The walker from Xingyue, Demon King Rimuru!

It's not that they are not magicians, but because they lack magic ability, but they have the ability to rely on equipment, rich experience, etc. to defeat high-level monsters and enter this level of diggers.

On the contrary, magicians in light clothes usually either have magic abilities comparable to professors and can already use magic to form absolute protection without these external armors, or they are... rookie with less experience.

"Captain, do you feel something is wrong?"

A gust of wind blew away the mist that appeared faintly in front of everyone. Looking at the silent environment around them, they always felt a little weird.

"Yeah, captain, it's too quiet, and...the fog..."

"Is there any monster on the 47th floor that can cast dense fog?"

Seeing that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, the captain knew something was wrong no matter how stupid he was, he frowned and asked everyone.

But after a few seconds, when there was still no answer from his side, he came back to his senses as if he had thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him...

I can only see thick and tumbling white mist everywhere, where are the shadows of other diggers?

Not far from the entrance of the gloomy 47th floor, two magicians with tattered clothes frantically ran towards the adjacent magic corridor, but behind them, a thick vine was chasing after them. He entangled the two of them and dragged them back!

"Ahhh! Let me go! Let me go..." A magician struggled desperately, the magic circuit under his eyes appeared due to the proper operation, and the bursting magic power burst out in front of him, and a trace of thunder crackled in a daze. The vines were blasted open a gap, but then, under Limulu's control, branches were roughly inserted into his body, and they began to impatiently absorb them.

Soon, his body began to shrivel up, and his whole body took on a withered black color. The other magician who saw this scene was terrified, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "My... my lord, please forgive me! "

He is really desperate.

From the moment he stepped into this floor, he and another magician noticed something was wrong with his teammates, and even deviated from the original route——

More than a dozen companions seemed to have completely lost consciousness, only knowing to move forward in a daze, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance of flowers.

They realized that there was an ambush in the middle, and they were magicians who were proficient in charm!

At that moment, they wanted to evacuate immediately, because since the other party dared to set up an ambush at the entrance of the 47th floor and was not afraid of accidentally injuring others, it was obviously aimed at them, or in other words, this was an attack by hostile excavators or even a family Maybe!

In this case, the best way is to immediately abandon the partner who was caught in the trap, flee back to report the reason for the leakage of the whereabouts and... to take revenge on the other party, rather than trying to save the partner.

Because, since the other party has set up an ambush, it means that this place has become the other party's magic workshop.

To fight against an unknown magician who is ready to complete the magic workshop without preparation is tantamount to courting death!

In fact, they were indeed looking for death.

But that's because of their self-confidence and the quality of not being able to abandon their companions!

Awakening the enchanted companions rashly may cause them great pain and irreversible damage, but it is better than losing their lives, so when the two were planning to perform magic—— after observing, Limuru confirmed that The two of them were also rookie queens, and they did not hesitate to launch their counterattacks——

Huaxiang, which possesses psychedelic abilities, is not a major combat ability at all, it is just a small passive in the battle of the tree demon.

What is truly terrifying are the seeds spawned by the dryad!

Welcome to...the Devil's Forest!

The Forest of Devils is the name given by the magicians to the inherent enchantment produced by the gathering of herdsmen. In fact, it is nothing more than an absolutely distorted field formed by hundreds of large-scale thorn magic, thus causing something similar to the spirit The same changes inside Tomb Albion formed a domain-like existence.

Limuru still prefers to call it the Arrival of the Tree Realm, and he doesn't know why... Maybe, it's just because he likes it.

Chapter 154, Lina who killed the first time and... the magic engraved branch?

When twisted devil vines covered the entire land, sprouts quickly grew into giant trees over two meters high, opening ferocious mouths and empty eyes.

The Devil's Forest can turn dozens of miles around into a Devil's Forest manipulated by herders at will, because it is essentially an inherent enchantment, so it will not be affected by the environment-however, the Devil's Forest is based on groups of people For the magic released, it is conceivable that when Limulu uses it alone, the magic power that needs to be consumed must increase by ten times, or even dozens of times.

So, is he really working so hard to release this level of magic just to deal with this group of rookie magicians?

of course not.

"Sure enough, the effect of mystery itself on the magic of the Age of Gods is much greater than the magic system developed by humans..."

Limuru ignored the other magician's begging for mercy. He flicked his hand and indifferently turned the other magician into the forest's rations, then fell into deep thought again.

"It's not so much that the mysterious prosperity affects the power of the Age of Gods spell, it's better to say...the Age of Gods spell has the most basic release conditions."

Limulu spread out her hands and looked at the parasitic seeds in her hands.

"It doesn't matter how much mystery an individual possesses. The structure of the spell directly depends on the degree of mystery in the world. In other words, if this spell is used by ordinary magicians on the ground, it may only grow a piece of magic. Little grass seedling?"

This conclusion made Rimuru sigh.

According to this statement, then the ending of Xingyue World should be doomed to be a tragedy for magicians.

Mystery is a concept, not a resource that can be used. Limulu originally thought that the so-called fading of mystery in Xingyue World was similar to the exhaustion of aura, so magicians would fight for this resource. scramble.

But now it seems that... the mysterious decline is like a retreat of civilization, an unstoppable torrent.

This also means that if we continue to deny the existence of the Age of Gods and insist on the progress of the development of human civilization, one day the mystery will really disappear completely...

Rimuru more or less understood those magicians who wished to return the Age of Gods at the cost of denying the achievements of human efforts for thousands of years.

……

When Limuru was thinking about the esoteric question of the future of the Lunar World, except for the two magicians who were solved by Limuru himself, the others were bewitched by the illusion of the Devil's Forest almost without any resistance. The weak chicken has already come to Lena and Carter.

They were blind-eyed and allowed themselves to be slaughtered—they stood obediently where they were.

Just kill like this?

Seeing this situation, Lina was a little dazed. She knew that because of her weak strength, Rimuru-sama would subdue the opponent before letting her make up the knife, but she didn't expect it to be this way.

To be honest, the psychological pressure of killing an enemy who is full of hatred for you is not the same as killing someone who is completely unresponsive.

Carter behind him turned his head silently, lowering his eyes and not wanting to watch the scene.

He is hands-free.

In Rimuru-sama's words: "What about you, you can do it voluntarily, because I only ask you for one thing from the beginning to the end, and that is to fulfill your knight code and use your life to ensure her safety. La!"

"It's just that Lina has to go through this hurdle."

Most of the time, Limuru doesn't mind maintaining his gentleness and kindness, but when it comes to his own plans or a certain position, everyone can see the endless indifference in his eyes.

"You may think that this kind of thing doesn't mean anything, but it's really important to give up the bottom line." His voice was gentle, but his words were like endless cold wind: "I don't mind how you deal with it in the future, but at least you have to prove to I see you did it once."

"This can ensure that when you encounter similar situations in the future, such as innocent people in hostile factions, or even children... you will rationally consider whether to kill or let go."

People's rationality is often not as firm as they think, especially in the first situation.

Lina is a gifted child, Rimuru has always thought so.

Just like the kinder the heart is, the stronger it will be after being blackened—a character willing to stick to kindness, once stepping into the first step of the abyss, you can be more determined to give up the bottom line for the goal.

Of course, Lina is not a saint who perseveres for the sake of kindness, after all, she has long ago died in order to survive by whatever means... But it is not enough.

Limulu settled the matter on the other side, yawned silently, and walked back—since she decided to do evil, Limulu didn't want to see any hesitation born of kindness from the other party.

After all!

As a boss, no one wants an employee who sticks to the bottom line, but only... an employee who can work hard for him and earn enough money for him by whatever means.

Carter was turning his back to Lina and looking in another direction in a daze, just in time to see Limuru who came back.

So he turned his head and glanced at the scene, and found that Lina was still standing silently and hesitantly in front of the dozen or so prisoners. After all, he didn't have the courage to speak out, and was swallowed by him again.

There was no way - when he left the Harkush family, he was already extremely guilty. He felt that he had failed the patriarch's upbringing, so he vowed to fulfill his oath and follow the legendary magician even if he sacrificed his life for it.

Not to mention that Limuru had been kind to him not long ago, saving the Konoji family who were in trouble.

"..."

Alas, Hescart sighed slightly in his heart, and began to pretend to be dead.

Both of them were silent, and Limuru was not in a hurry, he simply sat aside quietly, and continued to experiment and study magic on his own, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Limulu intends to give Lina 5 minutes. If 5 minutes is not enough, Limulu will not blame anything. At most, she will be disappointed with her and find another agent.

If it doesn't work, just send one from the ground, um... besides Sasha, he still has quite a few capable people under him.

And Sasha absolutely cannot leave him, after all, his current good life really depends on this almighty maid.

As time passed by, Lina seemed unaware of Limulu's return, and was still entangled in the battle between heaven and man in her mind.

How long did I struggle with eating people for the first time?

Hmm...it doesn't seem to be bothered? !Limulu sighed, secretly cursing herself for having no bottom line.

But it seems that I can't blame myself, only the education I have received?Although he didn't spit at will since he was a child, he was polite to others, and he didn't litter the garbage, let alone do bad things.

But even those things seemed to be reduced to the word "cultivation" in the mouth of his billionaire father.

That's right, as his child, as the sole heir of the group, he must possess these accomplishments.

When he was a child, he bullied someone in school, and when his father found out, he slapped him and gave him a lesson, telling him that he must never be bullying, criticizing every wrong thing he did, and the reason.

As his child, he must have high quality.

As for why Limulu dared to conclude that his father was not because of his sense of justice, it was because that classmate never showed up again from the next day because he was forced to transfer schools.

Eh?Speaking of which, why am I thinking about this?

Limulu was a little silent. The waiting time was boring. During the acceleration of the great sage's thinking, Limulu was rarely distracted. To be honest, he was a little homesick.

Although his father is a complete villain in his mind, the relationship between father and son is approaching freezing point - almost relying on his mother as a mouthpiece.

But in the end...it was his father who had raised him for more than 20 years.

He raised his head, opened his eyes and looked at Lina, who had slowly pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist as a card face, and raised his hand tremblingly.

Seeing this, Limulu felt a little soft-hearted and entangled.

What's the matter with this damn feeling that you obviously want the other party to transform, but you want the other party to maintain this innocence?

Gee!

I don't know if my father was the same way back then. He hoped that he would become a talent, but he was afraid that he would become the same person as him?Maybe...it's the contradiction of wanting to control everything, but being able to stick to the bottom line.

"Trouble." Limulu whispered helplessly, raised his head and said, "If you can't do it, forget it."

He narrowed his eyes and said with a chuckle: "Anyway, I don't like the Fighting faction who always cleans up the hostile faction. Even if there is a related demand, you don't need to do it yourself in the future."

Limuru's words perfectly expressed Hescart's thoughts. Hearing this, he suddenly had courage in his heart, and nodded quickly: "That's great—Master Lina, you don't have to worry—"

puff!

The sound of the sword entering the body was extremely clear. After Lina heard Carter's voice, she gritted her teeth instantly and ruthlessly inserted the dagger into the opponent's neck.

So, with blood splattering out and Carter's voice cut off, the other party suddenly woke up from the charm, looked at the pretty face with clenched teeth in astonishment, covered his neck, and faltered He stretched out his hand ferociously, wanting to grab Lena...

This scene made Limulu raise his eyebrows, feeling a little distressed for the other party.

To be honest, being stabbed in the throat with a knife usually results in severed trachea or excessive blood loss from nearby arteries, but this way of dying... er, how should I put it.

It's very uncomfortable.

Don't look at those TV dramas where a sword wipes the throat and so on, it looks cool and dripping, but for a dead person, it usually twitches and feels uncomfortable for a long time...

In fact, it would be much better if a sword pierced through the throat, because that would have a certain chance of directly injuring the spine, leading to a direct loss of consciousness, um... the kind that is no different from direct beheading.

But what did Lina say, just now she was sideways... That is to say, she directly inserted the dagger from the side of the person's shoulder with both hands...

This scene, the unprofessional technique makes Limuru feel uncomfortable just watching it...

Lina seemed to be aware of her miss, and when the blow missed the vital point, she rushed forward and stabbed several times——

Hescart watched this scene in astonishment, and watched Lena panting and paralyzed after killing the first person. After a few seconds, she began to calm down and walked towards the second person.

It is often difficult to break through the psychological defense line for the first time when killing people.

When she broke through the line of defense, Lina opened her eyes, and the indifference in her eyes returned again, as if her current actions could no longer trouble her, she took a deep breath!

This time, soon!

The knife went in and out, and the blood splashed on Lina's face, which was blocked by a layer of invisible magic——

Her behavior became more and more proficient, and her speed became faster and faster. When it came to the last girl, she was almost quite skillful and cut the dagger directly to the opponent's throat——

Pfft!

The last corpse fell to the ground, Lina quietly looked at the corpses on the ground, and suddenly... let out a sigh of relief, and felt a little nauseous, but fortunately, she had seen countless corpses before. This time, the feeling of wanting to vomit is not due to nausea, but simply because of discomfort in the heart, or the nausea caused by tension and pressure.

Carter looked at the corpses in astonishment. He was fine. Although Carter was as stubborn as a certain knight, as a high-level digger, he had killed many people himself.

However, he couldn't understand: "Why...why? Didn't Master Rimuru say that they can be let go?"

Ok?When did I say I would let them go?

Limulu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, I just said that I can do it myself, okay? !

He was about to speak—
