The Last Alchemist

"Hey~ do you really want to go there?"

Rosen walked a few steps when Mobius's voice suddenly came from behind him. When he looked back, he saw Mobius hiding behind a corner, his eyes flickering. When Rosen looked over, he shifted his gaze slightly, not daring to look at Rosen.

"Mobius, are you a coward?" Rosen's face turned cold.

A trace of anger flashed across Mobius's face. He leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to rush out of the corner where he was hiding, but in the end, his feet still didn't take a step forward; Roots grew in the snow.

"Rosen, it's not that I'm timid, it's that the situation is too dangerous. You know, there are hundreds of advanced aliens near the college! Do you know about advanced aliens? Undead, dragons, advanced werewolves, ghost babies, tin orcs , each one is very powerful, and each one has the same power as me. If we go over, we will be torn into pieces by them within seconds!"

"Really?" Rosen was slightly startled. He felt that the situation was getting more and more difficult.

Mobius rubbed his bare head hard with both hands, with a look of helplessness and bitterness on his face: "It's absolutely true. How could I lie at a time like this? Besides, that damn Leon is also over there, I can't wait to eat it His flesh, drink his blood, but if we rush over now, there is really no difference between us and death!"

After what he said, Rosen calmed down a little. Although he was anxious, he had not lost his mind, so he would not do such an obvious act of seeking death.

However, it was impossible for him to give up rescuing Annie.

Just like when Annie saved him at Laplace Manor, she knew that the road ahead was dangerous, but she still had to try her best.

After thinking about it, a light suddenly flashed in Rosen's mind: "Why do we have to find that Leon? These high-level aliens are very powerful monsters, and they must be the elite of this attack on the city. I sneaked to the periphery and casually If you catch one, you will definitely get valuable information from his mouth!”

Furthermore, they only operate on the periphery. Even if they are accidentally exposed, they will not be trapped in a tight siege and there will always be a chance to escape.

Rosen immediately told Mobius his thoughts.

After hearing this, Mobius looked a little strange. He glanced at Rosen, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

"What do you want to say?" Rosen asked.

Mobius glanced in the direction of the college and whispered: "Your method is feasible. Although the risk is high, there is still a chance of success. Rosen, save my life, and I will naturally help you with this matter." You. But you have to understand, if, I mean just in case! If we attract the other party's attention, I should be able to escape, but you will be finished."

Although Rosen has an undead physique, he is still incomparable to the real undead. His speed and strength are far behind, and his recovery ability is also far behind. If he was really being chased by those powerful monsters, he would definitely be caught up and trapped.

Once this happens, he will almost certainly die!

‘Heh~~’

Rosen let out a wry smile, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's do this, you lead the way, and we will capture a high-level alien alive from the outside."

Mobius glanced at Rosen, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Veronica is really lucky to have a friend like you."

"Just try your best, let's go."

"Okay, I owe you a favor. Come this way, let's catch someone easier to deal with."

Rosen followed quickly behind Mobius: "Easy to deal with? What kind of strange person is this?"

Mobius waved his hand: "You don't have to take care of my face. Those aliens are monsters, and I am a monster too. I have been called a monster for so many years, and I am used to it. Let's go catch a dark elf now."

"Dark Elf?" Rosen was stunned. He had never heard of such a monster name in his previous life.

"Yes, dark elves, a kind of elf alien. Relatively speaking, dark elves are weak in body and have weak senses. Their specialty is superb martial arts. Well, when the time comes, I will take the lead and lure the elves out, and then you Hidden in the dark and make a sneak attack. Remember, don’t use the weapon on your waist, it’s too loud.”

"I understand." Rosen nodded, and then added: "Actually, I can make this thing not make any sound."

It is nothing more than using alchemical magic to build a sound barrier. Whether it is a high-pressure gas barrier or a vacuum barrier, it can block the sound of gunshots very well.

Mobius was stunned for a moment, then said: "If that's the case, then you can do whatever you want."

The two of them walked forward for about a few hundred meters. As they walked, Mobius suddenly slowed down and his footsteps became softer: "The dark elf is not far ahead. Just find one here. Hide somewhere and I'll lure him over."

"clear."

Rosen looked around the surroundings. His current location was only more than 200 meters away from the Prancing Horse Mansion and less than 300 meters away from the Secret Garden Hotel. He was very familiar with the terrain in this area.

Not far ahead, there was a large bush of lush bushes that was very flat and covered with thick snow. It was a pretty good hiding spot.

He walked over lightly, using alchemical magic to erase the footprints as he walked. After hiding, he made a gesture to Mobius that everything was ready.

Mobius did not set off immediately. He was silent for a while and said: "Rosen, let me tell you first. The city is in chaos now and anything can happen. I will probably lure you back later." There are several strangers, if that happens, you...can't be a monster?"

"Go ahead, go ahead, I believe in your ability."

When things got to this point, Rosen had no other choice.

"Then I'll go."

Mobius sped up, his body turned into a black smoke, and floated lightly towards an alley ahead.

Rosen waited patiently.

At this time, more than half an hour had passed since the night attack. The movement in the city was much quieter than at the beginning, but there were many buildings on fire. The night sky was illuminated by the flames, and it seemed that the entire Nerogard was red. Johto has been plunged into flames.

Less than 600 meters away from the college, you can still clearly hear the noise coming from the direction of the college. There are roars, roars, and small explosions in the sound. If you listen carefully, you can still hear a trace of electricity. There was a crackling sound.

Rosen guessed that the magicians in the academy were fighting monsters. As for the situation, he didn't know who had the upper hand and who was at a disadvantage.

After about half a minute, Rosen suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps coming from the alley in front of him.

There were two types of footsteps. One was very soft and fast, giving the impression that they were flying against the snow. Rosen sounded familiar, and he knew the footsteps of Mobius.

The other is very fine and very high-frequency, and it sounds a bit like the 'click-click' sound made by fingers tapping the keyboard at high speed.

Rosen thought secretly: ‘This should be the dark elf! ’

About five or six seconds later, Rosen saw a black shadow quickly drifting past his hiding place, it was Mobius. And the faint footsteps were less than 50 meters away from him.

'It's time. ’

Rosen immediately activated his alchemical magic to form a vacuum barrier around the hand cannon that blocked out sound waves, and then concentrated on preparing to sneak attack the dark elves.

As he was doing this, suddenly, Mobius' anxious voice came over: "Rosen, something is wrong. That dark elf has a companion! Escape quickly, there are more than one coming!"

"!"

The pores all over Rosen's body exploded. The problem was not that Mobius said there were more than one, but that there were clearly more than one coming, but he could only hear the footsteps of one of them. Then Where are the other monsters?

The invisible enemy is the most terrifying!

This feeling is like a blind man falling into a snake's nest, which makes people unable to calm down at all.

If there is only one powerful monster of the same level as the undead, Rosen can easily deal with it. But if there are 2 or even 3 of them, and they cooperate with the attack, the combat effectiveness will be far simpler than 1+1=2. It is said that two fists are no match for four hands. If you don't run away, you will definitely die.

"This damn scammer!"

Rosen cursed in his heart. He had no choice but to run out of his hiding place, followed Mobius with all his strength, and fled all the way.

But after running for only a few seconds, Rosen felt something was wrong.

Even with the assistance of alchemical magic, his full running speed was still slower than Mobius. The distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther, but the soft footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer to him.

It was obvious that even the dark elf, who was relatively weak among the advanced aliens, could run much faster than him, not to mention several other monsters.

If this continues, he will definitely be caught up.

"Mobius, how many did you attract?" Rosen asked angrily. He was in such a bad situation only because of this unreliable undead.

"At least 3! One dark elf, the other two, a ghost baby, and a shadow demon. I said, we are running for our lives, you should run faster!" Mobius urged.

Rosen cursed in his heart. No wonder he couldn't hear the voices of other monsters. The Ghost Infant and the Shadow Demon were both assassin-type monsters that were fast and agile. What they were best at was sneak attacks. If they could hear them, they would There's a ghost.

"Damn it, I tried my best to run!" Rosen said angrily.

After hearing this, Mobius looked helpless: "Man, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't help you. You're asking for it. I'll withdraw first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mobius' speed increased a lot, and in an instant, he ran out of Rosen's sight.

Rosen was dumbfounded. At this juncture, he couldn't expect loyalty from an old monster like Mobius who had lived for nearly a hundred years. If this guy had loyalty, he wouldn't have lived so long. He just didn't expect this. The old guy can run so fast.

"The plan is really not as good as the change. Forget it, I can't run with my legs, I can only use invincibility. Wait, after chasing three monsters, I will try my best. It seems that there is no chance!"

His time is very tight. Every second that passes, Annie may be killed. He cannot waste a minute and a second and must find Annie as soon as possible.

"Fight!"

Thinking of this, Rosen was heartbroken and simply stopped.

The place he was standing now was the exchange in Fugui District. On one side was a very thick and tall stone wall. Rosen ran to the stone wall and stood against the wall.

This way, he doesn't have to worry about attacks from behind and can concentrate on dealing with the opponents in front of him.

As soon as he stood up, the dark elf arrived.

This dark elf looks like an ordinary person, and his body is similar to that of an ordinary person, but his skin is very dark, his ears are pointed, and he has a pair of strange eyes that emit a silver glimmer. He is wearing a very well-made leather coat, and holding two sharp scimitars in his hands, which are also very well made.

Apart from his appearance that is very different from ordinary people, just talking about his clothes and demeanor, this dark elf is a bit like a noble swordsman among humans.

When he saw Rosen stop, he also stopped 20 meters away, put one hand on the scimitar at his waist, raised his chin slightly, and said to Rosen in a condescending manner: "Your dress is a bit like what people often call a hunter."

"You are right, I am a hunter who specializes in hunting monsters!" Rosen clenched his hand cannon, and his mind was highly concentrated.

‘clang~~’

The dark elf drew out the scimitar from his waist, the blade was like water, reflecting the cold snow light: “I am Hannos, from the Daxter Empire across the sea. I’m sorry, I can’t let you leave here alive.”
