Chapter 60: The Black Shaman: Vanity

Oops!

It wasn't until Vena's exclamation came that Kyle, whose mind was completely blank, realized what a terrible thing he had just done, and he was completely defenseless and handed over something that he absolutely wanted to keep to a stranger!

It's incredible! As his consciousness sank into the void, the knight's body moved completely on its own. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Goo......

I tried to speak, but the words choked in my throat. Kyle woke up from a dream and found that he couldn't move.

What the hell just happened?

Who was the man who suddenly appeared in front of several people?

"Ha ......"

Such a question also bothered Vina, and the sorceress, who was also unable to move half a minute, could only try to squeeze the slightest sound out of her throat that did not seem so "desperate".

She hadn't noticed that there was an extra person here, and now that she thought about it, the previous phrase "I see, I'm still wondering why there is one less person" came from this man's mouth, but why?

"Really, ahem, thank you guys. The coughing voice of the man who concealed his face in a pitch-black hood and covered it with a robe covering him with only a few small patches of pale skin sounded somewhat heartbreaking, as if it was a stubborn disease that could not be cured for a long time, "Fierce battle, the consumption of energy and physical strength plus serious injuries, cough, after that, there can still be such a will, not bad, Lance really has a group of good team members, cough!"

A heavy cough made his whole body tremble.

"Ah......h

"Hmm......"

Fear begins to crawl out of Kyle and Vina's minds, gradually taking over their entire thoughts. The question that had been swirling in their minds just a second ago, "How did he know?" had vanished, and at this moment, they didn't even seem to know when the man's hand was on Kyle's forehead.

However, I obviously saw it.

"I can see it, but I can't react too much, and the 'signal' is blocked halfway, but it's a pity. The man was stooping and trembling with a violent cough, but the arm against the tall knight's forehead remained motionless, making the whole look even more eerie. The voice of the man in a robe the color of the pitch-black element was half emotion, half admiration.

“...... It's not my style to gossip too much, so how about getting straight to the point?"

The tone changed suddenly, and even the murderous aura exploded, and the black shadow flashed in front of several people, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the originally burning fire was extinguished.

"The subject is, you. ”

The tone suddenly became cold, and the man who had disappeared from his vision appeared in front of Troy out of thin air, and behind him, Kyle, who was still standing in place, still looking surprised, Vina, who was still holding Christopher in his arms, and Mohr, who was still unconscious, everyone's bodies turned into wisps of light smoke and dispersed into the air at the same time as the black shadow passed.

The progress of the complete incomprehension of the cause of this is happening in front of the eyes of the ignorant boy, yes, everything is happening too fast, and it is too dreamy. Troy, who instinctively sensed danger and quickly retreated, found that he had only taken two steps out, and then, his body was completely numb uncontrollably.

Who is this man? Don't come near me!

The only words that repeated in his mind were the constant flow of overlapping words, and Troy vaguely felt the same disgusting aura in this man as Alphonse. However, the aura was so large that his fear quickly overcame the urge to "get it out".

The teenager could do nothing but escape. No, he couldn't even run away. Unable to move, unable to think, Troy could only let the man's gaze under the man's hood look like a ghostly fire scrutinize him.

"Boom!"

"Oh, this magic?"

In an instant, the red light covered the sky, and after the loud bang, the dust and mist dispersed, and several scarlet tentacles that reappeared swirled like sharp blades, blowing the scattered dust away while aggressively forcing the man who had disappeared from the young man's face and retreated into the distance at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.

"Whoosh-bang!"

The scarlet blade shot through the air and fell, and the dull sound of smashing again was not from the land, but rippled deep in the air.

Mana Shield.

The swift attack of the tentacles was easily resisted, however, the scarlet magic that was ineffective in one blow gathered again in the moment of dispersion, and several sharp blades merged into one and turned into an extreme fury surge.

"I'm unconscious, but my magic is still responding to the situation, which is really ...... What should I say?"

It's just the blink of an eye, and the man who stands safely behind the invisible barrier is actually reborn, and he looks like a different person, rather than a different person at all.

The withered and emaciated body became extremely majestic, and the visual height of more than two meters brought heavy pressure. The muscles on the originally slender arms bulged, and the heaviness of the arms was no less than that of Ralph, who was often jokingly called the "muscle monster".

There was no way to accommodate the current body, and the pitch-black hooded robe that the man was wearing had naturally disappeared, replaced by a full black and gold armor. Embellished with streamlined patterns, unknown metal makes up the cuirass, wrist armor, hand armor, and two pairs of shoulders that look a little bloated and redundant, making him look like a battle-hardened warrior.

However, the warrior was armed with a staff, not a sword and spear as a warrior would normally use. The plain black staff, which was a little more modest than the ornate armor, was clutched tightly on a metal glove that glowed with a dark sheen, and the top of the staff was a floating, finely polished blue crystal.

It may be more appropriate to describe him as a "war mage", he holds up the staff in his right hand, and in his half-held right hand is a striking purple flame rising upward, and the scene that looks like a physical magic has been formed but no elements have gathered, which can't help but make people more and more surprised.

What surprised me was that there were other "characteristics" that didn't look like human beings no matter how they looked. The man's head has horns that curve upwards like a goat, and behind his back are the inky wings of an eagle's falcon, and the most striking feature is his lower body, which is covered in pitch black from the waist down, connecting to the earth, so much so that one wonders how such a body structure should move.

"It's up to say. ”

The red waves of magic grew stronger and stronger, and the attacks never stopped, but in the face of the indestructible magic shield, they could only be in vain. Not only did his body change but even his voice became high-pitched, with contempt in his eyes and a smile on his lips, and for a long time, he opened his mouth and spat out four words.

"The 'vanity' ends. ”

In a word, the heavens and the earth are turned upside down, and then they return to the same state. His voice seemed to be hoarse and low again, and the man's body changed back to the thin body wrapped in a pitch-black robe.

It was as if it were just an illusion.

"The forbidden bloodline seems to be able to resist the power of the 'Shadow', and this will be noted later. The stiff neck was moved, and the face of the man who turned around was still covered in shadows that could not be explained by common sense, "However, if you are weak to this extent, cough, there is no threat at all...... But at least you still have the ability to struggle?"

The hoarse voice utters cold words, mixed with coughing and chattering, which can make the unsuspecting feel pity, but the scene in front of them can only be terrifying.

In addition to Moore, who was already unconscious, there were more Kyle who fell to the ground, as well as Vina and Christopher who fell together, and even the young Troy was no exception.
