Ye Xiao was lost in thought as he was being chased by the scorpion-tailed lion and rolled all over the ground. It was not that he did not want to fight back, but fighting back would be useless except for wasting his energy.
Even the Grandmaster's sword strike couldn't kill this thing, and ordinary slashes couldn't even break the metal scales on its body. There was nothing he could do except dodge.
But then again, only the right half of this guy is flesh and blood, so where did the left half go?
As soon as this thought came into Ye Xiao's mind, another eardrum-piercing roar sounded in his ears.
Seeing another scorpion-tailed lion with only the left half of its body remaining flesh and blood flying out from the edge of the tower top, Ye Xiao felt extremely overwhelmed.
What followed was probably the most embarrassing battle Ye Xiao had ever experienced since he came to this world. He was beaten by two scorpion-tailed lions like they were playing whack-a-mole on the platform on the top of the tower, and he was forced to flee in panic.
If the camera is pulled away, it looks like two big cats are chasing a jumping mouse in the living room. The scene is not too cruel.
【3: 52】
Almost there, I feel like my mental strength will be fully restored in another half a minute.
Ye Xiao dodged by circling around the big crystal ball, the only obstacle on the top of the tower. The two scorpion-tailed lions were so angry that they kept slapping the cunning human with their claws.
But if it accidentally hits the crystal ball, the fan-shaped impact of the crystal ball will send the scorpion tail lion flying far away.
By using the crystal ball's miraculous defense mechanism, Ye Xiao was able to save his life from the beating of two scorpion-tailed lions.
"Huh...ha..."
Ye Xiao held onto the crystal ball and breathed heavily. It could only be said that this was really extraordinary torture. He was afraid that his physical strength would be exhausted before his mental strength recovered.
Fortunately, non-aggressive touches did not seem to trigger the crystal ball's defense mechanism, so Ye Xiao's small action would not be bounced away by the crystal ball.
But what left him speechless was that a resident of Hope Town suddenly jumped out from the exit of the stairs at the top of the tower, standing on all fours.
The eyes on his ferocious face locked onto Ye Xiao who was leaning on the crystal ball the moment he came out.
As the townsman roared and leaped out, countless townspeople and alchemy guards ran out of the stairs like a dam that had been opened.
The last half minute seemed like an eternity.
Unable to evade the attack, Ye Xiao bent down to avoid the townspeople who flew over his head, and chopped down the alchemist guard who had rushed to him with one sword. But the moment the man fell, the alchemist guard behind him stabbed out the spear in his hand, which hit Ye Xiao's shoulder and pierced through the lining of the rune armor.
He felt the pain but could not delay at all. He cut off the spear head with a knife and rolled over. As soon as his front foot stepped on the ground, several holes were pierced by the spears.
The townspeople's arms, although they have no rules for punching and kicking, grow sharp metal blades. Driven by the instinct of wild beasts, they rush forward and swing their weapons randomly, causing Ye Xiao, who is overwhelmed, to get injured repeatedly.
He had no choice but to dodge and continuously hack at the crystal ball behind him, using the constantly activated defensive impact to repel the dense crowds of people who were rushing up.
The scorpion-tailed lion in mid-air was still watching his weakness and took the opportunity to swoop down and swing its claws. Ye Xiao, whose hands and feet were restrained by the crowd, found it difficult to dodge, and a hideous crack was torn on his waist.
With blood staining his collar, Ye Xiao tried to roll over, but was immediately grabbed by the arm by the townspeople who rushed over.
The metal nails penetrated deeply into the arm, causing Ye Xiao's dodging movement to pause.
Countless alchemy guards and townspeople took the opportunity to pounce on him, ready to eat Ye Xiao in an instant like wild beasts fighting for food.
【3: 26】
Fortunately, Ye Xiao saw that the mental power on the character panel finally reached its peak the moment he fell to the ground.
He held the staff in his hand and chanted a spell, "Great God, I pray to you..."
More and more townspeople rushed forward, forming a wriggling hill that almost submerged Ye Xiao.
But the next moment, a black flame shot up into the sky, and the huge energy that suddenly exploded blew away the stacked townspeople and alchemy guards one after another.
This is the holy flame that Ella took from Osmond, but under the influence of the evil god's power, the originally golden flame turned into a ball of ink-black.
Ye Xiao stood up with his staff raised high. The blazing black flame at the tip of the staff shot straight into the sky and transformed into a powerful and ferocious storm.
Around him, countless townspeople climbed up and rushed towards him, roaring. Two scorpion-tailed lions in the sky swooped down with their bloody mouths opened wide.
In the crowd, Ye Xiao jumped up, holding the staff in both hands, roared and chopped down the crystal ball fiercely.
Chapter 51: Miracle Master
Black flames gushed out in a fan shape, covering half of the top of the tower.
The crystal ball was covered in flames that almost devoured everything, and the two infected manticores were also burning with black flames, like falling fireballs sliding down from the sky with tails of flames.
But Ye Xiao, who was panting, still had a frown on his face, because he saw that the countdown of the system had not stopped.
【3: 20】
Strong wind pressure suddenly erupted from the center of the flame, blowing away the black flames and revealing the huge, intact crystal ball, as well as a blonde girl standing in front of the crystal ball, her body wrapped in amber-like blue magic.
The girl had an indifferent expression. Even though her body was burned black by the black fire, one could vaguely see the golden threads stretching out from her wounds and quickly weaving new skin.
"Freya..."
Ye Xiao read out the name of the person who came.
This is a big trouble...
Ye Xiao took a deep breath, and stood in front of him, holding a staff in one hand and a sword in the other.
His mental and physical strength were exhausted, and Freya's figure was flickering in his vision.
Challenging an enemy who has reached the god level in this state would be very dangerous.
Looking at the exhausted Ye Xiao, Freya's stern face did not react at all. She just raised her hand slightly, and the golden silk threads floating on her arm weaved into a spear in front of her body.
"Freya... I don't know how that guy Evans deceived you." Ye Xiao said while panting, "But he was the one who killed your mother... He is not as great as you think he is. You are just a tool for him to usurp the power of God!"
It’s not that Ye Xiao suddenly started to talk a lot of nonsense, it’s just... he really can’t fight anymore. He never talks nonsense when he can beat someone, but if he really can’t beat someone, he can only try to convince them with reason.
His verbal persuasion was his last effort, if he failed he would die.
"Swish" the spear shot straight towards Ye Xiao without any delay. Ye Xiao kicked his legs hard to avoid the sharp tip of the spear, but the magic power rotating and wrapping around the gun still took away the flesh and blood on half of his arm, and plowed a huge gully on the floor behind him.
The townspeople and alchemy guards in the rear were also crushed to pieces by the power of the spear.
Hiss, it seems like this paragraph is useless... I have to change it...
"Do you think you can escape from your own heart by keeping silent?" Ye Xiao rolled on the ground, ignoring the pain in his hands and talking non-stop, "Look up at the sky, at the millions of people in the square who are about to be sacrificed by you. They are believers like you, your friends..."
Damn, I said the wrong thing! This guy seems to have no friends!
Another spear flew towards him, and Ye Xiao rolled over again in a panic. However, due to the injuries on his body and the lack of physical strength that could not be recovered even after taking drugs, this time half of his lower abdomen was torn apart by the magic power on the tip of the spear.
Blood seemed to be spilled all over the ground. The severe pain made Ye Xiao's face twisted. He realized that he would not be able to dodge again.
The next shot would be his death.
"...Freya Noyce! Think carefully about who you are, think about your mother, are you really willing to become a tool of your enemy..." Ye Xiao was still talking even when he was about to die. This was probably just stubbornness.
Freya's stern face suddenly hesitated.
done?
Seeing this scene, Ye Xiao, covered in blood, lay on the ground, as if he had found a glimmer of hope.
But then, he saw Freya's mouth corners slightly raised, as if with a hint of teasing.
This was an expression he had never seen on this girl before.
"I know it all too well, so I'll kill you and then Evans."
Huh? What does this answer mean? ?
Ye Xiao opened his eyes wide, watching the next rapidly flying spear instantly enlarge in his field of vision.
Since his verbal persuasion had never been successful, he might as well change his job to a bard after his resurrection... This was the last thought in Ye Xiao's mind.
The next moment, the raging magic power instantly shattered his upper body, and the blood foam was swept into a spiral of wind and dissipated in the air.
Freya didn't even look at Ye Xiao, who had only the lower half of his body left. She looked up at the imperial city hanging upside down in the sky and raised one hand as if she wanted to hold it in her palm.
As she bent her fingers, the huge magic circle operating in the cathedral square suddenly accelerated, and thunder and flashing lightning appeared in the thick clouds in the sky.
"So you are so ruthless. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me waste so much time talking to you." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in Freya's ears.
She suddenly turned her head and saw Ye Xiao standing beside her with his hands in his pockets looking at her.
"You are not dead?" Even Freya was a little surprised by the scene before her.
She clearly saw with her own eyes that the brass spear shattered the opponent's entire upper body. This guy was just an ordinary person and had no supernatural powers. How could he not die?
“I was quite surprised, too.”
Ye Xiao shrugged and took out a pendant dyed blood red from his pocket.
[Item: Hyde's Pendant (activated)]
[Introduction: The inheritance of the miracle magician who was nourished by the Holy Spring of Life, awakened after being baptized by the Holy Spring and experiencing death for the first time]
The thing is still the same, but the introduction above has changed.
After returning from the Howling Mountains, Ye Xiao thought that he would never be able to use this thing again, so he threw it into the space ring and never took it out, just like those quest props that he was reluctant to sell but didn't know how to use.
I didn't expect that it would be activated after I died once... As for the holy spring baptism mentioned in it, Ye Xiao could only think that it was referring to the sea of corpses and blood in Tianqin Peak.
At the same time, a new branch emerged from his skill tree panel - Miracle Master.
What just resurrected Ye Xiao was a passive skill called "Death Rewind", which reverses the player's personal time after death and restores him to full health.
It can be said that it is worthy of being the strongest mage profession that can manipulate time and space. This skill alone can be considered a magical skill.
Unfortunately, it can only be used once a day, and Ye Xiao has already used it today.
"I don't know how you survived." Freya said grimly, "but I just need to kill you one more time."
"Haha, this time it may not be as simple as you thought." Ye Xiao moved his shoulders, put away the pendant, and took out a gold coin from his pocket.
[Item: Mammon's Crown (Activation Effectiveness 10%)]
[Introduction: With this item, one can exercise the authority of the Greedy Witch and apply all contract spells whose contract objects are Mammon. It is also a symbol of her followers. With the blessing of the demon god, the user will be able to pay a certain price to restore physical and mental strength. ]
There was also one more item in the item introduction. Although he didn't know the price to be paid, Ye Xiao held the gold coin. As long as he thought about it, the physical and mental strength bars on the character panel surged forward like a fountain.
This is much better than any recovery medicine. I have to thank this Demon Sister when I get back.
Freya looked at this scene and just raised her arm. The golden silk thread once again weaved into a terrifyingly powerful spear, but the number was no longer just one. Instead, it spread like ripples and transformed into countless spears that almost occupied the entire sky.
At the same time, two deafening roars sounded again, and two scorpion-tailed lions with their bodies completely covered with brass parts soared into the sky again. This time, their bodies were completely made of alchemical parts, and their huge wings covered the sky like soaring dragons.
The girl's cold voice sounded, like a death announcement to the mortal in front of her:
"Ants are ants after all. How dare a mortal dare to challenge a god."
Ye Xiao held the gold coins tightly in his left hand and the staff in his right hand, looking at the arrogant Freya, the scorpion-tailed lion swooping down with its back to the sky, and the army of alchemy guards surging like a tide, but the corners of his mouth only slightly raised.
【2: 30】
"Then you have to watch carefully, the ant in its prime."
Chapter 52: The Mortal Sword
Spears with destructive power fell like raindrops, and the tower was instantly wiped off like a collapsed cake.
Countless alchemy guards that fell as the impact struck grew brass wings on their shoulders. They fluttered in dense swarms under the accumulated clouds, rushing towards a lone figure at the edge of the tower top like countless bats.
The magic power stirred up by the aftermath of the gun array spread out into a storm that swept across the sky. Amidst the flying sand and rocks, Ye Xiao simply leaned back in the air and continued to fall, as if he was lying comfortably in the howling sandstorm, and muttered softly.
"Great God, I pray to you, please grant me the body of a beast to tear apart the invading enemies."
The falling body suddenly passed through a blood-red magic circle. Ye Xiao, with his thick arm covered with white hair, holding the staff, pointed at an alchemy guard who had grown wings and was flying in the air beside Freya.
Phase shift.
The magical power from the miracle magician's bloodline instantly resonated faintly with the space, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Xiao, who was still falling below, had already arrived in front of the surprised Freya.
Before the girl could react, Ye Xiao's beastly right fist hit Freya in the face with unparalleled ferocious force.
The god who was high above in the previous second was hit into the rubble on the top of the tower like a cannonball in the next second.
"How dare you!"
A blue magic shock suddenly exploded from the ruins at the top of the tower, and Freya, who was slowly recovering from her injuries, floated out. Behind her was a huge crystal ball located in the center of the platform at the top of the tower.
The girl's face was filled with anger. She raised her hands high, and the golden threads floating around her body gathered into sharp parts like spider legs and a pair of open wings.
She suddenly leaped up, flapping her wings like a giant wolf spider hunting, and spread her arms to stab Ye Xiao.
Looking at the metal spikes attacking from all directions, Ye Xiao suddenly threw the staff in his hand towards Freya's face.
The next moment, countless spikes pierced out with the sound of breaking wind, but only made the sound of metal clashing with each other, and the figure that should have been there disappeared suddenly.
