123. Alien
"Young people now...... It's a headache to be too motivated. ”
Probably because of the resentment contained in it, the human girl who originally seemed to be more kind finally showed a murderous aura that lived up to her identity as an assassin...... Then, for some reason, the elf girl who rose up with her, together with the assassin girl, turned the entire dungeon upside down.
Skasa found that he didn't need to exert too much effort at all, although there were only two people, but the cooperation of the two girls was quite tacit, and the court mages who exceeded them were not tired.
Although Fa Ye has a strong suppression ability against any opponent of the same Cheng Dù, this is only an advantage in configuration. A series of factors such as mentality, proficiency, control, will, etc., can all determine the balance of victory - in these aspects, Hina is not at a disadvantage.
"You say you're an assassin!?"
The wolf followed up with a close-range thrust from Sheena, and found that his magic shield was already showing signs of being broken, and the court mage who was taken care of by Sheena had cold sweat on his head.
- Are you tm suing me that the guy who rushed up directly with the guy just in front of me was an assassin?
This girl's appearance is like ↗ a stunned young man who has just learned martial arts - but such an extremely "reckless" swordsman has completely suppressed him. From the very beginning, they were overwhelmed by the stormy offensive of the other side.
That's right. He's not alone...... The three of his accomplices, who had come with him, were four in all. was completely dragged down by a young human girl.
"A fully embodied shadow, but it's not just a man-made object......" Skarsa vaguely "saw" something else in the dark shadows of several shadow masters summoned by Sheena. “...... Is it someone else's soul? It's certainly not the same person as Sheena, but why is there such a similarity?"
Skassar saw another court mage beside him, and took the time to throw a death touch at Sheena - the evil aura in it was obvious that it was not the effect of normal dark magic.
It's the same dark power as the guy who was sealed in the first place.
Skasa was about to come to Hina's aid, after all, she knew quite well that the lethality of this alien dark force was not something that Shena, a human assassin, could withstand—but before she could make a move. A Shadow Master took the lead, using his body to block the near-instant attack.
The black magic with amazing lethality did not cause much substantial damage to the Shadow Master, and the black shadow only flickered slightly, and then continued to fight with his opponent.
"This kind of multi-purpose operation accuracy is rare. ”
Skarsa estimated that the limit of Hina being able to fight on her own while manipulating the coordinated operation of these shadows should be three, right? Even after a lot of training, she has a lot of hearts, and this assassin girl's talent in this area is even better than theirs. Most importantly. In terms of the combat aspects of those shadow masters, the delicate Cheng dù really doesn't look like puppets that are being manipulated.
If it weren't for the spiritual power of human beings, no matter how much exercise and breakthrough. There are also limited words, Skarsa even doubts. This girl, if she develops, may be able to match the combat effectiveness of an army by herself. You can use all kinds of skills of the Ontology Rope in full. At the same time, it is extremely resistant to various attacks, and if the scale and number of these shadow masters can be expanded, it is terrifying to think about.
"Nobody said that an Assassin can't be on the front foot, right? Hiding in the shadows is just to better serve the premise of 'stealth killing' - Assassins only need to kill in this way in most cases, doesn't that mean that they can only kill in this way?"
At present, he is basically the strongest assassin in human society (and at the same time, he has the least mission attendance), and Hina thinks that many people's habitual thinking is really bad enough-as long as they have the heart, in fact, anyone can be an assassin, right? It is as if a warrior and a mage cannot engage in assassination......
Based on Sheena's experience, she found that the definition and impression of an assassin for many people is stuck in a half-crippled image that can only hide in the shadows and wait for the cold gun to be released, and at the same level, the ability to go head-to-head is almost equal to zero.
She thought that these court mages would have some knowledge, but she didn't expect that their understanding of assassins would be so superficial.
“......”
Actually, I think the same way......]
Skasa, who was on the sidelines to Scena and Lilou, expressed a lot of pressure - as a traverser, she wondered if her understanding of "assassins" was even more one-sided than that of the natives here...... After all, after years of experiencing the "spiritual pollution" of various online literature and games, it is already good for her to act as a turret as a mage who does not just understand elemental magic.
Speaking of the first impression of an assassin, shouldn't it be sneaking, backstabbing, kidney blowing, etc.? It's the kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder that doesn't even have a chance to attack head-on, but must go around to the back and stab the chrysanthemum......
"And it's normal for people who are carried away by hatred to become reckless men who only know the front, isn't it?"
- Tell me, where do you look like a madman carried away by hatred!?
Seeing that Hina said such things so shamelessly, the court mage who was the enemy of her was as angry as a pig's liver, which was clearly a deliberate provocation! However, the current situation was that he was suppressed by this girl in all directions, and he was already exhausted just to deal with her fierce attack, so he still had the opportunity to send a threatening counterattack to the other party?
This man, seemingly completely grasping his rhythm, every swift attack. All of them were issued precisely at the point when his situation was weak, and there was hardly any time to buffer him!
Whenever he wanted to fight back. Either they were teased by the speed of the opponent's incomparably swift speed, or they simply did it before the attack was launched. was forced to switch from offense to defense by the opponent's attack. After fighting for a while, it can be said that it was a threatening attack, or it was sent by his own accomplices - but it didn't play any role, and it was blocked by the mysterious shadow warrior summoned by the other party!
When did an assassin possess such a murderous summoning spell?
"You say there's a hatred between us...... When the hell is going on!"
...... If you can know the origin of the other party, maybe you can find a little flaw? This court mage is also very self-aware, knowing that he has really done bad things in his daily life, and he estimates that he is not clear at all, and how many people have hatred for him, if he wants to start from this aspect. You still have to get information from the other party.
"Guess?"
In response to the other party's ill-intentioned question, Hina also had a bright smile.
"You can guess little by little - if you guess wrong once, I'll open a hole in your body, I don't know how many holes you can have in your body when you breathe?
"You ——!?"
"It's stupid to schem in front of a mature assassin, don't you know?"
If she could, Sheena didn't want to talk too much nonsense with this kind of person, but there was no way. Although the other party has been suppressed by himself, but in the final analysis, he has a strong strength, and the kind of dark magic that permeates a powerful evil aura is not for a person like Xina who has no outstanding magic defense. It's a huge threat.
Blindly believing that a mage (regardless of the type of mage) lacks the hole cards at the bottom of the box, and those who think this way are basically dying at the hands of the mage who fights him to the death.
The other party can mix with the status of a court mage. You'll always have a brush or two. Sheena doesn't have any powerful ultimate that destroys the world with destructive power, and there is no guarantee that she will be killed with one hit. Letting the other party show as many flaws as possible is the king, rather than blindly betting on illusory luck.
Because of this. Hina chose to use the power of words to break the other party's fighting spirit little by little, or he became reckless and impulsive - the other party is the type with a strong anger in his heart, and trying to provoke the other party is a good choice.
"A naughty child who makes a mistake, when he tries to lie in front of his elders, has a look in his eyes similar to you, right?"
Shena's attitude towards the yellow-haired child undoubtedly made the other party extremely angry. Maybe the other party's true level does have a little bit of moisture, but after staying in the status of a court mage for a long time, his temper and temperament are really not very good. He was very "obedient" to follow Sheena's expectations, and step into the trap set by Sheena little by little.
"Since you want to die—I'll fulfill you!"
The vain surge of momentum on the other party's body made Hina also restrain the frivolous smile on her face and become solemn. She wasn't very good at magic and didn't have much energy to learn, but that didn't stop her from finding time to understand. In the final analysis, there is also this reason why most of the Assassins appear to be weaker - not only do they need to learn different types of weapons and skills to make themselves "comprehensive", but they also need to learn the strength and knowledge of various types of systems, otherwise, they may not even know what type and level of strength their assassins have.
If you can't even understand some of the principles of magic, then what can you do to assassinate a magician?
And Sheena is the one who makes her peers think she is a monster.
She is not only in terms of combat effectiveness, but also a leader in the assassin industry, and in terms of knowledge level, she is also enough to complete a group of seniors who are much older than her - her body and brain can't be compared, and the age of the opponent is still so young, a group of "seniors" can't feel inferior.
They believed that this terrible fellow would have been one of those outstanding young talents if he had devoted himself to other professions, but they were unlucky, and Sheena chose to become an Assassin, so they were the ones who were hit.
"What is this? This ...... A disgusting aura of darkness?"
Sheena desperately tried to hold back the churning sensation in her stomach. It's not that she hasn't had the experience of being hostile to dark magicians, but. A dark force like this one encountered today that is so wickedly excessive, makes one feel like you are in a slaughterhouse-like suffocating environment. It's the first time I've seen it.
You can rely on your own strength to get out of the shackles of hatred little by little. Hina who tries to abide by the willfulness of her deceased relatives can almost be said to be the one who has completely defeated the negative thoughts in her heart. She said that her resistance and dissatisfaction with this dark power that thrives on negative thoughts are even stronger than those of elves.
Because those are the very things that she has denied and discarded.
And the uncomfortable appearance of Hina is considered by her opponent to be a sign of fear and fear.
- Sure enough, the strength of that adult is reliable!
Seeing that the girl in front of him was "suppressed" by the dark power she had exerted, the court mage's face couldn't help but show a look of self-satisfaction—that's right! As a human being, it is impossible to get rid of the bewitchment and suppression of this dark power from nature!
No matter how powerful she was before. It's not about succumbing to the darkness of your own heart!
"I was able to ...... Oops, things have exceeded expectations!"
When he saw the other party, he was able to release that dangerous dark power in such a large-scale way, and Scarza also realized the strict nature of the problem—this is no longer a process of "borrowing"! Because if the dark existence is still in the "sleep", it will never be able to "lend" such a strong power to them...... This is a clear sign that you have woken up!
It is absolutely impossible to achieve this kind of feather by relying on their strength alone......! Unless it's ...... People with royal blood support them behind the scenes, and even contribute to this aspect......
"What an evil feeling!"
The shock Lilu felt was also extraordinarily strong. The great power of the Elven Tome makes Lilou immune to the interference of this dark power. It also made him feel the dangerous and terrifying power more fully. This kind of power is not only directed against the so-called "evil" and "dark" thoughts, but also those who escape from weakness, blind bigotry, out-of-control anger, etc., all thoughts that can be described as "negative". can be summed up by it.
Not to mention humans, even elves, not all of them are determined people - they may be kind. But if you don't have an iron will, you can't avoid thoughts like cowardice! No one can guarantee that they will not be carried away by anger.
And these thoughts. It is possible that the guide zhì was controlled by this dark force.
Lilu's nature makes it impossible for her to ignore this far-reaching danger and continue to stay in the world of Zài, especially since she doesn't have much time to stay in this world, so she can't turn a blind eye.
It must be ruined!
The ruthless Lilou is much stronger than Sheena in terms of explosiveness - even though it may be a lot worse in terms of skills, but the Elven Sacred Book is enough to give her enough explosive power, and Lilou's fighting skills, in any case, are also trained by Luna herself, and she is by no means a weak person.
Almost instantly, Lilu's figure was directly inserted between the two court mages who were being held back, and her right hand was already dyed with a layer of green, whether it was the speed of body movement or the speed of punching, it broke through the speed of sound in an instant-directly piercing a court mage who was caught off guard, even with a magic shield.
However, Lilou no longer treats these dark mages as normal creatures. For creatures in the ordinary sense, the penetrating punch that can already cause death, Lilu felt that it was far from enough—the next moment, the huge and majestic life energy that was almost boiling no longer appeared in the past, but as if it was burning, it spread into the other party's body.
Lilu originally possessed an extremely rare specialized physique strengthened by the fire element, and her gentle life energy in her hands was more suitable for appearing and using such a violent posture.
With a terrible "hiss" sound, the court mage who was hit through the body by Lilu didn't even have time to scream, and the whole person was evaporated alive.
"Not even a bit of residue remained...... It seems that you are really completely committed to the darkness. Don't want to be a human being?"
In the past, I often heard that the human race was a very dark and deranged race. But the humans she encountered, no matter how you look at it, are very different from that kind of image, and the origin of Aisha and the others is mysterious. Let's not talk about it, but Sheena is definitely a normal ordinary human (many of Sheena's peers disagree). Lilou thought that maybe it was an exaggeration by her clansmen, but in the current situation, perhaps, it was not alarmist.
This is something that only people who do not have a sense of belonging to their own race, who do not have a sense of glory, will do it!
"What are you still doing in a daze? Are you going to die? We've hit a hard stubble today!"
Originally, seeing the movements of the court mage who took the lead, the court mages who were still a little hesitant. Seeing that one person had already been killed neatly, he realized that perhaps the enemy he was facing had not exerted his full strength before. So, under the call and angry scolding of the leader, even though they were still unwilling, they could only choose to take that irreparable step.
"Trouble. ”
The entire dungeon has been eroded by the immense dark power emitted by these five dark mages, whether it is bricks or steel bars, or even materials that have been subjected to anti-magic treatments. All of them fell apart in the face of this burst of dark power. When Skarsa saw this, he knew that something was wrong—although the elven girl's power seemed to be able to completely destroy this dark power. But the dark power held by these people has been fully activated, and it has been completely integrated with their lives. It's not something that can be purified so easily!
"Oh no! if the darkness spreads to the outside......"
Lilu was also a little panicked when she saw this.
She was naturally able to understand what a terrible danger this terrible force could inflict on the humanity of the city. I'm afraid that as long as I touch it, I will be captured in the heart. Lure into the abyss of depravity! Lilou can directly purify this power, but if it is a human whose mind is controlled by it, it is not so simple!
Because it does not distort a person's psychology and thinking, but will lead to those negative thoughts that are not important in the past and are deeply hidden. At the end of the day, these thoughts are in people's hearts.
"Leave it to me! I'm not going to let them spread!"
Anyway, he also made a lot of efforts to seal this troublesome thing back then, and although Skarsa didn't have anything to restrain it, he definitely had more experience in dealing with it than Lilu. Not to eliminate, but to restrain and restrict, she alone, without any problems at all.
Pure magical energy, which was more powerful than the dark power that erupted from the five dark mages, immediately rose from this dungeon, constructing a vast cage of magical power, and firmly binding them in it.
Although this dark power is extremely corrosive, it can completely be used by traditional magicians, and can even devour and infect magic, but where can Skarssa's magic power be compared to ordinary people? The wall of magic that is almost as strong as reinforced concrete makes the dark power that is about to move have no chance to attack at all.
With a glance, Lilu was sure that the life force of the Holy Scriptures she had driven might not be able to form the magic barrier of this magician, and the crystallization of magic that could no doubt be attributed to the concept of "solid" fully illustrated the terrifyingness of the chief mage of the guild.
"Let go and fight—the city-destroying forbidden spell of the city destruction level can't break through this layer of defense, so you don't need to worry about spreading outside. ”
Between the words, the five court mages on the opposite side could no longer see the slightest trace of "human" in their appearance.
What are the characteristics of a human being? Walking upright, with two legs, two eyes and a mouth...... However, the aliens presented in front of them may not even be able to meet these basic conditions.
"This distorted look......"
"Ah, it is the posture that their minds have assimilated, and it is not at all surprising that they have abandoned the glory of humanity and become less human. ”
Even the ooze monsters should be cuter than they are?—— Skasa frowned deeply as he looked at these monsters that seemed to have come out of the Cthulhu mythos. (To be continued......)
