Under the moonlight, although he couldn't see it very clearly, when he saw that rather special figure, Leo could immediately confirm that it was the Queen of Blades.

Fortunately, it was dozens of meters away at the moment, and it could not pose any direct threat, but this also made Leo more and more confused.

"It can stealthily approach near me, if it is fast enough, even if Charlene connects to the magic array, it will not be able to detect it immediately, but why didn't it attack?"

Leo stopped all his movements, locked his eyes on the other party, and quickly had a corresponding guess: "Yes, it must have missed a series of sneak attacks yesterday, thinking that I had some special perception ability, so I didn't dare to attack." Hehe, what a cautious guy. ”

At this time, the voice of Charlene, who was in charge of guarding, finally came: "Be careful! The Queen of Blades has appeared! Just thirty meters to the side of your left hand! Hey, why is it not invisible?"

Leo shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and continued to make eye contact with the Queen of Blades.

The Queen of Blades didn't move, she didn't even blink her eyelids, her whole body was like a sculpture, and the only thing Leo could feel was the cold chill in her eyes.

Soon, Leo noticed something unusual.

According to Charlene, the Queen of Blades should have been injured a lot yesterday, but why does it seem that nothing has happened at all now, the outer skin and shell are smooth, reflecting the moonlight, and there is no trace of being scorched by the flames.

"Could it be that its resilience has reached such a terrifying level?" Leo couldn't help but guess, and his heart suddenly became more vigilant.

He has only experienced a tough battle, and if he fights this rather difficult opponent in front of him, he may not be able to successfully repel him.

The eye contact continued, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

At this time, there was a fierce magic fluctuation behind him, and he didn't need to look back at Leo Electric Energy to know, and he was sure that Charlene couldn't bear it. Ignited the magic cannon, and maybe maybe a misfire.

Leo secretly said badly, and he was almost about to cast a spell to attack. Because in his opinion, although the Queen of Blades looks very similar to humans and has considerable intelligence, she is actually controlled by a lot of instincts, and is at most half-human and half-beast. And Charlene's sudden attack is likely to bring out all of its wildness.

Sure enough, watching the electric ball shoot out, the Queen of Blades let out a sharp whistle. Then he did not retreat but advanced, and the figure suddenly rushed forward. And this time, instead of using the stealth ability like yesterday, it actually launched an attack entirely with the speed method.

As everyone knows, this is exactly what Leo wants.

Even if Charlene can borrow the magic array to find the Queen of Blades, but then communicate through words, after all, it is still a beat slower, which makes people feel uncertain.

And now, no matter how fast the enemy is, he can go and see with his eyes. Then the threat is naturally much less.

At a distance of thirty meters, it would take about 2 seconds for an intermediate fighter to initiate a charge.

Instead of casting the spell right away, Leo chose to wait and see how the opponent attacked. and then make a decision. It has even given up stealth, and it is not so unacceptable to change the way it attacks.

However, only half a second later. Leo realized that he had made a serious mistake.

He definitely shouldn't be applied to the Queen of Blades at the level of an ordinary warrior, for this kind of monster. It's not surprising that it's much faster than the average fighter.

In a second, the Blade Queen's sharp knots had already reached Leo's body, and this speed, at least twice that of an intermediate warrior, also exceeded Leo's reaction limit!

Fortunately, Leo had just experienced the battle, and his nerves had not yet relaxed, and he almost subconsciously dodged while casting the energy shield that he had prepared for a long time.

But he was still a step slower after all.

The moment before the energy shield was formed, the knotted foot had already pierced in. The only thing to be thankful for is that the instinctive dodge of the body allowed Leo to avoid the vital point, and the knotted foot grazed his ribs, and a string of blood flashed out.

The sharp pain came and deeply stimulated Leo's brain, which in turn made him more awake.

Leo gritted his teeth, did not let out a cry of pain, and dropped his big arm, trying to clamp the other party's knots and feet in the same way as yesterday.

But the Queen of Blades seemed to have guessed that Leo would do this, her body tilted slightly, and before she could be controlled, she pulled her knots back, and then continued to move forward, floating down dozens of meters away.

Leo also quickly turned and moved to prevent the opponent's continuous attacks, and this time his energy shield was in effect, and there were at least two minutes left to maintain, so the security was much higher than before.

"Professor, stop the bleeding and check the extent of the injury. Leo silently said in his consciousness that this level of injury was not too slight, and he didn't even need a potion, but he hadn't experienced it for a long time.

Under the Professor's control, the muscles at the wound automatically squeezed and deformed, sealing the wound. The platelets in the blood clot rapidly, and after just a few breaths, the blood flow stops completely. As for the toxins contained in the arthropod glands, as long as they are not instantly fatal, the professor can easily control the body and use the sebaceous gland wrapping isolation mechanism to send the toxins out of the body.

That's what's terrible about the professor, injuries that can be fatal to ordinary people, in Leo's opinion, nothing at all.

The Queen of Blades' perception was extremely acute, so it didn't take long for her to notice Leo's strangeness, which also made her very confused.

According to past experience, although the human being's injuries were not serious, his poison glands were very powerful, and they could even be compared to the Mother Emperor, as long as they hit the humans, they could quickly lose their combat effectiveness.

But the human beings in front of them, why is there nothing at all?

Even if Leo wanted to break his head, he couldn't have imagined that the Queen of Blades didn't attack again because she didn't understand it. But he himself did not dare to continue to delay. Even if you don't bear the attack, just maintain the energy shield, the consumption of spiritual power is already very huge, and with your current situation, you can only hold on for two minutes at most.

Once the crucial time has passed, and the most effective defensive magic is lost, the situation will only become more dangerous.

The confrontation continued, and Leo kept thinking about how to change the situation, and at this time, after some strange fluctuations.

A flock of colorful butterflies flew behind the side and headed towards the Queen of Blades,

Seeing the butterfly, Leo's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He was not afraid of being attacked by butterflies, but of being threatened.

There is no doubt that those butterflies are some kind of illusion magic cast by Charlene, but Charlene is not guarding the magic tower properly, and she actually ran out, which is not equivalent to sending fat meat to the wolf's mouth!

But Leo didn't dare to give a warning, which would likely make the Queen of Blades find a flaw. All that can be done now is to pray that Charlene's combat power will not be too weak, and she will not be unlucky enough to be infected by the toxin as soon as she comes up.

As the butterfly flew closer, the Blade Queen's eyes began to become confused, and she didn't know what was the effect.

The next moment, the butterflies had already flown to the Queen of Blades, and then turned into roses, fluttering away.

The Blade Queen's expression also changed, and a shallow smile appeared on her originally cold face. It's as if you've seen the most beautiful thing, or are writing about something you're most happy about.

This was really an unexpected surprise, Leo would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately activated the "Spell Enhancement" and "Elemental Space-Time" rings in his soul. At the same time, the magic is injected into the model of "Flame Funeral". But just as he was about to recite the incantation, he stopped abruptly.

Not far behind her, Charlene, who had ventured out of the magic tower, said anxiously: "Attack, my 'Butterfly Flower Fantasy' can't control it for long!"

For fear of waking up the Queen of Blades. This sentence was said in a suppressed voice, but it still sounded very sharp.

Leo shook his head firmly, and did not cast his magic. He also waved his hand at Charlene, signaling the other party to return to the magic tower quickly, in case something was aggressive inside while the magic tower was empty, it would be much easier to destroy it from the inside than to invade from the outside.

Charlene was puzzled, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask too much, but she didn't understand why Leo would let go of the opportunity to attack?

Unless...... What is his special relationship with the Queen of Blades, or is he in love with it and reluctant to do it?

Looking at the Blade Queen's almost identical and human-like face, and her very beautiful face, Charlene couldn't help but shudder.

"Impossible...... How is this possible......" Charlene shook her head vigorously, shaking off the messy thoughts, but still had no intention of leaving.

Leo didn't press again, just waited quietly.

After more than ten seconds, the petals around the Queen of Blades disappeared, and its eyes quickly recovered.

Leo read the disbelief in its eyes, but the specific charm in it has yet to be verified.

Is it disbelievable that it is being controlled, or is it disbelievable that it is not being attacked?

Leo quickly got an answer. Because after the Queen of Blades recovered, she kept her eyes on Leo, not the culprit who caused it to fall into control.

It really wondered why the enemy hadn't taken advantage of this great opportunity to sneak up.

Leo smiled, making himself look relaxed, and spread his palms. This action has a similar meaning in any race: no weapon in hand, wanting to spread kindness.

At this moment, not only Charlene, but even the Queen of Blades was stunned on the spot.

Charlene opened her mouth to say something.

In her opinion, Leo's behavior is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger and showing kindness to a monster, and that guy can't have his head broken by the caterpillar just now.

As if knowing that she was going to speak, Leo shook his head imperceptibly.

Charlene blinked, but finally swallowed what she wanted to say back into her stomach.

In fact, if Leo had to come up with a reason for doing so, he wouldn't know what to say. But one thing Leo is very sure of is that even if he attacks with all his might, he may not be able to defeat the super resistant Blade Queen.

And the other party just behaved like a creature with a complete will and feelings, so when it is impossible for both sides to achieve any benefits, it is the best decision to stop for the time being.

The Queen of Blades was still staring at Leo with her cold eyes, not knowing what to think.

Leo didn't say anything, and still kept his palms open, as a way to continue to convey sincerity.

Another few minutes passed, but it seemed to Charlene that it had been a whole night, and at this time, the Queen of Blades finally moved.

Instead of the expected attack, or a quick evacuation, it lifted its knuckle, brought it to its mouth, and then stuck out its tongue to lick the blood on it.

"Uh......" Leo was a little overwhelmed by this strange move.

The Queen of Blades didn't make any further movements, but gave Leo a deep look, then turned and left at a blistering speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"What's the situation?" Charlene was completely stunned by the sudden situation.

"It knew it wasn't going to get any good, so it made the right decision. Leo replied, and added very seriously: "Okay, now that this place is safe, you go back to guard the magic tower, and I will go back as soon as I finish dealing with this place." ”

"Oh, oh!" Charlene still couldn't figure out what had just happened, but after this experience, she didn't refute Leo's idea at all, so she immediately left obediently.

After a while, the fierce flames burned, and the corpses that had been piled up into mountains turned to ashes under the flames, returning to the origin of the world.

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

Nothing to say all night, nothing to do all night.

There were no more attacks, and no other threats occurred.

When the sun showed its first rays of brilliance above the horizon, Leo and Charlene looked at each other with a sense of relief.

But neither of them rested, holding on to their weak bodies and mental strength, until the last moment, the defensive task is not too late, and the most relaxed time is often the most likely to cause problems.

Fortunately, Leo's fears didn't come up until the bearded and tall man returned to the magic tower, and everything around them was as calm as ever.

As soon as he entered the magic tower, the bearded man patted Leo on the shoulder vigorously and exclaimed, "It's good, I've heard about it." Well, it's really good, no student can do better than you, and now it's up to us, you can go back and have a good rest. ”

"What did you hear? What did you do well?" the sudden compliment made Leo a little baffled.

But before he could ask, there was a burst of heat from the nameplate, and he hurriedly took out the task card to confirm it.

"The second step of the Fortress Horst Stage mission is complete, now please return to the Fortress of Horst and meet with Commander Lady Catherine, where the third step, the final mission, will begin!" (To be continued.) )
