Chapter XII
It happened very suddenly, after the adventure team used shell coins to lure out the Moria leeches as usual, and everyone lined up to attack, Bogart did not expect that Bergman's exclamation suddenly came from behind everyone.
The Lich Girl, who was originally a logistics staff, should not have appeared near the battlefield. Because everyone in the team knows that she can basically be said to have no combat power and no defense, a small injury to others is fatal to her. So when it came time to fight, she had to stay in the camp with the officers on duty. This rule is equivalent to acquiescing a long time ago, but the injury of the female silver pupil before made her exchange with the armed personnel on duty. So Bergman also took the opportunity of the female knight's long recuperation time to sneak out of the camp.
At first, Bergman only dared to sneak in the direction of the battlefield from a distance, but unfortunately her eyes were not very good, and she couldn't see anything clearly. Originally, he sneaked out for peace of mind, but as a result, he could hear the sound and couldn't see anyone, which made Bergman even more flustered.
The first few voyeur attempts were so unsuccessful. Later, every time he sneaked behind, Bergman would carefully move to the other side of the battlefield. Getting closer, getting closer...... It's much clearer than before, but it's also equivalent to touching the magic attack range of the mutated Moria leech.
For the members of this team, Bergman's actions are definitely supernumerary. Although I don't know if the support staff found her, but no matter what, the people in front of the protection are still too busy, and no one has time to take care of Bergman behind her. But for the Moria leech, all the demons are enemies, even if the tentacles can't be freed, as long as the big eyes of the bowl glared in the direction of Bergman, several ice bombs and other magic smashed over.
Fortunately, this time happened to be the beginning of a certain wave of attacks by Zorro's team, and the mutant leeches were slightly distracted in order to cope with this round of attacks. As a result, the blood-colored ice bullet that was originally aimed at Bergman lost its aim and smashed two or three meters away from the Lich Girl. But even that was enough to scare Bergman into screaming.
Bergman's screams brought everyone in the arena to a halt.
Not because of surprise, but because of the strange power in her screams, it caused all the Zorro fighters except Bogart to lose their minds for a moment. Bogart should have had a similar reaction, but due to the experience of that full moon night, Silver Pupil seemed to have a vague resistance to Bergman's voice, which made him the only one who could maintain his ability to move until the screaming stopped.
Obviously, even the Moria's mutated leeches in front of everyone fell into a state of temporary absence. Otherwise, Bergman's voice would be tantamount to harming the entire adventure team.
The opportunity cannot be missed, seeing that the mutant leech on the opposite side is temporarily incapacitated, of course Bogart wants to take advantage of his illness to kill him. I saw his right wrist shake, and the bow that was originally used as a single-edged long sword instantly turned into a metal long whip. With a slight twist of the four fingers, the whip shook into a straight line with the slight rotational force, and stabbed straight towards the eyeballs of the mutated Moria leech.
Blood splattered.
The mutant leech didn't even have time to scream before it was pierced through the eye by the spear-like spike. Purple blood gushed out from the tip of the whip like a spring, staining the surrounding water and ice all blue.
The tentacles of the mutant Moria leech instinctively shrank in the direction of its body. At this moment, the effect of Bergman's scream has not disappeared, so these dozens of tentacles cannot twitch indiscriminately, and can only follow the most basic nerve reflexes to curl up. This gave Bogart another chance to strike a fatal blow at him.
The silver pupil, who was already stepping on knee-high water, gritted his teeth and took a step forward, and his wrist turned round again. The length of the long black whip seemed to increase slightly, and as Bogart's movements continued to pierce through the mutated leech's shattered eyeballs!
Then, stir.
At this point, the Lich Girl's screams had stopped, and the rest of Zorro's team had immediately regained consciousness, but the mutated leeches with heavy brain damage were obviously not lucky. The skull had been shattered, and its entire brain had been shattered by Bogart's whip, and it was almost dead. Although the twenty tentacles were still twisting and wiggling, they were completely devoid of attack power.
In order to avoid being counterattacked by the Moria leeches, the combat members of the adventure team jumped to the shore one by one, watching the monster of more than twenty meters roll violently in the water, and occasionally let out a low and gloomy roar, but the sound was still quiet after all. The churning of the water surface is no longer violent.
No one other than Bogart knew what was going on. Bergman had already slipped back to camp at the signal of Silver Pupil. What's more, even if they saw Bergman, no one would associate the incident just now with this emaciated lich girl. How could a person who hadn't even mastered the most basic necromancy techniques unleash a sonic attack similar to a psychic shock?
The immediate priority now is not to investigate the cause of the victory, but to salvage the corpse of the mutant Moria leech and remove the bones as proof of the successful completion of the mission.
So after a brief moment of total effort, one of the hell shooters shyly fired a spear tied to a thick rope and sank into the body of the monster half-floating above the water. Then, at the lich's command, the Abomination Samurai and Ghouls began pulling ropes and dragging the Moria leeches to the shore.
At this moment, the mutation protruded.
The leeches, which were about to be pulled to the shore, suddenly shook their bodies, and then retreated back into the waterhole at a speed several times faster than the minions dragged, and almost all the abominations and ghouls were pulled to the ground by the sudden force, and some of them even had their arms torn off in the unfortunate way.
Then, a giant tentacle more than twice as thick as the tentacles of the dead Moria leech stretched out of the pool and rolled the ghoul closest to the shore into two pieces, scattering the corpse and internal organs all over the ground. The rope used for dragging was also twisted by the current.
Then, a huge bald head slowly floated up from the bottom of the water. It's another mutated Moriath leech! And judging from the proportions, this guy is at least two or three times bigger than the one that the adventure team managed to pick up!
"Damn it!"
Almost all the members of Zorro's team couldn't help but curse. Because the task is to destroy all the monsters in the waterhole, not just the small one.
Although the person who issued the task may only see the small one, due to the problem of the wording of the task, since he has seen this guy who has just emerged, he must destroy it together, otherwise the task will not be completed, and the previous hard work will be completely in vain.
What's more, even if it didn't want to do anything, the new mutant Moria leech obviously had something to do with the dead one, and its two huge eyes were obviously full of anger at the moment. A wave of spirit filled with tyrannical anger and evil filled the nearby space.
This mental fluctuation was apparently accompanied by a low-frequency, distinctive roar, presumably to target all the combatants present. At the same time, countless ice crystals were shot out from the eyes of the mutant leeches towards the members of the adventure party on the shore. These ice crystals are almost crimson in color, slightly flattened, octagonal in shape, and have extremely sharp edges. If the outline of the ice crystals emitted by the small leech before was not obvious and the shooting method was monotonous, the giant guy in front of him was obviously much stronger.
Moreover, not all of the countless ice crystals shot out by the giant mutant leeches in an instant went in a straight line, and some of them obviously attacked Bogart's side from both sides with a curve of rotation. What's more, it actually went around in a strange circle, and then came back from behind everyone's backs.
In this round of magical attacks, although the members of the adventuring team had nothing to lose, the instincts cultivated by their long-term combat life led them to take this round of attacks. But the Abominations and Ghouls, who had not been dragged into the water just now, were not spared this time, and before they could fully get up from the ground, they were torn apart by countless ice crystals almost instantly, drowning in a cloud of ice dust.
It's hard to retreat at the moment.
The opponent's magic is not only overlay, but also clearly has the ability to track. The blow just now, ostensibly a demonstration, had actually cut off the last chance for the adventurous team to leave the shore. Right now, half of this giant mutant leech has surfaced, and its tentacles tens of meters long are enough to attack all the people on the shore, and they don't even need magic.
Several silver pupils who had previously worked as meat shields still stepped forward to block as usual, but as soon as their weapons came into contact with these giant tentacles, they all spurted out mouthfuls of blood. This guy's strength is definitely more than ten times stronger than the one just now, and the knights who estimated it according to the difference in size suffered a big loss as soon as they saw it.
The Crypt Shooters hurriedly opened fire, but their attacks were ineffective. The previous strategy of concentrating on attacking the monster's eyes now basically doesn't work, as long as the opponent cuts off the tentacles in front of him, all the spears can't even shoot into the skin of the tentacles. And this horizontal wrist method does not affect the attack of that tentacle at all.
The Lich Ladies are also in a bad situation, and the hanging of the Abominating Samurai has brought them a little backlash to a certain extent. Although it has not yet done damage, the mana that was already in danger in the last battle is now even less left. Aside from a few basic blessings, the mana they could condense was no threat to the giant leech.
Caught off guard, the Zorro adventure team encountered the biggest threat since its inception.
