God's Chosen Archmage

Chapter 47 The Strangeness of the Old City Ruins

Four moons of different sizes gradually rose to the center of the sky.

Today is the full moon of the pink moon among the four moons. Under the light of the pink moon, the earth seems to be covered with a layer of ambiguity.

This night has always been the best time for women to get married.But there are exceptions. When such moonlight shines on the ruins of the old city [-] kilometers north of Fallen Leaf City, it always gives people a creepy feeling.

On the dilapidated streets of the old city, Doug, a small vendor in the south of Luoye City, hurried forward.The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty old city, empty and fragmented, just like the ruins of the old city itself, which seemed so lifeless.

The breeze blew past, and Doug couldn't help shivering fiercely.

He cursed that unscrupulous supplier, and also cursed the blast carriage that suddenly broke down halfway!If it wasn't for these external factors, why would I need to take such a shortcut in the middle of the night?

There is no way, today is the day when his most beloved little daughter is about to get married.Although the butcher son-in-law didn't like him that much, no matter what, he would fulfill his father's responsibility and wish them happiness!
Thinking that soon there will be a child calling him grandpa, Doug can't help but bursts of fire-like sweetness in his heart!
"Wow-"

Suddenly, a deep howl came, and Doug couldn't help but stop.No!Isn't there no one living here?But why...

A cold sweat slid down his forehead.It suddenly occurred to him that this was the main battlefield of the founding war 300 years ago!Although he has never heard of any weird incidents here in these years, Doug couldn't help feeling guilty when he thought of the strange incidents of a large number of homeless people and civilians missing in the city recently.

I was scared, and my body was shaking non-stop.But for some reason, he suddenly took a step towards the place where the sound came from.

A large old house gradually appeared in front of Doug.For some reason, the weird voice from before disappeared now!Only the big house with dark doors and windows and the dead silence around it remained.

Doug looked around, but heaved a sigh of relief.It seems that I miss my little daughter too much and have hallucinations.

Just as he was about to step away, a louder and clearer roar sounded from the depths of the mansion!

Doug felt a sudden gust of cold wind blowing behind him, and every hair seemed to stand on end!In his heart, he denied everything he heard just now over and over again, but at this moment, some shambling figures suddenly appeared in the mansion!

The moonlight was very bright, and he could clearly see the pair of dark red light bulb-like eyes on those people's faces!

"Damn it-"

Amidst the screams, Doug turned around and fled!If anyone else saw Doug, they would be very surprised!Because no one will believe that an ordinary old man who is over sixty years old can run at the speed of an intermediate killer (a second-level fighter who is good at assassination)...

※※※

The sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. Such good weather was only a frequent visitor to Fallen Leaf City's yearly weather.Even in this sunny afternoon, Ed could still clearly feel the jaw-droppingly thick dark magic in the air.

Yes, he is at the ruins of the old city of Fallen Leaf City right now.Although this is the only surviving trace of the Maple Leaf Kingdom's founding war, it is really strange to say that the news of zombies suddenly came out of this ancient city site that has been quiet for 300 years.

In front of a large castle-like mansion in the west of the old city, Ed and the others patiently waited for the priest of light to receive them.

This time they were invited by the Holy See of Light to help investigate the time of the dead in the old city.This is where the cut-throat peddler first found the zombies.But both the zombies and the priest of light who responded to them showed up.

After a long time, the red-haired Borg, who specializes in fire magic, couldn't sit still.

"Ed, do you think the Holy See of Light is stupid? This old city is completely in ruins. Why do you want to meet in this place where the dark magic power is the strongest?"

"According to eyewitnesses, this is where the zombies were found. Why? Are you scared?"

The fellow practitioner who came with her, Loli Maria, who is dark and cursed magic, replied one or the other.This little girl is really uncommonly beautiful, she said this to Bog, but her eyes kept staring at the mirror in her hand.

"Hmph! Talking to a woman like you is really boring!" Borg said disdainfully. "I'm just a little worried. It's just the three of us. If the zombies really come out, it won't be so easy."

"Okay, we're here anyway, so instead of complaining, we should make some necessary preparations," Ed said.

The fourth-level light magic undead defense shield and the fourth-level earth shield can both be used as defensive circles arranged on buildings.The mansion in front of everyone is too big, and it is not worth the effort.Instead, a complete two-story stone house in front of this generation's house became the focus of the three of them.

The sun moved across the sky bit by bit, and magic circles appeared in every corner of the stone house.Just when the work of the three of them was about to end, two people wearing the robes of the intermediate priests of the Holy See of Light came running from a distance.

The younger one, only 25 or [-] years old, looks like a playboy with a greasy hair and pink face.The old man with gray beard and hair looked very kind, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! We came here thinking that the little mages would be late, so we went to the city to buy supplies."

The young pastor hadn't arrived yet, but he apologized from a distance.The others greeted him with a smile, but they couldn't cover up the smell of alcohol.

"People who practice magic actually drink alcohol. My lord pastor, you are so chic!"

Borg's tone was cold, and he made no secret of his dissatisfaction!

The young man's face darkened, but he raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer: "Yo Ho, I put a cold butt on my hot face. Hmph, for the sake of the two masters Finley, I don't care about you. It's not dark yet, you should go back!"

Borg wanted to say more, but Ed stopped him. "My lord pastor, why did you let us leave? What about my other disciples?"

"Maybe you don't know yet? Heh heh, Lord Bishop Armani specially invited Lord Finley's disciples to a banquet today. He was late and didn't even have soup..."

"So we have to watch the night alone? Okay! We will watch the second half of the night, and you guys will watch the first half of the night. Isn't it okay?"

"This... well, there is no regulation above..."

Ed didn't care what the young pastor said. He pulled Borg up and went into the room Maria had packed up to meditate.

When Ed came out of the room again, it was already midnight.The old priest lit a fire at the door of the house.A small kettle squatted beside the fire, and under the reflection of the fire, it emitted a burst of aroma of coffee.

Ed moved a thick wooden stake and sat beside the old pastor.

"Oh? It's only past ten o'clock, hehe, little mage, if you find it hard, why don't I watch it for you in the middle of the night."

"No. My name is Ed, and I haven't asked your name yet." "Rud, I'm an orphan with no last name. Would you like a cup of coffee?"

Ed thanked him with a smile, but poured out a cup from the coffee pot himself, and slowly tasted it. "Mr. Rude, where is your young companion?"

"Pastor Thomas drank a few sips at the bishop's place, and he was tired. Hehe, I'm older and I'm a subordinate. Besides, it's impossible to be sure that something will happen tonight..."

Suddenly, the old man glanced at the distance, but never left that direction again!Ed followed his gaze and wanted to look into the distance.It was discovered that under the shadowy moonlight, there were actually a group of shambling guys!

Ed's pupils shrank suddenly, and he didn't care whether he would accidentally injure innocent people, a fireball flew towards him.

"call"

A group of flames bloomed among the crowd.

Never go wrong!No matter where these ragged guys come from, but no one will clearly see the fire, but will not avoid it and just walk over it!

Ed couldn't help but gasp!With a flash of fire in his left hand, the fire immediately turned into a wall of fire about ten meters long and one meter wide.

"Rud, wake up everyone else, we're in big trouble tonight!"

With this loud shout, those zombies seem to have received some kind of signal.Howling, they quickly approached the fire, and under the reflection of the fire, the dark red eyes that were turned dark because of the dark magic power looked so hideous!

The zombies rushed over to hug them enthusiastically, but what greeted them was indeed a fireball like a burning grenade!

When one spark blooms, another one will catch up, scorching and howling, accompanied by the burning fire everywhere, floating in the dark night sky!

Although the power of Ed's fireball is not low, he still underestimated these undead souls!Even though many of them had turned into human candles and even had their heads gone, those zombies were still staggering closer to the stone house!

Just when the vanguard of this group of zombies approached the fire in front of Ed, an invisible raised hand flicked them far away like sweeping ashes.

The magic repulsion made a contribution, and Ed couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.While the spirit steel arcane staff in his right hand was releasing arcane spells, a spell was also blurted out.

"White polar day, holy light! Illuminate justice to the throne of the emperor. Dispel, purify, and eliminate all shadows in the world! Undead killer!"

This third-level undead killer of the light system is worthy of being the nemesis of the undead!Just after the white light ball was equipped with a huge zombie body, the undead turned into nothingness in an instant like a person ignited by sparks!
At the same time, black light balls, a burst of flames, and more white light balls flew into the zombie group one after another.

"Wahhaha, is this the evil zombie? Look at me burning you all to ashes!"

The person who is still shouting loudly at this time is naturally that Borg.Not only him, but also Maria, Rude and the young pastor rushed to Ed's side.

With everyone's help, Ed suddenly felt relaxed.

He looked at Maria who was serious about releasing the dark-type undead killer, but he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.Since he is proficient in the two undead killers of light and darkness, why not release them at the same time?
Once this thought gushed out, it was no longer difficult to suppress.Anyway, with the help of inner breath, it is not difficult. Ed simply took away the purple-red light-dark conversion gem that he had obtained before, and gave up the two kinds of undead killers alternately with his left and right hands.

There is light for a while, and darkness for a while, and the two diametrically opposed magical powers flow clearly in Ed's body under the inner breath.At this time, Ed seems to have really gained some experience!
You must know that there are only a handful of third- and fourth-level magics that he can cast instantly, so even realizing the instant cast of exclusive magic like Undead Killer is a remarkable achievement for him at this stage.
