Chapter 178

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 .

In this situation, the choice of spells was so crucial right now that any wrong option could easily end one’s life .

Lucien already noticed that it seemed that the murloc mage had cast a second circle spell on itself called Mechanized Mind, hence no spells that affected one’s mental state would work .

The spell Mechanized Mind could turn creatures with emotion into mechanical things such as Steel Golems, and thus one could become immune to many spells that aimed at disturbing one’s mental condition .

Lucien knew that the murloc mage was good at using defensive spells, so quite possibly, his many attack spells, if without careful planning, would turn into a total waste facing the creature .

Quickly, in his mind, Lucien was thinking of a possible strategy .

When the murloc was once again about to recover from the last casting, Lucien was planning on using the explosion of the fireball as a cover for him to jump right into the water in order to seize a slight chance to survive .

Besides, Lucien felt that the reinforcement knights would arrive soon .

"Wait . "

Something came to Lucien all of a sudden .

"The principle of Mechanized Mind is equipping a creature with mechanical features . In this case, there is no hormone produced, and the creature’s brain wave is turned into pure electromagnetic signal, and that is why one’s can be immune to the many mental spells . " Lucien quickly thought to himself, "It's said that the soul of the creature is not changed, which basically equals to the controller of an alchemical life . "

Lucien sensed a slight amount of hope, hence he quickly gave up the plan on fleeing to seize a better chance to survive .

Turning himself into a shadow, Lucien launched his attack at the murloc mage again .

Invisible waves spread out of Lucien’s soul, and strong magic waves were produced .

The first circle spell, Charm Person, not only worked on human beings, but also on humanoid creatures!

The murloc mage had a sarcastic smile on its face .

How was it possible that Charm Person could affect itself, thought the murloc .

However, all of a sudden, it felt that Lucien, the human being standing right in front of him, was the lord of the ocean that it worshiped .

And subconsciously, the murloc’s slacked its spiritual power movement and stopped casting the second Drowning Bubble .

The murloc mage immediately realized this was not right .

Although the murloc mage’s strong spiritual power did prevent it from being further affected by Lucien’s spell, for a moment, due to the pricking feeling in its soul caused by this magic, the murloc lost his concentration for a moment .

This version of Charm Person spell was developed by Lucien on his own: it put more emphasis on the influence of the magic on an individual’s soul, but lowered the power from the intervention of brain wave, thus working better with sorcerers!

The failure of casting Charm Person on the murloc mage also made Lucien suffer the power backfire, hence he felt dizzy for a second, but that could not prevent Lucien from activating his magic item .

A head-sized fire ball appeared in the space and flew right toward the murloc mage .

The murloc right now was only under the cover of Power Resistance and a water bubble . Seeing the fire ball coming toward it, the murloc mage looked helpless and frustrated .

It was too late for it to cast any spell or activate any item though .

Bang!

The fire ball exploded .

Part of the murloc mage was exploded into pieces of flesh, and some of the pieces were burned black .

However, the pieces of the murloc’s limbs were still moving on the floor, striving to go back to the main body .

Of course, Lucien would not let the murloc come back again .

Grabbing Alert with his right hand, holding Asthenia Dagger in his left hand, Lucien jumped on the remaining major piece of the murloc .

Sharp light flashed . The murloc was beheaded .

At this time, a person came downstairs . He saw the dead murloc mage, and also Lucien .

"You killed it?!" Tom could not believe his own eyes .

Tom had a short fight with this murloc mage on the deck outside just now, and he knew how powerful this second circle mage was .

When Tom hurriedly rushed downstairs, he did it not only to protect Wave Stone, but also to help Lucien and the apprentices .

However, within one minute, the mage was already killed by Lucien .
