Chapter Twenty-Three: Fierce Battle! above

There was a huge roar from the originally cold dungeon, which was the sound of Demps's sword falling on the gargoyle, which could be heard clearly even at the other end of the dungeon, which meant that at least for now, the battle between the two sides was still very fierce, and the others of the Fire Wine except for the three bronze ranks of Dictor Naros were now difficult to even get close to the battlefield, and they could not guarantee that they would come together to help and not cause trouble for the commander.

Yas also stood with the others, he looked at the oil paintings hanging on the walls not far away, the green grass and the distant mountains bathed in golden sunlight, swaying in wave after wave, the young man clutched the long sword in his hand, his heart was full of resentment for his powerlessness, not only him, but most of the mercenaries who could not participate in the battle, Demps treated the Fire and Wine mercenary group as if it were his own home, and these mercenaries were naturally his family, and they were taken care of a lot on weekdays.

And Demps in the battle did not be able to distinguish the mind of caring about his members, although the gargoyle in front of him moved slowly, but the body was too hard, every time he struck, he could feel the tremor from the sword body, this is still an enchanted long sword, if it is replaced with an ordinary steel long sword, it is estimated that it will not even be able to withstand the anti-shock force, and it will soon shatter, but in the long run, even this shimmering "night sparrow" will ......

Still covered with a little gray and white stone giant claw swept from his side, Demps's gaze froze, but the long sword in his hand did not follow closely behind to stop the attack as before, but bent his body, and drilled under the long forelimbs, although there was no prior instruction, but years of cooperation, these four people have already formed an indescribable tacit understanding, Dona smiled and waved his heavy shield, slamming it on the other claw, although the gargoyle did not feel pain, but the huge force still smashed it.

Dick wasn't so violent, but he also had his own means, his thick arm turned the giant sword sideways, and then slashed down with the sound of the howling wind, and plunged into the floor tiles of the dungeon with a thud, but it happened to be stuck in the path of the giant claw that swept by Demps's side, and the two cooperated seamlessly with Demps's surprise attack, and the gargoyle who had lost his claws at this moment still had a hard body to protect it, but it looked weak!

The situation seemed to change all at once, and before the others of the fire wine could react, they saw Demps roll and rush to the gargoyle with the empty door wide open, and the night sparrow in his hand glowed with a faint light, although far less bright than the torch in their hand, but it was full of an inspiring will.

Demps's arm was bruised, and the ghostly light of the sword was a little brighter, and he gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands

"Drink!!"

It's not a battle cry this time, it's just that after training your body as a melee class to a certain extent, you can't help but scream when your body is vigorously exercising.

The sword fell from the gargoyle's shoulder, and with a muffled thud, the gargoyle fell backwards under the sword that Demps used all his strength, causing the giant monster to shake for a while, and its body cracked again.

"Good!"

"Come on, Commander!"

The fire and wine mercenaries on the side couldn't help but cry out in excitement when they saw this scene, but because they burst out with all their strength, they temporarily lost their strength, and Demps, who was panting in place, sank in his heart.

The [Rushing Sword] just now is already his strongest trick in addition to the hole card used to fight for his life, although its foundation is only one of the skills commonly used by warriors [Power Burst], but Demps has been immersed in this basic skill for several years, and even derived his own power skills, which can suppress the burden on the body to the minimum, so that it is no longer a lose-lose move, but a skill that can be used many times, and it is with this trick that he defeated the leader of another mercenary group at the critical moment of the last Summer Night Festival, Thus became famous with fire wine.

After the festival, President Makchi of Red Rock City personally praised him for his self-created swordsmanship that had reached the level of the top of the red bronze position, and

"That's not the most important thing," he remembered as the old but still bold old man who sat under the golden throne of the Lionheart patted him on the shoulder, "and even more precious is you, Demps, that you have begun to find your way, which is something that most people can only do after reaching Silver." ”

But even so, the gargoyle, Demps gritted his teeth, squeezed out his strength from the sore muscles bit by bit, and straightened up again, the gargoyle took the blow solidly, except for a few steps backwards and some broken stone skins, it didn't seem to be much of a deal.

In the short time that Demps recovered, several other people did not stop attacking, taking advantage of the unstable gap of the gargoyle fulcrum, and the hideous monster roared and retreated, but even the other members of the fire wine who were watching the battle faintly noticed that it did seem to be a fierce fight... However, it doesn't seem to be of much use?

"Ahem, it seems that you can't take chances........."

The Night Sparrow shone a faint light again, and Demps flicked his sword with his right hand, and wrapped his left hand around the back of his neck, gently undoing the leather armor from his shoulder, and clicked, the tough Malachis lizardskin leather armor with the gray scales attached to it fell to the ground, revealing the black pine cloth underneath.

Demps, who had lost a lot of weight on his upper body, turned his right foot and stepped on the ground suddenly, and the whole person seemed to have grown a little bigger

"Drink!"

Directly hit the gargoyle's claws with his body and slashed at Dick, who couldn't dodge, and then made a muffled bang, and the gargoyle who had always had the upper hand actually took a step back slightly, although Demps's face twitched, obviously not very comfortable, but the action did not stop at all, and the long sword with a faint light slashed one after another in the darkness, like the moon of dead leaves crossing the sky like a shower of stars, with the solid swordsmanship honed day and night to attack.

And Dick took this opportunity to drag his big sword and turn over and withdraw from the battle circle, and began to regain his strength, if it wasn't for the sudden outburst of Demps just now, he would definitely be strong and clawed, and his fate was no different from being chased by the boar.

"The regimental commander is starting to fight hard."

Roger's figure appeared next to the panting Dona, this usually calm wanderer is also embarrassed at the moment, although the vital parts are protected by leather armor, but other places are not so lucky, the large and small cracks in the clothes show a piece of bruises, and the cheeks are wiped with a bloody stain Roger is gray-faced and loaded with arrows into the crossbow, but for the gargoyle with rough skin and thick flesh, the crossbow arrows that can penetrate the thin iron armor do not seem to be much more sad than being bitten by mosquitoes.

This kind of character with solid defense and amazing endurance has always been the most troublesome guy for people like Roger who take the agile route, especially when it is difficult for him to inflict any effective damage on this guy, he can only rely on speed and long-range attacks to consume the opponent's physical strength, but this thing that obviously does not seem to have the concept of physical strength Roger's countermeasures all along do not seem to be very effective, he thought so, and suddenly, the wanderer's eyes widened.

The battle between Demps and the gargoyle is still fierce, and Demps, who forcibly stimulates his own potential, has stepped into the top of the red bronze position, coupled with his superb swordsmanship and rich combat experience, it is not easy to win the silver rank against him, but not to mention how long Demps can hold on, Roger found something even more terrifying.

The speed of the huge gargoyle is increasing little by little! It's not obvious, but it's there, and with the brief burst of Demps' overdrawn potential, the momentum of the gargoyle being suppressed will change, and this hideous monster will gradually turn the situation back, and at that time, I'm afraid it won't mind a slaughter of the fire wine that has lost its ability to resist!

Roger's eyes flashed, and then he became firm again, and he habitually bent over, hissing, and he couldn't help but gasp for air.

When he was fighting just now, he couldn't dodge and was scratched by the gargoyle with a swing of his head, he thought it was nothing, but it seemed that he had broken a few ribs, Roger gritted his teeth to maintain his position, swept his boots and belt with his right hand, and took off some small bits and pieces that could not be seen to be useful.

Then the fingers jumped rapidly, and the clicking sound continued to sound, and they quickly assembled into two short arrows that exuded a faint oily copper luster.

"Roger, you, you're going to use this thing?!"

Dona on the side looked at these two short arrows that were not good-looking, these things were originally not just two, but three, and one was consumed in a previous mission to hunt down fugitives, that is, the oil and copper short arrows, which almost blew up half of the house! Killed three good players in the lower position of red copper!

"You're crazy! Do you want to bury everyone! ”

Take one more hand and grab Roger's wrist, the scene of the deafening explosion and the spitting fire flashing in front of his eyes, he can be sure without hesitation that once this arrow explodes, the corridor will collapse, not only the gargoyle, but also the fire wine that has not found another furnace will be buried deep underground with this underground palace, and will never see the light of day!

Roger looked at Dona expressionlessly, but he didn't shake off his hand, and the two were in a stalemate for a short time.

"Hmph"

The wanderer broke the embarrassment with a chuckle, gently pulled his wrist out of Tona's five fingers, and shook his head

"Do you think I'm so impulsive, as long as I can hit that monster, with its physical strength enough to eat most of the damage, the rest of the aftermath should not be too much of a problem for this sturdy dungeon, and look over there-"

The long sword that emitted a ghostly light faded away, gradually revealing the black long arm continued to fight, making a piercing friction sound, although Demps still had the upper hand by relying on the explosive secret method, but it was obvious that he didn't even have the power to parry, and the gargoyle who could only passively rely on his hard body to fight against him was gradually able to block Demps's violent slash, and even occasionally be able to carry out one or two counterattacks.

This is not to say that the gargoyle is learning the combat experience, it is not so much learning that kind of progress, but rather that the skills that have been unfamiliar for many years are slowly regaining their senses, Roger spread his hands, although there was a wry smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold

"There's no other way for us to do it."

Dona felt a pang in his heart, only then did he realize that the situation on the battlefield was extremely unoptimistic, and as Demps's partner for many years, he certainly knew how long Demps could hold out in this state.

Maybe Roger's judgment is correct, this thought flashed in his heart, the current scene can't tolerate too much hesitation, since he chose to believe Roger, then he must act immediately!

"Captain!"

He raised his heavy shield and crashed out, and Demps, who was fighting with the gargoyle, seemed to have eyes on his back after hearing Dona's shout, and when Dona collided, he took a step with his left foot and turned sideways to let him rush into the battle circle, and at the same time, the night sparrow turned around and slashed down after Dona's figure.

The gargoyle didn't have time to deal with this combo, and was beaten to the point that he staggered a few steps, and Dick, who had recovered some strength on the side, gritted his teeth and took the opportunity to pounce, and joined up with Dona to contain the gargoyle and create more opportunities for Demps and Roger.

The increase in the number of people also made the battle circle expand more and more, the lower strength of Donadik and others needed more space to dodge, and the other fire and wine mercenaries on the side had to withdraw farther, not only could they not intervene in the battle with the gargoyle now, but they didn't even dare to leave the vicinity to explore the entire dungeon, who knows if there will be another cargoyle, a golden goyle or something!

"Damn!"

Yas couldn't help but slam his fist the wall, the rough surface of the wall leaving scratches on his brown deerskin gloves

"Haven't we all checked! What are these things! ”

Yes, this is not the first time that Firewine has explored this underground ruin, Demps has done enough work before, and Yas has also carefully removed most of the traps on the first floor under the leadership of Roger, originally thought that although this time it cannot be said to be foolproof, but the danger should be reduced a lot!

But it was not right from the beginning! Although the fog used to be so thick, it never condensed into a huge monster, and it would not collapse the first layer of the dungeon, as for this place, I don't know where it is, the ruins of this dungeon should only be three layers, although Yas did not go down to the third layer, but he can be sure that this place, which is very different from the first two layers, will not be the third layer!

As like as an apple to an oyster? Yas frowned, he thought for a moment, and called out to his companion

"Nalluch, do you remember those murals on the second floor before?"

Narluch was stunned for a moment, and slowly recalled

"Well, remember, weren't we still surprised at the time, I don't know how many years it was, but the traces of the carving are very complete, there is no loss, and there is a smooth touch like marble......"

That's it! Yas's eyes lit up, he took off his gloves and groped around the rough walls, reconfirming his thoughts, this was not the ruin they had explored before, but another ruin hidden under the three-story dungeon!

This means that there should be another exit here!

Happy New Year's Day! Dear ones!

What's... I'm still revising, this week and next week's exams...
