Chapter 261 A Battle Spanning a Thousand Years (Part 1)

Les' heart was beating fast at this moment: if he had believed the nonsense that "free-range can make students grow faster" before, and had not prepared the life-saving necklace for Daphne, then Daphne would be dead now.

No one can take the terrible spell just now without any defense, and he is no exception.

He is very familiar with the source of the magic power of the spell, which is the style of his old friend. This makes Les a little confused. He doesn't know what happened to her-wouldn't she have the same symptoms as Ravenclaw? That's too coincidental.

The three of them retreated to the edge of the stone door little by little. At this time, Les had built several layers of defensive magic in front of him. Even if the figure appeared again to attack, he was sure to block its attack for Daphne and the others.

Seeing that the "prey" tried to escape, the figure no longer hid, and came out directly, and aimed at Les with an amazingly powerful attack spell.

This time, Les saw the whole process of the figure appearing: it came out directly from the sand on the ground.

Boom!

A spell flew like a meteor, hitting the multi-layered defense spell formed by Rice. While trying to support the defense spell, Rice mobilized his own domain and formed a wall of mud in front of him.

The two-pronged approach was very effective. After shattering the defense magic carefully constructed by Rice, the spell fired by the figure was already at the end of its strength. It hit the mud wall and only splashed a mud flower.

"You go out first and go back to the town. I will catch up in a while." Without letting Daphne and Astoria say anything, Rice directly pushed the two out of the hall and waved his hand to close the stone door again.

He wanted to drag the figure here to prevent it from chasing out.

He dared not guarantee that the monster in front of him could only stay in the hall. If it could run out, it would be a pursuit battle. Once things develop to this point, it is only a matter of time before the reduction of personnel-it is difficult for him to take care of the two students during the retreat.

But it was different to fight a positional war here. After paying some price, I could drag the monster in the sand here. It was easy for me to find a chance to escape after Daphne and the others ran away.

After Daphne and Astoria were pushed out of the hall by Rice, they looked at the closed doors, and their faces were extremely ugly.

"Rice!" Daphne couldn't help but shout at the door, and punched the stone door hard at the same time. The force of the stone door's rebound made her hands numb, but she didn't feel it at all.

It's like this again...

I can't help at all.

Daphne couldn't help but think: If I had blocked the spell just now with a wonderful defensive spell, would I be able to stay and fight side by side with him?

"Sister, go up quickly, don't let Rice down." Astoria pulled Daphne's arm and advised sincerely.

The spell just now made her realize clearly that that level of battle was not something she and her sister could get involved in. Les was stalling for time for them, and now they were helping him by running out.

Daphne was awakened by her sister's words. She took a deep breath and prepared to leave. But when her eyes swept across the stone door in front of her, she was stunned: she remembered that this door was blown out by Les, but why did the hole disappear now?

Daphne lowered her head and found that the floor had become flat again, and a bad mood rose in her heart.

She looked up quickly and found that the eyes of the two stone statues that had been honest before were now red - the destroyed eyes also recovered automatically.

"Astoria, be careful!" She shouted, and at the same time, she released a defensive spell in front of herself and her sister.

Astoria also discovered the abnormality of the dog-headed statue. She made a prompt decision and released defensive magic while pulling her sister out.

At this time, the two statues had come alive, waving their spears and stabbing at the two.

Buried deep underground and isolated from the air, and protected by magic on the spearhead, the bronze spear was as sharp as when it was first cast. It broke Daphne's defensive magic with just one strike, and was then barely blocked by Astoria's spell.

Seeing this, Daphne and Astoria no longer hesitated, and directly drove the flying magic, floating in the air and rushing out of the ruins. The two stone statues took heavy steps and chased after the two.

"Why are they catching up?!" Daphne couldn't help but yelled.

"Nonsense, use your brain!" Astoria cast a barrier spell behind herself, while trying to complain about her sister.

These two statues are used to prevent thieves! How could they let you go after just hitting you? At least they should chase you to the gate of the palace, right?

Although the two statues seemed to be moving slowly, they were ten meters tall and could move a long way forward with each step, so they were able to "bite" the two tightly behind them, making it impossible for them to distance themselves.

The barrier spells had almost no effect on them, and they seemed to be able to overcome the resistance caused by the spells with just a little effort.

Astoria made up her mind, turned her head, and blasted out the attack spell stored in the bracelet.

Watching her sister release the spell stored in the bracelet, Daphne felt sad: her necklace was destroyed, otherwise she could also cooperate with her sister to release attack magic... But at the same time, she was a little fortunate that she had reacted at this moment, and it was the spell attached to the necklace that saved her life.

Les seemed to have never mentioned it, but it was obvious that her necklace had a hidden function.

But the necklace was destroyed... Daphne was in a very complicated mood.

Astoria's spell accurately hit the dog-headed statue on the left, and after a loud bang like an earthquake, the dog-headed statue was blown into two pieces.

The collapsed stone statue also stopped the footsteps of another stone statue, and Daphne and Astoria took the opportunity to distance themselves from it.

After seeing that he seemed unable to catch up with the two invaders, the other stone statue took a javelin from its back and threw it fiercely at the two, but was lightly dodged by the two girls who were good at flying.

…

While Daphne and Astoria were fighting the kobolds, Les was in a tough fight.

The figure no longer lurked, but stood in the middle of the hall, casting all kinds of attack magic at Les.

Les also took the opportunity to see the face of the figure opposite clearly. Although it looked a little older, he was sure that it was the face of his old friend Helga Hufflepuff.

The only difference was that she was a clay doll.
