Chapter 12: Berserk
The history of the Tomb of the Wraithed can be traced back to about two hundred years ago, this catacomb, hidden beneath the Nordick Mountains, was once the resting place of the king of a small country, but was later desecrated and polluted by a mysterious necromancer using powerful magical powers, resulting in the entire tomb of the burial slaves turned into terrifying ghost monsters, the king's body was transformed into a dry mummy living corpse, and the evil necromancer ended up because of a bizarre mistake, In the course of a lich transformation ritual, he accidentally sealed himself into a sarcophagus in a burial chamber.
Since then, this silent place has completely become a dangerous dungeon area, attracting players to form adventurous teams to investigate and challenge.
As one of the three quest bosses in the Tomb of Wraiths, the Nightmare Gargoyle is the necromancer's magical creation, and the Cursed Blade is a deadly bait that lures ignorant adventurers and greedy tomb robbers to try to seize the black greatsword, and then is killed by the gargoyle sneak attack that lurks in the dome of the room, and gradually transforms into a new ghost wandering the corridors of the tomb over time.
The scene returns to the present-
After the unsuccessful sneak attack, the Nightmare Gargoyle distanced himself from Urs, and his angular gray-blue body turned to confront him, and Urs, who was holding the cursed blade, was also engrossed in the battle posture, and at the same time reminded the wolf-eared girl not far behind him: "Cast the Sanctuary Technique, Thea, protect yourself." ”
"Can't I intervene?" Xia asked rhetorically, holding the emblem in her hand.
"After all, gargoyles are not undead, and their magic resistance is strangely high." The young man replied, "Besides, I'm going to use that trick." ”
After speaking, his gaze glanced back slightly, and he saw that the white-robed wolf-eared girl really had an epiphany, her eyes widened, and after hesitating for two seconds, she nodded her head at him, and performed a priest magic called Sanctuary Magic on herself according to the requirements he instructed.
The Sanctuary is a 1-ring low-level priest spell that works by placing a transparent shield to protect the recipient, and the target creature protected by the spell cannot attack enemies outside the shield for the duration of the spell's effect, but his enemies also cannot damage him, unless the opponent has the ability to break the protective effect of the Sanctuary.
Thea successfully completed the prayer incantation, allowing the divine energy to form an invisible shield around her body.
The atmosphere of the scene became more and more tense. The two sapphire pupils in the Nightmare Gargoyle's eye sockets stared at the young man and the girl with an icy gaze for a few seconds, and suddenly spread their wings behind them and rose into the air, aiming at Urs's head again like a predatory falcon, and quickly swooped down.
Urs looked up at the constructed monster that bared its claws at him.
It's coming. He said to himself in his heart, and then his whole attention was completely focused on the opponent in front of him, and he was unusually skilled in channeling a violent and manic force from the depths of his soul.
Class Specialization (Barbarian) - Berserk (Intermediate): 2 times a day, enter Berserk, gain +4 Strength and +4 Constitution, and be immune to Fear, Chaos, and Hypnosis.
The fury burned like fire, and the desire to destroy and kill filled his heart and lungs in an instant, and the color of his eyes turned bloody red.
Gargoyles attack very quickly. The violent air flow rushed to his face, but he almost relied on his intuition in the years of battle in his previous life to catch the opponent's attack line, so he swung the cursed blade and slashed forward with a roar, and the heavy black giant sword immediately erupted like a hard object in an iron pot and slammed into one of the wings of the Nightmare Gargoyle, and actually violently flipped this leader-level construct-body monster in the air, and half of its body folded backwards like a kite with a broken string.
"Give me—come down!"
The black-haired young man's eyes were hideous, and his 19 points of power, which was already close to the limit of human beings, instantly soared to a terrifying 25 points through the blessing of the berserk state and the cursed blade, and the powerful brute force drove the giant sword in his hand and the gargoyle's body to fall to the ground with a bang.
The room was filled with smoke and dust, and half-broken stone bat's wings flew out with a whirl.
Urs let out a sigh of relief from his mouth like an enraged beast, his warlike eyes searched through the smoke and dust, and it didn't take long to find the gargoyle boss who had just chopped off most of his wings with a sword.
The Nightmare Gargoyle stood up from the floor with its arms propped up, its shattered half-wings flowing a blood-blue liquid from the fractured surface, dripping onto the ground in a crystalline line.
It stared blankly at Urs, opened its mouth for a second and let out a piercing scream, and as the smoke cleared, it raised its low-hanging steel claws and pounced on Urs, its teeth and claws looking fierce, but in reality it was a moribund struggle, for its wings, which were no longer intact, had caused it to lose the ability to fly.
Memories and experiences of a hundred battles are projected in the depths of my mind like a gray screen.
Urs knew that the most direct and effective way to deal with the Nightmare Gargoyle was to make it impossible to fly again. At this moment, he managed to do this, and any movement of the Nightmare Gargoyle on the ground seemed to his eyes like a slow-motion replay of his heart, and he could even conceive of the opponent's move in his mind in advance, after all, the various dungeons in the early stage of Castano's game had already been brushed countless times in the time he had teamed up and leveled up in his previous life.
His eyes widened, and he fearlessly charged at the attack, and once again, the blade of the Cursed Blade swept in front of his foe with an air-piercing slash that slashed through the Nightmare Gargoyle's waist and abdomen, sending it backwards and tumbling back to where it had been a second, and tumbling to the ground in a man-backed position, revealing all the flaws in his body.
With both hands slashing the giant sword like a door panel, the black-haired young man relentlessly chased after him, the muscles of his legs pushing his body to sprint and jump, trying to kill the opponent with a single blow of gravity slashing from top to bottom.
The Nightmare Gargoyle had a deep sword mark on its abdomen, and it fell to the ground, its sapphire eyes raised with its head to stare at Urs, whose feet were off the ground, and two strange blue rays of light suddenly released from his pupils and hit the latter straight at him.
Those two blue rays of light did not cause any damage, and Urs knew that this was the Nightmare Gargoyle's fighting skill, the Nightmare Ray, which could make the creatures hit by the rays be hypnotized immediately, as if they were haunted by nightmares, in endless fear, and fell into a state of chaos from which they could not extricate themselves.
The Nightmare Ray's immunity rate is very low, so low that many player squads in the game will be wiped out even after the Priest team members have been blessed with the Team Buff to Resist Fear and Calm the Mind.
There are countless rookie players who planted this hand in the early game, but unfortunately, although Urs's character level is not very high, the mid-level berserk specialty of his barbarian class happens to be directly immune to the three negative debuff effects of fear, chaos, and hypnosis when activated, so the nightmare gargoyle's dinosaur ray hits his body impartially, but it can't stop him from slashing the cursed blade in his hand towards the head of this constructed monster with a primal battle rage.
Immediately, I saw the black sword blade fall in mid-air, and the gray-blue body gargoylee boss panicked and wanted to enter a defensive stance, but before he could spread his bat-like demon wings in front of him, he was struck by the cursed blade in Urs's hand on the top of his head, and the stone skull cracked a gap visible to the naked eye, revealing a gear device that was crushed by the blade below.
