Chapter 221: Meeting with the Apostles (Part II)
The tentacle sledgehammer was thrown towards this side with a powerful momentum, and it was obviously unwise to make a hard connection, and it was extremely difficult to dodge it. But the difficulty does not mean that there is no way, at least before coming here, Nia and the others have already thought of the countermeasures at this time.
In fact, not only for this skill of Lotus, but also for everything she had seen in the game, Nia consulted with the mercenaries. Of course, this is based on the fact that it is documented in the literature.
"Attention, everybody, hammer the defense." With a smile on her face, Nia shouted at the mercenaries.
Quickly took out the ice-blue potion from his waist, and without hesitation, the mercenaries threw the medicine vial in their hands in the direction where the tentacles flung it.
The vial smashed to pieces on the ground, and the powder spread out. Almost instantly, the ice powder formed a thick ice mist in this place, almost condensing into substance.
If it's just ice mist, it obviously can't stop the menacing octopus sledgehammer, but this is just a foreshadowing for the next spell.
Nia pointed her staff forward, and five walls of ice lined up in the mist. Later, Starna's spell was completed, and a slightly thicker wall of ice appeared behind the five walls that Nia had released. With the incomparably rich ice elemental amplification nearby, the thickness of the six ice walls was beyond the usual level.
Immediately afterward, a magic scroll appeared in the hands of Nia and Sitana. As the scroll unfolded, two large walls of ice twice as thick as the one released by Sitana appeared, which were third-order advanced ice wall magic scrolls.
Seeing the scroll in her hand dissipate into nothingness after being spread out, Nia only felt a pain in her flesh.
In the continent of Arad, the difficulty of crafting magic scrolls increases dramatically as the level of the magic sealed within them increases. For example, it is dozens of times more difficult to craft a second-order magic scroll than a first-order magic scroll. Because of this, high-level magic scrolls often have an unusually high price. For example, for the average merchant or minor nobleman, it is already very rare to be able to carry a second-order shield scroll with him.
Originally, Nia didn't have much hope when she came up with this idea, after all, compared to various elemental shields, the ice wall skill is not an excellent self-defense skill. As a result, the average mage rarely thinks of it when making scrolls. But what was surprising was that after listening to it, Sitana immediately found a full eight ice wall scrolls from her spatial ring.
Thinking of the million-dollar crystal card that she lent herself without even blinking an eye some time ago, Nia just wanted to say: Sure enough, rich people can really be willful.
Anyway, is it really good to be cranky like this when you're fighting? After complaining a little about herself, Nia put her mind back on the fight.
The huge octopus sledgehammer slammed into the ice wall, and the few ice walls in front of it immediately shattered. After a burst of roars, the octopus sledgehammer finally shattered the seven ice walls in front of it, but its own entrained power was also consumed.
Just when Nia thought that Lotus's attack had been successfully blocked by the two, the tentacles in the swing turned a blood-red color. This means that Lotus actually mixed his own blood in this attack.
The blood-red tentacle sledgehammer picked up speed again, and slammed into the final ice wall, and with a snap, the third-order high-grade ice wall was easily smashed to pieces as if it was made of inferior glass. At this point, the tentacle sledgehammer finally broke through the obstacle in front of it and threw it in the direction where the mercenaries were originally standing.
It's just that with the few seconds gained by the previous ice walls, most of the mercenaries have already run out of the range of the attack. At this time, the only ones who remained in the attack range were Nia and Starna.
Holding Sitana standing beside her, Nia left the ground with a single jump. However, doing so in a slightly cramped temple doesn't solve the problem, and Lotus can hit the two with only a slight change, which is exactly what the aforementioned dodge difficulty is.
At this time, the mercenaries who had already run out of the attack range of Lotus were looking over here, sweating tightly for the two of them. When making arrangements before, although Nia had signaled that everyone was at ease, the mercenaries couldn't think of any way to avoid it now.
Staring at the approaching octopus sledgehammer, Nia calculated the distance with all her might. It wasn't until she was less than five meters old that Nia used teleportation to leave her original position. The sledgehammer swept past where Nia had stood, and the two of them were in front of the tentacles.
A feeling of dizziness suddenly came, and the two people who were supposed to appear in mid-air appeared on the ground. With a person in tow, although Nia is still able to teleport today, her grasp of the accuracy of the landing point will drop a lot. That's why she needs to jump into mid-air before teleporting.
After the attack was dodged, Lotus visibly became a little more sluggish. For it at the moment, using such an attack is still quite burdensome.
At this time, the mercenaries who had left before also returned to the battle. Unlike before, each mercenary carries a cylinder about a meter long on his shoulder.
These are cannonball launchers removed from the Dornier airship, and after Nia's proposal and Amy's modifications, they are now able to be used on their own. In other words, it is more appropriate to call these artillery launchers capable of firing frost bombs bazookas.
After all, the number of cannonballs is limited, and because of the large number of GBL cultists inside the temple, these bazookas were placed at the entrance of the temple. Now there is only one big octopus Lotus left to fight, and this 'big killer' has finally been moved.
Far enough, ice-blue cannonballs were fired from the 'bazookas' on the mercenaries' shoulders. Although Lotus was aware of the impending crisis, the tentacles of his defense could not stop all the shells, and some of them landed on the building where he was hiding.
The frost bomb exploded above the building where Lotus was hiding, scattering dense ice cubes in all directions, and the GBL cultists hiding behind Lotus were immediately affected.
Not only that, but the building where Lotus was hiding was only of ordinary material, and although it did not collapse immediately after being hit, it was covered with frost.
But that wasn't the end of it, as a circular magic circle quickly formed from beneath the building, and then a pillar of fire rushed to the roof of the building.
Extremely cold and then extremely hot, under this strong temperature difference, the building where Lotus was hiding was shattered into pieces by the flames, revealing the real body of Lotus hidden inside.
