Chapter 406: The Curse of the Corpses
With the cooperation of all the servants, the northern wall basically has no problems.
The two waves of servants who alternated on the western city wall also relied on good cooperation to suppress the invasion of the beast tide.
The eastern city wall was temporarily plunged into chaos due to the expansion of the power of the [Black Mud Abyss], after all, the hundred Assassins lurking in the shadows were a threat that should not be underestimated.
As for the southern wall, although Celeket had been killed by the joint efforts of Karna, Tamaki and Ozmandias, it did not mean that the defense on this side was stable, on the contrary, because of Celeket's death, something more than the three expected.
After killing Selequet, the trio had planned to take a solar boat to the center of Camelot City to deal with Jörmungad, but before they could go far, a new crisis arose to the south.
From Selkat's corpse, countless extremely small golden scorpions ran out, which looked like miniature versions of Selkat, but these little guys had a terrifying place in terms of numbers, and in just a few seconds, the golden scorpions had already occupied most of the plain, and headed towards the southern city wall.
The golden scorpion is only the size of a hand, but there are millions of them.
In fact, when it comes to the content of Egyptian mythology, it is always linked to curses, and most of the reasons why the pharaohs are feared are also because of the terrible curses spread after opening the pyramids, and even the curses of the clock tower have people who use such curses as their own weapons, so you can imagine the terrible curses of Egypt.
The reason why Selkat does not have a particularly strong fighting ability is also because of this reason, those who kill it will be haunted by a curse, and the millions of golden scorpions are all heading towards the solar ship in the sky, and through the layers of high waves, the curse composed of the golden scorpion is heading towards the sky.
Towards Ozmandias, who finally killed Selkett.
Originally, Ozmandias was not moved by it, the bottom of the Night Sun Ship was a hull with the heat of the sun, and these golden scorpions would be melted by the scorching heat if nothing else.
It's just that these golden scorpions were not melted by the heat, but easily formed two torrents with their bodies, bypassed the bottom of the solar ship, and boarded the hull from both sides.
Like a torrent, it invaded.
"I see, isn't the real threat itself, but a curse?" the Pharaoh remained calm, even when he saw the torrent of golden scorpions coming towards him, he still raised the scepter in his hand unhurriedly.
"Go, Yu's pet. ”
Facing the tide of golden scorpions head-on is the hot sand sphinx, as the guardian beast of the royal family, when the pharaoh is threatened, it will naturally appear to resist the danger.
At the same time, the glorious Grand Compound Temple once again surrounded this realm, and in addition to the hot sand sphinx summoned by Ramses II, several hot sand sphinxes also drilled out of the main temple, and they attacked the wave of golden scorpions in turn, and the great temple also turned again, knocking the golden scorpion back.
The golden scorpion that had just boarded the ship was instantly repelled by the powerful force and fell back below, but the millions of golden scorpions were still not so easy to destroy, even if they were slapped away by the hot sand sphinx, or hit by the great temple, the tiny golden scorpion was not fatally injured.
The connected golden scorpions form a web-like structure, relieving the pressure of the attack on each of them, and because their own defenses are basically indistinguishable from those of Serrakat, a wide range of attacks will not cause them lethal damage.
This curse is like an individual that forms a unified network, the million golden scorpions are just an existence, unless they can be eliminated in an instant, otherwise no matter how powerful the scattered attacks are, they will not be able to eliminate them.
It's not so much a curse of the golden scorpion attack as a conceptual curse, and each single individual has the same poison as Selkat, as long as the toxin is injected into the human body, then even the servant will be affected by the poison.
It can be said that in addition to the difference in size, this is the wave of golden scorpions composed of millions of Seleket.
From the very beginning, Selekat was not afraid of death, because its true power can only be revealed after death, and because the power of the beast is similar to magic, its death can not only drag down the servants of one side with a curse, but also contribute to the stronger power of [Black Mud Abyss].
Compared to the sacrifices of the magicians, the beasts were not afraid of sacrifice at the beginning, attacking Camelot City, because they knew that even if they died here, as long as they could achieve their goals, there would be no problems.
Therefore, no matter how much damage the Servant inflicts on the herd, they are always fearless, even if their strength is far weaker than that of the Servant, it does not affect the beast to rush over and attack the enemy one after another.
"Troublesome fellow, don't you want to be at peace even if you die?" The solar ship began to increase in height, widening the distance between it and the golden scorpion wave, and at the same time, the Grand Temple also limited the movement range of the golden scorpion through clusters, but the plain occupied by millions of golden scorpions was not so easy to restrict.
"It's just a curse, not something given by divinity? "Karna's Thunder Lance is also unable to destroy these things, it is only limited to god-killing weapons, for these conceptually cursed golden scorpions, it cannot produce great destructive power, if it is just ordinary power, it is absolutely impossible to destroy them.
Even because of its numerical superiority, after being initially repulsed, the Golden Scorpion began to fight back, engulfing the Hot Sand Sphinx into the tide and eating it away.
In the end, only the blood splattered out, proving the death of the Hot Sand Sphinx, a guardian beast with a single body with the power of a heroic spirit, but still unable to resist the wave of golden scorpions.
It can be said that the curse left behind by Selkat's death is far more troublesome than its own existence.
If you want to completely destroy these things, it is not possible to eliminate them all at once, because of the integration of the curse, even if a single golden scorpion is killed, it will be resurrected in the next moment, and the curse is a whole, even if it is divided into a million points, if you can't destroy these million points together, you can't solve the problem.
"Still, it's stupid, do you really think that no one can erase your curse?" ”
The solar ship slowly ascended, not only to distance itself from the golden scorpion wave, but also to get out of there in case it was affected by friendly attacks.
"The role of the pharaoh is to lead the people, and the destruction of the curse is left to the heroes. ”
With a faint smile, Ozmandias turned his head to the walls of Camelot City.
A little golden light, flickering from the city, then turned into a seven-colored meteor, and hit the place where the golden scorpion wave was.
