Chapter 7: The Greenskin

"I think I know what Hano's ultimate mission is," Willy said to Rhaegar with a deep breath.

The geist nodded, "Our companion was sacrificed to Hano," a dangerous flame twinked in his eyes, "I'd like to see that interesting idol sooner rather than later..."

Rhaegar's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the next moment, the geist that appeared outside the cave with the help of a short-range teleportation technique soared into the air, swept over the jungle outside like lightning, and returned to the place where Haim and the others were lying in a matter of seconds.

In the clearing in front of the woods, two one-horned, ape-like beasts were attacking the shield set up by Rhaegar with their thick wooden clubs, and Rhaeggar's pet, the mighty swamp monster, was nowhere to be seen. Under the bombardment of wooden sticks weighing hundreds of kilograms, the invisible magic shield rippled like waves of water - at most, the barrier that could withstand the impact of siege engines could completely collapse.

Two bolts of lightning fell from the sky almost at the same moment, slashing at the two giant beasts that were raising wooden sticks, and a strong electric current instantly flowed through their bodies, up to three meters, and the monster weighing nearly eight hundred kilograms immediately fell to the ground with convulsions, and the next moment, before they could recover from the electric shock, two rocks of at least a thousand kilograms flew into the air and smashed their heads.

The two giant apes were the offspring of an ogre crossed with a gigantic ape, and they were powerful, agile, and thick-skinned, and they were at the top of the food chain in the mountainous region of the region, but they were not much stronger than newborn lambs in the face of angry archmages.

As he dragged the boulder with his magical hand to destroy the enemy, Rhaegar had already fallen to the ground, first removing the magic shield and then awakening his unconscious companions.

"What's wrong?" the dwarf opened his eyes and asked in a daze, "Why am I lying here?" he looked around in confusion, "We killed the big lizard, right?"

"We'd better wait and talk about that," Rhaegar said to the equally bewildered Heim and Nack with a grim face, as he quickly applied the spell of restoring strength, agility, and defense to his companions, "because we're going to do something more important now - fight your way out of here." ”

By the time he woke up his companions, Willy, who had been left behind, had made her way through the woods to their side, and around the same time, a group of uninvited guests appeared around the team.

It was a group of tall humanoids, they were about two meters tall, their green skin was covered with disgusting pustules, bare heads, triangular eyes, and fangs that glowed with cold light protruded out of their mouths, and their number was about twenty, and each of them held in his hand a wooden stick no less than that of a slain giant ape.

"It's the Greenskin," Heim said, gasping, "Looks like we're in big trouble right now." He quickly stood up, drew his sword, and prepared himself for battle.

The elf's performance infects them, and the team immediately becomes nervous.

"What's that?" the Tomahawk asked, looking at the rapidly approaching monsters in the distance. He wasn't all right, but the dwarf, who had always been as stubborn as a stone, refused his companions' request to keep him in the middle, stubbornly standing at the front of the line, "They look disgusting." ”

"This is a group of creatures from the lower worlds," Rhaegar quickly explained to his friends the origin of these monsters before they could get close, "that world has been destroyed, and they escaped here through the spatial gap. Each of them is the best warrior, with strong skin and a unique defense against magic, with only their head being their weakness - only relatively, of course. Plus, those disgusting-looking pustules are actually their biggest killer feature, each of which can shoot venom unexpectedly - the defensive magic I've cast on you will protect against these venoms well, but you'd better not get too many hits, or you'll be beyond the limits of your magic.

"What are we waiting for!" the dwarf, who had been knocked down in the battle with the Lizard King, was already holding back his fire, and he roared and rushed out in the face of the monsters that rounded him up as if he were his prey, and the Kroll Axe arced through the air and slashed at the nearest greenskin.

As Rhaegar said, these greenskins are the best warriors, and beneath their ugly and clumsy exterior lies an astonishing talent for martial arts and combat, and the members of the skilled squad are caught in a bitter battle as soon as they come into contact. With their rudimentary sticks in their hands, the greenskins took only six men to hold Nack, Willy, and Tomahawk in a tight grip and battle them, while the rest bypassed the warring men and continued to press fast on Rhaegar and Heim—instinct telling them that the robed human standing next to the elves was their greatest threat.

Two long green arrows slashed across the sky and shot at the advancing greenskins, but the arrows of Aror's bow, which had always been a hundred shots, unexpectedly missed today, and the two greenskins who were targeted just waved their wooden sticks at random, and easily blocked the sharp arrows that were as fast as lightning.

But even the greenskins didn't notice it, and under the cover of the long arrow that had attracted their attention, another sharp arrow with an indistinct image was quietly cutting through the night sky and falling on the monsters who were fighting the team.

The Shadow Arrow, the second attack of the Aror Bow, the once wounded dwarf has become the beneficiary of this attack that the elves can only send once a day, and the long arrows that can penetrate the heavy armor can easily pierce the back of the greenskin's head, which is relatively weak to the body.

The death of their companion was quickly sensed by the rest of the greenskins - there was a unique telepathy between these monsters that could tell them about the status of their companions within a certain range of them at the first time - the monsters roared in anger and launched a furious attack on the team, and as the murderers of their companions and the enemies they instinctually considered to be the greatest threat to their side, Haim and Rhaegar withstood most of the greenskins' attacks.

The tacit cooperation, the superb martial arts, the brave style, and the amazing, completely instinctive judgment of the situation, all of these add up to the performance of the greenskin monsters in battle, and even Rhaegar has to admit that in terms of melee combat alone, these monsters are definitely enough to rank in the top five of all the intelligent races in the universe, and given their extraordinary resistance to magic, they are undoubtedly enemies that most mages are unwilling to encounter.

Fortunately, Rhaegar is not a mage in the ordinary sense of the word, with the help of flexible footwork shuttling between the mountain-like layers of stick shadows, the geist uses his strong flesh to resist his opponent, while thinking quickly about countermeasures.

The greenskin monster is one of the few creatures in this universe that can resist magic, and their bodies are even more resistant to magic than ordinary weapons, and it is difficult to hurt them unless they use magic that is equivalent to the seventh order or higher, but even an eighth-order archmage cannot use such powerful magic in a short period of time.

There's another way to try: soul attacks. Like most warriors, these green-skinned monsters do not focus on soul and spirit cultivation, as long as they can invade their bodies, it only takes a split second for Rhaegar to destroy the soul of any of them. But unless he was going to give up his body, the only consequence of that was to suck him back into the undead realm after destroying the monsters—there were enough enemies to destroy his body before he could kill all of them.

Rhaegar drifted dreamily, passing through the gap between the two greenskins, and the next moment, the geist who came behind the other struck his right fist like lightning, hitting the back of one of the monsters in the back of the head, and the rock-solid skull was vulnerable to the iron fist as heavy as a mountain, and the poor creature made a bone-shattering sound in the head, and then fell to the ground, losing his life.

It was the first opponent Rhaegar had killed in the three minutes since the start of the battle, and in return, two sticks slammed into his back, causing his body to soar into the air as he retracted his fists, and before he could balance in the air, two more clubs struck him on the head and chest.

Two magic shields instantly appeared in front of the part of the geist that was attacked, and the hastily summoned shields turned into points of light in the sky in the impact of the wooden sticks that were powerful enough to buy Rhaegar enough time, his body deftly did a somersault, dodging the attack that had become powerless, and landed behind one of his opponents, who had already wrenched its neck with a pair of large hands like iron pincers before the latter could turn around.

While Rhaegar was fighting his opponent fiercely, his companions were in a difficult situation, and the twelve greenskins divided into four groups to divide and surround the members of the team, and with the help of their numerical superiority and seamless cooperation with each other, these monsters quickly gained the initiative on the battlefield, and if it was not for a miracle, the defeat of the team was only a matter of time.

All of this was clearly seen by Rhaegar and the geist knew that if he didn't come up with a solution soon, it would be difficult for all his companions but him to save their lives, which prompted him to make a final decision.

A cloud of black flames appeared around Rhaeggar's body without warning, and the next moment, five black tentacles shot out of the flames like arrows at the same moment, and several green-skinned monsters besieging the geist had already been hit before they could react, and under the incineration of the fire of judgment that could destroy everything, the body that could resist any magic below the seventh order was turned into ashes in an instant.
