Chapter 535 Breaking through the siege
Instead of overthinking, just go for it!
Exhilarating, intense battles, pushing reflexes, countering every move, trading blows for lives...
Perhaps Lorraine was never born with the talent to be a mage.
If he hadn't been resurrected after death and become one of the Forsaken, an old toy of the gods... Lorraine, as an ordinary human youth, should be fighting gnolls in the Western Wilderness with a pitchfork.
The once prosperous and peaceful town of Moonbrook in the heart of the Stormwind Kingdom had long been destroyed in the war, and Lorraine had completely forgotten her peaceful life before her death...
He doesn't need to think too much now; the Stone-jaw Monster is more troublesome than he imagined!
These seemingly grotesque, low-intelligence cave-dwelling creatures are actually masters of disguise and coordinated warfare... They lurk within the stone walls, their location virtually impossible to detect without careful observation...
The Stonejaw Monsters have reddish skin, almost the color of lava, and they paint their faces in a flamboyant way; upon closer inspection, one can discern the differences.
Those with three stripes on their faces are high-ranking characters, clearly minor leaders. Under the command of these three-striped minor leaders, melee combat involves warriors wielding stone hammers or axes, while hunters throw poisoned spears from afar. They also have insect-like pets...
The deadly threat to Lorraine and Lilith came from the five-striped stone-jawed shaman, who released a totem decorated with flame patterns, chanted incantations, and danced wildly.
The seemingly crude totem stores energy and releases a powerful fire shockwave.
Like an earthen bomb exploding beside them, Lorraine shielded Lilith, but the two were blasted away together, nearly falling into the lava stream beside them.
The ordinary stone-jaw monster that was close to the two was caught off guard and was thrown into the lava...
Lorraine witnessed firsthand the two stone-jawed monsters let out piercing screams before being incinerated into charcoal by the lava, melting away completely...
As more and more stone-jawed monsters emerged from the surrounding rock walls, several particularly large ones wielding giant spiked stone clubs swung down, deflecting Lorraine's precious Crow's Blade. Lorraine was no match for these giants in strength...
In a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly remembered that he was a mage...
Not a melee mage/rogue...
Lorraine quickly teleported away to create some distance, picked up the undead priest who couldn't cast spells, and ran towards the depths of the Lava Ridge... Lorraine remembered that the direction indicated on the map was to continue forward...
The terrain of the Ragefire Rift resembles the mouth of a giant crocodile, and Lorraine determined that the exit should be at the source of the lava waterfall at the deepest part.
The direction the skull with the sword stuck in its head is pointing in is definitely right!
......
The only problem is, according to the map, this is clearly a cleared safe zone, so why are so many stone-jaw monsters suddenly appearing? The truly dangerous area shouldn't be on the main road, and they didn't even go to the stone-jaw monster cave where the shaman's backpack was located...
Furthermore, according to the description by the senior [Black Lotus], the Stone-Palm Monster is very small and has low intelligence, like a stone monkey or wild beast, not worth mentioning...
But in actual combat, the Stonejaw Monsters were clearly organized warriors...
They varied in strength, had a clear division of labor, and their leader could even cast spells and change strategies...
The Stonejawed Five-Barred Shaman's shock totem and chain lightning attack would likely have resulted in him and Lilith being blasted into the scorching lava, their remains obliterated, if not for Lilith's prior shield and power spell protection...
The other party clearly set up an ambush at the intersection just now; how could that be a sign of low intelligence...?
......
"Lilith, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better? Can you run on your own now?"
"Can...put me down...I can heal, and I can fight! Don't underestimate me, I'm a key member of the guild! I'm your senior."
......
"Take your hand away..."
"All right..."
......
Lilith was cut by a poisoned stone spear, which slowed down her spellcasting speed, but it did not mean she lost her fighting ability.
Korrin scooped her up in his arms and ran off without a word. Lilith was shocked and felt like a child being taken care of; her strong personality made her very unhappy...
She clearly said she was going to help Lorraine, so why did she turn into a big idiot and stand in front of him?
Lilith insisted that Lorraine put her down, but Lorraine forcibly carried her for a while, using a combination of flashes and sprints to create distance between them before finally setting Lilith down...
The other person sulked, glaring fiercely at Lorraine...
Lorraine, however, was smug about his mastery of the Flash ability, ignoring his teammates' complaints. He felt his understanding and application of Flash had reached a new level...
The teleportation and flashback techniques his teacher demonstrated when he was possessed were incredibly powerful... Lorraine can't use them yet, as he rarely has the chance to calmly study the spell descriptions...
Everything was done using the hard way: from rote memorization and simple imitation to trying things out...
It combines stealth, clones, mirror images, and teleportation/flashback.
The battle between the Blood Elf Archmage Romance and Kel'Thuzad finally gave Lorraine some insight...
Even though he hasn't had the chance to learn the higher-level arcane spells like Blink and Flashback, his combat awareness and experience allow him to maintain what his teacher said: the essence of mage combat is mastering distance...
With increased distance, the field of vision becomes wider, allowing for quick assessment of the environment...
Depending on the perspective you're using, unleash your ultimate move...
Counter each move as it comes...
Against a large number of enemies, the power of area-of-effect magic is such that one person can be worth a thousand troops!

......
Blink again, Arcane Explosion!
Counterspell!
One more set...
Art is an explosion, combat is figure skating...
Dancing in the hellish lava tunnels, the stone-jawed monsters, unable to get close, fall in droves...
The leader of the five-stripe formation was instantly enraged, letting out a strange cry: "Ura-woo! Bazooka..."
Lorraine realized that the other party seemed to have given some order again, and it looked like the old man was about to unleash another powerful attack. Another unfamiliar yellow totem pole was about to be planted, accompanied by familiar incantations...
Lorraine reacted quickly!
The Polymorph spell stopped the five-barred Stonejaw Shaman Elder from casting Chain Lightning. Lorraine grabbed the sulking Lilith, turned around, and chose a gap on the left. She was about to jump down the rock wall to another break... Below the break lay an area covered with lava pools.
There were no markers left by teammates; instead, the terrain was treacherous, the path ahead was obscured, and the protrusions on the rock face were barely wide enough for one person to pass...
Lilith slapped away Lorraine's withered, rough hand that had once gripped the Demon's Strike, and shook her head violently:
"No, the map doesn't mark this road! What are you doing! Why aren't we following the route?"
"The map marked this as a safe zone, but believe me, jump down quickly and walk this way. No matter how many of them there are, they can't surround us!"
