Chapter 28 Malik's Shadow

Sherman's gaze first looked at Paine who was lying on the ground, then swept over Yuan Ye who was a little at a loss, and finally stopped on Link.

After a violent cough, Sherman waved his staff again, and several red beasts emerged from the flames one after another. They were as big as a calf, with sharp teeth and sharp claws, and a strong smell of sulfur.It is a demon dog, the highest level of Warcraft among low-level demons.

The sound of barking and metal colliding was first heard from the hall outside, and the mercenaries in the secret room were stunned by the scene in front of them.They are just ordinary mercenaries, some of them have even fought against mages, and they are still middle-level mages who can summon creatures from other worlds.

"The healing technique should have healed your wounds, take up your weapon." Link didn't look back, and threw the rattan shield restrained by the flames to the weakest Yuan Ye, "Stand at the back and sing songs that can boost morale." Song."

Yuan Ye, who finally came to his senses, hugged the rattan shield and shrank to the back, plucked the mandolin and hummed. The brisk tune without lyrics dispelled the mercenary's timidity.Paine recovered from his injuries and picked up the dropped dagger, lurking back into the shadows again.

In the singing of the bard, the mercenaries headed by Claude gathered in a semicircle against the wall to defend against the demon dogs who took turns attacking.

Link held the sword in one hand and looked at Sherman who coughed from time to time with a blank expression.He also has no experience in fighting mages. From the novice stage, his training objects are all physics professions.

At this time, Link hopes that the illusion is really a game, at least he can still see the opponent's health bar and attributes, not like this... Oh yes, I can use divine revelation!

The magic was activated quietly, and a hollow and vague voice appeared in Link's mind.

[Expert Summoner. 】

It's too bad, I'm just a veteran rank, and even the most advanced fighter is only lv5. According to the algorithm of a mage, the expert level is at least level 10 or above. How can I fight if the difference is doubled?

The only good news is that the young servants outside are not enemies.

Let's try to see if the combination of swordsmanship + divine arts works...

Link first added tree skin and swift wind to himself, rushed to Sherman with a lunge, swept across the air with the black iron sword, and slashed!

The ground beside Sherman was wiped away with several deep marks, and the invisible mana shield once again blocked Link's attack, but just when the corner of his mouth raised a smug smile, the ground suddenly raised a row of bamboo shoots. prick.Sherman hurriedly teleported, but before he could stand still, a black figure sprang out from behind. The assassin didn't miss again this time, and cut several deep wounds on Sherman's back.

It worked!

Link secretly rejoiced, his idea was right.Although Sherman's mana shield can block physical and magical attacks separately, it is impossible to have both at the same time.Moreover, it takes time to activate it. He first used purely physical warrior skills to lure Sherman to open the physical shield, and then used the magical ground spear to make a surprise attack. Sherman, who was unable to defend against it, could only use teleportation to dodge, which gave Paine who played by ear Chance.Fortunately, Paine is smart enough to know Link's intentions just by watching from the sidelines, and Yuan Ye definitely won't have the opportunity to do so.

"Woo..." Sherman groaned in pain, the flames blocking the door rushed in and enveloped him completely, blocking Link and Paine's pincer attack.The boy who was trapped in the hall came in, and dealt with the demon dog that caused the mercenaries a lot of trouble like cutting melons and vegetables. His move made Paine move towards Link.

There was another piercing cough, and Sherman seemed to be coughing up his lungs.

"Isol's envoy." His eyes stared straight at Link through the flames taller than a person, "When did the Natural Alliance target me?"

The Son of Nature has many names, but this is the most widely known one.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Link.

"It started when you sold your soul to Death." Of course, Link didn't know the exact time, so he could only fool Sherman with such a vague answer.

Sherman panted like a bellows, but he wanted to laugh.The young man gave a loud shout, raised his sword high and rushed forward.The flames surrounding Sherman seemed to have life suddenly, shrinking and stretching into a fiery snake, opening its mouth to swallow the young man.

The young man didn't panic, he cut the snake's body in two with the sword in both hands.Before the mercenaries watching from the side had time to cheer, they saw the scattered flames split into two snakes.

"Tsk~ He ran away." The boy squinted and saw that Sherman had disappeared, leaving only a teleportation gate that lasted nearly an hour. He glared at Link angrily and scolded why he wanted to let Sherman escape.

I'll rub it, it's obvious that you made trouble to let him escape.

Link stared speechlessly at the fiery snake that had been split in half. Elemental monsters could not win with physical attacks, and he hadn't mastered the skills to expel summoned creatures yet.Even if the life weaver can cast spells at higher levels, it is impossible to cast too many skills beyond his own strength.

Seeing the young man wrestling with the Fire Snake again, Link hurriedly shouted to stop, but it was a pity that he was still a step too late, and the Fire Snake split into two after landing. Although it became thinner, its power remained the same.

"Shut up, do you think I want to?" The boy yelled angrily. Of course he knew that the more he hit, the more he hit him, but right now he had no other choice.

As the fire snakes divide more and more, the whole secret room is like an oven.

"Hurry up and think of a way, we won't last long." Yuan Ye was sweating profusely, his clothes were all stuck to his body, if this stalemate continued, they would be burned to death even if they were not bitten to death by the fire snake.

There was no shadow, and physical attacks didn't work. Pan En retreated to Yuan Ye. He didn't speak, but it wasn't much better. The temperature in the room was almost beyond the limit that human beings could bear.

The mercenaries couldn't stand the heat, and ran towards the door regardless of Claude's obstruction, trying to escape while the young man was fighting with the fire snake.The scattered fire snakes suddenly turned their heads at the same time, spewing out fiery flames, instantly burning the mercenaries who stepped out of the secret room into coke.

The few remaining people were immediately scared and shrank back, and the Fire Snake actually stopped attacking.

The boy's face changed slightly, "Sherman thinks we're all going to die here, find a way!" The last sentence was addressed to Link, seeing that he didn't say anything, the boy yelled at him angrily.

"Now only you can save everyone and find a way to break his law of karma."

It turned out to be the law of cause and effect, no wonder it only targets people who leave the secret room.Link doesn't know much about the law of karma, but he only knows that it is an extremely powerful spell. Like divination, as long as the cause and effect are set, if you can't find the correct solution, even a veteran-level karma can kill experts or even It's a master class master.However, the law of causality is also a double-edged sword. Improper use will not only fail to eliminate the enemy, but may also cause backlash.

Link didn't want to sit still, but it's a pity that the divine revelation can only be used once a day.If the 'cause' set by Sherman is not found, these people will all die here, even if Jafar is summoned, it will be of no use.

Rows of stalagmites protrude from the ground, and their target is not the fire snake, but the narrow secret door that only one person can pass through.The whole room was shaken by this blow, and under the influence of the law of cause and effect, the fire snake actually spit flames at the lifeless stalagmite.

Link guessed that Sherman's 'karma' was that anyone who tried to leave the chamber would be killed by the fire snake.As long as the secret chamber itself that constitutes the 'cause' is destroyed, then the 'effect' will not be established.

Fight for character...

Link put all his bets on stepping up the cast, sacrificing all the spell slots of the day, and summoning the earth element.In order to embolden himself and let others know that he summoned him, Link, who had always cast spells silently, even shouted out.

"Earth Element Call!" A huge earth giant drilled out of the ground, directly supporting and deforming the building built underground.

"Hey~ Are you crazy? This way we will all die..."

Before Yuan Ye finished speaking, he was buried by sand and stones falling from his head.The secret room collapsed, but the fiery snake that was raging suddenly withered, shrinking and shrinking until it was completely extinguished.

"Ah, bah, bah, bah~~~" Yuan Ye shook his head vigorously, shaking off the sand and stones from his head, almost smothered to death.He looked up, and it turned out that the earth element summoned by Link used his body to block the collapsed sand for them.

"Isol's emissary!" the disgraced boy questioned Link regardless of his appearance, "Sherman is the lord of Aiden, and you have gone beyond the bounds in this matter."

"Only because he caused trouble on the border of the Pillar of Earth, the Alliance of Nature has the right to punish him." Hull in the form of a giant eagle descended from the sky, which was more intimidating than the huge size of the earth elemental.

The boy twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally left with a cold snort.

"Sherman escaped." This mission was considered a failure. Link was waiting to be taught by Hull, but he didn't say anything, and only let the druids who arrived later clean up the collapsed underground base.

"Are you all right?" Link turned around and stretched out his hand to help Yuan Ye up, but he knocked him down.

"I always thought you were a soldier." Yuan Ye, who had always been joking, got angry at Link for the first time. Seeing his silence, he turned around and walked towards Hegu Town.

"Don't worry, I will persuade him." Pan En patted Link on the shoulder to comfort him, and caught up with Yuan Ye who was striding forward.

"Why are you so angry?"

"He has been hiding it from me!"

The two people's conversations faded away, and Hull turned into a human form. Following his line of sight, Link looked at the boots on his feet, and almost forgot about this matter.

"I found it below..." In other words, isn't the magic spirit of fate only seen by those who are closely related to it?Why does Birdman keep staring at these broken boots?

"I've seen it before. The sacred object of the former Malik God Envoy has a strange name called Lucky Gold Coin."

"What?" Is this Malik's relic?Link was in a mess in the wind.He always thought that the gold coins were real gold coins, how could they be something completely unsuitable like boots.

Wait a moment!The sacred object was taken by me, wouldn't Paine's mission be wasted?

Thinking of Yuan Ye gave Link a headache, how should he explain it to them.

"Sherman dragged his seriously ill body to look for the sacred object. There must be something ulterior. You should go back immediately. You must catch the evidence of his collusion with the undead before the Dawn Sect." Hull stretched out his hand, and Lin The earth elemental that Ke summoned turned into a pile of sand.

"The young man just now belonged to the Church of Dawn? They are also in the camp of order. Why do they show a hostile attitude towards the Alliance of Nature?" Let alone the youth's skill and purpose, why did he want to treat the child of nature who is also the order? Show obvious hostility yourself?

"Although the guardian is on the side of order, the child of nature itself is both order and chaos."

"Just because of this?" 囧~Even if Edgar's camp was not neutral, wouldn't that be the case?

"Dawn and Midnight are opposing gods. One is extremely good and the other is extremely evil. You will have less contact with them in the future. They are all fanatics and brainless lunatics." Hull did not think highly of the Sect of Dawn, and urged Link to go back quickly.
