Davao Mine Road (1)

With the understanding of human body structure, Victor easily found a heart symbolizing life in a bunch of warm organs. Just a light pinch, he ended Pa'an's life without much force.

Pulling back the left arm, the blue-silver flame "sky" ignited, wrapping the bloody part. The smell of blood and blood soon disappeared from its palms, as if it had never been stained.

The priest's corpse pounced forward and hit the hard rock ground, knocking the only safe face to the point of blood. He looked up and glanced at the sword spiders gathered around him. The invisible power emitted by the lich made them retreat one after another.

Animal keen senses are more likely to perceive danger than humans.

The giant spider monster with two legs broken did not attack easily, but kept moving the remaining six steps and making a harsh hiss. It seemed to be roaring, and it seemed to indicate that it was necessary to kill the invader entering its territory.

The silk cocoons hanging on the stalactites fell to the ground one after another, and what emerged from it was not the sword spider, but the human corpses with complete bodies.

puppet?

With the dark vision, Victor easily found the manipulation spider silk. It inserted the staff back to his waist, and a slight black light appeared on his pale fingertips, attacking the nearest corpse at a speed that was not urgently defended.

Under the power of the withered touch, the mummies quickly corrode and soon scattered into a pile of black gravel. The palm-sized creature crawled out of the gravel, bounced straight to Victor's face, and soon hit the invisible magic barrier, and was cut in half by the wind blade that followed.

Looking at the little spider monster that was not dead on the ground, Victor finally figured out how the corpses that had not become undead creatures were acting. The spider monsters parasitize their larvae in the body of prey, while eroding their vitality, and also resisting all the dangers they encounter when the larvae are in this way.

After glanced at the priest's body, a plan immediately arose in Victor's mind.

The death of the examiner will inevitably attract the attention of the Adventure Guild. This huge spider monster will be a good scapegoat. It is convincing enough from any perspective. It only uses magic to break the barrier of light, and there is no death energy on the corpse. Even if Pa'an's corpse is found, it will not point the suspicion at itself.

After making the decision, Victor's passage was retreated. He turned his wrist to use his finger to replace the knife, and the cut wind blade swept across the sword spider that was squeezed into the passage. Not long after, the entire mine channel was filled with disgusting and strange smells.

The advancement lich suddenly stopped and stared at the darkness ahead.

"Haha...you really surprised me."

Two figures appeared out of thin air in the passage that could no longer be described as silence - the dark elves hidden with special spells, and Vina, who was held in her hand as objects.

Bailer, who was originally full of confidence in himself, immediately removed the invisibility after a flash of red light in Victor's eyes. He was sure that the grand duke's illegitimate son had accurately captured his position, not only unconscious gaze scattered.

Dark Vision, as humans want to have this ability, there is only one possibility. Duke Mendel, it seems that you are destined to lose your eldest son whom you cannot publicly admit.

Victor just stared at the dark elves quietly, neither speaking nor using a tongue stick. As for Bailer, he looked it up and down with interest.

"If I go back like this, my owner will not be satisfied." Bailer spoke first and shook the human woman who couldn't move in her hand: "You don't want the poisonous snake lurking around you that always wants to bite, right?"

[I don't quite understand what you mean.]

Convinced that the other party had not noticed his true identity, Victor once again replaced the tongue stick with a staff. Although the light emitted by the crystal cannot be compared with the tongue stick, it is clear enough for the dark elves with dark vision.

"I can help you remove the fakes and her employer without charge." Bailer firmly believed that the grand duke's illegitimate child would not refuse.

[A very tempting proposal, but how do I know you won't bite back? As an illegitimate child, I have no expectations for my cold father. A high-ranking and powerful person will not sacrifice his reputation and future for a child without any help.] Unfortunately, Victor does not believe in the guarantees of the Dark Elves. As a dark clan, does not understand that promises and vows are never meaningful.

"You are too worried. I just want to do a better job of this task. No matter what decision the adult will make when he returns, at least I have not received the order to get rid of you now."

Victor did not reply immediately.

It is not because of the conspiracy of the dark elves. Although the skills of that clan are incompetent to ordinary people, they will not pose too much threat to themselves. What needs to be cautious is the purpose of the dark elves to visit Mivela Town this time. If Mendel does not want to admit his illegitimate son... no, he even wants to, and cannot admit it. The Notting Empire cannot afford to lose this face, and will not allow "Victor Wood" to live in the world.

Should the real Frost Wolf come to kill fakes with false names, or... to solve the problem that is enough to threaten his life for his owner?

If the former is the one, it doesn't matter if he cooperates. Even if the Frost Wolf does not kill the employer hidden behind the scenes, it will prepare to look for the other party's bad luck after the exam. If it is the latter, it will have to get rid of the dark elf immediately. Before he can pass some news that should not be revealed back to Jing Yao.

Thinking of this, Victor raised his staff.

"Bang!"

The dazzling white light shone the entire channel as bright as daylight.

Bailer, who was still waiting for the answer, froze on his face. While drawing the knife, he couldn't help but curse in his mother tongue. Vina was thrown out the moment the scimitar was unsheathed, and another intimate contact between her head and the ground made her hump.

The effect of the flash technique was fleeting, and the passage returned to its original darkness again. Neither Victor nor Baile moved, and were waiting for each other to reveal their flaws first.

"Sword...Sword Spider..." Feeling something approaching, Vina, who couldn't move, could only call for help in a faint voice.

"Huh!" With a sound of the ground, a wind blade swept across her scalp, brushing down several sword spiders trying to get closer. Feeling that the wind of the spell had crushed a lot of her hair, Vina was immediately scared and dared not speak. Bailer seized the opportunity and took advantage of the gap between Victor's attack, and slashed the direction of the wind blade with a quick and accurate knife.

"Clang!"

A slight spark flashed in the darkness, and Bailer's hand holding the knife tightened.

He failed, and he thought he would hit the hard rock wall. At the same time, a familiar aura enveloped the entire mine, containing evil and death, causing the dark elves to have an illusion, as if he had returned to his hometown after many years of separation.

"Go back and tell the old man that I have no interest in his property, title, and territory, and I don't want to recognize him as a father, a stranger he never met." Although the voice echoed in the air, I couldn't tell where it was. As the words ended, the pressure of breathing was dissipated.

Bailer took a deep breath and turned around.

There was no trace of young mage in the passage, only the human woman lying on the ground, her face full of horror. The brief confrontation with Victor made the dark elves firm up the idea of ​​staying.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

The rusty iron gate opened again after a night of fear. The candidates rushed to the exit, rushing to breathe fresh air. Although they were still on guard against each other, they no longer had their original hostility. After all, the second level has passed, and there will be no competition in the next three tests.

"Huh? Where is the invigilator?"

Someone shouted, and the candidates soon found that among the crowds that walked out of the mine, there was no priest wearing a white holy robe. The priests asked one by one, and they waited until noon, but they did not wait for the priest Pa'an. In desperation, they had to send a message to Mivira Town for help.

Three hours later, Buffy and Eric arrived at Davao Village. After asking for some details, the two entered the mine track to find the missing priest Pa'an. In the direction where the smell of blood came, they saw dead bodies cut into pieces.

“It seems that something is not good…”

Buffy recognized at a glance that the scattered corpse had suffered a strong blunt attack, which was consistent with the priest in terms of attack methods.

"Is the Dead..." Eric couldn't be sure.

"No. Absolutely not." Buffy is sure that this is not a masterpiece of the undead. As a follower of the God of Sun and Life, he has the strongest ability to disperse the undead and will never be defeated by ordinary zombies.

With his eyes wide open, the two were immediately attracted by the corpses of sword spiders all over the ground. Eric had also heard of the rumors of spider monsters in the mine, but due to the age of time and incomplete information, it could no longer be verified. After looking at Buffy, he pulled out his self-defense dagger and touched it into a passage full of pungent smell.

To their disappointment, except for the corpses of the sword spider along the way, there was no excitement to discover. Stepping on the corpses of the sword spider, the two soon arrived at the cave deep in the mine.

The giant spider monster is currently enjoying the most delicious meal in several years. As a priest, Pa'an has more energy than ordinary humans. Buffy made a gesture to Eric, indicating that he would attract the attention of the monster, and then took the opportunity to take Pa'an's body away.

"Che..."

The torch was lit, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark cave.

The spider monster moved its footsteps and looked at what was flying by. When it saw clearly that it was just a ball of flame, Buffy had already jumped onto its back. The spider monster, who was extremely irritated due to the injury, immediately turned back and tried to throw the guy who dared to attack him. Buffy, who had already expected it to act like this, jumped a little on his toes and jumped onto the nearby stalactites.

Taking advantage of the spider monster's distracting, Eric quietly touched him and grabbed the corpse that was discarded on the ground.

"Walk!"

Seeing his success, Buffy took out a crystal bottle from his arms and threw it at the giant spider monster chasing him.

Bang!

The thin bottle body could not withstand the fall, and the liquid splashed was very corrosive. The spider monster kept screaming and the foot trembling due to pain almost collapsed the passage.

"You have to contact the headquarters."

Walking out of the mine track and looking at the priest who had been sucked into a mummy in the bright spot, Buffy frowned.
Chapter completed!
