Chapter 19: Fire Magic Never Should Be Used Like This!

At the same time, Lin En and the others were making a detour to the underground of the manor.

Everyone knew that time was of the essence, and the injured Barton directly refused Barker’s help. After pulling his clothes and bandaging them, he endured the pain in his back and followed behind everyone.

At this moment, Lin En was still thinking about the details of the previous spellcasting.

As a basic zero-circle spell,[Magic Missile] was not difficult to learn and use. The real problem was to set the trajectories of the missiles.

Lin En didn’t participate in the first wave of counterattacks from Joni and the others. He was preparing to cast a spell.

Unless 071 assisted him in locating the target, controlling twelve [Magic Bullets] at the same time was his limit. Its power was roughly equivalent to an upper-level first-circle spell.

“Are you really Carl?” Barker couldn’t help but ask in the silence.

“Of course!” Lin En nodded.

“But when did you master the Herram Formula?” Joni was also very curious. She had just handed the book to Lin En more than an hour ago. It was impossible for Lin En to learn it after reading it a few times, right?

“Just now…” Lin En replied casually. Then, he suddenly remembered that his original host had only studied magic for half a year. It seemed a little too high-profile for him to say this, so he quickly explained. “Teacher once explained the principle of this formula to me. It doesn’t seem to be very difficult.”

Was it not difficult? Joni’s exquisite face revealed a confused look. Then why couldn’t she master it after studying it for several months?

Barker and Barton both felt that it must be because Teacher Kru had secretly given Karl special treatment.

“Pigeon, report the enemy’s position and distance!” Lin En changed the topic and looked at the silent girl beside him.

Even though her actions of killing Will were very suspicious, they had no choice but to rely on her ability in such a critical moment.

“There are enemies everywhere. They are preparing to surround us.” Pigeon’s body trembled as she spoke timidly.

“What about Bishop Antioch? Where is he?” Joni suddenly asked.

” I don’t know. I can’t see him with my Psionic Sense…” Pigeon was about to cry.

“In that case, let’s find a place and gather as many enemies as possible.” Lin En analyzed calmly.

Other than the archbishop, who had yet to make a move, the biggest threat to them now was the rain of arrows created by the crossbowmen. If they were in a wide area, at least half of them would die after a few rounds.

“Are you serious? Carl?” Barker was so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out.

It was barely possible for them to escape, but Lin En was still thinking of gathering the enemies to counterattack. This was simply a fantasy.

Lin En didn’t reply but looked at Barton, who was gritting his teeth as blood oozed out of his back.

Only then did Barker realize that it was inconvenient for them to move around with an injured person. It wouldn’t be long before the enemies caught up from all directions. Once they were surrounded, they might not even be able to escape.

“How confident are you?” Joni asked directly.

“That will depend on how many spells you have mastered!” Lin En said firmly.

..

With the help of Pigeon’s perception and Lin En’s mobilization, the guards who surrounded the students from several directions arrived almost at the same time and surrounded the students in the side hall of the castle.

Apart from the mysterious Archbishop Antioch, the guards at the entrance, and the people who treated the wounded, all six guards had arrived.

Even though there were many people on his side, Aaron, who had just suffered a great loss at the hands of Lin En, did not dare to be negligent. He ordered the guards to use the shield wall and crossbow formation to advance, and then he and the rest of the priests who had arrived cast support divine spells.

[Eliminate Fear],[Holy Blessing]!

Two white lights lit up in a row, and the shieldmen who had regained their courage and vitality once again stacked their thick shield walls and strode forward.

In front of them, Barker stood alone in front of the numerous shieldmen, forcefully lifting up the counter that weighed several hundred pounds from the ground. His originally thick arms swelled up once again, and with a strength that exceeded the limits of the human body, he threw the heavy counter forward with all his might.

“Die!”

The heavy counter collided with the dense shields, creating a huge muffled sound.

Immediately after, the hard stone ground under everyone’s feet suddenly sank.

This was exactly the spell that Joni and Barton had been preparing for, [Stone into Mud].

The sturdy armor was no longer a form of protection. Instead, it had become the greatest burden. After being slammed into, the legs that stepped on the fine sand immediately lost their balance. The Shieldbearers, who were originally standing in an orderly position, immediately fell to the ground in a mess.

Although it was the joint casting of two apprentices, the range of influence was limited. The crossbowmen at the back had already raised the bows in their hands, and more than forty sharp arrows were pointed at Barker…

Please, hurry up, Pigeon!

A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead. Barker prayed in his heart. This second would be the difference between life and death!

Fortunately, Pigeon did not disappoint him this time. Just before the crossbow was pulled, an indescribable screech rang out in the castle.

[Soul Shriek]

Everyone present felt as if their brains had been hit by a heavy hammer. In that instant, they completely lost control of their bodies.

The psionic magic was an aoe spell that harmed everyone in its effect.

Soul Shriek had a wide range of effects, and the mana consumption was also extremely intense. It only lasted for two seconds before it was forced to stop.

Pigeon’s body swayed and almost fell to the ground.

Joni and the others were nervous. They had done everything they could to buy a total of five seconds and gathered all the enemies together.

This was more than enough for Lin En. The pale yellow-white phosphorous powder was already floating in his palm, and it quickly expanded into a huge fireball that was half a meter tall.

The yellowish-white flames did not seem to be anything special, but the apprentices and priests present all felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

However, this huge fireball did not point at Aaron and the others. Instead, it flew into the air and disintegrated under everyone’s surprised gazes. Spark dragged white smoke and sprinkled it down from the sky like beautiful fireworks.

Barker’s face turned pale. He couldn’t help but wonder if the Pigeon’s [Soul Shriek] had interfered with Lin En’s spellcasting.

Fire magic had always been used in a concentrated and focused manner! It was not supposed to rain down like this!
