Chapter 18: The Ambush (End)

"Rush!"

Frederick, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, and at this moment, when he heard the order of Bilan's heart, the young man immediately raised his long sword and rushed out with a shout. Serena and Ser Bair hurriedly followed, and jumped out with the remaining three soldiers, forming a line of defense to encircle the lich's path.

Seeing the sudden appearance of these humans in front of him, the lich was also stunned, but it reacted quickly, and immediately stretched out its right hand to point forward, and soon a black ray flew out from the lich's fingertips and shot towards Frederick, who was rushing to the front.

"Wow."

In the face of this sudden attack, Frederick screamed, looking as if he was forced to be embarrassed, but in fact he performed with ease and rolled down on the spot, able to dodge the black ray's attack, and then saw the long sword in Frederick's hand plunged into the snow, and then slammed forward.

“——!”

The white snowflakes flying in the sky suddenly blocked the lich's sight, and it could be seen that although this young man looked very aggressive, he had a lot of actual combat experience, but it was no wonder that Frederick had led his subordinates to fight in the northern mountains and forests, and I am afraid that he had no less dealings with some spellcasters, but in front of the lich, his ability was still too tender.

Although it was obscured by the wind and snow, the lich did not stop because of this, as an undead creature, it looked at the world in a different way than the living, so even the cold snowflakes scattered and fluttered at the moment did not affect it too much. But for now, the lich didn't have time to waste here, and with a wave of his hands, the whistling air swept away the wind and snow in front of him, but by this time Sir Bair and several other soldiers had already joined in, and cooperated with Frederick to surround the lich.

Seeing that things are not good. The lich also snorted coldly, and then its hands stepped forward, and only a few soft "pops" were heard, and it saw a black fire erupt in front of the lich, and then the billowing black mist erupted from it, rolling in all directions. Then these black mist condensed into human shapes, they held the blades of magic condensation, their eyes exuded a cold light, and the whole person was like a frozen cloud and rushed towards the people in front of them with the weapons in their hands held high.

"It's a Nightmare Warrior! Be careful, they're imaginary creatures! Don't approach! Attack the mana condensation point in the middle of their foreheads! ”

Seeing this scene in front of her, Serena couldn't help but cry out loudly, and at the same time the girl raised her hands in the air.

“Nuymira!”

As Serena chanted, the earth trembled, and sharp ice edges burst out of the ground. Flying towards the Nightmare Warriors in front of them, they soon saw that the crystal clear ice blades tore apart the bodies of the two Nightmare Warriors, but in the face of Serena's attack, the two Nightmare Warriors only took two steps back in embarrassment, and soon, their pierced bodies returned to their original state.

Seeing this scene in front of her, Serena gritted her teeth, although she had no experience fighting the undead. But there are not a lot of girls with knowledge at all. She knew very well that these nightmare creatures were difficult to deal with, unless she killed their summoner or hit the only point of mana condensation of these void creatures. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to defeat them.

But......... Oops!!

Thinking of this, Serena was stunned for a moment, they didn't come here to fight some nightmare warriors! The mage girl hurriedly raised her head and looked around, and all she saw was the figure of the lich flying by——— black shadow flashing not far in front of her eyes. Fly forward. At the same time, the figure of Frederick, who had escaped the entanglement of the Nightmare Warrior, also appeared from the side.

"Get out of the way, Serena!"

Frederick shouted, raised the long sword in his hand, and soon saw the cyan wind glow on the blade. Then he swung it hard.

With Frederick's movements, the cyan wind element whistled by, piercing the sky and rushing towards the lich in front of him, opening its mouth like a cheetah leaping through the air, revealing the sharp and sharp teeth inside——— which is exactly what Frederick inherited from the Wind Bringer, the firmament inherited Balder's swordsmanship, the Wind Hunting Blade.

However, the lich is not easy, it does not stop, but the white bone shield that rotates on three sides has quietly appeared around it, and at this moment, the cyan wind cheetah slammed into it, and then shattered and split. And the white bone shield, which looked strong and hard, also "snapped" and turned into pieces and disappeared.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene in front of her, Serena couldn't help but be slightly stunned, as a mage, of course she knew that the White Bone Shield was one of the most commonly used spells by mid-level necromancers, and the White Bone Shield released by the Legendary-level Lich was even harder. She knows Frederick's strength very well, and it is only the level of the master's beginner, and her fiancé, who is a hanger, has been lingering here for several years, and Serena knows this very well. But now, she saw Frederick's swordplay shatter the bone shield of a Legendary Realm Lich with a single blow? That's a little too fake, isn't it?

Or is this lich an imposter at all?

"Drink, ah, ah!!"

But before Serena could figure out what was going on, Frederick had already swung his sword again, the young swordsman's speed was extremely fast, almost the work of the front and rear feet of the Zeetah of the Wind reached the Lich's side, when the Cheetah of the Wind smashed the white bone shield at the same time, Frederick had already taken the opportunity to slash out with a sword, the Lich obviously did not expect that his white bone shield would be shattered, and his body couldn't help but slow down, Frederick, as an experienced warrior, naturally would not let go of this opportunity, I saw him holding the sword with both hands and moving forward, and then saw the sharp blade pierce the lich's body like this.

It worked!

Frederick, who had succeeded in the first blow, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, but before he could express his pride, a crisp voice suddenly appeared.

"Get out of the way!"

This voice was not familiar to Frederick, but it was not unfamiliar, it was the young woman who looked drowsy with them before, although he didn't understand why he didn't take the opportunity to make up for this guy's last blow, but the warrior's years of experience and acumen still made Frederick draw his sword and retreat in an instant, and almost at the same time, Frederick felt a strong wind fly across his cheek, and the sharp wind blade almost broke his neck. Frederick looked up in surprise, only to find that the lich was raising his head at this moment, and its anger could be seen from the two bright red lights in the pitch-black cloak, which made Frederick secretly frightened, although he had long heard of the terrible and difficult of the undead, but only by fighting in person could he know how terrible they were. The sword he just now is accompanied by the power of the wind element, and if he is a living being, he will have to go to half a life if he doesn't die at this time, but he didn't expect a sword to slash at the body of this lich The other party actually didn't react at all, and it was ridiculous that he still wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, if he continued like this, I am afraid that he would not even know how he died.

Although Frederick always looked like a hanger, but as an experienced warrior, he was not unaware of the seriousness, and Frederick, who dodged the lich's counterattack, turned over and stood firmly on the snow, and then he held the sword in both hands and stepped back vigilantly, staring at the lich in front of him.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, it was only a blink of an eye, but the lich clearly had no intention of fighting here, and as soon as it stepped back, it wanted to leave.

But it's not that easy anymore.

A golden, sacred barrier appeared out of thin air, circling a large semicircle, forming a tall meniscus wall that blocked the lich's path and clogged it in. At this time, Serena and Frederick saw a figure slowly walking out of it, and came to a short distance behind the lich——— Bilan's heart was still that leisurely appearance, the girl was riding on the horse obliquely, she was still half-asleep, holding the heavy book with both hands on the big black cover beside her, Serena noticed that the book was open at the moment, and there seemed to be a lot of things written on it.

“………………………”

The lich turned, his bright red eyes staring at Bran's Heart, and then the lich raised his staff.

At the same time, Serena suddenly noticed that Bilan's heart put the index finger of her right hand on the page, and then, she opened her mouth, and then saw the girl's mouth keep opening and closing, as if it was speeding up, and the shape of her mouth changed rapidly. At this moment, the lich raised the staff of bone in his hand, and soon saw several bone spurs emerge out of thin air, stabbing towards Bilan's heart.

"Be careful!"

Seeing this scene in front of them, Serena and Frederick couldn't help but cry out, their strength was not weak, and they naturally had some feelings about the strength of this young lady. In Selena and Frederick's eyes, Bilan's heart is just an ordinary person, she doesn't have strong magic powers, she doesn't have strong swordsmanship skills, and her physique is also very average. In the face of the Lich's attack, such a person may be more than lucky.

And just when they were worried, they saw Bi Lan's heart stretch out his index finger and pull it forward.

"Smack!!"

Dozens of bone spurs that flew through were completely shattered in front of Bilan's heart and disappeared, and at this moment, beside her, three white bone shields were slowly suspended there, slowly rotating with Bilan's heart as the center.

What's going on?

Seeing this scene, Serena and Frederick were stunned. (To be continued......)
