Chapter 26 Chapter 26 The Devil
The situation suddenly got bad. Balder's bear lizard came at this time, and not only sent minions, but also armed him. Dagon has to one against two, so he immediately thinks of the "sparkle" rune that Rhett Van taught him.

"Half-dragon" Tormund, the adoptive father of Weapon Master Dagon, has a famous saying: "It's pointless to hide and tuck, the dead will keep it a secret for you; always relying on trump card means not practicing new skills."

When you are at a disadvantage, if you can put on the armor, then put it on, and you should not give up anything that increases your winning rate. Dagon knows that he is at a disadvantage, so with a little mana, try the "sparkling" rune, and maybe it will do wonders.

If you don't try, you won't have a chance to try if you die. Isn't it sad?

With a little mana on his fingertips, he tapped a scale in his throat, and Dagon remembered its location clearly. In an instant, he clearly felt a hot wind entering his throat along his arms, the backs of his hands and his fingers, and then completely blocked it, and even suffocated it. He seemed to be choking, and there was a hot soft object in his throat, stuffing the upper and lower passages tightly.

The thing in his throat was about to vomit, and Dagon tried to swallow it, but he remembered Rhett's words just in time: go with the feeling, not against it.

Dagon opened his mouth sharply, and a violent, dazzling flash of light erupted from his throat. Under the rays of light, Dagon's skull, brain, teeth and other organs have become clear shadows, deep red blood vessels are like swimming snakes under the skin of orange-yellow, his hair and beard are like manes, and The entire cave was illuminated by this flash of light.

Scintillation, rune, is generally considered to have a double meaning, one is bright, and the other is high temperature melting. Dagon has just grown up, and only has natural mana and no acquired exercise, so he can only emit light, but not heat.

With two screams, both Balder and the bear lizard were dazzled by the sudden and violent light, and instantly fell into a state of blindness. They step back, swinging their axes or claws in front of them, as much deterrence as they can.

Dagon was also shaken by the light, which was also impossible. He only knew that something would happen, but he didn't know what it was. They are located in underground caves, rocks, underground rivers, and it can be said that everything in this cave reflects light more or less. Jiangu clansman is using dark vision to observe the surroundings, and the surroundings suddenly become daylight, who can stand this?

Fortunately, "Shining" rune's target is Balder and the bear lizard, Dagon is just a bystander who takes collateral damage, and he recovers faster from the dazzle. Dagon knew that he didn't have many opportunities, and he couldn't waste any of them, so when he could vaguely see Balder's position, he held his breath, took off directly, and passed by with one jump!
Yes, he told Doma that during a fight, don't leave the ground when it's not absolutely necessary, but it's extremely necessary now. Balder's eyes can't see for a while, and he will definitely try to listen to what's going on around him. The bank of the river was washed by water, and there were small, loose rubble, most of which were pebbles, which were prone to rattling when stepped on. Considering the importance of stealth and suddenness in this fight, Dagon calculated the distance and launched the jump hack directly.

Bald sniffed, and seemed to have a feeling, the complexion greatly changed, and raised the double axe - it was still too late. Dagon had already made up his mind to defend himself and kill the enemy, and he showed no mercy at all. The headhunting axe drew an arc, and the axe blade slashed directly from Balder's skull, passing through half of his head at once. If Bald hadn't raised his double axe to block it, the axe would have been headed directly.

The axe blade is now near the upper jaw, the injury is too severe, and there is no need to consider whether it is the head of the owl or not. Balder's hands immediately dropped, and the axe fell to the ground, but his legs were still standing on the ground according to the previous reaction. Dagon withdrew his head-hunting axe, raised his back hand, stabbed back with his front, and stabbed Balder's heart with the point of his spear.

This time, Balder didn't react at all, he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.

Next, Dagon confronts the bear lizard. Through its movements and posture, he found that the bear lizard had regained some of its vision, and its eyes were able to accurately track Dagon's position. So he can't be stupid and use jumps and splits, and he can better exert his strength by standing firmly on the ground.

"Good bear lizard, your master is not normal. He wants to kill me, so I fight back. I don't want to fight you, it's not... hey! Damn it!"

The bear lizard accelerated sharply and charged forward. Dagon immediately set up his head-hunting axe and nailed his tail to the ground, ready for a counter-charge. Just when he concentrated one's mind to mobilize his mana to start the "Jian" rune, the bear lizard relied on six legs to continuously kick the ground, exerting far more flexibility than bipeds, and actually moved out sideways, cutting the head-hunting axe's counter-charge. The line comes to the side of the Dagon. It turned its head to bite, and was ducked by Dagon.

"So fast!" Dagon immediately moved the first hunting axe to the side of his body, blocking between him and the bear lizard, but before he could take the stance, the bear lizard supported his body on five legs, Kick sideways with the remaining hind leg. The bear's claws hit the long handle of the first hunting axe hard, and the long handle hit Dagon, knocking him out of the way, knocking him back, and knocking him down. This kick was no less than being hit by a horse. It came from the side of the body again, and the impact was huge.

Kerala, with pebbles fluttering in all directions, Dagon tumbled up from the ground in a daze, his beard, hair and skin still mixed with or adhering to some rubble. "Good bear lizard!" Dagon chuckled, completely hiding the pain in his body.

Before in the underground river, he injured his rib, and the side kick just now almost knocked him out. But in front of animals, you can't show weakness, because animals are very stupid, they will attack when they find a weakness, without thinking about whether it will be a trap. So, if there is a weakness, don't expose it.

Dagon holds the heavier tip of his spear in front of him, and uses short thrusts to wiggle the bear lizard. He did not adopt the stance of the tail in front and the axe on standby, and mainly valued the deterrent effect of the spear point being more straightforward and easier for animals to understand.

The bear lizard tried to cut from the side several times, but was resolved by Dagon's flexible movement and steering. It couldn't hit the point of the spear directly, so it swung its claws away from the obvious threat. Dagon guessed this, and did not meet force with force with the bear lizard, and did not use grids, blocks or frames at all, but circled, plucked and slashed, using the spear tip as a blade to cut the bear lizard's claws.

Which claw is stretched out, cut that claw, this tactic has achieved good results. In just seven or eight rounds, the bear lizard's two front paws and one middle paw became drenched with blood, and it would groan in pain when stepped on the ground. Obviously, the bear lizard's mobility is greatly reduced, and the wild beast, which can't get up quickly and is not flexible enough, can only use its teeth to fight steel weapons, which is a disadvantage.

"Huh..." Dagon took a breath when he saw that the situation had turned towards him. "Bear Lizard, your defeat is set. I have to try to complete the hunter's trial and find my mount. I don't want to kill one before that. As long as you stop attacking, I will stop attacking, what do you think? ?"

Tormund has a bear lizard named Kuku, who is usually taken care of by Dagon, very docile and well-behaved, the key is to be able to understand the simple language of the Jiangu people. The bear lizard lives with its knight, and the god Auli forms and blesses this comrade-in-arms relationship, and at the same time gives the bear lizard a part of the intelligence to master simple common words.

Dagon knew that the bear lizard in front of him could understand some words, so he patiently persuaded him. According to the legend of the Jiangu people, if you kill the bear lizard, you will never be able to make another contract with the bear lizard. Without the bear lizard, you can't complete the trial, you can't be a hunter, and you will even miss the opportunity to choose a career as an adult ceremony. According to the current economic situation of Jiangu City, the next adult ceremony doesn't know when to do it, Dagon doesn't want to take risks at all.

He lowered his weapon, pointed the tip of his spear to the ground, then hit the ground and the blade deflected. The bear lizard stared at the head-hunting axe, first lowered its head and growled a few times, then lay down on the ground, sticking out its tongue to lick the wound, and only looked at Dagon from the corner of the eye. This was clearly a sign of a truce, and Dagon continued to back away, ready to get out of the fight altogether.

Suddenly, the bear lizard lifts the head, stared wide-eyed. Its eyes flickered for a moment, and then it became fierce, bent down and kicked the ground, and charged at Dagon again.

"Are you crazy?" Dagon didn't have time to figure out why the bear lizard went back on one's word. At this time, he focused on preventing the bear lizard from suddenly jumping to the side, so he didn't prop up his tail on the ground, and he didn't even want to start the "hard" rune.

The bear lizard did not bypass the side attack, but directly launched a frontal fly. "What's the matter, isn't this a death sentence?"

After such a question crossed my mind, I became more vigilant, so I could vaguely hear the wind behind my ears. Axe, it's the sound of axe flying, how could this be? Dagon has also practiced throwing axe and is quite familiar with the weapon that Jiangu clansman likes. He can even tell from the sound whether the blade of the axe is above or below the flight path. But this kind of discernment can't stop time, he has no time to block with his weapon, even more how the bear lizard is still ahead, that is also a terrifying threat!

The blood splashed, the bear lizard pressed the top, Dagon was directly smashed below, and a pool of blood spread outward. In the cave, a guy who should have died was still standing, and Balder was the only one still standing. His head was almost completely split, and was spliced in the middle with his hands, and the left and right halves were still misaligned. As for his chest, large streams of blood flowed from the open wound, making him look like a pressure pump.

A normal Jiangu clansman does not have this viability, so there is only one explanation, and it has manifested. From the seam between Balder's open chest and the two flaps of his head, it could be seen that some red web-like organs that were like cobwebs, but thicker and more ferocious than cobwebs, were sticking out. They all originated from a red walnut-shaped creature inside Balder's brain, the corpse, a rare and eerie monster.

The corpse itself is very weak, and its battle strength is slightly stronger than a raw egg. It is not actually a native monster, it is mainly the monster breath released by the underground movement, gathering on plant fruits or biological eggs, and the collection of dangerous consciousness generated by corruption. It hides in the core area of an egg or a fruit in disguise, expecting to be swallowed whole. After that, it has the opportunity to parasitize in the brain, slowly swallowing and controlling this person who does not pay attention to food hygiene.

Balder used to be very sloppy. He ate such a fruit during a hunting trip and became infected with the corpse demon. Through Balder's memory, the corpse demon knew that there was a shrine of the God of Oli in the city of Jiangu, so he did not dare to take the lead, and spent most of the time in suspended animation. It built a nest in Balder's brain, concentrated on accumulating nourishment and strength, and only really took over when Balder was on his head.

Only when riding a bear lizard to go out hunting, Balder will be on top of his head, and that is definitely not within the range of the Temple of Oli.

Finally, the corpse demon doesn't need to disguise anymore. Of course it can't be disguised.
