Chapter 15: Resisting the Black Mist
While Kage-Seven was struggling, the other four realized their physical problems almost in no particular order. After all, although the nine guards have different means, they are all in a large class, and the difference in the total amount of magic power is not huge. Shadow Seven consumed a bit more because of the guidance and the reminder, but after all, the speed of black mist extraction was extremely fast, and this difference was only a few seconds.
Each of the four of them came up with their own means. Shadow Four took out a few tubes of potion and swallowed them instantly, but there was no bottle of magic mystery medicine given by Shadow Seven. Countless thin needles appeared in the hands of the Shadow Five, and they quickly inserted into several major points in the body at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, stimulating the speed of the growth of magic in the body. Shadow San's hands each had an extra crystal clear long sword, and the cyan brilliance instantly skyrocketed, suppressing the black fog for a while, and at the same time, a steady stream of magic energy flowed from the hilt of the sword into his body, and was then sucked away by the black mist. Shadow Six simply sat down cross-legged, muttering words in his mouth, chanting in this situation, his body seemed to be a little stronger, and it was changing with the expansion and contraction of the black mist. Several of them are the absolute elite of the shadow guards, and they are well prepared for their daily lives, and they all have hole cards. Although the black mist is weird, it is only to extract magic power, and they have not even used their hole cards to take it all, and the situation has stabilized in a few breaths.
Time passed, and Shadow Seven gradually became uneasy. At this time, he had regained his upright posture, and his mind was completely clear, and he did not have all the abnormalities he had when he had just taken the secret medicine. It stands to reason that he should be glad, but his heart sank, and the brow under the mask shrank deeply.
It's so fast! The magic elixir is a legendary-level potion, extremely powerful, and for his level, it is extremely reluctant to take. The most conservative estimate is that he will lose part of his consciousness in exchange for nearly half an hour's super combat power. But since he drank it, it was only less than ten minutes later, and he was completely awake, and even the explosive power in his body caused by the secret medicine was faintly controlled, and he gradually began to regain complete control of his body. This shows that the power of the black mist has eliminated the power of the secret medicine, and the originally strong potency is being chased by the growing black mist, and the balance of imbalance is recovering.
He closed his eyes and began to calculate the speed of generating magic in his body compared to the consumption, which was usually difficult to accomplish, and required a great amount of mental consumption, but with the support of the secret medicine, it was barely possible.
After about a minute, Shadow Seven opened his eyes, his face a little pale, and his eyes were filled with a heavy haze that could not be dissolved. It's so fast! The black mist grew too fast, completely exceeding his expectations. At this time, the secret medicine still had the upper hand, but this situation would not last long, and he kept calculating in his heart and thinking about countermeasures.
The four people on the other side were also aware of the problem, after all, the magic power extracted by the black mist was constantly increasing. And their methods are about to lose their containment effect. Using needles to force the flesh of the Shadow Five, the first magic power was exhausted, and he quickly chose another method, swallowing several potions and pills, all of which had the effect of generating and replenishing mana, but this was only for a while. Several other people in this situation are almost all the same choice, swallowing the drug. But in a short period of time, the effect of the same potion will decrease, and soon they will find that there is no medicine on their bodies that can complete the replacement, because no one will have more than a dozen different high-level potions on their bodies to restore their magic power, and even Shadow Four, who is the best at potions, is not prepared for this. And the low-level potions were completely a drop in the bucket in the face of the black fog's terrifying extraction. So they were all faced with the same choice, not to use the bottle of potion given by Ying Qi. At this time, they didn't know, in fact, Shadow Seven was already in a predicament, in their hearts, the elixir of the Magic Mystic Potion was enough to solve the problem, and all they were worried about was whether Shadow Seven would do anything in the potion. Understanding the crux of the problem doesn't mean that there is a way to solve it, and even Shadow Four can't test whether there is a problem with this bottle of potion in a short period of time, let alone the other three. But time is pressing, and there is not much time left for them to choose.
Ying Si had already built a line of defense in his heart, he was already a very careful person, and he had already noticed too much wrong at this time. It seems that everything Ying Qi does is logical, but behind his confident performance, all his actions seem to be in a hurry, this contradictory feeling has always haunted him, and at this time, it is even more stirring up in his mind, to the point that he can't ignore it. He had been holding the little bottle for a long time, but he had never swallowed it, and his instincts for years had kept preventing him from doing so. In the end, he put away the secret medicine and replaced it with a small purple-gold gourd. The face under the mask of the shadow was a little distressed, after all, the value of the things in this gourd may not be inferior to the magic mystic medicine, just to say the rarity, it may still be excessive, but he is a decisive person after all, and he will not change his determination, and he ruthlessly pulled out the cork, and the cold breath gushed out from the small bottle, rushing to his face, and he directly poured it up.
Shadow Five and Shadow Six did not have such preparations, their hole cards were not in the category of magic, but after a little thought, they chose the magic elixir and swallowed it directly. The two of them also entered the earliest state of Shadow Seven, although it was painful, but at least they withstood the pressure of the black mist.
Only Shadow Three, he was still hesitating, the two crystal swords in his hand were not as bright as they were at the beginning, and the black mist that was forced to retreat was enveloped again, but the quality of these two swords was extraordinary, and they had followed him for many years, and they could hold it for a while, which gave him more time to make a decision. Shadow Four is careful, but Shadow Three is better at the big picture, he may not be able to find out the mistakes in the details of Shadow Seven, but that feeling of uneasiness will only be stronger than Shadow Four, so this bottle of potion was not in his range of choice from the beginning. What he is doing now is planning for the future, because he believes that it will not be just that. Therefore, all his considerations are focused on how to carry through this stage with as little use of hole cards as possible, and retain more strength for the follow-up. Although he could consider it for a longer period of time, it was still limited, as he didn't want to use up all the power of the two crystal swords. This is his most skillful blade, and it is part of his strength. So, he gradually locked in one of several options.
Just as Ying San was about to switch methods, suddenly, the black mist trembled violently, like boiling water tumbling, and in an instant, it rose to a height of three meters, and the color directly turned into a thick black, completely engulfing the figures of the five people!
