Chapter 30: The Attacking Bugs
Heaven has blessed Mormike with a huge size and disgusting faces, but not with sharp eyesight, let alone intelligence.
Nisol brushed aside the leaves of the grass and glanced at the two Mormike gathered on the opposite side, then pointed the arrow at the face of one of them, aiming for a moment.
Grisenda sat in the back, gritting her teeth and sweating from her forehead. She forced herself to keep her eyes on the ugly monster until she had fully seen every feature of it.
"Whoosh!"
The head of one of them exploded in an instant under the power of a huge arrowhead. The other Momic, splattered with the red blood of his companions, turned his head sensitively and stared directly at the grass of Nisso, but did not move.
"Quick, Grisenda, I've got rid of one, and you'll have to kill the rest yourself. ”
"Good. Surprisingly, Glicenta agreed without hesitation at this moment. She gasped for breath, then jerked her longsword out of its scabbard. Hearing the sound of his sword being drawn, the Mormack immediately looked at it with an ugly face.
"Look directly at fear...... It's a demon I made......" Grisenda muttered to herself, then roared and raised her sword and charged at the terrifying giant ant.
Mormack has no IQ, only a simple hunting instinct. Seeing that the prey was so obediently sent to death, it rushed forward with great agility.
"Chop off the head...... Slash the head......" Grisenda looked at the other party's bloody mouth, and the fear that had just been suppressed rose again.
"Thunderstorm, punishment!" she cried out, almost in horror. The runes on the blue longsword suddenly appeared, and then flashed with a blinding blue-white electric light. There was a crackling sound, and before the blade could touch Mormichael's body, the Mormike was almost half-cooked by the electricity.
"Zila!"
The giant ant is cut in half by Grisenda. There were electric sparks in the air, and Niso could almost feel a tingling on his face. Grisenda stood next to the corpse of the giant ant gasping for breath, and the sword suddenly fell to the ground, and she also fell to her knees.
"I ......"
"Well done!" Nisol reached out to flick the electricity floating in the air, and then rushed forward, just as he was about to pat her shoulder with his hand, the lightning flashed in his palm and her body. Nisol snapped his hand back, but his smile remained. "You did it!"
"I ......"
Grisenda was surprised and delighted at this time. It was much less difficult to take down the monster than she had imagined.
She propped up her limp legs, then raised her sword in the posture of a victor, and said happily, "Still too weak! ”
Nisol couldn't help but laugh as he looked at her. Glicenta laughed too, but the corpse on the ground still made her a little frightened.
"Let's go, since I can fight, then these Mormac don't pose any threat to us, why don't we break into their lair, and then kill them all, not a single one!" Grisenda stroked the hilt of his sword with her right hand, and walked in a random direction.
Niso just kept appreciating and agreeing, and only after the two of them had traveled a distance and Grisenda had spoken a lot of words did he slowly speak: "Grisenda, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. What happened to those currents? Are you a magician?"
Grisenda shook her head.
"You said the thunder and lightning...... That's not magic, it's just a bonus to my weapon. Grisenda felt as if she had overcome the fear that had plagued her for so long, and she was thrilled. "How's that, isn't that crackling electricity particularly handsome?"
"Hmm. Nisol nodded. "Then why are you all right?"
"Me?" Grisenda touched her orange-red hair with her hand and plucked the small white flowers off her head. "Oops, this flower has been scorched. "Indeed, the little white unknown wildflower has turned into a charred paste, and it no longer has any beauty on the head. She crouched down and patiently and meticulously buried the little white flower in the grass. "Rest in peace......"
Nisol looked at her with a smile.
"You just asked me why I'm okay, and I don't really know that. Nisol, have you ever heard of a knight who is trained not primarily by training, but by the blessing of magical runes?"
Nisol thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"There are some magic runes that have the power to enhance the quality of weapons, I think you should know. She gestured to Nisso's carved longbow. "Your bow and arrow should have been carved by a magician, so it has more power and durability than a normal bow and arrow. As an inappropriate example, you can also think of a knight as a weapon, and blessing the runes on the knight is equivalent to blessing the runes on the weapon, the weapon can exert better power, and the knight can have more strength. ”
"So a magician has placed a spell on you, so you can exert more strength?"
"That's pretty much what it means, I don't know exactly, but I've heard that not everyone has the right constitution to be spelled. It is said that this kind of talent is one in a million, and as for me, I guess I happened to become such a person. Grisenda looked up at the sky. "But God gives me better strength, and I will use it to protect more people, isn't that what you said?"
"I didn't say that strength must be used to protect others, I just said that fear is a protective shield made by myself for my cowardice......"
No matter what others do with their strength, I have to protect others anyway. I've made so many mistakes, I've given up so many people I love, and I've finally bought a day without fear, how can I waste it on anything else?" Grisenda laughed. "Let's get down to business. Generally speaking, if an ordinary person is spelled, either their physique is greatly destroyed, or the increase is very small. I've heard that all of Turan's mysterious knights are of this kind, and they're covered with all sorts of strange magical runes, but they're much less capable than me and the other two storm knights. ”
"Isn't there anyone like you in the Mystic Knight?"
"I don't know, it's very little anyway. Grisenda stopped suddenly, then crouched down and picked a small blue wildflower in the grass beside her. This flower is a little bigger than the small white flower just now, and it looks more attractive. She slipped it into her hair. "How?"
"It's beautiful. ”
"Hee-hee......" Grisenda straightened the little blue flower on her head. "This sword of mine is also engraved with magic runes, and it is not ordinary magic runes - this kind of rune is very powerful, and it is very difficult to carve, I don't know how those magicians do it, anyway, it belongs to me. Because of this sword, my attacks release thunder and lightning every time, and it is precisely because of my own lightning attribute that I have to desperately strengthen my immunity to thunder. It is no exaggeration to say that if a thunderclap were to fall in the sky right now, I would not have been harmed in the slightest. ”
"You're too powerful...... aren't you?" said Nisol. "How do you make those knights who train hard every day embarrassed?"
"They ......," Glicenta was silent for a moment. "If they had suffered what I had suffered, I am afraid they would not have felt that it was difficult to exercise hard. She looked up into the distance. "I also have a little talent for learning combat skills, but only a little bit......" She held out her right hand, index finger up, thumb down, and made a slight gesture.
Not far away, there was a sudden sound of wriggling, as if a living organism was constantly expanding and moving. The sound was uncomfortable and disgusting. Grisenda furrowed her brows and drew her sword to defend herself, and Nissel made a gesture to listen quietly and observe the situation.
"There's something out there......" Nissau said.
"Is that the bed bugs?" said Grisenda took a few steps forward. "Let's go check it out, I can't wait to kill a few more. ”
"Let's see how many of them there are. ”
"Hmph, I can easily solve hundreds of them. The soldiers of the Messiah Legion are not much stronger than these giant ants? It's a pity that ...... in front of me."
As Nisol listened to Gricenta's rhetoric, he suddenly felt a feeling of regret for having persuaded her to overcome her fears.
The sound of creatures' footsteps stomping on the ground became clearer. Glicenta pointed the tip of her sword at that spot with agility, ready for the next attack.
"Gollum ......"
A Momac walked out.
"Huh?" Niso immediately noticed that something was wrong. Grisenda also noticed the difference between the giant ant in front of her and the other Momike - it was covered in sticky mucus, was small, and its skin looked fragile. The giant ant staggered over to Grisenda, then opened its teeth and claws to attack, and was split in half by Grisenda's sword.
"Why was that one so small?" asked Glicenta, pushing through the grass.
"Because it was a young Momicha. ”
"Why? How do you know, in case it's a new species......" Grisenda looked back to see what Niso was doing, but was stunned by the scene next to Nisso.
What Nisol was looking at was several large ovoid objects, buried in the earth, with black markings and shaggy skins. One of them moved outward, staggering, as if something was crawling out of it.
"Vomit ......" Grisenda saw this disgusting scene, felt a tumbling in her stomach, and couldn't help but hold her knees and retch.
"Are these the larvae of bed bugs?" Nyso looked into the distance again.
"This thing is disgusting......"
"Smack!" the three little Momichaels crawled out of the eggs that were about to move, and with a viscous liquid, they staggered towards the two of them. Needlessly, Nisol pulled out his arrows and dealt with the little Pommomec one by one, then fell into deep thought.
"Not far away is the Crimson Mountains, and you can't go any further. The Crimson Mountains are also home to some mountain giants who have migrated from Mount Till, and these mountain giants are terrifying and not easy to mess with. Mormike wouldn't be stupid enough to mess with the bears and mountain giants in the Crimson Hills, which means they must have a huge nest in the nearby mountains. Perhaps we can find this nest and break the siege threat of the current colony. ”
"Maybe, but I really don't want to see this disgusting stuff anymore. Grisenda motioned for Nisol to step back, then stepped forward with her sword in hand.
"Thunderstorm, ruling!"
Nisol reached out to block the glare of lightning. He felt a great threat from Grisenda's attack, so he was a little glad that the terrifying girl in front of him was not his enemy.
After half an hour, the pile of eggs had cracked and blackened, and a disgusting liquid was oozing.
"This trick is specially prepared for group attacks, and it sounds a bit silly in the name. Grisenda crossed her hands on her hips. "Let's go, let's go back to the colony, it's been a day and a night late, I'm afraid Sheler's death is already worried. ”
"But once she knows what we've learned, she'll die of joy again. Nisol put his head in his hands and walked in a different direction. "She was a cheerful person, no matter who she spoke to, and her voice was gentle and pleasant, as if sad things had nothing to do with her......"
