I, Viego, conquer Terra!

He was still too weak to even win a small-scale battle like this, and was easily cornered by the enemy...

If I had known it would be like this, I would have taken a few more puffs of W before leaving, Viego sighed in his heart.

The next moment, another explosion sounded, causing Viego to suddenly raise his head and look in the direction of the explosion.

The sound was very close, as if it had already arrived in front of the woods, or even rushed into the woods on the other side.

Are there still people alive from those two teams, and have they even reached the edge of the woods?

The enemies below also heard the explosion and became a little agitated.

A common question arose in their minds - had the defense line on the other side been breached?

Viego noticed that the enemy was distracted, seized the opportunity, and leaped down from the tree canopy.

The blade covered with black mist slammed down fiercely on the enemy's head!

Pain pierces the soul-youth version!

The sixth man killed was a crossbowman.

Viego simply let go, gave up the long knife stuck in his forehead, pulled out a crossbow arrow from the crossbow quiver on his waist, used it as a dagger, and stabbed it into the neck of another enemy beside him - seven!

Everything happened in just two seconds.

The black fog dissipated, and Viego disappeared again.

As their companion fell to the ground, the mercenaries seemed to be silent, just observing their surroundings vigilantly.

After waiting for a while, Viego did not appear.

"No..." Someone shouted as if awakened from a dream: "The other side! He went to the other side!"

"It's too late." Another magician spoke up, stopping the others from moving. "There are only six of us over there. Regardless of whether he has made it over there or not, we can't split up any further. We must not give him a chance to take advantage of us."

"What should I do?"

The magician who spoke to stop the others looked at the surrounding trees with a fierce look: "Act together, let's withdraw from here, those who know the art of fire source stone, set fire, so that he has no place to hide!"

I have to say, their response was indeed very quick.

Viego did go to the other side of the woods, where the explosion occurred, and eliminated several magicians who were blocking the mercenary team there.

The magicians here were unaware of what was happening in the woods, and didn't even know that Viego could hide himself.

In their opinion, there were twenty-two people on the other side, so how could they not be able to deal with just one person?

——Even though they knew that Viego was a good fighter and had strong healing abilities.

The lack of intelligence on Viego became the cause of their death.

But when Viego arrived, all the people in the two teams had died.

In fact, there were only two people who rushed into the woods at that time. They were holding bombs and intended to die with the enemy.

But in the end, only one crossbowman was injured.

Viego turned around, looked at the burning woods behind him, and understood the enemy's plan.

But this was exactly what he wanted.

Viego took the remaining explosives from the fallen mercenary.

I always feel that I will become a crazy and explosive person like W.

"30 against 1 and still getting killed... do you know how to play?"



Chapter 24: Viego is on his way on horseback

boom--! !

The earth shook and violent explosions occurred among the group of magicians who were leaving the woods.

"It's a bit relaxing... No wonder W likes to be a big bomber, carrying her heavy and big grenade launcher wherever she goes... Oh no, according to this world, it's not called a grenade launcher, but a grenade gun."

The high-pressure operating environment of the Curse of Ruin caused the memories from the Ruined King in Viego's mind to show signs of revival, forcing him to rely on talking to himself to distract himself and calm his mind.

- So as not to be influenced by the obsession of the Ruined King to save Isolde forever.

Even if Viego dies, he will never be able to turn himself back into the bootlicker he once was.

He's had enough.

What's more, Isolde is not just an ordinary bad woman, but a bad woman who possesses several characteristics of a green tea character and double standards. It's even more annoying when you think about it this way!

Viego watched as the bomb exploded among the crowd, causing no casualties.

This is normal - after all, Viego is not like W, an expert in playing with bombs. He cannot accurately calculate the time of the explosion, so he can only throw the bomb out early to avoid it blowing up himself.

This naturally gave the magicians time to react and respond, allowing them to use Originium spells to block the damage from the explosions.

So no one died, only a few people suffered minor injuries due to concussion.

But this was also intentional on Viego's part.

After all, if he blew them to death directly, where would he be able to collect so many high-quality life essences?

Maintaining the Curse of Ruin is a matter of great importance to his life, so any benefit is naturally the better.

The enemies vigilantly formed a circle, with the armored warriors with swords at the outermost edge, and the magicians and crossbowmen at the inner edge.

There were originally thirty of them.

But now there are only fifteen left. Originally there were ten magicians, but now only half of them, that is, five, are left.

——Viego specifically kills the magicians who pose the greatest threat, followed by crossbowmen, and finally the warriors with knives.

When fighting in a team, it is common knowledge for every assassin player to first kill the squishy mages and shooters.

But they made a fatal mistake.

That is, they thought that Viego would be afraid of their concentrated fire attacks as before, and would rely on covert assassinations to kill only one person at a time.

After effortlessly killing the six-man sniper team on the other side of the woods, the "fully restored" Viego was ready to break through head-on!

The figure of the white-haired man appeared before them in a dignified manner.

The pitch-black bomb drew an arc in the air and fell into their formation.

Viego picked up the new long sword he had just picked up, stomped the ground and rushed forward!

What followed was a one-sided massacre, like a tiger among a flock of lambs.

——After all, adult sheep still have a pair of horns, so they may be able to resist a little, but they don’t even have the strength to resist at all, so they can only be called lambs.

Can't blame them either.

After all, who could have imagined that every time Viego killed someone, he would become stronger and that he didn't have any fatal weaknesses in any physical sense?

With the Curse of Ruin filling his body, he was not as afraid of getting hurt as before. Moreover, the number of enemies had been reduced by half. Even if he concentrated his fire, he could not cause the damage that almost killed them instantly like last time.

This is the dimensionality reduction attack from the Curse of Ruin!

Viego deliberately left one person alive, the magician who had previously spoken in the woods to warn others.

He has some questions to ask.

"How do you communicate?"

The magician stared at Viego: "We are not in contact. Everything is planned by that adult..."

"It seems that your master didn't anticipate my presence in his plan." Viego didn't tolerate him at all and started to mock him. "Thirty people can't beat one person. If you tell others about it, it will bring shame to your master."

The magician's face froze, but he soon sneered:

"Heh... so what? Your defeat is certain. Look around. Your mercenary group has suffered more than 70% casualties, while we still have a lot of strength."

After saying this, the magician remained silent no matter how Viego asked.

Viego was too lazy to waste time interrogating him and simply killed him with a single knife.

After defeating the magician team, Viego set out again on the battlefield to look for W and Inès.

He crossed the battlefield and came to the place where Inès and W were attacked by spells.

Sure enough, Viego did not see the bodies of W or Ines or their "fragments" here - the fragments in the physical sense.

Although it seems that they have avoided death, the situation is not optimistic.

Perhaps they were seriously injured or unconscious somewhere?

Otherwise, they would definitely stand up and command the remaining people in the two teams of the mercenary group, instead of allowing the mercenary group to suffer a one-sided defeat like they are doing now.

The sorcerer was right. There were no longer any mercenaries on the nearby battlefield.

The team was completely broken up, most people were fighting and walking, wandering around or being driven to other places by the enemy, or maybe going to inform Hedley and seek his help.

Even if they win this battle, it would be a pyrrhic victory. With only so few people left, the mercenary group will definitely not be able to continue to complete the escort mission, and they may not even get any reward.

Even if you win, you still lose.

Viego shook his head and stopped thinking about things that had nothing to do with him.

Let’s find W and Inès first.

boom--

The sound of explosions came from the battlefield far away in the east.

Viego's eyes lit up.

There are no longer many mercenaries on the battlefield. Even if some mercenaries brought explosives, they must have used up most of their supplies by now.

And at this time, the only one who has the ability and supplies to cause the explosion is most likely that crazy female bomber W.

boom--

The explosion sounded again, making Viego more certain of his guess.

He started running, heading quickly towards the east.

Although W is still alive, the situation is definitely not optimistic. She might have been surrounded by the enemy... otherwise she would not have caused the explosion to attract the enemy's attention when almost all of her own people were killed.

......

Near the site of the explosion.

"You serve as a good bait." W looked at the enemy who was blown into pieces, and turned to look at Ines who was leaning against the tree trunk with a smile.

She had a cloak covering her body. Under the cloak, her clothes were torn in many places and her body was covered with scars from the explosion.

Inès' situation was even worse than hers. She used W to avoid the center of the most powerful force just before the spell came, but she was still seriously injured. She didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Huh... So you can actually laugh in this situation?"

"Don't you still have the energy to argue with me?" W held Ines up, smiling even more brightly. "...It seems that most of our people are dead? No one came to support us."

"...There is an enemy search team in the north. If we bypass them and continue west, we still have a chance of survival." Inès's golden eyes glowed. "...I have a feeling that reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Oh? Then I'll believe you for once. If we have to die, we'll die together." W smiled happily.

Inès ignored her and just stared at the hole in her field of vision, on the chaotic battlefield filled with shadows, that had no "shadow" and was rapidly approaching them from the west.

It's him......

Unexpectedly, at this time, the only support would be Viego, the man she had always been wary of.

"Heh..." Inès chuckled with an ambiguous tone.

Chapter 25: The child is just joking

W and Inès walked through the ruins of a building.

"Hiss..." W gritted his teeth and inhaled, his breathing obviously getting heavier. "Are those idiots behind us from Pero? They can hold us tightly, they are really hard to deal with..."

The search team coming from the north behind them was following closely behind W and Inès.

Both of them were seriously injured, and they were physically exhausted and couldn't move quickly. They only relied on the ruins of the building and Ines's perception ability to avoid the enemy's searches several times, which is why they were able to hold on until now.

But by now, W, who had been dragging Ines all the way, was obviously running out of energy.
