Volume 1: The Storm of the Sea Chapter 51 Overdraft
The tentacles on the fused corpse's back began to shrink back, ready to attack Viscount Eric, the only one standing, once more.
"Whoosh"
Several tentacles with the sound of breaking through the sky attacked Viscount Eric like arrows.
Eric dodged sideways and slashed a backhand at the tip of a tentacle to chop the whole thing. But this fused corpse monster has no pain at all, and severing a tentacle is nothing to it.
"Puff"
With such a dense concentration of six tentacles, Eric couldn't dodge them all. One tentacle slashed across his thigh, leaving a large bruise, while the other was like a blade, grazing his right shoulder and taking away a large patch of flesh.
The sharp pain came, and the right hand that was originally holding the knife was also released, and a kind of fatigue came, which was no longer beyond his mental control.
"Run!"
Eric shouted the word, a roll, barely dodging the spurs of a few tentacles, holding a knife in his left hand, and severing a tentacle again.
Eric didn't have much time to delay, but it was enough for Knox to stand up and pick up Zelin who had fallen unconscious, and enough to get rid of Alex and ease up.
Hearing this order, everyone hesitated. Seeing Eric's firmness, Aretz and Bourcho decided to retreat.
Knox still wanted to continue fighting, but Zelin was still supported by him. His own life can be sacrificed, but he can't make decisions for someone else, even that person might agree.
Thinking of this, Knox also turned his head and followed Alex Bourcho in the direction of return.
"Good!"
Seeing the hesitation of the crowd, especially Knox's stop, Viscount Eric felt very satisfied and worried, but fortunately, they all left in the end.
A smile appeared on the corner of Eric's mouth, and he said as if self-deprecating: "No matter how useless it is, you have to leave them a way to live!"
The strength of the knife in his left hand was much less, and the biggest impact was that his extraordinary power did not expand to his left hand. Without the blessing of extraordinary power, it is difficult to even break through the epidermal defenses of the fused corpse monster with his own strength.
Although he has tried to build a power node on his left hand, this node is not as easy to build as the first time. The more nodes there are, the more viscous and pure your energy becomes, and it is much more difficult to split another node.
"So far, I can only fight to the death. ”
Able to dodge the collision of the fused corpse monster, his left hand barely blocked the attack of a tentacle, but his body was scraped by the tentacles, and a piece of flesh was taken away from his waist.
Eric didn't dare to delay any longer, gathered the power of the wind in his heart, and rushed to his left hand.
It was a pain that ascended into the soul, enough to destroy a person's spirit, and even Eric, who was bent on death, couldn't help but slow down the energy transmission in his hand.
But he couldn't do it, he couldn't stop, and if he stopped at this moment, not only him, but everyone else would die.
At the very least, he was going to buy them a little time, a little time to escape, and take the ark that was still in the cave and get out of here once and for all.
"Qiang"
The output of the wind force became stronger and stronger, and the energy converged, and the blade began to tremble slightly, making a sound of metal colliding.
Eric dodged the fused corpse's charge again, but this time, instead of dodging into the distance, he used this force to slash at the fused ghoul's body.
"Poof"
There was no hindrance, and it was easy to pass through the skin of the fused corpse, and with the speed of the fused corpse and the sharpness of the power of the wind, a deep and long wound was cut from head to toe.
There seemed to be a gray-white mist on the dark red wound, but every time it stayed, the wound sprouted flesh buds, and immediately there was a cyan shimmer of light, dispersing the clumps of mist, so that the granulations did not grow.
"It works?"
It's just that in an instant, Eric has been a long distance away from the fused corpse monster, and he didn't see the specific state of the wound, but the fact that the wound didn't heal immediately was evidence that could be seen at a glance.
However, this monster did not care about its injuries at all, whether it had wounds or not, whether it could heal or not, it was always whipped and rammed.
Another dash and dodge, adding a few more wounds to the fused corpse's body. Similarly, Eric has a lot of bruises and wounds on his body, but it's not too bad compared to the injuries of the fused corpses.
But Eric wasn't happy for long, and the wounds of the fused corpse monsters began to heal again, and the gray mist was broken up and reassembled again, but it was not missing. The cyan light shattered the gray mist again and again, gradually dimming to the point of nearing vanishing.
Losing its suppression, the gray mist began to promote the flesh buds again, and the flesh soon spread to the wounds, intertwined, and the wounds began to heal like this.
By the time Eric found out, the wound that had been torn at the beginning had almost healed, leaving only a scar that was neither deep nor shallow.
The discovery was like a bucket of ice water poured over Eric's head, leaving him cold from head to tail.
"How can this be? This kind of thing, how to defeat it!"
Although he had gritted his teeth with hatred for this fused corpse monster, he was still sane, and he would not follow suit if he rushed directly to fight the monster.
"If there's something holding back the recovery of his wounds, what is it?"
Eric tried his best to dodge the onslaught of the fused corpses as he pondered the answer to the question. After all, he was dual-minded, and if he was careless, he was whipped by a fused corpse monster.
The right hand barely blocked the whip that rushed to the forehead, protecting the head and saving his life. But a huge impact hit, and his whole body flew out, and the bones in his right hand were probably broken.
The force of this time was a bit heavy, and the shock of hitting the ground coupled with the inconvenience of his right hand made Eric stand up to avoid the attacking tentacles, even if he rolled on the spot, he couldn't do it.
Seeing the tentacles attack, straight to the throat, wanting to kill with one blow, Eric closed his eyes.
"Bang!"
There was an explosion, but instead of piercing Eric's throat, a sticky liquid and sticky solid mass smashed into his face.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the tentacles hovering in mid-air, only half of which remained. And the incision, only charred black remained.
"Lord Viscount, as the captain of the guard, I can't leave you behind!"
A rough male voice came from a distance, it was Knox's voice, and now it sounded like a tragic one who was generous to death.
"Knox, you... You... Why did you come back, didn't you tell you to retreat quickly?"
For Knox's rescue, Eric didn't mean to be grateful at all, but if it was just to save people, Knox put his life on the line, Eric only felt a little worthless.
"I obey your orders, and I have taken Zelin to a safer place and handed it over to Bourcho. Now is a very long time, naturally there must be extraordinary changes, even if I don't be the captain of your personal guard, my life can't watch you die and I live!"
Knox retorted, but the work in his hand did not stop, and a flame struck the root of one of the tentacles, blowing it to pieces.
Although this injury was nothing for the fused corpse, this wave of attacks also managed to make the brainless guy turn his target and start charging towards Knox.
"Knox, you ......"
Eric still wanted to continue to persuade, but Knox had already attracted the attention of the fused corpse, and he was speechless for a while.
"Forget it, okay then, let's try together, can we get rid of this monster!"
He gritted his teeth, said another thing he didn't want to say, fought together, and died together.
After a long time of delay, Eric was finally able to stand up, but his right hand was fractured, which affected his movements. However, this is not a big deal, and he picked up the knife in his left hand and rushed towards the fused corpse monster again.
Knox was still physically strong, and in the face of a tentacle that ejected like a spike, the flames condensed, and the sword flashed, splitting the tentacle in half from the middle at once.
Dodging the other tentacle sideways, the blade swung, and a half-moon flame hit the root of the tentacle directly, and an explosion exploded, blowing up a cloud of flesh and blood, and blowing off an entire tentacle.
"It's useless to fight. ”
Seeing that the removal of a tentacle had not yet reacted to the fusion of corpses, Knox muttered.
After a while, the wound on the tentacle began to heal, and although it did not continue to grow in its place, tentacles germinated on its back.
"Why didn't its wound heal so quickly before?"
Remembering how he had injured himself and prevented the fused corpse from healing for a while, Eric was full of questions.
"What's missing?"
But before he could think about it, the tentacles of the fused corpse monster beckoned over again, and hurriedly flashed to the side.
His left hand once again condensed the light, trying to fight back against the fused corpse, but the pain became more and more intense, as if to remind him that his left hand was almost unable to withstand the force of the wind.
His left hand emitted a strange light, not bright, but it gave his left hand a sense of transparency. The light and the fine textures are like reflections of muscles and bones.
It was as if the whole arm was no longer a part of the living creature, but instead changed like a gem crystal, towards some dead thing.
This change is not a good change, but the current Eric has no energy to care about him, even if this arm is scrapped, as long as he can defeat or even escape this monster, it is worth it.
The integrity of the limbs is far greater than the needs of life.
"Damn! This arm was infused with the force of the wind, but now it is starting to fade. ”
Eric felt that the strength in his left hand was subsiding, the pain was lessening, and the numbness was increasing.
After such a long battle, the left hand was already overwhelmed, and now that the last straw had been put down, it was time for a camel to be crushed.
"If I could open one more node, how could it ......?"
Eric tried to clench his fists, but the numbness of his left hand and the unconsciousness of his right hand did not support him.
"Wait!"
Speaking of nodes, Eric seemed to think of something.
"Could it be that we need more nodes, more pure power?"
