Darkening Guardian Knight

But with her persistence and hard work, this time was shortened to three days.

"The progress of mental power is estimated to be similar, and it's about to advance in three days." Kate calculated the time and whispered, "Is it just in time to leave the tower...It's useless to think so much, anyway, try your best now Bar!"

Thus, the black-haired girl began to immerse herself in her own cultivation methods, and to win a brighter future with the most tenacious will.

……

Three days passed by in a hurry. Most of the people had benefited from the Demon Refining Tower. Most of the students had been promoted, and quite a few were even promoted to a higher level. What's more, they took this opportunity to advance to two levels in a row.

"Joy, Flym." Seeing the two girls coming down from the second floor, Kate already felt something. In order to confirm her guess, she asked the two of them, "Are you two already at the second level?"

"Yes." Both of them gave an affirmative answer with bright smiles, "The Demon Refining Tower is really a magical place, and the upgrade speed is very fast. It would be great if I could stay in it all the time."

"Indeed, it's a pity that it's only three days, otherwise I would be able to advance to the fifth level in a few more days." At this time, Royed gritted his teeth and came out of the tower with a sullen expression on his face. "Tsk, the academy is really on time. Once the time is up, the tower will no longer be run. Without the pressure of spiritual power, the elemental power will gradually weaken. A tower with only empty shells is meaningless."

"Yeah." Kate also sighed and echoed, "But the rules are like this, it's fair to everyone, isn't it?"

"Well." Royard is not an ignorant person, although he feels regretful, he still accepts the reality.

He thought for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked Kate, "Kate, how do you feel after staying inside for three days? How many levels are you?"

"Well, I don't feel much, the level hasn't been raised, and I'm still in the middle of the first level." Kate said frankly, "But I don't think it's far from the upper level of the first level, and I can reach it in a few days."

"Uh!" Kate's words left Royard speechless. He was very depressed and said, "Why don't you feel depressed? Did you fail to upgrade with such a good opportunity? I'm already at the peak of the fourth level, and I'm five years away. It's only one step away!"

"I can't help it. My magic talent is really bad, so I can only do it at this speed. But I didn't waste this opportunity, and I learned a lot from it."

Kate shrugged her shoulders, calmly, and said truthfully, "And your fourth-level peak is not particularly extraordinary. If neither of us uses hole cards, I will still win the battle!"

"Oh? You're still so confident even though your martial arts cultivation is one level behind me?" Royed smiled, facing Kate, and raised the gauntlet, "Since you said so, why don't you go to the arena to learn from each other right away?"

"There's nothing wrong with sparring, but we'll have to wait a while." Kate walked over and stood between Joy and Flim, and turned to Royed, "Should I go eat something first? After staying in the Demon Refining Tower for so long, don't you want to fill your stomach?"

Kate's words reached everyone's heart.There is sufficient elemental power in the Demon Refining Tower, as long as one maintains the state of cultivation, no one will starve to death.

But even so, it can't satisfy the magician's appetite. When it's time to eat food, he still wants to eat it.

Even Royard couldn't help but admit that Kate was right, and agreed to have a big meal first.

So the four of them formed a team and ran all the way towards the college cafeteria.

No.40 Sophia

After all the students had left the tower, the man in the purple robe slowly appeared.He walked into the tower of refining demons, and went straight to the seventh floor.

Without the coercion of mental power, anyone should be able to reach this level.In fact, many people went to the seventh floor after the service of the Demon Refining Tower ended, wanting to see the appearance of the highest floor.

However, they failed, even though they were unimpeded all the way, they still failed to reach the top seventh floor.That's because on the sixth floor, they didn't find the stairs to the seventh floor at all!

Helpless, they couldn't find a way to the top floor, so these people had no choice but to get down from the tower of refining demons, and returned with regret.

"Hmph, those students are also naughty, and they actually have the idea of ​​​​the seventh floor. Should they be said to be ignorant, or bold?"

The purple-robed man Karius sneered as he climbed the tower, "Although there is a seventh floor in the Demon Refining Tower, there is a powerful guy living on that seventh floor. After all, it is the core of the Demon Refining Tower. Can let normal students go up."

"Hey, hey, it's actually not that powerful." When the man in purple robe laughed to himself, the voice that chatted with him in front of the tower appeared again, with a very proud tone, "It's just a little bit stronger than you."

"Tsk, you're still out of breath when you say hello." Karis shook her head and pouted, "Aren't you going to open the door on the seventh floor? Or are you going to stop me?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot..." The voice said with some embarrassment, "Wait a minute, I'll open it for you right away."

sough--

As soon as the voice fell, at the end of the sixth floor, where there was nothing at all, a staircase suddenly appeared, leading to the mysterious seventh floor.

Caris was not surprised by this, he had seen the same scene too many times, and he was indifferent.He walked up very calmly, and climbed to the seventh floor, which is a mystery in the minds of many students.

"Tsk, it's still so dark here, don't you plan to turn on a light or something?" Karis couldn't help complaining as soon as she reached the seventh floor.

Because it's too dark here to live in.

"Hmph, if you're not satisfied, you should bring a lamp yourself. You don't have to worry about me, Karis." In the darkness, the owner of that voice appeared for the first time.

Although there was no bright light, even though the man's figure was covered by a large purple magician's robe.

But it can still be vaguely seen that she is probably a beauty.

Karis smiled bitterly, did not answer this sentence, and kept silent.

The space on the seventh floor is so small that it can't even accommodate five people.But now there are only two people here, so it is naturally relatively empty.

However, this "emptiness" is only a relative term.

In fact, the distance between the two is very short and within reach.So it created a very ambiguous atmosphere.

"Then, that, what are you looking at, Sophia." Seeing that the owner of the voice ignored her, Karis poked her head, only to find that she was holding a big book, staring at the magic numbers that danced on the book Can't stop watching.So Caris asked curiously, wondering what she was looking at.

When the female magician called Sophia heard Karis's speech, she suddenly became frightened. Holding a big book in her arms, she climbed to the corner of the seventh floor of the Demon Refining Tower in an instant, curled up and shivered: "Carris, when did you come here? You didn't say anything. You know it's scary?"

Although I think Sophia looks cute at this time.

But Karius didn't want to be blamed for nothing. He pointed to the seventh-floor passage that was still open, and said to Sophia:

"You opened the door for me yourself. You did it yourself. Really, you can't do pranks like this. It's not good to wrong people for no reason."

"Ah, I was discovered." Sophia snickered, "It's the fault of you, Karis, for not speaking. I almost forgot your existence."

"All right, all right, it's my fault, how about I bring you some apple pie next time as compensation?" It's not the first time Caris comforted the little elf. When he said this, Sofia immediately smiled.

"Okay, okay, I'm looking forward to Carus's apple pie!"

"Speaking of which, what were you looking at just now? So fascinated... Could it be that the problem has found a solution?"

Karius thought about it, and suddenly thought he understood something, very excited, and asked Sofia expectantly.

"No." However, Sophia shook her head with a calm expression, "How can that problem be solved so easily? I just saw a funny thing."

"Fun thing? What is that?" Karis became interested when he heard this.

At their level, there are really not many things that can be called fun, and Karius knows that Sophia's experience is far richer than his own, so he is even more curious. What kind of things can make Sophia feel fun?

"You will know about this matter sooner or later, so there will be no charge." Sophia opened the big book in her arms, tapped her finger to reveal the contents on the page, "Here, this is the consumption account of the Demon Refining Tower. Anyway, if you want to report back later, just copy a copy."

"Are you planning to charge for the co-author?" Karis laughed and complained at first, but when he saw the "bill" for consumption, he suddenly couldn't laugh.

"Sophia...you're not mistaken, are you? Are you sure you didn't secretly use up the college's resources for reimbursement?"

Karius looked at the female magician with a bitter face and said, "Oh my God, the consumption on this bill is more than twice that of previous years. This is the consumption of a ninth-level forbidden curse mage! How could a group of students who are less than seventh-level cause such a large consumption?"

"Don't look at me, it would be so obvious if I steal resources?" Sophia shrugged, "How about it, isn't it interesting?"

"Ah, yes, it's very interesting!" Karis' complexion was distorted, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger. "How could a student absorb so much natural elemental power! This is absolutely abnormal, and there must be something tricky in it!"

"Hmm, maybe it's the effect of some kind of magic item... Although the use of magic is prohibited in the alchemy tower, some safe magic items are excluded."

Sophia analyzed, "If you think about it again, it's actually not a difficult task, as long as you keep consuming and replenishing your magic power in the Demon Refining Tower. In this way, the speed of magic cultivation will be faster than normal cultivation."

"Well, what you said makes sense, but this kind of consumption, isn't that student using that method to cultivate all the time? It's really unbearable to consume the magic power in the empty body so many times."

Caris calmed down. He had to admit that Sophia's analysis made sense, but he knew the feeling of running out of magic power, the disgusting feeling of being uncontrolled.

If he could, he wouldn't want to bear it once, and he couldn't believe that any of the students could keep that feeling all the time.

If this is true, it would be terrible. This student definitely has an inhuman will, otherwise he would definitely collapse midway.

"It doesn't have to be every moment. If you are a fourth or fifth grade student, you can reach this amount in twelve hours a day."

Sophia thought for a while and said, "If it was done by that student with pure physique, it would take less time."

"It's not him." On this point, Karius can firmly object, "He is not this type of person. Although the third prince is a genius, he lacks this kind of spirit. With his willpower, it would be good if he can drain his magic power once without fainting."

"Well, I believe in your eyes. In short, if you report to the old guys above, my work will be completed. As for other things, let those old guys worry about it."

Sophia giggled, her eyes glowed with rare brilliance, "But I'm curious, the genius who can think of such a method in the Demon Refining Tower, I really want to see it..."

No.40 The second battle in three quarters

When Royard and Kate went to the school cafeteria, some students were already queuing up.But among the freshmen, they are the earliest to come.So it didn't take long for the four of them to enjoy a tempting and luxurious meal.

By the way, as there was only one gentleman present, Royard, the young-haired youth buried the bill for the last meal.

Of course, Royard himself didn't care. His background meant that he would not be short of money.

The delicious meal after fatigue made everyone feel happy physically and mentally, and then Royard made another request to fight Kate, saying that it was an after-dinner exercise.

This time Kate agreed without saying much, because there was no reason to refuse.

She knew that Royard was actually a realist.

If I don't show him some skills, I am afraid that the relationship between myself and him will not be as harmonious as it is today.

So the crowd wandered to the arena and asked the administrator there to rent a private dueling platform.

Of course, this would cost a lot of money, but this duel was originally proposed by Royard, and he also paid the so-called venue rental fee responsibly.

It is not the first time that Kate has stood on this ring.In the past month, she has stood in the ring several times in order to hone her combat skills and make money.Maybe she has more combat experience than Lloyd.

But Royard is not Mengxin either. Kate remembers that when they first met, this young-haired boy killed a person very violently. This guy was not a good person at all.

According to the rules, before the start of the battle, both sides stood on the edge of the ring, separated by nearly 50 meters.This is to allow the mage to have time to cast, otherwise, once entering close combat, the mage basically has no chance.

"Hey, Kate. Don't you have a saber?" Royard was a little surprised to see the black-haired girl go into battle in light clothes.

He knew that Kate used a sword as her main weapon, and seeing that she didn't use a sword now, he couldn't help but feel unhappy, as if he was underestimated: "If you don't have one, I can ask someone to get one for you."

However, Kate shook her head, rejected his offer, and said, "No need, Lloyd. My sword, this is enough."

As she said that, she condensed the magic power in her hands, and used the technique of "magic power coagulation" to transform into a sword of spatial magic power to fight.

"Is this... really okay?" Lloyd smiled wryly, "If you didn't know your character, I really think you are here to mock me. The product of magic power congealing has no entity, are you sure you want to use it?"

"Yeah." Kate said with a sword in hand, "It's okay, this is a strategy I came up with after I really learned space magic, but it's the first time I use it today, so I don't know if I can use it to the best."

"It's the first time I used it... Hey, forget it, since you have some confidence, I'll just wait and see." Royed was also helpless, but he felt that Kate's moves were definitely not nonsense. He knew that this black-haired girl was actually very talented, and might have a whimsical idea.

Flym was the referee, not Joey, mainly because the little girl didn't know the basic rules.

However, the red-haired girl was also a referee for the first time, and she looked a little uneasy. She looked at both sides in embarrassment, and said cautiously: "Uh, well, if both sides are ready... then the duel is about to start?"

Seeing that both sides nodded their heads slightly, Flimm finally gave the order to start the battle with a loud cry: "The duel begins!"

No.40 The second battle in four quarters

brush!

As always, Kate took the pre-emptive tactic, but in fact, this is the most classic and effective strategy in the warrior vs. magician battle.

Because compared to long-distance attack, melee combat is the kingly way for warriors to win. Magicians' melee combat ability is limited after all, and they cannot really resist the warrior's attack.

However, Lloyd is already a magician at the peak of the fourth level, and can use some of the most basic instant magic.

The moment Kate attacked, he completed a wind blade and cut towards the black-haired girl.

However, this wind blade is too low-level, even Kate's condensed sword can cut it off easily, and it can't stop Kate's progress at all.

Royard didn't intend to block Kate with a single blow of wind blade, he knew how powerful this black-haired girl was.Therefore, more powerful magic has been prepared and ready for battle.

I saw the young-haired boy take out a turquoise crystal stone, and at the same time chanted a spell quickly, it seemed that he was going to cast an unusual magic.

But Kate was faster. Before Royard finished reciting the incantation, she had arrived, swung the sword of space magic power, and just cut it down!

Royard will not be so careless, he has already arranged the means of prevention.When Kate's sword was about to hit his head, suddenly a whirlwind blew under his feet, forcing Kate to take a few steps back.

"Is it basic magic, whirling wind?" Kate was a little surprised when she didn't know when Lloyd used such magic.

But she didn't panic, stepped on steadily, and shot back at Royard, "Whirlwind of the Wind is a one-time defensive magic, it can only be blocked for a moment."

"One moment is enough." Royard laughed and responded, "My magic has been completed, I wonder if I can be safe under this magic? Kate."

"What?" Kate was startled. She saw dozens of windy chains suddenly appearing around Royard in front of her, and each chain had thorns in the front.

Like dozens of pythons with fangs rushing towards her, it was unstoppable.

At such a close distance, it is basically impossible to avoid completely, so Kate can only do her best to avoid getting hurt.

At this time, the disadvantages of the magic sword appeared. A sword without a substance could not stop these whirlwind chains at all, and it was completely cumbersome.

However, with the penetrating power of these chains, Kate felt that ordinary iron swords were useless. Everything in front of it was like white paper, and would be torn to pieces once touched.

There is no doubt that what Royard casts is a general-level magic, and it is a general-level magic that is fully used with the peak cultivation base of the fourth level!

In less than three seconds of contact with these magic chains, Kate was almost completely defeated. The newly changed clothes were ruthlessly torn by these whirlwind chains, and the flesh inside was also cut, revealing scars that ooze blood. It looks very embarrassing.
