Crimson Servant

Chapter 66 Returning to the Ground
  Goblins are cunning, small humanoids that nest everywhere, acting out of malice and greed, traveling in small groups and winning through numbers and ambush. This kind of black-hearted dwarf with low discipline and no love for cleanliness has occupied the outermost surface area of ​​​​the dungeon and has become the primary target for those who are new to adventure.

Just like gatekeepers in dangerous areas, every adventurer remembers to beware of these smelly things before entering the dungeon, but some careless guys always forget one thing: these little shit-like monsters not only guard the entrance, but also Guard the exit.

Their attacks may not be fatal to a professional who is in perfect condition, but when you are exhausted and narrowly escape from the dangerous dungeon with wounds on your body, a gentle wipe of the goblin's scimitar, which is stained with saliva and full of germs and filth, will kill you. It's enough to kill you, and they have poisonous arrows in their backs.

Just outside an exit of the underground city Optitdam, a five-person goblin team was lurking in the shadow of a broken wall with backlight. The goblin leader was hiding on the second floor of the broken tower opposite the exit. The gray bricks on one side were covered with creepers, which were lying on the edge of the leaves, like a pile of diseased rotten leaves. The goblin leader scratched the itchy spot on his lower back with his yellow nails and stared at the exit with his remaining good eye. The goblin leader needs to use his rich survival experience to judge whether an adventurer out of the dungeon is suitable for robbery, observe the number of people, weapons and equipment, and injury status, and rob targets that are weaker than themselves and worthy of the risk.

The one-eyed goblin leader was a little lazy today. Yesterday, the nearby goblin team was killed because he picked the wrong target. Their corpses had an unpalatable burnt smell after being cooked. This made his boys feel bad, and they were too little. After defeating the competitor and occupying the territory next door, he was completely demotivated after being satisfied.

At this moment, the goblin leader saw a human coming out of the exit. There was a man without a bag and wearing a big black robe. He saw his little boy hiding in the dark and was already impatient for the prey. The leader searched the memory in his mind and felt that this guy probably didn't have anything worth robbing.

The leader gave the order to attack, and it snickered mischievously, its eyes full of sadistic desire.

It’s not bad to play a hunting game, but you’re just alone anyway.

There was a sound on the ivy leaves next to him, and the goblin leader turned around to see a bright red pseudo-dragon crawling on the wall like a gecko. It had its head down, its golden eyes staring at itself, braving the cold light, and its open mouth showing its fangs towards itself. The goblin leader did not dare to speak, because he observed the joy in those glowing eyes, a joy that was about to complete some evil action.

After finishing the game, I’m going to see Magrubier today.

"Roar!"

The pseudo-dragon turned into lightning and penetrated the body of the goblin leader.

John Kemp stood there, looking at the five goblin corpses lined up in front of him. A hole as big as a bowl was opened in their chests, completely penetrated, and the edges of the wounds were burnt black and red. The creator of the piercing wound, the dragon-shaped lightning was tied up in chains and thrown aside. After killing several goblins just now, it wanted to take John away with it. But the power of dragon thunder is controlled by the magician, and it has no chance of success.

"One blow kills, all are heart-breaking penetrating wounds..."

John Kemp has almost understood the ability of [Veltis's Violent Lightning]. It has high-speed, deadly attack power, and its reconnaissance ability is more acute than [Chain of Sin], and it has a paranoid desire to attack the heart, seemingly because it senses the heartbeat of the target. Because it can energize the body, the energy storage and firing speed are faster than other spells. If he uses ritual strengthening to achieve the effect of suppressing the red dragon Azames, John Camp is sure to compress the time to three minutes. one.

[Viltis's Violent Lightning] is a completely destructive spell, which has been verified through many experiments. It makes up for the shortcomings of the previous crimson spell slot very well.

[Viltis' Chain of Sin] has support and control effects, and its own lethality is low. Disguised as clothing, supporting body activities and serving as a blood reservoir, it is John Camp's personal use. But now that John has received dragon blood, his weak state has completely disappeared, and physical support is no longer as important as before. Because of the personality left over from his predecessor, [Chain] likes to disguise himself and likes to strangle.　　　【Veltis's Vicious Red Mist】has the ability to interfere with and corrupt spirits. Red mist is the symbol of the Crimson God and a necessary ability to create a ritual environment. It can block vision, isolate the flow of mana, and maintain mystery. John is often used to dispose of corpses, stun enemies, and create favorable situations. Because of the personality left over from his predecessor, [Red Mist] likes to eat people, simulating the eating process by corroding flesh and bones.

[Veltis' Violent Lightning], because it originated from the red dragon Azames, has strong hostility towards the [Chain of Sin] that suppressed its predecessor and caused its death. The arrogance from the red dragon made it somewhat uncontrollable. But like its predecessor, the Warlock can control its actions at any time, leaving its power in the hands of John Kemp. After many killings, [Vicious Lightning] has become accustomed to obeying the orders of the warlock, but his hostility towards [Chain of Sin] has never been relieved.

"Come back, Azames." John spread his palms and calling the red dragon's name can significantly improve Long Lei's obedience.

After hearing the command, the dragon thunder turned into a bolt of lightning and jumped into the palm of John's hand. The lightning connected with the fingers and merged into the body of the warlock.

John Kemp initially wondered why the remnants of the red dragon existed in the form of lightning instead of fire. Until he discovered that [Violent Lightning] could be integrated into his own nerves. The dragon thunder was dormant in his spine, further stimulating the body's vitality in the form of bioelectricity and integrating with the dragon's blood.

After being struck by lightning, John Kemp became an agile warrior who could use some of the dragon's brute strength and deliver melee electrocutions if necessary. The warlock himself doesn't like this way of fighting.

After lightning parasitizes his body, John Kemp will feel a burst of impatience, or anger, born from his heart. The bloodthirsty desire to kill was affecting his judgment. He was carried away by the desire for revenge several times, and he almost turned around and walked into the dungeon to exact revenge on the Wendigo.

John held back and vowed to kill the monster that killed Nora. In order to achieve this goal, he will use any means.

His companions, those dragon slayers who are trustworthy and excellent in martial arts, will definitely give him support. Supporting each other is what an adventuring party is about.

There is another point that John himself is not willing to admit.

He had already lost Nora and he didn't want to lose more.

Before starting his revenge plan, he needs to confirm the safety of his companions.

Holding back his impatience, John Camp, who put on a black robe, walked towards the adventurer camp outside the underground city.
