Chapter 144: Asylum
Under the nervous gaze of the four, Galil's headless body fell weakly to the ground, and the severed human head rolled several times in the standing water on the side of the road, leaving a long trail of fading blood.
After seeing Galil die, the other three all breathed a sigh of relief, but Amanda, who was holding the long sword in her hand, frowned alone, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Be careful, this guy was too weird before, and he may not be dead."
Amanda said as she took out the magical mirror to check the situation.
"Not dead yet? How can it be. ”
The ranger with the dagger in his hand asked, puzzled, and walked up to Galil's corpse with a few steps, stretched out his foot and stomped on the head of the fallen man with a puzzled expression on his face.
"This guy has even had his head cut off, is it possible that he can be-"
"Something!"
His eyes widened in horror suddenly, and he quickly retracted his outstretched right foot, and then, under the gaze of the four people around him, the originally lifelike human head on the ground disintegrated little by little, and finally completely turned into a cloud of flying ash and melted into the air.
The four of them raised their weapons in unison and looked around vigilantly, but before they could communicate with each other, Galil's body and blood on the ground also began to annihilate, and disappeared in a few seconds, leaving only the opponent's originally severed right leg to be washed by the rain.
"Hell, this is a special ability, we were scammed!"
Amanda's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he quickly clicked on the mirror in his hand a few times, and then the map of Theresa City was projected on the ground again, marked with a red dot that was moving rapidly in the distance, and a line of small words "Galil Barrios" floating next to the red dot.
"Chase, he's injured and can't run far."
Amanda hatefully slashed at the right leg left by Galil on the ground, and the power of his furious qi and blood flew out, blasting it into a cloud of blood mist in an instant.
"Follow me, the previous ability can't be used again for a short time, so be careful not to make too much noise."
After quickly confirming the direction of Galil's escape on the map, Amanda immediately gave the order, and the power of qi and blood all over his body surged, and the whole person turned into an afterimage and rushed quickly into the distance.
The other three nodded their heads and disappeared into the rainy night.
……
……
"A bunch of damn brutes, wait, as long as I escape this catastrophe, sooner or later you will be good-looking!"
The wind blew across Galil's hideous cheeks, making his robes rattle in the air, and the power of his veins surged throughout his body, desperately trying to speed up his flight.
He cursed the sneak attackers frantically in his mind, while trying to think of a way to break the game, trying to get rid of the other party's possible pursuit in order to have a precious chance to survive.
The four of them, and they are all trainee-level professionals with strong combat effectiveness, this is not a small battle, since the other party relied on someone he knew a few months ago to lure him to that place, it means that they have definitely been planning for a long time, and even made adequate preparations in advance.
In this case, even if Galil used the talent spell he had been hiding to escape by surprise, he didn't dare to bet on whether the enemy would have the means to track him, so the only thing he could do now was to burn the xenomorph aether in his body with all his might, and quickly get to a safe place with the help of a short flight.
Yes, short flights.
Under normal circumstances, the spells or combat skills with flying effects that a trainee class can learn will not allow them to soar in the air for a long time, but will keep them in a relatively low speed and short state of being in the air.
Normally, the 10-volt xenoether-induced flight state will travel at a speed of about 25 to 75 meters per second, with a duration of about 5-15 seconds.
It sounds great, but if you compare this effect to other booster abilities that cost the same, it's a bit far off.
Let's take the most ordinary swiftness technique as an example, the mana consumed by the apprentice-level standard version of this spell is also 10 volts, and after blessing swiftness, the increase speed will fluctuate according to the different constitutions of the recipient.
Generally, after using this spell on himself, it is not a problem for a normal trainee-level mage to increase his movement speed to thirty or forty meters per second, but as for the duration of the spell, it is even longer, even if he has been running fast with high consumption, it can basically be maintained for more than five minutes.
The speed is almost the same, the duration is the best of other spells, and most of the flying abilities of the probation level are lost in this way, and can only be used in a few special situations.
That's right, Galil is now facing a situation where the ability to use flying is a good one.
Because there are many layers of houses in the city, weaving along the streets and alleys will inevitably slow down the movement speed considerably, and if you choose to jump on the rooftop, you may step on the dwellings of other professions and be counterattacked.
Of course, the most critical point now is that Galil's right leg has been broken, and even if he uses ordinary methods, he can't run far at all, so he can only delay time by flying and try to find a possible glimmer of life.
Silently calculating the power of the bloodline in his body, Galil's face became more and more anxious, and he vaguely felt that several people in the distance were persistently chasing after him, judging from the fluctuation of spiritual power, it must be the four black-clothed people who attacked him!
"So fast...... The stand-in created by sacrificing himself and stubbornly didn't even last half a minute. ”
Galil gritted his teeth, took out a bottle of potion from his coat pocket and poured it into his mouth, slightly replenishing the power of the lost bloodline, and increasing his speed again.
The talent spell he had previously used was called "Sacrifice Resistance", a spell derived from a special monster called the Winged Parasite, and the name of the spell "Sacrifice Body" literally means to create a false body and discard it while controlling it to resist enemy attacks.
And "sacrificing" also comes at a price, once he uses this talent spell, he will slowly fall into an extremely severe state of weakness within five minutes, which can only be slowly recovered by the passage of time, and can hardly be artificially expelled.
At the same time, he cannot cast the spell again for the duration of this state, so once caught, he quickly loses the ability to resist and can only be slaughtered by the enemy.
……
As time passed, Galil's heart became more and more desperate, he knew that Reinado's estate was almost on the other side of Teresa City, and judging by the current rate of consumption of bloodline power, he would definitely not be able to survive that time.
What to do?
Just as he was at a loss for what to do, Galil suddenly had Sean's face and his glorious past in his mind.
At this time, Galil realized that he also had a mysterious ally living nearby, and with the strength of the other party, even if he was not able to defeat the four people chasing after him, he could at least escape with him or delay for a while.
As for whether that would be a bad one......
It doesn't matter so much! It's a big deal to apologize and compensate later, and now it's the most important thing to save your life first!
Galil gritted his teeth, immediately turned around, and flew towards the small villa in his memory.
Although the mysterious alchemy mage named Sean had never been involved in any combat activities, he had visited Reynado once shortly after joining Reinado's faction, so the exact address was fairly clear.
The enemy chasing after him also seemed to have discovered Galil's intentions, and immediately increased his speed, chasing him after him with all his might, trying to stop him in advance.
500 meters......
400 meters......
300 meters......
It's getting closer!
A look of ecstasy appeared on Galil's face, and not far in front of him, the villa covered in the magic of the defense and detection rituals became extremely conspicuous in the psychic detection.
"Sean Morton! Enemy attack! Help me! ”
……
……
A few seconds earlier, Sean had been awakened by a tingling sensation in his soul, and when he opened his eyes in surprise, he immediately saw Celia kissing him sleeping very soundly.
Her long pale blonde hair was scattered behind her head, her delicate face was close at hand, and her thin lips were tightly pressed against Sean's face, conveying a warm feeling.
"Uh......h Uh-huh...... Lord, master?! ”
Celia muttered a few words cutely, then opened her eyes in a daze and looked at Sean blankly.
Then, when she realized that her master had woken up and that she had just taken offense, she was instantly startled.
"I ...... I was wrong......"
Celia shrunk her neck slightly, and looked at Sean pitifully, she had planned to stop after a sneak kiss, but she didn't expect that feeling to be so good that she even accidentally fell asleep.
But this kind of thing, it shouldn't matter much if you do it a little bit...... Right?
Just as Celia had this thought, she noticed that Sean's face instantly became extremely serious and even a little annoyed, and then she suddenly jumped out of bed to put her robe back on, and raised her hand to wave the staff placed next to the bed into her hand.
Seeing that Sean's reaction was so big, Celia thought that her previous behavior had made her master angry, so she was immediately frightened and her whole body trembled, and she wanted to immediately kneel at her master's feet and ask for forgiveness, and then sacrifice everything she had to appease her master's anger.
After all, in the past eight months, it was the first time she had seen Sean with this appearance, and even if she didn't look at her directly, Cilia could feel the sense of soul oppression and terrifying deterrence emanating from the inside out.
……
However, Sean didn't care about her performance.
In fact, his expression at the moment was not aimed at Celia, but at the uninvited guest outside the house, as well as several enemies with ill intentions.
A few seconds ago, when Galil's mental power swept through Sean's house with all his might, the magic of the warning ritual he had arranged was instantly activated, and immediately alerted Sean, that is, by stimulating his soul to wake him up.
This kind of stimulation is definitely not a good experience, especially when Sean is sleeping on the bed with his little maid in his arms, and the whole person is annoyed when he is like this.
"Okay, it's finally delivered to the door, I want to see how powerful you are, I really think four people are invincible, right?"
Sean sneered, and with a flick of the staff he held in his hand, the window of the room was immediately opened by him, and the defense level of the entire villa was raised to the highest point in a very short time.
"You stand here and don't move, don't you go out, do you hear me?"
Sean glanced at Celia, who was kneeling on the bed and didn't dare to make a sound, and quickly gave her his own order, and then flew straight out of the open window, intending to meet the five guys outside for a while.
……
"Ahem...... Ahem...... Damn ......"
Galil was propped up on the ground with his hands, blood was constantly spitting out from his mouth, his face was extremely pale, his right leg had disappeared, and at the same time there was a strange-looking arrow pierced in his chest, and the whole person looked extremely bad.
"How...... It's not out yet......"
As the poison and the poison applied to the arrow attacked, Galil only felt that his body became limp, and then he fell to the ground weakly, as if he had lost consciousness, and even the pain gradually subsided.
This arrow was given to him in advance by the ranger who was still rushing towards him in the distance, although it was not strong, but it also became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and it combined with the side effects of "sacrificing oneself and resisting", so that Galil no longer had any power to resist.
He looked at the gate of Sean's courtyard extremely unwillingly, wondering why the other party hadn't shown up yet, could it be that Sean had gone out so late? That's unlucky......
"Die!"
The three apprentice-level professionals except the Ranger finally arrived, and with a fierce look in their eyes, they raised their hands and smashed their deadly attacks towards Galil's vital point, looking extremely powerful.
Just as Galil lay motionless on the ground waiting for death, suddenly, a huge cube of bones rose from the ground and contained him in an instant.
The violent energy fluctuations spread, and the attacks of several other people on him were immediately blocked out of the wall, and the bones made of unknown substances seemed to be extremely hard, whether it was slashed or burned, it could be perfectly followed.
Galil's eyes widened with excitement, not knowing who had saved him, and he struggled to get up from the ground, trying to get the other party to leave with him.
"A few rats who don't dare to show their faces, what are you trying to do when you come to my door?"
An indifferent and contemptuous voice sounded not far away, as if it felt a visceral disdain for the four people who pursued him, and Galil quickly judged the identity of the other party from this sentence, he was the owner of the house, the mysterious alchemy mage "Sean Morton".
