Palmer, who was following the crowd, suddenly fell silent when he saw the magic pattern on the armor, and bloodshot threads slowly climbed up his eyeballs.
The terrifying whisper of magic instantly took away his sanity, his body began to tremble, and a dark seed began to sprout from his heart.
In his fading sanity, he knew...this was definitely not a normal whisper of magic!
But some kind of more corrosive and bewitching force!
But he couldn't open his mouth, and he couldn't even use magic to warn!
"boom!"
The flesh and blood of his body suddenly shattered, and the flesh and blood were wrapped in dark magic patterns to form a huge net.
"careful!"
The dark magic power surged and impacted, and the magic power that everyone was on guard against was washed away, and the big net fell down over their heads.
Everyone's expressions changed dramatically.
"Gerald, don't use magic!"
Some people shouted, and at the same time, more than a dozen real-looking tentacles sprouted from their waists, pulling everyone back and rushing back.
"Thanks, Wesley!"
Everyone was frightened by this sudden turn of events. Fortunately, there was such a mage who was always vigilant and used mimicry magic. Otherwise, there would have been heavy casualties when this big net of flesh and blood fell.
"Don't be too happy yet."
Wesley, who had saved everyone's life, twitched his lips slightly and stared at the monster that Palmer suddenly turned into——
It was a "heterosexual" who was covered in blood, with flesh and blood mixed with black magic patterns, and was almost inhuman form. The dark magic power he originally possessed condensed around him, forming a deep halo. Under the halo, there was a circle that gradually spread outward.
The dirty blood will quietly blacken and wither the vegetation as soon as it touches it.
The guard with a weird smile stumbled into the halo, and was quickly broken into pieces of flesh and blood that merged with Palmer's body, and then turned into an even weirder monster.
"Violent——"
The monster's mouth emitted a high-frequency scream, and the irregular sharp corners on its head seemed to have grown sharp mouths, and the sharp horns were emitted along with it.
The magic power in everyone's bodies surged, and Wesley retreated again and again. If everyone hadn't been in a maze with no escape, he would have turned around and ran away without hesitation!
Gerald is the one who has the most unspeakable suffering of all. When the power of the dark side is overwhelmingly powerful, his magic power is affected.
Wesley saw through it at a glance and told him not to use magic power because he was worried that his magic power would directly irritate the monster.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Someone asked in a low voice while retreating.
"It's a bit like some kind of 'hatred puppet' recorded in ancient books."
Winifred said cautiously: "But it must have been a mutation, because the influence of Palmer's magic power may have solidified the curse on him. This is a good thing, but also a huge bad thing!"
"...What should I say, old gentleman?"
"By complementing each other, the power of the curse will become even more powerful!"
In the eyes of everyone, the strange sound of "beep boop boop" in the monster's body came to an end. All the bones in the two people's bodies were crushed, separated from the flesh and blood mass, and gradually turned into a cross made of white bone fragments behind them.
.
The flesh and blood then revealed a ferocious human shape, and slowly attached itself to the cross behind him.
Like a suffering saint.
Invisible fear enveloped everyone's hearts.
The dark halo shook, and Finn's expression changed drastically, and he quickly signaled everyone to retreat.
"Escape! We can't defeat it!"
No one has any doubts about his words, because the terrifying death threat has enveloped everyone!
The flesh-and-blood monster covered in magic patterns floated into the air, and a dark hooked sickle appeared in its "hand", as if it had transformed into the god of death in hell in an instant.
Finn suddenly felt bursts of black energy escaping from everyone's bodies. He was keenly aware that this was probably the true face of the curse!
"Keep running away, delaying time, I may find some way to break the situation!"
His words made everyone who was already a little desperate suddenly feel hope again.
——He is the legendary Finn!
Finn was startled. He felt that the thin black air had become diluted a lot!
This team uses their own techniques to increase the speed of the entire team like crazy.
As for the others, they really couldn't take care of them. They could only watch the horses and soldiers being devoured by the monster one by one.
In this circular maze of unknown area, everyone fled for their lives.
Since Finn can't even feel the boundary, it's enough for everyone to escape!
"Confirm the division of labor and don't consume too much magic power! That monster is not as fast as we thought!"
Some of this group of experienced mages quickly calmed down and began to direct everyone to distribute their magic power reasonably.
Among this group of people, according to Chai Anping's classification, the one with the highest level of magic control is only 60%, and generally it is between 40 and 69%. It's not because they are weak. To be honest, they can possess this level of magic.
He is considered a strong man, but increasing his magic power is not an easy task!
Otherwise, wouldn’t the mage demigods just disappear everywhere?
Therefore, if we don't allocate people to rest, I'm afraid they will have to be chopped up by the monster with one sickle after another in less than half a day.
Winifred said: "I will teach you a frequency method to assist in the use of magic power, which can reduce the loss of magic power between us."
"Sorry for your trouble!"
Now is not the time to hide things, Gerald is also teaching a few people around him.
As everyone's hope, Finn didn't dare to show his inner panic - although he discovered something was fishy, he still couldn't find out the root cause after all this time!
How long will this chase continue?
no one knows.
…
It has been three days since Chai Anping officially "returned" to the capital, and the time he spent with Lux was far less than when he sneaked back. These days, he would start today's visit step by step as soon as he woke up.
Popular fried chicken!
There were some invitations that he couldn't refuse, and Tiana also told him not to be willful recently and to handle the relationships with the major families.
She even got quite a few of them for him through her own connections.
This kind of kindness cannot be ignored, and Chai Anping admits that he is not that bad. Furthermore, he was actually doing this kind of work when he was in Pi City, and after he came back, he got used to it inexplicably.
In the past few days, he felt that his network of contacts had grown by leaps and bounds, and he had forged friendly relationships with many people inexplicably. In the future, he would often give gifts and visit as guests during the New Year and holidays.
It is said that the official reward for him has not been released yet, and the ceremony at the harbor was just a welcome. What he received was only honor, and there was no substantial reward.
The biggest reward is of course that the title can be moved upwards, and the lower one may be able to remove the word "dai" from one's own representative.
Let’s see specifically what Jarvan III thinks. It’s against the rules to raise a title without enough military merit. Demacia has always followed the rules. Chai Anping feels that this is unlikely.
His too young age is also an obstacle to this award.
So Tiana was very confused when he refused and wanted to arrange for him to join the army.
What they didn't know was that Jarvan III and Xin Zhao had been arguing about his reward a few days ago, but who would have thought that the mage team would suddenly disappear!
The originally planned exhibition match could not be held, and the spies who went out to investigate could not find any trace of the team. Xin Zhao's Qi-nurturing skills were enough to make him angry.
"How could it be possible for so many living people to suddenly disappear! None of the sentry posts, inns, or even the border were found along the way! Is it a ghost!?"
The spies responsible for this matter also had troubles to say. The whereabouts of that team could not have been easier to trace. The traces along the way were very obvious, but the traces were suddenly interrupted and the people disappeared!
What's even worse is that one of their agents is missing. This leader didn't dare to report it to Xin Zhao, otherwise he wouldn't have to take his position at all.
"etc!"
Xin Zhao suddenly stopped talking. His original intention was to test Chai Anping's strength and ability, not necessarily through a duel.
"Go down and collect all the information on this incident and hand it over. You will no longer be responsible for this matter from now on!"
