Brain's pale green fluorescence faded as the Flame Archangel appeared.
The Emerald Witch canceled the Plant Growth spell, preventing the flames from spreading along the plants and causing secondary damage.
Without the plants as fuel, the flames were completely extinguished by the cold wind, revealing the three figures on the carriage.
"They blocked it?"
A Magic Caster on the left hill, seeing that his Fireball hadn't caused the destruction he'd imagined, changed his expression.
"Is it the effect of a Magic Item?"
"Fireball!"
Burning orange-red fireballs were released again, and at the same time, blue lightning burst out from the hillside on the right.
Lightning Strike! Two Third Tier attribute magics attacked the Evil Spirit Dog and the carriage respectively. Although the magic was simple, the targeted attacks immediately suppressed Tang Zheng's side.
Lightning Strike was a very fast penetrating magic that could suppress the Evil Spirit Dog, and the Fireball would explode upon contact with its target.
Anri, an ordinary person, was on the carriage, and the area-of-effect explosion could also restrain the actions of Tang Zheng and the others.
"Kill!"
"Slaughter these guys."
"We'll be rich!"
"Hahaha!"
"...!"
At the same time, the mercenary group members, numbering forty, who had rushed down from the hills on both sides, were already descending, suppressed by the two Magic Casters within the Spreading Death Sword Group.
Faced with this scene.
Even Anri had recovered from her daze, gripping her Short Sword tightly with her knuckles white, warily watching the mercenaries rushing towards them.
"Roar!"
The Evil Spirit Dog roared and quickly jumped away from its spot, its fierce beast eyes staring at the blue lightning flying towards it, and violently swung its head.
Whoosh—
The Bone Chain wrapped around its body shot out like a swimming snake.
Boom! The Bone Chain collided with the Lightning Strike in mid-air, emitting an ear-splitting roar. The blue lightning exploded, dimming the surrounding light.
The "Bone Chain" looked like a black metal Chain, but it was actually a very light and hard bone, so there was no conductivity.
Pfft—
Strands of white steam rose from the scalding red tip of the Bone Chain!
The Evil Spirit Dog's limbs landed from the air, sliding about two meters, pulling back the Bone Chain on its body and re-wrapping it around itself.
The Magic Caster who cast Lightning Strike widened his eyes: "How could this be!"
This was a Third Tier magic.
It was just a mere Evil Spirit Dog, it would have been fine if it had dodged, but it was actually able to withstand it! "Corruption Destruction!"
Boom!
A corrosive mass of liquid collided with the Fireball and exploded, the two forces canceling each other out.
On the other side.
Brain and Ficonpa, the group leader, who had been paying attention to the battle, both focused their gazes on the Evil Spirit Dog.
The green-haired girl, the Magic Caster, being able to easily block the Fireball attack was not unexpected.
But the Evil Spirit Dog being able to block Third Tier magic surprised them both.
"I remember the difficulty level of Demon Creatures like the Evil Spirit Dog is only between '40~45', right?"
Group leader Ficonpa was first surprised, then his expression turned ugly: "Third Tier magic is enough to kill it, but it was actually able to block it!"
The plan had gone wrong again and again.
Let Captain Ficonpa's expression become even more ferocious, his whole body exuding baleful aura.
First, the trap arrangement failed, and then the plan to kill the carriage-pulling Evil Spirit Dog, preventing Tang Zheng and his party from leaving easily, failed again.
"Heh."
"In the face of absolute strength, so-called plans and arrangements are just trash."
Brain lazily rested his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his brown eyes lingering briefly on the Evil Spirit Dog and the Emerald Witch before looking at his real target.
Even from a distance.
Although he couldn't clearly see the expression on Tang Zheng's face, Brain could still sense a sense of composure from the other man's figure.
"Haha, your words are as unpleasant as ever." Captain Ficonpa grinned, not the least bit angry.
Because the real trump card of the Spreading Death Sword Group was Brain himself.
On the road below.
Screams and painful wails began to gradually rise.
The Magic Casters on the small hills on both sides briefly suppressed the Evil Spirit Dog and the Emerald Witch by constantly releasing Magic.
But the suppression was clearly limited!
Faced with the mercenary group members wielding weapons and surrounding them from all directions, the Evil Spirit Dog and the Emerald Witch were still able to mount some resistance.
But with the advantage in numbers, many mercenaries soon broke through the defenses of the Evil Spirit Dog and the Emerald Witch, gradually approaching the carriage.
"Master," the Emerald Witch said, her eyes icy cold, her green hair rippling slightly.
She couldn't help but want to slaughter all the humans in front of her, but the Magic she specialized in didn't include area-of-effect attack Magic.
"There are really a lot of people; the advantage in numbers does have some effect." Tang Zheng glanced around and waved his palm at the Emerald Witch.
He knew that the Emerald Witch wanted the Mist Witch hidden within her to take action, but Tang Zheng waved his hand to stop her.
"Until now, the real protagonist hasn't appeared yet; are they trying to test me? Very well."
Tang Zheng pondered, his eyelids slightly raised.
"Second Tier Magic · Shockwave!"
"Quick Thrust!"
Among the approaching mercenaries, there was no shortage of experts. A Magic Caster deliberately dressed in black leather armor, like a Warrior, came to Tang Zheng's side and rear under the protection of several mercenaries and raised his hand to cast a Magic. At the same time!
A Thief also jumped out from behind, holding a Dagger in his hand, and stabbed towards him.
The two attacked from the front and back, and dealing with either one would inevitably leave him open to the other's attack.
Anri's pupils contracted, and she rushed forward without hesitation, blocking Tang Zheng's path: "Captain!"
Bang! Bang! Suddenly, two dazzling white lights appeared in the field, condensing into two sacred figures in mid-air.
Flame Archangels! One Flame Archangel waved the Flame Sword in its hand and slashed at the Shockwave, blocking the attack.
Clang! The other Flame Archangel easily blocked the Thief. The Thief's Dagger stabbed the Flame Archangel's silver-white armor, leaving not even a white mark.
The Thief looked at the Flame Archangel that had appeared out of nowhere with a terrified expression.
Puchi!
The Flame Sword stabbed out, piercing the Thief's chest.
"Ah!!" The Thief screamed, then stopped abruptly.
The Flame Archangel raised its arm and lifted the sword, the flame-covered blade cutting through the Thief as easily as cutting tofu, slicing him in two.
Two Flame Archangels, their entire bodies emitting a faint white light, floated beside Tang Zheng, causing the originally excited mercenaries to freeze.
The air fell silent at that moment.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The two Flame Archangels vibrated their wings and instantly rushed out, like wolves entering a flock of sheep. Each time the Flame Sword fell, a mercenary's life was taken.
Terrified screams broke the brief silence!
The Flame Archangels, with their high levels (21Lv), were simply not something these ordinary mercenaries could deal with.
At the top of a small hill not far away.
Bang! Ficonpa, the leader, took a step back, his foot stepping on a piece of gravel. His originally ferocious face showed fear: "That is... an Angel Summoning Demon Creature, and it can summon two at once."
"Withdraw, retreat..."
No wonder the Mithril Rank adventurer team "Rainbow" was completely annihilated.
Damn it!
That Genius Alchemist actually has such methods, such a team...
Damn Adventurer's Guild! "Bastard."
Leader Ficonpa took another step back, a retreat forming in his mind. The strength displayed by those two Flame Archangels was truly terrifying.
He had just noticed that five or six people attacking together couldn't inflict effective damage on the Flame Archangel Demon Creature, but were easily killed instead.
These mercenary members are not useless.
Even if Leader Ficonpa didn't care about the casualties of his subordinates, he knew that facing such a powerful enemy, numbers were no longer an advantage.
Demon Creature Evil Spirit Dogs whose strength far exceeded normal Evil Spirit Dogs! A green-haired girl who is a Third Tier Magic Caster.
A Genius Alchemist who can summon two Third Tier Angel Demon Creatures.
Such a strong team, unless they have the same level of strong individuals, it is impossible to fight against them with a numerical advantage of ordinary people.
Even if they could win in the end, few members of the Spreading Death Sword Group would survive, let alone keep the Empire's reward.
Leader Ficonpa briefly analyzed the pros and cons and made the most correct choice at the moment, roaring with a distorted face: "Everyone, retreat..."
Slap! A wide, rough hand pressed on Leader Ficonpa's shoulder, forcibly interrupting him.
"Don't be so anxious, leader."
Brain twisted his tight neck, his original lazy appearance swept away, his eyes looking at the bottom with fiery passion.
So, the ability is to summon angels.
Finally, the information is clear! The reason for this Genius Alchemist's great reputation, besides the Empire's high reward, is that he has created a method of using Demi-human blood to refine potions.
Brain is not interested in making potions at all.
But he knows that being able to refine potions with Demi-human blood not only requires superb alchemy skills, but also a certain amount of strength.
Otherwise, Demi-human blood is not so easy to obtain.
The keen intuition of a Warrior.
Allows him to perceive the strength of the two Flame Archangels, to the point that even he needs to take them seriously.
A specialized summoning Magic Caster, this is the first time he has encountered one! Brain is already boiling with excitement.
After experiencing the failure with Gazef, he craves to fight any type of strong person. Only by satisfying his thirst for battle can he become stronger.
"I don't care about anything else, restrain that green-haired Magic Caster." Brain's brown eyes stared at Leader Ficonpa, and he spoke calmly.
Leader Ficonpa only felt a chill in his body and quickly responded: "Okay!"
"Tch."
Brain spat out the toothpick he was holding in his mouth and walked step by step down the slope of the small hill towards the road below.
Although he looks sloppy and lazy, as he takes steps, his temperament begins to undergo a noticeable change.
Like an awakened beast, finally beginning to hunt its prey! Around the empty road, a large number of corpses of mercenary members lay on the ground, only a dozen of the 40 or so remaining huddled together, barely holding on.
The screams and the smell of blood pouring in the air appeared clearly in Brain's perception.
However, at this moment! Brain looked at the scene in front of him, and a boring thought suddenly popped into his mind: "The gap is really obvious, so obvious that it's a bit incongruous."
Clearly, they were the ones who ambushed, and they were also the ones with the most numbers, but the result was that they were retreating steadily, looking like they were about to be defeated at any moment.
For most people, this is indeed a very incongruous scene, but in Brain's eyes, it feels perfectly normal.
Because this is reality! The reason why it feels incongruous and unbelievable is that ordinary people cannot understand this kind of power.
Most people have no talent. Even the adventurers and experts who are considered powerful in the eyes of ordinary people are just ordinary people who know some martial arts in Brain's eyes.
Only someone who has reached his level can truly understand the difference.
"It's Mr. Brain!"
"We're saved!"
With Brain's appearance, the mercenaries who had been plunged into despair had their eyes light up with renewed hope.
Brain? In the carriage, Tang Zheng's eyes flashed as he noticed the disheveled figure with blue hair.
"So, these people are from the Spreading Death Sword Group."
Tang Zheng finally understood the origin of the attackers: "An unexpected reunion."
He couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
Tang Zheng remembered the last time he saw him was on the stage of the Royal Tournament.
At that time, he was sitting on the outermost edge of the stands, marveling at the fighting skills of Gazef and Brain, unable to even see their movements clearly.
Now—
"Let me see how much you've grown in more than half a year."
Step! Step! Seeing the mercenaries gathering towards him after his appearance, Brain frowned, and said coldly, "You guys, get out of my way!"
Hmm! As soon as Brain finished speaking, his eyebrows twitched, and the hand gripping the sword hilt instantly drew it.
Bang—
A heavy impact exploded in mid-air.
"Hey, hey, didn't anyone tell you not to interrupt when others are talking?"
Brain pressed down on the sword hilt with one hand, his sharp eyes fixed on the front: "Forgot, you're just a beast."
The cold gleaming blade constantly rubbed against the Bone Chain, making a harsh "creak, creak" sound.
"Roar!"
The Evil Spirit Dog roared, manipulating the Bone Chain in a bend in mid-air, bypassing the blade and whipping it fiercely.
Faced with the Bone Chain that was swinging and changing in mid-air, making it difficult to easily observe the attack route.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Brain's eyes just rolled in their sockets, waving his hand, and the long sword and Bone Chain kept intersecting and colliding!
The dazzling offensive caused the surviving mercenaries to exclaim and roar with excitement.
