Chapter 969 Ashes and Rocks

The speed of other apprentices was slowed down by the monsters that slipped through from time to time. Angell's speed was increased, but there was still a fog above his head, so he didn't dare to go too fast.

After flying for almost half a minute, Angell suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood from above.

"Hide behind, the clone of the sickle-wielding blood demon is falling!" Madeline's voice, with a big breath, came into Angell's ears.

Angell subconsciously took a step back according to Madeline's instructions.

But just as he retreated, he heard Toby's warning sound. Angell turned his head in confusion, but saw a fat and terrifying face behind him, holding two huge machetes, facing him.

Angell was startled by this "person" who suddenly appeared, and the distance between them was not even more than one meter.

"Hehehe, my human meat pie is still a little short of ingredients, it smells so good, I want to chop you into pieces." A strange and floating voice came from the cracked bloody mouth of the person in front of him.

When this voice reached Angel's ears, he first thought it was Madeline's voice, but soon, he thought of Sanders, Nausicaa... and even Greya's voice, which was unpredictable and difficult to distinguish!

Obviously, he thought it was Madeline who was talking to him just now, but it was not the case at all. It was this monster with a strange voice that was guiding him.

This was a fat man, holding a sawtooth machete in each hand, a huge iron pot wrapped around his back, and black chains all over his body. His ears were like pig ears, as big as a palm leaf fan, and they were flapping constantly, replacing wings to make him fly.

While he was talking, his machete had already chopped towards Angel quickly.

At this time, their distance was extremely limited, and Angel wanted to retreat, but it was too late. He calculated the trajectory of the machete in his mind, and after dodging a series of random slashes, he took the opportunity to pass by and kicked the fat man's neck fiercely.

When he staggered, he turned over and retreated several meters away.

With the advantage of distance, he was no longer worried.

Because Madeline said before that the speed of restoring magic power in the abyss would be much slower, so he had to learn to save it now.

Other apprentices would rush at the monsters when they encountered them, and this energy consumption rate was actually very fast. In the abyss full of dangers, it is very likely that the energy would be used up first, resulting in the lack of follow-up power and death.

Therefore, he must consciously save power from the beginning.

Angel thought quickly in his mind, how to use the lowest energy consumption to solve the opponent in front of him.

The speed of thinking turned very fast, and a series of coping methods came out in a short time. However, it was Toby's actions that were faster than his thinking speed.

Before, Angel was within the attack range of the fat man, and Toby was a little restrained for a while. Now that Angel has opened up the distance, how could Toby let him go.

When Angel was calculating the gains and losses, Toby had already cut off the fat man's two ears with his claws at a very fast speed.

The fat man flew by relying on his ears. Now that his ears were gone, panic appeared in his eyes. He screamed and fell uncontrollably.

Toby ran to Angel with a proud face to ask for credit.

Angel: "...Well, you are also part of my fighting force."

Angel was a little amused. He had almost formed the tactics in his mind, but he didn't expect the battle to end so easily.

The first opponent he met in the abyss fell down like this. He probably didn't survive.

"Forget it, keep going up." Angel couldn't go down to confirm his life or death. Even if he was still alive, he would probably be killed by the apprentices below.

He continued to fly up, and not long after, he suddenly felt a light coming from above.

When he was wondering, he found that he had unknowingly passed through the foggy area, and he could see the top of the sky-shaking boulder right above him.

When he raised his head and looked up, his pupils shrank.

What was reflected in his eyes... was an architectural miracle that he couldn't describe in words at all!

At the top of the giant rock, a magnificent building stands in the gloomy sky. Moreover, it is not just this giant rock, the tops of dozens of giant rocks nearby are all part of this building, connected by a looping sky bridge!

It is a city, but it is not like it.

Because in Angel's eyes, this is actually a building. Although this building has many rooms, many towers, and many suspended bridges leading to various giant rocks.

But their overall style is the same, like a huge castle like a church, standing on the top of the cloud.

"It is indeed a miracle of wizard architecture!" Angel has seen too many wonderful buildings, including the Sky Mechanical City, but none of them can bring him such a great shock.

In the desolate and withered abyss full of crises, wizards secretly built such a great stronghold city to protect the humans who came to the abyss, and it lasted for thousands of years.

Angel was inexplicably moved.

This is the ash rock! This is the great wizard city!

The whole building exudes a faint golden light, illuminating the gloomy sea of ​​clouds. At first glance, one thinks of the church that gives people hope, and one can faintly hear the nuns singing.

In a world of despair, the Ash Rock originally gave people hope and light.

However, today, the Ash Rock is stained with darkness and war.

The entire area around the Ash Rock was filled with abyssal monsters, flying in the sky and fighting with the guards in the Ash Rock.

From time to time, monsters chopped the Ash Rock, and a large number of buildings collapsed under the attack. Countless bricks, countless buildings and statues fell from the clouds.

This was a sad and desperate scene.

Not only Angel, but more and more apprentices flew out of the mist below. When they saw the blood-red Ash Rock, everyone was silent.

"The Ash Rock has stood for thousands of years, but the light still has not illuminated the abyss, and darkness will eventually come."

Sigh, it's useless after all. Even if the Ash Rock is defended this time, it still comes to an end.

Angel slowly flew into the sky and finally landed beside Madeline.

Right in front of them was the Frost Moon Guard led by Maher. Opposite them were a large number of abyss monsters. In the center of the monsters, Angel saw a humanoid monster that was obviously several times larger.

All the abyss monsters were on guard around the humanoid monster.

"That's the sickle-wielding blood demon. It looks very majestic, right?" Madeline followed Angel's gaze and looked at the humanoid monster, saying, "However, it is only a half-blood demon. It is a hybrid born from the union of a demon and the abyss natives... I am not scolding it on purpose. The demons call this kind of half-blood demon a hybrid."

Half-blood demons are not even elementary demons, and their strength is generally very low. But even so, no matter how bad a half-blood demon is, it has the strength of a wizard.

It can be seen how powerful the demons of the abyss are!

The confrontation between humans and abyss monsters did not last too long. Originally, the abyss monsters were crushing the ash soil boulders, but now the Frost Moon Guards arrived in time and their strength instantly surpassed the other side.

The two sides were doing their own thing, and there was no possibility of negotiation. They went to war directly.

The battle ended very quickly. In almost one breath, Sinafa used an unreasonable and terrifying force to snipe the sickle-wielding blood demon from a long distance. The sickle-wielding blood demon didn't even have time to react before it exploded into pieces of meat.

Without a leader, it was only a matter of time to clear out the other monsters.

None of the remaining monsters were higher than the wizard level. Therefore, the Frost Moon Guard consciously missed some weaker fry in the killing and gave them to other apprentices.

Angel had previously suffered from the lack of experience in fighting abyss monsters, but now he had a lot of opportunities.

In this killing that lasted for nearly six hours, Angel accumulated a lot of combat experience. Of course, this combat experience does not mean combat style and consciousness. He had accumulated a lot of these experiences when he was in the wizard world; rather, it refers to the precise control of one's own strength, using the least power to complete the maximum kill.

This is the precision of the battle rhythm.

When the battle was over, Madeline looked at Angel and raised her eyebrows: "I thought that people from the academy were used to starting with magic. It seems that I misunderstood you. That's right, after all, you are the apprentice of Lord Phantom Demon, so it's normal that you adapt so quickly."

Angel still had at least 60% of the energy in his magic source at this time.

In the entire battle, he only used illusion when he was besieged by a large number of monsters. At other times, he hardly used tricks, at most using some level 0 tricks for interference.

In addition, he used a lot of alchemical weapons.

Although he didn't have the bonus of hard strength like other bloodlines, he was an alchemist, so how could he not prepare his own weapons? The energy supply of these weapons was basically magic crystals, and the thing he lacked the least was magic crystals.

So, although he didn't use tricks much, his killing speed and efficiency were far superior to his peers.

At least Madeline noticed that the total number of monsters killed by Angel ranked at least among all apprentices.

"If you can integrate a suitable bloodline, perhaps your killing efficiency will be improved even more." Madeline smiled and said, "This is the abyss, with countless monsters. If you need it, I can help you refine the bloodline; as for the price, how about a music box?"

Angel smiled and nodded to Madeline, but did not mention that he had actually integrated the bloodline.

Madeline turned around and looked at the ash rock that was shining with golden light. In the past, these golden lights looked like light and hope, but now... there is a bit of desolation in the twilight.

"Let's go back first. Something happened here. Shuangyue will take at least some time to solve the transfer issue." Madeline shook her head and sighed: "It's a pity that the ash rock wants to regain its glory, maybe it will never be possible."

Even though they won this battle, no one was too happy. Instead, they flew towards the scarred ash rock with regret and sadness.
