Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 8 Locusts and Exorcism Bags
[Divine Art·Innate Divine Power]: Strength +2 for 6 minutes
This is a very good status spell for Marvin.
His strength has always been his weakness. When he was fighting with the Black Butcher before, he seemed so passive because his strength was completely suppressed.
His mission is to kill the plague bringer, and suppress the rest for the time being.
In just a few steps, he rushed to the plague bringer.
This time, the Plaguebringer has no divine spell like the Rotten Vortex to use.
Because he had already used up the few interference spells he had when he was interfering with Guderian.
Facing the aggressive Marvin, the Plague Messenger cursed inwardly and actually pulled out a huge two-handed sword with his backhand!
Marvin was shocked and dodged in a hurry!
…
"I go!"
"This guy's real job is actually a warrior!"
Marvin suddenly had a headache!
He never imagined that this plague bringer's main job was not a priest, but a warrior.
Where did the Plague God find this weird thing? Although this weird way of advancement is not impossible...but the Plague Messenger born in this way will have half the number of divine spells as a normal Plague Messenger!
No wonder Marvin always felt that this guy was hesitant when casting magic.
It turns out he's actually a fucking warrior!
Because he had been preparing for a sneak attack, Marvin was afraid of being discovered by the other party, so he did not use any reconnaissance techniques.
This time, after he dodged the swing of the two-handed greatsword, he quickly sent out a reconnaissance.
The result made Marvin laugh and cry. The other party's professional level was:
【Warrior 5/Plaguebringer 2】
Please, if it's a warrior, isn't it generally better to advance to [Plague Knight]?
Ma Wen complained in his heart. Apart from the initial surprise, he felt much more relaxed!
Because this makes the Plaguebringer much easier to deal with.
What Marvin feared most was the other party's endless disgusting curses. Once he was infected with that kind of thing, even if he killed the plague messenger, he would still be in trouble.
But if the opponent is a warrior, it basically means that his magic has been used up!
Although he wielded his sword in a very methodical way,...
Marvin is a super-elevated warrior with 20 points of agility, and rangers have a natural restraint on warriors!
His steps became ghostly. Suddenly, taking advantage of the moment when the Plague Messenger swung his sword, he ducked and actually slipped under the Plague Messenger's armpit!
[Shadow Cut Step]!
This time, the speed was as fast as lightning! The Plague Messenger had no way to prevent it!
Marvin held his scimitar horizontally and skillfully transitioned to the next skill [Throat Cutting]!
[You used the throat-cutting technique (46) on the target...]
[Skill failed...]
…
Snap!
A strange sound was heard, and the throat-cutting operation did not succeed!
Because at the most critical moment, the Plague Messenger used his last life-saving magic - [Locust Clone]!
The favorite animal of the God of Plague is the locust.
The moment this magic was cast, the Plague Messenger turned into a locust and flew up with a buzzing sound!
Marvin's throat-slitting attack only hit one or two of them.
More of them flew away in panic.
"Locust clone? Want to escape again?"
Guderian, who had been gradually suppressing the Black Butcher, suddenly shouted and took out a huge bag from his hand!
This pocket looks like it's made of linen, but it's actually a real magical item!
"As expected of a knight of the Silver Church, he is so rich. A second-level knight actually has two magic items on him!"
Ma Wen was envious!
As a time traveler, I only have a few glimmering items to carry with me, okay? Even the two swords are blank, and I feel disgusted no matter how I use them!
Marvin recognized this pocket; it was an exorcism pocket made by a high-ranking priest of the Silver Church.
This kind of pocket, like the Ruyi rope, has many uses and is very sharp if used well.
Guderian opened his pocket and a gust of wind blew out, blowing most of the locusts to the ground!
The plague messenger wanted to escape, but Guderian was prepared!
The wind that blows out of the pocket has the special effect of dispersing divine power - although it is very slight and has little effect on real divine magic!
However, the essence of the locust clone is to divide one divine power into countless parts, and each part escapes separately. Although this makes it easier to escape, it cannot fight against this special gale!
Locusts are falling!
They fell to the ground and could only crawl slowly.
The plan was successful, the plague bringer can't escape!
Guderian gave a smug smile.
However, at this moment, Black Jack suddenly turned his knife around, and instead of taking the opportunity to escape, he attacked!
[Swordsmanship·Phantom of the Abyss]!
His whole body twisted into a ball of black mist and pounced on Guderian!
Guderian's expression changed immediately!
This is a high-level sword technique, not an ordinary sword technique like Thunderous Quick Slash. Where did this guy learn it?
If he continues to use the Exorcist Pocket, he will be chopped to pieces by the Phantom of the Abyss!
But there are still a few locusts in the air trying to escape!
"Oh shit!"
The Silver Light Knight stamped his feet in anger, packed his pockets, and drew his sword to deal with Black Jack's trump card!
…
In the dark basement, the strong wind dissipated.
There were three locusts struggling to fly upwards in the air. There was an exhaust duct above them, and they seemed to be trying to escape from there.
It was already flying very high, and it was difficult for Marvin to jump to it!
But he is not completely without a solution.
"It's just a matter of luck!"
Marvin put away his scimitar and suddenly grabbed two darts from his waist pocket!
[Hidden weapon·Dart (24) activated! ]
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Darts flew out one after another.
The sixth dart successfully hit a locust and nailed it to the ceiling!
The thirteenth dart hit the second one.
However, the third locust was about to approach the small pipe.
Let just one locust escape, and the bringer of plague will flee.
Marvin and Guderian will both lose all their efforts!
The remaining time was enough for Marvin to throw two darts .
But his shooting percentage is very unimpressive.
"Take a gamble!"
In a flash, Marvin made a decisive decision.
He grabbed five darts with both hands. Since his hit rate was not good, he would use the coverage rate to make up for it!
The entrance to the pipe is so small anyway!
Marvin exerted force with both hands, and a total of ten darts flew out in a mess, all flying towards the pipe!
The locust is indeed very small in size, but when a dense swarm of darts flies towards it, it is difficult for it to dodge no matter how hard it flaps its wings!
nail!
With a crisp sound, a dart pierced its body.
Its tiny body suddenly grew larger, transformed into the appearance of a plague messenger, and fell to the ground.
It's dead.
…
Ma Wen let out a long sigh. He was really lucky. He had indeed thrown the ball randomly.
Fortunately, the wind released by Guderian's exorcist pocket weakened the locusts.
Otherwise, with the agility of the locust clones, Marvin would not be able to hit any of them!
After killing the Plague Messenger, Marvin's side quest was completed.
【Drive Out the Plague】(Completed).
Obtained mission reward: 3000 general experience points.
As for the regional legendary level, it has not appeared yet. Marvin guessed that it would only be obtained after what happened tonight spreads.
The Plaguebringer's own experience reward is also very good, with 560 points of killing experience.
Marvin was already very satisfied with this.
On the other side, Guderian was overjoyed when he saw that Marvin successfully killed the plague messenger.
When he freed his hands to face Black Jack, the latter had no way to resist!
The two assassins who used their life-threatening attacks were quite clever and slipped away at some point.
Marvin felt a little regretful because he was in a hurry to kill the Plague Messenger and missed two waves of experience.
"Now that my employer is dead, there is no reason for me to continue fighting!"
Black Jack suddenly retreated and looked at Guderian with a grim expression: "Silver Light, I will remember you."
"But do you know who the masked man next to you is? I can tell you that he is the double-sword masked man who has been causing unrest in River Beach City recently!"
"Maybe now, he is the one you should capture!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared from the spot!
[Secret Technique: Disappearance]!
Ma Wen's heart sank. This guy was incredibly powerful. He even knew a way to escape. No wonder he was so fearless.
However, what is worse is that now there are only Marvin and Guderian left in the basement.
The Silver Knight slowly turned around and stared at Marvin seriously:
"Are you the Double Blade Mask?"
