Chapter 240: Battle of the Ruins (2)

(Thanks to the evaluation vote of "I like mini"!By the way, I ask everyone for a recommendation vote=0=)

The "Phantom Slayer" is a bizarre creature, they generally appear in magical places like ruins, they do not belong to humans, they do not belong to humanoids, they do not belong to dark creatures, and they fight in a very cruel way, so to speak, they are immortal. Once killed, its body will turn into a black mist and dissipate into the air in an instant, so no one can capture any Phantom Killer alive, nor can they study their structure or origin.

A scholar mage at Candlekeep once suggested that the Phantom Slayer was a unique sapient creature born of magic, and therefore should be classified as demonic creatures, and although they resembled humans in appearance, their body structure was completely different from any other creature.

Initially, this argument was refuted by many people, but after a few years, it quietly became mainstream. At that time, the scholar mage also mentioned another conjecture, that the Phantom Slayer was not a single creature born by chance, but an individual belonging to a group, and there may be other more powerful similar creatures in this group.

Although his first theory became mainstream, the second theory was not widely circulated because it was too absurd, and the accidental death of the mage during an outing also brought his research to an abrupt halt.

In addition, there was a strange problem for relevant scholars - in all the cases that have encountered the Phantom Slayer, it seems that the strength of this creature has remained at the peak level of the third order, neither low nor high, and they have never shown the power of protection that should be awakened when the third order is released. Judging from this phenomenon, it seems that their bodies do not evolve and do not degenerate, and remain in a state forever.

However, the discussion of this issue quickly became uninteresting, one reason is that there are no living bodies to study, and the second reason is that after all, the number of Phantom Slayers is very small, and research without research is not very useful, or at least not very profitable.

Therefore, Leon was very "lucky", and the first enemy he encountered when he entered the ruins was a demonic creature, and it was the least powerful creature among them - the Phantom Killer. It is known to some as the "Fate Terminator", meaning that when a person discovers a ruin that no one has set foot in and is ecstatic, the Phantom Killer will appear behind him, stopping his fate outside the ruins.

However, Leon was luckier than the others who encountered the Phantom Slayer, because he had a battlefield map, especially when the team framework was upgraded to level 2, and the battlefield map had also evolved, allowing him to now sense the hidden traces of third-order enemies, so when the Phantom Slayer suddenly appeared in range and was about to launch an attack on Erin, Leon pushed the girl out, and he himself took advantage of the Phantom Slayer's missed blow to chop it away with an axe.

This one is too heavy.

Although the face of the Phantom Killer could not be seen, the blood dripping down the jaw almost soaked its placket, you can imagine how severe the injury was, and the average person could not even stand up after such an injury, but this humanoid creature was still suspended on the ground, quietly facing the direction of Li Ang.

The Phantom Killer suddenly crossed his arms over his chest, and then with a wave of his hand, the jagged blade that replaced his palm seemed to cut through the air, forming two substantial wind blades in front of him and flying towards Leon, at the same time, its body slowly became virtual again, and quickly disappeared into the waves.

Leon scoffed at this, since it was slashed out of concealment by an axe, it should have understood that it had the ability to sense traces, and it would be too stupid to continue to use this trick!

He picked up his axe and smashed the two wind blades apart, and then realized that he was wrong. This time, the Phantom Killer became extremely fast even in the concealed state, almost exceeding his own perception speed, and the other party had just disappeared when the Boss's Axe touched the Wind Blade, and when the Wind Blade was scattered, the Phantom Killer appeared in front of him, and the two saw blades were almost on his neck!

Leon was startled, but luckily his right arm was in front of his chest when he picked up the axe, and he immediately raised his arm to block his throat. Although his physique is special, and only the brain is a real vital point, but parts like the neck and heart will also take quite a high fatal damage when attacked, and maybe this time he will be beaten out of "tenacity" passive.

With a "poof", the saw blade stabbed into Leon's arm and pierced it directly.

"It's a pain!"

The jagged blade slicing through the muscles strongly stimulated the young lord's nerves, but his physique was also quite strong, and his arms immediately tensed, and he used the strength of his muscles to block the castration of the saw blade, so that the sharp tip of the blade stopped only a stone's throw away from his throat.

Then Leon clenched his left hand into a fist and swung it into the opponent's lower abdomen from below, and the Phantom Slayer's body immediately blurred, and even the saw blade disappeared from the young man's arm, and then it reappeared, and with a wave of both arms, it used the saw blade to cut the opponent's neck from both sides again.

Leon punched the air, and found that the enemy's attack was almost in front of him, and he was just about to step forward, trying to hit the opponent's face door with his head while dodging the two saw blades, but found that the Phantom Killer's attack suddenly stopped, and then flashed to the left, and the saw blade close to Leang's neck left his body, and turned back to meet the two daggers attacking behind him.

A metallic sound sounded, and in just a few seconds, the saw blade and the dagger collided I don't know how many times, and at this time, the young lord also reacted, "It's Melissa!"

Although the assassin girl who suddenly appeared had just fought with the other party for a very short time, more than a dozen scars had already appeared on her body, but Melissa ignored it, still biting her lower lip and focusing on attacking.

"Damn! You almost killed the regimental commander! I'm going to kill you!" In her heart at this time, there was almost no other emotion except this sentence.

Li Ang was just startled by the other party's attack just now, but at this time, he was scared out of a cold sweat, and behind him, there were several exclamations at this time.

"Don't come here!" Leon shouted, and then swept the Leader's Axe towards the Phantom Slayer with all his strength, he knew that Melissa's potential was only a second-order, and once the first few seconds had passed, it was likely to be in a fatal crisis immediately.

The axe swept through the air, and just as it was about to reach the Phantom Slayer's body, the light around the enemy distorted, then vanished instantly, and then immediately reappeared, easily dodging the hard blow, and the blade stabbed in the same direction, towards Melissa's chest.

The assassin girl's eyes were red, she had no intention of dodging at all, and her two daggers slashed at the enemy's throat at the same time, actually wanting to exchange her life for her life.

"!" Leon also saw that it was too late to make any more attacks at this time, he threw away the leader's axe, and with a force on both legs, he cut into the battle at the fastest speed he could achieve so far, directly blocking Melissa's body.

The girl let out a short exclamation, and forcefully withdrew the dagger that turned into a stabbing at Li Ang, but she had stabbed it out desperately just now, and now she had taken it back, but her body was completely out of balance, and she crashed into the arms of the regiment leader.

Li Ang put his hands around the girl's thin body, and at the same time, there was a tearing pain in his back, which made his mouth grin, and he said while inhaling: "Girl, I know you want to help me, but don't be so reckless in the future!"

After saying that, with a force of both hands, he threw the assassin girl back.

Caterina caught the flying girl again, and then gently lowered it. A trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, because Melissa dared to think and do, and when she saw that Li Ang was in danger, she didn't even want to rush over directly, but she couldn't.

In fact, she didn't want to rush over to fight with Leon, but the knight girl had been educated in the academy for several years, and the rule of "you must trust the judgment of the commander on the battlefield and obey any orders of the commander" was emphasized by every instructor!

Caterina was silent, but she had already added the effects of the "Ring of Solemnity" and "Faith Protection" to Leon, and was ready to share the mortal damage with the last "Noble Guardian".

The young lord had temporarily escaped the pursuit of the saw blade at this time, but there was a deep wound on his back, and at the same time as he turned around, the healing mantra appeared on his body at the same time, and a bright light fell on the top of the Phantom Slayer's head, causing the powerful creature to flutter a meter in the back.

"Success!" Sophia was elated, but in a blink of an eye, it seemed that such an attack did not do much damage to the enemy.

"It's not an undead creature, and magic doesn't do much," Kaka said, "Erin, you give it a try with a magic missile." ”

Although it seems that the apprentice has suffered a big loss, but the alchemy master didn't care at all, he knew that the enemy must have been injured more severely when he was slapped on the wall by Li Ang at the beginning, but because of his special physique, he didn't come out for a while, so he ordered the mage to use a secret method that can be locked to continue to attack, as long as he can force the other party to use the skill consumption body frequently, he will soon be able to induce the injury of the phantom killer, and it is estimated that he will not even have to fight at that time, and it will not be able to support itself.

One after another, missiles with light tails rose from Erin's hands and flew towards the enemy who was fighting Leon, while the others were nervously watching the effect of the secret attack, not realizing that there was a person watching the battle on a building dozens of meters away.

“...... That's all you have, right?"

After a while, he muttered to himself, and then floated down from the building, landing in the middle of countless undead creatures.

"Let me surprise you. ”
