N-A-A Chapter 519 Stalking
Chapter 519 Stalking
Using the barrier of wind and snow, the old man's sight was blocked. Then, the bird nimbly flew through the storm. With the clever cooperation of Millicent and I, in an instant, the dancing swords and shadows completely engulfed the old man.
After using up my gravity combat skills, I quickly rolled on the ground to avoid Millicent's attack.
However, even when I used my full strength to perform Water Bird Dance, the sword energy still made my back feel numb and painful.
——Well, after all, it was me who told Millicent not to hold back.
The bird flew by lightly and folded her wings.
And on the snowy field behind her, the red flowers from the other side were blooming everywhere.
The old man with "bloody fingers" was covered in wounds, as if he was in a bleeding state, with wounds of all sizes all over his body.
“...what a beautiful swordsmanship.” He praised softly, and then the old man seemed to let out a helpless sigh, “My king...please, please forgive me for my incompetence and inability to take back the Great Rune and return my life to you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body swayed and he fell headfirst into the snowfield, unable to support himself.
A ray of rune light gathered on Millicent.
——So, this guy is here to take the Great Rune from me?
Speaking of this, it suddenly occurred to me that I had seen the old man's aggressive sword skills somewhere before.
The night I first arrived at the Red Lion City of Gaileyd, I was ambushed by an unknown person... In the end, it was him.
But compared to that time, I always feel that the old man's strength has weakened a lot. If he didn't attack with the bloody blade of "corpses everywhere", I feel that I can just use my strength to counter the opponent's moves.
Besides, the knife wound I suffered wasn't too deep...
As expected, I am now quite strong. After all, the main upgrade is strength.
Millicent came over and asked, "Zero, are you okay?"
"Well, I still have the Holy Grail Dew Drops to recover, so it's not a big deal." I smiled and praised again, "But, Millicent, your Water Bird Dance is still as strong as ever. It actually killed the old man in seconds. If you have time in the future, please give me more advice."
This is no polite statement.
After all, there is a high probability that we will have to face Malenia head-on later, so finding a solution to this move is essential.
Millicent nodded happily. "With great pleasure."
Pollyanna still looked at the old man lying on the ground with disdain and asked, "So, who can tell me where this old guy came from and why he suddenly didn't want to live and came here to cause trouble?"
"He's a member of the Bloody Fingers. He must be here to take the Great Rune from me." I explained briefly. "Maybe I'll run into the same guy again in the future."
I remembered that there was a portal leading to the Blood Dynasty in the Holy Snowfield. Although it was one-way in the game, I couldn't guarantee it in reality. After all, when the "Blood King" Mung kidnapped Michaela from the sacred tree, he should have attacked from the location of the portal.
Sir Baizhi also said that there seemed to be some trouble in the Blood Dynasty recently. Although he didn't know the specific details, he couldn't guarantee that the white masks hiding in the blood pool would come and cause trouble.
"In short, we should be careful. These guys are not the kind that can communicate. If we don't deal with them, they will be hard to survive if they fall into the hands of Blood Finger." I also put away the Night Fire, "Let's go."
Although there were some minor incidents, with the help of Millicent and others, we didn't waste much energy. After replenishing some supplies at the blessing point at the entrance of Samir Ruins, we all returned to the Lord Elevator.
As Letina raised the two holy tree symbols, the entire elevator rumbled, the gems in the guards' eyes lit up, and the door that was closed by the long-handled axes spun open and began to sink, ready to take us to the entrance of the Holy Snow Field.
The remaining dead roots are probably hidden at the entrance. If I remember correctly, the maze is full of invisible bridges and hidden doors, and the main monsters are the giant terrestrial octopus and the evil soldiers who always like to laugh strangely.
Speaking of the value of the giant octopus in the snowfield, I suddenly remembered that there is a big earth dragon hidden at the end of the glacier valley in the middle of the Huasheng Snowfield.
In the game, there happened to be two giant snow octopuses nearby. With the brothers working together, they could easily defeat the earth dragon.
If there is a chance, I might go over and take a look. After all, I can collect an ancient dragon rock forging stone nearby... but the specific time is a bit difficult to decide.
Just as I was idly thinking about insignificant plans as the big elevator began to move, Millicent suddenly turned around and shouted, "Zero, look out!"
After saying that, she immediately drew out her Seishir long sword, rushed over and pushed me out.
when--
The crimson blade fell directly from mid-air, causing sparks to fly and forcing Millicent, who had clenched her teeth, to her knees on the ground.
"Alas, it's you again, girl. You're too clingy." His voice was still as vicissitudes and cold, but there was a hint of teasing in his tone. "I'm not looking for you. Go away!"
After saying that, the other party kicked Millicent in the chest, knocking her to the center of the elevator.
"The old man with 'blood fingers'!" I looked at him in disbelief.
It could be him again?! He jumped down from the top of the elevator just as it was moving and chased after him.
But that's impossible, I clearly saw his runes converge on Millicent, which was a sign of being knocked down and killed.
The old man was also a faded being like me, with only one life... Could it be that he sacrificed Twigs to protect him from fatal damage? Or did he crush Rune like Anastasia, the "Devourer of Faded Beings", to create the illusion of death? But this recovery was too fast.
However, if we just chase him like this, wouldn't that be scoring twice?
No matter how confused I was, the most urgent thing was to deal with this guy to prevent anything from going wrong in the elevator.
Pulling out the Nightfire, I rushed forward without hesitation, swinging the knife straight at his head.
The old man dodged and had no intention of attacking immediately.
However, his reaction seemed to be even slower than before, which gave me an opportunity to strike with my knife, almost cutting off his arm.
Although he was injured, the old man quickly turned his wakizashi and swung it at me.
A scarlet blood blade blocked my attack.
Whoosh whoosh—
Several strands of insect silk suddenly shot out, like a big hand, wrapping the old man tightly.
"This time, I won't let you untie it easily." Pollyanna learned from her mistakes and used the silk to lock the opponent's wrist tightly, making it impossible to turn, and it was difficult to untie the silk with a knife.
But the next second, in the darkness, a murky yellow-red flame suddenly flashed across, instantly piercing Pollyanna's entire shoulder, forcing her to let go of the silk.
······Just now, was that a crazy fire that streaked across the sky?
"Pollyanna." Millicent ran over quickly, and my alertness increased, staring at the old man with "bloody fingers".
There was indeed a mad aura rising from the other party, and with a slight struggle, the insect silk loosened.
He smiled strangely and said, "Haha, this is the feeling of being alive, it's so wonderful... Ah, it's you, the other half of my king. He said that you are no longer useful, so hand over all the runes on you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a streak of fire streaked across the sky and shot straight towards me.
——The crazy fire man is really haunting us!
