“What now, what now?” Mason repeated in distress, and his face was filled with anxiety . Even if the trio was very proficient in their skills, there would still be a limit to it . Faced with a continuous stream of Three-eyed Blood Wolves, apart from the Archmage who could escape with his Spell of Levitation, any mages would have died of exhaustion from battling them .
Not to mention the level-nine Mason, his two teammates who were much stronger than him might not even have any odds of success .
After all, mages were just mortals…
“Kill the King Wolf,” said Orrin in a concise manner; his eyes were fixed mercilessly on the pack of wolves .
It was scarlet all around; thus, the grayish-white coat of the King Wolf seemed particularly glaring . In that moment, it was growling aggressively, and its eye reflected an ominous flickering red glow . Under its call, the never-ending stream of Three-eyed Blood Wolves emerged from the thickets like a sea of red blood .
“Kill them,” Lin Li said as he gritted his teeth .
Subsequently, the two men heard a hurried strong gush of recital . It was Lin Li, who was trying to channel all of his mental strength into compressing the duration of his recital . The recitation of the Spell of Frost usually required five seconds to complete, but Lin Li only used a mere three seconds . If it were other mages, they would suffer a backlash from their own spell due to the rapid recitation .
Following the last character of the recitation, the temperature of the air that was raised by the Fiery Meteors not long ago fell to the freezing point instantaneously . White fog filled the air, and the magical element of biting ice froze around 10 wolves, turning them into ice sculptures in the blink of an eye .
Although this aggroed more enemies, increasing the number of howling wolves, Lin Li did not stop reciting spells after the first Frost Spell . Just when a few wolves were about to approach him, he unleashed the Spell of Swamp . That was a level-12 spell with the ability to result in the same impact as the Decaying Spell . At once, those wolves were engulfed by the swamp .
Even after all these, Lin Li did not take any breather, but proceeded to cast the Hastening Spell onto himself .
With that spell, Lin Li moved nimbly and swiftly as though he was an agile fish . Throughout his journey, he made a few sudden turns and stops, and with the help of the thick thicket, he managed to get rid of the pack of wolves that was previously following him tightly .
At the same time, he did not cease his attack with the wind blades . With every brief stop he made, the soft sound created by flying wind blades would be followed by the death of a wolf .
At this critical juncture when lives were at stake, Lin Li exerted all of his abilities .
And it was only then that his two teammates were brought to full realization of how powerful that self-proclaimed level-seven Mage was .
Both men were totally dumbfounded by that freak after witnessing how that Frost Spell was released .
That was a recitation of a level-four spell that got compressed by half…
From the day Matthias became a cripple from fighting with Lin Li, the two men knew that their teammate had really great powers . Although they had no idea as to how capable this freak truly was, they were very certain that there were no words they could use to describe his abilities .
To them, the power to cast the Spell of Frost like that was not what a human would be capable of .
In judging the abilities of a Mage, the most important aspect was to look at how long they took to shorten their recitation of spells .
The higher his level, the shorter the time a Mage would be able to recite his spell in .
In most situations, a Magic Shooter could only compress the recitation for a spell of level-one or level-two . Once the spell reached level-three and above, any forceful attempt to compress it would no doubt cause it to deal the damage to the Mage himself . Due to the complexity of the magical elements in a spell, only an experienced and knowledgeable Archmage had the skills to compress a level-four spell .
Yet, this universal law could not be applied to a crazy Mage like Lin Li at all .
Based on the ability of Magic Shooters, if Lin Li could compress a level-four spell forcefully without any repercussions, would there be anything else that could challenge that beast?
Mason and Orrin were stupefied . Both of them sighed after glancing at each other .
The common sense of humans was not to be applied to beasts…
The wind blades that came after seemed so unreal to them .
They had never seen any Mage with such nimbleness and speed . Neither had they met one who could integrate speed with magic so seamlessly . The method undertaken by Lin Li to attack the wolves with the created distance between them seemed as though every step was a carefully calculated one .
Looking at how fast the freak killed the enemies, Mason could not help but curse with admiration . “F*ck! I'm impressed!”
He just could not help it…
Speaking about experience in battling magical beasts, Lin Li was totally an expert adventurer . Mason, who grew up receiving the traditional magic education, had no right to even try to compare himself with Lin Li .
“Idiot! Why are you still in a daze?” chided Orrin as he glared at Mason . Being a Magic Shooter himself, Orrin had a stronger mental strength to deal with unexpected situations . Although he was also stunned by his freakish teammate, he was able to recover faster than Mason .
“I'll really turn into an idiot if you keep calling me so…” Mason sulked in guilt as he was brought back to reality . It was rare that he did not fight back this time when Orrin insulted him . After that, like Orrin, Mason started his recitation .
These three men were not weaklings . They did not need any prior discussion on their battle strategy .
Right after Orrin and Mason started their recital, Lin Li changed his tactics .
Having taken a breather amidst the pack of wolves, he did not employ his wind blades immediately, but raised his staff and started to recite the Swamp Spell .
As a ray of light shot out from the Winter Staff, air bubbles surfaced from the empty and wide field ahead of them . Next, the first few wolves that were leaping towards them were wholly engulfed by the mud—no time for cries .
In the blink of an eye, the wolves lost nearly ten of their own kind . No matter how dumb these wolves were, they would have realized the danger of the swamp . Under the threat of impending doom, almost all of the Three-eyed Blood Wolves chose to retreat .
With the help of the swamp, Lin Li finally had the time to catch his breath .
Yet, he chose to continue to recite the spell .
At this moment, Lin Li had already reached his limits .
Delirium, Mind Control, and Hysteria…
Magical elements surged turbulently like ferocious flood . The recitation that was previously flowing in cadence became rushed and monotonous, and also carried a faint sense of jaggedness . Lin Li, who never had to worry about his stamina, started to feel exhausted . He broke out in sweat, and his right hand that was grabbing tightly onto the Winter Staff also reflected the bulging green veins of his .
The three types of Mental Spells were unleashed at once . The Spell of Hysteria broke out on the King Wolf, and that was followed by the Spell of Mind Control on one of its nearest comrades . Subsequently, the Spell of Delirium broke out too…
A sound of piercing cry could be heard . The wolf that was under the Spell on Mind Control started to show aggression towards its King Wolf .
“Sizzzz…” After a ripping sound, silence filled the entire jungle . All of the Three-eyed Blood Wolf seemed as though they were in a daze .
“Arwooooo…”
The howling of the King Wolf reverberated throughout the jungle . It was a sound that carried rage and fury . Having lost its dignity to a small wolf, the Spell of Hysteria that hit the King Wolf started to take its effects . Its anger and aggressiveness were amplified, and the red light from the eye on its forehead began to blink like thick droplets of blood .
That grayish-white shadow moved like a sudden bolt of lightning .
To the other wolves, the King Wolf at least level-12 was an almighty existence . Its strength greatly surpassed any other wolves' . Under its rage, it went beyond terrorizing . The wolf that dared to offend the King Wolf was torn into pieces by its razor-sharp claws and teeth .
At that moment, fresh blood splattered all over, and torn limbs were strewn everywhere . The bloodstained coat of the King Wolf emitted a strong stench of blood, and this triggered its desire to kill…
