The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: Fierce Battle

“The nightmares of the animals are coming to attack us!” Lothar said, “Ass! I’ll ride the horse, and you will attack them!”

“Don’t you know how to ride a horse? What if you fall?”

“That’s better than being bitten to death by them!”

As Lothar said, she let go of the hand holding Lux’s waist. Lax clenched her silver teeth, stepped on the stirrups and jumped from the side of Xinghuo to behind Lothar. She hugged his waist with one hand and held up the cane with the other. , Killed many nightmare monsters.

Lothar didn’t grab the rein, but bent down and put his hands on Xinghuo’s neck.

“Don’t be afraid, good boy.” Lothar comforted the frightened Xinghuo, “Your master and I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Xinghuo seemed to understand Lothar’s words, and slowly stabilized his hasty footsteps, continuing to gallop in the forest.

Lux wiped out a giant nightmare bear and said loudly, “Rorschach! My grandfather’s tomb is to the west! There is a path leading there!”

“Understood!” Lothar kicked Xinghuo in the stomach, urging the horse to run faster, “But we seem to be in big trouble!”

When Lux heard this, she looked forward, and saw that the overwhelming number of nightmare bats were flying towards them. The exaggerated number made both Lothar and Lax turn pale. .

“Can your light kill so many bats?”

“I’m not a god! I’m not that powerful!”

“Then what should I do? Stop? If you stop now, you will die!”

“Wait… I have a solution! Don’t slow down!” The light flickered between Lux’s five fingers, and a translucent light curtain surrounded them in a spherical shape. Bats turned into dust.

“It’s really you!” Lothar praised Lacus.

“Quiet! I need to stay focused!” Lux concentrated her energy to maintain the shape of the light curtain, and the bats slammed into them one after another, but did not slow down Xinghuo’s speed.

“There is a fork in the road ahead!” Lothar shouted after running wildly among the bats for more than ten minutes.

“Take the path in the middle! We’re almost there.” Lux gritted her teeth and said, there are too many bats, so don’t give her any time to breathe.

But the moment they stepped into the path, all the bats disappeared without any sign.

Lothar turned her head and looked at Lacus in blank dismay.

“Those nightmares stopped chasing us, and the black magic disappeared.” Lux felt that this was too sudden.

“I hope to think so too.” Lothar was obviously not so optimistic, “But I think another possibility is even greater.”

“what”

“Further ahead, there is something…” Lothar looked into the depths of the path, “I dare not even approach the nightmare.”

The path leading to Fossian’s tomb was winding and winding, and its appearance was quite different from other places in the forest – the shapes of the trees were twisted and grotesque, and the branches barged in the middle of the road, tearing Lothar and Lux’s hair. The ground under his feet was no longer solid, but soft and rotten like mud, exuding some stench.

“It’s like a scene that would only appear in a ghost story told to children…” Lacus involuntarily hugged Lothar tightly, pressing her cheek against his back.

“Are all the ghost stories in Demacia like this? The ghost stories in the Freljord are basically the cannibal stories of bearmen and trolls.” Lothar looked around vigilantly, and the road was getting closer and closer. It was difficult, too rough to be a road, and Starfire had to slow down to avoid bumping his head into a tree.

Xinghuo came to the entrance of a clearing. The clearing was surrounded by shadows, dark and deep, even thicker than the night color of the sky.

The horse stopped, and Lothar gave it a light kick in the stomach, but Xinghuo still didn’t move, and shook his head uneasily.

“Calm down, young man.” Lux stroked Xinghuo’s mane, “Go a little further.”

But no matter what Lux said, Xinghuo refused to take half a step into the open space.

“It seems that we are the only ones going, Xinghuo is so scared, that guy is probably in front.” Lothar slid off the horse, looked at Lux’s face, the girl’s face had lost any color, obviously exhausted, Lothar Frowning, “Are you sure you can still hold on?”

Lacus smiled: “Of course, we’ve come to this point, we can’t give up no matter what.”

Lacus also slid off the horse, her feet just touched the ground, her legs went limp, and her whole body was on the verge of falling.

Lothar hugged Lacus’ shoulders, preventing her from falling to the ground: “Are you really sure you can still walk?”

Lacus said firmly: “I must go, only my light can defeat it.”

Lothar smiled slightly: “Good job.”

After finishing speaking, Lothar knelt down, turned her back to Lacus and said, “Go on!”Come on, I’ll carry you on my back. ”

“No need, I can walk by myself…”

“If you are told to come up, you will come up.”

Lacus hesitated for a moment, put her arms around Lothar’s neck, and lay on his sad face.

Lothar stood up, stretched her left arm back, and slapped her palm under Lacus’s skirt armor, holding up her buttocks covered by tights, with hands full of softness and elasticity.

“Rorschach!” Lux blushed and slapped Lothar fiercely, “Where are you touching?”

Lothar said aggrievedly: “I only have one hand. If you don’t put your back on your back, where can you put your butt? Besides, it’s not like I haven’t touched it before.”

Lax was so ashamed that she almost didn’t punch Lothar again, but her fist was suspended in the air, and it still didn’t land in the end.

“Not allowed [resource; source’ group]: 9? 8; 0; 2?. 0′. 5,, 8″5. ;6 pinch, not allowed [resource; source’ group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? . 0′. 5,,8″5.;6 Catch, not allowed [resource; source’ group]: 9? 8;0;2?.0′. 5,,8″5. ;6 Knead. “Lax buried her face on Lothar’s back so that he wouldn’t notice the smile on her face, “If I feel that any of your fingers is dishonest, just wait for me to beat you all over the head!”

“Yes, yes, dear Miss Crownguard.” Lothar laughed and walked step by step into the shadowy open space with Lacus on her back.

Although he was about to face a terrifying enemy, Lux, who was lying on Lothar’s back, was not too nervous.

On the contrary, there was a trace of relief.

…

A nightmare giant as tall as a building.

Insidious and cunning nightmare poisonous insect.

A heavily armed nightmare warrior.

Galen couldn’t remember how many kinds of nightmare monsters he had killed.

The results of the five fighters were remarkable. Relying on the advantage of being on the high platform, they fought against the nightmare monsters for almost half an hour, and they still stood firmly on the high platform.

But the nightmare monsters couldn’t be killed no matter what. After killing them for so long, their number increased instead of decreasing, and they rushed to attack the soldiers on the high platform one after another like a tide.

Galen knocked a nightmare jackal into the air with his shoulder armor, and took advantage of the opportunity to chop a giant centipede that was rushing towards his comrades in half with his giant sword.

“Galen! Be careful!”

The reminder from his comrade-in-arms came a bit late, and just as Galen realized something was wrong, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. A nightmare spider with a large head climbed onto his body at some point, and its fangs pierced the inner armor and penetrated into his body. of flesh and blood.

The rancid breath suddenly penetrated Galen’s nose, almost making him sick.

Galen held back the severe pain and yelled, smashed the spider’s head with a punch, and then pulled out the fangs from his waist.

“Galen! Are you alright!” Valya hurriedly stood beside Galen, making up for him.

Galen’s nostrils were filled with a pungent stench, like the smell of a decaying corpse. He felt the tense muscles all over his body start to tremble violently, and the feeling of weakness kept coming up.

Galen knew that he was poisoned.
