A level-three Mage General has appeared. Let's vote. Kakakaka.
Ainphent pulled out his weapon and quickly retreated. A scorched wound with a diameter of more than half a foot appeared on the Headless Horseman's chest. A black ball of water sprayed out of the wound and exploded violently, splashing the five mercenaries.
Only then did the Headless Horseman's body stop struggling. The mercenaries who were drenched in the black liquid felt their vision go black and collapsed to the ground. The black liquid was so poisonous that even if they had the antidote, they wouldn't be able to take it in time.
One of the mercenaries, who had obviously reached the level of a swordsman and possessed sword energy, didn't faint immediately. He glared at Ainphent. If Ainphent had warned him, he and his companions would definitely have had time to dodge.
Ainphent smiled coldly and ignored the mercenary's gaze. He held his weapon and approached the gate, ready to find a chance to help Salin. If these five mercenaries didn't die, where would he find horses? Now it was much easier. Four people, five horses, and Nelis didn't even need to ride a horse. These five horses could allow three people to change, and they could travel day and night.
Ainphent knew that Salin was ruthless, but not merciless. Salin could calmly accept what had happened, but he couldn't bring himself to kill someone and steal their horse. Otherwise, it would be easier for Salin to leave him behind and escape.
The Headless Horseman didn't know fear. His companion was killed, but the second horseman still waved his weapon and charged forward without flinching. Perhaps for the Headless Horseman, death was also a good release.
This Headless Horseman had a wide battle-ax in his hand. The crescent-shaped blade was nearly a meter long, and even a huge magical beast could be split in half. The battle-ax was different from the halberd. The ax didn't have a spear tip, so it could only be used for hacking. Sicar jumped too high, and the Headless Horseman raised his weapon, intending to cut Sicar in half.
This movement exposed his chest.
Salin finished the last spell in his hand. In less than a second, he prepared an ice arrow.
This was the only level-two spell he could release quickly. A ray of white light shot out from his hand and accurately hit the Headless Horseman's chest.
With a clang, the ice arrow penetrated the thick metal armor, but it did not penetrate the Headless Horseman's body. It stopped after penetrating less than half a foot. The Headless Horseman let out a fierce howl. His hand slowed down, and he did not hit Shika's body. The huge battle axe collided with Shika's staff.
At this time, Shika was unable to dissipate the force. His whole body was sent flying. He flew for tens of meters before falling to the ground. She turned over and sat up. Her mouth and nose were full of blood, but she still pulled out her boomerang with her left hand and threw it.
In fact, Shika had never cultivated any Sword Qi before. He fought with his innate divine strength. Now that she did not have the support of the Magical Beast Fighting Soul, her combat power was greatly reduced. Otherwise, she would not have been seriously injured by the Headless Horseman.
The power contained in the Headless Horseman's battle axe was transmitted to her body, hurting her internal organs. Shika struggled to throw the boomerang, but she could no longer lift the staff.
Seeing that his Ice Arrow did not kill the Headless Horseman, Salin shouted, "Neris!"
Hearing Salin's shout, Ainphent realized that Neris had disappeared. As soon as Salin's voice fell, a black shadow appeared behind the Headless Horseman. Neris had actually mounted the Headless Horseman's warhorse.
Neris's slender limbs wrapped around the Headless Horseman. She opened her mouth and bit hard at the Headless Horseman's shoulder.
The Headless Horseman continued to charge forward. Salin retreated, and Shika's boomerang directly cut into the Headless Horseman's chest. The Headless Horseman's chest was already frozen and became fragile. This was the damage caused by the Ice Arrow.
Ainphent was shocked to see this horrifying scene. Neris opened her mouth, and her sexy red lips kept expanding. Finally, they became a big bloody mouth and bit the Headless Horseman's entire shoulder.
The sound of metal shattering rang out. The Headless Horseman's shoulder, which was buckled with steel armor, was bitten off by Neris's big mouth. Even his arm was bitten off.
Ainphent had once envied Salin's luck with women, but this scene completely froze his heart. What was Neris made of?
The Headless Horseman was seriously injured, but he still charged forward. His weapon flew out along with his broken arm, but the warhorse was charging straight at Salin.
Salin calmly retreated, releasing magic as he retreated.
Ainphent was so shocked by Neris that he didn't realize that Salin still had strength left after releasing a level-two spell.
Salin released a level-one spell — Frost Spell. This was a control spell. It didn't have much effect on the Headless Horseman. It couldn't freeze the Headless Horseman and his warhorse in place.
The speed at which he released it was too fast. In the blink of an eye, the magic string was used up, but it still couldn't stop the Headless Horseman's warhorse from charging forward. Salin felt a splitting headache. There was only a little magic string left in his body. He desperately gathered the last bit of magic string. The magic string trembled, as if it couldn't bear the consumption, and suddenly cracked from the core.
Salin didn't know that his remaining magic string could only release seven level-one spells. At this time, he had already used 12 Frost Spells in a row.
The ground behind the Headless Horseman was covered in frost, and the temperature within the courtyard walls dropped rapidly.
Seeing that she couldn't bite the Headless Horseman to death, Neris quickly bent her hands inward and clasped the cut on the Headless Horseman's chest. The Headless Horseman's chest was first frozen by the ice arrow, then cut open by Shika's boomerang. Now, there was a one-foot-long wound that couldn't heal.
Neris's ten fingers hooked tightly on both sides of the wound. With a forceful pull, the Headless Horseman's chest was completely torn open. The sternum broke one after another, and a black heart was revealed. Neris held the heart in her hands and squeezed it hard.
The Headless Horseman leaned back, trying to knock Neris off the warhorse. Neris's legs were wrapped around his waist, but he couldn't exert any strength. Neris held the Headless Horseman's heart in her hands and pulled with all her might. The black heart was squeezed and pulled by her. Finally, it couldn't bear the ravaging and shattered with a pop.
At this time, the Headless Horseman's warhorse also hit Salin. Salin's magic robe flashed red, and the Resistance Ring of Fire was activated.
Salin was knocked away, but he wasn't injured. His body was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
The broken magic string core gathered again and began to grow rapidly. Originally, this magic string had more than twenty branches, and they had all been consumed. Now, not only had the magic string regrown its main trunk, but it had also grown more than forty longer branches. However, these magic strings were too thin, like strands of hair, and Salin couldn't use them to release magic at all.
Salin had never believed that a mage could advance in rank during a battle, but it had happened to him. Not only did the magic string's branches suddenly increase, but the main trunk also became longer. As long as they were repaired through meditation, these magic strings would be thicker than before, and then they could be used to release level-two spells.
Salin landed on the ground. The Invisible Shield and Great Strength on his magic robe were still in effect. He only rolled once before stopping his body's movement and standing up with one hand on the ground.
Jason's physical training and the pills he took every day worked. Salin's body wasn't weaker than a Swordsman's, but he couldn't cultivate sword energy. His strength and balance were much better than ordinary people's.
A weak Mage wouldn't live long. Only by living long enough would they have the chance to advance to a higher level.
The Headless Horseman's heart shattered, and black liquid splashed out, staining Neris's hand. Neris didn't mind at all, and casually pushed the Headless Horseman's body off the horse. The horse continued to charge forward unwillingly, wanting to trample on Salin with its hooves.
Nelis grabbed the warhorse's neck and twisted it forcefully. With a muffled sound of bones breaking, the warhorse's thick neck was broken by Nelis. The horse's head twisted to the left, and it could no longer find its way.
Shika saw this and felt indescribably uncomfortable. She could also break a warhorse's neck, but to do it so easily and even twist the warhorse's armor, this was something she couldn't do. This demon's fighting skills were actually the same as hers. With her around, she seemed to be of no use to Salin.
Neris jumped off the horse and let it charge into the manor.
With a bang, the horse crashed into a wall and finally stopped moving, falling to the ground. The Headless Horseman's horse was strong enough, but it was only a creature at the level of a Black Puppet. Usually, it relied on the protection of its heavy armor to charge around. Now that its neck was broken, it lost its balance and could no longer control its body.
The manor fell into silence again. The last mercenary couldn't hold on any longer. The poison attacked his heart and he lay on the ground. Until he died, he didn't let go of the triangular sword in his hand. Before he died, he finally understood that the sickly young man with the magic weapon wanted them to die for the horses of the five of them.
Neris ran to Salin's side and pulled his sleeve. Her eyes were gentle but anxious, and she asked, "Master, are you hurt?"
Salin shook off Neris's hand that was covered in black blood, and his heart was indescribably depressed. If Neris had acted earlier, Shika wouldn't have been hurt. He took off the water bag from his waist, came to Shika, pulled out the stopper, and fed Shika a mouthful of Recovery Water. Shika coughed violently and spat out a black blood clot.
Salin was relieved. With Shika's physique, the internal injury was gone, and he would soon recover.
Neris stood there pitifully and looked at Ernie. Ernie shivered. Neris felt bored. She licked her lips and spat out the rotten meat in her teeth. Then she looked at the five bodies of the mercenaries.
The bodies of the mercenaries were rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if they weren't rotten, the master probably wouldn't let her eat them.
"Salin …"
Ernie couldn't help but speak. He indirectly killed the five mercenaries just to steal the horses. Although it was something he had to do, he wasn't sure if Salin would hold a grudge against him.
Salin helped Shika to stand up and sighed, "I know. Behead people and remove weeds. If they didn't meet us, these five people wouldn't have survived anyway. "
Salin said this, and his eyes looked at the bodies of the five mercenaries. The postures of the five people were very similar, all holding the hilt of the triangular sword tightly. He couldn't bear it and said, "Burn them all, in case the black magicians find out."
Although the five mercenaries were dead, the bodies could be used by the black magicians. Cremation was not popular in the Qinyin Empire, but it was the best ending for the mercenaries.
Death should be clean and without any worries.
