my age of magic

Chapter 175. 175. Asakusa and Geryl
The night wind blows, and gently lifts the veil-like clouds away, revealing the hidden blue sky inside. The sky has been dotted with stars like broken diamonds. Build a bonfire.It is so quiet in the four fields, so weird that you can't even hear the sound of insects, and there is a faint smell of corpses in the humid wind. You don't need to guess, those zombies are dormant in the night not far away, looking for a certain opportunity Devour this group of fresh flesh and blood.

At first, it was expected that the swamp zombies might attack our camp at night, so the gray dwarves jumped into the three-meter-wide and two-meter-deep ditch after Kurtz promised to have two shepherd's purse balls for supper. Digging the soil, like a group of strong groundhogs, they threw all the residual soil to the side of the camp. The residual soil left by digging the trench actually built a two-meter-high earth wall at the edge of the trench.The ditch that has become deep enough and wide enough is full of iron rods more than one meter long. These iron rods were secretly brought by the orc overseers from the quarry. Before they knew they would follow us to drown When they were mooring, they had already prepared these tools. These sharp iron brazes forged from refined steel are not uncommon items in the quarry. During the long contact with the swamp zombies, the orcs of each tribe had I have found some ways to deal with zombies, such as the orcs in the quarry. They are better at positional warfare, digging trenches, and setting traps. These methods are very useful against ordinary zombies.

Kuz told me that he only found out after chatting with the leader of the orc overseer that the orcs in the quarry are actually not afraid of ordinary zombies like tides, nor is it the powerful and steel-framed corpse king. , but those death scythes wandering around in the night.

After waiting quietly for most of the night, there was no movement in the entire camp, even if the shadows of the death scythes that could lurk in the dark night did not appear, this kind of waiting was extremely long.

Kuz and I climbed behind the earthen wall and looked out. On the grass outside the ditch, a bonfire scroll was placed every ten meters. Under the night wind, the magical fire was blown on and off.After waiting for long enough, the tense spirit began to relax slowly. Sister Guoguo and her team of wind chasers have not come back so late, and I don't know what happened to them outside, but I guess there is Viru and Jambach are here, and they can handle all kinds of critical situations.

I was putting the silver-plated shotgun on the dirt wall, and I stretched out my hand to rub my sore and stiff shoulders, when I suddenly felt that the magical power in my body fluctuated inexplicably again, and that feeling was like a wave in the air. The magic elements slowly became very viscous, and the magic elements floating in the air were gradually pulled out of the air like silk flocs, and flowed to a certain point in the night.

With the last experience, the pain from the huge bone scythe penetrating my body made my body respond quickly at this moment, my whole body became stiff due to tension, and the muscles all over my body were tense , Cold sweat broke out on his forehead all of a sudden, Kurz was beside me, he felt my already, and cast a searching look at me.

I looked at him in fear, he immediately understood that I sensed danger, my eyes looked towards a certain direction in the night, Kurtz grabbed the alloy bow with his hand, and took out the quiver with the other very concealedly A feathered arrow wrapped with a scroll of frost pointed far away.

It was a very strange change. The black night was suddenly cut wide open by the pale bone scythe, and a bone ghost wrapped in a black and gray tattered cloak got out from inside. There were two blue soul fires in the eye sockets, and it was a bit lost at this moment. The skull under its conical hat seemed to be attracted by some kind of attraction, and it quickly looked at me.

At this moment, I figured out why these death scythes are so elusive, so that people can find their whereabouts, because they have broken through the shackles of space, and can perform skills like "teleportation" in a short distance.It is said that the death scythe is the nemesis of magicians, and its body is born as a magic circle that absorbs magic power.It can automatically absorb the magic elements around the body.I also discovered this death scythe because I was keenly aware of the unusual magic fluctuations at that point in the night.Just when it swung the giant bone scythe in its right hand and was about to pounce on me, it was already too late.

The frosty arrows that Kurtz had prepared for a long time came out, and then he transformed into three wind spike arrows like magic in his hand. After a short pause, the three spike arrows shot out in a row.I also raised the silver-plated shotgun and pulled the trigger device. The copper pea followed the three wind mace arrows and shot towards the death scythe.

All of this happened within two seconds. The death scythe didn't even understand why it was hiding in the night, and just jumped out from the time-space gate, with a magic arrow of ice attribute stuck in its chest. There was a thick layer of hoarfrost, and in an instant, three sharp bone arrows pierced through the weak breastbone.

The three bone arrows easily pierced through the chest, and the sharp points of the arrows scraped against its pale white ribs, and immediately smashed the fragile ribs covered with frost by the wind wolf's fang arrows.The fire of the soul in the eyes of the death scythe was shining brightly, dragging its broken body and rushing towards me like crazy. At that wind-like speed, I couldn't react for a while, and I didn't have time to dodge.

The copper pea exploded on the face of the death scythe, and the bursting magic flame actually caused the soul fire in the eye sockets of the death scythe to flicker, and its rapid charge stopped for a while, but even so, its The giant bone sickle has been cut off against the top of my head, and I can even feel the cool wind above my head.

I am chanting the spell ridiculously, never before like this, I feel that the "magic cloak" is extremely cumbersome and lengthy, I think I should be too late, the bone scythe has reached the top of the head, but the spell is just halfway through, even if it is With the advanced "self-healing" talent, there is no way to revive a person whose head has been beheaded!I think.

"Crack!" The sound of bone crushing rang against my eardrums, it was so crisp.

The black stick image was a stick screen, and it hit the skull of the death scythe directly. Under the stick shadow, the shattered skull looked like a blooming white lily in the air, and the blue soul fire in the eye sockets was captured by the iron rod. Smashed, among the splashed bone fragments, it turned into traces of blue flower stamens, which dissipated in the air.

The hard shell of a gray egg-sized nucleus actually shattered into two halves under the iron rod, and a walnut-sized white crystal flew more than ten meters away, exuding white light in the dark night. The streamer, like a fluorescent stone, fell into the grass of the camp.

It was only after this moment that Kurtz's hand could barely push my body, and he couldn't stop, pushing my small body out, and in mid-air as I fell to the left, the magic spell I twirled I said it was finished, but at this moment, I turned into a cloud of green smoke and disappeared into the night.

The "magic cloak" didn't even have any effect.

Looking at the white broken bones scattered on the grass behind the earthen wall, the white skull has been knocked into countless pieces by the maid Asakusa's iron rod, and even the fire of the soul has been blown away.It was hard to imagine that the explosive stick was cast from the taciturn Asakusa.

Maid Asakusa had already put back the black iron rod in her hand, her blushing complexion could not be calmed down for a while, she sat back to her original position as if nothing had happened, and seeing Kurtz looking at her with dull eyes, she lowered her head and lifted the iron rod Putting it aside, he glanced at Kurtz with bright eyes, as if to say: shouldn't you praise me at this time?

I emerged from the dark phantom, and I was about to express some thanks to Asakusa, but at this moment, I felt a wave of magic power farther to the left, and I quickly pointed in that direction, regardless of the darkness Seeing what would be there, he shouted directly: "Az, over there!"

The beast female warriors around were all attracted by the sound just now and my shout. At this time, Kurz quickly shot an arrow into the darkness over there without hesitation. This time because I discovered it earlier, in Kurz After the magic arrow was shot, a giant bone scythe was just revealed in the darkness of that place, and a pale skull hidden in a black conical hat poked its head out from the gap in time and space, and was shot out of nowhere Frost magic arrows explode into ice sculptures.

At that time, the opening and closing of the space-time rift was only an instant thing. Most of the body of the death scythe was still in the rift. The giant bone scythe fell to the ground, only to see the soul fire of the death scythe flickering non-stop. Gerile on the side held the short spear with the magic antelope horn, rushed over in two steps, and directly used the short spear to smash the rolling on the ground. The white skull was nailed to the grass, and the two soul fires in the skull's eye sockets were instantly extinguished.

I didn't expect the death scythe to be so fragile, it's not as scary as the rumors say!

"Jia, how do you know where the death scythe came from?" Gerile raised his hand and pulled the short spear out of the ground, a magic core rolled out from the shattered skull.

At this time, the whole camp was like a pot exploded. The female beast warriors ambushing behind the earthen wall appeared in chaos. Under the reflection of the fire in the camp, several death scythes appeared and disappeared in the camp. A fresh life must be reaped.Those beast female warriors who managed to build up their fighting courage, under such a chaotic situation, their spiritual defenses completely collapsed. People kept standing up from behind the earthen walls and running around the camp like crazy, as if they thought they could hide The death scythe attack was launched, but they didn't want to be in a chaotic situation, the more they gave the death scythe an opportunity, they held the giant bone scythe in the chaos, chasing behind the beast girls, using their absolute speed advantage Successive attacks and kills.

"Don't run around!" Kuz yelled at the tribe's orc girls: "Put up a defensive formation! Formation! Formation!"

Kurz had already rushed to the most chaotic place with red eyes, and the maid Asakusa followed behind him carrying a black iron rod.Kurtz's feathered arrow shot empty for the first time, the death scythe got into the space-time rift just before the arrow entered, and the wind spike arrow also flew into the time-space rift and disappeared completely.

However, under Kurz's yelling, the panicked female beast warriors finally came back to their senses, gathered together in a hurry, holding spears in both hands back to back, everyone's faces were very frightened, they looked at Seeing Kurtz running in the crowd, his mood was a little calmer.

Gerile looked at the chaotic camp with a pale face. She once told me that the reason why the Raitu tribe left their homes and left the Drowning Park was because there was no way to resist these undead killers.But now this scene is still being played out, I turned my head and saw the orc overseers crawling out of the cellar not far away, they were more skillful holding an iron rod in each hand, dozens of people surrounded In a circle, everyone faces outward, staring nervously at the top of their heads, defending against the sneak attack of the death scythe.

At this time, the bonfire scrolls in the outermost circle of the camp were extinguished one by one, and the tide of corpses pouring in from the darkness had already revealed a vague outline in the dim night. I finally realized that the most dangerous moment had finally arrived.

There was another miserable cry not far away. A female beast warrior looked desperately at the short spear in her hand, and lowered her head to see a wound more than a foot long on her chest. Bright red blood was mixed with scattered blood. His internal organs flowed on the grass, and a cloud of soul breath was sucked into his mouth by the death scythe.

I suddenly saw a figure moving little by little from the shadow of the slope next to it. She crawled a little closer to the death scythe that was sucking the soul of the female beast warrior. , and the slender figure rushed forward like a wind wolf at the moment the death scythe swung the bone scythe to open the crack in time and space. Just when the death scythe was about to get into the crack, her hand snapped Grabbing the black cloak of the death scythe, pulled the death scythe out of the crack, and threw it to the ground.

The fire of the soul in the empty eye sockets of the death scythe suddenly blazed, showing that it was extremely angry, and the bone arm had broken free from under the beast girl. In the chaos, I saw the resolute side face of the beast girl Son, the old orc Gribaschin personally selected the one under the Night Wolf Cliff. I remembered that she has been helping the maid Asakusa to manage the orcs in the tribe recently. She is very intelligent and very talented. A beast girl with strength and courage.

But an ordinary beast girl is not as powerful as a first-level monster. Although the death scythe is an undead monster that is good at speed, it is definitely stronger than an ordinary beast girl in terms of strength. She shouted to the surroundings: "Come quickly and kill it!"

At this time, Gerile was the first to react. She jumped and ran like a deer, with a light and agile body with a unique rhythm, and the short spear with the magic antelope horn in her hand was already in her hand while running. , and Gerile also ran faster and faster. When the speed reached the peak, she jumped into the air suddenly, and she jumped seven or eight meters into the air. The moment she stopped at the highest point, the short spear in her hand was raised. The top of the head, like a white lightning, marked down.

With a crisp sound of "click", the sharp demon antelope horn pierced the death sickle's skull, and most of the short spear was inserted into the ground, and the soul fire of the struggling death sickle dissipated under the short spear. .At this time, the bone scythe in Death Scythe's hand had already hung above the head of the beast girl. If Gerile hadn't saved it in time, the beast girl would have been decapitated by now.

I was holding a silver-plated shotgun, and it was like a green orange was stuffed into my mouth.

In the distant camp, Kurtz’s magic arrow exploded again. The piercing sound caused by the forced condensation of frost in the air indicated that Kurtz shot a death scythe again with his frost magic arrow. He strode towards Kurtz and ran over there.
