Chapter 81 The Gap in Strength
"Be careful!"
One success, but the next time it's not so easy.
The supporting ghoul devoured the weak, pitiful, helpless Bloody Worm in one gulp. As the smell disappeared, it immediately rushed towards Cream, who was still standing on the back of the corpse of the ghoul and had no time to come down.
With Arrow's reminder, Cream drew his dagger and leaped backwards, while Brad raised his shield and didn't hesitate to bump into the supporting ghoul.
But, maybe it's because of the several hits in a row, although Brad's shield was very stable at first. But this time he was in mid-air, and his strength was insufficient. After being hit by a corpse eater who was significantly much larger than himself, Brad fell backwards again.
"Woohoo......!"
Brad, who was lying on the ground, let out a breath and just wanted to get up, but suddenly found that his left hand, which was holding the shield, was trembling severely, as if it was out of strength.
"Hey! Come here! β
Cream saw the trembling of Brad's left hand and quickly shouted from the side to attract attention. The ghoul was fooled and immediately turned around and rushed at Cream. However, this thief was not a frontal warrior, and he was obviously panicked when he saw this terrible monster rushing towards him all at once, so he could only hurriedly raise the short sword in his hands.
Visibly, she quickly swung her staff, and the undead soldier reappeared in front of Cream, raising her rainbow sword to meet the ghoul's claw strike.
With a boom, the undead soldier's body shattered again under the claw, and Coco's face immediately turned pale, and he took out a bottle of magical aerosol from his bosom and threw it at his feet.
In the interval between Coco's regain his magic, Cream finally rolled to the side and escaped with the cover of the undead soldiers, while shouting at Arrow, "President! Treat! Cure Brad! β
Of course Iroult wanted to, but his healing aerosol was not a cure for pain and temporary detachment. Seeing that Brad is now trying to cover his left hand, trying to stop the trembling of his arm, he really can't do anything.
"Hold on! Hold on until Bled recovers! Coco, let your undead soldiers lure the ghouls away! β
Once the mana aerosol was fully inside Cocoa's body, the necromancer took a deep breath and swung his wand once more, and the undead soldier appeared for the third time, raising his iridescent sword and circling behind the corpse eater, raising his sword to slash at the opponent's tail vertebrae again.
The damage of the rainbow sword is naturally not enough, but it doesn't matter. The ghoul came to his senses as soon as he was in pain, but the undead soldier ran into the distance, drawing the ghoul as far away as possible.
Seeing that the other party was attracted away, Arrow hurriedly ran to Brad's side, took out a bottle of healing aerosol from his pocket and said, "How is it?" Does your body hurt somewhere, what hurts? β
Brad gritted his teeth and shook his head. He covered his left hand with all his might, desperately trying to restrain the tremor of his arm: "It's just...... Hemp, sour! But...... Feeling almost better...... It's almost ......"
The big man wasn't lying, the tremor in his arm was subsided, believing that he would soon be able to get back on his feet.
"Woohoo......!"
But at this time, Coco on the side suddenly sat down on the ground pale.
When I looked at it again, I saw that the undead soldier who had gone away was now pressed to the ground by the corpse eater, and with a slight force, the undead soldier immediately turned into powder and disappeared. This also means that the magic of cocoa has bottomed out. She took out a bottle of magic aerosol from her arms and smashed it at her feet, absorbing the magic twice in a row, Coco's body obviously needed some time to get used to. This time, the smoke was noticeably slower to penetrate the cocoa's skin.
"Damn ......!"
Cream jumped in front of Brad, raised the fanged dagger in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "The physical strength of these monsters ...... It's a bit too much! β
Over there, the corpse eater who had crushed the undead soldiers had already run over again.
In the distance, there were a large number of corpse eaters waiting there, as if they were completely aware of the outcome of the battle, and had no intention of coming to help.
The corpse eater was getting closer, and he could clearly see the terrifying light emanating from the two luminous organs. In the same way, the terrible sound of the claws scraping against the ground as they ran was like a fingernail scraping against a blackboard.
What is needed most at the moment is time, and Arrow gritted his teeth, pulled out a bottle of healing aerosol from his arms, and was about to throw it in the opposite direction that the corpse eater was running from.
The ghoul was not injured, and even if it was treated, it had no effect. However, the sound of glass smashing could have been delayed a little longer, really, only a little bit of time...... With just one last moment, Brad will be able to get back on his feet, and Coco's undead soldiers and skeleton dogs will be able to show their fighting power again!
All you need to do is ...... That little bit of time at the last minute......
"Every time, do you fight so hard?"
The sound of the strings plucking came from behind the crowd.
This sudden sound made the bottle that Arrow had planned to throw out.
He looked back and saw that Gu Liduo was gently playing with the lute in his arms with his fingers, and walked slowly past the crowd to the front of the line, blocking Brad's creamy face.
"President, if every battle needs to be so difficult...... Don't you think something could be wrong with your guild's business policy? β
At this point, the corpse eater had reached a distance of almost ten meters in front of the grain, and in less than a second, its sharp claws could tear apart any flesh that dared to stand in its way.
"Grains ......!"
Brad couldn't help but shout loudly.
But in the face of this murderous corpse eater, Gu Liduo glanced at Brad with a very gentle and relieved look. In the next moment, his fingers pressed the strings with great familiarity, and the sword of Lute was unsheathed, and the passionate battle song was also accompanied by the unsheath of the blade.
The sudden sound of music brought the corpse eater's movements to a halt for a moment. But in front of everyone's eyes, an even more incredible scene suddenly appeared!
I saw that the grain with the blade drawn was as if it were a different person, and his steps were as graceful as a dance, almost jumping past the corpse eater. By the time the sound reached an accented syllable, the thin, sharp blade had silently pierced into the back muscles of the corpse eater.
"Squeak ββ!!!"
"As a guild member of the Merfolk Song, I thought I might need to tell you solemnlyβ"
With a leisurely twist on the tune, Grain-Do's body drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and the blade of the sword stabbed unceremoniously through the corpse eater's mouth. With the rapid withdrawal of the blade, a bloody arrow also erupted from the corpse eater's mouth.
"As the leader of a guild, you definitely need to have a certain amount of strength, and be able to stand at the front of the team and lead everyone when you encounter danger."
After the blood arrow was sprayed, the corpse eater fell to the ground, lying on the ground and twitching twice before not moving. The bard, on the other hand, shook the blade of his sword calmly and fell lightly and skillfully. Perhaps coincidentally, or perhaps intentionally, his feet were firmly on the back of the ghoul, the blade of the sword unsheathed, and the music box stopped, but his fingers plucked the strings again.
"A president who can only settle accounts, only arrange tactics, only shout cheers in the back, let his members go first when in danger, and only hide in a safe place to throw bottles...... I'm sorry, but it might be ...... Hehe, not very competent. β
Arrow opened his mouth.
He was surprised.
On the one hand, he was surprised by the corpse of the ghoul on the ground. This kind of monster is a big headache for him, and he has to do everything he can to get rid of it...... For the bard, it was as easy to solve it as if it were dealing with a child. To be able to do this, does it prove the true strength of this grain many...... Maybe not inferior to Wolfe or Merlin?
The other thing that surprised him was the way the bard looked at him.
It was a very playful look, full of mockery, contempt, and play.
This kind of look has been seen countless times when Arrow was still Ariel. He didn't expect that even after he became Arrow, he would still be exposed to this kind of look.
"Ah, I'm sorry, please don't make the mistake of thinking that I mean to look down on the president."
Grains walked down from the corpse of the ghoul and smiled as he passed by Arrowβ
"I just think that in the future, this kind of thing that requires risking going down the mine, the president should try not to get involved. It's better to write in the guild, settle accounts, and don't take risks. After all...... Taking risks is not for weaklings like you. β
Arrow lowered his head.
He didn't say anything after Gu Liduo's words were over.
And it's not just that the bard's words are true, but that as a guild leader, there's no need for me to participate in these battles.
But, even though Iero tried to restrain his heartbeat, tried to tell himself...... It's okay, everything is fine...... This grain is more than looking down on his own combat power, and everything else is fine......
It's a pity that an ominous premonition still slowly rose from his heart. It's like having a needle attached to the back of your neck all the time, and if you move a little, it will pierce into your skin.
"Hoo ......"
Arrow took a deep breath, making his mind appear a little clearer.
~~ Do you have darkness in your heart? It's okay, listen to my words and I will guide you to the light~~
Suddenly, Arrow looked up!
Cold sweat covered his back at this moment. It was at this time that Coco in the back suddenly shouted: "Brother President! You see! Over there! β
Arrow turned his head, and saw that the corpses of the two corpse eaters who had just been killed were now crawling slowly?
