A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 321 All Killed

"With me here, you won't get away with it!"

Without a second thought, Ron stepped in front of Mereges and engaged Jiang Shuzhou in combat.

dong dong dong.

The greatsword slammed into the shield with a dull thud, making Ron's hand ache.

Jiang Shuzhou himself didn't care, as his defenses hadn't been broken at all.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what's your reason for this? So many people have died for him. If you ask me, you can just leave. He's my main target, I don't care about you."

Jiang Shuzhou tempted him.

"Don't even think about it!"

Ron responded to Jiang Shuzhou with a resolute look in his eyes.

It seems he's determined to fight to the death.

Sure enough, these paladins were all single-minded and inflexible.

"That's a real shame."

Jiang Shuzhou gathered magic power in his hand and released an ice spike technique, stabbing towards Ron.

At this moment, Ron was engaged in close combat with Jiang Shuzhou. Jiang Shuzhou's sharp staff transformed into a giant sword and slashed fiercely at Ron's shield.

Puff puff.

Countless tiny ice spikes pierced Ron's body, causing him to tremble slightly, yet he still resolutely fought against Jiang Shuzhou.

"Tsk tsk tsk, quite brave, quite sacrificial, it's just a pity..."

"It's all a waste of time!"

Seeing Ron covered in blood in front of him, Jiang Shuzhou exerted force and pushed Ron so hard that he stumbled.

Then, Jiang Shuzhou raised his greatsword and slashed down fiercely with a crack.

Ron's shield broke, and he was now cornered.

"Lord Mereges, let's go!"

When the shield broke, Ron knew he wouldn't live much longer.

He planned to get Mereges to leave quickly to preserve their strength, while he himself would stay behind to cover the rear.

"Trying to escape? Lightning Cyclone Strike!"

Jiang Shuzhou didn't care whether Mereges wanted to escape or not.

He unleashed a powerful cleave and added a spell, forcefully blocking Mereges's path.

"Finally, this day has come."

Meregers sighed, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

He became aware of his situation when he joined the war.

Mereges radiated a powerful light, and a shield and a sword materialized in his hands.

"Ron, catch!"

Meregius threw the shield at Ron and picked up his sword. Jiang Shuzhou was about to intercept it when he realized that it was impossible to stop. It was a shield formed from faith and had the ability to become ethereal, so it could not be intercepted.

The Mereges before him had visibly aged, indicating that casting this divine spell had come at a great cost to him.

"To be honest, your gods are really stingy. They make you pay the price of your lifespan to cast a life-saving spell. It would be so much better if it were free. If I were you, I would just leave. Who would guard something like this?"

Jiang Shuzhou began to sow discord.

"You don't need to say anything more. At this point, I don't think you'll let us go."

Meredes spoke with remarkable calm.

"You're quite right, but I was just kidding. What if you believe me? Besides, try surrendering, and maybe I'll spare your life."

"A mage's words are no more trustworthy than a demon's."

Meredes said.

"That's not like you're so untrustworthy."

After saying this, Jiang Shuzhou launched a sneak attack, intending to take Mereges's head.

thump.

Ron kept a close eye on Jiang Shuzhou's every word and action, and when he saw Jiang Shuzhou launch a sneak attack, he directly blocked the attack.

Your words and actions confirm my suspicions.

"This was purely a personal act; the monk is still reasonable."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand.

"Ha, I think they're all birds of a feather."

Mereges assumed an attack stance; finally, this priest, who had been casting support spells all along, was about to join the battle in melee combat.

However, Jiang Shuzhou wouldn't let them have their way.

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, and countless fireballs shot towards Mereges. Ron held a shield and blocked the attack for Mereges.

With the Blade Staff transformed from a greatsword into a staff, Jiang Shuzhou began to become a turret mage.

After all, if you can just engage in close combat whenever you want, wouldn't I lose face?

I need to bombard you with spells so you'll know I'm a mage.

Otherwise, these people would really think Jiang Shuzhou was a soldier.

"Look down at the lambs below, their golden blood spilled across the earth, and the believers, like lambs to the slaughter, will soon be swallowed up by death."

Jiang Shuzhou unleashed a meteorite spell.

A massive meteorite was condensed and then crashed down on Ron.

"What will happen to these civilians after you die?"

"Most likely, it's death."

Jiang Shuzhou asked and answered his own question.

Every word they uttered was disturbing the minds of Ron and Mereges.

They said they didn't care, but in reality, Ron had already started making defensive mistakes.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. What was originally a favorable three-on-one situation turned into a disaster when Jiang Shuzhou not only had skill but also numerical advantage, managing to fight the angel in close combat while simultaneously casting spells to hold off the two others.

All I can say is that they've really mastered the art of manipulation.

"I could play like this all day long."

Jiang Shuzhou said as he unleashed countless spells.

Jiang Shuzhou is quite proficient in both turret mage and melee mage.

Furthermore, he can switch to the appropriate combat mode at any time as needed.

Ron and Mereges were like a lone boat, struggling to hold on amidst Jiang Shuzhou's relentless barrage of spells.

As for returning to the temple and becoming a tortoise again?

Unfortunately, this was impossible. Jiang Shuzhou used magic to forcibly freeze the entrance to the temple, and because of the spatial anchor, Mereges could not teleport directly inside.

Therefore, once something leaves, it can never be entered again.

Soon, as Ron's energy waned, a mistake occurred.

With a soft thud, Ron's abdomen was pierced by a dirt spike.

These earth spikes were modified by Jiang Shuzhou. When they fall into the ground, they will fire another one at the enemy, effectively requiring two defenses, which is quite insidious.

"The situation has really taken a sharp turn for the worse!"

Jiang Shuzhou started spouting trash talk again.

"We will not compromise."

Even though they were seriously injured, Meregesses and Ron still had no intention of compromising.

However, Jiang Shuzhou didn't care; he didn't need prisoners.

Pfft, pfft.

Ron's stamina was dwindling, but they couldn't withstand the spells and launch a forced attack. After all, Jiang Shuzhou's spell bombardment was too intense, and they simply couldn't retaliate.

This was mainly because both Ron and Mereges had unleashed numerous divine spells, consuming a great deal of mental and physical energy.

Ron was even seriously injured several times.

"Lord Mereges, I shall take my leave now."

Ron was exhausted. He had completely depleted his fighting spirit and divine magic. Finally, after blocking dozens of spells for Mereges, he was torn to shreds by several spells.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Only Meredes is left struggling to hold on, and perhaps he is still hoping for unrealistic support.

But that's still impossible. Several strongholds have already changed hands, and the mages have begun to occupy them.

There is no support here.

Finally, after struggling for a while longer, Meregius, the high priest, returned to the embrace of the gods.

"Oh, and remember to say hello to that Ron when you go up to the divine realm!"

Jiang Shuzhou saw Mereges's soul and said this.

However, Mereges ignored him and was directly led into the realm of the gods.
