Volume 1 The Tale of the Blacksmith Chapter 43 Fierce Battle in the Dark Room
"Ah, you're finally back."
When the emir saw that nothing had happened to her, the sadness on his face suddenly dissipated.
It was really uncomfortable to wait for the outcome of the battle alone, and he was afraid that such a beautiful girl would be killed by a monster.
He wanted Lilith to help in the battle, but when he thought that his mission was to destroy the tentacles in front of him, and that it was also related to the war situation between humans and demons, he didn't dare to slack off.
Now, he was genuinely happy to see Margaret back.
"That's nature, I'm the legendary Emerald Witch." Margaret crossed her waist and said without modesty.
"Uh, do you witches still have titles?" The emir asked.
"Well," Margaret nodded, explaining, "It's not just me, all witches in the empire have titles, this is a conventional rule, but this title is taken by myself, the witch organization I belong to is called Pandora's Box, and they all use specific colors as titles, for example, the leader of our organization is called Red Flame Witch, who is good at fire magic." ”
"I see, doesn't that male magician have a title?"
"Well, as far as I know, no, and I don't know why, after all, magic has been born among humans for more than a hundred years, and this kind of thing is probably only known to those who create magic."
"That's right." The emir was thoughtful, and then returned to the topic, "So what do we do with this thing next?" Moving back? ”
"I don't need to move, I have props here to use space magic." Margaret said, pulling out a jewel necklace.
This is exactly what she snatched from the gatekeeper of the town's restaurant, and although she was willing to pay this price in order to infiltrate Lydia's house, she felt sorry for her money, and the necklace she had bought from an old magician at a high price.
Like the ring on the Emir's hand, her necklace had a tiny emerald hanging from the end, with a magic circle in it.
Margaret infused the magic into it and released the magic in it, because with more magic bonuses, the space created by this magic circle would be larger.
However, just as the glassware in front of them was about to be sucked into the magic array, a tall black shadow actually reappeared.
Margaret reacted quickly and immediately gave up on releasing the spell, then distanced herself.
Although the goal of the magic array was determined from the beginning, even if Allison stood in front of the target, he would not be sucked into the magic array.
But at such a close distance, if she continued to maintain the magic array, Allison could hurt her almost instantly.
Taken aback, the emir hurriedly summoned Lilith to help.
The dragon's massive figure instantly appeared in the dark room, which was fortunately large enough to accommodate her, otherwise they would have been squeezed into meatloaf.
This was indeed an occasion that would put the Emir's life in danger, so Lilith's brain was immediately fed with information about the current battle situation.
She didn't hesitate to spit out the dragon's breath, wanting to burn Allison to ashes, but she didn't expect the fireball to disappear the moment it hit Allison, and then appeared coldly above Emir's head.
Margaret knew that this was his usual method, and that she would not have been tricked herself, but she did not have time to alert the emir.
At this time, Lilith noticed that something was wrong in time and quickly moved her body to help Emir block the attack.
However, the scales on her body had not fully recovered, and the fireball actually burned her body.
"Damn."
Only then did the emile remember that Lilith's injuries had not healed, and she couldn't help but be annoyed.
"This guy is too tough, let's just destroy that tentacle." Margaret suggested.
“…… However, the demons will take revenge on us like crazy. The emir hesitated.
"It's okay, we can face it together, but if the demons get this thing, we're not sure what the consequences will be."
"Well, that makes sense." The emir nodded, "Lilith, don't fight, just burn that glass bottle." ”
"Understood, my master."
Lilith opened her mouth and spat out a larger fireball, and she had no more worries as Emile and Margaret stood behind her.
However, how could Allison turn a blind eye, he knew that the humans wanted to destroy Kraken's arm, so he would stop it no matter what.
His body was full of intertwined tentacles, and at this time, in order to deal with the terrifying dragon's breath, he had to use all his strength.
Next, he stretched out all his tentacles, and finally revealed his true body, which turned out to be the same structure and size as a human, and he was born with a rather handsome appearance.
Obviously, he is more in line with the characteristics of the intelligent species than the primitive species, and without those disgusting tentacles, anyone would think that he is just a man in his thirties.
Allison's eyes had been closed, so he hadn't intended to use his sights when he was fighting Margaret.
Of course, he didn't do it for the sake of being handsome, because every time he opened his eyes, he would trigger a powerful spell that would even be countered by himself.
At this time, he didn't plan to hide it, this was the most important battle for him, and if he couldn't regain Kraken's arm, he wouldn't be able to raise his head among the demons in his life.
Seeing the fireball flying over, Allison didn't dodge, but decided to use his body to block the attack.
He didn't plan to use the kind of counterattack magic just now, because the other party can always save the day, and he must fight quickly now, and the previous Krestie was too careless and always wanted to show his strength little by little before he lost.
In the next second, the fireball actually hovered in front of Allison, unable to move any further, and then, he opened his eyes suddenly, and two white beams of light shot out of his eyes.
Strangely, the beam penetrated the fireball directly, and all the places in its path were frozen, and neither the air nor the fireball could escape.
The light showed no sign of stopping, and after extinguishing it through the fireball, it shot straight at Lilith.
With a "swish", Lilith's body was pierced, and although it didn't hit the vital point, a layer of ice began to spread on her.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the emir quickly took Lilith back into the ring, but then he was not protected.
Naturally, Margaret would not sit idly by, and she quickly used defensive magic to create a barrier in front of the emir.
It turned out to be directly broken, but fortunately she added a few more layers, and the emir was not immediately hit, but the situation was also very dangerous, and she had to rush over and knock the emir away.
All this happened almost instantaneously, and the emir could not react at all, and in the end he could only watch as Margaret pushed him away and took the attack himself.
The beam of light passed through her left chest, which was also not fatal, not even blood, presumably frozen.
Immediately after, the ice began to spread on Margaret's body, and Emir could only be anxious as she watched this scene.
“…… Don't, leave me alone, let Lilith destroy that thing. ”
Margaret hastened to remind Emir that even at such a critical juncture, she did not give up on observing the enemy's movements.
It turned out that when Allison released this magic, he couldn't move, let alone protect the monster's tentacles.
Seeing that half of Margaret's body had been frozen into ice, Emile was helpless, and he knew that it was too late to continue his mission, so he released Lilith again.
However, he discovers that the ice on Lilith's body has disappeared, and it seems that after entering the space created by magic, all negative effects will be removed.
Emir finally came up with a solution, and he directly used the ring to suck Margaret into the magic circle.
After doing this, he didn't let go of this opportunity, and while Allison had no strength left, he ordered Lilith to attack the monster tentacles again.
In the next second, a huge fireball enveloped the entire glassware, perhaps protected by those dark red liquids, and the tentacles did not turn to ashes in an instant.
In the end, only the glass bottle was burned, and the dark red liquid also evaporated completely, and the whole tentacle fell directly to the ground.
Lilith saw that the dragon's breath did not achieve its goal, so she condensed a shot again, but at this time, Allison actually reacted, and he noticed that Margaret had disappeared.
I saw that his eyes slowly closed, and the terrifying beam disappeared immediately, because he received a lot of backlash, he directly couldn't hold it and fell to his knees, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
But as a powerful intelligent species, he has an extremely strong ability to heal himself, so he will be fine soon.
He saw that Lilith was about to attack Kraken's arm, so he didn't hesitate to use this move again, this time directly at Lilith.
As for why he waited until the magic was withdrawn before releasing it again, it was because he couldn't change direction once he shot the beam, and if he wanted to attack enemies in other directions, he had to use it again.
……
The Emir understood Allison's intentions, after all, Lilith was the biggest threat here, but he had already figured out how to break the magic.
"Die." Allison roared, releasing the beam.
The light was extremely fast, and it touched Lilith's body in an instant, but fortunately, Lilith's scales did not all fall off, and she specially used the part that covered her scales to block it this time.
Unexpectedly, it was really prevented, and the beam could not penetrate her body, but the layer of ice still began to spread on Lilith's body.
Perhaps it was because Allison's magic cost more this time, and the ice spread faster, freezing most of Lilith's huge body in a short time.
At this time, Emir did not panic, and he quickly ran behind him while Allison could not change the direction of his attack.
During the daytime battle, Emile and Sain handed over the sword to the two knight captains, one of which was now in Daniel's possession, while the other was returned to Emir due to the death of Ares.
The Emir immediately drew his sword and stabbed it into Allison's back with all his might.
He also knew that a powerful monster like Allison would definitely not be weak in his self-healing ability, so he didn't intend to win with this unexpected blow, but used it as a trick.
In the next second, Margaret was suddenly released from the ring's magic circle, and Emir pinned his last hope on her.
When her left chest was pierced, she almost fainted in pain, but luckily she endured the pain and unleashed healing magic on herself, but the most terrifying thing was the rapidly spreading ice.
She thought for a moment that she was dead, but fortunately the Emir's actions saved her life.
Now that she was released, she saw that Lilith was blocking the penetration of the beam on her side, but she couldn't get rid of the ice, and on the other side, Emir had made a sneak attack on Alison, but she couldn't do much damage.
Immediately she knew that this was her time to show off her skills, and she pulled out a gem filled with magic and replaced it with the tip of her wand.
Countless magical missiles then struck Allison, and Margaret preferred to scrap the gem for the most critical of attacks.
Allison had already sensed Emir's sneak attack, but he didn't care, that level of attack was useless to him.
But just as he was thinking so, and was about to concentrate on freezing Lilith, Margaret appeared.
This was completely unexpected, so it was inevitable that he would take those magic missiles.
Allison's body exploded in one fell swoop, all the tentacles around his body were broken, and even the most important eye was destroyed.
"Ahh
Allison couldn't help but scream, because the injury was too severe, and it would take some time to recover from the injury by relying on his self-healing ability.
However, he didn't dare to wait for the wound to heal, he knew very well that even if there was only a few seconds of space, Margaret would be able to leave him dead without a place to bury.
At this time, he has only one way, and that is to take the best policy, although that means that once he returns to the demons, he will be labeled as a loser, but it is better than dying at the hands of humans.
So, he hurriedly threw Kraken's arm here and ran away himself.
It was what he did best, and he had slipped into the shadows almost instantly, and no matter how fast Margaret was, there was nothing he could do about him.
"Tsk, you can't fight, but it's good to escape." Margaret was a little upset.
In this battle, she was so badly injured that she wanted to break Allison into pieces, but in the end she let him run.
"Margaret, how are your injuries?" The emir asked with concern, he didn't care about the end of the enemy, after all, he would encounter him on the battlefield later.
Now that Allison's weaknesses have all been exposed, even if they meet again, Emir and the others can beat him.
"Oh, thanks for the concern, it's okay already." Margaret smiled, and her anger vanished in an instant when she heard Emir's concern.
“…… But I'm in trouble, Emir, help me. ”
Suddenly, a female voice sounded behind them, a tone full of resentment.
It turned out to be Lilith, and it was then that Emile remembered the stubble, and she was almost covered in ice.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I forgot."
The Emir hastened to put her in the ring, feeling guilty.
"Tsk, you're too unreasonable, Lilith has been paying for you, and you actually made her suffer so much." Margaret clasped her hands on her chest and lectured him with a serious face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, not next time." The emir bowed his head and apologized, like a child who had done something wrong.
Margaret laughed silently when she saw him like this.
"Okay, remember your words today, let's go back."
As she spoke, she walked deeper into the room and tucked the monster's tentacles into the necklace's magic circle.
"Hmm." The emir also withdrew his sword from its scabbard.
In this way, the task of the two is finally completed.
This monster tentacle will be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the demons.
