Chapter 21: The Last Lesson of the Art Teacher(1/2)
Chapter 21 The Magic Instructor’s Last Lesson
Along the Hanshui River, the ice wind howled and snowflakes rolled in.
The field of view is quite poor. You can only vaguely see a figure beyond a hundred meters.
Snowflakes kept exploding in the thick snow on the ice of Hanshui River, and living corpses crawled out one after another.
These living corpses all have one characteristic in common.
His head and face were covered with wet mud, and his eyes were burning with two gray-white flames. He was wearing ragged clothes covered in mud. His exposed skin was gray-white, but the muscle lines under his skin were quite plump.
This shows that the body is very young and fresh.
After seeing the appearance of the living corpse, Lilith was shocked: "Cyrus, you actually massacred unarmed civilians in the mountain village!"
Cyrus laughed.
"They are all ignorant fools. They only waste food in their lives. They might as well be used by me, which also gives their shallow lives some meaning."
He did not deny the accusation of massacre, and even looked indifferent, as if what he was killing was not people, but cattle and sheep.
At this time, even Xia Bolay was shocked: "Sellers, you are really a madman!"
"A crazy person will be a crazy person."
"My slaves, all stand up!"
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!'
Living corpses crawled out of the snow one by one, and there were quite a few of them, at least 30 of them visible to the naked eye.
After the corpse crawled out, it did not attack immediately, but quickly ran towards Cyrus and surrounded him.
Naturally, Xia Bolai would not just sit back and watch. Seeing a living corpse running past him, he suddenly drew his sword, and with a clear sound of "Clang~", the sword flashed like lightning and split the living corpse into two halves.
Changes occur suddenly!
'boom!'
The broken corpse exploded violently, and black blood sputtered in all directions at high speed. Before it hit the ground, the black blood spontaneously ignited without fire and turned into gray-white flames.
Necromancy. Blood explosion!
One of the Necromancer's most terrifying tricks.
The necromancer only needs to spend a little mana to activate all the vitality remaining in the corpse.
When this power explodes in an instant, it can produce terrifying lethality a hundred times greater than the mana it consumes.
Chabollet was the first to bear the brunt.
Faced with the strange flames that were attacking indiscriminately, he did not dare to be careless at all. He instantly put away his sword to protect himself, while his body shrank into a ball, and a layer of silvery white light appeared on the surface of his body.
But it is Silver Moon Castle's secret defense skill: Full Moon Qinghui.
The next moment, gray flames rushed up and hit the silver streamer.
‘Hiss, hiss~~’
The gray flames and silver streamers clashed violently, evaporating a thick white mist and making a sound similar to sulfuric acid corroding limestone.
The burning momentum of the flames is rapidly weakening, but the silver streamer is basically intact, showing the powerful power of the high-level warrior.
But it's not just the blood explosion that's scary, but also the consequences of the blood explosion.
‘Click~Click~Clatter~’
This is the surface of a cold river. The ice and snow on the surface have melted, revealing a large area of rushing river water.
Chapollet had no support underneath him, his footing was unstable, and he was about to fall into the water.
Falling into the water itself poses no threat to Charbolai, but his inability to move in the water makes him a target for spells.
If another batch of living corpses jumped into the hole and exploded with blood around him, would he still be alive?
At the critical moment, Xia Bolai let out a loud roar, and the silver glow on his body rose sharply, especially the feet, which were the brightest, and then stepped on the water continuously.
"Puff~Puff~Puff~" sounded three times, and huge water splashes exploded on the water surface.
Taking advantage of this shock, Chabolai's short and fat body actually ran forward three steps on the water, and he was about to escape from this terrible ice hole.
‘Boom boom boom~’
The snow where it fell in front of me suddenly exploded with blood again.
The bursting gray fire not only almost broke through Xia Bolay's defense, but also expanded the scope of the ice cave five or six times!
Xia Bolay was shocked: "There are actually living corpses buried in the snow!"
He finally realized that the river was the main battlefield carefully arranged by the opponent, and he might not be able to win by force.
Not daring to stay on the river anymore, he roared, silver light shone, water splashed, his short and fat body turned around again on the water, and ran towards the river bank with all his strength.
There were no surprises this time.
When he stepped on solid ground again, Xia Bolay was secretly relieved.
The confrontation between the two sounds complicated, but in reality it was extremely short, lasting only three breaths.
In a short period of time, he actually consumed 30% of his strength!
After returning to the shore, Chabolai looked at Cyrus on the river with vigilance, slowly retreated towards Rosen, and soon joined the two men.
He asked: "Why are you here?"
"There is a living corpse, dressed as Cyrus, who came to the hotel to attack us. We don't dare to stay longer, so we can only come to you."
Lilith answered.
When Xia Bolay heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched twice. When he looked at Cyrus again, there was no more contempt in his eyes.
"Thief, you are quite calculating!"
On the river, Cyrus stood calmly.
Around him, a large group of living corpses formed a circle, guarding him in the middle like the most loyal guards in the world.
His eyes burning with gray-white flames looked at the three people on the riverside one by one, and finally settled on Rosen's face.
"Rosen, my good apprentice, your mentor will teach you the last spell lesson today!"
Following his words, 20 living corpses began to move and walked towards the three of them in a semicircle formation.
"Listen up little one."
"As a mage, when facing a battle that cannot be escaped, you must carefully arrange the battlefield. Try your best to maximize your own advantages, and at the same time try your best to weaken the enemy's advantages."
The living corpse began to run on the ice, faster and faster, running faster and faster, actually far exceeding the running speed of ordinary people.
It's not even much different than Lilith in her normal form.
‘Brush~’
Lilith transformed into the Spider Messenger without hesitation.
"The other side has set up a trap for us to escape. We will definitely not be able to defeat it. Let's run!"
As she said that, she didn't care much, turned around and ran towards the town.
But after running a few steps, she stopped.
Because in the direction behind them, there were actually more than 40 young living corpses appearing, blocking the escape route of the three of them.
Lilith's body trembled uncontrollably, and her voice also trembled.
"Why are there so many corpses? They are all young people. This is at least the number of people in two villages."
An ordinary mountain village in the north has only a hundred people in total. To recruit more than 80 young people, one village is not enough.
Chabolai said nothing, but raised his hand to pull Rosen behind him.
Cyrus's voice came with the cold wind.
"Hehehe, actually there are three."
"Rosen, fight number two!"
"Never let your opponent see your cards clearly, because the unknown brings fear, and fear will make people lose the courage to fight. Therefore, fear is the mage's best helper."
Seeing that the living corpses were approaching and the battle was inevitable, Xia Bolay said softly: "We will break out separately later. I will take Rosen to the south, and you will go to the east."
If he was alone, he would fight to the end, but now there is Rosen to protect, so the only option is to retreat first.
"Okay." Lilith nodded.
"The black blood when these living corpses explode is very terrifying. You must not resist forcefully!"
Cyrus' Blood Explosion Technique is much stronger than ordinary Blood Explosion. It has the double blow of fire and undead, and its intensity has reached the peak of low-level.
And because it was a full-force blow that exhausted the vitality of the corpse, it was equivalent to releasing a dozen low-level peak ash missiles at the same time, and the power was very terrifying.
In the brief confrontation just now, he resisted several blood blasts and consumed a lot of strength.
And he is a high-level warrior. If Lilith were to be a low-level warrior, she would definitely be killed on the spot!
