Volume 3 The Song of the Dragon and the Wind Chapter 86 Night Hunt (2)
"Look, someone is going to turn into a demon again. Qasim whispered.
"Canther is already in trouble. If the young master wants to keep him alive, should we go up and help?" said the magician Abram Cole, walking to the right of Gaseem Morgan.
Abram was fifty-three years old, looked thin, was actually covered in muscles, and had dexterous hands. As for Qasim, who was twenty-one years younger than him, although he was slightly fat, his round face was full of fat. Both of them are members of a team of eighteen mages, and are ordered by Silver to follow Canther all the way, and their mission is to ensure that Canther returns to the Night Tour Church alive.
"You're still staring at it, right? that kind of monster...... Well, as long as Canther is alive, it's enough. But how did you grow so big...... This wall won't stop us. ”
Qasim covered his cloak. He didn't want to be discovered while observing the situation, especially by Derek, who had turned into a monster. He grabbed Abram's left arm by the hand, causing him to hide with him behind a grassy stone wall. Then he counted the people in front of him.
Derek's team of Assassins consisted of twenty men, and there were fifteen left. Glori and Derek were in the center of the crowd, surrounded by five Assassins.
"Glori, get rid of them quickly! Dylan shouted from the perimeter. He spun the flaming sword in his hand.
"There's something wrong with this guy, he seems to be going to be a monster completely!"
Glori was staring at Derek. He saw Derek grow wings, and he saw Derek's mouth bulging out - almost like a combination of a mythical werewolf and a birdman. In the face of monsters, you can't let up. After concentrating, he cautiously shifted his pace to prevent a sneak attack from the Assassins around him.
Suddenly, five Assassins around him attacked together. Glori calmly grasped his power and did not let the sword in his hand flicker. For a moment, he could not find their weaknesses, these assassins were specially trained. So, he didn't plan to use magic for the time being. He looked around with his spare eyes, looking for a breakthrough.
"Glori, over here!" Zoe shouted. Then, she uttered the incantation of fire magic: "God of Fire, lend me the Flame Spear!"
Glori followed the direction of the sound and saw flames shoot rapidly from the left.
"That's it!"
With a straining of his right foot, Glori stepped forward with his left foot, dodging the dagger stabbed from behind. He then stepped forward with his right foot and slashed to the left, blocking the Assassin in front of him.
When Zoe's magical flames were dodged by the Assassin on the right, Glori took the opportunity to knock back the Assassin on the left who was dodging the flames and broke out of the encirclement.
Shortly after Glori's breakthrough, Derek stood up. His nails became slender and like sharp blades.
At this moment, a knife-like wind from behind tore violently. Glori then used a little magic to make the blade of the sword shimmer with light spots, and the mana fluctuations on the sword were very balanced, and the blue glow just surrounded the blade. At that moment, Glori turned and swung his sword, tearing the wind blade apart.
However, Dylan, who had been playing the assassin's game, was caught in the trap, and he took out the fishtail shield that had been hanging behind his back. When the three assassins stabbed Dylan's shield with their daggers, there was a muffled sound from his shield.
Dylan was worried that the shield in his hand would break, so his eyes became serious. He stared at the red-glowing daggers in the hands of the three assassins, hiding his shield behind his back.
"Stop! Stop! It's not a joke!"
Dylan stepped back in panic. He hadn't forgotten to think about how much it would cost to change the shield, so his serious expression disappeared, and his brow tightened. Thankfully, Will's magic was abundant, and in an instant, the entangled assassin fell to the thorns, and then turned to help Dylan.
"Dylan, let's clean up the three Assassins and help Glori!" Wei shouted.
"But, my shield!" Dylan looked at the brand-new shield, then at the Assassin's glowing dagger. He couldn't bear to use it. And it was a gift from Wei to him.
"Dylan, how could King Shennuo give you that ordinary shield, you should try it, then you will know that it is a good shield. Glori shouted anxiously.
"Now, we're partners. Don't use those honorifics anymore and just call me by name!" Wei responded.
"This is the current King Gudian, a god who treats all living beings equally. Christopher boasted. Then he praised his human companions. "Your Majesty! These people can be trusted. I think it's time for me to return to Fengyan City, so that His Highness Lolaika can rest assured. I don't think you will let him down on this trip. ”
"Yes, that's Christopher. He's already got the style of Daddy Briant. ”
Juy, who rushed over to help, said with a smile. She knocked out the two assassins with a poisoned dagger, and only walked behind them and swiped them lightly around their necks. Her fighting stance fascinated Christopher.
"Small talk? You've got to try this!"
With a flick of Derek's claws, a black mist rises. The crowd stretched out their hands and saw their fingers. In the distance, Iris became more and more anxious, and walked slowly behind the wall.
In the black mist, Glori was once again surrounded by the five Assassins, with Derek right behind him. Grori felt a chill behind him and turned around. He saw Derek's eyes glint blood-colored in the mist. Just as Glori was about to raise his sword and slash at Derek, there was a rush of heat from his clothes.
"It's hot! What's going on? The clothes are on fire. Glori looked at it subconsciously.
"It's so hot! 'Clothes are on fire!'" Irris's clothes were stained with black mist, and the corners of her skirt suddenly set on fire. She slapped the corners of her skirt hard, but the fire could not be extinguished.
"There is only one life in man, and when he dies once, there is nothing, and everything that he has worked for will be in vain. You can hand over the golden covenant for the rest of your life. I advise you to give up!Look at my gorgeous body, you're going to fall sooner or later!" Derek threatened.
"It is true that human beings only have one life, so we live very hard, and work hard for the important things, thinking that as long as we do not turn our backs on our faith, we can one day usher in a truly happy life. Can you, who have become a monster, still understand this?"
Glori retorted, leaving the blue flame on his sword calm. He knew that if he relaxed for a moment, the darkness in his right abdomen would consume him.
"Well, then, let me kill you once. I can take everything you have in just one time!At that point, you can't blame someone like me!" Derek chuckled in a twisted voice, which sounded harsh.
"Dragon God bless, Dragon Fire!"
Glori swings his sword. Where the sword light rushed away, the black mist was dispersed. His body burned with a blue glow, and divine magic engulfed the flames of darkness.
"I know you can, put out the fire and help Dylan!"
Glori sensed Elris's fluctuations in mana and knew she was close. However, he can't keep his mana draining and must maintain a balance against the darkness on his right side. So, he can only trust his partner.
Soon, Elris's chant rang out in the black mist behind Glori.
"God of light, I pray that the power of darkness will fade away in the colorful light!"
Elrith radiated seven colors of light around her. Then, a colorful light from the sky pierced through the dark clouds, steamed away the black mist, and shone on everyone.
As a result, Glori regained a little of his magic, while his companions extinguished the black flames on their bodies.
At this time, Derek turned into a black mist and disappeared. Again, he emerged from the black mist at Elris's side. He flicked his claws, but he didn't hit Iris in the neck.
"Irris!"
Glori didn't disappoint Dylan. He just appeared in front of Elrith's eyes and grabbed Derek's claws with his left hand. He had no choice but to do so, as his right hand swung his sword at the same moment to block the Assassin's attack.
Realizing that his hand was being caught, Derek's clenched his claws until his fingers sank into Glori's handarmor. He scrambled to rip Glori's arm off. Unexpectedly, his gaze on Glori's arm was noticed by Glori. With one hand, Glori spun his sword, stabbed the assassin down, and slashed at Derek's right arm.
"Glori, thank you for blocking him for my Elris!"
Dylan broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this. At this moment, he and the rest of his companions were surrounded by Assassins.
"It's just in time, otherwise Dylan would have gone crazy. Zoe relieved herself. She clasped her hands over her chest. Her heart was pounding, and she almost thought she was going to lose Irris's companion.
However, Dylan's voice warmed Irris. However, Iris can't afford that. When she found out that Glori was hurt, she cried out. "Dylan, help!"
"Help, let's help!" shouted an Assassin, gesturing at the surrounded, Dylan, Way, Zoe, Christopher, and Say.
"Don't get in your way!" Dylan roared. However, he was not Mr. Mayne, the Divine Knight, and he couldn't wave his hand to knock one down. He couldn't get out of the encirclement, so he had to watch anxiously.
"Ahem......"
Glori swallowed the blood that was about to pour up his throat, coughed, and forced a laugh—he told Dylan that there was no need to thank him. Then, the light on his body flickered. It turned out that it wasn't just the sword he swung that was grabbed by Derek, and his left hand was forcibly pulled.
After a jerk, Glori's pupils dilated, but he still didn't blink. While Derek was speaking, he squeezed the sword in his right hand, and by the way, he let the "Blue Flame Whirlwind" screen himself and Derek to block the assassin who wanted to sneak attack.
"See how long you can last!" Derek scoffed. However, he laughed and stopped laughing, for Glori's eyes became sharp.
If Glori wants to find some way to defeat Derek, he'll have to stalemate with him for a while. In order not to let Derek catch the gap, he could only keep staring at Derek and force the sword in his hand to slash at Derek's left shoulder. At this moment, he was reminiscing about the Nightfall Assassins.
"And this Night Assassin League has a history of more than 2,000 years. Unlike the Nightfall Church, the Nightfall Assassins League was founded specifically to defeat the Nightfall Church. After the Order was sealed, the group also vanished. How do you deal with them? They don't show their weaknesses in the face of the enemy. You'll never be able to find their weaknesses, so how do you defeat such an enemy?"
During a combat training session in the field, Mr. Mayne asked Glori.
"Then fight until you defeat him! ”
Glori thought about his answer to Ritsu that day. He felt that he could achieve his goal like a blacksmith forging a sword blade, as long as he concentrated. He remembered Mr. Mayne's smile. Just as he was thinking, he heard Dylan's shout.
"Glori, I'll help you!"
This time, Dylan used a flaming slash to knock out two Assassins with the echo of his companions. But he still didn't use the shield, which he hung behind his back. In fact, he forgot the shield he had just hung on his back because he was worried about his best friend. He swung his sword into the whirlwind, forcibly disrupting the collision of dark magic and divine magic, causing Glori's eyes to twinkle.
"Dylan!"
Glori lost his mind, and the whirlwind magic dissipated. Then, he saw Derek slashed from the back by Dylan, but the flaming sword was thrown out as if it had hit the air. Dylan pushed so hard that he did a roundabout. In the blink of an eye, Derek lifted Glori, turned around, and kicked Dylan out.
Seeing Dylan flying far away, he frightened Kanther, who was slowly approaching the horse. "That young man, this is uncomfortable enough. The tree is down. You can't be reckless, you're too young. Thank you for saving me, though. ”
"This damn monster, so ruthless. I have to go back to church, so I won't play with you. Cancer whispered. When he found that the flames on his body had also been extinguished, he immediately climbed on the horse's back and spurred it vigorously.
Abram kept an eye on Canther. "Now it's okay, our mission continues. Hope all the best for the rest of the journey. He and Qassim also mounted their horses.
Now, all that was left next to the dead trees was Glori's party and Derek's team.
"Dylan, stand up!" called Glori. He stunned his body with all his might—the light of the stars, shining brightly. Derek was shaken back, and his right hand, which had been clenched, was released. Just then, Pod arrives with Aina in her arms along the way—she draws her sword and stabs it in the chest before Derek can gain a foothold. Seeing this, the assassins all ran away.
"Hmm...... Completely undetected. Pod smiled at Glori.
When Glori lifted his sword, it was an accurate slash. Derek shouted as he tried to fend off the attack, and his claws were severed, falling to the ground along with his head.
“......”
Glori was silent for a moment, never responding to Pod. He couldn't smile and just hoped that it wouldn't happen again. He glanced at the horizon, withdrew his sword, tore a piece of cloth from his cloak, put it on the back of his left hand, and wrapped it around it a few times.
"It's not over yet. As night falls, we have to continue to Mochizuki Castle. ”
