Chapter 53 Blood Plague Bead (3.2k)
"Huh? There seems to be a problem in the town square."
Feeling the scene before the Skeleton Knight disconnected his soul, it seemed that a large number of people were abnormally concentrated in the town square, Yihua frowned He frowned.
Presumably the great knight Lucien mentioned before was in the square at this time, but why did the other party gather a large number of people in the square?
Yi Hua, who noticed something strange, decided to go to the square to have a look in person. He turned to Lucien and the other three and said,
"The leader of the bandits seems to be in the square. I'm going to take a look. Do you want to stay where you are?"
Lucien and Lucien said. The three sisters looked at each other and announced their decisions.
"Lord Fersis, let's go with you."
Nowadays, the town is full of bandits, and it is not safe to stay where it is. It is better to follow Yihua, the wizard.
Yi Hua didn't care about this. Protecting the three of them was just a piece of cake, and he might be able to gain some extra merit.
The town was not very large, and the carriage was driven at full speed by the old guard Pork. The four of them arrived at the town square in just a few minutes.
What caught everyone's eyes were mummies everywhere, as well as many panicked town residents tied up in the open space of the square.
A group of bandits were already waiting here, led by a plain-looking young man with black hair.
As a great knight, Yi Hua noticed something strange about the black-haired young man at a glance. There was a strange vitality reflected in the other man's body.
Different from the normal soothing and vigorous milky white life energy, the slightly scarlet life energy in the opponent's body appeared extremely violent and uncontrollable.
He has obviously reached the level of a great knight, but he doesn't know how to contain his life energy.
The crazily leaking life energy seems to remind the people around him all the time: "I am a great knight!"
And from the age point of view, the other party is also a bit too young, unless he is a genius noble knight, but This is incompatible with the identity of the other gangster.
On the high platform, there seems to be a richer scarlet life energy.
However, due to the viewing angle, Yihua could not clearly see the scene on the high platform.
"You murderers!"
Looking at the piles of corpses on the ground, among which he could faintly see many familiar faces from the past, Lucien roared at the bandits with a mixture of resentment and red eyes.
Yihua had no reaction to the pungent smell of blood in the square. Even if it was an even worse smell, he had already seen it in the world of death.
He glanced at the two skeletal knights' bodies on the ground, set his sights on the tied residents in the square, and issued an ultimatum: "Let them go!" In response to
Yihua
's words, the young knight glanced at Yihua's chest. He showed the wizard badge in front of him without any action. Instead, he clenched the long sword in his hand and said coldly:
"Your Excellency, wizard, I advise you not to meddle in your own business."
At the same time, Yihua's remaining eight skeleton knights received Yihua's sword. Hua's orders came to Yi Hua one after another.
The morale and discipline of the bandits present were completely incomparable to that of the empire's regular army. Looking at the group of skeleton knights opposite, fear flashed across their faces one after another.
Just when the battle was about to start, a disdainful voice from the woman in blood could be heard from the high platform in the center of the square:
"He is just a first-class wizard. Now that you have discovered this place, don't even think about leaving. You guys, kill him!
" The bandits seemed unable to disobey the order of the woman in blood. Yihua also noticed this, knowing that the abnormal life energy of these bandits might be related to the woman on the high platform.
The moment she finished speaking, streaks of scarlet life energy descended.
The bodies of a large number of bandits who only had the strength of apprentice knights swelled and their eyes turned red. In just an instant, their strength was forcibly upgraded from the original apprentice knights to the official knight level.
"It turns out that the power of these bandits was given by the woman on the high platform. Could it be that the other party is also a wizard?"
Yi Hua guessed in his mind.
The bandits who had increased their strength seemed to be in a state of rage.
Led by the young knight, a dozen formal knight-level bandits behind him rushed towards Yihua with devouring eyes and fearless death.
Yihua, who was standing there, was not idle either. The eight skeleton knights behind him quickly rushed towards the bandits.
The breath of death was released successfully at the same time, and the magic-guiding cross sword in Yihua's hand was shrouded in gray mist representing the power of death.
Nowadays, there are many people present and the situation is confusing. Yihua is not prepared to summon the Skinner immediately and chooses to test it first.
Seeing the young knight on the opposite side whose life energy was about to overwhelm Yihua, Yihua used Life Explosion.
Along with the violent beating of the heart, a steady stream of power emerged from the limbs and bones.
Seeing that the young knight was targeting his vital parts, Yihua did not stop his defense.
Taking advantage of the life armor, he completely gave up on defense and slashed straight at the young knight's arm with his sword.
The young knight was frightened and hurriedly changed his moves at the last moment, barely resisting, and took several steps back to stabilize his body.
The mist of death power attached to the Demonic Cross Sword was like a branding iron thrown into the water, causing the scarlet life energy in the young man's body to violently churn.
Yihua also noticed this. Knowing that the power of death can consume life energy, he launched an even more violent attack.
At the same time, eight skeleton knights clashed with more than a dozen formal knight-level bandits, and blood and bones flew everywhere in an instant.
In just an instant, four bandits fell to the ground seriously injured, and a skeleton knight was unfortunately hit in the vital part and turned into a pile of broken bones.
Yi Hua didn't pay attention to this, and chased and beat the young knight fiercely.
Perhaps the great knight who relied on the scarlet life energy for promotion could not use life burst. The young great knight obviously had a higher total life energy than Yihua, but he was being suppressed by Yihua.
Finally, the young man's weakness was revealed due to a momentary loss of strength. Yihua seized the opportunity and slashed at the opponent's arm.
Just before Yihua was about to cut off the young man's arm, a missile made of scarlet life energy struck Yihua.
With Yi Hua's speed, he could completely dodge the missile, but if he did, he would lose the chance to cut off the young knight's arm.
Feeling that the energy fluctuation of the scarlet missile was probably within the scope of second-class witchcraft, Yihua chose not to retreat and resisted the attack forcefully.
Click!
There was a crisp sound, and the young knight's arm was broken. The scarlet missile also hit Yihua's side, causing ripples in the life armor.
The scarlet life energy and the milky white life energy on Yihua's body consume each other, and finally return to peace.
Yi Hua breathed a sigh of relief when he felt that the Life Armor had consumed 20% of its energy, which was roughly equivalent to the Skinner's full blow.
Then he performed the second-level light therapy technique to replenish the life energy lost due to the burst of life and the attack.
As if sensing that the situation was not good, the woman in blood-clothed clothes on the high platform also walked down.
The scarlet missile was released by the opponent earlier.
Seeing that the witchcraft released did not force Yihua back, and was even resisted by the opponent, the woman in blood-clothed frowned and no longer looked down upon the first-class apprentice in front of her.
Yi Hua's pupils shrank when he saw the other party's attire, because although the other party was a wizard, he did not wear the badge of the academy.
This means that the opponent is most likely not a wizard from the academy, but a wizard from other areas, or even a wizard who once defected from the academy.
Mortals are an extremely important resource for wizards. Killing humans is an act that will arouse the anger of wizards and is also an act explicitly prohibited by the academy.
Even a dark wizard academy like the Nine-ring White Tower would not kill mortals for no reason.
Thinking about it this way, the identity and purpose of the other party are worthy of scrutiny.
In just a moment, the battlefield returned to calm. The skeleton knights summoned by Yihua slaughtered all the bandits present at the cost of four perished.
The woman in blood clothes quickly stepped forward and forced Yihua back.
She snorted coldly, took out a scarlet bead, and said contemptuously to the young knight who had his arm cut off at his feet and was wailing in pain: "What a waste. He
absorbed so much energy from the Blood Plague Bead in vain. Let me Let me help you."
Blood plague beads?
Yihua looked at the scarlet ball in the woman's hand, felt the majestic scarlet life energy contained in it, and secretly wrote down the name the woman casually said.
Seeing the great knight's embarrassment, the woman in blood stepped forward and pierced his chest with her sharp nails.
She pulled out the young knight's heart and stuffed the blood plague bead into it.
"Ah!"
The young knight's veins popped out, and his flesh and blood began to expand rapidly as if there were thousands of earthworms crawling under his skin.
In just a few seconds, his body had swelled and his body was no longer human-shaped.
How could Yi Hua just sit idly by and ignore the situation? Yi Hua carried the magic-guiding cross sword with the power of death and rushed to the young knight in an instant.
Although he didn't know what changes the Blood Plague Bead would bring, Yihua knew that this change would definitely not be a good thing for him.
The sword blade in Yihua's hand cut through the airflow and stabbed heavily into the young knight's chest.
The blood plague bead's violent and uncontrollable life energy, like a wild horse, collides with the more advanced power of death.
The body of the young knight that was originally expanding suddenly shrank, and while it was constantly expanding and shrinking, his body suddenly exploded.
boom!
A rain of blood fell on the woman in blood. The other party seemed not to have expected that the power of death on the Yihua Sword could actually stop the strengthening process of the Blood Plague Bead and even detonate it in advance.
In the blood-clothed woman's dull gaze, Yihua relied on the burst of life to nearly double her speed, and rushed forward to chop off her head with a sword.
"It's over."
This woman in blood-clothed clothes seems to have been smooth sailing and does not have much practical experience.
After she encountered something unexpected, she panicked for a moment, only to be killed by Yihua so easily.
Seeing that the battle was over, Yihua ordered the three people on the carriage who were protected by the Skeleton Knight to get out of the carriage and untie the stunned residents on the field.
He was frightened by the hell-like scene before, and was shocked by the fight between the dead and the living just now. The battle between two powerful knights was like tanks colliding, causing the earth to tremble.
Until now, I feel that my arm is free again, and the arm that was originally numb due to lack of blood flow is gradually regaining consciousness.
Only then did the residents of the town come back to their senses from what they saw with their own eyes, which was like a fantasy scene in a bard's story.
There were murmurs in the square -
"Am I in a dream?"
"Did the wizard save us?"
...
Feeling the crazy influx of merit points, Yihua ignored these emotions and picked up the cause from the ground. The scarlet ball dropped to the ground from the previous explosion.
