My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 59 The strange girl

Three crisp sounds were heard as the iron arrow pierced only a little into the oak shield before it could not go any further!

After seeing the iron arrow blocked, a roar came from afar.

"Charge! Buy Tristan some time!"

Five attackers wielding machetes and spiked clubs emerged from the bushes and treetops.

Their roars shook the grass and trees.

The attacker at the front, his face covered in scars, wielded a spiked club as thick as a bowl and hurled it at Otto's head with a gust of wind.

But Otto neither dodged nor avoided; instead, he slammed his left foot into the ground, sending the oak shield hurtling forward.

Black Horn Ram!

With a loud thud, the shield struck Scarface squarely in the chest.

At that moment, the poor attacker was like someone who had been hit by a running sheep. His eyes rolled back instantly, he spat out blood and flew backward, twitched twice on the ground, and then died.

As for Otto, he took advantage of this momentum and raised his hand to deliver a blunt strike, smashing it at the two attackers who were at the forefront.

The power of the shield bash momentarily halted their movements.

Seizing the opportunity, Otto suddenly activated the Azure Moon Breathing Technique.

The Moonlit Spirit Dog resonated with Otto.

A cold, moonlit sword flashed, and blood spurted from the throats of both attackers as they collapsed limply to the ground!

But just then, Tessa suddenly reminded her.

"There are still people in the tree!"

As Tessa reminded Otto, she raised her hand and threw her hammer and staff.

The hammer and staff shot towards the oak tree in front of them like a flying arrow!

The attacker, who was preparing to throw a hand axe, was immediately struck down by the hammer and staff.

At this moment, Otto finally understood why the Law Priests had increased his power.

Although Otto was somewhat surprised by the girl's power, he did not stop himself from pursuing it.

Otto slammed his toes into the ground.

Windwing Messenger activated.

His body suddenly became light, and with the help of the Windwing Messenger, Otto leaped more than three meters into the air!

The Azure Moon Breathing Technique was activated once more, and the black iron sword drew a perfect arc in the air, slaying the attacker who was in freefall!

At that very moment, the black sheep issued a warning almost simultaneously with the crimson mist.

[The Black Sheep sensed something amiss. The mage lurking in the shadows had altered the flow of magic, likely changing the spell!]

Otto wasn't too surprised.

According to Tessa, Meteor Spell requires a long incantation. The mage's teammates are already more than half dead or wounded, but the attack has only lasted for two or three breaths, so there is no way he will have the chance to summon Meteor Spell again!

With this in mind, Otto immediately calmed down and, while dealing with the remaining attackers, searched for the mage's whereabouts.

"We must not let that sorcerer continue casting spells!"

At this moment, Tessa had already leaped to her hammer and staff, unleashing her staff techniques.

As a priest, staff skills are a required part of one's training.

This combat technique is characterized by its wide, sweeping movements, making it ideal for stalling for time and launching counterattacks.

After all, there's no need for overly delicate manipulation. The heavy hammer combined with the girl's superhuman strength would absolutely shatter the bones once it touched the attacker's body!

Fortunately, the effects of the "Light and Light Eye" are still ongoing.

Otto finally managed to pinpoint the core of that white mist.

After finding his target, he immediately charged toward the rocks and unleashed a wild roar!

"roar!"

The deafening roar created an invisible impact, interrupting the mage's spellcasting!

At that moment, the mage's incantation came to an abrupt halt, and the arrow-shaped ball of magic that had been half-condensed instantly dissipated, blasting his face into a bloody mess!

At that moment, Otto had descended from the heavens and was standing on the rock.

An attacker wielding a giant axe tried to stand in front of the mage to help him defend against Otto's attack, but Otto was not so easy to let him succeed.

He swung the axe, which gleamed with a dark red light, at Otto, but Otto simply raised his oak shield again to block.

By using techniques to deflect force, he cleverly dodged it.

Upon seeing Otto's actions, the attacker immediately displayed an incredulous expression.

But Otto gave him no chance to catch his breath.

The Azure Moon Thrust was launched, the sword light flashed, so fast that it was impossible to catch!

The attacker remained frozen in place, still in the axe-wielding stance, when a bloody gash appeared in the center of his neck.

Immediately afterwards, blood gushed out, staining the decaying leaves beneath their feet red.

It spread all the way up to the monk.

The mage tried to fight back with other spells, but Otto was faster and killed him with a single sword strike!

At this moment, the surroundings finally quieted down.

Tessa approached Otto, carrying a hammer and staff stained with blood.

Judging from her appearance, Otto must have already dealt with the remaining attacker.

Seeing the counterattack come to an end, Otto finally breathed a sigh of relief and sheathed his sword.

The faint light of the lamp's spiritual eye gradually went out, and Otto simply kicked the corpse.

"Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Tessa simply shook her head.

"It's alright, it's just a bit of a pity that if I had put on my armor earlier, I could have dealt with the situation much better."

Tessa intended to change into her armor at the camp, but who would have thought she would run into trouble on the way?

Otto, however, didn't seem to care much. He simply told Tessa to search the corpse to see if she could find anything useful or any information.

This was Otto's first time fighting a mage, so he dared not hold back at all.

It's always easier to find information on a corpse.

Seeing that Otto had already bent down to examine the body, Tessa simply nodded and followed Otto's example, beginning her own examination.

The two did not gain much.

The seven attackers only brought out some copper Thorn.

Otto only found a pocket on the attacker wielding the giant axe, which had triggered a self-destruct mechanism due to the death of its owner.

"Aren't you planning to leave anything behind?"

Otto was somewhat annoyed; clearly, these attackers were experienced and hadn't brought anything of value with them.

But just as Otto was inspecting his spoils with a sense of frustration, he noticed something amiss.

This giant axe appears to have a hidden compartment!

Otto excitedly pulled a thin bone covered with strange symbols from the interlayer!

The magic-imitation ape seemed to have figured something out.

The Magic-Phantom Ape has discovered axe techniques.

"Is this an axe-type combat technique?"

Otto recalled the dark red aura that had appeared on the axe earlier; perhaps that was the effect of this combat technique.

"We could go back and sell it to Micah, but we need to get an appraisal from Phyllis first, so we don't get ripped off by Micah."

Otto had personally witnessed how Micah ripped off Sam, the winery owner.

As a teammate, Otto had a lot of faith in Micah's bargaining skills!

To avoid being taken advantage of, one must act with caution.

While Otto was figuring out how to squeeze money out of Micah's pocket, Tessa had already found some clues on the mage's corpse.
