I, Viego, conquer Terra!

In the game, this is the E skill of the Ruined King——

Vast scorched earth!

Although using this move brought the power of the Curse of Ruin to the brink of exhaustion, the gains from killing the mercenary captain could barely make up for this expenditure.

At least, it is enough to support Viego and kill the remaining enemies.

After a moment, the battle was over.

The enemies left peacefully.

Viego stepped over the scattered ashen corpses on the ground and headed towards the area where Ines and W were previously, which was bombarded by spells.

"Although the power of the Curse of Ruin is not as strong as before, it is still enough..."

The enemy should not have many elite forces, otherwise they would not have resorted to tactics such as setting traps and sneak attacks.

Inès's perception is very sharp, and W's ability to respond is also not bad. The spell was not cast very quickly, so they should be able to react in time, and there is a high possibility that they have not died from the spell.

Viego wants to find them.

"No one in this world can stop..."

Snapped--!

Holy shit, how could I say something like that?!

Viego covered his mouth with his hand, his expression a little distorted.

Damn, I was a bit too deeply influenced by the Ruined King in the previous battle.

The sequelae are somewhat serious.

If I find those two women later, won’t Isolde come out of my mouth?

Grass.

Chapter 22 No one can stop me!

Viego walked through the battlefield.

This time there was no W or Inès leading the way.

But thanks to the fact that Viego killed all four teams that came to hunt him down, no one noticed him on the battlefield for the time being.

Everyone has their own opponents, and every Sarkaz is busy killing the enemy in front of him.

They had no time to pay attention to Viego.

The team of magicians hiding in the woods paid even less attention to Viego.

Viego was hundreds of meters away from them. On the huge and complex battlefield, a person acting alone would be too small a target and it would be easy for him to hide.

Those magicians focused more on the complete or large-scale teams and battlefields on the battlefield.

But the powerful spells that attacked W and Inès previously never appeared again, so it must not be that easy to cast.

At the same time, Viego also noticed that he was not the only one who wanted to find W and Ines. Everyone knew how important a leader who could command the battle, a "backbone" was in such a battle.

There were also mercenaries with excellent observation and combat capabilities in the mercenary group. They dealt with the enemies and also knew to go to the location where W and Inès were previously located and had been attacked by spells.

But the enemy obviously also knows their importance, so once someone approaches the deliberately cleared area, one or several spells will attack them.

The enemy's tactics were impenetrable, leaving no room for chance.

Viego turned his gaze towards the woods west of the battlefield.

It seems that we have to go and get rid of the enemy mercenary magician team first.

Viego changed direction.

On the way, he rescued a lone mercenary who was fighting with the enemy.

But after killing the enemy, Viego discovered that this lone mercenary had a hideous knife scar on his chest that spread from the chest cavity to the abdomen. The blood had dyed most of his body red, and it was obvious that he was not going to survive.

"Kill... me." The lone mercenary said with difficulty, blood foaming from his mouth.

After the enemy died, the last bit of his courage relaxed, which accelerated his death.

But there was only calmness in his eyes when he looked at Viego, and a hint of relief that was hard to tell whether it was relief or numbness.

Viego sighed and looked down at the mercenary on the ground: "What's your name?"

The mercenary was speechless.

Viego stabbed him through the heart with the knife in his hand.

The Curse of Ruin in his body was slightly replenished by the replenishment of life essence, but Viego did not feel the slightest joy.

"Are all you Sarkaz like this... It's really weird." Viego sighed again. He felt that if he experienced a few more battles like this, he would probably become numb and cold-blooded.

No wonder W is a lunatic, no wonder Inès seems so cold and a little bit arrogant.

If you stay in this kind of environment for a long time and don't find some way to vent your emotions and stress, you would probably turn into some kind of monster.

In comparison, being crazy and cold and arrogant is really nothing.

Viego drew his knife and continued to move towards the woods to the west.

He skirted the edge of the battlefield and arrived at the woods safely without attracting any attention.

Now he was only about a hundred or eighty meters away from the forest that was continuously shooting out magic projectiles.

But Viego did not make any further moves for the time being. He just used a huge rock to hide himself to avoid being exposed to the sight of the magicians in the woods.

There is at least a whole team of magicians hidden inside. W once said that any sane enemy would never let the magician team be exposed to the enemy's sight without protection.

Therefore, there will be at least one or several teams in the woods, dedicated to protecting the magician team inside.

There is no cover in the 100-meter-long area between Viego and the woods. It is very difficult, almost impossible, to sneak through without attracting the enemy's attention.

And once he attracts the enemy's attention, he will definitely be subjected to heavy bombardment from the magicians.

The group of magicians had already attacked Viego once before, and now he appeared in their sight again "unharmed", and the magicians would only attack more ruthlessly than last time.

The power of the Curse of Ruin was not as strong as before the battle began, and Viego could not survive another attack of that intensity.

There was no way to rely on the black fog to cover his tracks and cross the distance of more than 100 meters - if he did that, Viego would probably be exhausted and fall down on the way before he was halfway through the journey.

Have to wait for a chance.

Wait for an opportunity for the enemy to divert their attention, allowing you to finish the journey and reach the woods.

boom--!

The close-range explosion startled Viego, who thought he had been discovered.

But the next moment, he saw two mercenary squads charging towards the woods from the opposite side of the woods.

The two teams fearlessly launched a desperate charge towards the woods 200 meters away in the wilderness with no cover. As they advanced, they threw explosives forward with all their might, not caring about the killing effect at all.

People were constantly hit by spells and crossbow arrows and fell on the way.

But there are always people charging forward, there are always explosions ringing in the ears, and there is always smoke and dust spreading on the road ahead.

"If we kill those magicians, we will have a chance to win--!!" A roar accompanied by the sound of spell explosion came into Viego's ears.

Viego didn't know whether the two teams knew of his existence and deliberately used their lives to create opportunities for him, or they were simply fighting to the death in desperation.

He only knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.

Viego suddenly rushed out from behind the boulder, his body wrapped in black mist, and appeared more than ten meters away in almost the blink of an eye!

Most of the enemies in the woods were obviously attracted by the two teams that kept throwing explosives. It was not until Viego rushed out from behind the boulder for two or three seconds and ran thirty or forty meters away that some magicians and crossbowmen shifted their firepower and aimed at him.

The enemy obviously knew Viego, and they put most of their firepower on Viego. A flood of crossbow arrows and spell creations attacked Viego directly!

but...

At the moment before the attack came, black mist covered Viego's body.

In this vast wasteland, no one can stop me!

Viego's figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived in the woods, in the middle of the magician team.

He thrust his long knife into a warlock who had his back to him.

The dilapidated and ashen face eased a little, and the Curse of Ruin, which was on the verge of exhaustion, was replenished.

At this moment, the enemy finally let out a cry of surprise:

"Enemy attack——that man has come in!!!"

Chapter 23: Thirty against one and being killed, do you know how to play?

In the woods that seemed somewhat deep due to the dense trees, the white-haired man raised his eyes and looked at the fallen magician and the frightened enemies.

"This knife is for Ines and W!"

Isolde, please stop thinking about your bitch Isolde, she is a bad woman, bad woman, bad woman!!!

Viego's expression was a little distorted, but it did not affect his actions at all.

The black mist covered his body again, causing several magic projectiles to fall into the air, splashing only mud on the ground.

"Where did he go?!" The magician who first shouted out the enemy attack turned his head left and right, constantly scanning the surroundings with a hint of panic in his eyes.

This magician had seen Viego on the battlefield. He was also one of the magicians who had launched a fierce attack on Viego and almost killed him.

He had seen the Sarkaz warriors killed by Viego. He had seen the gray skin and bodies of those corpses. The effects, which were like the witchcraft of the ancient Sarkaz tribe, had planted the seeds of fear in his heart.

And now, when Viego really came before him in person, the seed of fear in his heart began to take root and sprout.

Therefore, he had the most intense reaction among all the magicians, and was also the most panicked and vigilant.

However, fear made him lose his calm judgment and led him to the abyss of death.

A faint, thin black mist dissipated, and the figure of a white-haired man appeared behind him.

A sharp pain came, and the long knife pierced through the body.

Viego was once again wrapped in the black mist, avoiding the second round of attacks from the magicians, and then appeared behind a crossbowman in the same way, taking the life of the third person.

The power of Curse of Ruin constantly cycles between being depleted and replenished.

To the enemies in the woods at this moment, he was the evil spirit sent by the god of death to reap their lives.

But Viego could notice that although the enemy was suspicious, they were not afraid.

Their will to fight is strong, and they are also well aware of Viego's current situation of dancing on the edge of a knife.

They and Viego himself knew that Viego could not withstand their concentrated fire, so he could only rely on constantly hiding himself and suddenly appearing to kill one person to slowly wear down their combat effectiveness.

There were a total of thirty of them in the woods, including ten magicians, twelve armored warriors, and eight crossbowmen. Even if they had to allocate some of their men to block the other two teams charging towards the woods, it would definitely be enough for Viego to kill them for a while.

In other words, they can make countless mistakes, but Viego cannot make even a single mistake.

"He has the ability to hide himself. Two or three people form a group, back to back!" Someone has already spoken loudly. "He can't hold on for long. The explosions on the other side have stopped. Others will come to support us soon!"

The enemy took action and quickly approached his companions.

During this process, Viego found an opportunity to kill two people who were a little slower, but the remaining enemies had already reunited with their teammates.

The enemy is very smart, and this makes things difficult.

The explosions had indeed stopped, which meant that the two teams that were charging desperately had most likely been dealt with by the magicians... It seemed that he would not have any backup.

Viego's figure appeared above the crown of a dense tree, looking down at the Sarkaz who were gathered in groups of three or two below.

Killing two or three people at the same time is too risky, and it would be easy to be caught.

The black fog can only make him move quickly and cover his figure, but it can't make him truly invincible. In other words, he is invisible but not untargetable, and can still be killed by AOE.

The nearly exhausted Curse of Ruin did not allow Viego to use the Black Mist too much. Each time he could only hide himself for a second or even less, and then he could use the Black Mist again by replenishing it by killing the next person.

It is equivalent to Samira's E. It refreshes when killing someone, but it cannot refresh if you don't kill anyone, and it will put yourself in danger.

There would be no way to find Ines and W without dealing with the magician team. Moreover, the almost exhausted Curse of Ruin in his body made it impossible for Viego to retreat.
