A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 300 Fierce Battle with Risco

"And just a heads up, you've fallen for their trap."

As soon as he finished speaking, the projection exploded instantly, and the assassin was covered in dust.

The assassin tried to dodge, but it was too late. In a mere second, and with the traps being interconnected, he was struck by a human immobilization spell.

Even with specialized training, he couldn't possibly dodge a freezing spell at such close range.

The dust is a developing dust, its function is to break cloaking, and it is very difficult to remove.

Obviously, an assassin covered in spectral dust is essentially rendered useless.

"A spellbreaker assassin... No wonder they're from the Church of the Protector God; they must have put a lot of effort into training someone like this, right?"

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Jiang Shuzhou emerged from the shadows, holding a scythe transformed from a bladed staff in his hand.

The person hiding in the shadows wasn't just that magic-breaking assassin. Jiang Shuzhou had long ago realized that there were many people buried here, so he directly concealed his figure and used projection magic to see them.

These people were stalling for time to buy the assassin an opportunity to strike. Jiang Shuzhou's cooperation was to lure the assassin out.

Although Jiang Shuzhou could sense it, he couldn't lock onto the magic-breaking assassin. After all, the opponent had undergone specialized training, and it was targeted training. Jiang Shuzhou's ability to detect something was already a remarkable talent.

"It's a pity that it's all over now. You thought you were the hunters and I was the prey, but little did you know that you were the prey. The hunter and the prey are just positions that anyone can play, and anyone can do."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou swung his scythe, intending to cut the magic-breaking assassin in two.

clang.

Paley, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, struck a classic warrior pose, forcefully blocking the attack with his shield.

At the same time, his shield was undoubtedly badly damaged and almost cut in two.

"It seems your weapons aren't of very good quality?"

Jiang Shuzhou made a sarcastic remark, and then continued casting spells.

Wind Blade, Fireball, Death Finger, Strike, Fear, and other spells surged directly towards the crowd present.

He single-handedly displayed the power of an entire mage guild.

In just a few seconds, a barrage of spells caused immense suffering to everyone present.

Use Fear to disrupt the enemy's mind, then use the remaining spells to attack them.

"God will protect His people."

The paladin casts a group divine protection, instantly shielding all allies with a thick shield.

The priest, not to be outdone, immediately used a dispelling spell and prepared to summon angels for help.

Jiang Shuzhou naturally wouldn't let the opponent successfully summon it. He directly used a spell to counter it, and at the same time, he used a short teleportation to swing his giant scythe and slash at the spellbreaker assassin again.

His objective was clear: kill the assassin first, since that was the most dangerous thing for Jiang Shuzhou, as it would inflict real injuries and allow him to conceal himself and launch a sneak attack.

With the divine magic countered, the priest had no choice but to cast Holy Light Enchantment to enhance the weapons of the paladins and others.

Jiang Shuzhou made no comment on this. At this moment, he was countering the magic network mage's spells, casting spells while frantically attacking the spell-breaking assassin with his scythe.

Multitasking is fundamental.

"Why, why can't I cast a spell!"

Compared to divine magic, spells are much easier to counter, especially those who have no knowledge of magic and rely entirely on the Goddess of Magic to temporarily improve their abilities.

This kind of person probably doesn't even know the rules.

The same is true.

Or rather, among those present, only Jiang Shuzhou, Peli, and the Spellbreaker Assassin understood the rules.

The Lawbreaker Assassin possesses some of the rules regarding death, as well as the rules regarding stealth, which is why Jiang Shuzhou was unable to lock onto him.

However, now that he is covered in the dust of the mirror image and Jiang Shuzhou's mental power has locked onto him, he can no longer launch a sneak attack and is basically useless. He only has high attack power, but he dares not force a direct confrontation with Jiang Shuzhou.

The main problem is that he can't win. Yes, it's ridiculous that an assassin can't beat a mage in melee combat.

Ding ding ding.

Pei struggled to parry Jiang Shuzhou's scythe with his sword.

Damn, why is a mage so strong in both melee and magical combat?

This is a common feeling in everyone's mind.

"Hurry! If the magic network is gone, I'm completely useless!"

The words of the magician echoed around them, but no one paid any attention to them at this moment.

After all, this guy is practically useless now. He's been countered by Jiang Shuzhou's crazy spells and can't cast any spells. He's completely useless. His only purpose is to release spatial anchors.

"Evil scoundrels, die!"

The paladin rushed towards Jiang Shuzhou, intending to teach him a lesson.

The Holy Slash!

The paladin's strikes were fierce and swift, but to no avail.

Jiang Shuzhou wasn't stupid, and paladins didn't have any rules to increase their hit rate, so Jiang Shuzhou simply used Blink to dodge the attack.

The spatial anchor of the magic network mage is just a very common standard spell, and it's only a matter of time before Jiang Shuzhou can break it.

Furthermore, spatial anchors do not completely freeze and anchor space, but rather make space more difficult to tear apart and disrupt the coordinate positioning of spatial spells, making them more prone to errors after being released, thus easily generating spatial turbulence.

Judging from the way the magician was constantly countered by Jiang Shuzhou, he didn't seem like someone with such high level of knowledge.

The spatial anchor he released could only restrict long-distance spatial movement, and was completely ineffective against ultra-short-distance spatial movement like Jiang Shuzhou's.

"Damn it!"

Everyone realized that if Jiang Shuzhou wanted to leave, he could leave at any time, since multi-segment spatial movement could also be regarded as long-distance movement.

Jiang Shuzhou would not stop his offensive because of their thoughts.

He teleported directly in front of the magic mage, swung his scythe, and simultaneously cast spells that flew towards the priest and the spellbreaker assassin.

The two are in opposite directions. If the paladin chooses to protect the magic mage, then the priest will suffer. A large number of spells will severely injure him.

If he chooses to protect the priest, then the magic mage will die.

If we rely solely on reason, then the paladin would protect the magic network mage. After all, a priest can recover from serious injuries through divine magic, and if the magic network mage dies, some of Jiang Shuzhou's energy will be released, and the energy that was originally used for spell counterattacks will be used to attack them.

But that's impossible. After all, what exactly is a magic network mage?

He was neither a believer in God nor associated with any guardian deity, and he was also a sorcerer.

So, the paladin instantly convinced himself that this was to protect his fellow priests, as for the magic mage?

He was powerless to do anything.

Snapped.

Like the sound of shattering glass, the shield on the magic mage broke.

"I'm sorry, you're out."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand back and flashed again, directly catching up with the fleeing magic network mage.

Swish.

A fine head fell to the ground; the first victim appeared.

He will be the first, but not the last.

Half of Risco was leveled by the aftershocks of the spell, Jiang Shuzhou said, standing in the center.

Soon, there will be nothing left here.
