The demon punched, but the girl dodged the attack, at that moment my ice block hit my face with force. The demon roared, and gates flared up around the circle of the arena, and then dozens of hounds jumped out of them.- Center! Fog cried out in despair. - Aki, Laska, the hounds are on you. Tanchi, cover the magicians, I'm doing well. Krista, Rox, fuck me. Osh, Tera, help the killers. Tim, cover the healers.The healers and I moved under the protection of Tanchi, while the Mist distracted the demon. Aki and Weasel ran around the site, randomly attacking one hound, then another, but could not distract everyone. Two rushed at us, deftly dodging the arrows of the archers. Tanchi shifted sharply, the xag ran into the shield, the swordsman hit the creature with force in the stomach. She jumped back, screeching and splattering blood. Another one ran into me. More precisely, she rushed towards Krista and Rox, but I got in the way. The claws cut painfully across the chest, but the stone skin

Depths of darkness. Part 4I woke up abruptly, like a man who overslept without hearing the alarm, and suddenly realized it. He quickly jumped to his feet. Looks like I'm still alive. The gaze was focused on the upper left corner. The hit points are full, and the level is now 9. It crunched under my feet. I looked down. Beneath me are a bunch of greenish shards.For a few seconds I did not understand what it was, but suddenly I realized that it was a crystal with the energy of chaos. Apparently falling, I hit the crystal and split it. All thanks to stone skin. I remember watching a video a long time ago in which a convinced jeweler placed a small diamond on a press, and then the broadcaster hit it with a hammer. The jeweler was sure that the diamond would hold up - after all, it is one of the strongest minerals in the world. Only now a blow with a hammer, made without much effort, turned the diamond into powder. Apparently it happened here as well. Only my body, covered with stone ski

But it is not surprising. The dungeon has become stronger, which means that the boss has become more dangerous and tenacious.The saddest part is that I can't get out of here without killing him. Damn, how many hit points does he have anyway?I attacked again. A message appeared that 43 damage was dealt to the enemy. He dodged, the lightning broke from his hand and, striking into the water, scattered to the sides with a discharge. The enemy shook, an op swept through the area, and I was informed that 44 damage had been done. The spread is because lightning deals 35 damage, if you add 25% of the magic attack modifier to that, you get an incomplete number - 43.75. That is why the number 43 appears every three strokes.The mana is over, and the demon, though breathing heavily, is still alive. I dodged another bunch of black flames, staggered. It floated before my eyes. There is heat and closeness around, steam rises from the water. It's hard to breathe.“You will die even if I never hit

I looked up, but above me there was only solid blackness. It will be necessary to get up and take away the equipment and items from the guys, and even take them out and bury them or something.I looked around the area. It's strange, but it seems like it's getting darker. The light from the stones became dim, visibility dropped to a minimum. As soon as I thought about it, the space around me began to tremble. I heard a crunch, and then a huge stone emerged from above from the darkness and hit with a roar a few steps away from me. Stone chips splattered in all directions.I rushed to the wall, grabbed, pulled myself up. It looks like this cave was created using chaos magic, but once the crystal was destroyed, it began to leave the walls of the cave and eventually dried up so much that everything began to collapse.I climbed at top speed. At this critical moment, the great climber woke up in me. All the films, climbing programs immediately surfaced in my memory, where it was shown how pe

Alchemy.At first, I tensed, thinking that my troubles were not over yet, but when I saw Alex among the fleeing ones, I calmed down.Why don't you reply to messages? Where are the others? he murmured, running up to me.Armed men who looked almost the same as some typical celebrity bodyguards - all tall, muscular, with serious faces, in identical suits - helped me out.Just now I noticed blinking icons in the lower left corner, announcing a private message. In general, while crawling in a narrow passage, and then digging the ground, I was so focused that I did not notice such trifles.- Somehow it was not before, - I muttered, shaking off the ground.- So what about the others? The guys were on my friend list, and then suddenly notifications about their deaths began to come.I winced slightly and looked down. Before the eyes again began to flash pictures of the battle, when they began to kill one after another. I felt like I was back in the arena. Again he ran across the monster, but w

- Yes. I'll just eat and go.- Good luck then.He hung up and I sighed. From the left came the sound of the elevator doors opening. I tensed up, squinted in that direction. Three men with stern faces came out of the elevator, they confidently followed in my direction. I retreated to the door of the apartment, but the men, to my relief, stopped twenty paces from me at the door of one of the apartments.I dived back into myself.I don’t know who they are, what they are doing here and why they came, but this is clearly none of my business.My eyes fell on the capsule. The dim light that pours from the window leaves a glare on the convex surface. I want to eat, but these types are standing there. Wait until they leave?Angry at my own cowardice, I took a kitchen knife and tucked it in my belt, put on my jacket and left the apartment. Two of the three are still standing in the corridor, talking about something. Noticing my approach, one pushed the other on the shoulder and pointed in my di

- And this too, - Alast said with a slight smile. “But the main thing is understanding how everything happens. With this understanding, both recipes are easier to learn and create new potions, combine existing ones, and the like.I mentally whistled. Looks like a real goldmine here.“Before we start, I would like to make sure you have enough money. Education costs three hundred thousand. Do you have that much money?- Yes.- Excellent.He froze, looking at me questioningly.“Oh, yes, I’ll translate it now,” I said, realizing.As soon as my account decreased by three hundred thousand. Alast smiled broadly.- Excellent. Well then, let's not delay. I still need to brew potions today - tomorrow a couple of clients should come. So, there are three types of potions: restoring, changing and destroying. In general, alchemy is not only potions, but I think that this part is more important to you.- Well, everything is important to me.- Potions are the basis. So let's start with them. The corr

"And how do you imagine that? She was on the raid, so she should rightfully get something."“Only what dropped in the raid. You didn’t tell her about the scimitar?”"Not. She just came and asked for your contact. She doesn't know what happened.""That is great. So say it's nothing."“So she can see from the logs! Everything that fell from the boss is written in the general chat of the group. And if we refuse, then she will turn to a higher authority and present the chat recordings as evidence. And when they see that there was a scimitar, but it did not pass through the corporation, they will already ask specific questions to me, and then to you. We'll be lucky if we get off with fines and several years in prison.""Don't be afraid, Alex. She will not see anything in her logs, because before killing the boss, I left the group, ”I said.There was silence for a few moments.“You are smart, Tim. So you left the group?“Well, I thought everyone was dead. And looking at the dark nicknames o

- And if you just give the crossbow? Yura murmured.- On the one hand, the possession of this crossbow is really a big hemorrhoids, - Genghis Khan nodded, - and on the other hand, incredible luck and a chance to get out of this world twenty years earlier. But in order to take advantage of this chance, you don’t have to “wait for the weather by the sea”, but take “hands in feet” and go, as these boobies say - swing.“But it doesn’t seem so bad here,” Zhenya said thoughtfully. “At least as long as the said Guardians are pleased with you.Genghis Khan shook his head.- You know, I envy you a little: the first ten years in this world are in many ways a happy time, albeit full of severe trials. But man is a complex creature, not only pain and suffering move us forward. With every year spent in this place, indescribable nostalgia, longing, longing for the place lying there ahead will grow stronger in you.

Gather brother!True, what does the philosopher have to do with it and where to take the mentioned lads, the gopnik did not specify.Genghis Khan sighed, snapped a cunning crossbow from his belt, put the weapon on the bed next to Tuen, and he himself took a free chair, of which there were several in the room, put it next to the bed, sat down and, raising his hand, waved to everyone:- Hi.Kolya, meanwhile, was blushing like cancer, realizing that he was slightly frostbitten.- Valuable advice "on the track", - Genghis Khan continued, - if the Guardians offer something, it is better to agree. But do not rush to do what is proposed according to their scenario: these guys will definitely try to drag you into the very ass. Try to work with your head and go to your goal in your own way. Which, of course, will not always succeed.What are martial skills? - Zhenya immediately clarified the information on the reward for the quest.Genghis Khan, without getting u

Having experimented a little, she chose the desired menu item:**1) Accept the task.**In vain did the girl think that her misadventures were over, the event that happened a moment later divided her whole life into before and after.

Dietrich, having analyzed his part of the work, was frankly depressed. Since Paul and Genghis Khan got formidable, but, in fact, single targets, and his opponents "spread" over a very large area. Fortunately, this square was constantly squeezed by the city guard, but they also added new hemorrhoids - as if not to knock down someone outside and not to spoil valuable property.Without hindrance, passing the place of deployment of the defenders of the city, the German hurriedly walked out to the port facilities. Stopping in the middle of a dark port street, he assessed the situation. At the moment, the "front line" between the pirates and the defenders of the city passed in a place where hangars and warehouses tightly adjacent to each other ended and residential buildings began. The port was a semi-closed territory, into which several wide streets led, but at the same time, various small streets and lanes were completely absent. At night, guards were stationed at the exits of the port, w

Genghis Khan was rapidly approaching the western coast. Having parted with his comrades, he did not want to go down to the ground and was now moving towards his goal using exclusively the city roofs. In practice, jumping on tiles had two subtleties: first, it was necessary not to ruin the roof during repulsion, and second, it was necessary not to ruin it when landing. The one mentioned was bad. And the man consoled himself with the hope that for the sake of a great cause, a mountain of broken tiles would be forgiven him. Having shortened the path in this way and at the same time assessed the situation in the city, he very soon found himself on the coast.Here, standing by the embankment, Genghis Khan pulled back his sleeve from his wrist, revealing to the night an elegant silver bracelet covered with dense rows of reddish runes. Giving the artifact a mental command, he began to patiently peer into the darkness of the sea. Finally, the pirate ship snapped back with another salvo, revea

Fizruk disappeared. In his place, another, already middle-aged actor from a film about a sophisticated cannibal appeared, who ate other actors and especially loved gelatinous brains. And Yura was afraid of this actor.- Why not? The task of the Final Set is to help you get through the path to the end, to give strength that is inaccessible at the current level of development. Our meeting was not without fate, but if she drags you, then she only gives me strong advice, so don’t be arrogant. There was a place and commonality: it's funny - you and I are similar in a certain set of emanations, as a lion and a kitten are similar. And the last of the weighty ones - for some reason I wanted to play on the nerves of Vega and Zegero. Vega is the bearded man who gave the green light to your possession of the Fourth Treasure of Darkness. He and Zegero run the show here. Vega is nothing less than a galaxy, but not the one you think of. Zegero is the largest black hole in observable space. And a ra

- Good question, bad answer. Your shattered head will provoke her into attacking the blackbeard. She will snatch out a cunning stiletto that is hidden in her belt and try to drive twenty centimeters of death under the shoulder blade of the leader of the pirates. But, alas, the weight categories are too different: a short blow, and after the third bullet today. Trite, sad, but true.- Can I do something?!The "actor" thoughtfully touched his chin with his hand, and then issued:- And why, maybe it's better to go home, at the computer ...- How is it, home? Yura didn't understand.- Yes, it's very simple. Here you are, and here you are at home, celebrating your luck from the bow knocked out of the boss, lazily brushing off offers to sell it, or join a new community of players more worthy of you. What is it called, “flock” it seems, but no, in another way - “clan”. Well, what a mess in your Sharapov head, - and Kukuruz looked at the hitman with a look, as if he was going to sew a shirt f

Pondering the plan of action, Yura became despondent. The reason for despondency, as is often the case, lay in the details. First, the current fence turned out to be quite high, about the height of a man, and metal spiers stuck out on top of this fence, not very sharp, but a piece of hoodie can easily be left. Secondly, the road between the residence and the territory of the garden, in which the “guerrilla-scout” sat down, was very well lit. And now, carefully parting the branches of the bush, the young man clearly saw the bustle of armed men in the courtyard of the building he needed.“What did I get here at all! Although no, it’s clear what’s useful: it’s likely that Erita really has problems. The question is, how can I, a fool, solve these problems ... ”the hit man groaned to himself and began to think about how, if not to solve the problems, then at least not to produce new ones.Alas, the thinker did not generate anything worthwhile.

In a pant, another kilometer and a half flew by, during which it became clear that there was not so much left of the former Yura in him, at least bodily. He couldn’t run more than a kilometer before, and “run” is not quite the right word, “puff” was more suitable. However, the current Yura was far from the condition of a super hero, which is why he was incredibly out of breath.Suddenly, "the scenery changed" and the young man ended up in the area of posh mansions of wealthy citizens. The mansions were located in even rows, which were separated from the road by low bars. The road itself was illuminated by frequent, but not very bright gas lamps. A sort of holiday village of extra-class. And now, only two hundred meters separated from the beginning of the nobility district to the residence of the lord of the hitman. Just run a little forward, turn left and go out to the large ornate gates of the monastery of the local ruler. What Yura immediately decided to do. And he almost fell i
