Chapter 17: The strength of the black robe

In the blink of an eye, the chain touched the lion statue and tied it firmly.

Immediately after, the black-robed man said to the two of them: "Attack! Its power is too great, I can't last long, it will soon break free!"

Hearing his voice, Dina shot the arrow in her hand almost instinctively. Her archery skills were good, and the arrows flew straight by, hitting the "eye" of the lion statue in an instant.

"Ding!" there was a crisp sound, and the arrow landed on the ground, failing to do any damage to the red gem.

But this time, it seems to have completely angered the lion statue. It began to struggle, and although it could not break free from the black robe's magical control for the time being, the black chains were constantly elongating and deforming, and it looked like it was likely to break in the next second. And the black-robed body also trembled violently, he was directly linked to his own magic.

"Don't attack indiscriminately, read my punctuation clearly!" said the black-robed man through gritted teeth.

"But where's your punctuation!" Dina wanted to ask back in such a loud voice, but she didn't dare.

There was no doubt that she was now the weakest of the three, and if she really provoked the black robe, she would not be able to gain any benefit. And she didn't think that the young mages around her would fight against the terrible black robes for their own sake.

At this time, a gray rune appeared on the forehead of the lion statue.

Without the hint of the black robe, Leo's magic has already been cast. However, he didn't dare to use the powerful but also dynamic fire elemental magic, but instead cast a light arrow spell.

The arrow, composed purely of energy, flickered and hit the gray rune with precision.

"Poof!" sounded like a piercing of tattered leather, and the light bolt actually pierced straight in.

In the next moment, the lion statue's struggling movements quickly stiffened, and finally stopped completely.

Leo didn't expect that a most ordinary light arrow technique could do such a thing. But he soon realized that it must be that the runes of the black robe were not just markers. It is also able to expose the weakness of the lion statue.

"But how can he find the weakness?" Leo didn't understand, because through the psychic scan, he didn't find anything.

"Well, the timing was right. The black robe exhaled, and his voice sounded a little weak.

It seems that he just used that control magic and created punctuation to weaken the lion statue's defenses, and it was also very expensive for him. Taking a moment's breath, he continued, "Let's hurry, it won't be long before this thing returns to its original state." ”

"Can it be restored?" Dina, taken aback. He also hurriedly withdrew his hand that wanted to touch the lion statue.

Leo looked helpless, really thinking differently, how did this reckless woman grow so big, and how did she become an adventurer.

As for the black robe, she didn't pay attention to her at all, and went directly around the lion statue and walked towards the depths of the passage.

Soon, the three of them came to a room inside the Magic Tower. The black robe opened the door with a few clicks. But he didn't enter immediately, but looked into it cautiously.

"Luckily, nothing has changed. He whispered and entered the room first. Then he beckoned: "Come in, it's relatively safe inside." ”

Curious, Leo entered the room.

A strong smell of putrefaction, exactly the same as what I had smelled outside.

And the environment inside is surprisingly large. There are not many furnishings around, giving people a feeling of emptiness.

Suddenly, Dina let out a scream. Leo hurriedly turned around. I saw her pointing to the left. And looking in the direction she pointed out, Leo was also taken aback.

One of the walls in the corner of the room flipped over at some point, revealing a human, staggering along. Judging by his height, body shape, etc., Leo was sure that it was a human, but the terrible thing was that this human had no skin on his body, and all the red muscles were exposed.

"What kind of monster is this......"

Since entering here, Leo has seen all kinds of monsters, so much so that his immunity has been greatly improved now, and he quickly regained his composure.

This time, the black robe didn't explain again, but while chanting the incantation, he directly stretched out his hand and pushed it hard.

"Bang!" An invisible force field appeared, instantly slamming the monster against the wall, becoming torn apart, and "tragically dying" on the spot.

"Bigby Smashing the Palm!" Leo recognized the magic cast by the black robe for the first time, and his heart pounded at the same time.

Before leaving, the black robe clearly said that he was level 6, but the powerful high-level magic he was casting now needed at least level 7 before he could cast it.

The black robe seemed to sense Leo's thoughts, and said in a stiff tone: "Don't just watch, fight!"

"Fighting?" Leo was slightly stunned, and then realized that the wall on the other side had also been flipped over, and two white skeletons came out of it.

This lowest-level necromantic creature is not difficult to solve, and with just one multi-mana missile, it will all break them all apart, and they will never be able to stand up again.

Just at this time, Leo's eyes fell on the door behind him, only to find that the gate had closed on its own!

A bad premonition lingered in him, and while there were no other walls to flip, he hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on? What is this place?"

"Challenge room. The black robe still said in an emotionless hoarse voice.

"Be specific. The other party has always had this attitude, and Leo is also a little angry, so his voice is naturally higher, "If I don't know the situation, I can't help you." ”

The black-robed man was obviously moved by this reason, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "This is a game set up by His Excellency Fink Huls. The challenger enters the room and is greeted with all sorts of things he has synthesized. With each challenge, the difficulty increases. The Legacy of Lord Fink Hulse will then be rewarded based on the outcome of the challenge. ”

Leo didn't complain about why the other party didn't say it earlier, but just asked, "Is there any danger to life?"

"Yes, but it's not big, I can't hold on, I can choose to give up. The black-robed man replied.

"Are there any information about human alchemy in these rewards?" Leo continued.

"Yes, very important and precious material. But that's just a few of the many rewards. The black-robed voice fluctuated rarely, "I only need the information on human alchemy, other things. Pick and choose. ”

Leo smiled and said, "But what if I want to give up now?"

"No, you won't. The black robe shook his head, "I can see that you are a very reasonable person, and you will not want to bear my wrath." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Leo could say anything more, another wall opened in front of him, and two monsters with three heads and seven or eight arms rushed out.

Helpless to helpless. But Leo had to get into the fight again.

............

Half an hour later, the full seven challenges were over.

As the black robe said, the difficulty is getting higher and higher every time, and the monsters are getting more and more strange and weird.

And the monster that appeared just now is already extremely difficult, according to Leo's estimate, its strength has definitely reached a high-level level, and it also has a lot of headaches.

Fortunately, monsters are monsters after all. I didn't have much intelligence, so I was still defeated by three people joining forces.

It is said that the three of them joined forces, but in fact, Dina did not play a role at all. After reaching the fourth round, the arrows she shoots are no longer able to penetrate the monster's skin.

Look at the multi-legged monster in front of you that has been burned to charred by the flames. Leo took a deep breath, barely suppressed the feeling of weakness caused by the large consumption of mental power, and said, "Do you want to continue?"

"Of course, that's the last time! There's a good chance that what I need will appear!" The hoarse voice of the black-robed man revealed an unconcealed anticipation.

His condition is much better than Leo's, because the previous monsters basically used Leo as the main attacking force.

on this. Leo didn't express his displeasure.

This thing is easy to understand, it is definitely not the first time that the black robe has entered this challenge, but he has definitely not gotten what he wants yet. That can also show that his strength when he participated in the challenge before did not reach the level where he could achieve his goals.

And now, the black robe has arrived again, and he may have been fully prepared, but being able to save some more strength in the previous rounds will definitely be more helpful for the next challenge. For his own safety, and for the sake of being able to get out of here smoothly, Leo doesn't mind putting in a little more effort.

Of course, this is not because he believes in the black robe, but because he has a life-saving hole card, a kind of confidence in his own judgment.

After a short break of a few minutes, the challenge begins again.

But unlike before, this time the monster didn't emerge from behind the wall. After a not-so-pleasant sound, a square passage opened in the center of the room, and a figure stepped down.

The moment she saw this figure, Leo's hand touched the key that she had already prepared, and Dina didn't know how many times she screamed.

Although it looks different, the blue-skinned humanoid creature in front of it is definitely the same kind as the one encountered outside, a flesh puppet!

The scene of that guy violently dismantling the metal bear just now left too deep an impression on Leo, and he never thought that he could compete with this perverted monster.

"This time I'll be the main attacker, and you two will find an opportunity to cooperate with me. The black-robed face was hidden under the hood, but it still showed solemnity, "Prepare your strongest attack!"

As he spoke, he quickly recited the incantation.

Sensing the threat, the flesh puppet slammed forward, targeting the black-robed man. Its speed was astonishingly fast, and it was already within ten meters almost as soon as it was activated.

But the black robe not only did not mean to retreat, but instead faced it head-on, and waved his hand to shoot out a burning black fireball.

"Bang!"

The fireball exploded in the outer force field of the flesh puppet in an instant, but the flames did not disperse, but seemed to be stuck to the force field, constantly maintaining a burning state, and in the blink of an eye, it had already penetrated a little inward.

"%#¥......@!" the flesh golem shouted words that no one could understand, and fear appeared on his face.

There is no doubt that the enemy's black fireball poses a serious threat to it.

Of course, the black robe couldn't give the flesh puppet any chance, and when he raised his hand, he shot the same black fireball, which was not affected by the magic cooldown.

Before Leo could react to what was going on, he suddenly drew a dagger with a bloody light and rushed forward.

"Peng!"

The black-robed body slammed directly into the black flames he had created, and with another force under his feet, he finally completely broke through the flesh puppet's defensive force field.

However, due to the impact of the flames, the black robe he was wearing was also burned.

Ignoring it, the black robe poked out the dagger straight and stabbed it accurately into the flesh puppet's chest.

"#¥@*!" the flesh golem roared again, waving its arms and smashing it into the black robe with its terrifying force.

"Click!"

With the crisp sound of bones cracking, the black robe flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, and in the process of flying, he barely let out a shout: "Attack the dagger!"

Leo had already discovered that the part of the flesh puppet hit by the dagger was cracking and obscene in a large area, as if it was extracting its vitality.

Without thinking, he opened his mouth and spewed out a spark.

At this time, the black robe had fallen heavily to the ground, and his injuries were already very serious, and after seeing this inconspicuous spark, he was almost fainted.

"Damn it, I'm letting you use the strongest attack!" he roared fiercely, his voice weak and unpleasant like a tattered bellows.

Without bothering to check his injuries and extinguish the flames on his body, the black-robed man struggled to get up from the ground, ready to draw the last of his strength and deliver a complete fatal blow to the flesh puppet. Others can never count on it, and at the final moment, you have to rely on yourself!

In the next second, Mars came into contact with the flesh golem that had been completely destroyed.

The black robe found out in disbelief, and the spark instantly turned into a raging fire, enveloping the flesh puppet entirely.

"It's ...... Long Huo...... "His eyesight was quite good, and he quickly recognized the source of the flames, and his agitated mind completely calmed down, and with a wave of spiritual power, the flames on his body were extinguished.

Ahead, the Flame Nova was as terrifying as ever, and the core ability of the bloodline puppet had been completely sealed by the black-robed dagger, so it could no longer resist effectively.

In a short time, this originally very strong monster suffered almost the same fate as the monster that appeared in the previous round, turning into a piece of black charcoal, emitting a pungent burnt smell.

"Whew, whew, whew......" The black robe gasped heavily, his voice full of joy, "It worked! Hahaha, I succeeded!" (To be continued......
