Crystallized blood glowing with a faint blue glow on the snow not far away.

The fairy girl in Nimesis's hand hung her head as if she was dead, her slender shoulders trembling slightly.

In fact, the quest to get the Crystallized Blood can now be over. But there's another problem, Brando can't be sure if the demonized crystallized blood counts. And the strangeness of the forest also aroused his curiosity, and he knew that in the past Amber Sword games there were some settings for hidden missions.

It's hard to say whether this counts in front of you or not, but you won't lose by giving it a try.

He looked at the demonized crystal stag struggling on the ground, a little confused. What had happened to make it what it was, and as creatures living in harmony with magic, the Crystal Stag rarely fell for an obsession with dark magic.

And strangely, the other party seems to be resisting the erosion of the dark magic, which means that it is not actively depraved. But how can a keen magical creature be infected by dark magic?

And that weird fairy lady.

Brando took a step forward, "Anger and uneasiness will magnify the dark side a thousand times, you will only sink deeper and deeper if you go on like this, I can feel your resistance, can you hear me-"

The stag spewed white gas from its nostrils and glared at Brando with blood-red eyes.

Brando was slightly stunned, he was not a druid, and he didn't know how to appease the animals. Even the previous life did not have the slightest relevant experience, which gave him a bit of a headache, and this crystal stag seemed to have a little sanity, but also a manic appearance.

He didn't understand why it was so manic, it didn't make sense, even if the demonized creatures were demonized, they would just become like those black wolves in the Black Forest, full of resentment and murderous intent towards civilization. This resentment is cold, not manic; But what he felt in Malocha was a restlessness and anxiety that seemed to be anxious to drive them away.

He hesitated. Tentatively put his hand on Malocha's neck.

But it's precisely this time. A hint of murder flashed in the eyes of the demonized crystal stag, it seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and its head, which was originally so weak that it seemed to be unable to move, suddenly slashed.

The triple translucent ripples seemed to reach Brando's eyes in an instant.

His pupils contracted slightly—the Achilles' heel on the back of the neck under the horns of the crystal stag was actually not suitable for the demonized stag! He had just calculated the amount of the other party's health, so he didn't have the slightest suspicion when he saw Marocha fall. But I didn't expect the other party to be calculating him at the same time.

Brando's heart was pounding, and the threat of death made his brain run wildly at a thousand times the rate. At that moment, he suddenly realized that this demonized crystal stag probably understood the difference between its power and its ordinary kind!

"Damn it!" With a scolding in his heart, Brando slashed at Marocha with a sword, and at the same time activated the Nine Dawns and Flashes of the Wind Queen in the opposite direction. The demonized crystal stag whipped out of place with a wail, connecting and breaking the three crystallized trees of fog - but Brando wasn't good either. His figure faded in the ripples of the sickle, but when it reappeared, it left a bloody wound on his cheek.

The previous blow was still too close.

"You guy, don't think my patience is limitless......" Brando muttered in his heart a little angrily, after all, the hidden mission is not more important than life, and the previous blow has already made him feel deeply threatened.

But he was only halfway through his words before he broke off.

He saw Malocha staggering to her feet. The wound on the stag's neck had not healed and a leg had been broken. It seems that its elemental power has now been fully used to suppress the erosion of darkness. In other words, it is already difficult to use the power of healing.

But even so-

The crystal stag still staggered towards Brando and Nimesis, its magic lingering on its horns, ready for its next attack.

It lowered its head, its red eyes flashing with angry flames, and its long horns already pointed at Brando.

Brando was a little dazed, in Amber Sword, after the crossing. He had experienced many battles, but he had not faced such a scene once. The only time it came close was around the outskirts of Fort Reiburg.

He was nothing but a beast in front of him, but he felt that he vaguely saw the white knight Alberton who was half-kneeling on the ground with a sword, but still had a proud heart—it was only in a beast that he had such an illusion.

Creatures that have been demonized, they have no mind. Only know how to kill. Pain, death, and fear could not stop them from continuing their attack, as if they were the spirits of Madara.

But Brando knew that this was not the case in front of him, that it was struggling, not with a desire to kill, but with something he could not comprehend, sustaining its battle.

But what is it?

"You want to protect this forest?"

Magical flames flickered on Malocha's horns.

"But we're not your enemies—"

The demonized crystal stag lowered its head, as if it hadn't heard his words, and the magic power had converged on its long horns, and that point had already flickered. In the next moment, it will release its sickle.

But it didn't really mean much to Brando.

With the other party's state, he only needs a sword to end the battle. Then he and Nimesis completed the mission and left here, the only pity was that they couldn't get the hidden mission.

But Brando pressed one hand on the sword, and found that he couldn't do it.

Is completing a mission just for rewards?

It seems to be, but it doesn't seem to be.

"Speak, you bastard!"

"Don't ......," he heard the fairy maiden's wail, and the race that had always been happy cried out to him weakly, "I beg you to spare Lord Marocha......"

Brando's heart hesitated, the concentration of magic on Marocha's horns had become more and more obvious, and as long as it attacked, he had to fight back. The arrow is already on the string, if he doesn't fight back, how can he calmly take away the crystallized blood?

"But damn it, it's not like I want to kill this damn thing."

This crystal stag has gone completely insane.

But will it be able to withstand the next attack?

"Answer me!"

"Damn, what the hell is going on!" Brando couldn't help but yell, "Well, since this is your own choice-"

He took a deep breath and raised his sword.

It was just an instant, and Malocha's eyes were blood-red, as if she couldn't feel the qiē around her. But it raised its head. Deviated from his neck.

This is a precursor to an attack.

"Lord Malocha!"

"Brando!" The fairy girl and Nimesis shouted at the same time. But unlike the former, the female knight's gaze is always very calm. She looked at the crystal stag and reminded in a loud voice, "The magic of the forest all converges on one point—"

"What?"

"Listen to me, all the magic that has disappeared from this forest is concentrated on that stag!"

"What!" Brando's mouth was almost open for a moment, and he saw the demonized crystal stag attack, and the triple ripples seemed to ripple across half of the woodland in a circle like ripples on the surface of a calm lake.

But he didn't even react, and three clouds of blood exploded on him. The pale green number of healthy jù bars on the character panel suddenly dropped by half and became a bright yellow color for warning.

But Brando didn't care about the wounds crisscrossing his chest, he gritted his teeth and endured the sharp pain, and the fog that had been stirred up in his mind seemed to finally show signs of dissipation.

Here's the answer.

It turns out that this is the key to the mission!

His figure had suddenly vanished, and the next moment he appeared beside Malocha. The demonized crystal stag was completely powerless to attack or defend, and Brando raised the sword of the earth—

"Ahh

But it's a pity that no matter how hard she struggles, she is no match for Nimesis. The female knight only held her to the ground with two fingers indifferently and calmly.

Brando turned his sword.

He slashed with his sword. Slam the back of the crystal stag on the back of the head with the spine of the sword. He didn't show any mercy this time, this damn beast had caused him too much trouble.

There was a muffled thud, and Malocha collapsed.

But the demonic creature was as tenacious as Brando had expected, and it was still staring at Brando with blood-red eyes and resentment. It's just that a trace of cold killing intent has seeped out of the blood red, and this killing intent is quickly replaced by confusion - this means that the erosion of dark magic has reached the last moment.

"I ask you if all the magic of this forest has been extracted by you—" Brando asked, placing his sword around Malocha's neck.

Let's be honest. This scene is a little funny. It's not often that you've seen a swordsman force a stag to answer a question with his sword.

But Brando's expression was very serious.

"Get out, human!"

The angry answer in the mental world was not what he expected.

At this time, Malocha's body was almost completely enveloped in black smoke, and it was clear that the previous battle had consumed too much of its strength, and it had no strength left to suppress the erosion of darkness. The infiltration of dark magic was accelerating, and Brando's eyes were changing when he saw it.

But he didn't really need an answer anymore.

"Since you don't answer, then I'll have to find the answer to the mystery myself." Brando suddenly leaned down, and he grabbed Malocha's neck. Then point the sword at the center of the nape of its neck under its horns.

Down here, is the core of the magic of the Crystal Stag.

With a slight effort, the blade of the Earth Sword slashed through the skin, and blue blood flowed out. At this time, Malocha really let out an angry sound, and then struggled in a frenzy.

But Brando can be sure that it wasn't because of pain.

……

(PS: As mentioned before, tomorrow's nephew will be 100 days old, and I'm going to my sister's side, so it's only 6000 today.) Tomorrow it will be more 6000. The day after tomorrow, we will resume the update of 10,000.

In addition, the last chapter ended with Tiamat, the dragon of war, and I was thinking that the setting of the rest was written by hand for a while, and I will change it the day after tomorrow. The mistake of the Wind Elemental Pool will also be fixed.

The third is that it is said that there is a double this month, and everyone has a monthly pass to keep one. Also look good in the next month's table xiàn re-casting. ）
