Chapter 1390: Phantom
"You know...... The dwarves may have found this trouble themselves, right?" the ice dragon asked, trying to keep his voice down.
Ed was taken aback: "Do you understand?"
“...... What?"
"That circle on the ground. ”
“...... You don't need to understand that to guess at all. The ice dragon flicked his tail disdainfully, "If it weren't for the trouble they caused, even if these guys had real stones in their heads, they wouldn't be so desperately covered, and even if they were all wiped out, they wouldn't reveal anything to their kindred." They're going to have the cheekiness to ask the human priest for help even to get rid of a dragon!"
The last sentence unconsciously raised his voice, and Ed almost wanted to cover its mouth, but unfortunately his hand was not that big.
—————
"And," the ice dragon refused, "do you think the dwarf himself could not have imagined it, and he knows better than you what the virtues of his people are. ”
Ed threw his hands forward, slumping its back still.
"It doesn't matter if he thinks of it," he said, "anyway, don't say this in front of Mork!"
The ice dragon snorted back and fell sharply.
"It's going to start again. It said.
Ed didn't hear nervousness in this sentence, only excitement and anticipation.
"Don't mess around!" he reminded Nana as he jumped off the dragon's back, "Be careful of burning yourself!"
"Or are you going to tell Naria again?" the ice dragon snorted back.
"As long as it works. Ed was not ashamed at all, even a little proud, and ran away quickly with his hands.
The ice dragon was so angry that it wanted to bite. However, the picture of hell has unfolded, and the tip of its drooping nose is facing a demon with black hair and black eyes, who looks very much like a human, and has a mouth that reaches to his ear. Both sides were taken aback, the demon retreated sharply, and the ice dragon simply stretched its neck and bit it, and immediately snorted out in disgust.
It's really unpalatable!
By the time he landed, he had turned back into a human so as not to accidentally squash a few dwarves. Because he threw Nana to Ed, he didn't have any worries at this time, and swept his eyes around, going straight to the most lively side.
The battlefield is becoming more and more familiar with new enemies - some humanoid demons, able to use weapons, and even able to cooperate with each other, and the armor on their bodies is not very good, but they are also decent.
Such a demon does not have any advantage over the dwarves. Although there has been no conflict for many years, the tactics of today's dwarven army are mostly formed in battles with elves, and they are very easy to deal with enemies with some rules. But add to that the little devils who die as many as they can, who are crazy and noisy, and who bite like wild beasts, and it is a headache for the dwarves.
Is's mood was even worse. This place is no longer just a gladiatorial arena, it is also a ...... Give the demons a better idea of how to defeat their training grounds.
Moreover, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is for them. Even if they had time to rest, the energy of the mages and priests was not so quickly restored. Ed may be okay, but once the little mage can't cast any more spells, it's just a crispy chicken with a fragrant and tender flavor.
He swung his sword and slashed a demon in two, but a chill ran through his back, and he quickly turned sideways, and the ice blade narrowly opened a thin sword that silently stabbed him in the heart.
The enemies standing behind him didn't look much different from the other humanoid demons. It's the same as a human body and facial features, but it's always a little bit like a human - this guy has four eyes.
It didn't even have a compelling aura, and when it spoke, it was thin and fluttering, but it was extremely clear into Is's ears.
"Phantom dancer of Kantilaya," it said, "please advise." ”
The wording was polite, but it was clearly a sneak attack.
"Phantom Dancer. Isis scoffed, "Is it a shadow dancer who learns to be an elf? looks like a human, and learns the name of an elf...... Can you guys have something of your own?"
"But," the demon sighed softly, "all we have is broken and twisted...... And despair. ”
The singing tune made Iss tremble with disgust, his scales stood up, and he slashed through it with an unceremonious swing of his knife.
The way the demon moved was really like a shadow, floating away with the sword wind. Yet when it raised its weapon, it was as if its entire body was part of it, sharp, cold, and cunning.
Rapier is a favorite weapon of elves, its lightness can maximize their agility, and it does not require any sinister moves, and "fast" itself is a stunt to defeat the enemy. But in the hands of the demon, the weapon was more like a thin viper, its movements were not as fast as those of the elves, but it was extremely strange, always able to stab from unexpected angles, and the faint light on the sword made Iss instinctively want to avoid being stabbed, and he was in a hurry for a while in the initial battle.
The other party was too close, almost close to him to attack, the ice blade he used most easily was too long, and he couldn't use it at all, and replaced it with a scimitar, and it was a little awkward for a while, and in anger, he really burned himself.
Flames rose from him, and his blonde hair fluttered as if it were part of the flames, and the demon had to drift away as he slammed into his enemies.
"An ice dragon," it chuckled, "but with fire as a weapon." Don't you think there's something wrong?"
"It's ...... for you"
His gaze drooped unconsciously - by the way, the annoying little guy he had already thrown out.
“...... !"
Isis cursed refreshedly, and with a single swing of the scimitar transformed into a long bow, shooting countless ice arrows with a line of flame as a string.
This time the guy didn't get away with it completely. However, the arrows that easily pierced it were still crystal clear, not stained with blood, as if the humanoid demon was just a thin piece of paper.
The wound was clearly not fatal, but the demon let out a long sigh, and it paused like a leak, and instantly dispersed into ashes.
"Goodbye. ”
The voice drifting in the wind said goodbye to him, faint and clear. Is's heart trembled, as if something had stirred in the depths of his soul, and there was unspeakable fear and uneasiness.
In fact, most of the flames on the body are bluffing, and they are imperceptibly dimmed and extinguished. The light flashed in front of him, and the crackling blue-and-white arc shook several enemies that were coming at him. He stared unconsciously at the humanoid one, at its charred flesh - it was clearly bloody, not an empty skin.
"Is!"
The cries of friends could be heard from afar. He came back to his senses, slashed off the head of a little demon that looked like a skinned sheep, and rushed towards Phili, who was still always besieged.
Anyway, let's talk about it after the fight.
.
Ed tries to find a priest or mage from the dwarves running around, someone who knows more about the spells used by the Black Rock dwarves.
Although it is not at all recognizable from their outfits, and they prefer to smash their enemies on the head with their weapons during battle, the dwarves do have their own priests and mages.
He stared at one. The dwarf subconsciously wanted to treat his companion when he was injured, and when he realized that they didn't need treatment now, he was still stunned, and although his beard was long, there were not many wrinkles on his face.
It's a young, a bit of a simple dwarf, so it's easier to fool around...... Persuade.
"I'm going to use a ...... Maybe not so good spells. He told him anxiously and eagerly as Mock approached him, "I want to capture the soul of a dwarf." ”
If you keep being like this and being thrown out from time to time...... It's nice to have a chance to rest and talk, but figuring out what's going on here can be quite time-consuming and laborious.
The dwarf was stunned for a moment, as if he understood what he meant by "bad", and then calmly replied to him: "If you think it's worth it, then do it." ”
Ed picked off the jewel from the buckle and held it in the palm of his hand.
He didn't prepare the materials for this spell, after all, no one expected this situation at the moment, but this aquamarine was pure enough...... It should hold a dwarven soul well and won't hurt him in the slightest.
He carved runes as quickly as he could between battles. The unseen tentacles crawled across the mess, curling the young dwarf's ankles in a split second.
The dwarves vanished in place, unable to reunite. His companion was momentarily surprised, but could only continue to fight.
Ed quietly gripped the slightly heated gem and carefully put it away.
When he looked down, he was facing Nana's round eyes.
"This, absolutely not to eat!" he warned solemnly.
