Chapter 119: The Sacrament of Drinking (Part II)
"Rest in peace—"
Roland's figure instantly appeared in front of the woman who was covered with cracks, and sent the blue fangs into her body with a cruel smile, a crack the size of a baby's palm on her left chest was directly pierced by a dagger, and even the teeth on the crack were directly shattered by Roland.
With the rotation of Roland's wrist, a bloody hole was dug out of the blue fang, and magma-like dark red blood burst out of her body, splashing Roland's body.
For the average person, this is already a serious enough injury to kill.
However, the Rift Girl, who had a piece of flesh cut off by Roland's blow, did not look seriously injured and dying.
She just screamed in pain, her hands stretched out weakly and panickedly, trying to push Roland away.
However, in her seemingly helpless movements, the cracks that densely covered her whole body opened at the same time, revealing sharp teeth and making a trembling sound of metal colliding.
If Roland was touched by her, there was no doubt that he would have been dug up a large piece of meat.
The bodies of these drinkers, who eat human flesh and drink human blood, have been completely alienated.
The Drinkers are more worthy of the name of a monster than the Whistlers of the Ring of the South Wind - their belief in Dusk is entirely reflected in the process of eating. And they have ingested an excess of the magic of chaos. The body has also changed dramatically.
One of the most typical changes is that they have lost their weakness as human beings.
Roland slid like a ghost under his feet, silently retreating backwards like a black ghost, lightly avoiding the passionate and sharp grappling of the rift girl.
Then, Roland immediately stepped hard, forcibly stopping his retreat, but instead dodged several attacks that had calculated the amount in advance.
With Roland's swordsmanship to match his movements, if he were attacking people and not these drinkers. He could easily walk and intersperse and slip them to death.
But that presupposes that Roland's effective attacks can cause the Drinker to attrition.
…… No way. The blue fangs still couldn't hurt them.
Roland frowned slightly.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the sharpness of the Blue Fang, it's a matter of size.
The overly slender and small capture range is a good advantage against small and medium-sized enemies, but it is ridiculously weak for enemies who are not afraid of weak point attacks.
Just like a dragon slayer would definitely use a crossbow bolt the thickness of an adult's thigh with a bed crossbow to pierce the wurm's wings first. You can't use a dagger to pierce a wurm's heart.
Although Roland's pale fangs are Roland's most convenient weapon, when facing a drinker who has no weaknesses, he still takes out this poor weapon with small attack power, which can only be said to be deliberately seeking abuse.
In such a narrow place with dense enemies, Claude's glory would be surprisingly useful.
The length of the blade of this staff sword is one meter three or four. The length of the blade is adjustable from thirty centimeters to one meter. The sheer toughness of the sword allowed Roland not to break through from confrontation or high-speed attacks, and the razor-sharp blade allowed Roland to easily slash these regenerating disgusting beings into shreds, completely erasing their resistance.
…… However, now in the crowd, Roland can't show it at all.
The Staff Sword is also a xenomorph weapon specially issued by cathars, and it was out of print in Roland's time, and it can only be obtained by killing the Priest of the Goddess of War above the bishop level before the plague revival. Even Roland never used it.
But Roland had no choice.
Roland's Carral sword is too poor in material. And the length of the Blue Fang is not enough for Roland to directly chop the enemy's body at a safe distance, let alone the dagger.
At this time, only the attack and capture of up to two meters after fully deploying the sword allowed Roland to kill this group of man-eating monsters with the fastest efficiency.
He hadn't forgotten. Marken was captured by the group and could have died at any moment.
And this group of diners who haven't even been fully converted are just so-called open-door monsters - they are not even door gods, they are just the first wave of monsters to enter the dungeon.
The biggest challenge in dealing with them is speed.
In the beginning, there were three mutant creatures - a blonde waiter, a rift woman, and a man with a ball on his head. After Roland enters the battle mode, the remaining scattered diners who have not yet mutated will mutate one after another at a very fast speed. Although the time varies somewhat, in general, it changes about every three seconds or so.
This test is the instantaneous explosion of the team.
If you can't get rid of all the people who aren't completely mutant in ten seconds, attack at the same time against six mutant creatures. It was difficult for a team of forty people to divide six defenders. In this case, the Raider team may be attrition before the first boss is met.
And for Roland. This difficulty is even more prominent.
Roland isn't one of the top Raiders in the Peace Council. With Roland's operations, he could only fight against up to four deviants at the same time.
Once the number of mutants exceeds four, Roland will definitely be injured even if he moves exquisitely. Once the injuries accumulate to a certain extent, Roland will inevitably have flaws.
At that time, Roland, who was not wearing armor, would be torn to shreds in an instant.
It's been nearly a second since Roland cut off the head of the blonde waiter with his blue fangs—
And Roland has almost completely been enveloped by these diners. Once they completely fenced Roland. Roland, who couldn't even move, could only be caught.
But the good thing is that these diners are only acting because of the tyranny and appetite in their hearts, and they are not controlled by someone.
At Roland's side, a middle-aged man whose eyes were almost completely stained with bright red and who was about to change suddenly smashed the head of another diner with a sudden and angry punch.
In the blink of an eye. In that direction, there was chaos.
Good opportunity –
Roland's eyes flashed.
He instantly pulled out his blue fangs, and with a sword sweep, he directly cut the throats of several people in front of him.
Seeing that he was about to use his sword momentum, two faint white lights suddenly appeared from the hilt of the sword.
Under the attack sword momentum bonus of [Continuous Attack], Roland's attack action seemed to be reset instantly, ignoring inertia, and slashed at the enemy behind him with a backhand faster than at the beginning.
As soon as his pale blue fangs pierced through his eye sockets, Roland seemed to have violated the laws of physics, completely ignoring the effects of inertia, and instantly drew his short sword, turning around to block a ferocious straight punch.
At the moment when the [Block] was completed, Roland took advantage of the bonus of the continuous attack that had not yet dissipated, and with a quick turn, the light blue arc of light spread out in a circle, cutting the diners around him in half.
- Sword Momentum. Arc Slash!
"Rest in peace—"
After revealing a distance of about a meter around Roland, Roland did not hesitate to immediately pray loudly.
After a short baptismal chant, the silver-gray points of light around him instantly condensed into a vague blade, rapidly spreading out in all directions.
These illusory and vague blades were like a fierce gust of wind that knocked back the diners around them several steps, but because they were neither the dead nor the undead, the wind did not cause much harm to them. There were only blood marks on the exposed skin.
But what Roland wants is just this distance-
Choke!
After a large empty circle appeared around him, Roland immediately grasped the staff sword behind him, and with a flick of his hand, the sharp blade instantly popped out of it.
Now, since Roland kicked the waiter away, the second second hasn't run out - (to be continued......)
