Chapter 10 Escape

Wendyn succeeded with one move, and the other three arms followed one after another. Ashu Rufate threw away the useless half-cut sword in his hand and summoned another sword.

The Withering Sword and the Lightsaber intersected head-on, but the result this time was completely different. Ash Rufate's hand clearly felt the impact from the sword body through the hilt of the sword. It was not like a lightsaber made of magical energy, but rather like a physical sword. The lightsaber was opened, but Ash Rufate was forced to retreat because the other two sword-holding arms had already attacked from both sides.

Wendini immediately caught up, four lightsabers intertwined into a dazzling deadly dance.

Now Ash Rufate finally understood why Carrie left by herself. What he was facing was not an ordinary enemy, or rather, it was more suitable for four enemies. This thing was different from humans - even if human warriors use double swords, they were mainly one sword in actual combat, and the other sword could only restrain the auxiliary attack. And all four hands of this thing were the main attack!

This style of fighting made Ash Rufate extremely uncomfortable. He fought and retreated, and for a while he could only resist and was suppressed to breathe. If he was still a year ago, he would have been dismembered by the Sword.

"Carrie, speed me up!" Ashu Rufat yelled at Carrie in his mind.

"Master, I don't recommend you to do this..." Carrie lamented, but she did it as Ash Rufate asked.

Now, Wendyne's original extremely fast movement became slow in Asu Ruffatt's eyes. He easily avoided the opponent's attack and immediately took the opportunity to counterattack. But he immediately felt something was wrong. The advantage he gained in a short acceleration was far less than expected. Wendyne retracted his sword and returned to defend, and the guard was airtight. His only result was to use the sword to sweep the elbow of one of Wendyne's arm and cut a small piece. The wound showed a metallic luster. However, Wendyne's movement did not stop at all.

The power that filled the whole body dissipated, and Ash Rufate knew that the time limit had come. Wentini immediately changed from closing to offensive, and her movements were smooth and she had no flaws.

No matter how confident Ash Rufate had before, he had to consider a way to escape. He tried his best and finally forced the terrible opponent to temporarily retreat, and took the opportunity to flash behind a stone to get himself a short breathing time.

"Master, your combat mode has been interpreted by it... According to the energy comparison, your chances of defeating him will not exceed three percent." Carrie replied.

"What about magic? Can you deal with it with magic?"

"It has a protective field, your attack magic will not work, and you will be attacked by it in a short gap when you use magic." Carrie replied, dispelling Ash Rufate's last fantasy.

"Master, you'd better run away quickly." Carrie suggested.

But it was not easy to escape at this time. In a blink of an eye, Wendini had already bypassed the stone and rushed towards him from the slant. The four-armed lightsaber hid the murderous intent of death.

"Master!" Mimilu's scream came from behind. "Dangerous, the guard is here!"

Only then did Ashu Rufat realize that there was a red light flashing above his head. I don’t know where these red lights came from, but flashed at the top of this basement. Even fools could feel that this was issuing an alarm. No matter how incompetent the patrol guards here were or how badly the guards were arranged, such clear warnings were enough to attract hundreds or even thousands of guards.

This brief distraction became the end of the entire battle. Ash Rufate realized that it was too late to make a mistake. A lightsaber passed through the gap where he was parried, pierced the armor on his abdomen, and poked it out from behind him.

Wendyn raised her sword-holding arms and picked Eshu Rufate up effortlessly. If the lightsaber hadn't pushed the thickest breastplate on his chest, Eshu Rufate would have been cut in half from the middle of his body. Wendyn's arm swung hard, Eshu Rufate's body flew high, fell backwards from a distance, falling between several rocks. The impact of this impact was enough to kill humans on the spot.

Ash Rufate immediately turned over and sat up, and a sticky and sweet liquid surged from the depths of his throat uncontrollably. This was his own blood.

"Master...Run..." At this moment, even Carrie's voice seemed messy and chaotic in her mind.

Ash Rufate knew that he could no longer defeat this opponent. He had no time to feel the humiliation of failure, and immediately ran back with the maximum speed he could reach at this moment. This was a small gentle slope with rocks. Under Carrie's guidance, he used the cover of stalagmites to constantly avoid the deadly magic arrows shot from behind.

"Master, it's safe to run a little further. That guy's duty is to guard, so it won't chase you too far."

In fact, it seems to prove Carrie's judgment. Wendy's magic arrow kept shooting, but did not chase after him. The stalagmites that were not cleaned up in this natural cave became Ash Rufate's natural cover, and almost all the magic arrows were shot above the stalagmites. After the distance between them further widened, Wendy stopped attacking and returned to the previous eternal patrol.

Ashu Rufate stopped at the edge of the basement—where the natural caves connect to the artificial excavated underground caves.

What came from the wounds on his abdomen was indescribably severe pain. He had been bullets, crossbows, swords, and even affected by magic on the battlefield. He did not feel any special pain in all these injuries. Ashu Rufate once thought that his pain was numb, but the facts now proved that he was completely wrong. The reason why those injuries in the past were ignored was simply because they were not seriously injured enough.

His feet softened and he almost fell down. The strong pain like burning wounds almost overwhelmed everything else. At this moment, there was a clanging sound of metal hitting clearly. Needless to say, the guards who received the warning were swarming in. If Ashu Rufate continued to move forward, he would have collided with the guards. Even if he remained still, he would have only delayed the meeting for half a minute.

With the current situation, he knew that he could no longer fight.

"Is this my ending?" He smiled in a low voice, not knowing whether to ask himself or Carrie in his mind.

"Master, I will make a disguise of color change, hoping it will work..." Carrie made her last effort, and his armor changed color quickly, becoming the same as around her. But Ashu Rufat knew that this effort was not very hopeful, because he was not the complete environmental discoloration of Mimilu after all, and his body was too big and too conspicuous. As long as the guards paid a little attention, he would definitely be discovered.

"On here!"

"Catch up on this side..."

"Ah... it ran behind... what's that... Everyone chased after me!"

The sound of the guards came from afar, and then the clanging sound of metal scattered impact began to go away, getting farther and farther away, Ash Rufate couldn't believe his ears. What happened? The guards were all led away?

"Master, that's Mimilu!" Carrie explained in her mind, and Ashu Rufat immediately understood the truth. It was Mimilu! She could have used her talent to easily escape from the guard's nose, but she did not do so, but led the pursuers away desperately.

It should be that she used her agile skills and small size to pass through the guards directly. In this way, she would attract everyone's attention in an instant. In theory, Mimilu's movements are faster than humans and can escape. Even if she enters a dead end, as long as she can find an opportunity, she can hide it with her own talent for changing colors and hiding.

But if the guard has weapons such as muskets, crossbows, Mimilu is in danger of life. There is no doubt that if the other party finds that the other party has the possibility of escaping, the guard will definitely take action. It is better to kill him than to let the other party escape.

"Master, we must take this opportunity to leave!" Carrie reminded. Ashu Rufat also knew that if he didn't leave at this time, he might never be able to walk again. However, the brief pause just now made the wound on his abdomen worsen - he didn't know whether it was caused by exercise to further crack the wound or just relaxing, causing the pain to increase. He was able to run away from Wendini's attack, but now he staggered even when he walked.

Carrie controlled the armor to deform and color again, becoming a common armor style. When Ash Rufate sneaked in, she saw many guards standing guard wearing this kind of armor. In this way, you can pretend to be alone when encountering a single guard. Although it may not be effective, it is better than nothing.

However, now Ash Rufat understands why the guards here are so relaxed. With such a monster guard, he really doesn't need human guards very much.

Ashu Rufate staggered forward, and blood flowed down the wound, leaving blood spots on the ground one by one. He did not meet anyone, because the security here was not strong, and at this moment, he was rushing to chase Mimilu. But the real trouble was not here, but on the ground.

The outer periphery of the Grand Temple must have been highly alert to prevent the invaders from escaping. With his current state, once he is discovered, there is probably no hope of escaping.

Chief Chris was sleeping hazy.

Maybe it was because of the strange bed, or because of the uneasiness of tomorrow, so she didn't sleep very deeply tonight. Although the church politely received her, invited her to have a meal and arranged accommodation, the deacon she was about to meet did not see her-she came a step late, and the deacon left Oren two days ago and went to work far away, maybe she wouldn't come back until a day or two before the festival.

But in that case, Captain Chris and her "Summer Night's Dream" probably wouldn't have the chance to perform at the festival. Losing this opportunity... may mean that "Summer Night's Dream" will never have the possibility of standing on the stage of the big city theater.

How can such a rare opportunity be missed? All the great future she planned, all those dreams full of bright futures...

No, she must get rid of all this. Judging from the tone revealed by the priest who was responsible for receiving them, the deacon should be a very powerful person, otherwise they would not have been entertaining two strangers in just a letter of introduction. This shows that as long as some means are used properly, maybe...

What sound? The sound of the outside brought Captain Chris back to the real world from half-dream and half awake. She realized what was important in this temple and even broke the tranquility of the night.

Then a figure staggered, knocked open the unlocked door and rushed in.
