Chapter 222: Sacrifice
"Leave him alone," Simon ran back to pull Vanessa with several arrows and sword wounds, "give him mercy!" ”
Give him mercy. Vanessa's eyes were full of unbearability. Not because Dundee was an old man, but more because of how much help he could give himself and the runaway team on the road ahead.
"Pick up your sword! Solanda! Simon was furious, "Give him mercy!" You've never been so indecisive before! ”
Give me mercy. Dundee prayed to Vanessa with his eyes, his cheeks dripping with slime and dark red blood, his crushed teeth digging down his broken jaw into his collar, the cotton robe was red with blood, and half of his body was almost soaked in a pool of blood.
If you don't do it, Simon and Matt's eyes will be even colder, Vanessa pulled out her dagger, the blade licked the old man's loose neck, and with a slight stroke, the blade was as unimpeded as cutting into the mud, blood spurted out of the arteries, and fell to the ground into countless red spiders of all sizes, they rushed to the imperial guards, to sting, to bite, to entangle the enemy, Vanessa knew that it was Dundee using the last magic to help his friend get out of danger. She didn't look at the old man's dying expression, this time, she resolutely turned away, rushed into the chaotic newt stone hall, she walked at the back, and from time to time brandished her long sword to pick off the nearest monster reptile, and when she got closer, the large centipede blind newt writhed its bulky body and struck at them quickly.
"Fire! I need fire! Vanessa cried, her sword slashing at the newt's foot to no avail.
"No need!" Simon sheathed his sword and closed his eyes to cast his magic, blue flames pouring out of his bleeding wrist, and he grabbed the giant newt in defiance of its struggles. Vanessa was scared and panicked when she pushed the magic to force through the giant newt's body, she didn't know the details of Simon, and she never dared to ask him what his magic was.
Under the heavy impact of mana, the giant blind newt tossed helplessly, and its whole body spasmed and screamed. After a long time, it howled again in a completely different voice, like a lost beast in the wilderness. The giant newt's prosthetic eyes lost its brilliance, its twisted mouthparts like an idiot, gurgling long saliva, and it began to walk awkwardly, alternating with a thousand pairs of gastropods, and it walked faster and more frantically, but no matter how fast it walked, it could never get even closer to the fugitives.
It's a magic that Vanessa has never seen before, she can't name it, but she finds it very effective, so hurry up and get through this treacherous hell before it fails.
"Stop! Solanda! Behind him, a familiar voice rang out.
It looks like the guards have dealt with the gray wolves.
There was no need to look back, Vanessa already knew that it was her archer, her long-awaited lover, who was talking. But now he was a different person in his eyes, an enemy he had to get rid of. Solander, if you want to watch us fall in love and kill each other, I won't let you do it.
Can't turn back, Vanessa knows Reina, just by seeing his eyes, his arrows will fly to take her life.
Something has to be said, something has to be said.
"Salted squid!" Vanessa closed her eyes and had to pick up her scar again, and when she finished the gamble, she realized that she didn't have an extra arrow shaft on her body, so she continued to rush forward.
Reina hesitated, the bowstring in his hand slackened by the name known only to himself and Vanessa. What was he thinking? Vanessa didn't have time to write a monologue for him, the fugitive team was embarrassed at the moment, they had just walked to the center of the stone hall, they had been surrounded by a large group of blind newts, the blind newts solved the rooster and the troublesome copper bell, and began to angrily look for the real murderer of this qiē, soon, under the siege of a large number of blind newts, the arms of the fugitives wielding their sword blades began to be sour and numb, the resistance of the three people gradually weakened, and the slashing became weak, so some of the blind newts became bold and began to climb up their bodies along the corners of their robes and leggings, Pierce the flesh with mouthparts and suck the meat directly.
Simon had already been hit by several arrows and was bleeding incessantly, and he was the one who attracted the most blind newts, and his body was instantly crawling with insects, and the places that could not be reached by the sword could only be picked with both hands. Not only Simon, but Matt and Vanessa also writhed around in a frustrated manner, slowing down their pace just in time to give their pursuers a chance to attack. But in the face of such a frightening scene, even the battle-hardened imperial guards were a little intimidated. Vanessa cast a pleading glance at Reina, but for a moment she was lost in her screams, and the trumpeted newts stretched out their mouthparts and plunged into her flesh, spitting out venom that dissolved flesh acid like spiders, and the three of them died of pain, jumping to their feet and cursing.
"Run!" Vanessa bore the brunt of the blow, stepping open of her scarred leg and struggling to move towards the flaming exit. But the newts apparently refused to let go of this rare meal, and they surged upwards one after the other, pulling Vanessa's legs down with their own weight, and countless gray-white bony limbs crawled in an orderly manner towards the most delicious flesh.
If we don't, we'll all be trapped to death, disgusting flesh, sucked into the stomach of a blind newt by thousands of straws. Vanessa struggled to raise her sword-holding arm, and with a flash of cold light, the long blade sank into Saimen's chest cavity and came out.
"Simon!" Matt screamed and lunged at the gladiator, but was grabbed by Vanessa, who dragged the scrawny Prince of Ice to the exit, five steps to go, hoping that the machine in her and Matt's body would be enough to drive them to the place where the fire lit up.
Matt looked back at his guard with tears in his eyes, and before the tall and loyal magician could say anything, he collapsed into the pile of bugs, and countless newts immediately swarmed up, and they gave up the princess and Matt who were constantly resisting, and turned to the dead corpses that were easier to gnaw, which gave the two men a chance to breathe, and Vanessa's foot managed to step into the light of the exit, and Matt was almost within range of the firelight.
Light.
It turns out that the newt is afraid of light.
Vanessa sighed. If he had conjured up torches and flashes in Dundee in the first place, things wouldn't have gotten the way they are. She looked back at Simon, who had been eaten to the bone, and felt guilty in her heart.
"You killed him!" A grief-stricken Matt glared at Vanessa hatefully.
"But it saved you." The princess said calmly. I think Solanda will do the same. It wasn't until then that Vanessa suddenly realized that she was unknowingly imitating her sister's way of doing things!
