Chapter 539:

"You are too slow, Romani... Well, since the contract has been concluded, should I call you Master?" Ushiwakamaru's cute face showed a puzzled expression.

Roman nodded: "It doesn't matter, as you like."

"That's the Master. After you have the official title, you will feel like you are going to fight, so let's go, Master!"

Roman felt Ushiwakamaru grabbing his arm and suddenly tightened: "Wait, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly carrying me on your shoulders?!"

"Grit your teeth, or you'll bite your tongue."

"Please give up the struggle, Mr. Romani, no, Master, Yuan Yoshitsune is self-willed, and everyone has no way to persuade him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ushiwakamaru, who had already carried Roman on his shoulders, jumped out from the second floor of the villa, his body gliding like a swallow, and his graceful figure slid to the roof thirty meters away, the clogs under his feet quietly. He touched the roof silently, but Roman didn't even feel a pause in his body, and the scenery in front of him refreshed again.

"So fast. Ushiwakamaru, what kind of agency are you, Rider?"

"You guessed it right, Master, you really have eyes like torches."

No, it's just a very ordinary judgment. With such a fast speed, there is only the Rider job. In addition, Lancer is generally able to increase his instantaneous speed in a short period of time, even surpassing Rider.

Therefore, Musashibo Benkei can also follow Ushiwakamaru, and even if he is a little behind, he can follow in the blink of an eye.

The line of defense from the villa to the south is not short. If Roman was to hurry, it would take more than an hour. But Ushiwakamaru carried Roman and kept jumping on the heights, and he could reach it in more than ten minutes.

Of course, the side effects were also obvious. After suddenly stopping, Roman felt that there were snowflakes in front of him.

When Roman was put on the ground by Ushiwakamaru, his legs felt a little weak.

"Please help me, I feel a little dizzy." Roman's hand was on Ushiwakamaru's shoulder, probably because he understood Roman's fragility, Ushiwakamaru didn't move. However, Roman later found that it was too quiet here. Not to mention Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo Benkei, the soldiers who were supposed to guard here did not appear.

"Something happened, Master." Ushiwakamaru said, her voice sounding very heavy.

"What happened... um!" Roman's sight has returned to normal, but he was also startled by the scene in front of him at this time.

The soldiers guarding here did not leave, but now they can't move because they have all been turned into stone statues.

Some of them still maintained an offensive posture, some showed a determined look on their faces, and some showed fear. Some people fled back, looking flustered, but not chaotic.

Not one escaped, all turned into stone statues and stayed in place. If an enemy invades, it is impossible for them to petrify without any room for resistance, which means that they are all destroyed in an instant.

"Petrification? It petrifies everyone in an instant. This is not something that ordinary magic can do. The ability to petrify such a large area is only the legendary petrified magic eye."

The petrified magic eye, that is the highest-ranked magic eye that exists only in the age of the gods, and everything seen by the petrified magic eye is turned into stone. In addition to the props that specifically resist the petrification magic eye, the only way to delay the petrification process can only rely on its own magic power. Among the many petrified magic eye users, the most famous is Medusa, the third sister of the three Gorgon sisters. According to legend, she will lure passing heroes and then petrify them. But the reason why Medusa with the petrified magic eye is famous is not because of the power of the petrified magic eye, but because Medusa was killed by the hero Perseus.

Perseus cut off Medusa's head and dedicated it to the goddess Athena, who inlaid Medusa's head in the center of the Aegis Aegis to become a powerful shield.

Could it be that the 'familiar' that Stheno said was actually referring to the petrified demon eye? If it is a petrified magic eye, then it is understandable. Throughout many myths, there are only a handful of people with petrification abilities, not to mention the petrification magic eye.

"Could it be Medusa who is making trouble here?" The thought popped into Roman's mind, but he was immediately denied by himself. If the troublemaker here was really Medusa, Steno wouldn't even recognize it. Although there are not many exchanges, Roman can already be sure that Steno is an out-and-out sister-in-law. If she really can't recognize Medusa, she might as well be killed in Avalon's sea of ​​flowers. .

"Msater, are they dead?"

"No, they are still saved." Roman checked the stone statues and found that they had not been petrified for a long time, not more than half an hour.

"There is still a chance to be saved. Ushiwakamaru, your speed is relatively fast, so please go to King Gilgamesh and tell him the situation here. I think he should have a solution. Lancer, please continue with me. Looking deeper, I don't know where the petrified monster went, I must investigate it clearly."

"I see, Benkei, you have to protect Master."

"Don't worry, Gen Yoshitsune-sama. As long as I am alive, the Master will surely survive."

Ushiwakamaru nodded, then jumped up like a swallow, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a black spot from Roman's field of vision. The speed was twice as fast as when she came. It seems that she has taken care of Roman's enduring just now. ability.

"Lancer, let's go and find the culprit before the new victims show up."

PS: I just forgot that I didn’t update yesterday, and I still have a lot of manuscripts.

In the evening was pulled to participate in chorus training. When it comes to the competition, you can lead the entire choir, and it will be exciting to think about it.

"Hellscream" seems to be very domineering, but "Edogawa in the music industry" is also very literary.

Chapter 853 Chapter 366 Snake and Owl (End)

Roman took Musashibo Benkei to move on. On the way, Roman found the non-commissioned officer he saw yesterday afternoon. He was standing on the front line of the defense, his body was still in an offensive posture, his face showed a hideous expression, and the spear in his hand had been stabbed out. It is a pity that he has encountered different enemies in the past. No matter how much defense he has done, when the level of the enemy exceeds this level, it is no longer something that can be changed by hard work.

There is still time, the magic power in the stone statue is still flowing, and the people inside have not completely died, so the power of petrification is still running. But when these people are completely finalized, they are really dead, and they can only go to the underworld to see them again.

I have to say that the human beings of the Age of Gods are not comparable to modern people, and they can even resist the petrified demon eye.

I hope Ushiwakamaru can arrive in time.

Roman found a crushing mark, which was both long and wide, as if some kind of cylinder was pressed down. He thought of the giant snake he had seen last night, and the trace was at least twice as big as those giant snakes. But the strange thing is that there is only one trace leading to the depths, that is to say, after the giant snake came out from the inside, or returned from the outside, there was no other movement.

According to the direction the soldiers were guarding, there was no doubt that the giant snake was coming from further south. But if you judge it, the giant snake will suddenly disappear at the position of the dent, because the trace is interrupted here. Could it be that the giant snake went back according to the traces it came out?

Roman thinks this is unlikely. Even if the giant snake is willing to do this, the snake's crawling cannot completely coincide with the original trace.

Moving forward along the snake marks, I don't know how far they walked, the two entered the woods, and suddenly felt a cold feeling.

"Master, please be careful."

Hearing Musashibo Benkei's reminder, Roman discovered that there were owls standing on the branches. These birds, which were supposed to come out for food at night, actually woke up at this time, and Roman could also see the tiredness caused by the forced awakening of these owls.

Huge eyes stared at the two men, and these owls, with red eyes, were obviously transformed by magic.

"careful!"

Without warning, these owls swooped down from the branches. They were not birds known for their flying speed, but this time they were lightning fast, and their sharp beaks shone with cold light.

Faster than the owl is Musashibo Benkei's Naginata. Before the owl approached, Naginata had already cut down the owl, and the corpse, which had been severed in two, was separated from left to right. But from the violent cutting sound, it can be judged that these owls are no longer ordinary flesh and blood, and their bodies are close to the strength of demon beasts.

So much change happened in just one night, what happened during this period?

The owls were obviously under control, they had no idea what death was, and kept shooting like raindrops. Musashibo Benkei's Naginata was impenetrable, and every owl that tried to attack him was killed by him, and the corpses piled up on the ground. But even so, the owl did not stop, and there was no end in sight, as if there were countless owls—just like the monsters driven by the goddess of monsters.

-Have we been found? Since the owl is here, the serpent should also be nearby.

When Roman was protected by Musashibo Benkei, he did not choose to retreat immediately, but tried to find the shadow of the giant snake, but found nothing. Even at the end of the original dent, nothing could be seen—

Suddenly, Roman discovered a strange place. The corpses of the owls cut down by Musashibo Benkei stopped without any struggle. What's more, there was no blood coming out of the owl's carcass.

"Lancer, these owls have no blood, they are not real owls, you have to be careful."

"what?!"

Musashibo Benkei was attracted by Roman's words, his movements slowed down, and he was overwhelmed by owls in the blink of an eye.

"Lancer!" Roman was about to use the Command Spell to support him, but before he could use the Command Spell, the magic power of the person in front of him erupted.

"Drink ah ah ah ah!!!"

The owl that submerged Musashibo Benkei was bounced off instantly, all the owls that approached were torn apart, and a vacuum belt appeared centered on Musashibo Benkei.

Roman saw that Musashibo Benkei didn't have the slightest wound on his body, and it seemed that the owl couldn't hurt the Servant's body.

"Retreat, Master. I've heard more owls flying over, and if we stay, we'll be stuck and unable to move forward."

Roman looked at the woods, and indeed saw a dense cloud approaching fast. The number of owls had piled up as thick as a dark cloud, and it seemed that the source was deep.

He also understands that now is not the time to stay, because these owls seem to be endless. Although they can't get to Musashibo Benkei, it seems that Musashibo Benkei does not have the ability to kill all owls at one time. It is not wise to continue entanglement with owls. choose. After all, Roman's magic is limited, and owls seem endless.

"Then withdraw for the time being..."

Before he could speak, Roman felt the ground start to shake. After passing through the dense forest, the light that finally sparsely sprinkled on the fallen leaves and the owl carcass also disappeared, and the black shadow kept shaking, making people feel dizzy.

There was a "hissing" rubbing sound behind him, and the cold feeling made one couldn't help shivering. Roman looked back subconsciously, and a giant snake with a diameter of more than two meters was already standing tall. Scarlet eyes stared at him, and the viscous venom kept falling from its mouth, corroding the soil on the ground.

The rustling sound on the ground did not stop. Roman couldn't help but look over and found that the bodies of the owls that had been killed were decomposing one by one, and then they were combined into the body of a giant snake bit by bit.

It turns out that I finally understand why the crawling traces of the giant snake suddenly disappeared. That is because the giant snake is born out of nothing, and it can naturally turn into nothingness. Even Roman felt that the giant snake could be decomposed and combined to become an owl and fly away.

The huge body of the giant snake was completed in an instant. It was like waking up from a deep sleep, and it saw Roman at the first sight. It grew its mouth, revealing slender fangs, and planned to swallow Roman whole.

Roman took out his long sword and swung it forward, and the sword energy shot out from the long sword and shot into the fragile mouth of the giant snake. He saw the inner body of the viper was torn, but he still couldn't see the blood coming out, and even before he could make the next move, more owls tried to start disintegrating, and then filled the torn wound.

"Hiss!" There is no fierceness at all. It is not known whether it is a living creature, but the giant snake looks at Roman, and pounces on him with its mouth open.

With Roman's body, it was too late to avoid the giant snake's attack, but before the giant snake swallowed Roman, Musashibo Benkei had already blocked in front of Roman, and the naginata in his hand blocked the snake's fangs.

"Master, please get out of here as soon as possible. The poor monk will stop this giant snake now, don't worry, at the speed of the poor monk, you will be able to catch up soon."

"I trust your speed, but...I really can't run now."

It turned out that when the new giant snake was completed, the two of them were surrounded by four giant snakes.

"You can't stay here, Lancer, it would be bad if you were surrounded by snake bodies."

Tiancong Yunjian burst into golden light, and with a swipe in front of him, the two snake heads that rushed over left the body and fell to the ground. But the moment the snake head fell to the ground, it turned into ashes and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then a new snake head appeared in its original position.

However, as expected, Roman did not stand in place stupidly. Taking advantage of the time when the giant snake recovered, he had already left the encirclement of the giant snake. At the same time, he saw that these snakes had unknowingly surrounded them with their bodies. around the two.

If the giant snakes are allowed to surround them, it won't take long for them to move, and then they will be swallowed by the giant snakes like little mice.

However, compared to Roman, who had escaped the siege, Musashibo Benkei was not so lucky. His naginata was still holding the fangs of the giant snake, and the tail of another giant snake had swept over and hit him in the back.

A mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, and the arms that resisted the snake's head shook slightly, but it still resisted, and his body did not even bend.

Then came another snake tail.

- Whoosh!

An afterimage flashed past, and someone appeared beside Musashibo Benkei, resisting him from his original position. At the same time, the head and tail of the snake that was about to capture Musashibo Benkei were cut off.

The two quietly fell to Roman's side.

It was Ushiwakamaru who came back. She not only rushed to the palace to see Gilgamesh, but also rushed back from the palace in time.

"Are these poisonous snakes the murderers who petrified everyone? They're not very powerful, why are you so embarrassed?"

"Come back, Ushiwakamaru." Roman heaved a sigh of relief, "Don't underestimate these poisonous snakes, they are not ordinary snakes. Look, they have been resurrected."

Before two words were said, the giant snake had already recovered. They found that the prey had escaped, but soon found the three who were already standing not far away.

"Lord Yuan Yoshitsune, please put me down, I haven't been hurt enough to fight."

Musashibo Benkei broke free from Ushiwakamaru's hand and returned to the ground.

The beating of the giant snake did not cause much damage to him. Whether it was physical or mental, Musashibo Benkei was very tenacious. If it were Roman, he would probably have been caught by now.

In fact, even without Ushiwakamaru, Roman and Musashibo Benkei were able to successfully leave the battlefield. After all, it was only because he was not familiar with the details of the giant snake that he was surrounded, but after Roman left the encirclement, it became very easy to rescue Musashibo Benkei.

"Ushiwakamaru, have you all been saved?"

"I have already got the potion from King Gilgamesh. Just smear the potion on the stone statue to remove the petrification. After I removed the petrification effect of a soldier, I handed the potion to him, and then followed your footsteps. come over."

"That's it, then I'm relieved." Roman's eyes returned to the giant snakes, which had already crawled over here.

"Rider, Lancer, let's go, kill all these vipers!"

"Understood, I will definitely bring their heads back."

No, I have no interest in these snakeheads at all.

When the long-awaited hunting session finally arrived, Ushiwakamaru was also excited. Roman even thought that the reason why Ushiwakamaru came over was because he was worried that Roman and Musashibo Benkei would kill the prey.

She is always running on the snake's body, jumping on the snake's head to another snake's head, and the uneven body becomes her springboard. With every appearance, every pause, the snake is split in two. Some are snake heads, some are snake bodies, and some are snake tails. At most, a giant snake is cut into five pieces, and this is the result of Ushiwakamaru not using the Noble Phantasm.

I don't know how much work it took to kill more than ten times before these giant snakes died completely. The huge body turned into ashes and fell to the ground, blowing into the distance with the wind.

"Finally all dead, huh, it took me a lot of work." Ushiwakamaru has already begun to gasp, and kept moving at high speed for a long time, even Rider may not be able to hold on, after all, she is using her legs to run . But she still looked at Roman with a smug smile, "How about it, Master, have you been frightened by my battle? I can dig out the general's heart before he reacts."

- What do I want their hearts for? Your direct is actually Assassin, right?

Of course, Roman also knew that Ushiwakamaru didn't need his complaints. Thinking of Ushiwakamaru's character, he instantly understood what Ushiwakamaru wanted.

"It's amazing, Ushiwakamaru, it's the first time I've run so fast as a Servant, I was really taken aback just now."

"I haven't tried my best yet. If it's in the river, I can jump over eight boats in one go."

At this time, Musashifang Benkei persuaded him, "Lord Gen Yoshitsune, Master, we are leaving here as usual, and more owls are flying over."

Roman looked towards the woods and saw more owls approaching, the sound of their wings flapping as loud as thunder.

Roman couldn't tell how many owls were inside, but he could see that even the sunlight leaking from the top of the tree had disappeared, and the next battle would not be as easy as before.

"Let's get out of here for now, I've probably seen the point."

"Let's go then. It's perfectly fine to deal with poisonous snakes, but so many owls make it a lot more troublesome to fight. It's really annoying to be densely packed."

PS: The latest chapter has come out, and I still don’t have time to play the plot.

Respecting the old and caring for the young is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, so I decided to bring the purple grandmother back to Jia for good support.
