable to a Mage’s Teleportation.

The world of magic simply couldn’t be surmised with common sense.

This drow could only tumble a distance of six meters in about 0.3 seconds, but she still broke away from the puppet’s attack range extremely quickly.

After she tumbled and escaped, she shouted to her previously electrified companion, “Make a move already.”

This drow was finally released from her paralysis from Lightning and she was about to make a move, only to have another Lightning hit her.

Once again, she fell into a state of paralysis.

The other two turned and fled as soon as they saw this, and they jumped onto separate human-faced spiders, about to ride their mounts out of the coc.o.o.n.

But Roland snapped his fingers, and the wide-ranged Ice Ring was launched immediately.

A ring of white frost spread directly along the ground, and the first to be hit was the electrically paralyzed drow, the ring of ice freezing her legs.

The Ice Ring then spread along the inner layer of the coc.o.o.n directly upward, and actually reached the spider legs of the two human-faced spiders that were about to crawl out of the coc.o.o.n’s gap, then froze the opening of the coc.o.o.n at a very fast speed.

The two drows defied gravity and sat down on the spider’s back upside down as they looked at the frozen exit with expressions of despair.

Roland looked up at them and said with a smile, “Won’t you come down and talk?”

Although drows were tyrannical, they actually knew when to advance and when to retreat.
