Chess Mage of Faerûn

Chapter 321 Laws and Decrees - Blindness
Burke watched this scene without comment, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the Berserker rushing towards the Stone Giant, about to destroy the opponent's strongest fighter. He coldly uttered the last syllable.

Before the incantation could even finish, a thick cloud of purple mist spread out, not only blocking Burke's vision, but also tasting so good that the old man could have a good drink.

It was Rikimaru, a petite assassin pawn with a figure as small as Xiao Si. Under Zhang Yuan's micro-management, he launched an attack together with the three tall men, Münster, and Rikimaru. When they retreated, Rikimaru was left to lie in wait in a low-lying area as a backup plan.

Already inconspicuous, and having just made a brief appearance that attracted all eyes and attention, no one cared or noticed that there was such a little guy huddled in the pit, motionless like a turtle.

It wasn't until the server crashed slightly and the enemy mage was nearing the end of their spellcasting that Rikimaru finally acted, unleashing his skill at the last moment.

Smoke bombs, this seemingly harmless ability, may appear to be nothing more than a monkey trick in a circus, but only those who experience it firsthand know how annoying it can be.

Not to mention the obstructed vision, the pungent and irritating gas, once inhaled, would cause one to cough incessantly, even bringing tears to one's eyes. As for any concentration during spellcasting, that's out of the question; attempting to cast spells under such adverse conditions is nothing short of a pipe dream.

only…

The law is blind!
A cold, seemingly suppressed voice rang out.

Before Master Zhang could even show a smile, a cold glint appeared on his face.

Damn little mouse, I've finally caught you!

If I had to describe Burke's feelings about this battle in two words, it would be:
suffocated.

If it's a proverb, it means "The turtle's mother opens the door for the turtle—it's been holding in all that time."

It's not that I haven't been defeated before, or even had to flee in defeat with no chance of fighting back, but at least those were when the difference in strength was clear and there was nothing to say about it.

But the guys on the other side, not to mention the other lackeys, that young mage was just ridiculously weird.

For someone of that age to be able to cast a fifth-circle spell with such ease is indeed a testament to exceptional talent, but that's about it. Whether it's their spellcasting skills or their accumulated experience, there's still a significant gap between them and me.

However, he didn't gain any advantage at all. Instead, he suffered repeated setbacks, including crossbow bombardment, demonic ambushes, and even the appearance of a giant stone elemental. Heaven knows where that guy got all these strange tricks from.

Just now, even an insignificant little monster sent by the other side tried to attack me from the shadows. This purple mist in front of me, which even through the barrier could faintly smell a spicy odor, did not look like anything good.

However, hmph…

Looking at the spell-neutral barrier surrounding him, Burke felt a surge of exhilaration; he had finally turned the tables.

A little trick is just a little trick. A monkey's trick can't work every time. Even if you lose the initiative and have almost run out of cards, you'll still be the one laughing last!

Once the other side fails even once, this cat-and-mouse game can be declared over.

Like, now.

Knowing that things might change if he waited too long, Burke acted decisively, pulling out another scroll without hesitation, which appeared to be of high quality.

Indeed, he once again used the Seventh Ring Lightning Storm, a spell with a wide range and high destructive power, as a decisive means.

A blind rat can't bite people, and the real danger is that it might suddenly dart away and escape.

It's a pity that I haven't been able to take the next step and master the power of the Eighth Ring's laws; otherwise, my chances would be much greater.

Burke had misunderstood. Law spells have their own unique characteristics and can basically be regarded as a composite spell of spells from other schools.

Lawful spells, also known as mantra spells, communicate and connect with the power of other planes through verbal symbols and guide their casting. In general, they are a type of spellcasting, but their underlying mechanisms are not entirely the same. Zhang Yuan naturally couldn't resist the Lawful Blindness spell, which connects with the negative energy of the necromancy school, and was directly blinded. However, when it came to the Lawful Intimidation spell, which mobilizes the mind and enchantment school, it had very little effect on someone with the necklace protecting them.

Just as Burke unfurled the scroll, a series of piercing screams reached his ears.

Help! Help! Help!
It was that lower-class barbarian's voice.

The demon's voice was quite distinctive. Burke looked over in surprise, then his eyes widened and he froze on the spot.

The Berserker, who was originally going to ambush the Stone Giant, was instead pinned to the ground and beaten mercilessly.

What is this ghost?

Berserker Demon also wanted to ask this question.

Just moments ago, as he rushed forward intending to kill the stone giant and vent his anger, the moment his claws touched the giant's body, those originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, and a faint blue light shone directly onto his face.

It sent chills down my spine!

The problem was that I charged too fast and couldn't brake in time, crashing headfirst into the stone statue's arms...

That damn Balo monk is so unreliable.

Just now, Xiao Xiao was hit by the banishment spell, and the consciousness projection that had descended on this body was directly sent back to the main body that was imprisoned in the Mad Moon.

Xiao Xiao was completely bewildered upon returning. "I haven't even gotten on the bus yet! I've only been here a few minutes and you've already brought me back?"

Zhang Yuan on the other side also received a system notification:

"The connection between the Samsung Tiny Core consciousness and the chess piece container has been interrupted. Do you want to spend 30 energy points to re-establish the connection?"

So that's how it is. The physical body of the chess piece was unaffected by the banishment spell, but the consciousness projected from a distant otherworld was kicked out of Faerûn...

However, can it reconnect after a disconnection?

Without hesitation, Zhang Yuan chose "yes" and began a series of outrageous maneuvers, intending to give the other party a double surprise. However, he ended up outsmarting himself and was instead hit with the "Lawful Blindness" spell.

Fortunately, the system and Xiao Xiao were still reliable, which led to the good show that Burke saw.

Burke was quite experienced and had seen many different kinds of situations, but he still found it hard to imagine that the Berserker, who was known as the orthodox Tanari and was a vital force (high-quality cannon fodder) for the Abyss even in the Blood War, would be as powerless as a mangy dog ​​being held down and beaten by its shrewish female master.

Perhaps the more experienced Berserker had something to say, but he simply didn't have time. As one of the main characters in this drama, he was currently playing the role of a drowning dog and was only focused on calling for help.

The opponent's heavy punches were truly unbearable. They were no ordinary punches; they were more like the hammer of a Titan or a meteor falling from the sky. After just a few punches, half of his body was shattered, and blood flowed freely from his mouth and nose.

Now he can only hope that the monk will soon lift the restrictions on him so that he can escape this sea of ​​suffering.

"Hold on! Persevere, there is hope if you persevere."

Upon receiving this news, the berserker demon was too exhausted to even curse, and was overwhelmed by the small but powerful punches, rolling back to his abyss home to report for duty.
