rune hunter

Chapter 59
The moment the light from the two runes merged, El suddenly found that everything around him had come to a standstill.Scout Mantes' long blade stopped abruptly without warning, only half a meter away from his chest.But if you look closely, you can see that it is still slowly moving forward.El soon discovered that this strong contrast between movement and stillness did not come from the outside world, but that he himself seemed to have entered a state of infinite magnification of thinking and senses.

There was a clear and powerful beating sound from the blood vessels in the ears. A certain substance in the body was secreted in large quantities due to the threat of life and death, and entered the blood, causing the beating frequency of the heart to suddenly increase, and the muscles in the whole body lost all hidden strength. Reservations burst out.

As far as he could see, massive amounts of data emerged from the swarming praying mantis monsters.The distance between the seven praying mantis monsters was less than two meters, and the fourteen long blades formed an inescapable net.The incoming attack evolved into a linear trajectory, almost blocking all evasion routes.Only a little light condenses in the most central position, and that is the only way to survive from death.

Since you can't hide, then there's no need to hide, El roared, raised the ax in his hand and chopped along the light he saw.A flowing blue light shone from the axe, directly colliding with the crossed long blades at the front.

The surprise on the Mantes scout's face quickly turned into panic. According to the order conveyed by Her Royal Highness Princess Langaria, this daring human must be killed.At first they just didn't expect this guy to escape so fast, and then he suddenly showed amazing archery skills.In their impression, only the most elite scouts of the drow empire have such abilities, but that's all.

No matter if it has two legs or four legs, it is impossible to go faster than the wings after all, and no matter how good the arrow is, it is a hasty counterattack, and it is impossible to cause fatal damage to the Mantes clan with strong regenerative ability.As the personal guard of the War King Worm, Mantes scouts often have to face various types of raiders.Whether it is an archer or an assassin, such an agile target has a wealth of experience in dealing with it.

However, what really surprised them was that this human being still possessed the melee strength of a commander, waiting for an opportunity to cut off the same race that rushed in front of him.After that, he erupted again, and the faint blue light soared into the sky, and all the Mantes scouts immediately felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

El struggled to get a knife, and stood up and slammed into the arms of the mantis monster closest to him. His impact was heavy and fierce, and the chest of the mantis monster collapsed directly.Scout Mantes' body needed to change shape constantly, and the bones in his body were fragile and soft. They were almost completely shattered by this blow, and blood spurted from all seven orifices.

If there is a little buffer time, this Mantes scout can rely on his own resilience to get up and continue fighting, but his opponent is obviously not so kind.Although he didn't understand the opponent's biological talent, but as a hunter, El knew the truth of killing a snake and being bitten by a snake. He cut open the belly of the praying mantis monster with an axe, and at the same time pushed it into the light of the knife wielded by his companion.

Although the Mantes scouts were all resolute fighters, they hesitated a little in front of the corpses of their fellow clansmen.There are also vicious people who have accelerated their impact speed, wanting to kill both their own family and their target.At this moment, a slight gap appeared in their tacitly coordinated lore formation.

El took another step forward, pushed away the still twitching corpse in his hands, clenched the forged steel ax with both hands, let out another rock-splitting roar, and rushed towards another praying mantis monster that swooped down. .

He danced the shining ax into a dark blue light curtain, rushing forward in the dark woodland with the sound of tearing wind.The jumping light curtain came into contact with the figures of the monsters and then separated. Everything blocking him was knocked into the air, bounced off, and torn apart.

Wherever the light curtain went, there was a rapid and fierce clash of blades, muffled roars and sharp screams mixed together, the long blade cut through flesh and blood, the ax cut through the throat, red and green blood splattered in the darkness Spray everywhere.

The dazzling fireworks quickly dissipated, and when the faint blue light curtain also disappeared, the land returned to darkness and silence again.Both sides, who were not afraid of death, chose to use offense instead of defense, so the chaotic battle lasted only for a moment.

El staggered and half-kneeled to the ground.The ax in his hand has long been missing, and he vaguely remembers that it was left on the head of a praying mantis monster, but few people know that the hunter's bow and arrow can also be used as a melee weapon. The last praying mantis monster is He strangled his neck alive with a bowstring.

As the last surviving party, he paid an equally heavy price. The long blade of the Mantes scout left thirteen wounds on his body, one of which rubbed his neck and extended to his chest, almost cutting his neck open .In fact, that was a sure-to-kill knife, but he barely avoided it in the state of accelerated thinking.

The sequelae caused by the fusion of rune power made him lose control of his body the moment he relaxed, and every inch of his muscles twitched involuntarily.With the loss of a large amount of blood, the temperature in the body is also gradually decreasing.Even the piercing pain at the wound couldn't stop the gradual blurring of consciousness in his mind.

El gritted his teeth, forced his stiff body to move to the side of the road, took out a handful of herbs from his pocket, and stuffed them into his mouth indiscriminately, regardless of the variety.

I don't know when Romney will find reinforcements, and the guy may not know that he will survive and go directly to the city to report.If you want to survive these days, you can't rely on others, you can only rely on yourself to save yourself.

Of course El doesn't want to die, he still has a beloved girl at home looking forward to it, so now he wants to live at all costs, desperately.

"I'm not going to die...I want to live." El cursed at the stars in the sky, felt a little strength in his hands, and struggled to take out a spare bandage from his clothes.Although it is not clear where to wrap the bandage now, it is always right to wrap yourself up a few more times to stop the bleeding.

He was about to tear off his coat that had been chopped into pieces, when he suddenly heard the noise behind him, his expression changed slightly.He only heard the whistling of the wind by his ears, he subconsciously turned his body, and another bloody arrow splashed from his shoulder.

When he looked back, what caught his eyes was the ferocious face of the praying mantis monster.

In the end, all the Mantes scouts who participated in the melee combat were killed, and no one was spared.However, a scout who was shot by El before survived tenaciously.His wings were broken when he fell, and there was still an arrow missing from his head, but he survived only because the position of the arrow was slightly deflected.Either way, he's still alive, and a living Mantes scout is still a deadly warrior.

The praying mantis monster was still alive, and El lost hope of surviving, because he had no power to resist.

"You are very kind, boy." The surviving Mantes scout said in a common language that emphasized weirdness, "His Royal Highness will definitely like your head."

Maybe it was because they wanted to tease the dying prey for fun, or because they still had lingering fears about the last madness of the prey, the Mantes scouts didn't immediately attack.

El curled his lips, pointed at him with a middle finger and said, "Give my regards to Your Royal Highness the Princess."

He closed his eyes, murmured Tika's name in his heart, and then quietly waited for the last moment to come.But what he waited for was not the expected blade, but the scream of the praying mantis monster.

El opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the little thing that was hiding in his arms jumping onto the back of the mantis monster. Langa hugged the mantis monster's head tightly with his sharp lower body limbs, and the barb on the tail inserted into the mantis monster's back. into its eye socket.The praying mantis monster screamed and threw away its weapon and grabbed at its own face, but it was of no avail.Blood mixed with brains spurted out of its nostrils, and its tall body fell to the ground involuntarily.

Langa pulled out her tail and let out a humming sound of being full. Her body began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye. A pair of immature and small wings grew out from behind. off the ground.The little thing giggled and flew towards El's arms unsteadily.

Al wanted to touch her head, but couldn't lift his hand.The dodging action just now aggravated the injury on his body, and the blood soaked the ground behind him.

Langa seemed to understand El's thoughts, and carefully landed on El's outstretched palm, widening his eyes as if waiting for the master's praise.

What kind of monster do I raise... El sighed helplessly. This little thing usually pretends to be cute and pitiful. Who would have thought that she would hide such a terrifying aggressiveness.Even with his own strength, he might not be spared if he is not prepared.

The damn kobold was right again, this is not something he can afford at all.

Thoughts have begun to diverge uncontrollably. El knows that this is a signal that his life is about to end. He is no stranger to this state. One winter he was trapped in the mountains by a snowstorm and exhausted his dry food and physical strength. It is almost the same as the current state.

How did I get saved afterward?Can't remember anymore.

In a trance, El felt a pair of small hands patting his face, and seemed to hear the whimper of the little thing, but he couldn't contain his drowsiness, and slowly closed his eyes.

His last feeling was that something was inserted into his heart.

　It’s true that it didn’t exceed 100 yesterday, so... Elder brother’s chicken leg bento, sprinkle flowers at the end~~~ I really want to do this and die to see if it will die, but forget it, Hongzao has a hatchet in his hand ╮( ╯▽╰)╭
