Act 118 The Decisive Battle (Third Shift, Finishing the Job)
Act 118 Decisive Battle (Third Shift, Finish Finish)
When Brando and Akane arrived, they saw Medisa holding one hand on her shoulder. There, blood had soaked through the silver armor, staining the snow-white robes outside. She frowned and confronted the giant monster in front of her, and Conrad was long gone.
And the earth god made Ekmen look a little abnormal at this time - the original gray-yellow carapace and cuticle on its body had all cracked open at this moment, and a dark red light was exposed underneath, as if lava was flowing slowly. If this thing used to look like a large, earthy rock sculpture, it now looks a bit like granite that has not yet cooled and solidified.
Brando was shocked when he saw Ekmen in this state, this is the state of God's blood rampage. Even in the immortal evolution stage, the god envoy after the rampage has a step back, which is equivalent to saying that after this battle, this thing will never completely degenerate into a juvenile body, what is the situation?
It stands to reason that if there is no threat to life, the oracle will never take the initiative to start the rampage. This thing is like the berserk state of many bosses, and it will only take effect when the last 30% of life is undertaken.
His gaze followed the monster's arm again, and he saw a deep wound in Ekmen's left rib that was visible to the bone. As soon as Brando looked at the shape of the wound, he guessed that the guy must have taken a thousand blows from Metisa. However, this is not an explanation for his problem, in the case of Ekmen's life tenacity, let alone being grazed by a thousand troops. Even a head-on hit is estimated to not be able to hit 1/10 of the life, and it is not enough to start the rage.
Then there is only one possibility left, which is to receive the order and take the initiative to enter the rampage.
Brando turned his head just in time to see Medisa looking at him apologetically with silver eyes, "I'm sorry, my lord. The elven princess gritted her teeth and whispered, "I let Conrad run away." ”
Brando screamed in shame, which was actually his negligence. At that time, he and Akane had no idea that the Earth God would make Ekmen attack each other, because in his opinion, this thing was formed by some kind of insect contaminated by the blood of the gods, and it stands to reason that there should be no such intelligence. But he didn't expect that Conrad could make decisions for it as long as he had the 'sheath' in his hands.
"It's not your fault." The three of them stood together and confronted the rampaging Earth Divine Envoy. At the same time, Brando asked, "What just happened." ”
"The man tried to lure me into a trap, but I saw through it. Then he summoned the monster and tried to escape under the cover of the monster......" Medisa covered her mouth and coughed, her hands covered with blood: "Ahem, I tried to stop them with a thousand blows...... I didn't expect this monster to suddenly change in the middle of the way and break free from my gravity constraints......"
"That's how the injury came from?"
Medisa nodded.
"Does it matter?" Brando frowned, and the strength of the Earth God Envoy after the rampage increased by 20%. If Medisa had been hit head-on, it would have been easy for her injuries.
"It's okay, it's just rubbed, ahem......" Princess Silver Elf replied, "but it seems to have been infiltrated by the power of the elements, and it hurt her lungs." ”
Is this called okay? Brando sweated wildly, but he also thought that Métisa was in fact a spirit state, and that the so-called trauma was just an outward manifestation of the shock of the soul fire. It's true that it's not really like a human being, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced if you are injured a little.
"What now?" Akane asked from the side.
"Only a temporary change of plans," Brando replied staring at the motionless Earth Emissary, a little puzzled why Conrad was in such a hurry to break away from the three of them. He even did not hesitate to consume the precious blood of the gods, so that the divine envoys entered a state of rage. "Akane, you and Médisa go after the man, don't let him mess with our set-up—leave it to me as for this."
"You?" The red-haired girl turned her head, a hint of doubt flashing in her flaming red eyes.
"Your Excellency?" Medisa was also stunned. What kind of strength is Brando, as a summon, she naturally knows that a warrior of the silver beginner level, even if he has a lot of combat experience, he can't be the opponent of a terrifying monster with a civilized element. Even a delay seems unlikely.
"Have you forgotten my true abilities, Miss Métisa?" Brando replied in his heart.
"Do you mean the Traveling Mage, Lord Lord?" The Silver Elf Princess also responded in her heart.
Brando nodded.
"I'm with you," Akane replied suddenly, her halberd clenched as she stared at the huge monster in front of her—though it was as if the other party was dead, motionless and unable to feel a breath. But all three people present understood that as soon as they moved, the other party would immediately burst out and attack: "If you die, Medisa and I are not sure to deal with this monster." To protect the rest of the Gray Wolf Mercenary Regiment, Mr. Lord, your life is mine-"
Brando was stunned.
"Miss Akane is right, my lord," replied Metisa, and she persuaded softly, "as long as there is no monster, even if I am alone." Conrad wasn't my opponent either—the Wizard Hunter, and I fought many of the Minr's in the way of that. ”
"Well," the young man knew that this was not the time for an argument, and that he was more sure of it with Akane's help. He pulled out the second card of the day from his bosom: "Then go your separate ways." ”
With that saying this, Brando showed the card.
Silver Pony
(Legendary Radiance V, white)
Mana 10
[Treasure - Strange Object/Artifact Creature, Level 7 Constructed Creature]
The Silver Pony has the ability to float.
'Mithril Forge-'
As soon as the Destiny Card appeared in the air, it immediately formed a circle on the ground in the forest. The white light flickered in the circle, and a long neighing of a war horse was heard from within.
And his actions immediately provoked the Earth Divine Envoy Ekmen to counterattack - Conrad was not stupid, he was afraid that this brainless insect envoy would be diverted by the opponent's tactics of striking at the beginning, so he simply let it stand by on the spot, and if anyone was ready to bypass it to pursue him, then Ekmen would be authorized to attack.
And magic happens to be one of those conditions.
It was only as soon as it moved, and Akane and Médisa met it left and right. The halberd and spear stood together, and the 'click' blocked the monster's attack. Although the two girls only have the strength of the golden downstream, Akane is also a god and resonates with the thunder element, and Metisha is a ghost body, and she has already understood the soul element, and the two elements are intertwined - to withstand Ekmen's blow.
Even so, the two of them snorted and took three or four steps back before they stabilized their figures.
At this time, the white light had disappeared in front of Brando, and the metal light of his whole body was circulating, and the Mithril Warhorse with wings had already strode out of the circle. Its ruby-carved eyes glanced at Brando, then immediately bowed its head deferentially.
The red-haired girl was slightly stunned when she saw this, but she immediately understood what Brando meant.
"Akane, get on the horse," the young man ordered, "Metissa, cover us—"
The Earth Divine Envoy was trying to attack further. But she has been forced back by the silver elf princess who has been ordered to shoot back with a spirit spear, although Metissa's skill has a long cooldown, but her attack power is also terrifyingly high, even Ikemon is unwilling to withstand the attack of this humanoid self-propelled cannon.
But as soon as it dodged it, Akane took the opportunity to turn over and get on her horse. Then she reached out to Brando, and dragged the latter up, and the two rode together, making her feel slightly embarrassed, but the girl exhaled and quickly calmed down.
"Going around its back, this brainless thing is now obeying orders. Gotta get his idea first," Brando whispered behind her back, and then he commanded Metisa, "Stay put, Metisa, wait until we're gone—you act"
"I understand." Medisa nodded.
By this time, Akane had already driven forward, and the Mithril War Horse took off into the air and flew directly over its head. Not only that, but she also took off the crossbow on her boots and shot an arrow downward.
Her actions immediately drew a counterattack from Ekmen.
The huge insect-like boss raised its head and roared, and with a backhand press, a rock spire more than twenty meters long stabbed out of thin air, chasing Akane and Brando.
Akane snorted coldly and continued to let the Mithril Warhorse climb. The rock pinnacles seemed to be following them, rising from the ground one after the other with a roar, each higher than the last, and the last almost pierced into the sky forty or fifty meters - the forest was silent, and from below, the dense stone pillars almost formed a giant stalagmite forest that was intertwined.
As soon as the earth god lifted his hand from the ground, the pillars immediately crumbled. It let out a low growl as it looked at the Mithril Warhorse as it flew farther and farther away. Then put your hands on the ground and melt into the dirt in an instant.
That's the last thing Medisa saw.
In fact, she had seen how this thing came out of the dirt and attacked Brando, so she knew that this guy was probably chasing after him again. She relieved herself, glanced around, remembered the direction in which Conrad had fled, and patted her fellow unicorn on the neck - letting it chase in that direction at full speed.
……
Naturally, Brando, who was in mid-air, saw such a scene.
He immediately asked Akane to lower his height, and the insect's head, though not very intelligent, at least kept its instinct in nature - it wouldn't always chase a prey that was destined to never catch up. So in the past, attracting monsters was a profound skill, and here, too.
He had to give it hope.
The Mithril Warhorse quickly lowered its height and slowed down under the control of the red-haired girl. But that didn't mean the two had let their guard down, instead, Brando was keeping a close eye on the ground around them.
"What are we going to do next?" Akane asked.
"Take this thing back," Brando replied in a whisper, "and it's better to go back to where we fought yesterday." According to the plan, Namenes and the others will come to our aid after they have dealt with those lizardmen. ”
"Can we make it this far?" She asked.
"It's a matter of skill and a little bit of luck."
Akane was silent, but she suddenly crossed the halberd and fired a shot in a certain direction. An arc of lightning immediately crossed a distance of tens of meters, hitting the ground between a few black pines.
With a loud bang, the three-person tall boss has broken through the ground.
"Don't leave the ground, walk in a zigzag with a circle," Brando immediately ordered, "Give me your crossbow—"
The red-haired girl nodded immediately.
The direction of the Mithril Warhorse changed, and a sharp rock had already grazed behind the two of them. Brando secretly wiped a cold sweat, thinking that it was good that Akane's reaction was fast enough, otherwise it was estimated that the two of them would fly out just now.
But he also knew that this dangerous game was just beginning.
