Chapter 1356: Valley of Nightmares (III.)

Fawkes had no intention of killing the Nightmare Behemoth, and raised his staff to shoot a yellow ray, and where the light hit, the mud everywhere instantly turned to rock.

First using "fossils into mud" to create a trap to trap the nightmare beast, and then "turning mud into stone" to strengthen the mud into a rock shackle, Fawkes is satisfied with the progress of the hunt that is exactly what he expected, and is about to force the nightmare beast to succumb, when suddenly a violent tremor is heard from under his feet.

Fawkes's face changed slightly, and he immediately realized that the underground steam was erupting again, but the ravines that had been used for deflation had been bridged by the rock formations shaped by "turning mud into stone", and the hot steam generated by the geothermal heat had nowhere to escape, and the pressure was accumulating, all of which were squeezed towards the most fragile surface structure, that is, the fall of the Nightmare Behemoth.

The steam of high temperature and pressure rushed up like a fountain, and the nightmare beast's ass bore the brunt, and the severe pain caused by the burn caused it to let out a long cry of sorrow, and desperately climbed upwards under the urge to survive. The high-pressure steam from the ground wreaked a heavy blow to the beast's "chrysanthemum" and also provided a strong boost, and the rock crackled and shattered, and the nightmare beast broke free from the stone prison and climbed up.

Fawkes took this turn of events in stride, pulling out a bronze warhammer model as small as a thumb from his spellcasting kit, and calmly gesticulating and chanting incantations in a low voice.

As the spell was completed, Fawkes's skin took on a bronze-like sheen and texture, and his body rapidly expanded, eventually turning into a bronze giant that stood 16 feet tall.

The School of Change's 7-Ring Arcane "Body of War" has completely changed Fawkes's body structure, transforming him from a flesh and blood body into a construct, to be precise, a sturdy and powerful "Trap Titan" like a moving bronze fortress!

Transformed into a "Trap Titan" form, Fawkes transforms from a fragile caster to an Iron Warrior as powerful as a dragon, and his construct's properties make him immune to all psychic effects, as well as toxins, sleep, paralysis, shock, illness, internal injuries, fatigue, exhaustion, attribute and energy drain, instant death, and necromancy-based spell effects.

The "Fat Fox Staff" forged from stainless steel in Fawkes's hand also increased ten times in size with his own body, becoming a heavy murder weapon as thick as a church pillar!

No sooner had the nightmare beast escaped the trap than it ran into the iron giant, shrunk its neck in surprise, and opened its mouth to spew out a large cloud of green poison.

However, this was useless, and the Titan strode out of the area shrouded in Death Cloud, his hands holding his iron staff aloft and slamming into the head of the Nightmare Behemoth.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound in the poisonous cloud, and the nightmare beast staggered and took a step back, a shocking wound open on the top of its head, and blood dripping down. At the same time, the Titan of the Mechanism was also knocked by the beast, and two deep scars were torn open on his chest by the beast's fangs.

This two-way collision showed that the Nightmare Behemoth was slightly more powerful than the Trap Titan, and the Trap Titan's initiative didn't take advantage of it.

However, this is not a situation that the nightmare behemoth is happy to accept. It was hit on the head with a rod and its skull, and the dizziness and severe pain made it feel in a trance, but what did it get? That's right, the bronze giant that the fat mage turned into was injured by its fangs, but the other party did not bleed or even feel the slightest pain, unless the core device of the structure was destroyed, no matter how severe the external injury was, it would not affect its combat effectiveness.

Sensing that the hand-to-hand combat was not in its favor, the Nightmare Behemoth wisely chose to hold back for the time being, and climbed a high slope, snarling condescendingly, as a fireball blasted into the Mechanism Titan, which was slowly climbing the hill.

Fawkes transformed into a Trap Titan and gained a body of steel and strength, but he also had to bear two negative effects, the first is that his agility is greatly reduced, he can't run and jump as freely as before, and more troublesomely, he loses his ability to cast spells.

Fawkes crossed his arms in front of him, parrying the fireballs flying from the opposite side, and the Titan staggered back in the explosion, showing obvious traces of melting on his upper body.

A smug roar came from the hillside, and the nightmare beast, believing that it had found a way to deal with the hulking giant, took a deep breath and prepared to cast its spell again. Possessing natural magical powers, the beast is capable of casting a variety of powerful and destructive spells, including fireballs, lightning beams, chain lightning and dissociation, and while each spell can be used up to twice a day, it has the confidence to blast the Trap Titan into a pile of parts before it runs out of mana.

Disarming the transformation and restoring the mage form was a viable option, but Fawkes didn't do that. Transforming into a "Mechanism Titan" is one of his most relied on tactics, and he already knows its strengths and weaknesses, and of course knows how to avoid weaknesses.

In fact, he created the Mercury Golem "Lolita" to make up for the weaknesses exposed by the Trap Titans against magic.

After transforming into a Trap Titan, Fawkes lost his ability to speak, but fortunately, "Lolita", who had received the "Constructing Body Enlightenment Technique", was very smart, and when she saw that her master was in a bad situation, she took the initiative to rush over, jumped onto the Trap Titan, and quickly stretched her body and turned into a layer of mercury film attached to the surface of the Trap Titan's body.

When the nightmare beast saw this scene, a trace of surprise appeared in its scarlet eyes, how could that bronze giant conjure up a silver skin in the blink of an eye?

After a brief hesitation, the Nightmare Behemoth opened its mouth and spewed a beam of lightning at the Mechanism Titan. The lightning touched the silver film on the surface of the opponent's body and immediately disappeared without a trace, without causing the slightest damage.

Of course, the combination of the Trap Titan and the Mercury Golem is not as simple as changing the color of the body surface, judging from the close relationship between the two, it seems that it can be regarded as a whole, and any spell attack from the outside world against the Trap Titan will first hit the outer membrane formed by the Mercury Golem; However, the mercury golem does not really merge with the Trap Titan, and maintains a relatively independent relationship physically, just as the mistletoe parasitism tightly wrapped around the tall tree cannot be considered to be the branches and leaves of the tree, so the Mercury Golem still retains the characteristic of "immunity to magic", which is equivalent to putting on a protective suit of immunity to magic for the Trap Titan.

The Titan of the Mechanism lifted his iron staff up the hillside, his slow but unwavering steps approaching the Nightmare Behemoth.

The Nightmare Behemoth's eyes showed suspicion, and it opened its mouth to spew out a more powerful "chain of lightning", but the result was still ineffective. Just as the beast was stunned by the successive failures of magic, the Titan of the Mechanism on the opposite side suddenly waved its arm and shook off the outer membrane of mercury attached to its body.

Swish! The mercury golem turned into a long silver rainbow and shot at the nightmare beast, burrowing into its throat before it could close its mouth, and quickly swam down its throat towards its belly.
