Chapter IX: Assault
Rewind the clock to the central altar of the Dead Apostle dungeon ten minutes before the mission begins. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A pale, tall wizard with blood-colored veins carved on his skin handed the portrait in his hand to two men and a woman with similar appearances, and said coldly: "Find this person and extract his soul!"
On the portrait was a young man with short black hair, dark green eyes, and an indifferent expression, and it was Thor!
The male wizard glanced at the portrait, frowned, and said, "Lord Quelman, we are willing to sacrifice our allegiance to Philus, but you should know that this person is not among the Dead Apostles, and I am afraid we will not find him at all." “
Quelman looked at the male wizard coldly, and waited until fine beads of sweat appeared on the male wizard's forehead before retracting his cold gaze, took out a palm-sized doll, threw it to the male wizard, and said coldly: "Don't let Lord Philus down!"
"What is this?" the male wizard took the wooden figure and looked at it carefully, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
"Don't worry, my lord, we won't disappoint Lord Philus. ”
......
It was a dimly lit walkway, more than three meters wide, with an arched top, the highest point about four meters above the ground, and the surrounding walls were covered with large patches of fluorescent green moss, and the cracks in the walls were constantly oozing scarlet liquid, and the ground was scattered with pure black, thick pools of water.
The dim corridor has no end in sight, like a bottomless abyss, cold, and an eerie cold wind blows from the depths of darkness from time to time, like the breath of a terrifying beast, full of oppression.
"Tread, step, step"
Thor didn't use a torch, but just groped his way through the dimly lit corridor with the fluorescent light on the walls, his calm footsteps stepping over the black pools of water on the ground, making a crisp sound that echoed all around.
In the silent hallway, only the sound of Thor's footsteps was the sound of stamping.
"No wonder this task is called the 'Sewer Cleanup' mission, and it does look a lot like the sewers. ”
Thor had been walking for ten minutes and hadn't noticed anything unusual, but the vigilance in his heart had not relaxed, but had become more vigilant, and at the same time he began to recall the information about the source worm.
Suddenly, a black pool of water on the ground behind Thor changed, in fact, this black thick liquid was not water, but a liquid metal similar to melting, and an octopus-like head slowly rose from the black liquid.
The "octopus" did not make a sound, and the black liquid flowing on its surface did not slip off, but adhered to its skin, solidifying at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a layer of black crust, shimmering with pitch-black brilliance, like a layer of metal armor, leaving only two golden eyeballs exposed, staring coldly at Thor's back.
At this time, Thor didn't seem to notice the danger behind him, and still carefully explored the road.
Silently, the "octopus" opened its bloody mouth and spit out a ball of meat, which slowly unfolded, and turned out to be a long white tongue with a terrifying barb on the tip of the tongue.
The long tongue with the barb swung silently in the air, not even a single airflow, waiting to deliver a deadly attack on Thor.
This is a kind of source worm, which is called the attack type by the wizards in the royal city, and is the best at sneak attacks, and this type of source worm generally acts together with another source insect called the hunting type.
"Horn"
Suddenly, there were piercing screams from the walls on both sides, and in an instant, two black shadows rushed out of the wall at once, one left and one right towards Thor, but there was no other sound except the screams of the black shadows, and the walls of the walkway seemed to be made of jelly.
Thor has been vigilant in his heart, and the black silver cross sword has already been drawn, holding it in his hand on guard, while the other hand is also holding the black corpse bone, ready to cast the corrosive blade at any time.
However, the two black shadows came too fast, as if teleporting, directly through the void, killing Thor, and the way they appeared was too unexpected, and Thor's mental induction was completely undetectable.
So even at the moment when the piercing scream sounded, Thor reacted, throwing black bones like lightning in his left hand, and shouted: "Nasius!", and a black round shield appeared on Thor's left between the lightning and flint, blocking the black shadow on the left.
At the same time, a green light instantly appeared on the black and silver cross sword, and Thor urged the fighting spirit with all his strength, and the sharp blade stabbed decisively towards the right.
"Bang"
There was a muffled sound on the left, although the corrosive blade blocked the rapid black shadow, but the terrifying force hit Thor through the round shield, and in the next second, the round shield exploded, turning into black smoke in the sky, enveloping the black shadow, and suddenly, the black shadow let out a terrible scream and fell down.
This is a new use of the Corrosive Blade, which turns into a highly corrosive black smoke, and is a little trick that Thor learned from the Witch Spirit.
Thor was hit by the huge force, his mouth was sweet, and his face turned pale, but Thor did not change his expression, his eyes were cold, but he used this force to urge the long sword more quickly, and stabbed at the black shadow on the right.
There was no time to react at all, and after a sense of obstruction came from the tip of the black silver cross sword, the fighting energy in Thor's body immediately rushed to the blade almost instinctively, only to see the green light suddenly brighten, and with a "poof", Thor felt the sword sink, and the black shadow was directly penetrated by the sharp and slender blade and hung on the sword.
"Whew"
Thor exhaled slightly, his nervous mood had just relaxed, and a strong wind hit his neck, and the cold hairs on the back of his neck were stimulated by the wet breath in an instant.
Fortunately, Thor has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his body has formed an instinctive premonition of the crisis, so he turned sideways and moved his head sideways in a moment, although he avoided the crisis of separation of his body and head, but the moist breath still fell on Thor 's shoulder.
The terrifying barb pierced Thor's shoulder directly, and at the same time, an irresistible huge force came from the barb, and Thor involuntarily flew upside down, dragging his lower body to the ground, and quickly flew backwards.
At the time of the crisis, Thor's spirit rioted, and the 30-scale spiritual power instantly exploded around him, and the invisible shock wave formed made the sneak attacker behind him pause immediately, although in the next second, the sneak attacker recovered, and his strength doubled again, dragging Thor faster.
But this pause made Thor react from the sudden sneak attack, and the black and silver cross sword in his hand swung, shaking off the weight on the sword, and then Thor let go of his hand, the cross sword flew out of his hand, manipulated by mental power, and slashed at the barb behind his shoulder in the air.
"Boom!"
Slightly hot, blood-colored blood sprayed all over the sky, accompanied by a terrible scream behind him, and the barb on Thor's shoulder was slashed off.
The huge inertia caused Thor to roll on the ground several times, and after rolling through a puddle of black liquid on the ground, he slammed into the wall, but fortunately Thor reacted in time to protect his head, so he was not knocked out of the head injury.
As soon as his body stopped, Thor ignored the wound on his shoulder and the pain in various parts of his body, slapped the wall hard, turned over, and used the phantom he saw when he was rolling on the ground just now, as well as his own battle intuition, raised his hand and pointed, and a rapid gray ray passed through the dim space and shot towards a black "octopus".
"Petrified Ray!"
However, to Thor's surprise, the petrified ray, which had never missed, was resisted.
It turned out that after the petrified rays were hit on the "octopus", although the gray stone layer began to spread rapidly, at the same time, the black liquid on the surface of the "octopus" kept surging, and after petrifying a layer, a new black liquid immediately gushed out, constantly resisting the power of petrification.
For a time, the two sides were at a stalemate.
