Half-elf Notebook

Fourth-level magic, strengthened arrows.

A spell to strengthen magic arrows, a magic that is so common that it cannot be more common.

Its characteristic is that it has specialized penetrating ability as magic power is injected, and most of the time its power will only leave a hole with a diameter of one to two centimeters in the human body.

But this was in the hands of a magician who had been immersed in the upper wizard level for many years.

Its penetrating power is enough to penetrate any temporary battle protection put up by a Silver rank or magic shield below level six.

And what he was aiming at was the young man's chest.

The young bounty hunter could almost hear the groaning of his own bones and muscles driven by the battle breath.

As one of the kingdom's top masters, he made the right choice the moment he realized the danger.

His down-to-earth legs gave him room to perform.

Bang bang bang bang!

At the moment of falling to one side, he raised his musket and released all the firepower inside.

Then he was blown away by a powerful force.

"Interesting magical weapon, using compressed magic power as a propellant instead of black powder?"

"Between the third and fourth levels, the upper limit is five rounds of ammunition at a time, which is even more powerful than the best fragmentation gun bullets."

"...and it's real ammunition. Judging from its power, it has reached the standard of a fourth-tier magic weapon."

Shu Xi looked at the five pellets that hovered in front of his chest and then fell off.

A high-level deceleration force field, superimposed on the sixth-level magic activated by the black robe - real protection.

You're thinking too much that this little power could hurt him.

"It is very arrogant of you not to press on with your victory, Mr. Wizard Wayne."

The young man landed quietly. From his steady and light appearance, it was obvious that he was not injured.

Without reloading, the long-box musket-like magic weapon has a capacity of more than five rounds...

Shu Xi showed the smile that he usually had on his face and said:

"Not necessarily. For a magician, preparation itself is also a form of attack. For example, right now you cannot confirm whether I am performing a magic chant."

"I am very honored and surprised that you know a little baron like me."

During the conversation, Shu Xi took out a letter, held it up with his mental power, and handed it to the princess behind him.

"South District, 7th Street, 05 Residence, give it to the person inside and tell her that Shu Xi asked her to do so."

The light blue barrier shattered.

The two assassins who had just rushed out of the shelter looked at their chests in astonishment, their eyes full of confusion and despair.

It was a hole, a hole through which they could see the scene behind them.

Of course, these little things in the distance did not really attract the attention of the young man at the center of the battle.

Boom!

Gunshots rang out and the young man started running again.

He had noticed Shu Xi's little move, but unfortunately he was powerless to stop it.

The careful probing attack created distance between the two men, but it also wasted his time.

Shu Xi's strength and casting speed far exceeded his imagination.

Fifty meters, this is the default critical distance that determines the outcome between a silver-level magician and a professional.

It's getting blurry at this point.

"It's just like a seventh-level monster armed with magic power and a bunch of magic items. It's a calm and rational monster."

Seeing his attacks being resolved one by one, the young man silently came to a conclusion in his heart.

He had no doubt that the distance between them should be increased, or Shu Xi should be given more time.

The balance of victory may not necessarily tilt towards you.

And this will become a reality when the princess who needs protection disappears.

The two bullets fired at the princess penetrated Shu Xi's flesh and blood, exploding into two balls of blood mist.

It made his left shoulder and upper arm lean back half an inch.

Blood gushed out from the wound, quickly soaking the black robe.

"Ammunition made entirely of magic-breaking metal?"

Feeling the severe pain in his shoulder, Shu Xi smiled bitterly:

"What a generous move."

Several sixth-order magic arrays appeared in the void beside him.

A torrent of magical power carrying terrifying energy submerged the place where the young man had originally stood.

The young man ran sideways, and the beam of light swept past him.

The high temperature and magical explosion left a gully that tore the ground behind him.

One second is not much, it can even be said to be fleeting.

But it was enough to end this inhuman chase.

Three shots were fired in succession.

The magic circles around Shu Xi were shattered one after another.

The backlash of magic was like a thin needle, piercing into his mind.

It made him stagger and take a step back.

The beam of light was like a burnt-out kerosene lamp, gradually disappearing into the darkness, only the terrifying high temperature still burning the atmosphere.

The bright blue fluorescence faded, and the hunter was within sight.

But the winner has been decided.

"I won." Shu Xi smiled and looked at the young man in front of him with a frown and declared.

In the second, a bright red line of blood appeared on the powerful magician's throat under the thin white sword, and his body flew sideways like a piece of rag.

…………

"monster……"

The young man said this.

Even he himself did not notice that there was a hint of fear in his voice when he said this.

What responded to him was a figure emerging from the void.

"You can't blame others for your poor skills, Hunter."

Shu Xi still smiled, and pointed to his neck with the hand holding the staff:

"Isn't it the normal way for wizards to use sixth-level healing spells to recover from injuries? My innate ability only makes my casting speed slightly faster."

The blood stopped flowing out, and the wound was shrinking, healing, and disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If it weren't for the large red area and part of the shirt that was soaked.

Maybe no one would have thought of it.

Not long ago, it was a fatal wound that cut a man's neck in half with a right-in, left-out attack.

"If you have the ability to neutralize my magic, that blow should crush my esophagus and trachea and sever my cervical vertebrae."

Shu Xi paused.

"This way, I will need at least one minute longer, or even longer, to heal my wounds."

Of course, the wounds caused by the magic-destroying bullets are another matter... he added in his heart.

The young man's expression turned ugly for the first time.

He quickly took out a long box and a small cylinder of unknown material from his pocket.

Then, right in front of Shu Xi's eyes, the hunter pressed the cylinder.

"call out!"

A scarlet light bullet soared straight up until it hung high in the sky like countless stars.

At this moment, the young man had already squeezed out the old box on the musket with the new box.

"twenty minutes."

"Twenty minutes? Are you a little too confident to block me?"

Two small bullets, the front halves of which were deformed and the back halves of which were cylindrical, fell out of the wound on Shu Xi's shoulder and hit the ground.

He swung his arms, feeling the sharp pain in his legs.

The young bounty hunter shook his head and sighed bitterly:

"I think so too. It's just that the reward of 500,000 gold coins is too hard to give up."

Wands and gun muzzles faced each other, and the whistling sound of gunfire and the biting heat once again swept through this uninhabited area.
