Chapter 148: The Rising Sun in the City
"Senior Daniel."
Roy looked at the Moon Shadow, "Time is pressing, please lead the way." ”
Assuming that his teammates were besieged in the city, even if Moon Shadow blessed "Speed" ran out of the city at full speed to call for help, it would take at least nearly two hours to come and go.
The longer the time drags on, the slimmer their hopes of survival.
Daniel nodded, led the way in front, and the four of them hurried straight into the ancient city.
The closer they got to the ancient city, the more the skeleton monsters gathered, and a skeleton swordsman roaming the gates noticed their approach.
All that was left of the skeleton swordsman was a skeleton, covered in tattered armor, and his eyes shimmered with dark blue flames.
It opened its mouth, let out a high-pitched, hoarse roar, and slashed at them with its sword.
"Be careful!"
Considering that Roy and Arya are both newcomers, Cocoa subconsciously reminded her, and then raised her staff to perform her skills.
But Roy was faster than her, and the Dark Three Styles in his left hand condensed into a spiritual power fist blade, meeting the skeleton swordsman's long sword, and staggered past it.
The skeletal swordsman stood in place, its head split in two with its sword, and then its body collapsed as if it were a shelf, shattering into bones.
The broken bones were quickly weathered into white powder, and in a short time, only a faint blue phosphorus fire swayed slightly in the wind was left on the ground.
The Skeleton Swordsman is the most common monster in the Lost Ruins, but it is only of the third order.
And Roy had already reached the fifth order with the blessing of Joyeuse, so it was naturally easy to kill it in seconds.
After killing the Skeleton Swordsman, Roy and the others did not let their guard down, and the movement of the battle just now had already attracted the attention of other monsters nearby.
A skeleton knight on a bone horse with a spear in his hand galloped towards Roy and the others, and behind it, several skeleton swordsmen followed in its footsteps.
Arya holds Joyeul in her hand, alongside Roy. At the same time, Cocoa's skill casting behind him has also been completed.
She pointed her staff forward, and an invisible spiritual shock slapped towards the group of skeleton monsters like a tidal wave.
Priest's 4th Rank Skill [Psychic Concussion]: Inflicts an Area of Effect Soul Attack on an area and inflicts a stun.
The skeleton knight bore the brunt of the attack, and was hit by the concussion, and the momentum of the charge suddenly slowed down, and he staggered to the point that he almost fell off his horse.
The group of skeleton swordsmen behind it who were slightly less powerful were even more unbearable, the dark blue flames in their eyes were like candles blown out by the wind, and their bodies suddenly collapsed into white bones.
Taking advantage of the skull knight's stunned moment, Roy stretched out his right hand, took out the black sniper from the spatial ring, and raised his hand to be an arrow.
The exploding arrow shattered the Skeleton Knight's skull, and it fell from the bone horse and turned into dust.
Arya used the Sword of Dawn to enchant Joyeus into a golden greatsword, slashing off the skull.
"It's amazing......"
Daniel watched dumbfounded.
The density of monsters on this level is quite high, and they generally have a sense of coordination, and many times they have to face several, or even a dozen monsters at the same time.
So they are third-graders...... No, even for inheritors who have already graduated, navigating the Lost Ruins can be quite challenging.
And Roy and Arya, who are just first-year students, are so comfortable in this sixth-layer strategy, which makes him, a senior, a little ashamed to see it.
Of course, the only way to kill this skeleton team so quickly was due to Cocoa's area damage skills.
But seeing Roy and Arya's calm expressions, it was clear that they still had some energy to spare.
Should I say that he is worthy of being a gifted lawyer? Even if Cocoya wasn't there, they would have been able to complete the rescue operation without a hitch.
"Well done, two."
Cocoa walked over and looked at the city gate, "As you can see, these skeleton monsters will support each other.
"There will be more monsters in the city than outside the city, so in order to prevent being entangled by them, we try to be careful not to alarm them."
Roy nodded, and then Daniel led the way, and the four of them quickly infiltrated the interior of the ancient city.
For third-year students Cocoya and Daniel, they have already visited the city countless times and are already familiar with the streets of the ancient city.
Roy and Arya, on the other hand, were here for the first time, and they followed Daniel through the alleyways while observing the buildings in the ancient city in a novel way.
The history of this ancient city seems to be very old, the surface of the buildings is mottled and somewhat peeling, and generally low.
Since the development of Sidnia, the Upper Town has long been very prosperous, because of the increase in population, most of the buildings are more than three floors.
Low houses such as the ancient city, which are only one or two floors, can only be seen in the lower city or in the underground city.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps and horses' hooves from across the street, and Daniel, who was walking in the front, paused, and quickly flashed sideways into the house on the side.
Everyone hid inside, holding their breath, and quietly waited for the skeleton monster on the street to go away.
Through the window, a Skeleton Knight can be seen passing by the house where they are hiding with a team of Skeleton Swordsmen, passing them by.
Roy breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are these monsters going to break into the house?" ”
If their perception is a little sharper, hiding in the house is tantamount to cutting themselves off and cocooning themselves.
Ke Keya shook her head: "Generally speaking, the monsters in the city will not break into residential buildings.
"They won't break into the house until they have an ownerless phosphorus fire in the house and they perceive the smell of the phosphorus fire."
"There's one more thing I'm concerned about."
Roy followed the group out of the house and onwards as he asked, "Why is the architecture of this ancient city so well maintained?" ”
Just now he looked around the house, although the space inside was not large, but there were all kinds of household items such as beds, tables and chairs, cabinets, etc., as if no one had been here at all.
They also walked along the road, although the buildings on the left and right sides of the street were somewhat dilapidated, but few collapsed and destroyed, and basically maintained the normal appearance of the city.
This is not a normal thing, you must know that before that, countless raiders have come here.
There must be many inheritors of these raiders who can use the area attack skill, and it is not uncommon for them to accidentally destroy a few buildings when fighting monsters in the city.
"Because it's a cursed ancient city."
Cocoa replied, "In this world, the skeleton monsters we kill will never really die, and every once in a while, they will regenerate in the city.
"The same is true of the buildings of this ancient city, which will be restored to their original state not long after they are destroyed.
"Of course, this doesn't mean that we can do whatever we want here, the movement of destroying the building is quite large, and it will attract lord-level monsters in the city.
"Therefore, the first thing to attack this world is still to ensure the ...... of covert operations."
Cocoya's words stopped at this point, and in front of her, Daniel jumped into a low room about four meters high in order to take a shortcut.
This height is naturally nothing for a battle-type inheritor like Roy and Arya, but Cocoa is a priest after all, and her height is less than one and a half meters.
Just as she hesitated, Arya walked up to her and squatted down: "Deputy Minister, let's go up together." ”
"Thanks......" Cocoa hugged her back, and Arya leaped onto the roof, and Roy followed suit.
On the roof, Daniel pointed to a two-story building across the street and said, "My teammates, just hide there." ”
Roy looked in Daniel's direction, his eyes frozen, "That's ......"
At the bottom of the building were a dozen skeleton swordsmen and several skeleton knights, as well as a skeleton giant that was more than two meters tall.
It was dressed in heavy armor, with a tattered hooded cloak on the outside of its armor, and a huge mace as high as it carried on its shoulder.
"Skeleton Captain, a lord-level monster of the Lost Ruins."
On the top of the building, Cocoa stared at the skeleton giant, her expression became serious, "Although it is only a fifth-order, it is much more difficult than ordinary fifth-order demonic beasts.
"Beside the Captain, there is a team of Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Swordsmen escorting him at all times, and fighting in the ancient city will also attract the attention of the other Captains.
"If you want to fight it, be prepared to be besieged by other skeleton squads."
Roy asked, "Senior Daniel, the reason why these monsters are gathered here is because of the 'Ownerless Phosphorus Fire' in this house?" ”
Daniel nodded: "There are two rooms on the second floor of this house, one of which is empty, and the other room has an ownerless phosphorus fire.
"When we found ourselves surrounded, we immediately gave up the phosphorus fire and hid in the empty room next door.
"I was supposed to stay in the next room with my teammates, but my captain told me to sneak away first and go for help.
He said that even if they were found by the monster next door, at least one person would be able to get rid of them.
As he spoke, Daniel clenched his fists, and the corners of his eyes were a little red.
The four-person squad with an average strength of the fourth order is not at all the opponent of the fifth-order soldier captain and the subservient monsters around him.
In the previous raiding activities, they had been wandering cautiously around the periphery of the ancient city, while avoiding the patrols of the skeleton soldiers, but they didn't expect the appearance of the ownerless phosphorus fire to lure it over.
In other words, not only the soldiers on the street, but also other enemies in this building...... Roy comforted as he pondered:
"Don't worry, this building still looks intact on the outside, which means that there hasn't been a battle yet, and the monsters shouldn't have spotted them yet."
After saying that, he looked at Cocoa again and asked, "Are we going to stay where we are and wait for these monsters to disperse after absorbing the phosphorus fire, or do we annihilate them all in one go?" ”
As the deputy director of the strategy department, although she is usually in charge of the internal affairs of the strategy department, she also has a wealth of experience in going out to raid, and her advice should be more reliable.
"The companions on the second floor are the equivalent of hostages of the monsters, and no one knows when the monsters next door will find them, and we don't know how long they will stay here."
Cocoa's brows furrowed, "If we attack them when they are attacked by monsters, the risk of them being injured will be greatly increased......"
She glanced down at the Skeleton Soldier Captain and his skeletal minions roaming the streets, and quickly decided:
"Let's do it, we should be strong enough to annihilate them quickly!
"Arya and I are in charge of cleaning up the monsters on the street, Roy, you and Dannett go up the roof together, support your companions trapped in the room on the second floor, and work with them to deal with the monsters in the building.
"Then we gathered downstairs and retreated. Remember, you have to be fast, and get out of here before the monsters around us are surrounded by nearby monsters! ”
Roy nodded: "I'm fine, the monsters on the street will be left to you...... Arya, as well as Cocoa's seniors. ”
"Don't worry."
Cocoa waved her staff and said confidently, "Thanks to Arya, I'm a high-ranking priest now.
"Let me show you how powerful the power of the high-level inheritors really is!"
The rescue plan was ready, and Roy and Daniel looked at each other, and at the same time they blessed themselves with a quick ride, running a few steps on the roof, and then jumping towards the opposite roof.
The figures of the two crossed the street as lightly as swallows, and successfully reached the opposite roof after a standard movement.
Sensing the subtle movement above his head, the soldier captain standing on the street looked up and met Cocoa's gaze on the edge of the roof.
The skull under its tattered hood looked hideous and terrifying, and Cocoa took a deep breath, the staff in her hand pointing condescendingly at the skeleton captain.
Strong spiritual power fluctuations came from her body, and mysterious magic circles quickly took shape.
Ke Keya felt the spiritual power surging in her body, and her eyes showed a hint of excitement.
This was the first time she had used a sixth-order inheritance skill, and it would take several years of penance to advance to a high-level priest with her own cultivation progress.
And with Arya's help, now she can finally experience the power of the sixth-order inheritor in advance.
As the spiritual power on her body fluctuated more and more violently, the skeleton soldier captain downstairs also seemed to be agitated.
With a kick of its feet, it leaped towards Cocoya on the roof, a giant two-meter-long mace in her hand slashing at her head.
If this stick hits, let alone Cocoa, I'm afraid that even this low house will be directly smashed.
Compared to this giant mace, Cocoa's figure looked even more petite, but there was no trace of fear on her face, and the magic circle was also constructed at this moment-
"Brilliant Shot!"
Before the skeletal soldier's mace could hit Cocoa, the circle she had summoned suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light.
A pure white beam of spiritual power shot out from the circle, engulfing the soldier's majestic and huge body, and along with its mace, annihilating it into gray embers.
Light attribute skills have always been the natural enemies of necromantic monsters, and several skeleton knights and skeleton swordsmen downstairs were rubbed by the aftermath of the spiritual power beam, and they dissipated into a cloud of dust.
Before the attack was over, a figure jumped down from the roof of the building, quickly condensed a golden sword in his hand, and slashed at the heads of the few surviving skeleton monsters on the street!
The golden greatsword split a skeleton knight and his horse in half, and Arya fell into the skull swordsman's encirclement, golden flames burning in her eyes.
At the same time, her whole body was also shrouded in a golden-red aura, as if a dawning morning sun was rising from the ancient city.
All the skeletal swordsmen who tried to approach her were lit with a golden flame, which was then reduced to ashes in the baptism of the flame.
Stepping on the ashes of the ground, Arya's expression was resolute and solemn.
Wherever the golden greatsword passed, all the monsters were wiped out.
