Chapter 123: Wet robes

One thing to clarify is that although the analogy of appetizers and meals is used to illustrate the enemy who attacks Cheese and the others, according to the mage's own judgment, this is probably not the case. This does not mean that the food is prepared and prepared into the dish and served in order, everything is done by the chef or other manager consciously, that is, someone actively controls what food should be served when, where and where it should be served. This was not the case with the enemies who attacked the trio, and of course at first Cheese thought that these monsters were driven by worms to kill them, but as the battle progressed and the strength of these monsters, the mage had a different idea.

They are too weak. If such a monster were to attack ordinary people, it would indeed be a disaster, but in front of the combination of the gray robe and the cat fairy and the female swordsman, if it were not for the limited combat space and the lack of way out, they would definitely not be a deadly opponent. To say that such a monster is a fierce general under the worm, Cheese will not believe it even if he dies, others may not know, but he is very aware of the terrifying power possessed by this huge bug. Even if He was willing to give up a ten-thousandth of his power to create or pollute the world, He could make these monsters several times more deadly. From this point of view, I am afraid that the opponent they are facing now is nothing more than the product of the faint influence of the worms, at best, tiny beings that cling to the skin and gnaw at dead skin that are not visible to the eye. And the reason why they attacked the three of them should not be to protect the safety of the worms, they don't have this concept at all, the body of the worm is the whole world for these face moths, and the cheese is the outsiders who have invaded this world.

When outsiders are stronger than the average aboriginal can fight, it naturally attracts more powerful aborigines. It was a dark shadow that gradually emerged from the clouds above the three of them, and even in Cheese's magical vision, it was impossible to see more details, because it looked like a large mass of sewage, but ordinary sewage would never be so viscous. He'd heard of similar monsters from books and other people's accounts, most recently when he had encountered the Raven in the labyrinth of underground drainage in the Old Molten Iron City. Most of these monsters also live in sewer-like or cold, damp caves, and are rarely seen in open areas. Regardless, this cliff-like terrain is really suitable for soft-bodied creatures.

"Watch out of your head, you'll never feel like you're getting caught by that thing. The mage's admonition was redundant to the cat elves, and the keen sense of smell Kailath had already smelled the foul smell of corruption.

"It's easy to say, we don't have a place to run when that thing climbs down, where can we hide?" Indeed, as mentioned earlier, although the body of the worm entrenched on the heavenly tree is vast, it is not an artificially built platform after all, let alone a school field for people to fight. Although the platform enclosed by the giant insect's body was large enough for two carriages to pass side by side, most of the space on it was blocked by the higher section of the body, making it impossible for people to stand. In this case, the actual range of movement of the trio is much smaller than it seems. And what kind of opponent makes people feel tricky in this kind of narrow terrain, and the fluid that is large and will not be affected by the terrain and falls off the cliff must be in the forefront.

"Boom!sss The swordswoman wanted to scream, but she bit her lip in time to stop the urge, she couldn't get her companion to put more effort into coming here. As the mage's bodyguard, she was derelict enough to help Cheese relieve pressure in such a battle, and she must not fail more.

"Be careful!" In the moment of Atta's stunnedness, a drop of even larger slime had quietly dripped towards her head, and Kairaz, who noticed this, let out a sharp cry, but he had no time to react. Fortunately, the distance between the mage and the female swordsman was relatively close, and Cheese had consciously approached his companion beforehand, in order to prevent such a situation from happening. At this moment, when the cat fairy was powerless to help, he decisively stretched out his arm, grabbed Atta's left hand, and dragged her diagonally backwards, while holding the corner of the gray robe with the other hand, using the robe as a cloak, and covering the top of the two of them at once! With the heaviness in his arm and the stinging pain that followed, Cheese couldn't help but worry about whether his gray robe could withstand this thing.

"Zizizi" was accompanied by a tooth-sour sound, and the mage's heart was dripping blood with these sounds, this gray robe was not just a convenient magic item for him, it symbolized too many things, and had too many meanings. It can be said that Cheese has spent most of his life so far wearing this gray robe, and if it were destroyed here, he might cry. Of course, crying out was only the smallest of all possibilities, and when this thought came to the mage's mind, he himself felt a little funny.

The corrosive sound faded away, and from the inside, the first part of the clothing to be attacked by the slime became noticeably more transparent. Cheese didn't want to wait, and he nodded to Atta, got up and shook his robe, shaking off the remaining mucus from it. If the slime hadn't adhered to the magical robe from the Grey Tower, it wouldn't have worked as well as it should, and even running water would have had a hard time removing the foul-smelling sticky from the surface of the sticky, and most of the time, a special ointment would have to be used to get rid of it. Fortunately, the gray robe is not a mortal thing, and the coming-of-age gift left by the Lord of the Gray Tower to each student, if not as magical as those unique treasures, is magical enough to be useful, and those slime cannot stay at all when it is thrown off.

"Phew..."Atta was stunned to hear Cheese's distinctly heavy breathing, and at first she thought it was the mage who was injured, but when she saw those eyes that were full of magic, she realized that this was not the case. The grey robe was furious, and quite angry.

"Buy me some time to get those moths away from me. I'll have to report back to the guest up there and let him know that even in a fight, it's not a decent thing to deliberately break someone's clothes. ”
