Ryan's Sword

Chapter 24 No.20 Counterattack in Four Acts
"Since I know you are a conjurer, how could I give you the chance to curse you to death. So, I'm really sorry..."

Ian saw the combat reminder of gaining experience brushed out in his vision, so he drew out his long sword and gasped violently.

The previous scene appeared in Ian's mind——

Holding his long sword, he leaped down from the tall Bauhinia Oak tree. With the added speed of falling, he stabbed a sword straight at the enemy's heart!At the moment when the sneak attack was about to succeed, the black-robed man in his eyes turned his head abruptly, a female face was exposed under the black hood, and almost at the moment he turned his head, he opened his mouth and sprayed a pathetic green sour liquid!
This was the closest moment Ian was to death since he crossed over. The acid attack spouted from the mouth of the magician of the iron rank corroded half of his chest muscles and half of his face almost instantly!
This level of acid damage directly caused Ian's life to drain to the end. If it wasn't for the slight increase in his life value through the previous upgrade operation, if it wasn't for the precious free attribute point he obtained from the previous upgrade, Added to his physique, if he hadn't completed the upgrade operation with the severe pain of his body turning into pus at the moment of residual blood, I am afraid that the one who died in this duel would not be Ferrola on the ground, but him!

Although his body recovered to its best condition at the moment of upgrading, Ian still couldn't help but feel palpitations when he thought of the moment when he was sprayed with acid.

Warriors often encounter this kind of embarrassing end when encountering spellcasters in the early stage. In the case of lack of magic defense, no matter what kind of spell is hit, they will almost have to eat all the magic damage.Acid Jet is a basic spell that can be cast instantly at the iron level. Its principle is more based on the corrosiveness of acid itself. In terms of setting, this is originally a skill used to clean up weak wild monsters , if it is used in PVP, it is easy to be blocked by fighters of the same level who burst into battle, and it is basically difficult to deal damage.

However, such a simple basic spell almost cost Ian his life, just because there is a level gap between the two sides, and just because he is still unable to use battle energy as a white-level man!
This tragic experience made Ian even more in awe of the world.However, this does not mean that he has become cautious and lost the confidence to move forward.

For Ian, facing up to his own weakness is the first step to becoming stronger.

If he can't see this clearly, even if he has visited the sanctuary in the game, then one day in the future, he may fall on the road ahead like the predecessor of this body.

Relieved, Ian finally had time to look at the corpse on the ground that almost desperately tried to kill him.Soon, he followed the drop list that popped up in the field of vision, and found a few pieces of jewelry on the corpse that had not yet lost its magic power——In Weilan’s setting, props that are not on the drop list on the corpse will be lost due to the user’s death. And lose the original magic power, this setting is applicable to any weapon equipment or even magic potion, the official officially uses this rule to reflect the explosion rate of the game.Before he had time to check the attributes of these pieces of equipment, Ian's gaze stayed on the left hand of the corpse, recalling it in his mind.

"The Ring of Devouring..."

Searching for information about the dead body's severed left finger in his memory, Ian's heart suddenly dawned.

This evil organization that popped up in the early days of the game is one of the most important crusade targets after players upgrade to the Iron Rank.This group of evildoers is actually the first wave of pawns sent by the forces of the abyss to test it. It was not until later that the players discovered who the driving force behind the scenes was.

Of course, these are things for later, so I won’t mention them for the time being.

"Unexpectedly, the tentacles of these guys have already reached Yilan Forest."

Ian couldn't help frowning. At that time, the mainstream player level was still at the white level. The appearance of an enemy whose strength exceeded the limit of the novice area should trigger a large area task.This kind of regional mission that can only be completed by the cooperation of many players has enough qualifications to be recorded in the history of Weilan. However, in his impression, such a thing did not happen at all.

"Could it be that the Golden Oak Leaf Firm in the game failed to withstand this attack, and those players who participated... were wiped out?"

Ian thought about it, and finally came up with only one possible result.You must know that such large-scale regional missions do not necessarily succeed, but have the possibility of failure.After the system determines that the regional quest has started, once the player who joins in fails to help the Golden Oak Leaf Trading Company out of the predicament within the specified quest time and number of quests, the regional quest will fail and be closed permanently, and will not be formed again. Similar to field dungeons, regional events that can be refreshed repeatedly can be challenged by players who enter the game in the future.

If the event in the game ends in failure, there will naturally be no corresponding "What major event did the player in such and such an area do? It has been recorded in the history of Azure, and you can check it later on the official forum." "The server-wide announcement was issued.

"That is to say, I beheaded this conjurer, and it is very likely that history has been changed?"

Ian thought strangely.

For such a result, Ian did not have any mental preparations before.Although he knew that he had traveled to his favorite game world, but this was the first time he personally participated in an event about the direction of history.

Although I don't know what kind of impact the destruction of the Golden Oak Leaf Trading Company in the game has had, but since the other party is an evil organization like the Ring of Devourer, it won't be a bad thing to prevent this from happening.

Ian couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he came to this conclusion, and then he bent down and peeled off the black robe from the dead body.

(what do you want...)
The ring serpent mark of the Ring of Devouring was printed on this black robe, and Ian took it back as an explanation to the caravan.Otherwise, it would be strange that his behavior of leaving the battlefield alone would not be regarded as a deserter.

Presumably, seeing as Keyer, he would not fail to recognize the mark of this evil organization that has been raging in the northern border many times.

What's more, the other party is obviously coming for their caravan!

After thinking and thinking, Ian leaned down again, and slashed out with a sword expressionlessly, cutting off the dead body's left hand cleanly.Immediately, he wrapped his bleeding left hand with that black robe.

"It seems that what this big fat man wants to transport is not that simple..."

Holding the black robe that wrapped his severed hand in his hand, Ian sucked his teeth, squinted his eyes and sneered.

"For the reward of less than twenty gold coins, I almost confessed here! When I go back later, I have to ask that fat man for a raise!"

————————————————————————————————————

In the camp of the Golden Oak Leaf Firm, Davis and Chris, who were surrounded by wild wolves, had turned into two blood men through and through.With the perseverance of their minds, they all feel a little hopeless about this kind of endless massacre. Although the wild wolves who have stepped forward cannot really hurt the two of them, the ordinary guards of the caravan and the adventurers recruited temporarily cannot do it. This way they stay unscathed in battle!
It can be said that people fall down every moment. Although the wolves will pay more for this, no one wants to see this kind of bloody exchange!
"and many more……"

"The attacking desire of the wolves has dropped!"

Almost at the same time, the two guard captains who were struggling to stop the wild wolves keenly noticed the changes in the wolves.The wild wolves that were fearless and rushed towards them showed obvious fear. They began to stand still, and even howled restlessly. They completely lost the crazy momentum of fearlessness before!

To say what specific changes have taken place in these wild wolves, the two captains of the guards who have little knowledge of manipulative magic really can't tell, but their eyes will not deceive them-the eyes of these wild wolves are less than before. That faint green light burning like a will-o'-the-wisp!
"Ow—"

"Ouch-"

I don't know from which wolf it started, the pack of wild wolves let out elongated howls one after another. With the howling of wolves one after another, the wild wolves left behind the invincible enemy in front of them, and one group after another scattered and fled in all directions!

The defense line that was almost compressed to the center of the camp let out a sky-shattering roar, and the exhausted people, without exception, chose to announce to the world with angry roars——

We are alive! !
Nearly half of the guards fell in this fierce battle. Such a heavy loss was the first time since Golden Oak Leaf Trading Co. went southward!

"Stand by where you are!"

Davis roared like a blood man. Following his orders, the guards and adventurers who had vented their anger formed a new line of defense to prevent the scattered wolves from attacking the caravan again and possible enemies in the forest.

After collecting the remaining guards, the two captains of the guards looked at each other, and both saw the same anger in each other's eyes.After being entangled by a group of wild beasts for so long, the brothers under his command suffered heavy casualties. As captains, even if they have made no mistakes, they must bear the blame.
How long has it been since this sense of powerless frustration?

The two captains asked themselves, and finally roared out like everyone else!

The angry roar of the two even covered the sound of the battlefield on the other side. For a moment, the black-clothed thieves were shocked to find that the two blood-colored figures were like demon gods walking out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, charging towards them crazily. come over!
The addition of the two strong reinforcements made the battlefield on the other side immediately decisive. The men in black who did not have a strong man at the top of the Iron Rank were almost completely defeated, leaving behind a lot of dead bodies, and managed to escape into the forest.

Under the orders of the three guard captains, the imposing caravan stopped their pursuit, and everyone returned to the camp.The people on both sides of the battlefield gathered together, and after a while, they finally broke out into laughter of victory.

"The situation has changed..."

On the branch of a bauhinia oak tree, a hoarse voice whispered to himself.

"It looks like the conjurer sent by the headquarters has been killed... Hey, what a brainless idiot..."

Accompanied by the weird sound of scales rubbing against tree trunks, the hoarse voice finally disappeared, leaving only the voices of the surviving people in the center of the camp.

That's the laugh of the winner.
