Chapter 76 Fight like a mortal

   Joshua led his younger sister, who was not yet ten years old, and stumbled across the fields.

   There was an extremely ferocious bite mark on his right arm, and blood soaked the entire sleeve. The cross-section of the bite mark was very irregular, and it did not look like it was injured by a creature with sharp teeth such as a beast.

  The two ran on the seedlings that had turned gray due to blight, and a burst of scattered ash was raised along the way.

   "Brother, are you still bleeding..."

   His sister asked worriedly.

About an hour ago, in order to save his sister from the monster who was no longer his master blacksmith, Joshua was violently stabbed from his arm by the swollen walking corpse covered with mycelium and mildew. He took a big bite of blood.

   And he also took the opportunity to insert the red-hot iron from the forge into the monster's eye socket, and the monster's head was ignited from the inside, making a crackling sound like a burning fern.

   Immediately, he kicked the stove over, and took advantage of the spreading fire to pull up the frightened sister and ran out.

  The town was filled with mournful screams and sticky, wet moans.

   Countless corpses with swollen bodies, dragging their feet, covered with mildew and mycelium, rounded up the surviving residents under the command of a group of eccentric men in brown-red robes and strange pointed hats. He took his sister to hide in the shadows with bated breath, and took advantage of the chance that the walking corpses were attracted to the Holy Spirit Church in the town center, and slipped out from the path in the field.

   "It's stopped long ago, you save some energy and don't talk."

   Joshua said, turned his head a little uneasy and glanced at the wound on his right arm, and then his heart sank all of a sudden.

Mycelium like some kind of white hair is growing slowly, the air-exposed flesh and blood on his wound seems to have turned into some kind of fertile soil to nourish them, and the intact skin around the wound also begins to spread blue-black. mildew.

   From the moment Joshua was bitten, he began to feel that something was wrong. The pain of being bitten only lasted for a short moment, and then it turned into a strange itching sensation. He felt as if something spread into his own flesh and blood along the wound, took root, and then grew.

   Gradually, a strange hunger is emerging.

   This made him swallow saliva involuntarily when talking to his sister.

  Recalling the corpses that were swollen and covered with mycelium and mildew, Joshua gritted his teeth and stopped.

   "Brother, what's wrong? Is this place safe?"

   The sister who stopped suddenly gasped for a while, and asked strangely when her breathing had calmed down.

   "No, I just suddenly remembered that there is a thorn black guard's post over there. There must be a military doctor there who can help me deal with the wound first."

   He said and pointed to the other end of the field, and the girl instantly became overjoyed.

   "Okay, then we'll go there now."

  Joshua shook his head and said:

   "No, now we don't have time to delay, we have to go to the city of thorns to inform the lord of what happened in Hongquan Town."

"so what should I do now?"

   Sister asked anxiously, the city of thorns is still more than 70 to 80 kilometers away from here, and it usually takes a while for them to go to the city of thorns to buy things by carriage.

  Joshua tried to make his expression as natural as possible and said:

   "So the best way now is for me to go to the sentry to treat the wound first, and you go to the city of thorns, so that there will be no delay."

"but…"

"If you keep walking along this road, you can go to the City of Thorns. You should remember what you've been to before, right? Don't worry, I'll come to you as soon as the wound is treated. Just wait for me at the door of the shop that bought the iron ingots."

   Joshua didn't give the girl a chance to think. He gently patted the girl's head with his intact hand and smiled at her.

  The girl hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.

   "Let's go, don't delay."

   After finishing speaking, Joshua turned around and ran to the other side of the field quickly, while his sister watched his back tangled for a while before spreading her legs and running along the road towards the City of Thorns.

   In the direction Joshua said, there was naturally no thorny Black Guard post, and he stopped after running for about a kilometer.

   When he turned back and saw that his sister on the road had turned into a black spot, he really felt relieved.

   leaned against the pile of weeds on the field ridge and sat down, he let out a long sigh of relief.

   The itching sensation has spread to the entire right arm, and a small part of the white mycelium has gradually bloomed into a gorgeous crown. Although he doesn't know when he will become a disgusting walking corpse like those townspeople, since he doesn't know how to stop it, he just plans to take a good rest now.

   Leaning on the fluffy pile of weeds, Joshua quickly fell asleep.

   After an unknown amount of time, he was woken up by a sticky sound.

   "I thought you would run farther."

   I had seen the man in the town wearing a brown-red robe and a strange pointed hat standing in front of him.

   Seeing him wake up, the man grinned open his mouth covered with festering scars and showed a malicious smile.

  Joshua looked around, there were about forty or fifty walking corpses wandering around, and all the directions he might run out of were blocked.

   But even without these obstacles, there is no need for him to run. After waking up this time, his entire right arm was completely festered, and countless fungi grew out of the festering scars, covering his arm layer by layer like some kind of shell.

   But the strange thing is that his consciousness is still very clear at the moment.

   "I'm so lucky. I didn't expect that in such a small town, I could find two hosts who can carry the corrupt blessings of the rotten lady."

Host? alone?

   Joshua thought uneasily.

  Although he didn't know what the rotten lady or the corruption blessing was, since the other party surrounded him with so many monsters and didn't kill him, he certainly didn't want to show mercy.

  Fortunately, he let his sister go first.

   "Come to me, Blessed One."

The man said, with a buzzing sound that made Joshua dizzy, an "armor man" with fly wings on his back, maggots crawling in his eye sockets, and his whole body wrapped in the crawling sticky biomass armor ' landed next to him.

   A dark green complex imprinted on the monster's chest, shimmering like life.

   Just looking at that monster made Joshua feel sick to his stomach.

   "Isn't it beautiful? You will be this perfect after receiving the blessing."

   The man in the reddish-brown robe squatted beside him, looked at Joshua who was about to vomit and said excitedly:

   "Abandon the mortal body, embrace the power of the moon, and completely complete the sublimation of life. You may not get used to it at first, but then you will definitely understand what kind of compassion this is..."

   The man opened his palm as he spoke, and the same complex dark green mark appeared in the air.

   The mark slowly floated towards his chest in Joshua's horrified eyes.

"Do not!"

   "Feel this..."

   "Sigh..."

   What he wants Joshua to feel is destined to be unknown.

  Because of the half of his remaining words, a bright silver crossbow arrow stuck in his throat forever.

  …

   "I'll be in charge of remote support here."

   An arrow pierced the throat of the swollen church priest, Nezemar said lightly to Cass behind him.

   Hearing this sentence, Cass had a very strange expression on his face.

   After all, the last time he heard this voice say these words, the other party was still a moon monster wearing a Nezemar skin, and soon after that, he brought him an unforgettable nightmare memory in his life.

   And Nezemar, who had no memory of it at all, continued:

   "In an emergency, I will use [Storm Buff] to strengthen the arrows to reinforce you, if..."

   "Okay, okay...don't worry, I can solve it."

   Hearing the familiar words, Cass quickly interrupted her behind while pulling out the sword behind her.

   Cass glanced at Liz who was sitting on his shoulder. The witch consciously jumped down and flew to William's side with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

   But this is the only condition that Cass promised to bring Liz out. In any battle, she must stay in the safest place honestly.

   "This is considered an actual combat training, remember to control the scale of strength to the level of the master's field."

   William on the side reminded.

   This time, William didn't plan to take action. A group of bloated corpses and a blessed one were just handed over to Cass for practical training. By the way, you can also see the results of his training in the meditation room some time ago.

  Kas nodded, stepped forward with a sword, a flash of light flashed, and he instantly appeared dozens of meters away.

   His movements looked like he was running, but every step he ran was a flash of dozens of meters. But after running seven or eight steps, he had already appeared beside Joshua.

   At this moment, the Blessed One was raising the flame-shaped broadsword in his hand, intending to sever the neck of the young man, and the Judgment Four in Cass's hand just cut through the space and flashed in front of the broadsword.

   "Dang" and the fourth block of the knife was blocked.

   The Blessed One's head turned to Cass, and it didn't seem to be aware of the other's existence until this moment.

  Cass's arm muscles bulged, and thunder and lightning the thickness of his thumb climbed up the blade like a snake. A thunderstorm instantly exploded where the blades of the two sides met, and the violent shock wave blew the blessed person out.

   And Joshua, who closed his eyes under the blade, felt that he heard two thunders.

The first sound of    exploded right next to his ear, almost deafening his ears, while the second sound seemed to come from a distance, with a rumbling echo.

   After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and found that the surrounding scenery had changed for some reason. The tall swordsman who had just helped him block the slash was hugging him and was explaining something to a man in a brown robe.

   "I'm sorry, Sir William, the situation is urgent, I just didn't have time to guide the power with movements as you said."

   "It doesn't matter, saving people is important, but in the future this situation should be avoided as much as possible."

  The swordsman nodded gratefully, then put Joshua down and said:

   "Don't worry little guy, it's safe now."

   After he finished speaking, he took his sword and stepped forward, and disappeared again, leaving only an afterimage flashing with electric light.

   Joshua looked in the direction that the swordsman ran out, and at a glance, he saw the pile of weeds where he was resting a few hundred meters away.

   So the two thunders I heard just now were actually one? Did that swordsman bring him here in an instant?

   Before Joshua could think about how the other party did it, a familiar voice suddenly brought his thoughts back to reality.

"elder brother!"

  Joshua turned around, his sister burst into his arms with tears and snot from crying.

   "Woooooo... I thought I would never see you again."

   "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here..."

   Joshua comforted his sister while patting his uninjured hand on the back.

   After seeing this scene, Nezemar subconsciously frowned.

   After hesitating for a while, she put down the bursting crossbow in her hand and got up and walked over to the pair of siblings.

   For the battle not far away, the long-range support of crossbow arrows is actually not even necessary.

   "Stop hugging, your brother has severe swelling and infection."

  Nezmael said coldly, and then she directly pulled the girl out of Joshua's arms.

   Then, ignoring the girl's staring at her, she gently chanted the incantation, and the faint green light of the [Healing Hand] lit up on her hand.

  …

   "Using human action to channel the power of authority is the most effective way to combat the reverberation of mythology on the mind."

   Cass, who flashed step by step, recalled the words William taught him during training.

  As the one who holds the authority of the God King Oka, Cass doesn't need such trouble to rush over to fight the monster. He can even stand on the field ridge and directly use a look to attract the thunder in the sky to kill the opponent.

   As if he had sent the boy to a safe place in an instant, like this short-distance tearing space flashed, he could do it with a single thought.

   But William would not allow him to do so.

"For mortals, an idea must be realized through action. Even a magic caster needs to construct spells to guide magic to accomplish miracles. If you are accustomed to using one look and one thought, the problem can be solved. If you do, your spirit will subtly resonate with Oka, the **** king in the black water mythology, and eventually get lost in authority, gradually lose your personality and become a disaster."

   "Then what should I do?"

   Cass asked during training.

   "Fight like a mortal, how you fought before you gained power, and how you fight afterwards."

   William replied.

   "I don't understand, do you mean to let me give up using that power?"

"Of course not, but you can't regard this authority as a part of yourself, but as an external force, like a sword in your hand and an armor on your body. Use your actions to guide authority, not with Your thoughts guide. Only then can you truly tame this arrogant force."

Authority often requires a lot of self-imposed restrictions to keep users from getting lost. In the golden calendar, such extraordinary people are called "oath-bound ones", and they will even make oaths that can make them die instantly to restrain their arrogance. .

   So he needs to have the action of running, and then shorten the process through authority. That's why he needs to wrap the sword with thunder first, and then use that sword to meet the enemy.

   One can directly reach the goal with only thoughts, that is the realm of God.

   That was too arrogant and too boring.

  It is the mortal who learns how to get around the long way.

  As he took the last step, Cass flashed in front of the Blessed One, the judgment in his hand was full of thunder, and a heavy sword stabbed the opponent's throat.

   The other party opened his mouth as expected, and countless flies flew out of his mouth. From a distance, it seemed to be spraying a thick black mist with a "humming" sound.

   Cass was instantly submerged in the endless black mist.

   Liz, who had been watching the battle not far away, let out a loud scream, and then she looked at William nervously.

  William also sighed.

   "Tsk, still can't control it?"

   As soon as his voice fell, a few silver lightning flashes faintly appeared in the black fly mist, and then became more and more dazzling, and finally became a level of brilliance that made people have to turn their eyes away.

  The flying flies were instantly turned into powder in the dazzling thunder, and then the blessed one became a charred skeleton in the dance of the thunder.

   Then the lightning bolts spread out into a dense net of lightning, and the dozens of swollen corpses around them were all turned into coke and fell to the ground.

After the    thunder net dissipated, only Cass was left standing there, and a large circle of land with him at the center turned into broken scorched earth.

   The sword in his hand was stuck on the ground.
