Chapter 197: The Death of Drost (5k)
Ivus stared at each other, his expression serious and cautious.
The "mirage" ritual is not simple.
This is a large ritual that can only be used by the Archwizard, an advanced class of the Spell Mage.
The effect in the game is to make yourself and your teammates instantly invisible, and create a batch of mirror clones that inherit one-tenth of their attack power and can be manipulated at will in the distance.
Mirror clones cannot cast spells or use items, but they have no entities unless they attack. Only entities are present within three seconds of the attack.
This thing is annoying, it's really annoying - it doesn't hurt much, it's better than annoying.
Not only will it always provide a view when you are around, but it can also taunt and trash talk. If the opponent doesn't have countermeasure skills, they won't be able to fight back.
If you don't protect the back row, it's easy to be cut to death by a few illusions; They can also be materialized by active attacks, which can be used to resist damage and block some skills.
But Ivas had a way of dealing with them.
Because the nature of this clone is a curse, it can be dispelled by the ability to dispel curses.
What really gave him a headache was the identity of the other party.
Ivus knew very little about this enemy - as the leader of the noble red, this man had not even made it to the book.
Although Noble Red is a villain organization in the early stage, it can also bully and bully Avalon. When Avalon was gone, he was rubbed back and forth by Star Antimony, Iris, and Camelot three times...... But he has not been completely disbanded until 6.0.
The only thing that Ivus knew was that this man was a true "godborn". As a direct descendant of Xiong Tianji, he has noble blood in his body, and his ultimate goal is to emulate Arthur of the past and take the position of Tianji as a mortal.
…… But now it seems that he is related to his grandfather, Jacob Alexander?
Seeing Ivas purse his lips, Wolfram was in a happy mood.
As a giant, he is actually a little blind when he looks at humans and elves, and he can't tell his age. Just like a human looking at a dog, it is rare to tell the difference in appearance other than the general breed.
"Your grandfather, Jacob, was the mentor who taught me the profession of 'Spell Mage'."
Wolfram said slowly: "Teacher......"
“…… I don't know anything Jacob. ”
Ivus was silent for a moment, then whispered.
"Oh, that's reasonable. After all, your whole family is dead, orphan.
"Still, how did you know about this ritual? This is a ritual developed by the old man...... Did he really leave behind a legacy? Forget it, it doesn't matter. Since you said you don't know ......"
Wolfram smiled and said, "Then you probably won't care, your grandfather was cursed by me, right?" ”
Ivus's eyes narrowed.
The predecessor of the noble red, one of the founders of the Scaleless Hand.
Eivers' grandfather, Jacob Alexander, died of "typhoid fever" fourteen years ago.
And now, he has finally confirmed the cause of his grandfather's death.
Ivas clasped it in the palm of his wheelchair's armrest, and a red card appeared silently.
The Great Guardian stood in front of Ivus and whispered, "Don't be impulsive. As you said, they're just illusions - what's going on inside? ”
"It's settled."
Eivas's voice couldn't hear the emotion, and it was calm and terrifying: "I have cured all the people who might die, and I have killed those who tried to set off bombs." ”
"Jacob's grandson, he looks good."
The other, slightly shorter giant, also didn't care about the life or death of those demon scholars, and just followed with a mockery: "It just looks like the legs and feet are not very good......
"—couldn't it be hurt by the curse that flowed in his blood? By the way, do you know how your biological parents died? ”
"Heh......"
Hearing this, Ivus suddenly laughed.
The cards in his palm were also taken back by him.
Instead, there is a flame burning in the cracks.
He spread his palms and leaned back in his wheelchair, raising his head slightly, revealing his neck and collarbone relaxedly.
Ivas sighed and looked at the noble red with pity: "So you don't know anything either......"
I don't know about Shadow Fiend, and I don't know about Aleister. Don't even know about Professor Moriarty.
- It's just a more playable pawn.
I saw a golden-red butterfly, condensed and born from the palm of Aihuas, and stopped at the tip of Aihuas's middle finger.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused.
"It's not time to ask you for an account."
Ivus said calmly, and the butterfly slowly spread its wings and flapped: "Get out." ”
Butterflies crack as they fly. Blooming like the sun.
The two giants didn't dodge, they just watched the butterfly approach them.
- because when the Great Guardian appeared, they knew that the operation had failed.
It's none of their business - the Star Antimony people make it clear that no fifth-level transcendent will arrive within an hour. Of course, they did not fully believe the woman's statement, so they planned to end the battle in half an hour. But it had only been twenty minutes before the Great Guardian arrived.
Then it might as well test it and see what Jacob's grandson is capable of-
"Is that this little butterfly?"
The shorter giant sneered, "It's really ......"
Before he finished speaking, the brilliant golden aura centered on the butterfly and spread out towards the surroundings.
It is the brilliance that restores all distortions and curses.
It shines on the Great Guardian, and there is no temperature.
But the two giants suddenly burst into flames of gold—they burned as fast as they could burn cotton cloth soaked in wine.
In just an instant, their faces were burned to the ground, and their limbs were burned to the point that only vague frames remained.
…… Devotion to the path of the dispel spell.
The Great Guardian felt the light and muttered in his heart.
He was in a heavy mood, reflecting on his own uncoolness and looking around vigilantly.
I was actually frightened by the vision...... No, irritated to be exact.
The "Eye of Avalon" had obviously seen the truth, but when he saw Wolfram, he still lost his reason for a moment.
It's not so much that I'm worried that he's used some means to get into the glass island, but rather that I subconsciously hope that he can come back and give him a chance to make up for the humiliation he once had. That's why he subconsciously denied the possibility that this was an illusion.
He even had to remind himself of Ivus......
I'm still too young.
The Great Guardian, who was in his early forties this year, thought bitterly.
And when the light completely dissipated, the illusion of the two giants disappeared without a trace.
Even the rituals of exorcism and energy drain that were in operation were dispersed by the golden butterfly.
- But the strange thing is that after the loss of the two giants who are the backbone of the heart, the red-robed people did not flee and did not fear.
As soon as the Great Guardian appeared, they stood motionless as if they had been disconnected.
After the giant disappeared, they paused for a moment, and then immediately began to cast spells on Ivus in unison.
They are all ritual spells that require materials and a lot of time, and none of them are more difficult to cast than the third level. However, the lethality is not low - if you hit Ivus directly, he may be near death after about two shots.
…… Worried? Golem curse? Or is it a trapper?
Ivus's heart moved slightly, and he roughly guessed that they must be controlled by the shorter giant.
No wonder they obey orders so neatly...... No wonder the two giants didn't feel distressed at all when they died.
It turned out to be a bunch of cannon fodder used as batteries and mobile circles.
- Forget it, it doesn't matter.
Cannon fodder is also experience.
As a group of crispy mages, he sent out all his talisman demons to send a round of death, and then stood on the spot and read the strip output - isn't this looking for death?
If the Great Guardian is not there, then it is understandable. After all, it's not good for them to bring demons when they retreat, so it's better to send them away directly, and they can also save the materials and mana needed to cast spells.
The lawmage's mana was burned by them, and the Overseer's combat power was almost worn out by the two rounds of demons. They fired two more volleys, and the people inside were almost dead.
The transcendence path with a first-mover advantage is very terrifying.
And the only high-level transcendent, Director Atayal, couldn't resist the illusions of the two giants at all—even if he only had one-tenth of his strength, he was a fifth-level giant former berserker after all.
"Can you give me the rest, Mr. George?"
Ivus asked softly, "I'm a little ...... Wants to kill. ”
Around him, three crimson butterflies slowly condensed.
I guess I want to vent my anger.
The Great Guardian thought to himself.
Although Ivas was well suppressed, he had just caught a hint of anger in Ivus's tone and expression. He could also capture the true killing intent in Evas's words.
However, now that the crisis has been resolved, let Ivus vent his anger. These demonic scholars are the ones to die for.
Think of it as a reminder of the other party's gratitude for seeing through the illusion.
"Just do what you want."
So the Great Guardian pinned the long knife in his left hand to his waist, took out his pocket watch, which was identical to the Avalon emblem, held it in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I will protect you—no spell will hurt you in the slightest." ”
As he spoke, the pocket watch glowed white.
Even though it was close to noon, the white light shone brighter than the daylight.
"That's it......"
Ivus muttered softly, closing his eyes and looking sad, "Thank you very much, Mr. George. ”
But his heart was excited.
- I just sold it badly, and the big guy agreed to take me to brush up on the experience!
Then I'm not going to let go of any of them-
Aihuas made up his mind to use up all his fire attribute mana here, and how many he could kill was a few.
And on the other side.
Lily, who was wrapped in the shadow demon, also appeared silently at the door of Drost's cell after helping Ivus kill the demon scholars within the Overseer.
Demon scholars are so vulnerable without demonic protection.
They didn't even release the protective ritual on themselves...... Lily didn't even let the Shadow Fiend do anything, just using the Shadow Stealth ability, and killed them so easily.
There wasn't much time for Ivus to buy her, and Lily had to finish what she had to do as soon as possible.
- Kill your own father.
Her gray eyes stared at the fat seal-like old man in front of her, with a complicated expression.
But the Shadow Fiend spoke directly, and said in its deep, hoarse voice, "It's been a long time...... Mr. Antlers. ”
“…… Aless? ”
Hearing this, Drost suddenly woke up.
He tried to look in that direction, but saw nothing.
Unlike the woman who had been called "Blood Diamond" before, her body always emitted a hazy glimmer like moonlight—even if his eyes widened, he couldn't see anything from the place where "Aleister's" voice came from
Even if the other party probably couldn't see him, Drost still had a kind and cheerful smile on his face: "Mr. Alest, or is it Miss?" So you came to save me this time? ”
As he said this, his heart lifted slightly, and he was a little inexplicably nervous.
And he kept babbling: "Thank you so much - by the way, how did you know my identity?" ”
"Of course Miss Ash told me."
The shadow demon was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and laughed in a low voice.
"Ash ...... Is it also a young lady? What a faux pas......"
Chancellor Droester's face was ashamed, and at the same time he tested the attitude of "Miss Alesser": "When I thought he was a little gentleman, I thought he was ...... He has a special relationship with the Grey-Green Lady...... After all, the Grey-Green Lady does have this preference, I know it......"
If Aleister doesn't have a good relationship with Ash, then she'll be sarcastic or silent.
If they have a good relationship, she will refute this speculation for the other party.
But "Aless" just laughed: "I heard that you investigated me?" ”
"Indeed."
Drost did not hide in the slightest: "It is necessary to be cautious......"
"Say whatever you want."
"Aless" said: "Stretch out your hands, and I'll help you cut the handcuffs." ”
"Okay—"
Drost was sure that the other party was the one who saved him: "You guys came in directly?" What about the Great Guardian? ”
"He's not there because someone in the royal family died......"
"Aless" laughed and whispered.
The next moment, the shadow turned into a sharp blade.
Directly cut off Drost's hands.
He let out a scream and staggered back two steps.
"You-"
Drost said angrily.
But he just made a sound, and he stopped immediately.
He was silent for a moment, then turned into a gesture of humility to the point of humility: "You did help me cut off the handcuffs that bound me......"
"You just say that your hands are free. It can be cured anyway. ”
The Shadow Fiend smiled lowly and said in a pleasant voice, "Come, stretch your legs over." I'll cut off your shackles. ”
Drost hesitated this time.
"What," said the Shadow Demon aggressively, "you're afraid I'll cut off your leg too?" ”
"Not really...... I'm sure you ......"
As he spoke, Drost stretched his leg over.
He didn't have a choice.
It doesn't matter if Aleister is cruel or if he is revenge for his investigation...... He didn't have a choice.
I can only swallow my anger.
You wait, wait until I get to the Star Antimony......
Droste said with hatred in his heart.
Heard that Aleister is a woman? It's nice to be a woman...... He knows too well how to torture a woman.
The next moment, he let out another scream.
His legs were also severed.
"I know how to torture a woman too well...... That's what you think, right? ”
"Alessal" scoffed.
"-You can read minds?!"
Drost's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Unfortunately, I won't. I guess. ”
Shadow Fiend chuckled, "Looks like I guessed right. ”
For some reason, Lily, who was silent, suddenly felt that Miss Shadow Demon had become a little more similar to Ivus......
If it was Young Master Ivas, he might have done the same.
"Please, Miss, spare me......"
Drost immediately knelt humbly on the ground, despite the fact that his arms and legs were cut off, and endured the pain, and threw his forehead on the ground: "Or you will cut off my head......"
Wait a minute, Miss Shadow Fiend......
Lily suddenly said in her heart.
She wanted to know that she would be murdered...... Is it because she is an illegitimate child, or is it because she is a girl?
Shadow Fiend patiently listened to her words and couldn't help but laugh.
"Give you a chance, Charles Drost. Your youngsters, grandchildren...... Who is your favorite child? ”
"Aless" let out a cruel laugh and whispered, "You'd better not lie." ”
"It's my granddaughter...... Surjani Drost. ”
Drost was uneasy.
"Why?" Shadow Fiend asked.
"Because ......"
Drost hesitated, but replied honestly, "Because she is also my daughter." ”
Hearing this, Lily closed her eyes. suppressed the restless killing intent in his heart.
"Hahaha......"
Shadow Fiend laughed happily, "It's you, old thing—then if I ask you to give her to me as a sacrifice in exchange for your survival." Would you agree? ”
“…… You're not Aleister? ”
Are you a shadow fiend?
Hearing this, Droist was suddenly startled and wanted to raise his head.
But as soon as he was about to look up, he was kicked the back of his head and pressed back.
- Only demons ask for sacrifices.
No wonder she can read people's hearts...... No wonder they are so grumpy......
"So what?"
The Shadow Demon said cruelly, "To give, or not to give?" ”
"I'll give, I'll give!"
Drost said without hesitation: "I can give you everything!" The whole Drost family could-"
Before he could finish speaking, the foot on his neck suddenly became harder.
“…… I get it. ”
A voice that should have been extremely gentle, but at this moment, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded: "You don't love anyone at all...... Master Drost.
"My voice, is it familiar?"
"Are you ......?"
Drost couldn't remember who the voice was.
So he tried to reply, "The real Aleister?" ”
Suddenly, an incomparably thick black spiral spear pierced in front of him, pushing him straight up like a flag.
"—if the young master wants to."
Lily said, "I can be. ”
The next moment, the Shadow Demon's evil and crazy laughter rang out.
In Drost's terrible screams, his limbs were torn to shreds by the Shadow Fiend.
