Flame Archangel Appears, Brain's Blood Boils
The pale green glow faded, Verdant Leaf Witch dispelled the "Plant Growth" spell to prevent the flames from burning along the plant and causing secondary damage.
Without plants as fuel, the flames were completely extinguished by the cold wind, revealing three figures on the carriage.
"It was blocked?"
A Magic Caster on the left hill changed his expression when he saw that his "Fireball" had not caused the damage he had expected.
"Is it the effect of a magical item?"
"Fireball!"
The burning orange-red flames were released again, while blue lightning also shot out from the hillside on the right.
"Lightning Strike!"
Two Third-Tier attribute spells attacked the Barghest and the carriage respectively. Although the spells were very simple, their targeted attacks immediately suppressed Tang Zheng's side.
"Lightning Strike" is an extremely fast piercing spell that can suppress the Barghest, while "Fireball" explodes upon contact with its target.
With Enri, an ordinary person, on the carriage, the widespread explosion could also halt the actions of Tang Zheng and his two companions.
"Kill!"
"Kill these guys."
"We'll be rich!"
Hahaha!
At the same time, a mercenary group of forty people rushed down the hillsides from both sides, suppressed by the magic of two Magic Caster from the "Death Spreading Sword Mercenary Group".
Faced with such a scenario.
Even after Enri snapped out of her daze, her white-haired fingers gripped her short sword tightly as she warily looked at the mercenaries rushing towards her.
"Roar!"
The Barghest roared and leaped away, its fierce beastly eyes fixed on the oncoming blue lightning.
He shook his head violently.
The Bone Chains that were wrapped around his body shot out like snakes.
Boom!
The Bone Chains collided with the Lightning Strike in mid-air, producing a deafening roar, and blue lightning exploded, dimming the surrounding light.
"Bone Chains" look like black metal chains, but they are actually a type of very light and hard bone, so they are not conductive.
Hissing white steam rose from the red-hot ends of the Bone Chains!
The Barghest's limbs fell from the air, sliding about two meters before pulling back the Bone Chains its body and re-entering it.
The Magic Caster unleashed the "Lightning Strike" exclaimed, eyes wide. "How could this be!"
This is Third-Tier magic.
It was just a mere Barghest; if it had dodged, that would have been fine, but it actually managed to take the hit head-on!
"Corrosive Destruction!"
Boom!
The sour, putrid liquid collided with the Fireball and exploded, the two forces canceling each other out.
On the other side.
Brain and Captain Fikampa, who had been watching the battle closely, both focused their attention on the Barghest.
It was not unexpected that the green-haired girl Magic Caster was able to easily block the "Fireball" attack.
superior
"I remember the difficulty level of monsters like the Barghest is around '40-45,' right?"
Captain Fikampa was first surprised, then his expression turned even more grim. "Third-Tier magic should have killed it, yet it managed to block it!"
The plan kept going wrong.
This made Commander Fikampa's expression even more ferocious, and he exuded a murderous aura.
First, the trap failed to set up, and then the plan to kill the Barghest pulling the cart, making it difficult for Tang Zheng and his group to leave, also failed.
"Oh."
"In the face of hard power, all so-called plans and arrangements are nothing but garbage."
Brain rested one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, spoke lazily, and his brown eyes lingered briefly on the Barghest and the Verdant Leaf Witch before turning to his real target.
Even if there is a distance between them.
Although Brain couldn't see Tang Zheng's expression clearly, he could still sense a sense of composure from the other man's posture.
"Haha, your words are as harsh as ever." Commander Fikampa grinned and laughed, showing no anger whatsoever.
Because the true trump card of the "Death Spreading Sword Mercenary Group" is Brain himself.
On the road below.
Screams and agonizing cries began to rise gradually.
The Magic Caster on the two small hills briefly suppressed the Barghest and the Verdant Leaf Witch by continuously casting spells.
However, the extent to which this can be suppressed is clearly limited!
Despite being surrounded by armed mercenaries from all sides, the Barghest and the Verdant Leaf Witch were still able to mount a counterattack.
However, with their numerical advantage, some of the mercenaries quickly broke through the defenses of the Barghest and the Verdant Leaf Witch, gradually approaching the carriage.
"My lord." The Verdant Leaf Witch's gaze was icy cold, her green hair rising and falling slightly.
She was now itching to slaughter all the humans in front of her, but none of her magic spells had any area-of-effect attacks.
"There are really a lot of people. The advantage of numbers does have some effect." Tang Zheng glanced around and waved his hand at the Verdant Leaf Witch.
He knew that the Verdant Leaf Witch wanted the Dense Fog Witch hidden within her to make a move, but Tang Zheng waved his hand to stop her.
"The real protagonist hasn't appeared yet. Is this a test to see what I'm capable of? Fine."
Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, then slightly raised his eyelids.
"Second -Tier Magic - Shockwave!"
"Quick Stab!"
Among the approaching mercenaries were clearly many skilled fighters. A Magic Caster, deliberately dressed in black leather armor and resembling Warrior, approached Tang Zheng from his side and rear, raising his hand to cast a spell, protected by several mercenaries.
at the same time!
A Thief jumped out from behind, dagger in hand, and stabbed at them.
With the two attacking from both sides, dealing with either one inevitably leads to being attacked by the other.
Enri's pupils contracted, and without hesitation, she rushed forward, standing in front of Tang Zheng: "Captain!"
Bang! Bang!
Xiu Ran, two dazzling white lights appeared in the arena, condensing into two holy figures Flame Archangel, in mid-air!
A Flame Archangel swung its Flame Sword, slashing down at the shockwave and blocking the attack.
Click!
The other Flame Archangel easily blocked the Thief; the thief's dagger pierced the Flame Archangel's silver-white armor without leaving even a white mark.
The Thief stared in terror at the Flame Archangel that had appeared out of nowhere.
Puff!
The Flame Sword pierced through the Thief's chest.
"Ah!!" the Thief screamed, then stopped abruptly.
The Flame Archangel raised his arm and cleaved the Thief in two with ease, the flame-covered blade cutting through the thief like tofu.
Two Flame Archangel radiating a faint white light hovered beside Tang Zheng, causing the excited mercenaries to freeze in shock.
The air fell silent at that moment.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two Flame Archangel flapped their wings and instantly rushed out like wolves among sheep. With each strike of their Flame Sword, a mercenary's life was taken.
A terrified scream shattered the brief silence!
The Flame Archangel of Gundam (Level 21) is far beyond the capabilities of ordinary mercenaries.
At the very top of the small hill not far away.
Bang!
Captain Fikampa took a step back, his foot landing on a pebble. His previously ferocious face showed fear. "That's— Angel Summoning monsters! It can summon two at once!"
"Retreat, retreat..."
No wonder the "Rainbow" adventure team, a "Mithril Rank" team, was wiped out.
Damn it!
That genius Alchemist actually possesses such abilities! What a team! Damn Adventurer's Guild!
"Asshole."
Commander Fikampa took another step back, a hint of retreat on his face. The power displayed by those two Flame Archangel was truly terrifying.
He had just noticed that even when five or six people ganged up on it, they couldn't inflict any effective damage on the Flame Archangel monster; instead, they were easily killed.
These mercenary members are all quite capable; few of them are useless.
Even if Commander Fikampa didn't care about the casualties of his men, he knew that against such a powerful enemy, they no longer had a numerical advantage.
A demonic Barghest whose strength far surpasses that of a normal Barghest!
A green-haired girl who is Third-Tier Magic chanter.
Genius Alchemy who can summon two Third-Tier Angel Monsters.
Such a powerful team is impossible to contend with using only a numerical advantage unless one possesses a number of equally powerful individuals.
Even if they ultimately succeed, very few members of the Death Spreading Sword Mercenary Group " will survive, let alone retain the Empire's bounty.
After a brief analysis of the pros and cons, Commander Fikampa made the most correct choice, roaring with a contorted face, "Everyone, retreat—"
Snap!
A large, rough hand pressed down on Commander Fikampa's shoulder, forcefully interrupting him.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Commander."
Brain twisted his muscular neck, his previous lazy demeanor vanishing, and his gaze turned fiery as he looked down.
Its original ability was to summon Angel.
We've finally figured out the intelligence!
The reason this genius Alchemist so famous, besides the empire's high bounty, is that he invented a unique method to concoct potions using the blood of Demi-Human Species.
Brain had absolutely no interest in making potions or anything like that.
But he knew that to concoct potions using the blood of Demi-Human Species, one needed not only superb alchemy skills but also considerable strength.
Otherwise, Demi-Human Species blood wouldn't be so easy to obtain.
The keen intuition of Warrior.
This allowed him to sense the strength of those two Flame Archangel, a level that even he needed to take seriously.
This is the first time I've encountered a specialized summoning Magic Caster!
Brain was already fired up.
After his defeat against Gazef, he yearned to fight any type of strong opponent; only by satisfying his insatiable fighting spirit could he become even stronger.
"I don't care about anything else, just keep that green-haired Magic Caster occupied." Brain's brown eyes were fixed on Captain Fikampa as he spoke calmly.
Commander Fikampa felt a chill run through him and quickly replied, "Alright!"
"Pooh."
Brain spat out the toothpick he was holding in his mouth and walked step by step down the slope of the hill towards the road below.
Although he appeared aloof and lazy, a noticeable change in his demeanor began to emerge as he took his first steps.
Like a wild beast awakening, finally beginning its hunt!
Around the empty road, the corpses of many mercenary group members lay on the ground; of the more than 40, only about a dozen remained, huddled together barely holding on.
The screams and the stench of blood in the air were crystal clear to Brain.
But at this moment!
Brain stared at the scene before him, a strange thought suddenly popping into his head, "The difference is so obvious, it's almost jarring."
Despite being the attackers and having the largest numbers, they were the ones who suffered a series of defeats and appeared to be on the verge of being crushed.
This would certainly seem like a jarring scene to most people, but to Brain, it was perfectly normal.
Because that's reality!
The reason it feels so incongruous and unbelievable is that ordinary people simply cannot comprehend such power.
Most people are not talented. Even those adventurers and experts who are considered powerful by ordinary people are just ordinary people who know a little bit of martial arts in Brain's eyes.
Only those who reach his level can truly understand the difference.
"It's Mr. Brain!"
"We're saved!"
With Brain's appearance, the mercenary group members, who had been in despair, regained their light.
Brain?
Inside the carriage, Tang Zheng's eyes flashed as he noticed the figure with blue hair.
"Therefore, these people are the ones who ' Death Spreading Sword Mercenary Group '."
Tang Zheng finally understood the origins of these attackers. "An unexpected reunion, huh?"
I felt a strange sense of melancholy.
Tang Zheng still remembered the last time he saw the other party was on the arena of the "Royal Tournament".
He was sitting on the outermost edge of the stands, marveling at the fighting skills between Gazef and Brain, so much so that he couldn't even see their movements clearly.
Now, let me see how much you've grown in the past six months.
Thump! Thump!
Seeing the mercenaries begin to gather in his direction as he appeared, Brain frowned and said coldly, "You bunch of bastards, get out of my way!"
Kindness!
Brain had barely finished speaking when he raised an eyebrow and instantly pulled the knife from its hilt.
A heavy thud echoed through the air.
"Hey, hey, didn't anyone tell you not to interrupt when others are talking?"
Brain gripped the hilt of his sword with one hand, his sharp gaze fixed ahead. "Forgot, you're nothing but a beast."
The gleaming blade rubbed against the Bone Chains, producing a grating, creaking sound.
"Roar!"
The Barghest roared, manipulating its Bone Chains to bend in mid-air, bypassing the blade and striking fiercely.
The Bone Chains, which shift and swing in mid-air, make it difficult to observe their attack trajectory.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Brain simply moved his eyes around in their sockets, and with a single wave of his hand, his longsword and Bone Chains clashed and collided incessantly!
The dazzling offensive elicited gasps and excited shouts from the surviving mercenaries.
