"Mark!" Elizabeth forgot to cast the spell and asked loudly, "Why?"
"This is the original plan." As Mark said this, his eyes suddenly glanced to the side of the princess, as if someone suddenly appeared in that direction.
The princess turned around immediately, but there was nothing there.
Mark took the opportunity to step forward and hit the princess' neck with the hilt of his sword.
The princess slipped to the ground like a salted fish.
When the cat man heard the sound of falling to the ground, he glanced over here and immediately exclaimed, "Your Highness!"
In the moment of distraction, the enemy ranger shot her hand, knocking her longbow down. The cat-man tried to grab it, but the enemy shot another arrow at her chest.
She could only dodge to the side and watch the longbow fall into the rushing stinking river.
The cat-man cursed, drew his dagger, barely blocked the newly shot arrow, and rushed towards the ranger.
Seeing this, the dwarf shouted, "Gao! Come and help me, we still have the advantage!"
The barbarian who was knocked to the ground by the fireball just now got up and rushed towards the dwarf again.
The inexperienced knight cursed and tried to get up, but the dwarf's hammer hit his helmet repeatedly, and the crisp sound echoed back and forth on the ground.
The barbarians arrived, grabbed the knight's feet, swung him around and threw him into the stinking river.
"In the name of the Duke!" The knight's shout immediately turned into a choking sound.
The dwarf chanted the name of Cailin, held up the holy emblem to guide positive energy, and the healing light fell equally on everyone. While doing this, he shouted: "Elf thing! If you don't come out..."
Suddenly, the dwarf rolled to the side, and his short and stout body barely avoided the armor-piercing sword.
The enemy assassin finally appeared.
The barbarian's huge axe immediately greeted the assassin, but was nimbly dodged.
The assassin took out the smoke bomb, and at that moment, a flying knife hit her chest and penetrated her leather armor. The assassin looked at the flying knife that suddenly appeared with a suspicious expression, and fell backwards with such a suspicious expression. The smoke bomb without a fuse rolled all the way into the stinky river next to it.
The drow appeared over Mark, a dagger at his throat.
The king, who had just rolled on the ground, got up. The dwarf's guided positive energy healed some of his wounds. Although he was still hunched over with his left hand covering his stomach, his right hand had already begun to cast spells.
He cast a simple magic missile.
Three missiles shot out from his fingertips, following different paths and attacking the enemy ranger who was entangled with the cat-man.
Magic Missiles will automatically hit the target, even if the Ranger is moving quickly. The shield spell that can restrain magic missiles can only be added to the caster himself, and the Ranger cannot cast this spell.
But the experienced ranger immediately put his hands on his head and rolled on the ground. Magic missiles cannot choose where to hit, and if you roll in this position, most of the damage will hit your back and buttocks, which is less likely to hit vital parts (*).
The next moment, the ranger leaped into the dirty sewage river.
The cat-man chased him to the river, looked down, and shouted, "He's gone!"
Wang heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Adventure is indeed full of surprises and surprises."
The dwarf cursed: "You almost lost your life, and you call this an accident or a surprise?"
Wang: "Isn't this just trusting the healer in the team? But... my wound is a little itchy, I think I need treatment. My teacher said that when I need treatment, I should shout Sanita. It is said that he learned this from a certain plane, where people are addicted to an artificially created illusion world."
The dwarf walked towards the king, cursing, and began to cast spells as he walked.
Just now, in a desperate situation, he channeled positive energy, which is a range treatment that does not distinguish between friend or foe. This can restore some of the mage's life and stop the bleeding at the same time (*).
However, for an injury like a sword wound to the stomach, it would be more reliable to use a regular healing spell.
When the dwarf finished casting the spell, he placed his hand, which was surrounded by light, on the wizard's stomach.
When the treatment was over, Wang squatted down in front of Elizabeth, picked up the girl and turned her over to her front.
Catman: "Wake her up gently, Mage."
The king slapped the princess in the face. The princess was awakened immediately, covering her face and looking at the wizard in shock.
Wang: "It's really efficient. No wonder my senior brother always beats me when I faint after concentrating on spellcasting training."
Elizabeth: "My father never hit me!"
"But I think we should quickly restore the caster's consciousness now. We are still in danger." The king said seriously. It seemed that he was about to throw Elizabeth down and stand up, but he thought of something halfway and gently put the princess back to the ground.
The princess still covered her face: "I was ready to be thrown away just now."
Wang: "You should be gentle with ladies. My teacher told me so."
Elizabeth, with an expression of "I'm used to it", patted her butt and stood up, then glared at Mark: "Why is this? I want an explanation!"
Mark suddenly laughed: "You still ask me why? Look, the wizard has only been here for a few days? Two days! And then you allow him to do something to you, or rather, you are happy to see it happen! Just because he is the apprentice of a living legend, and maybe even an illegitimate child!"
Wang: "This is incorrect. The definition of an illegitimate child is a child born out of an extramarital affair. My teacher is not married. Strictly speaking, I can only be his son, not an illegitimate child."
Elizabeth's mouth curled up slightly.
Mark: "Look! That's it! Everyone can see that if the wizard stays here long enough, the princess' heart will be his sooner or later!"
Wang was shocked: "Really?"
Elizabeth's ears blushed slightly, but she retorted, "Of course not! I am the princess of the Landon Territory, and I will marry in the future."
"That makes sense. Then I should just be a lover. In novels, princesses always have a lover who helps her plan her itinerary when she wants to escape, and then watches the princess and the prince run towards a happy future."
As soon as the words were spoken, the passage became silent, with only the crackling sound of the burning flames remaining.
Marika: "We are interrogating a traitor, be serious. Mage, please don't speak yet."
Wang nodded.
The princess cleared her throat: "So you like me..."
"Who can not like you, Your Highness? The wizard is right. You don't need to learn the spell of Charm Human. And look at the new wizard..."
"That doesn't make sense." Wang interrupted Mark again, "I don't think the mastermind would trust a traitor who just defected yesterday. No, that's not the case. You defected a long time ago. You are the spy planted by the mastermind here for the princess. I would boldly guess that Mark joined after the princess started investigating the disappearance of stray cats and dogs."
The princess squinted her eyes and thought for a few seconds: "It seems to be true..."
Marika: "That's right. At that time, I persuaded His Highness that the story of sharing a piece of bread was too crude. But later, Mark did not behave suspiciously, so I temporarily trusted him."
Wang: "How long have you been investigating? I noticed the princess's visit records. The earliest record was three months ago. You must have noticed the disappearance of cats and dogs even earlier."
"Yes," Elizabeth responded. "In fact, half a year ago, I found that a wild cat I had been feeding was missing. Every morning, it would come along the city wall to the bottom of the tower where I lived. Then I would throw food or something to it from the window."
Everyone looked at Mark.
The soldier laughed: "Since we've been exposed, there's nothing we can do. For the sake of our great..."
Wang: "Gasket! Don't let him swallow anything or use the scroll!"
The drow immediately did as she was told and put her hand into Mark's mouth. A second later, she pulled out a small capsule filled with a sticky liquid.
The dwarf cried out, "I feel... huh? It feels strange, it's evil, but it's also... warm."
Drow: "As a drow, I'm sure this thing is evil, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Mark stretched his neck forward, a movement so violent that Marika didn't have time to retract the dagger. The sharp blade tore the warrior's throat, exposing the vocal cords and blood vessels underneath, and blood pumped out and sprayed everywhere.
After paying such a price, the warrior swallowed the capsule in one gulp and even bit off two of Zhuo Er's fingers!
The drow frowned and unceremoniously pierced the warrior's heart with a dagger, then continued to finish him off, thrusting continuously at an extremely fast speed, completely destroying Mark's lungs, kidneys, and intestines.
However, these wounds healed with amazing speed.
Mark: "This is the power given by our savior! It will make all the unfairness disappear completely! Everyone will live happily together!"
Chapter 24 How to break the situation
Wang was about to speak, but stopped when he heard the enemy shouting. He listened carefully before continuing what he had just said: "He has the ability to resurrect. Hit him with fire or acid! Try fire first!"
The cat-man Michaela picked up the burning wood chip at her feet and threw it at Mark's mutated thing, but found that it was useless. The flames on the wood chip did not make Mark flinch.
Elizabeth: "I'll do it! I also have the scorching ray."
As she cast the spell, Mark's body was expanding violently, as if he had a huge amount of vitality that could not be contained, so he had to release it in this way.
Wang observed it carefully, and then commented: "It looks like a tumor."
The dwarf asked loudly, "What the hell is that?"
"Some planes with advanced medical technology would refer to things that grow excessively on humans as this."
At this time, Marika kept trying to attack the continuously expanding Mark with a dagger, but found that the damage of the dagger was too small for this thing.
Anyway, Mark was obsessed with getting bigger and had no intention of attacking everyone, so Marika simply kept some distance and stood between Mark and the princess at a subtle angle. From this angle, the princess had a clear view to fire the rays, and Marika was able to stop Mark in time when he was about to rush towards the princess.
After zooming out, Marika was shocked: "I think he looks like a Chaos Spawn, a failed attempt by a devil worshiper to gain power from the devil (*)."
After shooting an arrow and finding it useless, the cat man stopped and stood at the end of the entire team, very close to the flames.
She added: "I think he is like a erect penis, but it is crooked."
Elizabeth completed the spell, and a ray shot out from her fingertips, passed by Marika, and accurately hit the target that was already two people tall.
The power of the ray was as strong as before, directly carbonizing a large area of the surface of what used to be Mark's thing, but the new skin immediately covered the carbonized part.
Elizabeth: "It's useless. I'll try magic missiles!"
Wang had already got the spellcasting materials in his hands at this time, but the mage's spells were not as abundant as those of the warlock, so he was waiting and watching.
After making sure that the princess's rays had no effect, the king began to cast a spell. While casting the spell, he raised his hand and crushed the viper's stomach in his left hand with the most standard movement. He mixed the minced meat with fragments of rhubarb leaves and smeared it on the dart in his right hand.
Yes, these actions are part of the spellcasting process. When you do all of this, the spell is also finished.
Wang threw darts at Mark's inflated thing!
The moment it was thrown, the dart changed, turning into a cone made of strong acid, emitting green light.
Ma Youfu's strong acid arrow!
The king was, after all, an expert with the sling, and the arrow hit the mark perfectly—the main target was indeed too large.
The moment it touched the target, the vertebrae made of acid shattered instantly, smearing a layer of strong acid on Mark's tumor-ridden body. The green smoke produced by the acid burning the flesh immediately rose up, accompanied by a pungent smell.
Mark howled.
Wang: "There is no rebirth where the acid covers! The acid works!"
"Then come on again!" the cat-man shouted.
Wang: "I don't have any more. I only prepared a strong acid arrow as a backup this morning. This is a countermeasure magic against trolls. There are usually no trolls in the city sewers. I prepared it just in case."
