Chapter 160: The Truth Revealed?
Again?
Su Wen, who had not yet left the command office, also learned of the appearance of the cloaked man at the first time, so he followed the large army to the infirmary where the crime occurred.
Although he also wanted to leave first, but under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, it was a little inappropriate to take off casually. What's more, the news from Ellie is also chasing the murderer, and there are no serious consequences for the time being.
But the speed of this large group of people is not slow, and in front of these high-level people, there are also several teams that have rushed to the scene of the crime.
By the time Su Wen and the others arrived at the infirmary, the scene had been controlled.
There were already a few gold and platinum beginner powerhouses who chased them out in the direction they pointed, but the news from Ellie was that the cloaked man had fled to the mountains in the northwest.
This position is exactly the opposite direction of what they are chasing.
Su Wen thought about it for a while, but decided to rush over to support Ellie.
After all, on the mountain over there, there is a second training ground that he has carefully built, and it would be a pity if it was destroyed by the battle between the two.
After fleeing for a while, the Cloaked Man seemed to realize that Ellie was the only one catching up, so he stopped, turned his head and shot several purple magic throwing knives, apparently to engage Ellie head-on.
Prepared for this, Ellie dodged the knife and landed on the ground, then ran towards the cloaked man.
Ellie's long-range attacks are too few, and they are almost useless against a powerhouse of the Cloaker's level, so she can only keep getting closer, seeking opportunities for hand-to-hand combat.
And the cloaked man naturally saw Ellie's fighting style, first widening the distance, and then releasing more than a dozen chains of purple magic energy, sweeping towards Ellie from all directions.
Since the last time she was bound by Eden's chains, Ellie had thought about how she would fight against her control opponents, so she used constant jumps and rolls to dodge the chains, so that all of the Cloaker's attacks were missed. But Ellie herself did not close the distance between herself and the Cloaker, but let the Cloaker pull the distance even further, and conjured up the purple giant claws that restrained Ellie.
The two sides were once again entangled.
Because Ellie is now a fully armored black knight, she is more open than last time when fighting, and she can barely compete with the cloaker.
If it weren't for the purple chains that swept from all angles from time to time, Ellie would have been close to the Cloaker.
Ellie's first round of offensive was over, and she stopped the rhythm of the attack a little and regained her strength, but the cloaked man still maintained the same appearance as before, and it seemed that the battle just now did not have a great impact on him.
However, the Cloaked Man did not take this opportunity to step up his counterattack on Ellie, but stayed still, so that Ellie could not predict his next move.
"Hey, do you know Su Wen?"
Ellie had a flash of inspiration and suddenly asked.
The same aura that the cloaked man and Su Wen have, Ellie will never admit that she is wrong, if the identity of the murderer is limited to "people Su Wen knows", then the identity of the murderer will naturally be revealed. In addition, it is necessary to see if the other side will show any flaws because of this problem.
However, the cloaked man remained in his original position, showing no signs of wavering.
Isn't it useful?
Ellie found that she was still thinking too simply.
I thought that through that common breath, I could determine the identity of the murderer...... But at least, it can be confirmed that the murderer and Su Wen have something in common, even if they don't know each other.
In the middle of this mountain, Ellie thought of Su Wen's second training ground, maybe that kind of aura came from the second training ground? This murderer usually hides in it...... So he has the same breath as Su Wen.
Or, because Su Wen usually likes to run to the library, this murderer is usually hidden in the library, or simply pretending to be a library staff?!
But this is only one of Ellie's many conjectures, and the most important thing at the moment is to defeat the cloaked man in front of her.
So, Ellie attacked again.
This time, Ellie's pitch-black armor has a little more red lines.
So when he fought with the purple giant claw, the impact was actually a little smaller.
When Su Wen rushed to the bottom of the mountain, he could already see the firelight flying everywhere on the mountainside, and at the same time, the giant claw that emitted a purple shimmer was also in Su Wen's eyes.
With each swing of the giant claw, Su Wen could vaguely see a human figure jumping up and down in pitch black.
It's Ellie, no doubt.
Su Wen wasn't worried about what damage Ellie would receive for the time being, but watching the two of them fight more and more towards the second training ground next to them, Su Wen became a little nervous.
After all, it was a site that had taken a lot of effort to build, and if they destroyed it, it would have to take days to rebuild......
Thinking of this, Su Wen quickened his pace to rush over.
Since Su Wen didn't hide his aura, the cloaked man quickly discovered this Su Wen who was rushing here.
In the eyes of the Cloaker, this person who came over was only about the strength of the silver level, but he had extremely high speed, and for the sake of caution, the Cloaker gradually turned his offensive into a defensive position, relying on more and more purple chains and throwing knives to force Ellie out of his safe range.
"Su Wen! He's the murderer!"
Of course, Ellie also felt Su Wen's approach, and after retreating, she hurriedly shouted to Su Wen.
"Can't you figure it out?" After Su Wen blurted out, he realized that his question was a bit redundant, so before Ellie retorted, he added, "Okay, then I'll come." ”
As he spoke, Su Wen took two steps forward and released three wind blades.
One severed the sweeping chains, one cut off the cloaker's giant purple claws, and the last cut into the cloaker's cloak, saying that the cloak was split in two—if it weren't for the cloaker's quick reaction, it wouldn't be just the cloak that split in two.
The simple and direct three wind blades, for the first time, forced the cloaked man, who could be equal to Ellie, into an embarrassing situation.
Ellie was only slightly surprised by this, but the cloaked man was different, and judging from his appearance, it seemed that he had not expected this ordinary young man who was obviously only at the silver level to release such a terrifying magic.
The three wind blades were initially effective, and Su Wen released the second round of wind blades again.
This second round of Wind Blade locked the Cloaked Man in the middle, leaving him with no way to escape.
The cloaked man seemed to have no choice, and after looking around, he made a move that surprised the two of them - ripped off his somewhat broken cloak.
A few strands of hair fell from the faded cloak, revealing the face of the owner.
This is a young woman, a young woman who makes Su Wen somewhat familiar.
Su Wen couldn't be surprised, and hurriedly controlled the deflection track of the wind blades, and when these wind blades were about to cut to the woman, they were forced to one side, leaving deep cuts on the ground around her.
"Yumi!?"
"Do you really know each other!?"
At this time, Yumi's eyes flashed with a purple glow, but his expression was not relaxed.
"Why do you want to stop me?"
"Is it wrong to stop you from killing??"
"Murder?" Yumi said, stunned.
As soon as the words fell, somewhere in the academy, a huge magical light suddenly exploded, as if something had exploded.
And the center of the explosion was the location of the infirmary.
