Both of them had a tacit understanding. The moment Ciel turned around, he opened his arms wide, ignoring the spiders and other multi-legged insects that were crawling around the sarcophagus. He picked up the scattered funerary objects and rushed out. Brendel, on the other hand, pounced to the side and rolled to avoid the stone slab that fell from the ceiling. He came to the side of the skeleton that was lying on the side of the sarcophagus.
He got up and spat out the sand in his mouth. He looked around and saw a few Cards of Fate under the skeleton. At this moment, the sand above his head was falling, almost burying the cards. Brando quickly reached out his hand to grab them. But as soon as he did, the eyes of the skeleton that he didn't pay attention to flashed red. It suddenly stood up and extended its claws to grab Brando's neck.
Brendel was taken aback. A mere skeleton was even worse than Madara's lowest ranked skeleton soldiers. If it was any other day, Brendel would not even pay attention to it. But at this moment, dozens of rocks were pouring down from above his head. If he hesitated, he would be buried alive in the grave.
Right at this critical moment, a bright arrow of fire shot out from behind him. It brushed past his face and struck the skeletal claw that was gripping his neck. Sparks flew everywhere, and he felt his hair curling up from the heat. But the skeletal claw was unable to withstand this level of attack and broke off with a loud bang. The pressure on his body was released, and he immediately grabbed the Card of Fates and retreated for his life. There was an earth-shattering explosion behind him. A quarter of the tomb had collapsed, and the sand had almost reached the stone platform in the middle.
Brendel's back was drenched in cold sweat. He quickly turned around to see who had such a strong mental fortitude to shoot out such a precise spell at such a critical moment. It was the first time he had seen such a perfect spell in the game. Ciel did not have many Elemental Apprentices under him, and he could not think of anyone who was so daring and meticulous.
But when he turned around, Brando saw a face that he couldn't have imagined. At the entrance of the tomb, the little Roman raised her index finger and waved it at him proudly. There was a wisp of flame at the tip of her finger that was dissipating. Seeing the merchant lady's expression, she wanted to say something, but she was immediately pulled away by the female mercenary commander.
"When did this young lady learn magic?!"
Brando couldn't help but think that the little girl was quite talented in casting spells. Her accuracy in casting spells was something that many high-level players couldn't do. But he immediately thought of a more terrifying possibility. Perhaps the little Roman didn't even aim properly, and was just lucky that she 'missed'.
Brando couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth based on the little girl's usual behavior. He immediately made up his mind to not let the little witch continue to learn magic. Otherwise, he might one day be fried by a fireball from behind.
At this time, there were only a few people left at the entrance of the tomb. Most of the others had retreated. Brando immediately gestured to the rest of the people, indicating that they should hurry up and leave. He then rushed to the entrance of the tomb. The others probably saw that their lord was out of danger, so they all retreated. But at this moment, Brando, who had rushed to the entrance of the tomb, suddenly heard a clear and strange sound behind him.
"Crack!"
Instinctively, he felt the hairs on his back standing on end, and he subconsciously moved to the side. He saw a crystal spear flickering with multicolored light shoot past his original position. If he had taken another step forward, then this spear would have undoubtedly opened a bloody hole in his chest.
He was almost scared to death. When he looked back, he saw a crystal creature with a glittering crystal body crawling out of the sarcophagus. It looked like a crystal figure. The crystal body vaguely looked like a robe. It was about five feet tall and had a strong physique, but it didn't have a head. Brando estimated that if this thing had a head and a neck, it would be considered tall among the Erouine people.
There was no doubt that such a thing could not have been hidden in the sarcophagus. The first thing that came to Brando's mind was the crystal fragments. But he had never seen such a boss in The Amber Sword before. He couldn't help but feel a little curious. After all, there were few monsters below level 40 that he didn't know.
At this moment, the thing had completely crawled out of the sarcophagus. Although it was completely made of crystal, its movements were not stiff. Brando estimated that its Dexterity was at least seventy, which was only half of his. But the sound of the crystal spear piercing through the air made him feel a lingering fear. Its attack power was at least on par with Veronica when she didn't use her Elemental Power. This thing was a power-type monster.
And it was good at mental attacks.
Brando's heart went cold. The data reminded him of something.
It had only been a year since he transmigrated to this world. He could still clearly remember the last patch before he transmigrated. The patch after "Hopeless Night" was called "The Earth Awakens." As usual, this expansion pack did not have any introduction. But in the later stages of the Slate War, after the death of the Alpha Wolf Échis, Fanzin and Madara fought. The whole world's attention was focused on the battle between the two factions of players.
The battle between him and the Orkash Mountains was just the tip of the iceberg of this huge battle.
The cause of this battle was simply a competition for resources. An area that had never been set foot in the wilderness of the East was discovered by a group of adventurers. Because of this, the flames of war began. Brendel still remembered the legends of the East, about a new life form that had never been seen before in the wilderness.
Crystal Clusters.
A type of spirit that was a hundred times more tenacious than humans and possessed powerful mental powers.
But why were there Crystal Clusters here? This was not a hundred years later, nor was it in the distant East. This was Erouine, within the borders of civilization.
[Even though I'm not sure if Vaunte had Crystal Clusters a hundred years ago, especially in Aouine's borders, the game designer must have buried them a little too long. This is the first version of the game, and it's nearly ten years in the real world.] [I'm not sure if Crystal Clusters existed in Vaunte, especially in Aouine. But with this doubt, he still pulled out Halran Gaia. This was because the crystal monster had already stretched out its hands towards him. Another crystal spike whizzed towards him.
At this moment, Brando saw that the spike was shot from the back of the monster. He turned his hand and shattered the spike in mid-air. But this attack made his arm feel slightly numb. Although he had not used the Dark Dragon's Berserk ability, nor did he use the Enhancement Crystal, it was enough to explain the problem.
This monster's attack power was indeed different from Veronica's in her normal state. This further confirmed his previous guess, which was that it was the peak of a Level 40 BOSS.
Brando secretly felt that something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, he would be overjoyed to encounter such a BOSS. Although he had already obtained the loot, the BOSS's EXP was also much higher than ordinary monsters. Not to mention, a BOSS would usually have some special alchemy materials that could not be collected normally. But now was not the time. The tomb was shaking and could collapse at any time. But the monster did not seem to want to let him leave safely.
Brando knew that this was part of the dungeon's design. But this monster's attack power was strong and its agility was not bad. If it tried its best to keep him here, it would not be fun. Even if the monster's mental attacks were ineffective against him, it would not be easy for him to kill this monster.
Moreover, judging from the monster's previous performance, its intelligence was not too bad.
"Please don't play with me. You'll be crushed to death, right?" He could not help but whisper to the monster. At the same time, he carefully retreated along the shaky tunnel. Seeing that the tomb's door was right in front of him, he was about to heave a sigh of relief. But he did not expect the monster to suddenly pounce on him like a madman.
"F * ck!"
Brando could not help but immediately activate Charge. His whole body turned into a meteor and shot out of the tomb. The monster seemed to have expected this and suddenly stopped. It let out a resonating cry, and the entire crypt began to vibrate. Brendel saw a flash of white light in front of him, and a thick crystal wall appeared in front of the tomb's door.
His heart sank. He knew that if he wanted to escape, he would have to kill the monster first. Brando cursed and turned back to face the monster. But he did not expect the monster to stop after casting its spell. It looked at Brando —
Brando was sure that the monster was looking at him. Although it did not have a head or eyes, he felt like he was being watched. The monster looked at him for a moment, then retreated. Brendel saw it climb up the sarcophagus again, then jumped down.
Then, he jumped down.
Then it disappeared.
Brando was sure that the sarcophagus was not deep enough to cover the monster. He was stunned for a moment. Then he reacted. "There's a secret passage!"
Brendel immediately understood what the monster was trying to do. It wanted to trap him and kill him here. Of course, it was not the first time he encountered such a cunning BOSS. But this monster wanted to trick him. He could not accept it. Did it think that he was still a newbie?
