Groups of illusory black figures gathered from every corner of the village, holding hoes, hatchets and other weapons in their hands, moving towards the hill where the altar stood like real living people. The firelight flickered on their charred bodies.
, leaving footprints of ashes and sparks along the way.
The ending of the history of the villagers of Xiluo Village is sad. They gathered to fight against the monsters that could annihilate the extraordinary team, and they were destined to meet a tragic ending.
Griffith and Galadia walked among this group of terrible residents, and curses were whispered in their ears from time to time.
“Kill him! Kill him!”
“Kill that monster!”
“Throw him into the pit of the earth dragon!”
Griffith looked up at the top of the hill. In the shade of the trees, a black whirlwind that looked like mosquitoes and ashes was rising straight into the sky from the top of the mountain.
The battle is about to begin.
Griffith looked at the elf. They had been together for a while, and sometimes they could sense each other's thoughts without words.
His living corpse subordinates all turned their heads away, staring at her with their rotten and pale eyeballs.
Garadia was frightened by being stared at, so she began to honestly explain her abilities and share information:
“I have the dual characteristics of Loremaster, Sequence 8 of the Spellcaster Path, and Traveler, Sequence 8 of the Ranger Path.
“Needless to say the characteristics of the savant, I can also add light and wind spells to weapons without a magic wand, mainly to enhance the damage or movement restriction, and purify the effect.
"The traveler trait has strengthened my agility, precision and insight. I am good at discovering magic, traps, and abnormal conditions. I have two extraordinary abilities. One is the 'blast', which can burst out a powerful single shot with the help of energy storage and mental power.
Attack, or enhance the rate of fire for a short time; the other is called "Wind Movement", which can improve agility, get rid of magic constraints and greatly increase the probability of evading physical attacks.
"When I get the attention and blessing of the gods, I will have unusual good luck. If I consume a lot of mental power, my innate magic eyes contain the 'power of nature', which can catalyze and mobilize plants for attack or assistance.
, it can also use 'mental whipping' to traumatize the target's consciousness, restrict its actions and thinking in a short period of time, and deepen the damage. You have seen most of these abilities."
"It's really powerful," Griffith nodded, "but when the fight breaks out, you still have to stay mobile and don't be greedy for the temporary attack results."
“I got it!~”
The blackened crowd gathered on the top of the mountain. Griffith and the elf found a position with a wide view and waited for the vision to happen.
“Griffith, have you noticed? The style of this altar is a bit weird,” Galadia pointed to the side of the platform on the top of the mountain. There is a tall tower erected there.
The entrance to the tower is an irregular semicircle, decorated with eerie and pale fang-like carvings. Walking in from the entrance, the dark passage narrows little by little, and there are layers of fang carvings along the way, just like
It's like walking into a monster's mouth.
The body of the tower is even more weird. I don’t know what kind of materials it is made of. It is about 50 meters high. It looks like a gray wrinkled texture. As the body of the tower stretches upward, it gradually narrows, leaving a section that has long been broken.
section.
This thing looks like a dried earth-boring worm.
“The villagers here worship the Earth Dragon, and they must have received its blessings,” Griffith expressed his thoughts, “Maybe the Earth Dragon helped dig the ditches in the village.”
Galadia poked at the strange material on the tower: "It's not earth or stone, but it's very solid. By the way, there should be an earth dragon's cave nearby. Let's go look for it."
The elf took Griffith's sleeve and walked towards the back of the tower. As expected, there was a deep well covered with a wooden shed. The well mouth was very wide, dark and deep, and it was unknown where it led.
At this moment, the vision appeared again. Accompanied by uneasy and frightening trumpet sounds, the scenery began to peel off and decay, and the flat floor tiles seemed to be hot and hot as if they were being burned by fire. Waves of shrill cries and screams started from
came from not far away.
On the altar platform directly in front of the tower, the charred black figures gathered together had become a mess. They dropped their weapons and pushed each other to hide and hide. A black figure rushed over in a hurry and passed Griffey.
Next to Si, he fell into a dark well.
The monster with a torn bag on its head appeared again. Its height was similar to that of the butcher who died underground, but it was stronger and taller. It wielded a giant scythe and did not listen to the cries for mercy, killing the phantoms of villagers crowded together like wheat.
die.
The fallen villagers immediately disintegrated into broken ash and disappeared without even leaving their bodies. Huge cockroaches also swarmed in from all directions, almost filling the wide platform.
“Fight,” Griffith said. “Find out the true identity of this monster under the mask, and then the will of this sealed object will be satisfied.”
The cold air surged around him, and one ice gun after another materialized around him. The increasingly powerful frost spell could in many cases replace the inconvenient heavy-throwing gun to provide considerable damage.
He condensed an ice spear, weighed it lightly in his hand, and then took a stance.
At the same time, the five living corpses dispersed. They did not rush to fight, but covered the outside of Galadia, trying to follow her movements to drive away and block the dense cockroaches.
The monster that was killing the villagers suddenly slowed down and staggered on the spot as if it was unconscious.
Galadia performs mental whiplash on monsters. Monsters affected by this ability will fall into a state of slow movement and confusion, and the trauma they receive during this period will be more serious.
Griffith threw a lightning-fast blow at the monster that was close at hand that could penetrate the shield. The cold light tore the air and exploded a mass of flesh and blood on the monster's chest. The ice gun penetrated the monster's chest and spurted out
A large lump of yellowish-brown liquid.
The monster moved wildly. It grabbed the illusion of a villager and held it in front of its chest. The second ice gun shot penetrated the villager's body and penetrated deeply into the monster's waist and abdomen.
At the same time, the monster had already escaped the dizziness and sluggishness of the mental whipping, and moved towards him with vigorous strides.
Griffith threw a bottle of slowing potion at the monster. The yellow-brown potion exploded around the monster, grabbing the monster's legs and feet like muddy hands.
The burly monster continued to move forward and even escaped from the deceleration effect.
It has good resistance against demons!
Griffith felt a chill in his heart. Such characteristics are rare in the countryside or among dark forces.
But now was not the time to think about this problem. He held the last ice gun in his hand and ran quickly. He wanted to control the distance and direction between the monster and Galadia, and give full play to the elves' long-range firepower.
Although the monster in front of you is powerful, it has no armor or magic equipment. It wastes its physical advantage. As long as you control the rhythm and distance, you can consume it.
Galadia's arrow hit its head, accurately entering from the left eye. Swarms of cockroaches chased her from behind. With the lessons learned from the last time, she dexterously maneuvered under the cover of the living corpses, looking for opportunities.
Bow and arrow again.
She and Griffith circled along the platform, always keeping a safe distance.
Whenever the cockroaches swarm, Griffith rushes into the swarm and uses the bursting power of his Streamer Shield to disperse them.
Galadia's light and elegant figure is rolling and jumping. Her archery skills are very superb, and she can even find an opportunity to accurately shoot an arrow while running at high speed.
Ordinary feather arrows are enchanted, and each arrow comes with light, penetrating the monster's thick flesh and causing severe damage.
In just a few minutes, this monster with terrifying strength could no longer hold up.
It suddenly stopped chasing, grabbed a black shadow of a villager running away beside him, put it under his pocket to his mouth, ripped off the skin and bit it like a tomato. The murdered villager was obviously just a black shadow without flesh and blood, but he let out a scream.
, splashing out ashes like water.
The wound of the monster that was devouring the villagers quickly stopped bleeding, and even squeezed out the arrows that had penetrated into the flesh. The wound was crawling with pieces of granulation, and it seemed that it would not take long to be repaired as before.
“Cover me!”
Griffith threw out the ice spear in his hand, and held the short spear to circle the monster's flank. With the assistance of such powerful vitality, the elf's bow and arrows would be exhausted first, and fatal injuries must be caused as soon as possible.
The third ice spear pierced the monster's right arm, but it seemed not to care and only wanted to devour the villagers. Griffith dodged to the right side of the monster and stabbed the devouring monster in the ear.
"Ouch!" The short spear pierced the monster's right ear. With a terrifying howl, the torn bag, half of the ear, and a piece of flesh flew out.
This violent howl is like a mountain monster, with the ability to make people dizzy and slow.
Griffith was stunned by the heart-rending roar. Before he could see the monster's face clearly, an arm swept from nowhere and was knocked away.
The trainee knight felt like he was hit by a heavy cavalry, rolling on the ground, and all the bones and internal organs in his body were wailing and shaking.
Having a vague feeling, it seemed like someone was lifting him up and pouring a warm liquid into his mouth.
The liquid felt hot, sticky and thick, and it was probably the healing potion he carried. After drinking the potion, Griffith gradually regained consciousness and found Galadia supporting himself against a low wall.
In front of them, the monster whose hood was shot off was slowly raising its head. Yellow-green blood gushes out from its right ear like a fountain. It was only then that the two of them saw the monster's true face clearly.
The monster's torso and limbs are indeed similar to the human body, with a thick neck and broad facial bones. It slowly raised its head and stared at the humans and elves who had injured it.
The ears that were previously covered were pointed and long, the eyes were blood red, and the big mouth seemed to have torn off the cheeks, revealing four upper and lower fangs.
Orcs.
But compared with the orcs Griffith had seen in the east, this monster lacked the majestic momentum of the orcs, and was more agile and viciously cruel.
It is somewhat similar to Rudias' Orc, but different.
Griffith struggled to stand up, guarding Galadia behind him: "Someone cultivated it here! This area is the territory of Salorian Pavilion. He and his assistant Velonos seem to be related to Lu
There is a connection with Diaz’s orc experiments.”
Galadia glanced at him with a calm expression: "We will discuss the reasons for this later. After leaving the sealed object, we must keep the secret for a while. Sequence 4 demigods are not easy to mess with. I will let my family intervene.
investigation.
"This monster has shown the characteristics of resisting magic, has powerful devouring and healing abilities, and can use the 'heart-breaking' control ability like a mountain monster. Its true physical strength is likely to be in Sequence 6, but as a seal
It is part of the abnormality of the object, it is not real, and the intelligence and some abilities may have been weakened."
