Inside the tavern.
The candlelight on the bar seemed to be affected by some inexplicable influence. It became dim and swaying. It was no longer enough to illuminate the entire bar and might go out at any time.
In this small space, Holo felt that the fishy smell in his nasal cavity was getting stronger and stronger, and the source... was in the gradually mutating Green.
In the light and dark space at the bar, a huge figure stood there quietly like a stone sculpture.
The muscles all over Green's body were bulging and squirming. The flesh holes that were still bleeding just now were now filled with new growths, and large hard and sharp black scales grew out from under his torn clothes.
The mutated Green seemed to have an extra attraction for Hero. He touched his chest, and the beating heart inside made a thumping sound like a big drum.
As Green walked out of the dark area, with the dim light of the candlelight, Hero could see clearly... The scales covered were like black armor, even the neck and head were covered in place, leaving no gaps.
The head held up by the thick neck no longer looked like a human being. His eyeballs swelled and protruded from the sockets, and the whites of his eyes took up most of them, forming a perfect contrast with the black scales on his face.
The flesh on both sides of the cheeks kept opening and closing, and white air would spit out from time to time, turning into fish gills.
Moreover, on Green's head, Hero saw some knotted hair, and could even smell the fishy, rotten, moldy smell wafting from it. The scales all over his body were dripping with water, but in just a moment, under his feet, A large pool of water has already accumulated.
Not only Green, but the other drinkers behind him also mutated to varying degrees, but the mutation was not as comprehensive and terrifying as Green's.
Seeing this scene, Hero couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
'It looks like the mutated muscles are really strong. Judging from the small bodies of these magicians, they should be punched one by one.
With the force of the rune-iron nails just now, Green could only make a few bloody holes, but now it seems that not only his body but also his recovery ability have improved several levels. It would be difficult to hurt him again. '
Before Holo could guess the scene of the fight between the two sides, Green on the opposite side could no longer stand it.
Boom!
Come in big strides!
Green's foot made the floor squeak, and several boards were even broken and had their corners tilted due to their age.
This oppressive feeling rushed straight to the door, and all kinds of terrifying existences kept pouring out of Holo's mind. To use a metaphor, it was like the Hulk wearing heavy armor.
What to block?
Behind him were four snarling murlocs, as if the orcs would never be slaves.
In the blink of an eye, Green crossed the entire tavern and rushed to Hero. He was the closest to Green in terms of position because Mena had checked his body before.
Oops!
The first punch was aimed at myself!
Staring at Green's cruel and playful eyes,
Hero resisted the trembling caused by the pressure on his body, and scanned the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision.
He quickly stooped and rolled to the right, which was exactly where the table had been wiped. Not only was the space spacious, there were several tables and chairs that could be used as blocks, and there were windows as a way to escape.
As for the magician behind him?
What does it have to do with him?
He is just a fourteen-year-old child. The amplitude effect brought by [Physique] is improved based on the original physical body. As for his current appearance, he is skinny and has no flesh.
One punch can directly pronounce the sentence... hopeless!
And just as he dodged, the sorceress behind him snorted coldly.
After rolling in a circle, Hero subconsciously looked back. An incredible scene happened. A huge ice sculpture that looked like a horse rose up in front of Mena. The whole thing was crystal clear.
And it was this ice sculpture that appeared instantly, blocking Green who could not stop his pace, and penetrated straight through his chest without any obstruction. The very thick scales on Green's chest had no effect at all.
Green's big protruding eyes stared straight at Mena, as if he didn't expect it to end so soon.
It had been too long since a magician had arrived at the port. From the few descriptions left by his ancestors, he might never be able to understand the difference between them and the magicians.
Green's big mouth full of fangs vomited out a large ball of dirty green blood. The residue was sprayed on the ice sculpture Juma, making a "sizzling" corrosive sound, and in the penetrating wound, a large amount of blood flowed down the Juma. blood.
From Holo's point of view, Green's huge body was penetrated neatly by the horse, which gave him an indescribable sense of beauty.
too fast.
That's it?
This is the magician's ability to dominate the world!
Comparing the two, Green is like a piglet taking the initiative to enter the cage.
"Dirty~"
Mena indifferently flicked out a finger, and a runic iron nail condensed out of the void, and it burst into Green's head.
One step away, the target was unable to resist, even though it was covered with scales, the rune-iron nail was driven directly into the center of Green's eyebrows, completely engulfed.
As for the reaction...
Green has been motionless since the moment the horse penetrated his body...
Hero even suspected that the purpose of Mena popping up the rune nail was to forcefully install it.
There was a good reason, because after he finished doing this, he turned around and smiled at himself.
The remaining drinkers and murlocs were already frozen in place with fear due to Green's sudden death.
The sorceress casually fired the 'Cliff Sword', and four icicles shot up from the ground, tearing several people in half from bottom to top, and the dead could no longer die.
However, as four modules popped out of their bodies...but there was no movement on Green's body.
"Are you envious of the magician's power? You are not contaminated with the mark of the deep sea. Maybe you have a chance to awaken the soul circuit."
Mena fanned his nose, as if he was disgusted by the rotten smell in the air.
Faced with Mena's joking expression, Hero couldn't really have any good impression of him.
From the moment he entered the tavern, to the loud talk while drinking, and even to the moment of Green's death, he acted aloof and indifferent.
Hero was silent. Mena's behavior made it difficult for him to tell. Was he playing a trick on himself?
There is no imprint of the deep sea. Maybe this special point makes Mena curious, but Hero doesn't think Mena will care about this if he wants to have some fun with him.
There was a sudden shout in the rainy night outside the window, and a thunderbolt flashed.
The sudden sound was like a conventional notification, causing the four apprentice magicians to look at Mena.
"Assistant teacher, [Deep Sea Backlash] is here."
Mena pretended to be shocked by lightning and comforted Hero:
"Oh~ Unfortunately, they have to complete their semester tasks, you know! As a teaching assistant, you have to be responsible, otherwise you won't get high marks in the promotion test. My child, stay here, and I will come back to pick you up when I'm done. .”
Without waiting for Hero to respond.
He led four apprentice magicians into the rainy night.
Hero stood by the window, watching their figures disappearing into the heavy rain.
"Damn, bro, the anklets haven't been taken off yet!"
He finally figured out that Mena was so evil that he deliberately let himself stay in a bar with corpses on the ground without fear of scaring the children.
I don’t know what [Deep Sea Backlash] they are talking about. This is not recorded in the official website expansion pack. It seems that the sacrifice Green asked about before is related to this. After all, the meeting of the two groups was too coincidental.
Turning around, Hero quickly glanced up and down at Green, who was lying on his horse.
Slowly approach and absorb the remaining soul fragments from Mena and the sorceress's soul-spelling operation.
[Soul Shards +1024]
What makes Hero more curious is that whether it is an ice sculpture or a runic iron nail, Mena and the others fabricated it out of thin air. However, after losing the supply of soul energy for so long, they still maintain their original appearance without any change.
This is inconsistent with the conservation of energy!
And just when Hero was stroking the ice sculpture curiously, a strong fishy smell penetrated into his brain along his nose.
There were whispers, screams, and weird murmurs in my ears, which together formed a chapter of prayer.
It kept chanting in his ears. The chapter was not long, and Hero could clearly distinguish the beginning and the end, but it was precisely this that made him particularly painful.
Hero couldn't help but be extremely suspicious.
"No, I have to embrace the deep sea! I just have the chance to awaken the soul circuit, and you cut it off? Which Lord of the deep sea is looking at you, and you are so arrogant, you are so skinny and two pounds of flesh, no matter how you hug me, you can't be like It swells up like Green, which undermines the majesty of your Lord of the Deep Sea."
But those whose memories of the port being stained by the deep sea have never experienced such an operation.
Before he could continue to think deeply.
Green, who had lowered his head and remained motionless, suddenly raised his head.
He stared at Holo with his two eyes like dead fish... staring...
Pupils as small as mung beans seemed to contain a hint of greed.
The completely submerged runic iron nail on his forehead was circling and being squeezed out inch by inch.
"Ho...ho...Luo, help..."
With difficulty, his throat blocked by blood clots screamed for help.
Holo put his face close to him and looked up and down, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see sincerity.
Only two words could be seen between the ferocious scales.
eat human!
"It's really dirty and disgusting! Bah!"
On the card slot of the module system, a blue module flickered with a cold light.
"Dark Blue! Add some more!"
The soul fragments that had just accumulated over a thousand in the upper right corner of the system instantly turned into single digits.
[Steel Charge +2]
Hero held the rune iron nail that was half squeezed out with force. As the amplitude of the module increased, an imperceptible cold light flashed through the rune iron nail.
In Green's increasingly delighted and greedy eyes, he slowly pulled out...then inserted suddenly...stirred!
A black module jumped out from the center of his eyebrows.
