Chapter 7 The prelude to the derailed adventure has quietly begun!!
After Anson and his party left the city, they advanced all the way to the southwest, and Anson and his party also maintained the formation that Marco explained at that time.
Marco's formation was based on Lucis as the front guard, Anson as the defender, and Wendy as the flank, and the joint defense of Lilica and Maruma Will.
And although Marumawell is a priest, because of his size, he took the initiative to carry everyone's luggage.
"Anson. ”
After a few days of getting along, several other people except Lucis have already become one with Anson, and most of Lucis's occasional taunts are directly ignored by Anson.
At this time, the person who talked to Anson was the introverted Wendy, in fact, among the several people, Wendy talked to Anson the most.
"Oh, what's wrong. ”
Anson looked at Wendy who came over, and replied with a gentle smile, in the conversation with Wendy in the past few days, Anson found that although Wendy's personality is introverted, he is actually a very thoughtful person.
"Brother Anson, why do I think we have encountered far more monsters these days than when we usually come around here? ”
Wendy faced Anson and asked the question in his heart, and hearing Wendy's question, Anson's heart instantly became empty.
"Ah, I also heard Marco say before leaving, the number of monsters in the kingdom has increased recently, it seems that what Marco said is true, haha. ”
Anson replied to Wendy embarrassedly, but why did he encounter more monsters than usual, it was because of Anson, of course.
On the first day after leaving the city, all he encountered were scattered monsters that basically didn't do any damage, and once the monsters appeared, Lucis would rush up to solve them as soon as possible, and no one else was needed at all, but at the same time, Anson discovered a huge problem with Lucis in battle.
This question may not seem like a problem in the eyes of others, but in Anson's opinion, it is a major problem that is likely to cost Lucis his life in future adventures, and Wendy is the only person other than Anson who finds out about it.
And the problem is that Lucis relies too much on skills, and most importantly, Lucis doesn't use Buff skills like Anson uses when fighting people, he relies on attack skills that consume more MP.
Anson, who found out about this, didn't take the initiative to find Lucis, but Wendy, who also found out about it, told Lucis about it.
"Just take care of yourself, I don't need you to teach me how to fight. ”
Lucis didn't appreciate the problem Wendy pointed out at all, so in the next few days, Anson made adjustments in the route selection, and each time he chose the route, Anson used the skill of [Enemy Radar] to probe and select the direction with the most monsters.
For the first two days after the route was changed, Lucis still maintained his fighting style, but because the level of the monsters was low, nothing happened.
However, as the level of the monster increased, Lucis began to make frequent mistakes, but thanks to Wendy's help, there were no problems.
After a few mistakes, Lucis also began to realize his own problems, and began to consciously correct his own mistakes, which Anson was also satisfied, but Anson in order to be able to continue to guide the team cooperation of several other people, so in the following days, Anson still chose the route with the most monsters.
"Hey, I said Captain, don't you feel like you don't have a sense of existence. ”
Seeing Wendy talking to Anson at the back of the line, Lucis, who was at the front of the line, habitually taunted Anson.
"Xiaolu, why do you always have trouble with Brother Anson, have you forgotten what Mr. Marco said? ”
Hearing Lucis's words, Anson just smiled, but Liliga, who was in the middle of the team, looked very dissatisfied and angrily lectured Lucis.
"Little ghost, you have that idle time, you might as well look back at your front. ”
Just as Lucis and Lilika were arguing, seven or eight goblins appeared in front of the team, and all of them were around Lv.9.
Hearing Anson's reminder, Lucis immediately turned around and entered the battle state, and at the same time, Lilica also took out her wand, and Wendy also took out the short sword on her waist, and detoured to the goblin in front of her from the flank, and Marumawell directly released a Buff skill to Lucis.
"[Holy Light Protector]"
Anson was very satisfied with the performance of Lucis, at the beginning, these people did not have any cooperation at all, but after a few days of fighting, the cooperation between several people has also begun to have some tacit understanding.
Lilica's magic, in particular, will no longer hit Lucis because of nervousness.
"It looks like we'll be on the mission soon. ”
Anson was at the back of the team, looking at the goblins in front of him, and then he used the [Enemy Radar] to probe the surroundings and confirm the distance to the mission location.
However, when Anson was confirming the information that the [Enemy Radar] had returned, a small red dot caught Anson's attention.
The little red dot was not far from the group, and Anson looked in the direction and noticed that in the shadows of the woods was hiding a goblin, which was different from other goblins because this goblin had a cunning look in his eyes that far surpassed that of other goblins.
This goblin has a necklace of beast teeth around his neck, and holds a wooden staff that is a head taller than himself, and some animal bones are hung on the wooden staff, and this goblin is the advanced species of goblins, goblin wizard.
Anson frowned at the sight of the Goblin Wizard, and then he glanced at the others who were fighting the Goblins, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.
As the leader of the team, he is also the overseer of the team, and as the captain, it is his duty to alert the others to the existence of goblin wizards.
But in terms of other people's abilities, it is simply impossible to deal with the goblin wizard while fighting with these goblins in front of him, not to mention, this goblin wizard is still elite-level.
The so-called elite-level monsters are xenomorphs with intelligence and level far beyond other monsters of the same kind, and the biggest danger in the adventure is these elite-level monsters.
And the goblin wizard hiding in the shadows of the woods has the strength to make Lucis and the others destroy the group, because the level of this goblin wizard is Lv.23.
But if Anson personally takes action to deal with this goblin wizard, it will be equivalent to revealing that he is not Lv.11, then he will no longer be the leader of the team, but will act as an overseer, which is equivalent to Lucis and the others have failed this mission.
And the most critical of them is the task given by Illian to Anson, he must complete the review task and be promoted to the bronze medal, otherwise he will be sent to the black prison by Illian.
Just as Anson was thinking about it, he didn't know what he should do, when lightning slashed from the top of Liliga's head, who was concentrating on the battle.
"Liliga. ”
Lucis, who sensed that something was wrong, subconsciously looked back at Liliga, and he happened to see the scene of lightning falling.
At the last moment, Anson struck in an instant, and he teleported to Liliga's side, swinging his sword at the falling lightning.
"[Instant Rebound]"
When the sword in Anson's hand collided with the lightning, the lightning directly changed direction and flew towards the goblin wizard hiding in the shadows of the woods.
Seeing the lightning flying towards him, the Goblin Wizard hurriedly hid in the woods to avoid the lightning that was bounced back.
And this momentary distraction caused Lucis and Wendy, who were in front, to be injured by the goblin attack, but both of them reacted quickly, hurriedly retreated a few steps back, and regrouped.
At this time, Anson's face was gloomy and terrifying, and Lilijia, who had escaped in front of him, was so frightened that she couldn't even speak when she saw Anson's face.
Anson was angry, but not to the goblin wizard, but to himself, because his momentary hesitation almost killed Liliga, and Lucis and Wendy were also injured because of this, Anson unconsciously exuded a strong killing intent.
Anson's killing intent instantly made everyone present fall into an ice cave, and those goblins sat directly on the ground.
Anson walked to the front of the team silently, and Lucis and the others behind him didn't even dare to move when they looked at Anson's back.
"[Mind Split]"
"[Intelligence Enhancement]"
"[Intelligence Super Enhancement]"
"[Magic Enhancement, Magic Duet, Annihilation of Dragon Thunder]"
Anson raised his hands forward, and four magic arrays with a diameter of five meters instantly appeared in front of him, only to see a burst of electricity surging on the magic array, and then in each magic array, a thunder pillar shaped like a dragon rushed out and flew into the distance.
The goblins that were paralyzed on the ground in front of Anson were instantly blasted by the dragon thunder, and the goblin wizard who fled into the distance was also not spared.
The dragon thunder rushed out of the woods until it hit a mountain in the distance, only to hear a loud bang, the mountain was half blown up in an instant, and the forest where Anson and them were was also miserable.
The Lucis behind Anson looked at everything in front of him, and they were shocked beyond measure, especially Lucis, who had been mocking Anson, at this time he fully understood how stupid he was.
"Oops, I didn't control myself. ”
Anson turned around, scratched his head and grinned at Lucis and the others, and Lucis and the others also relaxed at this time and sat directly on the ground.
"Brother Anson's appearance just now is so scary. ”
Marumawell sat on the ground and said with a smile at Anson.
"Brother Anson, it's so powerful, it's the first time I've seen such a powerful magic. ”
At this time, Lilijia also relieved herself, and looked at Anson with little stars in her eyes.
"Brother Anson, what is your level? ”
Wendy looked at Anson with adoration on her face and asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
"Well, secret. ”
Then the three of Lilijia kept asking Anson all kinds of questions, but Lucis kept his head down and was silent.
Because at this time, his self-esteem has been completely shattered.
"Lucis. ”
Anson, who noticed that Lucis was not quite right, came to Lucis's side, put his hand on Lucis's shoulder, and smiled sheepishly at Lucis.
"Hey, dead imp, don't you think I'm particularly majestic now? ”
"Smack. ”
Seeing Anson's appearance, Lucis shook off Anson's hand on his shoulder.
"Uncle Waste, you wait for me, sooner or later I will become a brave man, just like Lord Morpheus, and then defeat you. ”
Lucis said loudly at Anson with resolute eyes in his eyes.
"That's embarrassing, Morpheus, he couldn't beat me all the time. ”
After Anson finished speaking, the four Lucis froze there as if they were petrified.
"Hey~. ”
