Act XXII
"Black Iron Rank Monster!"
Karn shouted loudly, reminding the guards around him not to take it lightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Normally, monsters that step into the Black Iron Rank will fall to the level of the middle level of the Void under the suppression of the Ember of the First Fire, but that is the area of the core of the embers, and at the edges, such as where Karn is now, the suppressive effect of the power of order is limited, plus this mutant is obviously stronger, so even Karn does not dare to underestimate it.
Moreover, this huge guy is directly in the middle of the road, you must know that these paving stone slabs are enchanted, which has a certain deterrent effect on Chaos, which is why this road has been preserved.
And the mutant, apparently able to ignore this, is on the road, trying to stop the convoy from advancing.
"Ordinary arrows, wound!"
The order was given, Karn shouted, and he told the guards to try them with ordinary arrows first, trying to further determine the strength of the enemy.
The guards drew slender arrows from their quivers, and these arrows were forged from cast iron and could shoot through the thinner iron armor at a distance of three meters, more than enough to deal with ordinary monsters.
The crossbow clenched, and the guards aimed it at the terrifying mutant.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With a flick of Karn's arm, ten arrows pierced the air and headed for the mutant demonic wedgeworm.
Bang bang bang!
The crisp crash sounded through the storm, the mutants froze, and the arrows that struck its thick carapace fell one after another, leaving not even a scratch.
"Sure enough. ”
Karn nodded, as if he had understood a lot.
The mutant turned a blind eye to the attack from the guards, slowly squirming its countless steps, three pairs of compound eyes glowing with turquoise, and two huge chelas reflected thunder in the condensed rain of magic, making the scalp tingle.
"Be careful, everyone. ”
Laying his sword flat and holding it in his left hand, Karn lowered his center of gravity and prepared to attack.
At this time, in Rosen's perception, Karn's entire person's original outgoing spiritual power quickly converged to one point, as if the materialized blade was inserted directly into the head of the mutant, if it was an ordinary person, he would have been unable to move because of the fierce murderous aura, but the mutant only deviated from the huge head, as if it was just a gust of wind.
At the same time that Karn's qi machine locked onto the mutant, several other mercenaries also began to act, the sword in Karloch's hand glowed with cold light, and Lance also drew his red spear, pointing directly at the mutant.
Only Rosen, and Lena, who watched all this with interest, did not move.
"You two, protect the carriage. ”
Karn didn't say much when he saw this, just let the two of them stay where they were, and then stepped forward and swung his sword out!
Hmmm――
The whistling sound could not even hide the roar of the storm, the sword wind brought up the fallen leaves that had long been decayed, and under the pouring rain, you could see a burst of invisible sword qi just like this across the rain curtain and towards the mutant species.
The sword flickered, and the mutant turned its head as if its eyes had been burned by the scorching sun, unable to defend itself against Karn's sword.
This is also the reason why monsters, although they are born with great strength, cannot match the humans of the same rank, and their instinctive actions often cause these monsters to miss opportunities and expose their flaws to be broken by humans.
Despite having the ability to "feel", unlike humans, most of the monsters are only passively triggered, unable to converge all their perceptions like Karn to form an effect similar to the locking of the qi machine, and in the face of this breathtaking killing intent, the mutants naturally retreated first.
"Slash!"
A thunderbolt lit up, like Karn's sword light, and in an instant, the mutant was already in a different place, and the thick green juice splashed disgustingly.
However, unlike the previous demonized cuneiformes, when the blood of this mutant species dripped on the ground, it actually emitted a white mist as if it was boiling by the heat, and quickly enveloped Karn and the others.
"It's ...... Acid Mist !?"
Karlock was the first to recognize the body of this mist, and the extremely rare individuals in the demonized cuneiformis will mutate this ability, and the blood will quickly volatilize once it comes into contact with the air, forming a corrosive acid mist, and ordinary people will have skin ulcers and poison death as soon as they come into contact with it.
Although these poisonous mist had no effect on the Black Iron Rank under the suppression of the embers of the First Fire, and the condensation time was much reduced, it could still easily kill people.
I saw that the acid mist came with the strong wind, and in an instant, several mercenaries and two guards were enveloped in it.
"Ahh
One of the guards let out a scream, he struggled to lift his helmet, only to see that his simple face was long gone, replaced by an incomparably hideous festering face, one eye bubbled down, the flesh of his cheek quickly evaporated, and Sensen's white bones turned into pus, and in less than a moment, a mid-ranking guard was declared dead.
The other guard was also uncomfortable, his left hand coming into contact with the acid mist, the pervasive poisonous mist corroding his arm through the gaps in his arm, causing him to let out a painful wail.
"Be careful!"
Karn had advanced to the Black Iron Rank, and for the Black Iron Rank who could completely control his body, these poisonous mists could not cause much damage, and a veteran like Karloch naturally had countless ways to deal with the acid mist, so this mist was only a threat to ordinary guards who had no ability to resist and Miss Grandia in the carriage.
The dark green acid toxin spread rapidly down the bloodstream, and the poisoned guard was about to die like his companions, but Karn did not panic, and with a swing of his sword, he cut off the guard's left hand from the end of his forearm almost without hesitation.
"Wow-"
It wasn't until a second later that the guard felt the pain, his face flushed, he fell to his knees, covering the bleeding wound, and on the ground not far away, his left hand had turned into a puddle of blood, spreading along the rain.
Lawson was next to the carriage, and the acid mist was no longer a threat under the dispelling of several black iron steps, and he quietly looked at the guard, thinking about what would happen if this body touched the acid mist.
"What happened?"
A soft voice came from the carriage, it was Miss Grandia.
"We were attacked by monsters, and we lost one person. ”
Lena said lightly, she didn't know if the noblewoman's daughter would mourn the guards, but she didn't feel much about the scene herself.
After all, similar scenes have long been commonplace for mercenaries.
Miss Grandia was silent for a moment, and was about to say something, when suddenly there was another commotion in the forest.
"What?"
Lena hurriedly pulled out her dagger, for the commotion was not coming from the front of the chaotic convoy, but from behind everyone.
Sneak attack?
In the midst of Rosen's thoughts, the two demonized wedgeworms had already rushed towards the carriage at high speed.
The orange-red compound eyes are more like the claws of a stinging needle than the giant pincers, only the length of an arm, but the explosive body, these two demonized cuneiformes seem to be mutants evolved for sneak attacks!
