Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Flame Demon Who Will Divide and The Frightened Newcomer
"It's hard to ...... Could it be that the captain has been ...... by these monsters" The female student, the least daring of the three, subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, and successfully transmitted her fear to the faces of the other two.
The three of them stared at the monster that was slowly walking towards them—it was more than three meters tall, and the body part was a stout skeleton, but it was not bone, but made of solid rock. Beyond this skeleton was a raging flame that enveloped its entire body. The arc jumps between the skeleton's eye sockets and the knuckles of its fingers, accompaniment to the "crackling" sound of its walking. It turned its head and made a crunching sound.
is such a desolate creature full of fantasy colors, awakening the deep fear in the hearts of the three people present.
To them, the monster in front of them looked like a fire demon, as if it was a messenger from hell. These three unlucky bastards had been nervously tense for a long time before, and they happened to run into one of the most shocking looking low-level summoned beasts......
"Split up!" One of the trainees, who had been selected as the acting captain, made a decisive decision on the spot, completely ignoring the previous experience of the previous captain's disappearance, and took the lead in running towards the fork in the road in the opposite direction of the fire demon.
Although I don't know what the terrible thing in front of me is sacred, and why it suddenly appeared here. The other two students reacted immediately and followed their survival instincts. They even burst into a speed that they hadn't run before in training, and they ran into two other intersections in a puff of smoke.
The Firedemon paused, as if dealing with the situation in front of him. Suddenly, its whole body shook a few times, accompanied by the sound of stones rolling, the fire demon actually divided itself into three, each small fire demon had the original one-third of the volume, like a production model after scaling up to the prototype at a ratio of 1:3, but it still looked terrifying.
Then, the three trumpet-sized "mass-produced" flame demons assigned their targets, and continued to take unhurried steps, chasing in the direction of the three of them's escape.
Their pace may seem slow, but it's not slow at all. In fact, they seem to have a solid structure called a rock skeleton, but they are real elemental summons, and it is not surprising that they can split nature.
When they are "walking", if you look closely, you will find that the swing distance of their legs does not match the actual distance they are moving, they are actually floating in the air a few millimeters above the ground, so it is not easy to get rid of these ghost-like fire demons, they often become the main force of wizards to clean up the battlefield.
One of the male students, relying on the advantage of his leg length, ran fast on the fork in the road he chose.
"That guy runs so slowly, even if he chooses to chase me, he wants to catch up with me, wait for the next life!"
He didn't think too much about it along the way, he chose whichever fork in the road was pleasing to his eyes, and although more often than not, there was only one path, but he was convinced that he had left the flaming monster far behind. He even wondered if the guy had come after him, because when he looked back, he couldn't see the shadow of the guy from a long distance. He should have gone back and checked it in the first place, he thought.
There was a new corner in front of him, and he continued to run with all his strength for a while, even as a reformer, he would inevitably feel tired, and he was going to rest there for a while.
Just when he arrived at the corner and was about to relax, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and he observed with his peripheral vision that there seemed to be another figure on the road behind the corner.
He looked over, only to see a large face in front of him, a skull made of rocks, wrapped in flames, with arcs of electricity jumping in his eye sockets......
Due to the changing nature of the labyrinth, the AI that controls both the labyrinth and the summoning beast phantom simply made this unlucky guy go around in a big circle, he thought he had gotten rid of the threat far away, but he just sent himself back to the fire demon again, and the result was naturally a monster around the corner.
On the other side, the first female student who yelled and disturbed people's hearts had not yet run far before she hid behind a broken wall that protruded from the wall, hoping that the terrible monster would not come looking for her, and even if she did, she would walk over and not find herself.
Every second of the time I huddled behind an obstacle was torment, because I didn't know what was going on outside or what was going on with the others.
So she began to poke her head out from time to time, quietly glancing at the outside world, and when she saw that nothing had happened, she would breathe a sigh of relief for a while. But it didn't take long for me to feel hairy in my heart again, so I couldn't help but glance at it quietly......
"You must have passed, or you haven't found me......," she reassured herself, and then, poking her head out again, hoping to calm her pounding heartbeat with the safety of the outside world.
Nothing, she reassured and withdrew her gaze. And in the next second, she felt a little strange, and when she turned around, she found that at some point, a fierce little flame demon was already standing behind her.
The student who was the acting captain of the team sensed that something was wrong with this after the order to split up was given, after all, the captain disappeared after he was separated from everyone. But the order that had already been given could not be taken back, and escaping separately at that time did improve the overall chances of survival for the trio, at least usually.
So, what happened to the captain, was he really given by this monster...... What's that? He pondered, the accuracy of this conjecture was still questionable, but it was better to believe it than to believe it, the monster felt too dangerous.
Speaking of which, why hasn't that monster been heard from anymore? I was still making a sound, didn't I really come after me?
He looked around, but he didn't see the figure of the fire demon, so he breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps, he really went to chase the other two people, right? I hope they are safe too.
Suddenly, he felt something strange on the wall beside him, he had been following the wall on his right since just now, and then he remembered that he seemed to have not had a fork in the road on his right since just now!
What does this mean? He raised his head as if he felt something, and found that on the top of the wall 20 meters above his head, the skull of the "mass-produced" fire demon was looking at him, and this monster actually followed him all the way above his head, and at this time, this "mass-produced" fire demon suddenly jumped down......
