Chapter 205: City of Bones (3)
After realizing that their howl could not inflict any damage on their opponents, and that the opponent could easily kill themselves, the hearts of those banshees actually appeared in the hearts of the undead with a sense of fear that the undead should never have, and they roared and began to flee in all directions.
Under the effect of Ryan's magic spell, a raging flame ignited around Andrew's steel golem's body, and then a ball of flame condensed into a fireball, whistling through the thick black fog, catching up with the banshee who had run the fastest and farthest. With a slight explosion, the banshee's body burst into bright flames and was burned in a very short time, leaving only a few ashes scattered to the ground.
"Whew, Whew!" a series of fireballs were launched in a continuous manner, these fireballs flew in different directions, under Ryan's subtle control, each fireball locked onto a target, and then in a very short time caught up with the banshees fleeing in the distance, and completely disappeared into this world.
Watching her companions be killed one by one by the invading monsters, the last banshee looked at the fireballs that were getting closer and closer to her, and let out a howl of despair. Just when she thought she wouldn't be spared, a pitch-black rune sword slashed out of the void and split the fireball that had flown in front of the banshee.
The two halves of the fireballs that had been torn apart continued to wobble from either side of the banshee's body for some distance before landing on the ground, causing a slight explosion that did not cause any damage to the banshee. This sudden blow made Ryan stunned for a moment, and he realized that three creatures full of dark aura appeared in front of him silently, and they were in a semicircle that had blocked his way forward.
"Ah, it's Lord Allet!" the banshee, who had escaped death, looked in horror at a dark rune knight standing in front of her, who had just suddenly appeared from the void and split the fireball to save herself. In the City of Bones, such dark rune knights far surpass banshees in terms of power and strength, and usually these banshees can only gaze at these beings who are countless times stronger than themselves from afar with fear, but they didn't expect to be saved by them at the moment of their own life and death.
Just when the banshee was a little overwhelmed and floating in place, the black rune sword that split the fireball stabbed into her body mercilessly, and the banshee looked at the tip of the sword that came out of her chest in horror, no matter what, she didn't know what was going on, but she felt a huge attraction from the black rune sword, and sucked its soul into the sword body. Due to the huge difference in strength between them, the banshee did not resist at all and became the sacrifice of the black rune sword, and after tasting a broken soul, the big sword actually shook a few times, and also let out a sigh of satisfaction, which made people shudder.
"Dark Rune Knight? Ryan quickly detected what was going on around him, especially the fact that the black rune greatsword was in some ways very similar to the two-handed greatsword that King Andrew had given him, which also piqued Ryan's interest.
"Da Da!" The three dark rune knights strode forward in a zigzag shape and slowly approached the Andrew Steel Golem, each of them has a large sword engraved with runes in their hands, the length of this sword is between a long sword and a two-handed giant sword, usually about 1.5 meters in length, it can be used with one hand or both hands, it all depends on the environment the user is in and the skills he likes to use, because the vast majority of people who use it are human knights, so some people call it a knight sword.
Ryan believed that the three Dark Rune Knights in front of him must have been members of the Royal Knights of the Imperial Capital during their lifetimes, presumably their corpses were stolen by Nicholas during the wedding of Fernando XIII, and now they have been transformed into dark creatures, becoming the most hated existence in their lives, which is really the greatest sorrow for those righteous incarnations.
Ryan didn't know how to expel the dark aura from these Dark Rune Knights, and the only thing he could do was kill them completely so that their souls could rest in peace. But now Ryan doesn't plan to continue fighting, because it is only one of his clones who has entered the dark canopy.
As a mirror shadow clone of Ryan, it is naturally impossible to use the full power of the body, with the strength of the legendary mage of Ryan, this doppelganger who controls the Andrew Steel Golem can use level 6 magic, and being able to use one-tenth of the mana of the body is already the limit, in the face of the full body armor engraved with magic runes on the dark rune knight's body, it is difficult for level 6 magic to give a fatal blow after penetrating their protection. What's more, the golem still holds a huge secret in the palm of his hand at this time, once he gets into a bitter battle with the enemy in front of him, Ryan is not too sure that his clone who enters the dark canopy can continue to protect the bat hiding in the palm of the golem's hand with the continuous support of the enemy, combined with these pros and cons, Ryan secretly made up his mind.
Andrew's steel golem suddenly burst out with a strong light, this dazzling strong light penetrated the fog shrouded in the surroundings, illuminating the area within a radius of dozens of meters as if it were day, the three dark rune knights naturally had nothing to hide, the dark aura on their bodies actually faintly showed signs of melting after coming into contact with this white light, which surprised the three dark rune knights, they also thought that the golem in front of them released a powerful light magic, which was definitely the nemesis of these dark creatures, so the three dark rune knights did not hesitate to raise the weapons in their hands to block in front of them, and then quickly retreated。
After retreating a few dozen meters, the three Dark Rune Knights noticed that there was no change in their bodies almost at the same time, and the strong light just now was only mixed with some faint light power, such a little damage, not to mention these high-level Dark Rune Knights, even ordinary skeleton warriors would not be too afraid.
"Fooled!" The three dark rune knights had this thought in their minds at the same time, but when they stopped retreating and were about to rush towards the golem again, they were surprised to see the three-meter-tall golem slowly disappear in a soft white light, which was the most obvious manifestation of teleportation magic, but unfortunately they were too far apart, there was no way to stop it, and when everything returned to darkness, the Andrew Steel Golem had disappeared without a trace.
Faras and the others, who were waiting anxiously next to Ryan's body, suddenly saw a strong light burst out from Ryan's side, and a blurred image slowly appeared from the center of the strong light, and a few seconds later, when the teleportation magic was completed, the Andrew Steel Golem, which had been in the dark sky for several hours, returned to Ryan's side.
"Huh?" Farass didn't know what was going on, so they walked quickly over to Ryan, and because of the perspective, none of them noticed that Ryan's body had quietly taken something from the palm of Andrew's steel golem's hand, and then quietly hid it in his sleeve. Ryan, who had done all this, stretched his waist casually, and then greeted Faraz and the others with a smile.
"What the hell is going on?" Faras was the first to ask.
"Hehe, this is just a little bit of tricks and tricks I did, before my golem entered the dark canopy, I arranged a teleportation circle here in advance, which can allow the golem to teleport back at any time, otherwise, my release of my mirror clone is instantaneous, is it so troublesome?" Ryan said with a faint smile: "Today's harvest is not small, but let me fill my stomach first." Oh, by the way, Red, you can use light magic to help me dispel the dark aura from the golem. ”
Later, Red, who came over, nodded, and recited a powerful magic called "Praise of Light", which completely cleaned the top and bottom of Andrew's steel golem, completely eliminating the dark aura on it, and no one could find any traces of the bat's existence from the golem. After Red had done all this, Ryan put the golem back in his storage pocket, mounted his horse with the others, and slowly returned to the camp.
After releasing three magical enchantments in a row to block contact with the outside world, Ryan finally put his mind at ease, although they were still in the barracks, but the tent they were in was protected by powerful magical power, and even the enemies who were slightly stronger than Ryan did not want to find out what was happening in the tent without alerting Ryan.
After taking the necessary precautions, Ryan waved his sleeves and released the gray bat hiding in it. As soon as the bat appeared, a large amount of dense fog poured out from all over its body, and this fog quickly expanded, and finally condensed into a young and handsome man.
After seeing this man, Emilia, a blood girl who was standing aside as a servant, was full of excitement, she walked forward quickly, and said loudly, "Hubert!"
The young man, known as Hubert, was also so excited when he saw Emilia that he quickly fell to his knees and performed a rite peculiar to the Bloods towards Amelia.
Emilia put her little hand on Hubert's forehead, who was half-kneeling in front of her, and after more than ten seconds, Emilia turned her head and said to Ryan, "The mark on his soul is intact, it should be fine." ”
After Emilia said this, she turned her head to Hubert below her and said, "I am now the deputy head of the Lane mercenary group, and it is Mr. Lane who brought you back. What is the layout in the City of Bones, you can tell Mr. Ryan 1510. Remember, I have confessed him as Lord, and since you have sworn allegiance to me with the souls of your ancestors, you must be unconditionally loyal to Mr. Lane as well. ”
