Chapter 121 A Narrow Escape
As soon as he finished speaking, Lorraine's figure slowly appeared.
Invisibility is one of the top arcane spells. It allows one to briefly enter a magical plane for a few seconds... causing enemies to lose sight of them and reducing their threat level.
In stealth mode, you can only see or detect targets that are also stealthed.
Rolin, who was possessing his apprentice Rolin's body, discovered that someone was blocking his way.
This means that the guy can detect invisibility.
A mage's brief invisibility is actually a process of magical power covering the body and entering the surface magical elemental space. This is not a particularly stable skill and requires a large amount of mana.
It is possible that a powerful enemy could discover or sense it.
......
The Crimson Assassin was a skilled fighter who followed General Barry to Ambermill. He was the first to discover Lorraine's whereabouts and took the initiative to intercept him.
Logically speaking, the first priority for thieves or assassins is to conceal their presence, wait for the right opportunity, and seize the chance to kill or paralyze the enemy when they are least prepared.
Invar made no attempt to conceal himself from entering stealth mode, demonstrating absolute confidence and arrogance.
This also shows that he was confident in his own strength and disregarded the necromancer possessed by Roland.
He smelled the necromancer's scent, which greatly displeased him. Both Dalaran and Silvermoon City had experienced invasions by the Lich King's Scourge.
This spellbreaker assassin, possessing magical powers, belongs to the Royal Guard.
He witnessed countless comrades die in battle, only to be resurrected as undead puppets...
The glory of the Sin'dorei has been tarnished, just as Queen Sylvanas, once the Ranger-General of Silvermoon City, has now become the Banshee Queen, the leader of the Forsaken.
Invar was once a high elf officer.
He could not accept the undead, the Alliance, or the beasts; he chose to join the Scarlet Crusade, the frontline of Lordaeron's salvation.
There aren't many blood elves who join the Scarlet Crusade; he is an exceptionally powerful individual.
Invar had witnessed his brethren being infected with the undead plague and slowly corrupted. He was extremely familiar with the aura of the undead, including the necromantic scent emanating from Lorraine.
Lorraine had several layers of camouflage, and Invar could smell her even from a hundred meters away.
The reason why Tyrion didn't intervene when he was initially entangled with Lorraine was twofold: first, he was observing Lorraine's intentions in infiltrating the area, and second, he had to obey General Barry's orders.
......
Kill without mercy!
General Barry gave the order, and the Crimson Knights stood ready.
Once the order was given, Invar prepared to loosen his grip and move around freely...
He's a professional at killing undead.
When it comes to dealing with thieves, his opponent, Rowling, is also a professional!
.......
A mage in Grandmaster form possesses a far greater number of skills than an ordinary mage.
Roland understood that thieves posed a significant threat to fragile mages. However, as long as the thieves' concealment could be broken and distance created, the mage's magical damage would be a major threat to any melee class.
Without specialized defensive gear, no one can repeatedly withstand the impact of fire, ice, and arcane energy...
A mage with all skills has a decent chance of defeating a thief, provided they are not ambushed or controlled at close range.
.......
Fortunately, Invar on the other side didn't seem to take Rolin seriously at all.
He killed countless mages, and his familiarity with magic was no less than that of an ordinary mage.
Blood Elves are born with the ability to silence magic. A single Arcane Torrent at close range can briefly sever the target's magical senses, silencing them for two seconds and absorbing a portion of their mana for their own use.
This is a Blood Elf's innate skill.
Invar did not call himself a blood elf; he still considered himself a noble high elf, and no one, except his employer General Bari, could defeat or command him.
A mage who can silence for two seconds can instantly kill his target.
Even if the black cat claimed the escaped spy was a grandmaster of magic, he wouldn't take it seriously...
While grandmaster mages are rare in Dalaran, he had not only encountered but also clashed with figures such as members of the Kirin Tor Council of Six, high-ranking Sin'dorei officials, Prince Kael'thas, and the blood elf archmage Romance...
He was once only slightly inferior to a game general like Sylvanas; more accurately, they were just in different positions.
He is also a hero-level assassin.
He is now one of the top fighters in the Scarlet Crusade!
He didn't think it was necessary to hide beforehand to kill a nobody like Lorraine...
.......
"This guy is blocking my way but isn't doing anything, is he looking down on me?!"
Rowling was unaware of the other party's intentions.
He had to act quickly; the other side didn't take him seriously.
He prioritizes escaping for his life!
He knew that against boss-level enemies, even a max-level mage would be nothing more than a weakling if his equipment wasn't good enough... He was now a naked archmage, with a much higher level of magic power than when he first possessed Lorraine, and his skill level had also improved.
He now possesses enough mana to barely impersonate a grandmaster of magic, enough for him to unleash multiple spells at will.
But ten minutes is too short; the goal is to escape.
If the enemy blocks your way and you don't strike first, then you'll get what's coming to you!
Luo Lin wasn't going to mince words; if you weren't going to stealthily play the thief, you'd be kited to death...
.......
With a single ice spear strike, carrying a chilling cold, Invar was instantly struck by a blue light. It felt as if ice water had been poured over his body, and the biting cold ice condensed into ice pillars at his feet.
He was temporarily frozen.
After casting his instant spell, Rolin teleported again.
The invisibility spell has a very short duration, with a cooldown of at least three minutes.
Blink and consecutive Blinks, Flashback, and Blink again. A series of afterimages appear in the same spot, creating a distance of tens of yards within seconds.
Invar took a hit from an ice spear and looked disdainful.
His feet were frozen, so he looked down to check and sense the intensity of the ice magic.
Then, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
A plume of black smoke appeared on the spot, and his figure vanished instantly...
"This is?"
Luo Lin turned around and found that the target had been lost, so he immediately increased the distance... A sense of danger surged into his mind.
Sure enough, he sensed a dark shadow appear behind him, and two elven twin blades slashed towards his neck...
Flash has just cooled down, and he still has two shields on him.
......
"That looks like Shadow Step? Or perhaps Shadow Cloak!"
Shadowstep: Vanish into the shadows, appearing behind the target and increasing your movement speed by 70% for two seconds!
Shadow Cloak: Instantly removes all negative spell effects from yourself and grants you immunity to all negative spell effects for 5 seconds.
This is the Thief talent skill for the Assassin specialization.
It is also a nightmare skill for mages and many magic-based classes.
If it weren't for the fact that the release range is only about 25 yards, an assassin could almost use this skill to take down squishy mages in one combo against mages and other magic-based classes.
Of course, possessing this skill already makes one an elite among assassins.
Moreover, only assassins with a mastery of magic and a specialization in shadow assassination possess such extraordinary skills.
Ordinary mages would almost certainly be in dire straits when facing this assassin's skill.
Nobody wants to be suddenly attacked from behind, stabbed in the back, and have their throat slit...
No wonder Invar was so calm; he had his special skills and looked down on everyone.
However, the moment his twin swords touched Lorraine's body, the effect was merely the shattering of an ice magic shield, followed by the explosion of a magic shield, engulfing Invar in a dense magical blast.
My body even started to stiffen, and I felt an extreme chill, unable to move my feet.
Looking down, he saw Frostnova and was instantly frozen again.
.......
"This shouldn't be happening! I should be immune to all negative magical effects. The Cloak of Darkness hasn't disappeared!"
No one could answer Invar's question.
His target has once again fallen behind.
"Goodbye, you brat!"
Accompanied by a familiar High Elf language...
With a bleat, Invar turned into a sheep.
Transfiguration: Turning into a Sheep
"I know that trick too!"
Rolin snorted and turned to jump down the hill not far away. A group of enemies ran up behind him.
There were blood-red knights wielding swords, and magic apprentices holding staffs.
A few militia patrol members, armed with bows and guns, also gave chase on horseback...
But by the time they caught up, Rowling had already jumped off the cliff...
"That is?"
"Levitation!"
"Shoot arrows quickly, shoot him down with guns!"
.......
"No, he's too far away."
"Damn it, it got away."
The pursuers could only stomp their feet in frustration...
Only the Crimson General Barry and Weswin, who had been watching the whole thing from a short distance, wore enigmatic smiles... while Tyrande and the Archmage felt as if they had swallowed flies...
