"Are you saying that your right arm may be the reason for attracting these elemental creatures?" Gelkate asked as he rode on his black horse. After the battle, this smart horse quickly returned to its long-standing master.
Reilis nodded but didn't seem to know how to explain it. The female mage frowned and thought hard, hoping to find some good excuses and excuses.
Gelkate held the battle ax but said disapprovingly: "I know your arm is weird, otherwise how could I speed up and rush into the forest by myself?"
Huh!
Relis was stunned by these words. Gelkate calmly took out the severed arm wrapped in cloth and said, "Speaking of which, you haven't seen your right arm since I cut it off." The current condition of your arm, do you want to take a look now?"
"Yeah┉┉" Relis nodded involuntarily.

"Yeah┉┉" Relis nodded involuntarily.
Looking up at the ice crystal falcons hovering in the sky, Gerkat untied the white cloth wrapped around the severed arm after confirming that they would not attack for the time being: "Miss Mage, I have to remind you to be mentally prepared in advance. Oh, the next scene is not so pretty."
As the white cloth was untied, an arm that had turned pale appeared in front of everyone. Relis looked at her right arm and could not help but squinted her eyes slightly in fear. What surprised others was that the fingers of her right arm had already It turned into a state like ice crystals, and many other parts of the arm also had this strange crystallization phenomenon, making it difficult to imagine that this was once a body of flesh and blood.
"Is this really my arm?" Relis shook her head and said in fear. Not to mention a girl like Relis, the little mage next to her was so scared that she shrank her head back when faced with such a terrifying sight.
Gelkate shrugged and said, "Of course, otherwise it would still be mine."
"How could it be like this?" Relis stretched out her hand and gently touched the crystalline part of her arm. The smooth and hard feeling clearly told Relis that this was indeed a touch like ice cubes and crystals, and it was definitely not... The softness of flesh and blood.
Gerkat, who was holding Relis' broken arm, also said meaningfully: "Although I am not a mage, I can feel that the water element concentrated on it is quite large, and what is very strange is that the water element is like some kind of disease. It is also constantly eroding your arm. This is a very rare phenomenon! Your arm is now in a more serious condition than when I first met you. According to my judgment, I think if you had not cut off your arm at that time, Maybe the erosion of the water element will be along your right arm┉┉”
As he said this, Gerkat stretched out his hand to draw a route in front of Relis and said: "┉┉It enters the body bit by bit from here and then slowly begins to erode the whole body. Once it reaches the heart, you will be dead! "
Leilis knew that Gerkat's words were not alarmist. At first, only the palm of her arm that had been in contact with the mysterious man suffered from frostbite. In the past few days, the frostbite had quickly spread to the entire arm. Looking at the severed part of her right arm, Relis knew very well that if Gerkat hadn't cut off her arm, once the frostbite spread through the arm to the body, if she couldn't find a way to treat it, she would just have to slow down. Waiting to death.
"Actually, I'm also curious about what kind of power can bring so many water elements together to form this state. Can you tell me?" Gerkat suddenly asked.
"This┉┉me" is what Relis is most worried about. Under the eyes of other mercenaries, Relis doesn't know what to do for a moment.
"I don't think this was done by the Og barbarians. Even the best alchemists and high-level magicians can't do this kind of power that can change the nature of matter, let alone the barbarians who don't know magic at all." When he finished, Gerkat pointed to the falcon above his head and signaled.
Faced with the casualties of her teammates, Maggie was also a little unhappy with Relis who suppressed and concealed the truth and said: "Miss Relis, mercenaries and employers need to trust each other. We have lost 6 companions because of protecting you. What’s going on with those high-level elemental creatures coming for you?”
"I'm sorry! Please tell me I can't reveal it." Relis also looked at Maggie guiltily and promised: "I promise you that as long as you return to Belika Fortress, I will pay you a generous compensation for this loss. and remuneration”
“It’s not about money┉┉”
"Forget it!" Gelkate waved his hand and said with an indifferent expression: "If there is any special reason why you don't want to say it, forget it!"
Not only Reilis but also Maggie and the other mercenaries looked at Gelkate strangely, as if they were asking why.
Gerkat re-wrapped the severed arm and said: "As mercenaries, it is our principle to collect money to do things. We only need to know what the employer requires us to do. As for why that is not our consideration."
Maggie looked a little indignant and said: "But chief, at least the employer cannot provide us with false information. No one will accept a commission that has been framed."
"There is no false information. As our employer, Miss Relis, the mage, wants us to escort her back, but our employer cannot know in advance what situations we will encounter during the escort. Even if we encounter this situation, we can only It's just that we are unlucky." Gerkate still said with a relaxed face: "If the employer had to explain everything clearly, no one would hire mercenaries like us."
Maggie Liao, who was facing Gerkate, did not dare to speak anymore. She could only glance at Relis to show her dissatisfaction. Relis looked at Gelkate and saluted slightly: "Thank you very much." you."
"Actually, if you really want to thank me┉┉" Gelkate said with a weird smile: "Just give me your broken arm?"
"Why"? Relis was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to what Gerkat wanted her right arm to do.
After putting the severed arm away, Gerkat said in a relaxed tone: "It's nothing special, but I hope you can give me this severed arm, is that okay?"
"Yes┉┉I will promise you as long as I return to Belika Fortress." Relis, who was defeated in terms of momentum, could only nod in agreement.
"Thank you so much." Ignoring the weird looks from the subordinates, Gerkat continued to say to Relis: "Miss Relis, don't be discouraged. According to the current situation, this arm is impossible. I’m taking it back to you, but even so, there are other ways to recover.”
Relis smiled bitterly and said, "I also know some methods of limb regeneration, but these are very difficult."
Although she has never seen it with her own eyes, Relis has also heard in rumors that the sacrifices in the Holy City in the western part of the continent can regenerate human limbs. Of course, there are also some rare sacred objects that can regenerate arms. For example, it is said that the dead can be regenerated. The Stone of Life that can save lives can also be done. Of course, the cost of obtaining a Stone of Life is greater than slaying a dragon. After all, the materials used to make the Stone of Life are all rare and precious items that are difficult to obtain. One of them is dragon blood. Now it is said that only the Holy See still possesses two stones of life, but they are priceless treasures and it is impossible for the Holy See to use them for themselves.
"Boss! We are in trouble!" The big man Coleman suddenly shouted, interrupting Relis's train of thought.
Everyone looked up to the sky. The three falcons hovering in the sky actually gathered and fused together at this moment. The expanding and deformed ice crystal body began to lose its bird-like posture, and was replaced by the posture of a huge centaur. Death. The severe cold continued to pour out from the elemental organisms, and with the roar like a giant beast, the huge water elemental creature completed the fusion and stretched its huge wings to fall from the sky to the ground.
At the moment they landed, Gerkat and others almost felt the ground shaking violently. Ice frozen the ground and spread radially in all directions with the elemental creatures as the center. Compared with the bird-shaped ice crystal falcon, this time the elemental creatures Wearing thick ice crystal armor, the hard ice wings are folded behind his back, and the war hammer in his hand is reflecting the dazzling sunlight in the sky. When the elemental creature, which was over 15 meters tall, glanced at the mercenaries beneath him, it almost instantly turned everyone into captives of fear.
Looking at the almost suffocating terrifying monster in front of her, Relis murmured in disbelief: "How is it possible...does the elemental lord really exist?"
"Elemental lord? No!" As a 13th-level mage, the little mage has naturally heard of the debate about the existence of elemental lords.
Elemental Lord! As elemental creatures summoned by mages, there is a clear gap in intelligence according to their levels. Some low-level elemental creatures are completely puppets without any mind. High-level ones such as Ice Crystal Falcon and Ifrit are extremely intelligent creatures. In fact, after some research in the Tower of Sages, it was found that elemental creatures seem to grow by competing with each other and devouring their own kind. Once, a magician in the Tower of Sages made an inference that where the four major elements are located There must be existences in the spiritual world that are more powerful than the currently known high-level elemental creatures. These powerful elemental creatures are the central organization that manages the entire elemental creature!
Beings like the queen of ants and the queen of bees are called 'lords' in human terms!
But this is just human speculation. There is no evidence to show whether these so-called elemental lords really exist. Some even think that this is pure nonsense. In the view of these mages, elemental creatures need their own magic support. To be able to maintain in the material world, the strength of elemental creatures should depend on the power of the caster, not the power of the element itself.
"It seems that after returning home, Miss Master, you can ask the Tower of Sage to compile textbooks again." He said jokingly as he looked at the elemental creature Gerkat approaching in front of him.
"If I can still go back alive with my life┉┉" Lei Lisi's voice was trembling.
The giant water elemental beast raised a hand and pointed it at Gerkat. The dazzling blue light instantly condensed in its palm, and the huge ice arrow with suffocating coldness shot towards the gathered mercenary team like lightning. , before anyone had time to react, Gerkat had already jumped off his horse and raised his ax to meet him.
The black ax blade bit into the ice arrow and successfully broke it into pieces. The scattered ice cubes temporarily confused the mercenaries. However, at the moment when Gerkat shattered the ice arrow, he discovered that the huge elemental creature had successfully approached him under the cover of the ice arrow. The huge ice-made warhammer in his hand struck fiercely, and it seemed that I intend to get rid of myself once and for all.
This shit is so smart! In the crisis, Gerkat could only turn the battle ax in front of him in an attempt to reduce the impact. At this moment, the two parties looked like a giant bear slapping a mouse vigorously, waiting for the war hammer in the hands of the elemental creature to come into contact. In an instant, Gerkat knocked it away like a baseball bat.
"leader!"
Amid Maggie's worried shouts, Gerkat's body flying in the air broke many branches with a crackle, and he stopped falling in the distant forest only after he was almost out of the sight of the mercenaries!
Feeling that the blow was successful, Yalin continued to issue orders to the elemental creatures. The second huge ice arrow was released from the hands of the elemental creatures without hesitation, and its target was directed at Gelkate who was not sure whether he was dead or alive in the distance. , Yalin doesn’t want the bloody plot in anime where the protagonist is resurrected. If you want to kill, you must kill thoroughly, and it’s best not to leave the body behind. The 'lord' level water elemental creature created by fusing three high-level elemental creatures together. Because the distance is too far, even Yalin can only keep it in the material world for 15 minutes. Once the time is up, the elemental lord will Will have to return to the spirit world, and then there will be no way to stop Relis.
Although the ice crystal falcon is much inferior to the water element lord in terms of strength, it has been in the material world for a much longer time. However, facing that ridiculously strong mysterious warrior, Yalin had to put all his efforts in hope. Deal with the opponent within a quarter of an hour.
Maggie rode on her horse and ran towards the place where Gerkat fell. Facing the ice arrows flying overhead, she raised her crossbow and shot all three explosive arrows without reservation, but the three explosive arrows were just Reducing the size of the ice arrow a little did not completely prevent the ice arrow from hitting the target.
The moment the ice arrow hit the target location and splashed countless ice cubes, a shadow called despair was cast in everyone's hearts. And behind them, the huge elemental lord was chasing after them with a roar and a war hammer in hand!
