Chapter 670: Stratholme (7)
The Ember Bringer is dead.
The majestic flame scorched the twisted and deformed bodies of the monsters, freed the wretched and pathetic souls, and it was here, in the city, in the middle of this square, the corpses of the undead were piled up, and with a single man, he defeated the entire army of the Scourge and died from a sneak attack from behind.
She tilted her head in confusion, and a fleeting hallucination seemed to convey some kind of message to her...... Now is not the time to think about that...... There were no more undead around her, and whether it was out of fear of her or the big bug in the distance, the dead retreated a considerable distance, making her standing alone on the wall seem even more insignificant.
She hid the blade behind her with her backhand, and looked at the insect monster that was getting closer and closer with a smile, and someone handed her a pillow when she wanted to sleep, which was really the luckiest thing today, she raised her left hand, and the cold breath condensed, turned into a small ice pick, and flew naughtily towards the monster covered in carapace.
The icicle struck Anubrekan's carapace and was bounced off, it had fought the little human girl, and of course she knew that this weak magic could not harm it, and her meaning could not have been more obvious - a clumsy provocation.
Loria still stood still, bouncing Xiaoice blocks onto the monster's carapace as if she had discovered an interesting game, and despite knowing her intentions, Anubrekan was enraged.
Miss Loria wavered a little as she watched the massive bugs rush towards her, and she clenched the hilt of her sword as if she could get comfort and encouragement from it.
It's okay, I'm full, I'm full of mana, and I'm in a state where I'm very capable of playing......
She was too busy finding more theoretical advantages for herself, and even when the bug monster rushed closer, she didn't attack until the monster swung down at her with its sharp scythe's forelimbs, and she reluctantly took a few steps back, just in time to dodge the attack.
What followed for her was a demanding performance.
Anubrekan swung his forelimbs and attacked one after another, his sharp forelimbs smashing a pile of masonry with each slash, but he couldn't hit the slippery little thing, and after another attack missed, it shook its body, and the short wings on its back vibrated rapidly, and countless eggs were scattered.
It just so happens that the large number of corpses of the undead in the vicinity can be the best hatchery for larvae.
"The same old again?" Loria couldn't help frowning, she felt her stomach start to turn bad, and her skin was pierced with a terrible pinprick sensation, and it didn't take long for her fear to come true, and countless cockroaches and beetles appeared in her sight, flying or crawling, all coming towards her.
However, the sordid daily life in the Eastern Plague Lands has taught her some new skills.
A dazzling light burst out of her body and burst outward, a flash of bright light that hit the hemispherical area with her as the core, and the cockroaches and beetles in it suddenly shrank to the ground and remained motionless as if they had been drained of life - this was not a new trick, the priests called it the Holy Nova, almost a magic waste and lack of use, but for her, it was very suitable for sneak attacks and self-protection.
As for other innovations, years of practical experience have made her master of basic magic to the point of perfection, and she can control them as she pleases by changing the properties of magic slightly- Large and small introverted balls of light appeared around her one after another, spinning around her, and even flying out of their established orbits, those swarms of insects that had hatched or had not yet hatched, once swallowed by the ball of light, it was as if they were suddenly soaked in a powerful insecticide, and they would never move after a few struggles, and occasionally the bugs that broke through the band of the light ball approached her, and they would be immediately killed by the Divine Nova.
Anubrekan let out an angry roar, it fluttered its wings and struck Loria, those disgusting bugs seemed to have a different meaning to it, seeing them slaughtered, the former lord of the spider monster was completely enraged, it was not afraid of Loria's holy light magic at all, and the ball of light bounced on it without causing any damage...... This is probably the reason why priests rarely use Holy Nova, its attack ability is so poor.
In the face of the furious Anubrekan's attack, Loria no longer seemed to be at ease, her breathing began to become rapid, and it even took a few atomization to save herself from being smashed into Loria-chan, and she resisted the thought of fighting back with the sword in her hand, tired of dodging.
Anubrekan's eggs seemed endless, and the cobwebs behind it joined the fray, spewing a sticky web at Loria from time to time, and this continued, only to be in a stalemate of constant consumption as last time, and Miss Loria's magic was obviously not as many as the eggs - but Anubrekan didn't want that outcome, and it was more important for it to kill this annoying little creature immediately than anything else.
He slammed his forelimbs into the ground, and the poor old brick wall was almost crumbling, and in the next few seconds, a large number of spikes suddenly appeared from the ground, and Loria was stunned for a moment, and then she was caught by one of the thorns, and she was thrown into the air like a fluttering rag doll.
There is no suspense in the ending...... No one can escape from being struck by Anubrekan's ground thorns and surrounded by countless undead...... The undead's cloudy eyes stared into the air, but Loria was gone, and at the same time, Anubrekan felt a slight weight on his back.
As a debut in front of the world, is there a better bridge than hitting with one hit?
With all the strength of her body, she stabbed the sword with both hands, and it was easier than expected, the blade pierced into the gap between the monster's wings and the carapace, and desperately used her magic to urge the runes according to the method taught by Magni, and the pale flames erupted from the blade.
The next moment...... The next moment nothing happened, Loria noticed that Anubrekan was turning its carapace-heavy neck, as if trying to turn back and give her a contemptuous smile.
The Crypt Lord's forelimbs slammed into the masonry, and a small half of the wall collapsed, and Loria held the Ember Bringer so she didn't fall off its back.
Little by little, the light seeped out from where the joints and the carapace met, and Anubrekan suddenly stopped moving like a bulky machine that had been unplugged, and the light that seeped out grew stronger and stronger, obscuring everything from its eyes, its mouthparts, from anywhere, to the dazzling light.
The undead attack had been thwarted, and the jubilant crusaders had begun their final counterattack, and the slogan "Long live the Queen" was shouted by somebody, and the frenzy spread everywhere, and some people wept and fell to their knees looking at the small figures blurred in the light.
A new Ember Bringer is born.
