Chapter 20: Inexplicable
Xavier was a little nervous in the face of the demons who surrounded him, but he didn't let this thought affect his movements.
Because as early as after his master, Viscount Wallace, told him the specific plan, he had already had the corresponding consciousness, knowing that this moment would come after all, and naturally he would not let his inner emotions interfere with the next prepared action.
What's more, with many combat experiences, he already knew how to protect himself in times of crisis, and now, he immediately exposed his palm and activated the Law Seal-'Alder'.
The next moment, he saw the magic seal with the effect of 'piercing bones', repelling many evil demons next to Xavier, so that the black-haired swordsman successfully escaped from it.
At the same time, after his observation, there did not seem to be any evil ghost warriors among the evil ghosts, which made him sigh about his luck, because this meant that Xavier did not have to face the well-commanded evil ghosts, and naturally had a better grasp of achieving the ultimate goal of the plan.
Of course, fortunately, the actual task still requires some risks, and he did not attack them the moment the evil demons were defeated by the Fa Yin, but pulled out his legs and immediately ran backwards.
The downed evil ghosts fell into a state of doubt, and they were directly hit by the magic seal without realizing it, making them feel that the person in front of them was an extremely powerful human being, which made the evil ghosts who were timid by nature want to run back to the cave immediately, the underground cave dozens of meters deep, like a labyrinth.
In this case, no matter how strong the enemy is, he will not be able to catch them.
However, when they flashed this thought, they saw the black-haired human in front of them, and they actually ran away, making them wonder if their previous judgment was wrong, if he was really so powerful, why not attack them in turn, but choose to flee immediately?
Such a conflict made the evil ghost only have a child-like IQ, and made a judgment, that is, the person in front of him is actually weak, and he has no strength to fight them, otherwise he will not choose to run away at all, as for the Fa Yin just now, it may just be a means of escape for him, it is just an accident.
Thinking of this, they quickly got up from the ground, gathered all the evil spirits, and about dozens of pus-laden monsters began to storm, chasing Xavier as he fled.
Interestingly, if Anven Pendragon had been present now, he would have noticed that Xavier's escape seemed to be very slow. You know, when he chased after him, his speed was at least several times faster than now, and his escape speed couldn't be slower than this, which was completely illogical.
In other words, there is another reason behind it, and the answer is actually very simple, that is, if he runs too fast, the evil ghosts will not be able to catch up with him, so he must slow down and let the evil ghosts successfully keep up in order to destroy them all at once.
In the midst of his thoughts, Xavier ran to the location agreed upon by Viscount Wallace and him, near a large tree, where Xavier felt the fire elemental summoned from the high dimension, and in the next moment it converged into an entity, blooming energy, and smashing down on the evil ghosts who had integrated into the group.
They didn't expect that it was precisely because of their timid nature that they liked to get together, and this habit of living together just allowed Viscount Wallace to use fourth-level fire magic to annihilate them at once.
The orange-red firelight was mixed with some yellow-white, which was a flame of up to hundreds of degrees, comparable to the temperature of charcoal burning in a steel mill, and naturally made the evil ghosts die directly on the spot, turning into green smoke and floating in the atmosphere.
This was the plan of the Viscount and Xavier, to lure the evil spirits out of the underground caverns through decoys, and then to annihilate them all again.
Unfortunately, there are still some evil ghosts who have not died completely because of this, perhaps because the limited range of fourth-level fire magic does not cover all evil ghosts, allowing them to survive.
However, under Xavier's silver sword, they could not escape the fireball, nor could they escape the 'Sword Dance', and although some of the evil spirits tried to make a last-ditch effort and ran to their caves, Xavier, with a silver sword with the 'ogre' sword oil, fell to the earth and became the nourishment of the plants.
It seemed quite pitiful, but Xavier didn't feel pity for them, but immediately picked them up, preparing to destroy them all with the viscount, to prevent the smell from attracting other monsters.
As for the alchemical materials on them, both Viscount Wallace and Xavier were not very interested in it, the former because he already had a lot of them, while the latter was simply too lazy to sell them for money, as a 'rich man', a little kroner was no longer of much use to him.
During the destruction of the corpse of the evil ghost by the two, Viscount Wallace couldn't help but praise Xavier.
Although he had always disliked complimenting people, he had to be very satisfied with Xavier's performance, knowing that his apprentices had almost been chased and bitten to death by evil demons, some because they had fallen on the ground like the heroine of the movie, and some because they were running slowly.
And Xavier, as a swordsman who dealt with evil ghosts for the first time, everything he did was completely correct, such as opening the 'Quinn' directly at the beginning, and the timing of 'Alder' was just right, if he was allowed to come, I am afraid he would not be able to do better, so he must be praised, excessive criticism is sometimes not a good thing.
"Well done. He said.
Hearing this, Xavier remembered that this seemed to be the first time that the master had praised him, and in the past, it was the first time he had heard such a comment as 'I have ten percent of my strength', or 'it's okay', and 'doing a good job', which made him suddenly a little complacent, and quickly responded
"It's all master, you have a good command. ”
"Don't be a sycophant. Viscount Wallace shook his head, "If the implementers don't do it well, no matter how good the plan is, it's useless. ”
"Then I thank the master for his praise. Xavier smiled.
"But then again, master. After smiling, Xavier added, "I think that the feeling of being chased by them, despite their small size, seems to be more terrifying than that of ghouls. ”
"It's strange to me that they are so small."
"It's quite normal. Viscount Wallace said that there was no big problem with his thoughts, "After all, evil ghosts have a higher IQ than ghouls, and they like to act in groups, and it is completely normal for you to feel a little panicked." ”
"What's more, even if you don't take the evil ghost as an example, many small creatures can also make people feel scared, such as cockroaches, just such a small one, which also makes many noble ladies scream for it, if they appear more than a hundred at a time, I'm afraid even we will scream in fright." ”
"The conclusion is that quantity can make up for the difference in size. ”
After listening to Viscount Wallace's words, Xavier really thought of the scene of the sea of cockroaches in his mind, countless cockroaches, crawling under his feet, and even engulfing him, crawling into his nostrils and mouth, just thinking about it made him creepy, and his SAN value dropped greatly, maybe the fear of facing the evil ghost just now was because of this reason.
As Xavier flashed these thoughts, Viscount Wallace continued, "So, creatures, or monsters, the more fertile they are, the more survivable the population, and the evil spirits are the kind, and the rats are the same. ”
"And human beings are one of them. Xavier gave his opinion.
"Sort of. Viscount Wallace suggested more animals with greater fecundity, "If you compare it to elephants, it is indeed very fecund, and compared to pigs or something, it is much weaker. ”
"So, if you have the ability, remember to give birth to an extra baby for humanity as well. Viscount Wallace suddenly said quietly, causing Xavier, who was destroying the corpse of the evil ghost next to him, to have only one feeling.
“???”
Why is it possible to join this kind of topic when discussing evil ghosts?
This puzzled him, very puzzled.
