Act 60 Elements of Civilization V

The crystallized blood exuding a faint blue light shone on the snow not far away.

The elf girl in Nimesis' hands lowered her head as if dead, her slender shoulders trembling slightly.

In fact, the task of obtaining the crystallized blood is now over. But there is another problem. Brando is not sure whether the demonized crystallized blood counts. Moreover, the weirdness of this forest also aroused his curiosity. He knew that there were some hidden mission settings in the past "Amber Sword" game.

It's hard to say whether this one counts, but you won't suffer a loss if you give it a try.

He looked at the demonized crystal stag struggling on the ground, feeling a little confused. What happened to turn it into this state? As a creature that coexists with magic, the Crystal Stag rarely falls into obsession with dark magic.

And the strange thing is that the other party seems to be resisting the erosion of dark magic, which means that it is not actively corrupting. But how can a sensitive magical creature be infected by dark magic——

And that strange elf lady.

Brando took a step closer. "Anger and anxiety will amplify the dark side a thousand times. If you continue like this, you will only sink deeper and deeper. I can feel your struggle. Can you hear my words?"

The stag sprayed white gas from its nostrils and stared at Brando with blood-red eyes.

Brando was slightly startled. He was not a Druid and didn't know how to appease animals. He didn't even have any relevant experience in the previous life, which gave him a headache. This crystal stag seemed to have some sense, but was also manic and restless.

He didn't understand why it was so manic and restless. It didn't make sense. Even if the demonized creature was demonized, it would just become like the black wolves in the black forest, full of resentment and murderous intent towards civilization. This resentment was cold, not manic; but what he felt in Marocha was a kind of restlessness and anxiety, which seemed eager to drive them away.

He hesitated and tentatively put his hand on Marocha's neck.

But this is the time. A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the demonized crystal stag. It seemed that it had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and its head, which was originally so weak that it seemed unable to move, suddenly jerked.

The triple translucent ripples seemed to reach Brando's eyes in an instant.

His pupils shrank slightly - the fatal weakness on the back of the neck under the horns of the crystal stag did not apply to the demonized stag! He had just calculated the opponent's health, so he didn't have the slightest doubt when he saw Marocha fall.

But he didn't expect that the other party was also calculating him at the same time.

Brando's heart was pounding, and the threat of death made his brain work crazily a thousand times faster. At that moment, he suddenly realized that this demonized crystal stag probably understood the difference between its power and its ordinary kind!

"Damn it!" Brando cursed angrily in his heart, slashed at Malocha with a sword, and at the same time activated the Wind Queen Nine Lights and Flash in the opposite direction. "Recommended Baidu/Qi-Zi*xiao/Shuo/Net Reading" The demonized crystal stag howled and was flung away from where it was. The connection broke three crystallized trees of mist - but Brando was not good either. His figure faded layer by layer among the ripples of the sickle, but when he appeared again, there was a trace on his cheek. Bloody wounds.

The previous blow was still too close.

"You guy, don't think that my patience is infinite..." Brando muttered in his heart a little angrily. After all, the hidden mission is not as important as life. The previous blow had already made him feel deeply threatened. .

But he was only halfway through his words when he stopped.

He saw Marocha stand up unsteadily. The stag had a lingering wound on its neck and a broken leg. It seems that all its elemental power has now been used to suppress the erosion of darkness, which means that it is difficult for it to use its healing power.

But even so——

The crystal stag still staggered towards Brando and Nymesis. Magic lingers on its long horns, gathering power for its next attack.

It lowered its head, its red eyes flashed with angry flames, and its long horns were pointed at Brando.

Brando was in a daze. In "The Amber Sword", after traveling through time, he had experienced many battles, but he had never faced such a scene. The only time it was close was probably on the outskirts of Libao.

There was nothing but a wild beast in front of him. But he felt that he vaguely saw the white knight Alberton, who was half-kneeling on the ground with a sword, but still had a proud heart - this illusion was just in the body of a beast.

Those demonized creatures have no thoughts and only know how to kill. Pain, death, and fear cannot stop them from advancing. It's like the undead of Madara.

But Brando knew that this was not the case in front of him. It was struggling, not as a killing weapon, but as something he couldn't understand, supporting its battle.

But what exactly is——

"You want to protect this forest?"

The magic flames on Marocha's horns flickered.

"But we are not your enemies—"

The demonized crystal stag lowered his head. As if it hadn't heard his words, magic power gathered on its long horns, and that point was already flickering. In just the next moment, it can release its sickle horns.

But this actually means nothing to Brando.

With the opponent in this state, he only needed one sword strike to end the battle. Then he and Nymesis completed the mission and left here. The only regret was that they couldn't get the hidden mission.

But Brando put one hand on the sword and found that he was a little unable to do it.

Is completing tasks just for rewards?

It seems like it is, but it doesn't seem like it is.

"Speak, you bastard!"

"No..." He heard the cry of the elf girl, that always happy race, crying weakly and shouting to him: "Please let Master Marocha go..."

Brando felt hesitant in his heart. The concentration of magic on Marocha's horns had become more and more obvious. As long as it attacked, he had to fight back. The arrow was already on the string. If he didn't fight back, how could he easily take the crystallized blood?

"But damn it, it's not like I want to kill this damn thing."

This crystal stag has gone completely crazy.

But can it withstand the next attack?

"Answer my words!"

"Damn it, what's going on!" Brando couldn't help shouting: "Well, since this is your choice -"

He took a deep breath and raised his sword.

That just happened in an instant. Marocha's eyes were blood red, as if he could no longer feel anything around him. But it raised its head and tilted its neck.

This is a precursor to an attack.

"Lord Marocha!"

"Brando!" The elf girl and Nymesis shouted at the same time. But unlike the former, the female knight's eyes were always very calm. She looked at the crystal stag and reminded loudly: "The magic of the forest is concentrated at one point——"

"What?"

"Listen to me, all the magic that disappeared in this forest is concentrated on that stag!"

"What!" Brando almost opened his mouth at that moment. He saw the demonized crystal stag launching an attack. The triple ripples were like water ripples on a calm lake, passing through half of the forest in circles.

But he didn't even react. Three balls of blood exploded on him, and the light green data bar indicating health on the character panel suddenly dropped by half, turning into bright yellow indicating warning.

But Brando didn't pay attention to the criss-crossing wounds on his chest. He gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain. The fog in his mind seemed to finally be dispersing.

The answer is here——

It turns out that this is the key to the mission!

His figure had suddenly disappeared and appeared next to Marocha the next moment. The demonized crystal stag was completely unable to attack or defend. Brando raised the Sword of the Earth——

"Ah——" The fairy girl struggled manically. At this moment, her behavior was almost completely inconsistent with the nature of their clan.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard she struggled, she was still no match for Nimesis. The female knight just fixed her to the ground with two fingers calmly and calmly.

Brando turned the sword.

He slashed down with his sword and hit the back of the crystal stag's head hard with the sword spine. He showed no mercy this time, this damn beast had caused him too much trouble.

There was a muffled sound. Marocha fell in response.

But the demonized creature was as tenacious as Brando expected. Even after it fell to the ground, it still stared at Brando angrily with its blood-red eyes. It's just that there was a trace of cold murderous intent seeping into the blood red, which was quickly replaced by confusion - this meant that the erosion of dark magic power had reached the final moment.

"I ask you, has all the magic power of this forest been extracted by you-" Brando put the sword on Marocha's neck and asked.

To be honest, this scene is a bit funny. Rarely do you see a swordsman forcing a stag to answer a question with his sword.

But Brando's expression was very serious.

"Get out, human!"

The angry reply from the spiritual world was not what he expected.

At this time, Marocha's body was almost completely shrouded in black smoke. It was obvious that the previous battle had consumed too much of its strength. It has no power left to suppress the erosion of darkness. The penetration of dark magic is accelerating, and Brando's eyes are always changing when he sees it.

But he doesn't really need an answer anymore.

"Since you don't answer, I have to find the answer myself." Brando suddenly leaned down, held Marocha's neck, and then pointed his sword at the center of the back of his neck under his horns.

Down here. It is the magical core of the Crystal Stag.

With a slight exertion, the blade of the Earth Sword broke through the skin, and blue blood flowed out in a steady stream. At this time, Marocha actually made an angry sound, and then struggled manically.

But Brando was sure that it was not because of pain.

(PS: I mentioned it before. Tomorrow my nephew will be a hundred days old, and I have to go to my sister’s place, so I will only update 6,000 today. I will update 6,000 tomorrow. I will resume the 10,000 update the day after tomorrow.

In addition, the last chapter ended with Tiamat, the dragon of war. I was thinking about the subsequent settings and wrote them down at the same time. I will change them the day after tomorrow. The error in the wind element pool will also be corrected.

The third thing is, it is said that there will be double the amount this month, so if you have a monthly ticket, please save one. It’s also good to see how it performs next month and I’ll vote again. ) (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (The Amber Sword)
