Chapter 16: Assassination

The hot summer has not yet passed. The early autumn sea breeze made people feel very cool, and Ryan and Faraz held hands and walked side by side on the soft sand. The sea lapped briskly against the beach, the cool water flooded the feet of Ryan and Faras**, and then slowly retreated, behind them, two long lines of footsteps.

"It's so charming!" said Faraz, "under the stars, by the sea, it's really a man." ”

"Hehe, yes, but what's the point of all this without you?" Ryan whispered love words in Farath's ear.

The two men talked as they went, and although they kept their voices down, it was already night, and there was no one else on the beach, so their voices still came far away.

"Do you know?" Faras suddenly looked into the depths of the sea and said to Ryan, "On the other side of the sea, there is a large archipelago of stars, it is said that it was in the ancient war, the great god of light released a forbidden spell, sprinkled the stars in the sky, and then defeated the evil demons, and later formed an archipelago of hundreds of islands of different sizes on the sea. ”

"Well, I know, that's where the Star Luo Islands came from. ”

"Yes. It is said that if you cross this large area of the sea, further away, there is a huge island, which was the habitat of the dragons in the ancient war. ”

"Dragon Island? I heard that it was because in the War of the Ancients, in order to protect their offspring from the Beamon Behemoth, those dragons deliberately chose isolated cliffs or simply laid eggs and hatched on overseas islands, but I heard that it takes more than 100 years for a dragon egg to be born and the young dragon breaks out of its shell. ”

"yes, Ryan. Dragons live so long that they get bored on their own, so adult dragons spend a lot of time sleeping in their caves, and if they don't, they can't really find anything to do. ”

Ryan smiled and said, "When many bards rap adventure stories, they will let the protagonist of the story be lucky to get a dragon egg, and then when the protagonist hatches it, he can become the legendary dragon knight." ”

Faras glanced at Ryan and said, "You believe this kind of story, not to mention how a man can wait for hundreds of years, even if the dragon really hatches, how can an ordinary human make a pact with the dragon, or is it an equal pact? This is just a story that the bards made up to attract others." I don't think even my teacher, Victor, will be able to defeat an Elder Dragon?"

"People have been looking forward to it for a while when they were young," Ryan said with a look of reminiscence, "At that time, who of the children in the whole town of Fog didn't want to be the protagonist of the story......?"

"You have to do it yourself, and without the experience of hovering between life and death, it is impossible to greatly increase your strength in a short period of time. Farass took Ryan's words and said, "This is also the reason why my teacher Victor refused to make me too many magic items in the first place, relying too much on those things, and then relaxing the importance of his own power." ”

"Yes, that's right, but, seriously, Fani,"

"Huh?"

"What kind of adventures did you say Victor had before, and if he was able to release the forbidden spell, I think his past must be very colorful, right?"

Ryan and Faras walked slowly while chatting, for them, the most important thing is to be able to be with their loved ones without interruption, as for the surroundings and the topic of chatting, it doesn't matter at all.

A semi-circular moon hung lazily in the sky, and under its bright moonlight, the earth could not be said to be as bright as daytime, but it could see things dozens of meters away. However, Ryan and Faras were chatting intently, and neither of them noticed that a dark shadow slowly wriggled towards them on the ground less than ten meters behind them.

"Ahh ”

Ryan stretched a long lazy waist, with a lazy look on his face, and he smiled and whispered in Faraz's ear, "No, there is danger, you pay attention to protect yourself." ”

If you look at it from a distance, you will definitely think that Ryan is flirting with Faras, but Farath was shocked after hearing Ryan's low warning, she didn't know how Ryan sensed the danger approaching, but she had absolute trust in Ryan, after suddenly getting Ryan's warning, Farath's face did not change color at all, she also looked at Ryan with an ambiguous look between lovers, and whispered in Ryan's ear: "Okay, you should be more careful." ”

Ryan listened to Faraz's words as if he hadn't heard them, and continued to chat without stubble, but his eyes no longer had the same freehand as before, instead of solemnity, in appearance, Ryan was no different from before, but the muscles of his whole body had completely entered the state of combat readiness, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

The black shadow on the ground behind Ryan and Farath got closer and closer, and when the whole black shadow was less than 3 meters away from Ryan, a cloud of black smoke rose into the fine sand on the ground, forming a human form in midair, and in the center of the human form, Susan's hideous face, accompanied by Susan's sharp whistle, the human form composed of smoke suddenly pounced towards Ryan.

Before Susan, who had already been made into a revenant, pounced on Ryan, the latter grabbed Farass and rushed forward, and at the same time, one side of his body, the other hand threw back, and pulled the three bright fireballs that had been prepared for Susan forward. Susan has seen the power of Ryan's magic, it is now a qualitative invisible revenant, and it doesn't care about ordinary attacks, but it is very afraid of magic attacks, seeing that if she continues to pounce, I'm afraid she hasn't pounced on Ryan, but she will be hit by a fireball, Susan "whoosh" scattered her conjured figure and turned into pieces of black mist.

"Whew!" Ryan released three fireballs that pierced through Susan's smoke and did not cause any damage to the latter, Ryan saw that his three fireballs were dodged by the opponent with some secret method, and he was not in a hurry, he had already jumped five or six meters forward at this time, completely widening the distance between him and the sneak attacker, just in time for the next step.

Ryan let go of his grip on Faraz's waist, and then swiped his hands in the air, and two of the three fireballs he released before flew back from behind Susan's smoke to the left and right in an arc, and when the three fireballs surrounded Susan in a zigzag shape, Ryan snapped his fingers vigorously.

"Boom!" Three loud bangs joined together, and a huge flame suddenly rose into the sky, and three fireballs exploded at the same time under Ryan's control, and the flames after the explosion formed a wall of flames, completely sealing the retreat of the sneak attacker.

With a smile on his face, Ryan waved his hands out one after another, releasing one fireball after another, and these fireballs flew to the attacker's side under Ryan's control, and the fireballs exploded in the flames and continued to increase the height and width of the four walls of flames, so that the attacker Susan, who was trapped in the center of the flame prison, had no way to escape.

Farass looked at the attacker trapped in the prison of flames with a displeased expression, the cloud of smoke it had transformed into had recondensed and formed the form of a young woman, and the face was Susan, whom Ryan had once faced.

In the sneak attack just now, Susan, who has been made into a dead soul, Faras only heard a sharp whistle, and suddenly felt countless grievances, helplessness, pain, and regret in the world...... All sorts of negative emotions squeezed into Faraz's mind like a tidal wave, making her almost lose the spirit of resistance and become a walking corpse.

This kind of experience has only been experienced by Faras in the cave of Elmida, when facing that lich, but I didn't expect Faras to taste this taste again today. This made her not annoyed, fortunately Ryan was by her side today, otherwise Faras would not have had any certainty of dodging the opponent's fatal blow.

After confirming that the attacker could not escape, Ryan leisurely replenished the fireball technique for the fire prison, while carefully observing the person who had just attacked him, he was surprised to find that the woman in front of him was actually Susan that he and Alendor had met in Seke City, which made Ryan very strange.

"How could it be her?" Ryan said to himself, "and she doesn't look like a normal human now." ”

"She?" Farass was keenly aware of the change in Ryan's mind, and she immediately asked, "Do you know her?"

"Yes," Ryan didn't deny it, and asked aloud, "Susan, what do you mean?"

Susan, who had been made into a revenant, suddenly heard her name from Ryan's mouth, and a moment of confusion suddenly appeared on her hideous face: "Susan......? So familiar...... You're also familiar with ...... You are...... Ahh

Just as Susan was about to recall her past experiences, the magic imprint in the depths of her soul suddenly attacked, and a black gas rose up to her body, Susan's somewhat dazed face was gone, replaced by a ghostly ugly face, "I'm going to kill you, you must die!"
