With a bang, the thick trunk of the big tree cracked. The snow fell from the trees and fell on him.

Seeing that Henry was motionless, Ace thought he had fainted, and immediately summoned the black bear again. Now the situation has been completely reversed and the team is completely at a disadvantage.

Ace initially thought that he could do his best to kill the salamander when he encountered a level 6 monster this time, without relying on Henry and several other teammates. But who would have thought that this big guy swallowed the Lightning Eel's Monster Core and thus gained the ability to produce electric shocks. It's really hard to deal with.

At this point, even if Henry took action, he didn't seem to take advantage of it too much.

Obviously, the evolved Variety Salamander is no longer at level 7 strength, but at least level 8 strength.

Seeing that the monster was about to attack again, Ace rushed up with the black bear.

At this moment, a voice rang out: "Stand back, he's mine!" ”

Watch as Henry gets up from the snowdrift, shakes off the snow from his body, and then pulls out the big knife that he hasn't pulled out in two years.

Listening to the sound of "poof", the giant sword glowed with silver. The blade was cold, and the hilt was surrounded by silver magical light. This should be a brilliant effect.

Ace frowned, then retreated with the black bear. In fact, he has always been curious about the terrifying power of this talented warrior who was highly valued by the emperor.

The great salamander saw Henry stand up again. A little stunned, it was going to attack again, but it suddenly stood there.

Henry stuck his greatsword in the ground, then moved his wrist and neck, and whispered, "It's been a long time since I've fought seriously." In that case, I'm going to play with you today. ”

After that, Henry raised the greatsword in his hand and took a big step forward. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the ever-changing salamander.

The monster was not afraid at all, its large, long tongue flew towards Henry like lightning.

"Die!"

Henry made a large circle with a long sword in his hand. I only heard a "whoosh" sound, and the tongue of the Variety Salamander broke!

The axolotl, whose tongue had been cut off, screamed loudly, and the momentum that had been moving forward suddenly stopped.

Henry's greatsword was stained with the corrosive saliva of the monster, but the blade did not change at all.

This sword is called "Meteorite". It was also made by Nicaro himself. The material used is extraterrestrial meteoric iron, which is an extremely rare forging material. Due to the extreme hardness of the meteoric iron, it took Nicardo three months to create the greatsword.

This sword weighs more than a hundred pounds, and most people can't lift it. However, in Henry's hands, it looks light and does not have the slightest sense of stagnation.

Henry didn't pause. After cutting off the tip of the tongue of the ever-changing salamander with his sword, the "meteorite" in his hand attacked again. This time, he pointed directly at the head of the demonic beast.

When the monster saw Henry's sword reappearing, he immediately screamed, shook his back, and the lights flickered. The light of the three arms made a "crackling" sound and shot at Henry.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, so fast.

Henry stepped on the ever-changing salamander's mouth and stepped off its head. With the help of elasticity, the whole body rises rapidly in the air.

The electric light rubbed against the soles of Henry's shoes and did not hit him. Instead, they flew in the direction of the Ace trio.

"Be careful!" Ace used the black bear to block the first lightning, and the black bear was also dissolved into dark energy in an instant, and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The second lightning bolt was blocked by Alexander's "Isolation of Light".

When the third bolt of lightning was about to hit Kara, Ace barely thought and pulled her directly behind him.

With a "bang", Ace was struck by a powerful bolt of lightning, and his body flew out like a residual leaf in the wind, landing heavily on a boulder behind him.

"Bang"!

Ace only felt a sharp pain in his internal organs, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

On his body, the lightning still did not completely dissipate, and his robes were burned black.

Ace looked in pain and tried to stand up, only to find himself paralyzed.

Alexander exclaimed, hurried over to Ace, and gave him a "healing" and "purification".

Ace felt the numbness disappear and be replaced by a gentle warm current. He could feel his internal organs slowly recovering.

Ace's face was still white, but with Alexander's help, he was able to slowly stand up.

Carla wanted to check it out. After all, Ace was injured to save her. But seeing Alexander arrive before her, she hesitated and abandoned the idea.

Henry, who was fighting the salamander in the distance, shouted, "Go away and wait, I'll deal with this beast." ”

The three Aces also knew that they seemed powerless in this battle and would be a burden to Henry. So the three of them quickly left the battlefield.

However, Ace was still able to see the situation clearly with his extremely fast and sensitive insight.

Kara lowered her head, then whispered to Ace, "Thank you." Ace was immersed in the battle just now, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He just casually said, "It's okay. “

However, the greatsword in Henry's hand, with a brilliant silver light, kept pounding the body of the ever-changing salamander. In a short period of time, a dozen breaths, this monster had dozens of shocking wounds on its body. The cold frost condenses on the wound, causing the green mucus to freeze rapidly.

Looking at Henry again, although he was also constantly dodging, the marks on his armor and the expression on his face showed that Henry was also injured at this time.

However, unlike the ever-changing salamander's incessant howl, Henry was completely silent, resisting all the pain.

The razor-sharp claws of the ever-changing salamander constantly scratch in the air, but Henry's reflexes are so bad that he is always able to avoid them and then continue to look for flaws.

However, the lightning on the salamander's back is really annoying, and it will always hit Henry from time to time.

Electric shocks are more difficult to prevent than sharp claws.

Henry did his best to hit the volatile salamander in the eye with his sword, but he was also swept by the salamander's bushy tail, and his body was shot out and landed on a shallow beach by the lake.

The salamander let out a mournful cry, and thick mud erupted from his left eye.

Henry, on the other hand, clutched his chest, panting for breath, struggled to climb up slowly. The right hand holding the greatsword trembled.

Before that, the bone of his right middle finger was broken, and at this point he felt that his index finger was also broken.

Henry went from holding a sword in his right hand to holding a sword in both hands, facing the ever-changing salamander that was constantly crying. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was expressionless.

When Ace saw Henry's performance in the distance, he couldn't help but feel awe. Henry's fighting spirit and perseverance are truly respectable.

He had long heard that warriors and knights had an advantage over magicians in their terrifying physical strength and indomitable fighting spirit. At this time, this seems to be the case. At least Ace, who was in front of Henry, really saw the terrible place for the warriors.

Ace imagined that if his tail had been pulled on top of him just now, he wouldn't have been able to stand up, let alone continue fighting.

Ace originally wanted to get Kara and Alexander to help, but he really isn't in the best shape right now and needs to adjust to continue fighting. But when he sees Henry's firm eyes and determined back, Ace chooses not to intervene.

Just now, Henry stood aside and didn't help because of Ace's choice. At this time, Ace chose to wait and see, so that he could fight in peace.

Ace was meditating, but he saw Henry's body like a strong wind, picked up his sword, and rushed towards the changeable salamander again.

He shouted angrily, sword in both hands, and a mist rose from his body. Ace had heard about it. It is said that when a warrior fully erupts, i.e., when their strength is at its peak, their body temperature rises rapidly, causing sweat on their body surface to evaporate instantaneously.

However, this explosive state consumes too much stamina and energy to sustain it for too long. Seeing that Henry had already entered this state, Ace knew that he was going to really start his fight!

"Hah!"

The greatsword quickly landed in the air, bringing a gust of wind. The ever-changing salamander tried to resist with its front paws, but he heard another crisp diagonal slash, and a pair of sharp claws fell in response!

"What!" Ace couldn't help but exclaim.

He never imagined that a level 8 warrior in a state of violence would have such terrifying power that they would cut off the axolotl's claws with a sword.

The ever-changing salamander kept calling and gradually became weak. At the fractures of the two forepaws, green blood continued to flow out, dripping on the snow with a "breathing" sound.

The greatsword in Henry's hand, expressionless, fell again, this time at the salamander's forehead.

After all, the salamander is not inferior in strength, it is an extremely terrifying monster with an extremely terrifying physique. Even though it loses a pair of claws, it still has a strong desire to survive.

The lightning bolt on his back lit up again, trying to launch a final assault on Henry.

Lightning strikes Henry's sword. Henry was stirred up. But he didn't back down, and split his sword at the volatile salamander's head.

For a moment, green liquid gushed out and splashed onto Henry's armor.

"Woohoo"!

The ever-changing salamander screamed in pain, then fell to the ground with a "thud". Because its forelimbs were severed, and its heavy head hit the ground. It wanted to get back on its feet, but couldn't.

The white steam from Henry's body gradually evaporated. At this time, he was exhausted and out of breath. With a greatsword in hand, he slowly walked towards the big man, deciding to give it the final blow.

At this time, Ace suddenly felt a heat in his body, and he muttered something in a low voice. I felt that the magic in my body was quickly filled, and there was a faint feeling that it was about to overflow.

He's familiar with the feeling, and it's exactly the same feeling as in the academy evaluation competition. Obviously, this is a sign of breaking through and being promoted to a level 5 magician.

"Now is not the time for a breakthrough!" Ace was a little helpless. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried. After all, at this critical moment, he even asked two other teammates to help him keep an eye on what was going on around him. It's really not appropriate.

But this kind of thing is really impossible. No one can be sure of the exact time of promotion, and it's not something Ace can decide. However, these two breakthrough points were indeed a bit awkward, one in the actual competition, and the other on the dangerous Warcraft Mountain Range.

"Alexander, watch around. I feel like I'm about to break through! Ace whispered.

Alexander was a little surprised. Then he was overjoyed and said, "That's a good thing!" You should meditate quickly, I'll help you look at it. ”

Ace nodded slightly, then glanced at Kara and smiled apologetically at her. For some reason, Ace feels comfortable every time he sees his beautiful face. Although Kara's expression is often cold, it is like a warm winter day for Ace.

Only this time, Kara unexpectedly gave Ace a very rare smile. This was the first time Ace had seen Kara's smile. She couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, at this time, he did not have time to savor the warm smile. He immediately sat down to take a deep breath and quickly fell into a meditative state.

After Ace entered the meditation, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. In the past, when he went into a meditative state, the first sensation should have been cool, but today, the feeling of coolness is not obvious. He hurriedly looked up and saw an extra sun above his head.

"Well, what's going on?" Ace was completely shocked. He didn't know what was wrong with his meditation, but it was certain that the feeling was completely different from the previous one.

Ace looked at his body in meditation and saw the dark elements constantly seeping into his body.

At this time, his body was filled with magic. Why are these dark elements still entering? This confuses Ace.

At this time, Ace only felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and sweat continued to flow from his forehead. After a while, he was soaking wet.

But surprisingly, although it was the middle of winter, Ace didn't feel cold at all.

As the "buzzing" sound sounded, Ace only felt that his head was about to burst. The ever-expanding magic in his body was like the gate of the dam opening at that moment, and he felt much more comfortable.

Obviously, Ace has managed to rise to level 5. Ace sighed, and found that the ascension process seemed to be unusually smooth, at least not interrupted by the outside world.

Just as he was about to get up and wake up from his meditation, he was shocked to find that the magic in his body was still increasing after being filled.

Ace was a little flustered. He had never encountered such a situation when he had broken through before. This time, he felt worse. It's no longer a case of hot sweating, it's more like every cell in the body is burning.

At this time, Ace didn't know that Alexander, who was standing beside him to protect him, was also shocked. Because the temperature on the surface of Ace's body was rising rapidly, Alexander accidentally touched Ace's arm and found that it was as hot as a furnace, which was particularly terrifying.

Alexander was worried and wanted to wake him up. He was really worried that if this continued, Ace's brain might burn out.

But Kara on the other side stopped him: "He is breaking through at this moment and can't wake him up." Otherwise, he will not only fail in promotion, but may even be in danger of his life. ”

"But ......" Alexander was still worried.

But Carla said: "You should trust Ace and believe that he can handle this breakthrough. ”

Alexander frowned, thought for a while, and finally gave up on the idea of waking Ace up, because he thought that Kara was right and that he should believe Ace.

Ace felt the heat in his body getting higher and higher, as if there was a burning flame burning everything in his body.

Just when he couldn't bear it anymore and almost fainted, the white full moon next to the sun emitted a little cool breeze, and the heat in his body was slightly suppressed.

Ace felt comfortable and couldn't help but take a deep breath. But just when he thought the promotion process was over, the burning sensation made him despair again.

But every time he couldn't hold on, the full moon overhead would save him. After four or five repetitions, Ace felt extremely uncomfortable.

In the end, he couldn't help but whistling and flew into the sky, and a hot breath came out of his mouth, startling Alexander.

In the end, the burning sensation never came back again. Ace felt that his body had changed drastically, and the amount of magic he could carry had increased tenfold?

Ace slowly opened his eyes and found that his perception had changed. He was able to spot a group of mid-level magicians from 800 meters away. At this time, they were hunting a sixth-level demonic beast Flame Leopard.

Ace knew very well in his heart that this breakthrough should not be just an ordinary fifth-level magician? Ace really felt that his strength had surpassed level 5. If he guessed correctly, he should have risen two levels in a row to level 6.

In addition, he could clearly feel that there seemed to be a mark in the center of his eyebrows, but the mark was inside his eyebrows, which no one else could see, only he could perceive.

He didn't want to tell anyone about it. After all, it's his hole card, and he doesn't want to expose it too soon.

It's best to keep a low profile here.

As for why he was promoted two levels in a row, although Ace didn't know the exact reason, he was sure that it had a lot to do with the sudden appearance of the sun in a meditative state.

Now, his meditative state is very different. In the starry night sky, there is a sun and a moon at the same time, which is both spectacular and peculiar.

In fact, Ace's meditation only lasted about a minute this time, but he felt that it seemed like a long time. Because the burning flame has the feeling of burning, it is really too painful. It's like a year.

Alexander was relieved to see Ace finally wake up. He then walked over to Ace and touched Ace's forehead with his hand. He found that the burning sensation was completely gone.

Alexander stared at Ace and asked solemnly, "Ace, do you still recognize me?" ”

Ace glanced at him palely, "You stupid bastard, did you take the wrong medicine?" ”

"Whew, it's okay. It doesn't seem to be burned. "Alexander took a picture of his chest. Ace used to call him "a fool". It seems that Ace has no problem.

But soon, Alexander looked at Ace's body in embarrassment and said, "You'd better get dressed quickly." ”

Ace looked down at what he had said, and found that he was naked, his robe was gone, and there was only a piece of cloth on his lower body to block important parts. But he didn't feel cold.

He couldn't help but exclaim, realizing that Carla had been watching for a long time. Awkwardly, he pulled out a spare set of robes and wrapped them tightly. However, he did not change his clothes on the lower half of his body. When the cold wind blows, it feels cold, but it's not cold.

Ace could feel that after this breakthrough, he seemed to have improved dramatically in the last few painful trials. At this time, in the ice and snow, he did not feel a trace of chill.

"Cough." Ace coughed to hide his embarrassment.

Kara stared at the battle in the distance and whispered, "Are we going to help him?" After all, it's already late. If we continue to drag on like this, the sun will set. Before leaving, General Aier specifically told us that we must return to the barracks before dark, regardless of the situation of the battle. ”

When Ace looked up, he saw that the sun had already set in the west, and it was already late afternoon.

He looked at the battle in the distance, and then said, "When Henry has dealt with this big man, let's get out of here." ”

Looking at Henry in the distance, he would definitely win.

"Whew"!

Henry took a deep breath. He didn't expect that this sixth-level monster would force him to turn on the madness.

Just as Henry was about to kill the dying salamander with his sword, the salamander's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the eyes unexpectedly burst into blood-red flames.

Henry was startled, but before he could recover, everyone rushed up. It uses the pedaling power of its hind foot to push Henry out.

Henry wanted to keep his body balanced, but he was in the air and couldn't do it. At the same time, the tongue of the ever-changing salamander swept in, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped Henry, and then pulled it back into its bloody mouth.

Luckily, Henry's body was protected by top-tier armor, so he wasn't eroded by corrosive saliva. At this point, he was bound by its long tongue and was unable to use his full power. It was impossible to swing that greatsword and cut off his tongue. In desperation, he could only take a giant sword and stab it into the long tongue.

But this time, the ever-changing salamander did not make a sound, but did not hesitate to continue to pull Henry towards the giant mouth with its sharp teeth.

Henry couldn't help but panic a little. He didn't understand why the beast had had its feet cut off and had been hit in the head by a sword he had done with all his might. Why did it not die, but instead became more terrible and powerful.

Henry was very confused by this.

Seeing that he was about to be devoured, Henry felt extremely desperate, because at this time he was completely controlled by this demonic beast and could not fight back effectively.

The other three teammates who were still fighting were at least 50 meters away from him. In terms of their strength, the first sprint was too late.

Henry smelled the stench in his mouth and couldn't help but sigh. Then he closed his eyes and prepared for death.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that his body had been grabbed, and then his greatsword had been taken away.

The sound of "Shu" is very crisp. His tongue was severed by a greatsword, and mud sprayed everywhere.

Henry looked to the side in shock, only to find Ace staring at the large salamander with burning eyes.

Ace pulled Henry aside and whispered, "Take a break, leave it to me." ”

Just as Ace was holding a greatsword to meet the enemy again, Henry grabbed him and said, "With your strength, to go up is to die." It's even more powerful now. ”
