Arcane Journey

Chapter 43 Chaos Messenger

——"Ice Sword Explosion!"

The human sword mage's brown-red hair fluttered, and his silver-gray cold eyes locked on the three charging drow warriors.

She opened her jade lips lightly, murmured a spell quickly and in a low voice, and the palm of her left hand was suddenly filled with icy energy.

Immediately afterwards, she gently stroked her energy-filled left hand over the silvery shimmering rune sword in her right hand.

"Crack!"

With an imperceptible sound, frost crystals instantly covered the surface of the blade.

The sword mage's delicate and beautiful face seemed to be dancing, and the rune sword swept away around her slender body, suddenly releasing a strange freezing cold mist.

The moment the three drow warriors who rushed up broke into the mist, their terrified expressions were instantly frozen on their ebony faces, and the ice spread all over their bodies at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into crystal clear ice sculptures.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There were explosions one after another, like a frozen lake breaking.

The ice sculptures of the three drow warriors were instantly shattered.

——"Thunder burst!"

The sword mage's attack did not stop. She held up the sharp rune sword, the blade glowing with mithril luster, and in the high-frequency vibration, outlined the dark purple lightning rune.

"Boom!"

Along with the roar of thunder, a bolt of lightning tore through the darkness. Under the guidance of the sword mage's rune sword, it fell like a waterfall of noise pouring down on the head of a drow wizard who was chanting a spell without warning.

The dignified expression of the drow wizard melted into panic. His thin strands of hair stood on end and twisted like a snake on Medusa's head. Charred corpses.

——"Flame Wave Assault!"

At the same time as the drow wizard died, the sword mage once again laid the rune sword across her chest. As she whispered a powerful spell, the criss-crossed mysterious symbols on the blade shone with bursts of silver light.

Suddenly, the raging arcane flame engulfed the rune blade in an instant, turning the sword mage's icy face red.

She held the sharp sword tightly, her silver-gray cold eyes locked on the enemy, turned into a flame, and appeared in front of a drow priestess who just raised the snake's head whip at a dizzying speed.

The priestess looked startled, and hastily propped up her defensive magic.

"go to hell!"

The sword mage's silver-gray eyes narrowed slightly, his graceful voice was extremely cold, and the rune sword wrapped in arcane flames mercilessly slashed at the drow priestess's precarious defensive magic.

In the blink of an eye, the raging flames burst open, engulfing the screaming priestess in the sea of ​​flames.

It really is a sword mage!

After finishing off his opponent, Brian realized that he had no opponents for the time being, so he looked with interest at the human girl who had completed pentakill not far away.

He still knows a lot about the profession of sword mage.

To put it simply, it is a profession inherited from the ancient race Eladrin. They study ancient magic traditions, practice swordsmanship, and perfectly use arcane energy for physical attacks.

Similar to his battle mage profession, it is also a profession that applies the art of arcane magic to melee combat.

Along with mastering basic arcane principles, swordmages also undergo extensive physical training.

The big difference between the two professions of Battle Mage and Sword Mage is that if you want to be a Sword Mage, you must have an exclusive rune sword that establishes a contract.

In fact, it was this career that Bryan considered first.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how to forge a rune sword, so he had to settle for the relatively easy job of a battle mage in the end.

The so-called exclusive rune sword is actually equivalent to a piece of magic equipment for a sword mage. After leaving the master, it will automatically return to the master after being summoned.

Like Juggernauts, their exclusive contracted weapons can not only grow with their masters, but after the weapons are destroyed, they can also reshape the fragments through meditation to restore them.

The rune sword is a part of themselves, whether it is mind or body, it is full of terrible power.

If it is a sword mage without a rune sword, it is undoubtedly no different from a toothless tiger.

In the Battlemage Legion of the Kingdom of Cormyr, the Battlemage already belonged to the extreme existence of the School of Specialized Evocation, but the professional characteristics of the Swordmage were even more extreme than the Battlemage.

To be employed in this profession, in addition to spending a lot of time on melee training, you must also master superb swordsmanship.

Because this sword mage, inherited from the ancient Eladrin race known for its dexterity and arcane arts, uses or guides arcane arts to melee combat with his superb swordsmanship.

The fighting skills of sword mages are enhanced by their spells, and their attacks come not only from the rune swords in their hands, but also from fire, frost, lightning or other powerful forces.

If the battle mage is compared to a long-range turret, then the role of the sword mage is similar to that of a mage assassin with precise strikes.

It is precisely because of the extreme nature of this occupation that the requirements and talents for employment are particularly high.

Even in the Battlemage Legion of the Kingdom of Cormyr, the number of swordmages they have is very rare.

But almost every sword mage who successfully took office holds a high position in the battle mage army.

From the flames emanating from the sword mage's rune sword in front of him, Brian could clearly feel that the other party was not only a sword mage, but also successfully advanced his sword mage profession to be a chaos messenger.

This is an order of 'Blades of Disruption' formed by Genasi swordmages.

This school of swordsmen developed thousands of years ago. With the brief union of the two twin worlds of Abel and Toril during the "Arcane Catastrophe", the elemental believers of the "Blade of Disruption" took this An ancient tradition brought to the kingdom of Cormyr.

The practitioners of this faction harness the power of elemental chaos, destroying their enemies with rapid bursts of energy, and are mainly known for their spectacular rage and flamboyant style.

In addition to the Chaos Envoy mastered by the Kingdom of Cormyr, there are actually two more famous schools of sword mages similar to it.

In the ancient elf kingdom Cormanthor.

Since the distant Crown War, the elves began to study the way of the sword mage, and gradually perfected it.

These elven mages use their own race's elegant and reserved elven combat methods to implant arcane arts into enchantments and armors, so that arcane arts and sword arts are seamlessly integrated, forming a unique genre: the crown prince's personal guard.

This genre can also be called 'The Kingsguard'.

With the continuous destruction, reconstruction and changes of the elven kingdom, there are only the elves' Evergathering Island and Silvermoon City in the Northland as the sword mage preachers of this genre.

The last school originated from the northern part of the Kingdom of Cormyr, in the Great Desert of Ennook, the Shade Empire established by the descendants of the Netherese - the only floating city that remained intact during the Arcane Empire period.

The ghost mage living in the floating city combined the abilities of the arcanist and the racial characteristics of the ghost, and independently developed an advanced profession exclusively for the ghost sword mage: shadow guard assassin.

Shadow Guard Assassin is also called 'Shadow Sword Master'.

Known as the "Lord of Shadow and Steel Sword", it perfectly combines the combat skills of Netheril warriors and the arcane magic of ghost mages.

Darkness, magic, and the subtle arts of the Lords of Shadow are fused into their blades into the perfect art of shadow-magic assassination.

Brian has personally experienced the pain of being transformed into a shadow by the shadow guard assassin in the shadows, chasing and killing most of the map, and this is on the premise that he has mastered a large number of teleportation spells.

He felt a headache when he thought that if he planned to gain a foothold in the territory of the Kingdom of Cormyr, he would have to face the eye-catching ghost mages.

However, if he really decided to reforge the glory of arcane art, then the evil force of the City of Shadows would inevitably have to be faced.

Because before he was reborn, the wizards of Halrua and the mages of the City of Shadows, the Netheril survivors from the Arcane Empire, all regarded themselves as orthodox Arcane Empire citizens, and then called each other Betrayers who lost their traditions.

The two sides competed for the territory and the ruins of ancient times in the great desert of Ennook, and even the tomb of Felin Mokui - the control of the memory tower.

The melee between the two major magic civilizations, the consequences can be imagined, which directly led to the awakening of the Ferrin Mokui's brood.

Numerous Felin Mokui woke up from their slumber, and continued to use the steeple to absorb the power of life and magic on the land under their feet.
