Chapter 5: mutation
——I just found that I am sixth in the Hot List today. Well, thanks to everyone's reward yesterday, so that I can squeeze with the great gods, thank you.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
In the face of this weird and horrible scene, Lucian really has a feeling of shaking hands and feet, and his mind is rising. What should be done and what should not be confused? There, there was no response at all.
"Holy Emblem, wait, I have the Holy Emblem of Truth!"
Panic Lucian thought of his greatest reliance, concentrated subconsciously, wanted to chant a mantra, and inspired a circle of divine magic "shield of light". In any case, protecting himself was the most important.
"Ha!" At this moment, a thunderous roar sounded in Lucian's ears, making Lucian's back tight, his hairs erected, and his confused and chaotic thoughts suddenly stagnating.
"Brightness." Gary's steady voice passed into Lucian's ears, and he just roared just now, and the person who awakened Lucian, Correa, and Hausen from the confusing vibration was Gary.
Gary's calm and calm attitude infected Lucian, and he quickly recovered his minimal reaction. Without thinking about it, he capped the Holy Emblem and whispered a weird syllable: "Gaya."
A ball of white light appeared in front of Lucien and others, dissipating the deep darkness.
Then, Lucien saw a black mouse. They were normal in size, with red eyes, and gathered on the floor, wall, and strange humanoid plants in a secret room, so dense that Lucien couldn't hold his scalp tight.
As soon as Bai Guang appeared, these mice were like seeing their natural enemies, squeaking, and the tide was flowing toward Lucian, Gary and others.
As the red-eyed mice spread out, the appearance of the secret room was displayed in the eyes of Lucien and others. A desk was in the corner. There were three books flashing with strange and dim light. A flat, wide strange table In the center, there are many strange patterns, red, blue, and green, which are inexplicably similar to the pattern around the cross of the "Holy Emblem of Truth". On these patterns, there are small stoves, small Pots, glass bottles, etc.
Whether it was Lucian or Gary, it was too late to observe carefully, because the crazy mice had rushed to the front with a stench and weirdness.
The silent Hausen and sharp Correa, woke up by Gary, expertly held the sword and shield, and leaned left and right on Gary, forming a simple battle.
I faced mice, not other weird monsters. Lucien, who was calmly infected by Gary, eased his tension, but there were too many mice, too weird, and Lucien could not help but tremble.
The red-eyed rat leaping leaped up and rushed towards Lucian, opening its mouth to reveal two long, pointed teeth.
Holding the shining sword with one hand, Lucien, busy slashing the condensed blade of the light toward the red-eye mouse.
The lightsaber summoned by the divine magic is sharper than the general knight's sword, but Lucian's sword hurried out, but misjudged the speed and weirdness of the red-eyed mouse. Slide past it.
Where the red-eyed mouse and lightsaber rubbed, the black fur quickly scorched and spread into the flesh, but at this time, the red-eyed mouse had rushed in front of Lucien, and the red pupil flashing indifferent light was extremely clear, and the rotting and stinky faintness in his mouth was faint smell.
With a sword swiping in the air, the red-eyed mouse was close to his eyes, and Lucian suddenly panicked. He wanted to swing the sword back to cut, but also wanted to directly stretch out his left hand to resist. In contradiction, almost the sword of light almost fell to the ground.
Squinting to see that the red-eyed mouse was about to bite his chest, Lucian was at a loss as to what to do.
Suddenly, a long-blinking long sword stretched out from the side, just chopped around the red-eye mouse's neck, and cut it into two pieces.
"Don't panic, if you don't have time to resist, avoid the key, there are healing magic." Gary's low voice came.
Correa's sharp voice sounded at the same time: "Retreat to the back and lean against us. Are you a rookie standing alone in front of you and trying to die?"
Under such a situation, no matter what negative impressions of Lucien, such as Gary, Correa, and Haussen, all understand that he holding the Holy Emblem is a force to be reckoned with, and even when other changes occur, It is the key to reversing the situation. No one knows what monsters or magic traps there will be after the red-eye mouse.
After avoiding the bite of the red-eye rat, Lucian, who had become panic again, quietly sighed and calmed down again. Compared with Gary, a high-level knight attendant who had trained and even had rich combat experience, he faced danger. In the face of sudden changes, they all seem too immature, too green, too helpless. Not everyone is a natural talent for fighting, or a talented stranger who can still keep calm when facing danger.
In the first real battle of my life, I was very lucky to have a veteran like Gary to guide and help. It is a valuable experience in the face of battle and danger in the future.
This time Lucian didn't panic, while slashing the lightsaber forward, he slowly stepped backwards and retreated to Gary and others.
The red-eyed mice that bite and bite are not just two, but dozens of them, followed by a steady stream of rats.
The lightsaber is bright and sharp. The light of the sword still leaves a faint light and shadow. The sword that Lucian wields out is based on Gary's guidance, giving full play to the characteristics of the shining sword, and avoiding it. Lucien never learned any flaws in swordplay.
The light brought by this sword seemed to form a pale white barrier in front of Lucien, and the rats that were biting, hit the lightsaber directly, and were divided into pieces like soil without any force. In the two halves, the internal organs and the broken skin were blackened, and they fell heavily to the ground without any blood flowing out.
And those who were not hit by the lightsaber, when passing through the remaining light and shadow, the fur on the body also began to dry, scorch, and slowed down, either in front of Lucien, or by Gary and Correa on both sides. Sword hit.
"Hey boy, you did a good job, this sword killed more than a dozen monsters and mice directly." Correa whistled, not knowing whether he was praise or satire.
Baluchien himself was not proud of being able to kill so many red-eyed mice with one sword, entirely because of the power of the Sword of Brightness and Gary's guidance, and at this time: "I feel the power of the Sword of Brightness begins to drain."
After killing the red-eyed mouse this time, Lucian felt that he had adapted to this scene.
In conjunction with the slashing of Lucien's shining sword, Gary continued to chop and pierce the long sword, and repelled the mouse that had missed the net: "Don't be nervous, the remaining strength is enough to kill these monsters."
After a batch of crickets were killed, the red-eyed mice flew over again. This time, there were hundreds of black ones.
Balusian's chopping became more and more proficient. Although he was slightly scared in his heart and worried that he would not be able to completely block the hundreds of mice, he still fully believed in Gary and Correa, and they could help him to block the mice on both sides.
The shining sword was cut diagonally from top to bottom, and a beautiful light and shadow was drawn in the air, crackling. I do n’t know how many red-eyed mice hit the sword, causing Lucian's hands to double in pressure. An ordinary person trained by a knight could hardly hold the sword of light.
There are too many mice, even if many half and half of the corpses are falling like rain in front of the sword of brightness, there are still dozens of them that broke through the barrier of Lucien and passed through the wall of light and shadow drawn by the sword of brightness.
"So many mice, unless Gary and Correa can wield five or six swords in one second, they will not be able to intercept them!" Lucian's glorious sword was too late to be cut out again, and only thought with anxiety in his heart: "Maybe The high-level knight attendants trained by the church will have some power similar to that of magic. "
When Lucian was thinking, he stopped from both sides, not two sharp knight swords, but two small round shields wrapped in silver-gray metal.
The two fierce little shields slammed violently, and dozens of impacts merged into a bang. The red-eyed mice were directly blown out, landed on the ground, pumped and pumped, and died completely soon.
Correa laughed: "A good knight is not only a sword, but also a shield."
While relieved, Kushiro continued waving his shining sword to resist the attack of the red-eyed mice.
The snapping bite failed many times, and the red-eyed mice seemed to notice that it was wrong, so some stopped flying and ran directly from the ground, while others climbed up the wall and prepared to attack from the top of the four.
The situation suddenly became precarious.
"Leave it to me," said the tall, sturdy Hausen, who had been taciturn.
While waving his shining sword, Kussien blocked the mouse in the air from the top to the bottom, and asked, "Will you use the Shield of the Light?"
Gary shook his head: "Wait a second."
The four people were like a small boat in the rough seas, shaking in the red-eyed mice falling from the sky, fluttering in the air, and surging from the ground, and seemed to be crushed at any time.
Suddenly, Hausen's blocking appeared to be missing. A red-eyed mouse landed on Correa's shoulder. Correa's sword and shield were on the front to resist, but he was too late to be bitten in the neck with a sigh , The shoulder shook, shaking the red-eye mouse out.
Correa said resentfully: "The wounds are numb, they seem to be toxic."
"Okay, I inspire healing magic." Lucian said as he capped the holy emblem with his empty left hand.
Gary stopped: "Don't worry, Correa can hold it up. It looks like there is no way to stop it completely. Wait for a few more bites and then stimulate the healing magic." There are too many rats, and the healing magic must be saved. .
He said nothing, and he moaned, and was bitten between a boot and his knee pads by a red-eyed mouse.
With this encounter, Gary, Correa, and Haussen have changed some fighting styles. Although the mice can bite people, the teeth are not sharp enough to bite the armor, so they are in a place protected by chain mail, knee pads, etc. , Relax a little, take full precautions elsewhere, and the situation suddenly improves.
Only Lucian, wearing linen jacket and same-colored trousers, without any protection, was immediately bitten into the ankle by a red-eyed mouse.
The feeling of numbness and itching rose from the ankle and spread quickly. Lucian almost stood unstable, and at the same time, his mouth was dry and he wanted to drink water very much.
"Your constitution is much worse than ours. Use the shield of light first, and then use the healing magic." Gary distinguished the situation, at this time the red-eyed mouse was almost half dead.
He was concerned about himself, Lucian didn't delay, he was focused, and he capped the holy emblem:
"Smen."
The strange and mysterious mantra sounded, and a pale white shield of light appeared on Lucian.
Balusian inspired a divine surgery, and the spirit could not concentrate, so he took a step forward and blocked all the red-eyed mice on the front by the shield of light and the sword of light.
The mice that had escaped the sword of light, attacked the shield of the Holy Light one after another, but the light flickered The shield of the Holy Light did not shake at all, giving Gary and Correa a calm kill and strike Flying mouse chance.
After two or three seconds of stunning, Lucian's spirit was restored, and the Holy Emblem was again captivated, reading the mantra of the mouthpiece: "Gul 谛."
A white light emerged from the cross of the Holy Emblem and landed on Lucian's feet. The itchiness disappeared immediately.
With Lucian blocking in front of the shield of light, although Correa and Gary occasionally have time to avoid being bitten, the situation has gradually reversed. With fewer and fewer red-eyed mice, the danger is Slowly faded.
Balusian took the time to inspire the Holy Emblem, and healed Correa and Gary.
After a short while, Correa slashed a red-eyed mouse with a sword and let it splatter his blood, and then exhaled softly: "Finally killed."
There was already a body of red-eyed mice on the ground, and a lot of dark red blood accumulated.
Balussian looked at these with a daze, can't believe it was done by himself, and Gary nodded: "Lucien, you're doing well."
Balusian returned to God, ready to thank Gary.
Gary breathed. Commanded: "Hawson, you and Lucien go into the back room to see."
Balusian has a shield of light, and Haussen has been standing behind him without being bitten by mice. At this time, Gary naturally has to play everyone's role.
There was a quiet moment behind him, and the silent Houns didn't answer.
Correa looked strangely back, then he was full of panic and panic, saying intermittently: "Hausen, Hausen is gone."
I just repelled the red eyed mouse above my head, and Hausen, who was calmly behind the three, was gone? !!
Baluchien felt creepy again.
