Chapter 276: The Destroyed Cemetery Gate (1st Update)
Thank you for one commuter pass that may be eternal in an instant, one commuter pass of the apple which was bitten.
………………
"Miss Christie......"
Retanas' eyes were full of concern as he looked at the blood-colored cube.
Although the first few times she had spent safely and soundly, she was still occupied by worry.
“…………”
The centaur girl had the same look on her face, but there was a little more doubt in Christie's eyes, because she was very puzzled why the centaur hero's former heroes attacked them.
Suddenly, Retanas felt a pang of unease, as if something terrible was coming.
Just as Christie was about to say something, there was a sudden loud bang, accompanied by violent vibrations, and a deafening popping sound burst out in the direction behind him.
"What the hell is going on?"
She frowned, and hurriedly looked in the direction behind her.
When I looked closely, I saw that the passage where they had entered was filled with thick dust, and it was completely impossible to see what was happening.
But one thing is for sure, Christie felt an evil dark aura from the dust.
Could it be the same three people I met earlier?
Thinking of this, Christie's expression became even more solemn.
Now/in Mr. Roland's predicament, then she has to shoulder this responsibility and make sure that these things will not affect Mr. Roland's fight.
"Retanas, I'm going to stop them next, so you can stay here. And also...... I can't protect you next, stay safe. ”
Christie glanced at her, then walked back into the passage with the longbow in her hand.
"No, I'll go too, my magic will help."
But Retanas didn't set out to do what the centaur girl said. Instead, he chanted a short incantation, summoned a fist-sized fireball in his palm, and looked at Christie with hopeful eyes.
Although Retanas is only an apprentice in magic, she is still able to unleash some entry-level magic.
For example, the fireball technique, which is not very powerful now.
"Well, but in the middle of the fight, I don't care about your safety."
Christie hesitated. In the end, this request was made.
Because there are three people on the other side, even if Retanas stays here, the danger will not be reduced, so it is not impossible to bring her.
"Great, I'm not going to bother you, Miss Christie."
"Don't speak, we need to hide and give the enemy a fatal blow."
With that, Christie and the two women slowly returned to the back passage.
According to her recollections. It was supposed to be a passageway entrance, not very wide, but with a large number of sculptures and corners, perfect for their next hidden ambush.
"Elves of the forest, please listen to my pleas and hide the breath from us, the barrier of the forest."
Suddenly, Christie clasped her hands to her chest. Said softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a breeze blew past her. and slowly lingered on the two of them for a while, and then disappeared.
This is one of the centaur legacies that Christie received from the soul of the frost spoon: the Barrier of the Forest.
Forest Barrier is a support skill.
It is capable of concealing the aura of the caster, as if it were a hunter hiding in the forest.
Although Christie didn't know if it didn't work, at least it was much better than doing nothing.
In a few moments, they were back at the entrance to the previous passage.
The thick dust still floated in the void. It's hard to see what's going on inside.
But what made Christie nervous was the clearly visible cracks in the ground, and I saw that the cracks half a meter thick had been spreading out of the dust until they stopped under her feet.
There is no doubt that such a crack can only be caused by a high-powered explosion.
So what could it be?
"Hide. And don't attack casually, our mission now is to buy time for Lord Roland, so that those mysterious enemies don't disturb Lord Roland, you know? ”
The centaur girl Christie took a deep breath and instructed the magic apprentice beside her again.
"Got it, I'll do my best."
Retanas pulled out a white magic scepter and hid behind one of the knight statues, his eyes firmly watching the dust drifting not far away.
Even if I die, I can't retreat.
For Mentor Roland!
“…………”
And the centaur girl didn't say anything, and clenched the [Starry Night Longbow] in her hand with both hands.
She believed that with her newly acquired Centaur Clan inheritance power, she would definitely be able to hold those guys at bay for a while.
Of course...... Little did Christie know that she would face a terrifying dark master, and even her master, Roland, would not be a match for that guy.
As time passed, the dust drifting in the air dissipated a lot, and at least you could see what was going on inside.
"Sure enough...... That's them. ”
When Christie looked intently, she saw that the walls not far away were completely shattered, and a huge pit appeared in the ground.
However, at the edge of the pit, three black-robed figures stood there.
No doubt Christie recognized the three men as the ones he had met in the outer passageway.
"Whew...... It should work...... Stop them. ”
The centaur girl calmed down her worries and said slowly, "Sleeping souls in the ancient graveyard, please pick up the glory of the past and slay an enemy with your arrows...... Metcalfe's bodyguards. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a click, and cracks slowly appeared on the knight statues on both sides of the passage, as if they would collapse in the next second.
However, there was no collapse that followed.
After the surface stones on their bodies fell to the ground, the statues that had been standing suddenly turned into living centaur knights.
In a short time, the entire passage was almost crowded with hundreds of centaur riders.
The centaur knights slowly stepped down from the statue's pedestal, staring coldly at the three Evelyns not far away.
"Hoo .................."
Seeing this scene, Christie's uneasy heart finally calmed down.
This is one of the inherited skills that summons the warriors of the ancient centaur clan to fight for themselves.
Of course...... It's not possible to summon so many every time.
As for being able to summon so many centaur knights this time, it is entirely due to the fact that this is Metcalfe's graveyard, and the centaur spirits are floating all around.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Christie to summon so many knights, at most four or five.
