Chapter 21: Escape!

Bursts of fire and roar came from a fork in the road......

Even Rhaenys, who didn't have a very high perception, felt a burning sensation in the air......

"Be careful, Master, and protect Miss Lyness." Artoria said with a serious expression.

This was a euphemism to make the two of them step back.

The next moment, a scorching ball flew out of that fork in the road!

Artoria swung her sword and flapped the orb away.

A fireball of lava smashed into the nearby wall and exploded, creating a field of flames that was still burning and flowing.

This is a magic block effect unique to the Wind King's enchantment, and Artoria uses it even more skillfully, as she unloads the power of this unknown powerful magic and reduces her mana consumption.

"Let's go!" When Zhao Tianhe saw this posture, he immediately knew that today's situation was a little bad, and pulled Rhaenys to shout to Artoria.

Although he had never seen an F-class boss look like, this magic shot was even more fierce than the E-class boss he had seen in Hero Academia!

Artoria nodded, but a red ray struck her, and she raised her sword to block, and her whole body was pressed back by the red ray, and the boots formed by the magic armor rubbed a spark on the ground......

Another red ray struck her head, but this time Artoria didn't resist, but spun around to dodge the two rays.

Zhao Tianhe and Rhaenys kept retreating, but an elite slime floating in the air suddenly appeared, and several wind blades whistled towards Rhaenys's back!

Zhao Tianhe dragged Rhaenys away, and the long sword swung to block a few wind blades, but this wind blade actually turned into dozens of subtle wind blades after being blocked, beating Zhao Tianhe all over his body!

"Ahhhhhh

The sound of howling wind swept above the two of them, but it was an invisible huge wind blade that slashed through them.

Zhao Tianhe's perceptual acuity is extremely high, so he can see the routine of this elite slime for the first time.

The monster's body floats in mid-air because it has a thick layer of compressed air around it, and its attack is to shoot out that compressed air or manipulate its transformation.

'I've long thought it's a little strange that these mutant elite slimes give a bit too much experience points, so it turns out that they have also been strengthened? Zhao Tianhe swallowed, and at the same time thought of Artoria's unequaled posture along the way, which seemed to be no different from before......

"Also, after the favorability is upgraded, all attributes have increased again...... Zhao Tianhe let go of Lydys, quickly crawled to the bottom of this mutant elite, and the whole person got up and raised his sword to stab!

Zhao Tianhe could feel that the compressed air around the monster's body was constantly deforming and condensing, and the thickness of each part was different, and its lowest convenience was the weakest point!

This sword, which condensed all the strength, really pierced the weakest point of this monster's air shield directly, and directly killed it.

Out of control, the compressed air turned into a gust of wind that swept through the entire cave, and Zhao Tianhe bore the brunt of the blow and fell to the ground.

But a strong arm grabbed him by the back of the neck and didn't let him fall.

But the next moment, he felt the sound of the wind again!

Artoria held Rhaenys in one hand and Zhao Tianhe's armor in the other, and rushed out of the cave with all her might!

A crimson ray passed through Zhao Tianhe's legs and struck him under his belly, creating a fist-sized depression in the hard rocky ground......

"This isn't a monster I can deal with right now!" Artoria said loudly. "But you did a great job! Otherwise, I'll be on my back! ”

"Thank you for the compliment......" Zhao Tianhe looked at the crimson rays behind him that were still sweeping, and the corners of his eyes jumped.

However, the unknown monster seemed to be unable to move, so it was fine when it was out of its ray range.

In the fork in the road, the fire became brighter and brighter, and a magma ball about two meters in diameter shot out!

The huge fireball hit the cave wall directly, but this time the sphere only burst on the shell, but the inside was glued to the wall, and then slowly flowed down, and finally became a red and cold slime, the whole body was like a moving molten steel!

This slime squirmed a few times, turned into a ball, and then rolled at high speed in the direction where Zhao Tianhe and the others were fleeing!

The sphere slime spins faster and faster, and even if it occasionally hits a wall, it only slows down slightly, but it still quickly turns and continues to rush forward, looking like an oversized steel ball!

Artoria, who was running, heard a slight vibration behind her, put down Zhao Tian and the two, raised her sword and turned around.

"What's the situation?" Zhao Tianhe asked.

"There are pursuers, very strong, very fast." Artoria frowned and took a deep breath. "Run."

"Can't I help?" Zhao Tianhe took a deep breath and asked.

"I can't help." Artoria shook her head.

"I can cure it!" Rhaenys shouted unwillingly.

"I'm probably going to die if I'm wounded......," Artoria said, shaking her head, in a very flat tone. Let's wait until you can heal the mutilated limb at speed. ”

"Hmm......" Rhaenys clenched the staff in her hand with some reluctance.

"Let's go, trust Saber." Zhao Tianhe understood the seriousness of the matter, and pulled Rhaenys up and walked the way he came.

"Miss Saber! To live! Rhaenys cried out.

"Hmm." Artoria smiled back.

Rumble!

The huge fiery steel ball smashed into the corner more than ten meters in front of Artoria, sinking into most of her body under the huge power potential energy......

Seeing this scene, Rhaenys closed her eyes and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The red-hot steel ball slowly dissolved, turning into a slime form, and dozens of bubbles bulged out of its body......

Burst!

A bubble popped, and a large pool of molten steel liquid spilled onto Artoria!

"It's very simple...... It's not as threatening as the scroll just now. Artoria muttered to herself. If it weren't for the fact that your body is troublesome and my strength is not complete, there is no need to be distressed......"

Artoria picked up a stone on her toes and slammed it into the molten steel slime.

Needless to say, this kind of attack is naturally ineffective, but Artoria doesn't intend to hurt the other party with this move, she wants to provoke.

And this monster, whose IQ was obviously no different from other slimes, also killed her as expected.

Several hot spikes erupted from it and shot at Artoria, only to be easily deflected by her.

"Is it magical...... ...... then" Artoria calmly looked at the monster in front of her and smiled slightly. "Maybe you can give the master a big gift......"
