Chapter 35: Ashes

The monster in the shadows has a certain intelligence and will always attack them by surprise.

At this time, Lenia's moves were old and new power was not born, and there was not much strength to parry the attacking tentacles.

Duke didn't panic when he saw this, first dissipating the brewing magic, and then pointing his right index finger at Lenia.

The silver-white ring he wore on his hand shone brightly.

In the distance, Lenia had an extra layer of milky white light on her body, revealing a hint of holiness and warmth in this filthy environment.

This is exactly the new function of the Guardian Ring that Duke has recently figured out, in addition to shielding himself, it can also be used on others.

The tentacles that were rapidly approaching in the darkness ignored the changes in Lenia's body, and still slapped from all directions.

But the stormy attack only made a few dull sounds, and Lenia, who was in the shield, did not suffer any damage.

There's even time to prepare for the next round of attacks.

The monster in the shadows realizes that something is wrong and is about to leave.

However, Lenia had already seen it, and the moment it wanted to leave, it unleashed a powerful storm of blades to crumble the tentacles around it into shreds.

All around them seemed to rain with dirty mud.

The filthy rain drifted in all directions, eventually gathered and regrouped, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"They've slowed down, but we can't repeat the layout again. ”

Lenia observed for a moment and said with some regret.

Duke just smiled, not feeling pity.

Even if it can still be repeated, his shield only has three chances to use, and at the current progress, three times is not enough to completely destroy this monster.

In fact, he wanted to use this phenomenon to prove an idea, and now he understood that this monster did not have infinite regenerative ability and vitality.

So he already had a way in his mind to kill it completely.

"It won't be able to attack for a while, so we're going to split up and destroy the pits. ”

Lenia hesitated when she heard Duke's arrangement, but Duke had already taken the lead in one direction.

She could only sigh helplessly, and chose a direction close to Duke, keeping Duke within the range she could take care of.

Duke felt a little warm and touched when he saw Lenia's little tricks, but his next plan could only be realized if he was alone.

So he waited for Lenia to concentrate on her move, and quietly accelerated into the darker depths.

It wasn't until Duke couldn't see Lenya in his field of vision that he pretended to destroy several dirt pits as if he hadn't been on guard.

He could feel the prying eyes on him in the dark, because his strength was weak enough, and he had no defenses or dependence, which was a big temptation for the monsters hidden in the darkness.

Finally, the monster couldn't hold back the seduction, and countless tentacles shot towards Duke from all directions.

This time, it used all its strength as soon as it struck, ensuring that it would destroy Duke with a single blow.

Hooked!

Duke was overjoyed, and instantly activated the Ring of Guardianship, allowing the milky white divine shield to envelop him.

But this time, the other party seemed to be prepared, and a crack appeared in the shield not long after it came into contact with the tentacles, and it looked like it was about to be shattered by the tentacles.

However, Duke's heart was calm, and he did not use the last shield at the moment when the shield shattered, but reached out like a warrior and grabbed the nearest tentacle to him.

The cold touch at the entrance and the nausea as if he were grasping a ripe fruit instantly activated goosebumps all over his body.

But he couldn't care much more, and secretly used his magic power to release the witchcraft erosion that he had been suppressing.

"Transfer!"

He spat out a mysterious word against the infestation of his tentacles and the negative effects of unleashing sorcery, transferring the strange erosion that had been trying to devour his life force to the monster he chose.

A cold power rose from his belly and flowed down his arm to the monster in front of him.

Duke only felt a lightness all over his body, and the strange erosion that had plagued him for a long time was smoothly transferred.

Suddenly there was a terrifying roar from the depths of the darkness, followed by the sound of crashing and falling stones.

But it only lasted less than a minute before the calm returned completely.

Duke felt that the tentacles that were still clutching in his hands had no strength, and more like a mess of mud wrapped around his palms.

Soon it became soft and finally turned into a mass of ash like mud.

"Your Excellency!"

Lenia, who had come to her senses, rushed to Duke's side at this time, looking at the ashes in the ground in a daze.

"I'm fine, let's go inside. ”

Duke waved his hand, took the magic lantern from Lenia's hand, and walked towards the place where the loud noise had just been made.

When they got there, they were still slightly shocked by the sight in front of them.

I saw a circle engraved with countless unknown blood-colored symbols, a lump of mud like a small mountain was quietly piled there, and countless stones were scattered around it.

When they got closer, they realized that the mud pile was made of ashes, which was originally the body of the monster.

Looking at the hill-high ash pile in front of him, Duke was a little scared in his heart, one was that he didn't expect the monster to be so large, and the other was that the negative erosion of that witchcraft was so powerful, and he had actually coexisted peacefully with this erosion for so long!

But now it's always solved at once.

"This is where Baron Rhein and the cultists conduct evil rituals and experiments. ”

Lynia walked around the hill and found a book on the other side that exuded a thick smell of blood, and said as she flipped through it, "They first started with animal sacrifices, and eventually began to feed this monster with living people, hoping to create a killing machine that destroys the world. ”

Duke was speechless for a moment, unable to imagine that Baron Rheinland had lost so many lives because of this.

"Recent records show that our missing slaves were also kidnapped and sacrificed. ”

"That's enough, in addition to the necessary evidence, let's destroy this place and let those evil spirits be at peace. ”

After Duke finished speaking, he turned away in a bit of silence, and his mood was very low, and the impact of these scenes was still too great for him.

Lenia listened to the distant explosion that came soon after, and knew that the lord needed to vent her frustration.

She sighed slightly, carried the notebook in her arms, and participated in the destruction with her sword.
