Chapter 40: The Sisters' Choice
Although the existence of the undead is not common in the Yara world, adventurers who have visited and left various places or ruins that are rarely visited have seen it several times. The best one to deal with is the skeleton, the most troublesome one is the ghost, the most difficult to defend against is the death knight, and the strongest attack power is the corpse witch.
As long as there is no skeleton lord, two or three skeletons alone, a few strong ordinary people can solve the problem. The solution is very simple. Swing a heavy weapon to directly smash the skeleton's skull, or use a piercing weapon to penetrate the skeleton's eye socket. In short, the soul fire that is under the protection of the skull will be damaged, and the skeleton will naturally return to death. However, once the number of skeletons reaches a certain scale, the difficulty of coping will increase by square numbers. Even the existence at the bottom of the undead can cause high-level creatures to be injured or even die.
The speed and defense of ordinary skeletons are close to that of ordinary people. Their comprehensive strength is at most equivalent to that of two ordinary people, but their attack power is far higher than that of ordinary people, and is located between the bronze and black iron levels. If the attack power of this level is used up, it can still cause shallow injuries to the unprepared golden-level profession. When there are too many, it can completely dismantle a high-level profession who is exhausted and trapped in a siege. As for the spell casting profession whose strength should be reduced by one to two levels for reference, it will be even more threatening.
"The current situation is our fault." Vivian finally handled all the magic circles and started to guide and activate the magic circles, and still had time to chat with the maid sisters: "The undead also poses a great threat to us, so you two don't have to think that you are a drag. There is no big difference between you, just find a way to overcome the difficulties together. They will come in a few minutes. At that time, I need to guide the magic, so you should try to protect yourself."
"Will we die?" Pansy asked timidly, biting her lower lip.
"Who knows." Vivian's eyes were a little weird, and she said with a smile on her lips: "I hope everyone can survive. Don't you still want to leave the City of Innocence and live a peaceful life outside? I'll give you a little tip. It's not difficult to live a peaceful life outside, but the first thing you have to defeat is yourself. Maybe you don't understand, but sooner or later you will understand, the premise is that you can survive today. Okay, the huge screen will open and the performance begins."
The maids turned around and found that the skeletons had slowly surged to a few steps away, and a large number of skeletons stepped on the magic circle that Vivian had engraved before. But Vivian did not activate any magic, or Vivian had closed his eyes and opened his arms to both sides. He looked completely unprepared, with only two lips telling him to squirm, and the silent spell chanted as the lips flew.
The sea of skeletons approached slowly step by step, and the maid sister's face became increasingly ugly. Looking back, Catherine was trying her best to restrain the attention of the giant metal puppet. The two sisters looked at each other. At this time, if they used ropes to climb the drain, they would take advantage of the opportunity of Catherine and Vivian to block the attacks on both sides and run away. It might be very likely that they would avoid the blocking of the metal puppet, and then throw away the pursuit of the sea of skeletons to escape smoothly.
The two sisters who share the same mind constantly exchange opinions in the air with their eyes, and flee. Or not? Escape is the reaction that people in a sinless city should have. No one is trustworthy. Only one can rely on between life and death. In order to survive, they can abandon everything, because waiting for death by someone else is the stupidest behavior. This is the sinless city. These are the thinking of the sinless city.
But, what does her last sentence mean? The two sisters didn't understand it very well. First of all, they had to defeat themselves? She seemed to have seen something before she spoke. Is this warning herself? No. Maybe it was more of a reminder or reminder? How to defeat herself? Why defeat herself? What did she defeat herself?
The exchange of eyes seemed to be a little insufficient. The sea of skeletons was getting closer and closer, and the expressions on the faces of the two sisters became more and more anxious. The opportunity for escape was fleeting, and if you didn't make a decision, you didn't have to make any decisions. The two sisters subconsciously retreated under their feet. The habits and reason they developed usually controlled the two young girls to retreat timidly. But suddenly, the short-haired mimosa grabbed her sister's arm and her voice was suppressed to the lowest point: "Go, sister, the only chance is impossible to have it again in the future."
Although he was speechless, Pansy instantly understood her sister's intentions, gritted her teeth hard, and grabbed her sister's hand with her back: "Then let's bet."
The sea of skeletons finally approached Vivian's position. The skeletons in the front row had already waved various civilian knives in their hands and launched an attack on Vivian. Fortunately, Vivian had already started the magic shield in advance. Various weapons left ripples on Vivian's magic shield, but they did not hurt Vivian's body. However, more and more knives were chopping Vivian, and the distance between the skeletons was getting closer and closer. If they were allowed to surge like this, they would probably push Vivian down or even step on it seriously with just thrust and self-weight.
The two sisters who were determined suddenly waved their hands and tore open the seam lines on the side of the maid's outfit. They took out a long and narrow dagger from the outside of their thighs. They held two daggers in both hands, and pressed against Vivian with fierce and violent faces, and waved their weapons to the skeletons.
"Don't underestimate us, bastards, even we have killed the black iron rank prostitutes." The eyes of Pansy, who are usually cowardly and obedient, are filled with crazy bloodshots, and stabbed out from a strange angle like a dagger and poisonous snake, and were accurately inserted into the sockets of the skeletons closer: "Don't underestimate us, bastards, we have even killed the Black Iron-level professions, let alone you, die, die."
As a sister, Mimosa, who is usually a little lively and bold but is more timid than her sister, has no expression on her face and her eyes are calm and dead. Whenever her sister stabs her dagger, Mimosa will just use her limbs or weapons to fix the skeleton's head so that her sister can kill her smoothly. Her movements are skillfully just like the two of them have cooperated countless times. The sudden crazy attacks of the two sisters actually made the skeletons unable to move forward for a while, and they were blocked from the spot for more than ten seconds.
There are too many skeletons. Even though most of the attacks of the skeletons were avoided by the two sisters using Vivian's magic shield as shield, five or six deep wounds were left on the two girls in just over ten seconds, and blood kept flowing out of the wounds. However, the sisters who were uniquely ferocious from the City of Innocence in their blood still had red eyes and fought desperately with the skeleton, as if they did not give me a way to survive, I would also drag you to die together.
"Back back." Vivian's voice seemed to come from heaven. The two sisters felt that they were grabbed by one hand and dragged back. The two girls who were so excited by their own injuries that they were almost unreasonable that they stabbed their backhands in the back. They did not wake up until the dagger was bounced away by the magic shield and retreated behind Vivian.
"First of all, it's impact space." Vivian waved her hand, and the impact force formed by the magic burst out from her right in front of her, shocking the skeletons in front of her for a few steps while also making the skeletons gather closer.
"Then, it's the Purgatory Requiem." Vivian's hands suddenly raised upwards. There was no flame or sign, but in the space of nearly 100 meters in front of him, the temperature suddenly rose by hundreds of degrees. Under the action of high temperature, the original moisture in the bones was evaporated in large quantities, the bones became more and more brittle, and the surface of the bones was covered with a layer of yellow color.
"Finally, it's Vivian's mode." Vivian retracted his hands to his chest, formed a curse seal, and recited loudly: "The Song of the Burial of the Wind."
A magic barrier slowly rose along the edge of the ground covered by high temperature, surrounding most of the skeletons located on the half of the walking path of the four ladies in the center. Wind blades formed on the barrier and flew aimlessly in a straight line. Whenever they hit the edge of the barrier, they would make a mirror refraction and fly in the other direction. At the same time, more wind blades continued to be generated from the barrier. Within the surrounding barrier, there were more and more wind blades and became denser.
The original power of the wind blade can at most cut off the joints of the skeletons or thinner arm bones, which cannot cause fatal damage to the hardest skulls of the skeletons. However, after the previous high temperature invasion, most of the skeletons' bones became more crisp and their hardness decreased linearly. When the wind blade passes, it can easily cut the skull bones and destroy them with the soul fire.
The skeletons kept hitting the magic barrier that blocked the way, but the barrier that was built by the golden-level mage prepared for so long, and Vivian continued to guide and strengthen the magic on the side, which was not so easy to break. Under the impact of the skeleton, although the barrier became increasingly unstable, there were fewer and fewer skeletons that could maintain their movement inside. Countless soul fires emitted tragic wails from the soul and disappeared in the air.
"Bang." Catherine flew back from behind for the fifth time, this time it hit the barrier directly, causing the barrier to sway violently, and slid down against the barrier and lay on the ground. But this time, Catherine did not struggle slowly to get up, but jumped up like a rabbit caught in an arrow, quickly jumping to the side, and shouting: "Hot, burn me to death."
