Chapter 109 Interlude
Deep in the mist-shrouded forest, a carriage is moving forward.
The surrounding environment was dark, with lush trees and fog blocking the sunlight. Even at ten o'clock at noon, being in this forest seemed extremely cold.
Dias sat at the front of the carriage, holding a phantom lantern.
The light dispelled the surrounding darkness, making the horrors deep in the forest afraid to approach, but the faint and shrill howls still made people shudder.
I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage finally drove out of the misty forest.
The bright sunshine spread to the earth, covering the surrounding vegetation with a golden glow. Feeling the long-lost breath of life, Enzo, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but open the window.
"After staying in the Wizarding Academy for half a year, I finally came out for some air."
The carriage was driving on a grassland, feeling the gentle breeze blowing, and Enzo felt happy.
Suddenly, there was a howling sound not far away.
"What's going on?" Enzo frowned.
"Master, we encountered a pack of wolves." Dias stopped the carriage and asked, "It's the wind wolves that often appear in this grassland. Do you need me to go down and deal with them?"
"Wind wolves? Okay, let's go!" Enzo nodded slightly and walked out of the carriage.
On the grassland in the distance, a group of green wind wolves were running towards the direction of the carriage. There were about ten of them. The few wind wolves in the front were about the size of calves and looked very strong and fierce.
The wolves were about to attack, but Dias took his time and slowly drew out the knight's sword.
brush!
A wind wolf jumped up and rushed towards the carriage. Dias swung his sword and made a slash. The flaming fighting spirit was fleeting like fireworks, but with a wailing sound, the wind wolf was in mid-air. Falling.
Holding the knight's sword with both hands, Dias looked indifferent.
Killing a wind wolf with one sword obviously gave the wolves a big shock. These cunning guys did not dare to attack rashly anymore and began to surround the carriage, grinning and roaring.
But the situation did not reach a stalemate, because Diaz quickly made a move.
His steps were disordered and orderly, and he rushed directly towards the wolves. He quickly swung the knight sword in his hand and slashed out flaming sword energy, killing five or six wind wolves almost in an instant.
"Ouch!!" Seeing his companions being slaughtered, the remaining wind wolf suddenly panicked.
Seeing that the situation was not good, they wanted to run away with their tails between their legs, but Dias did not give them a chance and chased after them in one step. The blazing sword energy easily killed each of the wind wolves.
In less than ten minutes, a group of wind wolves were all killed.
"Master, it's settled." Dias shook the blood drops from the knight's sword and returned to the carriage.
"Then keep going." Enzo nodded slightly.
Through the battle just now, he already had a preliminary understanding of Dias's strength.
The strength of the Demon Fighting Knight is higher than that of the Sky Knight. It is said that it has reached its limit and can compete with the third-level wizard apprentice. However, Dias is obviously not to that level yet. At most, it can be compared with the second-level wizard apprentice.
However, considering the various weird methods used by wizard apprentices, this measurement method is not rigorous.
Most of the time, wizards are always stronger than life forms of the same level. In addition to their innate advantages, they are also favored and blessed by the original will of the world.
More than ten days later, outside the wilderness.
The bright moon hangs in the sky, emitting a gentle light.
A carriage parked quietly under the tree, and in the open space next to it, a fire lit by branches was burning. Amidst the crackling sound, the firelight reflected Diaz's shadow.
He sat silently by the fire, roasting a hare in his hand.
At the front of the carriage, Enzo closed his eyes and leaned against the door behind him. His mind was filled with emptiness, as elves-like light spots danced around him and slowly disappeared into it.
Suddenly, a thin sound came from my ears.
Enzo opened his eyelids, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly woke up from his meditative state. Beside the fire, Dias seemed to be aware of the sounds around him, and pressed his palm on the knight's sword at his waist.
"His! Hiss!!"
The surrounding woods shook, and a dozen stiff-moving figures came out. Their clothes were shabby, and their skin was pale and rotten. Although they walked upright, there was no breath of life on their bodies.
"It's a corpse!" Dias drew out his knight's sword.
"Deal with them." Enzo ordered without raising his head.
On the way to Snowhoof City after leaving the academy, this was not the first time that he encountered trouble. The wizarding world was full of all kinds of weirdness. The so-called corpses were often formed by hunters who died unexpectedly in the forest and were infected by the dark atmosphere.
This monster cannot be killed by swords, but it is extremely afraid of fire.
Waving his long sword, Dias rushed forward.
The ghouls were very powerful, but their movements were very slow. Although there were more than a dozen of them, they were vulnerable to Dias's flame fighting energy, and most of them were eliminated in a few minutes.
Enzo withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and planned to continue meditating.
However, at this moment, a feeling of palpitations suddenly came to his heart. Enzo opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a gust of cold wind behind him. He turned around and saw a black shadow coming towards him.
choke!
When the knife stabbed out, a look of ecstasy appeared on the black shadow's face, but then, the blade shattered the afterimage, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his figure suddenly retreated back.
Witchcraft - afterimage clone!
"Who are you?" Enzo appeared not far away with an expressionless face.
The shadow's eyes changed, and his steps suddenly retreated.
Phew!
At this moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from his lower back, and a look of pain appeared on the black shadow's face. He turned around with difficulty, but only saw a twisted black mist-like shadow assassin, which turned into black smoke in the next moment. go.
On the other side, Diaz has already dealt with the corpse.
He quickly ran to Enzo's side and looked around vigilantly, while the black shadow injured by the shadow assassin knelt weakly on the ground, and black energy continued to leak out of the wound.
"Dias, arrest him and interrogate him." Enzo frowned and ordered.
Although he encountered several troubles on the way out of the academy, they were all different from this time. The other party first used the corpse to attract Dias' attention, and then attacked. It was obvious that he was well prepared.
"Yes, Master." Dias responded and walked forward.
At this moment, the injured attacker coughed violently, with an extremely painful expression on his face. From his mouth and nose, clouds of black gas came out, and then, black flames ignited on his body.
"This" Dias stopped hesitantly.
Enzo narrowed his eyes, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.
In a matter of moments, the attacker's body was burned away, leaving only the remaining ashes, forming a strange rune pattern on the ground.
