Chapter 67 Certificate of Surrender
Chapter 67 Certificate of Surrender
Ekz stood up dazed in his tattered apprentice robe. Before he could figure out the situation around him, he heard someone saying he wanted to kill him. How arrogant! He forced himself to look at the person approaching.
Ivan trotted closer and saw Ekz's current appearance clearly.
His body became bloated, his neck and arms were covered with cracks and snake scales that had begun to blend with keratin. The python head behind his shoulder had become one third stronger. It had blocked the way in the previous critical moment, but the hissing sound it made was weak.
Ivan held the sword in one hand and the spell materials he had picked out from the herbs in the other hand. Without saying a word, he chose to take action.
'Tangled Vines'
As he chanted the last half of the spell, he threw the spell materials to the appropriate position in front of him.
A black vine quickly stretched out and wrapped around Ekz like a chain.
At the same time, Ekz also cast the spell "Thunder Whisker", causing the long sword in his hand to be wrapped in shining lightning. The long sword was slightly deformed in the previous interception, but it did not affect its sharpness.
The long sword slashed at the vines that were entwined around.
The lightning cut through the darkness.
The black vine broke into two sections.
Toins commented that the vines were very malleable. Ivan remembered and developed this point. The broken vines did not dissipate, but continued to float and entwine around. One section entangled Ekz's arm, and another section entangled the black python's head.
The python's head was indeed severely injured just now and was unable to avoid the entanglement of the vines.
Ekz swung his sword twice slowly, cutting the vines that tried to wrap around his arm into four pieces and transforming them into energy particles again.
"Whoosh!"
Following the vines was Ivan's stab.
Under the apprentice robe, he was wrapped in a thin layer of fighting spirit, as if he was wearing a close-fitting black gauze dress. With light steps, he stabbed out his strongest sword, which was the killer move of the Eye of the Bat, the 'Bat Round Dance'.
The two swords collided, making a crisp sound.
The Quillen sword in Ivan's hand cleverly moved in a circle following the elastic force, but the tip of the sword still pierced towards Ekz's heart.
Such a familiar sword!
Ekz's injury was more serious than it looked. He tried to move but it was too late. A figure inexplicably emerged in his mind, and that figure also stabbed at him with such an amazing sword. He had moved away some distance at that time.
The tip of the sword pierced the heart.
Ekz opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but Ivan gripped the hilt of the sword and twisted it hard, cutting off the last ray of life.
Ivan drew out the Quillen sword and stabbed Ekz who was falling to the ground with the sword, cutting off the python's head which was still struggling. He then stabbed it with the sword, but he couldn't be still alive like this.
"You bastard Ivan, you actually dared to kill Ekz? Wizard Toins will not let you go." The little green-winged snake's voice sounded angrily. Because Biller was nearby, it didn't dare to get close.
I've already killed him, what else can I do?
This was Ivan's first time killing someone, and perhaps because he had experienced so much, he didn't feel any discomfort.
He ignored Lal and squatted down to search Ekz's pocket. He found a book and stuffed it directly into his own pocket.
"Interesting." Birrell glanced at the little green-winged snake.
Seeing that it was outnumbered, the little green-winged snake could not stay and ran away. It wanted to go back and tell Wizard Toins all the information. Billel was not easy to deal with at the moment.
Perhaps because he had pledged his allegiance, Biller no longer stared at Ivan with a covetous look.
"This is the access token to the laboratory. The password is 'Lal is a great snake.'"
Ivan took the initiative to throw the copper token over and told Lal the password he had set.
"A stupid thing." Billel took it with one hand and swam to the side with his huge body.
The remaining two could only follow quickly.
A minute or two later, Billel dived into a pool of water without a word, leaving the two people who followed him dumbfounded.
What does it mean?
The two of them waited patiently for a long time, and there was no ripple in the pool. Penny said quietly, "Now we are worthless pawns."
Ivan subconsciously retorted: "A chess piece without value is not a chess piece." After saying that, he realized that this was exactly the situation they were in.
The two looked at each other and realized that Birrell was not going to care about them anymore, so they gained temporary freedom.
"What should we do?" Purney patted her head. The situation was becoming increasingly confusing. "Why don't we guard the boat and wait for the right time to seize it and get out of this sea area."
"Let's wait until daybreak. Once Biller gets what he wants, he will be impatient to make a scene." Ivan knew that they couldn't escape from the island by just taking over the boat, and it wasn't easy to take over the boat either.
The two did not dare to stay by the pond any longer. As they had no destination, they walked slowly.
"You hid it really well. I didn't expect you were a knight. The last sword move was great."
“It’s just that there’s no need to tell everyone.”
Penny suggested, "Let's take you somewhere safer than wandering around here."
"Row."
Ivan nodded in agreement.
What Ivan didn't expect was that Penny took him to the ruins behind the castle, in a direction far away from the castle.
"Let's stay at the edge, one of the places I hid before." Penny took him to under a collapsed wall, and then to the left and right, and finally into a crack in the underground collapse, and came to a narrow cave.
The cave was obviously man-made, with a small entrance and a wide interior.
"You're so brave." Ivan didn't know what to say. This place was definitely the most dangerous building among all the dangerous buildings. If you were not careful, many places would collapse. It was a perfect place to bury yourself alive.
"My courage was developed here." Penny sat on the dry grass on the ground, leaning against the cave as usual.
Thinking that she used to be a noble lady who lived a life of luxury, Ivan fell silent. It was all Toins' fault. No wonder Biller wanted to stab him so much. In fact, Ivan also wanted to stab him a few times, but unfortunately his strength did not allow it.
a new day.
A little dim light came through the cracks in the ground, and Ivan knew that it should be dawn.
"Wake up quickly."
He noticed a slight movement and listened carefully, and found that the surrounding mountain walls were shaking slightly, so he hurriedly woke up Penny who was still sleeping.
Penny looked at Ivan in surprise as he looked serious.
"what happened?"
"I heard some noises, and the surroundings were shaking."
"You think too much. Let me tell you, even though it looks like it's going to collapse, I've secretly fixed it. It won't fall down that easily. This place wasn't caused by a collapse, but some kind of attack. The surroundings are very stable."
Purney didn't hear what he said, so she naturally didn't believe him and thought he was worrying too much.
Ivan would not tell her that he had excellent hearing. He did not argue with her. He directly expressed his attitude with his actions and walked out of the cave and crawled up the crack in the ground.
"Follow."
"How can you be so unreasonable?"
Penny looked at him a little madly and followed him reluctantly.
As soon as she walked out of the cave, she saw Ivan rushing towards her, and he threw her back into the cave without any preparation.
Before Pernie could curse, she heard a loud 'boom' outside, and the broken rocks and walls fell into the cracks in the ground. The little light in the cave disappeared. This time she heard a continuous vibration, and the ground around her was shaking constantly.
Obviously, there was a big commotion outside.
