Chapter 8: Annihilation?
"What?"
All three looked back at Charles in disbelief, and then hurriedly looked at the Steelbone Demon Ape.
"You can't be wrong, it's already a magic beast!" Charles struggled to move his body, making a "rustling" sound in the rubble.
"Impossible, the teacher said that magic beasts can only evolve in places where the elements are rich, here..."
Cecilia frowned, suddenly remembering something, and looked back sharply at the place where she had just packed the main force of the tooth hunting.
I saw that the turban man and the others had already gone to the empty building, leaving only Duan Duan Qingteng and a sledgehammer in place.
At this time, a cloud flew by, briefly obscuring the dazzling sunlight, and several people suddenly found that among the crystal clear crystals, a faint yellow light was faintly emitted.
"Could it be..."
Ezek also thought of something, his face was solemn, and he said a little uncertainly: "Is it because of your hammer?"
The three of them had grown up in mercenary guilds, and they might not recognize the hooves of the Rockhorn Rhinoceros, but looking at such a huge crystal, they could probably guess how extraordinary this hammer was.
"I don't know, ahem..."
Charles struggled to sit up, the paralysis of his limbs caused by the lack of oxygen and pain had gradually disappeared, but his chest still hurt terribly when he tried hard.
"My hammer has been a little weird since the beginning...
Ahem, that... Can we stop talking? It's time to run......
Well, it's too late. ”
At this time, the steel-bone demon ape had already reopened its eyes, raised its hands a little puzzled, and stretched out its claws, as if the claws in front of him had just grown.
"It doesn't matter what kind of beast it is, I'll cut him down first!"
Hawke saw that the steel-bone demon ape had woken up, and said angrily, the two shields habitually exchanged blows with each other, and the giant shield in his left hand rushed forward as soon as he stood up.
"Bell!"
With a loud bang, Hawke only felt a huge force coming from the shield, and in a hurry, he was completely unable to parry, and was swept out in an instant.
Cecilia stood close and saw it clearly.
Hawke's shield broke free, spitting blood from his mouth, apparently seriously wounded.
She was so anxious that her head was covered with cold sweat, her little face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked:
"Hawke, are you alright?"
"No, it's okay," Cecilia was a little relieved when she heard the response, but who knew that Hawke's voice gradually deepened: "It's just a little, a little weak... up..."
"You rest for a while, we'll take care of it here. Ezek comforted Hawke, who was unconscious.
He said this, but he knew in his heart that among the three, only Hawke's giant shield could resist the attack of this fierce magic beast.
By this time, the two of them had clearly seen what had suddenly attacked Hawke, and it turned out to be a bumpy black metal plate.
"Steel elemental!?"
Cecilia was shocked, and couldn't help but clench the rattan stick and wink at Ezek:
Her magic is running out.
The steel-bone demon ape shook its head, and seemed to be a little more sober.
It slowly turned its head, revealing its hideous fangs, cutting off the big ones that were in the way, and it was not afraid to fight against two.
I saw that its long claws stretched out, like a big magnet, from the knives, forks and spatulas in the kitchen, to the steel slag and iron sheets in the blacksmith shop, the metal products that could be used within a radius of thirty meters were all sucked by it.
In a few moments, his whole body was covered in countless metal fragments.
Azek's scalp tingled when he saw this ragged weapon, and when he looked around, there was no place without metal to cover it, and there was no room for his shot.
Especially the bald monkey tail, the end is covered with several layers of sharp blade fragments, which is simply a low-profile version of the meteor hammer.
Just thinking about it, the steel-bone demon ape had already pounced on him with a hideous face, and between the staggered claws, a violent murderous aura pressed him to the point that he couldn't breathe, so he could only raise his sword to parry, dodge left and right, and look for an opportunity to shoot.
Now that Cecilia's magic power is about to run out, and the strongest shield Hawke has temporarily fallen, even if he tries his best, there is little chance of winning this battle.
Thinking of this, Azek glanced back at Charles slightly, and found that the only young master of the Griffin family had already left the gravel pit, and it was obvious that he had regained some mobility and was fleeing the battlefield.
Watching Charles walk farther and farther along the stone path, Ezek couldn't help but curse secretly:
"Are you stupid, walking down the alley..."
However, at this point, the steel-bone demon ape did not allow him to worry about anything more, and a hideous tail hammer had already been thrown at him.
"Khooth!"
Ezek held the sword in both hands, his whole body and muscles clicked because of his strength, he took two steps slightly sideways, and struggled to catch up, who knew that the power from the sword at this time was so great that it was completely impossible to resist, and the long sword instantly took off his hand and flew away.
Seeing that the tail hammer was about to hit Ezek's head, in desperation, he retreated and turned around, but he still couldn't dodge the tail hammer's attack, and his entire right chest was crushed by the blade thorn on the tail, and the leather armor of the chest guard was directly cracked, leaving several deep scars that could be seen in the bones, and blood sprayed all over the sky.
"Ahh
Ezek screamed, and the whole person who was hit by this blow flew out, and before he could hit the ground, he had already passed out in mid-air.
"Azek!"
Cecilia's tears were finally no longer in her hands, despair and grief that had caused her to lose the last shred of her sanity.
Ignoring the fact that her eyes were already drenched with tears and her vision was blurry, she raised her rattan stick and rushed forward, wanting to avenge the two of them.
The steel-bone demon ape grabbed her in his hand casually, and his sharp claws left blood marks on the girl's snow-white and tender skin through the thin leather armor.
"Let go of me!"
Cecilia writhed under the claws of the steel-boned demon ape, trying to struggle for the grasp of the claws, only to find that the more she struggled, the tighter the claws became, and her muscles and bones creaked as she pinched them.
"Big horse monkey!"
Just as Cecilia was once again in despair, Charles's annoying voice suddenly sounded from behind:
"You!come!come!ah!"
"Bluff?"
As soon as the Steelbone Demon Ape heard the familiar voice, he immediately turned around, only to see Charles leaning on his crystal clear sledgehammer, hooking his fingers in this direction.
Seeing this familiar scene, the Steelbone Demon Ape instantly became like a lit dynamite bag, and hatred and anger immediately filled every cell of it.
At this moment, nothing but killing Charles had the slightest attraction for it.
Throwing Cecilia aside, as if throwing away a rag doll with an open line, the steel-boned demon ape turned to Charles, who was waving to it, and slowly walked towards him, step by step.
Cecilia was tossed aside, and she lay on the cold stone pavement, looking at Charles with complicated eyes.
Charles deceived the steel-bone demon ape, but he couldn't fool her:
A trail of drag came from far and near, and you didn't have to think about it to know that he was so badly injured that he didn't even have the strength to pick up the hammer.
Tears finally welled up in her eyes, and Cecilia whimpered and stretched out her hand to Charles, muttering:
"Wood Armor... Go!"
Charles was engrossed in looking at the steel-bone demon ape that was getting closer and closer, when suddenly a burst of blue light flashed, and he only felt that his body was sinking, and he was already in armor!
Stunned, he glanced at Cecilia with some gratitude, and smiled in what he thought was handsome.
As everyone knows, in Cecilia's eyes, he is blurred by a layer of tears, and now he has long been blurred into humanoid pixels.
In fact, whether this wooden armor is good or bad, Charles himself has no bottom in his heart, he has finally recovered some strength now, about to estimate, there is still the power of a blow, and now there is more wooden armor that is actually quite heavy...
Don't be unable to jump for a while...
"Bluff, bluff..."
While thinking about it, the steel-bone demon ape had a hideous face, dragging a tail like a meteor hammer over, and a heavy sense of oppression came to his face, forcing Charles to lose breath for a while, and his already pale face was ugly.
The Steelbone Demon Ape's eyes were full of anger, and this anger was accelerating towards Charles with its sudden start.
I saw it digging the ground with both claws, leaning over, it was already carried away by anger, and instinctively chose the most primitive and direct way of attack, flying to probe its claws, and grabbed straight at Charles.
Twenty meters...
Ten meters...
Charles measured the distance between the Steelbone Demon Ape and himself in his mind, until he was only about five meters away from each other, he suddenly let go of his right hand holding the sledgehammer and rushed towards the Steelbone Demon Ape.
As he sprinted quickly, his right hand flickered, and he didn't know when there was a short sword more than thirty centimeters long in his hand.
This is the short sword of the recruit who has been with him since the beginning of the crossing, and there are seven or eight gaps on the short sword body.
Since he got the crystallized sledgehammer, this novice weapon has been reduced to a living tool for him to peel and mow the grass, and even Charles himself did not expect that it would return to the battlefield one day.
The Steel-Bone Demon Ape obviously didn't expect Charles to leave the crystallized sledgehammer in his hand, but instead stabbed himself with a short iron sword, and was caught off guard, he rushed to him.
It didn't pay any attention to it, though, because, unlike Ezek's sword and Hawke's twin shields, it was able to sense the dagger and...
Take control of it!
Charles didn't understand this truth, but at this moment, he could only bet that the steel bone demon ape would not be able to fully control this novice short sword in this short second.
And the facts always tell people not to pin their hopes on the mistakes of their opponents.
This time, it's no exception.
When Charles jumped up and stabbed the Steelbone Demon Ape in the eye with his short sword, it easily controlled the short sword with the fastest speed, and the tip of the sword hovered in front of the Steelbone Demon Ape's eyes, and it was difficult to advance an inch.
And Charles had exhausted all his strength at this time, and was clenched in the palm of his hand by the steel bone demon ape's claws, leaving only an unwilling right hand still holding the recruit's short sword.
"Master Griffin!"
At this time, Hawke had already regained consciousness, and before he could get up, he saw the scene of Charles rushing towards the steel bone demon ape, and couldn't help but exclaim.
This voice woke up Azek not far away, and Azek looked at Cecilia who was paralyzed on the ground, and at Charles, who was holding a short sword in a desperate situation, and was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.
"Bastard, can't you just go any longer, again... Grow longer..."As the claws of the steel-bone demon ape gradually tightened, Charles's tough body also made a sound of intertwined muscles and bones.
His eyes were cracked, his limbs were already weak, and the sharp pain filled his body, and he gritted his teeth and exclaimed:
"Give me a little longer!!"
"Khooth!"
Charles's scream of pain was answered.
Suddenly, only a muffled sound was heard, and the recruit's short sword seemed to understand human speech, and it quickly became longer and longer, and instantly pierced into the eye socket of the steel-bone demon ape, and the tip of the sword pierced its skull, and it grew more than ten meters all the way to the skull before stopping.
Charles's hands and feet were weak at this time, and his wrists could not hold such great force, and the hilt of the sword came out of his hand and pressed against his chest, nailing him into the rubble on the ground, and for a while the dust flew up.
The inferior recruit short sword did not change its texture because it became longer, and after pushing the steel bone demon ape out of more than ten meters, it was simply broken into a few knots and spilled on the ground.
Cecilia, with teary eyes, rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Looking at it again, I saw a broken blade full of gaps in the eye socket of the steel-bone demon ape, and the dirty monkey's face still maintained a strange expression of revenge, which was really chilling.
Hawke and Ezek were also dumbfounded for a while, the two of them were just lying on the stone road, you look at me, I look at you, and they were speechless for a while.
And at this moment, they breathed a sigh of relief, and felt an increasingly strong vibration from the ground.
They suddenly found that under the terrifying death threat of the Steelbone Demon Ape, they seemed to have forgotten a very important thing:
Rockhorn rhinoceros herd!
