Chapter 1: Venesia
There was another roar, and before we could run, the five Thornwood Demons surrounded us from all sides.
"Guardian Enchantment!"
I saw that Mayfair's body emitted a dazzling light from the inside out, enveloping us in this transparent halo.
The Thornwood Demon also pounced at the same time.
"Bang"
The five Thornwood Demons slammed into the transparent light mask, but they were catapulted out by a powerful magical force. The Thornwood Demon fell heavily to the ground, and the spikes on his body broke a lot.
However, the few people inside the mask were not damaged at all.
The Thornwood Demons were furious, they weren't reconciled. So, they rushed towards the mask again. However, it still didn't work at all. It's just that Mayfair looked a little reluctant, and cold sweat was already breaking out on her forehead. Once again, the Thornwood Demons were bounced open by the light mask, and this time they fell harder. Avina and Nataya took the opportunity to use ranged attacks to smash at the Thornwood Demons, but the Thornwood Demons' defenses were terrifying. Sure enough, the strength of the demonic beasts in the elven kingdom is much stronger than that of other places.
The Guardian Enchantment is a high-level magic of the healing system, and Mayfair can't last long, so we have to find a way quickly.
At this time, the Thornwood Demon looked extremely angry. Suddenly, their originally strong torsos instantly became very thick, and their eyes were bloodshot.
Like a hill, the Thornwood Demon blocked out the light and roared from time to time.
"Oh no, this is the berserk of the Monster. Killien said
"What is berserk?" I asked
"It's ......"
Before Killien's words could be finished, the Thornwood Demon's unusually thick arm shattered Mayfair's guardian enchantment.
"Ahh
Mayfair spat out a mouthful of blood, and by this time she was already weak.
"It's bad. Killien said
I drew my sword and looked at my enemy. Others are also preparing to fight, because the chances of escape are already slim.
I bounced and rushed at the Thornwood Demon, the sword in my hand slashing at the hard bark of the Thornwood Demon like a tongue of fire. There were a few howls, and the thornwood demon seemed to be not lightly injured.
But suddenly, a pink mist drifted from nowhere
"Don't inhale these pink mists, these are the most phantom poisonous mist of the Thornwood Demon. "Killien noticed something was wrong, but it was too late.
As soon as Killien's words fell, even he himself was caught off guard, and he fell into a chaotic illusion.
I was no exception, I just felt a dark red in front of me......
When the dark red disappeared, I saw three people not far away, but I couldn't see their faces clearly.
I struggled towards the three figures, who were unaware of my presence.
When I got closer, I was shocked. In the middle of the three figures was Avina, and next to her were executioners dressed in black.
Avina was tied up and couldn't move, so she could only ask me for help.
"Don't" I tried to stop me, but my feet felt like they were stuck in the mud. I could only watch as the two executioners raised their beheading knives, but my heart was like a knife.
"Ah," I cried
At this time, the forest was silent, and I saw the five of us standing motionless, and the Thornwood Demon had all disappeared.
Killion was the first to break out of the illusion, the kind of magic he had ever seen, it was the unique magic of the Thornwood Demon.
Then Killien helped us force our way out of the illusion. The so-called forcibly leaving the illusion is to hit the person in the illusion hard.
"It scared the hell out of me," I gasped as I was freed from the illusion
The other rescued people also stood aside with very pale faces, apparently having encountered something terrible in the illusion just now.
"There are so many powerful demonic beasts that come out at once, you can't stay here for long. "Killyon wasn't hurt lightly
We don't know why those Thornwood Demons didn't continue to attack us, we don't know where they went, we just want to get out of there as quickly as possible. We didn't stop and rode quickly on our horses to Avenesia.
Avinesia, the capital of the Elven Kingdom. It is hidden in the treacherous valleys, forests and streams. There is a moss-covered white gravel path that leads into the valley, and once inside, it fills with the fragrance of trees and flowers.
It is known as the City of Hope, and the color palette of the buildings is mainly white. It is truly a masterpiece of the elves, and the city is like a holy pearl embedded in the forest valley. It's one with nature.
My group passed through a forest path of pine, birch, and oak trees to an open meadow at the edge of the river. The elves sang there, and then crossed a very narrow bridge with no guardrails, and under the bridge was a rushing river, formed by the melting of the snow in the mountains.
Finally, we entered the city of hope like a fairyland on earth - Avinesia
The gates were guarded by two elven guards, their fine elven armor making them look handsome and burly, and when they saw Killien, they respectfully opened the gate and let us in. In the city, except for the guards, who can ride horses, ordinary elves are not allowed to ride horses. We dismounted and led the horses.
Passed through the street and stopped at a square with a huge green tree. The trees were extremely luxuriant, and the leaves looked crystal clear, very beautiful.
An elven guard who looked like he had gone through vicissitudes approached, and he gave a standard elven salute to Killien.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already commanded you, please go to the Council Chamber. The elven guard said politely
The guard in charge of the reception gave a look to the young guards behind him, who took our horses and led them to the stables.
A few of us, led by the guard, made our way to the council hall above the square. When the guards saw Kiellien with us, they opened the door to the council chamber.
Walking into the conference hall, the walls inside are shining, shining, spacious and bright, which opened our eyes a lot.
The two rows of long tables in the council chamber were filled with silver utensils filled with all kinds of delicacies and fruit wines, but those delicacies were vegetarian, because the elves were a race that loved nature and life, and never ate the carcasses of animals, they were vegetarians.
At this time, sitting in the center of the long table was an elven man dressed in a gorgeous robe, young and energetic, calm and resolute, with a crown on his head.
Needless to say, he must be the great Elven King Elovis, I thought to myself.
"Welcome warriors from the Demon Hunter Blade Mercenary Regiment, please take your seats, I have prepared a sumptuous meal for everyone. The elven man sitting in the front seat was extremely elegant in his words and deeds.
Everyone took their seats in turn, and the Elven King motioned for the music to play. Several beautiful elf musicians played elegant and beautiful music.
"You have come all the way to the Elven Kingdom this time, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the Elven people living here. ”
"Your Majesty, along the way from Otmara to Avinesia, we have encountered all kinds of magical beasts, and our strength should not be underestimated, which has never been done before. Killien said
"That's why I've summoned the warriors here, and the monsters in the forest have been particularly disturbed lately, and the power of darkness is reviving in this ancient land. Elven King Elovis said
The Elven King entertained us with a sumptuous elven feast, and then asked his men to arrange a place for us to stay, and told us to come back tomorrow to discuss the matter. And just like that, nothing happened all night.
