Chapter 35: A Duel in the Wind
Did you find her, and Joyka asked Julian, who was meeting her again
Julian shook his head
And keep looking for me to come here, saying that Joyka was about to run in the direction he said
Wait a minute, Julian grabbed him, can you calm down
How do you make me calm down a good person suddenly disappeared Joeyka shouted
We have searched separately four times, but we have not found it, which means that Sophia is not near here at all, and Julian calmly analyzes to him, saying that it is a waste of time to look for it any longer, and now there are more important things waiting for us to do
Joyka's feelings were a little calmer at this time: Maybe you're right, but have you noticed that there is no breath of Vladimir in the vicinity, and if Vladimir gets her somewhere else, it will be troublesome
Perhaps she was fighting Vladimir, Julian nodded
That's exactly what I'm worried about, do you say you can make her a weak woman fight alone, and Joika almost roared at it
If she is fighting Vladimir, then we don't need to worry about it, Julian just smiled slightly at Joika's anxiety, you also know that she has fought with Vladimir many times before, and never once let Vladimir take advantage, although Julian and Joika and Sophia have not known each other for a long time, but he has heard the parties talk about their previous battles with necromancers
Maybe you have a point, after all, light magic restrains dark magic, I should believe in her strength, just like I believe in Cassius and Ray, Joyka nodded, he seemed to have fully recovered his senses
Let's go, go straight to Owen, Julian patted him on the shoulder, and walked in front, Joika thought for a moment and followed
A nameless island in the vast sea of the south
I've ...... No, Sophia, who was extremely prostrate, lay in the middle of a pile of bones, all thinking pessimistically, her consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, and normal people would go into shock if they lost 30% of their blood, and 50% of their blood would die, at this time Sophia had lost more than two-thirds of her blood in her body, not only that, but the blood was also flowing along the wound on her left wrist - this damn Vladimir knew that he could not live, and before he died, he used a terrifying Jedi corpse qi to force Sophia to convert a large amount of blood into light magic energy to resist
Vladimir's goal was achieved, at this time, Sophia would have died of blood loss even if she had not died under the Jedi Corpse Qi, but he also paid a huge price, and the attack of the Jedi Corpse Qi at such a close distance was indiscriminate Necromancer, and under the powerful magic he cast, the flesh and soul were destroyed, leaving only the empty black magic robe and his staff
I'm sorry Owen, I can't get back to you
The two comrades-in-arms came to a fork in the road, which way to go
Joyka: I think I should go this way, Julian points to the left, and if the map is correct, it should lead to the center of the town, where Owen might be hiding
I think it's this way to point to the right of Joyka
It seems to lead to the woods of the eastern suburbs, Julian unfolds a flat map of the town that he found from the captain's room at the entrance of the town
Well, since you think you should go to the left, I think you should go to the right, then let's go our separate ways
Hey, wait......
Before Julian could finish speaking, Joyka was already flying up the road on the right and disappearing around the corner of the street
In fact, Joyka deliberately parted ways with Julian, so that he would not let go of Sophia, and he must find a way to find her
Joika ran and ran, and before she knew it, she had reached the eastern outskirts of the town, which was a wood, and beyond that was a river--it was drawn like this, and Joika was very sensitive to maps, and she could almost remember that it was the result of his teacher Tismu's training since childhood, and it seemed unlikely that Sophia would be here, and Joika checked the ground for no new footprints from the town to the woods, and then turned to leave
Suddenly, Joyka sensed danger behind her
He staggered to dodge a sharp blade
I said why is it so quiet, it turns out that there is a universe inside, and when Joyka found out that the attacker turned out to be a skeleton soldier, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and at this time, nearly ten skeleton soldiers came out from behind the nearby woods and grass one after another
Joika, where are you, Julian shouted several times at the corner where Joika disappeared, but he didn't hear a response, so he gave up trying to continue looking for Joika, returned to the fork in the road, and re-embarked on the left road he had chosen
Even if he was alone, it would not stop the knights from advancing
He walked carefully through a few blocks when he suddenly smelled a faint aroma
Oops, Julian immediately understood what danger he was encountering, and he quickly tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, drenched it with drinking water in a water bag, and then covered his mouth and nose and tied a dead knot in the back of his head
Whatever danger lies ahead, it is imperative to keep going
Vulnerable to a blow, when the last skeleton soldier was shattered under the Mithril sword, Joika showed a look of disdain, although the number of ten skeleton soldiers was large, but in front of the battle-hardened Joika, it was only a number
Is there something in this remote woods that Skeleton Soldiers are actually guarding it, and Joyka originally wanted to leave, but suddenly had a thought, so he had to continue to advance deeper into the woods
Joyka set up her bow and arrows and walked cautiously, when he faintly heard a singing voice sung by a gentle and sweet female voice, he couldn't hear the lyrics, what was sung, but he felt that there was pathos and desolation in the song, and walked in the direction of the song, through the lush woods, step by step, Joika finally found the person who sang-it was a woman with her back to him, she was wearing a light green veil, with a handful of long pale blue hair, although she could not see her appearance, but judging from her tall and slender figure, she was definitely a big beauty
Miss, may I ask you if you are Joyka
The woman turned around slowly......
It's you, Latik, Joyka, as soon as he saw the woman's appearance, he immediately tightened the bowstring in his hand, no, didn't he quickly put down the longbow again, the dark green eyes that exuded spirituality, the face full of life, the smile full of kindness, and the beautiful voice, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the banshee, although the facial features of the elf woman in front of him are exactly the same as Latik
I saw that the figure of the elf woman gradually faded and finally disappeared into the air as a phantom
You ruined the spiritual communication between me and my sister, and a pale and hoarse voice came from behind, and Joika turned abruptly to see the gray-haired banshee Latik standing behind him at some point
Joyka immediately raised her bow and arrow, but it was still a tenth of a second too late—the banshee's death wail rang out through the trees, and Joyka clutched her heart in pain and fell with a thud
The skeleton soldier I left outside the trees has already given a warning, if you still want to come in, then don't resent me, Latik looked at Joey, whose heart had stopped, and said in a wooden voice, without the presence of the Light Priest at this time, and no one could revive the young man's heart
It's a pity that your signature stunt has failed again, and Joyka stood up again in Latik's stunned eyes
I see, did that little girl put a 'sacred wall' on you, and feeling the remaining light and magic energy on Joika's body, Latik immediately understood what it was all about, but even the 'divine wall' can only save you once
How do you know I'm going to be killed by you, Joyka curled the corners of her mouth
Because I am the 'Messenger of Death,' my voice is a message of death again—the last stanza of Latik elongates into a terrifying scream, and then the scream turns into a wail that spreads death
Joika struggled to hold his body in the deadly soundwaves, and he was still standing after the second death wail
Seeing that I had survived again, Joyka looked very proud
How could this be, Latik looked at the stubborn man in front of him in surprise, and it was impossible for anyone who heard the 'wail of death' to do it
Because I can't hear it, Joika stared at Latik and said lightly, as Latik noticed two streams of blood running down her cheeks from Joyka's ears
You pierced your eardrums to resist my wailing, and Latik never imagined that the man in front of him would harm himself
You're right, all in order to defeat you, and Joika tightened the bow and arrow in her hand as she spoke
So how did you hear what I said just now, and this is exactly the question that Latik is puzzled at this time
I didn't hear it, I saw it as I spoke, and arrows tore through the air and pierced Latik's body, because I had learned lip language from my teacher
The fierce castration of the arrow made Latik take a few steps back, and she finally stood firm: I see, then why did you use the unique bow skills of our elven clan to tell me who taught you
Before the words fell, another arrow pounced on Latik, and the banshee fell to the ground, and she crawled into a nearby tuft of grass and ran again, and Joika hurriedly ran to the grass, only to see that the banshee had disappeared
Where to run, Joyka set up his bow and arrows, he knew that the banshee did not run, but hid nearby, the bounty hunter's eyes were like falcons, staring nervously around, at this time he had lost his hearing, and could only rely on his vision to search for the enemy, and the dark self was not very good
Suddenly, Joyka felt a few thin wisps of wind through the woods, and Joyka immediately looked in the direction of the breeze, but found no trace of the banshee, so he continued to search with his eyes, but after a short time he noticed that the abnormal wind did not seem to stop, and the weak wind grew stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a bone-scraping wind
It's not good, it's elemental magic, Joyka immediately realized the problem, since Latik became a necromancer with the body of a banshee, it means that she must have had a certain amount of magic cultivation during her lifetime
Joyka could have detected this potential danger early, but the damage to his sense of hearing greatly reduced his ability to detect danger, and the gale quickly strengthened into a gale, at which point Joika found herself in the center of the raging wind, which tore through his leather armor and sliced his skin like a blade, and his blood flew everywhere in the gale
The wind was getting stronger, and some nearby trees with large bowls were cut into several pieces
No, if the wind is strengthened, sooner or later, I will be split into pieces by the wind blade, Joyka knows that she can support in the center of the wind blade for so long, it is all because the edge of the Mithril alloy longbow in her hand is solid, and when she knocks down this equipment, she specially inlays it with enchanted gems that can attract qi elements, making the arrows shot by this longbow fast and fierce; However, even with the protection of the Mithril Alloy Longbow, it is not a way to go on like this, and after a long time, Joyka will also die in the vortex of the Wind Blade
Joyka had to find a way, and Joika opened her eyes against the strong wind, and the strong wind blew on his eyeballs, causing bursts of pain, and Joika endured the pain to find his target in the wind
Finally, he spotted a vague figure on a large tree fifty meters away—a banshee holding her magic wand high to maintain the power of the wind blade vortex
Joika raised his weapon vigorously, and though the slightest movement in the wind would have caused intense pain, the strong man endured the pain and aimed his trembling longbow at the vague figure, and Joika used all his strength to pull the bowstring full
I heard a scream that pierced the sky, and in the sound of the wind, the Mithril alloy longbow, which gathered a large amount of qi elements, shot an arrow that broke through the air
However, Joika's arrow, with all her might, misses its target, and under the influence of the wind, the arrow staggers to the left side of the banshee
Is it too light, damn it, if only the arrow could be heavier, and suddenly an idea flashed, and Joika moved her gaze to the Mithril longsword pinned to her waist
Replacing the arrow with a sword - this was the way Joyka thought of it, and with great difficulty he drew his long sword and put it on the longbow in an attempt to pull the bowstring away, but the blow he had just fought almost consumed all of his body, and no matter how hard he tried, the bowstring could not move for half a minute
In this difficult resistance, the wind left dozens of terrible scars on his body......
If I can't continue like this, I will definitely die, and there must be a way to calm down and calm down
Suddenly, Joyka fell to the ground on his back, and he held the longbow with his feet in the direction of the banshee, and then pulled the bowstring of the longsword with both hands, and with the joint efforts of all his strength, the bowstring was pulled apart little by little
Boom--flower--a screech that was even stronger than just before rang out again
The battle in the wind ended in an instant, and the banshee who was pierced through the heart by the sword fell from the tree in response, and the wind stopped and weakened into a gale, then into a light wind, a breeze, and finally dissipated into the air, and the small woods were destroyed beyond recognition, and Joyka lay on the ground, he was already completely depleted, and blood quickly poured out under him, forming a pool of blood, and he no longer had the strength to stand up
meanwhile
Julian had seen the cross high above the chapel in the center of the town, and now in his path was a sea of bright red manju sawa flowers.
