Chapter 22: The Crisis (Part II)
Trust?
Crete didn't know what she meant, and was stunned after listening to her. Seeing this, Iros explained:
"After I have recovered my strength, you will be responsible for attracting the attention of the wind wolves, and I will wait for the opportunity to kill the leader of the wind wolves, and after the leader is resolved, the wolves will disperse."
After Iros said that, Crete fell silent, and now he finally understood why Iros had asked him beforehand.
If she were her, she would have asked the other party in advance before making this proposal.
How can such cooperation be carried out with the will and full help of the other party in advance?
"I ......" Crete was silent for a long time, and finally said to Iros with great difficulty, "I can trust you." ”
His choice is to completely entrust his safety to the other party's gambling behavior. As long as Iros has a little bad intentions, uses himself as bait at the last moment, abandons himself, and chooses to escape alone, then he is finished.
Iros looked at Crete and didn't speak, he wasn't one of his companions who could entrust his life to the other party, and he didn't know if the cooperation could go smoothly.
A long time has passed, and the wind wolves gathered below still have no intention of leaving, and one pair after another of eyes glowing with a faint green light stared at Crete and Iros in the sky.
At this time, there was not much wind magic left in Crete's body, and it was impossible to maintain the 'levitation technique'. Looking at the petite figure in his arms, he opened his mouth and silently recited a magic spell in his mouth, and suddenly, a pale cyan breeze surrounded Iros's body.
Wind Magic - Extreme Speed
"I don't have much wind mana left in my body, and I can only last about three minutes with this magic." Crete said.
"There's enough time." Iros said coldly, "You only need to hold on for two minutes. ”
Hearing this, Crete canceled the maintenance of the 'levitation technique', and he slowly landed on the top of the hundred-meter-high giant tree with Iros in his arms, and at the moment of "landing", the wind wolves led below climbed up one after another.
Counting the wind wolves who were guarding this giant tree before, there are currently more than twenty of them.
The moment Ilos landed in Crete, he broke free from Crete's embrace in the blink of an eye.
"Don't die." After speaking, she turned into a phantom and disappeared directly.
"That's a lot of speed." Crete exclaimed inwardly.
In the sight of the wind wolves, the petite human girl fled in fear, so they focused all their attention on Crete.
"Woo——!" One of the wind wolf leaders roared majestically to the sky, and suddenly, Crete saw in the darkness a pair of eyes with a dark green light looking up at the sky, and let out a "woo——! Voice.
"Isn't it so relaxing, are you so excited?" Looking at Fang's wind wolf pack, more than fifty skull-sized pieces of crystal blue ice instantly appeared out of thin air around Crete's body.
"Then let you calm down."
Ice Magic - Ice Strike
"Whoosh——! The two wind wolf leaders each spat out two large dark green wind blades from their mouths in the direction of Crete. With the release of these two wind blades, all the surrounding wind wolves also opened their mouths.
Suddenly, the secret numb wind blades began to pour towards Crete.
"Bang-"
"Bang-"
"Bang-"
……
Crete's body was constantly changed by the wind blades that filled the sky, and the crystal blue light on his body continued to flicker at a rapid speed, and the armor made of ice blocks finally collapsed. Before his body fell, he drove the 'Ice Attack'.
I saw more than fifty skull-sized crystal-blue ice cubes and the tide wind wolves quickly smashed over.
"Ice Blast." Crete, who was falling, whispered a few magic spells, and then slowly closed his eyes in resignation.
If you fall from this height, you will definitely die.
The ice cubes of the Righteous Fa Wind Wolves suddenly exploded out of thin air, turning into countless crystal-blue sharp fragments and slashing wildly in all directions. In a torrent of brutal ice shards, a petite figure sprinted through it without heeding, and swooped down on Crete.
The force of the impact changed the direction of Crete's fall, and his body rubbed against the ground at a parallel angle.
In the process of rubbing and sliding, the clothes on Crete's back were quickly worn out. After his clothes were worn out, the next thing that was worn out was the flesh of his back.
Iros crouched on Crete's body, shielding her with his petite body, his body almost covered with shards of crystal blue ice.
"This damn fellow." Iros gritted her teeth, her face full of pain, she held the black short blade, and after Crete's body glided, she quickly stood up, and her petite body turned into a phantom, and quickly swooped in the direction of the wind wolves.
"I... Iros. Crete's vision became more and more blurry and dizzy, and the little darkness in front of him spread rapidly, and he soon fell into a coma.
When he woke up, he drove a short distance to see Iros, lying in a pool of blood, and not far from her, there were the two wind wolf leaders and the other wind wolves with their throats cut.
"Yi ...... Iros. Crete struggled to his feet, the pain burning behind him, and he staggered to Iros's side, her petite body almost covered with shards of crystal blue ice, the countless cuts and the claws of the wind wolves.
After using his wind magic to clean up the ice shards behind Iros, Crete silently recited a magic spell to heal her, but was unsuccessful, and the little mana left in his body could not support him to use healing magic.
Realizing this, Crete quickly sat down cross-legged and silently recited the magic incantation, only to see him close his eyes and frantically refine his magic power.
Iros's breathing was very weak at this time, and there was a tendency to spread more and more faintly.
Come on! Come on!
Crete gritted his teeth, desperately refining his magic, and a hint of hideousness flashed in his eyes.
She had every chance to escape, but she didn't choose to escape.
Come on! Come on!
She could have left herself alone, but she saved herself at the last moment.
Come on! Come on!
At this time, the speed of Crete's mana refining power had already reached its limit, but his mana refining speed did not freeze or slow down because of this, and this speed was still increasing rapidly.
Crete, who has been immersed in the fifth-level magician for many years, naturally knows what this means.
It represents a breakthrough in his strength, and now he has broken through from the middle level of a fifth-level magician to the high-level of a fifth-level magician.
When people are faced with a life-and-death crisis, their potential can easily burst out.
When the water-based magic element in his body was almost recovered, Crete stopped refining his mana. I saw him slowly stretch out a hand towards Iros's petite body, and then lightly imprinted it.
Suddenly, a pale blue shimmer slowly lit up, and countless points of light swirled around her body, flying, as if playing some gorgeous music.
Water Magic – A Hymn to Life
Countless pale blue points of light continued to pour into Iros's body, and the latter's complexion turned from pale to ruddy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wounds on her body began to slowly scab and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hmm." Iros groaned in pain.
