Chapter 14: This Fireworks Are Sent to the Ground
"Wouldn't it, so strong? How do I remember this thing wasn't that strong. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "Akai finally got up from the ground and looked up at the moving turrets in the sky.
ghasts, also known as hellish ghosts; From the notes the old mage left behind, I learned that the old mage called them hell bombers, a name that I think is more appropriate than their official name. They are the overlords who were born in Hell and rule the skies of Hell.
It is boxy, with 9 tentacles under its pure white body.
They float in the air as a matter of course, attacking from a great distance in the air, spitting fireballs from their mouths.
Normally, their eyes are closed, floating aimlessly in the sky. However, once attacking the target, they will open their scarlet eyes as they spit out fireballs.
Their bodies are huge, not much worse than the size of the Zombie King.
In addition, since they are attacks from the air, the threat from the sky is undoubtedly not of the same level as the mobile turrets on the ground.
At the very least, for bombardment from the ground, we can hide behind the fortifications or dig a trench and jump down, but we can't do anything from the air.
"I prefer to call them tearful-kun than these titles, ala, I don't know why I started complaining."
"Let's not mention these things yet, the zombie pigs are going to rush up!" Akai interrupted me.
When I came back to my senses, I found that the zombie pigs who had just retreated to the side rushed up again.
[Ice Arrow]! The instantaneous ice arrow froze the head of a zombie pigman who rushed to the front, and Akai and I fought and retreated.
"Qi, this beating is too tragic." Akai kept backing away, shooting arrows as one zombie pigman after another fell from the head.
Due to the threat of Hell Bombers from the sky, Akai and I couldn't stay in the same place for too long, or we would be targeted by fireballs.
If it were a simple fireball, I would say that a [Fire Stand] would have been completely solved, but the ghast spat out of its mouth was not just a simple flame, but a lava projectile mixed with a large amount of matter.
Even if you throw away the flames and are hit by such a large mass of matter, you will either die or be injured.
・・・・・・
"Whew, whew!" Five minutes passed, and after we kept shifting and blocking, the number of zombie pigmen was running low, but the Hellbombers in the sky were still as strong as ever, spitting fireballs at us from time to time.
Shooting the last zombie pigman to death, Akai and I finally stopped to catch our breath.
"Are you alright?" I leaned on my staff and asked Akai.
Nodding, Akai said, "It's okay, fortunately, the recent cultivation has not fallen, and there is still half of the physical strength left." ”
"Well, it's about the same on my side, there is still half of the mana left, and now it is rapidly recovering." Although the mana is a recovery rate of one hundredth per second, I have actually been hit once or twice during this five-minute tug-of-war, and the mana in the archmage suit has been released to protect me, but the mana consumed by it is constantly absorbing my mana to replenish it.
"Akai, looks like we're in trouble." Slowly standing up straight with my staff, I looked around at the sky around me.
"Well・・・・・・ it's really a bad year."
In the sky, there is not just a ghast floating in the sky.
One, two, seven or eight.
These bombers from hell are circling, but in size, much smaller than the first.
"Hey, was it the captain of a squad who chased us in the first place?" Akai couldn't help but complain.
"Look closely." I stared at the giant ghast.
Akai listened to me and looked carefully at the huge ghast in the sky, faintly purple bubbles floating on the surface of the white body, combined with a body larger than the other ghasts.
There is no doubt that this is an elite monster.
"It's bad luck." I shook my head, the monsters in the sky are naturally dominant, and we can't fly, so ranged attacks are easy to dodge.
After thinking about it, I decided not to go toe-to-toe with them.
Just then, the ghast legion in the sky attacked, and two or three lava bullets flew towards us.
"Break through directly into the Nether Fortress, we can't afford it." I couldn't hesitate any longer, so I ran straight to the next fortress and beckoned Akai to follow.
"Oh!" With a roll, Akai dodged the attack of a lava projectile, which smashed into the fragile Hellstone, instantly smashing a large crater and bursting into flames.
As soon as he stood up, Akai suddenly felt a lot lighter in his body, but it was I who cast [Agility] in order to speed up.
Without hesitation, Akai went from tumbling to landing to getting up, a set of movements flowed, and then caught up with me in an instant.
Race all the way to the next Fortress!
"Don't get out of the way!!" The zombie pigmen in this area that were cleared before appeared in a sparse three or two, and they happened to be in the middle of the road.
I swung the Frost Staff directly at the zombie pigman in my way, sweeping it aside. Before the zombie pigman could react, he was frozen into an ice sculpture by the strong cold snap. And I kept running.
"Hey, why can't I make up the knife every time I want to make it cleaner?" With that said, Akai followed behind me, pulled out his iron sword and smashed the ice sculpture, and the zombie pigman died tragically.
"Well・・・・・・"
Why are ―――――――― chasing me because there is a dividing line for the syrup――――――――
A meteor shower began to fall in the blood-colored sky.
Why meteor showers?
"I'll go, this meeting is a long experience." Akai looked back at the ghasts in the sky who were chasing us.
"Stop talking nonsense, run quickly, it's ahead."
It's like running for our lives in a hail of bullets, and we're going to use all the skills we can.
This is the rhythm of being smashed by a meteor shower, and the most deplorable thing is that we have to run in this big jade-shaped barrage for at least five minutes to reach our destination.
Akai rolled to the side, and the ground under his feet was suddenly smashed into a large crater by the fireball.
The fireballs spit out by ordinary ghasts are not that big, which is the size of a normal one, at most the size of a basketball for my charged fireball technique.
But the power is indeed one and the same, after all, one is a pure element, and the other is mixed with matter.
I flickered back to Akai's side, picked up the book in both hands and opened it, and a huge ice pick appeared in front of me.
"Go!" Urging the icicle to fly towards the lava projectile, I took Akai's hand and lifted the fallen Akai from the ground.
[Ascension] A Hell Rock Wall has formed, so it should be able to defend against it.
Akai and I retreated again, and the wall behind us was destroyed in an instant after five seconds of indiscriminate bombardment.
"The soil in this place is too brittle!" I started to complain about the hellish ground.
Eventually, after enduring the indiscriminate bombardment, we finally ran to the bottom of the next fortress.
But the question is...
"No door, no door! Ahhhh "After looking for a long time and there was no door, and we didn't have enough to calmly go up the stairs, I decided to directly and violently demolish and relocate the office.
"Akai, buy me some time!" As I spoke, a cold snap gathered in my hands.
In response, Akai raised his arrow into the air, and by this time there were far fewer ghasts chasing us, and there were only two left.
It seems that the others have been shaken off.
The Hell Bomber is still flying a little slower than normal monsters.
"If it's only two, it's not bad." As he spoke, a lava bomb came at him.
Thinking back to everything I did when I was playing, "I should be able to do it this size!" Akai opened his eyes.
Bend the bow and set the arrow.
A meteoric fireball is just around the corner.
[Cloud Piercing Arrow]!
The red air currents soared again, and the arrows couldn't help but be stained with a layer of flame.
Collided!
After the initial stalemate, the red air flow pushed the lava bullet back with an indomitable momentum!
"It worked!" Akai exclaimed in surprise.
With a strange scream, the ghast in the sky was first hit by the lava bullet it spit out, and then pierced by an arrow, turning into pieces and disappearing into the air, without any relics falling.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang behind me, but I was able to break through the wall.
Akai and I retreated to the interior of the next fortress and looked at each other with a sigh of relief.
