231. Chapter 231 Manor



Since it is meaningless, stop loss quickly.

Although Mattia looked unwilling, he took a step back very quickly and gradually disappeared into the shadows.

The whole process was full of surprise. Fana and Stephana were fighting with the black-robed archers, while Richard's vision was blocked by the poisonous spring.

After a few seconds, Richard realized that there was no trace of Mattia.

However, he did not dare to take it lightly and remained highly vigilant.

Since Mattia couldn't find it right away, the poisonous spring in front of him was the first target to be killed.

The Poison Spring Flower was indeed a first-level advanced mutant elemental creature. It took Richard a lot of effort to successfully kill it.

Of course, part of the reason lies with Richard himself.

Richard's only offensive talent magic is "Mental Shock".

This spiritual-type innate witchcraft is more inclined towards controlling the situation when fighting against enemies of similar level.

Because after the mental shock hits the enemy, it will often only cause severe mental pain or shock to opponents of similar strength, which will manifest itself in the form of making the enemy temporarily dizzy for a few seconds.

In terms of lethality, it is inferior to some purely offensive elemental witchcraft.

In addition, Richard's own undead summon, the Wraith Abomination, without the wraith in its stomach, can be said to be a 100% and very pure summon that mainly uses physical attacks.

This can be very useful in certain situations, but it can also be very unpleasant in certain situations.

For example, in the current situation, it is not very useful, because the Wraith Abomination is facing a pure elemental creature, which is also poisonous.

With the help of Richard, who occasionally used mental shocks to interrupt the innate abilities of the Poison Spring Surger, the Wraith Abomination took the opportunity to rush forward and fiercely attacked the Poison Spring Surger with a giant iron axe and chain ball! However, even when the Poison Spring Surger was stunned from time to time and could not effectively counterattack, the Wraith Abomination still killed 1,000 enemies but lost 800 of its own.

Every time the Wraith Abomination chopped, the poisonous blue liquid would splash everywhere. A lot of it would splash onto his arms and even his body, making a hissing corrosive sound.

And every time the Poison Spring Flower endures the hateful blows of the wicked spirits, it will consume energy to reorganize and replenish its body.

So, it becomes a war of attrition.

Two minutes later, the Wrathful Abomination chopped the Poison Spring into small pieces for the seventeenth time, and finally reduced the Poison Spring from more than three meters high to more than one meter high, greatly reducing its combat effectiveness.

But the vengeful spirit hated his own body, which had already been corroded in a large area, including his hands, chest, and other parts. As long as the mimicry metal did not protect him, there were pits of corrosion, just like the skin that had been doused with a large dose of concentrated sulfuric acid.

Especially on the arms, large pieces of skin fell off, revealing yellow fat and even scarlet muscle tissue.

The black-robed archer on the roof who was expecting a counterattack seemed to realize that it was impossible, and immediately threw a bottle of poisonous smoke at his feet. Under the cover of the light green poisonous smoke, he quickly broke away from the fight with Fana and Stephania and left the scene.

Fana and Stephana did not chase the enemy, but quickly came down and joined Richard to attack the Poison Spring together.

Under the combined attack of the three, after a while, the one surging from the poisonous spring let out a scream on a spiritual level!

The light blue liquid no longer had the energy to form a human shape and turned into a pool of blue liquid, gradually seeping into the ground until it disappeared without a trace.

The originally green lawn was corroded into a large, charred, pungent area.

However, on this charred ground, there was a light blue, fist-sized crystal core left, which was quite eye-catching.

Richard took a look and was quite interested. This thing seemed to be the energy core of the poisonous fountain just now. He wondered if he could use it to imitate the group venom attack of the poisonous fountain.

He glanced at the tall and fat abomination of resentment beside him.

If we could simulate the gushing of poisonous fountains on the body of the Hateful Spirit, it would be an enhanced version of the Bile Spitter.

A bile spitter is an abomination that can spew out a mixture of bile that is highly corrosive.

But obviously, the poisonous attack of the Poison Spring Spouter is better than the Bile Spouter! However, how to transform it still needs to be studied carefully.

Seeing Richard staring at the light blue crystal core on the ground, Fana immediately warned him, "Levi, be careful. The crystal core of a qualified poison spring surger is highly toxic. When picking it up, remember not to touch it directly."

Richard nodded, and skillfully used the zero-level witchcraft Shadow Grip to form a large black hand. He collected the poisonous crystal core and placed it in the box. At the same time, he waved his hand, allowing the vengeful abomination to return to the world of the dead to recuperate.

"Master, these are from two people."

At this time, Stephanie had already picked up the spoils of the black-robed man with two swords, as well as the black-robed man who appeared first and used sonic attacks - two bulging waist bags.

Richard waved his hand and did not take it, "Stephanie, please keep it for us first."

Then he turned to Fana and said, "Fana, let's first find out who these two people are."

"I'm also curious, who attacked us? Was it the Jade Fire Cult?" When talking about the Jade Fire Cult, a rare look of anger was hidden on Fana's delicate face.

Although Richard already had some guesses about the enemy's origins, some things were best verified on the spot.

Richard walked up to the man in black robe with two swords and used the long sword transformed from camouflage metal to lift the hood on the man's head.

A rough human male face appeared in front of the three people.

Obviously, this was a bit beyond Richard's expectations, and the three of them looked at each other in surprise.

As if he had thought of something, Richard immediately squatted down and flipped the other person's eyelids.

"It's actually a human from underground?"

Richard thought that the assassin this time must be a night elf, but he didn't expect it to be an underground human male.

As for whether the other party is a surface human or an underground human, this is also very easy to identify.

The complexions of underground humans are generally pale because they do not see sunlight for years.

In addition, the eyes of the underground humans have mutated, and their pupils are vertical like those of many nocturnal creatures.

After checking the man with dual swords, Richard and the other two came to the black-robed man who was launching the sonic attack.

After an inspection, the pointed ears proved that the person in black robe was undoubtedly a night elf woman.

Although she has a beautiful face, judging from the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she seems to be very old.

No wonder even with such strong strength, she was not appreciated by the mistress and was transformed into a high-level spider woman.

Otherwise, it is possible to extract a portion of Spider Woman's blood from the opponent's body, thereby further increasing Stephanie's blood concentration.

However , after the last increase in blood concentration, Stephanie herself also felt that the effect of this enhanced blood concentration would be lower and lower for her.

Of course, this was also within Richard's expectations.

As Stephanie's own blood concentration increases, the improvement brought by this source blood to her will definitely decrease day by day, until it has no effect at all.

"Levi, is this the night elf assassin you mentioned last time who ambushed you on the street a few days ago?" Fana asked Richard with a serious expression.

The strength of the assassins was a little beyond Fana's expectations. There was hardly any mediocre one among them, and each of them was a high-level wizard of the first level.

In the world of killers, these are quite explosive existences and can be said to be at the level of top killers.

"Why did they want to assassinate you?"

Fana hesitated for a while, but finally asked the question.

Although she also knew that this question was relatively private and had the implication of probing into other people's privacy.

Richard didn't think much of it. After all, he was currently staying temporarily at Fana's residence. It was reasonable for the other party to ask the reason for such an issue involving his own safety.

Moreover, even if Fana didn't ask, Richard would tell her.

Although this reason is half true and half false!

"Yes, it was probably for revenge! Before."

Richard repeated what he had said in Hawkins' office. ——A manor outside the city of Tug.

The manor is quite large, covering approximately a thousand acres. In the center of the entire manor, there is a two-story villa with a dark gray stone exterior wall.

What is surprising is that, unlike ordinary manors, which would place the flame stone near the owner's villa, the villa in this manor is hidden in the shadow of the dense forest, far away from the area illuminated by the flame stone.

It seems that the owner of this villa does not like light, but prefers shadows.

In the villa's underground wine cellar, a mysterious hooded man whose face could not be seen was shaking the red liquid in a glass with his white, slender fingers.

The red liquid exudes a strong wine aroma, but if you smell it carefully, you can also smell a faint smell of blood.

At this time, a man in a black robe knocked on the door, stepped into the wine cellar, bowed and said respectfully:

"Lord Herara, the Dark Bow team's assassination mission has failed. Claudia and Mattia are waiting outside your study now."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the underground wine cellar became tense.

The mysterious hooded man named Herara came to the study on the second floor and began to listen to the reports of Claudia and Mattia, nicknamed "Dark Bow".

"Lord Hera, the Darkbow Squad misjudged the strength of that human necromancer. In the last battle, the other party deliberately concealed his true strength. That's why two members of the Darkbow Squad were killed in this attack."

Mattia spoke before the other party could ask any questions.

“Mattia, if you hadn’t been careless when cooperating with the opponent, how could you have given the opponent the opportunity to take advantage of you? That dwarf witch would never have been able to escape.” Claudia said angrily.

Claudia was furious at this moment. Two of her companions who had worked together for several years died in the battle just now.

In the battle just now, if Mattia had been more serious at the beginning and had joined forces to attack the dwarf female wizard, the whole battle would not have collapsed to this point even though the strength of the human undead wizard in the end exceeded expectations.

Listening to the quarrel between her two subordinates, Helala's white fingers kept tapping rhythmically on the dark wooden handle of the chair.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Slowly, Claudia and Mattia stopped arguing.

A slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Mattia, is that so?"

"Lord Ehlala, I... But even if I took action, it was too late, and..." Mattia explained.

But after he had said just one sentence, Hera waved her hand to signal him to stop talking and keep silent! The next second! A dark light flashed, and a blood mark appeared on Mattia's face. It was so fast that Mattia had almost no reaction!

A trickle of blood slowly flowed out of the wound, but Mattia didn't dare to explain anything at this moment! "I don't want to hear excuses. Failure is failure. Since failure, you must be punished." Hera's indifferent purple eyes stared at Mattia, which immediately made Mattia feel as scared as if he was being stared at by a giant beast.

In his mind, he was thinking, "Isn't Hera's strength only at the top level of level one? Could it be that she has improved to level two? This kind of aura is definitely not at the top level of level one."

Helala pulled a note out of the drawer and handed it to Mattia.

"Mattia, take a look for yourself. This is the letter that Benita, the mistress of the Price family, gave me."

"I will give you another chance. If you fail again, I will have you go to the Price family and explain to Madam Benita in person. I don't want to bear her wrath, haha!"

Matisse was instantly startled, and took the note with great trepidation, only to see that it read:

"My dear sister Herala, the Nightmare Mirror has been stolen! I asked Grace to find it, but the mission failed and she disappeared. I also sent Samaresh, but there was still no response. Tug City is under your jurisdiction, I hope you can help me find the Nightmare Mirror as soon as possible! Love you, Benita."

After reading the letter, Mathis frowned and remained silent. It was obvious that Herara's intention of showing him this secret letter was to put pressure on him.

It seems that the several originally planned solutions for buck-passing and wrangling are currently unworkable.

I had no choice but to accept it.

"Lord Herara, this operation has failed. The other side will definitely strengthen their defense, so the difficulty of the assassination has increased further. I need your support!" Mathis bowed.

Although he spoke very respectfully, he was cursing in his heart. Claudia is your direct descendant, so this difficult task was given to him.

"Oh, then what are your plans? The organization is currently short of manpower, and I can't spare too many people to help you complete this task." Hearing this, Helala crossed her white hands across her chest.

Mattis was well aware of this, and what Herara said was not entirely an excuse.

The night elves are currently fighting on two fronts. The battle with the surface humans is extremely fierce, and there are also minor frictions with the gray dwarves, but the overall intensity is not too bad.

Their organization deserves some credit for this.
