Chapter 879: Retreat
Even the hardest carapace will be melted in an instant under the rune-enhanced energy pulses.
A huge gap was instantly opened in Kogath's back, like a lobster that had been split vertically from behind with a single knife, and scorched and pungent smoke kept pouring out of the wound.
Sindra's Dark Orb and Sarah's Divine Flame also pierced through Kogath's hard chitin carapace, leaving diffuse and penetrating wounds respectively, densely covering his entire body, and even his head was shattered in half.
And Ryz's arcane energy poured into the wound, and a flash of light illuminated the abyss of purple blood flowing from Corgas.
The pulp-dense contents churned in it, and a dissolving substance covered a piece of driftwood like a shroud, which bubbled like boiling water. Its surface fluctuated, swollen blisters bursting and oozing a pool of reflective fluid, like an animal's fetus writhing and stretching in foaming amniotic fluid, tugging at bands of pale mass like braids. These thin strips defied the laws of physics, elongating and swelling at the same time, sticking to its wounds like correction fluid, and then rapidly blackening and hardening into a carapace.
Jeno couldn't see any bones or organs in Kogath's wounds, but he heard the grunts and whines of something that shouldn't exist in this world, something more terrible than death, and he shuddered.
The outpouring of terrifying energy lasted for more than half a minute, and even though Kogas, who was at the center of the bombardment, was already stationary, Jeno had no intention of ceasefire.
The other party is a terrifying void creature, even if it is a whip corpse for a day and a night, it is not an exaggeration, not to mention that Jeno still sees those indescribable things in its body!
Even during the Rune Wars, magical bombardments of this magnitude were uncommon.
Jeno was right, more and more smoke gushed out of Kogath's body, obscuring his vision, and Jana had just blown them away, and in less than a second, more were pouring out, like a violent chemical reaction inside.
The smoke spread, and the shrouded trees quickly withered and died, turning an eerie gray-white color, as if burning out life in an instant. The forest is dying, and the thorns that entangle Kogas will not survive, but Zyra is still holding on to the ground.
"Damn, don't hold on!"
There was no other way, and Jeno, whose energy output was at its limit, stopped his attack and flew down to rip off the thorns covering her body and bring her back to the ship as the smoke spread in front of Zyra. Only the Abyss, which is guarded by Cana, can avoid the danger of being affected.
Jeno hugged Zyra tightly, and the crystal armor was not yet punctured by the thorns on her body. He spread his wings and flew towards the Abyss, and in the thick smoke, the pale strips of material twisted into a cone one by one, quickly hardening into sharp bone spurs, and firing indiscriminately in all directions!
Suddenly, the bone spurs that emerged from the smoke shot Jeno impartially, but it was the Heavenly Abyss that perfectly avoided the first salvo.
With his wings torn apart, he flipped up and down, and it wasn't until he regained his wings that he stopped the decline.
Bone spurs are flying, and Sindra also has to stop the energy pouring and use telekinesis to grab the bone spurs instead, allowing Jano to return safely with Zyra.
Jeno returned to the boat and lowered Zyra, his face sinking like water.
Kogas can't help but be extremely strong in vitality and very high in intelligence.
A void monster was able to change the structure of its body in a short period of time after being attacked, releasing thick smoke, threatening its opponent while protecting itself, and then converting the matter in its body into bone spurs to launch a counterattack.
Although the bone spurs did not work, the forced weakening of the firepower gave Kogas a chance to breathe, and a respite would be infinitely magnified in the hands of such a clever Kogas.
Although he couldn't see the situation in the smoke clearly, Jeno could predict that this hasty sneak attack would most likely not kill Kogas, but only wound it.
The next question is how badly it hurts.
No more bone spurs were shooting out of the smoke, and Jeno told everyone to stop attacking.
Sindra withdrew her sore arms, and although she only needed to make small movements with her hands to activate each orb, launching so many orbs in a short period of time also made her feel like the orchestra had just finished playing a symphony, making her arms sore and sore as she didn't like to move.
"Are you dead? It's time to get the bounty. ”
Sarah spun the hot twin guns in her hands, put the muzzle of the guns to her mouth and blew softly. Although her original flintlock pistol had been replaced with a Sacred Stone Twin Gun that did not emit smoke without reloading, she was still used to blowing on the overheated muzzle after firing.
And Ryze, who has fought to the death with the creatures of the Void, truly understands how terrible they are. Arcane energy was still surging between his hands, so that he could strike immediately. He didn't think that was the end of it.
Jeno and Reze glanced at each other, and they soon realized that they were in the same boat. And Sarah, a woman who knows little about the void, is a little too optimistic. It's normal, because she's a mortal in the flesh, so it's hard to sense the imminent movement under the smoke of gunpowder. In her ordinary cognition, there should not be some kind of biological energy to survive this level of magic bombardment.
All eyes were fixed on the source of the smoke until Jana blew them away and the bombardment was revealed.
Shattered limbs and carapaces littered the ground, disgusting slime dripping and smoke emitting as it dissolved. At a cursory glance, the pieces could be roughly pieced together into the shape of a Kogas.
Is it just dead?
Beneath the corpses lay a deep cavern that slanted into the depths of the ground, significantly smaller in diameter than Kogas's, and some of the pale contents dripping onto the walls of the cavern, boiling and twisting with tiny tentacles.
"That's what happened!" Zyra stared at the dark cavern, her eyes cracking.
After knowing that his carapace could not resist the magic bombardment, Kogas recreated a pair of dark condensation armor in his body, turning into a slightly smaller Kogath. Then the golden cicada decisively shed its shell, and with the protection of the double shell, it quickly dug into the ground with its newborn hook and forelimbs, and burrowed deep underground to avoid the bombardment of magic.
It dares to do so because of the undifferentiated contents of its body. These contents are actually a combination of dissolved flesh or organic matter and void energy, and are very malleable. And the lost part, it can quickly eat back and turn into a huge monster again.
"What to do? Want to go in? Sarah frowned.
Now, everyone knows that Kogas has escaped.
