Rookie and Novice
"Do you really want to kill it? After becoming a puppet, he is just a ball of moving meat." Klein looked at the black dragon like a hill with regret.
The power of the dragon clan is not only because of their size and talent, but also because of the wisdom accumulated over a long life span. Although the person in front of him becomes weak because of his lack of power, he is still a dragon. If he is careless, he will suffer a loss and become himself.
After glanced at Klein who deliberately showed his fighting spirit, Victor couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If the negotiations with Ajisha had not failed, this sly guy would definitely not have appeared.
If it were the past, the conceited Black Dragon would not take Victor and Klein seriously at all, but it was freed from hundreds of years of seals, and its power was not restored, and it was sneak attacked by the Lich King, so it was really unsure.
As a long-lived magic creature, Ajisha knew very well that the danger of falling spirits was not less than that of the dragon clan. It could even be said that it was a terrifying existence of the Dragon clan. The reason was that there was no other reason. It was that there was a god as a backer. The stronger the god grace, the stronger the power. Ajisha didn't want to use himself to test how much divine grace Shivig gave to the lich in front of him. Moreover, what was not only the fall spirits but also the dark elves. In addition to the breath of humans and elves, there was also a special smell, which was a more evil and pure dark force. What was hidden by this guy with an evil aura all over his body?
Ajisha, who was ignored once again, exhaled an angry dragon breath, and the lush forest was immediately burned into a large area of charred black.
Klein easily leaped. He immediately jumped to the back of the black dragon. Ajisha shook his body and tried to throw the nimble guy like a monkey, but he didn't expect the other party to stab a pair of scimitars into his body. Klein held the weapon in the reverse, and with his hands, he expanded the wound to the same height as him. Blood poison and curse straight scissors eroded the wounds touched by Paglott's spell through the wound. The severe pain made the arrogant black dragon roar deafeningly. Ajisha did not turn his head to deal with the dark elf who had two new wounds on his back. In front of him, there was another enemy that could not be ignored.
Victor did not move clearly, and maintained a cross-legged posture. He looked directly at the dragon in front of him and slowly moved forward. One step, two steps, three steps, and two black runes visible to the naked eye formed two flip circles to protect him firmly.

"Did you hear that strange sound just now?" Alu took her breath and listened carefully. The roar of beasts came from the deeper forest. The distance was so far, it was still so clear that it made people feel goosebumps on their skin.
Du Nan, standing on the roof of the tree, looked into the distance, his lips tightly pursed and he did not answer.
Hawke sighed. He nodded first, then shook his head.
Reina focused on wiping the dagger in her hand, as if she didn't hear Elu's questions.
Seeing the strange reactions of the three people, Alu bit her lower lip.
It’s all the blame for the strange undead mage. Since he appeared, everyone has become strange.
"Elu." Looking at his sister with an angry expression, Hawke pulled her in front of him and rubbed her somewhat messy head: "Don't think about it, things are not what you think."
"It's not what I thought? Brother, do you know what I think?" Alu looked at her brother in disbelief. This is not what the old brother, who has always been honest, would say.
"Elu, don't participate in the grudge between us and him, you still." Du Nan, who has always been a little sensible, turned around, his eyes full of worry. He should have fought for it and sent her away.
"Don't interfere? But I've stepped into this mixed water. I really don't understand whether he casts spells for you. Not only does he not resist, but also speaks good things for that guy!" After breaking away from Hawk's palm, Elu took a few steps back until her back hit the tree trunk.
"Elu". Reina stopped her work, her tone was unprecedentedly serious: "Have you never heard of any rumors about that person in the past few months you have been in Mivela?"
"I don't care about those, I only know that he is the evil man who coerces you to work for him." Of course there are rumors, but Alu always ignores it.
"Listen to me, Elu. Some things are not what you imagined." Reina took a deep breath: "As children of poor families, they wander around with us, you should understand that fate is never fair. It was purely accidental for us to meet him in Bere Village, and we insisted on getting involved with that person. Have you forgotten? It was the invitation we made first, and he refused."
Ellu pursed her lips; of course, she was the first person to talk to the bastard.
"We could have avoided it and continued to be content with the title of Sandtan County's top five adventurers. We made our own choice." Since the desert returned, Reina learned more and more about his incompetence. As he collected information about Victor and gradually understood that the life of the undead mage who had been following for several months could be called a tragic life, Reina's originally not much hatred suddenly disappeared.
"Enough, I've heard enough." He waved Reina's hand on his shoulder, and Elu's chest fluctuated violently: "Sister Reina, I really can't believe that Dao Yuanyi's words must have been brainwashed by that guy. It's worthy of shame but not the reason why he can treat us like this."
"Elu, you don't understand what I meant by saying those words, Rena shook her head, a little discouraged: "We cannot resist his strength, just as he cannot resist the injustice that fate has imposed on him."
Blind hatred will not help us get rid of the status quo. Anger will not become your motivation, and negative emotions will not help you defeat him. This is what I want to say to you. Put aside prejudice and observe and think with a calm heart. This is the only way for you to fight back against fate."
"Hmph, the little girl stubbornly tilted her head to the side and refused any advice.
Reina shrugged helplessly and met Hawk Ran's helpless eyes.
"What are you going to do next?" Reina looked up and asked the Ranger who stood tallest.
"Start with the simplest tree lizard." Pull your eyes back from the place where the black smoke radiates, Du Nan looked out to the outside of the village. A pair of fluorescent eyes could be seen in the dark forest.
In fact, when they arrived at Buch Village yesterday, they encountered an attack, but it was an ordinary beast. After climbing up the wooden house built on the trunk, the beasts that could not climb trees could not do anything to them. Although the visit of the lich just now scared away a large part of the beasts that were squatting away, it also attracted some extraordinary creatures.
"Elu, go find the one Victor brings." Hawke whispered, and he also felt the gaze from all directions. Unlike yesterday's tentative gaze, everyone who came this time was hunters. It was safer to stay with the priest when he couldn't take care of himself.
With his hands and feet climbed up the long ladder made of dry vines, Alu pushed open the half-closed wooden door, which scared Ruma, who was concentrating on looking at the hand-copied scroll.
"What are you doing?!" Carefully put away the violation of the **, Ruma stared cautiously at the girl with a weird expression.
"We're attacked."
At first glance, Ruma was stunned for a few seconds. After reacting, he quickly walked to the door and looked down. A group of green lizards gathered around the village. The vertical pupils of the cattle and horses, which were about the same size as those of cattle and horses, were like crystals, scattered in the forest that was originally bad in light, densely packed, making people tremble. What made Ruma feel even more cold on her back was that these big lizards moved slowly into the abandoned village, not afraid of people at all, and they were predators in both posture and eyes.
Hawke took off the weapon on his back, and the light emitted by the magic-armed sword reflected his face into purple-red. The four lizards in the front attacked at the same time, one of which rushed towards the target's largest warrior, swung his sword, used the power of his waist, and knocked the green-skinned lizard away with just one blow, hitting the thick tree trunk, making a dull sound that made people's scalp numb.
Reina's dagger had a fluorescent green light on the surface. She attacked quickly at the moment when Hawke swung his sword, killing the other lizard on the back for her companion. The remaining two were shot by Du Nan, who occupied the commanding heights. The lizard's attack did not stop, but instead swung the two of them round after round.
.
"Do something!" Alu grabbed her robe nervously.
"I?. If I weren't hallucinating, Ruma thought the little girl said, "Do something quickly. She refers to him.
"Hurry, aren't you a priest? Enchantment, protection spells, etc.
"I don't even count the apprentice!"
Ruma's words froze Elu's expression.
"You are not a priest." Apprentice is the exclusive term for mages and alchemists. That liar! Alu gritted her teeth. The damn necromancer lied to us again. This kid is not a priest at all.
"I, I never admitted from the beginning that I was a priest of death. Ruma's eyes swept over the increasingly fierce battle below: "Sorry. I may not be able to help, I have not received specific guidance from Count Victor."
Pushing away Ruma, who was still explaining, Elu took out a few small bottles from the small cloth bag she carried with her, and threw them into the dense lizards. White smoke rose from the broken glass bottle, accompanied by hoarse screams.
"What did you do?" Ruma remembered that he had just glanced at it, and there seemed to be liquid of different colors in the bottle.
"Alchemy potions are all huge poisons. Although they cannot use these potions to fight back lizards, they can at least contribute their strength."
Alu's contemptuous gaze made Ruma, who was a few years older than her, astonished. The knowledge he learned was useless here. Taking advantage of the gap between the little girl's head and throwing things, he lowered his head and memorized the explanation in the manuscript again.
Summoning undead creatures, summoning undead creatures, I have seen two undead spirits in my life.
Victor and Angeli flashed through his mind, and Ruma stomped her feet.
Yes, how could I not expect this?
