Chapter 34

The sound of a dull hammer strike! Amidst the sound, the third-level fire element spell shield trembled violently, as if it had been hit by a powerful blow. At the center of the semi-spherical structure, which conserved elemental energy and mental power, fire elements gathered wildly, forming a strange red flower.

A particle as thick as a baby's finger, glowing red, was fixed on the surface of the spell shield, right at the center of the red flower, enduring unimaginable high temperatures.

West curiously examined the small metallic conical object in front of him. If he hadn't been maintaining the spell shield with all his might, this little thing might have almost penetrated it.

The unexpected death of Qin Lanfu, the centurion of the "Red-Eyed Lion" vanguard battalion, might have been caused by this seemingly insignificant object.

"It must be! What a strange attack method."

He nodded slightly, a pleased expression on his face. With the sudden increase in mental power, fire element energy began to gather in unimaginable quantities.

The 5.8 mm standard steel core bullet tip now resembled a dazzling small sun, continuously emitting large amounts of light and heat. It rapidly shrunk amidst a hissing sound and soon turned into a wisp of blue smoke, disappearing.

The vaporization point of steel is 2750 degrees Celsius, and West could easily reach and exceed this temperature through magic.

Of course, vaporizing a bullet the size of a peanut doesn't require much fire element energy or mental power, especially since part of it was a lead jacket with a lower vaporization temperature. If he were to vaporize a steel ball the size of a soccer ball, it would probably be beyond his capabilities.

West began to chant a spell, one hand tightly gripping a magic wand made from a century-old soul-wood, the other drawing mysterious patterns in the air, intending to give the opponent a taste of his power.

As a fourth-level mage serving in the Portland Republic's military, he wasn't here to be a mere decoration.

The head of the wand, infused and guided by powerful mental power, began to undergo a magical transformation. Inside, a high-purity soul-fire sand crystal, the size of an egg, from the desert nation of Adrichig, contained lively flames that seemed to have a life of their own.

The fire element energy in the atmosphere began to gather rapidly, undergoing indescribable changes.

"Damn, it can't penetrate the spell shield!"

Li Mubing frowned tightly. The opponent was still standing in place, maintaining the spell shield, seemingly unharmed. She had failed to assassinate the Portland mage.

According to the white light scope, the bullet seemed to be stuck on the opponent's spell shield, unable to penetrate this seemingly thin magical energy barrier.

This was probably the first collision between magic and firearms in this world, but the result was unacceptable to Li Mubing. If she had known, she wouldn't have wasted this precious bullet.

Reassessing the strength of the spell shield, Li Mubing estimated that it would take two consecutive shots from a Type 95 assault rifle, hitting the same point in a very short time to create a kinetic energy overlap, or a large-caliber sniper rifle of 12.7 mm or more to possibly penetrate this magical light membrane.

Through the white light scope, she saw the opponent's movements again, her heart tightening. The opponent was preparing to cast another spell.

The previous magic fireball had already given her a warning. If she wasn't careful, she would meet her end, no, she would become a wandering ghost.

West, the mage of the Portland Republic's "Red-Eyed Lion" vanguard battalion, chanted the spell quickly, without a single mistake, completing it smoothly. A huge, rapidly spinning flame vortex appeared in the sky above his head.

He pointed the soul-wood wand at the distant Slan Empire town, and the red flame vortex quickly launched a series of melon-sized white-hot fireballs.

As the fireballs rapidly detached, the flame vortex shrank, as if its energy was being continuously drained.

Falling Star Flame!

The dense fireballs, like a meteor shower, instantly engulfed a hundred-meter-long stone wall of the Cedar Town.

At the last moment of the spell's completion, Mage West had already calculated the landing point of this fourth-level fire spell. Using his vision and mental power, he locked onto the target, a section of the town's stone wall several hundred steps ahead.

If his calculations were correct, the person who killed Centurion Qin Lanfu should be hiding on this section of the wall.

The powerful fire coverage, similar to the methods used in modern warfare to eliminate snipers, was executed by West's fourth-level fire attack spell, "Falling Star Flame."

Boom!~

Flames splashed, and Li Mubing, carrying the Type 95 assault rifle, rolled and crawled off the stone wall. Behind her, it had turned into a hell on earth, with the stone blocks melted into lava, making it impossible to stay.

The intense heat from the burning flames made the hundred-meter-long stone wall a no-man's land, even preventing the Portland forces from using this unguarded area to launch an attack.

Some fireballs even extended into the town, a concept easily understood in modern warfare as artillery extending to the depth, a typical offensive tactic.

At this moment, Li Mubing couldn't care about anyone else, desperately dodging the white-hot fireballs that rained down like a carpet bombing.

The intense heat scorched her body, but her strong survival instinct pushed her to her limits, allowing her to escape the magical bombardment that almost caught her by the heels.

The scythe of death kept swinging behind her, but the sharp blade never touched her body, always narrowly missing by a few inches.

A blue figure suddenly rushed over and tackled Li Mubing, both of them rolling into a nearby civilian house. In the small courtyard, there was a well, and the two sisters didn't hesitate to jump in.

The scorching flames instantly covered the well opening, but in a blink, the well saved the Twin Star sisters from danger.

Fortunately, no fireball accurately landed in the well.

"Sister! Hehe!"

Li Mubing, panting heavily, clung to the well wall, looking at her sister. The cool well water made her burning body feel much better.

"You were too reckless! The opponent is a mage; how could you act without understanding the situation? When we return, you must write a thorough self-criticism."

Li Muxin was also relieved. Her sister had become complacent after successfully assassinating a high-ranking enemy, lowering her guard.

In her tactical assessment, a mage with a spell shield was like a tank, a mobile heavy firepower platform. Now it seemed she was right.

"I know, I know!"

Li Mubing was also scared.

This mage was truly formidable. This attack was like a multi-tube rocket launcher, with terrifying power. If it weren't for her sister and the well, she would have been killed.

"We need to go up and inform Major Lin Mo. The eastern part of the town can't be held."

Li Muxin remained calm, analyzing the current situation. The sudden participation of the mage had disrupted their plan with Major Lin Mo.

In the face of magical attacks, relying solely on bravery would only result in unnecessary casualties. Perhaps Major Lin Mo, as a dragon rider, had the ability to deal with the terrifying mage on the battlefield.

Li Mubing's failed attempt not only failed to eliminate the target but also provoked a fierce counterattack, forcing Li Muxin to abandon her plan to infiltrate the enemy camp at night and assassinate the mage.

Even if they persisted, the effectiveness would be greatly reduced, and they might fall into the enemy's trap, given the Portland forces' heightened alert to the Type 95 assault rifle's attack pattern.

As visitors from another world, they had no reason to underestimate the native soldiers of this world.

A moment later, the magical bombardment outside the well quickly stopped. The two sisters helped each other climb out of the well.

The civilian house with the courtyard had turned into a pile of ruins, burning fiercely, with intense heat.

"Grab my hand!"

After climbing out of the well first, Li Muxin, using her wet clothes to resist the high temperature, stood at the well edge and extended her hand to her sister.

"Be careful!"

As Li Mubing was about to reach for her sister's hand, her eyes widened. A shadow suddenly and without warning covered the well and Li Muxin, growing larger and larger.

"Ao kaka..."
