Chapter 14: The Unknown
The violent wind broke through the fog and muddy water, lifting three or four Wind Shadow wolves in the air, and the rest of the wolves roared, and several pale cyan wind blades instantly took shape and attacked Leo. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Unhurriedly opened the [Demon Guardian Spirit], and the fragile wind blade couldn't even shake it, and it dissipated outside the pale blue light shield.
I wanted to use the momentum to disrupt the formation of the wolves and kill a few more in an instant, but the whistling wind blade successfully blocked Leo's attack, and the three demon wolves that were lifted off also quietly retreated. As if fearful of Leo, several pairs of dark red eyes began to disappear into the darkness.
It would be a shame if they left easily.
With a general understanding of the attack methods of the wolves, Leo held the [Demon Guardian Spirit], like a wolf rushing into the flock, the sword light flickered, and he instantly cut off the head of the Wind Shadow Wolf.
The terrible howl resounded through the misty swamp, the bite of the wolves and the wind blade still could not break through Leo's [Demon Guardian], and the knight's sword that flashed white quickly harvested the lives of the wolves.
"Ding! Current XP: 130/1800! ”
Two dazzling slashes split the last of the Wind Shadow Wolf in half, and Leo shook the black blood off the knight's sword, announcing the end of the battle.
"It's only 5 experience points, it's too difficult to level up."
Leo frowned, looking at his properties panel.
If more than a dozen Wind Shadow Wolves were killed by one person, and they were also demonized Wind Shadow Wolves, if this matter spread, Leo's reputation on the border would instantly reach its peak, and even the adventurer who was named the strongest in recent years might not be able to say.
The smell of wolf blood spread along the mist, and the sound of fierce battle not far away had disappeared at this time-feeling the tragic death of their companions, the remaining wolves chose to retreat.
Walking briskly to the place where the collision had been heard earlier, Leo was surprised to find that there was no one but a few corpses of the Wind Shadow Wolves.
Did he escape, he wondered, and then examined the wounds on the body of the Wind Shadow Wolf.
Nala Cook wields a knight's sword, Neil wields a sword-like weapon, and if the characteristics of the wounds can be determined, the identity of the person who was previously surrounded by wolves will be known.
But it doesn't seem that simple, all the Wind Shadow Wolves have gurgling holes in their heads, indicating that they have been pierced by a huge blunt object, but this weapon is not used even in the Altai mercenary group.
And these Wind Shadow Wolves still have green liquid on their claws, which the Wind Shadow Wolves who fought Leo before did not have.
"What are these, Iros?"
Leo pointed to the green liquid on the wolf's claws and asked Iros, who was beside him.
"Strange, it's the sap of the plant, and it has a strong aura of the wind element, but it's not the Wind Shadow Wolf."
Iros's expression was also a little puzzled, and he said softly.
"One Yin Rock is enough."
Leo stood up, sliced off the green liquid claws of the Shadow Wolf and threw it into the box behind him, then pulled out a ball from his arms.
The first-level magic item "Fluorescent Bomb" will cause all the surrounding "Fluorescent Stones" to glow when used, which is the way Leo communicates the end of the mission to his companions.
After pressing the button on the ball several times, the brown ball lay silently on Leo's hand without any response.
"The magic pattern inside has been destroyed, and the fog here has the power to interfere with the magic pattern."
Iros's eyes glowed blue, and he looked at the orb in Leo's hand for a moment, then sighed.
Exploring uncharted areas often leads to accidents, and the last communication preparations are useless, and Leo wonders whether to go back first or find someone.
If he had known in advance that it was so dangerous in the fog, he would never have agreed to a separate mission to save time, but it was too late to regret it at this point.
"You should be able to find them, Iros?"
Leo, who was helpless, began to ask the goddess of the moon for help, if only Xiao Nuan was by his side at this time, thinking of this made his heart ache inexplicably.
"The mana has only recovered a little, and if you want me to help you, the contract between us will have to be extended?"
Surprisingly, Iros didn't show a sign of refusal.
Originally, her first goal was to quickly restore her magic power on Leo, but she changed her mind and decided to use this to extend the time of the contract in order to get to know more about this brave man who had reached the evil god.
You'll just stay until you don't want to leave.
Leo complained to himself, but nodded on the surface.
The pale blue magic flowed in Iros's body, and the body that was not very clear was even lighter, but a gentle force suddenly flowed into Leo's eyes, and the vision that was originally shrouded in dark fog and night suddenly appeared countless fires, some blue, some red, some yellow, and some white.
"Ding! Cast by a special skill to gain a buff effect [Moon's Vision]! ”
"You can perceive the flow of the elements now, the white elements are human, there is not much time, hurry up and find it."
"Also, what is the elemental form in your eyes?"
Iros asked an inconsequential question at the end, leaving Leo stunned, and though there was something to consider, he answered honestly.
"It's in the shape of a flame."
[Moon's Vision] is the blessing skill of the Luna Clan, but in the Luna Clan, this skill is called the "Luna Eye", which allows humans who cannot perceive the flow of elements to look directly at the power of the elements with the naked eye, the stronger the induction, the more dazzling the light in his eyes, Leo sees the form of fire, indicating that his sense of the elements is very strong and strong.
Even the legendary warriors who were blessed by the moon god could only see the points of light.
Iros suppressed the shock in his heart and resumed his silence.
Two white fires, one large and one small, danced in the field of vision, the larger ones were still moving, Leo didn't think much about it, and ran over to the nearest ones.
・・・
The fog around seemed to be thicker, and Nala Cook looked around warily, removing a blood-colored stone from a rock wall and throwing it into the chest behind him.
There was a sound of stones colliding, and she had found three blood-colored stones, two yin stones, and a star-shaped white stone—all three of which were minerals for the scene here, and should be of great value to the scholars on the team.
She dodged two Skeleton attacks along the way, and even heard the roar of wolves halfway through, but escaped just in time.
"Strange why there is no signal of mission termination now."
The torch in her hand was almost extinguished, and she took out the "fluorescent stone" in her arms, but was disappointed to find that there was still no signal.
Maybe something had happened, and the thought of this made her heart uneasy.
She and Neil are both third-level warriors, the best among the mercenaries in the imperial capital, and they have been in and out of a lot of ruin missions, and many monsters have been killed, so it stands to reason that there will be no accidents.
And that mysterious Leo, who has a fourth-level warrior just in terms of momentum, is also one of the few powerhouses in the first court knights of the imperial capital, and it will be fine.
The sound of light footsteps suddenly sounded, and Nala Cook's pupils shrank, and she stopped thinking about it, and pulled out her longsword and slashed behind her.
The sound of swords clashing was heard, and the splash of sparks illuminated her face and the appearance of the other party.
The resolute and cold silhouette only turned the eyes into pitch black, as if they were covered with black mist. Nala Cook was shocked, she knew the look all too well.
"What are you doing! Neil! ”
She roared angrily, increasing the force in her hand, and instantly shook the long knife in Neil's hand and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Nala Cook, who was also a third-level warrior, shot down the opponent's weapon so easily, was stunned.
In the moment she was stunned, Neil in front of her let out an inhuman roar, and earthy yellow flames erupted from the inside of his body, and the human body was suddenly covered with cracks, and lava-colored firelight shone on his body.
"What is this?!"
Nala Cook was shocked, and at this time she also understood that the other party was not Neil, but just disguised as Neil.
The body burned with yellow flames swelled up, about two people tall, and a turquoise ball of fire appeared where the head was supposed to be, and a faintly twisted face burned in the fire.
This is a creature she has never seen before, she has only fought with demonized demons all along, and the monster in front of her that challenges her imagination so much is not so much a monster as a demon.
The humanoid's huge palm was full of flames, and the scorching wind pressed her, and her face was instantly yellowed by the firelight.
Although she was shocked in her heart, her battle consciousness was not lost, and she calmly leaned down, threw away the box behind her, and rolled to the side of the flame monster.
The fire scars narrowly brushed the side of her face, and the little sparks made her frown, but she smiled.
The opportunity has been seized.
Red magic flowed on his body, and the knight's sword in his hand hissed, with red marks, and the blade of the sword roared, piercing into the side of the flame monster, and exploded, lava-like flames scattered and flew in all directions, and a terrible hole suddenly appeared.
Losing the small half of its body, the huge body of the flame monster was a little unstable, and the green fire ball at the head was also jumping.
With this in mind, Nala Cook once again urged the red magic to wield the red knight's sword and stabbed at the top of the flame monster's head.
It was human instinct to attack monsters' weaknesses, and her instincts told her that the green flame was the monster's weakness.
In the yellow light of the fire, she could even see a twisted face full of horror in the green flame.
At the most critical moment, a pale green light burst into the battle between the two like lightning, and slammed into Nara Cook's shoulder.
The light armor on her shoulders to protect her body shattered instantly, and the powerful impact knocked her to the ground, rolling several times on the dark soft mud, and the knight's sword in her hand fell to the side.
With eyes full of ooze and stars, Nala Cook gritted her teeth and looked up, a yellow phantom in her blurred vision, apparently the flame monster's.
Not far away, there was a tall green phantom, a cut above the flame monster, and the attack just now was thought to have come from it.
A feeling of extreme danger came, and she struggled to get up, feeling a terrible burning sensation.
In the blurred vision, the swollen orange fireball emitted green smoke and shot out from the yellow phantom, illuminating a large area of fog, whistling towards her head!
