Chapter 44: The Chase
Da, da, da...
A violent tremor came from under his body, especially the pain under his abdomen like a constant heavy hit, which woke Sean who was immersed in a sweet dream, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, and opened his eyes in a daze, and a picture of flying up and down almost made him continue to faint.
He was not fully awake at the moment, when he suddenly felt someone slap his back hard, and at the same time, the vertiginous image began to change, and a huge force lifted him up through the collar.
When his gaze turned to normal, Sean was fully awake.
At the last moment of his memory, he was still fighting Boris II, but when he heard a beautiful song again, he actually fell into a strange dream, which contained his warmth with Anna and Vivian...
It was at this time that Sean, who took the initiative to cut off his thoughts, found that he had been lying on a skeleton horse, passing through the low and dilapidated houses at an alarming speed.
It looks like Miss Skeleton saved herself again.
Sure enough, after finding that Sean was awake, the white bone arm that looked like a work of art handed him an iron rein, and after softly thanking him, he looked behind him, only to see that Miss Skeleton's short figure was completely covered by herself.
Doesn't she need to look at the road?
Driverless?
Before Sean could wait, his pupils constricting when he looked back instantly contracted, and Boris actually chased after the bone war horse less than twenty meters away, and the distance between the two sides was still slowly shrinking.
When I saw this, Sean wanted to ask, Mr. Boris, what did I do to you, and how did you hate me.
It's not like you're jealous of my looks.
Well...
It's possible.
With Boris II's hideous appearance and the disgusting smell of bodily fluids that continue to flow during the run, maybe this is really the reason.
Sean, who was in a state of misery, felt that the fog around him was gradually thinning, and quickly turned his head and said, "Can Miss Skeleton turn around, we can't leave this black fog with it now." ”
Click!
Miss Skeleton nodded, the soul fire in her eyes flashed, and the mounted that was ordered to make a movement that even a living creature could not do, only to see that it directly submerged its left front hoof into the ground during the run, and the remaining three hooves drew a perfect arc on the surface, and the whole body turned 90 degrees and continued to gallop forward.
"Thank you. Even Sean, who was holding the reins, was almost thrown off, so he thanked Miss Skeleton for her help, even though her rough movements made his abdomen ache.
In the face of Sean's gratitude, of course Miss Skeleton didn't speak, but the soul fire in her eyes fluttered, was she happy?
Sean, who couldn't get an answer, didn't think about it, turned his gaze past Miss Skeleton and continued to look back, and found that Boris also stretched out three sharp claws as support, making a sharp turn, but he didn't calculate his weight, and after smashing a house, he shook his head and crawled out of the rubble and continued to chase Sean.
"Sean Morrison..."
You're so persistent, Mr. Boris.
Sean looked at Boris, who called his name over and over again, and felt a wave of gratitude rise in his heart, but he didn't want to be caught up by Boris.
I have to find a way to stop it and wait for the captain and others to come to the rescue.
Of course, it is not possible to delay time by relying on the white bone war horse, because it is the summoning of Miss Skeleton, and Miss Skeleton can stay in the present world by relying on Sean's magic power, once the magic power in her body is exhausted, Miss Skeleton and the white bone war horse will disappear, and then she will have to face Boris's cordial greetings alone.
"There's no way Miss Skeleton can stop it, it's us who will be doomed if it goes on like this. ”
Click!
Sean looked at Miss Skeleton, who was shaking her head and pointing at her empty quiver, and then at the arrow that was still stuck in Boris's body.
It seems that Miss Skeleton has been delaying enough time while he is 'unconscious'.
Perhaps sensing Sean's gaze, Boris grinned again, but it didn't affect him in the slightest, and he slowly pulled out a test tube containing a dark blue liquid from his arms, which was a magic potion that Eve had given him before leaving.
The main effect is to restore the magic power, but there are strong side effects, after all, the recovery of the magic power is linked to one's own spirit body, relying on the medicine to forcibly squeeze the spirit will eventually cause irreversible damage, just like squeezing out water from a sponge full of water.
Becoming an idiot?
It's also better than giving your life.
Putting Eve's warning aside in his mind, Sean raised his head and poured the potion, it tasted good, like drinking cold lemonade, but from the moment he took the potion, it was as if a thousand needles were piercing his brain at the same time, and an indescribable pain and tingling sensation increased with the recovery of his magic.
"Hmph..."
He couldn't help but snort, and his left hand began to search for the holster on his waist again, but he found nothing unexpectedly, and sure enough, he lost the revolver that had not been fired, and had to take out a bone whistle.
He was going to summon Gollum and borrow a ranged weapon from it to stall for time.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A desolate whistle appeared in the rush of horses' hooves, and the familiar figure of Gollum appeared in mid-air wrapped in gray mist, and was held in Sean's arms as it gradually fell.
It's just that something unexpected happened to everyone, but the small body of Gollum was unusually heavy, and the four hooves of the skeleton war horse that were directly pressed were soft, although they did not fall, but their speed dropped significantly, so slow that they could hear Boris's heavy footsteps behind him.
Frightened, Sean threw the confused Gollum down and yelled, "I'm sorry Gollum, I need a spear, and I'll definitely pay you back." ”
Motionless on the ground, like a stunned grunt, Sean didn't dare to say anything when he saw this, whether it heard his voice or not, and now he could only move forward.
It's just that Sean didn't see Boris, who was in hot pursuit, watching him throw down the grunt, and stretched out one claw to scratch his head in some confusion, and then stretched out two sharp claws to tear down an earthen wall and throw it at Sean and the others in front of him during the gallop.
Sean, who was about to ask Miss Skeleton how to replenish the arrows, heard a huge whistling sound behind him, and immediately frightened him to pat Miss Skeleton on the shoulder and shout, "Dodge to the left, stone... Stone. ”
Sean's panic didn't affect Miss Skeleton for half a minute, and the fire in her eyes curled, and the warhorse leaped to the left with a big step to the left under the subversion of his common sense, dodging the attack.
"Roar... Sean Morrison..."
Boris, who was chasing behind, saw Sean slowing down, let out an excited roar, grabbed the walls and stones on both sides again and threw them forward.
Damn it.
Hearing a few more whistling sounds from behind, Sean was invective at Boris in his heart, and until now he couldn't figure out why Boris hated him.
You're going to kill me first, aren't you?
The war horse swayed left and right again under the command of Miss Skeleton, and in order to prevent Shaun from being thrown down, he quickly grabbed the reins and put aside the cranky thoughts in his mind.
"When did it learn to throw stones?"
Click!
Hearing Sean's inquiry, Miss Skeleton tilted her head and made a throwing motion with her hands, the distance between her hands being about the size of Gollum.
"Uh... You mean it's imitating us?"
Click!
Is it a 'multi-legged lizard'?
It also mimics human movements.
Thinking of this, Sean looked back at Boris and continued to throw stones to attack, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, if he didn't look at his face, it was really like it.
However, the situation is still not optimistic, although Boris's accuracy is not very good, but it can also force Miss Skeleton to constantly move and dodge, and the distance between the two sides is close again.
Seeing this, Sean's hand also flashed with a trace of gray-black magic, but then it was extinguished, he still remembered that the officer lady, who was also a second-rank officer, could only leave a white spot on Boris's scales by relying on weapons, and even if he made a shot, he probably couldn't hurt it, so it was better to leave some magic power and wait for him to work hard.
Luckily, it doesn't have a good brain.
Boom, boom... shout
Suddenly, a different sound came out in the roar of stones hitting the ground, and Sean, who interrupted his thoughts, turned his head to look, and a blood-red long tongue rolled up an ancient spear with a dark body and a trace of blood-red on the blade, handed it in front of him.
Although Sean looked at the figure that Gollum jumped up and down and followed him, this feeling was so strong that he couldn't help but express it immediately, but he couldn't help but shout: "Mr. Gollum, can you give me a modern gun, the kind that can shoot?"
Hearing the sound of grunting and shaking his tongue as if he understood, he rolled the spear and retracted it, but the movement of Miss Skeleton behind him was faster than it, and she directly snatched the black spear, and the gray light of her white palm poured into the spear, and then she stood up upright by relying on the stirrup, and then turned around suddenly, and the spear in her hand turned into a black-gray lightning bolt wrapped in blood, and ran towards Boris behind him.
In the blink of an eye, the spear left a hole in Boris's chest, and exploded into pieces of gray metal shards, leaving bloody wounds on its body, and the gray magic attached to it continued to corrode the wounds.
"Roar..."
Compared to Boris, who was injured and screaming, Miss Skeleton's eyes were full of blue fire, and even if she couldn't speak, Sean could read her joy, but she was happy, but Gollum froze in place, and didn't even have time to withdraw her tongue.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to comfort him, he heard the sound of a 'bell' again, and Gollum's entire body was submerged in a wall of dirt.
"Gollum..."
"Bang, bang. ”
Gollum who was hit seemed to come back to his senses, and after hearing Sean's shout, a small mound rose in the dirt, and for a moment Gollum's figure squeezed out of it, except for some dust on the surface, there was no harm, but it was full of grievances no matter how it sounded.
Despite this, it did not stop, jumped directly to Sean's side, and rolled out a double-barreled shotgun with golden lines carved on the surface and handed it to Sean.
"Thanks, Gollum, I'll compensate you. ”
"Bang bang. Gollum said as she happily rolled out a few bullets and handed them over.
This bullet is actually an extraordinary object?
Sensing the magic contained in the bullet, Sean couldn't help but have a trace of greed on his face, and Gollum was really rich.
Before Sean could make any moves, Boris, who had strong learning ability and hands-on ability, began to flash with strong magic on the single horn on his skull, and then in the originally dark curtain, bright lightning flashed and went straight for Sean.
