Chapter 32: The Devil Strikes
Disasters always occur without warning, and the mercenaries' careers are always full of dangers, but they have never encountered a threat from demons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
When the orange-red flame trail appeared at the edge of the camp, the sentry at the outpost wondered if he was hallucinating. Under the attack that the demons had been preparing for a long time, the three outposts of the Altai camp were all engulfed in flames, and in the face of the huge and terrifying [Fury Monster], ordinary mercenaries and adventurers could not even rise to resist.
Hammering the patrolling humans on the periphery, the three [Fury Monsters] urged the small Fury Monsters behind them, and the fireballs successfully set the tents in the Altai camp on fire and forced the rest of the people out.
In the chaotic smoke of gunpowder, the [Tengshu Devil] hidden in the forest accurately released the [Endo Strike], piercing some of the stronger mercenaries in the crowd, including several elite mercenaries of "Red Rose".
They had never seen demons before, and their rich experience in confronting demonic beasts in the past was simply not useful.
However, contrary to the scattered state of the adventurers of Strange Rock City, the leader of the "Red Rose", Neal and his deputy leader, quickly gathered the closest group members and formed the first line of resistance.
But soon, they found themselves in a dense fireball, and they had to watch out for the elusive green rattans, and it was impossible to break through the demons' defenses head-on.
The two forced breakthroughs ended, the corpses of ordinary mercenaries and adventurers were everywhere, and the outside of the Altai camp was already a sea of fire, the smoke of gunpowder blocked the view, and from time to time several members of the regiment were killed by fireballs and rattans.
Screaming, blood, flames, smoke, more than half of the dead and wounded members, "Red Rose" and "Smiling Honey Sword" luckily converged, but Mark May and Mike were nowhere to be found.
The demons attacked early in the morning, and this was the time when Mark May and the scholars of Strange Rock City were discussing their itinerary, and the guards were very loose, so they picked a good time.
The tent had long since been smashed by the flaming fist of the [Fury Melter], and the fleeing adventurers even saw the horrific sight of the scholars being sucked dry by the rattans.
It is estimated that there are no survivors, and they do not have the capacity to rescue them.
Neil and Nala Cook gathered the rest of the team and absolutely escaped from the path behind the Altai camp, which was the path leading to Strange Rock City, and retreated while fighting the attack of the demons in front of them, which they were still able to do.
If the road behind is not paved with severed limbs and blood.
Many adventurers and mercenaries thought of this before them, and without a collective concept, they retreated a little faster than Neil and the others.
But they were greeted not by the trails full of hope and sunshine, but by the endless stream of wind and shadow wolves pouring out of the forest behind them.
The 200-strong team of adventurers in Strange Rock City died more than 80 people in the first wave of the demon's attack, and more than 40 people were trapped in the sea of fire in the Altai camp, and the 70 or so people who escaped by luck were torn to pieces by the roaring Wind Shadow Wolf, and they only killed a few Wind Shadow Wolves by struggling to resist.
"It's the Wind Shadow Wolf, let's force a breakthrough."
Neil and Nara Cook made eye contact, and they tacitly pulled out a precious magic scroll that would never be used until a crisis.
The Kazekage wolves were still tearing at the human remains on the ground, and they raised their heads as if they felt something, and they were greeted by a wall of flames more than a meter high, as well as several magic projectiles that emitted fire elementals.
The first-level magic scroll "Fire Bullet Group" and the second-level magic scroll "Elementary Fire Wall Technique" are worth close to 10,000 general gold coins of the Astaire Kingdom.
It was a precious treasure obtained in the ruins, and Neil didn't care about the pain anymore, and everyone ran desperately on the path where the flames separated.
"Ahh "Ah, help me!"
Turquoise points of light came out of the wall of fire, directly piercing the heads of several elite mercenaries of the "Red Rose".
The mercenaries on the side were also trapped by the rattan that broke out of the ground, and they were crowded together with the people in front and behind, and the originally neat team immediately became chaotic.
The roar of rage instantly drowned out the cacophony of voices, and a large hole was opened in the wall of fire on the left, and the monstrous crimson fist smashed down without warning, smashing the armored mercenary into iron scraps.
The frenzied force easily shook the scene of several scenes, and this [Fury Molten Monster] raised its head and sucked a part of the wall of fire into its body, its crimson body faintly glowing.
Without the barrier of the wall of fire, the Kazekage wolves rushed in, splitting Neil and Nala Cook's team in two, and more demons were approaching.
"Angela!"
Nala Cook shook away the approaching Shadow Wolf with a sword, only to see her sister being squeezed into the distance, and the Wind Shadow Wolf surging out was like a black stream, separating them completely.
"Sister?"
Angela bit her lip and was horrified to find that several Wind Shadow Wolves were staring at her petite stature.
Luckily, several fireballs rained down from the sky, scaring the Shadow Wolf back as it tried to pounce, and Angela looked behind her to find her good sister, the magician Fay, holding her hand, and the flames swaying at the end of the staff.
I wanted to ease Angela's tension with a smile, but the fearless Wind Shadow Wolf pounced on her again and again, and she had to open the magic barrier to resist the crazy bite of these wolves.
Several orange fireballs were sent out by the demons and bombarded Fei Yi's magic barrier, and she felt the taste of blood in her mouth.
"Go with Casey and Jasmine, quick!"
The once bright face turned pale, there were several scratches on the arm holding the staff, and listening to Fei Yi's hoarse voice, Angela's tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Every time, these sisters took care of her, and this experience couldn't have been more painful.
Out of nowhere, she took a step forward.
"Hurry—"
Fei Yi's voice was suddenly blurred, and before the two could react, a storm of dust and mud swept through their vision.
A loud bang rang out in their ears, their bodies lifted like feathers, and the passage of time became extremely slow.
Consciousness flowed as slowly as sand in an hourglass, and the world around it fell silent, with fragments of loess suspended in mid-air, humans and Shadow Wolves torn apart by the explosion, and the pair of giant flaming hammers that caused the explosion.
The incomparably tall flame giant body formed a terrifying shadow, and under the round and strange head, a huge flame palm stretched out from the crack in the ground, slowly grabbing at Fei Yi, who had passed out.
Monsters, total monsters.
Angela stared at the fire troll, her hands and feet sinking into cold, numb fear.
No one could stand up to such a monster, not even the legendary mercenaries in the Imperial Capital of Astaire, Angela knew that.
Such a monster is a real demon.
"No—"
The expanding flames completely enveloped Fei Yi's figure, and the giant palm closed slightly, breaking all Angela's thoughts.
"Let's go!"
Nala Cook, who managed to fight her way through the Storm Shadow wolves, picked up the sluggish Angela, her steps a little vain, she had not fully recovered from the injuries she had sustained a few days ago.
Without the help of the mage, the continuously burning wall of flame quickly drained the magic scroll, and the roaring Storm Shadow Wolf and the small Fury Molten Monster crossed the smoke zone and slaughtered the rest of the people.
The members of the Red Rose are almost dead, and Neil is still battling the demons with the deputy head and a small group of men.
The "Smiling Honey Sword" is only Nala Cook and Angela on the run, but she is gradually being chased by the Wind Shadow Wolf with a dark wound, and the slower demon is closely following, especially the [Fury Melter] who killed Fei Yi, can overwhelm several large trees with one arm, leaving traces of fire along the way, and weeds and bushes are set on fire one after another.
Casey and Jasmine had been separated from them in the previous conflict, but anyone who stayed on the trail would only end up being torn apart by the demons and the Shadow Wolf.
"If you hadn't taken on this task in the first place?"
Seriously, she regretted it a little.
The glory of the imperial capital made her a little blind and arrogant, thinking that it was a task that she could do, but she didn't expect it to be so.
The familiar feeling of vertigo gradually rose, and Nala Cook used the love sword Red Bird in her hand as a crutch to support her body, and coldly watched as the Wind Shadow Wolf surrounded them.
A small furious fuse shrieked, green flames spewing out several orange-red fireballs at them.
"Mantra Magic, Optical Flow!"
Angela replaced the lengthy chanting process with her name, a smooth barrier formed by the milky white magic, and the fireball bombarded it, and the barrier flickered and almost collapsed.
“・・・”
The tearing pain came from within, and Angela's eyes were almost black, and she shook her body until she collapsed into Nala Cook's arms.
The roar slowly approached, and the largest of the furious melters walked straight up, two giant arms waving, knocking the few small furious melters and the Wind Shadow wolf in their way, and the shadow of death suddenly enveloped their place.
The Flaming Fist spewed flames and slammed down, a terrifying explosion that dispersed with a wave of air, and the bodies of Nala Cook and Angela were sidelined by the air waves.
The Fury Melter let out a roar of rage, and its already massive body swelled in a full circle, and it shook its fists as if confronting the comer.
"It's okay, I finally caught up."
In the blurred field of smoke and dust, the shadows of two people could be faintly seen, and just as Nala Cook was a little confused, a familiar voice came.
A knight's sword, which was crystal clear and glowed white in the daytime, emerged from the smoke and dust.
Behind him was Lindsay, who had run away from the Altai camp last night, confronting this terrible demon alone, but it was unexpectedly reassuring.
"It's a lot bigger than the old one."
Leo muttered, looking at the [Fury Molten Monster] rushing straight towards it like a bull, as well as the Wind Shadow Wolf and the group of mobs that were about to move behind it, and held the [Fluorescent Blade] in his hand a little tighter.
