A few minutes later, deep in the cave, a figure slowly emerged from the waveless water. He looked warily around the dry passage, and approached the edge of the stone door with silent steps: "This is it."
"After searching so many places... I only found this place now." Another voice emerged from the water and responded in a lower voice: "If they really belonged to the same team, they should have received the death message by now."
"I told you to trust my tracking skills, but you just didn't listen." The third voice that appeared was full of disdain: "Let me lead the way earlier, we would have found them long ago."
"If I hadn't believed your evil deeds, we wouldn't have caught up so late!" A fourth retort voice immediately appeared in the team: "I don't know what we were thinking before, but we actually ran to Hongshui in the end.
The riverside swayed in a big circle..."
"Okay, okay, stop wrangling."
The last person to emerge from the water was a magician wearing a black robe. He hunched his body and looked at the passage ahead that was opened due to the knocking down of the stone door: "...are they inside?"
"It looks like he's not here." The player at the front who was responsible for the team's reconnaissance and security work turned back: "The room inside is not big, and there doesn't seem to be any place to hide..."
"So we lost track of you again... right?" The black-robed magician holding a pointed staff let out a long sigh, and then focused his attention on the people around him again: "That's all, it's getting late anyway.
, they probably won’t just go back like this, let’s just rest here and then start looking for them again.”
"If the two of them are really like the legend, I think it will be difficult for us to find them again." The previously pessimistic player said again: "Now that they are alert, they want to find themselves in such ruins that extend in all directions.
Find them..."
"They are not gods. They can predict the terrain of this place in advance and where to escape... It is fair to both parties." The teammates next to them immediately reprimanded: "Not to mention the level of that woman Xue Ling Huan Bing.
It’s not like we don’t know that she can’t have the professional level as rumored! If it weren’t for the extraordinary performance of those old guys in the previous UEFA Cup and their good luck, they wouldn’t have been able to go so far!”
"I don't care about the situation in the UEFA Cup. After all, their final results were much better than ours, but that woman dared to come to our territory alone... It's enough to explain a lot of problems." The player who looked like a magician said in a low voice.
: "This time... it can be regarded as a lesson to her, so that she won't do whatever she wants in the future. If you can't even defeat her..."
"We can go home."
The player responsible for tracking hurriedly raised his hand: "There is no need to emphasize it so many times. We still understand such a simple truth, but this time we were the ones who picked the first one, and we had already killed three of them. In the end, we failed.
Finding them… shouldn’t be too much, right?”
"And by the way, we discovered such a large ruins." The player standing next to the magician played with the dagger in his hand: "Even if we can't find them, we will explore this place, and the final harvest will be great...
…”
"Yes, yes, that's why I didn't bring you here in the first place. You see, it's a dead end. Wouldn't it be better for us to explore somewhere else and find a bunch of treasures and go back to do business?"
"With those three heads, we should be able to communicate. Presumably the regicide... shouldn't be so unkind, right?"
"You...seem to have forgotten our original intention."
A powerful aura gradually appeared on the magician, gradually suppressing the voices of several players discussing with each other: "Whether it is killing opponents, ruling the city, or contacting the restorers, entering the power center of the Free City... these
They are just inferior methods, methods that only the weak will use. If you want to stand firm in this world, only your own power is the eternal thing. And if you want to prove that you are stronger than others, the only way
The only way... is to defeat them."
"You are here this time to prove this." He paused the staff in his hand and looked around his teammates: "You can't even defeat the lone Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, let alone
They are the starting lineup of Devil’s Paradise, and you don’t even want to stay with this team anymore.”
It seemed that they sensed the seriousness in the boss's tone. None of the players made any jokes about these words again. Instead, after a period of rest, they entered the room in front of them one by one: "...
…It’s a conference room.”
"This arrangement... is really crude."
"Everything is almost broken. It's really a bit old..."
"Look here, there are signs of movement here... They must have been here."
After carefully checking all the layout of this room, the well-organized five-person team quickly squeezed out all the clues and values here. After failing to find the target, they finally came to the same conclusion as Duan Qing.
Conclusion: "...Is this the only room? It seems to be a dead end."
"In other words... they left here before we found the fork in the road?"
"It only took a few minutes from the time we killed those three people to the time we arrived at the intersection... Well, the reaction of those two people seemed to be faster than we thought."
"Of course, it may also be because they went to places we didn't expect..."
After reluctantly checking again whether there were secret doors, mechanisms, etc., the five-man team finally gave up on the idea of staying here, and then, driven by the goal, began to retreat along the road they came from. The person responsible for tracking
The player was still unwilling to check the traces in the room, trying to guess what happened in the room before. Near the entrance of the water-logged passage, the investigator responsible for opening the way had already jumped down the dark
In the sea: "You guys play slowly...I'll take the first step."
"It really doesn't look like what a ruins should look like, there are no treasures..." The second player also slowly submerged into the water: "They searched so fast, how could they escape before we arrived?
"
"Judging from the traces, those two people must have taken something." The player who claimed to have strong tracking ability looked back at the dim room: "But apart from the few pirate flags marked with names, there seems to be nothing in this place.
What a priceless thing..."
"That's because you have no vision."
Above the head of the man who was about to submerge in the water, a voice answered his question from top to bottom: "Or..."
"You are not qualified to see through the secret at all."
The cold light brought by the sharp sword was like a straight line, deeply cutting the dark water surface, and at the same time, it cut the unsuspecting third player's body into two halves along with the water surface. There was no resistance.
The player didn't even scream, but turned into a white light in the sword light. The assassin who had been guarding the magician at the back immediately took out his dark yellow sword.
The dagger: "You...are still hiding here!"
"It's one thing to feel someone, but it's another thing to feel someone somewhere." Duan Qing, who was standing on one hand, appeared from the darkness above the passage, and then somersaulted down: "Although there is only a difference of two
words, but..."
"The level of the two is quite different."
The black dagger and the dark yellow dagger collided in the air, creating an extremely dazzling spark, and ended with Duan Qing retreating. The assassin player who blocked the opponent also stayed behind the magician's side.
In front of him, the black-robed mage who had been staring closely at Duan Qing said nothing, and his eyes were constantly patrolling back and forth between the top of the passage and the water. Duan Qing, who turned over and landed at the foot of the stone gate slope, was the first to shout: "You
Guard the other end and don't let those two people come back!"
"……good."
The woman's response in the darkness lowered Mephisto's mood again, but looking at the opponent in front of him, the smile on his face gradually spread: "Moshang Qingshan... Are you so confident?
, can we fight one against two?"
"Without two brushes, how dare you lead people to break into the Free City?" Duan Qing took out the stone hammer behind him with his backhand: "But you, the black-hearted leader... didn't swallow that legendary dagger this time?"
"Baili Duyou is an outstanding assassin, and he is also the adventurer favored by King Slayer Garo." Mephisto, dressed in black robes, chuckled a few times: "Giving this dagger to him can be regarded as a gift.
Well deserved.”
"Wandering a hundred miles alone..." Duan Qing's eyes turned around the assassin whose face he couldn't see: "This name sounds familiar..."
"The mentality of being lucky can't save you now." The magician frowned his eyebrows, then took a step forward and stood in front of the assassin: "Otherwise...the three guys before will be you now.
The fate of."
"That is to say... you also followed us all the way?" Duan Qing lowered his head: "What is your purpose?"
"Stop being pretentious. Since you have been hiding above our heads for a long time, what we said before...you two must have heard it, right?"
Raising the staff in his hand, Mephisto let out an unpleasant chuckle: "I won't tell you anyway, just treat it as a betting battle. As for our mutual bets...
"
"Whoever loses, how about giving up this ruins?"
"...very fair."
Staring closely at the two people in front of him, Duan Qing nodded slightly: "As expected of the vice president of a large guild..."
"I have practiced very well in transforming problems."
The figure at one end of the passage suddenly disappeared in front of the water, and then appeared next to the assassin with another loud metal collision. Then the assassin did not make a block move, but stabbed with all his strength.
On Duan Qing's chest, Duan Qing, who rushed there on his own initiative, had to raise his weapon and changed from an offensive action to a parrying posture. The player wielding the dark gold dagger did not hesitate at all, and instantly fired an invisible
Power was added to Duan Qing: "Death Gaze——"
"Shadowless Slash!"
There was a roar in the air like a bullet passing by, and it slashed from top to bottom onto the stone ground. Duan Qing, who did not dare to block the blow, had to dodge backwards in advance. Due to the rapid slash before
The assassin who crouched down after the attack did not hesitate at all. His body jumped up like a spring. The dagger in his hand turned into a faster golden light and stabbed towards Duan Qing's position. Duan Qing's body trembled slightly as he climbed up in a hurry.
He twisted around and missed the black shadow's fatal blow by a hair's breadth. However, a black light immediately enveloped his body, making his movement to distance him even slower.
, he turned around, his eyes turned around the black-robed magician, and then while raising his stone hammer, he felt an even more obscure sense of heaviness.
"This is..." So he had to turn around and barely blocked the next attack from the assassin in front of him: "Forbidden magic?"
"The scientific name is magic isolation."
Slowly putting down his staff, Mephisto smiled and replied: "It was originally prepared for the Snow Spirit Magic Ice, but I didn't expect it to be used on you in the end..."
"..."
"What, you still don't want to come down?"
Looking at the deep darkness above the cave that still had no response, Mephisto shook his head helplessly: "50% damage bonus, and 60% ignore defense effect... No one can guarantee themselves in such a situation
You will not be sent back to your hometown by Brother Baili's blow. In order to prevent being killed, you tried your best to avoid it. Unfortunately, in order to ensure his lethality, the guild specially assigned him to my name..."
He waved his hand and cast another negative state on Duan Qing: "Now you...should be able to understand the reason for this, right?"
"Torturing the Liujia assassin... is indeed a good cooperation." Duan Qing, who was still dealing with the opponent with all his strength, replied in a low voice: "Unfortunately... parrying is not a defense, but an attack judgment, so no matter how powerful it is,
, as long as the skills are not up to par...your assassins will not be able to touch me at all."
"Well...it's up to me to take action now."
Looking at the other party deeply, Mephisto raised his pointed staff again: "This is the scepter of judgment that you sold to me... You should still remember its effect, right?"
"Cause a percentage of damage to the target equal to the character's highest attribute value. For each magical effect on the target, the damage ratio will be increased by 10%." Duan Qing replied without looking back: "A type of weapon specially designed to deal with magicians.
Where are the weapons?"
"Unfortunately, your understanding of magic is not perfect yet."
There was a faint light on the pointed staff head, and Mephisto shook his head at Duan Qing: "Maybe for a magician who likes to add protective magic to himself, your understanding is not a problem, but you don't know
The thing is...the negative effects I cast on you before were all magic effects."
"……What?"
"Your strength must have exceeded thirty points, right?" Mephisto laughed loudly: "As long as we gather seven more...slowness techniques!"
"Debilitating Technique!"
"Magical blessing!"
"You also give me the buffs I rely on?"
"You don't need it anyway, so why not give it to you...magic binding!"
Among the magic chains that suddenly appeared around him, Mephisto, who was laughing, pointed the light on his staff at Duan Qing, and then shot out the glimmer of light before the ice and snow sword energy above reached the battlefield: "Yes.
Say goodbye to this ruin—"
"Light of Judgment!"
