Chapter Twenty-Six: The Reckless Man

The moment they fell into darkness, the three fleeing people couldn't help but feel horror in their hearts, but soon, another light lit up around them, forming three separate rings and directly surrounding them.

Such a sudden change caused the three of them to subconsciously stop running, and almost fell directly to the ground, but it was obvious that the balance brought by the extraordinary ability allowed them to quickly stabilize their bodies, and they did not dare to jump out of the range of this light.

Although they could get out of it as long as they lifted their legs, but in such a pause and delay, the monster behind them had already caught up, and it was too late to regain the distance.

But what about the figure that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe?

Veronica, the woman in the bright red "iron suit", turned her head and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound of monster footsteps could be heard, which was originally just her reaction out of combat habits - always keeping an eye on where your enemies are.

But what she saw was another back figure moving forward like a ghost, and she subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to warn that the monster on the other side was dangerous, but she quickly realized that the other party was not necessarily "help", but could also be an enemy.

So Veronica bit her lip and didn't make a sound, just silently clenched the long sword in her hand.

The longsword was similar in style to the one Esther had picked up earlier, but it was a botched imitation with no extraordinary properties, and it was not as powerful as a physical attack.

The figure seemed to know what Veronica was thinking, and even looked back rather leisurely, smiling comfortingly.

No, she's also watching the sword in my hand? Because she's holding the same sword, but if it's Gulick's sword, it's not the same as mine, it's real......

Burning flames lit up from the hilt of the sword, meekly licking Esther's palm, but it did not hurt her at all, and the light of the fire lit up her face, but an even brighter light burst out of her hair and began to dance disorderly in the air.

Esther also saw what kept coming her in the darkness:

It was a monster with a wide open mouth and several tiny tentacles wriggling at its sides, more than half a meter taller than the heavy mud trucks she remembered. Its body sped forward through its long, slender tendrils, and the tentacles landed alternately to support its massive body, moving swiftly and rapidly to make the scalp tingle.

Directly across from Esther was a huge black hole that took up the entire head of the monster, and on the inner wall of the mouthparts, there were circles of sharp teeth that were constantly squeezing against each other, trying to wring in anything that could be torn apart. It can be said that the structure inside the head of this monster is basically nothing except for the dense teeth that make people dizzy.

Its body did not look hard, and layers of gray-black soft skin were piled up, and Esther did not notice her eyes, but she could see a ring of small black mouths that were constantly stirring outside the skin.

The sound of air rushing through the holes as the monster ran on its ridiculously short legs, the monster seemed to rely most on the smell of the breath to catch the smell of any nearby "food" that could be torn apart with its fangs.

And with the momentum of its wild running, even if it comes from an instinctive sense of crisis, it doesn't know where to hide in its brain, but it is too late to avoid the strange person on the other side.

It only took Esther half a second to observe the monster, and she glanced at it curiously, and then flung the flaming sword in her hand backhand.

At the moment of escape, a layer of laurel-colored shimmer suddenly changed further from the sword hilt, and the originally fluttering flames suddenly changed further, and while piercing the air, the red flames quickly lengthened and transformed into a blazing white spear.

Its trajectory was so fast that the other three couldn't even understand what was happening, only Veronica could faintly see the change in the sword, and a white flame of light flashed across her retina.

The spear was moving with great momentum, straight into the monster's jaw, followed by a continuous muffled sound - the flaming spear caused a chain explosion.

The monster apparently didn't have any vocal organs, or it would have screamed in horror when it had been blasted out of several holes, but now it just writhed and rolled to the side.

With a final thud, the monster's stomach exploded completely, and a foul and sticky gray-white flesh foam flew in all directions, pouring it on the three people who had the halo under their feet, and because they still didn't dare to move indiscriminately, they could only let the disgusting thing drench themselves.

However, compared to this stain, they are more worried about the "person" who is too powerful, if the opponent's next target is them, then their fate will not be much better than that monster.

Esther shook her hand weakly, and the part of the meat foam that she had just "stole" was thrown aside, but she was clean and not stained at all.

She just closed her palm at the mutilated lump of flesh, and the long sword instantly returned to her hand.

Although the flame above was extinguished, the temperature was still there, and Esther could even feel that it had become quite reassuring, as if she was content to complete a successful "kill".

Esther immediately realized that this might be the negative effect of this sword as an "extraordinary weapon", too strong and vivid battle intent, and even killing intent.

In a head-to-head battle, this may become a sword wielder's amplification, but in a duel that is beyond its strength, I am afraid that it will be a complete death trap, and those who fall into the battle will no longer be able to consider retreating until they die in battle......

Esther walked slowly towards the three people trapped in the aura, the smile on her face was amiable, but she looked at the look in the leader's eyes, as if Esther would blow them up together in the next moment.

Clearing her throat, Esther used her longsword to unleash a ball of fire, causing it to hang above the heads of several people, providing a steady light before retracting the aura that had circled the three men.

Tiny dots of light poured back into Esther's hair, and she glanced at the residents who had left the city, except for the most vigilant middleman in the middle, although the other two were wearing helmets, but Esther could feel their respective emotions, both dazed and incredulous.

"If you have any questions, you can ask." Esther said with a smile.

She had saved the three of them just now, and now she gave them the opportunity to question so calmly and politely, which made the three of them gradually let down their vigilance, at least the weapons in their hands were no longer secretly aimed at Esther.

Just then, another voice interjected: "You don't parasitize them? ”

Suddenly, another voice sounded, startling the frightened trio, and between the hammers colliding, a huge fireball instantly took shape and smashed towards the place where the sound came from.

Esther grabbed it with her backhand, and the fireball disappeared into thin air: "That's mine...... A friend. Sorry to scare you. ”
