The shield in his hand blocked a heavy blow in time, and the short sword in his right hand stabbed out as fast as possible, directly piercing the chest of the Sinking Demon, and after eliminating the dark creature that suddenly rushed out from the side to sneak attack him, Ethan quickly drew back the short sword and rearranged his posture to meet the next round of attacks.

"Well done, Ethan, you're making fast progress. ”

It's been a long time since he left Rog's camp, and along the way, he didn't deliberately avoid dangerous enemies like Ethan did before, and even took the initiative to meet them and destroy all the dark creatures he saw.

In just half a day, they eliminated a dozen hard-haired mice, more than two dozen zombies, and an unknown number of sunken demons.

As the distance from the camp grew, the dark creatures encountered not only slowly became more difficult, but also more numerous.

This time they encountered a small tribe of Fallen Demons of a few dozen people, and there were at least three Fallen Magicians mixed in there, and Issandra and Zur listed those three mages as the first target to kill, and then slowly cleaned up these miscellaneous soldiers who did not have mages as backups.

For these two powerful mages, even with melee combat, it would not be difficult for them to eliminate these dozens of Sinking Demons, and the only thing to pay attention to was Ethan's safety.

They did not object to Ethan's sudden offer to join them in destroying the dark creatures of the evil cave, and even welcomed them.

"All those who aspire to fight against demons are our companions. ”

The strength of the strength is not within the range of their care, even if Ethan is weak, they are willing to take him with them to destroy the darkness.

Even along the way, the two mages deliberately exercised against Ethan: for example, when encountering scattered zombies, Ethan would solve them by himself, and when encountering a large team, they would deliberately put a few weak miscellaneous soldiers to Ethan, so that he could get actual combat training.

This time was the same, after eliminating the most threatening Sinking Wizard at the first time and controlling the situation on the field, the two mages deliberately let a few Fallen Demons scatter in all directions, allowing them to launch a sneak attack on Ethan.

They were not worried about Ethan's death, and through this period of understanding, both of them had a clear understanding of Ethan's strength.

In addition, they themselves are legal professions that cultivate spiritual power, and they are even more clear about the physical changes brought about by the improvement of spiritual power.

Ethan's mental power has now improved, and his mental reaction speed has surpassed that of ordinary people, and when he concentrates on his mental strength, there will be a feeling that the opponent's movements have slowed down.

For example, when the Rasma priests were just beginning to learn melee combat, this trait became almost their greatest dependence. Excellent mental reflexes allow them to grasp their opponents' movements well, and their abundant and strong mental power also allows them to think of ways to deal with them in a very short time.

The only thing that restricts their melee ability is the speed of their bodies' reactions.

Ethan is now facing the same trouble, fortunately his body is a young seventeen-year-old boy, the teenagers' physical strength may be insufficient, but the reaction speed is definitely at the peak of life, and the flexibility is much stronger than that of adults, so they can barely keep up with their mental speed and make appropriate countermeasures to kill the enemy.

After a period of training, Ethan has improved from defending against the enemy's sneak attacks to the level of counter-killing, even if the opponent is just some weak Sinking Demon Miscellaneous Soldiers, it is a huge improvement.

Even if they are weak Sinking Demon Miscellaneous Soldiers, their strength is equivalent to that of an adult strong man. They move even faster, and can easily escape from some of the hulking humans. And being able to kill the Sinking Demon independently proves that Ethan's current combat power has surpassed the level of ordinary people.

Having slain the last few Demons of Destruction, Ethan stood still and took a deep breath - the air filled with the aura of darkness and the foul smell of the Demons of Destruction was not very good, but it gave Ethan a heartfelt joy: every time he was able to make or hold on to the end of the battle, it was something to be happy about.

"You're progressing faster than I expected. I wonder why you have such qualifications, why you haven't started to become a real mage apprentice at such an old age?"

A real mage apprentice is an apprentice who can initially master some introductory small magic, and can even help his teacher to carry out some trivial magic experiments in the early preparations, although he is an apprentice, he is no longer an ordinary person, and he is an existence that has truly mastered the power of magic.

Some of the young people who are favored by the mage and take with them to teach are rare at such an age and have not yet started - but the disciples who can be favored by the mage are born with strong spiritual power, and most of them only need to practice the control of mental power, and then directly begin to condense their magic power.

"Because I just started to really get into magic a while ago. ”

Ethan looked at the short sword in his hand as he answered the question, the weapon that Kasha had given him was now at the end of its life - the curled and broken blade, the blade that was not long was shortened because the tip of the sword had been broken, and the only thing that was intact was the hilt.

This was technically his first weapon memorable, but now it was no longer even worth collecting, and the tattered blade had been twisted to the point that it could not even be inserted into the scabbard, so it had to be discarded.

"There's a lot of Fallen Demon collection here, so you can see if you have any handy weapons. ”

Unlike the two mages, they both have their own weapons, such as Issandra's staff of sticks, which can be used directly when necessary, and Issandra's sticks are not showmanship, but can be used to fight demons.

Zur's exclusive weapon is a strangely shaped dagger, which is said to be the exclusive personal equipment of the Rasma priests, and is shared by every priest. This dagger can be used in a variety of ways, not only for melee combat, but also to assist in spellcasting. It's just that at the moment, Zur didn't use it, but instead used magic to create a long bone scythe, if he changed into a black hooded robe, to match that gloomy and terrifying temperament......

"Can't you use your magic to make me a longsword or something?"

"This kind of magic requires a constant infusion of mana to maintain form, and it also carries my personal spiritual imprint, which you can't use. ”

Ethan nodded, and began to search for weapons in the chaotic camp.

Most of the short knives and sticks used by the Fallen Demon on the ground were rough and crude, and they didn't look much better than his own short sword.

After looking around, Ethan could only choose a wooden stick that looked fairly sturdy.

Seeing that he had chosen a 'new weapon', several people were ready to move on. They were not far from the Evil Cave, and they could already see the outline of the entrance to the Evil Cave at the end of their sight.

It is precisely because of such proximity that there is such a huge camp of the Fallen Demon here.

"Huh?"

Within a few steps, Isandrola stopped the two of them, and then picked up an iron rod from a nearby rock.

"This thing ......"

With a few waves of his hand, the whirring wind seemed to tell everyone the weight of the iron rod, and the sudden electric light followed showed his extraordinary.

"Ha, you're in luck. ”

Issandra handed the iron rod in her hand to Ethan: "Throw away the firewood in your hand, you can use this." ”

"What is this?"

Ethan, of course, saw the flash of lightning, and knew that it was not an ordinary iron rod, but it was covered with sludge and grass blades, and the iron rod was more desolate than the wooden rod, and he really couldn't tell what kind of weapon it was.

It was the well-informed Zur who first saw the weapon itself: "If I'm not mistaken, it's a one-handed warhammer." ”

"Warhammer?" Ethan had seen a one-handed hammer at Chasi, the blacksmith, "Where's the hammer?"

Issandra spread her hands: "It should be broken, this is the second half of the one-handed hammer...... That is, the torso part that connects the hammer head to the handle part. ”

Hearing only this, you might think that Issandra is teasing Ethan, what's the good of a broken weapon, so the mage immediately explained: "Don't think that without a hammer, it's not as good as the wooden stick in your hand. It's a piece of magical equipment. ”

Ethan nodded, he also thought of this, after all, the electric light that had just flashed was not an illusion. It's just that, without the hammer head, this magic equipment has been damaged, can it still exert its due power?

"You don't have to worry about not being able to exert its power, I just tested it, and although the magic engraved in it has been damaged and cannot exert its full power, most of the magic can still be used. ”

No matter how much she said, she told Ethan how to inject his mental power and how to use this magical equipment correctly.

With the injection of spiritual power, finding the 'switch' in the iron rod, the iron rod held by Ethan suddenly flashed with dazzling electric light, and the flickering arc kept jumping on the iron rod, and the sudden release of electricity made even Zur, a powerful necromancer, involuntarily take a step back.

"Oh, it seems to be pretty powerful, but what kind of magic is attached to this piece of equipment?"

At that moment just now, the beating electric light hit Zuer's body, causing his body, which was protected by white bone armor and powerful magic power, to feel a tingling sensation, if it was replaced by an ordinary person......

"It's supposed to be a very powerful thunderbolt spell, but the final shaping and casting part of the magic spell should be engraved on the hammer head, and I don't know which magic it is without seeing the hammer head. ”

So, this is a stick that is capable of self-discharging. Fortunately, this stick will automatically absorb the energy that is free in the vicinity to replenish the mana and store it. Ethan only needs to use mental power to trigger, and the iron rod will automatically convert the stored magic power into thunder and lightning to cast.

"So, this thing is an electric baton?"
