Chapter 18: The Necromancer and the Killer

Halfway through the night, dawn was far from coming.

Standing under the clear night sky, Ke Rui's wide cloak fluttered gently with the night wind, and his dark blue pupils looked at Lu not far away, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Lu Te's dim old eyes also lit up with the unique essence of a strong man, like a poisonous python in the jungle that locked its prey, quietly holding on to Ke Rui.

"You don't seem to be angry about the death of your two juniors. Curry said calmly as he looked at Root, a thin glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

And Rutte smiled, closed his eyes and bowed his head and shook his head: "I am a killer, I have long been accustomed to seeing the passing of life, especially for the weak, their lives are not in their hands in the first place, and death is only a matter of time." ”

"Oh, so those two guys are weaklings in your eyes?" said Curry's voice with a strange smile.

"At least, here, in front of you, that's the case, otherwise, they wouldn't have died. Root raised his eyes and swept over Curry.

"Oh...... It is the strong who are alive, and the weak who are dead, so it is. Curry nodded quite instructively, and then looked up at Lot's gaze, with a hint of wolf-like light: "That...... I'm much more relieved, because, as a businessman, I never lose money in the business I do!"

"That is, you will never die?" A smile appeared at the corner of Root's mouth, and a bloodthirsty fierce light lit up in his eyes.

"The ending was predestined from the beginning, but the people who saw it didn't say it. Curry's dark blue pupils returned to calm and waveless silence again, like the cold moonlight, shining straight into the deepest corner of the human heart.

Looked at like this, Root's face slowly became gloomy. With a snort, his body bowed slightly, and the next moment he rushed out like a cheetah, and pounced straight on Ke Rui who was standing in the carriage.

In the face of Root's ferocious attack, Curry didn't even move, just looked at Root's figure, gradually dilating in his pupils. The next moment-

"Boom!"

A violent metal thump sounded, and Root's body flew back at a faster speed than it had come, and it expertly flipped a few times in the air and landed firmly on the ground.

Raising his head, Rout looked solemnly ahead. Just between him and Ke Rui, an emaciated figure appeared at some point. He was about the same height as a normal person, with two faint soul fires dancing in his eye frame, his bone teeth were slightly open, and he carried a white bone giant sword that seemed to be bigger than himself, and there were several pitch-black cracks on the sword, which invisibly added a bit of power.

Just now, Root was slashed back by its sword.

"Undead creatures?"

Rout frowned, looked at Ke Rui, and there was a hint of abruptness in his eyes: "I see, no wonder why you always like to wear a black magic cloak and always wear a hood, obviously very good at words but don't take the initiative to talk to people, it turns out to be a necromancer! Moreover, looking at the level of this undead, it should be a high-level undead who has reached the eighth order, which means that you are at least a high-level necromancer at the level of a magister!"

"I didn't expect you to know a lot about necromancers, I thought the world had long forgotten that there was such a thing as 'undead' magic. Standing behind the Skeleton Great Swordsman, Curry looked down at Root, who was half-crouched on the ground. He was actually right, due to the scarcity of necromancers, necromancer magic was gradually unfamiliar to most people, so much so that it was called "witchcraft" in some remote places, which made necromancers cry and laugh.

"Because of a relationship, I'm very familiar with necromancy. Rout stood up, the corners of his mouth raised a weird smile that made people uncomfortable to look at, and looked at Curry with even more murderous intent: "Unfortunately, I hate that person very much!"

"Oh, yes, that's better. Just vent all your hatred for that person on me. The smile on the corner of Ke Rui's mouth became more obvious: "Let you leave with hatred, and there will be another troublesome undead for the undead world." ”

"I hope you don't regret it!" Root's eyes were cold, his hands and arms hanging at his sides shook slightly, and two black short blades printed with purple secret patterns slid out of his sleeves and were grasped by one of them. Just now, he used his arms to block the sword of the skeleton great swordsman, relying on these two short blades in his sleeve, otherwise he would not die now, and his arms would be useless.

"Profession, Killer, Rank 8 Warrior, Weapon, Twin Shadow Demon Blade, Purple Stigmata. Ke Rui's eyes moved slightly: "It's a second-level scattered killer of the Killer Manual Association, could it be that someone has given the task of killing someone in this convoy in the Killer Manual Association?"

"Qiangβ€”"

By the time Curry made an analysis in his mind, the Skeleton Great Swordsman and Rout had already exchanged hands, and the white bone swordsman and the black double blade struck head-on, resulting in the Skeletal Swordsman not moving at all, and Rout flew out again.

"It's such a domineering force, it seems that it can't come from the front, you have to rely on flexibility to win!"

Half-crouching on the ground again, Rout lowered his head and raised his eyelids to look at the skeleton swordsman, exhaled softly, and disappeared in place in an instant.

The soul fire in the skull swordsman's eye socket jumped, and he jumped up on the spot, and the big sword in his hand swung violently in a certain direction diagonally downward, and the sword qi erupted violently-

"Boom-"

Large swaths of the ground cracked, rubble and smoke erupted, and an afterimage quickly receded backwards, only to disappear again in an instant.

β€œ...... The Art of Trickery"

Feeling the slightest coolness on his neck, the smile on the corner of Ke Rui's mouth became a little more obvious. Behind him, Root, who suddenly appeared at some point, lifted the short blade up on Curry's neck again, almost sticking it to Curry's chin.

"Looks like you're familiar with killers, too. ”

Solve the battle with the most direct method and the fastest speed, this is the killer. Root is not stupid, instead of stupidly fighting with the undead, it is better to directly kill the necromancer who summons the undead, and as soon as the necromancer dies, the undead will naturally collapse without a fight.

Seeing that his master was in danger, the skeleton swordsman just wanted to step forward, but suddenly the soul fire in his eyes jumped, and he actually took two steps back, put down the big sword, and stood still.

"Like you, I am very familiar with the killer because of a relationship. The smile on the corner of Ke Rui's mouth remained unchanged, and the black robe covering his whole body moved slightly: "Unfortunately, my relationship with that person ...... It's okay. ”

"Poofβ€”"

Root's old eyes slowly widened, full of shock and doubt, and he let go of Curry and staggered back a few steps. Two black blades, similar to the short blades in his hand, were inserted into his chest and back, and the position of the one on the back seemed to be a wound before, but now it has completely become a fatal wound.

"Although Xilon's great sword is thick and blunt, the sword qi that comes out is still extremely sharp, continue to fight him, you will definitely die. Looking at the situation behind Root, Curry smiled: "The result is the same, my sneak attack method can be ignored." ”

The Xilong he was talking about naturally meant the Skeleton Great Swordsman. Since he has been subdued by himself, of course he must have a good and serious name.

"Poofβ€”"

Spurting out a mouthful of blood, Root half-knelt on the roof of the carriage, panting lowly, looking at the dark golden secret pattern on the black silk short blade inserted in his body, his pupils shrank suddenly:

"Twin Shadow Demon Blade...... Stigmata of Dark Gold!"

Raising his head suddenly, Rout stared at Curry deadly, his voice low to the extreme: "Who are you, why do you not only make our killer guild's unique killing technique, 'Trick Killing Technique', but also possess the Dark Gold Stigmata-level Twin Shadow Demon Blade, which is difficult for our top killers to obtain!"

"I said, because of a person's relationship, I am very familiar with your killers, and I am also familiar with the killer's basic killing methods, the trick of killing, which is just one of them. Curry looked at Root, shook his head suddenly, sighed, and continued, "As for the Dark Gold Stigmata-level Twin Shadow Demon Blade, it was the last gift he gave me before going to Hell. ”

"What......" Root's eyes flashed with disbelief, he really didn't expect that things would be like this!

"Although because of the mage's weak physique, the trick I cast is only a trick, and if I can't succeed in one move, it will be useless, but with this Dark Gold Stigmata-level Twin Shadow Demon Blade, no one has been able to survive after I am sure to cast a trick. A smile appeared on the corner of Ke Rui's mouth, "It's a preparation made by me, a mage, to prevent people like you from making a surprise attack, how about it, it's fun." ”

"I'm unlucky to run into you. Root endured the pain and breathed hard. Although mortally wounded, the killer will not die so easily. He looked up and looked at Curry, there was no more hatred in his eyes, in fact, it seemed as if there was nothing left.

How many times, how many times have he imagined what he would look like when he died, how many times he imagined the feeling of death, but when this moment really came, he couldn't feel anything.

"Are you going to die......"

Rout closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a smile at this time, a real smile.

...... A killer has long looked down on the loss of life, especially for the weak, their life is not in their own hands from the beginning, and death is only a matter of time......

"I have one more question," Curry looked at Root, his eyes blank, "You received the task, who are you here to kill?"
