Chapter 52: The Raven of Shadows
The speed of the black shadow was actually faster than that of the galloping carriage, and after a few breaths, it formed a momentum of encirclement of the carriage.
The three-legged jackdaw flapped its wings and flew high into the air, its claws clinging to its abdomen, chanting an unknown incantation.
"Click. ”
The jackdaw's beak was covered in a layer of hoarfrost, and the magic gathered in front of it, forming dozens of sharp ice picks.
Woooo
All the icicles shot out towards the carriage, dense like raindrops, and the sound of breaking through the air whined.
"Oh no, run!"
At the moment when the magic fluctuations appeared, Brandon suddenly opened his eyes and let out a loud snort, he pushed away the man in the suit with his left hand, and grabbed the green striped staff under him with his right hand.
Brandon doesn't know why he was attacked, but the other party made a killing move with obvious malice.
"Poof. ”
Debris flew and hard ice picks easily pierced through the wooden carriage, pinning the carriage to the ground.
The man in the suit was stunned, and he didn't know what was happening, and just as he was about to run out of the carriage, an ice pick pierced into his body, and he collapsed in a pool of blood with his hands on his bleeding chest.
At the critical moment, a layer of rough bark appeared on the surface of Brandon's skin, and the thick bark blocked the attack of the icicle.
Tree armor is one of the defense methods of botanical wizards, and Brandon has fused the genes of the Tin Tree, in this state, the defense of his strength will be greatly increased, and only the speed will be slightly reduced.
Brandon smashed the carriage with a punch, staring at the three-legged jackdaw in the air, his lips squirming, the lines on his staff lit up, and the energy of the magic stone was instantly drained.
Green dots of light poured into his hand, quickly turning into a translucent spear.
Brandon's face was much older, and a mouthful of hot blood was rushing up, blocking his throat, and it was obvious that his body was already in a state of overload.
"Whoosh. ”
He used his mental power to lock onto the three-legged jackdaw, and the spear turned into a green light and shot out.
The three-legged jackdaw reacted very quickly, and with a wave of its wingspan, the crow's body rose again, and it was able to dodge the spear.
"Boom!"
Before he could rejoice, the spear in the air was detonated, and the green flames scattered in all directions, and the violent explosion swept away the three-legged jackdaw.
The three-legged jackdaw fell to the ground, its fur as red as its pupils' eyes.
"And?!"
Brandon muttered to himself in horror that eight energy beings composed of energy particles had been found in the Psychic Perception Network.
In the surrounding forest, eight creatures with their bodies shrouded in black smoke came out, human forms, beasts, and several special species.
"Shadow Servants. ”
Brandon was a little desperate in his heart, being able to operate eight shadow minions at the same time was something that only a third-class apprentice could do, and these minions had been carefully screened to make them even more difficult to deal with.
But Brandon had no choice, he took a few seeds from his bosom and threw them into the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the seed broke through the soil and grew rapidly, growing a large number of vines, thick vines intertwined with each other and intertwined into an oval hood that protected Brandon.
The sorcery of the "Wall of Life" is inscribed on the inside of the seed, which is very expensive as a disposable, and will only be used by him in the event of a life or death.
"Roar"
The Shadow Servants rushed up, slashing or biting, kicking or slamming, but they could not damage the vine wall in the slightest.
Brandon's blood surged, he couldn't bear it anymore, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the vine wall.
He rested for a few seconds, a look of determination flashing across his face, and grabbed a handful of magic stones as he absorbed energy, preparing to unleash the special sorcery taught by Malfurion.
The breeze suddenly rose, and the huge magic fluctuations actually affected the natural weather.
"Roar!!
As if they had received some command, the shadow minions suddenly increased in the frequency of their attacks, attacking the vine wall desperately. Even the injured three-legged jackdaw flew into the air and joined the attack.
On the grass and trees within a radius of 10 meters, a withered yellow color appeared, and the leaves also showed signs of withering, as if the power of life had been withdrawn.
This special kind of witchcraft requires not only magic as a power, but also the life energy in the plant as an introduction.
Two energies entered the body, and Brandon's body instantly rose in a circle, emitting a dazzling light.
After completing the preconditions, he was about to pour energy into the spell model when his mental power suddenly collapsed, the magic power scurried in his body, and the crack in the sea of knowledge gave him a fatal blow.
In fact, Brandon himself knew that with his injuries, it was almost an impossible task to unleash witchcraft on such a scale.
But with ordinary sorcery, you can't kill all the shadow slaves, and you will still touch the injuries of Zhihai, so it's better to fight to the death in the end.
"Poof. ”
The light on Brandon's body dissipated, and he fell to his knees with blank eyes, and the wall of vines behind him slowly disappeared.
"Poof. ”
A sharp blade passed through his back, Brandon looked down at his chest, the demon source had been completely destroyed, and two shadow minions, one left and one right, grabbed his shoulders.
"Smack, smack. ”
A figure stepped out of the depths of the forest, smiling and clapping its palms gently.
"Mr. Brandon, back then, was worthy of being a genius who howled in the woodlands, even if Zhihai was injured, his combat effectiveness was comparable to that of a second-class apprentice. Lord Yavi still looks down on you, and I should really talk to him. ”
The man was dressed in a black robe, with a wide skeleton, eyes like falcons, a three-legged jackdaw standing on his left shoulder, a silver-white shoulder guard on his right shoulder, and a wide white cloak draped over his body, completely covering the whole person.
"You can call me the Raven of Shadows, Usochi. Usochi bowed and spoke.
"Why.... You're going to attack me?" Brandon snapped the words out between his teeth, his gray hair draped in a mess.
Usoqi slowly walked up to Brandon, crouched down, and observed his expression: "Don't you know yourself?
"Ahem. Brandon coughed a few times and said blankly, "What are you talking about? What Timothy? I don't know." ”
He searched through the memories in his mind, but found nothing related to the name.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, that's what everyone who falls into the hands of the church says. Usoch laughed heartily, stood up, and said unhesitantly, "You will regret it, the torture of the Church will make you reveal all your secrets." ”
"For such a reason, you dare to attack and kill the headmaster of the Kingdom of Turin?" Brandon asked in disbelief.
Usochi retracted the smile on his face and replied in a deep voice, "What is the Kingdom of Turin, the Church will eventually purify the whole of Rasmus!"
.........
Half a day later, in the evening, Usoqi arrived at the small single-family building where Kevin had rented.
Kevin had only been away for a week, and the house had not been rented out and was still unused.
Usoqi searched the entire house with his mental power, found nothing unusual, and finally came to the basement.
The basement was empty, the air was free of odors, and the walls and soil seemed to have been renovated, or recent.
Usoch's eyes flickered, and he summoned the Shadow Servants, turning the basement upside down, and finally found that the deep layers of earth seemed to have been burned.
Although Usochi found no blood, clothing, or corpses to prove that Timothy had been there, the basement itself was somewhat suspicious.
"Brandon doesn't seem to have anything to do with Timothy's death, but this Kevin ..... No matter, report to the church first. Usochi pondered for a moment, and strode out of the basement.
