Chapter 249 The Wine of Victory

Latest website: Annabeth felt like her horse's hooves were about to burst.

The monster behind her became more and more terrifying, and the powerful spiritual energy oppressed her so much that she could hardly breathe.

The strength of this fallen fire keeper exceeds everyone's imagination. The powerful monster is Trorian's biggest threat in its regular state. Although it is only the lowest level, it is also the most powerful monster Annabeth has ever encountered so far. A monster.

Unlike her sisters, although she possesses one of the seven characteristics of magic awakening (liberation), she grows too slowly, and her awakened state is only a relatively weak centaur.

Her sisters had already become the backbone of the royal city, while she was still working as an ordinary member of the secret branch.

When she was growing up, too many people were disappointed in her. It was very uncomfortable to fall from a highly anticipated genius to a silent mediocrity. That sense of gap, that kind of speechlessness, regret, sympathy, ridicule, A look of gloating can kill someone.

She suffered, worked hard, and finally compromised, admitting that she was mediocre, but she still firmly believed that she was useful.

Like now!

Annabei swung her hooves, turned her horse sideways, and made a beautiful 180-degree drift to throw away the gray-robed monster again.

Romance

The star sword pierced the air again, and the violent spiritual energy split the entire street in half.

Monsters transformed from strong human beings in ancient times are the most difficult to deal with. Their super strong fighting instinct makes their actual combat capabilities exceed that of most monsters of the same level.

"Are you ready? Rhodes." Annabeth asked loudly.

The gray-robed monster is chasing after it. The long sword in its hand is as bright as a star, filled with violent spiritual energy. The power of the star sword is gradually revealed. As long as it is touched by the sword light, the whole person will be torn apart. Crush.

"Soon!"

"You said the same thing a quarter of an hour ago!"

"This time it's true!"

"What you said just now is true."

"Shut up! Flash, up there!"

Annabell's front hooves struck hard, and the horse's body was thrown away like a windmill. The gray-robed monster flew down and stabbed the ground with its sword.

With a bang, the entire ground collapsed, and all the buildings within a hundred steps fell into the deep pit.

Annabell jumped away quickly. The horse's body was covered in sweat, and its hooves were a little weak. This was a sign of losing strength. Her awakening state had become unstable, and her strength was about to be exhausted.

And the monster is still alive and well,

"Rod, do you think we will fail?"

"Won't."

"Do you think... I'm useful?"

Rhodes replied in surprise: "Why are you useless?" He turned around and glanced again. The huge amount of spiritual energy consumed instantly drained his spiritual energy, and he activated [Awakening] for the fiftieth time.

Annabeth beneath her became a little faster, and even opened a little distance, allowing Rhodes to stare a few more times.

Frequently using soul harvesting on the same target greatly increases its spiritual energy consumption, but it also greatly consumes some of the opponent's resistance. From the feedback, you can feel that the success rate is increasing rapidly.

"There's hope! It's coming soon, hold on, Annabelle!"

The horse was sweating profusely under her crotch, but she was still running hard. The numerous buildings in the ancient town helped her. She jumped like a wind spirit in the streets, squares, and dry pools, letting the far more powerful Gray Horse The robed monster cannot catch up.

After the seventieth [awakening], Rhodes felt as if he had broken through some kind of limit. The monster's spirit became very fragile, and the success rate of soul harvesting was greatly improved.

The gray-robed monster felt the fatal threat, and its psychic energy became even more violent, pressing behind it like a moving eye of the storm.

The eightieth time [Awakening].

Rhodes could clearly feel Annabeth's muscles spasming, but she still kept running. Now they were just relying on some kind of inertia. Once they stopped, they would never get up again.

The ninetieth time [Awakening].

Rhodes's eyes were about to burst. One [awakening] could no longer sustain the consumption of one soul harvest. The extremely high load of using psionic energy made his spirit extremely painful.

The one hundred and seventh time [Awakening].

Rhodes' eyes were extremely dilated, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. The psychic energy was like thorns pouring out of his soul, and the tearing pain almost made people faint.

But he still stared at the gray-robed monster and accurately launched the soul harvesting. This time, there was no feedback of failure. An invisible sickle fell from the void and cut off the monster's soul.

An even more invisible force turned it into a black thread and submerged into Rhodes' body.

A line of golden writing crossed before his eyes.

【Very powerful soul】

Behind, the gray-robed monster slumped down from mid-air and fell to the ground like a pile of dust. The light on the star sword dimly extinguished, and its spiritual energy quietly dissipated like a storm, just like a sudden rain stopped.

Annabeth was still running, and Rhodes said weakly: "Stop running."

Annabeth didn't stop. She seemed to have lost consciousness, and only the obsession to run was left.

Rhodes slapped the centaur's butt hard and shouted loudly: "Stop running, the monster is dead! My balls are going to be crushed!"

Annabeth finally woke up from a dream and murmured: "Dead...dead?"

Rhodes replied loudly: "Yes! He's dead! He can't die any more! Stop now, I'm really afraid you'll be exhausted!"

With a bang, the centaur fell sideways, throwing Rhodes to the ground and suppressing one of his feet.

"Ouch! Annabeth! You hurt me!"

Annabeth turned a deaf ear and actually cried out, with big tears flowing down her white cheeks.

"I... we succeeded. We killed a powerful monster. Mom and dad, did you see it... I did it. I am useless, but I am useful. I am really useful..."

She burst into tears and howled, completely forgetting that Rhodes was still pressed beneath her.

Rhodes struggled to get away, so he had to take out the disposable military crow messenger, write the good news of victory, squeeze out a little spiritual energy and pour it into it, and the white crow messenger flew away through the air.

——

Periphery.

The noise inside has stopped for a while, and the violent spiritual energy fluctuations have also disappeared. Everyone is uneasy, which means two possibilities.

One, their commander had been victorious.

Second, the monster kills the enemy and returns to peace.

Everyone prayed silently in their hearts that this was the former possibility.

Rod's former teammates continued to tell stories of his past miraculous deeds, boosting their confidence.

Among them, Raistlin, Caramon, and Egger are the core. Their stories have the most, the richest details, and sound the most real.

"...He has never failed. He feels ashamed in front of a genius like me. The only thing I can be proud of is that he doesn't have as many girlfriends as me..."

A white spirit crow flew over, and everyone turned their attention instantly. Caramon, who was being praised just now, was instantly ignored.

The spirit crow flew in front of Molly's eyes and turned into a silver light, bending and twisting in the air to form two large characters.

"Won."

In an instant, huge cheers soared into the sky.

A smile appeared on Molly's serious and cold face. Although it disappeared quickly, it also surprised those who knew her. The legendary cold-faced beauty Molly could actually smile?

Aunt User jumped up and rushed into the penalty area.

"My little Rhodes! You must hold on, sister User will be here soon!"

Everyone rushed in immediately.

Molly turned into mist and jumped among the crowd, and soon came to the front of the team.

Along the way, the traces of fighting in the area were shocking. There were collapsed earth, torn roads, and collapsed houses everywhere.

When everyone finally found the commander, they found that he was holding a girl lying on the ground. The damp chest showed that the girl had cried loudly in his arms.

The two of them remained motionless. The exhaustion after a fierce battle made them fall asleep.

Everyone stopped breathing, only Caramon wailed:

"Are you here again? Annabelle has obviously promised to have dinner with me..."

At this time, Awei found the Star Sword not far away, and dug out a fiery red seed from the ashes.

The light of fire flows on the seeds, faintly visible.

"It is the spark of the Guardian Fire!"

She held her seed high and shouted.

"It's the fire! We can ignite the protective fire of Fanxing Town!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then, huge cheers resounded through Fanxing Town like a sea wave.

——

——

Empire.

Uptown.

For the first time, Manolo Bana gathered so many opponents.

They are all people who will be harmed by the king's new law and Trorian's expansion. They eagerly hope that the expedition team in Fanxing Town will fail miserably to prove that the darkness is invincible and expansion is self-destructive. The only way to survive is to huddle in the corner of the Dead Mountains. Going out of the mountains will inevitably lead to destruction.

But the development of Fanxing Town made them worried. The greedy Maihara giants contracted their logistics supplies, leaving them unable to start. A group of people also appeared in the royal city, openly advocating the inevitable victory of Fanxing Town among the major legions, and asking the soldiers to voluntarily apply for transfer to Fanxing Town to expand the territory of mankind.

The leader is a hunter named Avi, who is very shrewd and difficult to deal with. They tried several times but failed, and many people were arrested by the Internal Affairs Bureau.

The continuous bad news made many people unable to sit still, but Manolo Bana, one of the public leaders of the opponents, summoned them at this time and announced to them a piece of great good news.

"I learned through the method of Sagus' prophecy that there is a very powerful monster lurking deep in Fanxing Town. Its strength can reach the level of a serious threat."

Everyone could hardly believe their ears.

The Royal City distinguishes the strength of a monster or a group of monsters based on the size of the threat, starting from a weak threat to a very serious threat, with a total of nine levels.

A major threat is the third level after extremely major threats.

If it is labeled with the word "malignant", it means that there are other troubles, such as immortality, resurrection, black realm, rage, etc.

One naysayer asked: "What is the total combat level of the expedition team?"

"About 5,000. There are no high-level combatants. They can be ignored until there is a major threat."

"Yes, these are at least powerful primary-level monsters. Without third-level combatants, they can only be slaughtered like the cattle in Black Cow Village."

One opponent hesitated and said: "Well, we are not..."

"Yes, we will win for sure!"

"Hahaha, you deserve it!"

"Yes, this thousand-mile mountain col is our home. There are dangers everywhere in the darkness. If we go out, we will destroy ourselves."

"Lord Gula, is your prediction reliable?"

Manolo Bana showed a mysterious smile.

"Absolutely reliable, this is a destiny prophecy, absolutely infallible."

The venue suddenly burst into laughter.

"Okay! I will invest a lot of money to expand my food workshop. The Sigwe factory should no longer be controlled by the royal city. The wastes who can't afford to eat can die!"

"Hahaha, yes, the more the king forbids us, the more we will do it."

"Servant, bring me some wine. I want the best Samwell red blood wine."

In the warm atmosphere, the sweet red blood wine overflowed on the crystal tower of the dining table, reflecting colorful light under the firelight.

The opponents drank from each other's glasses.

The party turned into a banquet, and everyone was in high spirits. Manolo Bana was even more proud. Through such an accurate prediction, his prestige will inevitably rise to a higher level. When the plan is implemented in the future, it will be even more powerful. point.

At this moment, a spirit crow messenger flew into the restaurant and turned into a piece of silver writing in front of Manolo Bana.

"The fire of Stars Town has been ignited, the monsters in the town have been wiped out, and the fallen ones transformed by the high-level fire priests of the Stars Kingdom have been killed."

There was a sudden silence in the restaurant, as if it was enveloped in a realm of silence.

A ping!

The wine glass in Manolo Bana's hand fell to the ground, and the broken glass was soaked in blood-red wine, making it even more crystal clear.
