Chapter 38: Heart of the Mountain V(1/3)
The intertwined memories are like flashbacks, reappearing in my mind.
“…Hurry, attack them!”
In a daze, the time was reflected and I couldn't remember how those monsters appeared. The panicked shouts of others in the same team were echoing in my ears.
He saw the rangers in the first team spread their bows. The magic gloves worn by the rangers held their bow arms tightly, and the ether made the bowstring pale and shiny, but almost none of the feather arrows shot out hit the enemy.
The arcs of light drifted in the darkness fell one by one, and the monsters were born like a crystal-shaped human figure, or a blue phantom reflected in the world in the mirror. They moved very quickly, even faster than the hysterical screams of the team leaders:
"Hold shields in the front row and stop them!"
But time reflected and watched a blue afterimage pass through the clumsy front of the shield guards and hit the female Ranger Captain not far from him.
The agile lady's upper body strangely turned back, flew up like a rag doll, falling to the edge of a pointed rock not far away.
Her entire lower body almost disappeared, her wide, dark pupils were like a void hole, frozen in the last moment's surprise on her expression, as if she could not believe what had happened.
Time reflected that I didn't dare to look at the blood-stained stiff face. The fantasies I had about this lady not long ago seemed to have caused him to feel guilty to some extent. Although I knew that all this was not the reality of another world, the young man could not help but open his mouth wide and almost suffocated.
The green crystal monster turned to him again, and time reflected the coldness of his hands and feet, and he forgot how to deal with it for a moment.
But a battle axe suddenly flew from the side and cut into the crystal monster's shoulder with a bang, making it stagger backwards.
With a roar, a burly man came out from the side and hit it while the other party lost its center of gravity and knocked it away.
The big man held a big shield in his hand, pressing the monster to the ground with one shield, pulling out a battle axe from its shoulder with his backhand, and slashing the opponent's head into pieces on the ground with one axe, two axes, and three axes.
He then turned around, as if his anger was still not resting, grabbed the collar reflected by time and roared:
"What are you stupid? Don't want to live anymore!? Get ready for magic!"
Time reflected a shock, and then he recognized that the berserker was their regiment commander.
But a scream interrupted the two of them:
“…They are getting more and more!”
The man turned around and looked at the blue shadows emerging in the darkness, frowned.
"retreat--"
He waved his hand vigorously: "Retreat into the cave in two directions, and the third team left behind the rear."
Although he knew that the rear was to die, the iron guards of the third team still raised a large shield without hesitation, threw away the heavy fighting sword in their hands, took down two long halberds from behind, and assembled them together.
Because they knew that after resurrection, the guild would give corresponding compensation, and escaping here would only make the gains less than the loss.
"The magic team left first."
The big man turned around and pushed the time to reflect it: "Save time, please leave it, add a BUFF to them before leaving."
Time Reivision took a breath, finally came back to his senses from his previous trance and nodded. He turned around and looked at the blue shadows in the darkness, knowing that this was dangerous, but he had no choice.
"I will let Rainbow stay to protect you," the big man patted his shoulder, "Be careful."
The large force is retreating.
The Hydra guild also left a squad that broke the back, and the two squads were like two thin lines, blocking the center of the crack.
Time reflected the reflection of climbing up a rock and preparing to cast a spell from a high place. He silently calculated the distance. It was just right not far away.
However, he was about to take another step forward to take some insurance, but he didn't plan to do it again because of the failure of casting. Although it was dangerous to stay here, unlike the iron guards below, he still had a chance to survive.
But a hand stretched out from the black smoke spreading behind him pulled him back, "Don't you want to live?"
A nightingale walked out of the separated smoke. Ye Xingyi outlined her graceful figure well. Behind her, a sharp-toothed dagger was inserted on both sides of the dark magic furnace. Time reflected that this pair of daggers was not only the origin, but it was said that they were a pair of legendary magic weapons.
Just as he knew the identity of this girl.
Her name is Rainbow, and she is the captain of the Nightingale team in this operation.
The girl looked at him with her lavender eyes and said in a cold tone.
She looked ahead again and said, "The distance here is enough, cast the spell. The leader asked me to take you back alive. I don't want to see you become a corpse."
Time reflection shivered and nodded quickly.
He raised his magic wand and recited the spell in his heart. The Iron Guard had already fought with the blue crystal creatures, leaving him with little time.
The magician needs to keep his spells in mind, but those spells wander in his mind when they are nervous and unable to concentrate because of their tension, in a mess, and even disappear out of thin air, like elves who do not obey orders.
He tried several times before he focused his attention.
“It’s quite fast.”
The Nightingale girl muttered, and finally understood the reason why the leader made her look at this person.
But it was at this moment that a slight shaking on the ground interrupted the two of them. Rainbow looked at the loose rock wall on one side, and suddenly her face changed drastically:
"Be careful, back!"
"Don't cast spells, come to my side!"
But the time only reflects the point of looking back in a daze.
He saw Miss Nightingale's right arm turned into a dark mist and rolled towards him. She looked a little anxious, as if she had seen something.
But the rock layer suddenly collapsed with a bang, and a giant crystal-shaped claw broke out of the ground, and stepped forward the dark smoke and blocked him and the other party.
At that moment, the time reflected only felt the world reverse, and the rolling rocks slid down with him, and he only saw the giant creature showing its hideous face from under the rock formation.
A crystal-shaped Cancer.
Rainbow glanced at him from a distance and turned around and left resolutely.
That was the last sight that time reflected.
In a daze, everything returned to the darkness, but the sound did not disappear. I don’t know how long it had passed, but he seemed to be able to hear the sound of war.
He didn't know if it was an hallucination or if he had experienced the previous battle again, until a violent shock woke him up from his drowsiness.
His eyes opened a narrow gap first, and there was light that reflected in his vision.
The orange light is a burning wall of fire, and the flames seem to burn on the dark ice layer, and the swaying light leaves many dark shadows on the gravel-covered ground.
He was still confused, but he still instinctively identified that the firewall was a magical effect, the path of flame made by elements, or the flame bomb of the magic crossbowman.
Then a figure was reflected in his phantom vision.
Although he couldn't see the other person clearly, he also recognized that it was a young man, wearing a brown windbreaker, with a shirt and vest inside. The other man was wearing a very thick glove, and put his hand on his shoulder and shook him.
"Hey, are you okay?"
The other party's voice was younger than expected, and he was even a little childish.
The other party turned around and spoke:
"Tangtang, show it to him."
"No need to read it," said a girl's voice impatiently, "I've seen it before. Are you stupid? You might as well take him to a safer place than this. You haven't seen more and more of those things."
"Tangtang, are you really Milera's pastor? But I heard that the believers of that goddess are all good-tempered and patient, and they are not like, like you, a little, a little..."
"What's a little bit?"
"Yes, a bit ferocious..."
Two murderous gazes fell on Fang Yu, who immediately closed his mouth with no dignity.
This conversation made the already confused time reflect for a moment even more confused, which reminded him of his tone when he was making jokes with others on the guild chat channel, but it seemed that it shouldn't be in the current environment.
He moaned, as if he had just remembered what this place was.
By the way, what about those monsters?
Are there other people in the group still alive?
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, those familiar blue shadows appeared in his vision again. They appeared in the dark like phantoms, and stars appeared in the distance.
Time was reflected and opened its mouth, as if it wanted to remind the young man in front of him.
But with a bang, the ground shook slightly. He couldn't help but subconsciously turn his eyes and see a strange component appearing beside him.
It was slender, wearing a pointed hat, black all over, with golden patterns on the edges of the armor. It was tilting its head, raising a dark magic gun with its arms, pressing against its shoulders, and half-kneeling on the ground.
The young man stood up straight.
He turned around and looked at the dark blue shadows and raised his hand in one of them.
The component pulled the trigger, and the time reflected the air almost shook slightly, and smoke mixed with flames gushed out of the magic gun muzzle.
A golden light shot out from the clouds and mist, like a meteor, intersecting with the blue shadow. The latter paused for a moment, obviously feeling threatened from the attack.
Fighting craftsmen.
Time was reflected and opened his mouth. It was not that he had seen combat craftsmen before, but he had never seen such a contour.
"You can't hit them, leave quickly..."
Although he was not sure about the other party's origin, he still made a hoarse voice, trying to tell the young man and his sister how terrible these monsters were.
But the next moment, the sound stuck in his throat.
He saw the young man debugging his gloves and seemed to whisper something. In a daze, he actually understood the meaning of the sentence:
To be continued...
