Chapter 60: Intuition still works well.
In the silent castle hall, even the sound of a pin dropping on the ground would be extremely clear.
"——"
What's the movement?
Roja raised his head slightly, frowning in his heart.
I seem to...hear something?
The reason why he felt uncertain
was because when he listened carefully again, the whole hall was extremely quiet, and the sound he just heard seemed to be just an illusion.
Roja couldn't help but look at the moose and the young dragon.
Although they were undead, the three of them had good hearing.
However, after questioning, both the lv13 moose and the rare lich-type young dragon reported "didn't hear it".
In this empty hall with no breeze, not even the smallest speck of dust stood still.
Naturally, they heard nothing, just like Roja now.
The three dead monsters stood quietly in the room that had been dusty for hundreds of years, like the shadows of three ghosts, without even the sound of heartbeats or breathing.
So what did I just hear?
Is it really an illusion?
No, it's impossible!
Roja didn't think that wearing the Ring of Royal Power and being immune to various mental spells would suddenly cause hallucinations.
Moreover, blessed by the achievements of "Explorer" and "Lucky One",
his perception and intuition should far exceed those of skeletal moose and baby dragons.
Just because they didn't notice anything unusual doesn't mean that they should "submit to the majority".
Hmm...
Roja turned to look at the door leading to the back of the hall.
The two stone door panels were very thick and heavy, half-covered, with only a small gap exposed.
You can vaguely see a dark corridor behind, leading deeper into the castle.
——No one has visited the corridor for hundreds of years, so a thick layer of silver-gray dust has accumulated on the ground.
It stands to reason that there are no monsters inside.
With the help of breath vision, Roja did not find any trace of living creatures or undead.
After sealing the entrance to the outside, the flow of aura surrounding the entire castle was completely still, indicating that there were only various stones inside.
Roja looked at the stone door and thought for a moment,
moose, blow it open!
"Buzz!"
Along with a sound like a chainsaw turning, a dazzling blue light instantly lit up in the dim hall!
"Boom, boom, boom -"
More than a dozen energy cannons exploded, blasting open two thick stone doors, breaking into several pieces and falling heavily to the ground.
When the dust cleared, the scene behind the stone door was revealed. It was
an empty corridor, with a red carpet spread under the thick silver dust. The end of the corridor led to the next broken stone door, and deeper down it seemed to be Triss. home living room.
"Gaba!"
Roja took out the skeleton of a skeleton soldier, let the young dragon possess it, and staggered forward.
"Ka, ka, ka..."
The crisp footsteps of skeletons echoed in the silent air.
It passed the long corridor smoothly, passed the next stone door, and entered the room inside.
During the entire process, nothing unusual occurred.
What the hell?
Roja thought about it and strode in, followed closely by the moose and the young dragon.
He stopped in the corridor and suddenly looked back at the two stone statues placed on the left and right behind the door.
These two statues, one male and one female, are both very famous.
The man is a statue of the ancient hero David, who defeated the giant Goliath with stones, and the woman is Venus, the legendary goddess of love and beauty... It wouldn't be right to
put these two together, right?
Roja felt more and more strange,
but even so, he could not feel the breath of a living creature from these two stone sculptures.
But just a hint of suspicion was enough, and
Roja ordered the moose to fire at the stone sculpture immediately.
"Buzz!"
Just as the moose was accumulating power, the two statues suddenly came to life.
They melted and deformed like liquid, turning into two humanoid monsters with wings and two horns in the blink of an eye!
Gargoyle? !
At this time, Roja finally sensed their hidden aura.
"Roar——!!"
The two gargoyles roared,
but they had no intention of fighting. Instead, they flapped their wings and rushed out of the door and ran away!
After sensing the strong aura of death on Roja's body, these two monsters just wanted to hide and survive from the beginning, so they decisively fled after being discovered.
The ability is very interesting...
Roja was not going to let them go, so he immediately mounted the moose and chased after them.
Both parties quickly rushed out of the castle and came to the empty cave.
Roja suddenly threw the cursed spear, but the gargoyle easily dodged it by waving its wings and only stuck on the rock wall.
He extended a hand and summoned the bone pile.
Thick and sharp bone spurs poked out from the rock wall of the cave one after another, but they were all dodged by the two monsters at the critical moment.
Also missing were the moose's energy bombs.
Damn it, these two monsters have ordinary auras, but their reactions are very fast!
Roya tried to mentally intimidate them, but it scared them even faster.
If this continues, I don't know how long it will take to kill them. Don't even think about running!
With a thought in Roya's mind, streaks of blue arc-shaped energy shot out from the armor.
Then a pair of huge black wings appeared out of thin air, pulled by the dense arc of electricity, and spliced to the shoulders of the demon spider bone armor.
At the same time, a stronger energy continued to pour into his body from the Bone Dragon Wings.
Colonial outfit - Black-winged Sky Ghost!
Although the increase in strength is far less than that of the giant transformation, this form can make Roja's sprint speed reach the fastest!
"Huh--"
The huge jet-black wings slowly unfolded, and
the powerful airflow instantly pushed forward, taking Roja up into the air and breaking away from the moose that continued to run forward.
The next second, the giant black wings flapped suddenly!
"Boom!"
The strong wind roared, and Roja's figure rushed out instantly!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The powerful wings waved repeatedly, and the air exploded!
He turned into an afterimage and quickly shuttled through the cave like a giant bat!
In just a blink of an eye, Roja had already surpassed the skeleton moose and came behind the two gargoyles!
"Gah!"
A gargoyle screamed, and then his head was blown open by Roya's punch!
Its body fell downwards in an arc, hit the ground hard, and broke into stone-like pieces.
"Roar!"
The other gargoyle immediately turned around, roared and bit towards Roja, while spitting out a cloud of gray smoke from its mouth!
"Puff——"
The gray mist hit Roja head-on,
Under the effect of the armor's full attribute magic resistance, he was not affected at all, and the gray mist was like an ordinary smoke.
However, the parts of the armor were not protected, and some areas of the wings on the back began to "crunch" and become petrified, making it suddenly difficult to swing.
The ability to petrify?
Roja was a little surprised.
"Roar——!!"
The gargoyle suddenly jumped into his arms, opened its big mouth full of fangs and bit Roja's arm hard.
However, although its teeth could easily bite through cow bones, they could not break through the bone armor. Instead, their mouths were filled with blood from the sharp spikes at the joints.
too weak.
The bone dragon's wings were not affected too much, and it waved violently again!
Roja rushed out instantly with the gargoyle, pressed its head and smashed it against the rock wall beside it!
"Bang!"
Several cracks opened in the rock wall, and
the gargoyle was hit so hard that his eyes turned white.
Then Roja used his hands to twist off its head.
"Bang-bang!"
The headless corpse and head fell to the ground one after another and fell into rubble.
Phew—it’s over.
Roja fell down, and the black wings behind him disappeared out of thin air after flashing several blue arcs.
He curiously picked up the two magic stones on the ground.
It turned out to be two bloody hearts like ordinary creatures, still beating slightly.
[Gargoyle Demon Stone, estimated at 18,000 copper coins, recyclable]
[Treasure +2, Experience +200, Free Points +1]
So expensive!
——This was Roja’s first reaction.
There is a feeling that the strength of the two gargoyles is not worthy of the price.
However, the price of magic stone also depends to a large extent on the characteristics of the monster itself. The "petrification" of gargoyles is indeed a rare ability.
[The gargoyle magic stone has been recovered, copper coins +18000]
Recover a magic stone, and then add freedom points to the constitution:
[Physique: 8.0 → 9.0]
The corpses of the two monsters have been turned into stone fragments, Roja tried to put them away Entering the storage space, it was concluded that it was not recyclable.
This should be considered monster meat, right?
He waved, and the young dragon flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder.
Have a taste.
Roja handed the stone to the little thing's mouth with some evil intentions.
"Tui!"
The young dragon spat directly on the stone.
Well, it does have a long memory.
Roya threw away the stone and returned to Triss's castle.
After killing two gargoyles, the bad feeling in his heart disappeared.
Intuition, at least for him, is sometimes very useful.
