Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

The moment they fell into darkness, the three fleeing people couldn't help feeling frightened, but soon, another light lit up around them, forming three independent rings, and directly surrounded them.

Such a sudden change caused the three of them to subconsciously stop running and almost fell to the ground. However, it was obvious that the balance brought by the extraordinary ability allowed them to quickly stabilize their bodies and did not dare to jump out of this path. Bright range.

Although they could escape from it as long as they lifted their legs, during the delay of such a pause, the monster behind them had already caught up, and it was too late to regain the distance.

But what about that figure who doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe?

Veronica, a woman wearing a bright red "iron coat", turned her head and subconsciously looked in the direction where the monster's footsteps came from. This was originally just a reaction out of her fighting habit - always keep an eye on where your enemy is.

But what she saw was another figure walking forward like a ghost. She subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to remind her that the monster on the other side was very dangerous, but she quickly realized that the other person was not necessarily "aid", but could also be... enemy.

So Veronica bit her lip and said nothing, just silently holding the sword in her hand.

The style of the long sword was similar to the one Esther picked up earlier, but it was just a poor imitation without extraordinary characteristics and had no power other than physical attacks.

The figure seemed to know what Veronica was thinking, and even turned back leisurely, showing a comforting smile.

No, she was also observing the sword in my hand? Because she's holding the same sword, but if it's Gulick's sword, it's different from mine, it's real...

The burning flame lit up from the hilt of the sword, licking Esther's palm docilely, but did not harm her at all. The jumping firelight illuminated her face, but an even brighter light came from between her hair. Jumped out and began to fly chaotically in the air.

Esther also saw things running toward her in the darkness:

It was a monster with a wide mouth and several small tentacles crawling on its sides. It was half a meter taller than the heavy dump trucks she remembered. Its body moves forward quickly through the slender beards that extend out. Those tentacles fall to the ground alternately to support the huge body. The movements are so agile and fast that it makes people's scalp numb.

Facing Esther was a huge black hole that occupied the entire head of the monster. On the inner wall of the mouthparts were circles of sharp teeth that were constantly squeezing each other, trying to squeeze in anything that could be torn apart. It can be said that there is basically nothing inside the structure of this monster's head except for the densely packed teeth that make people dizzy.

Its body didn't look hard, with layers of gray-black soft skin accumulated. Esther didn't notice the eyes, but she saw a circle of small black mouths that were constantly moving outside the skin.

While the monster was running with its ridiculous short legs, the sound of surging air was constantly heard from those holes. The monster seemed to rely most on the sense of smell of breathing to capture any nearby "food" that could be torn apart with its fangs. "the taste of.

And with its running momentum, even if the instinctive sense of crisis caused doubts in its mind, it was already too late to avoid the weird person opposite.

After Esther observed the monster's condition, it only took half a second in total. She glanced at it curiously, and then threw back the flaming sword in her hand.

At the moment when he took off his hand, a layer of laurel-colored light clung to the hilt of the sword, and the originally fluttering flame suddenly changed further. While cutting through the air, the red flame quickly stretched and turned into a blazing white spear.

Its trajectory was so fast that the other three couldn't understand it, and they didn't even know what was happening. Only Veronica could vaguely see the changes in the sword, and a white flame flashed across her retinas.

The momentum of the spear was very accurate, and it went straight into the monster's huge mouth. Then, there was a series of muffled sounds - the flaming spear triggered a chain explosion.

The monster obviously didn't have any vocal organs, otherwise it would have screamed in horror when several holes were blown out of its body, but now it just twisted and rolled to the side.

In the last muffled sound, the monster's belly exploded completely, and a piece of smelly and sticky gray-white flesh splashed everywhere, pouring on the three people who had haloes on their feet. Since they still did not dare to act randomly, they could only let it go. Drenched all over by that disgusting thing.

However, compared with this stain, they were more worried about the "person" who was too powerful. If the opponent's next target was them, their fate would not be much better than that monster.

Esther waved her hand guiltily, and the part of the fleshy foam she had just "stolen" was thrown aside. However, her body was clean and not stained at all.

She just closed her palms towards the mutilated piece of flesh, and the long sword returned to her hand instantly.

Although the flame above was extinguished, the temperature still remained, and Esther could even feel that it had become quite relieved, as if she was satisfied with having completed a successful "kill".

Esther immediately realized that this might be the negative effect of this sword as an "extraordinary weapon". It had too strong and vivid fighting spirit, or even killing intent.

In a head-on battle, this may become an increase for the sword wielder, but in a duel beyond their capabilities, it may be a complete death trap. Those caught in the battle will no longer be able to consider retreat until they die...

Esther walked slowly towards the three people trapped in the halo. The smile on her face could be said to be amiable, but the look in the leader's eyes made it seem as if Esther would blow them up together in the next moment.

After clearing her throat, Esther used the long sword in her hand to release a ball of fire, letting it hang above the heads of several people, providing stable light, and then retracted the halo surrounding the three people.

Fragmented light spots rushed back into Esther's hair. She glanced at the residents leaving the city again. Except for the most vigilant middleman, the other two were wearing helmets, but Esther could feel it. Their respective emotions ranged from confusion to unbelievable surprise.

"If you have any questions, you can ask." Esther said with a smile.

She had saved the three of them just now, and now she gave them a chance to question so calmly and politely. This made the three of them gradually lower their guard. At least the weapons in their hands were no longer secretly aimed at Esther.

At this moment, another voice interjected: "You don't parasitize them?"

Another voice suddenly rang out, startling the three people who were still in shock. As the hammers collided, a huge fireball formed instantly and hit the place where the sound came from.

Esther grabbed it with her backhand, and the fireball disappeared into the air: "That's...a friend of mine. Sorry, I scared you."
