The surrounding area fell into darkness for an instant——
The screams of the ladies immediately resounded. Brando and the cripple had no time to look around and had already drawn their swords from under their cloaks. Bottom and Ciel's reaction was only a little slower, and the red-bearded mercenary untied his sword from behind.
With a giant sword as wide as a palm, one hand pressed the shoulder of the cripple not far away - for fear that this guy would play tricks, and then he and the young wizard apprentice protected the lady on the left and right in the middle.
The lame man snorted lightly, but on the surface he didn't mind.
After the ladies panicked, the men's angry voices and questioning voices rang out from all around.
But on the contrary, the hall on the first floor seemed quieter, because most of the people sitting there were experienced adventurers or mercenaries. Most of them had experienced many battles and were calm enough to prevent the commotion from expanding further.
"Brando, what happened?" the businesswoman's voice asked curiously in the darkness, but there was no fear in her voice.
Antitina sat behind her, nervously grabbing the skirt on her knees, her fingertips turning white. But she narrowed her bright eyes and did not show the fear in her heart.
"Hush -" Brando said, he had already seen some frizzy young people not far away, the little nobles lit the matches, or the luminous gems on their canes.
But some lights come on and then go out.
Elementary light spells are not uncommon in ordinary people's lives in Warnd. Even in some big cities, the street lights on both sides of the streets are made of crystals enchanted with light spells.
The cripple had a ring that could shine, but he didn't rush to polish it. If he raised the light source in the dark, it would only become an eye-catching target.
But sometimes things often backfire.
Just when Brando and Cripple were guarding the surroundings for any danger, the sword in the young man's hand flashed. He was slightly startled, and then looked at the long sword in his hand emitting a faint light.
At first, the light was like a layer of fluorescence attached to the sword blade, but the next moment it suddenly became brighter, and the light emitted from the raised sword illuminated the surrounding area in a snow-white light——
With this bright light, before Brando and the cripple had time to be surprised, they saw four cloaked uninvited guests quickly passing through the narrow aisles between rows of seats and heading straight towards them.
Their hands were tucked under their cloaks, apparently holding the weapons underneath.
They are enemies, not friends.
"Brando!" Bottom shouted from behind.
Without saying a word, Brando decisively raised his left hand, and a series of crossbow bolts shot out from under his cuff, immediately nailing the cloaked stranger in front of him.
The all-steel crossbow bolt had a huge impact at such a close distance. The cloaked weirdo in the lead fell on his back with a groan. He rolled back, and his companions got out of the way from both sides, and then raised their heads.
Look in Brando's direction.
And Brando happened to see a pair of burning orange-red flames hidden deep under their hoods.
"It's the undead..." He was stunned for a moment. How could these damn things appear in this place and at this time? But the situation no longer allowed him to think too much. The hands of the three cloaked strangers who had been buried under their cloaks reached out.
It came out - it was a dry, armored hand - it was holding a strange-shaped one-handed sickle.
Brando actually doesn't know whether that weird weapon should be called a sickle, because it looks more like a sharp, semi-circular starfish, but the barbs and sharp blades on it make people guess that this thing is obviously not
It's so simple as a decoration.
The curse had only a weak effect on the undead, so the young man gave up the plan of wasting the cursed crossbow bolts in an instant. He pulled Little Roman behind him and retreated between Bottom and the Cripple.
But the three cloaked strangers had already pushed aside the people blocking the way and rushed over. Their target was obviously Brando - the three single scythes swung at him without any hesitation.
Brando raised his sword and caught the scythe of one of the cloaked strangers with a clang. The huge force on the sword almost made him take three or four steps back and almost knocked down the seat behind him.
Little Roman screamed, but Antitina over there grabbed her hand and dragged her over. The noble daughter hugged the businesswoman, lowered her body to the ground and crawled in the other direction.
She was extremely nervous, but she was extremely clear in her mind, as if every move she made was subconscious.
Bottom also stretched out his long sword from behind to block a cloaked stranger, but he immediately grunted, obviously feeling uncomfortable.
"Black Iron's upper reaches strength." The red-bearded mercenary shouted.
"Zombies!" Brando also recognized his opponent's identity at this time.
Zombies are a type of puppet creature. They are just evil creatures generated by the necromancer injecting the soul of a warrior into the empty armor. In the game, level 31-33 zombies are the main force of Madara's second-line army, but they are agile.
, they are good at concealing their aura and have another identity——
Madara's Assassin.
Brando felt that the zombie he was facing was at least the captain level, and his strength was close to the silver level. This was not considered a master among Madara's second-line army, but it was placed opposite Instaron in Braggs.
It is also an elite front-line unit in the army of the undead.
Is they targeting him?
Brando was a little confused about the situation for a while, but the zombies lurking in the hall had begun to attack in all directions. The panicked roars of the mercenaries and adventurers who were attacked suddenly rang out.
Brando felt that his strength was not as strong as the opponent, so he simply shrank back, picked up the chair and threw it at the opponent. The Zombie Captain waved the odd-shaped single sickle with his backhand - the chair immediately fell into pieces. But the young man had already used this
The sword of opportunity pierced its heart - which is also the core of the zombie's soul fire.
The captain of the zombies let out a hoarse roar, and quickly grabbed Brando's elf sword. Silver-white flames immediately rose from between his fingers, and the sting of the purifying fire penetrated into the soul and bone marrow of the undead.
screamed immediately.
But instead of letting go, it swung the sickle at Brando's arm.
"Good guy -" Brando gritted his teeth. It's not like he had never fought against Zombies in the 'Amber Sword'. But that was already a very advanced matter, but even so, the other party's fearlessness still made him afraid of death.
He was impressed—so the moment the Zombie Captain grabbed the Thorn of Light in his hand, he felt bad.
He immediately let go of his hand and stepped back to get out of the way of the almost certain knife hit by the opponent.
At such a close distance, without the Thorn of Light, Brando has lost almost all means of attack. The Wind Queen Ring can be used - but it is difficult for him to guarantee not to hurt Roman and Antitina on the side.
The Holy Sword card does not have enough earth elements to pay for it, and the energy loss will not be of use. The Sylph Spider can be used, but at this distance, the opponent may have already summoned the Sylph Spider before he can summon it.
Cut it into eight pieces.
The hesitation lasted only a moment.
Brando immediately lowered his center of gravity and suddenly jumped forward, hugged the opponent's waist with both hands and slammed down. The Zombie Captain suddenly became unsteady. He fell backwards with Brando, and the two of them were knocked over in succession.
After three rows of chairs, Brando felt pain all over his body, as if he was about to fall apart, but his mind was very clear, and he almost turned over and got up together with the zombie captain.
The Zombie Captain went to grab his single scythe.
Brando immediately held the elf sword that fell aside in his hand.
The zombie captain seemed to be struggling to stand up, trying to regain control of the initiative, but Brando was faster than it. He launched the charging skill and hit the undead chest. The power of ten times the speed was so terrifying, the empty movable armor was almost
He immediately flew out in the opposite direction - but even so, the Zombie Captain, who had a strength close to that of Silver, still stabbed Brando's shoulder with a backhand scythe at the last moment.
"Trees are tough!" Brando yelled in his heart. His skin quickly became lignified, but before that, the Zombie Captain's scythe had already broken through the layer of faint blue light around his body - that was the magic protection provided by the conflict aura -
—and then cut deep into his woody skin.
For a moment, blood flew.
Brando gritted his teeth to prevent himself from screaming, but the pain was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He pulled out the sickle and threw it to the ground. Then he looked at the Zombie Captain who fell into the crowd. He did not dare to neglect and immediately removed himself from his arms.
Draw the Sylph Spider card.
"Show, the destiny card - Sylph Spider."
A row of attributes was immediately projected on his retina:
Sylph Spider, 8 points of life, 4 points of mana, strength 1.9, dexterity 2.7, constitution 1.0, the last three attributes are '—', the attack method is bite (base damage 1-1), and the special ability is incorporealization
.
The general attack of an incorporeal creature can only cause one-third of the damage. As a result, the zombie captain who has lost his weapon can hardly kill a spider with just one blow. But Brando understands what the opponent is facing.
It's not just a sylph spider.
But fifteen.
He pointed forward, and fifteen cyan vortexes, large and small, immediately appeared behind him. Spiders with their heads baring their teeth and claws, and half of their bodies made of whirlwinds immediately shot out from the vortex. These little things were like streaks of cyan light.
The same thing - after a few turns on the ground, it shot directly at the Zombie Captain who had just stood up.
One sylph spider possesses nearly two levels of power. Although the power of fifteen spiders cannot be simply accumulated, it is enough to hinder the actions of a zombie captain whose strength is close to that of Silver.
They were hanging on it and biting desperately. The Zombie Captain screamed angrily as he pulled the spiders off his body and threw them to the ground, but his actions seemed a bit futile. Because Brando had already seized this opportunity.
.
When the captain of the zombie warrior was distracted by the sylph spider, he strode forward and pierced the opponent's chest with his sword. The terrifying undead wanted to resist at the last moment, but his movements were out of shape due to the pull of the spider.
Lando's eyes were so full of holes.
A sword pierces the heart.
The captain of the zombies let out an unwilling cry. The heavy damage to the vital parts caused the purifying fire on the Thorn of Light to cause nearly four times the lethality in an instant. Brando almost watched the undead swaying in the pure flames.
It turned into a pile of gray-black armor remains.
Start with 700 experience points.
He turned around and saw that Bottom, Ciel and Cripple were retreating under the attack of two zombies, while Antitina had already pulled Roman and hid in another direction.
Then there was a loud noise from above the auction house——
Brando raised his head and saw a black figure falling from the box above and crashing to the ground. There was silence in that direction for a moment, and then there were waves of screams.
"Sir Rosal!"
"Martha, this is Mr. Rosal, the deputy captain of the Security Cavalry!"
"They killed him!"
Brando's heart tightened when he heard this. It seemed that these damn armors were not directed at him. Instalong wanted to attack the top brass of Braggs. What did he want to do? There is no record of this in history.
matter.
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw the doors on the side of the trapezoidal upward 'theater' suddenly opened in unison - there were five doors in total, and rows of snow-white skeletons walked out from behind the doors holding bows and arrows.
The young man's pupils narrowed in an instant.
So many undead? What are the managers of the auction house doing? What are the security cavalry doing? What are the Silver Wings and the Guard doing?
