Chapter 21: Storm and Sand
Chapter 21: The Storm and the Sand
After a sharp and piercing sound, Carly Jasmine pushed Yingma forward, and she leaned back again, and the two of them were able to dodge the arrow.
An ugly arrow, after shooting the two of them, stuck in the stone wall on the other side of the room, then shattered itself into pieces of sand, and then turned into scattered sand and fell to the floor.
Then there were a few roars from outside the door, and this time Carly Jasmine tightened her grip on the staff, and the jewel at the top of the wooden staff, which seemed to be weak and could break at any moment, bloomed red again.
A breeze blew through Ingma's sideburns, and he was about to get Kali Jasmine to cast a dreadnought spell on him so that he could rush up and confront the so-called "sand orcs", but then the roar got closer and closer, and Ingma felt nervous.
But he couldn't do anything now but see what Carly Jasmine did.
With a dazzling burst of red lightning, there were two more halves of the corpses of the sand orcs on the ground at the door of Yingma's room, and those corpses continued to flow out of dark yellow sand and slowly die. The two long knives with disgusting serrations that had fallen to the ground also slowly rotted and turned into sand, flowing down the cracks in the stone bricks.
Yingma was about to say that these sand orcs were so vulnerable, but she heard a sound of breaking the air, and quickly hid next to the door, her back pressed against the wall. And Carly Jasmine was standing on the other side of the door in this position, and the red glow on the tip of the staff did not diminish in the slightest.
Carly Jasmine kept gesturing with her left hand, but Yingma kept shaking her head, indicating "What are you talking about?" At this time, there was another sound of breaking the air, and it seemed that the sand orcs outside the door saw that the woman with the staff here was too vicious, and they also became timid, so they had to hide in the dark and suppress the enemy with bows and arrows.
The orcs shot a dozen arrows, and the porch fell silent again.
The light from the Dragon's Throat Tower's porch came from the light ball spell cast by the occupants and the sunlight that came in through the windows during the day, and now there was no mage in the porch who used the light ball technique, and the sky was getting dark.
"What about the others?" asked Yingma, unable to endure the darkness and dead silence.
Carly Jasmine immediately made a gesture of silence, lowered her voice and said, "Don't make a sound, those monsters have more ears than we do!"
Before the words fell, another arrow was fired, and this time it flew in diagonally from outside the door, less than two meters away from Yingma's body. "I learned to be obedient. Yingma only felt her heart tighten and gasp for breath.
After a while, the sound of footsteps and the low roar of the orcs reached the ears of Yingma and Kali Jasmine, and they immediately realized that a bold orc was about to enter the room. Yingma actually felt a little expectant, after all, it was better to wait in the dark than to wait until the other party made the first move, so that even if she died, she didn't have to tremble in fear.
But Kali Jasmine ignored the beginner's newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers, but just tightened her grip on the staff, and the jewel at the top quietly turned and pointed to the door. Now in the dimness she could only see the outline of the door, and her Séval mask had kept out the stench of the orcs, and now she was almost blind with only hearing.
Yingma also sneaked up on a candlestick, and since beating Arashi Hayabusa once with it, he has developed an inexplicable love for it. He held the candlestick above his shoulder, ready to knock it to the head as the sand orc pierced through the doorframe.
The footsteps and roars were getting closer and closer, and Yingma was about to make a move, but she saw that in the darkness, Carly Jasmine's figure suddenly turned, and the follower struck first, and the staff once again burst into a red storm, followed by the wails and roars of the orcs.
But this time, neither of them knew whether the blow just now had destroyed the bold orc, only that the orcs had been inspired and had even let out angry roars.
"Looks like they're going to rush in. Ima said, the joints of his hands clenching the candlesticks white.
Carly Jasmine didn't respond in the slightest, and didn't have time to respond, for even in the darkness a long serrated knife could be seen waving in the doorway. It was another red light, and the sharp red light was like a magic hammer at this moment, with a sharp wind sound, the long knife was directly hammered into a ball of scrap metal, and then turned into sand and fell.
Yingma could see clearly, and an orc immediately rushed in, although only a tall humanoid could be seen in the darkness, Yingma could also imagine its ugly appearance. He screamed, and the menorah slammed into the orc's head (at least Ingma decided that she was targeting the orc's head). The direction of this blow can be described as accurate, but it is a pity that the orc is wearing an iron helmet, and Yingma's smash is like "cutting diamonds with a wooden sword".
"Get out of the way!" exclaimed Kali Jasmine, the orc already holding up a hand (Ingma couldn't think of anything else) that still held half of the hilt, and the remnants of the blade on it were still sharp though they were still falling into sand.
The sand orc was about to slash down, but suddenly heard a crisp sound, and then looked at the source of the sound, only to see that the arm and palm of his hand were no longer a whole. But it couldn't comprehend what had severed the connection—after all, the creature of the shadows hadn't yet understood the essence of wind control, and the next second, a powerful beam of wind passed through its skull, and a stream of pus and blood made of sand gushed out.
More orcs poured in, and Carly Jasmine actually stood in the door with a staff, and Yingma could only hide in a daze, although she kept shouting to herself in her heart, "You coward, go and help your guide!" But in fact, he really couldn't do anything, and he didn't even dare to shout and cheer, for fear that more of these orcs would be invited.
But he still held the somewhat smashed candlestick and stood behind Carly Jasmine.
Carly Jasmine was holding the staff sideways at the moment, the gem at the top emitted a faint blue light, and there were three sand orcs crowded at the door in front of her, all of whom seemed to be frightened by this black-robed person. But both Inma and Kali Jasmine can be sure that the three monsters will throw away the sense of fear they don't have at any moment and rush in.
Sure enough, just as Yingma was about to observe the orc, the sand orc who was squeezed in the middle, the scorpion-headed monster with two pairs of red eyes suddenly screamed, and rushed towards Kali Jasmine with a long knife.
At the same moment, Yingma heard her guide whisper some kind of profound spell incantation, and then the next second, the four-eyed monster was silently broken into three halves, and at a rapid rate of decay into sand.
This did not deter the other two orcs who were eyeing him in the slightest, one of whom was quite human, with a horn growing on the left side of his head, which looked rather strange and funny, but his ugly face would not allow anyone to laugh when they saw him. And now he and another accomplice raised their long knives and slashed at Carly Jasmine.
Carly, Jasmine, who had just slain a sand orc with a fantastical and subtle wind control spell, didn't slack off in the slightest, and the two orcs rushed slightly in front of him, and one of them was torn into four or five pieces by the wind energy stream controlled by the skilled elemental mage.
The other was about to rush in front of Carly Jasmine, and his head was gently cut off, but the terrible thing was that although the orc's head was cut off, and his whole body was constantly corrupting into sand and falling and dissipating, the body still continued to want to kill Carly Jasmine before his death.
Seeing that the long knife was about to slash at the seemingly defenseless Carly Jasmine driven by the corpse, Ima shouted "Be careful" and wanted to rush forward and block his guide.
When Yingma's hand was about to touch the corner of Kali Jasmine's clothes, she suddenly felt a momentum coming towards her, and her whole body actually rose from the ground, and she was pushed away by this momentum. As he flew away from Carlyjasmine, he saw that the long knife held by the corpse could no longer get an inch close to Carlyjasmine, and was completely torn apart by the unseen and palpable flow of wind energy.
Luckily, Carly Jasmine managed to control her strength a bit, allowing Inma to stand on the floor more comfortably instead of falling on her back.
"Beginner Ingma, I'm very sorry. Carly Jasmine's tone finally returned to indifference and composure, and the gem light at the tip of the staff dimmed.
And Yingma no longer heard the roar from outside the porch, thinking that this time it was finally too peaceful, so she nodded and said, "Carly Jasmine, without you, I might have died under the swords of these sand orcs." ”
"I'll let the elders know as soon as possible, and I'll help you clear another room later. Carly Jasmine said softly, and Yingma only felt grateful and ashamed, so she had to stand there with her head down, but the doubts in her heart still drove him to ask:
"Why don't you use dreadnought on me?"
"Because the timing of the Enlightenment Heraldor is very appropriate, and my judgment is that it is a wrong time to use the Dreadnought on you, you have near-zero physical strength and fighting talent, and you are facing a few crazy orcs instead of the unsuspecting usurper of the Iho Kingdom and the captain of the Athletic Captain of the Source Heart City. ”
"Thank you. Yingma finally said with difficulty.
To his surprise, this follower of Sevar's dogma, Carly Jasmine, said in a lively and cheerful tone:
"Because I'm an elemental mage, I don't know how to be fearless. ”
