Act 125 An Identity
At that moment—
Luo Hao only saw the silver blossom under the sword, passing through the neck of the skeletal giant—the female swordsman slashed a turn in mid-air as light as a swallow, and landed behind the giant. The massive headless skeleton was slowly falling behind her, kicking up a cloud of dust and gradually dispersing.
Sophie then got up and patted the dust on her shoulders, and put her sword back in the sheath.
Luo Hao opened his mouth and was about to ask, but suddenly another scream came, this time closer, only a few streets away, and the scream made everyone can't help but bend down and cover their ears. The tremors almost set off a wave of air that swept the streets with smoke and dust.
Sophie, Akane, and the instructor among the military recruits reacted the fastest, and immediately looked back to the south, only to hear a loud bang, and in the eyes of everyone, a shadow rose to the sky, with a flurry of rubble and building debris, as if for a time obscuring the sun's rays.
Darken the sky.
Fang Yuan's reaction was only a little slower than the three of them, and when he looked up, he could already see what the shadow was—huge bony wings with the breath of death, cold runes carved on the long horns, blue fire lingering in the sunken eye sockets, and under the hollow chest, the aura of decay and decay filled the black mist—as soon as the dragon's bones spread their wings, the fear of defeat immediately penetrated into the hearts of the people of all directions.
As soon as it lowered its head, the blue flames immediately burned into the depths of everyone's hearts.
Fang Yuan's heart jumped, as if he had lost his autonomy, his hands and feet were cold, and there was only one desperate thought left - escape, how far to go.
But he hadn't forgotten the others, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Sophie and Akane, where Her Royal Highness the Silver Princess of Vislan and her companion knight were motionless, like two puppets. Fang Yuan opened his mouth to shout, but found that he could not make any sound at all, only some sizzling noises—as if he was clutching his throat for fear.
In an instant, an even sharper howl came down from the sky, drowning out all sounds.
It was the long howl of a top-level undead creature.
The scream pierced through the brain.
Fang Yu only felt that it was dark in front of him, as if the blood was pouring into his brain, obscuring his vision; It was as if his brain had been hit with a hammer, and there was a scream in his ears, like a thousand resentful spirits screaming in unison, stabbing him so that his eyes could not help but roll, and the fear that permeated his heart almost pressed against his shoulder to make him kneel.
And others are even more unbearable.
The fat man was already sitting on the ground, the citizens were staggering, and the women and children were screaming in unison, as if the end of the world had come.
But at this moment, Fang Yu saw a ray of light seeping into his pitch-black vision, it was like a small hand, tearing through the darkness - let him see a beam of red light, like a blood-red vertical drill straight down from the clouds, instantly piercing through the chest and abdomen of the bone dragon.
It was a blood-colored spear that crossed the heavens and the earth—
One vertical down, passing straight over the body of the bone dragon. And at this moment, Fang Yu felt that the feeling of suffocation subsided, he gasped as if he had come to life, and the darkness in front of him also dissipated left and right - he raised his head and looked at the sky, the city's defense mechanism was slowly running.
Three blood-red magic circles unfolded, and three beams of red light staggered down, each of which accurately pierced the black mist that lingered around the bone dragon.
Fang Yu only then discovered that the bone dragon was not as intact as he imagined, the huge bone wings were actually scarred, missing a horn, a claw, and the ribs on his body were also broken - this undead creature standing at the peak of Aitalia's power had no power to resist under Van Rick's alchemy array.
It flew into the sky again and again, but it was only shot down by the red light again and again.
When the last red light falls in the sky—
Blood-colored pillars of light pierced through the skull.
The undead dragon let out a terrible scream, and its huge body exploded in mid-air, and between the scattered black mist, countless winged undead creatures were flying out, and they were flying towards the four blocks like a rain of arrows.
The dragon's remaining skeleton, like a kite with a broken string, then fell to the southwest of the city.
"Ed, it's coming from the direction of Jackdaw Street!" Sophie's voice was a little apprehensive and a little eager.
Fang Yu looked at the monsters flying in the sky and nodded slowly.
"We used to-"
It was an undead vulture that obscured the sky.
"I'll protect you." Sophie proposed.
"No, you're left and I'm right," Fang Yuan's eyes were reflecting dense black dots: "Lure them away." ”
Sophie glanced back at him.
Fang Yu also responded with a serious gaze: "I can solve it." ”
Her Royal Highness the Silver Vislan Princess nodded, she turned her head and looked ahead, and as soon as she pressed the hilt of her sword, it immediately turned into a silver flower.
Accompanied by a cyan light—like a companion star on the side of the main star—two rays of light pierced like sharp swords into the mighty black tide, and everywhere they passed, the undead vultures all broke their wings and fell like rain. Although there were many of them, they screamed around the two of them, but the two rays of light only made a turn along the wall on one side of the building, and they easily broke through.
Sophie and Akane rise and fall over the roof of the building and leap into another block.
Fang Yuan's gaze was at this point, and he withdrew his gaze.
He raised his head, and the dense black dots in mid-air were climbing to a high point, and then turned in his direction—
And in the back of the eye, the military elector is running in this direction: "You guys, wait......"
"It's not safe to the south," the instructor shouted, "you'd better get out of this place with us......!" ”
"Please take the others away."
Fang Yu glanced at the other party and replied.
He has his purpose, the south is what he must go, whether it is the real threat of the Dragon Worship Cult or the situation at the moment, everything needs an answer.
He adjusted the pride of the lone king in his hand with a 'click', gently shook the pitch-black dragon's claws, and walked forward. At the same time, the left hand unbuttoned the brass button of the trench coat on his chest, and pulled it back hard, and the trench coat 'clattered' like a banner unfolded - with a scream, a vulture covered it, and then dragged the trench coat out and hit his head on the nearby rocks, rolling and flying far away.
The instructor was almost stunned when he looked at this scene, how calm is this person? But he didn't know that this scene had long been commonplace for Fang Yu.
How does it compare to Fenris's underground?
It's just not worth mentioning.
Fang Plover raised his left hand and aimed at the roof on one side. The instructor reacted at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Wait a minute, which guild are you from?" ”
Fang Yu paused for a moment before he replied, "Seven Seas Brigade." With a soft thud, long cords were shooting out of his hands, passing through the blackened undead birds, and the undead vultures screamed and flew away, but immediately regrouped.
Fang Yu tilted his head, looked at this scene and judged for a moment, before raising his right hand and swiping lightly from left to right.
A white light exploded in the direction of his hand.
"Screaming Banshee!"
"Concussion Bomb!"
Not far away, Luo Hao had caught those few subtle shuttles in the dark shadows for the first time, but compared to this, he looked at Fang Yuan's back, and at that moment it was like a lightning bolt in his mind.
Suddenly, his mouth opened wide, and the image flashed through his mind—
The boy in the elven ruins, giving the middle finger to the descendants of Flore.
There is also the figure who is above the continental league, and the cloud breeze walks off the field lightly.
The two shadows overlapped each other, overlapping the back in front of him......
And after the white light of the concussion bomb, the situation on the battlefield changed.
For a low-level undead like the undead vulture, the concussion bomb can almost produce a full immobilization effect, although it is only a few seconds, but it is enough to make it fall from the sky in pieces, even if a few fish slip through the net, it will not hurt Fang Yuan's future plan.
The latter is looking up.
Several huge cavities immediately appeared in the black-pressed undead birds, and although they were closing at a speed visible to the naked eye, they were enough.
The fleeting opportunity is being produced in Fang Yuan's eyes.
In the eyes of the instructor on the side, he only saw the latter fly up, take up and fall from several buildings with the help of a flying cable, and soon passed through the net of undead vultures and crossed the street to the other side—but the matter was far from over, and he saw Fang Ou turn around and look up at the sky.
The other party made a strange move by pressing one hand to the position of the centripetal mouth. And suddenly, the instructor felt a tightness in his heart, as if an invisible force swept through the spiritual world, and the heavy sense of oppression was almost breathless. It was as if he was in the middle of a dark abyss—
It was endless pitch black, with only two golden pupils staring at him condescendingly.
The instructor subconsciously took a step back, and the illusion in front of him was gone, and it was still the same street as before, but he was surprised to see that the undead vultures were densely packed in mid-air, and they didn't know what was happening, they all turned around and flew to the other side of the street, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
He paused for a moment to look over there, only to find that the young alchemist had disappeared without a trace.
Only then did he realize that it should be the young man who used some means to lure these undead vultures over. And the illusion I saw earlier should have been the handiwork of the other party - but is this magic, alchemy, magic or some other power?
The instructor suddenly realized that he had never heard of a similar power.
"Seven Seas Brigade?"
He muttered the name, wondering if he had ever heard of such a guild, but it was at least not one of the top ten guilds, just a first-tier guild? Or the emerging second-tier guild of Aitalia?
But he immediately came back to his senses and realized that this was not a place to stay for a long time - the citizens who had been rescued before had to be sent to a safe place first - so he turned around, only to find that Luo Hao in the team was standing behind him with a shocked face, stammering and pointing to the other side of the street:
"Instructor, that's—that'......"
The instructor looked at Luo Hao's appearance and thought that the other party was just surprised by the previous scene, so he nodded and said, "The other party has found a way to lure the monster away, so we must seize the time that others have bought for us and bring the citizens to a safe place." ”
"No, instructor," Luo Hao hurriedly shook his head, but his language was inevitably a little confused in a hurry: "It's that person!" ”
"That person?"
"That's it...... Continental League ......" Luo Hao didn't know how to describe this matter for a while, "But his level shouldn't be so high, there is a problem with this......"
The instructor couldn't help but get a little angry: "What level shouldn't be so high?" Who are you talking about? Luo Hao, are you unable to speak clearly? ”
The fat man was so frightened that he shook his fat all over his body, and hurriedly replied, "No, no, instructor." ”
"Why do you say no?" The instructor said loudly: "What the hell is going on, can you explain it clearly?" ”
"Yes, Instructor."
After Luo Hao was taken aback, he finally calmed down and grasped the key to the problem.
He took a breath before replying in a whisper:
"It's the goal, instructor."
"Target?"
The instructor was stunned for a moment.
Luo Hao nodded lightly and whispered something in his ear.
When the latter heard this, he immediately froze on the spot.
……
When the last undead vulture also fell heavily to the ground—
It flapped its wings twice weakly, and then the phosphorus fire in its eye sockets quickly faded, turning into a real white bone, motionless. However, more than that, soon a faint black mist rose from the bones again, as if melting in the sun, and the whole skeleton was gradually fading.
A faint black smoke rose and disappeared completely when a gust of wind blew.
Fang Yu watched this scene quietly.
It seemed that after the last of the skullsaur's power was completely gone, the undead vultures born from the dark aura of its corpse finally died—and not only that, but there were no other undead creatures around it for a long time, and the neighborhood was silent.
He looked up, and the sky above him was clear again, leaving only a clear blue - and the city's defenses seemed to be closing, the semi-arc dome was disappearing little by little, and the crimson circle above it was long gone. It's just that above the spire of Alffindor, there are many small black dots flying out at this moment:
It was the Wyvern Knight of the City Guard, and of course there were also the battle craftsmen of the Southern Alchemist Guild.
Fang Yu also heard a sharp whistle coming from a few nearby blocks, it should be the city guard or patrol cavalry blowing the whistle, the other party should be rushing in this direction—because of the city's Misty Lock Enchantment, it should be clear where the bone dragon appeared before.
Although it was unclear whether the current chaos was related to the official, Fang Yu suddenly realized that he had to hurry up and find clues before the other party reached the target.
It's just that the surrounding streets are empty at the moment, and he is a little surprised, so it stands to reason that there should have been adventurers who arrived at this place first. However, Fang Yu thought for a moment and reacted: he should have been the only one who saw the bone dragon fall to the southwest.
It was one of the top monsters in Aitalia, and even though it was killed by the city's defenses, there were still many precious things on the wreckage, so those adventurers should go in that direction.
It was a bonus.
He walked through an alley, and not far in front of him was Jackdaw Street.
It was only when he walked out that Fang Yu was taken aback - this place looked like a street, it was almost like a battlefield, and most of the buildings on both sides had collapsed. Not only the bone dragon, but also the huge scars left by the previous rays of red light.
The powerful magic melted everything, causing a layer of high-temperature crystals to form on the ground of the street, ploughing from one end of the street to the other, dozens of meters long, surrounded by potholes, leaving countless potholes on both sides. Even the embers were not extinguished, and white smoke was still billowing from them.
However, the building on the left side of the street is apparently relatively well preserved, and the internal structure has not suffered much damage except for the complete collapse of one wall. As soon as Fang Yu looked at the huge paw prints left on the wall, he roughly guessed that the bone dragon must have descended from the sky and flew from one end of the street to the other.
The entire wall and roof were lifted.
He restored the situation a little, and it was not difficult to deduce the position where the bone dragon swooped down at that time.
Fang Yu subconsciously looked in that direction, and sure enough, he saw a broken, lonely three-story stone building standing on the side of the street - the apartment should be the first attack point of the bone dragon, and the damage was also the most serious, not only the roof and exterior walls, but almost two-thirds of the building structure disappeared.
There was also the wreckage of a carriage beneath the apartment, but it was charred and corroded, and two horse corpses were lying on the ground, next to which was a curled human skeleton.
Fang Yu compared the location that Sophie had pointed out to him on the map, and immediately realized that this apartment was where the official had stayed.
When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and immediately realized that his premonition had become a reality.
It's just that he was about to walk over to check it, but he heard a noise of 'bang', and the wall on one side actually collapsed. I saw a maid lady with an indifferent face, dragging the unconscious Baggins out from behind the wall.
Fang Yu couldn't help but be startled when he saw this scene, and then remembered what Sylvid had said before—he had almost forgotten that Shesta and Baggins had been in this place before. It's just that if the two of them have been here all along, haven't they experienced the previous battle?
He couldn't help but ask, "Shesta, Mr. Baggins?" ”
The maid shook her head slightly, indicating that it was fine.
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What happened before?" Miss Shesta, do you see the target? ”
Shesta only shook her head again.
Then she told Fang Yu that the two had just arrived at this place when they saw the bone dragon descend from the sky and attack the apartment. She sensed something was wrong and immediately dragged Baggins into a nearby pottery workshop.
As for what happened after that, I don't know anything.
However, these words at least reproduced the situation for Fang Yu at that time, and it seemed that the other party's first target was indeed as he expected, which was aimed at the official. It's just that Fang Yu frowned, he didn't expect that he was still a step late, but who was the attacker? Is it the Worship of the Dragons? Is this murderous?
Fang Yu couldn't be sure for a while, but this time the Dragon Worship Sect's style of acting was too high-profile, and in front of the public, the bone dragon was used to attack the city in the middle of the city, and even inspired Van Rick's self-protection mechanism.
It's a big enough fuss—
The last time Van Rik turned on the city's defense mechanism was probably more than ten years ago during the Battle of Byrne.
And what is the other party so high-profile? Is it to warn some people?
He was also suspicious for a while.
But after thinking for a while, Fang Yuan felt that he couldn't think about it here, and the time was pressing, so he said to the maid lady on the side: "You take a good look at Mr. Baggins first, Shesta, I'll go up there alone." ”
"Wait." But the maid stopped her rarely.
Fang Yu turned around in surprise.
"Be careful," replied the maid faintly, "you owe the eldest lady a promise." ”
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded to the other party seriously.
