"Do we really deserve to be this point, Lord Marcus?" they thought, "I didn't expect that he was obviously a mage, but he actually had the heart of a warrior! Heaven is on the left, and the warrior is on the right, he is too brave! He is too fearless!"

In the midst of the swarming gnolls, Duke only had time to unleash a single [Flame Burst] before he fell......

Next, the mercenaries began to feel extremely weird.

Duke stood up again......

"Hogg **** your uncle!"

One shot of [Flame Burst Technique]!

Duke fell again...... This time, Duke was directly split into two pieces by an axe - split into corpses!

Duke ...... again Got up again......

"I'll kill you gnolls for eighteen generations!"

Over and over...... In Hogg's fierce return fire, Duke fell again and again, and stood up intact again and again, doing nothing but scolding and scolding Hogg with a large fireball in his face.

Even a fool can see that despite Hogg's bravery, despite his tenacious vitality, the flame on Hogg has never been extinguished, and it is burning bigger and bigger.

Hogg's injuries were accumulating.

Its roar is not so loud. Its gnolls weren't so quick to respond to its orders. Even its movements seemed sluggish.

Even if it loses a lot of its sanity because of something, it realizes that something is wrong with it.

Gradually, Duke could put a [Flame Burst Technique] first, and then make up an instant [Flame Burst Technique], and finally be shot to death.

All the tears in the tear ducts of all the mercenaries were drained...... They felt as if they had been tricked by the mysterious young mage, and they didn't.

After all, Duke let them run in the first place.

Duke fought to the death, didn't he want to keep them a burden?

As a mage with so many life-saving skills, it shouldn't be a problem for him to run away alone, right?

Even if Duke fell tragically every time, the vigorous performance of his rebirth after the fire was enough to become a topic of conversation in the tavern after their tea and dinner. But they noticed something unusual.

The ordinary gnolls had long since dispersed, and they all hid far away, watching in awe as their boss fought with an unbeatable Duke.

Over there, Makaro solemnly instructed his subordinates: "What we see today, we can't spit out half a word even if we go to hell...... If I'm not mistaken, this should involve a very, very important secret of His Excellency Duke Marcus. If we're lucky, we'll be Marcus's retainers for the rest of our lives. ”

Everyone shuddered and nodded in unison.

Such a strange ability is absolutely unheard of. Are there still fewer guys who overheard the secrets of the big people and were killed?

It's a great thing to be able to sell yourself without being killed.

On the other side, under the accumulation of injuries, Hogg's life force was about to burn out.

"Demon Light Cannon—" Duke shouted at the name of his incomprehensible move, and with a step that was not very agile, he stepped on the crook of Hogg's left arm that hung to the ground, stepped on Hogg's shoulder, and then plunged two fingers into Hogg's eye socket with great force.

Zero-distance instantaneous [Flame Burst Technique]!

"Whoa-" Unlike the high-spirited howl at the beginning, the last tragic cry contained too much of Hogg's unwillingness and resentment.

The screaming stopped abruptly only halfway through, as Hogg's entire huge head was filled with flames that were expanding at a high rate within.

A second later, the back of Hogg's massive head exploded backwards like a crumbling watermelon.

The gnolls, who were watching the battle from afar, were immediately frightened and fled in all directions.

Standing proudly on the huge chest of Hogg's fallen body, Duke bathed in a bloody storm of blood, did not have much sense of accomplishment.

In the pre-Duke game, Hogg was just an eleventh level 11 monster, and even with the amazing nickname of a budding killer, it was just an inconspicuous little monster after all.

Unexpectedly, in order to kill Hogg once, he actually paid 11 resurrections.

As soon as he thought of this, Duke felt a sense of despair that made a dog scream.

However, Duke, who only had time to read the system prompt at this moment, was suddenly stunned.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully killing the demonic elite monster [Hogg]! You have successfully thwarted the murder of one of Sargeras's demons against you. Because [Hogg] contains a small amount of demonic aura in his body, if you give the rest of his head to a certain cleric in Stormwind City, there may be an unexpected reward. ”

"You've got the blueprints for the [Skinning Battle Axe] that even low-intelligence creatures can do. ”

"As a result of your successful killing of Hogg, the monster that killed you 11 times, your humanity is restored in small amounts. Your current soul power is 87, your discipline is 72%, and your current rank is a fifth-rank earth mage!"

After reading it, Duke almost jumped up and asked the system elf in the spirit world on the spot.

"Hey, what the hell is this? Why am I only 72% of my temperance left!?"

"Because it was a demonic creature that killed you, as the demon that is most likely to corrupt the human soul, it will have an additional bonus effect on your kill. In a word, if you are killed by a demon or a demon, your festival will fall faster!"

Duke almost choked on his own saliva.

Lao Tzu hates the devil the most!

Before they knew it, Duke's still hideous facial expression frightened Macaro and them.

Remembering what Macarro had said, they followed Macaro to their knees in front of Hogg's huge corpse in fear, bowing their heads so that they didn't even dare to look up at Duke above.

Macaro spoke: "Thank you, Lord Marcus, for saving us and others." We have nothing to repay, and we hope to use our lives to contribute to the great cause of His Excellency Marcus. ”

"Oh?" Duke suddenly became a little interested when he was awakened by the sound of speech, "Why?"

Originally, Duke asked why Macaro would say such a thing. When Macaro saw Duke who was murderous at the moment, he obviously misunderstood, thinking that Duke asked them why they let them go?

"We ...... We're grateful that you saved us, but we see your immortal secret, Lord Marcus...... We don't want to die yet, so we're willing to serve you for the rest of our lives. ”

Duke was stunned, and for some reason, he remembered how Aurelia had brainstormed her own when she had been smashed for the first time. Duke suddenly burst out laughing.

"Thank you for your loyalty to me......"

When Duke said this, it was obvious that they were all relieved to see Macarro, and it was the expression of walking around the gates of hell.

Duke's next sentence immediately made their hearts hang in their throats again.

"But I can't accept your allegiance for that reason!"

Macarol was in a hurry: "Your Excellency Marcus, we ......"

Duke raised his palm to stop Macarro, and he came to Macarro, picked up Makaro's sword, and wiped it from his neck.

"Huh!?" the mercenaries exclaimed at the same time.

They saw blood from Duke's neck at such close range, and then he fell to the ground...... Hung up!

"Oh my God, what did Lord Marcus do?"

Before they could finish their surprise, Duke's corpse suddenly turned into a faint streamer and disappeared. There was hardly any transition, and Duke stood intact less than two steps next to the corpse.

"See? It's just magic. To be precise, it's my family's ancestral [Mirror Clone] talent! Each mage family has its own heritage, some are good at elemental magic, and some are good at arcane. I'm just a descendant of a family of declining mages. It's not a shocking secret that you have to kill people to keep secrets. Of course, that's one of my cards, and I don't want you to talk about it all over the place. ”

Duke explained this, which made every mercenary really relax in their hearts.

Ah, it turned out to be mysterious magic! We civilians who don't know magic have seen it for a long time.

Seeing their laughter, Duke felt a pang in his heart.

What a special master, I'm pretending to be forced!
