Chapter 15: Mage Rasputin (1)
"Be careful! That guy is still alive." Hearing Aya's urgent warning, Ulysses immediately notified the mercenary group, but it was too late.
With a "bang", the tornado with white flames suddenly exploded. Countless wind blades and white flames scattered around, and many of them flew toward the mercenary group. When the scattered cyan wind blade and white flame hit the shield wall of the mercenary group, and instantly blasted open several gaps on the shield wall. The shield mercenaries who were hit by the wind blade were lucky; they were only knocked back a few steps. The shield mercenaries who were hit by the white flame burned their hands almost instantly by the heat from the shield, and the hands of those who had not been able to drop the shield in time were almost cooked. More than a dozen mercenaries lost their ability to fight after just blocking their own attack. However, the nightmare of the mercenary group has just begun.
A black figure rushed into the formation of the mercenary group from the gap in the shield wall at lightning speed. After the blade reflecting the white moonlight flashed several times, several people in the mercenary group were chopped into pieces. The blood splashed all over the sky from their fragments, and fell on other people's bodies, causing some mercenaries to panic.
"Do not panic, form a circular formation and surround this guy. Warriors! Shields up! Go! Spearmen! Limit his range of action!." Faced with this unexpected scene, the three mercenary leaders immediately made a response. The best way to deal with agile opponents was to restrict his moving space.
The orders of the three leaders were quickly implemented, and the mercenaries of the mercenary group immediately began to change their formation. After paying the lives of more than a dozen mercenaries, they finally surrounded the enemy. After being restricted in the range of movement, the man's appearance was revealed in everyone's sight. It was still the masked man, but with his current appearance, no one would think he was "man" anymore. He still looked like a human not long ago, but now he had become an out-and-out demon.
The whole body of the masked man who was attacked by Wind Dragon and Pyroblast turned abnormally black, but it was not the scorched black, but a strange black similar to the black mud in the swamp. On that weird black body, all the wounds had disappeared, replaced by black veins and blood vessels. Under the shining moonlight, it could be clearly seen that those muscles and blood vessels were actually moving, as if they were alive. And his mask, it was actually not damaged under such an attack. The eyes in the mask had turned blood red at this time, and an endless murderous aura was radiating from the inside to the outside.
The masked man surrounded by the mercenaries finally showed his terrifying power to the people. Lightning speed and superb strength, moreover, what made all the members of the mercenary group even more frightened was that the defensive power and recovery power of that strange black body had actually increased several times compared to not long ago. The arrows that could have been shot into his body were now all bounced away by his muscles, and the fireball and wind blade could no longer inflict any damage on him. Most attacks couldn't even shake his body. Only a few magic arrows and the magic cast out by a few high-level mages could leave some wounds on his body, but under the action of his recovery force before the victory, these wounds healed almost instantaneously.
Blood was splashed everywhere crazily, broken limbs were flying all over the sky, people who saw this scene couldn't help wondering whether they were in the world or in hell… On this street, this killer was constantly harvesting lives, in just a few minutes, hundreds of mercenaries had been killed by his short sword. Any formation had no effect before his lightning-like speed and abnormal recovering ability. All the mercenary group could do was delay their own death.
In this situation, Ulysses' light magic was completely useless. The mercenaries attacked by the masked man were all turned into pieces, and the healing spell could not save them at all. In this chaos, other spells were useless.
