Chapter 76 Fighting like a mortal

Joshua leads his ten-year-old younger sister stumbled across the fields.

There is an extremely ferocious bite mark on his right arm. Blood soaked the entire sleeve. The cross-section of the bite mark is very irregular, and it does not look like it was injured by a creature with sharp teeth such as wild beast.

The two ran on the ash-gray seedlings from blight, raising a flurry of ash escaping along the way.

“big brother, are you still bleeding…”

His younger sister asked worriedly.

About an hour ago, in order to save his younger sister from the monster who was no longer his master blacksmith, Joshua was swollen and covered with mycelium and mildew. The walking corpse, fiercely bit a big mouthful of flesh from his arm.

And he also took the opportunity to insert the red-hot iron from the forge into the monster’s eye socket, and the monster’s head was ignited from the inside, making a crackling sound like a burning fern.

Immediately, he kicked the stove over, and took advantage of the spreading fire to pull up the scared younger sister and ran out.

The town was filled with mournful screams and sticky, wet moans.

Countless swollen, sluggish walking corpses, covered with mildew and mycelium, were rounded up everywhere under the command of a group of weirdos in brown-red robes and strange pointed hats. with the surviving residents. He took his younger sister to hide in the shadows with bated breath, and took advantage of the chance that the walking corpses were attracted by something to the Holy Spirit church in the center of the town, and slipped out from the path of the field.

“Stop it a long time ago, save your energy and stop talking.”

Joshua said, turning his head a little uneasy and glanced at his right arm The wound, and then his heart sank all of a sudden.

Mycelium, like some kind of white hair, was growing slowly, and the air-exposed flesh on his wound seemed to be nourished by some kind of fertile soil, and the intact skin around the wound was also nourished. The mildew of azure black began to spread.

From the moment Joshua was bitten, he began to feel that something was wrong. The pain of being bitten only lasted for a short moment, and then it turned into a strange itching sensation. He felt as if something spread into his own flesh and blood along the wound, took root, and then grew.

Gradually, a strange hunger is emerging.

This made him involuntarily swallow saliva when talking to his younger sister.

Recalling the swollen corpses covered with mycelium and mildew, Joshua gritted his teeth and stopped.

“Big brother, what’s the matter? Is it safe here?”

The younger sister who stopped suddenly gasped for a while, and asked strangely when her breathing calmed down .

“No, I just suddenly remembered that there is a thorny black guard’s post over there. There must be a military doctor there who can help me deal with the wound first.”

He Said and pointed to the other end of the field, the girl instantly became overjoyed when she heard it.

“Okay, then we’ll go there now.”

Joshua shook his head:

“No, now we don’t have time to delay, we have to Hurry up to Thorn City to inform the lord of what happened in Hongquan Town.”

“What should I do then?”

The younger sister asked anxiously, Thorn City is still seven years away from here. More than 80 kilometers, it usually takes a while for them to go to Thorn City to buy things and take the carriage.

Joshua made his expression as natural as possible and said:

“So the best way now is that I go to that sentry to treat the wound first, and you go to Thorn City, so it won’t be delayed.”

“But…”

“Just keep walking down this road and you’ll get to Thorn City, which you’ve been to before. , you should still remember, right? Don’t worry, I’ll come to find you soon after the wound is treated, you just wait for me at the door of the shop where we usually buy iron ingots.”

Joshua didn’t give the girl a chance to think, and gently patted the girl’s head with the intact hand, laughed at her.

The girl hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.

“Let’s go, let’s go, don’t delay.”

After finishing speaking, Joshua turned around and ran to the other side of the field, while his younger sister looked at him After tangled for a while, he spread his legs and ran along the road towards Thorn City.

The direction Joshua was talking about, of course, there was no thorny Black Guard post, and he stopped after running for about a kilometer.

When he turned around and saw that the younger sister on the road had turned into a black spot, he really let go of his heart.

Sit down against the pile of weeds piled up on the field ridge, he let out a long relaxed breath.

The itching sensation has spread to the entire right arm, and a small part of the white mycelium has gradually bloomed into a gorgeous crown. Although he doesn’t know when he will become a disgusting walking corpse like those townspeople, since he doesn’t know how to stop it, he just plans to take a good rest now.

Leaning on the fluffy weeds, Joshua quickly fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took before he was woken up by a sticky sound.

“I thought you’d run farther.”

I had seen the man in the town wearing a red-brown robe and a strange pointed hat standing there. in front of him.

Seeing him awake, the man grinned open his mouth covered with festering scars, revealing a smile of harboring malicious intentions.

Joshua looked all around, there were about forty or fifty walking corpses wandering around, and all the directions he might run out of were blocked.

But even without these obstacles, there is no need for him to run. After waking up this time, his entire right arm was completely festered, and countless fungi grew out of the festering scars, covering his arm layer by layer like some kind of shell.

But the strange thing is that his consciousness is still very clear at the moment.

“I’m so lucky, didn’t expect to find two hosts who can carry the corrupt blessings of Hungry Lady in such a small town.”

Host? alone?

Joshua thought anxiously.

Although he didn’t know what the Hungry Lady or the corruption blessing was, since the other party surrounded him with so many monsters and didn’t kill him, he certainly wasn’t trying to be merciful.

Fortunately, he let his younger sister go first.

“Come to me, Blessed One.”

The man said, and with a buzzing sound that made Joshua’s head dizzy, a back Flywing, his eyes were full of maggots, and the “armored man” wrapped in the constantly wriggling viscous biomass armor landed beside him.

A heavy copy of a dark green is inscribed on the monster’s chest, shimmering with rays of light as if alive.

Just looking at the monster made Joshua feel nauseous.

“Isn’t it beautiful? You will look like this perfect after receiving the blessing.”

The man in the red-brown robe squatted beside him, Looking at Joshua, who was about to vomit, he said excitedly:

“Abandon the mundane body, embrace the power of Moon Realm, and complete the sublimation of life. Maybe at first you won’t get used to it, But then you will definitely understand how compassionate it is…”

The man opened his palm as he spoke, and the same intricate dark green mark appeared in midair.

In Joshua’s horrified eyes, the mark slowly floated towards his chest.

“no!”

“Feel this…”

“chi…”

What does he want the book to do? What Ya feels is destined no one will know.

Because of his remaining half words, a silver crossbow arrow stuck in his throat forever.

…………

“I’ll be in charge of remote support here.”

An arrow shot through the throat of the bloated church priest, Nezmaar said indifferently. Said to Cass behind him.

Hearing this sentence, Cass’s face showed a very strange expression.

After all, the last time he heard this voice say this, the other party was a Moon Realm monster wearing a Nezmaar skin, and soon after that brought him an unforgettable nightmare in his life Memories.

Nezmaar, who has no memory of this at all, continued:

“In an emergency, I will use [Storm Buff] to strengthen the arrows to reinforce you, if…”

p>

“Okay, okay…don’t worry, I can solve it.”

Listening to the familiar words, Cass quickly interrupted her words while drawing the sword behind her.

Cass glanced at Liz who was sitting on his shoulder, the Demoness jumped down consciously and flew to William’s side with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

But that’s the only condition Cass agrees to take Liz out on, and in any fight, she must stay obediently and honestly in the safest place possible.

“This is an actual combat training. Remember to control the scale of your strength to the level of the Master’s field.”

William on the side reminded.

This time William doesn’t plan to take action. A group of bloated corpses and a blessed one. The enemy in this configuration is just handed over to Cass for actual combat training. By the way, you can also see him in the meditation room some time ago. training results.

Cass nodded, stepped forward with a sword in hand, a flash of electric light flashed, and he instantly appeared dozens of meters away.

His movements looked like he was running, but every step he ran was a flash of dozens of meters. But after running seven or eight steps, he had already appeared beside Joshua.

At this moment, the blessed one was raising the flame-shaped broadsword in his hand, intending to cut off the neck of the young man, and the Judgement Four in Cass’s hand just cut through the space and flashed to the broadsword.

The “clang” sound of Judgement Four blocked this blade.

The Blessed One’s head turned to Cass, who didn’t seem to be aware of his presence until this moment.

Cass’s arm muscles bulged, and thunder and lightning the thickness of his thumb climbed up the blade like a snake, and a thunderstorm exploded instantly where the two blades clung to, and a violent shock wave sent the blessed one. It was blasted out.

And Joshua, who closed his eyes under the blade, felt like he heard two thunders.

The first sound exploded right next to his ear, almost deafening his ears, while the second sound seemed to come from a distance, with a rumbling echo.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and found that the surrounding scenery had changed for some reason. The tall Swordsman who had just helped him block the knife was holding him, and was turning back to follow a man in a brown robe. The man is explaining something.

“I’m sorry, Mr. William, the situation is urgent, I just didn’t have time to guide the force with your movements as you said.”

“It’s okay, saving people is important, but in the future this situation will also be Avoid it as much as possible.”

The Swordsman gratefully put Joshua down and said:

“Relax little fellow, it’s safe now.”

After he finished speaking, he took a step with his sword and disappeared again, leaving only an afterimage flashing with electric light.

Joshua looked in the direction that Swordsman ran out, and at a glance, he saw several hundred meters away, where he was leaning against the weed pile to rest.

So the two thunders I heard just now were actually one? That Swordsman brought himself here in an instant?

Before Joshua could think about how the other party did it, a familiar voice suddenly brought his thoughts back to reality.

“big brother!”

Joshua turned around, his younger sister burst into his arms with snot and tears.

“wū wū wū…I thought I would never see you again.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m here…”

Joshua was comforted as he patted the younger sister’s back with his uninjured hand.

Subconsciously frowned after seeing this scene by Nezmaar on the side.

After hesitating for a while, she put down the burst crossbow in her hand and got up and walked to the pair of siblings.

For the battle not far away, the long-range support of the crossbow arrow is actually not even necessary.

“Stop hugging, your big brother has a serious puffy infection.”

Nezmaar said nonchalantly, and then she ripped the girl out of Joshua’s arms. .

Afterwards, she ignored the girl’s staring at her, chanted the incantation softly, and the faint green light of the [Healing Hand] lit up on her hand.

…………

“Using human action to channel the power of authority is the most effective way to combat the reverberation of mythology on the mind.”

Step by step Cass recalled the words William taught him during training.

As Cass, who holds the authority of the Divine King Oka, he doesn’t need to be so troublesome to rush over to fight the monster. He can even stand on the field ridge and directly draw in the sky with a look. The thunder chops the opponent to death.

It was as if he had sent the boy to a safe place in an instant, like this short-distance tearing space flashed, he could do it with a single thought.

But William wouldn’t allow him to.

“For mortals, an idea must be realized through action. Even a magic caster needs to construct spells to guide magic to accomplish miracles. If you are accustomed to using a glance If you solve the problem with a single thought, your spirit will resonate with the Divine King Oka in the Blackwater mythology in the unnoticeable influence, and eventually get lost in authority, gradually lose your personality and become a disaster.”

“Then what should I do?”

Cass asked during training.

“Fight like a mortal, how you fought before you gained power, and how you fought after.”

William so replied.

“I don’t understand, do you mean to let me give up using that power?”

“Of course not, but you can’t see this authority as part of yourself, Instead, it should be regarded as an external force, just like the sword in your hand and the armor on your body. Use your actions to guide authority, not your thoughts. Only in this way can you truly tame this arrogant Power.”

Power often requires a lot of self-imposed restrictions to keep the user from getting lost. In the golden calendar, such transcenders are called “sworn ones”, and they will even make orders His own oath to die to restrain his arrogance.

So he needs to have the action of running, and then shorten the process through authority. That’s why he needs to wrap the thunder on the sword first, and then use that sword to meet the enemy.

Going directly to the goal with only thought is the realm of God.

That’s too arrogant and too boring.

It is the mortal who learns how to circumnavigate the long way.

With the last step taken, Cass flashed to the Blessed One, the Judgement Four in his hand thundered around, and a heavy sword stabbed the opponent’s throat.

The other party opened his mouth as expected, and countless flies flew out of its mouth. From a distance, it seemed to be spewing a thick “weng weng” sound. Black fog.

Cass was instantly submerged in the continuously black mist.

Liz, who had been watching the battle not far away, let out a loud cry, and then she looked nervously towards William who was beside her.

William is also sighed.

“Tsk, still can’t control it?”

His tone barely fell, a few silver lightnings faintly appeared in the black fly mist, and then became more and more It became more and more dazzling, and finally became a level of brilliance that made people have to turn their eyes away.

Those flying flies were instantly turned into dust in this dazzling lightning, and then the blessed one became a charred skeleton in the dance of thunder.

Then the few lightning bolts spread out into a dense net of lightning, and the dozens of swollen walking corpses around them were all turned into coke and fell to the ground.

After the thunder net dissipated, only Cass was left standing there, and a large circle of land around him became shattered scorched earth.

The sword in his hand was stuck on the ground.
