The strongest magician who started as a hunter

You and everyone look at the way forward.

The stone steps they came from disappeared, and instead there was a fork in the road that they had never seen before, leading to the left and right directions respectively.

And no matter which direction, you can hear the crisp sound of the guards moving around.

Mia immediately looked at the tablet she was carrying and found that the road in front of her was very different from the map of the first floor of the ruins drawn after the last exploration.

It's as if it appeared out of thin air.

In addition, everyone present is an experienced hunter, so there is no chance of such a simple mistake as misremembering the route.

So the scene in front of me was even more bizarre.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all guessed that some kind of unpredictable change had occurred within the ruins.

Most likely it's because of the previous shock.

However, before several people could discuss their next move, they could hear rapid footsteps coming from both sides in front.

"Tap tap tap tap——"

A large group of guards, driven by thoughts of death, chased after them after smelling the aura emanating from a group of people.

Just one minute.

Piyou and others could see that the already narrow road ahead was suddenly crowded with more than twenty guards, charging over with long swords raised.

"Quickly retreat!" the man with the long knife greeted.

Several people quickly turned around and ran away.

However, You stood there, flexing his muscles and bones, walking forward with a smile on his face, and said with a smile:

"Just in time to catch them all!"

How many people have not had time to stop him!

They could see You, who was dressed in black, suddenly turned into a black and white afterimage and rushed out of the team, flashing like a ghost to the rushing guards!

Swish————!

You looked around at the crowd of guards holding their sharp blades high, and felt no fear in his heart. At the moment when his thoughts were particularly focused, he slammed his fist condensed with black thoughts into the chest of the nearby guard!

The momentum of the fist is amazing!

Several black lightning also appeared out of thin air, lingering around You's fist, and the moment it touched the guard's breastplate!

It burst out with a sound more shocking than thunder!

"Black Flash!"

With one hit, the nearby guard was shattered into pieces by the huge force almost instantly!

boom! ! !

What followed was an extremely exaggerated impact, sweeping across the road ahead almost instantly, completely swallowing up a large group of guards, and the sound of broken metal echoed immediately!

It lasted for more than ten seconds before the momentum gradually dissipated.

When everyone came to their senses, most of the twenty-odd guards who were crowded on the road were reduced to pieces. Only a few scattered ones near the sides managed to stand up with their broken bodies.

A thick black gas slowly rose into the sky from it.

"Is this guy... really not an enhancement type?"

Recalling the previous momentum, a middle-aged man from the reinforcement department in the team couldn't help but complain.

However, a few people had no time to chat. After this moment, more and more guards were attracted... one after another, they rushed from the fork in the road, surrounding the worries again just like before.

Seeing You fighting alone, the few people who had originally planned to retreat also became interested in fighting.

The man with the long knife turned his thoughts into flames and wrapped them around the blade, and immediately rushed forward; while another enhancement-type ability user also waved his fist and quickly joined the battle.

A light with amplifying ability emanated from the rear of the team, covering several people who were fighting in the battle.

Soon, a few people with high momentum easily took control of the situation.

Of course, the more important reason was that most of the guards were in the middle of the siege. Only a small number of guards on both sides rushed towards the following people.

After a fairly fierce battle.

The originally empty intersection was covered with armor fragments, and it was almost impossible to find a place to set foot.

…

The process of clearing out the guards was easier than everyone imagined.

Of course, most of this is due to worry.

There were hundreds of guards in total, and You could solve most of them by himself. It could even be said that he solved more than 80% of them by himself.

"Huh...huh..."

But now, the few people who were panting from exhaustion saw that You, who had contributed the most, was sitting on the ground like a normal person, not even taking a breath.

…

Since the previous battle wasn't very intense, and there were also people in the team with abilities that could enhance their recovery abilities.

So just half an hour.

The physical strength of several hunters who had participated in the battle had also recovered to some extent.

Then we started discussing the next steps.

"The round just ended. The guards on this floor should have been almost wiped out. Why don't we split up and act separately, which can also speed up the exploration efficiency." The man with the long knife suggested.

"Yes, with our strength, even if there are remaining guards, there is no safety problem in dealing with it. The most important thing is to find a way to break the situation as soon as possible. After all, no one can say what changes will happen in the future."

After listening to everyone's opinions, Piyou could naturally figure out the pros and cons, and after thinking about it, he also approved the proposal of splitting up.

It's just that it's hard for everyone to decide on the allocation of personnel.

After all, You's combat power is obviously comparable to that of three or more people, but it is impossible to arrange for just one of them to be responsible for the team's safety work.

After all, people need rest too.

So in the end it was decided that Piyou, the knife-wielding man and another middle-aged man with enhanced strength would go with him.

Of course, Piyou also has to bring his partner Mia.

Thus, the five-member team was officially formed.

The two sides split up and agreed to return to the starting point in three hours regardless of whether there was any gain or not.

If there is important information, return early.

…

After the number of people decreases.

You are no longer so constrained in his actions. Although they are a team of five, to put it bluntly, he and the remaining people are completely exploring separately.

Every time you go to an area.

The first thing he did was to observe and record the murals engraved nearby and the strange patterns. Of course, the most important thing was to search for the remaining divine patterns in the ruins.

…

At the same time, Kidd and a group of believers had already completely become the puppets of the black dagger, and now they quietly sneaked into the top level where You and his party were.

At this moment, worry is exploring the ruins alone.

The first thing he noticed was that there were several lifeless guys nearby, rushing towards him.

"It's really disappointing." You looked cold.

"However, since you brought it to your door, I won't be polite."

Saying that, You raised his hand and pointed it at the puppets that were about to attack from behind, silently condensing a palm-sized red sphere in his palm.

The moment he confirmed the formation, he whispered:

"Spell reversal - He!"

Then, the red ball of light did not explode directly in Yu You's palm, but struck rapidly in the direction You pointed.

Before the puppets in black robes could reach their target location, they were instantly crushed by the 'He' that exploded just as it rushed forward.

"boom!!!"

The stone bricks around the puppets suddenly exploded, and the black robes and cold, dry flesh they wore flew around along with the rubble.

The loud noise immediately attracted everyone, and they were also involved in the battle, each dealing with several dolls of unknown origin.

At the same time, You also found the passage for the doll to reach the top floor.

It is a circular stone door that is very similar to the entrance to the ruins. It leads all the way to the bottom floor, and an extremely active black aura is constantly emerging from it.

You didn't think much and chose to rush to the depths of the ruins.

Soon, he found an independent space completely wrapped in a dark atmosphere in the center of the bottom floor.

After a moment, a figure holding a black short knife slowly walked out of the completely dark space.

He was a middle-aged man of unknown origin, with dark skin and the whites of his eyes turning extremely red.

It was obviously a dead thing, but there was obvious hostility in its eyes.

You silently looked at the short sword in the opponent's hand and found that it was exactly the same as the demon sword he had seen before. Not only was it covered with dense lines.

At this moment, I can still vaguely feel an extremely evil consciousness.

Without hesitation, You immediately activated the technique, raised his hand and pointed it at the man in front of him, condensing a dazzling purple light in front of him.

"Xu Shi-Chu!"
