Chapter 25: If You Do It Again

"That's how the guards are deployed, what do you think?" said Wood, holding a hand-drawn drawing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone put on their equipment, and Klaus looked a little solemn: "Kill!"

Wood looked into his companion's eyes, nodded, and then looked out the window, the night a little red.

On the night of this blood moon, there was another bloody massacre.

The portal to the ninetieth floor is in the royal palace of this city, and in short, the invaders are about to conquer the king's territory once again.

In the moonlight, a man dressed in a large robe walked to the gate of the palace with his head bowed.

"Stop, this is not for you travelers to get close to! Get out!" the palace guards mistook the man for an ignorant traveler.

Then, as if he was too hungry to stand, the man collapsed towards one of the guards.

The guards didn't expect it beforehand, so they couldn't dodge it, and then tried to push the man away with some disgust.

At that moment, a cold glow flashed in the bright red moonlight, and the guard fell to the ground, still with a look of disgust.

The other guards were obviously well-trained, and when they saw their companions fall, they shouted a few times to remind their comrades in the palace.

But Maika had already laid out a soundproof array, and it had already been activated at this time.

The guards also found that shouting was useless, and did not want to fight this terrible invader, and ran directly to the palace gate to sound the alarm.

But Wood wouldn't give them that chance, and immediately caught up with the group of guards, bright red daggers slashing sideways.

Blood poured from the wound on the back of his neck, and the two guards fell at the same time, and Wood stepped over the two bodies and grabbed the last one with his hands.

The guard turned his head and saw eyes as scarlet as the Blood Moon, clenching his spear in terror and about to fight to the death.

But it was too late, and Wood wouldn't give that a chance, and the sharp dagger put an end to the last of the guards.

This is the main road in front of the palace, and although it is not right to come late at night, there are some.

A few civilians passing by nearby shouted at the sight that Wood had planned it, and Klaus's spell was ready.

A large fireball smashed into the palace, destroying it along with the hard walls.

Before the palace guards could fully assemble, Wood waved his hand and rushed straight inside.

"Mage Regiment, shoot!" someone commanded loudly in the distance, and countless fireballs and ice arrows flew towards Wood.

Wood didn't panic, as the situation was a piece of cake for Rebecca.

The petite girl raised her giant shield and emitted light to form a wall of holy light, blocking the bombardment of spells.

"Oh no, they're preparing big spells. Klaus, who is the most sensitive to magic, reminded with a frown.

Wood and Maika looked at each other, and the latter drew a witchcraft on the back of Wood's hand with blood.

"I'm going to kill those mages, don't stop. With that, he threw the pointer into Klaus's hand and rushed straight out.

"!" Klaus yelled, then threw another fireball at the group of guards.

He knew that the more chaotic the scene, the better it would be for the Assassins.

Wood opened his eyes and locked on the group of mages, ten beginners and one intermediate, it's not easy......

He frowned, but his footsteps didn't stop, because he could also feel a terrifying aura of the spells that the group of mages were about to launch.

Quietly moving forward in the battlefield, the intermediate mage in the rear seemed to feel something, and commanded the guards to get closer to him.

Wood smiled weirdly, it seemed that Maika's sorcery would come in handy.

Confirming that the intermediate mage had not found his place, Wood infiltrated the mage group and watched them pull off the spell.

A huge magic ball is complete, pure magic bomb.

The mid-level mage was in charge, looking at the wall in the distance that was still emitting holy light, gasping for breath and preparing to launch.

Wood realizes that the time is up, and uses a little magic to trigger the sorcery, and the illusion begins to unfold.

At this time, in the eyes of the intermediate mage, the feet became far away, and the soldiers became the aggressors who were running.

Wielding his staff, he slowly threw the magic bomb out and flew into the sky.

The expressions of the soldiers and mages changed dramatically in just a few seconds.

From being full of confidence to being a little strange, to feeling surprised, and finally to running away in a hurry.

From beginning to end, the Intermediate Mage kept a smile.

The "Boom!!" bomb exploded among the soldiers, blood and limbs splattered, and the cries continued, and they still didn't understand why the mage was doing this.

In the blood-red moonlight, everyone in the city stepped out and looked at the magical light in the palace.

After a while, the light faded, and most of the soldiers died in the explosion, and those who survived could only be described as lingering.

Wood looked at the scene and knew that the decision had just been made was the right one.

Because even if Libaika blocks this blow, it is estimated that it will pay a great price.

If he hadn't stopped it, he wouldn't have dared to think about it......

With a sigh, he took out his dagger and began to harvest his prey.

Ordinary soldiers will not move anymore, but the mage group that is still a threat must be hunted clean.

The mages on the high platform were also affected by the explosion, and although there were no deaths, injuries were inevitable, and none of them were light.

A young mage who had fallen to the ground was just about to get up when he saw a pair of scarlet eyes and a blood-stained dagger.

One mage, two, three......

Wood effortlessly killed ten junior mages who were unable to resist, and came to the leader of the mage group who could not afford to be seriously injured.

"You demon. He said with blood welling up in his mouth.

Wood thought for a moment, then nodded, "I'm a demon indeed. ”

Then no more nonsense, the dagger stabbed down, and this assassination was completed.

"Congratulations to the adventurer for killing the 500th mage and completing the achievement: Magic Buster. ”

The system's prompt followed, and Wood glanced at the dagger he had just drawn.

Except for those bosses and the ones he killed in the past two days, he can't remember the appearance of the rest of the mages for a long time......

He shook his head, put aside the messy thoughts, and caught up with his companion who was in the distance.

......

Under the gray sky, a throne has long lost its former light and looks dilapidated.

There are countless white bones beside the throne, some of which turn to ashes and drift away when the wind blows, and it has been in this world for too long.

The black ground, which was empty except for the white bones, looked particularly desolate.

The skeleton with the green flame on the throne came down, took out a small sapling, carefully planted it, and then took out the water and sprinkled it on the dirt.

Perhaps influenced by that girl, he also felt that the years were too long, so he might as well try to make his surroundings a little better.

In the sprinkling, he felt someone coming, thought of something, and the fire in his eyes began to burn even brighter.

Wood and the others walked through the gate and walked through this barren world, looking for Herdick.

Then they saw the throne, and the skeleton on it.

The fire in the skeleton's eyes gave them a very cold feeling, which eventually turned into fear.

Wood, they understand that this skeleton has become extremely powerful over the years, and the specific strength is not clear, but the difficulty of pinching them to death is probably the same as pinching the ants to death.

Wood made himself look friendly: "Hello, we're here for a trial. ”

Hordick hated the face and the dagger.

"You killed my only and favorite disciple, so I want to kill you with my own hands. ”

This sentence made Wood's heart tremble, and everyone was ready to escape.

"But if I do, then I'll disappear. Hodik looked at the sky without a ray of sunlight.

"So, the trial I'm giving you is the hardest ever, because I want you to die in it. ”

Then, a blue crystal ball flew out of his hand and floated in the air

"If you have the courage, then let's get started. ”

Wood looked at his companion with a wry smile, he hadn't expected this again.

The men exchanged glances, understanding each other's determination, and then Klaus stepped out and put his hand on the crystal ball.

Hordick stood up, took out a staff made of bones out of nowhere, and pointed it at the blue crystal ball.

Then, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the world and enveloping Wood and the others.

......

Here it is...... Libeka looked at the familiar and unfamiliar room.

"Libeka, hurry up and come down to eat. A man's shout came from below.

Glancing in the mirror, Rebecca noticed that her appearance had changed to that of a young child.

There are also some baby fat faces and luxurious clothes, which are exactly the same as in my memory.

Is that what it is, a trial?

I opened the door and walked down the stairs to see a man sitting at the dining table.

A very tough face, a strong body, and a pair of loving eyes.

Libaika's eyes were red, and even if she knew that it was in the illusion, she felt like crying.

"What's wrong?" her father came over and picked her up, a little puzzled.

"Who bullied my daughter?" said with a hint of anger in his tone.

Rebecca burst into tears and laughed, then grabbed her father's neck.

Her father put her in a chair and began to feed her carefully.

She didn't refuse, opened her mouth and ate this small bite of food, and the taste of the meal reached her heart, warm.

Tears flowed again, and her father began to ask her again very worriedly what was wrong.

Then he wiped away his tears, trying not to cry, and said sorry to Wood in his heart.

Even though she knew that all this was fake, she still wanted to enjoy this warm feeling first......

In another world, Maika opens her eyes and finds herself in a stable, her body covered in scars as she did when she was a child.

"Little, the sun has risen, why haven't you gotten up yet!" came the voice of a mean woman.

Maika has understood that he is now back in the inn and has become the "little" who is deceived by everyone again.

Staying in the stable, looking at the sun outside, I remembered what happened back then......

Can he do it again now?

The woman outside, who had not seen him come out for a long time, opened the stable with her whip, and then struck him heavily.

Snorting and swearing, Maika just endured it silently, not even screaming, and glanced at the whip and the woman a few times.

One night he made up his mind to take the whip and strangle the woman in his sleep......

Pure white room with a handsome little boy lying on the bed.

Slowly opening his eyes, the boy looked a little confused, and just then the door was pushed open, and a girl walked in.

"Klaus, I heard you're sick again, and my mother says you're more like a girl than me!" said the pink-faced girl as she walked up to Klaus.

At this time, Klaus was stunned and could not speak for a long time.

The girl touched his forehead, and after a while he let go, and some of the mischievous girls now looked very confused.

"I don't have a fever anymore, why is it a little weird. ”

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something, and his mouth grew big, and he looked a little incredulous.

"Could it be that your brain is burned out?"

Klaus's eyes suddenly turned red, and he got up from the bed and hugged the girl.

Feeling the girl's body temperature and aroma, he didn't care if it was a fantasy or not......

"Hey, Klaus, what's wrong with you?" the girl pushed him away, and her face turned a little red, and she didn't know if she was angry or shy.

Klaus tries to be like a man and not shed tears in front of the girl he likes.

"I'm going to be physically strong in the future, and I won't make you insecure. ”

The girl's face turned even redder when she heard this, and then she snorted and said, "Aren't you going to become a mage like your father?"

Klaus directly took the girl's hand, and actually blushed: "In the dungeon, the mage must also be physically strong, otherwise it will be very dangerous!"

The girl didn't break free of Klaus's hand, thinking to herself that she was his fiancΓ©e anyway, which ...... It's nothing, right?

"You mean it so seriously, I almost thought you'd been to a dungeon!" the girl's mouth was still very stubborn.

Klaus smiled, "I've really been." ”

The girl suddenly withdrew her hand, said "liar", and walked out of the room.

Because if she stays any longer, she will become like the big sisters in the book who fall in love......

She's shy!

"That's right!" she suddenly remembered something as soon as she walked out, and she didn't dare to look back, because her cheeks were too red now.

"My mother said, you will come to my house for dinner when you are well, can you do it tomorrow?"

Klaus had already put on his coat, and was stunned by the girl's words.

After hesitating for a while, he agreed.

If you delay in the illusion for a few more days, it should be fine......

Everyone, I'm sorry......

The dim sky, the trees withered by the demonic aura, the earth blackened with black feathers......

Wood watched it all as if he had returned to that day.

This is where his memory begins.

"Betty" descended from the sky, black hair, blood eyes, and a pair of demon wings.

"Who are you?" asked Wood, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar Betty.

Betty pulled out a black rapier and continued, "I'm a demon. ”

Then he walked slowly towards Wood, and said as he went, "But summon me, the demon who slays you." ”

Betty walked up to Wood and raised her rappier, "It's your dear sister, Betty." ”

Then, the rapier pierced Wood's arm.

Pulling out the thin sword again, the demon looked at the sword that was flowing blood, and said lightly: "It's very simple to pass this level of illusion, just kill me, and I won't resist." ”

Wood pulled out the dagger, and he was ready to do it.

"However, after killing me, your dear sister will also be tortured by madness, and may even die. Betty's voice was full of indifference.

Wood received the dagger into the dimensional pouch, for he had no way of knowing if what the demon said was true.

If he really loses Betty, then he will be worse than dead.

"I'm going to pierce you with this sword every once in a while. Betty pointed to the bleeding sword, and then to the wound on Wood's arm.

"Did you kill me first, or did you end up bleeding to death after being stabbed by this sword?" a smile suddenly appeared on Betty's indifferent face.

"I'm really looking forward to it, brother~" The tone suddenly became exactly the same as Betty's.

Wood's eyes turned cold at these words, and he reached out and grabbed the demon's collar, then raised it.

He was more like a demon than a demon, and his pupils were not only cold, but also extremely angry.

"I warn you, don't talk like Betty. ”

The demon didn't smile, just returned to normalcy and nodded.

"You really care about her, obviously this woman is useless, and her talent can only barely be regarded as a middle-rate. The demon looked at his body, then at Wood, who was sitting on the ground.

"Is this what you humans feel?"

Wood lowered his head, thinking about something, the conditions and limitations of the illusion......

Then, figuring something out, he looked up and looked at Betty.

"You...... It's Herdick, right?"

......

In the barren space, Hodik, who was sitting on the throne, was suddenly stunned, and then said as if talking to himself, "How do you know?"

In the illusion, Wood realized that his guess was correct and organized his words.

"Quite simply, one of the necessary materials to create a fantasy is memory. And I don't have the memory of Betty being a demon in my mind, so it's even simpler, this illusion is created from your memories. ”

Then he groaned, in fact, he was a little afraid that this was true.

"If I'm right, I hope you'll tell me something. ”

Swallowing his saliva, he really had a hard time asking what was next.

"This memory...... Did you extract it from me?"

Herdick on the throne and Betty in the illusion fell silent at the same time.

......

In front of the gates of Kiel City, Betty's team is preparing to enter.

"This is the final level, so you have to pay more attention than usual. Cecilia reminded without tire.

"It's like a verbose old woman. Elizabeth pouted.

Cecilia was still smiling and hugged the girl directly.

Elizabeth began to struggle......

Watching them play, everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.

The feelings of this team are now very good.

Betty reached out and placed her hand on the crystal ball, glancing at her home in the distance.

Brother, Betty is getting stronger and stronger!

Betty will catch up with you, and then stop being treated like a child by you, and face the storm with you.

This day won't be too long......

She opened her mouth slightly with this determination.

"Teleport!"
