Chapter 33: Escape from Durham

Enoch used almost all of his strength to press Quiai into the saddle, and the mage kept resisting the warrior's attempts to put her in the saddle, much to the warrior's chagrin. "Listen, Quiai, if Fern hadn't asked me to take you out of here, I'd have thrown you where I was, and rushed up to save him myself!"

Miluria on the side couldn't stand it anymore, the scout was still calm, and said lightly, "Even if we wait there, we can't help, it will make him even more uneasy, the best choice we can do is to escape from Durham and go to Bainbridge to wait for him." ”

"No, I'm coming back to him!" Quiai was still throwing a tantrum.

"No, since there are demons here, then there must be one near Durham, we need to stay away from here and go to Bainbridge, and Fern must have taken this into account before letting us go there. Enoch firmly rejected Queay's idea, and the warrior stepped onto his horse and held his sword in his hand. "Ready, we've got a few more levels to get out of here, so you'd better be prepared to protect yourself. ”

The scout took out his short bow and hung it on his body, holding the dagger tightly in his hand. "Let's go, they'll find it sooner or later. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound from the roof of the stable, and a few straws fell from the roof. "Hell, there's an ambush, run!" Enoch slapped his mount's buttocks so hard that the horse was suddenly startled and sprang out at breakneck speed, nearly knocking the warrior to the ground. Queai and Miruria hurriedly flapped their mounts desperately and chased after them. The three of them had just run ten yards away from the stable, when they heard a bang from behind, and the entire building collapsed, and a black figure came out of the rubble and chased after them.

"Don't look back, keep going, follow me!" Enoch caught a glimpse of the dark shadow out of the corner of his eye, and quickly turned his head away, but a cold sweat was already breaking out of his back.

The three of them quickly walked through the chaotic castle square, which had now gradually calmed down, and several corpses were scattered on the ground, some were soldiers in shirts, some were helpless maids. There were many more wounded who lay on the ground in agony, blood spilled all over the ground.

"The Seven Gods have cursed you, Demon!" Enoch cursed fiercely, and rode his companion through the square to the gate. Suddenly, there was another frightened shout from the front of the gate, "Faceless! a faceless one!!", and a small group of soldiers who wanted to regain the gate retreated towards the three of them, including some of the maids they had rescued on the way, and Queai was surprised to find that Natalei, the steward, was among them.

"We must get around!" Enoch repressed his mount, ready to travel in the other direction.

"No, Enoch, we must save them, or they will all be killed. Quiai shouted to stop the warrior. "Since you are from the Frontier Country, there must be a way to deal with a Faceless One, please, only this time, except this time, I will definitely go with you to Bainbridge. ”

Enoch hesitated to glance at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, the fearful cries of the maids beating inside him. "Okay, just this once, but if there's more than one demon, I'll leave without hesitation, understand?"

Quiai nodded vigorously, pulled out his wand, and prepared for battle.

The group hurried their horses over the crowd from one side to the other and stood in front of them, Quiai chanted a quick incantation, and a wall of fire stood between his side and the demon, and in the flames, the demon's terrifying face appeared and disappeared, and just a glance, the mage felt that his mind began to slow down, and his hands and feet began to stiffen.

"Don't look at his eyes, head to the ground, look at his feet out of the corner of your eye!" Enoch shouted to Quea, pushing her so hard that he nearly pushed her off his horse.

The violent shaking brought Quiai back to his senses, and the mage quickly lowered his head and looked at the ground in front of him.

Look at his feet, but how can he see clearly, and even if he sees at such a close distance, he only needs one step to rush in front of me and stab me in the heart with a sword. Quiai searched the ground in front of her in fear, not because of the demon's special abilities, but because of the mage's own inner fear.

"Miruria, in front of you to the left!" the warrior shouted, and the sound of the bowstring flicking rang out, and almost at the same time, the angry roar of the demon reached everyone's ears, and he was shot. The terrifying screams of the demons resounded through the night sky and startled the trio's mounts, and the horses raised their front hooves in the air, tossing the riders on their backs to the ground. Enoch and Miruria rolled around on the ground, half-crouching on the ground and continuing to pay attention to the ground in front of them, as Quiesch cast his flying spell and leaped into the air before falling, landing in front of the Dayton. The mage was so flustered that she couldn't concentrate on the ground, as if the demon would stab her with a sword at any moment. Kui Ai indiscriminately cast the fire wall technique, sealing the fan-shaped area in front of him with three fire walls, and then he felt a little safe.

"Enoch is here, on your right!Raise your sword!" The sound of the two swords colliding sounded, and the cooperation between the scout and the warrior was almost seamless, and the two kept wrestling with the demon, and the demon was unable to break through the defense line they formed for a while.

At this moment, the last soldier of the crowd let out a scream, and everyone immediately scattered and fled, Kui Ai subconsciously looked back, only to see another black shadow slowly walking from behind, each step was firmly stepped into the dirt, he was not in a hurry, because he knew that the prey in front of him could no longer take a step. Quiai tried to shout Enoch and Miruria's names, but his throat felt like he was being choked so tightly that he couldn't make a sound.

Enoch had noticed the situation, and the warrior cursed loudly, motioning for Miruria to come and help Quiai, but the scout shook his head in refusal. "Hell, get over here, Miruria, leave me alone, I promised Fern to take Queay to Bainbridge, and I won't break my promise even if I die!"

"Your left!" the scout shouted, and the warrior subconsciously raised his sword to fend off, the blade of which shimmered with a dark glow in the light of the wall of fire, and Enoch used his warrior's experience to fend off the demon's four attacks. But before the scout could shoot an arrow that forced the demon back, the Faceless's sword slashed under the warrior's left side, and although the warrior had pulled back as hard as he could, blood still seeped out of his torn clothes.

On the other side, the demon was only ten yards away from Quiai, but the mage had nothing to do. Seven gods, am I going to die here today?Fern, save me! I don't want to die! The demon's face looked at the prey in front of her in pain and struggled, and the mutilated face showed an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, which made the mage feel even more terrified, and tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes.

Suddenly, the figure of a plump woman pounced on the demon. "You promised to leave as soon as you found those people, and you promised that you would never hurt anyone else, why...... Why did you kill so many people, they are all innocent!" The demon didn't expect that someone would dare to take the initiative to attack him, and he was immediately hugged by the woman and took several steps back. The Faceless One stood up and pushed the woman away, and the woman's courage had run out, and she turned in horror to run away, her mouth wide open at Quiai, as if she was about to shout something, and Queai saw that it was Natalei. But the steward never had a chance to shout again, and the demon's sword arced through the air, and Natalei's back was hit hard, and the whole person rushed forward, staring at Quiai with frightened eyes, and his right hand stretched out weakly forward, and his face fell down. Blood splattered from the woman's back, quickly staining the dirt around the corpse red, and the Daytons on the side saw the tragic scene in front of them, and the cries immediately resounded in the sky.

The demon continued to walk towards Quiai, getting closer and closer, but he was in no hurry to kill the mage, the Faceless One was already standing in front of the mage, and Quiai's head trembled uncontrollably, tears streaming down his cheeks. Fern, help me!

The Faceless stretched out his sword and slowly placed it on Quiai's left side of his neck, and the mage, realizing that his life was about to die in the next moment, tried to close his eyes weakly, but she couldn't do even this small action. The demon admires the beautiful prey in front of him, and a hoarse laugh comes out of his throat, as creepy as a sharp object cutting through metal, and the hand holding the sword tightens the hilt.

At that moment, a strong figure slammed into him from the left side of the demon, and the Faceless One was caught off guard and flew away with a solid sturdy. The figure was so strong that even the demon couldn't resist it, and it rolled twice on the ground before slowly standing up. A middle-aged man stood in front of the mage, holding an unpretentious long sword in his right hand and pushing the mage away with his left hand. "Go and help those two, they can't hold it anymore, use your magic to block the Spirit's vision, and then get out of here with them right away! You don't have to worry about the rest of the people here, I promise you they'll be fine, go!"

Queai was pushed away by the man, and she regained her senses, and she wanted to say something, but seeing that the man did not avoid the demon's gaze, but looked directly at the Faceless One, knowing that she was just a burden to him here, she turned around and ran towards Miruria step by step.

"Are you alright? It's great, I'll talk about that later, we're in big trouble right now. The scout kept his head down, searching ahead.

Enoch leaned over as well, and the warrior hissed incessantly, a wound to his ribs that prevented him from fighting with all his might. "We've got to find a way, Quiai, we've got to go, now there's two demons, we've got to go, we can't save the innocent Daytons, we have to choose to keep ourselves. ”

"I know the people of Dayton don't have to worry about us. Ignoring the puzzled eyes of his companions, the mage lowered his head and began to cast the spell, and suddenly the sand and rocks flew in front of the three of them, and even the dirt cracked, and the demon in front of him was unstable, fell to the ground, and let out a vicious howl. The sand kept attacking the demon, making it impossible for him to move forward for a while.

"Quick! now, get on your horse, let's go!" Enoch resisted the pain, ran to his mount and jumped up, his ribs hurting and his teeth grinned, tears almost hurting him, and the warrior pulled the reins of the arrow and rode to Queai's side. "Quick, Quiai!"

The mage finally waved his hands, and several layers of dust floated from the ground, and they all struck at the demon, forcing him to raise his hand to cover his face. Quiai took the opportunity to fly on horseback, and the three of them hurriedly rushed to the gate with their mounts, and the mage finally glanced back at the middle-aged man, only to see that he was fighting fiercely with the demon, not only did he not avoid the demon's sight, but what shocked the mage even more was that he was actually in the upper hand, constantly attacking, and the demon could only be tired of defense. Who the hell was he?, with this question in mind, the three of them rushed out of the confines of the castle.

When the sand subsided, the Faceless Man lowered his hand, the three prey in front of him were gone, and the angry roar was heard again, and he refocused on the middle-aged man. The man had just kicked the demon he was fighting against him when he noticed another demon coming towards him, and he regained his grip on his sword, flipping it in his hand. "Very well, I haven't been so excited in a long time, come on, let you taste the strength of the Oberyn heirs. ”
