Chapter 13 The Secret of Nine Swords(1/4)
After convinced the red dragon Agotus, Brian used the teleportation spell to return to the manor in Mokou Town.
The room Glar arranged for him was spacious and ventilated, remote and quiet, and was almost undisturbed by anyone.
At this moment, midnight was over the surface world. He learned through magical messaging that the matter he had told the Silver Dragon had been done.
So he prepared to rest for a while, and when it dawned, he went to the Salamander's tavern and persuaded the old paladin to serve him.
Just as Brian was about to push the door in, his expression suddenly tensed and he stopped subconsciously.
Because before he could reach the door, he could hear a slight vibration in his mind through the warning array set up in the room in advance, making him notice that someone had entered his room.
As a spell caster who is proficient in magic circles, no matter how safe and worry-free the environment, he will never tire of setting up magic circles to ensure his own safety.
What's more, the enemies he faced were the believers of Lost Lady Shar, and the group of spellcasters from the City of Ghosts.
Especially the Shadow Guard Assassin who made him afraid of.
So, when he returned to the surface, he did not teleport to his room as soon as possible, but appeared at the door of the attic and walked up slowly.
The purpose of this is to prevent people from waiting for the rabbit.
After all, the moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, his defense was the most empty.
In this case, the most correct response is not to let the enemy capture the place where they teleport.
So he pretended to be innocent and hummed an outdated little song, turned the door handle, and opened the room.
I couldn't see my five fingers inside.
This is not the case for Brian, who has elf blood.
He stepped into the door with extremely slow movements, and then carefully closed the door.
Just as he turned around, the dark shadow twisted a moment, and two short swords surrounded by shadow energy stabbed him fiercely at his neck and heart.
——"Dimensional jump!"
Faced with such a fatal attack, Brian had expected it, so before his opponent showed up, he had already activated the fastest teleportation spell in advance.
As the dim light particles whirled around him, two sharp short swords stabbed into a cloud-like halo and pounced on the air.
——"Shadow Leap!"
The black shadow was hiding in the hood, and he retracted the double blades in time, turning into a twisted shadow, disappearing with Brian.
The moment Brian landed, he suddenly judged the position where the assassination appeared through the shadow jump through his familiarity with shadow magic.
——"Krugul Flame Arrow!"
——"Arcane missile!"
He immediately waved his staff, a magic missile composed of flame arrows emitting orange light and five force field energy, galloped over.
"Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang..."
Faced with the sudden attack, the two short swords in the hand of the black shadow, who could not dodge, danced out a series of impenetrable sword shadows, breaking all of these attacks.
"boom!"
However, when the assassin's weapon thrust the flame arrows, the flame explosion characteristics attached to the Brian's staff themselves suddenly exploded, and a magic flame exploded.
Seeing his tricks work, Brian smiled.
The role of the arcane missile is just to cover up the eyes and make the opponent unable to judge that an ordinary flame arrow actually has the characteristics of the flame explosion.
Then, he did not dare to waste time, so he immediately took out a ruby, injected a magical energy, and then crushed it.
When a light red arcane energy overflowed from the gem, a terrible scene happened.
On the four walls of Brian's room, runes with luster flowing were flashing.
"boom!"
Immediately afterwards, his room seemed to have fallen into a dazzling flare, and the dazzling light exploded, filling every corner of the room, occupying every shadow.
Flash magic array!
This was set up in advance when Brian lived in this house.
The function of the magic circle is to erase all shadows in the room, including his own shadow.
At the same time, any invisibility that is released through supernatural abilities, spell-like abilities, or arcane and magic is revealed.
This is the most effective defense method when duels with various enemies who master shadow energy, such as Shadow Dancer, Shadow Guard Assassin and Ghost Dancer.
In the flash array, all their abilities to hide and rely on shadow flashing and raids are invalid, and the effects and damage of the supernatural or spell-like abilities they release will be greatly reduced.
However, if you want to grasp the enemy in front of you, a flash array is not enough.
So, he also made second-hand preparations.
Seeing the assassin who appeared in the smoke of the flame arrow explosion not far away, facing this unstoppable encounter, he suddenly became a little confused.
Brian seized the opportunity and saw through his slender figure wrapped in a cloak that the other party should be a woman.
To his surprise, the purple eyes hidden in his hood actually made him feel familiar.
Could it be her?
He nodded thoughtfully and crushed an emerald again.
Accompanied by a light green breath floating in the air, although the room did not change, a slight sound similar to a lock was heard.
Dimensional blockade array.
Activating this magic circle means that everyone within the magic circle (including those who arrange the magic circle) will lose any ability to release teleportation magic.
——"Krugul Flame Arrow!"
Brian waved his staff and a flame arrow galloped away.
He had already seen that the other party was not only a shadow descendant who was converted into a ghost, but also a shadow guard assassin who was advanced from the sword wizard.
If her identity is really as he guessed, then the Shadow Guard Assassin also worked part-time on another Sword Sword system inherited from the ancient Eastern Kingdoms and mastered the Sage of the Shadow Hand School.
Although the Shadow Guard Assassin was unable to see anything in this dazzling environment due to the racial nature of the Shadow Subordinate, she still twisted her slender waist through the scorching breath flowing in the air, avoiding Brian's spell in time.

The flame arrow hit the wall, exploding with a loud bang, and stone chips flew out, and a soil pit as big as a washbasin was blown out.
——"Arcane missile!"
Seeing that his spell had successfully interfered with the other party, Brian threw five magic missiles at her again.
The reason why he chose to cast low-level magic was mainly because he knew the mobility of the Shadow Guard Assassin. Even if he lost the shadow ability, the speed they burst out instantly still could not leave him enough casting time.
And he was also worried that the other party would really inherit the Sage Sword of the Shadow Hand School.
As he expected, in the face of the magic missile that was galloping towards him, the Shadow Guard Assassin easily defeated him one by one.
However, his attack did not stop.
While moving quickly, he interfered with the opponent's locking his position, he kept throwing out attack spells that released rapidly.
After all, facing a Shadow Guard Assassin whose eyes are temporarily blind and whose shadow power is still lost, it is like a wild beast in a cage for him to slaughter.
Just when Brian was preparing new magic again, he suddenly saw the Shadow Guard Assassin facing this attack that he was coming. Not only did he not panic, but he also returned to calm down as quickly as possible.
Then he waved his swords to protect his left and right, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
Seeing this, he suddenly felt cold hair all over his body, and he rolled on the spot without thinking, and hid under the table behind him.
Two sword lights flashed in the position where he was standing, and the two-inch thick oak table was split into four sections by her.
——"Fire Explosion Technique!"
Brian also released the magic of persuading him without any weakness. A surging flame gushed out from his body, like a raging wind, sweeping towards the Shadow Guard Assassin holding two swords.
The Shadow Guard Assassin jumped, a gorgeous backflip, successfully avoiding the attack of the flames, and then she pointed at the direction where Brian was standing.
——"Shadow!"
A rope made up of shadow energy swirled around his whole body with a whoosh.
It's her indeed!
Recognizing the other party's attack method, Brian immediately confirmed her identity.
He quickly changed his attack plan and prepared to capture him alive.
Faced with this strange attack, he put away his staff at a rapid speed, took out the legendary weapon "The Envoy of Dawn", and the scorching light blade suddenly shattered the tangled shadow rope.
——"Shadow Blade Technique!"
The Shadow Guard Assassin's attack did not stop. She quickly swung her two swords with delicate movements, turned into a black shadow, and attacked Brian.
Seeing four swords surrounding the shadow energy, all stabbing towards each of his key parts, Brian quickly took a few steps back and opened the distance.
——"Star-like composition!"
Then, he immediately called out his volley of the air sword and blocked the two of them.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"
