There were official knights at the front clearing the way, and several squire knights following up to finish off the attack. Yarrow didn't have to worry about the monsters around him at all.
He maintained the Knight's Breathing Method and took the time to drink the potion to treat trauma, but the pain in his brain still did not subside.
Every minute and every second, with every beat of the heart, the brain seems to be expanding and squeezing the skull, as if a wooden hammer is continuously beating the brain.
It hurts, hurts, and feels uncomfortable!
"The body's resistance is really getting stronger and stronger."
The power of the abyss eroded faster than Yarrow could have predicted.
The effect of the purification potion is to repel foreign energy in the body. After being eroded many times by the power of the abyss, Yaro's body gradually adapted to the existence of the power of the abyss, and the effect of the purification potion was naturally greatly reduced.
Just when Arrow was fainting, Baron Claire had already led several attendant knights to the entrance of the canyon.
He looked at the burning giant Stitched Elephant, saw the trap that had been filled in, and noticed a few fresh blood stains at the entrance. He jumped off the horse, rushed forward without stopping, and shouted at the same time: " You guys stay here and guard!"
At this time, the gorge was crowded with skeletons, making it inconvenient to enter on horseback.
"Yes! Lord Baron!"
The attendant knights responded in unison.
Yaluo braced himself, got off his horse, and shouted, "I'll go with you."
Claire had no time to worry about Arrow at this time, he was already charging into the canyon like a ruthless bison.
When Yaro arrived and entered the canyon, he saw only debris everywhere and a few undead skeletons with most of their bodies missing.
Yaro had no intention of getting entangled with these skeletons. He avoided them if he could, blocked them if he could, and rushed forward anxiously.
"Don't let anything happen. I promised to guard it for an hour!"
Yaro gritted his teeth, used three times the magic power to overcome the pain in his brain, and successfully released the 'Wandering Dragon Body Technique'. His body became ethereal and his speed became faster and faster.
Hurry up!
bump--!
Suddenly there was an obvious muffled sound ahead, and the sound of Baron Claire's collision suddenly disappeared.
"Huh?"
Arrow looked at Claire's back and couldn't help but slow down his steps. With the help of the light of the torch in the canyon, he looked ahead in surprise.
What's going on? Why are there no skeletons over there?
Also, why did Baron Claire stop?
Wait... isn't that the boy I saved just now?
How did he...
"Levi, Levi! Wake up! Levi!"
The boy's harsh cries echoed in the canyon.
Beside him, several veterans were explaining something to Baron Claire.
Yaro noticed the blood stains on the surrounding dead bones, and at the same time saw the dead bone spheres next to them that were superimposed and fixed to each other. Through a few vague words, he finally understood the reason for the death of the emaciated young man.
Undead creatures like to chase and kill living creatures. The young man used his own life as bait to make the undead creatures in front turn around and entangle them with the skeletons behind them, causing them to get stuck in the narrow canyon.
Yaro walked slowly to the quiet young man with a dull expression, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I'm... sorry, it's my fault for not guarding the canyon."
The quiet young man slowly raised his head, looked at the tall and mighty formal knight, and then at the mysterious and powerful demon hunter beside him.
"Master Demon Hunter, it's not your fault. You just went to kill a few particularly powerful monsters, and... you did only leave for a while."
"Really, Lord Demon Hunter, this is actually the best destination for us as men, as soldiers, and as warriors."
He wiped his tears with his blood-stained sleeves, but more and more tears came. The blood and tears mixed together, dyeing his face like a tabby cat.
Warrior... teenage warrior?
Also, a group of them were guarding the entrance to the canyon before, and many people had died at that time.
But now, he was the only one who died, successfully stopping the advancement of the skeleton army.
Yaro pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Bang!
Baron Claire banged his arm on his breastplate, performed a standard knightly salute, and said solemnly: "Master Wu... thank you for your selfless protection!"
Through the explanations of veterans such as Old Charles and Father Hunter, Baron Claire finally understood the reason why Arrow appeared here.
"Thank you Lord Yue for your selfless protection!"
Several veterans on the side followed and saluted.
"Stop talking. Listening to what you just said, the camp roar is getting more serious, right? Go rescue people!" Yaro waved his hands feebly and said tiredly.
Perhaps it was because of the excessive emotional ups and downs in the past, or because of the sequelae of the magic spell, Yaro just felt that his energy was haggard now, and he had no intention of talking at all.
…
After a while.
The wooden hut on the side of the campground.
The candlelight flickers.
Yaro took out the skull mask from the space ring and swallowed all the purification potion placed in it.
The headache was slightly reduced, but his mood was still irritable, the influence of the magic spell still existed, and the nameless anger was building up.
This situation is very abnormal!
Yaro had to find something to do for himself to distract himself from this nameless anger.
He opened the system panel and looked at the total experience on it.
[Personal level LV22: 29766/32000]
Although the efficiency of gaining experience points by destroying skeletons is not as good as those of the undead insects the day before yesterday, with the accumulation of time, it is still on the verge of upgrading.
Yaro thought of the female apprentice he met just now.
"Why can't I move when she shouts 'pardon, be still'? What kind of magic is it? What principles does it follow?"
Yaro began to review the short battle just now.
"Basically, all my powerful attacks require me to be close to the enemy. But when I am close to the enemy, it is easy for the enemy to attack me. At this time, if a 'pardon order, stop' suddenly comes, the consequences are self-evident!"
"By turning on the fourth level of Magic Fighting Technique, you may be able to rely on the strong inertial force to defeat the enemy, but with my current physical condition, it is really not suitable for me to activate Magic Fighting Technique again."
Speed up the upgrade and design a move to counterattack?
He didn't even know how the trick worked. Yaro didn't even know in what direction he should design the move.
"In this case...then we can only change the way of fighting."
One of the biggest reasons why Yaro had always maintained close combat was to gain experience points. But facing the so-called 'Miss Fox', close combat would cost his life.
Therefore, Yarrow can only activate a backup method in advance.
It’s firearms!
The structural diagram of the firearm was designed by Yaro when he was in the academy.
The problem now is making bullets.
