"hiss!!!"
Hydra. No, maybe it should be called a twenty-three-headed snake now. In just ten minutes, its heads began to multiply.
In the legend of Hydra, there is a hundred-headed form, which should be an extension of its ability.
In the long past, maybe someone really guided it to this form.
In a sense, it is the same as Li Huo. As its head gradually proliferates, its power will become more and more powerful.
White even felt that its size had grown a lot, and the twenty-three heads were shaking, which made people feel chilled in their hearts.
Several magicians wanted to try to use weather spells to summon thunder and lightning to destroy all the heads, but the rest of the witch party would come up to stop them.
A magician was accidentally scratched by the teeth of the Hydra. Just a little bit, the terrible poison quickly spread to his body, and his whole face turned purple-gray to the naked eye, and he was covered in an instant.
Moreover, the poisonous gas emitted from the body was still escaping to the surroundings, and some people were quickly infected after getting a little bit of it.
Some smart people quickly cut off the infected parts after being infected, thus avoiding the same ending as others.
The crosshairs in White's eyes were locking on those heads one after another. He was very unfamiliar with the silver bow, so the locking speed was also very slow.
However, the extremely conspicuous appearance of this silver bow would not be ignored. Those Gaiward supporters who knew the power of the divine bow immediately rushed forward to stop White.
The law enforcers wanted to come up and help, but some of them had to deal with Hydra, and some of them had to deal with the Gaiward believers, so they couldn't react at all.
Dina wanted to rush over, but another member of the Witch Party on one side threw a petrification magic directly at her.
Dina's reaction speed was also very fast. She directly raised her hand to use magic to block. She wanted to go up quickly, but the witch party that kept coming around made her a little tired of dealing with it, which also made her more and more irritated.
"Whitey!" Dina shouted loudly, "Leave quickly!!!"
Hansen saw the members of the Witch Party flying towards him. He subconsciously took a step back, swallowed and looked at White.
"White, it seems, someone is coming."
White gritted his teeth. At this moment, he only had the last head left to lock. If he let go at this time, all the previous efforts would be wasted.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down as much as possible, and there was a little more determination in his eyes.
However, at the same time, he also faintly heard a melodious howl in his ears. It was somewhat like the howl of a lone wolf, but it was somewhat different.
I seem to have heard it somewhere.
White seemed to realize something, and his grip on the bowstring became calmer.
However, the members of the Witch Party who came up from all around also raised their wands and pointed them at White, who was not far away. Some of them were Luen, George and others who had been staring at White in the tavern before.
They were responsible for dealing with White, so they knew the power that White's bow could bring.
Rune raised the wand in his hand and chanted the spell without any hesitation.
"Avada eats the big melon!"
This is the spell of Avada Kedavra, one of the three unforgivable curses, which almost guarantees death.
However, the moment he recited this spell.
"Roar!"
The low roar of the giant beast came from Roen's side.
The next moment, he only felt that he was hit hard by a high-speed carriage. He flew dozens of meters into the air and landed heavily on the ground, sliding out a long slide on the snowy mountain. .
He spat out a mouthful of blood and felt that his internal organs were churning.
The magicians hadn't reacted yet, but then they felt the earth tremble, as if some invisible giant was wandering near them.
But soon, they saw a huge and shadowy monster standing in front of them.
They hadn't seen it before because it was translucent.
When it is not moving, the entire monster merges with the background behind it. Only its eyes and teeth look solid, and those eyes are full of ferocity, and its lips are turned out, emitting a low warning sound.
This monster resembles a Rottweiler, but it is twice as big as a woolly mammoth. The most important thing is that it has three heads and is slightly smaller than a hydra.
It is Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, who is in Hades!
Apparently, it left that door and chose to escape Hades in search of White.
There are many loose passages in Hades that connect to the human world. As a unique and organized mythical creature in Hades, even a remnant of the previous dynasty left over from the Gods, its escape will not even be blocked by the God of Death.
Under their gaze, the three-headed dog's figure gradually materialized.
The three-headed dog is a monster from the underworld. Being able to clearly see the figure of the three-headed dog means that they are gradually getting closer to death.
"Avada Kedavra!" George released the most powerful and lethal magic he knew without any hesitation.
The green light shot out, but when it was about to hit the three-headed dog, the head in the middle opened its bloody mouth, and then bit hard at the magic.
Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, the magic light pillar was directly bitten into countless pieces by it, and the magic power it finally turned into dissipated into the air.
George and others' heads were a little confused for a moment.
They had never seen any kind of creature that could chew magic into pieces. After a brief moment of astonishment, they subconsciously took a step back.
However, Cerberus would not wait for them to realize their horror.
"Roar!"
It barked with a ferocious expression, and with the tremor of the earth, its huge body rushed directly towards them.
The mountain-like body rushed toward them. George finally showed a little fear in his eyes, and then shouted loudly.
"run!!!"
The Hydra on one side seemed to sense that death was coming, and rushed towards White with a message in his mouth. Its huge body ran over the corpse on the ground, leaving a long trace on the ground.
But when the monster was only a hundred meters away from him, White finally let go of the bowstring.
"boom!!!"
Arrows from the thick Roman columns shot out of the air, squeezing the air and making a loud noise.
The Roman column arrows automatically split into dozens of arrows in the air, forming a rain of arrows and attacking the Hydra.
"Puch!"
The arrow flying at the front directly shot one of the Hydra's heads.
Then, dozens of arrows rained down on the Hydra's body. All the heads were cleaned in that moment, and the sticky blood spilled all over the ground.
Not even one of those heads was left intact. The thick arrows directly exploded all the heads, and countless broken bones flew around.
This scene was too violent and straightforward, so all the magicians were stunned for a while, and the square was silent for a moment.
It seemed to still have some nerve inertia left, the huge neck was still swinging, and the snake body was twisting forward for a while, but eventually it fell forward and fell at White's feet, but even so it was still twitching. .
White took back his silver bow, let out a breath of turbid air, and collapsed on the ground.
The energy and magic power required to launch this arrow are unimaginable.
If White hadn't had the experience of going to Hades and drinking some water from the River of Fire, he wouldn't have been able to supply the magic power of this arrow at all.
However, just when he was paralyzed on the ground, suddenly!
The neck in the middle of the hydra that was thought to have lost its life suddenly sprouted a head, and the viscous liquid spilled on the ground. The snake head bit White before anyone could react.
Under White's shrunken pupils, a huge figure rushed over from one side and bit the snake's head, easily biting the neck into pieces and spraying blood on its body.
The powerful force even dragged the snake body tens of meters away.
The snake's head was easily bitten off by the powerful bite force and rolled to one side.
Cerberus moved forward for a moment, and then began to bark at the body of the Hydra.
Seeing that it didn't respond, it sat down, and the three heads stuck out their tongues at White and snorted.
If you ignore the blood on its mouth and the human hand stuck in its teeth, this scene is still very cute.
White struggled to stand up from the ground. He wanted to walk towards Cerberus, but movement on the side attracted his attention.
On one side of the battlefield, huge red and blue flames shot into the sky.
At this moment, both Gayward's witch party and the rest of the magicians and law enforcers evacuated the square to make way for the two legendary magicians.
This level of battle is no longer something they can participate in.
Albus and Gayward each occupied half of the square. The flames were raging, and the scorching heat distorted the surrounding air.
The tongues of fire soaring into the sky turned into tentacles flying in the sky.
Gaward manipulated the flame tentacles to flap at Albus, while Albus controlled the flames to defend himself.
The red and blue flames collided together and overlapped to form a tornado of flames that spread in all directions, rising to a height of tens of meters.
Even White, who was some distance away from the square, felt the rapidly rising temperature in the air, and his hair curled up due to the scorching heat.
The snow on the snow-capped mountains melted rapidly, forming a stream flowing down the cliff.
If it weren't for the calm expressions on Gayward and Albus's faces, and even the clothes on their bodies were not damaged, they would have thought that the fierce fire had gotten out of control.
There was disbelief in everyone's eyes. For them, this was definitely the most terrifying battle in the magic world.
Before this, they had never thought that a magician could be so powerful.
White had no doubt that even without the silver bow, these two old men could still kill Hydra alone.
Even the monsters of the Gods are still ashes under their fire
"Gayward!"
In the flames, the firelight reflected Albus's face, and his deep eyes held a complex brilliance.
"Give up, Hydra is dead, your plan has failed, you have never defeated me in the past!"
"How can you know if you don't give it a try!?" Gayward replied.
The blue flames soared into the sky, forming a giant dragon with two legs and bat wings, flapping its wings and making a piercing roar.
At the same time, the red fire behind Albus also formed a giant flame lion, making a deafening roar.
The lion stepped on the flames and collided with the giant dragon. The flames escaped, and the two giant beasts formed by magic fought in the air, biting each other to the death.
"Decades have passed, Gayward!" Albus said excitedly, "Can't you let it go?"
"How do you want me to let it go!?" A look of sullenness appeared on Gaiward's face.
The huge flaming whip attacked Albus. The red flame was scattered by the whip and hit Albus, but the armor protected Albus at this moment.
"You have never experienced this before!" Gayward's eyes reflected the firelight, "What qualifications do you have to let me go!"
"This is no reason for you to take them out of their misery!"
"Suffering? Do you think what I brought to them is suffering?"
"Your idea is too idealistic, Gayward!" Ibbs looked at Gayward's eyes through the flames. "Magic is a miracle that only a few people can possess. The absolute gap between strength and weakness will inevitably lead to strong The absolute oppression of the weak by the weak!"
Gaward fell silent, and the blue firelight shone on his face, making it difficult to see his thoughts clearly.
"Merlin also said this."
"Then why are you still stubborn?" Albus shouted excitedly.
"Merlin can make the rules, and so can I!"
Albus suddenly fell silent, and after a moment, he said.
"You are not Merlin"
"It's not up to you to decide whether you are Merlin or not," Gayward said.
"You can't even defeat me!" Albus said angrily, "How can you restrain everyone in the magic world!?"
"You are taking the lives of thousands of people to pay for your ambition and anger!"
"Stop it, Gayward!"
Gaward said nothing more, and the red fire lion above was bitten on the neck by the giant dragon, letting out a painful roar.
The giant dragon grabbed the giant lion's body with both feet, and with the fluttering of the flame bat wings, the entire flame lion was directly torn to pieces by the giant dragon's power, turning into countless flames and pouring down the sea of fire.
Bathed in the fragments of flames, Gaward slowly spoke.
"Why do you think that I can't defeat you now?"
"Huh~"
The blue flames shot up tens of meters high, and the flaming dragon became even larger, rushing directly towards Albus below.
Albus raised his hand, and the fierce fire from all around rushed towards his palm, forming a flaming sword nearly two meters long.
He stepped forward fiercely, and the fierce fire behind him reshaped into a flaming lion and faced the giant dragon above. But the difference was that this flaming lion had three heads!
At the same time, the flaming sword in his hand was slashed forward from bottom to top, and a flaming sword energy tore apart everything in front of him.
The red flames that tore through him also tore apart Gaiward's blue flames, revealing a slightly stunned Gaiward behind the flames.
With the creation of this gap, the next moment, Albus also made a move.
He took one step forward, holding the flaming sword and rushed towards Gaward like a cannonball. The marble bricks under his feet shattered.
Gaiward reacted, the radiance of magic surged, and a magic of armor protection was blessed on his body, and at the same time he controlled the surrounding fierce fire to shrink.
Looking at Albus rushing towards him, he subconsciously took a step back, trying to distance himself.
But obviously, his speed is not as fast as Albus.
Albus stepped out again, and the blade struck Gaward from top to bottom.
The only thing the armor can protect against is magic, but although this sword of fire is also magic, it is not all magic. The powerful power of the Fire Curse is compressed in a sword, and the energy contained in it is extremely terrifying.
And at the same time, Gayward needs to maintain the Fire Spell, so his defense against magic is not that strong.
The sword flashed at that moment.
"Peng!"
With a crisp sound, the magic around Gaward shattered.
There was also a hideous burning scar on Gaiward's chest, extending from his left shoulder to his right arm and all the way to his palm.
No blood spurted out, because the moment the sword cut the wound, the flames scorched the flesh and stopped the bleeding.
At the same time, the dragon-shaped ring on Gaiward's right hand also shattered - that was what Albus really planned to attack.
Gaward stumbled back a few steps, half-knelt on the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You seem to have forgotten." Albus slowly came to Gayward's side and looked down at Gayward, "I am from Merlin College."
He raised his hand, and the flaming sword formed a very beautiful sword flower in the air, and finally dissipated in the air.
He looked at Gaward and whispered.
"Come back with me, Gayward."
"Why don't you kill me?"
"You are my best friend, Gayward." Albus whispered.
"Ha." Gayward sneered. He slowly raised his head and faced the sky. His eyes were tightly closed and his lips were trembling slightly. "You are as hypocritical as ever."
Albus seemed to want to say something, but the roar of the dragon from above attracted his attention.
The surrounding blue flames did not dissipate due to the fragmentation of Gaiward's casting medium, and the giant dragon in the sky once again tore apart Albus's red lion, although one of its wings was torn off. He looked miserable.
But the fierce fire around it quickly made up for its missing wing.
It flapped its wings and circled around, the blue flames spreading around, and the scorching heat distorted the surrounding space.
There is no doubt that the fierce fire unleashed by Gaward was out of control.
Albus raised his hand and tried to use Ten Thousand Curses to end the magic, but due to the battle just now, his magic power had been almost exhausted.
The magic disappeared the moment it hit the dragon.
And the flame dragon was obviously attracted by this, and dived directly towards Albus.
The hot flames were reflected in Albus's pupils,
But the next moment.
Gayward, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up, raised his hand and used the last of his magic power to cast a wind spell. The powerful hurricane pushed Albus hundreds of meters away before he could react.
In front of Albus's eyes, the fire dragon directly hit Gayward who was still on the spot.
A charred figure was directly knocked away dozens of meters away, and was thrown from the corridor to the heights below!
"Gayward!"
Gaward's clothes had been completely scorched and glued to his body, and his body was covered with burnt groans.
His consciousness was already very blurry, but the strong winds that were constantly hitting him all around also made him aware that he was falling at a high speed at the moment.
People always have revolving doors just before they die, and Gayward is no exception.
When he was unconscious, he remembered many things
He thought of many past things and his mother.
Decades have passed, and my mother’s appearance has become increasingly blurry as time goes by.
He didn't want to forget what his mother looked like, so he kept trying to remember it.
But every time I think about it, I still remember the pain.
But at this moment, his mother's face was extremely clear, as if she was waving to him right in front of his eyes.
His mother is a very kind person.
If the bird falls to the ground due to heatstroke, she will take it back, take care of it carefully, and finally release it.
When the old man next door lost his son, she would often come to her home with potatoes she grew to express her condolences.
She knows some simple herbal medicine, and if some people have headaches or fever, they will come to her for treatment.
From a very young age, his mother taught him to be a kind person.
She is religious, and she always believes that the good deeds she has done in this world will eventually reap rewards in the future.
He used to think so too.
Until the day his mother was falsely accused of being a witch.
The old man who lost his son and whose mother came to bring him potatoes every day, angrily accused his mother, saying that she had used witchcraft to curse her son to death.
The herbs her mother used to heal others were said to be evil medicines of witches.
Those who were treated by his mother became witnesses who proved that her mother was a witch.
Everyone in the whole block was shouting that the witch should be executed, but no one spoke for his mother and interceded for her.
Everyone identified her as a witch, and even Gayward's heart was shaken at that moment.
Why?
This was the question that came to his mind the most after his mother died.
That was also the first time he knew.
Know that in this world, humans not only have good, but also evil.
Later, he met Merlin and learned a lot. He had a clearer understanding of the world and understood the complexity of human beings. Good and evil cannot define human beings.
I have a clearer understanding of the truth of the past and why that incident happened.
People need an outlet to vent, the ruling class needs an excuse to ease conflicts, and religions want to take the opportunity to silence themselves and strengthen theocratic power.
And those witches naturally became the best scapegoats.
Why women?
Naturally, the status of women was the lowest in that era.
When my mother was burned at the stake, she screamed in pain and was buried in the sea of fire.
The excited shouts and joyful cheers that came from his ears seemed to still be echoing in his mind.
"Do you hate humans?"
The question he asked himself when he saw Merlin in prison seemed to be echoing again in Gayward's mind.
At that time, he did not answer directly.
At this moment, he whispered softly.
"It's not humans I hate,
Rather
"This World" (End of Chapter)
