Phew!

The silver sword first cut off the right arm of the evil ghost that was rushing towards him, and then cut into his chest.

At the same time, Livia dodged the left claw that was grabbing at him, and then tried to draw out the silver sword to give it the final blow.

Um?

Livia's already pale face turned even paler. Because he couldn't keep up with the follow-up strength, the silver sword was stuck in the chest of the evil ghost in front of him and couldn't be pulled out completely.

Before he could recover his strength and continue to exert force, the other evil ghosts around him had already surrounded him and attacked him.

roar!

roar!

roar!

Listening to the roars coming from both sides and the stench that filled his nose, Livia looked a little ugly. He exerted all his strength to finally pull out the silver sword that was stuck in his chest, and staggered backwards.

Although he looked like he was about to fall, he finally managed to avoid the attacks of the two evil ghosts around him.

Livia managed to keep her balance with her heels on the muddy ground, and did not fall down.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

"He opened his mouth and took a deep breath, and then he almost couldn't stand.

My knees kept trembling slightly, and I could hear groans from all over my body as if I couldn't bear the heavy burden. Just standing like this, I felt piercing pain all over my body every second.

Looking at the evil spirits surrounding him again, Livia took a deep breath. His body was already at its limit, but he could only hold on in this situation.

Livia did not choose to fight these evil spirits head-on, and he slowly retreated. After seeing the companion who had just launched the attack lying on the ground wailing with serious injuries, the evil spirits did not attack him all at once, but slowly surrounded and approached him, while constantly roaring at Livia or his companions beside him.

These guys are surprisingly smart and know how to seek benefits and avoid harm and let other companions go first.

In this way, Livia kept regulating his breathing and slowly retreated, and in front of him, five evil ghosts were approaching closely following his footsteps, forming an extremely strange scene. "

Huh, huh…

"Even if it was just a slow retreat, it was a heavy burden on Livia's current body. From time to time, there were creaking sounds from the joints of the body, and the taut strings seemed to be about to break at any time.

But Livia was not worried. His attention was focused on the glowing numbers at the bottom of his sight.

[Mission 4: Eliminate the Gray Demon Forest bandit gang.]

Completion rate: 83%] Mission 4 had reached 80% completion when Livia slashed the evil spirit’s chest with the silver sword, but he was not in a hurry to complete it. Although the current situation was urgent, it was not a matter of life and death, so he planned to wait a while. After all, the higher the progress, the higher the reward.

However, after the progress reached 83%, it no longer increased as before, but just kept flashing, as if it was going to jump to 84% but it didn't reach 84%. I think the progress that can be achieved under the current situation is probably at most 83% or 84%. After all, more than ten people ran over to the northern hillside, and if some more people ran over to Natalia's side, the progress would naturally not be able to increase any further.

But it was enough, Livia quickly confirmed it in her mind and received it.

[Mission 4: Eliminate the Gray Demon Forest bandit gang.]

Completion rate: 83%.

[Rewards: attribute points × 5, combat skill points × 2, owl potions × 2.] Looking at the rewards that were finally determined after the data changes, Livia quickly received them and spent four of the newly awarded attribute points on physical fitness.

[Constitution increased by 2 points, currently: 24.6.] Feeling a surge of power in her body again, Livia looked at the evil spirits in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief.

After improving his physical fitness by two points, he was at least able to stand firmly and swing the sword, and he had some confidence and assurance when facing these evil spirits.

As the power surged out of nowhere, not only did he feel excruciating pain and weakness all over his body, but he also felt a slight itchy pain, as if many ants were crawling on the wound.

After Livia knew this, his physical condition suddenly improved and his physical injuries naturally recovered. In fact, if he used the two combat skill points he had obtained, according to his previous muscle memory, he could also improve some attributes. However, he did not forget that in addition to the improvement in attributes, there would also be memories about swordsmanship or techniques instilled into his mind.

If that happened, he would definitely be stunned for a moment, and in the current situation, as long as he showed the slightest flaw, these hyena-like evil spirits in front of him would definitely attack him.

This is also the reason why he did not add the few skill points of the Sign before. Otherwise, if he had chosen the Quen or Axi Sign, these evil spirits would basically not be a threat to him.

But now that I have recovered a little, I will be able to deal with them, Livia thought secretly.

Silently adding the last attribute point to the seal and raising the seal power to fourteen, Livia suddenly took a step towards the evil ghost in front.

Although he was still not very stable, he was no longer shaking like before and looked like he would fall down at any time. Holding the silver sword under his armpit, he stretched out his bloody left palm in front of him.

Igni Sign!

The flames swept towards the evil ghosts who had not yet reacted.

The evil ghosts were frightened by the sudden flames that attacked them, and they retreated screaming.

clang!

The silver sword flew through the air, stabbed out from behind the flames, and went straight into the eye socket of an evil ghost, causing its scream to stop abruptly.

While the other evil spirits were still not able to react, Livia took a step forward and slashed down again without having time to adjust his disordered breathing.

However, Livia had only recovered a little strength, and he was holding the sword with his left hand. After all, his entire right arm could not move, so the sword could not penetrate the evil ghost's exaggerated and deformed chin.

Seeing this, Livia could only force it out diagonally, and fortunately it didn't get stuck like before.

The evil ghost howled miserably, and its jaw fell to the ground when Livia drew his sword.

Livia staggered back a few steps, then stopped, lowered her head and breathed deeply, her hair completely wet with sweat.

The remaining three evil ghosts scattered in panic. They were only slightly burned by the flames, and without sufficient power of the seal to support them, the sparks and flames on their bodies were quickly extinguished.

Afterwards, the evil ghost whose jaw was cut off and the other three evil ghosts still looked at and surrounded him, but they dared not approach him again. Although they had some wisdom, they could not figure out with their intelligence why this human being, who looked as weak as the prey that fell under their claws before, could emit flames and kill their two companions in a short time.

In this stalemate, Livia managed to calm her breathing, looked at the evil spirits around her, and took another sudden step forward.

Igni Sign!

The flames that seemed unusually bright in the darkness appeared again, but this time they failed to burn them. They only scared them and made them jump loudly and retreat continuously.

I don't know which evil ghost it was, but it suddenly let out a sharp cry, and then they all turned around and went back into the woods when they came from.
