Mage Legend

"Careful with covering each other!" said a battle captain. At the same time, he drew the specially crafted arrow that was handed to him three days ago. Unlike the sharp long arrows of the Elf Clan, this weapon gifted by Mage Lynch to the Elf Clan had a round head, with strange symbols carved onto the spherical tip. Those with extensive knowledge would notice that it included languages from both Dwarves and Drow. For the first time, the craftsmanship of artisans and the magic of Dark Elves were combined. If it weren't for the benevolent Elf Queen deliberately concealing this fact, probably no warrior of the Elf Clan would choose to use such a weapon.

"I hope this thing really works," the Elf Captain said as he bent his bow and notched an arrow. Not far in front of him, a ghost swayed its body, bypassing layers of branches and flying directly towards him. Its blurred figure was very difficult to aim at, and its erratic path posed quite a challenge for the Elf Archers.

The round arrow instantly left the vibrating bowstring, flying like lightning towards the enemy in front. To the Elf's surprise, the shot arrow made no whistling sound, none of the quick meteor-like "whooshing." The large arrowhead flew silently, like the assassination blade of the most skilled assassin.

This was precisely the result of the Drows' research. Mage Lynch, with his astonishing memory, replicated the magic array originally adorning Zeli's Magic Sword and transferred the air resistance-reducing component onto the arrows. As a result, even the round arrows could avoid the effects of wind interference, maintaining accuracy.

Ghosts have no eyes; they "see" nothing. Ordinary obstacles cannot stop their bodies, which can penetrate matter. Only the sounds of movement and some magical effects can make them aware. The magical arrows of the Elves can harm them, so the ghosts deliberately capture the sound of arrows moving through the air to evade damage. But for this silent attack, the ghosts' senses had no response.

The specially crafted arrow precisely hit the ghost, and the round arrowhead exploded instantly. The magical power of this arrow dissipated at once, turning it into a regular weapon, but regular matter can pass through a ghost's body. When this arrow precisely reached the transparent undead's internal area, the holy water stored in the sphere splashed out.

This precise calculation was achieved by Lynch with the Dwarves' manufacturing techniques. The mischievous Dwarves have some toys that can delay destructive effects, often used to frighten unsuspecting guests. Lynch was once tricked by such an item made by Nimo, through which he remembered the design method of the spheres.

"The water of Erutalon's river does not have the powerful destructive force like the holy water of the temple," that's only true for undead that have only externally contacted the river water. Once the river's power penetrates an undead's interior, the explosive force is quite astonishing. The ghost painfully twisted its body, trying to escape the endless burning, but was unable to do so. A stream of white smoke emerged from its wildly contorting body, and the sharp screeching caused the surrounding branches to tremble as if blown by a fierce wind.

The attention of the Elves and many undead creatures was drawn to the ghost, and the battle seemed to pause for a moment. The Elf Captain who fired the arrow maintained his posture from the moment he released the weapon, his frozen motion and surprised expression perfectly combined into one.

The ghost's figure grew smaller and smaller, eventually being entirely consumed by the holy water. Aside from the black dust on the branches and the trickling liquid residue, the once-undead soul vanished completely from this world.

"I didn't expect this thing to be so effective!" The Elf Captain drew another arrow, searching for the next ghost. These misty monsters were extremely difficult to deal with; their lack of physical bodies made all attacks very challenging to hit. In this regard, even cunning and powerful Vampires didn't pose as significant a threat.

The other Elves also drew their round, specially crafted arrows, aiming at the enemies before them. Before the battle began, the Elves were not optimistic about this strange new weapon; only the traditional long arrows crafted by Elf Weapon Smiths gave them a sense of reliance. However, they believed that in future battles against undead creatures, this specially made weapon would become their first choice.
