Chapter 499 An unexpected enemy
Alvin waited for a long time, but there was no response from the dark water.
Light cannot penetrate the water, and no one knows what kind of monster lurks beneath the mirror-smooth surface.
The cold air and quiet environment intensified the solemn atmosphere.
"Looks like there's a shy friend under the water!"
Alvin continued, "My goal is to track down the orcs who invaded here. I don't mean to offend you. If possible, I would like to ask for your kindness and let us pass. Of course, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I think it would be a great thing if we could become friends!"
Silence, still a long silence.
"To show my sincerity, I will leave the pavilion first. I hope you can give us a chance to communicate face to face. Then I'm coming out!"
Alvin and Quelindra looked at each other and asked her to remain vigilant.
And I took off one of my shoes and threw it out of the pavilion suddenly...
"call out!"
In an instant, an ice arrow shot out from the water surface on the other side of the pavilion and hit the shoe in mid-air.
The shoes were attacked by the cold air and condensed into ice in the air.
This ordinary cowhide boot seemed to be filled with lead and fell vertically from mid-air.
There was a dull "thud" sound, and a stone leading to the pavilion was smashed into a grayish-white color!
The ice cube in the cowhide boots also broke into several pieces with a snap.
The place where it fell was about one meter away from Alvin, and the cold air coming from there made Alvin shiver.
He took a breath of cold air.
This cold air is too overbearing!
I'm afraid it's on par with Solanlian!
Are there so many great wizards these days? !
Alvin felt a headache. He just wanted to try to see if there was any possibility of negotiation with the other party. If he had really gone out foolishly, he would have been injured even if he didn't die.
Unfortunately, I was so focused on my own side that I didn't notice what attacked me.
"Ha! I knew you had bad intentions! You coward,"
Alvin sat in the pavilion, leaning against the fence and yelling, "How can you be a hero if you can only shoot from behind? Come out and fight me!"
"You don't dare at all, right? You mages are just a bunch of glass cannons. In a head-on duel, you're no match for our priests! I'll use my Fear to dispel all the buffs on you, and then I'll use my Pain Ray to pimp you to death, you damned piece of shit!"
Seeing that his conciliation efforts didn't work, Alvin changed his attitude and started cursing as harshly as he could.
The expression on Quelindra's face beside her became more and more interesting.
She never thought that the Alvin who was always laughing and joking looked so gentle and polite, but she didn't expect that he had so many evil intentions.
"You're a coward! A disgrace to the mage world! Your humble magic is only fit to make cold drinks for murlocs! Even your parents would be ashamed of you!"
Alvin was just laughing happily when he suddenly saw Quelindra's surprised expression.
His old face flushed, he chuckled at her, and whispered, "I'm going to provoke him and make him reveal his flaws. Please help me keep an eye on him. As long as I can determine his location, I can take him down!"
Seeing that Quilindra was still staring at him in a daze, she was obviously frightened by the scolding he had just given her.
Then he gently tapped the deer's forehead with one finger.
"Pay attention! If you don't listen to the teacher while he's teaching, come back and ask him later!"
"Huh? What teacher?"
"It's not important! Just pay attention to our backs and see where the enemy is!"
"Yes Yes!"
"Very good! Very energetic!"
As Alvin's hand left the deer's trembling shoulder, he suddenly caught a glimpse of strange ripples on the water out of the corner of his eye.
A light mist began to rise from the water, but this was no morning mist; it was the awakening of some older, more violent element.
Suddenly, the lake, which was originally as calm as a mirror, began to surge with strange whirlpools.
Countless bubbles gushed out from the bottomless abyss.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of faint blue light penetrated the water surface, and the temperature of the entire cave dropped sharply. Ice crystals began to condense on the water surface, making a crackling sound.
Alvin had never seen such a strong concentration of ice elements. He felt as if his lungs were filled with ice chips, and the white mist he exhaled seemed to be filled with tiny magic crystals.
"Wow!"
With the sound of ice breaking like silk,
A water element broke out of the water, and the liquid water wrapped around it solidified into ice crystals in the air and floated around it.
This elemental creature seems to have no bones in its body, but is composed of pure elemental energy that gathers into an indigo blue color like the deep sea in the dark night.
Under the feet of the water element, water that defies gravity is spiraling upwards, connecting with the water element's body, forming a body that is nearly two and a half meters long. An ancient magic rune is suspended on its body.
"Water, water element??"
Alvin looked at the monster in the water in surprise, and now he understood.
No wonder the opponent can hide in the water perfectly, attack them silently, and even move freely underwater.
Then he lamented that his luck was really bad.
This small pavilion is surrounded by water, with only two intermittent stone paths leading to the outside.
This is simply the perfect home ground for the water element, and I have really plunged into the worst situation.
"Um...Brother Shui...can we have a deal?"
Alvin chuckled and said, "Just now I thought you were an ogre, but you turned out to be a water elemental. Are you from Hydracia?"
The water element just looked down at him silently. Now the water element was much taller than the railings and was completely crushing the small pavilion. It was completely useless for Alvin to hide behind the fence.
This creature, composed of pure elements, has an upper body like an armored giant. Its breastplate, made of liquid ice, is etched with the tidal emblem of Neptulon. The shadow of the Deep One flashes in the flowing water from time to time.
The lower body is a never-ending spiral vortex, and the rolled-up water droplets condense into countless suspended ice spikes in mid-air.
Most terrifying of all were its eyes—two pulsing cores of arcane, spewing and emitting lightning like imprisoned tempests.
“Stand back!”
Alvin suddenly shouted, holding up his staff to stop the deer from getting closer to observe, and propped up the holy light barrier of Power Word Barrier.
Because he felt that the water element was gathering dangerous energy.
Sure enough, the water flows surrounding the elemental creatures suddenly stagnated.
Then it transformed into several prismatic ice cones, each tip flashing with the dark purple glow of piercing magic.
The surge of magical power caused the stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling to break one after another, and when they fell to the ground, they were crushed in mid-air by the violent elemental pressure.
Immediately afterwards, the water element let out a low roar similar to the roar of the tide, and a strong light suddenly burst out from its hand.
The moment he raised his hand, five ice cones shot out in a fan shape and hit Alvin's holy light barrier directly.
