323 Tooth of the Flame Demon
The clouds were hanging and the rain was heavy.
The spring rain, which had been pouring all night, suddenly took off its warm coat in the darkness before dawn and struck the earth like a fierce drumbeat.
It seems that even they know that the moment the curtain finally falls, it needs some more passionate emotions to cooperate.
Louder than the raindrops was the sound of horses' hooves, and the three knights rode their horses from the southbound road, and only a pale white flame, swaying in the wind and rain but not extinguished, barely dispelled the thick darkness around them.
"Who's coming? Stop being inspected!" a group of forbidden army outposts who were patrolling back and forth heard the movement here, and asked sharply from afar. While it was unlikely that Onessa would have had some ambushes, the cautious Praetorian commander had left a handful of Rangers to guard the road to Amphen.
Allegri tugged on the reins, slowing down slightly. Dios, who was behind him, did not hesitate to slap his horse up, his long sword slamming out of its sheath, and surging energy swayed out. At the same time, the bowstring between the half-elf's fingers had already been flicked, and several hoarse screams followed, proving that the white feather arrows that had just been shot had accurately appeared at the throat of the enemy.
There was no need for Allegri to make a move, and the two of them had already dealt with the team of Rangers lightly. Illo lowered his bone bow, his long ears poking out of his hood, and suddenly spoke, "There are shouts of killing ahead. β
The two beside him subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, since the battle was not over yet, then no matter what, they should still be able to catch up with something to recover.
"In that direction, there are thousands of soldiers gathered, it should be enemy reinforcements, and they are preparing to enter the battlefield. Illo tilted his head and pointed his finger. Of the three, he has the widest range of perception with his detection methods. And the most perceptive.
"Maintain your 'sensitive touch', Illo," Allegri said with a snap of his fingers, extinguishing the flame that could easily reveal his whereabouts, moving his somewhat stiff hands and feet, "You lead us over and try to find Onisha as quickly as possible." β
"This weather and environment. The engagement belt between the two sides won't be too long," Dios next to him also suggested, "Let's cut into the woods at the edge of the battlefield, and Onessa should be in the area where the battle is most intense." β
Illo nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly, his tempered spiritual power tentacles like fingers in his arms, swimming in all directions like nimble snakes, instantly feeding back the information they had obtained. The three of them rushed to the woods, turned over and dismounted. Guided by the half-elves, the route is tortuous and swift.
Possessing a powerful means of foresight, they managed to avoid most of the enemy forces, leaving the scattered sentinels who did not pose any threat at all thanks to the tacit cooperation of Dios and Illo.
"This way. Putting the longbow away again, Illo commanded softly. The location of the three of them is only a hundred steps away from the road in front of the Borello estate. The constant shouting of killing was as clear as my ears. Due to the peculiar development of the situation, they bypassed the alert of the Praetorian Army. Just in the middle of the two battle lines, you can already see the burning remnants.
"Huh?" said Allegri, who was following him, in a slightly confused nasal voice, "Over there." How can there be such a familiar fluctuation of magic?"
"Can you tell who it is?" said Dios, after being promoted to the top of the magician, the spells released will be imprinted with their own distinctive style, and some well-informed archmages can even distinguish the specific identity of the caster.
"In a hurry. I can't remember...... Allegri kept on his feet, but his brow furrowed at the sharp thought. During this time, the three of them could already vaguely see the battlefield on both sides, but he suddenly turned his head and looked in the northeast direction, in his feelings, the somewhat familiar magic fluctuations suddenly grew rapidly, and seemed to be continuously extracting the free energy around him. Then, another flame magic that he was familiar with to the extreme appeared out of thin air and burned vigorously.
"How...... Is it Teacher Herseus's magic fluctuations?" After savoring it for a moment, Allegri was suddenly startled, but after a moment he shook his head and denied, "No, no, it should just be the enchanted instrument he left behind. β
"With Master Herseus's style, it is not surprising that Onisha will be left with a few small things. Dios whispered.
As they spoke, the three of them walked at the same time, turning over an abandoned stone wall and looking in the direction Allegri had spoken.
The war came to its worst.
Blood and death are eternity.
Between the crippled walls and the piles of corpses, the Fire Demon Knight and Borriero's private army mobilized all the remaining strength and fought together again.
Not far behind them, Onessa rode her horse and raised her right hand in the air.
Obscure magic fluctuations, centered on her palm, oscillated one by one, inspiring layers of pale gray ripples.
This is a tide of mana, a typical sign of a high concentration of mana.
As the girl chanted in a low voice, the magic lines of the same color separated from the magic tide, and gradually formed a huge inverse six-pointed star magic array in mid-air.
A purple-red flame was burning in the center of the circle, that is, above the palm held up by Onesha.
"It's a summoning circle," Allegri took the lead in making a judgment as he ran in that direction, observing carefully, but there was still a little confusion between his eyebrows, "but what exactly does she want to summon?"
"Wait, did you see that?" Illo next to her suddenly interjected, "she was holding something in her palm. β
"What is it?" Allegri hurriedly asked, his vision far inferior to that of a half-elf, and with the dazzling firelight, he couldn't see any specific details.
"Like...... It's like a tooth. Illo squinted, his pupils slender as slits, trying to discern.
Tooth?
The three of them glanced at each other, and in an instant, a name that will never be forgotten emerged from the deep memory at the same time.
I see, is it......
"This is a summoning circle," Haji and Allegri made the same judgment almost at the same time on the hillside not far away, the blue in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and muttered, "Look at the fluctuation of the flame magic, could it be that you are summoning a high-level fire elemental?" But immediately, he overturned his guess, "No, in this case, even summoning a more powerful Flame Lord will not help...... And, this breath ......"
"It doesn't matter what it is, it's just a catch. Cartroman's hands had begun to glow with a reddish aura.
"This breathβ" Haji seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly said, "Quick, stop her, that's the Lord of the Fire Demons!" (to be continued......
