Chapter 19: Death
On the way to escape from the area on the first floor with Ning Wushuang and the others, Rena told Ning Wushuang about what happened to the team at that time.
It turned out that Rena's team had not discovered the hidden secret door on the wall as Ning Wushuang had done at the beginning. The two-headed demon dog guarding the secret door sneaks up on Rebecca, who is close to the wall, and drags Rebecca inside. Rena rushed in in a hurry, but there were two skeleton soldiers in the secret door, one skeleton soldier snatched Rena's weapon, and the other used a knife to threaten Rui and Haus, who were rushing to support, with a knife on Rena's neck.
Hearing the news, the demon leader Skeleton Mage ordered Rui and Haus to lay down their weapons and all the items on them, otherwise they would kill Rena. Rena told the two to run away quickly, but how could the two leave their companions and run away alone? After Rui and Haus put down all their belongings, the demon leader used the "Corrosive Finger" on the defenseless two, causing them to be poisoned.
Seeing the two of them fall to the ground, Rena frantically broke free from the skeleton soldiers and pounced on the demon leader. Another skeleton soldier hurriedly raised his knife and looked at Rena, protecting the skeleton mage.
Just as the knife was about to cut Rena, Rebecca, who was covering the wound on her leg on the ground and crying in pain, stood up and pounced on Rena and protected her in front of Rena.
The skeleton soldier's knife slashed at Rebecca's shoulder, and if Rebecca hadn't been ordered to take off her equipment like Rui and Hauss who had fallen to the ground, Rebecca would have been killed.
The injured Rebecca lies in Rena's arms, and looking at the shocking knife wound on Rebecca's shoulder, Rena's heart is like a knife. Rena randomly and secretly took out the only "escape scroll" that was only the size of a palm from the storage ring and stuffed it into Rebecca's palm, and said in Rebecca's ear in a commanding tone: "Rebecca, hurry back to the Adventurer's Guild to find someone to rescue." ”
Rebecca refused to use it, shook her head and whispered: "Captain, use it, the captain is not injured, and he can go back to find someone to rescue sooner." ”
Although Rebecca's injury is not fatal for the time being, Rena knows that no matter how long the wound is, Rebecca will not last long before she will lose too much blood and die. If Rebecca was left here, it would be impossible to expect the demons to heal her, and that would be a dead end.
Rena pleaded, "Let's go, Rebecca, if you delay any longer, Rui and Haus won't be able to hold it up." ”
Looking at the two fallen companions on the ground, Rebecca finally took the "escape scroll". Before the skeleton mage could stop it, Rebecca used the "escape scroll" to leave the ruins.
——
"Escape scrolls?" Ning Wushuang wondered.
Sophia explained to Ning Wushuang: "You can use the escape scroll to randomly teleport to a place within 10 kilometers, but you can't use it where you have a space prohibition, and it's quite expensive. ”
"How much?"
"100,000 Lut."
“...”
"Be careful!" Rena, who was walking in front, suddenly hugged the three children and fell down and shouted.
"Pong"
A laser-like magic bolt struck the guardrail of the staircase. At this time, the place where it was hit was "sizzling" white smoke, and the smell was very pungent.
"Is this the Finger of Corrosion?" Ning Wushuang asked.
Rena picked up the three children and walked forward, nodded and said, "Yes, be careful. Hit the corpse poison in the meeting. ”
Spotting someone on the other side of the staircase running away with a sacrifice, the skeleton mage was furious and immediately used a "corrosive finger". The lack of a hit made it angrily yell at the demon soldiers who were still breaking through the staircase, pointing at Ning Wushuang and the others, "Capture that group of sacrifices for me!" ”
As a result, half of the demon soldiers rushed towards Ning Wushuang and his party.
"Let's go!" Ning Wushuang finished urging, handed Haus over to Rui, and fended off the skeleton soldiers rushing from the rear alone.
The skeleton soldiers rushed towards Ning Wushuang with their swords in their hands like a tidal wave.
"Shield Wall"
Ning Wushuang stood at the top of the stairs and unfurled the shield wall, using all his strength to block the pursuit of the skeleton soldiers. The skeleton soldiers in the front row frantically attacked the wall of mana, but in the state of Ning Wushuang's full mana, the shield wall stood tall.
"Shuang'er, come on!"
"Come on!"
Ning Wushuang turned his head. At this time, Zou Haoyun and the three of them had already joined Sophia and the others, and were standing at the entrance of the spiral staircase to resist the demon soldiers. Many demon soldiers have fallen in the corridor, and the four-headed two-headed demon dog has long been out of human form, but the other party is still in an absolute advantage in numbers. Even if you don't count the skeleton mage, it is estimated that the remaining trash fish will be difficult to completely clean up, and it is obvious that it is the best plan to escape quickly.
"Ahh
Ning Wushuang shouted with all his strength, pushing the shield wall to push the skeleton soldiers on the stairs.
"Knock knock."
Several skeleton soldiers in the front row lost their center of gravity and rolled backwards one after another under the impetus of Ning Wushuang's sudden force. The demon soldiers in the back row were also pushed one after another.
Ning Wushuang seized the opportunity to retract the shield wall and ran as hard as he could in the direction of everyone.
However, as soon as Ning Wushuang turned around, a black shadow had already flown past him, aiming directly at the people who had spoken.
"Instant Slash!"
Fortunately, Ning Wushuang reacted in time and immediately used an instant slash against the black shadow.
"Boom"
The instant slash was blocked.
The skeleton mage held his staff to resist Ning Wushuang's hard blow.
"Hurry up! Leave me alone. ”
Seeing this, Yu Feng was about to rush to support Ning Wushuang.
"Don't come here! Take them away!! ”
Yu Feng stopped, gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted to the people who were reluctant to leave: "Did you hear that!" Let's go! ”
Sophia still didn't want to leave, looking at Ning Wushuang who was dealing with the skeleton mage alone, tears were already rolling in her eyes.
Qian Zilai beside him hurriedly said, "Hurry up, Sophia, believe him." ”
Sophia said uncomfortably, "But..."
Zou Haoyun also hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, he is the captain and has great ability." Besides, with my good fortune covering him, it's fine. ”
At this time, the skeleton mage hissed to the demon soldiers, "Give me all to catch them!" Don't let any of them go! ”
Then, looking at Ning Wushuang in front of him, he said coldly: "Leave this ignorant and weak human being to me, and let me give you the mercy that you can't live for." ”
With that, the Skeleton Mage raised his other hand and pointed at Ning Wushuang.
"Corrosive Finger"
Ning Wushuang shouted in his heart that something was wrong, and quickly jumped backwards, blocking him with his shield and sword.
"Pong"
The sword was pierced by the Corrupted Finger, and the small hole in the gap was quickly corroded into a large hole, and then the entire sword was cut off at the waist.
"Brother Wushuang!"
The crowd at the entrance was still entangled, and Ning Wushuang shouted again: "What are you doing!" Hurry up and let me go! ”
Seeing that Ning Wushuang was fine, everyone temporarily put their minds at ease.
Yu Feng kicked the several skeleton soldiers in front of him into the air, pushed the hesitant people towards the spiral staircase, and said, "If you don't leave, everyone will be here, don't let Wushuang's current efforts be in vain." ”
Qian Zilai also comforted Sophia: "Hurry up and find someone to help after you go out, we can't deal with the entire demon army alone." ”
Sophia wiped away her tears, nodded silently, picked up the three children and ran to the exit of the ruins with Rena and the others.
After seeing everyone leave, Ning Wushuang gasped and stared at the skeleton mage.
"Do you think they'll run away? Ignorance, your death will be meaningless. The two dark eyes of the skeleton mage were like an endless abyss, staring at Ning Wushuang.
Ning Wushuang was unmoved, threw away the broken sword, picked up the short sword of the skeleton warrior's corpse next to him, and said slowly: "Let them go, I just don't want them to see my cruel side." ”
The skeleton mage could obviously also hear that Ning Wushuang was just being strong, and said with a smile: "Haha, hahaha." Come, let me see what the cruelty of an ant looks like. ”
As soon as Ning Wu's palms flipped over with both hands, a bottle of potion appeared, a primary strength amplification potion. Ning Wushuang quickly poured the potion, and his physical strength seemed to have a steady stream of power pouring out.
The Skeleton Mage smiled contemptuously and said, "A bottle of potion alone can't make up the gap between me and you. With that, he raised his staff in front of Ning Wushuang, and a green magic array appeared in front of the staff.
"Rain of Bone Spurs"
"Whoosh"
Countless finger-sized bone spurs burst out from the magic array, hitting Ning Wushuang like rain.
"Swift"
Ning Wushuang hurriedly turned on the swift increase speed to dodge the attack.
"Oh? Is your cruelty about evasion? ”
Ning Wushuang gasped when he saw the bone spurs that were deeply nailed to the floor, if he fell for this trick, he was afraid that even if he was wearing chain mail, he would be pierced into a hornet's nest.
"Corrosive Finger"
The skeleton mage predicted Ning Wushuang's next step and decisively launched the Corrupting Finger.
"It's too late to dodge."
Ning Wushuang knew that he had been figured out by the skeleton mage, and he was too late to dodge at this time.
"Shield Wall"
Ning Wushuang hurriedly cast a shield wall to resist the attack.
"Zi~"
Unexpectedly, this corrosive finger can even corrode the wall generated by magic power, if the distance is closer, this trick is estimated to really be able to penetrate the shield wall.
"Hmph, boring."
The skeleton mage was tired of Ning Wushuang, who had been dodging defenses, and put away his magic skills.
Ning Wushuang didn't know what the skeleton mage was trying to do, and he looked at it vigilantly with his sword in his hand.
"Die!"
As soon as the words fell, the skeleton mage actually rushed straight towards Ning Wushuang.
"A mage actually came over and fought me in melee combat?" Ning Wushuang couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't think about it anymore, so he could only take advantage of the fact that the effects of the power amplification potion and swiftness skills had not disappeared and launched an attack on the skeleton mage.
"Instant Slash"
When the skeleton mage entered the attack range, Ning Wushuang decisively took the lead in attacking.
However, the moment Ning Wushuang launched the Instant Slash, the Skeleton Mage laughed hideously.
"Haha, ignorant human."
"Claws of Death"
I saw the skeleton mage raise his staff high, and a green magic array regenerated on the top of the staff. The difference was that this time it didn't come out with a bone spur like a rainstorm, but a huge white bone claw stretched out. The skeleton mage raised his huge white bone claws and swung them down in front of him.
The sudden attack made Ning Wushuang not even have a chance to open the shield wall, and could only block the sword that was about to be swung out in front of his chest together with the shield again.
"Bang"
The strong impact caused Ning Wushuang to fly upside down, and when he was in the air, a large mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth.
Ning Wushuang struggled to crawl off the ground, and the sharp pain in his chest made him have to cover it with his hands. The sword and shield were already tattered under the powerful blow of the skeleton mage, the shield was directly grabbed into three parts, and the hands holding the sword and shield were also shattered.
"Gollum, Gollum."
Now was not the time to save medicine, Ning Wushuang hurriedly drank a bottle of healing potion and magic tonic potion, and picked up a short sword from the corpse next to him.
The Skeleton Mage looked at Ning Wushuang again with interest and said, "Oh? It's quite hard, and it actually blocked my blow. But... Useless! ”
As soon as the words fell, the skeleton mage rushed towards Ning Wushuang at full speed again, not giving Ning Wushuang a chance to breathe.
The huge white bone claws reappeared, and Ning Wushuang ignored the sharp pain from the tiger's mouth, and held the short sword tightly with both hands to fight back.
"Ahh Slash! ”
Ning Wushuang used all his strength, gave up his defenses, and slashed at the skeleton mage's head.
"Die, ant!"
The skeleton mage completely ignored Ning Wushuang's attack, as if confident that Ning Wushuang's attack could not pose a threat to him, and the huge bone claw swung down violently. There was a fierce collision between the two sides.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
Ning Wushuang flew out upside down again, and three shocking wounds appeared on his body, and blood splattered out from the wounds, spilling in the air.
"Poof, wow."
Ning Wushuang spat out another mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. After falling to the ground, Ning Wushuang wanted to take out the healing potion from the storage ring, but at this time, his injuries were so serious that he couldn't move at all.
The skeleton mage who was cut off in the head only had a small crack on his skull, and at this time, he was slowly walking towards Ning Wushuang, who had fallen to the ground.
"Sure enough, it's not an opponent, I didn't expect to pretend to be big for the first time." Ning Wushuang said silently in his heart.
The skeleton mage didn't expect that he was actually injured by this weak human, although it was not a serious injury, but the skeleton mage still felt extremely angry, and was actually shaken by the ants.
The skeleton mage walked slowly and looked at Ning Wushuang like a dead man and said, "Mole ant, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”
Ning Wushuang ignored what the skeleton mage said, and instead recalled those pleasant adventures with the three "immortals" and Sophia. Although there have been thrilling experiences, it is completely different from this time.
Ning Wushuang showed a smile and said silently in his heart: "I'm going to die, won't they really come back to save me?" Haha, I feel like I can salvage it. ”
Seeing that Ning Wushuang was still laughing when he was dying, the angry skeleton mage stretched out his finger to Ning Wushuang, ready to torture Ning Wushuang little by little with his corrosive finger.
However, at this very moment.
A magic circle glowing red suddenly spawned beneath the skeleton mage's feet. The skeleton mage realized that the situation was not good, and quickly withdrew his fingers and quickly left the range of the magic circle, but the moment it lifted its foot.
"Flame Array"
A pillar of fire rose from the magic circle, and the bursting flames caused the skeleton mage in the center of the magic circle to scream in pain.
"Ahh Yes!! I'm going to kill you all! Human ants! ”
Ning Wushuang struggled to open his eyes and looked at the exit on the second floor.
"Miss Rebecca!"
Ning Wushuang was pleasantly surprised to find that the person who came was actually Rebecca. At this time, although Rebey still had bandages on her shoulders, judging by her full magic, her injuries should be fine.
Rebecca was indeed the strongest output in her team, as Miss Rena said, and the skeleton mage had no chance to resist in the Burning Flame Array. However, Rebecca was not distracted and continued to maximize the output of mana to incinerate the skeleton mage. The skeleton mage finally collapsed to the ground, and his original white bones had become charred and foul-smelling, and he was completely unrecognizable.
Rebecca withdrew the Flame Array, and two more figures came at the exit, Sophia and Rena.
"Brother Wushuang!" Before Sophia walked out of the door on the second floor, Ning Wushuang had already heard her shouting. When Ning Wushuang saw the two of them, Ning Wushuang slowly closed his eyes.
"Oh, Sophia, that's great..."
"Brother Wushuang! Peerless brother! ”
When he lost consciousness, Ning Wushuang still felt Sophia running towards him while shouting her name.
Ning Wushuang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
