Chapter 0401: Fighting the Mception
The elite manticore couldn't help but raise his neck and hiss.
Furious elemental flames raged around it, making a sizzling sound of burning its flesh, and the hair on its body disappeared in an instant, and the exposed skin was covered with large and small bubbles, and each explosion burst out with viscous blood.
The elite manticore, who had only completed one attack, spread its wings in a panic and exited the cave entrance area, running into the depths of the smoke that no one could see, but the painful wail still came from afar.
It hurts!
It really hurts!
Although it didn't kill it just now, it also made it hurt to the bone marrow, and it didn't want to recover its combat effectiveness in a short time.
Taking advantage of the brief interval between battles, the Growler frantically drew earth elementals from his feet and compressed them into solid stone to repair his broken body. Grim also shot several lava fireballs in quick succession, blasting the area around the cave entrance into a sea of fire, buying the growler as much time as possible to repair.
But the next wave of enemy attacks came quickly.
This time, it was no longer a self-injurious flying impact, but two adult manticores flapping their wings, swinging through the flames, clinging to the smooth stone wall and desperately attacking the growler.
Due to the limited location of the hole, they can't open and close as quickly as they normally would, but with their sharp claws and terrifying fanged mouths, they still pose a great threat.
As for the attacks that Grim and the Rotten Ones desperately created in the rear, they could only withstand it with their protective force field and strong physique when they had no way to dodge.
In their furious and ferocious attacks, the rock armor outside the growler's body was almost repaired before it was scarred by another bite and scratch. The Growler's body of rock, which was made up of numerous stones, was also miserable on the entire front, with horrific cracks and penetrating claw marks everywhere.
The grade of the elemental crystal nucleus that created the Growler was still a little low, and it was still a little powerless in the face of this group of manticores and manticores that were equally strong in nature and strength.
This is also due to the fact that the Growler has a good group control skill, and can unleash a 'Great Tremor' every once in a while, interrupting the rhythm of the Manticore's attack and giving himself time to recover. And the rock armor it released can significantly enhance its defenses, which is why it has been able to deal with this group of manticores for so long.
If you change to a rotten person, it is estimated that you will not be able to hold out for three or five minutes, and you will be beaten up by the other party!
But even so, when the two manticores stepped back scarred and replaced with two new manticores, the growler could no longer resist.
Its newly condensed rock blocks were shattered, the summoned rock armor was scratched, and even its rock body was riddled with holes, and it was about to lose its heart.
If you allow the Growler to be blown up by the Manticore, it will be very difficult to continue to block the enemy!
As a last resort, Grim could only temporarily let the Growler retreat to repair it with all his might, while he strode forward to block the path of the two manticores, and his body swelled rapidly.
Without hesitation, Grim cast the Flame Demon transformation, but did not unseal the Flame Demon Heart.
The appearance of the powerful fire demon undoubtedly tortured the two manticores crowded at the entrance of the cave. Although Grim did not have the strength and strength of the Growler, he could not resist his many defenses against witchcraft.
His own flame body naturally has a flame guard, and anyone who attacks him will inevitably suffer from the flames. In addition to the body, there is also a lava shield and an energy shield inspired by the Ainstone, plus a large area of fire and heat barriers...... Even a stone man standing beside Grim would be roasted apart, not to mention flesh and blood.
The two manticores frantically attacked the lava shield while gritting their teeth to withstand the bursting lava fireballs in Grim's hands. Their skin was scalded open, and the flames, magma, and flames formed a huge furnace, which scorched them on the outside and on the inside.
Barely breaking through the lava shield outside Grim's body, digging out a few wounds in his tall and muscular body, the two manticores fled for their lives. In their place was a terrifying manticore.
The terrifying ferocious aura came to his face, and even with the strength of Grim's transformation into a flame demon, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart, and the hope of fighting suddenly subsided.
Manticore lion!
That male elite manticore!
In the face of such a detached guy, Grim did not dare to hide his selfishness at all.
The flames outside the body once again raged and swirled, and the fire demon's heart continued to beat wildly, and streams of pure flame energy rushed down the veins to the limbs. The color of the flames outside Grim's body turned from crimson to deep purple in an instant, and a pure and pure evil twisted power erupted along with the fierce fire of the abyss.
While this flame burns the flesh * body, it also has the property of destroying the soul, which is extremely vicious and terrifying!
The leader of the manticore lion stood arrogantly in the midst of the raging flames, and the powerful life force field distorted the space around him, shielding himself from the poison of the flames. Its majestic lion eyes stared at Grim for a moment, and there was both deep hatred and deep incomprehension in it, but more of it was the light of reason unique to intelligent beings.
"Humans, why are you invading our home? We've never killed any wizards!"
"Territory!" Faced with such an enemy who was equal to himself, Grim had to put away the pride of the wizards and gave the real answer: "I need this territory! I need volcanic energy deep underground!"
The manticore leader's eyes darkened, and he immediately knew that today's affairs were not good!
As an underground monster, the manticore cannot do without the special environment of the underground world.
Go deep underground, where there are even more terrifying monsters, some terrifying monsters that even they dare not provoke.
Go to the surface, with the strength of the manticore lions and the difficult reproduction speed, they can't fight those surface monsters at all.
Speaking of which, only the superficial layer of the earth is the most suitable for them!
Leaving this familiar territory, they are likely to fall from the middle of the Black Forest food chain to the lower reaches of the food chain. At that time, it was not that they went out to hunt others, but that they hid and hid from other monsters.
So the significance of this nest to the Manticore Lion family is self-evident!
And the only way to get them to give up this place is to walk past its corpses.
Instantly understanding his situation, the manticore leader no longer had any illusions about negotiations and transactions. With a furious roar, the Manticore pounced on the tall firefiend that Grim had transformed.
Grim pounced on him without showing any weakness.
But before he could pounce, he had swallowed a bottle of potion with his neck raised. This was Gargamel's potion specially designed to counteract the manticore's paralyzing toxin.
Before the two sides made contact, Grim pushed forward with both hands, and a huge pillar of fire with a thickness of one meter met the leader of the manticore fiercely. The other party relied on the vitality field outside his body to resist the flame flow, broke through the flames, and rushed to Grim's body.
......
The furious lion's claws, with a hint of cold wind, left deep scratches on the lava shield in front of Grim. The long, flowing mane on the chest of the leader of the manticore was rolled by the terrible flames, and in an instant it burned into a bare bald man.
Taking advantage of the strength, the long scorpion tail behind the leader of the manticore suddenly stabbed out, and the sharp hook-like poisonous needle at the end of the arthropod obviously had some kind of armor-piercing effect, and it actually broke through the defense of the lava shield and plunged deep into the body of the flame of the fire demon.
Yes......
Oh......
The two opponents let out a painful exhortation at the same time.
Grim felt a pain in his shoulder, then became numb, and then he didn't feel anything. The terrifying paralyzing toxin possessed the ability to paralyze the consciousness of the soul, and Grim immediately felt uncontrolled in every aspect of his body.
It's slight, but it's real!
The manticore leader's bitter howl lies in the fire damage from the scorpion's tail poison needle. It felt as if he had poked his scorpion tail into a terrifying volcanic lava with an extremely high temperature, and his scorpion tail that was densely packed with spiritual nodes was about to be roasted by the high temperature in the other party's body in an instant.
Although it had tried its best to inject paralyzing toxin into it, the opponent had not completely lost its ability to resist like its previous prey, except for its slightly stiff body.
And it, the leader of the manticore, is completely under the double scorching of the sea of lava and fire and the flame enchantment at this moment!
Even with its strength, it couldn't withstand such terrifying fire damage.
Therefore, after struggling with Grim for more than a dozen years, the leader of the manticore took the initiative to retreat and regroup.
And this retreat revealed how much damage the two had suffered in the short engagement just now.
The lava shield outside of Grim's transformed fire demon was completely shattered, and there were cracks in his chest, red magma gushing out from inside, and gathering into a small lava lake on the ground.
After transforming into a fire demon, these are all the blood in Grim's body!
And Grim is miserable, and the leader of the manticore is not much better than him.
It was like being thrown into a lava bath in volcanic magma, and the manticore leader was now burned by the flames and magma, and his flesh and blood were blurred. Looking up and down its body, it was almost impossible to find an inch of skin that was still intact, and there were bubbles and scorch marks with yellow water everywhere, and the blood gushing out was directly vaporized by the high-temperature flames before it could hit the ground.
If it weren't for the fact that its constitution was as high as 11 points and it already possessed the innate ability of 'rapid regeneration', I'm afraid that these injuries alone would have been enough to make it withdraw from today's battle.
Just when the manticore leader pulled a certain distance, ready to take a brief rest, and then launched a more ferocious assault with the help of bat wings, Grim not only did not take half a step back, but took the voodoo scroll in his hand with a big hand, and took the initiative to launch a new round of witchcraft attacks against the manticore leader.
Red Flame Storm!
Fire nuclear melting!
Two berserk fire sorcery in a row locked on each other in an instant, sweeping away like a storm......
