Chapter 18 New Wonders

The "Gladiators" of the first step of the Road of Conquest have no resistance to magic.

Lucius's arm instantly became necrotic, and then it was torn apart. Even the old mercenary couldn't help but wail in pain. The sweaty man couldn't concentrate on throwing alchemical explosives.

"Syat warrior! You will die here!"

The middle-aged priest roared and swung the blue axe. The whole person suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of Lucius. The speed was so fast that there was even a little afterimage.

The blue axe was a mysterious and strange object that could "accelerate"!

He had a fierce look in his eyes, and he swung the axe and decided to chop off Lucius's head!

"Protect!"

Lucius' eyes showed purple light, and he raised his hand holding the sharp blade with a roar, subconsciously exerting the mysterious power contained in the rune.

He knew that the rune could not be opened continuously, and the duration was short, so he had to seize the best opportunity.

After the blue axe fell, the fatal blow was blocked by the invisible repulsive force. The middle-aged priest was shocked and decided to attack again. If he continued to chop, he would eventually kill the opponent.

Carl stared at the scene in the sky. Just when he decided to directly order Irene to "sacrifice her life", the situation suddenly changed.

"Great Lord of the Lost, please protect me."

She calmly raised the alchemical flintlock in her hand, aimed at the open window upstairs, and the next moment she fired the special bullet with increased power with great concentration.

It deviated!

Carl knew that the bullet had deviated the moment it was fired. Irene had not practiced shooting too much, and even the alchemical flintlock that increased shooting accuracy was still not accurate enough.

However, the black light in the depths of the soul suddenly emerged!

Carl felt that it was his own power, but the bullet that should have deviated suddenly changed its trajectory like a frame drop, and hit the shoulder of the middle-aged priest very accurately.

What happened?

This was completely beyond Carl's expectation. It was not the space that changed, but it felt as if the world line had changed!

"Damn it!"

The specially made alchemical bullet penetrated his shoulder, and blood immediately flowed out. The middle-aged priest's attack was immediately interrupted.

He wanted to raise the axe again, but suddenly felt that the extraordinary power in his body was constantly being eroded by some mysterious black light.

What's going on?

Impossible! I've never heard of such a thing!

What exactly is that black light?

The middle-aged priest showed an incredible look. The Fisher family was stronger than he thought. He could even vaguely feel that the people of the Fisher family were hiding some more terrifying power.

Carl felt a little bit of spirituality gradually flowing into his body. The black light attached to the bullet just now was like his own clone, and it seemed like some evil disease devouring the spirituality deep in the soul of the middle-aged priest.

So that's it. Anyone who was hurt and killed by Irene in some way will also have their spirituality taken away by herself.

Carl immediately realized that compared to other members of the Fisher family, Irene had a closer relationship with him, almost like half of his clone.

Well, it was definitely because the long steps to the gods she took were the "God Sacrifice Road", and her "God Worship" ability as a servant made her closer to him.

Irene reloaded the bullets in the alchemical flintlock, and Lucius in front of the middle-aged priest suddenly shouted!

"Ha!"

Lucius swung the sharp blade with one hand, and chopped at the middle-aged priest with a fierce and cold look. The other party instantly raised the blue axe to block.

The next moment, an amazing scene appeared!

The blue axe was easily cut off by the sharp blade, and the middle-aged priest behind was also chopped, and the hot red blood kept pouring out of his chest.

"How is it possible?" He couldn't understand it at all. He retreated again and again to cover the wound, but he couldn't stop the continuous flow of blood.

Beside Irene, Byrne knelt on one knee with a painting in his hand, panting continuously. He consumed a lot of spiritual power to complete the "sketch", and by drawing the blue axe, he reduced its toughness.

Although the blue axe was attached with the magic of "acceleration", its toughness was no different from that of an ordinary axe. After the toughness was reduced by the "sketch" ability, its durability was about the same as that of a hard branch.

"Kill me."

The middle-aged priest suddenly took a deep breath, lost all his fighting spirit, and did not want to continue fighting.

At this point in the battle, he had undoubtedly lost.

"However, you can only kill me, but you can't fundamentally defeat the East Coast people."

"We should be the masters of this land. You Syat people are robbers and demons. You say that we are born humble and have no value, but the East Coast people will prove you wrong!"

Irene's expression was a little subtle. Two years ago, the old priest once said that she and her brother were born humble and their souls had no value.

The firelight reflected on the middle-aged priest's face, and he suddenly became full of fighting spirit and excited.

"You must remember that the people of the East Coast will never be your stepping stones forever!"

Lucius raised the sharp blade in his hand high with one hand, and stabbed it with all his strength without hesitation, piercing the middle-aged priest's chest and breaking his heart and lungs.

He said in a low voice: "No matter how much the dead say, no matter how passionate and sensational they are, they are not as good as a pee from a living person."

The middle-aged priest trembled with his eyes wide open, and finally fell down unwillingly.

Lucius sat on the ground, and Irene quickly rushed over and held out her hand.

"Hold on, Lucius."

The green light flashed in her eyes, and she easily healed Lucius's almost disabled arm.

"Praise the great Lord of the Lost, this power is really too powerful..."

The pain was reduced in an instant, and Lucius was amazed and praised the Lord of the Lost with rare sincerity. The extraordinary power to save people is always more rare than the extraordinary power to kill people.

Carl stared at the sky silently, and he could probably judge the source of the "protection" rune. The purple finger amulet should be just a collection-level mysterious artifact.

The source of Irene's "healing" rune, that is, the transparent bottle she was staying in, its power is at least the second-level "treasure-level" mysterious artifact.

As for the mysterious artifacts of the "taboo" and "untouchable" levels above, it is difficult to appear in this small place on the east coast.

A patrol team of more than a hundred people finally appeared. They had just been transferred out of the town and came back to put out the fire and search and kill the jungle natives.

A dozen of the fleeing jungle natives were eventually captured or killed, and no one escaped.

The raging fire burned down half of the houses on the street, and more than 50 Nasir residents died in the fire and killing.

The sheriff in armor and several knights and clan elders in the town came to Fisher's house, and saw Lucius walking out with a human head, shouting to everyone surrounded by guards.

"Leader of the jungle natives, the priest has been killed by me!"

The people of Nasir Town saw this scene, and then cheered, and even shouted Fisher's surname!

Lucius slowly walked towards the surprised sheriff, showing a trustworthy smile, lowering his head with a sly look in his eyes and said:

"Dear Sheriff, when you report this matter to the Baron, please take me with you."

The sheriff's face was as ugly as pig liver. Too many people died in Nasir Town tonight. As a sheriff, he could not escape the responsibility at all. He immediately said: "This matter is not just my responsibility. It was the mayor who asked us to go outside the town to search for jungle natives! Don't blame me!"

"Well, it turned out to be the mayor?"

Lucius lowered his head slightly, fell into deep thought, and then smiled with a very cold look in his eyes.

——

Nasir Town suffered heavy losses overnight, but it brought great benefits to the Fisher family, not only in terms of spoils, but also in terms of reputation.

Lucius himself almost became a hero in the entire Nasir Town. Everyone believed in him, and the impression of the Fisher family became extremely positive in people's minds.

The total value of the spoils obtained by the Fisher family was about fifteen gold coins, mainly from the bounty of the heads of three indigenous extraordinary people. Although the blue axe was damaged, it was still a good mysterious treasure.

After finding a suitable spellcaster to repair the axe, Irene knelt down very solemnly and presented it to the great Lord of the Lost.

Carl finally got some new spiritual power, but the blue axe was just a mysterious treasure of "collection level".

"There is no feeling of loosening the seal, and there is still a long way to break through the next layer of seal."

He gave the blue rune of "acceleration" to Byrne.

Byrne, who was ecstatic, immediately tried to use the blue rune he got. He found that each "acceleration" would consume a small amount of physical strength, and it would take about ten seconds to use the blue "acceleration" rune again.

At the moment of acceleration, his movement speed would reach several times the original speed.

In fact, the final effect of "acceleration" is a fixed value, not that the faster the person is, the better the effect will be when using it.

A few days later, Baron Hoven, who received the news, finally rushed back from Fein City with his men and decided to retaliate against the jungle natives immediately.
