Chapter 17: Mage Rasputin (3)
With the completion of Rasputin's spell, several golden lightning bolts fell from the sky and slammed the masked man's body, instantly turning him into a mass of charcoal. Then a golden flame rose at his feet, enveloping him in a ball of fire. This time, Ulysses and the others could clearly see that the body of the masked man was continuously turning into ashes and disappearing under the burning of the flame. This was the power of Hell Lightning Burst, a level-six combination magic. It first used a wide range of lightning magic to seal the opponent's actions, and then used high-powered fire magic to destroy the enemy. Under this magic, all creatures below level seven would be reduced to ashes.
The golden flame burned more and more vigorously, and the speed at which the masked man turned into ashes became faster and faster. You must know that the temperature of this golden flame was several times higher than the white flame just now, and it was at least tens of thousands of degrees.
A minute later, the whole body of the masked man was turned to flying ashes, leaving only the mask with holes and the half-meter-long short sword.
"We finally won!" Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts that were hanging in the throat finally came down. Although it took so much effort and so many people had died, this crazy killer was finally taken out. The power of this masked man was really too frightening, super-fast, extremely strong, abnormal defensive ability, and recovery ability. If he was not such a bloody killer, maybe he would be called a genius warrior! Judging from his revealed strength, he was a top-level level-six master who was only one step away from breaking through the limit of humans. Even the level six mage Rasputin who destroyed him may not be able to beat him in a one-on-one battle.
"Aya! Is that guy really dead!?" Ulysses was still a little worried. Just in case, he sent out a spiritual wave of inquiry to Aya.
"Yes, Master, the life signal of the masked man has completely disappeared. Just now, the magical attack power far exceeded his recovery limit. His recovery ability was destroyed before he could adapt to this attack." Ulysses felt relieved after hearing Aya's reply. Can't blame him for being so cautious, after all, the immortal body of the masked man left a deep impression in his mind.
All of sudden, a sound like water flowing appeared.
"Huh? Where does the sound of water come from?" The sudden sound of water made Ulysses confused. Here was the street in Taji City. The sea and river were several kilometers away. How could they hear such a loud sound of water?
The sound of the water grew louder and louder.
"Blood, blood on the ground is flowing!!" Kanka first discovered the source of the sound of water. When he shouted so, everyone immediately cast their eyes on the ground.
The blood, whether it was the blood that had shed on the ground, the blood still bleeding from the corpses, or even the blood that had been splashed on the roadside house, surged crazily at this time. The blood of hundreds of mercenaries who had died on this street pooled into a small river, rushing to a place frantically. That place was where the mask and short sword left by the killer were.
"What is happening! Aya, explain it! You said that the guy is completely dead!" Seeing the blood slowly forming the outline of a person, Ulysses couldn't believe his eyes. Could that killer be resurrected even after being burnt to ashes? In this case, how were they going to defeat him!
"Please wait, master, I'm analyzing it." Aya's answer was useless.
Without any orders, all warriors attacked the blood shadow that was forming with all their strength, trying to defeat it before it fully recovered. But what made them desperate was that the defensive ability of the killer who was about to be resurrected had increased several times.
The leader of the Wild Beast with the strongest attack power could only leave a one-centimeter deep wound on his body with a direct hit with his right hand, and the wound disappeared after three seconds. They could only watch the killer being resurrect in front of them.
Wearing the same mask full of holes, holding the same half-meter-long short sword, the killer reappeared in front of Ulysses in the same posture as before. The only difference from the previous one was that the whole body of the killer now was bloody red.
Everyone's eyes turned to mage Rasputin. Now, only he could give this killer a heavy blow.
Shockingly dense magic elements gathered around mage Rasputin. As soon as the crowd discovered that blood was flowing abnormally, he had already begun to prepare magic. It seemed that he had a lot of experience in dealing with unexpected situations.
"Oh, the lightning in the sky! Unleash your roar! Unleash your wrath! Destroy all the creatures in this world! Lightning Storm!" This time Rasputin used a level six lightning magic, but this magic was known for its attack range and duration. The attack power was not as good as the Hell Lightning Burst he had cast before. Why did he choose this magic? Didn't he know that only high-power attack magic could defeat this killer?
Hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky, forming a power web to tightly envelop the killer, making him unable to move at all.
"Hell Lightning Burst is already my strongest attack magic! Even it can't destroy this guy, so my other magic won't work. This lightning storm can trap him for about ten minutes. Run away now!" Rasputin was obviously tired after casting the lightning storm. After explaining to Ulysses and the others why he used the Lightning Storm, he immediately cast a magic "Lightning Foot" on himself and ran away without looking back.
Indeed, with Ulysses' and their current strength, it was impossible to defeat this killer with a terrifying immortal body. After smiling wryly at several group leaders, Ulysses also chose one direction and fled. Behind him, the others also chose different directions and fled.
'I don't know who the killer will chase after he got rid of his shackles,' Ulysses thought about this as he ran. 'Judging from the crazy actions of that killer, I am afraid that we will be hunted down by him, just like he hunted down Leon.'
"Master, I've finished analyzing the masked man!" Suddenly, Aya's voice rang in his mind.
"What is the result?" Ulysses was very curious about Aya's analysis.
"According to my judgment, the masked man himself is just a puppet. The main body of the killer is actually the mask and the sword. If you don't destroy the mask and the sword, they can use nearby creatures to create as a puppet indefinitely." Aya's words surprised Ulysses. 'So we have been fighting a mask and a sword all this time?'
But only this explanation could explain why the masked man had an immortal body that humans could not have. And the reason why Ulysses's Light Evil-Sealing Circle was ineffective was also revealed. The Light Evil-Sealing Circle, which had special effects on non-human creatures, would of course not react to a killer whose main body were inanimate objects.
At this moment, a black figure rushed out from the alley nearby, and slammed to the ground with a "thud". Ulysses took a closer look, and the figure was actually the mage Rasputin who had escaped first.
Watching the same scene as when Leon died seven days ago, Ulysses's heart slowly sank. Could it be... his eyes fixed on the exit of that dark alley.
As he expected, a blood-red figure was slowly walking out of the exit of the alley.
