Chapter 169: Missteps
In the night, a dark cloud of golden thunder and lightning hung over the slums. A light rain slowly descended, dissipating the aura of death all over the ground.
"Behold, the rain of the Holy Spirit."
"This is a gift from the God of Light."
Some mobs, looking at this holy scene, seemed to be moved, and some people, regardless of life and death, ran into the rain area, just to accept the washing of this holy rain. After teaming up to cast the Rain of Light, groups of priests began to advance towards the skeleton core, waving their staffs to provide amplification to adventurers.
At this time, a term that had rarely been heard in the past reached the ears of many nobles.
- Abyss!
What is it?
Among the adventurers, rumors began to circulate that the skeletons and ghosts came from a terrifying plane called the Abyss, and that the people in this plane were bloody, brutal, and extremely powerful. There was something brewing in the abyss, and it made people feel chills in their hearts - his plan was to invade the Divine Grace Continent. And it is said that in the Golden City, many people have become the minions of the abyss, and they are doing things for the evil forces.
For a moment, people were panicked.
The people who spread the news were none other than Ellen's Assassin men, and under the leadership of Fleur, everyone took advantage of the chaos tonight to spread the news and threw out all kinds of materials to prove that some nobles had an affair with the Abyss.
And the initiator of all this, Allen, is firmly focused on one thing at the moment.
The wind and rain in the outside world seem to have nothing to do with him. In the eyes of many people, in this chaos, Allen is just an ordinary participant, because there are ghosts here, so he came to see it. But no one realizes that in the midst of all the fog. It turned out that this young warlock wearing a mask was also one of the initiators.
It's Victor, who has many clues, and has never thought of this.
And right now, Alan relies on his own knowledge of Victor's generals. Another big thing is coming.
Standing on a remote street corner, Alan kept an eye on the movements of Sterling, the ghost of death, and it was disgusting that this man actually fed on rats. At this moment, a figure appeared on the street corner.
"It's finally here." After Allen found out about Sterling, he never stood still, and he didn't even notify his companions, just for fear of startling the snake. Miss the boat. Allen was not bad, and the people of the abyss secretly found Sterling.
At this time, an old mage appeared in the field of vision, and Alan saw it, holding his breath, his eyes firmly locked.
On the other side, the third-order old mage who had appeared at the round table and presided over the agenda was carrying important things. Walked alone to the river. Mistress Victor was right, according to his method. I found the true location of the ghost at once. Then everything is still done according to Lord Victor's orders. The old mage walked cautiously, constantly looking around, this was the critical moment, and the other adventurers must not be allowed to discover it.
On the other hand, the old mage's gaze looked faintly. In his heart, he thought that there should be no problem with that person, but for some reason, this mage was always a little uneasy.
In the shadows, Alan saw the old mage get closer and closer to Sterling. But he still stood still, thinking to himself, is there any way for this guy to make the ghost of confusion obedient and docile to take medicine? Although the person did not move, his limbs had already accumulated strength, and he only waited for the critical moment to subdue the mage.
With experience, Alan can be sure that this mage also has at least three orders, calculating the strength of both sides, Alan only has a chance to strike, if the sneak attack fails, it will definitely fall into a bitter battle, and who wins and who loses at that time is not necessarily. Right now, Alan wants to see what kind of state the 10,000-year-old ghost will be before taking the medicine, and how the people of the abyss will deal with him.
At this moment, the system suddenly sent a reminder.
"Allen, there are two people in the abyss in the field of vision, not one!"
Yes? Hearing this, Alan was slightly stunned, take a pill, and there is still a layout?
Alan shouted in his heart that it was not good, and this person in the abyss was probably also guarding against sneak attacks. So, at the moment, the two people, the potion that helped Sterling recover, who will be on them? Allen's mind flowed, and he immediately stopped waiting, if he waited, it was very likely that the bamboo basket would be empty!
"System, fixed-point second person position!"
Alan thought in his heart, although this mage has been very cautious since he appeared, it seems that he also deliberately intends to attract others. If it is according to the common sense of Victor's cards, it is very likely that this third-order powerhouse is just the one who lures the enemy, and the one who really sends medicine to Sterling should be another!
At this moment, the system made a sound, which suddenly made Allen feel a burst of utter helplessness.
"Hint, this person is a space mage, and through teleportation, he suddenly entered the field of vision!"
Hearing this, Alan was surprised, no wonder he hadn't found him before.
"The positioning is complete, the other person is underwater, 3 meters from Sterling!"
"Hint, this person seems to be carrying something, concealing his breath."
Shielded from breath? That's too bad, it's too late. Alan thought that if the ghost found the second person, he might rebel and have a chance to take the potion. Now it looks like something is backfiring.
"This person is still 0.5 meters away from Sterling!"
Miscalculation, miscalculation, Allen's face changed, although he was firmly focused on Sterling, he ignored the existence of the space mage. In the Divine Grace Continent, space mages are extremely rare, if only one person in a million people has the talent of a mage, then out of a hundred thousand mages, I am afraid that only one person can learn space magic.
The teleportation circle that appeared tonight proved to Eren that the Victor forces had once again used their space mages, but Eren ignored them!
Alan didn't wait any longer, a scorching flame rose out of thin air and spread, no matter what the opportunity was, he still had to fight and deal with the mage in the middle of the road first.
The hellfire suddenly burst up, and in an instant, it surrounded the space mages not far away, and Allen's powerful body pounced and came to the back of the mage, and without waiting for any reaction from the third-order mage, the corpse demon tree had turned into several tough vines, firmly pinning the mage under him.
"Hint, the person who locates has taken control of Sterling."
"This man shoved a bottle of potion into Sterling's mouth!"
This! Thousands of calculations. But I thought that this sudden reversal came at the critical moment, and Alan felt helpless for a while. In the past three or two months, Victor seems to have fallen behind in the battle with Allen, whether overt or dark, but after all, Victor is still a thoughtful person. They will not accept their own failures.
Now that he knows that there are forces against him in the Golden City, it is impossible for Victor not to be unguarded, and this time the confrontation can be regarded as the victory of the Abyss Lord!
"What a mistake!" Allen made a surprise attack and subdued the third-order mage, but the mage was stunned, and before he could come back to his senses, his mana had been firmly limited by the corpse demon tree. But it's too late, what's the use!
After a period of getting along. The bloodthirsty nature of the Corpse Demon Tree seems to have been much restrained, and although it is now inserting vines into the mage's body, it has not resulted in his death.
"What are we going to do now?" The Corpse Tree asked.
Alan was still shocked in his heart, watching the space mage stuff a bottle of potion into Sterling's hand, but he was powerless to stop it, and his heart was indignant!
But what else can be done now? Sterling is about to regain his senses in a few minutes, what are you waiting for, run away!
Dark. The space mage, after dropping the potion. He whispered a few words in the ghost's ear.
"There's a teleportation array here, get out of here!"
After the mage finished speaking, he looked at the demon boy with great trepidation, and then disappeared!
When Alan knew that the second person who appeared in his field of vision was a space mage, he already knew it in his heart. I can't catch up anyway. However, Alan was not willing to return empty-handed, since these third-order mages were used to "lure the enemy", Allen would plan and take it down.
After subduing the third-order mage, Alan didn't dare to stay. With a stroke of the staff in his hand, a brilliant firework, with a loud sound, rushed into the air. The fireworks are open and can be clearly seen even from several kilometers away.
Allen's intention is very clear, in order to send a signal to all adventurers in the slums, marking the location of the ghost, Alan believes that as long as anyone with a little heart sees this fireworks, they will go here to find out the results, not to mention that there is also the detection vision of the Golden City in the sky.
After doing these things, Alan did not dare to stay, the interception plan was declared a failure, and it was useless to stay longer, and he would only plunge himself into a deep crisis.
Just as Master Alan was firmly nailed to the ground, he pulled out his staff and turned to leave!
At the same time, a powerful ghostly aura surged from the river, confirming Allen's suspicions.
Stirling's chaotic state was lifted, and Alan immediately flew faster, and he couldn't deal with Sterling at all without help.
And just when Eren was running for his life, this dragon vein warlock felt several powerful breaths, and was speeding towards the place where the death qi broke out, and his heart couldn't help but be a little wider, with the existence of this group of people, Alan at least would not be surrounded by ghosts immediately.
"Hey! Demon Kid! ”
Just as Alan quickly retreated, a short figure suddenly appeared in the alley, this figure was wearing a gorgeous dress and an exaggerated sausage mouth, and was giggling, and the demonic laughter spread far and wide.
"You're not going in the right direction!" Jock grabbed Alan tightly, and without saying a word, he ran him towards the place where the ghostly aura had emerged.
"The ghosts have appeared, and you are still walking outside, are you stupid?" Jock opened his mouth and laughed wildly, excited.
Alan was pulled by Jock like this, but he didn't twist it, and followed his wishes, heading in the direction of Skolin, and then looking at Jock's side, there was also a member of the circus. I knew that after this Jock entered the core area, he must have been so excited to search for the whereabouts of the ghost everywhere that he left his companion behind.
At the moment, the fragment of time and space is still in Jock's hands, although Alan is unwilling to face Sterling so quickly, but he can only "sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman", otherwise if this thing falls into the hands of the abyss, it will be difficult to recover. But then again, Alan can't carry the ghost alone, and with Jock, it shouldn't be difficult to stand up for a minute or two.
Despite the wishes, Alan returned to the river anyway and became one of the first people to face the ghost of chaos, with no extra combat power around him except Jock.
Look at the river again. The river, which had been blocked by excessive nutrients, began to boil and tumble under the action of the rich death breath, and a foul smell rushed to the sky.
"This death aura is too powerful!" Alan frowned, looking at the black, green, water-stained possessed ghost in the river, holding the corpse magic staff in his hand.
What else can I do now? Alan didn't think much about it, all the amplification spells were turned on in an instant, and the hellfire jumped up like a fire dragon, and boundless blood shadow arrows flew out.
"Hee-hee...... Haha...... "Facing the powerful ghost, Jock's heart jumped suddenly, and with a stroke in his hand, a pair of poisonous blades appeared out of thin air, and several fierce weird fighting qi rushed straight to the ghost façade! (To be continued.) )
