Chapter 178: The Murloc Mage

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion

The corrosive water ball and the fire disappeared at the same time. A second later, Lucien subconsciously activated the magic model in his soul and fiercely shot two black magic missiles at the murloc with the coral staff before he dodged to the other side as quick as a shadow.

As soon as the two missiles got close to the murloc, suddenly, a transparent swirl appeared surrounding it, and the swirl directly absorbed the magic missiles.

Second circle spell, Power Resistance.

This was a spell that helped the caster resist a certain amount of attacking power. The murloc standing in front of Lucien was a mage.

Fast as Lucien was, the mage still raised its coral staff and located Lucien with it.

All of a sudden, Lucien could not help but laugh. The laughing was so bad that Lucien’s whole body was trembling.

The Kuo-toan mage located him using spiritual power.

Lucien’s spiritual power started fading and became weaker because of his crazy laughter. He could neither cast nor activate his magic items. His feet and arms started to feel very limp and his speed dropped significantly.

Lucien, although still laughing like crazy, was for sure very nervous. He knew that if he could not react properly, the murloc mage’s attack in the next round could easily kill him.

Lucien clenched his left hand into a tight fist to feel more the coldness of the ring, Ice Revenger, in order to stay as sober as he could.

Taking a deep breath, he sent the feeling of chill of the ring to his soul and spiritual power to suppress his dangerous laughter.

As soon as Lucien felt that he could move, he quickly rolled on the ground to stay further away from the murloc.

Half a second later, a lightning ball hit the place where Lucien was previously laughing and it exploded, turning some of the apprentices’ cabins into total ruins.

As small lightnings were left on the path of the lightning ball, Lucien was also affected. He felt the great pain mixing with numbness, and his hair was erected.

However, the pain brought by the lighting made Lucien recover from his laughter. He seized the chance and quickly activated the bracelet, throwing a terrifying fire ball right toward the murloc mage.

Lucien had to survive first. He could not think of how to deal with the fighting trace left by the fire ball right now.

Although the power of the fire ball was surely intimidating, the murloc mage remained very calm. Raising the coral staff again, the murloc replicated itself.

The duplicate looked identical to the murloc. Both of them had a coral staff, both of them had cold, silver eyes, and both of them were covered with scales that were shining bloody red light.

When the fire ball hit the murloc which Lucien originally targeted, the reflection of the murloc mage crashed like a mirror and quickly disappeared. However, the real murloc mage stayed totally safe beside it, under the protection of Power Resistance and a big water shield.

Lucien felt desperate for a second. He could not believe that his most powerful attack spell was just handled by the murloc mage this easily!

It was only a second circle spell, Mirror, which could produce several reflections of a caster to free the caster from a targeted attack. Before the reflections were destroyed, the real caster would not be hurt.

Sometimes in a fight, it was not all about the magic level, but about the proper usage.

Lucien had no choice. Being desperate at that moment would mean death. So, he started moving around fast again, when the murloc mage was still recovering from its last casting.

As Lucien was moving, he activated another magic model in his soul.

First circle spell, Cause Fear.

A shadow was summoned, and the shadow quickly jumped on the murloc.

Lucien was hoping that this spell could bring some negative impact on the murloc, so Lucien would have a better chance to cast, or, probably somehow back away.

However, although the shadow did hit the Kuo-toan mage, the murloc seemed to be immune to the spell. Its silver eyes were still cold and calm, as if he was watching others fighting.

Lucien saw a light flashing past the mage’s silver eyes, and then he saw a very complicated, blue pattern, which was so mysterious and fascinating that Lucien could not move his eyes away.

Lucien’s Host Star of Destiny, at that time, suddenly started shining brightly. It was telling and urging Lucien that danger was coming.

The power of Lucien’s star connected to Ice Revenger on Lucien’s left hand. Lucien felt a chill creep over him, and then, as soon as he regained some consciousness, he quickly activated the bracelet and used his Flame Shield.

Lucien was just now controlled by the murloc mage’s second circle spell, Hypnosis Totem!

A huge water ball, at this time, dropped on Lucien and fully covered him. Lucien felt the great pressure from the water, and the flames around him were gradually dying out.

Another second circle spell, Drowning Bubble.

When Lucien was about to pass out inside the big water bubble, the flames he summoned just now finally evaporated most of the water and broke the spell. As the flame and water bubble disappeared together, Lucien hurriedly rolled on the floor again without a chance to take a full breath, since another lightning ball was thrown toward him again!

Lucien never felt this desperate. He also realized how lucky he had been to actually be able to beat the necromancer, Hunt.
