Chapter 256 - I“m Very Curious (2/2)

morph was the central skill for the druids.

the druids could a.s.sume the form of multiple animals to deal with different environments.

the emerald dragon was the druids’ strongest form with average abilities.

this form was excellent in terms of survival, destruction, mobility, etc. there were no shortcomings.

the black leopard form, on the other hand, was the most destructive of all the druids’ forms.

after turning into a black leopard, the druids would acquire natural stealth, and the hardness of their claws would increase with their level.

the black leopard claws of a level-five druid would be considered a penetrative weapon, and those of a level-ten druid would be considered a mithril weapon.

mithril was a hard metal and a good suppressor of magic. if the attack was powerful enough, a weapon made of mithril could easily tear a magic s.h.i.+eld apart.

that was why three holes were punctured in schuck’s giant sword.

the black leopard entered stealth mode again. immediately, flames. .h.i.t somewhere nearby and forced him to reveal himself.

but the black leopard was extremely fast. like black lightning, it jumped elsewhere and entered stealth mode again. this time, even margret failed to track it.

the black leopard’s stealth ability could hardly deceive the eyes of a dragon that could see through disguises. it must be somewhere that margret could not see.

margret flapped her wings and shouted, “schuck, come here!”

since the enemy had advantages on the ground, they should fly into the sky.

that was margret’s simple thought.

but schuck shook his head.

on roland’s end, after blocking another dozen arrows, suel was finally hit on the forehead, before multiple arrows shot his throat and his heart. he fell backward.

even though he specialized in blocking arrows, he could not guarantee he’d block all arrows. it was still a matter of intensity.

just now, roland threw out another three fireb.a.l.l.s, but they were all blown up by the enemy.

besides, roland had no time to acc.u.mulate power. as long as he dared to acc.u.mulate his magic power to cast a spell, he would be faced with a lot of tricky arrows, and he had to summon s.h.i.+eld-wielding magic puppets to protect himself.

at this point, roland finally understood why most mages required the protection of warriors.

it was true that chances were few for them to cast a spell when a strong archer was onto them.

at this point, roland, the hunter, schuck, and margret were the only ones left on the battlefield.

the black leopard suddenly appeared ten meters ahead of schuck. with bloodshot eyes, he suddenly spoke in the human tongue. “you are a saint samurai. you’re supposed to be a symbol of justice and order. why did you ambush us?”

the other elves stopped attacking, although they still aimed their long bows at roland and schuck.

schuck sneered. “you slaughtered so many humans in two villages and one town without even sparing the babies, and you’re asking me why i ambushed you?”

after a brief silence, the black leopard asked, “how did you know that?”

“nothing can be kept a secret forever.”

“it doesn’t matter how you learned it. we’ve done nothing wrong. the human beings who imprison and enslave elves deserve death.”

schuck shouted angrily, “you could’ve killed the criminals and spared the innocents. why did you kill the infants and the children? do you have any morals?”

“some of my people were tortured to death by them. as far as i know, the folk in the villages and the town all enjoyed the show excitedly. when death drew near, none of them were innocent.” the black leopard looked at schuck and roland and then said, “i don’t want to discuss philosophy with you. it’s boring. all i want to say is that your men are mostly dead. if you kill the other two human beings, i will let you and the red dragon go.”

hearing that, roland grinned and pinged schuck in the guild system.

roland: “buy us some time until hawk and the rest of them resurrect and come back.”

schuck: “got it.”

after replying to roland, schuck looked at the black leopard and smiled. “you’re willing to let us go?”

“although i’m not happy to admit it, if a saint samurai and a dragon knight dies in my home, the church of light would definitely seek retaliation on the elves.” the black leopard said casually, “thank your defensive G.o.ddess, unwise saint samurai.”

the black leopard’s voice was low and full of regret and helplessness.

“they say that the elves are innocent, but you’re rather sordid in my opinion.” schuck snorted and smiled. “the saint samurai have to abide by the virtues of knighthood; we cannot abandon our comrades. if i let you kill my friends, i will definitely be forsaken by the G.o.ddess and corrupted into a dark knight, and you won’t let me go after i turn into a dark knight. so, all of us will die in the end anyway.”

the black leopard stepped back. gazing at schuck, he said in vague surprise, “you’re smarter than i thought, human.”

actually, it was exactly the druid’s plan, but it did not occur to him that schuck would see through him so easily.

“you could’ve turned into a dark knight yourself and saved each other’s time.” the leopard walked along gracefully and continued, “you’re going to die anyway. why don’t you tell me the truth before you die? i’m very curious about who told you of the slaughters.”
