Chapter 15: You're Coming After Me

When Diarlando heard the commotion, he immediately stuck his head out of the second-floor window to look out. The rain was still falling, and the farther places were all shrouded in a dense curtain of water, and it was impossible to see what was really happening. He had no choice but to climb out of the window and go up to the roof to see if he could see better if he stood tall.

In the shops on both sides of the street, many people heard the sound and came out to look at the rain shelter. But after seeing the headless and brainless tourists who fled for their lives, they also joined the fleeing team.

Dearlando bowed his head and said to Fayer, who was standing by the window, "I'll take a look, you're ready to answer." Then he jumped onto the roof of the building on the other side and rushed in the direction from which the noise was coming from.

After running for about half a street and jumping onto the roof of a small three-story building, Diarrando finally saw the source of his panic.

In front of you is an auditorium, and in the small square at the entrance there is a beautifully manicured fountain decorated with statues of maidens and dragons. Now the water in the fountain is two stories high, and it is constantly churning and dancing as if it has come to life, gushing out a large amount of white foam.

The floats of the procession were almost all parked at the entrance of the auditorium, and it seemed that the rain had suddenly hit, and all the candidate girls were placed here to take shelter from the rain. But at this moment, all the beautifully decorated floats were smashed into a mess, and the doors and windows of the auditorium were all smashed.

Diarrando saw Zoya's figure appear at the door of the auditorium, next to the frightened mayor, shaking on a pillar. The people around here had almost fled, and it was empty below, so he immediately jumped down and ran towards Zoya.

There were many people lying in the auditorium, all moaning in pain. It is estimated that those who can still move have already fled far away.

"What's going on?" Dearlando asked Zoya as he looked around.

"We were sheltering from the rain when suddenly there were several huge currents that broke the doors and windows and knocked everyone against the walls. When the water receded, the maidens were gone. I saw what seemed to be swept up in the water and then suddenly disappeared. Zoya was wet, and a curtain had been torn off by Radhar over her shoulders.

Her red hair was wet and sticking to her face at the moment, dripping constantly, and her face was a little pale, but she was still calm enough to answer Diarlando's question.

The mayor was still in shock, limp over there, and his mouth was muttering: "Water monster...... Monster. ”

"What about our people?" Diarrando looked around, and only Radar was in the circus. He was dragging out the people who were crushed by the furniture, one by one neatly arranged.

Zoya sighed bitterly: "Just now only Achille and Luna came here with me to take shelter from the rain, and Luna was also swept away by the water. As soon as Achille found out, he rushed to the fountain outside, attacked the fountain with his magic, and swallowed it as well...... The others must have been in the back building, probably now fleeing, right? Radar had been sheltering from the rain under the eaves of the next room, and his bear had been swallowed by the strange water. ”

"Oh no!" said Deirlando, who immediately lowered his head and began to search for Achille's or Luna's life pulse. The heavy rain in the sky interfered with the dragon's perception even more, and now not only was the ground densely packed with energy points of light, but even the sky was full of it, and even with the resonance of the contractor, Achille and Luna could not be found for a while.

There was the sound of horses' hooves outside, and it turned out that Fayle had arrived. He glanced coldly at the tragic situation around him, and then asked, "Shall we evacuate?"

"No! Achille and Luna were swallowed by the spring. Diarrando refused, he looked at the still tumbling spring and said, "I'm going to re-enter it and see if I can find anyone else, and you have to find a way to draw its attention away from the city." ”

"What?" said Fayle, too, frowning. Although he didn't care about the people in this city at all, Achille was a sensible and diligent young man, and he was also a little talented in magic. It didn't take long for me to be an apprentice, so I gave it to the monster, but I was a little unhappy.

"They're not dead?" Fayle pulled out his bronze bone staff, and began to figure out what magic he would use to clean up the monster.

"Probably not, I can't see them, but my contractual connection with them is no different, so I should be free to die. Dearrando drew his sword as well. He was originally equipped with a sword that could be bought in the most ordinary blacksmith shop, but when he pulled it out at this moment, it turned into the white magic sword he carried with him.

He shook his sword, and with a flash of light, it took the shape of a spear. "I think you should step back as far back as you can, away from the window. Dearlando admonished both Zoya and Radar, then rushed out of the auditorium, ran to the other side of the street, and threw his spear at the gushing fountain.

With a white spear that glows brightly throughout, Deirlandor activates the magic on his weapon for the first time in order to attract the attention of an unknown monster who loves magic.

The spear sank into the spring, and immediately it seemed to be piercing into some viscous semi-solid, and the speed became slower and slower, and Zuihou was forced to stop. Through the twisted water, it looked like the thing was about to wring the spear off.

But then the spear erupted with a strong light, and the huge body of water immediately seemed to have evaporated by something. Above the fountain, there was a spherical space about fifty feet in diameter, and all water, including rainwater, disappeared in an instant.

Dearlando raised his hand, and the white sand of light gathered at his fingertips, condensing into the shape of a spear. The rain suddenly stopped, and the water on the ground flowed strangely in the direction of the fountain pool. A strange gurgling sound sounded from underground, and the ground suddenly appeared with a rush of air towards the fountain. Even Fayle, who was standing far away, was affected, and his damp robe was actually sucked up and floated.

"Wow~ It seems to be a big scene. Deirlandor smacked his tongue on the roof and sighed, then waved Fayle to hurry away and lay the bait along the way.

Fayle threw fire trap after flame trap along the street, small magic charms that were faint circular markings on the stone slabs, but when something stepped on them, it formed a pillar of fire five feet high and three feet thick, lasting about a minute. Subjects entangled in pillars of fire will not be able to move for this minute.

By the time Fayer had been out for about ten minutes, the air currents and the strange sounds of the ground had come to an abrupt halt. Dearlando watched the fountain warily, beware of the water monster, but the enemy did not emerge from the fountain as expected.

Five huge currents of water suddenly burst through the ground, piercing through the floor and roof of the building, striking him from front to back, from side to side. Dearlando reacted quickly and swooped out between the two columns of water, then turned in mid-air and rushed towards Fayle's first magic trap.

The spear turned into a shield in his hand, blocking the ground from time to time with tiny jets of water popping up. The larger currents of water twisted into a stream in the air, and then roared like a giant basilisk and pounced on Deirandor.

After careful calculations, Diarrando controlled the route just right, allowing the swooping water snake to hit the flame trap. The bright crimson pillar of fire suddenly enveloped the flow of water, and it was high and high. But the water column immediately divided into a new group and continued to pursue Dierlando, without slowing down in the slightest.

Dearlando didn't look behind him, just kept using the terrain to jump around buildings and the ground to avoid the attack of the water. At every opportunity, the water flow is channeled to the ground Fayer's trap, and every time the water column is trapped by the flame trap, a part of it will be evaporated. Although it was only a tiny part of the monster's huge body, it had a very good effect on angering the monster.

Gradually, the transparent water column turned red, and it seemed that the main part of the monster was drawn out. Diarrando shouted at Fayer in the distance, "Take it out of the wall at four o'clock in front of you, there are no humans over there for the time being!"

When Fayer heard this, he immediately turned over and dismounted, slapped the horse on the buttocks and drove the horse away, and he himself used the levitation technique to go to the top of the wall. He pulled out a short-range teleportation scroll and targeted his carriage, ready to flee for his life. Then he thought about it for a moment, took out another box and bottle, and pinched it in his hand as well.

Seeing Fayir's figure, Diarrando waved his hand, and after leading the water monster to step on a trap for Zuihou, he took the initiative to jump into the crimson water.

After finally successfully swallowing the first target, the snake-like column of water immediately rose up and aimed at Fayer, who was standing on the wall.

Fayl immediately used the levitation technique to control and jumped off the wall, cast an acceleration spell on himself, and ran wildly with his robe. Outside the walls of the city was a forest that was not too dense, and the ground in the forest was slippery at the moment, making it very difficult to run, but in order to get a little farther, Fayle still used all his strength to run.

Not far ahead, there was another river, smaller than the others, but strong enough to stop Fayle from fleeing. The red column of water pierced through the city wall directly, and then smashed countless trees along the way to chase after it, and it seemed that he would not stop until he achieved his goal.

Fayer rushed to the river, and if he wanted to cross the river, he had to go a long way, and behind him was a roaring jet of water, and even worse, the river in front of him began to churn and rise, as if he was planning to strike back and forth.

The mage's face was slightly sweaty from the violent running, but his expression was still calm. He quickly opened the box in his hand, crushed the contents, and then poured the bottle of potion again, hurriedly chanting the incantation, and stirring it with his fingers.

The water in front of and behind him spread out, forming a net cover, as if afraid that he would escape through the gap, and covered him overwhelmingly. The moment Fayer burned the teleportation scroll, he raised his hand and threw the box into the water curtain.
