Chapter Twenty-Five: A Surprising Decision
The fireball slammed into the shield in front of Sodo, and the already somewhat damaged shield was suddenly broken, turning into a trace of steam and dissipating, and the fireball only became a little smaller, and continued to crash into Sodo. Water and fire are mutually restrictive, and the shield has already withstood the full force of the strong man's blow just now, so the fireball can easily smash Sodo's shield.
Seeing that the fireball had already flown in, Sodo could only send out seven instantaneous spells in a row, forming a thick barrier in front of him. But it still couldn't fully resist the impact of the fireball, which tore through the seven shields strongly, and finally, it became the size of a fist, slid past Sodo's clothes, and smashed a shallow pit on the ground. If it weren't for the defensive magic blessed by Sodo's clothes, I'm afraid that Sodo's flesh would be burned in a large piece. Even so, Sodo felt a burning sensation in his left shoulder.
The strong man smiled and stroked the fire lion and said, "My lord, how does the fireball taste?"
Suo Duo said: "It's not bad, but it's a pity that it's not the strongest." โ
The strong man looked at the fire lion and said, "Blaze, the lord said that you are not the strongest. The fire lion's breathing became heavier, and his eyes became more and more scarlet, and he almost wanted to swallow Sodor in one gulp. The strong man was not in a hurry at this time, but seemed to be playing.
Suo Duo snorted coldly: "Demon beasts are all wise, and the wisdom of high-level demonic beasts is not inferior even to humans, and you fire lion ......" Seeing the strong man's face gloomy, Suo Duo smiled and said: "I'm afraid its wisdom is similar to that of a child, so it can only make the simplest judgment, right?"
The strong man sneered twice and said, "How do you know?"
Sodo continued: "Seeing that it will be angry like that because of my words or two, you know that it will not have a high intelligence. Sodo smiled sarcastically, "Did you use some dishonorable means to keep him by your side?"
Generally, when people hunt high-level magical beasts, they want to sign a master-slave contract with them. But high-level demonic beasts also have strong self-esteem, and most of them will choose to commit suicide if they don't want to be humiliated. Therefore, in order to make the monster submit, some people used despicable methods to destroy the mind of the monster for their own servitude. But this method is extremely disrespectful to the strong and has always been despised by the world, but for the sake of powerful demonic beasts, there are still people who do not hesitate to do so.
The strong man laughed and said, "My lord is delaying time so much, are you thinking again?" and shook his head again: "It's useless, there are flames by my side, you can't hurt me." โ
Unless Soduo casts a seventh-order magic, just like the strong man said, a single qiฤ attack won't hurt him. But obviously, the strong man will not give Sodo this time to cast high-level magic. Although magic can be done silently, it must not be disturbed at all during the period, let alone be distracted by two purposes, otherwise the magic will backfire, and the consequences will be extremely tragic.
The Mirror Image of Water and the extremely compressed Water Blade have already been used, and you won't be fooled by using it again. Although Sodo knows a lot of magic, he doesn't have any magic that can be taken by surprise. Still, Sodo curled the corners of his mouth into an elegant smile.
The strong man frowned, Sodo looked like he wasn't worried about his situation at all, and the strong man suspected that Sodo had some killer features. So without further delay, he patted the fire lion.
The fiery lion roared and leaped forward, its massive forelimbs slamming into Sodo's head. Sodo didn't hide, he just stood straight there. The strong man smiled unconsciously, although he didn't know what Soduo's idea was, but with the body of a magician, he couldn't withstand the grasp of the seventh-order demonic beast at all, and it seemed that Suo Duo would definitely die.
At this time, the fire lion roared again, and a strong flame suddenly erupted from his body. At this moment, not only Suo Duo, but even the strong man of the fire lion couldn't see it clearly, and the corner of the strong man's mouth pulled out a smug smile. Although the employer only said that he wanted Suoduo's hand, if he accidentally took Suoduo's life, I believe the employer should not mind too much, right? The strong man bared his white teeth and wondered whether to let the employer increase the money.
On the other side, Fang Yu clenched his fists and deliberately stood at the front. Ellie and Ye were just children, and Dia looked half-dead, even though she knew that she couldn't do anything, Fang Yu still protected the three people behind her. Fang Qi suddenly stretched out his head and looked cautiously at the strong man and the fire lion wrapped in the firelight. Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting Fang Qi's storage, the little guy hadn't moved since he was stuffed into Fang Yu's arms. Now, for some reason, he came out on his own.
The strong man kept looking at Suo Duo, and didn't glance at Fang Yu at all, probably because he was sure that they wouldn't cause any trouble to him, so he didn't bother to care about them, right?
Fang Yu thought for a while, then rudely lifted Fang Qi's neck and casually threw Fang Qi to Dia. Dia was stunned for a moment, and reflexively caught Fang Qi, while Fang Qi snorted dissatisfiedly, struggling to return to Fang Yu's side.
A hint of determination appeared in Fang Yu's eyes, and he said softly, "Help me take care of Xiao Qi." โ
Dia grabbed Fang Qi and didn't let it move, frowning, "What are you going to do?"
Fang Yu smiled: "It's death anyway, how can you sit still?"
Dia said desolately: "It's useless, the sixth-order warrior is not something you can deal with." โ
Fang Yu smiled confidently and said, "How do you know if you don't try?"
Dia said: "Don't be impulsive, Lord Sodo is still ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw that Sodo was surrounded by firelight, and Dia was speechless for a while, if Sodo died, there was no possibility of his own life.
Fang Yu looked at the strong man coldly, all his attention was on Suo Duo now, it should be the best time to sneak attack.
Dia's body was so weak that she couldn't even stand up, let alone stop Fang Yu. But he still said: "Fang Yu, don't be stupid, you're just sending you to death in vain." โ
However, Fang Yu had made up his mind, took out the dagger that Suo Duo had given him, and slowly approached the strong man. Fang Yu also understood that doing so was tantamount to killing himself, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Fang Yu also wanted Dia and them to live. As for Fang Qi, Fang Yu also thought about it, before he died, he would terminate the contract with Fang Qi, even if he had to endure great pain, he couldn't let Fang Qi accompany him to die. If Fang Qi could live, then it should be a good choice to hand it over to Dia to take care of, Fang Yu laughed at himself, if Fang Qi and Dia made a contract, Dia would at least be able to provide Fang Qi with enough mana.
Ellie's pale lips moved slightly, but she couldn't say anything, she could only stretch out her hand in vain, trying to stop Fang Yu.
And Ye was still standing on the edge of the pillar of light, looking at Fang Yu faintly with backwater-like eyes, as if he didn't have any feelings. But Ye's clenched hands still betrayed Ye's mind, but unfortunately, no one noticed the difference in Ye.
At a distance of just over twenty steps, Fang Yu felt that it was incomparably long, and the green tendons of the hand holding the dagger were exposed. In the past few days since he came to the other world, Fang Yu has always felt like a dream, and he has never felt his existence like now. Blood, corpses, and intense anger and pain, all of them are telling Fang Yu, this world is incomparably real, and the truth is difficult for Fang Yu to accept.
The burning anger in his chest made Fang Yu feel a bloodthirsty impulse, and Fang Yu wanted to stab the dagger deep into the strong man's chest to calm the heat tumbling in his heart.
Things went unexpectedly, Fang Yu was only two steps away from the strong man, and the strong man was unaware of it, as if he was immersed in the pride of ruining Miรจ Suoduo, and forgot about the danger around him. Or perhaps, the strong man didn't see Fang Yu and them as dangerous at all, so he would be so careless.
Without time to think about it, Fang Yu's eyes were blood-red, he raised his hands high, and the sharp dagger stabbed at the back of the strong man's heart.
