Chapter 67: The Headless Horseman (Part 1)

Views:

The second-level magic wind speed technique is a very practical skill. It allows the magician to have the ability to move quickly at a very low level, with a speed comparable to that of a galloping horse. Www,QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO,CoM

The wind speed spell can be maintained for a full hour. Within this hour, the person who has been subjected to the wind speed spell can run up to 60 miles per hour (kilometers, save it, I won't explain it later).

An excellent war horse may be able to run faster, but it cannot last for such a long time. If you were running at a constant speed, you wouldn't be able to go so fast.

What Aini couldn't accept was that Nailis, who was not blessed with wind speed, was carrying Salin on her back and kept running in front of him and Sika.

Nailisi exposed her white and slender calves, her crystal toes left shallow traces on the ground, and her muscles burst out with powerful strength, probably comparable to that of a senior swordsman.

By the same token, if a senior swordsman wants to run so fast and his sword energy is running at full speed, he won't be able to last very long.

The wind blew harshly on Nailisi's face, and she felt extremely comfortable. She felt that she could speed up without having other demons chasing behind her. Generally speaking, after a demon performs an advanced transformation technique, his strength will decrease. Nailis does not feel this way. She can even feel that the transformed muscles are gradually adjusting to output energy more effectively.

This is the effect of the ultimate transformation technique, and the ultimate transformation technique is related to the blood of the devil. Is he about to become an adult

The fields were empty and flat, and the four people quickly left the battlefield. The old castle was left far behind, and the sounds of fighting and explosions on the battlefield could not be heard. Only the wind blew by my ears, and the moonlight was like water, cool and refreshing.

There was no attack along the way, and the black puppets seemed to have gathered together to attack the castle. An hour passed quickly, Nailisi slowed down and stopped, and the wind speed spell on Aini and Shika also disappeared.

Salin was embarrassed to continue to rely on Nailisi's back, even though it was very comfortable and effortless. He jumped down and asked: "Ani, how far is the town?"

Aini gasped and looked up at the stars to get his bearings. Although Nailis had been running at the front, there was no deviation in any direction. He calculated and replied: "About 30 miles, we did not take the main road."

Saleen was slightly relieved. It was very close to the town, and there would be larger villages and maybe even small noble manors. Salin looked at Aini, who was still breathing, and asked, "Can you still walk?"

"Yes." Ani replied through gritted teeth. The 30-mile journey would have taken about 6 hours without the blessing of wind speed. He also knew that it was not completely safe and it was not time to rest yet.

The principality of Phoenix has a dry autumn, which saves Aini a lot of suffering. Otherwise, his sick body would fall down from exhaustion after walking only a few miles in the mud. After walking for more than an hour, Salin saw a manor.

Under the moonlight, there were shocking blood stains on the wall of the manor.

"Protect Aini." Salin warned Sikka, and then led Nailis to speed up and walk towards the gate of the manor.

The soil was soaked in blood and turned black and purple, and the smell was permeated, but there was no body in sight. The strangest thing is that not only is there no one here, not even a fly can be seen. Salin knelt down, scooped up a handful of dirt, and sniffed it.

There is no life, there is only condensed blood in the soil, there is no breath to search for, and there are no common insects.

The black magician came. Salin stood up and backed away slowly. He didn't know if there was an ambush in the manor.

Aini watched Salin exit from the gate of the manor and shook his head at him, knowing that the situation was not good. If even this place was bloodbathed by the black magician, what about the town not far away

There were only more than 10,000 people in that town, and there were 100,000 black puppets that appeared in the castle. In other words, the black magician had a wider range of activities and killed more people. This place is still far away from the border of the Principality of Phoenix. If you can't find a horse for transportation, it will be difficult to quickly escape the scope of the black magician's activities.

However, it is difficult to find any living beings within the scope of the black magician's activities.

While he was hesitating whether to enter the manor to rest, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. Looking back, I saw five fast horses galloping on the road in the distance. The people on the horses were crouched down, making it difficult to see clearly. Behind these five horses, two headless horsemen are chasing each other. The distance is getting closer and closer. The horses and horses of the people fleeing in front are tired and their speed is getting slower and slower.

"Enter Zhuangzi." Salin saw this and did not go to the rescue. The Headless Horseman was at least as strong as a swordsman. The impact on the horse was not something that his magic shield could withstand. And Saleen didn't know if there was still the power of the black magician behind him. If more headless horsemen appeared, a dozen headless horsemen could easily kill ordinary magicians in the open fields.

The fleeing people also saw Salin and others, as if they saw hope. They kicked the horse's belly hard, got off the road, and rushed towards the manor.

The door of the manor was open, and Salin did not let Sikka close it, letting the knights enter the manor. The headless horseman from behind arrived immediately.

The walls of this manor are made of stone, but they are not military buildings. The gate is wide and there is no hidden fortress inside the gate. If the Headless Horseman rushes in, everyone will have no choice but to continue running away.

Saleen was concentrating and preparing magic in his hands. Sikka stood by the door, saw the right moment, swung his stick, and hit the headless horseman who was attacking the door horizontally.

The leader of the headless horseman held a huge mace in his hand, smashed the head of his bag, and aimed it at Sikka's head. This mace is covered with metal spikes, like the teeth of a monster. Moreover, this mace is entirely made of metal and probably weighs hundreds of kilograms. In comparison, Sika's stick was much smaller.

On a battlefield with thousands of troops and horses, such an impact is extremely terrifying, and even heavy shields can be knocked away by this blow.

But the gate of the manor was not wide enough after all, and there was no flanking attack from another knight. Sikka turned around to let go of the attack of the mace, and the stick hit the chest of the headless knight's horse.

The Headless Horseman's horse was covered in heavy iron armor. The stick was deflected by the impact of the horse. Sika's body turned half a circle in place to remove the impact of the horse, and her back had been given to the Headless Horseman.

The five fleeing men who rushed into the manor looked like mercenaries. They jumped off their horses, picked up their swords, and blocked the door. They are not good at horse fighting and know the importance of guarding the gate. These five mercenaries had to fight. They saw a young low-level magician standing behind the female warrior. If the young magician died too, then there would be no hope for them to survive. .

Before they could take action, Saleen's magic had been released in series. Several mercenaries were stunned. They are also people with rich combat experience, but they have never seen a mage release so much magic continuously. There is almost no time interval between these magics, but the rhythm is bright.

Saleen first released an ice ring technique. The moment Sikka's stick hit the Headless Horseman's horse, the ice ring technique was attached to the front legs of the horse.

Although Sika's blow did not cause any damage to the Headless Horseman's horse, her power was also quite strong, causing the horse to pause momentarily. Saleen's ice ring technique took advantage of this opportunity to accurately hit the target.

Saleen's water magic has some mutated properties, the most obvious one being that it lasts a little longer, but the ice ring magic only disappears in just over a second, and it cannot cause any damage to the enemy if it does not move.

This is obviously a useless magic. In a battle, who would stop and let you trap them, and then rush forward and let the ice ring cut themselves

Salin is different from other magicians. He can't learn much magic at this level, so he can only try his best to develop magic effects to make up for the shortcomings of the magic string. In fact, releasing an earth magic at this time has the best effect. A rock thrust can knock the Headless Horseman to the ground. Even swamp magic is considered a more targeted magic.

Salin found another way, seizing this tenth of a second to complete a useless magic. After the headless horseman paused briefly, the horse charged forward, unable to really stop.

The attack power of the Ice Ring Technique is obviously only available to magic of level three or above. The front legs of the Headless Horseman's horse were instantly cut off and he fell to the ground. Then four ice picks accurately shot through the Headless Horseman's hands, piercing both the palms and wrists. The ice crystals in the right hand holding the mace condensed and became extremely fragile. It could not bear the weight of the mace and broke with a click.

The five mercenaries were extremely smart. In this small-scale battle, the mercenaries' combat effectiveness was not inferior to the elite soldiers of the empire. They immediately gave up their long swords, pulled out their triangle swords, and stabbed the headless knight's limbs and joints hard.

The steel armor at the joints was already weak, and the triangle sword itself was designed to break armor. This cut off the tendons of the Headless Horseman's limbs, and Salin's acid splash also hit the Headless Horseman's body in time. .

Another headless horseman wanted to avoid the fallen companion in front of him. Sika jumped up and hit the headless horseman's neck with his stick. She still didn't know the weakness of the Headless Horseman, so this attack was still creating opportunities for Saleen.

The fallen Horseman struggled to fight back, but his limbs were severed and the five mercenaries were holding on to the triangular sword, making it impossible for him to exert any force. They didn't dare to pull out the triangle sword, for fear that the Headless Horseman's joints would repair themselves. The acid quickly corroded the thick armor of the Headless Horseman. Aini brought his strange weapon to the fallen Horseman and stabbed it hard.

His weird stick was hollow at both ends, square, and spurting flames. If the acid hadn't corroded a hole in the Headless Horseman's body, Aini's physical strength would definitely not have been able to cause harm to the Headless Horseman. It was different now. His weapon was directly inserted into the chest of the Headless Horseman. With a bang, flames sprayed violently at the wound. A shrill sound came out of the Headless Horseman's body, and he twisted even more violently.
