22. Gain magical abilities
Melina's harassment gradually took effect, and Seren's magic was ready.
At this time, Ash sensed that the attack of the [Iron Puppet] was not continuing, and rolled over and jumped onto the enemy's shoulder.
It turned out that the [Iron Puppet Puppet] withdrew the chainsaw disc, held his hands flat, and was accumulating strength, preparing for the next stage of the attack.
Ash decisively plunged his sword into the neck of the [Iron Puppet], and the pumpkin head was not to be outdone, picking up the big axe and slashing.
These two attacks interrupted the strategy of the [Iron Puppet Girl], and she had to give up the attack and prepare to defend.
As a result, a large area of pyroxene mixed with cold air rushed to the face, and it was wise to deal with the dragon's move, and to slow down its movements first.
This magic attack was performed by Roger and Seren, and the effect was by no means 1+1=2, and a large area of frost covered the entire [Iron Puppet].
This was definitely a good opportunity, as the ash made the pumpkin head retreat, and then leaped high into the air, and shot a large fireball at the Iron Puppet. Alternating between hot and cold, the mechanical gears in the [Iron Puppet Puppet] rattled, and the pumpkin head stepped forward again, giving it a hard blow, directly breaking the leg connection shaft of the [Iron Puppet Puppet].
Looking at the [Iron Puppet] who had fallen to the ground and could not pose a threat, Ash grabbed her shield and began to support Melina.
At this time, Melina has been driven into the corner by the second [Iron Torture Female Puppet], and the mechanical scimitar is more flexible than the chainsaw disc and has a wider attack range.
The ashes first burst into a storm of fire, and then a large fireball smeared its face, drawing hatred to it.
After the execution of the first [Iron Torture Female Puppet], the three Rogers were also quickly put into power.
The same tactics were played out again, and without the slightest surprise, the enemy soon fell.
Looking at the fragments of the [Iron Torture Female Puppet], Seren frowned slightly, these are mechanical alchemy creations, and they have nothing to do with the Academy of Magic. I don't know if the academy has been invaded by the owner of this creation, or if it has declined to the point where it needs to be guarded by other forces.
With these questions in mind, the crowd moved on.
After walking along the main road for nearly half an hour, there was no road ahead, and it was a broken bridge.
It's no wonder that Ash and his party fought with the [Iron Torture Female Puppet] and made such a big noise, but they didn't attract other enemies.
It turned out that the road had long been broken.
The ashes followed the broken bridge and looked around, although the main road was impassable.
However, you can climb through the beams under the bridge.
But the pumpkin head is too big, and Serian and Roger are weak.
In this case, only Ash and Melina can make it.
After everyone discussed, Ash and Melina went first, then looked for the ropes, and then pulled the others over.
As soon as he said it, Ash took the lead, with the shield behind him, firmly grasping the beam and moving forward.
As for Melina, there is no need to worry, her skills are very agile, and she has come to the opposite side in a few flashes.
Watching the ashes crawl to her feet, Melina fixed her body and pulled the ashes up.
Seeing this scene, Serian turned his head and asked Roger.
"Apprentice, do you think the two of them are worthy?"
"It looks like a good match, but there is already someone in Ash's heart."
"Apprentice, do you have anyone in your heart?"
Roger looked at Serian in surprise, it was the first time he looked at this teacher carefully, his beautiful face, and somehow he suddenly felt a little moved.
The pumpkin head on the side looked to the side a little...
Ash and Melina, unbeknownst to them, had been choreographed by Serian and began to search for the ropes.
Ash held the shield in front, and Melina held the dagger behind.
There was still silence ahead, as if the entire Academy of Magic had fallen into a deep sleep.
In front of a building, from the outside, it should be a library.
Looking at the closed door, Ash grabbed Melina, who wanted to enter, and instead gently opened the window with his bayonet sword and looked inside.
Melina followed the ashes' gaze and looked inside, which didn't matter, but made Melina break out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that there were three magicians standing in the room, and the spells in their hands had been formed, facing the door.
This kind of open-door killing, the ashes are no longer strange.
Judging from the quiet atmosphere, there must be cats.
Ash signaled that there was nothing needed here, and it was better not to alarm them.
Then take Melina with him and leave quietly.
The two of them tossed and turned several rooms, but still did not get anything. That's right, this is a magic academy, how can you just place ropes casually?
Ash intends to go deeper, even if he faces the Full Moon Empress alone, and fights to the death.
This kind of lonely battle is not unencountered, when there was no Brother Onion in front of the Fa King's door, he didn't survive it.
As a result, Melina grabbed the ashes and pointed to the lifting device on the left side, which resembled a waterwheel, and seemed to have made a discovery.
However, there were two guards stationed in this place, and the ash gestured, one left and one right, and touched forward.
Coming behind the guards, Ash strikes a kidney blow and takes out the enemy.
Looking to the right, Melina was already covering the guard's mouth. Blood gushed right on Melina's closed right eye at the cut throat.
Sensing the ashes' gaze, Melina tilted her head and smiled.
After dealing with the two guards, Melina whispered to Ash if she wanted to go down from here and see if there was a way to the outside of the academy.
If they can find a passage, they can come in from here.
Ash sounds like a good idea and prepares to explore the next step.
Follow the lifting device similar to a water wheel, and the further down you go, the quieter it becomes.
Then slowly you can hear the sound of running water, which makes the ashes happy, there is flowing water, it means that there is an outlet.
The two of them descended to the bottom of the valley and investigated along the flowing water, and sure enough, there was a cave not far away.
When you walk out of the cave, you will be greeted by a forest of blue crystals.
Looking at this strange crystalline forest, the ashes marked the entrance of the cave, and then took Melina south, preparing to circle back to the front of the magic academy and inform Serian and the others.
However, after walking a few steps, he was blocked by two dark blue humans, who seemed to be crystallized.
When the crystallizer saw the ashes, he didn't communicate with each other, and attacked in a strange way.
Before it could get close, the ash first fired a large fireball, which turned out to hit the crystallizer and seemed to be ineffective.
The crystallizer still jumped up and waved his great sword in his hand, slashing at the ashes.
One rolls, dodging the attack, and Ash raises his hand to stab.
As a result, the bayonet's attack was useless and was directly bounced away.
It's the first time I've encountered this kind of enemy, and I have to think about a strategy, and with a big jump from the ashes, I get out of the battle circle and quickly retreat.
Melina also returned in vain, and the crossbow was like shooting on granite, with no other result than being bounced off.
As for the golden attack of the short knife in her hand, Melina knew that it would work wonders against skeletons, and as for the crystallizer, forget it.
For a moment, both of them were stumped.
Suddenly, Ash thought about whether to try the devouring effect of the embers.
Just let Melina wait here, and then fight the crystallizers again.
After holding the shield to block the Crystallizer's attack, Ash found the opportunity to press his palm directly on the Crystallizer, releasing the embers.
The effect is surprisingly good, at the beginning, the crystallized man who is invulnerable to guns and magic is inviolable, as if it was being frozen rapidly, quickly loses its color, and finally shatters and scatters all over the ground.
Immediately afterward, Ash used the embers to kill the second crystallizer.
After the embers devoured the two crystallized people, they returned to the ashes.
A stream of blue energy began to revolve around the embers, like a starry sky around the sun.
Melina also saw this scene, and was even more curious about the ashes, and kept thinking in her heart.
"As long as he doesn't accept madness and returns the whole world to chaos, he may be able to open up a new era."
After feeling the ashes, his left hand was slowly raised above his head, and the dark blue light gradually distorted the air, and a long cone of magic suddenly appeared.
[Soul Arrow], this is the magic that Ash once used, I thought that this adventure could only be a knight of faith, but I didn't expect that embers could actually provide magical energy.
It's really good news, although the magic power is still very weak now, but the future is promising, [Soul Torrent] is not a vegetarian!
With a flick of his hand, the [Soul Giant Arrow] shot out in an instant, targeting a tree not far away.
There was no roar, only to see the [Soul Greatsword] sink into the trunk of the tree, and then the whole tree turned gray-white, and the leaves began to wither.
Attacks that specifically target the soul, physical defense is ineffective.
Watching the ashes release the magic without a wand once again refreshed Melina's cognition of what kind of "monster" she had traded with.
Seeing Melina's surprise, Ash explained a little.
"In our place, it's all wandless."
"Before I released the flame and prayed, it was also empty-handed, it was all talent."
Seeing that Melina seemed to be fooled, Ash thought to herself, it's good that she became the salary king, otherwise, cast spells without a wand? I'm afraid it's mentally retarded spellcasting!
After killing the crystallizer who stood in the way, Ash and Melina continued on their way while it was still early.
Walking out of the crystallized forest, his vision suddenly widened, and it turned out that not far away, it was the place where he had defeated the dragon and obtained the pyroxene key.
Seeing the familiar scene, Ash began to speed up, so that he could return to the Academy of Magic with the group before dark.
Soon, Ash saw the three of them, sitting on the floor, talking to each other.
When Roger turned his head to talk to Seren, he also saw the ashes and immediately stood up, seemingly puzzled. Didn't you just enter the academy, why did you come back from behind?
"I found a cave in the academy that leads directly to the crystallized forest in the back mountain, and now I can enter the academy from there."
"Crystallized Forest?" Serian seemed to remember something.
"I remember, it seems that the academy had mined pyroxene mines underground, and then it was attacked and abandoned."
"The cave you're talking about might be that one."
"It should be true, when we came out, we encountered two crystallizers, which is really difficult to deal with."
"But fortunately, I solved it, and now this road is safe."
"By the way, I still have magical abilities, and now I can learn magic."
The ashes returned with the crowd over and over again, recounting the experience of coming.
Roger was a little surprised: "Can you learn magic?" ”
"That's good news."
"At first, seeing your eagerness to understand faith and prayer, I thought you were a [secret agent]."
"Spy? What is it? ”
I've only heard that the ashes of mages and knights need popular science again.
