Volume VII, Chapter 29

The night faded completely, and the short, long night finally ended.

Lovian was sweating profusely in the cold air, and now he was in desperate need of water and food. Although the Dark Essence was able to maintain his physical strength, prolonged dehydration would lead to a fatal mental trance.

As the owner of a pure dark constitution, Lovian had never felt so eager for light. As the sun rose extremely slowly, the speed of the Shadow gradually slowed down, and Luo Weian slowly struggled out of the pain of his overdraft body, and finally got a chance to condense the water element in the air to replenish his body.

The fangs and claws, the strange and grinding teeth of the Shadow showed a translucent and illusory gray-black color in the sunlight, and the skeletal appearance had a mechanical monotonous but incomprehensibly fast speed. It wasn't that Lovian hadn't tried to repel the Shadowmen, but after discovering that his Dark Essence not only had no effect on the Shadowmen, but also seemed to speed up the Shadowmen, he completely dismissed the chance of confronting the Shadowmen head-on. According to Harmaniya's reminder, only a large amount of blood filled with life elements can melt this monster between living and non-living beings.

According to this theory, healing magic that has the nature of resonance with life should also have the effect of restraining the Shadows, just now, Lovian used a few small magic spells of dark healing, and even used the light healing techniques in the memory crystals given by the Rowena magician, but before the healing techniques took effect, the magic energy used was absorbed by the Shadowmen. Worried that the absorption of too strong magic power guide zhì himself would not be able to be digested by the shadow man, Luo Wei'an rationally stopped his own actions. Wait for the ethereal moment from the outside world.

After a night of pursuit, Lovian had completely lost his sense of direction. At this moment he had left the established route, and the forest had long since disappeared from his view. Now he was in a vast, almost wasteland steppe. Running in this desolate natural environment, there is a kind of desolate poetry, and Luo Wei'an panicked at his rare poetic complex, and hurried to bury his head in the road. After the use of tracking techniques was no longer necessary, a dozen meters of dim yellow smoke rose behind him. The Shadowman floated silently behind him, as if no matter how fast Lovien was, he would never lose his prey.

Detect changes in air pressure. Lovian felt like he should be deep on a plateau. According to his own recollection of a map of the continent, this may be some corner of the Wolf Plateau, the largest plateau on the mainland. And in the extreme west, the most magnificent Sky Wolf Mountain Range on the continent can be faintly seen. In my memory, the north side of the Sky Wolf Mountain Range is the territory of the wolf clan from the hero of the human race, the god of war Ai'an.

"It's all here......" The two crystal nuclei in Lovian's body were already spinning extremely fast. But his connection with the crystal nucleus of the third lesson is still far away. But I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He also didn't believe that he would be able to awaken the memories of the third-level ability in his body so quickly.

As the sun rises, so does the speed of the Shadowmen. Finally, even Lovian's simple walking speed could leave the Shadowman behind. After the long-awaited noon, Shadowman finally stopped. The gray-black body appears transparent in the sunlight, as if it is a crystal skeleton carved from smoke crystal.

Luo Wei'an then lay down on the ground without an image, and fell asleep, leaving all his vigilance behind. Hours of rapid marching nearly brought down Lovian. He is now in desperate need of physical recovery.

The stinging sensation of the rich light element at noon did not wake Lovian, who was lying on the ground with his legs spread out and his mouth long. It is easy to attract vultures to watch. However, the aura of the superior in the former Blood Moon Venerable Biosphere discouraged those ordinary animals, even the demonic beasts that walked on the plateau.

On the flat plateau, a man walked in the distance.

The qiē he did was very special, but it also made his identity as a magician clear, and he shook his wrist and sprinkled strange incense powder into the sky. A blue or white symbol appeared above his head, and the surrounding water vapor immediately converged, forming a vivid blister in front of him. Immediately, he gathered the blisters into a strange transparent bottle. He repeated this series of movements over and over again, and did not pause for a moment even when he saw a man in poor clothes lying on the ground not far away.

Soon, however, he noticed something special, and around the man in the torn clothes, the light was noticeably dimmer than in other directions, as more dark elements were concentrated around him, forming a vague barrier. This is not a deliberately maintained arrangement of dark elements, but because his constitution has naturally resonated with the dark elements around him. According to his understanding, the people who can resonate with the elements are none other than strong men who are proficient in the control of power—and he immediately made his judgment.

He paused the movement of his hand, held a short staff of ice crystals that emitted a thick cold air, and cautiously approached the mysterious one on the other side.

"I'd advise you to stay away from me," Lovian muttered with his eyes closed, "and the things that would cost me the opportunity to change my clothes are generally very difficult to mess with. ”

Sensing that there was no hostility in Lovian's tone, the mage who was using ice magic lowered the Ice Crystal Staff slightly, "I feel like you need help." ”

Lovien didn't like to be disturbed by his few rests, especially as the sun had gradually detached from its position directly above him, and the shadowmen not far away had begun to squirm slowly again. But it didn't seem polite to refuse someone's kindness, and he sat up (an indecent gesture that would never have been possible as a Blood Moon Venerable) and pointed to the small dark shadow in the distance.

"That thing has been chasing me for a day and a night," he said in an old-fashioned tone, "don't try to beat his idea, it's only possible to destroy it with a powerful water-medium life magic." In fact, our best bet is to find a huge beast here, and its blood is the best medium of life magic. ”

With that, Lovian patted the dust off his body. Standing up again, moving the joints of his limbs, "I'm ready to go." It's just me. If you have urgent work, please feel free to do it, I will not interfere with you. ”

The ice mage nodded, and with a wave of his staff, he swept away like a bolt of blue lightning. Lovian looked at his speed and was secretly amazed, if he could be as fast as him, maybe he would be able to shake off the Shadowman......

But what matters is the immediate problem. He felt the dark essence in his body fill again, and the shadow behind him began to speed up.

"The kid is really gone. Luo Wei'an sighed and walked in a straight line towards the Sky Wolf Snow Mountain. Aimless, he hopes to find some huge monster in that towering snowfield to help him out of his predicament.

It can really be said that he is looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, looking at the appearance that the Sky Wolf Mountain Range is not far away, in fact, it was only at the foot of the Sky Wolf Snow Mountain that the sunset reflected the red of the Sky Wolf Snow Mountain, and he stepped into the shadow of the mountain range for the first time. And at the moment. His speed was already tiring him slightly. The extreme exhaustion and recovery of the high-intensity running allowed him to recover his absolute second-level peak strength. Coupled with his understanding of the use of power, he has a much faster speed than ordinary second-level peak powerhouses.

Lovian turned sharply and traveled in a straight line in a north-south direction at a wide angle at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. This road is not a lifeless wasteland, in addition to the vast yellow grass that can be seen everywhere, there are small creatures such as hares and foxes hidden in the grass, and even once, he saw a snow wolf roaming the vast foothills. This creature with a blood-red pattern between its eyebrows is a magical beast with extremely high potential. In a few decades of life, they have the opportunity to elevate themselves to the rank of a third-level demonic beast - but whenever that happens. According to Luo Wei'an's memories from five hundred years ago, it was a sign that symbolized the appearance of a fifth-level peerless powerhouse in the same human wolf clan. According to his recollections, when Ai'an, the human hero of the wolf clan, was born, three snow wolves advanced to the snow wolf population in the Sky Wolf Mountain Range at the same time, and when Ai'an signed a contract with one of the snow wolves, it advanced to the fourth level for the first time in history.

"I think it was Maffei who killed her mount, right?" Lovian vaguely remembered that it seemed that Mastma had taken out an unprecedentedly powerful demon wolf during a surprise attack on a human army by her and herself, and that kind of battle between life and death was too much, and it was a ridiculous thing to remember every detail.

Night.

Lovion began to use a continuous tracking technique to distance him from the Shadowmen. Under the high-speed output of essence qi, several magic patterns on his cheeks and arms flashed with purple light, looking so bewitching in the pure white light of the snow-capped mountains under the moonlight.

"Boom...... Woo-"

Lovian, who had lost his concept of exact time, was suddenly awakened by a loud noise in his numb running. The sound was less like the roar of some kind of monster, but more like the roar of an avalanche.

He had to set aside a small portion of his cherished dark essence to scout the surroundings, and he soon discovered that it was not necessary in the slightest. For he saw that from the snow-capped valley to the west, an ice-blue dragon with its wings flapping and roaring to the sky was spitting dragon breath into a small spot in the sky.

Luo Wei'an was really panicked for a moment, because this was a real dragon, and its strength would not be less than that of the early stage of the fourth level. But suddenly, to his sympathy, he saw that one of the dragon's wings had broken off, and the other had also broken a large hole, and it seemed that he might not have a chance to fly in this life.

He sighed, his hatred for the dragon clan had faded a lot over time, and now he didn't have the strength he had back then, and he was no longer the legion commander Luo Wei'an. The hatred that belonged to the commander of the Third Army was getting farther and farther away from him at this time.

It soon became clear to him that the dot the dragon had attacked was the taciturn magician he had just met. At this moment, although his strength is one level lower than that of the dragon, the dragon without the ability to fly is far less agile than the magician who is extremely fast. Most of the dragon's breath and physical attacks were easily dodged by that magician, but vital points such as dragon's eyes were repeatedly seized by ice magicians.

Lovian, who was in a state of high-speed movement, quickly closed the distance between them, and seeing his approach, the ice mage said loudly:

"How's this help?"

Luo Wei'an was dumbfounded, but it made sense when he thought about it, such an incompetent old dragon should have enough life force in his blood to counteract the death qi and devouring power of the half-spirit shadow warrior to maintain the form of zài.

"Thank you!" said Lovian, pulling away and scurrying towards the ice mage. The shadow behind him was naturally in hot pursuit.

It was an ice-type dragon that lived in the snowfield, and it had the same magical attributes as the magician's major, which meant that all of the magician's attacks could hardly cause significant damage to the dragon. Conversely, the dragon's attacks had no effect on the magician—he seemed to be in a stalemate with the gigantic sapient creature.

The vast snowfield was full of cold water elements, and suddenly a dark aura and death aura appeared in the dragon's perception, as dazzling as a drop of ink on white paper.

The dragon's dark blue eyes snapped into Lovian, and Lovien could barely make out his unskilled dragon language as the dragon roared.

"Demon ...... Damn the demons, five hundred years ago, it was you demons who ruined the glory of my race! Since then, I swear. Every demon who sees me will die!"

"It's not a typical bard's story. The ice magician's clear voice was amplified by magic, "Now that the demons are there, I'm afraid you'll have to break your oath this time." ”

Lovian had been tired of this for five hundred years. Although there is no longer hatred for dragons in his heart, it is not Luo Wei'an's principle to love and pity a dragon. With the unique adhesion of the Dark Spirit, Lovien effortlessly jumped onto the steep cliff beside the dragon and leaped onto the dragon's back.

The dragon seems to be very jealous of this demon with dark attributes. I couldn't help but lower my attention to the ice mage.

The Ice Mage had a relieved expression. The incantation was pronounced extremely quickly, and the cold water element suddenly became extremely active, and from dozens of meters away, Luo Weian felt a feeling of sweat rising from his hairs.

The condensation of the elements, combined with the rapid release of the elements, often represents an explosive form of energy. In nature, the most common form of water elemental eruptions is thunder and lightning.

No matter what kind of elemental mage it is, if he can master the essence of elemental explosions. No matter what his spiritual space cultivation is, he will be unconditionally awarded the title of third-level great magician. However, even the mildest earth elemental erupts. There is a great danger that if such a spell fails, the explosion will likely affect the caster himself......

"Thunderbolt Gun?" Luo Wei said secretly in peace of mind, among the level-level magic, the Thunderbolt Gun can be regarded as the magic with the greatest attack power. It can be cast at the level of a third-level magician, but the penetration and explosive power of an instant can even surpass that of ordinary fourth-level magic.

"Tho!-" Ice Mage - he should be called Ice Thunder Mage at this moment, the yellow-green crackling light in his hand turned into a five-meter-long spear, and in the hissing sound of electric fire, the Ice Thunder Mage let go of his hands, and the lightning spear pointed at the chest of the Ice Dragon at a faster speed than the arrow off the string.

The dragon sensed a great threat, and almost at the same time, he let out a breath of dragon breath, ignoring Lovian, who had already jumped on his back, and the shadowman who was following him.

To his surprise, the dragon's breath was very small, just an inconspicuous blue light cluster. But everyone can feel the powerful ice attribute aura condensed in it and the light element style that cannot be concealed.

The intense blue light even hindered the Shadowshi's movements, and Lovian felt a hot tingle in his skin exposed to the light.

Against the stinging light, Luo Weian forcibly used the tracking technique in front of him, and rushed to the collision of the two ultimates as quickly as possible, and immediately unleashed the Blood Moon Slash.

The dense dark element in the Blood Moon Slash reacted violently with the light element in the blue light dragon breath of the ice dragon, and in just half a second, the repulsion generated by the two elements with diametrically opposed attributes distorted the direction of the ice dragon's breath.

Feeling that his life was threatened, he desperately twisted his inflexible and bulky body, and the lightning gun pierced the ice dragon's ribs.

Under the ice dragon's powerful scales and physical defense, the Thunder Lance did not completely submerge into the dragon's body before its power dissipated and disappeared. But in the end, the powerful explosion caused great damage to the dragon.

The lungs were traumatized, and it was difficult for the ice dragon to spit out a mouthful of dragon breath. The blue dragon's blood gushed out, the dragon roared hoarsely, and the old dragon, who had reached his old age, wanted to usher in the end of his life quietly, but he did not expect to be attacked by such a vicious attack at the last moment of his life. If it was in the heyday of that year, he would only need to move his fingers to deal with this Terran Ice Thunder Mage......

A flash of darkness flashed under the dragon's broken wings, and Lovien finally seized the right opportunity to step on the rough scales and burrow into the ice dragon's blasted wounds. The blue dragon's blood suddenly soaked through Lovian's tattered cloak and sprinkled on the shadowman who followed closely behind. Bursts of white smoke floated up, and the three-dimensional sense of the shadow was quickly lost.

"You're crazy!!Hide!-" The Ice Thunder Mage's shrill voice suddenly came, and Lovian was stunned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, and the surrounding magical elements seemed to have disappeared.

The aging ice dragon roared out obscure notes, mobilizing the last of its life energy, dragon language magic, and the forbidden demon shattered realm.

The surrounding magical elements were instantly ignited, condensed, and detonated.

The principle of this magic is similar to that of the Ice Thunder Mage's Lightning Lance, but it is much more powerful than the Thunderbolt Lance. Even in the heyday of the Ice Dragon, he didn't dare to try the extremely dangerous Forbidden Friction Shattering Realm lightly, but at this moment, he had no scruples about life, and the power of this magic had reached its strongest.

If Lovien wasn't in the dragon's body at the moment, the Forbidden Demon Shattering Realm would have blasted him and the Shadowman into more than a million pieces without any suspense. But fortunately, Lovian didn't break out of the dragon's body, as if a storm wouldn't sweep there in the eye of a typhoon, and he managed to avoid being ground into minced meat.

The rest of his memory is (to be continued......
