Coming out of the hole that Karl destroyed, they quickly arrived at a corridor on the first floor according to the location provided by Cyril.
"Is this the location?"
Carl asked, pointing to the ground.
He felt that something was not good here. The terrain on both sides of the corridor was empty and there were no bunkers. If the enemy caught up with him, there was no place to hide. It was really not a good terrain.
"I don't want to do this either, but it really has to be here."
While speaking, Cyril raised her arms as before.
"Cover me and I will complete the ritual as soon as possible."
"no problem."
Karl immediately raised the [Decapitating Blade] in front of him to protect him, guarding the road they came from.
"The sky without beginning or end;"
"It starts from here and ends from here."
"The stars lead the way in the darkness,"
“There is no hiding place under the future;”
"High, exciting, wise, dawn."
"Avoid all evils, all..."
This time the spell was obviously much longer than when they came in before. Cyril was still chanting while drawing the pentagram in the same way, but she couldn't finish it in a short time.
This shows that it is indeed much more difficult to get out now.
However, while Seliel was performing the ceremony, something unexpected happened.
Several skeleton archers suddenly appeared on the other side of the corridor, and these summons seemed to have heard their movements and chased after them!
"Damn."
Karl cursed in a low voice, and the phantom knife was released!
Under his surprise attack, the heads of these skeleton archers were instantly cut off, and their bodies were scattered on the ground, turning into a pile of white bones.
However, Karl did not relax because of this. He still remembered the previous battle on the street. These two skeleton archers were probably just the beginning.
"Celile, move faster, those ghosts are catching up with you!"
Karl shouted anxiously and stopped talking, staring intently at the approaching enemy in the corridor.
Hearing Karl's urging, Cyril, who was concentrating on the ceremony, also realized that time was running out. The movements of her feet immediately became faster, and the chanting in her mouth became much more urgent than before.
"Butler, what on earth is this woman doing?"
Xibel looks like an ignorant girl. She can't understand Cyril's behavior.
In her eyes, this guy said he wanted to take her out, then he cut a hole in the wall for no apparent reason, and finally he was sneaking around here without knowing what he was doing.
"Miss, Ms. Cyril is preparing a ritual. We can enter this world to rescue you because of her method."
"Huh, I'm quite capable."
With a cold snort, Sibel stopped talking.
Even she could see that the current situation seemed to be detrimental to them, and it was the best choice not to disturb them.
As for the rudeness of these two people to me, I will tell my father when I go out and he will take good care of them.
Karl on the side was not as leisurely as them. He knew very well that he might be the only fighting force on the field. At this moment, he was still looking at the end of the corridor with all his attention.
Taking slow and deep breaths, allowing the blood to transport oxygen to various organs in the body, he would then face the upcoming enemy in the best possible condition.
Sure enough, when he finished exhaling for the fourth time, three more skeletons came out from the corner.
Different from the skeleton archers I saw before, these three guys are all over 2.5 meters tall, wearing heavy armor and holding shields. As for weapons, they all hold heavy weapons in one hand, including two-handed axes.
Two-handed sword and two-handed hammer.
"Where did the skeleton grow so tall?"
Without thinking, the projection of [Decapitating Blade] was aimed at the guy holding the hammer.
The reaction speed of this kind of heavily armored skeleton is quite good. When Karl threw the projection, he raised the shield. Unfortunately, although the reaction was fast enough, the movement could also keep up.
However, the characteristics of [Decapitating Blade] had no effect at all, and like the two skeleton archers just now, their lives were easily taken away by Karl.
Seeing that one hit was successful, Karl immediately wanted to continue using this method to kill the remaining two.
But Cyril’s previous reminder came to mind again.
Once the magic power is exhausted, the shadow element will begin to corrode the human body. If one's own magic power keeps projecting the [Decapitating Blade], it will not take long for the ammunition to be exhausted.
"I don't intend to become that dark and slutty look."
After muttering something in a low voice, Karl threw out an ordinary phantom knife and shot it.
This attack was neither painful nor itchy to the two guys who had placed the order, and it was completely unable to break through their defenses.
Seeing that this kind of attack could not accomplish anything, Karl felt cruel and rushed directly towards these two big guys wearing heavy armor!
Because he knew that he must ensure the safety of Cyril now, otherwise if the ritual failed and the three disease demons came over, the hope of returning would be completely gone.
It’s a race against time now, and Cyril must not be disturbed!
Seeing Karl's charge, these two skeleton heavy-armored warriors rushed over without hesitation, without any mysterious concerns because their companions were killed instantly.
It is indeed an emotionless summoned creature from the dead.
With this in mind, Karl took the lead in attacking after getting close.
[Decapitation Blade] slashed diagonally from bottom to top, creating a silver afterimage in the air. The shield in front of it was immediately cut in half, and the skeleton armor behind it was also directly destroyed.
Although the effect of this blow was terrifying enough, the emotionless skeleton had no hesitation. The giant ax and sword slashed at Karl at the same time.
The heavy weapons, with the sound of tearing the air, crossed and hit Karl at the same time.
Facing this menacing attack, Karl had no intention of flinching, and the speed of his feet did not weaken at all. He just rushed towards the attack!
At the same time, the [Decapitation Blade] that had just been raised in the attack drew an arc above the head, cutting off the giant ax and the sword at the same time!
At this moment, Karl's position was between the two skeletons. He stopped here and turned around instead of continuing forward. The sword-light corridor of [Decapitating Blade] was like a full moon, and the two skeleton heavy armor warriors were also blocked by him.
Cut off!
Done!
Before Karl could rejoice, he was hit hard by a fireball.
His body fell against the wall of the corridor and he struggled to raise his head.
A total of five skeleton mages holding staffs, wearing robes, and crowns stood at the corner. Five pairs of dark eyes looked at Karl at the same time, and they raised their staffs together.
Immediately afterwards, five identical fireballs flew over!
Finished!
Karl didn't have any strength now. The fireball just now severely damaged his body, and he could even smell the scent of meat on his chest.
"Let the light of your higher self come down and bring the lost people back to their hometown!"
When the hairs on Carl's face could feel the temperature of the fireball, Cyril shouted the final eulogy loudly.
Then the fireball hit the wall of the corridor heavily, and Karl, who was originally paralyzed here, disappeared without a trace.
