Field internship (2)

Deep in the forest, Alex and Inger crouched in the bushes, with a pile of monster corpses on the path behind them.

I had to clean up on the way here.

Inger looked up and saw through the gaps between the trees that Finne was circling in the sky with its wings spread.

Alex asked softly, "Is it okay to put it up there?"

"It's okay. The only students who are capable of shooting down Finne are Uriel and Cheryl. They are very familiar with Finne."

Alex then continued to squat in the grass and survey with his naked eyes.

Because as soon as Inger's detection magic is extended, it will be detected by the red baby beast.

Inger frowned and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember why the red baby beast was frightened? The students here don't dare to go deep into the forest."

Alex's eyes narrowed, "Found it!"

“Where?!”

Inger followed the direction Alex pointed and saw a plant that looked like a loquat tree. In the Monster Forest where tall trees rose from the ground, the plant was not really that big.

However, beneath that ordinary tree lies a veritable monster.

“See that flower up there?”

Popcorn-like flowers cluster among the branches.

"I know that the flower emits a strange fragrance that humans cannot smell, but monsters and beasts can. They will automatically avoid this area, which is why the Red Baby Beast has been sleeping here for many years."

"right."

"Who on earth caused it to startle?"

Alex shook his head. "We searched the place after the monster riot ended, but to no avail. All traces had been cleared away by monsters long ago."

Inger felt the shadow hanging over his heart grow larger, but for now he had to deal with this guy first.

"How is it? Can you handle it?"

Alex turned around and smiled, his dimples on the sides of his cheeks sunk in. "That depends on you. I have confidence in you."

Inger sighed and raised his wand.

"Building a magic circle directly on it will attract its attention. I will build it first and then use the teleportation magic circle to teleport the sleep magic circle over."

"You can do this?!" Alex was surprised.

"You better think about how to pull it out!"

The body of the Red Infant Beast is underground.

"Well, expand the scope a little bit. It's bigger than you think."

When he first got the Dawn, he was not familiar with how to use it. The increase in magic power allowed him to use less magic power to create a larger magic circle, but he was not sure about the amount of control. After many experiments, he gradually became familiar with it.

Inger expanded the circle as Alex said. After everything was ready, he nodded to Alex and teleported the magic circle over.

Nothing happened.

Inger was worried.

Because the original state of the Red Infant Beast was sleeping, he just added a layer of insurance to prevent it from being easily startled.

"Let's try it first, just in case?" Inger said.

Alex nodded.

He shot out a larger magic flame, which flew towards the Zhuying beast's perception area and landed under the Zhuying tree.

The fire ignited some dead branches and leaves with a crackling sound, but was extinguished by the damp soil.

The wind is calm and the trees are still.

After a full minute, Alex picked up the sword and said, "Then I'll go."

Inger was still worried and held Dawn tightly in his hands.

Alex quickly and quietly sneaked under the red baby tree, raised his sword, and a brilliant golden light suddenly rose from the sword.

He thrust the sword into the ground hard, hard, and fast.

After a second or two of silence, the soil inside Fangyuan Angduo began to crack inch by inch, and golden light shot out from the cracks.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!”

Thick clods of earth splashed.

Inger was startled.

Then Alex hugged the trunk of the red baby tree.

"Yes! Strengthen me! I don't have enough strength!"

Inger quickly cast a buff magic circle on him to increase his strength.

Alex held his breath, his face flushed, his arm muscles tensed, and with a burst of strength, he pulled the entire red baby tree out of the ground along with the huge creature under the ground in front of Inger's stunned gaze.

Alex placed it gently on the ground.

Inger walked over carefully and saw the true face of the red baby beast.

Although I have seen this in comics, the outcomes of three-dimensional and two-dimensional things are very different.

The body of the Red Baby Beast is hidden underground, with a tree rooted on its head and growing out of the ground. Its body is like a newborn baby with no eyes, only ears and a big mouth. Its flesh is soft and light vermilion in color, but it is three centimeters tall, like a giant baby.

This big mouth, once opened, calls out.

It will trigger a riot among the monsters in the entire Monster Forest, arouse the monsters' frenzy, and the monsters' hooves will flatten the town at the foot of the mountain.

The red baby beast slept soundly because Inger had generously used a lot of magic power to bless it.

It had all four limbs, and the dirt on its body didn't stick to it, but kept sliding off. It put its fingers in its mouth and sucked them, just like a very harmless human baby.

Inger frowned, feeling a little disgusted.

Alex glanced at Inger, who turned his head away.

Alex raised his sword and swung it down.

All Inger heard was the sound of blood spurting.

Inger turned his head and saw a large piece of meat chopped into several pieces, and gray crystals embedded in the meat.

There were no bones or dirty organs in the piece of meat, only a sticky mass of red and white meat wriggling.

Alex dug out all the crystals, wiped them clean, and finally cut down the entire Red Baby Tree from its top.

"Yes, burn it."

Inger nodded and ignited a fire despite his disgust.

The red baby beast melted and evaporated in the high temperature flames, leaving no ashes behind.

Inger looked at the transparent and clean steam and breathed a sigh of relief.

【It’s best if nothing happens. 】

“Bang!”

A sharp air explosion sound pierced my ears.

Before Inger could react, Alex suddenly threw him to the ground.

The two rolled on the ground twice, and Alex stood up from his knees, holding Inger in his arms.

A spear split the trunk of a huge tree behind them, and the huge force caused the spear to tremble even after it stopped.

Inger raised his wand and deployed multiple layers of defense barriers and optical cloaking barriers.

"The opponent is a high-level knight." Alex said quickly.

Inger's heart suddenly began to hang in the air.

Optical cloaking can only conceal one's sight, but high-level knights are extremely sensitive to the slightest sounds, movements, and flow of magical energy, so it's useless.

The magic power contained in the spear just now was enough to break through the triple defense barrier, but it was useless.

"You go and notify Professor Obide to come for rescue, I'll go and catch him." Alex rushed forward without hesitation, sword in hand.

Inger also stood up without hesitation, dropped his wand, and drew a teleportation circle.

But just as he was about to leave, Alex's back pushed towards him - or rather, he was kicked back by a huge force.

"ah!"

The two fell to the ground again.

As they rolled, Alex gritted his teeth and stretched out his arms to hug Inger's body. Inger held the wand tightly, and his palms ached.

As soon as they stopped, Alex raised half of his knees, hugged Inger hard and threw him to the side again.

Then two deep sword marks were carved on the place where they had just landed.

A murderous intent that penetrated his bones turned into reality and opened up his crown.

Inger's hair stood on end.

"Eighth-level knight! How is that possible!" he screamed.

"Yes! Run!" Alex roared. He pushed Inger's back hard and rushed towards the source of murderous intent again.

Inger trembled, hit his limp legs hard, straightened his legs, and when he stood up, he saw a figure not far away.

Black hair, green eyes, tall and muscular body slightly hunched, agile and nimble, with a spear in each hand.

He recognized it.

The fourth prince, Rudolf.

[Why! Why are you here now! ]

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

The sounds of weapons clashing rang out one after another. The speed at which the two men attacked was so fast that it was difficult to catch with the naked eye. It seemed that they had fought dozens of times in just a few breaths.

Although Alex has decades of experience and mastered swordsmanship, Rodolph is now an eighth-level knight whose speed and strength are enough to crush him.

The seventh-level knight, as the protagonist, has a halo and a golden finger of rebirth, and seems to be able to challenge higher-level opponents. However, the eighth level is a completely different field.

But in the comics, Rudolph should only be at level seven at this stage! Why is it only level eight?

Alex is just struggling now.

As the two men clashed, blood spurted out—it was all Alex's blood.

Rudolf acted decisively, and every move was intended to kill him.

Even so, Alex tried his best to give Inger a chance to escape.

Inger knew this, too.

Even though I knew it in my heart, when I forced myself to take that step, my body froze in vain.

The body's instincts are now more rational than the brain.

He was now within his own invisibility circle.

Entering the realm of an eighth-level knight, he instinctively understood that if he moved even a small step now, he would be instantly pierced by another spear in the opponent's hand.

But before that, he will see Alex's body.

Inger gritted his teeth, turned around, faced where the two men were fighting, and quickly and accurately threw the gravity-enhancing magic circle over there.

【It would be nice if I could help a little bit! 】

However, Rudolf easily dodged the circle during his fight with Alex.

Inger's face turned pale.

He underestimated the eighth-level knight.

During the final test, Professor Obed did not fight him seriously and did not have any intention to kill him.

This attack speed is no different from a snail crawling for an eighth-level knight.

Inger trembled as he turned his hand and applied multiple enhancements to Alex.

While Rudolph was fighting with Alex, a crazy and terrifying smile appeared on his face, and the red bloodshot in his eyes was clearly visible.

He didn't utter a single word, but the ruthless and brutal movements of his hands clearly stated "I'm going to kill you".

Alex struggled under his hands with wounds all over his body, barely saving his life.

Inger held a handful of magic stones in one hand, held the dawn in the other, and chanted a spell madly.

He wants to build a huge random teleportation array with Rudolf as the only target!

He no longer spends time looking for a teleport location, the faster the better!

The direction is west! The farther the better!

The battle did not take as long as expected.

“Shua—bang bang bang!”

The body flew out and smashed three huge trees in half.

Alex's eyes went dark and he spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

Inger heard the horrifying sound of bones cracking, and his heart stopped.

He saw a spear wrapped in fiery red magic tearing through his vision.

At that moment, it seemed as if time slowed down hundreds of times.

He could see the enormous magical power in the spear, and foresaw that its penetrating power could instantly pierce through multiple defensive barriers and easily smash the skull of the blond protagonist lying there.

【Can't.】

He raised his hand subconsciously.

The spear whizzed past, and when it was only a piece of paper away from Alex's forehead, it passed through the teleportation circle, and the huge magic power and penetrating power disappeared along with the spear itself.

At the same time, another large magic circle was constructed.

The moment he threw out the spear, Rodolph lowered his head and finally noticed the light of the magic circle that had lit up under his feet.

His pupils shrank and he was about to retreat, but the range was too large and it was too late. In the blink of an eye, he was engulfed by the light of the magic circle.

Before disappearing, he looked over there and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

The crow-feather black hair and deep green eyes that fluttered wildly in the magic were like an unknown omen in a fairy tale.

Inger's breath hitched.

He looked at Alex, whose head was nearly smashed, and then at his own hands, which were shaking uncontrollably.

My mind is blank.

Just now, if he had reacted just a little bit slower, Alex would have died.

[But he is the male protagonist? How could the male protagonist die? ]

His mind was so confused that he temporarily forgot to remember a fact.

In the comic book "Gift of Dawn", at the end of the first part, the male protagonist died.

Then he felt a warm, sticky liquid welling up in his nose and throat.

He looked down and saw the bloody spear blade piercing through his chest.
