Volume 12 The Rise of the Darkwalkers! Chapter 17: Ka's Surprising Plan (Part II)
In the woods not far away, the layers of branches and foliage cover all the figures, and the undead elf swordsmen and undead thieves take advantage of their natural advantages in the dark, cooperating with each other to eliminate one thief after another hiding in the shadows. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】
"Little Bone, that person will be handed over to you. The current vice president, Aisha, patted Xiao Gu's thin shoulder, she was very satisfied with this disciple, not only obedient, but also born with a unique affinity for the elements of magic, and in less than a month under her hands, she had comprehended many skills that many apprentices could not master after meditating.
However, Xiao Gu's mastery of undead magic can only be said to be in the middle of the range, and his sense of the dark element is only slightly higher than that of ordinary people, but unlike this, he is closer to the fire element. Aisha understands that she can only give opinions on this point, and it is impossible to teach more, so she needs Xiao Gu to explore it from actual combat.
"I, can I......" Xiao Gu hesitated, in the underground world, although he had fought with many companions, he was still in a situation of being beaten at first, but with the gradual enrichment of his experience and the proficiency of his skills, it is now difficult to find a suitable opponent, and he is also eager for a real battle, but after all, this is the first time he has come to the ground, and he feels new and instinctively afraid in the face of an unfamiliar environment.
"How I taught you that no matter what kind of strong enemy you face, you must not lose your faith. Aisha poked Xiao Gu's chest with her finger and said, "And I'm going to clean up another mess, it is said that the deacons of the Thieves' Guild are not easy to deal with, and the most suitable person to deal with things here is you." ”
"Good. Xiao Gu nodded, since he understood that there was no way to avoid it, he put aside all his scruples and agreed without hesitation, and the green fire in his eyes also revealed a serious look.
Aisha touched Xiao Gu's bare head with satisfaction, and said, "Remember, I haven't experienced a life-and-death battle. You'll never grasp the real tricks, go ahead, here's a good chance!"
Deacon Manuel stood by the river, and he did not go when the accident took place, and listened to the sound of unbridled killing in the woods, and he was calm as if those things had nothing to do with him.
At first, he wondered if it was an attack by the Deep Blue Thieves Guild against him. However, the surging and violent elemental earth shaking immediately caused him to overturn this assumption, positioning the identity of the enemy to a higher level of danger, and perhaps the Deep Blue Thieves were facing the same crisis as him at this moment.
At this time, it is pointless to escape, those who died in the woods were the elite guards they brought with them, and they were slaughtered without resistance in a short time, which is enough to show that the other party is not only well-manned, but also has a certain understanding of their own side, at least they have made some preparations, although staying here may not be the best choice for starvation. But he clearly prefers the former to act blindly.
I don't know if it was out of jealousy or some other consideration, none of these attackers have so far appeared in front of him, that is. He was not the main target of the attack, and since that was the case, then the matter was negotiable, and what he pursued was that there was nothing that could not be discussed in a sitting down, and that the relationship between the so-called hostile parties was only tilted because of the imbalance in the distribution of interests, and that nothing could not be negotiated as long as the balance was re-balanced.
And. He was confident in his chips. He believed that this abundant capital and abundant conditions were sufficient to keep the other party from being embarrassed by him.
Footsteps sounded behind him. I can hear that this person's weight seems to be much smaller than that of a normal person.
For Inmanuel, who has been dealing with thieves all year round. The sound couldn't be more normal. He carried his hands on his back. Without looking back, he said, "Please come out of your landlords." I have something to talk to him about. ”
There was no movement behind him. But the footsteps stopped. He thought about it. Calmly said, "Don't worry. If you want to run. I've already run away. ”
A curious voice suddenly said, "What can you give us?"
Emmanuel frowned. He said confidently: "I will only talk to you landlords. You shouldn't be ignorant of this rule, right?"
"It's ...... Rules?" The voice hesitated.
A trace of doubt drifted in Immanuel's eyes, but in order to maintain his dignity and momentum, he still did not look back, but emphasized a sentence, saying: "These things may not be important to you, but they are of extraordinary value to your leader, so I hope you will consider them carefully." ”
"Nope. Or tell me about this first. The owner of the voice was visibly stubborn.
Inmanuel was a little annoyed and said, "I said it." This is the rule! You people down there shouldn't and don't need to know this. ”
"If you don't say it, forget it," the voice said something that made Emmanuel extremely depressed, but could not admit that it was reasonable, "I will arrest you." You can say the same. ”
Because Manuel suddenly turned around like the wind, because he also shot at the same time after the other party said this, so he had to dodge.
From beginning to end, he has always turned his back to the other party, which is not only a psychological tactic, but also shows that he does not have any hostility, but the other party actually does not pay attention to the rules at all, although he has already taken precautions, but there is still a wave of anger in his heart.
A puddle of dead black liquid passed by his side, and although the speed was not fast, it still surprised Immanuel slightly, and said, "Dark mage?"
The opponent in front of him, who had a big tone, was just a thin little man, wrapped in an airtight black robe, but his hands were empty, and he didn't have any magic staff or magic crystals in his hands, the little man shook his head, and then said solemnly: "Xiao Gu is an apprentice!"
The sound had not yet fully drifted out of the air, but Immanuel suddenly let out a muffled grunt.
The puddle of black liquid was only half a meter away from him, but it suddenly burst in the air, and several drops of the stinky liquid splashed everywhere hit his back, although the number was small, but Immanuel did not dare to try the mystery easily, to his annoyance, this was actually not a clever attack technique, but it was only the novelty of the attack technique, but it was enough for him to do a few highly skilled dodge moves in succession to completely avoid it.
At this moment, two more bony hands rose on the ground, and "pop", "pop", two sounds grabbed his ankle with unmistakable accuracy. and pulled him from the air to the ground.
This is not an ordinary skeleton hand, the two skeletons crawled out of the dirt with great speed, caught off guard, because Manuel was firmly held by them like a couple on the left and right, and they couldn't struggle for a while, these were just two ordinary elementary necromancer spells "Dungeon Bone Hand" and "Skeleton Summoning". "Combined variation of the use of methods.
Aisha had taught him that a mage should never be told what to do by his opponent, but should be clear about what he needs to do and how to do it.
In real combat, the first strike is the key, and the attack needs to be continuous, without any gaps, otherwise it is to give the enemy a chance, and each attack must be effective. Accurate、Don't pursue flashiness at the beginning, but be honest like a craftsman.,Repeat a set of attacks rigidly until you are fully proficient。 And after gradually perfecting in battle, then we can talk about innovation and play. Xiao Gu was completely following these instructions, and these attacks seemed to be done with ease, but in fact, with his talent, he had also trained this series of attacks hundreds of times, and after paying like this, he could do it so quickly and so unexpectedly.
It's just that now this attack is still one last step, and this is also the most critical step. Every time he did this, Xiao Gu would be inexplicably nervous, because in more than 100 experiments, he had failed more than half of them.
The chanting sound wafted in the air, and he needed two breaths of time to complete this powerful "Death Tentacle", which was already the shortest limit he could reach, and accidents often happened in this time in the past, and as a master, this time was enough to create conditions for them to turn defeat into victory.
Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be happening.
Bone successfully completed the chant. A tentacle of black mist gathered first on his chest, then roared towards his opponent in front of him.
Immanuel seemed to be completely stunned, he just struggled and writhed for a moment, and then twisted a strange expression on his face, and then was pierced by the tentacles of death, and finally the flesh of his body began to fester, and then fell to the ground like a thin mud in a "snapping" sound, and finally only a miserable white skeleton fell to the ground lightly, and suddenly cracked into countless pieces like fragile porcelain.
The ossicle lowers his hand. He stood still. It was supposed to be a successful battle, clearly won. But he just felt that something was wrong.
He tilted his head sideways and pondered, the green fire in his eyes flickered and darkened, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he stretched out his hand, and a little flame swirled and flew on his fingers, and in the evening breeze it instantly became a ball of fire, and with a wave of his hand, the hot and destructive red sphere rushed towards the place where Immanuel had first stood.
There seemed to be something twisted in the air, and a figure strangely changed from transparent to substantial, and rolled on the ground in a dodge, and slowly stood up, the fireball behind him "suddenly" disappeared into the boundless night, pulling out a long trajectory.
Immanuel patted the dust and weeds on his body, and said with a gloomy face, "How did you find out?"
"Is that really a disguise of a shadow clone?" Xiao Gu's voice was excited, he touched his head embarrassedly, and said, "I guessed, because I think since you are the deacon of the Thieves Guild, you shouldn't be so easy to be killed by me, right?"
"You're smart. Immanuel nodded, he took off the gloves in his hand and threw them on the ground, and said coldly: "But you did something stupid." ”
"You'd better think about yourself first. A sneering voice came from the woods, but there was a faint exhaustion in it.
Xiao Gu was surprised: "Mentor?"
"I still don't worry about you," Aisha walked out slowly, her clothes were a little torn, revealing the dry muscles of her arms and dead gray skin, she shook her head, and said, "That deacony is really troublesome, so I think you're probably going to have a problem here." ”
Emmanuel glanced at the strange places on her body, her face finally changed, and she lost her voice, "Lich?"
At the same time, the other end of the river.
After successfully escaping from the banquet hall, the man in black swam through the water safely, at the moment when he climbed to the opposite shore, the mood was unprecedentedly comfortable, he greedily breathed a breath of air, the night wind rolled up a slight chill on his body, under the cool air flow that passed through his face, a feeling of escape was spontaneous, he almost wanted to laugh a few times under the excitement, and he supported it with both hands, bringing the whole body out of the water, and the water droplets slipped down from his body freely, but at this moment, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a red light body flying in front of him, and it was getting bigger and bigger in front of him, and the hot breath was blowing in his face, and he could vaguely distinguish it, which seems to be a big fireball......
The man in black only had time to scold: "I'll do ......"
"Boom!"
A huge column of water burst out of the river, and a body that had been blown off half of its head rolled in the air like a rag doll a few times, and its hands and feet were clumsily pulled, and then it fell into the river with a "plop" and splashed a few small splashes.
......
