The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Rumble!
Accompanied by a roar, Hank with the bald head showed an extremely ferocious expression, and then, the pair of huge fists hammered on the red-scaled blood snake.

Immediately, the red-scaled blood snake let out a mournful cry.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of blood-red light flickered suddenly, and the red-scaled blood snake left a snakeskin body in place, but the main body was nowhere to be seen.

"Did you escape?"

The bald Hank raised his brows, with a bit of surprise on his face, then shook his head, looking in the direction of the Red God Temple.

Around, those wandering apprentices breathed a sigh of relief.

After paying a heavy price, the Red Scaled Blood Snake was finally severely injured, which meant that no one was guarding the Red God Temple.

But at this time, several wandering apprentices retreated towards the rear without any trace.

A look of vigilance appeared on the faces of several of them.

For this group of wandering apprentices, although the Red Scaled Blood Snake has been dealt with, it also means that the alliance formed by them no longer exists.

As a wizard, bald Hank possesses absolute oppressive power.

If he wanted to attack everyone, even the wandering apprentices would not be able to resist.

Thinking about it in another way, if this group of wandering apprentices were in the state of bald Hank, they would not share the Red God Temple with a group of weak people under the premise of absolute strength.

Therefore, for these wandering apprentices, taking advantage of the chaos to rush into the Red God Temple seemed to be the only chance.

For this opportunity, it is enough for them to do their best.

However, at this moment.

The bald-headed Hank looked around, as if he had seen through everyone's thoughts, he sneered, and a faint sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

"The Red Scaled Blood Snake has been seriously injured."

Bald-headed Hank raised his head and said loudly, "Aren't you all going to enter the Red God Temple with me? I will never break my promise to you."

Hearing Hank's words, everyone had strange expressions on their faces.

Seeing what Hank meant, it seemed that he had no intention of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. The wandering apprentices were puzzled, but they still did not relax their vigilance.

On the spot, the bald Hank's eyes flickered slightly.

He has no intention of monopolizing the Red God Temple. After all, the bald Hank knows very well that the interior of the Red God Temple cannot be free from danger.

Therefore, these wandering apprentices are the best cannon fodder for him.

Below the Red God Temple, in the underground palace.

In the dark passage, Sauron looked vigilant, and screams came from ahead, as if some kind of flying creature.

Beside, Logan looked nervous.

"Run away!"

Suddenly, there was a terrified cry from the front of the passage not far away, but there was a figure of a female apprentice, who fled out in a panic.

Flutter and rinse!
And behind the female apprentice, dark purple bats were chasing closely, each one as big as a falcon.

"Help!!"

With a desperate scream, the female apprentice fell to the ground, and the bats behind her rushed up and quickly drowned her.

For a moment, the female apprentice remained motionless.

"It's the Ghost Bat!"

When Logan saw the group of bats, he couldn't help but gasped, his legs couldn't help trembling, and he wanted to turn around and run away.

In the same place, a thought flashed in Sauron's eyes.

I know something about the ghost bat. It is said that it is a monster known for its speed. Its strength alone is not terrifying, but every time it takes action, it is usually in groups.

While he was thinking, the group of ghost bats were already attacking Sauron.

"Soul Storm!"

On the spot, Sauron didn't hide or dodge, and between uttering syllables, his mental power spread like a tide, and he repelled all the ghostly bats in an instant.

However, the next moment.

The group of ghost bats were different from the soul-sacrificing insects, they possessed a certain amount of resistance to mental power, so under the influence of the soul storm, they only receded a little, and then launched a more violent attack.

Moreover, the speed of this group of ghostly bats was so fast that they surrounded Sauron and Logan almost in the blink of an eye.

"Damn!"

Logan's face was ugly. In such a situation, even if he wanted to escape, it seemed that it would not be an easy task.

If it was just a ghostly bat, Logan might still be able to fight, but now, with so many ghostly bats, it is impossible for him to have a slight chance of winning.

"grown ups……"

Feeling the threat of death, Logan's voice trembled a little, and he looked towards Sauron who was beside him, but saw that the other party still had a calm expression on his face.

"Shadow Blade!"

Sauron's eyes flashed, and while uttering syllables, a black shadow blade was condensed in his hand, and he killed a ghostly bat while waving it.

Immediately afterwards, other ghost bats swarmed up.

For Logan, who is at the apprentice level, these ghost bats may be a fatal threat. However, in the eyes of Sauron, these ghost bats are just a group of wild beasts.

"Soul Storm!"

A gleam of silver light flashed in Soran's eyes, and his mental power spread like waves. In an instant, the ghostly bats around him fell to the ground one after another.

"Still stunned?"

Sauron raised his brows, and looked aside at the stunned Logan.

Hearing Sauron's words, Logan woke up like a dream.

He hurriedly joined the battle, and quickly killed the ghost bats one by one. With the joint efforts of the two, all threats were quickly resolved.

After a while, the ghostly bats around turned into corpses.

"call!"

A complex look flashed in Logan's eyes. Looking at the corpses of ghostly bats around him, thoughts flickered in his mind. He really didn't expect Sauron to have such strength.

"This guy is definitely a top quasi-witch!"

Logan narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head, and secretly said: "In the era of turbulent demons, everyone has a chance. I'm afraid this guy is only one step away from the realm of a wizard?"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After Sauron dealt with a group of ghostly bats, the vigilance on his face still did not relax, and he looked towards the darkness ahead.

Swish!
After a while, there was a sound of rubbing, and a black shadow seemed to appear above the rock wall, and the scarlet eyes shone with a strange luster in the darkness.

"It's a human-faced spider!"

Logan gasped, seeing the monster hanging upside down above the rock wall, he couldn't help but tremble.

"A human-faced spider?"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around, but saw a huge spider slowly appearing not far away, the pattern on its back was like a human face.

Like the ghost bat, the human-faced spider is also a monster-like creature thousands of years ago.

In today's Lost Continent, such things are almost extinct, and the few that are left live deep in the caves.

When he was in Old Lington, the city of wizards, Sauron saw a mission to buy the blood of the human-faced spider as a supernatural material.

At that time, Sauron had considered whether to accept the mission to obtain the magic stone, but later, he chose to give up because the mission was too difficult.

At this moment, seeing the human-faced spider in the dark, Sauron was thoughtful.

The Red Mystic Realm is the place where Saint Elsa sealed the ancient Red God. Therefore, it seems that it is not an exaggeration to see any ancient creatures here.

However, there is one thing that Sauron is not clear about.

That is, what do these ancient creatures represent in the mysterious red realm? Are they prisoners who were sealed here together with the red god in ancient times, or are they the guardians left by the red god in the mysterious realm.

While Sauron was thinking, the human-faced spider had already attacked him quickly.

"Sir, be careful!"

Behind him, Logan couldn't help but remind him that although he knew Sauron's strength was unusual, he still felt a little nervous when facing this human-faced spider.

After all, at this moment, Logan was already on the same boat as Sauron. If Sauron was killed by the human-faced spider, waiting for Logan's fate would definitely be a dead end.

No wonder Logan was so nervous.

Sauron's expression remained unchanged, and a trace of calm appeared on his face. Immediately after waving his hands, the cursed arrow struck forward like a shadow.

call out!
Accompanied by the sound of piercing through the air, the human-faced spider was pierced by the cursed arrow, and it seemed to lose its vision in an instant, scrambling around like a headless fly.

"Dark Soul Wave!"

On the spot, Sauron uttered a syllable, and a mass of black flames condensed in an instant, and then roared and attacked the man-faced spider.

Rumble!
But seeing that group of dark soul waves bombarding the human-faced spider, it immediately let out a scream, but the curse power on its body was also dispelled.

Perhaps feeling the threat from Sauron, the human-faced spider twisted its eight legs together, and in a blink of an eye, it fled towards the depths of the darkness.

Seeing this scene, Logan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment.

A sneer appeared on Sauron's face, and then he went straight ahead and chased after him. Logan's expression changed, and he stood there at a loss.

The human-faced spider had been repelled, but Sauron was unwilling to let go of the prey he had.

"Damn!"

Logan stood on the spot, hesitant, but in the end he chose to chase after him. After all, for him, Sauron was a rare backer.

In such a dangerous underground palace, losing Sauron as a backer would definitely not be a good thing for Logan.

But in the dark, the human-faced spider is like a duck to water.

As a giant spider that has lived in the underground palace for countless years, it is not familiar with the surrounding environment.

Therefore, in just a moment, Sauron was left behind by it.

"Eagle Eyes!"

However, in the darkness, Sauron used the ability of the eagle eye rune to pursue him all the way, and soon followed the footsteps of the human-faced spider to a cave.

This place seems to be the lair of the human-faced spider, surrounded by many spider webs, some prey that have been wrapped in cocoons are hanging above, and some of them are still struggling.

"help me……"

A somewhat familiar voice came from his ear, and Sauron looked over, only to see a dwarf trapped inside a cocoon.

Sauron frowned. He had a little impression of this dwarf. The dwarf seemed to be a quasi-witch who had attended the Extraordinary Conference held by the Morun family before.

Unexpectedly, the other party has also entered the underground palace and has become the prey of the human-faced spider.

Swish!
In the dark and cold lair, the human-faced spider swam extremely fast and came to the top of the underground palace. While eating a prey to recover from its injuries, it stared at Sauron with a pair of scarlet eyes.

Sauron was unmoved by this.

His face was expressionless, and he looked around. As an ancient creature, the human-faced spider has a high value. Whether it is used as a supernatural material or a magic pet, many people outside like it.

In the Red Mystery Realm, Sauron's biggest goal is to collect all resources. This human-faced spider has been regarded as prey by Sauron, so naturally, he will not give up easily.

After a while, Sauron took the lead.

But seeing him waving the white bone wand in his hand, the dark soul wave condensed into a black sphere, roaring and heading straight for the human-faced spider.

Just now, the human-faced spider was seriously injured by Sauron's magic attack.

At this moment, looking at the dark soul wave coming again, the human-faced spider naturally did not dare to resist, it twisted its body, and fled towards the distance at an extremely fast speed.

brush!
In its own lair, the speed of the human-faced spider seemed to be extremely fast. While avoiding the bombardment of the dark soul wave, it could even take advantage of this opportunity to spit out a ball of highly corrosive liquid.

Snapped!
Following the attack of the liquid, Sauron's face remained unchanged, and he stepped back quickly, dodging the attack of the man-faced spider. On the ground, immediately after being hit by the liquid, traces of corrosion appeared.

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the looks of it, the human-faced spider is highly poisonous, even if he is a quasi-witch, if he resists stubbornly, he probably won't end well.

Even if he does not die, he will be seriously injured.

Thinking of this, Sauron showed a look of vigilance, and then the figure jumped up, and took advantage of the opportunity to pull out the Broken Star Cross Sword at his waist.

brush!
A dark green flame ignited on the Broken Star Cross Sword, and as it swung it, the surrounding spider webs burned one after another. Sauron's swift and fierce attack made the face-faced spider scream.

"Ghost fire!"

Sauron landed on the ground, uttering syllables lightly. This human-faced spider did not pose much threat to him, but the opponent was in the lair, relying on the advantage of the environment, it could display strong mobility.

In order to get rid of this human-faced spider as soon as possible, Sauron planned to clean up the entire lair, at least destroying those spider webs first.

brush!
The blazing ghost fire spread throughout the nest in an instant. Seeing this, the human-faced spider immediately let out a piercing scream.

Sauron frowned slightly.

The scream of the human-faced spider should also belong to a kind of mental attack. As a wizard, although I can bear it, I still feel in a trance.

However, the next moment.

Following the scream of the human-faced spider, two human-faced spiders suddenly appeared in the shadows, and they were bigger than the previous one.

A trace of surprise appeared on Sauron's face.

As far as he knows, human-faced spiders are solitary creatures, and it is rare for several human-faced spiders to live together.

But at this moment, Sauron was a little surprised by the appearance of two human-faced spiders, but he was not too flustered.

"Controlling the spirit!"

Sauron whispered syllables in his mouth, and all four resentful spirits under his command were summoned. (end of this chapter)
