Act VII
Judging by the current situation, the second possibility is higher.
Rosen and Elandall heightened their vigilance, and their perception extended, forming an impenetrable net, taking in the surrounding situation, but they soon discovered that the air flowing here was mixed with an extremely high concentration of primordial magic, blocking most of the penetration of perception, in the past, Rosen alone could grasp the situation of the entire island, but now, even with Alandall, he could only detect the surrounding area of fifty yards.
In perception, only the monster named the Devouring Grass exists, this plant lives by devouring flesh and blood, grows rapidly, and can soon form a small woodland, in the continent of Atlas, this kind of monster usually occupies some abandoned houses, disguised as ordinary creepers, luring ignorant adventurers to settle in, and finally take advantage of the night to devour them.
Since there is a man-eating grass, it means that there are at least other creatures here, but the silence is really unsettling now.
The ornate buildings looked eerie in the black sun, and Rosen and Irandall walked forward, the smell of corruption growing stronger around them.
Passing through what looks like a back garden, a pond appears and gives them a clue.
It was supposed to be a flowery garden, but by this time all the trees had withered, and after the baptism of time, there were not even any stumps left, and the blood-soaked soil took on an unnatural black-red color, but the most striking thing was the water.
Logically speaking, the water here should have evaporated long ago, and it is impossible to leave traces of water, but the pond is clearly sparkling and rippling.
"This ......"
When Irandall saw the water, a chill rose up her spine, making her feel uncomfortable.
Because the pool of water was not ordinary running water, but a foul pool of black viscous liquid mixed with the limbs of a broken unknown monster, emitting a foul stench that would make you faint.
The surface of the water is not calm, but from time to time there is a bubble or two, as if breathing.
The root system of the man-eating grass extends into the pool water, and it seems that it grows on the filthy water.
"There's something in the pool. ”
Lawson paused and slowly drew the Wolf Knight's greatsword.
From the bottom of the pond, from time to time there were bursts of power fluctuations, like a tremor of the heart, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
There was a sound of running water, and Elandall saw something slowly floating up at the bottom of the pond, pushing the corpses aside.
An ugly face appeared in front of the two.
There were hundreds of eyes on that face, and the pupils were turning, looking in different directions, there was no nose or ears, and under the eyes was a mouthpart, narrow and deep, like a needle.
Along with that face appeared its body, as narrow as a centipede, with countless hands and feet, and these hands and feet were not the limbs of a beast, but the arms of a human.
The monster shook its head, and soon spotted Lawson and Elandall.
It seemed to be thinking about the identity of the other party, and saw that with a sweep of Lawson's long sword, a silver sword light struck, directly cutting off several arms of the monster.
"Woo-woo-"
The monster let out an inexplicable growl, as if to accuse Lawson of his unreasonable attack, and leaned back slightly, then jerked its head forward, and from its thin mouth, black flames gathered to unleash.
"Shut up. ”
But Rosen's speed was faster, and he stepped out, and he was already in front of the monster, and the great sword in his hand rose up, hitting the monster's mouthparts just right.
Bang Dong –
Unexpectedly, the big sword collided with the bird's beak-like mouthparts, and there was a crisp metallic clashing sound, and sparks flew everywhere, causing the monster's head to deflect.
The flames erupted at the same time, but they missed the pavilion on the side.
I saw that the black flames evaporated the pavilion almost instantly, and quickly spread to all sides, and there was suddenly a lot of irritable aura in the air, which made people's mouths dry.
Lawson immediately adjusted his posture, his sharpness was revealed, and another sword fell.
This time, Lawson chose to attack the slightly weaker body, judging from the attack just now, the mouthparts should be the main predatory organ of this monster, the hardness is quite high, but the other parts are not so hard.
The sword light flickered, and the monster's steps fell, and black blood erupted from its body, mixing into the water of the pond, making it look more and more disgusting.
Buzz –
The monster's countless eyes burst into light, and a force suddenly appeared on its body, trying to push Lawson away, and at the same time, black flames brewed in the monster's mouth again, ready to attack Lawson again.
This is the power of the law, and it is the power of some kind of unquestionable "rejection".
Lawson involuntarily stepped back, as if there should be that distance between him and the monster.
Black flames erupted, encircling Lawson, who had no way out.
Zheng –
A beep sounded, and four pairs of light wings intertwined with cross-shaped light opened behind her, and the clothes on her body also changed, becoming a short leather coat and boots, emitting a faint light, and two flintlock muskets, one black and one white, in her hands were the conceptual armament called Tranquility and Dawn.
Bang bang bang –
The three shots directly hit the monster's head, causing it to deflect somewhat, and the control of the fire and law was instantly reduced.
Rosen took the opportunity to escape, and the blue flames above the Wolf Knight's greatsword ignited, illuminating the filthy earth with a slash.
Buzz –
The force of the "refusal" took effect immediately, and Lawson's slash was distorted in mid-air, almost dissipating.
Bang bang bang –
Edlandall hit three more shots, and this bullet seemed to ignore the laws of the monster and hit the same spot again.
The monster roared, and the black flames from its mouth spewed out, forming a barrier of fire around itself, trying to block Elandall's next attack.
But with his other hand, the white musket rang out, and a ray of light twisted from the muzzle of the gun, bypassing the barrier of flames in an inexplicable trajectory and hitting the monster's head.
In the next moment, four pairs of light wings behind Erandall burst into golden flashes, countless intricate beams of light, shooting towards the monster that had stopped its movements due to the attack.
Boom Boom Boom Boom –
In just an instant, the huge monster was shrouded in the smoke of the explosion, and there was no trace of it.
But the silence lasted only a moment, and only a beep was heard, and the whole world froze.
The smoke of gunpowder, the dripping sewage, and the splashing limbs were all frozen in mid-air.
Buzz –
From the center of the explosion, a ray of light spreads out, infecting the world.
"It's ...... Its realm of laws?"
Rosen frowned slightly, and clenched the wolf knight sword in his hand.
