Chapter 236: Chapter 157: Golem Legion Organization, Holy Fist_2
“Sherman and the others can at most manufacture demonized weapons. Alchemy level magic items are still out of their reach, let alone magic pattern armor.”
“I’ll have to do it myself.”
Sunan sighed and got up, heading towards the workshop.
Fortunately, the Elemental Pool has been repaired, and the Dragon Forest’s operations are gradually getting back on track. Besides training and enhancing the bloodline concentration of Hidden Dragon, I don’t have other major tasks at hand right now. I can spare the time to make magic pattern armor.
“The magic construction is nearly mastered. By the latter half of next year, my training progress should reach 100%.”
…
On the desolate plains.
Two figures were sprinting rapidly, their speed as swift as shooting stars, faster than the finest war horses.
Even so, the two sprinting individuals occasionally looked back, their pale faces full of panic, as if some terrifying monster was pursuing them.
Not until they ran for two or three hundred kilometers and saw no one catching up did they breathe a little easier and begin to slow down.
Covering such a distance in a short period, even though they were legendary knights, their fighting qi and elemental power were nearly depleted, necessitating finding a place to recover quickly.
The two soon found a hidden cave, sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began recovering their fighting qi and elemental power.
However, as soon as they closed their eyes, they suddenly felt something was wrong and simultaneously opened their eyes, only to be shocked to find themselves back on the plains outside.
“What’s going on?” The taller knight’s expression changed dramatically.
The other older knight with gray temples looked around, showing an expression of disbelief.
“This is where we started!”
The tall knight looked around and indeed found large areas of battle scars not far away, appearing very familiar, precisely the traces left from their recent fight with the enemy.
The tall knight’s face turned pale.
It turned out that their previous sprinting had been running in circles the whole time, hardly escaping far.
Being a member of Holy Fist, he naturally knew why.
Illusion Technique!
They both got caught in the enemy’s illusion!
Hoo!
A gentle breeze suddenly swept by.
Both the tall knight and the elderly knight felt it, simultaneously looking towards the left front, only to find a woman now standing on the previously empty wasteland.
She was a slim and tall woman covered in a gray robe.
Her skin was fair, her hair smooth and soft, radiating an elegant demeanor like that of an aristocratic lady.
Just looking at her figure, most men would be captivated.
—Until they see her face.
Apart from a pair of bright blue eyes, her face featured no other facial attributes.
Dancing droplets revolved around her body, and wisps of pale green wind intermittently appeared.
“Yiluo!”
The tall knight gritted his teeth, uttering a name, showing hate in his expression, but more so fear and apprehension.
Thought they had escaped from this woman’s grasp, only to get caught in an illusion, making futile efforts from start to finish.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Yiluo elegantly bowed slightly to them.
The graceful gesture, made at this moment, carried a heavy sense of mockery.
The expressions of the two Legendary Knights suddenly turned incredibly grim.
“Haha, pathetic!”
Another voice sounded.
Ten meters away, a wisp of flames emerged from the void, rapidly enlarging and quickly formed into a humanoid figure of flames, with a male visage faintly outlined at the face.
His mouth opened and closed, speaking while sparks splattered, landing on the ground leaving small scorched marks.
“Two laughable fellows, realizing they fell into an illusion only after all this time; watching from the side nearly made me burst into laughter.”
He turned to Yiluo, mocking, “If you ask me, you’re being too cautious. Just killing them directly would do; why bother depleting their energy?”
Yiluo wasn’t annoyed, the gentle breeze encircling her subtly swirled, from which an enchanting female voice came.
“After all, these two are Tier Two Legendary Knights, fighting head-on would take quite the effort to kill them, better to proceed as now.”
Seeing the two’s unrestrained conversation, treating the knights as sitting ducks, the expressions of the tall and elderly knights turned livid with rage.
Yet they soon despairingly realized they truly were no match for the pair before them.
A third-level wizard apprentice was already troublesome enough.
Let alone two!
Moreover, the pair were considered among the strongest in third-level wizard apprentices!
“Your Eternal Life Association goes too far! Do you really think we Holy Fist are at your mercy?” The tall knight said through clenched teeth.
“What else?”
The flaming humanoid sneered, revealing a sarcastic smile.
“An organization made up of Legendary Knights dares interfere with wizards’ affairs. It’s hard to say whether you are bold or just reckless.”
“If you’re smart, hand over Evans and the key to the Tower of Stars; I’ll give you a swift end!”
The tall knight snorted coldly, “Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you. Trusting the credibility of the Eternal Life Association is sheer stupidity!”
The flaming humanoid remained unperturbed, instead bursting into laughter.
“That’s correct, seems you’ve gained some wisdom after all.”
“No need to waste words then; once I’ve killed you two, I’ll extract your souls and interrogate gradually!”
As the last word fell, the flaming figure exploded suddenly, turning into countless wave-like flames, rushing forward like a torrent towards the two knights.
The tall knight and the elderly knight exchanged a glance, sharing a tragic smile, quickly regaining their resolute expressions, advancing courageously towards the oncoming flames.
Both knowing there was no way out today, resolved to fight bravely to the death.
Boom!
The plains were soon filled with the echoes of continuous roaring.
Blinding flames and dazzling fighting qi intertwined.
The battle lasted only a mere dozen or so breaths.
Exhausted, the two knights were no match for the Eternal Life Association’s wizard apprentices. Yiluo didn’t even take part, as the flame wizard apprentice easily dealt with them.
“In over your heads, fools!”
The flames receded and gathered again into the flaming humanoid.
He mimicked an inhaling motion, watching as two indistinct phantasmal figures struggled to detach from the charred bodies, helplessly swallowed into his mouth.
“They probably don’t know much.” Yiluo finally spoke.
The Ember scoffed lightly, “No matter, once Holy Fist’s people are killed, Evans will have no place to hide; we’ll find him sooner or later.”
“But that Hunter fellow—he’s close to Evans. If he acts to help Evans escape, it’ll cost us much more effort.”
Yiluo silently consented to Ember’s statement.
A wizard apprentice who managed to escape Saulo’s grasp warranted high regard.
At that moment, both suddenly shifted their gazes to the side.
In the void, a silhouette gradually emerged—it was Saulo.
Saulo glanced at the charred bodies and spoke in a deep voice, “Any gains?”
“Won’t know until the interrogation.” Ember shrugged, “But don’t expect much; these two seem unlikely to know Evans’ whereabouts.”
Yiluo asked, “What about the Stone Scorpion?”
“Same result.” Saulo replied indifferently, “Holy Fist’s secrecy is commendable.”
“What to do next?”
“Continue, uproot Holy Fist completely, force Evans to appear.”
Ember chuckled, licking his lips as he said, “I enjoy such direct approaches. Heard Holy Fist’s leader is quite powerful; let me handle him. I’m eager to savor a strong one’s soul.”
“Suit yourself.”
Upon leaving these words, Saulo’s silhouette gradually vanished in the distance.
A breeze swept by, and Yiluo also disappeared.
“Two dull folks.”
Ember scoffed before transforming into flames soaring skyward.
The time for soul interrogation, relishing the exquisite suffering and agony, awaited.
