In front of the altar, the battle instantly exploded with heat!
Downton's luck lies in having Homer. Otherwise, even if they cracked the magic circle and entered the altar, they would have been bruised and bruised by the skeleton cannon fodder, leaving no room to fight against the stone puppets!
The stone statue's attack power and defense are at the war level, surpassing Downton, but its wild fighting style that completely abandons defense does more harm than good.
"Downton, focus on the head, where the soul core is!" Homer reported the detected weakness.
"Yeah!" Downton sincerely thanked Homer. If it weren't for him, he would have been exhausted and couldn't find the point.
Downton held his shield and struck hard in succession. Each time, he was able to deflect the spear thrust from the stone statue in time, and then hit its head.
"That's right, that's it!" Homer saw that Downton was fine and began to direct Seles and Walnut to fight.
The little lolita is pretty good, but she just doesn’t know how to adapt, so she is clumsy and clumsy. Celes, needless to say, has average fighting skills, but Jackson is as cunning as a swimming fish. Even though he was injured, he still can’t do anything.
It's an unimportant part and not fatal at all.
The stone statue stopped, swung its arms, and dozens of gun flowers suddenly burst out from the spear, covering Downton.
Downton did not dodge or evade, and used all his strength to smash the shield at him.
Boom, with a harsh impact, the gunfire disappeared and the spear was missed.
Downton bent down, stepped forward with long legs, rushed to the stone statue, and raised his shield from bottom to top.
boom!
The edge of the shield hit the stone statue's chin, knocking it backwards. Downton jumped up and the shield fell down.
boom!
The stone statue's head lowered again.
"We must be faster!" Downton fell behind the stone statue and continued to attack. He did not dare to relax his attack at all. He was deeply afraid that if there was a pause, the opponent would catch him and launch a counterattack.
Downton's strength is weaker than that of the stone puppet. Now he can gain the upper hand, relying solely on his superior strength and the defensive power of the order suit.
Under the continuous heavy blows, the stone statue has more and more cracks on its body, especially the head that was hit hard, and one-fifth of it has been shattered. Under the dim altar, it looks a bit scary.
"Attack! Attack again!"
Downton muttered silently in his mind, and followed the force-generating techniques taught by Homer, squeezing out the power from every inch of muscle, every fiber, and every cell.
Downton, who was wearing a white suit and showing no signs of being human at all, was fighting wildly with the stone statue. He looked more like a war machine than a war puppet.
"Big brother is so cool!" Hutao praised, but soon she discovered that something was wrong. Blood began to seep from the gaps in the armor, and there was also a dull coughing sound.
Downton's skin had cracked due to excessive exertion, and blood was splattered. His lungs felt like they were burning, and they were burning to death. He was coughing frequently, but he kept his mouth tightly closed because he was worried that if he gasped, he would cause
Weakness.
At this time, experienced magicians have long seen that Downton is at the end of his strength, and will inevitably switch offense to defense and consume Downton to death. However, the stone puppet is just a fighting machine. It does not understand this, and it is always executing the orders instilled by the director.
.
Fight, fight without reservation, sacrifice life and death.
Downton's will was absolutely dragon-slaying level. He was as tough as steel and suffered severe pain. However, his offensive did not weaken at all, but became more powerful.
Violent crashing sounds began to echo throughout the entire altar.
Bang, most of the stone statue's head was completely shattered, and its soul core was damaged. Its attacks and body suddenly became like a machine without lubricant, slowing down a lot.
"Many!" Downton kept up his efforts, his shield was like a mountain, and he hit hard again and again.
Boom! Boom! Crack!
The head of the stone statue was completely shattered. The headless puppet lost its balance, swayed wildly, fell to the ground, struggled, and then became smaller and smaller, unable to stop.
Hoo, ho!
Downton gasped for breath and wanted to support Hu Tao, but he couldn't support it anymore and sat down on the ground.
Wow, a mouthful of blood spat out from the mask and stained the floor.
"Big brother!"
"Are you OK?"
Celes and Hutao's faces were full of worry. If they weren't fighting, they would have run over.
"Don't worry about him. He won't die. Do your job well." Homer reminded, "Recover first, we can still stop him."
Homer did not let Hutao attack at all, but asked her to switch to a shield and focus on defense and intercepting the stone statue.
Although the little Loli was dissatisfied, she knew that this was not the time to lose her temper, so she patiently followed the order.
Hutao didn't brag, she did have war-level strength, especially under Homer's guidance, she made fewer mistakes, and she was evenly matched with the stone statue.
Seeing the miserable state of his master, Jackson didn't dare to be lazy. He actually swam behind the stone statue with a dagger, and when he got the chance, he stabbed him in the back of the head.
It has to be said that Jackson definitely has the talent to be an assassin. Although he rarely takes action, once he attacks, he is sure to hit. His vision for seizing the opportunity is really sharp.
Downton first threw himself a Divine Wind, then absorbed the magic energy from the top-grade magic stone, then picked up the weapon, continued to dual-wield it, and appeared next to the stone statue.
"Big brother!" Hutao moved out of the way.
"No, you do a defensive battle and suppress the stone statue. Downton can no longer withstand the attack." Homer objected.
"That's great, look at me!" Hutao wanted to show off, with all his firepower.
The stone statue can only have one main target. As a battle puppet without intelligence, Hutao has the strongest attack, so it naturally chooses to kill her first.
Downton sped up the attack frequency, but the intensity was not strong, chipping away at the stone statue's head bit by bit.
The long sword of order broke through the defense sharply, stone powder flew into the air, and the soul core in the head was exposed.
"Jackson, go all out!"
After hearing the master's order, Jackson didn't dare to neglect, and stabbed out the dagger firmly.
Injured to the core, the stone statue immediately turned around and stabbed Jackson with his spear.
Jackson ducked and retreated, and the stone statue pursued him.
"Don't run." Hu Tao was about to intercept, but Downton was faster. His long sword thrust like a flash of aurora into the stone statue's head, but this guy's head was hard enough. It didn't actually penetrate.
The stone statue's soul let out an angry roar, suddenly turned around, and fired its spear at Downton.
Downton ducked and ducked, while Hu Tao rushed behind the stone statue, tore apart the dragon's teeth and slashed at it, completely shattering its head.
The stone statue with a broken neck struggled a few times, fell down, and died completely.
"I, Di Polo, it's finally over." Jackson sat down on the ground, looking at the tattered body, wanting to cry without tears.
These injuries will take a long time to repair.
"Close the door!" Downton was even worse. He was completely exhausted and fell directly to the floor. His helmet was thrown away, revealing a pale face caused by excessive blood loss.
Because the magic energy was excessively depleted, he couldn't even release the Holy Revenge. However, he didn't dare to use it in such a fierce battle. If the magic energy was exhausted and there was no chance to replenish it, he would definitely become a piece of fish on the chopping board.
People ravage.
The grimoire floated over, closed the stone door, and even re-locked the magic lock. Then it floated back to Downton, stretched out its elemental arm, and took off the armor.
Wow, the blood in the armor flowed all over the floor.
Celes and Hu Tao's eyes immediately turned red. Once they took off their suits, they realized that Downton had completely transformed into a bloody man. His clothes were soaked with blood.
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead." Downton gasped weakly, comforting the two of them, "Homer, check quickly, are there any hidden traps?"
"There must be none. You don't count how many traps we have stepped on in order to enter here? If it were an ordinary person, we would have died several times."
Although Homer was confident, in order to reassure everyone, he still released five Eyes of the Abyss and scanned every corner. It took a full five minutes to make sure that everything was safe.
"What are you waiting for? Let's get the trophies!" Hutao looked at the hatred on the altar, his eyes full of curiosity.
"This is for Celes. She is a magician and needs close combat human shield protection." Downton touched the little Loli's head, "When the hate attack and defense are defeated, I will give you an ordinary one."
"I don't want it." Celes shook her head, "You are in a lot of trouble outside and need to increase your strength."
"Be good and obey me!" Downton coughed up blood.
"No, just don't." Celes became stubborn for the first time, "I am a magician. When I reach the war level, I can recruit magic servants. You have to wait until the judgment level for melee combat, so you need this most.
He only hates servants."
"Stop arguing, Downton, just take it!" Homer saw that Downton was still arguing, so he stopped him, "Celeste is right, they are magic servants. As long as their soul power is enough, they can recruit many magic servants.
, if you are really worried about her, you can just give her a few ordinary abominations."
"Okay!" Downton nodded and looked at the altar, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with using this abomination now? I don't have any fighting power anymore."
"Don't worry, it is your fighting power!" Homer floated to the top of the altar, "Celes, come here and learn from me how to install the core of the dead and sew the abomination!"
Celes curled her lips, very reluctantly, she hated corpses.
"I'll go too." Hutao jumped up and ran towards Abomination. Her resistance was much better than that of Downton. She was knocked away several times by the stone puppet, but she didn't even vomit a mouthful of blood.
"You have to work hard, you can't let a little loli compete with you." Downton warned himself secretly, and then fatigue was like a tide, sweeping over his nerves, making him unable to bear it, and he passed out.
Time passed quickly, and Downton dreamed of his sister Elaine. She scored first in the school again, got a scholarship, and then bought herself a gift...
"Brother, I wish you a happy birthday!"
When Elaine took a piece of cake and spread it on Downton's face quietly, he was also woken up.
"What are you laughing at? You look very happy!" Hu Tao almost pressed her cheek against Downton's, blinking at him with her big eyes.
"It's nothing!" Downton took a deep breath and felt that there was no pain in his whole body. "How long have I been sleeping? How is Abomination?"
"Having slept for five hours, Homer has sewn the core of the dead into Abomination's body. Now it's just waiting for you to wake it up!"
"Master, let me carry you!" Jackson ran over, knelt on the ground in a very awkward manner, and looked at Downton with a smile.
"No, just hold me up!" Downton also wanted to save face. It would be too embarrassing to be carried on his back.
Staggering and still a little dizzy, Downton spent a lot of time before walking up the steps.
Abomination still maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee. The chains that were tied to the stone pillar and body were untied, but they were all wrapped around two thick arms.
"Didn't you say that you need to instill instructions?" Downton was puzzled, "How can I make it recognize me as its master?"
"Your blood is all over the floor, just collect some." Homer saw Downton's worry, "Don't worry, blood is the most infallible. There are no two identical leaves in this world."
, will not have the same bloodline. From now on, you will be its master."
"That's good." Downton trusted Homer's professional knowledge very much.
"There is no need to instill instructions or anything like that. Those are operations that only low-level puppets need. This one should have simple intelligence. Just tell it what you want it to do!"
"How should I wake it up?" Looking at this big man, Downton was also a little excited.
"Press its vest, release the soul power, communicate with its core of the dead, establish a connection, and then infuse it with magic energy to activate it."
Downton touched Abomination's back and felt the coldness. Then he closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.
The soul seeds circulated, overflowing with soul power, and entered the body of Abomination like tentacles, and then touched the core of the dead, but it was as cold as a lifeless piece of iron and had no reaction at all.
The soul power rushed over, but it couldn't be stored at all. The core of the dead was like a rock, bouncing all the soul power away.
"Homer tricked me, this doesn't seem to be easy!" Downton muttered, but he was not discouraged. He mobilized his soul power like a step up and let them attack the core of the dead like a tsunami.
It's been five minutes, and Downton hasn't moved. Hu Tao was so anxious as he waited, "It's not ready yet?"
"Shh!" The elemental arm covered the little Loli's mouth.
Downton found that he had made a mistake. The core of the dead was not a soul seed and did not need to be flushed. What it needed was to be awakened. So he quickly hurriedly strategized and turned the soul power into a spiral, rotating at one point, slowly.
Got in.
The tactic was successful. The shell of the core of the dead became loose, and the soul power entered, finally touching the core.
In an instant, countless scenes flooded into Fan Juan and Downton's mind like a tide.
Boom, like being hit by a sledgehammer, Downton's body was shaken violently, and he saw many incredible scenes.
A seed sprouted, grew slowly, and then stretched its vines, gradually spreading to the surroundings. After a while, these afterimages turned into a young monster, struggling to survive, until it was promoted to the super level and became a lord...
Downton didn't know that these scenes were the original owner of the Dead Core and the remaining memories on his body. As they were activated, they also entered his brain.
"Eh? What's going on?" The chaotic memories disappeared, and Downton also felt the core of the dead beginning to vibrate. He thought it was okay, but his soul power suddenly went berserk, and soul seeds poured out uncontrollably, running toward
