Chapter 13: Night Raid
It's another night.
The clouds covered the sky, the stars dimmed, and the night was as dark and silent as ever.
Four strong men patrolled closely around Sutum's small building, guarding everything around.
Since Sutum's battle at the Flying Feather Tavern, his identity has gradually spread among Sauron's forces, and he has begun to be treated like a leader.
These guards didn't help Sutum much, but they were just right to protect Eloth and Thea. Especially after he heard Eloth's babbling.
Sutum was now sitting on top of his own building, leaning against the roof, silently watching the movements of the guards. After a moment, he slowly moved his gaze to the sky dome, looking at the dim starlight, and fell into deep thought.
"Before I knew it, I had been in this world for months. I don't know how my family and friends are doing in the other world?"
Sutum's eyes were hazy, "I'm soul crossing, that body is probably still there, right?" I don't know what happens when the body is found unconscious......
"People look up at the bright moon and look down at their hometown. And in this world, there is not even a moon, how can we express our thoughts? Although there is no moon, the people here also use the moon as the unit of time, which is also interesting. β
Sutum looked at the sky, his gaze unfocused, his mind full of thoughts.
Although incarnated as a demon, his humanity has not disappeared, but has become more and more real. In the dead of night, after the matter landed, he couldn't sleep, and was often alone in a daze.
"This world is really lonely!"
He sighed at the night sky.
Whew-
There was a faint sound of wind.
Sutum narrowed his eyes and glanced down, but the guards didn't move. With a flash of fire in his eyes, he leaped to his feet and rushed into the house.
In front of the mirror in Eloth's room, the air rippled like water, and a blurred figure appeared in front of Eloth's bed like a ghost. The window in the room opened, and apparently the man had come in through the window.
The mirror in this room was placed by the girl Thea before, and it happened to be the case.
"Quack, in addition to the young man mentioned by Akas, there is actually a bloodline here, and it is really worth the trip. β
The figure monster smiled, and his figure appeared slightly, and it turned out to be a short and thin old man shaped like a skeleton. The old man was also carrying an unconscious gray-haired boy in his hand.
Sou!
The old man shot a rattan lock out of his hand and rolled it towards Eloth on the bed.
"Smack!" As soon as the rope opened, it was slapped aside by a strong force, and a fist changed from small to large, and slammed towards the old man.
Sutum appeared at the bedside of Eloth just in time.
The old man sneered, turned his wrist, and a bone short sword with a cold light stabbed at Sutum's fist. "Dangdang", there was a sound of gold and iron in the air, sparks splashed everywhere, and Sutum and the old man each took a step back.
"You're the one who wounded Andu? The old man's face was cold, "It's not a bloodline, then you can die." β
His eyes were green, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and his gaze towards Sutum was unscrupulous, as if he had already regarded him as a dead man.
The body shrank, and then violently erupted, and the old man's movements were like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to move, choosing people to devour, holding a bone short sword and shooting at Sutum's heart. Although the speed was extremely fast, no wind could be heard, and only phantoms passed through the air.
Sutum was about to dodge, but saw that the short sword in the old man's hand actually came out of his hand, and his speed accelerated a little. If he dodged, the dagger would undoubtedly shoot at Eloth behind him.
"It's so vicious!"
Sutum was furious, picked up the mirror and shook it hard, hitting the short sword, "scratching" it, and the glass shattered to the ground. The dagger attack was missed, stabbing into the wooden table next to it.
The other party's expression changed slightly.
The movements of the two had already alarmed Talos and the guards guarding them, and they hurried over one by one.
"The hosts. β
Talos pushed open the door and was shocked to see what was going on in the room.
The old man suddenly laughed strangely, and with a hula spit, a cloud of green smoke quickly erupted, dividing into two directions. One towards Sutum, one towards Talos.
Sutum didn't react, and Talos was caught in the smoke, and green blisters grew on his skin.
This old man's methods are so vicious.
Sutum waved his arm, and a ball of fire dispersed all the smoke and shot out towards the old man.
"This is ......," the old man's pupils dilated, and he was finally shocked, "it turned out to be a prophet." Why didn't the boy Akass explain this?"
He screamed in frustration, rolling his body to dodge the flames. Immediately jumped up, a layer of hazy blue light appeared on the surface of his body, and once again turned into a blurred shadow and jumped out of the window.
"Take care of them!"
Sutum commanded Talos, and then quickly chased him out.
The savage Andu Akas had no intention of killing, so Sutum spared them. And this old man, ruthless and vicious, finally made Sutum move to kill.
The night was dark and the lights were dim, but it had no effect on the two of them.
The old man ran away frantically, his body was as agile as a snake, and between breaths, he could travel a distance of more than ten meters, and the speed was very fast.
As he fled, his body glowed with blue, blurring his form, making him feel like a wind blowing. That's why he was able to avoid the guards and enter Aloth's room.
Sutum locked his breath firmly behind him, following closely.
The two of them ran one after the other, and they didn't know how long they had been running. A long blue-black wall appeared in front of it, which was the wall of the Outer Ring City.
The old man's original aura had a tendency to weaken, but when he saw this wall, it suddenly increased, but it strengthened a little.
The gates were guarded, and his direction was not from that side. I saw him flee to a hidden corner of the city wall, stretched out his hand, pulled out a rattan lock from the wall, and then pulled it hard, his body jumped, and he crossed out of the city.
Sutum smiled coldly, jumped forward, and jumped outside the city wall in the same way.
Outside the city is another world.
In the vast expanse of unfathomable darkness, the cold wind howled, rolling up patches of sand and dust, and throwing them in the void.
Countless terrible cries spread in the darkness, like ghosts crying, like beasts howling, faintly whispering of people, and the sound of seduction of souls mixed in.
After a while, translucent shadows floated in the air, searching for living creatures, one of the most terrifying monsters in the wasteland, the evil spirit.
The evil spirits smelled the old man's scent, gathered together, and then seemed to sense something, and did not attack. Sutum chased after him and accidentally bumped into the two, sucking them into his body. Suddenly the killing ** boiled, and he almost lost his mind.
"This thing is also terrifying, so it's better to touch it less. β
Sutum was awe-inspiring, avoiding the form of evil spirits.
After chasing for a few minutes again, the old man suddenly stopped when he came to a dark wood.
"Quack, you dare to chase after the wasteland, you are brave enough. The old man smiled strangely, "Even if you are a prophet, you will die here." β
Before the words fell, his body changed rapidly, the fangs in his mouth stretched out, his face was covered with fine scales, and his body more than doubled. His lower body also turned into a thick snake tail at this time. In the blink of an eye, the old man had turned into a half-human, half-snake murderous creature.
His breath of life rose sharply, and in Sutum's mirror eyes, he had already reached the peak of the [Hero] level.
After the old man's transformation was completed, Sutum suddenly dodged, and rows of sharp ice picks secretly attacked his back. The figure flashed, and before he landed, dozens of earth thorns sprouted on the ground and landed at his feet.
"Huh!"
Sutum laughed loudly, the flames released, the air currents expanded, and his body flashed to the side again.
Two figures, one blue and one yellow, appeared beside Sutum, and together with the old man, they formed a triangle to encircle him.
Sutum's eyes swept away, and the two new people who appeared were covered with the breath of ice and earth at the same time, and they were tattooed people like the wild man Andu. It's just that the breath is a little more powerful.
In addition to these, Sutum sensed a strong bloody aura in themβnot beast blood, but living human blood.
These three people don't know how many people they killed to form such a smell.
The light in the eyes of the three of them was cruel and vicious, desperate, and as Sauron said, there was no morality or restraint.
"Originally, there were too many scruples in the city to make a move, but when I got here, there were not so many restrictions. β
The flames swelled, and Sutum released his true demon body.
The body more than three meters tall floated in the void under the instigation of the wings behind it, and two slender chains snaked and danced like snakes, and the violent aura filled the radius of a hundred meters.
Sutum felt the freedom he had not felt in a long time.
"Grunt," the old man swallowed and hissed, "not a prophet, it's a demon." β
"Kill Him, kill Him. β
He shouted frantically and rushed towards Sutum.
Bang!
The snake's tail swung and swept towards Sutum in the void, and its tail turned out to be a sharp bone spur.
With a slight grip, Sutum grabbed the snake's tail, and the flames in his hand sneered at the scales on the tail. He slammed the snake's tail and slammed it down to the ground with the old man's muscular body.
Bang bang
The blue figure roared and shot out ice picks, bringing a chill to the sky. Unfortunately, before he could get close to Sutum, he was flapped by his wings and annihilated him with a raging fire.
Then clusters of flames fell, forming a rain of fire that enveloped him.
The blue figure resisted for a moment, and then turned into a burning man and burned.
The attacks of the remaining yellow figures did not pose much threat to Sutum, who was in mid-air and could easily avoid all earth and rock attacks.
A chain swung wildly, breaking the layers of earth and stone of the yellow figure, wrapping him tightly. The cold, glittering tip of the chain stabbed through his heart.
Sutum played heartily, as if he wanted to vent all his emotions.
By the time he came to his senses, the three of them were dying.
Whew-
As soon as the flames rolled, the three of them immediately turned into ashes, and then were scattered by the wind.
Three soul-symbolizing smoke appeared, which Sutum stretched out his hand to inhale and disappear.
These souls have the memories of the three of them, and they can be used to find out their origins, and Sutum will naturally not let them go.
In the distance, several strong auras were approaching, and Sutum's heart moved, reined in all the demonic aura, and went back in the direction he came.
A moment later, he vanished from the wilderness.
A few whispers could be heard in the air.
