Chapter 158: The Last Hole Card

The red-haired man reflexively called out the other person's name.

The appearance of the Elven Demon Swordsman meant that the fierce battle with the Barlow Flame Demon had rolled back to its abyssal home, but the Burning Body Explosion ability of the Barlow Fire Demon before his "death" had smoked his skin and the delicate and elegant Dryad chain mail on his body black and dirty, and the +4 long sword in his right hand, "Norrechi's Philosophical Blade", faintly emitted a few wisps of burnt blood.

But he finally arrived in time.

The Time Stop talent provides him with a very convenient way to get on the stage. As reinforcements from the Twilight side, the blonde-haired, emerald-eyed Elven Swordsman first came to Urs's side, stretched out his hand to pull away the paranoid young man who was almost left with only one breath left, and stood in front of Dambert himself as his replacement.

Dambert has the courage to mend the sword, but he doesn't intend to use his own strength to challenge a high-level powerhouse who has awakened his soul talent like Entropy.

So he stopped what he had just been doing.

At the same time, Koto hurried to Urs's side, and when he saw that this stubborn and unyielding young man had fallen to the ground with no physical strength, the fortress shield on his left arm subconsciously stood in front of the latter, and the other hand was thrown on the hammer and bent down to support the latter, and his straight voice was so worried that he was dying.

"The fire is on the fire, my captain, brother! You're not going to die like that, are you?! You're not going to die like that! ”

Urs was paralyzed by his shoulders, and his height of more than 190 centimeters matched the size of the dwarf's stump had to be said to be a little awkward.

The regenerative nature of the reward for breaking through the 20 level of basic constitution attribute continues the young man's life little by little, supporting his efforts to maintain intermittent breathing, and if he still has extra strength, I really want to thank this dwarf companion for accompanying him to fight until now......

Thanks to him......

Then tell him to shut up.

Shut up, man, and twist your head back.

Your saliva, spittle, splashes in my face, but that doesn't speed up the healing of my injuries...... Although it touched me very much.

Urs held his eyelids weakly, holding his strength to prevent his eyes from closing under some kind of deadly hypnosis, afraid that if he closed them, he would never open them again......

Gloridon had also fainted unconscious after unleashing the previous shuttle magic missile. The old dog is still old after all, his teeth have not fallen out, but his physical fitness is long gone, and the comfort at this time is probably that the isolated crow with a venomous tongue is actually willing to lower his arrogant personality and stand beside him expressionlessly, two lightly enchanted scimitars pose defensively like a pair of wings, and the dark purple eyes are under the hood of the black robe to watch the situation that has evolved to this point.

Sana's sense of oppression was so strong that the Kasha woman with her jet-black hair smelled a sense of extreme danger from her, even when she had her back to her.

The bard's lute hung diagonally behind her waist. In the face of a spellcaster of that level, she knew that her musical spell was weak, and all she could do now was to pin her hopes on the elven swordsman named Draco.

Miss Poet is looking forward to the reinforcements on her side and the final hole cards......

Draco was not in a hurry to attack the three cultists in front of him, but only made sure that the other party did not act rashly at the first time he found out, and then carried the stone fist that had also fallen next to him to his shoulder at a very fast speed.

The spell boosts his power stat for a duration of effect. The weight of the orc warrior monk was not a problem for him, the problem at the moment was with Victedo, the dragon mage who was a real deterrent to these cultists.

What's going on over there with the lord of the castle? When will he arrive?

Nore, Lady of Knowledge, I may be able to delay these two Doomsday Apostles for a while, but I will not be able to defeat them...... The elven demon swordsman thought to himself, and the orc warrior monk on his shoulder moved back, intending to distance himself from the enemy first.

Entropy recovered from his state of shock at this moment, and the Tieflin Sword Saint took a breath of cold air, the broken sword stuck in his body and the throwing axe embedded in his arm were the shame he left in this battle, proof that a soul awakened person was forced into a desperate situation by a gang of rabble.

If it weren't for his luck, he would admit that the crowd, led by Urs, had indeed defeated him......

"Entropy-sama, your mission has been completed, just leave the rest to me and Sana-sama." Dambert smiled at the embarrassed Juggernaut and nodded his forehead respectfully to complete the succinct salute.

Sana didn't seem to blame Entropy, and the evil emblem in her hand lit up with an evil aura at her prayer, and the aura containing divine power quickly revealed into Tieflin's body, helping him quickly repair his injured body.

The healing magic can also be used in the hands of the evil priest.

Draco carefully observed the movements of the three of them, and a crack in space suddenly appeared in the huge church, and the dragon mage with extraordinary spell-casting ability finally stepped out of a portal that unfolded in front of your and Koto's eyes, and the robe of dragon runes and the long-handled staff that belonged to him burst into every pair of eyes of everyone present.

His appearance, including the brass scaled dragon headβ€”

The elven demon swordsman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and soon held the mage sword in his hand, and carried the unconscious orc warrior monk on his shoulder to move to the mage city lord with a dragon head in a human body.

Urs saw the dragon mage city lord with Koto's support, and although the memories of his previous life still remembered him, the black-haired young man couldn't help but be a little surprised when he didn't put on the tin pumpkin helmet full of funny effects.

This guy ...... So he's the head dragon?

A...... Uh, dragons with transfiguration issues? When you disguise yourself as a human, you can't change your head?

The red-haired former leader of the Red Scorpion Regiment was also surprised, but quickly hid the surprise in his heart, and pretended to be calm to show him a little mockery: "Honorable Lord of the City, it is a great honor to have the honor to witness your true appearance. ”

To be honest, after so many years of serving the Doomsday Cult, it was the first time that Victedo's true face had been seen.

That dragon's head, on the body of a human? Interesting.

There must be some strange story behind this.

"Captain Dambert, your cleverness would have brought destruction to you, if it weren't for your masters backing up your clown behind this drama." Victor glanced at the red-haired man's face, and the dragon power in his pupils was also blocked by the shield, but it still made the three people standing in the barrier have to pay high attention to his presence, "And then entropy, and Sana, my two old rivals......"

The Tieflin Sword Saint stared at the Dragon Vein Mage silently, silent, or willing to hand over the right to speak on the scene to Sana.

In that cult organization, he had a superficial equal status with Sana, but in his heart he knew very well that this evil priestess was far superior to him, at least for now......

Sana's gaze met that of the mage city lord, and she knew in her heart that since the other party had come alive, it proved that a certain spirit sucking mage who had turned against her had died.

Unhurried, with a charming smile on her beauty, she organized her response in words: "Long time no see, Victedo." Your pedantry seems to keep you unwilling to give up that lost glory, and now the thing to do is to give us the artifact, or elseβ€”"

"Otherwise, what are you trying to do, Apostle of Doom?" Viktedo interrupted her, and her voice became as unfurnished as a real dragon as she took off her helmet, "It's you, Sana, don't think that my Great Cleavage can't unravel this magic shield, even if it's not any regular type of spell, but your soul talent. ”

"Your depth of specialization in protective spells is worth mentioning, but that doesn't stop me from being at full strength." Sana replied, "Besides, the time of the Eye of the Abyss will continue for a while, and everyone in this city is now my hostage, Your Excellency. ”

"So you want to make a swap with me?" The dragon vein mage blinked, his tone was still majestic and calm, and the eyes in the dragon's eyes became sharp.

"Yes, exchange, use your city to hand over that artifact." The evil priestess kept a smile on her face as well, "Maybe your pawn doesn't know it's being used, but your plan and my perception are very clear that the artifact is right now on someone behind you." Let him hand it over and put an end to the scourge. ”

After speaking, she hinted with her eyes that she should be the mage city lord who was currently on the young man's side.

Draco stood next to him and exchanged glances. Victor glanced at the elven swordsman's claim through the eyes of his best friend's guard, then looked back at Urs and Koto out of the corner of his eye.

Due to some congenital defect, he couldn't suppress his dragon might, and at the same time, in order to guard against Sana, he didn't use his eyes to look at the young people and dwarves.

Urs felt an oppressive force rushing towards him, and immediately tried to raise his gaze a little to see Victedo with his back to him. Koto held him like a sack, his shield-wielding left hand gripping the second strap behind the shield tightly.

It is embarrassing and tragic to say, after such a vicious battle, the only team members who still have more immediate combat power are him and the two crows who are standing on the side of Gloleden with two knives in hand at the moment.

The dwarf didn't understand the message contained in Victedo's glance back at him and Urs, but he wouldn't leave his companion behind anyway.

The warriors of the clan are like this. Abandoning their comrades is a disgrace to the dwarves of the plateau, and unity is the essence and nature of this race as a whole inclined to order.

The dragon mage's gaze paused for a second on the young man and the dwarf, then turned back to face the cultists in his eyes.

"How's it going, Victor, have you figured it out? I can open the eye of the abyss, and naturally I know how to close it. Sana was patient, and then proposed, "Do you really want to kill all the civilians in this city?" They are your citizens, but you can abandon them with all your heart? ”

"This is a shameless threat! A hold on to life! Koto's eyes widened as he yelled at the woman he hated so much.

There is also the kidnapping of morality. Urs wanted to help him replenish, but he was too tired to speak for a while.

The dwarven warrior was dull-brained, but he felt that the mage city lord should indeed be on his side, although he couldn't understand why the part above the city lord's neck was a dragon's head, and the dragon head seemed to be deliberately shrunk to a size that barely fit the human body?

As for artifacts? Chessman?

What a mess? Be all abroad!

This must be the enemy's sowing of discord! The dwarven warrior decided in his heart for the time being.

The young man could understand what the other man was saying, but he could only breathe in with difficulty, and the severity of his injuries caused him to feel that every breath was torture by the flames brushing through his trachea, but this torture was a torment that he had to endure, because he was unwilling to give up hope of living no matter what.

Victor looked at the woman who was on the side of Dambert and Entropy, was silent, and after a while, a sneer broke into the corner of his mouth and responded: "Instead of worrying about my citizens, why don't you think about how that red-haired monkey of yours could have teleported you to this place?" Instead of your pre-planned rich area? ”

As he spoke, he lifted the staff in his hand and pointed it at Dambert from a short distance away from the jewel held by the dragon's claw ornament.

Dambert didn't like the nicknames that adventurers gave him, but he didn't care about this little taunt, and more than Victedo, at this time, he couldn't help but think that the teleportation technique he cast through the charged wand in his left hand was indeed to teleport himself and Sana from the underground laboratory of the Oak White Guild not long ago to the wealthy area of the city.

They were heading for the artifact.

But the reality turned out to be that some strange magical turbulence deflected the teleportation and even delayed the entire teleportation process, making it take him and the evil priestess a little more time to land in the wrong place.

Even so, they still ran into Urs and his party who were fighting with Entropy by accident.

The red-haired former red scorpion leader doesn't know if it's a coincidence or luck.

Sana thought it was the favor of the gods she served, and she knew that it would be humiliating for a third-rate spellcaster to cast a teleportation-type of magic in front of this transcendent mage who specialized in protection, because one of the essences of protection spells was spatial blockade.

She wondered if the Dragon Vein Mage City Lord who was hostile to her had done something to Dambert's teleportation technique, and then, as if she had suddenly figured out something, her charming smile suddenly revealed a little surprise and asked, "Your Excellency the City Lord of Twilight City, will you ever do anything to your city?" Like a trap in some form of magic? ”

"I don't like your overly sharp mind, Sana, it's too hard for you to deal with, and it makes me lose too many lines of the script that I had prepared." Victor admired the slight surprise on the priestess's expression and nodded in satisfaction, "As you might suppose, I did do a trivial 'job' for my city, and the nature of the work is secret, and the reward is your gaffe tonight. ”

"This is your hole card?" Sana stood within the protective range of the shield, staring at the two dragon pupils on the mage city lord's face and asked. Dambert and Entropy were alerted by her gesture to the others' actions, but did not continue to provoke active combat.

"That's my hole card." Victor didn't mind admitting, "You've wooed Ted, and I've done a little bit to my own city." Just as the Oak White Guild is half of Ted's mage tower, and Twilight is half of my mage tower, any attempt to teleport and cast spells in this area may be interfered with by me. I can't stop you from teleporting, but I can interfere with you to a great extent, as long as the magical energy fluctuations are detected by me. ”

"Well, the success of your calculations has bothered me, Victortado, though not much." Sana shrugged, but the look in her eyes showed no sign of giving up, "But your city is still under the threat of the Abyssal Demons. If you don't hand over the artifact, a catastrophe of the slaughter of the city is about to be inevitable, is this what you would like to see as the master of the city? Or do those innocent civilians have nothing to do with you, and are just pawns that can be discarded at any time? ”

"Innocent civilians have changed their taste when they come out of your mouth, ma'am...... But you don't have to care so much about my city, just as you don't have to worry about my citizens. The reason why there are no golems in the hall on the first floor of the Adventurers' Guild is because I usually hide those loyal construct guards somewhere else, and my daughter Irina knows how to find them, and has the authority to command them, ordering them to beat your precious demons to pulp one by one. ”

"Golem Army? That's a good way to deal with it, but your argument could just be a lie that misled me. Maybe you're not ready, just like Ted's choice was unexpected. ”

"Lies and truths require wisdom to judge, and time to prove themβ€”but do you dare, wicked lady? The scales of the situation are tilting in my favor, and your opportunities are gradually losing as the number of demons gradually fills the teleportation capacity of the Eye of the Abyss, and is gradually decreasing under the purge of my golem guards. ”

When these words fell, Victor took a deep breath, as if ready to announce the final negotiations, and then went on to make a so-called proposal to the other side:

"Sana, when we face off, neither you nor I are absolutely sure that we will kill each other...... So I'd suggest you just go back to your cult den. The artifact is mine, and in exchange for a real deal and a certain degree of compromise, I will not interfere with your teleportation spells as you retreat. ”

"You can deceive me and break this promise you made to your enemies." Sana didn't trust him, mercilessly poking at what might be a potential yet another round of calculations.

"Of course, it can be said in theory, but that will most likely lead to you and me fighting desperately, and the battle of our level must only go on until one side is destroyed." Victedo said again, "So think clearly, Sana. Safe? Or is it radical? The chips are heavy, and you don't want to get more than one, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of your challenge...... Dragons are never afraid of challenges, because being strong is an attitude. ”

Then he grabbed the dragon claw staff in his hand and held it at his side, and the humanoid hand deliberately pompously performed the starting finger casting of a spell.

It was a warning from the Dragon Vein Mage, the final showdown at the end of the climactic scene.

Draco knew what he had to do. The Elven Demon Swordsman was not as strong as the city lord he served, but he was still more than enough as a deputy by his side as a transcendent spellcaster.

The orc warrior monk was immediately put down by him, and the mage's sword shone sharply in his hand, and he held it forward in a swordsmanship stance.

The Tieflin Sword Master and the former Red Scorpion Leader were on guard.

Sana thought for a while, but soon, in the face of Victedo's final showdown, she also gave her own answer: "Entropy, our mission this time is over...... Dambert, use your wand and teleport us out of the city. ”

"As you wish, my lord." The red-haired man didn't have any regrets, and immediately followed the priestess's instructions, returned the hybrid greatsword in his hand to the scabbard at his waist, replaced it with another wand that had not yet consumed the day's energy, and activated another teleportation spell stored in the wand.

The aura of the teleportation array appeared within the force field barrier, under the feet of each of them.

Standing beside the old thief by the side wall of the church door, the crow breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of these extremely intractable enemies finally preparing to leave.

Her sanity was never lost. Enemies who are too strong should be left in the future to find an opportunity to defeat them, and her emotional recklessness does not match her style of action.

Therefore, she didn't say a word, and the plan was to let the other party evacuate like this, after all, a Tieflin Sword Saint who couldn't cast spells had already tossed everyone to the current state, and an enemy of that level was not the object she could safely defeat now.

Miss Poet's intellect is based on the psychology that she cares almost nothing.

Urs lay on Koto's shoulder, staring at the enemies standing in the teleportation array and disappearing little by little, and his trance-like head suddenly realized that Victedo ...... That dragon vein mage city lord really planned to just let those damn bastards run away?!

The scene as Thea fell haunted his mind like a nightmare. The young man was carried away by anger, and suddenly stretched out his hand forward uncontrollably, grabbed forward through the air, and roared weakly with blood: "Slow... Give me wait... You bastards......"

He tried to grasp it, clasped his fingers, couldn't grasp anything, he could only grit his teeth and watch the other party's figure really fade from his eyes, especially the hateful Tieflin Sword Saint was about to leave his sight like this!

Entropy carried his katana, skimming his horned head and staring at him at the last moment during the evacuation.

The anger in Urs's heart was suddenly ignited by that guy again, and he was so angry that he no longer cared about his physical condition and roared: "Wait for me!" ”

As he roared, his already fragile body was shaken, and his angry roar was immediately suffocated by the trachea, which barely maintained his breathing.

Oops......

He couldn't say it in his heart, and the vision in front of him immediately became very blurry, like a dilapidated old TV flashing white-

Consciousness was far away, and the picture in front of him instantly turned into bottomless darkness, and the overdrawn physical strength forced him to faint......

The regenerative properties protected his sleeping life to a minimum. The rest of the matter, it seems that he will only have a chance to know when he wakes up.

……
