The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 015: Crushing Bones and Spreading Ashes
Roger is very fast.
He was like a nimble goat, rising and falling, jumping, and moving swiftly on the hillside.
Some of the skeleton soldiers noticed this daring adventurer.
They carried their crude weapons and headed towards the mountain, ready to stop him.
But their response was indeed too slow.
Roger didn't even need to use the Cloud and Smoke Steps. He just relied on the running speed bonus of Xiayin and passed by them in a flash.
puff!
He stepped on the hard stone, then jumped high and rushed deeper into the skeleton soldiers' formation like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep.
Next second.
He raised the back of his hand slightly, and the ninth spell that he had recited long ago instantly ignited the power of the suicide ring!
Second level spell——"Extreme Burning Storm"!
There was a dull thud.
Three tornadoes of astonishing fire rose from the ground, with Roger as the center, constantly growing and spreading!
Those blazing tongues of fire seemed like vicious monsters from hell, mercilessly drawing the skeleton soldiers into them.
In the blink of an eye, they were burned to ashes and flew into the sky!
It was dusk at this moment, and due to the terrain, the wind was strong at the pass.
In this passionate blend of wind and fire, I wonder how many skeleton soldiers were ruthlessly wiped out!
The setting sun gradually disappears in the sky.
The fire on the ground is still burning.
…
"You have killed 1 Skeleton Soldier. The total number of Skeleton Soldier killed has reached 100. You have achieved a new milestone: Grind to Ashes!"
"You gained 1 XP"
"Your fear resistance is slightly increased."
…
Surrounded by super-high temperature magical flames, Roger was in a pretty good mood and even had the mood to look through his new milestones.
…
"Grinding to Ashes (C-level Milestone)"
[How to obtain: Completely crush the bodies and souls of 100 enemies in any form]
「Reward: 1 Milestone Point」
"Next stage: Completely crush the bodies and souls of 1,000 enemies in any form."
"Note: It is necessary to crush every enemy to dust, after all, it is too risky to bet that they will not be resurrected on the spot."
…
This remark touched Roger's heart.
He decided to make crushing bones and scattering ashes a hard and fast target for dealing with every enemy in the future, without any ambiguity.
This also makes it easier to accumulate milestone points.
"No wonder everyone envies mages. It feels so good to gain experience just by standing there and killing monsters."
"But... Extreme Burning Storm is good in every way, except that it's a little hot."
Although the fire tornado continued to spread outward, Roger was still affected.
He is immune to the magical damage of the Burning Storm, but still feels very hot.
Fortunately, he had applied "cold fish fat" on his clothes in advance to prevent fire.
Otherwise, when the extreme burning storm burns out, he might be left naked.
…
Taking advantage of the fire, the members of the expedition team also took the opportunity to gather together.
They tightened their formation and drew a clear line between themselves and the chaotic skeletons.
Watching the expanding fire tornado.
There was only shock on everyone's faces.
"Roger...what's his occupation?"
Terry couldn't help but ask.
Dorothy was also confused: "I always thought he was a ranger."
Terry shook his head and said, "Definitely not a Ranger."
"Only the legendary 'True Dragon Warlock' can be fearless of fire!"
Dorothy opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She always thought that she was the person who knew Roger best in the town, but she didn't expect that she didn't even know his occupation!
"No wonder he was able to defeat the Red Tide zombies single-handedly."
Terry took off his helmet and put it on his waist, staring at the center of the Extreme Fire Storm:
"But... has he always been so high-profile?"
The others shook their heads.
Dorothy bit her lip , "No."
"This happened after killing the Red Tide Corpse."
"I don't quite understand..."
Terry smiled softly:
"I see."
"Huh?" Dorothy was confused.
"You haven't reacted yet?"
Terry put on his helmet again and wiped his sword which was covered with bone powder:
"He's leaving!"
Dorothy was stunned for a moment.
Because in this world, leaving means it will be difficult to meet again.
She had seen too many adventurers leave Tongma Town and head to the Jewel City, embarking on the thorny road to pursue their dreams, and she never saw them again.
"Because I'm leaving, I can do whatever I want."
“Perhaps today, we will have the honor to witness his true strength.”
"Come on, everyone! We can't hold Roger back!"
Terry raised his two-handed sword with a solemn expression.
The next moment, he charged towards the remaining skeleton soldiers.
Everyone immediately shouted and followed.
…
Under the suppression of the extreme burning storm, the Skeleton Corps disintegrated at the speed of light.
The roar coming from the dark tunnel became louder and louder, but no monster came out.
Roger swept his eyes across the entire battlefield, but still found no trace of the corpse demon.
This is not surprising.
The other party has a substitute magic pattern that can conceal the qi-seeing technique, so it will definitely not be so easy to be discovered.
"Um?"
At this moment, Roger suddenly noticed something unusual.
Some floating particles appeared on the surface of the body of the stitched monster that was stabbed by Dorothy.
Soon, the particles became more and more numerous.
Under the light of the fire and the setting sun, a crystal clear and eerie blue color appeared.
"Such a rich crystal of magic power."
The strong warning from the Qi-Watching Technique made Roger focus all his attention on these abnormal magic crystals.
Generally speaking, this kind of high-concentration magic crystal will only appear in magic professions that are about to advance!
"The corpse demon!"
As soon as this thought came to mind, the belly of the Stitched Monster was torn apart from the inside out by a dark blue claw.
Puff puff puff!
The claw was stained with green pus and red blood, and looked very disgusting.
Very quickly.
A strange creature that was half ghost and half skeleton crawled out of the Stitched Monster's stomach.
Its appearance is really not flattering:
The humanoid appearance, the lower body has completely become a ghost, but the upper body still has half of the ribs and sternum;
The two arms extending from the shoulder blades were extremely short, and the palms had degenerated into bird claws covered with a blue film;
Its head is huge, taking up one-third of its body size;
The translucent skull seemed to be forcibly stretched open, and burning will-o'-the-wisp fire was hidden in the empty eye sockets.
More and more magic crystals came from all directions and attached themselves to the will-o'-the-wisp.
"What a surprise! An adventurer from Touma Town."
A sharp voice came from its hollow chest:
"What a pity... you don't even know what you are facing!"
Before he finished speaking, a strong sense of majesty gushed out from the monster.
All the adventurers who were fighting staggered involuntarily.
"Is this...level suppression?"
Terry couldn't help but mutter to himself.
In their perception.
The pressure from this monster is becoming stronger and stronger!
The storm is dying down.
Roger walked out slowly and retrieved his equipment.
"Qi-gazing technique!"
He locked onto the bloody monster.
As magic crystals continue to emerge, the relevant data of monsters is also constantly jumping and refreshing!
…
"Shira Demon Lv11 HP 167 Weak Thunder"
"Magic Field: Curse"
…
"Ghost Mage·Scorpion Lv13 HP 194 Weak Thunder"
"Magic Field: Curse"
…
"Sojourner·Ghost Mage·Shell Demon Lv15 HP 270 Weak to Thunder"
"Magic Field: Curse"
"Super Magic Technique: Multicasting"
…
Crash!
The excess magic crystals formed a thin layer of magic armor on the surface of the corpse monster!
Along with this scene, the transformation of the corpse demon finally came to an end.
"The real body resides in the stomach of the Stitched Monster!"
"The real level is as high as level 15!"
"Super magic skills with multiple casting skills!"
These are the second, third and fourth trump cards of the Corpse Demon!
Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
…
