Frilian: The Adventure of the Hero

Chapter 143 Everyone Backstabs

Boom—

A blinding flash of light erupted from the direction of the camp.

Ailu suddenly stopped.

The small notebook in his hand immediately disappeared, replaced by a metal staff with a ring on its head.

The staff glowed, and Ailu flew swiftly towards the camp.

Without hesitation, Shane, Frilian, and Philon followed closely behind.

From afar, it was clear that the entire camp's barrier had been shattered.

In the dim night, there were piercing firelight everywhere.

boom-

Shutark's figure leaped out of the flames and appeared before everyone's eyes.

The boy's battle axe cleaved continuously, producing a deafening, deafening crash, but strangely, there were no enemies in front of him.

Bang! Shutark once again slashed forward with all his might.

This attack was unrestrained and filled with killing intent.

The battle axe flashed a sharp silver light as it slashed down towards the earth, leaving deep trenches in the ground with tremendous force.

Everyone coming towards them was within the range of this attack.

Frillie immediately took action.

[Defense Magic] Spreads out over a large area.

However, the massive shockwave still forced Frilian, who was supporting the defense, to take a step back.

Shutark's powerful attack should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

But why————

"Shutark, what happened?!"

After the initial impact, Shane suddenly appeared beside Shutark and blocked his arm as he tried to attack.

Unexpectedly, Shutark, who had been stopped, shook off Shane's hand.

The battle axe charged up again and cleaved forward once more.

Frilian, Philon, and Ellu hurriedly hid.

The attack grazed the three people, narrowly missing them.

Xia En was startled.

He immediately looked into Shutark's eyes.

The boy's eyes were clear and bright, showing no signs of being bewitched or trapped in a hallucination.

Just as Shane looked at Shutark, Shutark also looked at Shane.

"run!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shutark brought his battle axe down on Shane's head.

"!!

Xia En was stunned.

This series of changes happened so fast that his body reacted instinctively. When Shutark said the word "run," he immediately activated all his acceleration abilities and disappeared from the spot.

boom-

Shutark's battle axe struck the spot where Shane had been standing, leaving a terrifying crater in the ground.

"Lord Frilian----"

Philon was stunned.

Why did Shutark attack Shane?

Just as Philon and Ellu were both puzzled by this unbelievable scene before them.

Frillie has already acted swiftly.

Golden iron chains shot up onto Shutark's body, binding him tightly.

Shutark's battle axe fell to the ground.

At the same time, a spurt of blood appeared on the boy's knee, and the sudden pain caused him to kneel down on one knee.

Xia En quickly returned to his side, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder.

In a flash, the two people disappeared from the spot.

Shaen activated the [Goddess's Barrier] to hide him and Shutark.

Outside the barrier, Frilian gripped her staff tightly, scanning her surroundings.

She wasn't surprised by Shane and Shutark's disappearance; on the contrary, her expression immediately turned serious after they vanished.

"Philen, Ellu, come closer."

At her command, the three mages stood back to back, close together.

The three of them nervously guarded their surroundings.

"Lady Frilian, could it be... a demon?" Philon frowned.

Frillie hummed in agreement.

"Be careful, the enemy is hiding."

With her reminder, Elu and Philon gripped their staffs tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

just.

As Shutark and Shane disappeared, silence returned to their surroundings for a moment.

It was so quiet that the three of them could only hear each other breathing.

Just then, Ailu suddenly realized something. She glanced at the empty camp and asked in a trembling voice, "Where's my grandfather?"

As if in response to her question.

The western side of the mountains, far from the three people.

A burst of magical light shot straight into the sky, followed by a terrifyingly loud sound, and the earth beneath their feet trembled violently.

"grandfather!"

Ailu looked in that direction, her expression anxious, and couldn't help but take a step forward.

Frillie immediately spoke up, "Don't move."

But it was too late.

Inside the goddess's barrier.

The chains binding Shutark instantly vanished.

"They're demons!"

Having gotten a chance to catch his breath, Shutark immediately reminded Shane.

"A demon has launched a surprise attack on the camp. The enemy is very strong, but I can't see them. No, I can see them, but no, I can sense their attack—"

The boy was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent.

Shane quickly crouched down to examine Shutark's knee. The wound had clean edges, clearly cut by a sharp blade, and blood had already stained half of Shutark's leg.

"How many of them do you estimate there are?"

Xia En quickly obtained the crucial information.

"About two."

Shutark frowned and recalled, "After the barrier shattered, the first one attacked was Zain, and the two uncles, Lylene and Falshu, went to help him."

"And then there's the one I'm facing."

"By the way, the other party uses something like—something like a puppet on a string. I feel my body being pulled by strings, and then it moves on its own—"

"Will it move on its own?"

Xia En frowned.

Bang bang bang—

As Shutark finished speaking, a series of explosions rang out outside the barrier.

Xia En took a look.

The three mages who were originally gathered together, Elu suddenly betrayed the other two.

The girl activated her [Flight Magic] and ascended into the air. With a wave of her staff, all the broken stones on the ground floated to her front. The densely packed stones instantly transformed into stray bullets, swiftly attacking Frilian and Philon on the ground.

Frilian and Philon reacted quickly, setting up their defenses together to protect each other.

The smoke and dust from the explosion instantly enveloped everyone.

Ailu swayed in mid-air, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, her body trembling slightly. The girl's voice was filled with extreme anger, "Let go of me—!"

But it didn't work.

Even though Ailu struggled fiercely, the power controlling her did not stop.

Bang bang bang—

Ailu kept grabbing stones from the ground, and countless missiles rained down. Even after Shane and Shutark canceled the barrier and appeared, some of these missiles also tilted towards the two of them.

Shutark picked up the battle axe from the ground and stood in front of Shane.

The boy wielded his battle axe, deflecting most of the incoming stones.

In an instant, Ailu suppressed the four people from above.

Her magical power was rapidly depleting, and her face visibly paled.

"grandfather----"

Sweat dripped down the girl's face. She gritted her teeth and struggled against the force controlling her, murmuring "Grandpa" in her mouth, hoping that her beloved and protective grandfather would come to help her as soon as possible.

Hiding behind Shutark, Shane looked at Elu in the air, then glanced at everyone who was pinned to the ground by her.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing his surroundings.

No.

There was no sign of any enemies.

The other party's concealment methods are extremely clever.

That being the case.

[Dealing the cards]

Target specified: oneself.

An invisible magical force descended upon Shane, and the rules took effect.

A card, drawn from the rules of magic and visible only to him, gradually appeared above Shane's head.

【good luck】

Great, for the next 15 minutes, his shooting percentage is forced to 100%.

Xia En drew the long sword from his waist.

At the same time, he pulled out the kunai shuriken with the tag "Flashbang".

"Frilian".

Xia En gave a reminder.

Surrounded by missiles, Frilian and Philon, who were conserving their mana for precise defense, suddenly found themselves enveloped in two eggshell-like magical shields.

at the same time.

Shaen casually gestured towards the gap between Ailu and the ground, and then his shuriken shot out.

Swah—

[Flashbang] Bursts.

The blinding light turned the surroundings into daylight.

The hidden demons suddenly appeared at the very center of the light.

I was hit by a flashbang.

In mid-air, Ailu's figure froze.

The girl immediately regained control of her body and, with her last bit of magical power, flew swiftly towards where Shane was.

Followed by.

Xia En activated [Swiftness] and [Dual Blade Style: Shadow Kill], aiming his longsword at the transparent outline in the center of the light, and thrust it straight at it.

The transparent outline attempted to retaliate, manipulating Shane.

Xia En felt a chilling sensation spreading through his body, his limbs began to move out of control, and the force even tried to make him drop the longsword in his hand.

However, no one can leave the table until the game is settled!

puff-

Xia En appeared behind the transparent silhouette, his longsword piercing through the chest and heart, causing a burst of blood to erupt.

Forced hit.

The demon's figure lost its transparency.

He was a young demon with the character "甲" (jia) tattooed on his forehead.

He grabbed Shane's arm in disbelief, his eyes wide, and slowly fell down, his body instantly turning into magical particles.

Xia Engang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Ailu's voice rang out from behind.

"Shane————"

The girl was pale and swayed twice as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xia En teleported to her side and caught her. Ai Lu grabbed his arm and slid softly to the ground. "Save me—Grandpa—"

Before she could finish speaking, Ailu fainted.

Frillie crouched down and looked at her. "Her magical power is exhausted. She probably won't wake up for a while."

17

Xia En nodded and picked the person up on his back.

"Stay close, don't get separated."

Shutark had injured his knee, and Frilian carried him through the air, while Philon flew beside Frilian.

Xia En took the lead.

The group of people rushed towards the western side of the mountain forest where the light had just shot into the sky.

Not long after.

A patch of fallen trees came into view.

On the scorched earth in front of him, Zain was pinned in mid-air by several green thorns, clutching his neck and struggling in pain.

Across from Zain, Lyleen's staff pierced through Falsh's chest.
