Chapter 3 Fighting to the Death

The carriage suddenly began to slow down, and the middle-aged mage made a gesture of listening. Then he replied, "Sage, our Nightmare Beasts must rest, or they won't make it to Blackstone City." ”

"Okay, let's rest. Xiao Chen also happened to want to get out of the car to take a look.

He stepped out of the carriage and found that his carriage was silver, with fairly smooth lines, smaller and flatter than the usual office carriage, but with a more spacious interior, apparently applying space magic. Pulling this car is a strange magical beast, Nightmare Beast. Nightmarmons are almost identical to horses, except for their blue-gray bodies and hair glowing with a halo of red magic that looks like flames burning on their necks and hooves.

There were six carriages in total, and most of them were crowded with four or five people, and although these mages were on the run for their lives, they were in good spirits, and they were indeed the elite of the most glorious era of magic. When they saw the Gomez Sage controlled by Xiao Chen, they saluted one after another, but their attitude was not as respectful as that of the current generation when they saw the Sage. It's more like the attitude of students meeting professors in schools in the past. Xiao Chen finally knew the name of the middle-aged mage from other people's titles: Master Jocano.

The warriors in charge of driving the cart parked the wagon in a clearing on the side of the road and fed the Nightmare Beasts with magic crystals to recharge their energy. Others set up a few sentry posts around it, while others built several bonfires and began to sit down and rest.

Xiao Chen saw that Master Khaled, he was actually an elf, he looked very weak, a swordsman supported him to sit on a rock, and he curled up there with his head in his arms. But the strange thing was that everyone kept a certain distance from him, and behind him there was a great swordsman holding the hilt of his sword, looking at him a little nervously.

Xiao Chen's curiosity was aroused, and he walked up to Master Khalid and asked, "How are you?"

Khalid let go of the two hands holding his head, looked up at Xiao Chen with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Lord Sage, although I haven't slept for seven days, I haven't given up fighting with it. I don't really know if I'll make it to the end, though. ”

"Can you tell me more about your situation, I have forgotten some things since I was in a coma. Xiao Chen told a lie.

"Ahh Its oppression against me is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and I think it is not in particularly good condition, otherwise why would he not strengthen his power in the human world when the war of godslayer is over?" Khalid said with great difficulty.

"God of Nature?" Xiao Chen deduced from his words.

"Of course, this scumbag manipulates my siblings, and as long as he has an idea, it will be difficult for us so-called dependents to resist. It has sent us into the battlefield one by one against our will, into a senseless war. Call this our fate, damn bastard. But fortunately, I'm a mage of the Tower of Dreams, and my meditation space can help me defend against that guy, and I may be the only elf left in this world who can resist his call. Khalid smiled, "It's hard work, though. ”

Xiao Chen looked at the people around him, and although he saw that he and Khalid were talking, no one came.

"Sage, please don't blame them, after all, Lindsay blew herself up, and Coriel didn't succeed in resisting control, and suddenly turned around and killed several of our companions. It's normal for people to be wary of me. Poor Lindsay and Coriel, if they could hold on for a longer half a day, they would definitely be able to survive. I've written a new spell that, by casting this spell, will further resist the manipulation of the gods of nature. ”

"Can you tell me about this spell?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Of course. I hope you can help me correct this magic. Khalid began to narrate the incantation, and Xiao Chen struggled to record it.

"Hope this will work for you. "I really want to rest now," Khalid said, "I really want to rest...... Khalid yawned, and then, suddenly, his eyes froze.

He suddenly felt like someone had choked his neck, his hands around his throat, and he made a ho-ho sound.

"Shit, damn it...... , I only relaxed for a second......" Khalid looked at the sky with a hideous face, and there was a huge amount of energy gathering in his body, "Damn it, I won't give you my most precious freedom!" he recited his self-created incantation aloud over and over again, but the power of the other party seemed to have already penetrated into his will, allowing this tug-of-war to slowly slide into the abyss of defeat.

"You despicable, pretending to be a god, even if I'm the last one, I won't give in, you won't get anything!" Khalid began to gather lightning energy all over his body.

Xiao Chen didn't know what to do, he let go of his control, but Gomez didn't seem to have much to do, just quietly watched Khalid struggle over there. Xiao Chen took back control of his body and glanced at Master Jocano again, who shook his head at him and said, "Lord Sage, the clan has been invaded by the power of the gods, and no one else can save him. The only way to free him is for us to kill him now. ”

Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at the struggling elf with a heavy heart.

At this point, Khalid in the clearing finally reached his limit, just before he was about to lose control of his body. Thick lightning bolts were summoned from the sky, and he removed all magical defenses, allowing electricity to pour into his body, and he quickly burst into flames, turning into charcoal.

"Khalid is so tired that no one can fight like ......this without sleeping or meditating," he said, and Jocano performed a mage salute to the charred corpse in the field. The other mages around him changed their appearance from the elves, approached the place one after another, and saluted.

"Whenever I see a scene like this, I feel like we still have hope. Xiao Chen heard a female voice behind him who couldn't hear her age.

Xiao Chen turned his head to look behind him, and a woman in a brown cloak stood behind him.

He couldn't see the woman's face clearly, and he couldn't sense her bearings. Knowing that she exists here, but not anywhere around, is like wandering on the edge of this world, ready to come in and leave at any time.

The people around him turned a blind eye to this woman, only Jocano, who was the highest in the realm, felt something, but he looked left and right, and found nothing, so he went to arrange for Khaled's burial.

Xiao Chen didn't know who this woman was, so he naturally didn't know how to answer, so he wisely let go of his control over his body.

I only heard Gomez say in a deep voice: "I didn't expect you to show up!
