Advent of the Archmage

Chapter 223: Playing and being played

Views:

The speed of the black shadow in the black forest is extremely fast, and the naked eye can only capture a vague shadow.

This kind of speed can only be achieved by at least a level 6 assassin, and if this level 6 assassin is not afraid of swords and guns, has infinite strength, and almost endless fighting spirit, then there is no solution!

Even the Excalibur of Dawn can only defend against these ghosts, not that it cannot beat them, but that it cannot catch up!

The opponent has already appeared, and he still appeared openly. The captain of the scout no longer hid, he shouted: "Free attack!"

Afterwards, he stood up resolutely, held a repeating crossbow in one hand, and removed the holy water bottle hanging from his waist with the other. With a crisp 'pong' sound, he smashed directly on the groove of the crossbow, and then he hurled towards the front The coming phantom pulled the trigger.

"Tap-tat-tat~" The crossbow machine made a rapid sound, and the crossbow arrows stained with holy water chased after the phantom one by one.

At this time, the captain of the scouts was not the only one who launched an attack. The movements of the dozen or so scouts around him were consistent with him. For a moment, countless crossbow arrows roared towards the phantom, and the holy water on the crossbow arrows emitted a dark aura on the opponent. When stimulated, it emits a milky shimmer.

Suddenly, a light net composed of holy water crossbow arrows appeared in the forest. This light net shrouded the phantom at high speed, almost sealing off all the opponent's avoidance space.

'Puff puff puff' Under such an attack, even though the dark ghost was as fast as lightning, he still kept hitting arrows. Every time he hit an arrow, he let out a muffled grunt and paused slightly.

Within three seconds of the arrows pouring down, he was hit by at least four arrows!

Such an attack, if it came from an ordinary dark elf, even if he had a power of level 6, 7, or even 8, he would have to be seriously injured and retreat now, but the phantom in front of him was a little slower , was not affected much.

This is the terrible thing about dark ghosts, even the holy water that is specially designed for dark creatures can't cause fatal damage to it.

What's even more frightening is that there is not only one dark ghost coming!

'call! 'Behind a big tree next to it, a black shadow rushed out at high speed, and rushed towards the scout captain very quickly.

The captain of the scout was a level 6 assassin, and he also reacted like lightning. He threw the crossbow that had been shot in the air, and drew out the dagger. His fighting spirit exploded, and he launched the assassin's combat skills like lightning.

His body instantly turned into a mass of gray phantom, and he rushed towards the dark ghost at high speed, making a 'hoo' sound like the wind ripping silk.

Half a second later, the scout captain and the dark ghost collided.

With a sound of '噗嗤', the scout captain's dagger pierced about two inches into the dark ghost's chest. He hurt the dark ghost, but he also paid a huge price for it. His heart was directly pierced by the dark ghost's hand, and his heart was crushed.

'Pfft' The dark ghost withdrew his hand, and then pulled out the dagger in his heart as if nothing had happened. The leather armor on his body was made of special snow bear skin. His skin was extremely tough, and his muscles were tight. After being tightened, it greatly hindered The advance of the dagger.

Of course, the opponent's blow was still a bit deep, and it even hurt his heart, but the problem was not serious. After resting for more than ten seconds, he could fight again.

On the other side, the scout leader fell to the ground helplessly, his eyes full of unwillingness.

In the battle, he didn't make the slightest mistake, but he was defeated, defeated by the opponent's almost incomprehensible body.

After killing the scout leader, the dark ghost didn't continue to kill, he backed away.

Annie was keenly aware of the fighter, and she immediately shouted: "He's hurt, he's hurt, chase! Don't give him a chance to recover!"

Having encountered dark ghosts before, she is well aware of the nature of these terrifying dark elves. They are extremely ferocious, and as long as they can continue to fight, they will never retreat.

This dark ghost retreated, which meant that the scout captain's attack had caused him damage that could not be ignored!

At this time, the situation was very chaotic. After Anne yelled, the scouts immediately had a clear target. At least 15 scouts immediately locked their targets on the injured dark ghost, trying to kill it while taking advantage of the situation.

For a moment, some scouts launched combat skills and rushed towards the dark ghost, and some scouts turned the crossbow, and poured holy water crossbow bolts madly at the dark ghost.

If this dark ghost acted alone, he would be left behind by the scouts this time, but he is not alone!

Seeing that the dark ghost was about to be overwhelmed by the scouts' attack, an extremely strong dark ghost rushed out from the slanting stab. With one charge, he directly hit the three scouts on the charging path, vomiting blood and flying back. In mid-air, The fire of life of the three scouts was extinguished.

Then, he turned his body sideways, covered his head and face with his hands, and blocked the wounded ghost, blocking the holy water crossbow for him.

'Puff puff puff' is the sound of crossbow arrows piercing into flesh. This strong dark ghost grunted a few times. He had more than a dozen holy water crossbow arrows stuck on his body. With less than an inch of flesh penetrating into his body, he stretched out his hand and pulled out all the crossbow arrows on his body.

Afterwards, he exploded with fighting spirit, a black light flickered on his body, and the holy power in the holy water was directly dispelled by him.

"Hehehe~ Cry in despair, mortal!" The dark ghost chuckled, bent down, moved his thick legs, and charged towards the nearest scout.

At this time, the dark ghost that appeared at first had already rushed into the crowd and started killing wantonly.

These scouts are all the elite of MI3, but the scout leader at level 6 is dead, and the remaining scouts are only at level 5 at most, and generally at level 4. At this time, facing two dark ghosts with peak power at level 6, there is no The power of resistance.

'Ah~uh~~oh~~' The shrill screams, the stunned sigh strangled in the throat, and the long exhalation sound before dying, all rang out densely.

Although the 35 scouts were standing scattered, they were still rapidly decreasing at the rate of two people per second.

"Bang!" A muffled sound resounded in front of Annie, the strong dark ghost charged towards her, but the young scout beside her rushed out without hesitation, blocking the fatal blow for her.

The scout's bones were broken, and his chest was completely sunken. On those young faces, the light in the eyes that were originally full of youthful vitality quickly dimmed.

he died.

Annie's heart ached sharply, another, another young life died for her, how could she bear this pain!

"Ah~" With a near-crazy scream, Annie brandished the dagger and stabbed at the dark ghost like crazy.

At this moment, she burst into battle furiously, and the world in front of her seemed to slow down a lot, and the ghost's movements didn't seem to be so fast that people couldn't react.

'嗤~' With a soft sound, her dagger actually slashed across the dark ghost's arm.

"Huh~" This strong dark ghost was a little surprised. He was dealing with a scout who was desperately entangled him just now, and one of them didn't pay attention, but was scratched by this woman.

"A level 4 female assassin can actually hurt me. It's really embarrassing." The dark ghost stretched out his hand, ready to grab the female assassin.

But this catch, he caught nothing again, the opponent used a combat technique in the nick of time, and once again escaped his attack.

Now it's a little strange.

"Tsk tsk, the reaction is good, but I have to be serious!" The dark ghost put away his joking attitude, and prepared to focus on fighting the woman in front of him.

Annie was very embarrassed. She tried her best, but she could only leave a shallow scar on the dark ghost's arm. If the opponent hit him casually, she would consume a lot of fighting spirit and use her combat skills to dodge with all her strength.

This is not a level of opponent at all.

She knew in her heart that even with this level of attack and dodge, she would never be able to do it before. Her strength must have made a breakthrough. After going back, she should adjust and exercise for a while, and she should be able to advance to level 5.

But does she have this chance? Have it

Only wry smile.

The strong dark ghost was about to launch an attack. He wanted to kill the woman in front of him with one blow, but at this moment, an accident occurred.

The companion who was injured in the heart and hid behind the tree waiting for the wound to heal suddenly rushed out from behind the tree, and he shouted: "Lu Xiu, no, there is a magician!"

Lu Xiu is the name of a strong dark ghost. After hearing the shout, he was slightly startled, magician? What's so scary about magicians? He has killed 9 human magicians so far. Are those frail guys worthy of such a big reaction

But what happened next told Lu Xiu that this magician really deserves attention!

The dark ghost who rushed out from behind the tree had just run two steps when his body shook suddenly, the wound on his chest exploded strangely, revealing the beating heart in his chest.

And that's not all.

The heart seems to be injured, but it doesn't matter. The dark ghost's vitality is very strong, and the heart injury is not fatal. As long as he is rescued in time and taken to a safe place, he will recover soon.

Lu Xiu abandoned the female assassin and turned to rescue his companions.

As soon as he took three steps, he heard a scream from his companion. His heart suddenly exploded into a meat sauce, and there was silver liquid flowing in the meat sauce.

This liquid exudes a faint brilliance, which is the breath of holy power. It wreaks havoc in the dark ghost's heart, showing a lethality far exceeding that of holy water.

'Ah~~~ah~~~~' the dark ghost roared frantically, pawing his chest with both hands, trying to dig out the silver liquid, but he was seriously injured and seemed to be in endless pain, his hands The movement was completely instinctive, and no silver liquid was picked out at all.

This also fully demonstrated the strength of the dark ghost's vitality. His heart exploded, but he can still live for so long, and he can still maintain his ability to move.

This abnormality was too terrifying, not only frightened the dark ghost, but even the human scouts were taken aback, they all stayed where they were, not knowing how to react.

Lu Xiu was terrified. Even if his heart burst, the dark ghost could still persist for more than three hours. As long as he was brought back to the temple, the priest could still save him.

But this time the situation was different. His companion screamed terribly, and the scream quickly subsided. There was a "chi chi chi chi" sound from his chest, and green smoke came out, which indicated that his vitality was rapidly weakening. About five seconds later, he fell to the ground motionless, only breathing extremely slowly.

"This..." Lu Xiu felt a burst of fear in his heart, and he shouted at another companion who was still alive: "Mino, let's take Lars away!"

The situation is unknown, and there is something that can restrain them. The best strategy is to retreat first!

He rushed forward, ready to snatch Lars, who was seriously injured and dying.

Annie finally realized that she was overjoyed and shouted excitedly: "It's our magician! Our magician killed the dark ghost! Stop these ghosts, don't let them find our magician!"

The scouts also reacted, their morale, which had just dropped to freezing point, suddenly rose to the peak, and they desperately wanted to entangle the dark ghost. Their idea is very simple. A powerful magician is coming. This brother magician has the ability to kill terrible dark ghosts. They should hold these ghosts back and buy more time for the magician to attack!

For this reason, it doesn't matter even if you sacrifice your own life.

Lu Xiu immediately felt tremendous pressure. Indeed, he was fast and no one could stop him. However, when four or five people rushed towards him regardless of defense, he would still be entangled.

"Damn it!" Lu Xiu was about to teach these scouts a lesson!

However, when these scouts were about to approach Lu Xiu, a circular force field suddenly exploded around Lu Xiu. This force field was very strange. He did not cause any damage to Lu Xiu, but gently pushed the scouts away. This dark ghost.

"Leave them and save your life!" A deep voice sounded in the forest. The voice seemed to be everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish the specific location of the speaker.

However, everyone can hear the confidence in these words, it seems that in his eyes, these dark ghosts are just toys that can be played with at will.

The scouts looked at each other, unable to believe it, but they still obeyed the magician's order and stayed away from the dark ghost.

Lu Xiu was shocked and angry in his heart, but he couldn't control it anymore, he rushed to Las's side quickly, ready to take him away, but when his hand touched Lass, Mino's tragic words came from his ears. cry.

His hands trembled in fright, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Mino, who rushed over like him, suddenly clutching his stomach and rolling wildly on the ground.

His stomach has just been shot by a crossbow arrow, and there is a wound. Now, the wound has been enlarged ten times by someone, and it has become a big hole. All his intestines have been vented out, and between the intestines, there is also a terrifying silvery liquid.

"Who is the opponent? Where is he hiding? What kind of attack method is he using?" A series of thoughts flashed through Lu Xiu's mind quickly, but there was no answer to any of them.

He observed the surrounding woods left and right, but he didn't see any figure. This terrible attack seemed to be as unpredictable as divine punishment from heaven.

'Ah~~~~' There was a long exhalation sound in his ear, Lu Xiu turned his head to look, but saw Mino lying on the ground with his hands on his stomach, slowly exhaling his last breath.

His intestines were dragged all over the floor, and even his liver was ripped out, but even this injury was not enough to make them incapacitated, but what was scary was the silver liquid, these ghost things seemed to block them The body's ability to recover.

Lu Xiu's heart trembled suddenly, and there was an uncontrollable fear. They could be unscrupulous, relying on their strong body. When this body was no longer strong, his fighting spirit collapsed.

There is no perfection in the world. If you choose the same thing, you have to give up the same thing. The stronger these ghosts are physically, the weaker their souls are.

He gave up on rescuing his companions and turned around to run away.

At this moment, he was also attacked.

There was a sudden pain in his heart, this time he could see clearly that what attacked him was a small transparent ball the size of a thumb, this ball reached the wound on his chest, as if it had life, it got in through the wound, and then exploded , he felt an invisible destructive force tearing his body, tearing his wound into a huge hole.

And that's not all.

Immediately afterwards, a small metal ball flew over, trying to enter his chest. Lu Xiu wanted to dodge, but he believed that he could dodge with his speed.

But this time, he misjudged.

The metal ball was incredibly fast and flexible. It flickered in the air like a butterfly, and then dodged Lu Xiu's hand, then entered his chest precisely, and then, exploded!

Lu Xiu finally realized the pain suffered by his companions. This feeling was like having a hundred small knives constantly cutting inside his chest, which was unbearable at all.

He howled out in pain, and at the same time his whole body was weak, and he fell to his knees on the ground at once, and began to scratch his chest with his hands, trying to dig out the terrifying silver liquid.

But everything was in vain, the liquid was not only in his wound, but also entered his blood, flowing continuously in his body, his strength rapidly weakened, and a few seconds later, he lay on the ground, breathing weakly, and began to struggle for his life.

"Where is the magician? What attack method did he use? Who is this magician?" These three questions kept circling in his mind, and his consciousness became more and more blurred.

Faintly, he saw a magician in a gray cloth robe turn out from behind a big tree.

'So young. ' This was the last thought in Lu Xiu's mind, and then he lost consciousness.
