Chapter 11: The Stitched Monster
"Your Highness, you shouldn't come here, it's dangerous here!" Lawrence looked at Gianna who arrived, very worried.
"I'm not a kid anymore, Grandpa Lawrence!" Gianna looked at the scene with a heavy face.
The burning ship and the wailing crew all shocked the senses of the eldest lady.
This is not the first time Gianna has seen a dead person, but it is the first time she has seen so many dead people!
Seeing the resurrected corpses appear one after the other, Gianna unleashed the magic of detection.
"Sure enough, it's the power of shadow spells, and I've seen descriptions of these monsters in my teacher's collection, albeit a little different..... These resurrected corpses...... It's the undead!"
The mages are very knowledgeable scholars, with a very rich knowledge reserve, and the collection of books in Dalaran is very rich, in addition to some spell books there are also history, astronomy, gonzo, various travelogues and so on.
The once mischievous Gianna secretly broke into the private library of her teacher Antonidas, and found some accounts of these undead in one of the inconspicuous corners, to be precise, of a great predecessor named Merry Dongfeng......
Merry Dongfeng is one of the founders of the Council of Tirisfar, and the first undead in history, as a legendary hero on the continent of Lordaeron and one of the first hundred magicians to be taught by the elves, Merry was killed in the Troll War three thousand years ago when facing an army of Trolls from the Ancestral Forest of Zuaman with the powerful ability to regenerate, but due to the urgency of the war, Merry was resurrected as an undead and returned to the battle.
After the battle, he was ostracized by the human world because he was undead, but then disappeared, and after Merry disappeared, Dalaran banned the spell that turned into an undead, and forbade anyone to study and study.
There were even radicals who destroyed spellbooks on the transformation into undead, leaving only some methods of communication with dead souls, and those who mastered these methods were later called psychics.
It's just that psychics are a profession that specializes in communicating with dead souls, and they are highly respected in the human realm, after all, for those who miss their deceased relatives, psychics are the ones who can fulfill their wishes.
It's just that......
Psychics are usually not very powerful, and the methods of transforming the undead have long been lost, and these undead do not seem to have wisdom at all...... Gianna was puzzled.
"No matter, end the battle first, and then ask the teacher when you get back to Dalaran......"
With Gianna's joining, the human side is overwhelmed, and Gianna has become an elite-level mage at a young age with her extraordinary talent, and she is extremely skilled in frost magic, and she will cast a blizzard wherever there are many undead.
Although the undead have a strong undeadness, this undead has been greatly weakened in the face of frost magic, and many undead have been frozen into ice by Gianna's frost magic and directly stop moving.
"Hold on, kill all these monsters, we're about to win!"
With Gianna's support, there were fewer and fewer undead, and the undead who rushed ashore from the water had stopped, and just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, three huge shadows appeared under the surface of the water.
"Be careful! Something terrible is coming out! Move closer to me!" Gianna, who was the first to perceive it, immediately reminded.
Everyone didn't dare to fight when they heard the reminder, and slowly gathered around Gianna while fighting.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Something seemed to be trying to climb up the shore in the water.
"Wow!" A huge sound of water came, and a huge figure broke out of the water!
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a terrifying monster that was six meters tall and four meters wide, these monsters were bloated and somewhat fat, with limbs like ordinary people, and facial features could be vaguely recognized on their ugly faces.
"Oh my God! what kind of monster is that?"
After the monster appeared, the features on its body became clearer and clearer by the light of the fire.
I saw that its arms were the arms of a bear, and below its body were the feet and legs of a snowman, and there were hairs in some places on its body, and scales in some places, and what was particularly terrifying was that its head seemed to be made of two faces, and if you looked closely, you could make out the painful expressions of their torture before they died.
The naked bodies of these monsters were covered with dense wounds, and the wounds also had obvious stitch marks, like ...... The stitched wounds flowed green liquid, dripping on the ground with bursts of corrosive smoke rising and emitting an unpleasant stench.
Suddenly, the monster let out a roar and rushed towards the people on the shore, joining the battlefield at a speed that did not match its size at all!
"Ahh
"Damn!"
"Save ...... Help!"
These monsters are like killing machines after joining the battlefield, they charge wildly, their bodies exude an amazing murderous aura, and wherever they pass, they don't need to do anything, they use the power brought by their huge size to frantically devour living creatures!
Scolding, screaming, and cries for help are endless.
"Your Highness, you go quickly! Lawrence, who sensed the crisis, immediately came to Gianna.
Gianna is not yet an adult, although she is very talented, she has been fighting with the mages of Dalaran from time to time, and has also participated in some battles, but when has she ever seen such a monster?
"No...... I can't go, there's no one in the Proudmoor family who retreats without a fight!"
Gianna suppressed the panic in her heart and pretended to be calm, but she grabbed the small hand of the staff in her hand, and the hand was bloodless because it was too hard, as if only the staff in her hand could give her safety at this time.
Without waiting for Lawrence to say anything more, Gianna gritted her teeth and raised her staff to unleash an ice arrow at the monster.
The ice arrow hit the monster accurately, but the monster did not suffer from the negative effects of the cold like the other undead, and did not even take any damage, and continued its slaughter.
Unwilling, Gianna continued to attack the monster, with ice arrows, blizzards, and frost novas...... All kinds of magic rained down on the monster.
The monster under the attack of magic seemed to notice Gianna, and although these weak magic could not do anything with it, Gianna, who was annoying him like a mosquito, made him very irritable.
The monster, which had finally followed its instincts, rushed towards Gianna......
......
On a hill near the town of Nanhai.
"It's useless...... Although my 'Peachwick' is only a half-finished product at the moment, it is not something you can resist as a little girl......"
In the darkness, a cold voice slowly came from the uninhabited hills, speaking from the dark shadow that had destroyed the port earlier!
"Those defective products are really vulnerable...... But it's very suitable as cannon fodder, I didn't expect that traitor to know my identity and dare to threaten me...... Am I so threatening? Hmph, I had to transfer these subjects, and it's not a pity to die! But it's just right to use these subjects to collect experimental data...... I hope that little girl doesn't die, it's not easy to mess with that old man from Antonidas, this is not the time to be exposed......" After saying this, the black shadow stopped talking and continued to observe the battlefield, and the dark hills fell silent again, as if it had been so quiet from the beginning.
"Your Highness!"
Lawrence saw the monster named 'Parchwick' rushing towards Gianna like an old dog guarding a calf, and before he could persuade Gianna again, he took his sword and charged at 'Parchwick'.
'Parchwick' looked at Lawrence who was rushing towards him very impatiently, and directly swung it at him quickly with his thick arm, and the blow with the huge power of 'Parchwick' made the air faintly explode, Lawrence's face changed, and he blocked with his sword at a very fast speed.
'Bang!'
There was a loud bang, and a figure flew out quickly, collapsing a house before stopping.
"Grandpa Lawrence!"
It was Lawrence who flew out, he was knocked away by the terrible force of 'Parchwick', and the 'Parchwick' who had knocked Lawrence away continued to rush towards Gianna as if he had done a small thing, and there was no enemy along the way, and those who tried to go up to stop it were either knocked away like Lawrence or directly slapped into meat sauce.
When she saw 'Parchwick' and rushed to her, Gianna's face turned pale.
"Die, monster!" Gianna reluctantly raised the staff in her hand, condensed the magic power of her body, and cast the strongest magic she could cast with her current strength.
'Boom!'
The magic slammed into 'Parchwick', and Parchwick took a step back...... It's just one step.
Seeing that this was not good, Gianna was about to summon the magic carpet and run away, and a feeling of collapse came from her body, "Oops, I used too much magic before......" Gianna shakily and gritted her teeth to continue condensing her magic power.
Only by this time 'Pachwick' had rushed in front of Gianna, and a huge figure enveloped her, and she faintly felt the breath of death.
"Ahh
His eyes were torn, and he didn't have time to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth before he was about to charge again, regardless of his injured body.
It's just too late......
Hearing Lawrence's voice, Gianna only had time to glance at Lawrence before she noticed that the shadow of death was growing in front of her.
"Great...... Grandpa Lawrence is fine...... Hope it doesn't hurt too much...... I'm most afraid of pain....."
Gianna closed her eyes in despair.
