Chapter 626 627. First Encounter with the Lich
At the magic array arrangement site in the distance, a group of great magicians were placing metal runes on the sand.
The placement of these runes needs to be very precise in order for the magic circle to function properly.
The five magisters were responsible for several different areas, and were finally integrated by Grand Magister Cedric.
After some cleaning by Alvin Great Swordsman and others, there are almost no threatening dark creatures in this area. This is a depression on the edge of Haiti.
As for the lich, under the temptation of two abyss walkers, it was running back and forth in an area more than ten kilometers away from here.
Roy followed Byron Thor, walking and stopping on the sand.
The main responsibility of the two of them is to prevent dark monsters from breaking into this area and disturbing the magisters from setting up the magic circle...
He and Byron Thor formed an inspection team, and the dwarf warrior Linglan Bronzebeard and the great magician Dalakli formed another inspection team, each responsible for two different directions.
The two were talking quietly about the six magisters.
Byron Thor was not familiar with these magisters, but he knew Magister Joyce.
He said to Roy: "They usually do some magic research in the ivory tower, and it's hard to see each other."
"I only know these magisters, Mr. Joyce, decades ago when I joined a temporary mission to the Sky City."
"At that time, Magister Joyce happened to be the deputy leader of that mission, and I was an elf archer who had just been promoted to a second-level warrior. I was at the bottom of that mission. He was at that time. He is very famous in the Magic Guild."
"I didn't expect to see Master Joyce in the dark place."
When he said this, Byron Thor couldn't help but sigh and continued walking forward on the soft black sand under his feet.
Roy quickly followed up and talked about his feelings when he first came into contact with several magisters. He said to Byron Thor: "Byron, you also know that my mine guard group is currently in the dark. The Gate Expeditionary Force is stationed at the camp.”
"Since we entered the Dark Portal, the six of them have been inspecting the Dark Portal. It is probably because there has been new progress in the recent research on the Dark Portal that they entered the depths of the Dark Land."
"It's just that I didn't expect that when they entered the dark place, they actually wanted to capture a lich."
Roy's tone seemed a bit exaggerated.
Byron Thor smiled, straightened the long bow on his back, put an arm on Roy's shoulder and said:
"Roy, I know this hunting is very dangerous for you, but I hope you will cherish this rare hunting experience."
"For many elves, hunting level six dark monsters is not always possible. Moreover, they are the most outstanding magisters in the Magic Guild of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and you can always learn more by following them. "
Byron Thor squinted his eyes and looked at the edge of the sand in the distance.
"Byron, have you seen that lich?" Roy asked curiously.
"Um."
When Byron Thor admitted it, he was a little vague and not very confident...
Roy continued to ask: "Then what does it look like?"
Byron Thor thought seriously for a while and then said: "It is about four meters tall. The body is composed of a huge skeleton and is covered with a gray cloth robe. That's about it."
Byron Thor's description of the lich made it difficult for Roy to form a clear image in his mind.
Roy later learned that the Lich's body was always hidden in the black mist. Byron Thor could not see the Lich's true body at that time, so he could not tell what the Lich looked like specifically.
While the two were chatting, Roy pointed his finger into the distance and said hesitantly: "Byron, I can't see clearly. What do you see over there?"
"No, why did a crypt demon appear here..."
Byron Thor raised his head, looked at the huge black figure emerging from the sand in the distance, and said hastily to Roy: "I'll stop it, just follow me."
Roy also saw clearly at this time that the big dark guy turned out to be a beetle with an infinitely enlarged body. The chubby body was covered with a layer of black hard armor and was covered with sharp spikes. It looked like Like an armed tank.
This was the first time that Roy encountered a physical dark monster in the dark land. It emerged from the cave under the sand, with fine black sand flowing all over its body.
The crypt demon shook its body violently, shaking off all the fine black sand on its body, then opened the two huge hard shells on its back, vibrated the black insect wings folded together inside, and then removed the insect wings. Received behind me...
Normally, this kind of crypt demon will sneak out of the crypt after the surrounding area is completely dark, and then hunt dark creatures everywhere.
The rich dark energy is like a burning black flame on its body.
The direction in which it is heading happens to pass through the area where the magicians have arranged their magic circles. It cannot be disturbed by it under any circumstances...
Byron Thor ran forward a few steps and pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver. He held the feather arrow in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to insert the arrow back into the quiver.
Then, he pulled out an arrow from the quiver with magic runes engraved on the shaft.
He neatly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming the magic arrow at the head of the Crypt Demon...
The entire arrow was wrapped with a bright breath of wind element. The shadow of the great elf archer behind Byron Thor only appeared for a short while. The shadow of the great elf archer cooperated with Byron Thor to string the bow. Pull away.
With the bow string fully drawn, Roy fired the magic arrow in his hand. A white light flew out almost against the black sand. The arrow flew past quickly, and the air flow it brought up blew up the fine black sand on the ground.
Although the crypt demon has lost its visual function, it has a keen sense of the outside world.
It immediately turned around, facing the direction of the arrow, and raised a pair of huge pliers, blocking the pliers in front of its body...
Unexpectedly, the arrow flew through the gap between its two large pincers and hit the crypt demon directly in the middle of its head.
The entire arrow completely penetrated into the hard carapace...
An arrow shot the Crypt Devil, and Byron Thor's spirit was lifted. He expected that the Crypt Devil would fall down after being hit by the arrow.
But no...
The Crypt Demon shook his head vigorously, turned around slowly, and stretched out a dense row of lower limbs like paddles. These lower limbs supported the Crypt Demon's huge body, allowing it to move quickly on the soft sand.
When Byron Thor saw the Crypt Demon charging towards him, he showed no fear. He pulled out five arrows from the quiver and shot them towards the vital parts of the Crypt Demon's body...
Byron Thor possesses extremely superb archery skills. Five arrows hit the eyes, heart, and gaps in the carapace of the Crypt Demon respectively...
It can be seen that the Crypt Demon has to endure tremendous pain every time he is hit by an arrow.
But this did not slow down its attack. It began to become crazy and accelerated towards Byron Thor.
There were only a few ordinary arrows left in Byron Thor's quiver, and the dark monster rushed forward regardless of his own safety.
Byron Thor took a step back out of habit and found that Roy had taken out a small silver hammer beside him at some point and assumed a fighting posture.
Byron Thor quickly said to Roy: "It's coming. Let's move back quickly. We can't stop its charge..."
Byron Thor once again drew his bow and shot an arrow. This time, Byron Thor's energy came out of his body, wrapping the ordinary arrow, and it spun rapidly and flew out. The airflow stirred up by the arrow formed airflow circles around the arrow shaft.
This arrow hit the hard carapace of the Crypt Demon, and the arrow carried a powerful concussive force, which instantly cracked the carapace of the Crypt Demon's arrow...
While all the Crypt Demon's attention was focused on Grimes, Roy secretly opened the Book of Judgment and summoned the Hammer of Judgment from the pages.
The Crypt Demon with several arrows stuck in his body had already rushed in, just as Byron Thor shouted, 'Roy, come with me quickly...'
Roy followed Byron Thor back and threw the silver hammer in his hand.
Byron Thor only felt a powerful force of holy light rippling out from his ears. He turned around and looked over. A hole was made in the chest of the Crypt Demon with a small silver hammer. The hole the size of a fist was constantly flowing out of the rotten juice. .
Byron Thor originally planned to protect Roy and leave.
But he never expected that Roy would use a Judgment Hammer to smash a big hole into the Crypt Demon, and there was still a strong death aura floating around the wound...
But even so, the crypt demon did not stop.
It was still like a steam train, crashing straight towards Byron Thor.
Byron Thor is also condensing an extremely shining magic arrow, and a large amount of wind magic is continuously poured into the feather arrow...
This is when the wind element condenses, and it turns out to be extremely slow.
The Crypt Demon had already rushed ten meters away, and Roy took advantage of this moment to throw a small silver hammer again...
This small hammer emitting silver light hit the Crypt Demon's body, and the Crypt Demon immediately froze in place.
Its body seemed to be under the spell of 'time stasis', staying in place motionless.
The Crypt Demon raised its wings again, trying to fly up from the soft sand...
Byron Thor has absorbed all the wind elements into the shaft of the feather arrow. When the arrow flies out, the surrounding air seems to be sucked in.
The arrow penetrated the crypt demon's head, and then came out from the tip of its buttocks.
The Crypt Demon's body was penetrated by Byron Thor's arrow, and he immediately fell to the sand. The countless legs in his abdomen were twitching continuously. Roy did not see the soul of the Crypt Demon, but just felt that the Crypt Demon's soul was in the ground. The dark energy around the cave demon's body dissipated.
Roy didn't dare to neglect and immediately went up to pray...
A large amount of dark energy quickly transformed into the power of holy light, and particles of holy light appeared in Roy's body...
Roy only threw two silver hammers, knocking the Crypt Demon out directly.
Byron Thor found that Roy was growing a little too fast. Facing such a level three monster, he was able to fix it in place with just two hammers...
While breathing heavily, he looked at Roy suspiciously.
…
The two quickly cleaned up the battlefield and then quickly patrolled the surrounding area.
When it gets dark, a large number of dark creatures emerge from various places and float in the air.
A cloud of lavender mist began to appear. Byron Thor pulled Roy, pointed to the mist in the distance, and said, "Roy, look, the lich is hiding in it."
Roy looked at the rolling fog and couldn't see the existence of the lich at all...
But what Roy was sure of was that the lich was chasing them.
Without even raising his head, Byron Thor grabbed Roy's arm and ran behind him.
He didn't hesitate at all, even though the two of them had just killed a crypt demon in the morning, when Byron Thor realized that the lich was coming, he took the initiative to lead Roy back quietly.
Roy also strode back.
Some lich minions rushed out of the black mist, chasing after them.
The two of them took the lich in circles on the sand, never letting the lich catch up...
…
Byron Thor released a magic signal, and the light green magic signal flew into the sky, leaving a beautiful trajectory in the black sky.
The great swordsman Alvin, who was in another direction of the battlefield, had just cut off a demon eye.
Now an elven warrior shouted to the great swordsman Darwin:
"Darwin the Great Swordsman, there are traces of the lich on Byron Thor's side."
"Immediately find a way to attract the lich and quickly create an opportunity for Byron and the others to escape..."
The great swordsman Darwin looked up into the distance and shouted loudly.
…
At the same time, the dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard and the great magician Dalakli, who were next to Roy and Byron Thor's group, also began to react quickly. They both spread towards Roy and Byron Thor. Run over where the magic signal comes from.
"Dalakli, hurry up!" Linglan Bronzebeard shouted at the top of his lungs.
His voice could spread far in the dark land. A group of dark creatures heard the voice and quickly surrounded the dwarf warrior.
Linglan Bronzebeard held a warhammer in his hand and struck it hard on his shield. An electric arc was instantly generated by the friction and quickly spread outwards...
For a time, countless dark creatures that approached were directly electrocuted to death by the lightning created by Linglan Bronzebeard.
Behind the dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard, the great magician Dalakli continued to release water arrows to kill the injured dark creatures...
Dwarf Linglan and Bronzebeard took the lead, and the two of them kept approaching Roy's area.
The purple mist also slowly appeared in the field of vision.
"Dalakli, sure enough they have met a lich, let's go quickly and help..."
Dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard shouted.
The great magician Dalakli followed pantingly, and kept shouting to Linglan Bronzebeard:
"Linglan, run slower..."
