Chapter 64: Magical Barrier Opened
"Yerwen, treat them quickly!"
Ambro said hastily after rescuing Corriveau.
"The injury is slow to heal."
Yervin half-crouched and used healing magic. Although the effect was a little weaker than that of the priests of the Holy See, it was no problem to deal with someone like Corrivo.
"You are... Lord Ambro?"
After a while, Corriveau woke up slowly and saw the group of "Glorious Knights" who were protecting him.
"Boss, you wake up!"
"Corriveau, are you okay?"
The teammates of "Monster Hunter" were overjoyed to see Corrivor wake up. If Corrivor didn't wake up, they would really have to abandon him.
"What am I doing..." Corriveau's mind was still a little dazed.
"Stop talking nonsense and retreat quickly. The magic barrier protecting the city is about to be opened. If we are not in time, we will be doomed!" Ambro shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ambro took the lead, raised his sword, and threw several monsters away with ease, rushing towards the gate of Roselowe, while the members of the "Glorious Knights" also showed their magical powers.
Sally and Einbert were extremely fast, and when they accelerated to full speed, few monsters could get close to them.
Although Alvis's 'Earth Presence' was riddled with holes, as long as the armor was not completely broken, the magic effect was still there. He was like a human chariot, and any monster that blocked his way could not withstand being trampled by him.
Yerven was the most relaxed. After casting flying magic on himself, he flew easily in the air. The monsters on the ground could do nothing to him.
"This is the power of a high-level adventurer."
The performance of the 'Glorious Knights' members had a strong impact on Corrivor.
This is the peak he can never reach no matter what, and the realm he can never reach no matter how hard he trains. He used to regard it as his life goal, but now it seems that he is getting further and further away from this goal.
……
"My Lord, the only ones left are the 'Glorious Knights' and the 'Demon Hunters'."
A magician affiliated with the City Lord's Mansion said.
Qiao Lin nodded slightly and looked into the distance: "They are already here, everyone get ready, listen to my command to activate the magic barrier!"
When the adventurers saw this scene, the fatigue in their hearts finally eased a little. After fighting hard for so long, even a strong man would not be able to bear it. It must be said that it was really a miracle that they could achieve this step.
Just hold on a little longer and you'll have time to rest.
Adventurers all thought that the magic barrier could only last for half a day, and the final battle would break out in the middle of the night. As long as they could hold out until tomorrow morning, reinforcements would arrive and everything would be solved.
Qiao Lin was also very clear about the adventurer's thoughts, but when he thought of the orders issued by the organization, he felt a chill deep in his bones.
As long as they carry out the organization's orders, not only these adventurers, but all the residents of Roselowe will become food for the monsters. No one can escape, and not even the 'Glorious Knight' can change this outcome.
He was constantly struggling in his heart over whether to carry out the mission.
Qiao Lin knew very well that if he did not carry out the mission, his wife and daughter would probably be killed first, and the executioner in the city would never let him go.
On one side are the lives of his wife, daughter and himself, and on the other side are the lives of all the residents and adventurers of Roserowe.
What choice to make was almost like a curse lingering on Qiao Lin's heart.
"There are too many monsters! Hurry up and clear a path for Master Ambro and the others!"
In the distance, the wounded captain of the guard was commanding the adventurers.
His sword had been broken at some point, but the broken sword did not affect the captain's fighting spirit at all. He held the broken sword and fought the monster, and he seemed to be unaware of the wounds on his body. Several adventurers who still had magic power raised their staffs and chanted spells.
"Magic breakthrough - Explosive missile!"
"Magic breakthrough - Wind Blade!"
"Magic breakthrough - light ray!"
Red flame missiles, transparent wind blades, pure white light rays, under the attack of magic, a gap was briefly cleared in the direction where the "Glorious Knights" were returning from.
During this short period of time, the adventurers who penetrated the deepest into the monster army finally broke out from the layers of encirclement.
"Thank you very much."
After only a hasty thank you, the members of the 'Brilliant Knights' turned around to deal with the swarming monsters.
At this time, all the adventurers had retreated into the range of the magic barrier, waiting for the order from City Lord Qiao Lin, and the magicians who had been prepared would open the barrier.
All the adventurers were looking forward to that moment, and many of them even cheered in advance.
Qiao Lin's hands trembled slightly, and he didn't know how he said the four words "open the barrier".
Anyway, the barrier has begun to open now.
Extending outward from the Roserowe city gate with a diameter of one hundred meters, an extremely large magic circle appeared under everyone's feet, with countless magic spells and obscure words leaping on the magic circle.
At the very edge of the magic circle, a huge water-blue light curtain rose from all directions, directly enveloping the entire city in the light curtain.
As for the monsters that happened to be standing on the edge of the magic circle, their bodies were ravaged by the powerful magic force the moment the barrier rose, and they all exploded into a ball of blood mist.
The dreamy azure magic barrier looked magnificent. Although there were also some monsters that entered the range of the barrier, such numbers could not cause much hindrance to the adventurers. It was better to say that these few monsters boosted the adventurers' morale.
While the surviving monsters were still in a daze, a bunch of weapons were thrown at their heads. Even some magicians who had no magical powers raised their wands and hit the monsters on the heads.
The poor monsters were smashed into a pile of meat before they could figure out what was going on.
"It's over! Haha!"
"I'm alive! I'm alive! I'm alive!"
"I can't do it anymore, I need to sleep..."
Many warriors fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep after a moment of mental relaxation, while the magicians sat cross-legged on the spot and began to meditate in order to restore their magic power.
Everyone's face was filled with a smile from the heart.
Although it was only a temporary victory, being able to withstand the first wave of attacks meant there was hope for success. Compared to the fearless attitude of facing death before the defense of the city began, the adventurers now undoubtedly had more energy.
Although the word "hope" is elusive and hard to find, it is indeed a wonderful thing to have more hope in human hearts.
"Oh, what a waste! The monster we just killed is probably worth thousands of gold coins." Einbert looked regretful.
"It's already this late and you're still thinking about money, money, money." Yervin snorted coldly, closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
……
After an unknown amount of time, when Yervin woke up from meditation, he immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Get ready."
"The next battle won't be so easy."
Ambro stared at the monsters outside the magic circle with a serious expression.
Spoiler alert: a certain big boss will arrive on the battlefield in about ten chapters. I'm so excited just thinking about it.
