I have a Synthesizer

#338 - The First Battle of Deloch

Everyone first dispersed and then began to collect information about Cold Crow in the city. As a border city, Lymtor has a very strong defensive force.

When Klein and the others inquired about Cold Crow Di Locke, the news quickly reached the ears of the local army.

Alfonso, the garrison officer of Lymtor, became interested in them and took the initiative to meet with Becky, the captain. Moreover, Alfonso did not stand on his status, and the two sides met in a small tavern.

"Miss Becky, are you here to hunt Di Locke?"

Becky was not flustered and nodded.

"Yes, Lord Alfonso, we are here to hunt Di Locke and are collecting its information."

Alfonso didn't care too much about Becky's strength, because he also knew that if the other party dared to come here to hunt Di Locke, they must have powers he didn't know about.

However, Lymtor was not a person who didn't do practical things. He collected a lot of Di Locke's information, and then made several copies. When mercenaries or monster hunters arrived, he would take the initiative to send a copy, just like Klein and the others.

"This is detailed information about Di Locke, including its approximate eating habits, habitat, and watering points. I hope it can be helpful to you."

"Thank you very much, Lord Alfonso." Becky nodded very sincerely, after all, it was already benevolent for someone to take the initiative to help you.

Klein was a little surprised that he could get Di Locke's detailed information so quickly.

However, after seeing the actual content of the information, he felt棘手. Di Locke's range of movement was too huge, and they basically didn't have a good direction to search.

Because Di Locke may not enter the country and forage in the monster area outside the country, they simply did not wait for the rabbit in one place.

Lilith glanced at Di Locke's information and frowned: "Looks like it's a bit troublesome!"

"Well, from the current point of view, finding its nest may be the quickest solution."

"Ayrhuria?"

Klein nodded, but this time the situation at the Summit of the World was very different. Last time I went, I was only a third-order strength, and basically relied on Agatha to fly me up. This time, I really have to climb up by myself.

Klein put away the map and information. "Prepare yourself, we are going to the Summit of the World."

...

Because there were no trains or horses to ride, Klein and the others could only move by relying on their respective abilities.

When Dou Qi or magic power dropped below 50%, they would stop to rest and maintain their respective combat effectiveness.

This situation lasted for 3 days before the group arrived at the foot of the Summit of the World.

Staying at the foot of the mountain, they built a few simple snow shelters and constructed a lookout barrier before the group began to rest. They wanted to restore themselves to a good state before climbing the mountain.

With Klein present, there was no problem with starting a fire. Even if the temperature was very low and normal combustion and cooking were impossible, Klein could also use the synthesizer to create food.

Just as the group was eating, Eric suddenly reminded them:

"Don't move! There's something."

The group immediately took out their weapons. Although they didn't find anything, no one would shoot an arrow without a target in this environment.

"Under the snow, be careful."

A white monster broke out of the snow and grabbed the piece of meat in Klein's hand. Klein was stunned.

"Snow troll? Why is it so thin!"

This is a kind of 2-3 level gregarious monster. Since it has appeared, there must be more than one.

Klein drew his sword casually and slashed off the snow troll's head with one sword. The situation of the others was similar. They all solved the snow trolls in two or three strokes.

After a little inspection of the corpses of these snow trolls, it can be found that they are very thin. At first glance, they have been in a state of long-term malnutrition, which is a bit strange.

And their purpose of actively attacking Klein and his party, wanting to grab food, is also very obvious.

"How can a second-order monster be so hungry?"

As soon as Eric finished speaking, a violent freezing ray fell from the sky. In this cold and snowy environment, the power of the freezing ray has been geometrically amplified.

A strong sense of crisis appeared in Eric's heart, and he quickly put a shield of truth on himself to resist the freezing ray.

Although Eric's strength was good, the power of this freezing ray was obviously beyond his ability to withstand. Just as he was about to be frozen into an ice cube, Klein took action.

"Flame Blast!"

"Boom!"

The Flame Blast exploded in the air, immediately repelling the freezing bird flying in the sky, and also blocking the freezing ray it spewed.

This freezing bird is very different from ordinary freezing birds. The color of ordinary freezing birds is sky blue, and their bodies are like ice crystals.

Although most of the feathers of the freezing bird in front of him are also sky blue, part of its body is covered with purple crystals.

Its eyes were cunning and fierce. When it looked at Klein from a distance, it showed a look similar to human provocation and ridicule. At this glance, Klein knew that the freezing bird in front of him was Di Locke.

"Its IQ is very high, very smart, and it is provoking me."

"Ya!"

Just as Klein was speaking, Di Locke let out a piercing cry towards the snow mountain.

The snow mountain, which had been unstable due to Klein's Fireball explosion, collapsed under Dilok's high-frequency sonic vibrations.

"Avalanche!"

Klein secretly thought it was bad. He was the only one in the team with fire abilities. He had to dispel the Frost Aerie's ice from Eric, otherwise Eric's strength would not be enough to dispel the chill.

"I'll do it!"

Joe immediately activated his King of Decay form. The descending black flame giant skeleton blocked the avalanche for Klein and the others, using the power of shadow to corrode the surrounding snowflakes and protect their safety.

The snow dust gradually dissipated, and Klein looked up at the sky again, but Dilok's shadow was nowhere to be seen.

"Did it leave? I didn't expect to run into the main character so soon after arriving here."

Klein pulled up Eric, who was almost frozen stiff.

"Was that Dilok just now? Very strong, not an ordinary Tier 5 magic beast!"

Lilith also sensed the extraordinary nature of this Frost Aerie. Compared to the three-headed snake they had faced in the lake before, the Frost Aerie was not on the same level at all.

Klein didn't say anything. He began to carefully examine the corpse of a snow troll, and finally found some purple crystals on the skin outside the snow troll's heart, identical to those on the Frost Aerie.

"What is this?"

"I don't know. Becky, go see if the others have anything similar."

"Yes!"

Upon receiving Klein's order, Becky immediately turned around and checked the condition of the other snow trolls, just as Klein had predicted.

All of these snow trolls had some purple crystals in the area of their hearts. The thinner snow trolls had fewer, while the stronger ones had more.

"Klein, did you find anything?"

Klein nodded and stated his judgment.

"These purple crystals should be Void Energy crystals. Cold Crow Dilok is covered in these crystals. Void Energy has brought it tremendous power, and has also caused its body to mutate.

I don't know what it was contaminated by, but the fact that it hasn't died at this level can only mean that it has assimilated into a Void creature.

These snow trolls should have been enslaved by Dilok using Void Energy. Although it's not a clever method, it is effective. These snow trolls are all in a state of malnutrition, indicating that they haven't been foraging for a long time.

And this crude method of enslavement cannot accept detailed commands, so after these snow trolls received Dilok's order to attack us, their first reaction was to snatch our food, rather than attacking our bodies directly."

Hearing Klein's analysis, the others felt a chill in their hearts, and the previous sense of ease vanished.

With both Klein and Lilith present, using a trick to divert their attention and then sneak attacking Eric, the whole process was smooth and seamless.

If they didn't have a fire-type mage like Klein, or if Eric's own strength was weaker, then he would have already become an ice sculpture.

"A Cold Crow that knows how to use tricks! It's really frightening!"

Eric, who had recovered his condition, took a sip of strong liquor. The spicy liquor helped him stay calm.

Joe and Becky also nodded to each other. Unlike the ambush on Farkas before, they had defeated Farkas by taking advantage of the timing, terrain, and personnel.

The pre-set environment, coupled with Agatha's sneak attack, and Farkas being affected by the magic spirit, resulted in the perfect kill.

But Dilok was different. The Summit of the World was its home field. In the snowy and icy environment, its abilities were greatly amplified, its mobility was extremely high, it could also enslave other magic beasts, and its own strength was exceptionally strong. Such an opponent was really difficult to deal with.

"What do we do now? Klein!"

Klein lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Dilok already knows of our existence. The environment here is too advantageous for it. It can easily observe our movements, but we have no way to track it. The idea of setting a trap is impossible to achieve.

Therefore, our goal remains unchanged. Let's first climb to the top of Aileluya, rest there, and then consider a new battle plan."

"Yes!"

Klein's voice was not small, because in the instant he made eye contact with Dilok, an idea arose in his mind. He felt that Dilok might be able to understand what they were saying.

That's why he directly stated his goal of climbing to the top of Aileluya, in order to let Dilok hear it.

If Dilok wanted to attack them, with the intelligence of this mutated Cold Crow, it would definitely attack at the most difficult point during the climb. At that time, it would be Klein and the others' chance to counterattack.

Without wasting too much time, the five people started climbing again.

On another mountain peak, behind an ice wall, Dilok was coldly watching Klein and his group. Klein's attack just now had made it feel danger, so it retreated.

But these few people also aroused its interest. As a top-tier Tier 5 magic beast, even when facing many super-tier magic beasts, even if it couldn't win, it had the capital to escape.

Having entrenched itself in the Summit of the World area for many years, Dilok hadn't encountered anything that interested it for a long time.

It tilted its head, thinking about how to kill Klein and the others. Its gaze first looked at Eric, then at Joe, and finally locked onto Becky, and then it leaped forward, flying towards this snowy mountain.

Today my dad's fingers were broken by glass. Now I have to go see.

Tomorrow normal updates, maybe late, maybe not.
