Cold rays of magic pierced through the grass, creating a straight ice-blue trail in mid-air towards Finn's forehead.

The young paladin focused on the ray of magic that was dedicated to killing him directly, and immediately raised his left hand in that direction, reflecting the silver light of the moon on the metal ring of the demon drink ring on his finger.

“Sw’low！” Finn immediately shouted the spell password to activate the Drinking Ring.

The last syllable of his mouth fell, and the surface of the Demon Drinking Ring suddenly glowed with greedy light, and the ice ray of a three-ring witchcraft "snapped" and struck an invisible barrier, and the spell cast by the sneak attacker was instantly transformed into a stream of life energy into a stream of life energy into the body of its wearer.

Finn used the Drinking Ring's once-a-day Savior function in exchange for an unscathed response.

At the same time, the trajectory of the ice ray can only be a straight line, and this 3-ring witchcraft indirectly exposed the location of the sneak attacker, Lilith, who was standing next to Finn, couldn't help but say, and then raised the wolf soul staff in her hand and fired three arcane missiles in a row in the direction where the ray flew to give a counterattack.

For a moment, the three arcane missiles flew into the other side of the grass, making three muffled sounds that seemed to have hit something.

Realizing that an enemy lurked behind the grass, Finn immediately took a step forward with his iron sword in his hand, protecting Lilith as the caster behind him.

Immediately after, there was a heavy stride of the beast against the dirt in the direction he was guarding, and the half-man-tall grass that separated the two sides was savagely trampled by a giant monster with a large head, and a woman with white hair and black dress sat on the shoulder of the monster and covered one of her arms, glaring at Lilith who stood behind Finn with a staff in hand.

"Little girl, your throwing skills are quite accurate, aren't you?" The white-haired woman sitting on the monster's shoulder glared viciously at the warlock girl.

There was no doubt that two of the three arcane missiles that Lilith had shot blindly had hit the monster under her skirt, while the third had hit her, causing her some minor injuries.

Finn held his sword in front of his eyes. Looking straight at the white-haired woman and the big-headed monster with four hooves under her seat, he immediately recognized that the two enemies in front of him were none other than the poisonous vine, one of the four patriarchs of the Demon Pastor Sect, and the wild boss loser known as the rookie killer in the dagger forest.

"What did you do to Arya?" The young paladin raised his chin to look at the loser, then looked directly at the poison vine and questioned.

"Hmph, it's just a little experiment." With one arm in his hand and the other on the loser's neck, the poison vine sat on the monster's shoulder and looked down on Finn and Lilith.

Since both sides had been exposed to each other's eyes, she didn't bother to continue talking nonsense, so she immediately ordered the alchemical monsters who listened to her command: "Loser, crush them!" ”

Her words this time weren't offensive. Instead, it was crushed, and it was evident that she seemed to be quite angry at Lilith's arm with an arcane missile.

The monster named the loser immediately cracked open the ugly mouth on its head, roared an equally ugly roar, and then swept at Finn with its terrifying arms like a siege cone.

The two bits of light in the young paladin's eyes were like a pair of firm anchors nailed to the thick arm that the loser swept towards him.

He grasped the cheap long sword he had bought from the peasant blacksmith shop in his hands with both hands, and gave a resolute command to a force at his disposal, and two sparks immediately exploded on the iron sword in his hand, and then with a "boom" a black flame that sealed and wrapped the blade of the sword.

The black flame enchanted on the blade of the iron sword is the Shadow Knight's class "Blessing of the Darkening Flame", which enchants a weapon to inflict magical damage with holy and fire attributes, and is prerequisite for having at least 15 Perception, mastering the Divine Grace Specialty and at least an intermediate level or higher Divine Specialty.

[Class Specialty (Paladin) - Intermediate Divine Arts: Allows you to learn and perform 1~3 Ring Divine Arts. Casting the 3-Ring Divine Spell requires additional prayer time]

[Class Specialty (Paladin) - Divine Grace: When performing a status determination, the immunity resistance to bad status is increased by both Perception and Charisma]

The Flame Blessing and the Flame Blessing, which represent the Mithril Knight and the Shadow Knight respectively, are like light and shadow blooming from the same spark, and their abilities have the same effect. The conditions for mastery are very similar except for the class requirements, and the difference between the two is only the two polar opposite hues of fire, the skill Saint White and the Dark.

Since the total level has been increased to level 14, Finn's idle attribute points and specialty points have been left with 3 and 5 respectively.

Of those 5 specialization points, after he asked Versidis to upgrade his paladin profession to Shadow Radiance Knight, he took 2 points out of it and invested it in the intermediate divine skill specialty and the charisma specialty. So when he first met the adventurers of the Sideburns Adventure Group last night, he actually mastered two more specializations, and learned this second-order class skill early through the "Shadow Knight Skill Manual" given to him by Vercidis in the Priory.

The iron sword straightened its spine in the dim flames.

In a flash of lightning, Finn stared sideways at the loser's big hand attacking him. With a combined effort, he slashed at the sword burning with black flames in his hand.

In the next second, everyone present heard a sharp sound of "poof", and the long sword burning with dark flames stabbed into the thick arm skin of the loser along a perfect curve according to the trajectory of Finn's slash, and then slammed a bloody and hideous gap in the direction of the loser's sweep.

As soon as the poll was blown, dark red plasma burst out of the gap.

A painful hiss erupted from the slit in the loser's head.

The alchemy-modified monster seemed to know what pain was like, and its dozen or so eyes that grew like spiders on its head focused on the sword in Finn's hand, and then took two steps back with a random round of injured arms around the poisonous vine sitting on its shoulder.

Finn drew back his iron longsword, enchanted with the blessing of the Flames, and ducked his head to the side to dodge, dodging the second sweep of the loser's indiscriminate rotation of his arms after being injured.

After the first tentative exchange between the two sides, the loser under the Poison Vine Seat and Finn opened up a short battle distance between each other.

Finn's forces were completely undefeated against the loser, who fell into a brief state of stiffness after withstanding Finn's powerful counterattack. Standing behind Finn's back, Lilith calmly read the situation of the battle, and saw that the monster named the loser seemed to be a little out of balance, and then decided that this was a good opportunity to directly attack the poison vine, so she immediately raised the wolf soul staff in her hand forward.

Her slender five fingers gripped the dark iron steel handle of the Staff of the Wolf Soul, ready to cast a spell.

At this moment, the spiritual hub that Finn's mind had established with the ghost spiders suddenly sent him a warning signal.

In one of the images in his mind, the young paladin once again saw the group of gray-sideburned wolves that had attacked the camp before, and immediately turned his head sideways and shouted at Lilith, "Watch the back! (To be continued.) )
