Chapter 35: John and the Dark Mage

Everyone looked at Vane nervously, not knowing what he meant.

"I've found a lot of animal bones upstairs, and there's a book on the dark arts on the table, and I think the guy who lives here has some connection to that black cloak, and we'd better get out of it now. Vane gathered his things and hurried towards the door.

"Bang!" Just then, something hit the door from the outside. Vane was so frightened that he took two steps back in succession, and everyone was tense for a while.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a quick knock outside the door, followed by a voice coming in: "Help, open the door!" The voice was full of fear, and people couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs after listening to it.

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.

"Please help me, I'm a guard in the city of Obojar. They're coming!" The voice at the door was full of fear and despair, and kept banging on the door.

"Click. Vane opened the door, and in the thick fog outside stood a man dressed as Obojar's guard. The man was stunned for a moment and rushed into the house, and Vane quickly locked the door.

"Thank you...... Thank you. He was panting with his hands on his knees. After waiting for a while, he stood up, put his left hand on his chest and saluted everyone, and then said: "I am a guard from Obohar, named John, I entered the forest when I captured the fugitive today, but I did not expect to encounter his sneak attack, and after I escaped, I encountered a group of ...... It's good you saved me. ”

"Fugitive, what does that fugitive look like?" Vane asked.

"He wore a black hooded cloak, like a magician. John replied.

Vane and Felder looked at each other, then asked, "What were you talking about?"

John's face immediately turned pale, and his lips trembled, and he said, "I didn't see exactly what it was, but I heard countless scalp-tingling sounds behind me, some sounding like the grinding of bones, some sounding like moans of pain, like dead people's ...... Although I know it can't be. ”

Vane suddenly remembered that bizarre dream, he frowned, paused and said, "I have one last question, what is today's date?"

"Today should be the fifth day of the seventh month of the Age of Magic, is there any problem?" John replied with a blank look on his face, but still replied dryly.

July 5th?Shouldn't it be July 27th?, Felder muttered to himself.

Vane looked at John and said seriously, "John, you were actually dead on the fifth of July. The others were stunned when they heard this, John is already dead? Who is this person in front of him? Feld and the others felt a chill on their backs, and their bodies stiffened and slowly retreated.

"What? No way! I'm standing here...... You say I'm dead?" shouted John, a little frantically, looking like a child who wouldn't admit his mistake.

Vane looked at him and shook his head and said, "First of all, you can't survive the attack of the Dark Mage, especially if this is the Everfree Forest. Second, it's July 27th, not July 5th, and we found a decomposing corpse on the way here, and I now wonder why those pieces of clothing look familiar, because that's the uniform of the City Guard. And that corpse is you, John. ”

John froze in place, and slowly his whole body began to radiate a blue glow, and the expressions of fear, panic, and hope on his face seemed to have disappeared, and only calm remained. He smiled and said, "Thank you, I actually knew I was dead, but I didn't want to believe it." Now I think it's time to leave. With that, his entire body slowly disappeared into the air, as if it had never been seen before.

"Is this the legendary Soul Redemption just now?Vane, you're amazing!" said Eth with a glint in her eyes.

"Whew...... It's the first time I've seen a human soul. Elena's tense nerves relaxed.

"Really, it's a little scary to think about it now, I've been with an undead for so long. Felder said as he straightened his blonde hair.

"I'm afraid...... Now you're going to have more undead on the other side. With that, Vane picked up his staff. The whispers of pain, the creaking and screeching sounds everywhere, sounding chilling.

"What the hell is this?" felt Felder's hand shaking as he raised his sword.

"The owner of this room is back. Vane said. He felt his throat run dry, swallowed unconsciously, and continued: "He should be a black mage, we are already surrounded by an army of skeletons and zombies, and with our current strength, it is undoubtedly a dead end to fight the black mage head-on." ”

"What then?" said Felder, hurrying.

An obscure spell came out of Vane's mouth - the Great Fireball. The Great Fireball technique requires only one more magic herb than the fireball technique, which is the salamander feather. Salamanders are scarce in number and only live in high-temperature areas such as deserts, so this medicinal herb is relatively scarce and expensive.

The flames formed a huge sphere at the top of the staff, and the flames formed by the high temperature surged irregularly around the sphere. Vane pointed his staff at the south wall with both hands, and the fireball slammed into the wall with a roar, and the space around the path twisted in a visible arc. The fireball didn't disappear after hitting the wall, and continued to whizz forward, running out of energy and disappearing into the air after crashing into several skeletons outside the wall.

The wooden wall was blasted open with a huge gap more than a person high, and the entire wall was charred black, and the wood in the gap was still burning. Outside the house, at least dozens of skeleton zombies had also been cleared by the fireball to clear the road about two meters wide, and the ground was full of shredded flesh and bones.

"Felder, now, rush out!" Vane shouted in a low voice.

Before the words could be spoken, Felder and Simpson had already rushed out. The army of skeletons and zombies also reacted, and they all rushed towards several people in an instant.

Due to the large fireball spell just now, Vane will feel weak all over his body, and his steps are a little vain, so he can only barely cast a magic shield on others. As a magician majoring in natural spells, Ise naturally has no ability to attack. Felder, Simpson, and Elena protect Vane and Ise in the middle, and break out together.

Felder held the sword in both hands and slashed without stabbing it, and the flesh flew everywhere the sword light went, and the bones shattered. Simpson slapped his bear-like palm on the top of the skeletons and zombies like a piece of tofu. But the skeletons and zombies seem endless, and everyone is locked in a fierce battle.

"When!" Felder slashed at a skeleton with a sword shield, which was blocked with a bone shield, and Felder only made a mark with his sword. Seeing that the bone sword was about to stab Felder, one big hand grabbed the head of the skeleton and collided with the skull in the other big hand, and the heads of the two skeletons shattered into bone slag in an instant. Elena aimed at a skeleton archer and drew her bow and arrow, the arrow piercing the skeletal archer through the skeletal archer's head with a sharp sound.

Suddenly, a fireball in the distance came straight towards Elena with a roar, like a meteor in the night, Vane wanted to cast a magic shield but it was too late, and Vane's magic shield could not stop such an attack.
