Chapter 252 The Butler's Counterattack
The night sky of Huiyao City is a little more gloomy than that of the Haze Forest.
Maybe it’s because it’s early spring, or maybe it’s because the haze forest blocks the cold air from the Spine of the World, the nights here don’t feel that cold.
In the open space of the City Lord's Mansion, the old butler Yide was looking at the opposite side breathlessly.
The continuous blast of rays just now had left the old butler, who was not a professional, somewhat exhausted.
If it were an ordinary opponent, no matter how high his rank was, he would become a sieve full of holes.
But the guy on the opposite side didn't react at all, and even healed the penetrating wounds of Xuman and the others.
Such stimulation is indeed a bit too much for an 81-year-old man.
“Old man, there are so many nosy broken…gods in this world;
Why do you have to rely on an outsider when you can rely on anyone else? "
After sending Xuman and the others away, Alvin stood up with a proud expression.
If he put his hands in his pockets, he would be a replica of old skeleton Rillifane.
"Sir Ivan, it seems that the intelligence capabilities of Huiyao City are still a little weak. They didn't even discover that you are immune to negative energy attacks."
Old Ide lowered his hands and gave up the idea of continuing to attack with alien magic.
"I didn't intend to end you in this way. After all, it takes some time to train a few obedient servants..."
"Hmm...huh?"
Alvin was just about to admire the enemy's impotent rage, but he sensed something wrong in the old butler's words.
Looking at the servants not far away who remained silent even though they were tied up in shameful postures, Ivan suddenly felt his scalp tingling and his heart pounding.
"Xi Ling! Get out of the way!"
Without warning, orange flames leaped out of a servant's body, and then the dwarven gunpowder hidden in his clothes exploded violently.
Then the second, the third...
Xiling, who had been on guard nearby, was blown away by the sudden gust of air.
Annie, who was closest to the scene, didn't even have the chance to activate the spell this time. She was carried into the air and tumbled several times before falling to the ground and falling into a coma.
The others were still far away and were just knocked to the ground by the shock wave. They were not as miserable as Xiling and Yani.
However, the vines and weeds that had originally restrained the servants were also torn apart by the explosion at this time.
The three remaining servants who had not detonated the gunpowder completely ignored the fact that they were already covered in blood from the explosion.
They activated the swiftness spell immediately and rushed towards Xuman.
Xiling, who had experienced several dwarven gunpowder explosions, was not stunned like the others.
The half-elf lady, who already had enough experience, was not hurt as much this time thanks to Ivan's reminder.
In mid-air, she used her ranger skills to nimbly change her body shape, avoiding most of the impact force and landing steadily on the ground.
Although she was worried about Annie who looked miserable, Xiling knew very well what the purpose of the servants' self-destruction was at this moment.
She grabbed her spear and rushed towards Xiuman, speeding up her casting movements.
Percy, who was next to Shuman, reacted even faster. He tried to squeeze out the last bit of his energy and put on [Advanced Swiftness], gaining a speed that ordinary people could not catch up with.
However, the opponents are all enemies with such speed.
Before he could adjust his weapon, Percy was hit by a figure. His abdomen suddenly ached and he fell to the ground and began to retch.
Isa, who had been lurking beside Xiuman, had no time to react at this moment.
Most of her body had been cut off in the previous battle, so now she could only stretch herself as hard as she could to try to stop City Lord Xiuman.
However, this thin layer of black mist had no effect at all in front of the servant who was swiftly approaching.
Two servants had already rushed to Shuman, and the other one also left Percy who was retching on the ground, ready to give the final blow to Shuman who didn't know how to respond.
Looking at the enemy who was less than five yards away from him, Xiuman became extremely calm at this moment.
Before he came of age, he was forced to take over the throne of city lord.
In the eyes of others, being young, rich and powerful is a life that starts at the peak, an enviable life.
But Xiuman himself knew how much effort he had put in to mediate between those ferocious councillors and the royal nobles.
God knows how his father was able to subdue these guys with his mortal body.
Shuman felt that the merchant families in the North were all barbarians who only cared about profit and ignored etiquette;
The group of nobles in the royal capital are even more dangerous. They probably have schemes even on their toes.
If I hadn't accidentally obtained the medieval inheritance of the sorcerer, I would have been able to improve my strength by absorbing the crystals from the Nield Mine every month;
It is estimated that as a young city lord, he has already become a puppet in the hands of powerful forces, or has been made into a human being by extremists.
Every day he analyzes intelligence with trepidation, looking for opportunities for Huiyao City to survive in the cracks, and on the surface he pretends to be a man with deep thoughts, full of secrets and not to be messed with.
Perhaps only Isa and the others can understand my helplessness.
Xuman held up the last magic shield, but instead of covering his body with it as before, he built a partition between himself and Isa.
"Lord Xiuman! What are you going to do!?"
The scarlet pupils in the black mist flickered anxiously, but she did not get a response from Xiuman.
The energy wall behind him was even larger than the black mist that Isa turned into. Xiuman nodded with satisfaction.
Even if those servants self-destructed, they could more or less help Isa block some damage.
This girl, from the time she left the orphanage till now, has sacrificed so much for herself;
Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to give her anything.
Xiuman calmly looked at the enemy approaching him and gently closed his eyes.
He's been so exhausted in the past few years, so maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing if it ended like this.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three explosions sounded in succession, and the gravel and soil in the field were blown all over the sky by the violent air waves.
The place where Xiuman was located turned into a huge deep pit, which echoed the pit at the other end of the battlefield.
Although the power of the dwarven gunpowder is not as strong as that of Ivan's fragmentation shells, these servants carry a lot of it, and its power is at least much greater than that of fireball.
Isa has now lost any response. The black mist she turned into is like pressing the pause button, floating in the air motionlessly.
"Human!"
A heart-wrenching sound rang out from the black fog.
