Staring at the Cyclops before her, the mature and beautiful Witch swallowed her saliva. Even though she was already at the peak of the Legendary Level, she still felt an instinctive fear of the Cyclops.
This fear did not come from the Cyclops' tall body or strong muscles, but from the Spellcaster's sensitivity to the Wind of Magic.
The Cyclops was a mutated Minotaur of the Orcs. In the corruption of the Chaos energy, some Orcs who were supposed to become Minotaurs mutated. They became taller and stronger, but at the cost of their intelligence, and they were left with only one eye. This made them almost blind, and they could only rely on their instincts to hunt and destroy.
So why did the Spellcaster fear the Cyclops?
It was because the Cyclops' eye was not an ordinary beast's eye, but the Eye of Chaos. In the mutation of Chaos, the vision of the Cyclops' eye was very poor. They could only barely recognize the outline of objects and see the blurry world. Instead, the Cyclops could clearly see the ever-changing Wind of Magic and the colorful spectrum in the subspace.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Cyclops, the existence of the Spellcasters was like a street lamp on a dim street or the morning star in the night sky. To the Cyclops, the Spellcasters were Michelin food. They would force the Spellcasters into close combat with them at all costs. The Cyclops' strong physique, sensitivity to spells, and strong magic resistance would make the Spellcasters suffer. After all, except for a few Spellcasters, most Spellcasters were not good at close combat.
When Veronica was still an ordinary Witch, she had seen a Cyclops stuffed into the throat of an official Witch in the Hawke Territory. It had left a deep impression on her. Fortunately, she had Laing by her side. Veronica took two deep breaths to overcome her fear and began to recite the spell. She was ready for battle.
"Ahhh!" The cyclops angrily rushed out of the farmhouse, its Eye of Chaos locked on to Veronica's figure. It opened its mouth wide, and a large amount of stinky saliva dripped out. The beautiful witch was the most delicious food in its eyes. It had just finished a few tasteless tin cans, and now it finally had a feast to eat!
"Looks like I'm in for another battle." Laing gripped his warhammer with both hands, his voice cold with anger. "We couldn't save these innocent civilians, but we can avenge them."
"Fireball!" Veronica didn't answer Leon's question. Instead, Gallan Witch raised her hand, and a large ball of fire elemental condensed in the air. Under Gallan Witch's spell, the ball of fire elemental flew directly towards the cyclops, leaving behind a long trail of burning smoke in the air.
At this moment, the Cyclops displayed unimaginable agility. The moment Veronica released the Fireball, the Cyclops immediately jumped sideways to avoid it. The Fireball directly swept over his shoulder and blew up a nearby wooden house into smithereens.
"Damn it!" Veronica spat. The witch understood how difficult it was to deal with the Cyclops. The Cyclops was too sensitive to magic.
Veronica Soran's eyes fell.
Got it!
"Die!" Leon took a step forward, his eyes fixed on the enemy in front of him. The man's speed was extremely fast. While the cyclops was still dodging, Leon had already rushed to its feet. The war hammer in his hand swept across and hit the cyclops' calf.
Leon's heavy blow was not something that mortals could withstand. The lightning flashing warhammer smashed the crooked tree trunk in the cyclops' hand into pieces. Leon's attack did not slow down as he continued to smash the cyclops' body.
"Ahhh! Leg … Pain … Meat … Eat! " The Cyclops screamed as the bones in its leg cracked. Compared to Veronica, the Cyclops felt an excessive sense of danger when it sensed Laing's origin. He was like a silver shadow that struck fear into the Cyclops' heart.
However, the Cyclops was not something that could be defeated in one or two hits. The Cyclops' powerful muscles effectively stopped Laing's attack. It reached out its thick arms and slapped Laing away with great force. Then, it grabbed a boulder beside it and threw it at Laing. "Die … Pieces!"
Looking at the huge rock flying toward him, Leon released the light of psionic energy from his eyes. He chanted, and then his figure exploded into countless light and shadow fragments. The huge rock smashed into the place where he had been standing, causing a cloud of smoke to erupt.
Nothing happened. Laing's body flashed behind the Cyclops, and he wanted to give it a fatal blow. "Judgement!"
"Heehee …" The Cyclops grinned, revealing its mouth full of sharp teeth. "Jane … Dan!"
The beast stepped on the ground with its left foot. It nimbly turned its body and made a turn on the spot. Then, it stretched out its right leg and kicked away Ryan who flashed behind it.
"Ugh …" Laing grunted. He used his war hammer to block the Cyclops' attack. The Chosen One champion of the Lake Fairy realized that the Cyclops' agility was beyond Laing's imagination. It was also very sensitive to subspace and magical wind. No attack could escape its eyes and ears.
But this was not a problem for Ryan. He adjusted his body and balance in the air so that he could land steadily. While the cyclops was still stunned from the attack, he swung his hammer again. "Skull Crushing Strike!"
Silver energy lingered around the head of Thor's Hammer. Lightning and fire merged into one. Laing's heavy blow landed on the Cyclops' shoulder. Amidst the sound of bones cracking, the Cyclops covered its shoulder with its hand and fell to the ground.
The Cyclops' shoulder blade was broken. It roared madly, "Human … Kill … Eat … Your … Flesh … Flesh … Eat!"
This kind of injury may be fatal to a mortal, but to the cyclops, it was just a minor injury. The energy and strong muscles brought about by the mutation of Chaos easily overcame the injury of broken bones. The giant beast roared and was ready to stand up and continue to attack. "Human … die!"
"No, just stay there. It's fine," Veronica said. At this time, Veronica's voice sounded. She stretched out a hand wrapped in a black lace glove, and the power of the Wind of Light surged at her fingertips. "Amintoc Net!"
The Cyclops suddenly realized that something was wrong. The vision brought by the Eye of Chaos made it look down at its feet.
There were four imprints of the Bright Wind Hai Xi in a space less than two meters from where it stood.
"The hunter is the prey!" Not far away, Gallan Witch closed her eyes and skillfully controlled her magic.
"No!!!" Dozens of bright silk threads shot out from the Mark of Heich and bound the Cyclops' body. Veronica immediately chanted the next spell. "Lava Eruption!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Right where the cyclops was standing, the ground cracked open, and hot lava gushed out from within. The boiling lava swallowed the cyclops' figure. The giant beast's hard skin and flesh were being tested by the lava. Even though it had strong magic resistance, the cyclops was still howling in pain as it was being washed by the lava. Its flesh was melting, and the muscles and bones that it was proud of were gradually turning black in the golden lava.
This was lava that was thousands of degrees hot. It was not magic energy.
At this time, Laing was already close. The Count reached out and grabbed the Nemesis.
"Die!"
Blood splattered, and the Cyclops' head flew into the air.
The headless corpse trembled a few times and fell to the ground. The filthy blood soaked into the magma and was roasted into a black mist. As Veronica cut off the supply of magic power, the magma cooled down rapidly and the ground gradually returned to normal.
Laing put away the Nemesis. He lifted the bleeding Cyclops' head with one hand and high-fived Veronica with the other. There was a faint smile on the Count's face. "Even though we haven't worked together for a long time, we still have the same chemistry. Well done, my dear. We only took five minutes to end the battle."
"How can I be your partner if I don't work well together?" Veronica was satisfied with the result. Gallan Witch looked at her with her beautiful eyes. She also remembered the time when she went on an adventure with Laing.
This was the chemistry between the two of them. They only needed to look at each other to communicate their thoughts.
After Veronica realized that the Cyclops was difficult to deal with, she immediately understood that they could not force the Cyclops into a corner. She signaled with her eyes, and Laing immediately went up to fight the Cyclops. Gallan Witch began to set up a magic trap. With precise calculations, Laing's attack forced the Cyclops into the trap. Veronica detonated the trap, weakened and controlled the Cyclops, and then let Laing kill it.
Otherwise, with the Cyclops' tenacious vitality and agile body, it would take a lot of effort to kill such a giant beast.
"What kind of cooperation do you have with that little princess Jialan? I think when you fought with her for the first time, she was like a newbie, directly casting powerful damage spells. You didn't dare to go up, did you? " Veronica's sweet almond-shaped eyes were full of ridicule. She said sarcastically, "How does it feel to be restrained?"
"You know a lot, my great witch." Laing put away the Cyclops' head and signaled Veronica to follow him into the farmhouse. "But Teresa is already changing. It was her first adventure."
"If you want to defeat your opponent, you have to understand your opponent." Veronica raised her head proudly. "My teacher taught me that."
"Well, let's take a look at the clues first." Laing wisely ended the topic. He and Veronica entered the farmhouse together.
As expected, there were traces of battle everywhere in the big house. Piles of straw were stained with blood, and the corpses of several wandering knights were strewn all over the big house. It seemed that this place was originally used to store livestock and food.
"Ugh … ugh … ugh …" Laing squatted down and tried to check the situation. Suddenly, a scream came from the pile of straw.
"Dear, come quickly! There's still one alive!" Veronica screamed and signaled Laing to come quickly.
"Coming."
It was a heavily injured wandering knight. He was covered in blood. A spear had pierced through his abdomen, and his chest was deeply dented. He was bleeding profusely, and it seemed that he would not live for long. Seeing that someone had come, the wandering knight coughed, and the light in his eyes was quickly dimming. "Who … are you?"
"I'm Laing, Laing Macado, the Lady's Chosen One champion." Laing squatted down beside him. "Sorry, I'm late."
"I've heard of your name before …" The wandering knight nodded. "As you can see, the farm was under attack. We asked the civilians and the company commander to leave first while we stayed behind to deal with the cyclops. Cough, cough. Unfortunately, we failed miserably because of our lack of skills. We couldn't complete the mission … cough, cough, cough, cough …"
"Mission?" Laing quickly asked. "What mission? Did you steal Poseidon's Trident? "
"The mission is in my arms … As for the Trident, I don't … know …" The wandering knight shook his head weakly. His pupils gradually dilated until they were completely gone.
"He's dead." Veronica squatted down and took out a letter from the wandering knight's arms. It said, "Dear Gonzalez, please follow Sir Christo and send the treasure to Magritte. May Milmedia bless your footsteps, your loyal Lord Llorente."
"Treasure?" Laing took the letter from Veronica's hands. He was puzzled. "Strange, this letter doesn't have a name. Which order does this wandering knight belong to? This is impossible! "
"Laing, look at this." Veronica took out a small flag from the dead knight's body.
There was a golden eagle on the flag. It spread its wings and looked to the left. Behind it was a golden ring with burning patterns around it. It looked like the sun.
"This is?!" Laing looked at the blood-stained eagle flag in disbelief. "No! This is impossible! "
"Which order's coat of arms is this?" Veronica also looked at the blood-stained eagle flag. "Laing, do you know?"
"This order has disappeared for more than 400 years …"
"Its name is …"
