Mages Are Too OP

Chapter 647 I’m Not Afraid of a Melee Battle

The devils barely had any battle formations. Their only tactic was that the Warriors led the charge, the Archers stayed in the center, and the Mages covered the rear.

Based on their experience in invading the main plane, all they needed to do was charge and the humans would collapse after a moment of resistance.

Their Mages and Archers didn’t need any protection at all.

It was exactly because of this stereotype that Roland got an opportunity.

The Black Bone Mages were of similar size to human beings, but they were small for devils.

But that was the reason why they developed the unique Black Bone Sorcery and claimed their spot in the middle of the hierarchy in the Realm of Devils.

The leader of the Black Bone Mages was called Hulu Heizo. He looked no different from other Black Bone Mages, his face covered by a wooden mask.

The other Black Bone Mages’ masks were gray, but his was black and much bigger.

Hulu Heizo was so surprised that his eyes were popping out when his allies in the front line were blocked by the human Shield Warriors.

When did human beings become so strong?

Should we help? Hulu Heizo shouted over his shoulder, asking his compatriots to perform their spells freely. Exhaustion, Stun, or other offensive spells would all help.

But after he finished shouting, he sensed that something wasn’t right.

A rather immense mass of mental power suddenly burst out from the enemy.

Then, the central point of the mental power quickly moved to his compatriots. Was it a flash?

When Hulu Heizo thought this, a human being emerged among them.

As he appeared, the air was twisting quickly.

Hulu Heizo felt that something was seriously wrong.

It was normal that air twisting came along with a flash, but the air shouldn’t have been twisted so intensely on such a large scale.

It was… an attack!

Hulu Heizo reacted promptly and was about to yell for his compatriots to be careful, but it was too late.

After Roland reappeared, the air twisted first and then pressed away.

All the Black Bone Mages within a twenty-meter radius were knocked away and vomited blood.

The enemies that were closest to him were reduced to smithereens in midair.

“Attack…”

Hulu Heizo roared and pointed at Roland.

He was quite perplexed, and found it unbelievable that a human Mage, famous for their vulnerability, was bold enough to flash to the enemy side.

Was the man going to detonate and kill himself?

Right at this moment, Roland snapped his fingers.

The air instantly began flowing, and a visible tornado took shape around the man.

The tornado appeared very fast with a high attraction force. The Black Bone Mages that were close to Roland were all sucked in.

There was nothing but glittering pieces of ice in the tornado.

“Run!”

n

Hulu Heizo roared an order, but it was too late. The tornado expanded at a high speed. Soon enough, more than half of his people were absorbed.

Continuous screams came from the tornado while it raged.

The previously gray and black tornado turned red at a high speed, partly because the soil was red and partly due to the blood of his compatriots. “What’s… going on?” Hulu Heizo trembled, his heart full of anger and fear at once.

The Black Bone Clan wasn’t a populous clan. The thousand people here were already one-tenth of the adults in the clan.

This tornado had easily killed half of them.

But it wasn’t over yet. After the tornado turned red, ice blades that had been dyed red were thrown out of the tornado.

They were fast and lethal. Every dart of the ice blades could pierce through the Black Bone Clan’s relatively fragile bodies.

At the same time, a lot of Black Bone Clan people were lifted and thrown away with twisted and skinned bodies.

Those compatriots who were thrown out had lost their breath.

Hulu Heizo was stunned. He gazed at the bloody tornado in grief.

At this moment, one of the overwhelming ice blades hit him.

It penetrated the surface of his dark element shield and was stuck in the middle of it.

He even sensed that his mental power had significantly dropped.

He was the strongest Mage in his clan. If he couldn’t defend against the ice blades, the others certainly couldn’t.

“Run! Run for your lives!” Hulu Heizo raised his wand and waved it crazily. His voice couldn’t reach far in the strong wind.

However, the other Black Bone Mages weren’t stupid. They all activated their defense spells and tried to escape.

Nevertheless, the effective attack range of the ice blades was too great, and the tornado was attractive and slowed them down.

Some of the Black Bone Mages even found that they grew closer and closer to the tornado while they were running.

They cried in fright. The smarter ones lay down on the ground to reduce the wind resistance and then crawled away.

That didn’t really help.

The tornado was moving very fast, even faster than their running

Also, it was sweeping toward where they were mostly gathered.

Soon enough, another two hundred Black Bone people were swallowed by the tornado.

At this moment, the tornado stopped for a few seconds.

Roland was inside the eye of the tornado, where there was no wind. However, he couldn’t see the outside due to the red soil and blood in the tornado; he could only sense the environment with mental power.

Ten seconds later, he found the enemies that were closest to him and largest in number.

They were a troop of maddened bone devils that were directly under Ryan’s command.

The tornado moved on to that troop which had at least ten thousand soldiers. Hulu Heizo and the other few Black Bone Mages who survived were greatly delighted to see that the tornado was moving away.

But then they saw their compatriots’ twisted bodies that were thrown out of the tornado now and then. They fell silent.

Hulu Heizo took off his mask, showing a face that was very similar to that of a human being. The only difference was that his eyes were much bigger, at least twice as big as those of a human.

His face was twisted because of pain and regret. Dropping the mask heavily to the ground, Hulu Heizo roared furiously, “I curse you! I curse you to live forever in pain and plague. I curse your family and descendants to never live in peace and to always be haunted by misfortune without ever being able to get what they want!”

The mask on the ground turned into a black skull. A lot of black and green energy surged out of his body and mixed with the black skull, turning it into a pile of mud that was disgustingly greasy and barely recognizable.

Then, the pile of mud charged at the tornado.

It wasn’t affected by the tornado at all but hit Roland precisely like a missile.

It was fast and soundless when it passed the tornado, and Roland happened to be looking in the opposite direction.

So, Roland had no idea that he was ambushed.

When it hit Roland, it turned into a gigantic green web and was about to bind him. At this moment, three masses of energy in the appearance of three women appeared behind him.

One of them was green, one purple, and the last gray.

The web of energy vanished like dust before it even reached the three women.

The three small masses of energy disappeared too.

Roland sensed something wrong and looked back. He didn’t find anything and thought that it was just an illusion, so he focused on controlling the tornado to blow at the bone devils.

Hundreds of meters behind Roland, Hulu Heizo suddenly vomited green blood that was mixed with chunks of lung and collapsed.

He didn’t know what happened up until the moment he died.

At this moment, Ryan was walking unhurriedly in the middle army. Lawrence had given the command to “help with the attack.”

That was why he asked his subordinates to march on slowly.

He had already seen the tornado behind him.

But he didn’t want to do anything about it. It was the tradition of devils to accomplish their mission and take care of their problems on their own.

Nobody would come to their rescue if they were caught in danger in a war without the order of a superior commander.

While walking backward, he watched the tornado almost annihilate the Mage troops with little sympathy on his face.

But he was quite wary of the mental energy in the tornado, because he had sensed that the energy came from the human Mage who launched two special fireballs as well as the spatial crevice at his troops earlier.

So, he didn’t want to rescue his allies, and he didn’t dare to, either.

He even felt that the death of the Mage troop was worth it, because they consumed the enemy’s mental power.

He had already sensed the magic power capacity of that Mage from the previous two battles.

At this moment, he estimated that the Mage had already used half of it.

Using half and saving the other half was a habit of human Mages in war.

“You’re probably going,” Ryan muttered to himself.

But outside of his expectation, the tornado moved toward his army of bone devils.

“Wait!” What are you trying to do?

Ryan’s eyes glittered. Military credit was important to the devils. He would be appreciated by his boss Paimon if he could eliminate a powerful target. As for the casualties in his troop… That was his own concern.

A feudal system had been implemented here. One would raise and keep one’s own troops, which would be their sole responsibility.

“Are you being arrogant?”

Ryan took out the broken horn on his waist and sounded it.

A dull sound echoed throughout the battlefield.

All the ten thousand bone devils tried to flee when they saw the red tornado, but the horn asked them to charge.

They had to charge.

The bone devils instantly went berserk and ran toward the tornado.

Many bone devils were struck down by the dense ice blades as they approached the tornado.

However, still more bone devils, stepping on their comrades’ bodies and raising their weapons, ran toward the tornado.

They were like a swarm of ants that was moving to an enormous swirl. A tremendous number of bone devils were crushed, and still more were lifted by the tornado.

Screams and roars were echoing at the same time.

There were so many bone devils that even the tornado seemed to have been slowed down.

At this moment, Ryan moved.

He flapped his wings and moved faster and faster, until he knocked aside all the bone devils on his way and crashed into the tornado like the locomotive of a high-speed train.

Dense ice blades stabbed into him… for only three meters. They barely pierced through his scales.

An infinite number of ice blades were hanging from his body as if they were his organs.

But there was no fear on his face at all, and he broke into the tornado right away.

His body was enormous; he weighed at least four tons. It was impossible for the tornado to pull him into its spiral.

Eventually, he passed through the thick curtain of wind and reached the eye.

He saw a human being who seemed to be looking at him in surprise.

Then he smiled. “Gotcha, sleazy human boy.”

He raised his right hand and tossed a human magic scroll to the ground.

It was a Dimensional Anchor Scroll. Although human beings had a bad relationship with the Realm of Devils, it didn’t mean that there were no deals between them!

Ryan had long wanted to take down this Mage. He knew that the Mage was capable of spatial magic, so he asked for a Dimensional Anchor Scroll from Paimon.

He didn’t expect that he would have a chance to use it so quickly.

“You will die today…”

He pretentiously raised the axe in his right hand and pointed at the enemy. But he was dazed very soon, because he found that the human being didn’t seem scared at all.

Not only was the Mage unafraid, but he did not even cringe!

Instead, the Mage’s eyes were glittering.

Dozens of blue hands descended from the sky and clenched into fists, moving to Ryan.

“Hands of Magic?” He was rather confused. “But shouldn’t they be smaller?”

While he was thinking, the fists had already started punching him in rapid succession.

Each punch of those fists would result in a sonic explosion.

Dozens of fists punched out quickly and then moved back, creating a dense barrage of fists!

What the hell?

Ryan was rather surprised. He tried to block the fists with two axes, but there were too many fists for him to block all of them.

Many of the fists punched the left side of his body or his forearms.

Thumps sounded nonstop.

He couldn’t create a Magic Shield. His greatest defense was his scales, which were harder than the Magic Shield of Mages of his level.

However… the previously indestructible scales didn’t work. He felt that every punch of the fists was hitting his flesh. In no more than ten seconds, he realized that his scales were dropping, and his pink flesh was being exposed.

Excruciating pain then came along.

He was truly scared.

He roared with all his strength. The intense soundwaves tore apart the air and briefly paused the gigantic hands in midair.

He seized the opportunity to fly out of the tornado as fast as possible.

He flapped his wings even faster than when he came, and only his blurred afterimages could be seen.

Roland didn’t expect him to escape so quickly. Also, he was too busy controlling the tornado and the Hands of Magic to stop him.

So, he could only watch the guy flee.

Ryan, breaking out of the tornado in panic, was fully covered by ice blades.

He was gravely wounded this time.

The front part of his body where scales had dropped was covered in ice blades and blood.
