Chapter 34: The Headless Horseman (Part 1)

The second-level magic wind speed technique is a very practical skill. It allows the magician to have the ability to move quickly when the level is very low, and its speed is comparable to that of a Mercedes-Benz horse.

The maintenance time of wind speed surgery is enough for an hour. Within this hour, people who have been applied wind speed surgery can run 60 miles per hour (kilometers, save for a while, and will not be commented in the future).

An excellent war horse may run faster, but cannot last for so long. If you run at a constant speed, you will not be able to run so fast.

What Ani couldn't accept was that Neris, who had no blessing of wind speed, carried Salin on his back and kept running in front of him and Shika.

Nelise showed her white and slender calves, her crystal toes made shallow marks on the ground, and her muscles burst out with powerful strength, which was probably comparable to a high-level swordsman.

By the same token, if a senior swordsman wants to run so fast, his sword energy can't last too long.

The wind blew hard on Neris' face, and she felt extremely comfortable. She felt that she could speed up and did not need other demons to chase after her. Generally speaking, after the demon used advanced deformation technique, his strength would decrease. Neris did not have this feeling. She could even feel that the deformed muscles were gradually adjusting to output energy more effectively.

This is the effect that only the ultimate transforming technique can have. The ultimate transforming technique is related to the bloodline of the demon. Are you going to become an adult?

The fields were empty and flat, and the four people quickly left the battlefield. The castle was left far behind, and the sound of fighting and explosions on the battlefield could not be heard. Only the wind blew through his ears, the moon was as bright as water, and the coolness was refreshing.

There was no attack along the way, and the black puppets seemed to have gathered together to attack the castle. Anise quickly passed, and Neris slowed down and stopped. The wind speed technique on the two men, Aini and Shika, also disappeared.

Salin was embarrassed to continue to lean on Nelise's back, although it was very comfortable and labor-saving. He jumped down and asked, "Eni, how far is the town?"

Aini gasped, looked up at the starry sky, identifying the direction. Although Nelis had been running in the front, there was no deviation in any direction. He calculated and replied, "About 30 miles, we didn't walk the main road."

Salin felt a little relieved. It was very close to the town, and there would be larger villages and even small noble manors. Salin looked at Aini, who was still breathing, and asked, "Can you still leave?"

"Yes." Aini gritted his teeth and replied. If there is no 30-mile road, it will take about 6 hours to walk on his legs without the blessing of wind speed. He also knew that it is not completely safe now and it is not time to rest.

The autumn of the Principality of Phoenix was dry, which made Aini suffer a lot less. Otherwise, his sick body would have been exhausted if he couldn't walk a few miles in the mud. After walking for more than an hour, Salin saw a manor.

Under the moonlight, there are shocking blood on the manor walls.

"Protect Aini." Salin reminded Shika, then took Neris to speed up and walked towards the gate of the manor.

The soil was soaked in blood and turned black and purple, with a fishy smell, but no corpse was seen. The strangest thing is that not only was there no one here, but even a fly could not be seen. Salin squatted down, dug up a handful of soil, and sniffed it.

There is no vitality, there is only condensed blood in the soil, no breath to search, and no common insects.

The black magician came, Salin stood up and slowly retreated. He didn't know if there was still ambush in the manor.

Eni watched Salin exit the gate of the manor and shook his head at him, knowing that the situation was not good. If even this place was washed away by the black magician, what about the town not far away?

There were only more than 10,000 people in that town, and there were 100,000 black puppets appearing in the castle. In other words, the Black Magician's range of activities was larger and killed more people. This place was still far from the border of the Principal of Phoenix. If you could not find a horse for transportation, it would be difficult to quickly escape from the Black Magician's range of activities.

However, it is difficult to find any creatures within the scope of the activities of the black magician.

He was hesitating whether to enter the manor to rest, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance. Looking back, on the road in the distance, five fast horses were running wildly, and the people on the horses were lying on their backs, unable to see clearly. Behind the five horses, two headless knights were riding horses to chase, the distance was getting closer and closer, and the people running ahead were exhausted and their speed was getting slower and slower.

"Enter the farm." Salin saw it and did not go up to rescue. The strength of the headless knight was at least a swordsman. The impact on the war horse was not something his magic shield could withstand. Moreover, Salin didn't know if there was the power of the black magician behind him. If more headless knights appeared, in the open fields, more than a dozen headless knights could easily kill ordinary magicians.

The people who were running for life also saw Salin and others, as if they saw hope. They kicked the horse hard, got off the road, and rushed towards the manor.

The gate of the manor was open, and Salin did not let Shika close the door, so he let the knights enter the manor. The headless knight behind arrived immediately.

The walls of this manor are stone, but not militarized buildings. The gates are spacious and there is no invisible fortress inside the door. If the headless knight rushed in, everyone could only continue to flee behind.

Salin was focused and was already preparing magic in his hands. Sika stood by the door, saw the opportunity, waved his stick, and smashed horizontally towards the headless knight who was hitting the door.

The headless knight in the head held a huge mace in his hand, smashed it down and aimed it at Shika's head. The mace was covered with metal spikes, like the teeth of a monster. Moreover, the mace was made of metal, which was probably weighing hundreds of kilograms. In comparison, Shika's stick was much smaller.

On the battlefield of thousands of troops, such an impact is extremely terrifying, and even heavy shields can be smashed away by this blow.

But the gate of the manor was not wide enough after all, and there was no other knight's attack. Shika mistook the attack of the mace, and the stick hit the chest of the headless knight's war horse.

The headless knight's war horse was wearing heavy iron armor. The stick was bounced away by the impact of the war horse. Shika's body turned half a circle on the spot, removing the impact of the war horse, and his back was given to the headless knight.

The five escapees who rushed into the manor looked like mercenaries. They jumped off their horses, picked up their swords, and blocked them towards the door. They were not good at horse fighting and knew the importance of guarding the gate. The five mercenaries had to fight. They saw a young low-level magician standing behind the female warrior. If the little magician died, then there would be no hope of survival among them.

Before they could take action, Salin's magic was released in a series of ways. Several mercenaries were stunned. They were also people with rich combat experience, but they had never seen a mage release so many magic in succession. There was almost no time interval between these magic, but the rhythm was bright.

Salin first released an ice ring technique. The moment Shika's stick hit the headless knight's war horse, the ice ring technique was placed on the front leg of the war horse.

Although Shika's attack did not cause any damage to the headless knight's war horse, her power was quite large, causing the war horse to pause for a moment. Salin's ice ring technique took advantage of this opportunity to accurately hit the target.

Salin's water magic has some mutated attributes. The most obvious thing is that it exists for a little longer, but the ice ring technique will disappear in just over a second. If the enemy does not move, it will not cause any damage.

This is obviously a useless magic. During the battle, who would stop and let you hit the trap, then rush forward by yourself and let the ice ring cut yourself?

Unlike other magicians, Salin has not learned much magic at this level, so he can only try his best to develop magical effects to make up for the shortcomings of the magic string. In fact, the effect of releasing a ground-type magic at this time is the best, and a rock sting can knock the headless knight to the ground. Even the swamp technique is considered a more targeted magic.

However, Salin took a different approach and seized the tenth of a second to complete the useless magic. After a brief pause from the headless knight, he rushed forward and could not really stop.

The attack power of the Ice Ring Technique is obviously only available at level 3 or above magic. The front legs of the headless knight's war horse were cut off instantly and he fell head to the ground. Then four ice cones accurately shot through the headless knight's hands, and the palms and wrists were penetrated. The ice crystals on the right hand holding the mace condensed, becoming extremely fragile, unable to withstand the weight of the mace, and broke with a click.

The five mercenaries were extremely smart. In this small-scale battle, the combat power of the mercenaries did not have to be inferior to the elite soldiers of the empire. They immediately gave up their long sword, drew out the triangular sword, and stabbed them into the limbs and joints of the headless knight with force.

The steel armor at the joints is originally weak, and the triangular sword itself is designed to break the armor. This cuts off the tendons of the headless knight's limbs, and Salin's acid sputtering also hits the headless knight's body in time.

Another headless knight wanted to bypass the fallen companion in front, Shika jumped up and hit the headless knight with a stick. She didn't know the weakness of the headless knight, and this blow was still creating opportunities for Salin.

The headless knight who fell off the horse struggled and had to fight back, but his limbs were broken, and the five mercenaries were holding the triangular sword tightly, making him unable to exert force. They did not dare to draw out the triangular sword, for fear that the headless knight's joints could be repaired automatically. The acid liquid quickly corroded the heavy armor of the headless knight. Eni came to the headless knight who fell off the horse with his strange weapon and poked it hard.
