As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is not without reason that they are known as the descendants of the phoenix.

The Sequence 6 Sunbird is considered one of the strongest magical beasts in the Sun Ruins. With almost no natural enemies, it's naturally fearless of external enemies.

Even though there are cubs in the nest, as long as it sits there, no magical beasts will come to offend it.

Unfortunately, this time it met a cunning two-legged beast.

The arrow broke through the air and exploded above the head of the Sunbird with a stream of water-blue light.

The dozing Sunbird was suddenly surprised. It screamed, spread its wings and soared into the sky like a gorgeous sun.

Only after the screaming bird flew away did Roy emerge from the woods and walk towards the nest with a swagger.

It was still a bit difficult for the Sequence 6 Warcraft to face the combination of three Sequence 7 and one Sequence 8 students.

But the exam is not a fight to the death.

If you just want to steal the cubs or eggs, there is no need to confront the Sunbird head-on.

Roy was able to get full marks, which shows that his theoretical knowledge is quite solid.

He knew very well that the Sunbird had been living too comfortably, causing its brain to be less active and easily distracted.

As long as the mother bird is lured away, the little bird will become a chicken to be slaughtered.

The only thing to be wary of is that the young sunbirds are very sensitive to hostility. Once disturbed, they will scream loud enough to resound through the sky and call their mother back.

So, Roy volunteered to take on the most critical task of catching the cubs.

[Still as still as water].

The mermaids' unique breathing method can suppress their heartbeat, pulse, and extraordinary aura to the extreme, thus completely disappearing from the other party's subconscious.

This is not invisibility or illusion, but it can be done. Even though you can be seen by other people, you just can't find your trace.

Unless one is a transcendent with extremely sharp enemy-finding ability and sixth sense like the Forest Elf, even if the enemy is one or two levels higher, he may not be able to see through the true nature of this move.

Roy also learned from previous lessons that the mermaids themselves were not very powerful, and this trick was originally used by them to avoid those powerful deep-sea monsters.

With the help of [Calmness as Still Water], Roy walked slowly into the huge nest as if strolling in the garden.

Things went better than he expected.

However, the scene inside the nest was far from what Roy had expected.

Looking at this horrifying scene, he finally realized that it was not because he hid it too well.

“What the hell…”

The chicks, which should have been vibrantly feathered and crying for food, were now reduced to bones. The unhatched eggs were shattered, spilling a stream of dark blood. Pair after pair of hollow eyes were filled with endless resentment and despair.

Most importantly, Roy was too familiar with this eerie and terrifying aura.

[School of the Undead], only those crazy people who deal with corpses can create such a sanity-destroying scene in front of us.

Shouldn't...

Recalling Envy's abnormally pale face, Roy immediately sounded the distress signal.

But the signal flare did not sound, and there was no response after pulling it for a long time.

Roy glanced at the bird familiar mechanically circling above his head.

Normally, if there were any unexpected events during the exam, the teacher monitoring the exam would issue instructions through the bird familiar. But in the scene just now, the familiar remained motionless...

Without caring about violating the rules, Roy grabbed the flying bird and found that the magic circle engraved on the bird had also been destroyed.

This was obviously prepared.

And he wasted such a huge amount of money, most likely because of himself...

Just at this moment, a terrifying cold breath came from afar, and a pale pillar of fire shot straight into the sky.

Without thinking, the young man with a serious expression immediately set off, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Just in time.

The enemies hiding in the dark are the ones that are scary, but since you dare to take action, I don’t mind catching you out!

----------

"Ah, wow, wow! No, isn't it said that the Sunbird is docile and won't use its full strength against weak creatures? This doesn't seem right at all, does it?!"

Jiayika, who was crouching behind the boulder with her head in her hands, let out a crying scream.

"How the hell should I know!" Mark, who was also hiding on the other side, yelled.

Facing the firebird circling in the air, among the three, only White could fight back with a bow and arrow.

White stared into the air and said seriously, "That guy is very wrong!"

"You don't have to tell me, anyone can see it, right?!" Mark was a little crazy.

Even though they didn't have as strong theoretical knowledge as Roy, the three of them could see that something was clearly wrong with the Sunbird.

The once vibrant crimson feathers on its chest and abdomen had now fallen away, exposing its bare bones. The golden-red flames that the Sunbird should have emanated were now tinged with a pale, ominous aura. Wherever it passed, vegetation withered and beasts rotted, a far more terrifying sight than simple flames.

The flares were ineffective for some reason, and the Sunbird, displaying agility beyond that of ordinary monsters, destroyed their bird familiar right from the start.

This was far beyond common sense in exams, and left the three of them a little overwhelmed.

"No, no more exams! I want to go home! Why hasn't the teacher come to save us?!"

Facing Jiayika's crying, Mark shouted angrily: "Stop making noise!"

"Without the teacher, we can only rely on ourselves!"

"That's right. As a transcendent, how can you just sit there and surrender?!"

The two young men looked at each other, both with determination in their eyes, and endless courage burning in them.

They stood up at the same time and charged at the birds and beasts above their heads.

At that moment, the boy's heroic figure was deeply reflected in Jiaika's eyes and brought her hope.

Mark leaped up and his fire fist exploded in mid-air.

He draws the bow and strings it, and the strokes flow like flowing water and clouds, all in one go.

However, the Sunbird just flew into the air a little and avoided Mark's punch, like a cat teasing a mouse.

Although White's attack hit, it was like a water gun and failed to cause any effect on the feathers covered with blue flames.

The two were silent for a moment, then turned around and ran.

"There's no way we can defeat this thing, right?!"

"You're right! So why did you rush out here to die?!"

"I just wanted to try...Ah♂!"

The Sunbird flapped its wings, raining down a shower of fire that blew both men away. Mark was the worst hit, hit squarely in the butt by the shower of fire, sending him spinning in mid-air like a rocket.

Jiaika shrank back silently and shed tears.

It's over! No matter how you look at it, this is a dead end!

The Sunbird also confirmed that the opponent was not a threat and swooped down.

Seeing the terrifying birds and beasts falling like meteorites, the three of them turned pale.

But at this moment, a sharp spear carrying clean water, like a meteor going against the current, accurately pierced the body of the bird or beast and intercepted it in mid-air.

Looking at the black-haired boy who arrived in time, Jiayi Ka, who had survived the disaster, shed tears but couldn't help but shout excitedly: "It's Roy, Roy is here, we are saved!"

Chapter 40: The Power of Purification

"finally come!"

Enwei, who was hiding in the dark and spying on the scene, couldn't help but laugh.

I originally wanted to kill these extra little ghosts first to prevent them from escaping and reporting the news, and then deal with Roy.

That’s great, he came to me himself, saving me a lot of effort!

Enwei rubbed his hands, unable to wait to enjoy the show.

Jiayika shouted excitedly, but the other two still looked as pale as death.

Mark admitted that he was upset with Roy, but not to the point where he wanted to see him die.

Moreover, even if he came to help, he would not be able to shake the powerful enemy of Sequence 6, and would only sacrifice a life in vain.

"Roy, are you crazy? That's Sequence 6. Even you can't defeat it!"

"That's right, don't worry about us, just run and get help!" White shouted anxiously, not wanting to drag Roy down.

Ignoring the two men, Roy stared at the increasingly pale bird and beast in the air, and said calmly, "That won't do."

"Running away from the battlefield is not my style."

How could we not catch the traitor who had come to our door? If we waited to call the teacher over, we would miss the opportunity.

However, these words had a different meaning in the ears of the three people.

He doesn't want to leave us!

Jiaika looked at the boy's back from afar, her face flushed with emotion. Mark was deeply shocked by his courage, while White lowered his head in shame, completely forgetting the old grudges from the dispute between the two schools.

The three of them mustered up their courage, stood up together, and came behind Roy.

"Mr. Roy, please let me help too!"

"Mad and this guy exploded!"

"It's my honor to fight alongside you!"

Roy was speechless.

No, don't be nervous.

It’s just Sequence 6, a small scene. It’s okay for you to sit down and watch the show.

The Sunbird in front of him was obviously corroded by necromancy, but it was much worse than a real undead creature.

At least it is much weaker than the original Undead Knight, but Roy himself has risen one level compared to that time.

But since you insist on helping me...

"Follow my instructions."

The Sunbird instinctively sensed a threat from the black-haired boy and was somewhat reluctant to continue the fight.

But the erosion of necromancy affected its mind. In the end, this cold murderous intent overwhelmed its instinct for survival, causing it to scream and re-launch its offensive.

The Sunbird spread its flaming wings high, trying to rain down fire again, but a powerful aura of oppression came down like an air hammer, abruptly stopping its movement.

【Longwei】!

"Now!"

At the young man's loud shout, the three of them split up and acted separately.

Jiaika released a large area of ​​healing smoke from [Fragrant Elk], quickly healing the injuries of the other two.

Mark jumped up, seized the gap when the Sunbird was frozen in mid-air, and punched it in the side.

At the same time, White fired several arrows, and the arrows wrapped in water fell on the tip of the wings one after another.

The Sunbird itself has the ability to protect its body with flames, and as it gradually becomes undead, its ability is further enhanced.

But even if they couldn't break its defense, following Roy's instructions, their attacks hit its weak points, disrupting the Sunbird's balance.

Being harassed repeatedly by the two, the Sunbird couldn't help but become a little frustrated, swinging pale flames around randomly, causing decay wherever it passed.

The slowly falling Sunbird planned to use its massive body to quickly end the battle.

It pounced with its sharp claws and caught Mark.

However, it didn't notice at all that the black-haired boy had already stood on top of its head, calmly raising the two swords that were flowing with clean water.

[Still as still as water].

The more chaotic the battle, the easier it is for Roy to hide himself.

Two sword lights whistled and fell, like a flash of lightning.
