The Amber Sword

Chapter 36: Act XXV Minutes and Seconds

Brando looked in her eyes and almost didn't shake her hand and threw the Spike of Light with the sheath.

What kind of situation is this?

Between the staggered boulders beneath the canyon, on one side is a bunch of shrub-like monsters that trail up the Kabuka rock, like a black tide layer. On the other hand, a slender figure in his field of view was trying to climb up a rugged mountain path, carrying a huge wrap, a sword hanging on the wrap, and tumbling up and down with the long ponytail as the girl leaped on the stone wall.

Freya?

Brando rubbed his eyes and almost thought he was wrong. But he'd be wrong, and Roman wouldn't, and Miss Merchant was nervous —— that's Freya. But isn't she supposed to go to Dagger Beach with Martin? Why is she here? Brando doesn't believe she's leaving her third militia unit behind.

“It's Freya, Brando. ”

“I saw it. Don't say anything. I'll figure it out! ”

“Brando, Freya's gonna get caught up, right? We're gonna help her, right?” Sister Merchant turned around and leaped to ask.

“No, Roman. I don't need your help, I'll figure it out. ”

Unfortunately, he doesn't even dare to freak out right now. This is a delicate situation, but the key to changing the situation is not in his hands, but whether Lord Martha is in a good mood today. But unfortunately, it doesn't look good--

On the other side of the same crisis bush, Brando turned around and saw the corpse witch unhesitatingly remove her calf bone and let the withered beast that grabbed it slide back into the herd. Then the other side flips over and climbs to the rock with a pair of bone hands, its 1.7 energy strength is enough to support a bone skeleton that is not too heavy and runs between the rocks - only Kabuka finally hits it up, but it snaps.

Kabuka raised his head and the gloomy green flame in his orbit reflected the frightened and angry face of the young man on the rock. It initially felt familiar with this ripple of life, but it didn't matter to a dead spirit because it had lifted its scepter and swung it towards Brando.

The scum of man, it comes to mind.

Brando finally couldn't care less, he choked out the sword, the stab of light emitted a brilliant light in the dark, he inserted the next stab into Kabuka's skull - a slight chirp, a golden flame coming out of the dead witch's cracked forehead and burning in all directions.

“Ka -” Kabuka half of his voice is stuck in his throat, and Brando's sword is so fast that it feels its eternal life has come to an end before it can react at all.

It thought it was going to be a big dead witch.

He tried his best to fall back, but the young man grabbed his boner, and Kabuka snapped, wondering why he was trying to save himself. But how can it accept the help of a humble human being when it is a dead spirit forever returned to the dragon of calamity? While Kabuka was tangling, he saw the other hand and foot pull the ring off his index finger.

“Shit! This human scum, bandit...”

Three points of experience.

This was Kabuka's last thought, and the fire of the soul in his eyes went out. But Brando was surprised that the corpse witch actually had a nice ring —— the Spiderweb Ring, +0.2 perception, familiar pattern -- and he had one that he never lost in memory.

Perception is a symbol of a character's ability to feel its dimension and improve understanding of space and matter through hearing, smell, vision, touch and taste. This is a very important attribute in the game, when there was a low-level copy of 'Public Grave Cellar' in Pragues, because open flames were not available in the copy and the player squad had to constantly hide from a set advanced monster in an intricate underground tunnel, so high-perceived and smart gear was once very competitive.

This ring was given to him by a friend of Brando's. Think about it. It was really sour. In order to prepare a set of 10OZ perceptions, I almost lost my life, but I still didn't open the 'public tomb cellar’.

Speaking of ‘public tomb cellars', he suddenly remembered that there was a good warrior in that copy, the Medal of Courage, +2 military swordsmanship. He slapped his head and almost forgot about it. He didn't give a shit about the badge back then.

“Brando, Brando!” Roman's voice was full of anxiety.

Brando was surprised that businessmen are usually not in such a hurry. What happened to Freya? He hurriedly threw away the bone skeleton on his hand and looked back and saw a withered beast chase Freya from behind, running on a pointy rock, stretching out her dewy claws and grabbing the tape of the girl's backpack, then pulling her backwards.

“Freya, look out!” Miss Merchant ‘Ah’ shouted, and she stood up and tried to run away with her dress. But Brando took back the girl who didn't know what was going on. Just kidding, how can you let her help at this time?

“You stay right here!” He threw the cobweb ring to Roman and let her keep it.

A character equips magical objects with limitations, which in the witch's view is related to the source of a person's magic, but for Brando, one level 2 mercenary carrying a total of 40Oz of power is already heaven.

“Okay, Brando, but...”

But Brando looked around and didn't feel comfortable leaving this miserable businesswoman here. Before he pulled out the thorn of light and shined bright light, he had long been a target. I'm afraid leaving Roman here at this time will also lead to attack--

If Little Roman got hurt, it would be a terrible death. Coflaia is also in danger. How can he remain indifferent when he has long regarded this insistent and kind girl as his most precious companion?

That's a real dilemma.

Of course, these thoughts all flash past Brando's thoughts. At the bottom of the valley, Freya earned a break from that withering beast's claws, struggling to run forward two steps but falling down again - she had seen them both, creating a glimmer of hope in her panicked eyes.

“Brando -” she hasn't finished shouting and dragged back.

“Draw the sword!” Brando shouted.

“It wrapped my backpack around me, and I couldn't reach--”

You idiot! Brando decides to give Roman the Spike of Light: "This sword can do a good job on them, protect yourself! ”

“What about you, Brando? ”

The young man shook his head and told her not to worry, turning around and running in Freya's direction. Shit, it's not the first time, Lord Martha likes to joke with him. Just joke.

But as in the game, the monster always likes to prioritize the trouble of the weak - he hasn't jumped two levels and a puncture-filled human shrub has stopped in front of him.

Dead Beast Young Body, Level 7 Monster, Strength 2.2 Energy Level, Physique 3 Energy Level, Proficiency 1.2 Energy Level, Dark Properties, Fire Weakening, Swing Weakening, Piercing Semi-Free. Memories of the past float to Brando's mind like running water, and the monsters of plant properties are characterized by their high physique, but agility is often their weakness - not to mention their dark properties, their weak fire, their weak chopping, and their rays of light are simply their natural stars.

Too bad he didn't have it, he couldn't help biting his teeth and cursing the current situation. The only thing he can rely on now is 2.1 energy skills, and he doesn't intend to get involved with each other.

But it seemed that the dead animal larvae had no idea of a consensus with him, and it had pounced out loud voices. Though the withered beast is a human form, it also runs on all limbs and looks like an uncultivated wildling man.

Brando avoided each other's claws on his side, and the tips of his branches swept through his forehead to draw a few blood marks - luckily not dead, otherwise the venom in his body would deepen even further.

But he hasn't been lucky enough to throw a line of haunted green text on the retina:

“Urgent warning: paralysis toxin invasion. ”

I forgot about this, Brando almost cursed. Because it used to be more than twenty grades, basically can quietly bypass the area of the withered beast, he forgot that this attack is poisonous, although it is only the most insignificant paralysis toxin, it can be eaten as well as the corpse poison on the body.

But he dared not slack at all. Press and hold each other's prickly claws and push, then target the dark red withered beast next to Freya, triggered by an attack.

Still an adult.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the 4.7 energy levels of the adult withered beast surpassed even the Stone Ghost, and the first level of power was not a joke. But it's a little strange that, by the way, a grown shriveled beast was there where Freya should have been dragged away long ago, right?

But anyway, Brando flies out through the path of the dead animal's young body, and then turns around in the middle of the sky, and when it's excited, the whole person suddenly speeds up over a staggered sharp rock, like a shadow connected constantly on a rock.

Dozens of meters away in an instant--

“Unpack your backpack, Freya! ”

But Freya shook her head with her backpack in her arms, and she grabbed a prominent boulder with one hand, almost losing support. But Brando finally made it one step ahead, "bow your head.” He lowered his voice, pulled out the sword behind Freya's back, and then broke the backpack strap that the adult withered beast grabbed -

The dark red shaped shrub immediately fell to the rear for losing its center of gravity, trying to grab something to stabilize the equilibrium, but Brando had already kicked it in the chest, causing it to tumble into a deep rock seam behind it.

The withered beast is very light, so it won't hang up if it falls like this, but for a moment and a half, you won't find a way up. Our hero was relieved to see this scene, but he turned around and his tone became very harsh:

“You're dead! ”

Freya looked up at him with bright eyes, roughly unexpected that he would be so fierce, she clasped her lips, and some stubbornly stayed away.

But Brando suddenly saw her hands worn out, all bloody, and she couldn't bear to scold again. Besides, the crisis is not over yet, and he sighs and pulls her up and says, "I have a lot to ask you, but I'll talk to you later. Roman's still waiting for us up there. ”

“Mmm.”

Unfortunately, Brando was about to turn around and saw two golden spots flash and disappear into his chest. With two points of experience, he raised his head with great surprise - seeing Roman with a skirt in his hand and a sword of the elf chasing him down the road, before the dead animal young body stopped him in front of her - and she wore her heart carefully with a sword and then turned into a mass of ash.

The merchant lady also seemed frightened. I didn't expect her sword to be so powerful!

“Why did you come down too?” Brando suddenly had an urge to beat this guy up.

“But I thought about it, Brando, and I don't think I can protect myself. ”

Brando was silent for a moment.
