The Supreme Magic Throne

Chapter 5 Mutation

Faced with this kind of strange and frightening sight, Lucian's hands and feet trembled, even his mind was also muddled. The thought of what to do and what not to do fell apart, all that was seen on the surface was Lucian being stunned on the spot with no response at all.

"Holy spell, wait, I still have a spell."

The panicked Lucian recalled his greatest support, and subconsciously focused his mind, wanting to recite the spell and activate the magical "light shield. No matter what, protecting yourself is most important.

"Hhhh!" At this moment, a thunderous roar rang out in Lucian's ears, which made Lucian's back tense and goosebumps. His panicked and chaotic mind suddenly stagnated.

“Holy spell.” Gary's calm voice entered Lucian's ears, Gary's recent roar also resuscitated Lucian, Colaya, and Hasen from the chaotic shock.

Gary's calm and rational attitude affected Lucian, so Lucian's response quickly recovered. Without thinking much, he rubbed the sacred emblem and whispered a strange syllable: "Gaia."

A round white ball of light appeared in front of Lucian and the others, dispelling the deep darkness.

Then, Lucian saw a group of black mice, they were normal-sized, but red-eyed. They gathered on the floor, walls, and strange human-shaped plants in a secret room.

As soon as the white light appeared, these rats seemed to have seen their natural enemies, continuously squeaking and rushing towards Lucian, Gary, and the others.

As the red-eyed rats dispersed, the sighting of a secret room was revealed in the eyes of Lucian and the others. There was a table in the corner, with three books glittering in a strange light, a flat, wide and strange table in the middle, which had many strange patterns painted on it, red in color, red in color, blue, and green, which is somehow similar to the pattern around the cross "Holy Coat of arms of Truth". On the table there are also some other objects such as, pans, glass bottles, etc.

Whether Lucian or Gary, it was too late to observe all that closely, for the crazed rats had advanced before them with a stench and an oddity.

The quiet Hasen and the sharp Colaya, having been resuscitated by Gary, skillfully wielded a long sword and shield, and leaned back against Gary to form a simple battle formation.

Facing a mouse, not another strange monster, Lucian who was calmly affected by Gary, became increasingly nervous, but this large number of rats was too strange, so Lucian's heart remained pounding.

The red-eyed rat leaped towards Lucian, its mouth open and revealing two sharp long teeth.

Lucian who was holding the sword of light in one hand, hurriedly slashed at the red-eyed rat with his compacted sword of light.

The sword of light summoned with a holy spell was much sharper than the long sword of an ordinary knight, but Lucian hurriedly swung this sword, thus misjudging the speed and strangeness of the leap from that red-eyed rat, he said, as a result, the sword of light missed and passed through the mouse.

The area where the body of the red-eyed rat was nudged with a sword of light, the black fur instantly scorched and spread into the flesh. But at this moment, the red-eyed rat had already pounced in front of Lucian, the flickering red pupils indifferently very clearly, and the stench in the mouth was faint.

With a swipe of his sword that missed, the red-eyed rat was already in front. Lucian immediately panicked. He wanted to swing his sword back to cut, but also wanted to directly extend his left hand to hold back, under the dilemma, even his sword of light almost fell to the ground.

Seeing the red-eyed rat biting his chest, Lucian was confused and had no choice.

Suddenly, a long sword flashing with a cold light spread out from the side, directly piercing towards the red-eyed rat's neck, and cutting it into two halves.

“Don't panic, if you don't have time to fight, just avoid having an attack on the fatal part, we still have healing techniques.” Gary's low voice sounded.

Colaya's sharp voice rang out at the same time: "Go back and lean on our backs, for what are you a novice standing there alone, looking to die?"

In this kind of situation, no matter what kind of negative impression Gary, Colaya, Hasen had on Lucian, they all understood that the Lucian holding the sacred emblem was a power that could not be underestimated. Even when another change occurred, the power of the emblem was also the key to turning things around, no one knew what monsters or magic traps were left after this wave of red-eyed rats.

After escaping the bite of the red-eyed rat, Lucian who had been panicking, heaved a sigh of relief and became calm again. Compared to Gary, a high-level knight who was well trained and even rich in combat experience, when faced with danger, and sudden changes. Gary always thought rationally, worried, and quick to respond, not everyone is born with fighting talent, or the ability to stay calm in the face of danger.

In the first real battle of life, it is a great fortune to have a veteran like Gary to guide and help, and also a valuable experience that is required when facing future battles and dangers.

This time, Lucian did not panic, he slashed forward with his sword of light while slowly moving backwards towards Gary and the others.

There were not only one or two red-eyed rats, but dozens, followed by another wave of rats that came.

The sword of light was bright and sharp, and there was still a faint light and shadow left as the sword passed through the Sword that Lucian had unleashed based on Gary's guidance, focused on defense, and so on, and to bring out the potential of the sword of light, as well as to cover up the shortcomings of Lucian who had never studied swordsmanship.

The light carried by this sword seemed to form a pale white barrier in front of Lucian. The rats that lunged and hit the light sword slash instantly split into pieces easily like mud. The internal organs are destroyed, the skin is damaged, charred, and eventually fall to the ground, without spitting out a single bit of blood.

And the rats that did not hit the light sword slash, as it passed through the rest of the light and shadow from the slash, the feathers on their bodies also started to dry up and scorch, the speed slowed down, the, had it not fallen in front of Lucian, it would have been cut down by Gary and Colaya from both sides.

“Hey boy, good work, your sword instantly killed more than ten monster rats.” Colaya whistled, so had no idea she was praising or insinuating Lucian.

Lucian himself was not satisfied. He who was able to kill so many red-eyed mice was entirely thanks to the power of the light sword and Gary's guidance, at this moment, "I guess the power of the light sword started to weaken."

After killing the red-eyed rat, Lucian felt like he was getting used to this kind of scene.

Gary teamed up with light sword slashes from Lucian, constantly slashing and stabbing, and repelling the red-eyed rats, "Don't be nervous, the remaining strength is enough to kill these monsters."

After being killed and knocked back, another wave of red-eyed rats lunged here again, this time in the hundreds.

Lucian became increasingly skilled at slashing. Although he was a little scared as well as worried about not being able to completely block hundreds of mice, but he still fully believed in Gary and Colaya, and believed that they could help him kill the mice that escaped from both sides.

The sword of light slashed diagonally from top to bottom, subconsciously drawing beautiful light and shadows in the air. In the continuous slashes, it was not known how many red-eyed rats had hit the sword of light. The pressure on Lucian's hand grew even more, Lucian who was not trained like a knight almost dropped a sword of light.

There are too many rats. Even if many of the corpses of the split rats continued to fall like rain in front of the sword of light, there were still dozens who managed to break through Lucian's blockage past the shield of light and the remnant of light was produced from the sword of light slash.

'This number is terrible, fortunately Gary and Colaya can swing five to six slashes in one second, so they can withstand this wave.' Lucian's light sword was already too late to slash again, so he could only think anxiously inwardly, 'Maybe the high-level knights that the church trained also have power similar to holy magic.'

Two small shields with ferocious momentum pushed out powerfully. Dozens of sounds of collisions were combined into explosions, which made the red-eyed mice instantly bounce to the ground and die.

Colaya smiled, "Good knights are not only good at using swords, but also shields."

While Lucian heaved a sigh of relief, he continued to use the light sword to resist the attacks of the red-eyed rats.

The red-eyed rats seemed to sense something was amiss, so some of them stopped crashing and directly attacked from the ground, while others climbed up the wall and prepared to attack from above the four of them.

The situation suddenly became precarious.

“Deliver the above to me.” Hasen who was always quiet suddenly said.

Lucian swung the sword of light from top to bottom, blocking the rats on the ground and who lunged in the air, while asking, "Will I use a shield of light?"

Gary shook his head: "Wait a minute."

The four of them were like small boats in a stormy sea, swinging among the red-eyed rats that fell from the sky, crashing in the air, and swarming from the ground, as if the four of them could drift away at any moment.

Suddenly, there was a gap in Hasen's blocking, so a red-eyed rat landed on Colaya's shoulder, Colaya's long sword and shield were blocking the front, before being able to take precautions, her neck bitten. A cry of pain rang out, Colaya shook her shoulders until the red-eyed rat fell down.

Colaya said bitterly, "The wound is numb, it seems poisonous."

“OK, I will activate healing magic.” While speaking, Lucian rubbed the sacred emblem with his free left hand.

Gary stopped, "Don't rush, Colaya can still hold on, there seems to be no way to stop this completely. Wait to be bitten by a few more bites just activate the healing magic, the number of mice is too much, we must save the maximum use of healing magic."

Before he finished speaking, he groaned as he was bitten by a red-eyed mouse between his boots and his knee pad.

Because of the injuries, Gary, Colaya, and Hasen changed some fighting styles, although mice can bite, but their teeth are not strong enough to penetrate armor. They are protected by chainmail, knee pads, etc., so can be more relieved, and try to keep the area fatal, so the situation suddenly improves.

Only Lucian wore a linen short top and trousers of the same color, without any protection, which was directly bitten by a red-eyed rat at the ankle.

Numbness and itching suddenly rose from the ankles and spread rapidly, Lucian was almost unsteady at the same time, his mouth was dry and extremely thirsty.

“You're not as good as us, use a light shield before magic healing." Gary understood the situation, and by now half of the red-eyed rats had already been killed.

It is about himself, Lucian does not delay, focuses his mind, and rubs the sacred emblem:

"Simon."

A strange and mysterious spell rang out, and a pale white light shield appeared around Lucian's body.

Lucian who finished reciting the spell suddenly could not concentrate, so he took a step forward to further attempt to block all the red-eyed mice in front of him with a shield of light and a sword of light.

But the rats that escaped from the light sword attacked the light shield one by one. Although the light flickered, the light shield did not shake at all, giving Gary and Colaya the chance to kill the rats.

After two to three seconds, Lucian's concentration recovered, then he rubbed the sacred emblem again, and recited the mantra: "Gurti."

A white light shot out from the cross of the sacred emblem and landed at Lucian's feet. The sensation of tingling and other discomfort instantly disappeared.

Lucian stood in front of him while being protected by a shield of light. Although Colaya and Gary were occasionally bitten, the situation gradually turned around. As the number of red-eyed rats decreased, the danger slowly disappeared.

Lucian took the time to activate the sacred emblem and heal Colaya and Gary's wounds.

Not long after, Colaya slashed the last red-eyed rat to death with a sword. After the blood splashed, he sighed softly: "Finally killed all."

The ground was already full of red-eyed rat corpses, as well as pools of deep red blood.

Lucian who saw this was a little stunned, not believing that this included his own work, Gary nodded: "Lucian, good work."

Lucian regained consciousness, ready to thank Gary.

Gery took a breath, and ordered, "Hasen, go in and check the secret room with Lucian."

Lucian had a shield of light, and Hasen who was standing behind the line had not been bitten by a rat. So at this point, Gary automatically has to maximize everyone's usability.

But behind it was quiet, Hasen who was always quiet did not answer.

Colaya looked back in surprise, then she was suddenly scared and panicked while shouting, "Hasen, Hasen is gone."

Just now Hasen who was fighting the red-eyed rat from overhead and calmly guarding behind the three of them suddenly disappeared now.

Lucian felt creepy again.
