Chapter Fifty-Six: The Great Sword Goblin
The morning glow appeared on the eastern sea, wisps of smoke wafted from the rooftops of the houses of Kuhanri, and the air was filled with a light veil of mist. There was not a single cloud in the blue sky, and it became more and more profound.
As usual, Lista got up to wash up at the beginning of the sun, and after saying goodbye to Tyr, he took his twin swords and set out on his way to Ayurun alone.
Obviously he could go to Ayurun with his teammates, why did Lista insist on going alone.
Lista clenched the ring in his pocket, he was going to find out the truth about the power of the ring this time, thinking that he lost consciousness after gaining this inexplicable power in the ice valley, Lista didn't want his teammates to risk accompanying him on this mission, in case he lost consciousness again......
Or maybe I've been in a crowded place for a long time, and I occasionally want to reminisce about the loneliness I once had. The former Lista came out of the arena without knowing anything about the world, but no one helped him at that time. He walked from village to village, asking people how to become a knight while helping the villagers solve a little trouble and earn money for food.
But most people would have chased Lista away, after all, who would listen to a ragged child.
"Knights? Look at you like this, forget it! People who have no background relationship are difficult to reach even for non-commissioned officers. ”
This is what Lista has heard the most, but Lista has never given up, they don't have Lista's experience, so they can't understand Lista's persistence.
Lista had never had a companion since he came out of the arena, from the age of fourteen to twenty, and the long six years had made the teenager accustomed to loneliness. But Lista is smart and lucky, and can always find some fun in the loneliest moments, compared to those whose will slowly dies in loneliness. He would think of the happy things he had done, even if they were related to the deceased Uncle Karl.
Although he has come lonely in the past six years, he has also seen no one in the past six years, heard a lot of events, and seen a lot of expressions. Listen to adventurers brag at the campfire, listen to the stories of bounty hunters on ships, and listen to soldiers share heroic deeds at the border......
Lista never spoke, he liked to look, to see everyone's looks and expressions, which also taught Lista to read a little bit. Maybe Lista really understands words and emotions very well, so he can see through the loneliness in Fiona and Hawke's hearts at a glance.
It wasn't until Lista arrived at the Kablan Mercenary Regiment that he mustered up the courage to take the initiative to chat with people for the first time. Maybe he saw and listened a lot, but he didn't expect that chatting was not so difficult.
Thinking of the past, and thinking about the present, Lista, who was walking on the road, could not have imagined that it would go so smoothly. Although I haven't seen the signs of becoming a knight yet, I have met teammates who can get along day and night, and mercenary groups that are very good to me, as well as Tyr, Brynn, Lille, and Kosty......
How was it possible to know so many friends before. Today's Lista is just pretending to be calm, and the excitement in his heart has long jumped out of the clouds.
Time was fleeting, and soon it was noon. Lista, who had been emptied of his pockets several times back and forth, did not rent a carriage this time, a bag of water, a bag of dry food, enough for Lista to live for a few days, this is the experience of many years. Lista broke a small piece of bread and chewed it in his mouth for a long time, and with a mouthful of water, the lunch was settled.
The road from Kuhan to Ayurun was desolate, and there were few shaded trees along the way, so that the strong midday sun shone on Lista's face, and soon his face was sunburned red, and beads of sweat covered Lista's forehead.
Lista didn't stop after coming out of Kuhan, and finally arrived at Ayurun just as the sun was about to reach the skyline.
For Lista, this place is not unfamiliar, if it weren't for the fact that this village was already a ruin, I am afraid that even the village chief would know Lista. The long-term use of the furious Lista's calf muscles is abnormally developed, even after walking for a day, he does not feel tired. Without delay, he entered Ayurun and began to look for a target.
The last time Rocky entered Ayurun, Lista found that there were almost no goblins, perhaps because Hawke had killed too many when he first arrived, at least by the time everyone took Ellis, there were no goblins along the way.
Although Ellis is only a midshipman, his work habits are desirable, so Lista also learns from Ellis to get a map from the grocery store, and points and draws on the map while looking at the route.
"So, go to the middle gate, then find the path, and then the vampire."
Lista read the task that Neberez had given him, and while also observing whether there were any remaining goblins around him, he deliberately amplified his voice, hoping to lure something out.
But there were no creatures along the way. Maybe it's a bit more daring when you're alone, and Lista doesn't feel scared all the way through the middle gate, but it's unusually quiet here without goblins.
It was already completely dark, and in desperation, Lista could only find the corpse of the goblin, cut off the corpse's arm, cut off the flesh from the forearm, leaving only the bones, and let the severed hand pinch a rag and light it as a temporary torch.
Then, with the firelight, Lista found a closed door behind the Goblin Commander's corpse and pushed it hard but didn't move. Lista pressed his hands on the gate and his feet went berserk, and after using Thunder Fury three times in a row, the pin behind the gate finally broke. The wooden door creaked and was slowly opened by the wind.
Behind the wooden gate is the path that leads to Katak Square, which is no different from Ayulenne, but the ground is cleaner.
Lista cautiously walked into the path, and suddenly felt that the temperature here was much colder than outside, and there was a faint green light everywhere to illuminate the road, and a layer of mist clinging to the ground, which made anyone shudder when they saw it.
In order to deal with the vampires that pop up halfway at any time, you can only throw away the goblin torch in your hand. At this moment, a tearing roar came from all directions, and the wooden door behind him was slammed shut.
Lista didn't have time to flee, only to see a cloud of black mist fall from the sky to the ground, and a group of bloody vampires emerged from the black mist, and one of the vampires was wearing a pure white magician's robe, and the position of the chest was emblazoned with "Count Ash".
"Looks like there's a big role!"
Lista let out a loud shout and sprinted with his twin swords, slashing through in a rage, and the skulls of several black-robed vampires were slashed with the light of the sword. Count Ash's spell is very similar to that of Count Drunkard, with fireballs constantly being thrown at Lista, but fortunately, Lista is nimble and can always slide and easily dodge fireballs when they come.
But at this time, countless black-robed vampires emerged from Lista's head, they waved their claws and grabbed at Lista, there were many of them and a wide range, they forced Lista into a corner, the narrowness of the terrain made it impossible for Lista to use his rage, and this time Lista could not dodge the attack no matter how flexible he was.
It's not just Lista who is flexible, the champion twin swords are several times faster after being enchanted, and in the face of the vampires surrounding him, Lista suddenly thought of the trick to try out the knife in the magic laboratory. He stabbed the vampire in front of him with the twin swords in his hand, and the twin swords instantly turned into countless needles to stab the vampire in front of him, which Lista called "Thousand Needles".
Lista knew that the bodies of these vampires were all bones, and the stabbing blow was not easy to hit, so Lista aimed the tip of the blade at the heads of these skeletons, although there was no guarantee that it would hit every time, but under the high-speed attack, the speed could make up for the error.
The vampire in front of Lista was pierced by a thousand needles almost at the same time, and immediately fell down, and when Lista finally expanded his vision, he saw Count Ash gathering a huge flame in his hand in the distance.
Lista felt bad, and instantly lowered her body and was ready to dodge at any time. I saw Count Ash shoot the fireball in his hand towards the ground, and the fireball disappeared.
"It's... Magic failed? ”
A little delighted, Lista got up and slashed at Count Ash in a furious rage, and just as the twin swords were about to reach Count Ash's neck, the ground under Lista's feet became hot.
Rumble!
A huge pillar of fire erupted from the ground, and Lista was drowned out before he could scream. The intense blast of flames made the air scorching, and even the temperature of the entire trail was raised a lot.
Determined to burn Lista to ashes, Count Ash pressed his hands back to the ground, instilling all its magic into the pillar of fire, and in an instant the pillar of fire hit even more violently, the whirring sound drowned out all the sounds around it, and the figure of Lista in the pillar of fire slowly fell to the ground.
No matter how fast you are, you will be vulnerable to magical attacks!
To be on the safe side, Count Ash stepped up his magic. At this time, the pillar of fire soared into the sky, and any scene in it was covered by flames, even a pile of iron put into it would instantly turn into iron juice, not to mention the mortal-born Lista.
Seeing the figure in the pillar of fire fall, the Count of Ash let out a clattering laugh, as if mocking, as if proud, but just as it was about to get up, it found that it could not move.
Sparks erupted from the bones of Count Ash's hands, and as a vampire mage, it would not be harmed by its own magic, except when it was gone. It struggled in a panic, but its limbs could not move.
In the panic, the magic was interrupted, and the pillar of fire disappeared in an instant, but there was no charred corpse in the pillar of fire, only a handful of ashes. Count Ash's first thought was that Lista had been burned to ashes, but the sparks in his body gradually spread throughout his body.
Call! With a bang, Count Ash turned to ashes on its own, and it didn't figure out how it had died until it died.
Martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken!
Just as Count Ash was reduced to ashes and fell, Lista, who was naked and upper-body, stood unharmed, standing behind Count Ash and holding the white robe, until the ashes dispersed, and Lista patted the robe, wanting to give it to Neberes.
It turned out that at the moment when the pillar of fire erupted, Lista took off his coat to confuse Count Ash, and with the light of the golden light on the ground, Lista turned into golden light and launched the wrath of the Holy Spirit.
The weapon also seemed to be much faster after enchanting it, and at short range, the Holy Spirit Fury passed through the Count of Ashes at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye. It had already severed its neck as it passed through, but the sword was too fast for Count Ash to make a move before it began to react with death.
