Chapter 728 I drift to the north~

In the Northern Undead Asylum, the zombies in this place are not only more powerful than those in other places, but even the gate has become thicker.

It took Hervey and a few other members of the Spark Church to push it away.

By the way, the people led by Hervey called themselves "Spark Knights", which seemed to be a title set up to compete with the Holy Light Knights of the Holy Light Church. Almost all of them were Sun Warriors.

What everyone didn't expect after pushing open the door was that there was a larger courtyard behind it.

It was a square courtyard that seemed perfect for playing an invader melee, with entrances to the adjacent buildings on both sides.

And right in front of them was a doorway that was wide open without any gate blocking it.

My eyes passed through the narrow doorway and headed towards the blue sky and white clouds, but my sight was suddenly cut off.

Because at the very end, there is a cliff.

A. A cliff covered with giant bird nests?

Would the zombie guards here allow bird monsters to nest here? Aren't they afraid of a threat to safety?

"Isn't there no way to go at all?" Todd couldn't help but say it out loud.

"No, no, no, the real show is just about to begin!"

Hervey suddenly showed a look of seeing through everything, raised his hand and snapped his fingers casually, as if it was some kind of signal.

The Spark Knights received the signal and began their speeches one by one, pointing at the courtyard.

One person pointed to the side doors on both sides and said, "See those iron bars above the two doors? They'll definitely come down when we pass by. That's what the iron bars do!"

One person pointed at the completely unprotected doorway and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that there's nothing there. A fog gate will definitely appear when we get there. We just don't know if it will be white or yellow."

Another person pointed to the slightly sunken courtyard ground and said, "Look, that's made of bricks, and it's sunken. What does this mean? It means that as soon as we walk over there, the whole ground will collapse!"

Finally, Hervey concluded the conversation. He raised his cloak confidently and said:

"When we fall down, we will encounter the toughest enemy here, at least an elite monster!"

Todd blinked blankly.

These people were apparently silent while walking just now, but why did they suddenly become so excited when they started talking about the dungeon?

He could only smile and say, "You guys know quite a lot."

"Well, we've all been in the Thane dungeon for a long, long time. I joined right after Lienia of the Lake was released. So, I'm pretty experienced, right?"

"Tsk~ I entered Thane around the time when the Farran Fortress appeared. I participated in the crusade against the demons that invaded Val City, and even teamed up with the current leader of the Farran Guard!"

"If we talk about age, none of you are older than me. I went in when Sean first mutated. Who else is older than me?"

“Bang!”

Hervey snapped his fingers again, and the people who had been arguing just now stopped talking and fell silent again.

Todd was stunned by this miraculous operation.

"Once they start talking about the dungeon, they get so excited that they can't stop. So to avoid delaying their work, everyone uses my finger snap as a signal. As soon as I snap my fingers, they will stop." Hervey shrugged.

"When we become successful and no longer need to do this kind of work, we will definitely get together and chat for a whole year."

Why do you sound like you're raising a flag? It's a bit unlucky.

Seeing Hervey turn around and call everyone to walk towards the courtyard, Todd could not help but follow. When he thought about the ground collapsing next, he felt a little scared and regretted why he didn't learn how to fly well.

When they walked into the courtyard.

"boom--"

The ground rumbled, but it wasn't because the brick and stone ground was about to collapse.

But it was because a huge figure fell from the sky!

Because everyone predicted that the ground would collapse, they tried to avoid the center. Fortunately, they were not hit by the giant fat man-like figure that fell from the sky. However, the other party suddenly swung the big club in his hand and swept everyone away!

It was only at this time that people realized that the monster appearing before them was a monster that looked somewhat familiar.

【Demon of the Undead Asylum】

Green skin, a bulging body, and a head that is so ugly that it is unbearable to look at. This thing perfectly fits people's stereotype of the devil.

In the pigeon level of the Sen Dungeon, this guy sometimes appears as an elite monster in the tunnel, so it is not surprising that the Spark Knights have seen him.

"Asshole, didn't any of us look up?"

Hervey, who was swept away by the Undead Asylum Demon's big club, happened to look up at the sky. He guessed that the Undead Asylum Demon was standing on the high city wall opposite, waiting for them to fall into its trap. Standing at the place where everyone had just pushed open the door, his figure was blocked.

But once they come out, you can see them by just raising your head!

Haven't adventurers ever looked up since ancient times?

"Boom! Boom!"

There were sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground on both sides of the courtyard. The doors on both sides were closed, and the iron fences fell down heavily as they expected.

The gate and doorway they came from were blocked by the rising white smoke, turning into a white fog door that had not been seen for a long time. A feeling of nostalgia arose in Hervey's heart. He had not entered the Sen Dungeon for a long time and had not seen the white fog door.

However, the next second, this feeling of nostalgia was shattered by a big club.

"boom!"

The big club hit the ground, shaking the entire courtyard, but he managed to dodge it before being hit. An auxiliary magic that could speed up the element landed on him just as he had dodged it. He was about to see who among his men was so slow, but he didn't expect it was Todd who did it.

"Thank you." He nodded to express his gratitude, raised his armored fist and smashed it into the belly of the Undead Asylum demon.

"Duang~"

When the fist collided with the belly, a very strange sound seemed to be made.

A sudden burst of elastic force launched Hervey into the air and directly hit the iron fence of the side door.

He himself was stunned.

"What's going on?"

The Undead Asylum demons he had fought before didn't have such a big and elastic stomach. In fact, their stomachs were their weaknesses.

Todd had already run far away at this time, and the Spark Knights surrounded the Undead Asylum demons and prepared to attack. Judging from their posture, they looked quite professional and it was obvious that they had been trained.

The demons in the Undead Asylum are obviously of the type with great strength. This type of monsters often show a common characteristic when facing organized adventurers - recklessness!

It struggled to jump up with its fat legs, and used its own weight as a weapon to smash into the Spark Knight opposite.

This move was very slow and of course could not hit the target, but it caused a huge earthquake when it landed, and people who were close to it were shaking and unable to stand steadily.

At that moment, it swung the club at a speed beyond what was expected for a creature of its size, and was about to smash the nearest person into a pulp.

But the man's figure turned into smoke and disappeared in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it was Hervey who pulled him aside.

The combat skill he just used was [Hound Step]!

"Luckily I took the time to learn Hound Step. This combat technique is still so powerful."

He turned to look at the Undead Asylum Demon, waved his hand and shouted:

"superior!"

Following Hervey's order, the scattered Spark Knights rushed forward in an orderly manner to fight, relying only on their own bodies as weapons.

This was the first time that adventurers had encountered weapons being confiscated in the Senn dungeon. An ordinary person would probably be at a loss as to what to do.

As Spark Knights who had participated in wars before, they found some things that could be used as weapons according to local conditions, such as bricks removed from the walls, and pieces of feces picked up after killing zombie soldiers.

Specifically throw it into the mouth of the demon in the Undead Asylum!

The demons in the Undead Asylum were indeed enraged by this group of humanoid "peach-haired beasts". They swung their clubs vigorously, and the whole courtyard was shaking violently. Todd in the distance was trembling and could not stand steadily.

The Spark Knights displayed surprising combat qualities at this time.

Surprisingly, they were all agile fighters. Hervey had already mastered the hound steps. Although the rest were not as skilled as him, they had also mastered the lower-level small steps. Coupled with the acceleration magic that Todd cast on everyone before he was afraid of fighting, it was easy for them to deal with the Undead Asylum demons whose moves were mostly slow and clumsy.

But unfortunately, with their weapons confiscated, the Sun Warriors had no way to use their standard lightning guns, otherwise the battle would have ended quickly.

The only disadvantage of relying on weapons and equipment in the Sion Dungeon to unleash combat skills and magic is that if you don't learn and master them yourself, then losing your weapons will be equivalent to having your account washed out.

Even a magician of Todd's level can still cast some emergency magic with reduced power after losing his magic wand.

As the battle lasted longer, the situation on the battlefield changed.

People get tired. After relying on their high mobility to pull the Undead Demons for a while, the Spark Knights finally felt powerless because.

"We've been fighting for so long, but have we really caused any harm to the other side?"

The Spark Knight looked at the still "smooth and intact" skin of the Undead Asylum Demon and couldn't help but question his life.

This monster is ridiculously fleshy!

That's right, it's not hard, it's meat! So much fat that it becomes a perfect protective layer, significantly reducing the impact of blunt blows like punches!

"We need stronger weapons. Even if a broken sword comes at this time, I can kill him." Hervey gritted his teeth.

Everyone's fatigue was increasing with every second, but the demons in the Undead Asylum seemed to have unlimited energy. The moves that seemed harmless before now looked more and more dangerous and gradually became impossible to deal with.

"It's over, it's over again!"

Todd had been using some offensive magic to assist, but without the staff, the power was too small. It was a little stronger than a fist, but the strength was limited. His magic power was almost exhausted!

At this extremely dangerous moment, he suddenly heard unusual noises coming from the side, and turned around to look over with confusion.

"It's you!" he couldn't help but shout out.

He saw the Astra Knight who had thrown him the key in the cell earlier.

It's in a side door closed by iron bars!

The knight waved at him, and some mechanism was triggered, but the iron gate opened!

"Everyone, you can run out the side door!" Todd shouted immediately and ran to the side door first.

Seeing that the Undead Asylum Demon was still harassing everyone, the knight rushed out of the side door and threw a fire pot at the opponent. The explosive high temperature immediately made the Undead Asylum Demon roar in pain.

"Good, very powerful!" Hervey couldn't help but praise.

The nameless Senior Knight Astra nodded at them, turned around and ran into the side door.

People took advantage of the moment when the demons in the Undead Asylum were burned and ran to the side door, and finally all rushed in without any danger.

The demon from the Undead Asylum rammed the big club into the side door with all its might, but the building quality here seemed to be very strong, and even it couldn't break the wall.

After rushing through the side door and running a little further, Hervey saw something nostalgic.

That was the long-lost bonfire!

He immediately rushed over and lit it. A familiar temperature came from the flames, and the noise brought by the demons in the Undead Asylum was immediately replaced by the crackling sound of the burning bonfire, which made people feel infinitely at ease.

People immediately sat down around the campfire to rest. The space was a bit crowded, so those who sat down squeezed each other's shoulders, otherwise they would not be able to see the flames.

"The person who opened the door for us just now was the one who lost the key to you, right?" Hervey looked at Todd.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that I still couldn't catch up with him this time." Todd said regretfully.

"I have a feeling he'll be a helper in our adventure here, or at least get some good stuff." The Spark Knight on Hervey's left had an "I understand" expression on his face.

"Do you understand now? Who said the ground would collapse? Why don't you just look up at the sky?" said the person on Hervey's right.

"You didn't see it either, and you're still blaming me? If you hadn't almost thrown that piece of shit in my face just now, I could have hit the monster on the head with a brick."

"Heh, I lost my way because you didn't follow my instructions, didn't you?"

The two of them leaned back and pushed each other's shoulders in an awkward position, like children having a tantrum.

"Can we please stop making trouble? After all, we are all adults who have experienced war." Hervey acted as a mediator with a helpless look on his face.

Then the two men began to squeeze his shoulders together, sharing a common hatred for the enemy.

Finally, all the Spark Knights who had formed a circle squeezed together and solidified into cocoons, talking and laughing, as if it were some kind of mysterious ritual.

"I don't understand how you can still laugh at this time." Forced to be squeezed in the middle, the weak magician Todd could only complain.

It can be seen that the people in the Spark Church have a good relationship with each other.

But in such an atmosphere, Todd would only feel very uncomfortable.

After they had rested, everyone got up and set off. The demons from the Undead Asylum were still guarding outside, so the only place they could go was inside the building which was led by the side door.

At this time, a piece of advice left by an unknown person appeared on the ground ahead of everyone.

[There is a warehouse ahead, it's time to take back the weapons]

"It must have been left by that knight!" Todd actually looked a little happy, without even realizing it.

"That man must be a Sun Warrior," said the Spark Knights.

"It feels like the first time I met Solar. Could it be that the Thane Dungeon likes to preserve the traces of ancient people with noble character?" Hervey rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said:

"If I actively help others here, will Sean leave my afterimage behind in the future?"

"That's impossible no matter how you think about it."

Todd muttered something, thinking the idea was a bit far-fetched, and turned to walk towards the corner ahead marked as a warehouse.

Less than a second later, he ran back from the corner, his face pale.

"What's wrong?" Hervey looked at him puzzled.

"Black, black"

Todd's teeth were chattering with fear.

"Black Knight!"
