"Whoaaah!"
"Yes, someone invaded! It's an adventurer!"
"Be careful behind you! Marom, prepare to defend against magic!"
"Back off, back off!"
As exclamations appeared one after another, a large number of mysterious men in black suddenly appeared behind the originally quiet trees deep in the jungle ahead. With the magic light reflected in their hands, they then illuminated the entire jungle.
It shone for a moment, and then flew out towards both sides of the intersection with overwhelming attack magic. As if they were aware that the stalemate balance was suddenly broken, the group of imperial soldiers from the far side of the jungle also let out a roar of charge.
, the rumbling and orderly footsteps were like thunderous drumbeats, and they plunged straight into the intertwined magic firepower network: "They retreated! Charge me!"
"Charge! The empire's horn will never stop! The empire's footsteps will never stop!"
"They rushed up to Mr. Faao, we..."
"Ice barrier! Hurry!"
boom!
A deafening sound of impact then appeared in the center of the battlefield that was constantly intertwined with magic fire. Along with the scene of a suddenly formed giant ice wall being smashed into fragments all over the sky, it flew into the dark night sky above the jungle, rushing along with the ice crystal fragments.
The imperial phalanx that came in did not stop there. With the momentum of someone being blown away from time to time, they rushed towards the center of the formation where black-clothed figures kept popping up around them. They put away their own weapons with a serious look on their faces.
In the casting action, the leader of the man in black who had been in charge of the command mentioned by his teammates then raised his hand again, and then used a large piece of dark mist that was deeper than the night at this time, and it seemed that
The completely unstoppable imperial phalanx enveloped them: "Since it cannot be solved head-on..."
"Then let's postpone it for now."
In the scene where countless imperial soldiers whose sight was covered were panicking and falling on their backs, he waved his hand towards the remaining men in black who were still waiting to attack, and then together with his companions guarding this side of the jungle,
Slowly retreating towards the depths of the Gemenan jungle. The uneasy atmosphere began to become duller as they retreated, and from time to time it was mixed with the sound of some black shadows suddenly disappearing from the place.
Kong Xiao, knowing that he had no better choice on his side, then stretched out his hand to wave away the large piece of dark magic in front of him, and at the same time, he sent a warning sound to delay time under the night sky in front: "This time, even if you are
Lucky you, but I must remind you - don't go any further, endless nightmares are waiting for you inside."
"Lord Dax! What should we do with that adventurer?"
"...What should we do? Of course we have to deal with it."
"But……"
In the scene where the black tide consisting of human silhouettes was receding towards the depths of the jungle, the leader in charge of commanding the troops in black suddenly had his eyes swaying back and forth in a certain direction on the right following the reminder of his subordinates.
The figures of several adventurers who suddenly emerged from behind the huge tree trunk were also fighting with their own men who had captured the girl. They seemed to be trying their best to pull the yelling little girl away.
Rescued. He frowned slightly, and the man in black known as Dax paused slightly for a moment in his actions of continuously directing the troops to retreat in an orderly manner. His eyes staring at the players finally followed those players.
The imperial troops gradually approached, slowly converging on a certain sword-wielding player rushing at the front: "So, there is a group of adventurers who want to save their comrades."
"You ruined our good deeds and still want to escape intact?"
Black threads stretched out from his hands one after another, and finally turned into a dark door that shrouded the heads of the team of players: "Just use this door from the abyss..."
"Put the final touch on your adventure."
The thick black aura was like a freezer that had just been opened in a cold storage, suddenly flowing out from the sky above where the team was, and the chaotic black lines, together with the heavy gas falling like a waterfall, pushed the door open heavily, bringing countless people with it.
An incomprehensible horrifying howl enveloped everything there. It was as if a thick layer of black dust had fallen on their bodies. The crowd of people who were enveloped by this strange aura and were indistinguishable from friend to foe then let out a cry.
There was a piercing scream, and then in the purple magic circle gradually woven into the black fog, it disappeared little by little in this space like burning black flames: "It is indeed the legendary restoration.
He does things so ruthlessly..."
"In order to kill the target, do you not even consider the life and death of your own people?"
"...There are actually still people alive."
In the scene where the unbearable pungent smell gradually spread, the black-clothed leader withdrew his hands and cast his increasingly deep gaze on the outside of the gray-black earth wall that suddenly rose behind the magic he had released: "Earth element.
A magician? When did Carlo Village have an earth magician?"
"Unlike a cold-blooded guy like you, the people of Carlo Village always value their companions."
Putting down his raised hands, Linyuan Duanshui looked back with the same serious eyes: "They came here for wealth and status, hoping to pass the trial issued by the adventure group they wanted to join, but just now...
…and you killed them.”
"Trial? Ha."
Amidst the shouts of the approaching imperial guards, Dax Faol, who escorted the last few companions in black away, showed a somewhat disdainful expression: "What do they think this is? A goblin.
The occupied cave? The great undertaking that our Magic Empire is about to complete...when did it become something that adventurers of your level can interfere at will?"
"If you want to gain wealth and status, you have to pay a corresponding price. Life is not worth mentioning in such a price, but you don't seem to have the corresponding awareness." He raised his hands again, and once again put a large number of shares into the market.
A large amount of black light gathered around him: "Now..."
"It's time for you, the fish that slipped through the net, to bear the price."
The black energy turned into a surging current, spurting out in an instant toward the location of the only surviving magician in that direction. The faintly terrifying sound then accompanied the black current as it gradually moved forward, and came from another direction.
The chaotic ripples in a space were mixed together. Taking a step back slightly, Linyuan Duanshui, who had his eyes slightly closed, then used a giant stone pillar erected at his feet to push his submerged figure above the jungle, and then
The moment before the stone pillar was about to be destroyed by the black current, he took out a bottle of white light potion from his arms: "It is indeed not a good choice to deliberately take risks for the sake of wealth and status, and they did make a bad choice.
It’s a choice based on your own ability, but..."
"In order to reward their courage, I should also recover some of their blood debt."
The crisp sound of glass breaking then appeared in the night sky not far from the magician, and accompanied by the sight of the potion bottle being instantly blown into pieces by the dark energy flow, it continued to fly around, and the black liquid that had been rushing forward continued.
However, the light tide began to become transparent as the white light gradually spilled out from the bottle of medicine, and the speed like a volcanic eruption also began to stagnate. The body that lost its support point then fell into the middle of the black stream, named
The magician named Linyuan Duanshui calmly retracted the hands he had raised when he climbed up from the ground. The action of slapping the soil and then slowly raising his arms together stopped the black rushing water that gradually stopped.
The light that condensed into little bits of light spread to both sides of him: "What a beautiful picture."
"You, how did you..."
Amidst the rumbling sounds as the imperial soldiers rushed over and surrounded the two people confronting each other, the man in black named Dax Fao looked at the magician Shi Shiran standing in front of him with shocked eyes.
Action: "How can you neutralize the energy of the void?"
"I am not only a magician, but also an alchemist."
Ignoring the warnings from the Empire people that kept ringing around him, Lin Yuanshui stroked his chest and made a courtesy unique to the Mages Council: "And... rather than saying that being a magician is my profession, it would be better to say that being an alchemist is my profession.
"
"Alchemist?"
"Although I have stayed in Carlo Village for such a long time, I haven't done anything."
Taking out a bottle of white potion again, the originally smiling voice of the magician named Linyuan Duanshui slowly deepened: "I have studied this version for a long time and finally understood this version...
...No, it is the original meaning of magic and energy in this world."
"Since the void is the end of all magic, then magic should always have its beginning." He grinned and pointed at his surroundings: "Energy, breath, various elements...
This world cannot have an end and no beginning, and the void cannot swallow everything in this world without limit, so I did some research on the origin of magic theory, and then formulated this."
"A bottle of powerful magic potion."
As if he was making the other party happy, he announced the name of the potion and blinked his eyes: "Don't look at me with that look. It is really a bottle of powerful magic potion. Take its magic."
The master will obtain a large amount of magic elements in a short period of time, and then cast an unexpected high-level magic..."
"Stop joking!" He interrupted the other party with all his strength, and the leader in black opened his ferocious eyes: "How can a bottle of magic potion neutralize the void?"
"Probably because my bottle of magic potion works differently from ordinary magic potions." Linyuan Duanshui smiled and tilted his head: "Other magic potions rely on the preparation of artificially stored magic energy and the use of potions.
Methods fix the energy, and this bottle of magic potion of mine relies on crystallizing the elemental energy in the air, and then forming a door to the original world of the elements."
"How is it possible? There is no so-called elemental world in this world!" Dax made a hysterical voice: "We are descendants of the Magic Empire. Even the records left by the Magic Empire have never mentioned this.
Plant something!”
"You have already discovered the void world, what will happen if we discover one more world?"
Crooking his fingers, Linyuan Duanshui smiled and shook his head: "Okay, maybe you will be more familiar with another name of that world, it is called..."
"The Ring of Destiny."
The deep night sky became darker as the magician spat out these words, and then turned into a howling wind formed by black energy flows. The black storm that covered the sky and the sun would then surround all the empires here.
The soldier was swaying around while blowing, and at the same time, the laughter gradually coming out of the black-clothed leader was spread to the surrounding jungle: "Humph, hum hehe, hahahahaha!"
"I see, you are a child of destiny."
The black wind turned into a substantial tornado, completely covering the gradually surrounding body of the black-clothed leader, leaving only a pair of deep eyes staring at Linyuan Duanshui's face, as if
Remembering the appearance of this adventurer at this moment: "I didn't expect that a new child of destiny would be born in such a short time, but..."
"It doesn't matter, you are about to fall into the endless abyss." His voice gradually became ethereal, and finally roared toward the night sky along with the black tornado: "Just like the person before.
"
"...So it's said that adventurers are immortal."
Shaking his head muttering to himself, Linyuan Duanshui raised the white potion bottle in his hand again: "And... with so many people present, are you so sure that you can escape?"
"Want to rely on that bottle of potion to limit my void magic? If you have the ability, try it." The arrogant smile appeared again in the voice that left quickly: "I can guarantee..."
"The results will surprise you."
Instead of just throwing out the bottle of potion, the magician who stood quietly watched the black wind fly into the distance of the night sky that could not be distinguished, and then the imperial soldiers around him gradually got up from the ground.
Amidst the cry of pain, a long sigh was slightly released. The atmosphere that gradually became quiet then returned to the depths of the jungle where no one was bothered. For a while, only the clanking sound of armors clashing echoed in everyone's ears.
In the ear, the Imperial Captain from the Iwakuma Army staggered forward and met the magician standing there: "Um... who are you?"
"We have met before." Linyuan Duanshui, who did not raise his head, replied in a low voice: "Sir, you are a noble man who forgets things a lot, and you probably can't remember them now."
"Then...that guy just now?"
"Don't worry about him, he should have already..."
call--
A heavy sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded at the edge of the intersection where a few people were, and instantly passed through the air between Linyuan Duanshui and the Imperial Captain. The strong wind driven by the huge force then swept away the few people present who were just trying to get closer.
The imperial soldiers were blown to the side, and at the same time, there were loud warnings one after another: "Enemy, enemy attack!"
"Captain! Captain! Someone attacked the captain!"
"Where is the magician? Why is he missing?"
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Catch him!"
The wind that gradually became noisy drove the swaying trees around, and slowly sent the team of imperial soldiers who were in a hurry due to the attack on their captain to the far side of the jungle, but no matter how they searched and shouted back and forth, they could not stop.
The magician who was the suspected murderer could not be found. (To be continued)
