Chapter 697: Raid
After putting away all the powerful weapons, Henry left the blacksmith shop lightly, and locked the door from the inside with the mage's hand. Although the Shadow Thieves Guild had issued a ban on not allowing any thieves to steal from Cromwell, he still felt a little unsafe, after all, the materials in it were worth a lot of money now, and maybe someone would not be able to resist the temptation to take risks.
"Next...... It's time to get rid of the last trouble. Henry took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
Tong Guò's last experience with the divine vampire Veran knew very well that he was a very cautious guy, and if he found that the enemy was too much beyond him, he would immediately choose to flee decisively. There is no doubt that such an opponent is definitely not suitable for a frontal attack with great fanfare, and only infiltration and assassination are the most suitable options.
However, due to the divine creature's strong sense of danger and tenacious vitality, if a single attack does not cause enough lethal damage, the target is likely to escape in an instant like the last time. When the time comes, retrieving the Lamp of Ryan will turn into an endless chase, and precious time will be wasted in this chase. Irenikas had already absorbed the power of the Tree of Life and completed the feat of becoming a mortal god.
Camouflage, stealth, and lethal with one blow, this is the combat strategy that Henry has set for himself. Instead of crushing his opponents with the same brazenness and force as before, he became cautious, trying to avoid all enemy sights, and never striking unless necessary, so as not to let his target notice before attacking.
Of course, it's not easy. First of all, in order to ensure that the body temperature of the living would not be revealed, he did not hesitate to chant a spell. Then lightly touch your left button. This is followed by the right button. The hand that finally cast the spell stopped in front of his forehead.
Kung Fu in the blink of an eye......
The icy magical energy fell on the body, penetrating all the clothing, and even forming a faint hoarfrost on the skin, until every part, every object dropped to the same low temperature.
This is one in Uster. The newly learned low-level magic in the Mage Tower of Nasa City can keep the target creature's body temperature between zero and fifteen degrees Celsius, and it is guaranteed not to be life-threatening. The Dark Elves use it to disguise themselves and look like a rock under dim vision, and vampires happen to have similar visual abilities.
After this qiē is done. Henry shuddered and tried to shake his hands. He was a little unsure if his muscles would be able to maintain normal activity at such a body temperature, because the cold feeling was almost the same as the feeling of death.
But after testing, he found that this magic is really very magical, although the body temperature has dropped a lot, but the heartbeat, blood flow speed, and muscle activity are not affected, as if only the excess temperature has been eliminated.
"It seems that this can fool most vampires, as long as I can get close to a range of about ten meters, I can attack." Henry took a deep breath. The ability to instantly activate the Archmage's Staff has entered a state of invisibility. As soon as he stepped through the passage leading to the catacombs, a dark shadow suddenly appeared and blocked the way.
The guy wears a gray cloak. The posture of standing is very strange, as if he is always stepping on the edge of shadows. I saw that the corners of his mouth under the hood were slightly upturned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "I think you need a helper who can attract attention for a few seconds at a critical moment." ”
The corners of Henry's mouth twitched slightly, and then he lifted his invisibility, resisted the urge to rush up and beat the guy in front of him and asked: "I really didn't expect that the blood head would be willing to send you out at this time, and what I didn't expect was that you could be so bored that you could hide here and watch me complete all the spells." ”
There is no doubt that this person is the number one thief of the Shadow Thieves Guild of Ascatla, Arcanis. Only the legendary thief's supernatural stealth skills can escape the legendary caster's keen perception. He obviously came this time with some special purpose, otherwise he would not have made the time card so accurate.
"Ha, you should understand that the Shadow Thieves Guild has been fighting the vampires endlessly, so the blood head asked me to make sure that all the enemies are killed without leaving any trouble, especially their new queen, who must not run again." As he spoke, Arcarnes took off his hood, revealing his piercing eyes.
He made no secret of his hatred for vampires, and hung blessed stakes and bottles of holy water on the sides of his leather armor, apparently well prepared. In particular, the two weapons that shimmered with cold light were all plated with a layer of silver.
"Well, since you want to come, I won't stop you. Be clear ahead though, and if you're accidentally exposed, don't expect any rescue. "Henry was unhappy with the Shadow Thief's self-assertive behavior. If the person who came was not a legendary thief, he would have forcibly driven them away immediately.
Arcanis didn't seem to care about this vicious attitude at all, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "No problem! Whoever causes trouble will bear the consequences, which is very fair. ”
After reaching a verbal agreement, the two quickly descended into the underground along the dimly lit passage. He hadn't gone far before he could smell a strong smell of blood coming from the depths, and the occasional human wail or two of anguish or two. They looked at each other for a moment, and immediately quickened their pace, and after a few minutes they saw a scene of extreme cruelty and blood.
I saw a dozen naked girls hanging on the wall full of nails, and the blood slowly flowed down several grooves into a huge groove. In order to ensure the freshness of the blood, the vampire deliberately did not stab vital organs, and the victim could only endure the torture slowly, waiting for the blood to flow in before dying.
The bones of their bodies seemed to be crushed, except for the eyes full of fear, they could still move, and the other parts could only be slightly withdrawn, which looked very miserable.
"These girls are hopeless. Let's go, we'll get their revenge done. Arcanis gritted his teeth and reminded in a low voice.
Although he also kills people, he never tortures innocent people for fun. It is clear that the evil deeds of these vampires have angered the legendary thief, and he is about to taste the consequences of the harsh consequences.
Henry narrowed his eyes and nodded with anger: "That's right. These guys are dead. ”
After calming down a bit. The two avoided the newborn vampire guarding the staircase. Directly into the lowest level of the secret room. It was located directly below the nail room, and the blood from above slowly dripped down a funnel-shaped device into a large pool of blood, where a pale-skinned woman lay bathing. She had short dark blue hair, a slender and straight figure, and a dozen descendants stood quietly beside her.
There is no doubt that this is the divine vampire who calls himself Bardy II - Veran.
Seeing the goal of this operation, Arcanis pulled out his dagger without saying a word and began to approach little by little. But just as he was about to draw his weapon, he was held down by a hand.
"No, you can't get any closer. Otherwise, it would trigger an alert to the divinity within her. Henry explained why using sophisticated sign language. In fact, he doesn't have a very good grasp of this complex action language, and normally uses spells. But this time, it definitely won't work, because as soon as there is a magic fluctuation, Veran, who is bathing in blood, will immediately feel it.
"Damn! So what do you say? Arcanis asked in the same sign language.
Henry carefully observed his surroundings, and suddenly noticed the blood dripping from the top of his head, and a sneer crossed his face. He pointed to the holy water hanging from the sides of Arcanis' leather armor and said in sign language, "You go up there, pour all the holy water into the pool, and then create some chaos to draw attention." Not only does the holy water cleanse the blood of dark magic, but it also hinders the vampire's perception, so I have a chance to do it. ”
"Okay. Do as you say. Arcanis made one last sign language gesture last night, and immediately turned and disappeared into the shadows.
Just a few minutes later. Suddenly there was a scream down the stairs: "Ah!! Enter...... Invasion ......"
Although the last word could not be shouted, anyone who is not a fool knows what the last word is. One of the descendants immediately took two steps forward and asked cautiously, "Mistress, it seems that someone has intruded into our territory, do you need me to take someone to check it?" ”
Wei Lan lay in the pool of blood and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Go, it just so happens that the blood is a little insufficient, so let's supplement it with these intruders." Remember, wash it before putting it in the nail room, I hate those stinky adventurers. ”
"Do as you command." The descendant bowed respectfully, and instantly flew out with all the vampires in the form of a flock of bats. They didn't even notice Henry, who was hiding on the sidelines and waiting for an opportunity, because the cold temperature and stealth effect on his body perfectly concealed the breath of the living.
Tick!
Tick!
Tick!
At this moment, in this quiet room, except for the sound of blood dripping, it can be said that there is silence.
Henry did not rush to launch a sneak attack, but patiently waited for the blood containing holy water to slowly accumulate. Only when the content of the holy water in the blood pool reached a certain level, could he conceal the super strong perception from the divine nature and achieve the fatal effect of one blow.
The silence didn't last long, though, as soon as the sounds of a fight could be heard from above, and it seemed that Arcanis had managed to draw the attention of all the vampires, but it was not known how long he would last. After all, Legendary Thieves are not Legendary Warriors, they are looking for high-speed bursts in a short period of time, not non-human endurance.
As the saying goes, the more anxious you are, the slower time passes. Waiting for these few minutes seemed like hours to Henry, and the moment he found that the evil magical energy in the blood pool had been completely purified, he moved very decisively.
It wasn't magic, it wasn't spell fire, it wasn't the most proud instantaneous stop, but it rushed over at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, and swung the Demon Shatterer Mace in his hand that had just been killed by the upgraded undead creature in his hand, and smashed it down.
He knew very well that for divine creatures, time stopping was of no use at all, and spells and magic required a little preparation time anyway, and this preparation time was just enough for the other party to react, run away or dodge, so he chose the most direct and violent physical attack. Attempting to completely destroy Veran in one fell swoop with the powerful power of the weapon in his hand.
