The speed of other apprentices was slowed down by the monsters that leaked out from time to time. Angel's speed increased a bit because of this, but there was still a fog above his head, so he did not dare to go too fast.
After flying for almost half a minute, Angel suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood coming from above.
"Hurry and hide behind, the clone of the sickle-wielding blood demon has fallen!" Madeline's voice, with a heavy breath, reached Angel's ears.
Angel subconsciously followed Madeline's instructions and took a step back.
But as soon as he stepped back, he heard a warning sound from Toby. Angel turned around in confusion, only to see a fat and terrifying face behind him, holding two huge machetes.
Huo Huo faced him.
Angel was startled by the sudden appearance of this "person". The distance between them was not even more than one meter.
"Hey hey hey, my human meat pie is still a little short of ingredients, it smells so good, I want to chop you into pieces." A strange and floating voice came from the gaping bloody mouth of the person in front of him.
When this voice reached Angel's ears, Angel first thought it was Madeleine's voice, but soon it reminded him of Sanders, Nausicaa... and even Grea's voice.
It’s so fickle and hard to tell!
Obviously, he thought it was Madeline talking to him just now, but in fact it was not the case at all. It was this monster with a weird voice that was inducing him.
This is a fat man, holding a serrated machete in each hand, a huge iron pot wrapped around his back, and his body is covered with black chains. His ears are like pig ears, and they are as big as cattail fans.
He kept flapping his wings and let him fly.
While he was speaking, his machete was already slashing towards Angel quickly.
At this time, the distance between them was extremely close, and Angel wanted to retreat, but it was already too late. He calculated the trajectory of the machete in his mind, and after dodging a series of chops, he took advantage of the opportunity of his body misalignment to kick the fat man violently.
neck.
When he staggered, he turned over and retreated several meters away.
With the advantage of distance, there is no need to worry anymore.
Because Madeleine said before that the speed of recovering magic power in the abyss will be much slower, so he must learn to use it sparingly now.
When other apprentices encounter monsters, they all rush towards them. This energy consumption is actually very fast. In the abyss full of crises, it is very likely that the energy will be exhausted first, resulting in the death of the successors.
Therefore, he must consciously save power from the beginning.
Angel was thinking quickly in his mind about how to use the lowest energy consumption to defeat the opponent in front of him.
The speed of his thinking was extremely fast, and a series of coping methods were devised in a short period of time. However, what was faster than his thinking speed was Toby's actions.
Angel was within Fatty's attack range before, and Toby was a little helpless for a while. Now that Angel has distanced himself, how could Toby let him go?
While Angel was calculating the gains and losses, Toby had already chopped off both of the fat man's ears with his sharp claws at extremely fast speeds.
The fat man flew by relying on his ears. Now that he lost his ears, his eyes showed panic, he screamed, and he fell uncontrollably.
Toby came to Angel with a proud face to ask for credit.
Angel: "...Okay, you can be considered part of my combat power."
Angel was a bit dumbfounded. He obviously had the tactics in his mind almost ready, but he didn't expect that the battle would end so easily.
The first opponent he met in the abyss fell like this, and he probably had no chance of survival.
"Forget it, let's continue going up." It was impossible for Angel to go down below to confirm his life or death. Even if he was still alive, he would probably be killed by the apprentices below.
He continued to fly upward, and not long after, he suddenly felt light coming from above.
Just when he was confused, he discovered that he had unknowingly passed through the foggy area, and directly above him, he could already see the top of the sky-shaking boulder.
When he raised his head and looked up, his pupils shrank.
What was reflected in his eyes... was an architectural miracle that he could not describe in words!
On the top of the giant rock, an extremely majestic building stands in the hazy sky. Moreover, it is not just this giant rock, but the tops of dozens of nearby giant rocks are part of this building, connected by a looping sky bridge.
On!
You could say it's a city, but it doesn't look like it.
Because in Angel's eyes, this is actually a building. Although this building has many rooms, many towers, and many suspended bridges leading to various giant rocks.
But their overall style is the same, like a huge church-like castle standing on top of the clouds.
"It is indeed a miracle of wizard architecture!" Angel has seen too many wonderful buildings, including Sky Mechanical City, but none of them can give him such a big shock.
In the desolate, withered and dangerous abyss, wizards secretly built such a great stronghold city to protect the humans who came to the abyss, and this lasted for thousands of years.
Angel was inexplicably moved.
This is the Ember Earth Rock! This is the great wizard city!
The whole building exudes a faint golden light, illuminating the hazy sea of clouds. At a glance, people are reminded of the church that gives people hope, and it seems that they can vaguely hear the singing of nuns in their ears.
In a world of despair, the Ember Earth Rock originally gave people hope and light.
However, today's giant ash earth rock is stained with darkness and war.
The entire Ash Earth Rock is surrounded by densely packed abyss monsters. They are flying in the sky and fighting with the guards in the Ash Earth Rock.
From time to time, monsters hacked at the giant ash-earth rocks, and a large number of buildings collapsed under the attack. Countless bricks and stones, countless buildings and statues fell from the clouds.
This is a sad and despairing scene.
Not only Angel, more and more apprentices flew out from the mist below. When they saw the bloody ash-earth rock, everyone fell silent.
"The huge rock of embers has stood for thousands of years, but the light still has not illuminated the abyss. Darkness will eventually come."
I lamented that it was useless after all. Even if I defended the Ash Earth Rock this time, it still came to an end.
Angel slowly flew into the sky, and finally landed next to Madeline.
Directly in front of them was the Frost Moon Guards headed by Maher. Opposite them were a large number of abyss monsters. In the center of the monsters, Angel saw a humanoid monster that was obviously several times larger.
All the abyss monsters were on guard around the humanoid monster.
"That's the sickle-wielding blood demon. It looks very majestic, right?" Madeleine followed Angel's gaze and looked at the humanoid monster and said, "However, it is only a half-blood demon. It is a demon and an aborigine of the abyss.
The mixed-blood hybrid born from the union... I didn't mean to scold it, the devil's name for this kind of half-blood demon is hybrid."
Half-blood demons, not even junior demons, generally have very low strength. But even so, no matter how bad a half-blood demon is, they still have wizard-level strength.
It can be seen how powerful the demon of the abyss is!
The confrontation between humans and the abyss monsters did not last too long. Originally, the abyss monsters were crushing the giant ash earth rock, but now the Frost Moon Guards arrived in time, and their strength instantly surpassed the opponent's.
The two parties are on their own, and there is no possibility of negotiation at all, and they will go to war directly.
The battle ended quickly. In almost one breath, Snaifa used an unreasonable and terrifying force to snipe the sickle-wielding blood demon from a long distance. The sickle-wielding blood demon didn't even have time to react.
, and exploded into minced meat.
The group of dragons has no leader, and it is only a matter of time before the other monsters are wiped out.
None of the remaining monsters were higher than the wizard level. Therefore, the Frost Moon Guards consciously killed some of the weaker ones and gave them to other apprentices.
Angel had previously suffered from the lack of experience in fighting monsters from the abyss. At this time, he had a lot of opportunities.
In this killing that lasted for nearly six hours, Angel accumulated a lot of combat experience. Of course, this combat experience does not mean fighting style and awareness. He had already accumulated these experiences when he was in the wizarding world.
It means a lot; it refers to the precise control of one's own strength, using the least amount of force to achieve the maximum kill.
This is the precision of combat rhythm.
When the battle was over, Madeleine raised her eyebrows when she looked at Angel: "I thought people from the academy were used to starting with tricks. It seems I misunderstood you. That's right. After all, you are the apprentice of Lord Phantom.
, it’s normal for you to adapt so quickly.”
At this time, Angel still has at least 60% of the energy in the magic source.
In the entire battle, he only used illusions when he was besieged by a large number of monsters. The rest of the time, he hardly used magic, and at most used some level 0 magic for interference.
In addition, he uses a lot of alchemical weapons.
Although he does not have the bonus of hard strength like other bloodline sides, he is an alchemist, how can he not prepare his own weapons? The energy supply of these weapons is basically magic crystals, and what he lacks most is magic crystals.
Therefore, although he did not use many tricks, his killing speed and efficiency were far superior to his peers.
At least Madeline noticed that Angel's total number of monsters killed ranked at the top among all apprentices.
"If you can integrate a suitable bloodline, maybe your killing efficiency will be improved even more." Madeline smiled: "This is an abyss with countless monsters. If you need it, I can help you refine the bloodline.
;As for the price, how about a music box?"
Angel smiled and nodded his thanks to Madeline, but he did not mention that he had actually been integrated into the bloodline.
Madeleine turned back and looked at the huge ash earth rocks that were shining with golden light. In the past, these golden lights seemed to be bright and hopeful, but now... they have a touch of twilight desolation.
"Let's go back first. Something happened here. Shuangyue will have to spend at least some time to resolve the transfer issues." Madeline shook her head and sighed: "It's a pity that it may never be possible for Ash Earth Giant Rock to regain its glory."
Even though the battle was won, no one was too happy. Instead, they flew towards the scarred Ash Earth Rock with regret and sadness.
