Act Twenty-Seven: The Soul Diamond
The giant blighted beast raised its claws, almost half a man's height, and slapped them down, and Brando ducked away. The wind from the dead branches swept over his head like a knife, striking a shale rock, and pumping the rock twenty or thirty meters away with a 'boom'.
Brando watched the rock collide in the air and change direction three times, and finally snapped into a pile of sharp rocks, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this power was too terrifying. If a person is hit like this, the bones of the whole body will be shattered by the impact that cannot be absorbed, the broken bones will pierce into the internal organs, and the internal organs will also be squeezed and deformed and broken, and cause a large amount of internal bleeding on the surface of the body - to put it simply, it is an instant kill.
The strength of the 8.9 energy levels of the elite blighted beast has tended to the peak of monsters within level 20, and in Brando's memory, there is really no class at this level that can match it in terms of strength except for berserkers and dwarven iron guards.
However, he didn't intend to go head-to-head with it, he asked Freya to cover him from the side, and then with the advantage of dexterity, he rolled in and slashed the left foot of the branch with the thorn of light - the huge bush monster was almost five meters tall, and its claws were more than three meters long, and its attack range was extremely wide, but it lowered its head, only to find it difficult to attack Brando under it.
Brando slashed with his sword, and the bright purifying fire only left a burning mark on the opponent's calf, which made him sweat coldly-the elite withered beast's physique is high, and its own toughness and resistance will not be low, but it will definitely not be so high. This shows that there is still a zài power suppressed between him and this monster.,This is a setting in the Amber Sword.,I didn't expect the same zài here.。
Still, the sword hurt so much that the huge withered beast raised its head and let out a long roar, a buzzing sound that made the nearby weeds tremble.
Brando felt a tightness in his chest, and Freya, who was not far away, couldn't bear to cough up blood directly. Roar of Awe-inspiring - the effect isn't so noticeable in the game, is it because their level is too low? Brando only felt that his internal organs were about to shift, and the number on his retina showed that some of his organs had been damaged in varying degrees.
"Brando!" The voice of the merchant lady came from not far away.
Brando looked back and saw that she had already tied the rope and secured the hook. He couldn't help but feel relieved, Roman was still reliable at the critical moment, calm in case of major events, she did have the potential to become a businessman.
He looked in the other direction, and the blighted beast hatchlings were very close; It's time to retreat, only a few seconds.
"Freya." He immediately shouted.
"I'm fine, ahem." The pony-tailed girl stubbornly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, picked up her sword, and put on a defensive posture again.
"Last blow, you cover me to withdraw from its attack circle-"
Freya nodded, sword in both hands, and thrust from the flank with a low snort as she did in training. The giant bush monster was about to lift its foot to step on Brando, but now it had to keep an eye on the other side - it was difficult for it to understand which side was more tricky, but from the animal's instincts, Freya looked a little more imposing.
It immediately unfurled its branches and shot countless spikes at Freya with a 'brush'.
The future Valkyrie Debrando's reminder had been on guard against this move, and she immediately used her hands to protect her head and chest and other important parts. Although the spikes still hit her and flew backwards and hit the rocks on the side, and blood immediately oozing from top to bottom, she gritted her teeth and felt some relief in her heart—at least it bought Brando time.
Brando didn't have time to care about Freya's injuries, as soon as he left the bush beast's attack range, he half-crouched, raised the silver ring in his right hand and aimed at the opponent's injured left foot.
“Oss!”
The air was suffocated, and the explosive wind pressure hit the left leg of the elite blighted beast with a bang, and immediately sawdust flew in a row, and it burst open even half of its body, and the broken wooden branches and leaves were thrown far away like scattered flowers of the heavenly maiden. No matter how high its defense is, this monster can't withstand the charged blow of 20Oz power, and after losing its entire left half, its entire body loses its center of gravity and falls backwards.
Brando immediately unleashed his charge skills, and before the behemoth could fall, a fish leap snatched under it - he knew that the thing wasn't dead yet, and the elite blighted beast had 42 lives, which was not as good as a gargoyle, but not far off. He lifted the thorn of light upward, only to hear a soft click, and the sword in his hand plunged into the other's neck.
The elite blighted beast and tried to resist, but Brando twisted his sword, and a bright silver flame shot out from its blade - the bush beast finally hung its head feebly, and its life was exhausted. The Purifying Fire lost the suppression of its vitality and tenacity, and in an instant, it rose to the ground, turning it into a raging mass of fire.
Then countless golden lights flew up from the huge ball of fire and merged into Brando's body-
17 experience.
He suddenly felt a chill in his palm, and subconsciously spread out his palm, and found that a puff of black smoke came out of the bush beast and concentrated in his palm, and the smoke gradually solidified, forming a cold black crystal.
Soul Crystal!
Unexpectedly, this thing turned out to be here, Brando's heart was shocked, and then there was a burst of surprise. Soul power is the purest energy in the world, and it is not only used by the necromancers of Madara, but also by wizards of other schools of thought - in the game, soul crystals can be converted into experience for the characters themselves through a ritual, and they can also activate some items and recharge some magical equipment.
For example, the Ring of the Wind Queen.
This soul crystal has at least 30 points of experience depending on the size and capacity, which is enough to charge the Queen's Ring once and save money, which makes Brando dislike? He had thought that this time he had used the Ring of the Wind Queens in advance because of unexpected circumstances, and he had to find a safe place to hide for three hours before continuing to move forward, and he would not dare to run around in this valley without the Ring of the Wind Queens.
But in any case, three hours were wasted.
But I didn't expect that there would be a turnaround in the end.
However, he put away his sword and looked back, and was shocked to find that the nearest blighted beast hatchling had already climbed the platform. At this time, he and Freya were exhausted, but they couldn't withstand another fierce fight, and they were fine, but if they were entangled, they would be in trouble.
On the other side, Freya, who was covered in wounds, was relieved to see that Brando had killed the huge bush monster, but at this moment, she couldn't help but lift her heart again when she saw those thorny monsters appear on the other side of the rock platform. The girl frowned and was about to struggle to stand up, but when she saw Brando striding over, she picked her up and picked her up without giving her a chance to object, and ran to Roman's side.
"Ahh
"Put, put me down—"
This future Valkyrie is now just a girl in the country of Butch with a hot face, she struggled for a moment Brando but didn't listen to her, she could only turn to the side to turn her face red to the root of her ears and quietly let the other party hold her.
Running down the cliff, Roman had already climbed up. The future merchant lady was not a timid girl, but Brando had no doubt that she would climb down alone if she and Freya couldn't get up.
More and more blighted beasts had already climbed up, and he had a few seconds left at most.
He put the rope around Freya, and then around his waist, he felt the girl in his arms suddenly tense his body, but he couldn't care about it so much, fortunately, the experience was enough for him to level up, and the mercenary was promoted to level 3, and the strength was 2.5 energy levels, which was enough to support him to drag two people up with one hand.
It was almost a moment of spur when a blighted beast hatchling even jumped up and grabbed his foot, but Brando reacted faster and stabbed him straight down, sweeping him back into the mob pile.
The three of them climbed to the top of the cliff and breathed a sigh of relief. Brando saw that the bush monsters below were clutching the rope in the same way and trying to climb up, but he was not polite, and directly cut the rope with a sword to let them fall back. Anyway, there are still a lot of ropes, as long as the hooks are preserved.
Brando knew that this cliff stretched for thousands of meters, and if these servants of the Golden Demon Tree wanted to continue to trouble him, they would have to go around to another valley, and he still had time for the time being, so at this moment, he finally couldn't help but sit down and let out a long breath.
"Well done!" He couldn't help but give Roman a thumbs up, Miss Merchant's watch was really good, that Brando really picked up a treasure.
"Really? My aunt often said this, little Roman, you are the most capable. ”
Miss Merchant's heart couldn't help but straighten her small chest, a little proud, but immediately her concerned gaze fell on Freya. Knowing that she was concerned about her best friend's injury, Brando replied, "Don't worry, it's just a skin injury, and you'll find a safe place to wash and bandage it later." ”
Freya was still blushing and didn't be embarrassed to answer.
But at this moment, Brando finally relieved his breath, he looked at the future Valkyrie, and couldn't help but feel a little angry. He had wondered how the future Valkyrie had survived this terrible war, because of those precious qualities of strength and calmness?
Freya did give him such an impression in the past, although it was simpler, but it had a calmness that ordinary people could not have. Maybe she came here for another reason, but the fact that she didn't let go of the backpack before still made Brando dissatisfied. Freya is too stubborn, perhaps it is this stubbornness that has developed her strong personality, but this is not a good thing on the battlefield.
"Why are you here?" But after all, it was a companion, and Brando didn't want to break her heart. He thought for a moment, but asked in a soft tone.
Freya was silent for a moment, and took off a ring from her hand: "It's the captain's ring, you go to Fort Rieden to report the news, and Uncle asked me to bring this to you." ”
Brando slapped his forehead. It's not that he forgot this stubble, in fact, he knew that it was unlikely that he would go to Fort Rieden to be valued by the other party, Freya and these militiamen didn't know, and veterans like Madden didn't understand? The aristocracy of Riedenburg would not have been able to pay attention to the defense in the direction of Buch, and it would not have led to the situation it is today.
A large part of the reason he went to Riddenburg was because of Roman's aunt, but he didn't expect Madden to be moved by his behavior and actually send the seal ring over. This is also his negligence, he expected that he should directly sue the other party for refusal.
After all, this ring is not small for refugees.
"You asked for it, didn't you?" But Brando thought about it again, and decided that the old soldier's personality should not allow Freya to die, despite the importance of the Ring.
The girl straightened her ponytail and nodded.
"Why bother."
"Brando, you're not from Buche, what excuse do I have to escape? I'm the captain of the third squad, so naturally I have to lead by example. Freya looked up and replied.
"What's in that backpack?"
The future Valkyrie lowered her head and hugged her backpack, but hesitated for a moment.
