Chapter 0366: The Enemy Is Coming
I have to say, today is very likely to be Alice's lucky day.
If the first target of the four Shadowsteel Golems was her, I'm afraid she would have been a dead body full of holes by now.
No, under such a strong shock wave of negative energy, it is very likely that her soul and body will be transformed into some kind of undead creature in the shortest possible time. And this, for her, is undoubtedly more terrible than death!
It's okay...... The first target they chose was Sophia!
Maybe she's standing too far forward, or maybe she's striking by her muscular size...... In short, when the 4 Shadow Steel Golems slipped out of the shadows, the 8 sharp and sharp claws immediately stabbed at Sophia, who was talking with her waist crossed.
Sophia's reaction speed is fast.
Even without the reminders of several witches, she sensed the abnormality on her side for the first time.
The Shadow Steel Golem was able to travel around elusively, thanks to its body that could freely travel through the shadow plane. As long as there are shadows, their heavy bodies seem to have lost all weight, and they are able to swim freely in the shadow matter like a swift little fish.
There was no sound, no stagnation, no violent fluctuations in energy, the only thing that was left was that the shadow matter around the target was slightly more intense than before. And the little shadow matter added is almost impossible to detect unless you close your eyes and look closely.
However, Sophia is an awakened person with a power of fate as high as 13 points after all, and her spiritual perception does not rely on the tentacles of spiritual power, but on the danger prediction that comes with the power of fate.
So when the danger came, Sophia went berserk almost instantaneously.
To be honest, Sophia's body was originally five big and three thick, and in appearance, she looked like a warrior more than a wizard. At this moment, once the body swelled, the muscles were knotted, and she looked like a Valkyrie who stood up to the sky.
The thick wooden staff in her hand seemed to be some kind of soul weapon, and it grew and thickened with her body, and it danced like the wind, smashing two Shadow Steel Golems that were too close to each other in an instant.
But at the same time, her body was also injured one after another, and her left shoulder, left rib, right hip, and right leg burst out with bloody arrows at the same time.
However, after the rage, Sophia ignored her own injuries, and the thick wooden staff in her hand landed on a delusional Shadowsteel Golem with the speed of a storm. Before she could even melt into the shadow at her side again, Sophia smashed its head and smashed its shell in a furious and ferocious manner.
After all, the Shadowsteel Golem is an 'assassin' type special golem, not known for its sturdy body, but rather for its ghostly spirit. So when it encountered Sophia, a berserk Valkyrie-like 'madman', it only took one turn to be smashed into a pile of scrap metal.
However, it was only at this moment that the two protective sorcery of Xuefu's 'Ice Shield' and Amanda's 'Energy Protection' had belatedly fallen on Sophia. But it's a pity that after Sophia transformed into a berserk witch, she already has a preliminary anti-demon physique.
The advantage of having an anti-demon constitution is that it resists the negative energy impact and shadow damage that comes with Shadowsteel Golem's melee attacks, but the disadvantage is that it also blocks the healing and buff blessings that her teammates can give her.
Therefore, Sophia has always been a loner since she was promoted to the rank of Berserk Witch, and rarely teams up with people. One of the main reasons is that she can't enjoy the 'benefits' brought by other teammates at all!
However, although Sophia lost the right to enjoy the blessings of the buff due to her violent demon-resistant physique, she also unexpectedly gained super physical recovery.
Almost as soon as the three Shadow Steel Golems disappeared, the shocking huge wounds on Sophia's body were squirming and closing at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this rate, a few wounds that were considered serious injuries on an ordinary witch would most likely heal completely within three to five minutes.
"Damn the coward, you just dare to hide in the shadows...... If you dare to come out again, the old lady will smash you to pieces one by one......" Sophia stepped on the shattered and twisted black body of a Shadow Steel Golem, and scolded at the surrounding void, and her fierce and wild momentum was undoubtedly displayed.
In the face of this kind of shadow assassin who came and went without a trace, there were several people in the field, and she was the only one who had such confidence and shouting. And the rest of the witches immediately began to bless themselves with all kinds of protective witchcraft.
"The power of the herd!" (Strength +2)
"Agility of the Pack Cats!" (Dexterity +2)
"The Tenacity of the Bear!" (CON +2)
"The cunning of the fox of the pack!" (Intelligence +2)
"Protect against negative energy!"
"Protective Shadow!"
"Enemy Prophet!"
"Acceleration Technique!"
……
Originally, with their relationship, there was no way for others to enjoy their witchcraft blessings. But today, when a common enemy looms in front of them, and the other party has shown a terrible ambition to kill them all.
As a result, a group of people who were in full swing a moment ago have now immediately become comrades-in-arms in one camp. In order to give full play to everyone's greatest combat power, no one dared to hide their secrets anymore, and they all took out the witchcraft scroll at the bottom of their own box.
With the support of this series of sorcery blessing auras, almost everyone's body basic data began to skyrocket, and everyone's body was wrapped in layers of energy protection force fields and defensive witchcraft. This time, even if a few of them didn't have the terrifying physical fitness of Sophia, it was not something that the remaining 3 Shadow Steel Golems could easily get rid of.
Alice, on the other hand, was even more exaggerated, releasing a huge chariot-like spider puppet beast, and then silently burrowed into its abdomen and disappeared without a trace.
Berserk Sophia snorted and continued to lead the way, carrying a thick wooden staff.
Snow Dancer, the Frost Dancer, was wrapped in a barrier of ice crystals of varying thicknesses, following closely behind.
Amanda also threw out two flasks of potions, summoning two humanoid storm elementals, and walked in the center of the line with Doris. Alice, on the other hand, controls the Spider Golem and presses the Flame Tyrant at the end of the team.
Such a team selection also fully takes into account the professional characteristics of the three Xuefu girls. After all, the route chosen by the three of them is mostly support or elemental, and once they encounter a sneak attack by the Shadow Steel Golem, the probability of surviving is far less than that of Sophia and Alice.
But just as the team was slowly approaching the mysterious place, a hoarse and unpleasant metallic clang was heard in the darkness in the distance.
In the hazy shadows, more than twenty rickety armor guards and nearly a hundred transformed witch beasts formed a black and oppressive battle formation, slowly pressing towards them.
Don't blame them for being slow, it wasn't until the Tower Guardians stepped into the range of the Flame Tyrant's scorching flames that everyone could see them for what they really were.
It's miserable!
The twenty-seven armor guards are a group of activated metal armor, and through the cracks in the rusty armor, you can see the lingering black gas inside the armor. Due to the erosion of nearly a thousand years, these armor guards have rusted to the point of not being able to look. As they dragged their stiff and rotten metal bodies forward, pieces of rotted metal parts fell from time to time.
The metal knee pads and iron leg guards on the lower part of many armor guards have corroded so much that they can't support the weight of the armor, and they scatter with a sound while walking, and finally only the upper half of the body is still crawling on the floor with difficulty.
I am afraid that such a tower guard does not need a strong warrior, even the delicate Amanda can break one or two with the power of a cane!
The same is true for the remaining Modified Witchcraft.
Those life-based witch beasts have long since died, and the rest are almost all undead witch beasts.
Dabo corpse, banshee, wraith, mummy......
These witch beasts are bound to the tower by contract, but they have not received any soul and flesh nourishment for thousands of years, and they are all so hungry and thirsty. At this moment, when he sensed the breath of life, he immediately became restless. Ignoring the mysterious maiden's orders, they abandoned their formation and rushed up, screaming madly and lunging at the witch squad.
In their ranks, 5 Mummy Elders and 3 Revenant Banshees were also Tier 3 undead. However, the long-term soul decay has kept their strength at the level of a second-order primary, and they can barely be regarded as a weakened second-order creature.
Therefore, their sudden attack obviously increased the pressure on the witch team.
Alice controlled the spider puppet beast, swiping four pairs of sharp arthrops, and leaped over the heads of the three Shiphs, and came to the front of the line to stand side by side with Sophia.
In the face of menacing enemies, whether you can resist their mad dog attacks is the most important thing!
Abandoning the slow-moving armor guards and 'teammates' such as the mummy and the Dapo corpse, the first wave of undead witch beasts to flood up were spirit-like witchcraft.
The three revenant banshees hit their heads, opening their mouths to let out a terrifying howl that almost deaf to their ears, and as they flew into the sky and rushed straight into the middle of the witch squad.
The shrill screams of the Revenant Banshee possess the terrifying power to tear at the souls of living beings. For individuals who lack soul protection, no matter how thick the physical defense and energy protection are, it is useless to encounter them. Therefore, this kind of sharp and miserable cry belongs to psionic sorcery, and can ignore any defenses, except for psionic ones!
Therefore, the killing method of the Revenant Banshee is not to attack directly, but to fly to your side and let out a terrible howl that is unbearable! In the face of this unimaginably sharp howl, all the souls are like a crystal and fragile glass, and they are broken!
If your soul is tough enough, you may be able to resist the invasion of broken souls, but as the soul body is pulled by the terrible scream, the soul body is restless and vibrating, and you lose all resistance for a short time, and you can only watch them turn into a phantom and invade your body.
Yes, another terrifying natural instinct of the Revenant Banshee is 'Possession'!
It can control your body in a short period of time, so as to achieve the effect of 'rebellion'.
At least for as long as the banshee takes over you, you'll be a traitor to the ranks.
