Chapter 192: Listen to My Roar (Part II)
On a rooftop of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, a red-haired and red-eyed aristocratic boy was sitting on a recliner with a smile, the glass in his hand swaying with the mellow liquor in the cup, and he looked thoughtfully at the "battlefield" not far away.
The tentacles of the hideous corpses turned into slurry in the dragon's dragon flames, struggling in pain. But soon the monster sprouted new tentacles and rushed into the sky with a howl of rage.
"It's horrible. ”
Brandon de Salion, who took a sip lightly and still had wine stains on the corners of his mouth, smiled, as if watching a wonderful gladiatorial fight: "I have never seen a monster that can be intact in front of the dragon flame of Mirasis!"
"The trapped beast is still fighting. ”
Behind him, the doll-like girl, Fitlonay disagreed.
"Uh...... I'm not a big fan of talking back, but this time you may have guessed wrong. Brandon smiled and looked at the girl behind him, "It's not some real evil god - according to the Wizard Tower, it's just a shell." ”
"So?"
"You don't seem to understand the meaning. The red-haired boy sighed regretfully:
"Indeed... We have an unrivaled dragon like Mirasis, but how many are there? and these monstrous beasts... They can be created, there is no such thing as an upper limit.
Such monsters can easily destroy any well-trained legion, and the only thing that can defeat them is the more powerful dragons.
How many dragons do we, the glorious Sakran Empire and the glorious Dragonlord family, possess that can rival them?"
Fitlonay's expression finally changed slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Chilling, isn't it?" Brandon's smile added a little pathos:
"What's more, we still have to face the threat of the north and the enemy of the east at any time...... Now we can still destroy them without hurry, but if even two or three strong enemies enter the country, it will bring the seemingly mighty Sakran Empire to the brink of collapse!"
“...... We have legions, and many rich and powerful principalities, impregnable fortresses. Still, Fitlonay spoke, and his tone was firm:
"We still have dragons. ”
"Yes, you're right. Brandon looked at the corpse monster that was dying in the dragon's flames in the distance, but never collapsed: "But isn't there such a saying—if an empire falls, it is not because of weakness and stupidity......
...... Rather, it stems from arrogance. ”
The knight girl was silent for a long time.
"How long will it take for the Legion to reach Ebolden?"
"Already outside the suburbs, they can enter the city as long as they have the order, but they don't have siege weapons with them. Fitlonay is still in that unapproachable cold tone:
"So you have to get Mirasis to defeat that monster and destroy the gates. ”
"You're really good at making people...... Uh, okay. ”
Seeing that the girl had become a little unkind, Brandon quickly withdrew his complaint, got up from his chair, coughed lightly twice and whispered, his expression seemed to be whispering to his lover:
"It's time to fix it, Mirasis!"
.................. Eboton sewers.
The impact and roar from the upper floor made the corridor vibrate violently, filling the hall with smoke and dust, and from time to time fine gravel and gravel fell from the top of the head, as if the entire underground labyrinth would collapse at any time.
But for the four people who had just fled here, this was not what they should be most worried about - between the earth and rockfalls, countless mutant monsters were already pouring towards their locations, and the roar of rage was deafening!
The Night's Watchman, who had no time to think, uttered the word again that he had said so many times.
"Running ——!"
In the huge smoke and dust, the four people who didn't even have time to cough immediately ran desperately.
Edward gritted his teeth.
The layout of the sewers is very complex, and there are many roads - as long as they don't get lost, they can easily get rid of the monsters behind them.
Although the smoke and dust will obscure their vision, it will also make their scents and figures difficult to detect, and if all goes well, it won't be long before the monsters can't catch up with them.
If all goes well......
"Boom ——!!!!"
Another loud bang exploded overhead, and in the billowing smoke, the Night's Watch saw the monsters again, screaming madly and lunging at them.
"We've got to get rid of them——!"
The roar of the female elf came from behind.
"I know that, too!" shouted Edward, who was almost on the verge of losing his cool, "Anyway...... You can't stop!"
"That's it!"
Wrong... Wrong...... I have indeed deliberately avoided it, even if these monsters have noses that are smarter than dogs, they should have been thrown off a long time ago.
Wrong......
Wait a minute... Could it be possible?!
A terrible thought rushed into the Night's Watchman's mind, one he didn't want to believe, but at this moment it seemed like the only possible answer.
If that's really the case......
"Vera, you go around the side corridor and join us at the next port to see if you can get out of the way!"
"Got it!"
The moment she replied, the sturdy figure of the female night watchman had already rushed into the opposite corridor of the three of them - it was risky to do so, and the more scattered the enemy, the more likely it was to attract more attention, or even attract more enemies.
But if this speculation is confirmed, the rest will be easy.
The roaring monsters behind him were still pouring in like a tidal wave, and Edward even deliberately slowed down in order to meet Vera at the next corner.
Just as they were about to reach their intended goal, a familiar figure rushed into their field of vision, and a galloping Vera swooped in from another corridor, but behind her......
Not a single monster followed!
The icy touch instantly soaked the night watchman's body, and the frown was replaced by fear.
"We've been discovered!"
"What do you mean by that?" Vera said impatiently, "We must have been discovered, otherwise why would we run?!"
But a certain female elf suddenly understood.
During their expedition to the Eternal Night Forest, they had encountered such a situation - non-stop, days-long pursuit and battle royale, even if they escaped the encirclement of hordes of ogres again and again, they would still be overtaken.
That is to say, this time too, is that big liar fighting some guy like Mezca?
"We've got to keep one!"
"What are you talking about?!" the night watchman stared at the war dancer's face in amazement.
"That's what we did last time, and that's the only way to stop them for the time being!" Leah held her spear across her back, her expression resolute: "Listen up......"
"I'll stay!"
As soon as the pale-faced little wizard finished speaking, he suddenly stopped—the three people in the wild rush didn't even have time to make a decision!
"Ain ——!!!!"
In the middle of the corridor, it was pitch black.
The emaciated little wizard stood alone in the middle of the corridor, in front of the monsters that were pouring in like a tidal wave, ready to skin her alive.
"I—I'm not a small man......" Ain, who lowered his head, murmured softly:
"I am Ain Rand, an alchemist from the Rand family of Deep Limburg, from the Rand family of Mt. Limpal, Wimpal Academy. ”
The thin girl stood up straight, squeezed the "spellcaster" on her left hand hard, and opened her palm, there were already two more bottles of alchemy potion in it:
"If necessary, I can fight, I don't need someone to help me——!"
With a snap of his fingers, the groundwater in the middle of the tunnel suddenly rolled up in a stream, and the dripping alchemy potion fused into it, surging towards the monsters that pounced.
No
That's not water anymore... The little wizard slowly raised his head with a calm expression.
That's fire.
The moment the surging water gushed, it turned into a blue tongue of fire and landed on the bodies of one monster after another.
It was obviously just a very weak flame, but after being stained with the monster's skin, it stuck to it like glue, burning sharply - in the blink of an eye, dozens of monsters turned into thick water!
The flames did not stop, but continued to burn until the pieces of meat were completely melted.
But it was only a few dozen monsters, and then the wave of roars continued one after another, and they were not frightened by the monsters that had turned into mud in front of them.
The girl twitched her throat slightly, trembling and opened the buckle of the short sword at her waist, holding the hilt with the left hand of the "spellcaster", and the silver-plated sword body was drawn out like flowing water, pointing resolutely at the monsters that were already rushing at her.
"May ... The void is with you——!!!!"
