Chapter 9: The Noise Disperses (I)

With the chanting of the incantation, a raging fire manifested in Jude's hands, and was projected into the massive black mass above the middle of the lake.

As one of the school's most prestigious signature spells, the Fireball Technique, despite its slow and expensive casting, never disappointed the boys.

After the successful cast, Jude followed the trajectory of the fireball, expecting the damaging effect of the spell, only to find that the blazing flame had not yet approached the entropy demon and suddenly disillusioned and disappeared without a trace.

The boy was incomprehensible, even if he threw himself into the lake water, the fireball technique could explode air blasts and layer waves, but at this time, it disappeared instantly without warning, and it failed to cause any practical effect.

After calming down, Jude realized that this might be some kind of powerful protective spell, after all, the opponent was a transcendent being like the Entropy Demon.

Since you're dealing with protective spells, you should first try to dispel. Quickly changing his strategy, the boy chanted the mantra of the veto:

β€œAnsec veto trodvos sortune!”

Rejection is one of the classic spells of the School of Prophecy, which can remove the persistent effects of spells and dispel persistent spells of opponents, such as protective spells, so it is often used in confrontations between casters.

Experienced mages often use spells to protect themselves, and this spell was highlighted by Mr. Stan Xiu in his magic class, but Jude didn't take it to heart at first.

After the snow fell, recalling the dilemma of being unable to do anything about Modres's soul armor, Jude took the time to learn this practical spell from his teacher's magic notes.

Aiming at the pitch-black object as the target, he recited the incantation in its entirety, and the transparent phantom light flashed, and seeing that the dispel seemed to have taken effect, the boy immediately cast a secret star projectile and shot it towards the center of the lake.

However, the starballs that radiated brilliance also disillusioned and disappeared without a trace before they could get close to the entropy demon.

Could it be that it is a continuous protection spell? or some kind of guided protective force field? Similar to Mordras's defensive strategy, Jude once again adjusts his countermeasures and tries to cast a spell against the entropy demon, but it still has no effect.

"Looks like your spells can't deal with it. Roy walked beside him with a steady pace, "It's an anti-magic field, and ordinary spells can't work in it. ”

As a mage himself, Jude looked at the tavern owner who was preoccupied with channeling spells, maybe Reda had a way to break through this anti-magic field, but at the moment he obviously had no time to withdraw.

"The only way to break through is by physical means. Moving his gaze away from the boy to the pitch-black mass in the middle of the lake, Roy calmly recounted, "However, the negative energy field around the Entropy Demon will undoubtedly kill anyone who comes close. ”

"It's too dangerous. Jude remembered the hunting bow he had left in the tavern room, which might have come in handy if he had brought it before, but regretting it now would have helped, "Approaching that mass is tantamount to suicide...... And we don't fly either. ”

"This is my red sword, called Turbulence/Chaos. Roy stood in front of him with his sword drawn from its sheath, his gaze wandering back and forth over the body of the crimson dagger, "Caias is a steel sword of Isetello with a long history and a great and restless power. It has been with me for many years, has gone through half a lifetime of wind and frost, and has drunk countless ...... blood"

"If I don't make it back, I'll give you this sword, treat it well, Jude. Use its power carefully, once this sword is unsheathed, the end is bound to be destruction and chaos. ”

"Wait, what are you going to do?" the other party's words seemed very wrong, and the young man immediately persuaded, "Mexia is still waiting for you to go back, don't be impulsive, maybe there is another way......

"There's no time. Roy interrupted Jude, "I'm getting old, and it's time to pay for my sins." But you're different, Jude, you're still young, and there's a future life and journey ahead of you. ”

"You will be remembered forever, Roy. The figure of the middle-aged man in front of him suddenly became inexplicably tall in the eyes of the young man, "You are the savior of Ochedant, the ......"

"No, I must be forgotten. Roy interrupted Jude again, "Take my sword and go to the lord to claim the reward, and tell him that Smokad is dead and that the Red Turban Brotherhood will never appear again." Away from the fear of the robbers, the inhabitants of Euchedant can regain a peaceful life. ”

"Take care of Mejia for me. Staring into the boy's eyes, Roy slowly lowered the scabbard into Jude's hand, and said in a calm tone, "Let her live quietly in a remote village away from the killing, away from the hustle and bustle." ”

"Can it be done?"

Roy's question made it difficult for the boy to answer for a while, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, this kind of action was almost the same end, but now someone had to do it, either himself or Roy.

Jude looked around, saw the almost unsustainable Reda, saw the entropy demon that was violently deformed as if it was about to break free, and finally nodded solemnly.

"I wasn't mistaken. With that, Roy smiled like never before.

Before the boy could be surprised, a figure in his vision jumped up and struck at the pitch-black object above the center of the lake with a crimson streamer.

In the dim cavern, only the crimson was so dazzling and dazzling, as if it had changed the color of the heavens and the earth, and the noise in the ears seemed to be singing in unison.

A fierce wind suddenly blew in his face, and Jude stumbled to the ground, and all the noise fell silent.

When the wind cleared, the boy noticed that the cavern seemed to be a little brighter than before, and the huge black object over the middle of the lake was gone, not even a remnant of it, as if it had never appeared, and Roy's figure disappeared without a trace.

Only the crimson short sword, drawing countless arcs and whirls in the air, finally plunged into the lakeside not far in front of Jude.

Some abruptly stood up, and the boy stumbled up to the sword and pulled it out of the stone. The short sword was about two and a half feet (75 cm) long, about the width of a black sword, and the red blade faintly shone with a strange red light.

Taking a deep breath, Jude carefully sheathed the red sword, looked sideways at Reda, and found that the other party's face was pale, probably due to the previous heavy consumption.

"It's over, it's all over. The tavernkeeper's expression was complicated, as if he had survived the catastrophe, "This time is really dangerous, the entropy demon is still not easy to deal with, and it is almost all over." ”

"I'm sorry for Roy, but someone had to make a sacrifice just now. Reda took a few deep breaths and gradually relaxed, "Finally, the town is at peace again. Let's go, let's go back to the tavern. ”

Roy's last entrustment weighed the boy's heart, and he was about to say yes, but the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble violently without warning, just as the Entropy Demon had first appeared.

It's unbelievable, but all the hard work and sacrifice has not been able to defeat it?

"Wouldn't it?" Jude struggled to his feet, "The Entropy Demon is back?"
