Path of light

Chapter 626 627. First Encounter with Lich

At the scene of the magic circle 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 work properly.

The five magicians are responsible for several different areas, and finally the great magician Cedric will integrate them together.

After the cleaning by Alvin the Great Swordsman and others, there are almost no threatening dark creatures in this area. This is a depression on the edge of the sea.

As for the lich, it is lured by two abyss walkers and is running back and forth in an area more than ten kilometers away from here.

Roy followed behind Byron Thor, walking and stopping on this sand.

The main responsibility of the two of them is to prevent dark beasts from breaking into this area and disturbing the magicians from setting up the magic circle...

He and Byron Thor formed a patrol team, and the dwarf warrior Linglan Bronzebeard and the great magician Dalakli formed another patrol team, responsible for two different directions.

The two were talking quietly about the six magicians.

Byron Thor was not familiar with these magicians, but he knew Magician Joyce.

He said to Roy: "They usually do some magic research in the ivory tower, and it is difficult to meet them at ordinary times."

"Of these magicians, I only know Lord Joyce. It was decades ago when I joined a temporary mission to the Sky City and met him."

"At that time, Magician Joyce happened to be the deputy leader of that mission, and I was an elf archer who had just been promoted to the second-level combat professional. I was at the bottom of that mission. He was very famous in the magic guild at that time."

"I didn't expect to see Magician Joyce in the dark land."

When he said this, Byron Thor couldn't help but sigh and continued to walk forward on the soft black sand under his feet.

Roy hurriedly followed and talked about his feelings when he first met several magicians. He said to Byron Thor:

"Byron, you also know that my mine guard group is currently stationed at the Dark Gate Expedition Camp."

"Since we entered the Dark Gate, the six of them have been inspecting the Dark Gate. Perhaps there has been new progress in the research on the Dark Gate recently, so they entered the depths of the Dark Land."

"It's just that I didn't expect that they entered the Dark Land to capture a lich."

Roy's tone seemed a little exaggerated.

Byron Thor smiled, turned the longbow on his back, put one arm on Roy's shoulder and said:

"Roy, I know this hunt is very dangerous for you, but I hope you must cherish this rare hunting experience."

"For many elves, hunting level 6 dark beasts is not always possible. Besides, they are the most outstanding magicians in the Magic Guild of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. You can always learn more by following them."

Byron Thor narrowed his eyes and looked at the edge of the sand in the distance.

"Byron, have you seen the lich?" Roy asked curiously.

"Yeah."

When Byron Thor admitted it, he was a little vague and not very confident...

Roy continued to ask: "What does it look like?"

Byron Thor thought seriously for a while before saying: "It's about four meters tall, with a huge skeleton and a gray robe on the outside, 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 fog, and Byron Thor couldn't see the lich's true body at the time, so he couldn't tell what the lich looked like.

While the two were chatting, Roy pointed to the distance and said hesitantly:

"Byron, I can't see clearly, what do you see over there?"

"Oh no, how could a crypt demon appear here..."

Byron Thor raised his head and looked at the huge black shadow that was emerging from the sand in the distance. He said to Roy hurriedly: "I'll stop it, you just follow me."

Roy also saw the dark guy clearly at this time. It turned out to be a beetle with an infinitely enlarged body. The fat body was covered with a layer of black hard armor and covered with sharp spikes. It looked like an armed tank.

This was the first time Roy encountered a dark demon beast with a physical body in the dark land. It emerged from the crypt under the sand, with black fine sand flowing all over its body.

The crypt demon shook its body violently, shaking off all the black fine sand on its body, then opened the two huge hard shells on its back, vibrated the black insect wings folded together inside, and then put the insect wings behind it...

Normally, this kind of crypt demon will sneak out of the crypt after it is completely dark around it, and then hunt dark creatures everywhere.

The rich dark air on its body is like a burning black flame.

The direction it is moving in just passes the area where the magicians set up the magic circle, and it must not be allowed to disturb the magicians in any way...

Byron Thor ran forward a few steps and pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver. He held the feather arrow in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and decided to put the arrow back into the quiver.

Then, he pulled out an arrow with magic runes engraved on the shaft from the quiver.

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 passed 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 charging forward. 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 released a strong energy from 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. 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 his head and looked over. A hole was made in the Crypt Demon's chest by a small silver hammer. The hole the size of a fist was constantly flowing out with 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 into 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 body was pierced by the arrow. 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 unconscious directly.

Byron Thor found that Roy had grown 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 was getting dark, a large number of dark creatures emerged from various places and floated in the air.

A ball of lavender mist began to appear. Byron Thor pulled Roy and pointed at the mist in the distance, saying, "Roy, look, the lich is hiding in it."

Roy looked at the rolling mist and could not see the lich at all...

But what Roy could be sure of was that the lich was chasing them.

Byron Thor did not even raise his head, grabbed Roy's arm, and ran back with all his strength.

He did not hesitate at all, even though the two had just killed a crypt demon in the morning, but when Byron Thor realized that the lich was coming, he took the initiative to take Roy to the back quietly.

Roy also strode back.

Some minions of the lich rushed out of the black mist and chased after them.

The two led 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 flare flew into the sky, leaving a beautiful track in the black sky.

The great swordsman Alvin, who was on the other side of the battlefield, just cut off a magic eye.

Now an elf warrior shouted to the great swordsman Darwin:

"Great swordsman Darwin, there is a trace of a lich in Byron Thor's side."

"Immediately find a way to attract the lich and create a chance for Byron and the others to escape..."

The great swordsman Darwin looked up and shouted loudly.

...

At the same time, the dwarves Linglan Bronzebeard and the great magician Dalakli, who were next to Roy and Byron Thor's group, also began to react quickly. They both ran towards the place where Roy and Byron Thor spread the magic signal.

"Dalakli, hurry up!" Linglan Bronzebeard shouted at the top of his voice.

His voice could be heard far away in the dark land. A group of dark creatures heard this sound and quickly surrounded the dwarf warrior.

Linglan Bronzebeard held a war hammer in his hand and hit his shield hard. Instantly, an arc of electricity was rubbed out and spread out quickly...

For a moment, countless dark creatures approaching were electrocuted to death by the lightning created by Linglan Bronzebeard.

The great magician Dalakli kept releasing water arrows behind the dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard to kill the injured dark creatures...

The dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard took the lead and rushed to the front. The two kept approaching the area where Roy was.

The purple mist also slowly appeared in the field of vision.

"Dalakli, they really met the lich, let's go over and help..."

The dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard shouted.

The great magician Dalakli followed behind breathlessly, constantly shouting to Linglan Bronzebeard:

"Linglan, run slower..."
