Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 186 Castle Defense

"We should not continue to run away from this problem. What if it is caused by our people? Should we throw it away? Why should we live in fear of Nazca? We should solve it thoroughly?" Osto said.
"It's easy for you to say that, but do you know how many people will bleed and sacrifice because of this?" Mott said.

"I know your decision is not wrong, but I'm just worried about something more terrible," said Osto.

General Mott did not continue to speak. He raised his head and looked at the strange flock of birds that were covering the sky like a dark cloud...

The sunny city gradually became dim, and the tranquil ocean was interrupted by a large amount of noisy sounds. The people of Lima have seen this terrifying scene, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.

These strange birds fly along the coastline, ignoring the city and the people...

They seemed to be chasing something. They flew over the Royal Felipe Castle, and the shadows they cast made many mages flee in panic.

……

The coastline is very long, and they have not yet found the abandoned old fort that Osto mentioned. As the strange bird tribe behind them is getting closer and closer, everyone doesn't even have the mind to talk. They just want to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Not long after they set foot in this country, they felt as if they were cursed. No matter where they went, these strange birds would follow them closely. Every time they went, they thought it would be the last time, and just when they were about to forget about it, the strange birds would attack again. It was so terrifying!
"In front, I saw it!" Li Kaifeng, who was running in the front, turned around and shouted.

They finally found an old fort near a rocky beach. It was an ancient building embedded between sea cliffs, with some areas submerged in sea water.

Osto really did not lie to them. The terrain of this ancient castle was very good. It could alleviate their predicament of being surrounded by enemies on all sides and make them feel a little more at ease.

They quickly rushed into the Sea Cliff Castle, which was empty. The castle was built in Spanish style and was very well preserved.

The stones of the Sea Cliff Castle seem very solid, and the strange birds cannot destroy them in a short time. Of course, just letting these strange birds peck at them is not an option. Once the castle is smashed by them, everyone will have no place to hide.

……

“There is a barrier. I didn’t expect this ancient castle to have one. Please buy me some time. I will revive the barrier. It should be able to support us for a while!” After Nan Jue entered the ancient castle, he immediately found something that could save his life.

This ancient castle barrier is so important to them now!
Upon hearing that there was still hope, most people naturally gritted their teeth and persevered, and Ai Jiangtu quickly assigned everyone to different positions in the castle.

There is a sea cliff behind the castle, the ocean below it, and thick defensive fortifications on both sides, so now they only need to block the enemies on one side.

"Let's defend in two groups, otherwise our magic power will be exhausted soon!" Ai Jiangtu said.

“We’ll guard it first, and you guys go search inside and find everything you can use,” said Mo Fan.

Mo Fan, Jiang Shaoxu, Zhao Manyan, Lin Ran, Mu Ningxue, and Mu Nujiao formed a group. They resisted at the entrance of the ancient castle, while the others conserved their energy.

Ai Jiangtu did not hesitate and led the others into the ancient castle quickly. The castle used to be a defensive fortress, so in addition to the barrier that Nanjue mentioned, there should be other things.

Everything that can be taken out must be used. Now is a matter of life and death, and everyone will do their best.

……

"With so many strange birds, they can't defend for long. Damn it, damn it, what kind of monsters are these birds?" Guan Yu cursed angrily.

"Who the hell knows? Anyway, they are definitely not chasing me. Maybe I can walk out and they won't care about me." Zu Jiming said.

"Then you can go and try." Ai Jiangtu said coldly after hearing the two people's complaints.

Zu Jiming shut up quickly. He really didn't dare to give it a try. Even if their whole group was killed by this strange bird tribe, he hoped that he would be the last one to die...

"There are still some remaining magic stones here. The barrier requires energy, and these magic stones will be of great use." Li Kaifeng said.

"Yes, but we need as many as possible. To support the defense barrier of an ancient castle, the energy consumption is very high." Ai Jiangtu said.

"We need to move faster. They won't be able to hold out for much longer."

"Twenty minutes should be the maximum. How much magic energy can be restored in just twenty minutes? Damn bastard General Mott, if I die here, I must leave a will and let my family kill his entire family!" Guan Yu cursed angrily.

"Rest quickly."

……

……

"Lin Ran, these strange birds should be chasing us. You should be able to stay in the city." Jiang Shaoxu looked at Lin Ran with some guilt and said.

The others naturally understood that if anyone could survive, it might be only Lin Ran who had not entered the Nazca forbidden land. But now he did not leave and even helped them, which really moved them. If it were Zu Mingji, he might have just turned around and left... One hundred thousand strange birds, this is an army of demons that can destroy a city. Individuals are too small in front of them. The friendship, family affection, and love that people talk about are completely vulnerable under this majestic and turbulent tide of demons.

Just as the others were moved, Mo Fan said cheerfully, "This guy is very capable. Don't worry about anything. Don't be polite at all."

Mo Fan leaned against the wall and looked at the people around him. Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao were very powerful, and he also had Lin Ran. There was Zhao Manyan for defense and Jiang Shaoxu for interference. It could be said that their pairing was already very good. In addition, there was Lin Ran who could use special powers at any time. If he used special powers, Lin Ran could deal with these strange birds alone. However, if he dealt with these strange birds, more would come next time, and even Lin Ran would be in trouble.

I hope we can find some reasons from this battle as to why they were attacked and why they were chased. This is also a rare opportunity for us to hone our skills!
Mo Fan felt that he really enjoyed these trainings. Every time was extremely exciting. It seemed that nothing good had ever happened when he was with Lin Ran. A large part of the time they were together was spent fighting monsters.

This is so depressing!
After hearing Mo Fan’s words, Zhao Manyan’s fear was dispelled.

……

"Si Ye Rules!"

While Mo Fan was talking nonsense, he set up a dark formation, but this time he did not put the giant shadow nail into it. He simply turned the entrance of the castle into darkness.

Darkness quickly enveloped the Sea Cliff Castle. Originally, this area of ​​the sky was occupied by strange birds, so it was not difficult to let in much sunlight. So now it was pitch dark and it was impossible to tell the direction...

"Zhu Nan·Strengthen!" At this time, Nan Rongni came out and unexpectedly cast a rare magic. Mo Fan's Siye Rule had only covered two-thirds of the castle entrance before, and there were still many areas that could not be completely covered. After all, Mo Fan had not mastered dark magic very well. However, after Nan Rongni's spell, Mo Fan found that the scope of his Siye Rule was rapidly expanded, and the dark aura became much stronger!

Now the entire entrance to the castle was covered. Mo Fan could clearly feel the panicked sounds of the strange birds that had entered this Siye area. As if they were trapped in a black quagmire, the strange birds began to struggle inexplicably.

"Is this the blessing system?" Mo Fan looked at Nan Rongni in surprise.

"Blessing system?" Lin Ran had never seen a blessing system before, although he was still quite curious.

The blessing system is one of the rare white magics. You can hardly see mages with this system in China, and even in many other countries, there is no such system. The blessing system is exclusive to the Parthenon. Only mages in the temple can awaken the blessing system after special guidance...

They had never expected that Nan Rongni's third system would awaken this unique blessing system!

Lin Ran had heard Ye Xinxia talk about some special abilities of the Blessing System before, but he didn't expect to see it now.

“It looks like the Nanrong family spent a huge amount of money…” Zhao Manyan whispered to Lin Ran and Mo Fan.

"It's a pity that he won't live long." Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but add.

Nan Rongni glared at Jiang Shaoxu fiercely. Would she die if she didn't mention this? She was resting, and she came to help them because she was worried about them. She didn't expect that Jiang Shaoxu was so annoying.

The blessing system's enhanced ability greatly increased the power of Mo Fan's Siye Rule, by about 30%. Some low-level monster birds were already fleeing frantically.

At this time, Lin Ran heard the sound of the strange bird flapping its wings, so he said, "Here it comes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange bird swooped towards Lin Ran.

"Snap!!!" A huge flaming dragon claw extended from behind Lin Ran, then grabbed the strange bird and crushed it to pieces.

Before the people had time to praise the strange birds, they came flying in groups.

Mu Ningxue said in a cold voice: "Ice Lock!!!"

"Kakakakakaka!!!"

The ice chain dragged on the ground and then suddenly stabbed out. Some strange birds that were unable to dodge in time were pierced. The ice chain could pierce quite a few strange birds at a time.

Zhao Manyan couldn't help but say, "Great."

The next second, a huge monster bird flew over and shattered Mu Ningxue's ice lock. It was very large and looked like a commander-level monster bird. Its sharp eyes locked onto Mu Ningxue, and it wanted to kill her.

It flapped its wings and quickly approached Mu Ningxue.

“Fiery Fist!!!!” Just as the strange bird was about to approach Mu Ningxue, a flaming fist burst out. The scorching flames began to singe the wings of the strange bird. It wanted to dodge, but the fist was too fierce and too fast, and it had no time to dodge.

"Bang!!!!" The flames wrapped up the strange bird and then blew it away.

The poor strange bird was turned into ashes bit by bit in the flames. The strange birds around it were even worse off, and some were turned into ashes just by being affected.

With one punch, Lin Ran killed the strange bird that was approaching the crowd. He was about to attack, but Mo Fan said, "Let us kill some of them. You just need to prevent anyone from dying."

Lin Ran: “…”

Mu Nujiao pulled Lin Ran behind her and said, "We also want to become stronger. We need to hone our skills. You just stay behind us to prevent any accidents."

"Okay then." Lin Ran said, then stepped behind a few people.

Jiang Shaoxu also walked over to Lin Ran and said, "These battle maniacs are really hard to understand. It's obvious that if you take action, everyone will be much more relaxed."

Hearing her words, Lin Ran looked at her and said, "They want to break through themselves. Aren't you going to help? I remember that your strength is a little bit worse than theirs. Aren't you afraid that the gap will get bigger if this continues?"

Jiang Shaoxu looked at Lin Ran and said, "I don't want to be a battle-crazed mage, and I'm not a destruction mage like them. I don't need to hone myself through fighting."

"Oh..." Lin Ran stopped talking. He leaned against the wall and looked at the people who were fighting. Mu Ningxue's ice element was getting stronger and stronger, and her ability to control ice was also getting stronger and stronger.

Mu Nujiao's plant magic was also much more powerful and difficult to deal with. Many of these strange birds were strangled by his vines. Zhao Manyan put shields on Mo Fan and his companions at the right moment, and several sneak attacks by the strange birds were unsuccessful.

After Nan Rongni cast blessing magic on several people, she recovered her magic power in a safe place. Seeing that Jiang Shaoxu didn't help, she couldn't help but say, "I don't know why you came here, you bastard."

Jiang Shaoxu said with a wry smile: "I came here because I wanted to. Unlike you, you spent a lot of family resources to barely come here. If you don't perform well this time, then your family's resources will be wasted. Instead of chatting with me here, you might as well think about how to improve your score.

You have to know that the indispensable person is Lin Ran, he is the one who cannot be moved, and you might be kicked out in the next city, hehe."

Except for Lin Ran, everyone else might be kicked out, even the team leader Ai Jiangtu. Without them, Lin Ran could still win alone. This was the confidence that the mentors had in kicking people out.

Nan Rongni stopped talking and looked away, but she hated Jiang Shaoxu more and more in her heart. This woman was like a wanton woman who had affairs everywhere. Women couldn't like her but men were fascinated by her.

Seeing Nan Rongni was silent, Jiang Shaoxu was like a rooster that had defeated its opponent. She said smugly, "How dare you talk to me? Don't you know that I'm very good at talking?"

Hearing her words, Lin Ran couldn't help but look at her lips, which were very sexy and moist.

When Jiang Shaoxu noticed Lin Ran's gaze, she was neither shy nor unhappy. She even deliberately stuck out her rosy and very long tongue.

Lin Ran's eyes suddenly widened, because her tongue was much longer than that of ordinary people.
