At the most dangerous moment, Sophia finally noticed it, she subconsciously flashed to the side, only to hear a "porphyr" sound, and the enemy who attacked her couldn't hold back his footsteps, and threw himself into the stream, splashing a large splash.

"Uh......"

The sneak attacker threw himself in the water a few times and stood up as if nothing had happened. The man didn't say anything, he turned around like a marionette, and looked at Sophia with a wooden face.

This looked at Sophia startled, because she saw that this man was the same assassin who had committed suicide by poisoning after being captured by Joyka a few days ago, and his face was still black from the poison, and from his eyes that glowed with a faint green demonic light in the dark night, Sophia felt a terrifying evil power.

So Sophia understood what she was up against. It was a corpse driven by the "Death Technique" of dark magic, which is why she was able to detect danger in time, because as a priest of light, she is quite sensitive to the perception of dark magic. Sophia jumped back two steps, lowered the bucket, and clenched her twin blades in anticipation.

However, there is not only one corpse that has been charged by the "Death Technique". Behind Sophia, six dark green demon pupils flickered. Three figures floated from the darkness, two of them covered with a thin layer of ice, the ice formed by Cassius's magic that would last for a long time, and the other corpse had a thread on its neck, and he was the poor creature whose head had been shot off by Joyka's arrow, and who helped him get his lost head back.

Due to the arrival of summer and the relatively hot temperature, the four corpses have begun to swell, and the so-called "giant view" has appeared, especially the belly is very obviously swollen.

"Huh", "Huh", "Huh" - the three corpses rushed towards Sophia from the back, left, and right respectively, and together with the corpses in front of her, Sophia was caught in the middle of the attack from all sides.

"Drink!" Sophia scolded, swinging her short sword and dancing a few times.

As she swung her sword, she was blessed with several battle blessings, doubling her attack, speed, reflexes, defense, and senses. Where the sword slashed, several slashes were made on the bodies of the four "living corpses", but these undead did not know the pain at all, and even though they were chopped into a blur of flesh, they still stubbornly pounced on Sophia.

Taking advantage of the moment when a zombie assassin was slightly knocked back by her own attack, Sophia rushed out of the gap, breaking away from the enemy on all sides, and rushing straight towards a rocky clearing with high terrain.

Since the dead Assassin had been resurrected as an undead and suddenly appeared to attack her, it meant that at least one necromancer was secretly manipulating the corpses. In fact, with Sophia's current ability, it would be easy to destroy these four zombie assassins, and it only took a single holy light to purify these undead, but she only used blessing magic to strengthen herself to fight the four zombies. It was when she fought side by side with Owen, Joyka and others for a long time, so that Sophia learned to "plan and then act", she understood that her magic power was only half left at this time, but the details of the enemy in the shadows were still unclear, so she had to keep her magic power to fight the enemy, and the few blessing magic spells she blessed herself did not consume as much magic as a single shot of holy light, which could save magic power as much as possible. On the other hand, she also deliberately left these four zombies as bait, because once she killed these four zombies in an instant, then the necromancer hiding in the shadows is likely to escape, and only by giving the other party the illusion of "a chance to knock her down" can the guy be lured out.

So Sophia had to rush to the rocky clearing, where the high ground and good visibility allowed Sophia to observe the enemy's hiding place while the four zombie assassins were fighting.

But it was as it would have been. Her decision was a fatal failure.

Although Sophia has experienced many battles to the death, this hidden enemy has more experience than her. Sophia's every move, what countermeasures she might take, were almost all counted, and the rocky clearing was also moved in advance.

"Buzz ......"

The moment Sophia stepped into the rocky heights, an elemental resonance suddenly came from under her feet, and an ominous magic rose from the ground.

"Not good!" Sophia was startled, and immediately realized that there was no place for the rocky clearing. But before she could leave, the four zombie assassins had already pounced on her and besieged her.

It can be seen that the enemy hidden in the shadows is quite skilled in the manipulation of the art of death, because the corpses of the four assassins did not become sluggish walking corpses after being distributed, but retained all kinds of abilities in life to the greatest extent possible, at least in terms of their rapidity, almost the same as when they were alive.

Sophia was in a predicament, trapped by the four zombie assassins and unable to get out quickly, while the magic power under her feet continued to surge, condensing into a dark purple demonic light, forming a circular magic circle that contained Sophia and the four zombie assassins in it.

"Oops! It's 'Lost Mana'!" Sophia was shocked.

Although she had never studied dark magic, when she used to take a magic theory class with St. Angie, Teacher Angel had focused on telling her about a very dark trick in dark magic, which was the "loss of mana" in the chaos system. At that time, Teacher Anqi repeatedly emphasized that although light magic restrains dark magic, when encountering necromancers, it must not be relaxed, because many necromancers will use "magic loss" magic when they know that they are no match for the light priest, which is a range of weakening magic, generally entering the scope of influence of "magic loss", the magic power in the body of the recruiter will be emptied in a very short time, and there is no way to defend it. St. Angel also showed Sophia that many priests who fought with necromancers paralyzed the enemy after gaining the upper hand, and as a result, they were "lost in mana" and were turned over by their opponents.

Sophia, who listened carefully to the class back then, repeatedly assured Teacher Angel that she would be cautious and would never be controlled by this magic, but now she still fell for it. In fact, it's not that she wasn't careful enough, she could only blame that opponent for being too cunning, almost finding out Sophia's character, experience and action rules clearly, and setting a trap in advance.

To maintain the defensive barrier of the Valkyrie's soul from a distance, half of the magic power in Sophia's body has already been consumed, and now under the influence of "magic loss", the remaining magic power has decreased rapidly, but she immediately made a decision, and did not continue to entangle with the four zombies, but really released an attack-type holy light, instantly purifying the dark magic on the four corpses. Although doing so will consume more of her mana than usual, she also knows that the biggest enemy she faces at this time is time, and the sooner she gets out of the area of effect of "mana drain", the more combat power she can retain.

But it's a pity that even her step was counted by the enemy hiding in the shadows. Just as the four corpses were illuminated by the Holy Light, another dark spell that had been pre-injected into the corpses was activated.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang"!

In the midst of four violent explosions, the four corpses exploded, and in an instant, they exploded to pieces, and scattered the intestines, internal organs, flesh, blood vessels, and broken bones in the air, and a second round of explosions occurred, and the sound of small explosions "booming" continued in the ears.

The human body contains a large amount of fat which is a combustible substance, glycerin secreted by some organs in the human body can be used as an accelerant, human bones contain a large amount of phosphorus, which is a substance with a very low ignition point, and after death, the body will produce a large amount of combustible gases such as methane. Therefore, when certain conditions are met, the human corpse becomes a powerful bomb. The "corpse explosion" in dark magic is to create conditions that turn a human body into a bomb.

Freshly dead corpses have limited destructive power when they explode, but if they are swollen corpses after the "Giant View", the power of the explosion will reach its maximum due to the large amount of methane in the abdominal cavity.

Because the four corpses exploded quite completely, Sophia was almost exposed to the impact of the explosion from all angles, and she had nowhere to hide or hide, so she summoned several "divine shields" to protect herself.

After more than ten seconds, the sound of explosions stopped one after another, and those "human **" were finally exhausted, only to see that within a radius of more than 20 meters of the explosion, it was full of devastation, and the explosion produced a huge amount of heat, burning the surrounding flowers and plants, and even the wooden barrel that was going to fetch water for Cassius was also on fire, and the air was filled with foul odor and scorching heat.

In such a strong explosion, the magic array used to launch the "Magic Drain" was naturally shattered, but it successfully completed its mission: Sophia, who was at the center of the explosion, was not harmed at all under the protection of several layers of "Divine Shield", but in fact she was in an even more dangerous situation, because the continuous continuous casting of such a high intensity in the area affected by the "Loss of Magic Power" caused the magic power in her body to be instantly exhausted and the particles were gone.

A priest of light who has lost his magic is like a lamb to the slaughter in the face of dark magic—apparently, the enemy hiding in the shadows thinks so, so he swaggers out of his hiding place.

"Who are you?" said Sophia, staring coldly at the man who was pressing towards her.

I saw that this person was thin, his face was covered with a black cloth, he was dressed in gray tights, the left half of his body was covered by a dark red cloak, and his exposed right hand was holding a purple-red wavy bronze dagger. This outfit was obviously the same as the Assassin's attire, but it was significantly different from the group of Assassins who attacked Cassius the other day.

Moreover, the man was not a mere assassin, as he exuded the energy of surging dark magic. He is a demon and martial arts cultivator, both an assassin and a necromancer.

This also explains why he was not attacked by snakes and chickens when he was observing Sophia and setting traps. Because the first sense of this monster is smell rather than sight, and although this man is not an undead, the dark magic on his body makes him exude the breath of death, and the snake and chicken beast are fierce predators, but they only like to eat freshly caught living creatures, and have no interest in the carrion of dead corpses.

Sophia, whose magic is dry, has no choice, and she must face this cunning foe in a purely warrior manner.

Both of them are also dual cultivators of magic and martial arts, and it is still unknown which is stronger or weaker in combat martial arts, but Sophia can't use magic while the opponent can, and this unequal condition exists, so that Sophia is already at an absolute disadvantage before the fight starts.

The Assassin did not answer Sophia's words, and when he came to a place less than 10 seconds away from her, his body was like an arrow from a string, and he pounced on Sophia without hesitation......
