Chapter 120: Cocooning Yourself

readx;

Surprisingly, there was no attack on this more dangerous spiral staircase, which is like taking off your pants and finding out that she is him, which makes your whole person languid. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Lopez, can we take a break?"

As he walked, Lopez heard voices coming from behind.

Lopez thought for a while and said, "Everyone is tired after fighting for so long, so why don't you sit on this staircase and rest for a while." ā€

Everyone sat down and started chatting with people they knew. They have been tense for too long, and the tight thread always needs a certain relaxation, and only then can it exert its maximum strength.

However, no one expected that a burst of black smoke was silently coming towards everyone under the cover of this darkness.

"Gretel, do you think we'll be able to make it back alive this time?"

"I don't know...... Even the fortress of the Westside has almost fallen. Where else can we go?"

"Back to the Imperial City, where is our home? ā€

"You have to think about it, after the fall of the Westside Fortress, the Imperial City has completely become the front line. Life will certainly not be good then. ā€

"Ah...... I'm not married!"

"Okay, okay, you can just go home this time and get married. ā€

"Of course, I'll get home with my dear Alice. ā€

"You'll have to come to my wedding. ā€

However, Gretel, who had been talking to him, was slow to answer his questions. There were only the voices of other battles coming from other directions.

"Hey, Gretel, did you hear me? The young soldier shook his companion's body, but he didn't notice that a black line appeared on the veins of his companion's hand, spreading towards his head.

"Hey, what's going on?" another classmate rushed over from the side, as the two of them were really concerned.

"I don't know exactly what's going on. He said in a panic, because such a thing was indeed unexpected for him.

And that's when something even more unexpected happened.

The soldier's face was like that terrible fluffy breast, and in an instant, it swelled and turned into a twisted monster!

"Get out of the way! It's a demonic creature!"

A paladin student who reacted slashed at its body with a sword, but the blade containing holy light failed to break through its skin!

"Oops, my strength is not strong enough to penetrate his defenses. ā€

"We're here to help you!"

Several more Paladin cadets came to his aid and fought against the mutated monster together.

"No, he's Gretel!"

"What?Gretel?is it Gretel?" he said in surprise, with a brief pause in his hand movements.

However, it was this short pause that gave the monster a chance that had been suppressed.

Foul-smelling tentacles pierced through his heart, raising the suspicion that his blood had become the disgusting smell as well. It is almost unforgivable for a paladin to lose his precious life in this way because of the indecision of his youth......

"Avenge Kelsen!"

"Go!"

Everyone around them attacked the monster. At this time, no one cares that he was a human before, because if he doesn't do it, the monster in front of him will kill the others like he killed the person just now!

While climbing this long staircase, Lopez placed all the survivors who were not part of the Paladin Academy at the end of the group for the safety of the entire party. At the end of the line, the ratio of paladins to regular soldiers was only 3 to 10. In other words, the people who are fighting here now and those who died just now are all the paladins present.

No one noticed that the terrifying black smoke had passed around as if it had touched something terrible when it touched the paladins with the power of the Holy Light, but the rest of the ordinary soldiers were not so lucky. As soon as the terrifying black mist touched their bodies, it wrapped around their calves, like poisonous snakes.

"You go around from the side to deal with him, and I get his attention in front!"

"Okay!"

The two were still engaged in a fierce battle, and the movement they had created had finally caught the attention of the entire team.

"Look, what's going on where?"

"What's going on?" Lopez opened his slightly narrowed eyes and looked in the direction the man was directing.

I saw two classmates besieging a monster, and the soldiers around them all fell to the ground.

"Oh my God, I read that right, what happened?"

"I don't know, it's like a virus, and it seems that anyone you come into contact with it will become that kind of monster. ā€

"Look at the situation, those soldiers have been infected."

I saw that the scout and other ordinary soldiers who fell to the ground just now stood up staggeringly, and their bodies were also swelling like Glitter just now, and they were transforming into terrifying monsters!

Lopez now finally knows why there are no death traps similar to those just now, it turns out that Merlin's trial is to let them survive the surprise attack from within! I have to say, this insidious method is too unexpected, and it has caused a lot of damage to the morale and personnel of the team.

The two warriors who fought the enemy at the beginning have died in the siege of the monsters.

The rest of the paladins were all concentrated in the front, fighting and retreating in the face of monsters attacking from behind, because their swords could not break through the enemy's defenses. As the saying goes, we failed to penetrate their armor.

"All of you come with me!" Lopez shouted.

If this continues, all of them will be sealed here by the monsters. Rather than just fall into the so-called trial, you should run as fast as you can, as long as you can run to the top of the tower where Merlin is before the monsters catch up with them, then you don't have to worry about these monsters.

After all, all the monsters in the level can't get out of the level they are in, well, it's common sense

So it was like a cat and mouse, and the monsters ran behind the crowd. The staircase was originally long, but at this time, it seemed that it was only a short distance, and everyone wanted to run in front.

No one is going to be stupid enough to stay behind it. Since there is such a great opportunity for everyone to escape, there is no need to cut anything back. Besides, this monster can't break through the defense, and if he can't even kill one, what reason is there to die generously?

A large door appeared at the end of the staircase, and the bright light from the door shone through the door into the dark hallway, like a paradise described in a religious story.

Lopez was always at the front, but when he arrived, he didn't get in first, but waited for his teammates to pass one by one. As the temporary leader of this team, he naturally had to take the lead and wait until all the team members were safe before he could enter.

When everyone was about to enter, the two people hidden in the crowd quietly lurked behind Lopez, and they were the last two remaining noble students. After the previous encounter, the belief they held on to in their hearts had long since collapsed, and now only the spirit of revenge remained. And the object of their revenge is the Lopez who pushed them into the fire pit.

If Lopez had known what they were thinking, he would have said, "You jumped on your own, right?"

Still, even if he didn't know, Lopez was already aware of them. It is worthy of the people who came in through the back door, and they did not meet the requirements of the academy at all in terms of hidden kung fu.

The two of them stretched out their hands, ready to push Lopez at the end, then closed the door and went in themselves.

But at this moment, Lopez grabbed both of them with a backhand, and the two of them found that Lopez's power could not be resisted by themselves, so they could only let Lopez grab them.

Lopez didn't choose to question, only to see him turn around, clench his claws into palms, and push them behind their backs, and the two of them, who were unstable, suddenly stumbled forward and fell away.

Lopez, on the other hand, entered the room, closed the door, and hid his fame.

Their ideas are good, and those who died in battle will not be suspected. But they underestimated Lopez's insight and his strength

This should be regarded as a cocoon.
