Chapter 17: The Ascetic Swordsman

"Target: Level 15 Ordinary Rank Demonized Creature Blood Lion Death."

"Absorb the power of the target's soul and gain 2,000 experience."

“......”

The Blood Lion only exploded a few silver coins, and Wu Qi waved away the cracked, crumbling "Dark Fire Guardian", and leaned over to pick up the silver coins from the blood stains.

Experience points are average...... Opening the virtual notepad and recording the general situation of the blood lion, Wu Qi did not continue to stay here.

He cautiously bypassed the pack of blood lions, and approached the fortress along the overgrown streets that stretched from the city gates.

Along the way, it seemed to be surrounded by a colony of blood lions, either occupying abandoned houses or curling up among the lush bushes. Fortunately, the main significance of the Eternal Night Fortress is to be used for warfare, so the buildings are sparse and the streets are wide and extend in all directions, allowing Wu Qi to notice the existence of the Blood Lion in advance and thus avoid the past.

After walking along the street for a while, Wu Qi could not smell the faint, long-lasting smell of blood in the air, and he no longer saw the trace of the blood lion.

The Eternal Night Fortress has been built many times during the period of Marshal Wells, and they have been repeatedly expanded and repaired around the perimeter of the original building of the Eternal Night Fortress, which has also caused the Eternal Night Fortress to have a more unique inverted "product" shape.

Wu Qi entered from the north gate of the Eternal Night Fortress, and the area where it was located was the military reserve area of the fortress, where warehouses, stables and other reserve facilities were built, and they were distributed in the area that Wu Qi simply marked as the "North District". Of course, as one of the top five fortresses in the Hobert Kingdom, the Eternal Night Fortress naturally has no shortage of tall magic towers. Wu Qi raised his eyes and could see those minaret buildings about five feet high, even if the years eroded, they still showed a misty light.

The magic tower is a necessary building for every high-level fortress, the archmages have been fighting for a day, the mana is exhausted, in order not to affect the next day's battle, you need to meditate in the magic tower for a night, and the next day it will recover naturally.

Of course, the role of the magic tower is far from this, depending on the quality of the magic tower, mages can also learn skills of different quality in it, which is deeply favored by mages.

These magic tower buildings are generally higher than the surrounding low buildings, so under the gray sky, through the faint light emitted by the magic tower, it is not difficult for Wu Qi to find the location of the magic tower.

The Magic Tower is located in the easterly part of the northern part of the Eternal Night Fortress, and the three magic towers are in the shape of a pin, occupying a wide open space. Now in the clearing, "swordsmen" in black armor wandered around, either in groups of three or two, or alone, and they were scattered in different places in the clearing.

It is said that it is very small, but in the extremely open space, the number has reached a point that is difficult to underestimate.

Wu Qi observed for a while and found an interesting phenomenon, they either wandered around aimlessly, or sat cross-legged on the ground and closed their eyes to recuperate, but every less than three minutes, they would set their eyes on the magic tower. And how these "swordsmen" wander around, they are always in a narrow area around them, in other words, they seem to follow some kind of "rules", with the magic tower as the center, layer by layer, and the hierarchy is strict.

What is there in the magic tower that attracts them...... Wu Qi thought silently, and with the principle of rigorous investigation, he decided to invite two monsters to try his hand.

Whether it is because they are afraid of each other, or for other reasons, there is a long distance between these "swordsmen" and "swordsmen". But no matter what the reason, it has now become Wu Qi's reliance.

Wu Qi's eyes fell on a lone "swordsman", and from a distance, Wu Qi threw an insight skill over.

Ascetic Swordsman: A level 15 elite creature

HP: 60000/60000

Skill:???

......

Normal Elite Monster ...... Wu Qi showed a somewhat cautious expression, this is the outermost ascetic swordsman, he is already an ordinary elite monster, the closest to the magic tower, isn't it......

Wu Qi shook his head, and at the same time as he threw out the insight skill, he had already attracted the attention of the ascetic swordsman. Now it's better to cheer up and deal with the ascetic swordsman in front of you.

Burning Hands!

The azure flames erupted at the top of Wu Qi's staff, and the flame element condensed into a claw, landing on the ascetic swordsman who slowly locked on the Yan mage not far away!

Call...... The moment the azure flame attached to the ascetic swordsman, the fire suddenly became a little bigger, and the delicate burning hand was also a little bigger, and the light purple rose and fell in the flames.

-1320! The tall scarlet damage figure rose from the top of the ascetic swordsman's head, and the ascetic swordsman, who was about to stand up, was firmly imprisoned in place, holding the sword in his position.

This is...... Wu Qi, who noticed the abnormality, moved in his heart and remembered the description in his attribute bar.

Bloodline Talent Skill 1:

Demon Breaker: Passive skill, because the player Jin Song was in a state of confrontation with dark creatures for a long time, his own bloodline was adjusted. Increases spell damage by +50% against dark creatures.

Spell damage is roughly increased by 50%, but I didn't expect that the Demon Breaking talent will also have a significant increase in the effect of skills......

Wu Qi could see clearly that although the original Burning Hand had the effect of imprisoning for one second, it would be affected by many factors, and the effect was average, and it was impossible to directly "fix" the ascetic swordsman like now!

It turns out that the ascetic swordsman belongs to the dark system...... So what is there inside the magic tower that will attract them......

The ascetic swordsman recovered from the confinement effect at this time, he slowly stood up straight, the armor as black as ink glowed slightly, and the rich dark element came out from the armor, and soon encircled the ascetic swordsman, and also the wide sword in the ascetic swordsman's hand!

Just as Wu Qi was surprised by this sudden change, the ascetic swordsman's eyes were blazing, staring at Wu Qi, his eyes were rich in blood red, and he still seeped out through the black mist.

"Outsider, you trampled on the peace here!" The ascetic swordsman roared in a low voice, and the big sword with a rich dark aura was held in his hand, and without waiting for Wu Qi to speak, the ascetic swordsman's body moved, and he rushed straight towards Wu Qi.

Charge!

Nima! It's so fast! Wu Qi's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly turned on the "Fengxing" skill on the leggings equipment, and his movement speed increased.

Stomp, stomp!

Wu Qi stepped lightly, his body dodged again and again, dodging the charge of the ascetic swordsmen, no matter who these ascetic swordsmen were in their lifetime, the dark power had eroded their sanity, and their combat skills were long since they were inferior to before.

Burning Hands! Touch of the Flame! Small fireballs! Fire Emblem!

Wu Qi took a light breath, eliminated the distracting thoughts in his heart, stabilized his mind, and concentrated on chanting the incantation.
