Chapter 118: Hand to hand

The chase begins again.

Chased by the unicorn and the nightmare, the Black Lord once again began to try to escape, but it is unknown if it was because of the previous damage or because of the excessive use of power. Its speed had begun to slow down, but with its erratic and strange abilities, it managed to evade the two sisters several times. But even so, the Lord of the Black gradually showed fatigue, and he no longer had the courage he used to be.

Yuren, who was sitting on top of the nightmare, had been carefully observing the dim figure not far ahead, and when the figure of the Black Lord slowed down again, he put his finger to his mouth and whistled melodiously.

And hearing Yuren's whistle, Messiah, who had been closely following the other side, suddenly raised the umbrella in her hand, her face was serious, she bit her lip tightly, and soon, the white umbrella burst out with dazzling brilliance, and the gorgeous brilliance circulated on the surface of the umbrella, showing a powerful power. Then, with a shout, Misiah snorted, then clenched the umbrella and stabbed forward with all his might.

"Boom!!"

The roar mixed with the white pillar of light tore through the storm and the dark night in an instant, shooting straight towards the black lord not far away, and it didn't have time to react at all, the white pillar of light had already hit in front of it.

With a muffled sound, the ground under the Black Lord's feet immediately cracked, and the strange shadow shook at the impact, and then it was blown away and flew into the sky.

"Seminya!"

At that moment, the nightmare, which had been following her, sank in shape, and then leaped into the airβ€”turning into a bright red lightning bolt that rushed straight into the shadow in the air.

In the state of no borrowing point, the Black Lord was obviously completely panicked, maybe it had never felt what it would be like to leave gravity, but from its current performance, it must not feel very good.

But this is obviously not a problem that Yuren will worry about, Nightmare jumped lightly through the sky, running towards the Black Lord who was in the air, and Yuren once again half-bent his body, and at the same time that Nightmare and the Black Lord passed by, he jumped up again, and then landed firmly on the body of the Black Lord.

β€œβ€•β€•β€•β€•οΌβ€

Sensing that someone had ridden on him, the Black Lord was obviously extremely angry, and it spun on the spot and landed firmly on the ground. At this moment, Yulian grabbed its mane tightly, and at the same time forcibly injected his soul power into the opponent's body - although this would restore the power that the Black Lord had consumed to a certain extent, but at the same time, it would also make its form closer to materialization, and there was no way to use those strange skills.

Although Yuren is just speculation, the facts have proved it. After perceiving that Yulian was riding on his body, the Black Lord also immediately cast that strange skill as soon as it landed, and its body immediately emitted a faint mist around it, as if it wanted to disappear. However, the soul power that Yulian input firmly grasped its body and forcibly pulled it back into this world.

At this moment, the sisters also stopped, and they each sat on their mounts, watching the scene before them with curiosity and excitement. As for the unicorn and the nightmare, they also cast a look of pity and mockery at the dark monster, and the meaning was simple - welcome new companions to join us.

Since the other party has no intention of pursuing again, and the Black Lord no longer flees, at this moment its mind has been completely focused on how to get rid of this annoying guy on its body. Since its own skills are useless, it can only use the oldest methods to break free.

However, this level of struggle is nothing to Yu Lian, in the face of the fierce struggle of the Black Lord, he just grabbed the other party's mane, and at the same time pressed his legs against the other party's body, sticking the whole person to the Black Lord's body. Not only that, but he could even predict the Black Lord's next move through his movements, so that he could adjust his actions so that he could completely counteract the impact of the Black Lord's struggle.

And after losing that special ability to protect himself, the Black Lord immediately became a toothless tiger, plus it had already consumed a lot of strength in the chase battle just now, and the injuries it suffered during the battle with Yulian before did not heal. So after the dragon spirit and tiger jumped a few times, but still couldn't shake off the nasty thing on his body, the Black Lord's movements began to slow and tired again. But even so, Yulian still didn't let his guard down, as a knight, he didn't have experience in how to tame mounts, even those ordinary beasts were not willing to be subordinated to people, let alone these spirit creatures. When the Messiah tamed the unicorn, its final outbreak destroyed half of the mountain. And when Seminya tamed the nightmare, she completely flattened a small town, and compared to them, this strange creature was weakened at the moment, but if it hadn't exploded on its deathbed, then Yulian wouldn't have believed it.

Sure enough, after another failed struggle, the Black Lord let out a wail of anger and sadness, and then it suddenly stopped, gasping for air, but no longer moving.

Everything seemed so calm, it could even be said that it was done, but Yulian tensed his nerves, and instead of letting go, he grasped the other party's body more and more hard. And the pair of sisters also showed a solemn expression at this moment, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

β€œβ€•β€•β€•οΌβ€

Then, the Lord of Darkness suddenly raised his head and let out a long roar.

With this roar, the cold storm suddenly spread around it, and even You Lian felt a chill all around his body, and the body that was originally protected by the aura of the body protector seemed to have no protection at this moment, and the deep cold that penetrated into the bones quickly eroded his body, and he even felt that his hands and feet had completely lost consciousness, as if he had been cut off by something at the moment of this cold storm.

Not only Yuren, but even the ground around the Black Lord was covered with layers of ice and hoarfrost, and the raindrops swept under the strong wind turned into tiny hailstones at this moment, knocking on the ground.

It's the soul caste attack!

Thinking of this, You Lian felt a chill in his heart, he knew very well that this kind of attack was a terrible means to completely ignore the obstacles of ** and directly attack the souls of others. Especially for people who use soul abilities such as body protection aura, the essence of soul ability is to use the power in their souls, but right now, this guy's attack method is to directly hit the soul, so Yu Lian's body protection aura, not only is it not his means to protect himself at this moment, but it has become his biggest threat at the moment!

Frankly, Yuren was completely unaware that this eccentric creature would use this kind of attack. If Ofariel's shadow is a surname, it can be regarded as a natural enemy of the mage. Then the soul belongs to the caste, and it can be regarded as the nemesis of the swordsman. After all, the more swordsmen who go to a high position, the more often they mobilize and use their soul abilities, just like You Lian and the two sisters, when they encounter wind and rain, they directly activate the aura of protecting their bodies, and it can almost be said that they use soul power, which is completely like eating and drinking water for them, and has completely become a part of ordinary life. And the attack method of the soul caste, it is like directly injecting venom into the soul of the other party, if there is the protection of **, then the effect of this attack is not fatal. But like Yuren, it is no less dangerous to use the soul power flowing all over his body, even covering the surface, than directly taking the heart out of his body and letting the other party cut it.

However, just as the Phantom surname belongs to one in a thousand, it is difficult to appear. The soul caste attack is more difficult than this, since he came to this world, Yulian has only seen an older astral dragon possess such an ability.

In the face of the struggle of the Black Lord, not only did Yulian's face change drastically, but even the pair of sisters quickly retreated, avoiding the attack of the soul caste.

"Brother!"

"Daddy!!"

Just as the two sisters were nervously calling for Yu Lian, they only heard Yu Lian whisper, and then, a faint aura immediately centered on his body and spread out in all directions.

"Bang!"

With the unfolding of the aura, the soul attack originally released by the Black Lord suddenly shrank, and the cold air that was originally deep and cold to the bone immediately disappeared without a trace. And with this scene, the Black Lord also gave up the struggle completely, it shook its neck dissatisfied, and then stood quietly on the ground, motionless, and even when Yulian jumped off its body again, the Black Lord did not have any intention of trying to leave and resist.

"Brother!"

"Daddy!"

Seeing Yu Lian jump off the Black Lord's body, the two girls hurriedly rushed to his side, and Yu Lian was also scared and shook his hands and feet.

"It's dangerous, I almost capsized in the gutter. ”

Although Yu Lian had indeed calculated a lot, to be honest, he really didn't expect the other party to have such a rare attack caste. If Ofariel's Shadow Cast might only appear in more than 100,000 people, then even if the Soul Attack Caste searched for tens of millions of people in the continent, not necessarily one, who would have thought that it would appear in such a low-level spiritual lifeform?

Fortunately, Yulian just had the power to restrain it, otherwise he would have turned into a cold corpse by now. Even if you come up with Messiah or Semiya, even if you don't die, you will lose half your life.

After lamenting the good fortune of the rest of his life, Yulian turned around and walked back to the front of the Black Lord. And this time, the Lord of Darkness raised his head and looked at Yuren in front of him with complicated eyes. Just now, it had already felt that its soul had been imprinted by the other party, and now, this strange creature was its own master.

"I have to say, it's really tiring, but it's also very rewarding. ”

Looking at the black lord in front of him, You Lian couldn't help but sigh. But he didn't say anything more, and it was clear from the dark lord's dim, almost disappearing body that it had exhausted its strength. So Yu Lian didn't say any more nonsense, he reached out and pulled out the black long sword at his waist, and then pointed at the black lord in front of him from afar.

"From today onwards, you will be my mount. ”

Yu Lian said in a deep voice, and as he spoke, the pitch-black long sword began to bloom with a soft brilliance, and sensing this brilliance, the black lord stared at the long sword in front of him, and then, it lowered its head deeply.

"You will be the most faithful companion in my soul forever. Starting today, you will have a new name - Estie. ”

β€œβ€•β€•οΌβ€

Hearing this, the Black Lord leaned down and let out a low roar, and then, a faint light appeared on its body, and then disappeared into thin air, disappearing without a trace.

You Lian raised his long sword and carefully looked at the pitch-black sword body in front of him, and above it, a faint soul pattern appeared in it, shining with a faint brilliance. Looking at the pattern in front of him, Yuren shrugged his shoulders, then he put his sword back into its sheath, and then turned to look at his sister who was standing not far behind him.

"It's all done, it's over. ”

Then, Yuren said.

Everything went very smoothly, and in fact, when Yulian and the others quietly returned to their own room in the hotel, the old steward was completely unaware that his young master and the two young ladies had already sneaked out and tossed outside for most of the night before returning. The three of them were also very tired, so they fell asleep shortly after returning to their rooms.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the three of them got up leisurely, and the torrential rain outside still had no intention of stopping, and in fact, as the rain became heavier and heavier, more and more people gathered here. Among them were merchants and weary travelers, who gathered around the fire in the lobby, cursing the damn weather and hoping that it would get better sooner. The old steward was no exception, but his heart was more anxious.

"Young master, I'm afraid this kind of weather will last for two or three days, I think there may be some trouble in the future........."

It's no wonder that the old steward is so anxious, if it were before, he would still be in the mood to continue waiting, but this time, the loss of one-third of the goods made the old steward not so calm. Moreover, now that the town was still a long way from the next gathering place, the old steward did not dare to use such a dangerous method as jumping away. Not to mention, he had only failed once before, and he had no self-confidence.

Although the old steward had ordered his subordinates to do their best to keep the herbs dry and damp, he also knew that manpower was sometimes poor, and it was really difficult to completely preserve them in the face of such a large-scale rainstorm. Not to mention, there was also a part of it that went into the water. If it's a sunny day, you can take some time out to dry on the way. But the current continuous rainstorm has also blocked this last hope. So the old steward had no choice but to report to You Lian, although he didn't want to say that, but he couldn't help it.

"In that case, let's wait a few more days. ”

However, Yulian obviously didn't care, and after listening to the old steward's report, he only raised his eyebrows, and then answered. Hearing You Lian's answer, the old steward also sighed helplessly, which was also his expected thought. However, Yu Lian's next sentence made the old steward nervous.

"We're not going to stay here for long, though. ”

"Young Master?"

The old steward looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise, not understanding what he was saying.

"I think you should know, Mr. Steward, that this time I went out, and it was only by the way to supervise the caravan. ”

Facing the old steward's puzzled eyes, You Lian changed his posture and explained with a smile. Although for the old steward, such weather can be said to be the worst. But for Yuren, it's a fantastic day. Strong winds and torrential rain can obscure their movements, allowing them to cross the border between Orrut and West more safely and smoothly. If you wait until the sky clears, as the old steward did, then things will be much more troublesome. So after learning from the old steward that it would rain for two or three days, Yulian made a decision not to wait any longer, but to take advantage of this opportunity to take action, which was his goal.

"Actually, I have more important things to do, so I'm not going to stay here for long, the caravan will be left to you, and I'm leaving. ”

"But, with such a heavy rain, you ........."

The old steward didn't forget that You Lian was just following him on this trip, but what he didn't expect was that the other party would choose to go out on such a rainy day, which really surprised the old steward. He couldn't figure out what was so important for the young nobleman to travel in such bad weather, and he couldn't have waited for the rainstorm to stop before setting out.

"When are you going to leave?"

The old steward didn't ask, as an experienced businessman, he knew very well that what the superior wanted to do, it was not up to him to ask.

"I'll leave tomorrow morning. ”

Yuren replied quickly, and then, reaching into his arms, he pulled out a small bag of gold coins.

"The money is used to pay for the caravan to be consumed here, and I think there should be no problem. When the rain stops, you can continue to set off and leave me alone. If someone asks, they say I've gone back, understand?"

"Yes, young master. ”

The old steward took the gold coin with both hands, and quickly responded. Then, he frowned a little worriedly.

"Excuse me, ......... those two young ladies?"

"They're coming with me, you don't need to care. ”

"Yes. ”

Hearing this, the old steward understood that there was nothing to do with himself, so he bent down slightly, saluted Youlian, and then turned to close the door and leave.
