Chapter 385 Victory

“Sword Wind!”

Along with the strong sound of wind breaking, thousands of wind blades swept towards the Nightmare in front of them. In the face of such a powerful attack, the nightmare could not withstand it at all. All of a sudden, the sound of wind breaking could be heard, the mud-like body of the Nightmare was immediately torn apart bit by bit in the face of such a powerful attack. In a moment, it was completely turned into a pile of rotten meat.

“Wizard! Wizard!”

“Magic! Magic!” Earth-shattering cheers rang out. When the Underground Gnomes saw that Heath had destroyed one Nightmare after another, they immediately cheered.

“Roar!”

In contrast to this, the remaining Nightmares immediately became angry. They let out furious roars and charged towards Heath with their limbs.

“Just in time!”

Facing the terrifying Nightmares, Heath did not show any signs of cowardice. He raised the Red Demon greatsword in his hand and slashed forward once again.

“Sword Wind!”

The same terrifying wind blade appeared once again and slashed forward with a vigorous momentum.

Sword Wind was not an ordinary spell. It was a rule-based spell created by Heath according to the rules of magic and combined with his own swordsmans.h.i.+p. The model of this type of spell was directly imprinted on Heath’s soul. It was a bit like an innate spell. There was no need to chant spells, no need to use runic gestures, and it could be cast with just a thought.

Moreover, unlike ordinary spells that would only be able to be used again after a period of mental paralysis, this spell that was imprinted on the soul had no requirements for mental paralysis. As long as a Wizard had magic power, they could cast it at will. The only thing that limited it was the Wizard’s own magic power, and this was also the strength of rule-type spells. Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

A series of crisp sounds rang out, and the Sword Wind in the sky instantly swept up the two Nightmares at the front. Although the number of Nightmares doubled, they were still unable to withstand the terrifying damage in front of the powerful Sword Wind. As if they had entered a meat grinder, both of them were torn into pieces.

“Another two killed! Great, another two killed!”

“Too powerful, the Wizard is too powerful!”

When the Underground Gnomes saw the Nightmares falling one after another, they immediately cheered loudly. Their originally dejected expressions were swept away, and the morale of the entire Underground Gnomes tribe rose by a large margin. Seeing this, Albert, who was leading the team, immediately raised the stone axe in his hand and shouted, “Everyone, come with me and support Sir Wizard. Everyone, work together and kill the remaining Nightmares!”

“Support Sir Wizard and get rid of the remaining Nightmares!”

“Support Sir Wizard and get rid of the remaining Nightmares!”

At this moment, the Underground Gnomes were in high morale. When they heard Albert’s shout, they immediately responded in unison. Everyone immediately brandished their weapons and rushed towards the Nightmares in front of them like a swarm of bees. Their momentum was like a rainbow! When Heath saw that he was not organized, he released a few spells consecutively. Among them, there were even two Sword Winds. As a result, he had used up a lot of his magic power. He even felt a little dispirited in his spiritual power.

Although it would not be a big problem to continue fighting, since these Underground Gnomes were willing to help, wouldn’t it be better to let them hold him back to recover his spiritual power?

“Don’t fight them head-on. Hold them back for a while. I’ll rush over to support later!”

“Yes!”

After giving instructions to the Underground Gnomes, Heath rested on the spot. At the same time, he opened his dimensional pocket and took out the Spiritual Water that he had prepared beforehand, and drank it.

He had made ample preparations before this trip. One of the dimensional pockets was filled with Spiritual Water that could quickly recover magic power, in order to deal with such sudden situations.

After paying for a mind potion, a pure stream of mental energy immediately flowed through Heath’s limbs and bones into his spiritual sea, and the magic power that had disappeared quickly recovered. The dispirited state of his mind was swept away, and Heath quickly returned to his original state.

Then, he did not delay any longer, and rushed forward with the Red Demon greatsword in his hand.

ICV

After a series of battles, three of the eight Nightmares were killed by Shaman Kerza’s magic, then another by Heath’s (Indestructible), and then two by Sword Wind. That was six Nightmares in total.

After the six Nightmares fell, there were only two Nightmares left on the battlefield.

At this moment, the two Nightmares were being besieged by the Underground Gnomes. Although there was a big gap between the combat strength of the Underground Gnomes and these monsters, it was fortunate that there were so many of them. When the numerous Underground Gnomes formed a siege, the Nightmares could no longer kill in all directions like before. Instead, it seemed as if they were being suppressed by the Underground Gnomes.

The Nightmares that were already at a disadvantage became even more pressed once Heath entered the battlefield once again.

Now that they had the absolute advantage, if Heath was willing, he could use his Sword Wind to crush the two Nightmares in front of him into pieces at any time.

However, he did not do so.

This strange creature was a rare experimental material for Heath. Previously, he had killed those Nightmares because he had to gain the upper hand, but now there were only two Nightmares left… Without the pressure from before, of course, he could slowly deal with them. These two guys, Heath was prepared to take them back and dissect them.

‘Let’s get rid of one first!’

After thinking for a while, Heath brandished his Red Demon greatsword and charged forward, using his physical attacks to destroy one of the Nightmares. However, this Nightmare only had its head chopped off, and a large part of its corpse was left behind. It was not like before, where the corpse was torn into pieces.

After killing this Nightmare, there was only one Nightmare left on the battlefield. At this moment, Heath did not continue to attack the Nightmare. Instead, he took out a magic scroll from his dimensional pocket.

He pulled open the magic scroll and threw it in the direction of the Nightmare. Immediately, the scroll landed on the ground and immediately flashed with a dazzling green light.

Rumble!

A series of loud rumbling sounds rang out. The ground on the ground cracked open one after another. Vines broke out from the ground and quickly swept towards the Nightmare in front of them.

Cras.h.!.+ The Nightmare, who was fighting with the Underground Gnomes, did not notice the sweeping attack at all. Before it could react, the vines had already wrapped around its body. “Roar! Roar!”

The Nightmare opened its mouth and let out a roar. At the same time, it forcefully opened its mouth, trying to break free from the vines. These vines were actually not thick. The thickest ones were only as thick as a thumb. Some of them were even similar to ordinary hemp thread, making it seem as if they could be easily torn apart.

However, the strange thing was that no matter how hard the Nightmare tried, it was still unable to break free. This vine seemed to have an extremely strong willfulness. This was (Binding Vine), a plant-type spell that was specially used for control. The tenacity of this vine was one of the highest among all the vine-type plants. Even a Grand Knight could be easily bound by it. Although these Nightmares were much stronger than Grand Knights in terms of strength, they were still far from being able to break free of the vines.

“Haha, we won, we won!”

“The Nightmares have been defeated, the Nightmares have been defeated by us!” The Underground Gnomes cheered, and the gloominess on their faces was completely swept away. Every face of the Underground Gnomes was filled with an uncontrollable smile.

“Kill it!”

“Everyone, come on, let’s go and kill this Nightmare!”

After a short cheer, they began to attack the last Nightmare under Albert’s command. At this time, the Nightmare had been bound by Heath’s magic and could not move. If the Underground Gnomes surrounded it, it would definitely die.

However, at this time, Heath stopped their attack. “Alright, everyone, stop!”

The Underground Gnomes were stunned. They did not understand what Heath meant. The Nightmare was finally forced into a desperate situation by them. If they did not take the opportunity to destroy it, then it would break free. To the Underground Gnomes, who knew how many more lives they would have to pay?

Albert hurried to say, “Sir Wizard, now is the time. If we don’t get rid of this Nightmare, when it breaks free of its shackles, we will be in big trouble!”

Everyone’s physical strength had reached its limit, and they were still holding on purely based on their morale. If this Nightmare wasn’t destroyed and instead returned, they wouldn’t be able to muster the slightest bit of strength to resist. At that time, they would be completely at the mercy of the Nightmare and wouldn’t be able to resist at all.

The Shaman, Kerza, also hurried over. The old man’s voice was anxious as he advised, “Sir Wizard, Albert is right. Hurry up and get rid of this Nightmare. Otherwise, if it breaks free of the vines, we will all lose our lives.”

Based on Shaman Kerza’s understanding of magic, no magic was eternal. Although the Nightmare seemed to be tightly bound by the vines, no one could guarantee how long the vines would be able to hold it. If it broke free, the entire Achute Tribe would suffer as well. The previous rounds of battles would all be for naught, and the dead tribesmen would also die in vain.

Seeing that everyone was questioning his actions, Heath knew that he would definitely give an explanation no matter what. He smiled. He explained, “Please don’t worry, Shaman. The vine that binds this monster is called the Binding Vine. It’s made by us Wizards with special magic. Once it’s bound, even a Grand Knight won’t be able to shake it off. Although this monster’s strength is indeed out of the ordinary, it’s still far from breaking free from the Binding Vine. It’s impossible for it to break free.”

The Binding Vine was forged by a Wizard using multiple vines and some extremely viscous magic. Other than being afraid of flames, it basically had no flaws. The battle just now with this so-called Nightmare had fully demonstrated that they were all pure physical monsters. It was impossible for it to escape.

“This…”

After listening to Heath’s explanation, Shaman Kerza’s worried expression eased a little, but that was all. He still couldn’t be at ease when facing this terrifying monster.

He couldn’t help but ask Heath, “But Sir Wizard, why aren’t you destroying this Nightmare and tying it up?” Heath didn’t hide anything and immediately explained, “I want to bring it back and study it. I want to find out where this thing’s power comes from.”

When he had just fought with these Nightmares, Heath had felt extremely strange. These things clearly had very strong power, but why could his spiritual power not detect their power at all? Other than that… their biological composition did not seem to be similar to any demonized creature that Heath knew. This made Heath very curious. Since there was a chance to study a living body, he naturally could not miss it… That was why he had tied up this Nightmare. “Research?”

Shaman Kerza widened his eyes. The other Underground Gnomes also looked at Heath in disbelief, as if they were looking at some kind of monster.

The power of the Underground Gnomes came from their own growth. In their eyes, power was something that they would naturally possess when they were born. They would not think about where the power came from… Not to mention researching this kind of monster. In their eyes, this kind of monster was something that they could not avoid. How could they still study it? In their minds, there wasn’t the word ‘research’.

Heath nodded. Without avoiding it, he said, “Yes, for a Wizard, understanding the principles of things is the meaning of a Wizard’s existence. Any Wizard standing here would not miss such a strange thing.”

“This…” The Shaman frowned.

The other Underground Gnomes also started whispering “The Wizard wants to study that Nightmare. Did I hear wrong? This is too crazy, too crazy.”

“That monster should be dealt with as soon as possible. Why would the Wizard want to study it? This is not a good idea.”

“Yeah, I think it’s better to forget about it. Let’s get rid of it quickly. If we let it escape, we’ll be in big trouble.”

Heath frowned.

He thought it would be a simple matter, but he did not expect these Underground Gnomes to care so much. However, Heath was not a person who would give up easily. If these Underground Gnomes still wanted to stop him here… Then he could only do as he pleased.

This Nightmare was taken down by him. Since the monsters that the Underground Gnomes could not destroy with their entire clan’s strength were easily destroyed by him, then they should know that they had no right to stop him.

“Silence!” At this moment, a cold sneer sounded…
