Chapter 56 Raphael's Counterattack
Seeing Lynn's actions, not only were the demons dumbfounded, but Cromwell and Isa were also stunned on the spot.
Clang!
Lynn's twin swords pierced the solid bridge surface, and with a sound of rocks cracking, a huge gash instantly pierced through the bridge.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his leg and stomped heavily on the crack.
The stone bridge, which had already lost one of its supports, could not withstand the weight and cracked instantly!
"madman!"
The demon couldn't help but curse loudly.
As the stone slab beneath their feet tilted, the demon's mind went blank, and the fingers that had been gripping Laofen's throat unconsciously loosened slightly.
opportunity!
Raofen, who had been choked, suddenly had a glint in her eyes. She used her waist to exert force and slammed her knee into the back of the demon's head.
The blow landed squarely, and the demon staggered forward uncontrollably.
Using this reaction force, Raofen's body floated backward like a feather, and the moment her toes touched the ground, the high-speed movement magic was activated!
The next instant, she landed lightly beside Isa and Cromwell without even taking a breath.
"Damn it!"
The demon roared and activated a high-speed movement spell as well. His figure flashed through the air and landed on the opposite bank where Laofen and the others were.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, the stone bridge, having lost its single-sided support, completely collapsed.
Large chunks of rock plunged into the churning lava below, creating bursts of dark red spray.
Lynn plummeted straight down along with the broken half of the stone bridge.
This level of fall was entirely within his calculations.
Even the trajectory of the fall had been rehearsed countless times in that brief glimpse into the future.
The next moment, he suddenly twisted his body and thrust his right-hand longsword into the rock wall next to him!
laugh!
The blade sliced into the rock, sending up a long trail of dazzling sparks.
The downward momentum suddenly decreased.
Just as the momentum was about to end, Lynn followed closely with his longsword in his left hand.
My body has completely stabilized.
At that moment, the sounds of fierce fighting came from above.
"Looks like it's begun."
Lynn's lips curled up slightly as he alternated between his two swords, climbing up the cliff face.
At this distance, he could guess the battle situation above without needing to anticipate it.
That demon made a fatal mistake.
He thought that the seemingly harmless Laofen was a lamb to the slaughter.
Little did they know, if that girl really got into a fight, she would be no match for most demons.
……
Edge of the broken bridge.
"I'm going to tear you to pieces!"
Enraged at having escaped death, the demon swung his black scythe at Laofen.
Laofen immediately raised his staff to retaliate.
"Clang! Clang!"
The staff and scythe clashed repeatedly, sparks flying everywhere.
The demons grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, because the human girl was actually slightly faster than them!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
The demon race was completely put on the defensive.
After another fierce collision, the demon used the force to propel itself backward, creating a distance of more than ten meters.
A dent appeared on his chest armor, a result of being forcefully struck by the staff earlier.
We can't fight it head-on.
These humans are no ordinary people.
We must retreat!
The thought flashed through their minds, and the demons no longer hesitated.
The magic beneath his feet erupted instantly, and his body transformed into a black streak, shooting towards the depths of the maze.
Seeing this, Raofen also used her signature magic, High Speed Movement.
The demon, who was fleeing at top speed, only saw a blur before Raofen blocked his path.
How could someone be faster than me?
The demons were filled with shock and turmoil.
"This road is blocked."
Laofen raised her staff.
The demon's pupils constricted, and he tried to turn and run away, but it was too late.
The tip of Laofen's staff lit up, and a concentrated burst of magic power erupted instantly.
"Shadow Magic!"
A jet-black beam of light burst forth at point-blank range, instantly piercing through the demon's chest.
The demon lowered its head blankly, making a "clucking" sound in its throat, and finally knelt on the ground unwillingly.
Black magical particles rose up, and the demon's body dissipated like a weathered sand sculpture.
After the battle, Raofen put away her staff and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.
The series of high-speed movements and burst attacks just now also took a toll on my stamina.
"Well done, young lady!"
Cromwell walked over carrying his spiked club and slapped Lauffen hard twice on the back, making her stumble.
Isa walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down at Lynn climbing below, and said with a slight parting of her red lips, "What a reckless guy."
A moment later, a hand gripped the rock at the edge of the cliff.
Lynn flipped onto the platform and dusted himself off.
"Are you alright?"
Laofen rushed to greet her, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
"What could possibly be wrong with me?"
Lynn casually sheathed his sword and praised, "You did a good job, though."
In that instant, Raofen went from being held hostage to retaliating and escaping, and then to pursuing and killing him. The whole process was swift and decisive. She truly lived up to her reputation as a level three mage; her strength was indeed up to par.
He then glanced at the last wisp of black particle that had dissipated.
In the thirty-second scene that foreshadows the future, the death of the demons is already a predetermined fate.
"Miss Isa, which way do we go next?"
Lynn looked at Isa, who was observing him with great interest.
"I'd like to go inside and take a look."
Isa pointed to the depths, "In these large, unexplored labyrinths, the core area always holds some surprises, such as rare magical artifacts."
"Let's just find a way out."
Lynn said, "That demon was just a scout. The fact that he appeared here means this area is already a frequent territory for demons. It's not worth taking that risk for a few uncertain magical artifacts."
Upon hearing this, the eagerness in Isha's eyes faded slightly, and she said, "Then I'll listen to you and come with me."
After saying that, he led everyone straight to the exit.
Along the way, whenever some foolish monsters darted out from the shadows or crevices, Lynn and Laofen didn't need to lift a finger.
Cromwell's physical exorcism was very timely.
Two days later.
"The exit is just ahead."
Isa looked at the light streaming in from ahead, and her tone became a little more relaxed.
As the four of them stepped out of the cave, a blast of cold air hit them instantly, invigorating them.
This is already in the heart of the north, and the temperature is much lower than when we first entered the ruins.
Isa tightened her mage robes, her breath turning into a cloud of white mist, and warned, "The closer we get to Endai, the more frequent the demon activity will be. Everyone be careful."
"Um."
Laofen nodded solemnly, then cupped her hands around her mouth and breathed out a puff of warm air.
He took out the simple map from his pocket and unfolded it in the wind.
His finger landed on the mark of the Taklamakan Maze, then slowly moved upwards, finally stopping at a location marked with an outpost symbol: "Follow this road, and you'll reach a border outpost before dark. Beyond that is the northernmost border city, Northern City."
After speaking, he turned his gaze to a road on the edge of the cliff, wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through.
The four did not linger and immediately began trekking along the path beside the cliff.
"There's smoke ahead."
Laofen suddenly pointed to the distant sky.
Lynn looked in the direction Laofen pointed and saw several plumes of black smoke shooting straight into the sky. Even from a distance, he could smell a burning odor.
