【Chapter 202】 Unstoppable, the skull of the dead
As a meat shield-type witch, magic is Linda's biggest shackle, and the gap in combat skills doubles her consumption. Falling Rock Shock is equivalent to a life-saving move, and once the release fails, she faces the dilemma of not having a stone skin shield, which is why she is only sure to take out two orcs.
The rock thorn punch gradually dissipated, and Linda gasped violently, staring into the darkness in the distance.
I don't know what happened to Elena.
The orc, whose skull was pinned to the waistband of his trousers, cautiously scanned the darkness around him as he picked up the hatchet that had fallen to the ground.
The skull on the belt, the green light in the eye sockets jumping, as if searching for something in the darkness.
Elena in the distance, adjusted her breath, only to realize that she had made an extremely serious mistake just now - the length of the distance of the dark jump determines the level of mana consumption.
And she subconsciously avoided it just now, and it was very unwise to choose the stupidest strategy, and it was also the most instinctive strategy - the longest distance jump, which also caused her magic power to be consumed by more than half in an instant.
The smartest thing to do is to jump short distances, just dodging the throwing axe. And the remaining magic power can support a dark boil, even if it can't burn the orc, it can burn him to cripples.
But now, it's too late to regret it.
This has nothing to do with the level of IQ, it is completely a huge gap in combat experience.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the jump was far enough away that the orc would not be able to find her in a short period of time.
"Woo Woo ......"
The orc returned to the place where Elena had disappeared and sniffed the smell carefully with his nose, but the interruption of the smell caused by the teleportation made him very confused, and he had to increase the scope of the search.
The screams and roars of the orcs woke up the sleeping farm, and the screams of the adults, mixed with the cries of children, were in turmoil.
But the orc was unmoved, he understood - the real enemy was nearby.
"Woo Woo ......"
With the increase in the search range, Elena, who was lying in the dark, also lifted her heart, she did not rashly choose to escape, and the footsteps would reveal her location.
Now, the only thing she could do was to calm down and wait for her magic to return.
Knock knock knock......
Heavy footsteps are getting closer.
"Hurry, hurry. ”
Elena was full of anxiety, and the divine power in her body was trickling down.
Suddenly, the orc's footsteps stopped instantly, and the hideous face suddenly turned in Elena's direction, a clue to the smell brought to him by the autumn wind.
It turns out that Elena is only suitable for being an assassin in the dark, and her two major abilities, Dark Boiling and Dark Jump, one is to continuously consume mana with the burn range and time, and the other is to consume different mana with the length of the jump distance.
Short-range jumps, instantaneous burning, supplemented by physical killing, are the best choices.
Unfortunately, there was no one to teach, and Elena was completely unaware of it.
Perhaps, going through this battle will make her re-examine herself.
But now, she is faced with the question of whether she will survive.
"Whoop, whoop......"
The orc's breathing, which had intensified with nervousness, continued to echo in the darkness.
Elena clenched her palms, fine beads of sweat appeared, and her breathing involuntarily intensified, almost, almost......
Click.
The sound of the dead wood breaking sounded, and the orc's footsteps paused, holding the axe in both hands, and the corners of his mouth grinned in a hideous arc, and he took two big strides to Elena's hideout.
Elena raised her head suddenly, and instantly met the pair of brown-red eyes that flashed with a fierce light, and the sound of breaking the air immediately sounded.
At this distance, even if the darkness boils, it can't stop the slash of the sharp axe. In desperation, Elena had to use the Dark Jump again.
With a bang, the distance of the jump was very short, and it was two or three meters away from the back of the orc.
The hollowed orc turned around vigilantly and looked at Elena with a somewhat surprised expression, and when he noticed Elena's sharply bullying chest, a glint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
The orcs swooped up, and Elena made another short leap, narrowly dodging the axes.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Elena could no longer control her heavy breathing, and her dark vision was blurred from the mental exhaustion caused by the exhaustion of her magical power.
Worst!
At the last moment......
"Herod'......"
A high-pitched horse chirp tore through the night sky. In the darkness in the distance, white flames rose and Leah rode on her horse and shouted, "Elena!"
"I'm ......"
The axe slashed into the air.
Elena, whose voice was stuck in her throat, used up her remaining magic power and made one last dark leap in the direction of Leah.
In the darkness, the six-legged divine horse galloped, and the dazzling white light drew a jumping trail, galloping towards Elena at a very fast speed.
The six-legged pony is unstoppable.
Da
The orc was obviously aware of the crisis, and quickly dodged sideways, but it was still affected by the cone-shaped halo, and his blood surged up, and his eyes turned black.
Snort.
A sharp rapier pierced through his shoulder.
"Herod'......"
The six-legged divine horse, which had made a wave of charge, twisted its body at an incredible angle, and in the midst of the six-hooves running wildly, it rushed over again with an unstoppable momentum.
With a bang, the orc's strong body was knocked into the air and flew up, falling heavily to the ground, and before he could come to his senses, the six-legged horse raised the dock high, and its four thick hooves arched and crushed it down with a thunderous force.
Click, click, the sound of dense bone shattering sounded, the orc's mouth was foaming with blood, and his eyes gradually lost their brilliance. And the green glow of the human skull hanging from his waist was extinguished.
Leah leaned over with her sword, and when she saw the corpse that could no longer die, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and the light slowly dissipated in two waves of charging six-legged horses.
"Come, Elena. ”
Grabbing Elena's hand and pulling her to the horse, Leah asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Elena shook her head, her hanging heart finally let go, and her tone was full of self-reproach: "Liya, I'm sorry. I was so stupid. ”
"It's alright, Elena, I understand. Fearing that she would fall into self-blame and be unable to extricate herself, Liya rode her horse back to the farm while gently admonishing: "Four orcs, even if it is me, will not choose to escape." ”
"No, Leah. Elena shook her head in distress and bit her lip tightly: "I have enough strength to kill them, but I made the stupidest decision, I am such a fool." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, we'll go back and talk about it. ”
The Ivor sentry lit a bonfire, and Linda, who had returned first, looked at the prime minister and breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw Leah and Elena return safely.
Elena rolled off her horse and rushed into Linda's arms, wiping her tears: "I'm sorry, Linda. I'm sorry guys, I was so stupid. ”
Lia, who came down later, with a wry smile on her face, patted Linda on the shoulder: "Elena may have been frightened." ”
"Thank you, Leah. Elena cried and shook her head: "Otherwise, I'm a fool, and I may never see everyone again." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Linda stroked her back, "Let's go inside." ”
The militia team with torches, led by Eric, rushed over in a panic: "Lord Leah, what happened? someone heard the roar of the orcs!"
"The danger is lifted for the time being, Eric, so don't panic. Leah looked at the farm that was in turmoil, and said with a calm face: "Let the militia team calm everyone's emotions." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
In the distance, a cavalry team with torches also arrived. Sir Weimar personally led the team, and when he discovered the fire on the farm, he immediately rushed to the team.
"Lord Leah, what's going on?"
"Your Excellency Weimar, we have just gone through a battle. ”
......
In the distant and obscure black fog forest, there are more than twenty orc shacks by a rushing river. One of them was centrally located, in the tallest shack, with the light of torches.
An orc in a robe, hunched over, with a fur cloak and a scepter in his hand, his hideous face had a different complexion from that of other orcs, a blood-red color, and his eyes glowed with a dull red.
Beside him, stood a burly orc who thought he was wearing a steel waist guard and steel shoulder armor, with runes painted in blood on his face and chest, and a huge bloody war hammer on his shoulder.
"Takma ...... Tell me, what do you see through the skull of the dead?" the orc's hoarse voice sounded like the roar of a wild beast.
In front of Takma, a thick basin of blood shone faintly with some kind of faint vision.
"Challenge! I see the challenge. Brave Camuro. Quack Quack ...... Quack...... "The orc's throat was as sharp as a raven, as if it had been burned by fire, "Our great ancestors thirst for powerful blood food. The skulls of the dead, the blood of the drowned, show us the way. ”
