Celes immediately became nervous and looked around anxiously. Fortunately, the casting action was not deformed and did not affect the attack.
Under the intense fire of phosphorus rockets, the spider swarm turned into a sieve, and flesh and blood spattered, smearing Downton like a bloody man.
"Where are the advanced intelligent creatures?"
Hutao waved his fists, and the spiders that were hit flew straight out like they were bombarded by steam engineering vehicles. After hitting the surrounding walls, their bodies were obviously fractured.
"Don't waste your energy and magic energy!"
Downton and Homer reminded at the same time that the high-level intelligent monsters did not appear, obviously to maintain the pressure, and even used shadow spiders as cannon fodder to consume their own magic energy and make everyone tired, resulting in a significant reduction in combat effectiveness before proceeding.
One hit kill.
"Here you the battle axe!" The grimoire's big bronze hand grabbed the torn dragon's tooth and threw it towards the walnut.
Phew, when the tomahawk whirled past the little Lolita, she quickly stretched out her hand, grabbed the handle of the axe, and slashed a spider into two pieces. Then her whole body spun like a tornado.
Standing up, the sharp battle ax was like a naginata, sweeping away the nearby spiders.
Limbs and flesh were flying everywhere, and the little loli was completely dyed red.
Downton's pressure immediately eased. If it were normal times, even if he was involved in a protracted war, there would be no problem in annihilating these spiders. However, he is still seriously injured. Although the divine wind and healing potion are effective, it will take some time to recover.
.
"Drink the potion and replenish the magic energy!" Seeing that half of the spider group was gone, Downton shouted quickly, and at the same time reached into the battle bag on his waist, grabbed a powerful magic potion, and poured it into his mouth.
The ghouls' formation shrank again, and they tried their best to protect Celes. In this kind of close combat, the most dangerous ones were actually the long-range magicians.
"Use arcane bombs instead, and kill the spiders in groups!" Homer commanded, "Wutao, come back quickly, your mission is to protect Celes."
Hu Tao always wants to prove herself. So she fights hard, but she chooses the wrong time.
Magical magicians are called the turret profession. As the name suggests, in group battles, their range magic can carpet-bomb enemies, and their efficiency is far superior to that of melee combat.
Walnut's protection of Celes not only allows the Death Banshee to unleash all her firepower without any worries, but the little Loli can also retain some combat power to deal with sudden crises.
Homer didn't care about Downton. He knew that the boy would definitely take care of himself.
"Wutao, be obedient!" Downton's voice slowed down. He understood that children at this age wanted to prove themselves to adults and were eager to be praised.
After Hu Tao pouted, he gave up, passed through the ghouls, and returned to Hu Tao.
The little Loli looked very sad because she knew that her first performance was a failure.
The fighting is still going on, but the situation is completely in Downton's hands. It is only a matter of time before they are all killed.
When the number of shadow spiders was still one third, the advanced intelligent creatures launched a sneak attack faster than Downton expected.
An arrow of boiling lava acid shot down from the hole in the ceiling, destroying one of Downton's soul shields, followed by the second and third arrows!
A blue liquid mass appeared above Downton's head. He received an attack.
The remaining spiders bypassed Downton and rushed towards the ghouls in a swarm, laying siege to them.
A monster with the lower body of a spider the size of a rhinoceros and the upper body of a demon jumped out of the breach and opened its mouthparts filled with disgusting teeth. Just as it was about to shoot the fourth acid arrow, Holy Revenge struck back.
A seven-meter-long golden dragon spear formed instantly, appeared above the ceiling, and shot out, piercing the monster's back.
Crash, black blood spilled down like a pouring rainstorm.
Boom, there was a surprise attack, and the monster was severely injured and fell solidly to the floor.
"It's a spider demon, kill it quickly!" Homer reminded.
The spider demon struggled to get up, but the acid arrow reflected by Dou Zhuanxing arrived and hit it on the head.
More than half of the skin and flesh were corroded and tightened by the boiling acid, turning it into a burnt black color, with a foul-smelling white steam steaming from it.
Downton charged, roaring a giant roar at the same time. After getting close, he slashed the head of the spider demon with a giant slash.
The entire chest of the spider demon was pierced by the dragon spear, leaving a hole, but its vitality was so strong that it was not dead yet. It waved two sharp sickle arms like a mantis, and after blocking and killing
, slashing at Downton.
The shadow spiders gave up besieging the ghouls, turned around, and rushed towards Downton like a tide, trying to squeeze him away and rescue the spider mother.
"Gather your firepower and kill it. Don't let it escape!" Downton risked his life, endured the severe pain on his body, and violently killed him.
"Don't worry about those spiders, kill the spider demon first!" Homer urged Celes, "Use your ultimate move!"
Both Downton and Grimoire can see that this monster has extremely high intelligence.
First use cannon fodder tactics to consume the enemy, and then conduct a sneak attack. The plan of the spider-turned-demon is very complete. Use the remaining spiders to contain others, and at the same time forcefully kill Downton. As the team leader and the main combat force, once he is killed, the rest of the team members
Even if you fail to defeat yourself, you will lose confidence and your combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced.
If it hadn't been for Divine Revenge that severely damaged the spider demon, with its soul strength of around level six, Downton would definitely have been in a tough fight.
Now seeing that the situation was not good, the spider demon decisively changed its tactics and asked the spiders to intercept Downton and prepare to retreat.
If it were another team and the pressure was suddenly relieved, most of them would not think of chasing. Unfortunately, the spider demon met Downton, dooming it to an unlucky fate.
Downton gritted his teeth and blocked the spider demon. If he let it escape, there would be endless troubles. He didn't want to be worried about a monster with high intelligence.
There is a group of spiders in the middle, so the magic servants and Hutao can't help for the time being, and Celes still needs to be the main attacker.
The Death Banshee did not disappoint. After chanting the spell, she pointed forward with the shower staff, and fired white undead missiles one after another at the spider demon.
A total of eight shots hit the target completely. Each bombardment would explode the spider demon's skin and flesh, and even the bones and debris would fly out.
After the second round of magic strikes, Homer quickly shouted stop.
The mutilated corpse of the spider demon fell on the floor, losing the spider mother of the tribe. Some spiders wanted revenge, some wanted to escape, and it became a complete mess.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Chase and kill to expand the results!" Homer scolded, Celes's tactical literacy is really poor, but there is nothing you can do about it, you can only cultivate it through actual combat.
Hutao felt aggrieved. She wanted to rush out and fight, but she was worried about being scolded.
Five minutes later, the battle ended, with only two fish slipping through the net, and the rest all turned into dead bodies, almost filling half of the corridor.
There was also a lot of sticky blood, covering up to the calf, and every step the ghoul took made a splashing sound.
"Great harvest!" Wisps of purple soul remains floated out from the corpse and were absorbed by the grimoire. This wave of mass killings was enough for Downton to pay off the sacrifices he spent to purchase Holy Vengeance.
"What exactly is that monster? A hybrid between a spider and a demon?" Downton hid in a room and took a temporary rest.
"The product of magical biological experiments." Homer was already familiar with it. "Some magicians like to use various species to fuse them through magical grafting, physical surgery, natural mating, etc., to produce new species, and then
Discover their value."
The new species may be highly medicinal, or they may be physically strong or highly intelligent combat servants. In short, the benefits are self-evident. Of course, there are also many disadvantages. There are also many magicians who have been killed by the new species they created.
.
"The magic councils of all planes have expressly prohibited such experiments, but there is no shortage of crazy magicians." Homer was very worried, "If it was done by the black-robed mage, then its rank would at least be Judgment
It’s time to step up.”
"Maybe not. Don't forget the teleportation array leading to Crow Ridge, the spiders deliberately raised in the Hohenzollern Bank to guard the vault, and the Abomination Workshop. I always feel that there is already a powerful guy running this place.
There's a dungeon." Downton looked at Celes, "Do you have any impression?"
"Black-robed mage? Impossible, it was almost torn into pieces by Uncle Hiller once." Celes tried hard to recall, "It seems that the bone has been guarding the church because it was defeated by a powerful guy.
I was forced to do that."
"The situation is worse than expected." Homer sighed. Sure enough, even if the pie falls in the world, it will not be easy to eat.
"No matter how bad the situation is, there is no way out!"
Downton would not stop moving forward because of these difficulties. After a short rest, he continued to search for the archives.
Because of the previous battle, almost all the spiders in the city hall were killed, so the next action was much easier.
After spending a long time, Downton and his party found the archives. During this period, they did not encounter any spider demons, but they found a lot of spider eggs. Of course, their fate was to be destroyed.
Seeing the huge room filled with tall bookshelves filled with various materials and documents, Hu Tao was dumbfounded, "How can I find this?"
Jackson picked up a book and flipped through a few pages. The crumbs fell down. It was too old.
"Don't worry, it's my turn to appear!" Seeing Downton's worry, Homer comforted him, and then released a green magic eye.
His eyes drifted close to the ceiling, and then he shot out dozens of green rays, scanning the bookshelf inch by inch. Five minutes later, he found the city's sewer map in a corner.
Homer 'sees' things not with his eyes, but with magic, so he can scan and copy them completely without opening the structural diagrams.
"How is it?" After completing the task, the grimoire floated in front of Downton, and the terrain of the sewer was projected. Not only was it complete, but it also had a three-dimensional structure, which was clear at a glance. (To be continued...)
