The old preacher ran a few steps and finally rushed out of the area created by the Forbidden Light spell. However, when he suddenly stepped into the illuminated tunnel from the darkness, even though the fluorescence was not strong, he could not help but close his eyes for a moment.
He closed his eyes quickly, but when the old preacher saw clearly what was in front of him, a cloud of green liquid with a pungent smell was already flying at his face. There was no way he could dodge it.
"Ah!" The old preacher's shrill cry echoed in the sewer. Jackson and the other gangster who was rushing at Lucien subconsciously looked over.
The old preacher covered his eyes, and the skin on his face quickly turned black and scorched. He was rolling back and forth on the ground in pain. A few seconds later, he fell into the underground river with a splash.
Jackson and the gangster's body trembled violently when they heard the pitiful cries.
However, the two of them had dug out the hearts of many living people, and they were already full of ferocity. In this extremely dangerous situation, they suppressed their fear and rushed at Lucien fiercely.
Retreat was a dead end, and there was only hope if they moved forward!
They were more than twenty meters away from Lucien. Because of their hesitation and delay, they only took two steps forward when the strange and awkward voice echoed in the sewer again, as if it had never disappeared.
"Run! We have to get to him! Only then can we avoid the evil magic! " That was the only thought in Jackson and the other gangster's mind. They had never dealt with a sorcerer before, so they completely forgot to throw out the daggers in their hands. Even if they missed, they could still scare a sorcerer who was not well trained in spellcasting, so that the sorcerer could not control his spiritual power or cast the spell properly.
When they ran a few steps and saw the mysterious man's face clearly, they suddenly slowed down.
It was Lucien!
The mystery was gone, and the malice was surging. Jackson and the other gangster gritted their teeth and were about to rush over the last two or three meters and stab the bastard full of holes.
However, at this time, Jackson saw Lucien's right hand push out, and a crystal ray with cold air was shot out quickly. As if it was aimed, the ray hit the gangster's face unavoidably.
A thin layer of ice quickly formed, freezing the thug's eyes, nose, and mouth behind him.
The cold air invaded the gangster's brain, slowing down his thinking. By the time he realized that he was suffocating and wanted to break the ice on his face, he had already lost most of his strength.
The feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger. The thug could not help but lie down and hit his head on the ground.
Only then did Jackson realize that the Lucien in front of him was no longer a poor kid that he could bully, but a Magus who possessed mysterious and terrifying magical powers!
Evil sorcerer!
However, he wasn't a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart and sharp. Under his ordinary smile was a vicious heart. He knew that Lucien wouldn't let him go, so he resisted the urge to beg for mercy. He took two steps forward and stabbed his dagger at Lucien.
Jackson was only a few centimeters away from Lucien when his body suddenly became heavy. His body, which was leaning forward while running, lost its balance and fell forward.
"Oh no!" Losing his balance at the critical moment, Jackson was terrified. He knew that he was in extreme danger. He waved his hands hard to maintain his balance, but he was just a normal person. It happened so suddenly that he couldn't do anything effectively. He could only be shrouded in despair.
If he had expected to fall, Jackson could have at least tried to throw the dagger at this time, and then he would fall down and roll to avoid it.
"Ring of Loss of Control". Before Lucien cast "Acid Sputtering", he cast a defensive spell around himself that could last for two minutes.
Because Lucien was very familiar with this spell, he was able to simulate the vibration with only a slight sound. Therefore, after casting Forbidden Light, Lucien was able to cast the spell without making too much noise while the enemies were still in the dark and were still in confusion.
Lucien jumped to the side and avoided Jackson who fell down. While looking coldly at him waving his hands hard to maintain his balance, Lucien accurately and calmly put his dagger into the man's neck and twisted it.
The blood spurted out was very little and very light. It was obviously affected by the change of gravity. Soon, the blood fell to the ground like falling petals. Because of the direction and control, Lucien didn't get it on his body.
Jackson's unwilling dying cry was stuck in his throat. He could only lie on the ground and twitch in pain. Soon, his evil life came to an end.
At this time, the thug had just broken the ice on his face, but his eyes, nostrils, and mouth were all frozen. His reaction to the surroundings was extremely slow, and he was easily killed by Lucien with a dagger.
The old preacher struggled for a long time in the dark river and finally stopped moving. He was carried by the water and crashed into the barbed wire.
Seeing the old preacher's death, Lucien was finally relieved. Among the nine people, he was most worried about the old preacher. After all, the old preacher was involved with the evil god. Lucien didn't know what kind of weird power the old preacher had.
At this time, only twenty seconds had passed, and the dark area caused by Forbidden Light was still there. The tunnel, the dark river, and the barbed wire were all covered.
The two beggars who were stabbed in the vital parts by their companions were writhing on the ground in pain, but they were still alive.
The beggars and gangsters in the dark river were scared out of their wits by the mysterious sorcerer. They tried their best to find the barbed wire and escape into the Belem River. However, they had lost their way in the dark and could not find the entrance of the river.
When Lucien attacked, he had already thought about it. There were too many of them and he might not be able to kill them all. He could only force the rest of them to escape through the entrance of the river. There were water ghosts outside!
Of course, Lucien had no choice but to put his hope on the water ghosts. After all, the number of spells he could cast was limited, and he hadn't learned the only area attack spell among the unofficial spells, Homan's Cough.
However, Lucien also tried his best to kill them all. Therefore, the Forbidden Light covered the dark river and the entrance of the river.
When the two beggars in the dark river couldn't find the entrance of the river, Lucien began to feel that things were going in the best direction.
Of course, there was also a problem. Lucien himself could not see the specific location of the four beggars in the dark area of the Forbidden Light. He could only sense them with his spiritual power and could not attack them with spells.
While waiting for the dark area to disperse, Lucien seized the time to recover his spiritual power. One Ring of Disenchantment was equivalent to one and a half of other unofficial spells. Together with Forbidden Light, Acid Sputtering, and Frost Ray, Lucien could still cast one of the spells that consumed the least amount of spiritual power, Acid Sputtering and Frost Ray.
Time passed second by second. After Skar hit the wall, he anxiously changed his direction. However, as he ran, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but close them.
When he opened his eyes, he was so scared that he immediately kneeled on the ground and begged in a low voice, "Lord, forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me."
This was because he saw that the evil sorcerer who was illuminated by the fluorescent light twenty meters away seemed to have a young and handsome face.
Facing danger, some people would choose to fight back with their lives, while some people would choose to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
Seeing that Skar was about to collapse, Lucien decided to cast Eyes of Stars. This unofficial spell was mainly used to hypnotize and make people fall into a trance. It was very fast to cast, but the two effects were different. For the latter, Lucien only needed to make eye contact with the target, which was very helpful in a battle. For the former, Lucien needed to make eye contact with the target for almost ten seconds. Also, when Lucien forced the target to do something that the target did not want to do, the target could easily wake up and get rid of the hypnosis. It was far less effective than the official spell Charm.
However, now that Skar was having a nervous breakdown, if he was hypnotized by Eyes of Stars, the effect of the two spells would be half of that of Charm. By then, Lucien would be able to kill the beggars who were trying to escape.
When Lucien was about to cast the spell, in the dark area, which was only a few seconds away from disappearing, a sharp scream filled with uncanny fear suddenly burst out.
The scream was short and hurried, and it stopped as soon as it sounded, which made Lucien feel very weird.
Soon, in the dark, the scream of extreme fear and pain came again, but it also stopped as soon as it sounded.
Lucien stopped the preparation of Eyes of Stars and took a step back, keeping himself completely in the defense of Rune Loop. Then, he prepared Frost Ray and was ready to shoot.
It seemed that things were not going well. Instead, there was a weird and dangerous change!
Skar, on the other hand, was too scared to look back.
The Forbidden Light spell was over, and the darkness disappeared without a sign. Lucien and Skar saw the horrible scene in the dark river.
The gangster's neck was gripped by a pale white hand. His skull was cracked open, revealing his white brain matter. A black tongue was licking the top of his head.
The owner of the tongue was a humanoid monster. It was about the size of a normal human being. Its skin was swollen and pale, and rotten flesh was everywhere. The muscles on its face were falling off, and the white bones inside could be vaguely seen.
Its green hair reached its shoulders, and there were no eyeballs in its eye sockets. In the dark eye sockets, there seemed to be two tiny white flames dancing and burning.
The pale hand that grabbed the gangster's hand clearly showed that its strength was much greater than that of a normal human being.
The beggar in the dark river had already eaten all his brain matter. He was floating in the dark river and was rushing towards the barbed wire.
Another beggar was hiding against the wall in the tunnel near the monster. Seeing this scene, he also knelt on the ground and chanted, "The great Master of Argent, the eternal silence, your servant begs for your protection …"
When Skar saw the monster, he was already paralyzed. It seemed that the monster had a natural fear. Even Lucien, who was more than 20 meters away, felt frightened.
When Lucien saw the monster, he immediately recognized it because he had been missing it for a long time.
Water Ghost! Undead Water Ghost! The Water Ghost in the Belem River!
The witch had always wanted to capture it, so she had translated the Illustrated Handbook and recorded its characteristics in her notes.
As an undead creature, the Water Ghost was immune to hypnosis, enchantment, psychic illusions, and demoralizing spells. It was immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, tremors, and diseases. It was not tired, did not need to breathe, and did not feel cold. It was very resistant to ice and acid, and it was extremely afraid of fire and positive energy.
However, what made Lucien panic was that the Water Ghost in the witch's notes had no pale white flames in its eyes, although the two flames were only the size of a needle tip.
