Chapter 80: Assault
"Is this the knight?"
Han Dong, who was hiding in the shadows, was completely shocked by the battle that broke out next.
The duel between the female knight and the fallen is far beyond the realm of human beings, not to mention magic and supernatural abilities.
The most basic physical fitness alone is enough to shock Han Dong.
With an ordinary knee-bending jump, Celeste can reach a height of five meters and easily surpass [Baker the Fallen].
The swing of the flail can pierce through a meter-thick stone wall, and even smash a deep pit into the ground.
Combined with the various offensive holy light magic of the 'Holy Cult Army', it continues to put pressure on the opponent.
[Baker the Fallen] is not fully adapted to his body due to the interference of distracting thoughts in his body, and his lack of flexibility has kept him in a state of 'suppression'.
On the face of it, Celeste is at an advantage.
But...... There's a problem.
Even though each flail attack can shatter several tentacles, it will never hurt the Fallen's origin.
The shattered tentacles either crawl back into the main body on their own or grow back on.
"The [Holy Army] is not a purely offensive person, and it also needs to be "shielded".
In addition, some of the Holy Light Magic is a buff type, which can actually be used in battle, that is, the throwing type of Holy Light attack and the Holy Flame covering the surface of the flail.
Her positioning is more "defensive" and "team buff".
With the cooperation of her teammates, she can fully exert her strength.
In situations where she is heavily aggrosus, she needs a teammate who is aggressive enough to deal a fatal blow to the target.
If she continues like this, sooner or later she will run out of energy and be defeated.
I had to do something. ”
Han Dong, who was hidden in the shadows, released Chen Li again.
Sensing two powerful breaths, Chen Li instinctively retreated, combining with the darkness as much as possible, without revealing her face.
When Han Dong gave the battle plan, Chen Li immediately shook his head.
"It's too dangerous, we're all going to die."
"If you don't take any chances, you'll end up dying...... It's better to fight. ”
Chen Li disagreed, and still vetoed the frontal battle, "We can run away directly now and let this female knight drag this fallen monster...... At most, after the fact, your mission was not successful, right? ”
Chen Li is not a warm-hearted person.
After judging that the strength of the enemy was far above herself, she only thought of her life, not to die.
"No...... My purpose is not to save the female knight, but I want to obtain the magic book hidden in the body of the Fallen! Need your help, Chen Li. ”
The 'master-servant relationship' was faintly working, and Chen Li was a little irresistible to Han Dong's request, but she was still unwilling to take risks in her subjective will.
"What if you die?"
"Living in a world like this, a large number of human beings die every day...... If we don't do something and try to fight for something important, sooner or later we too will die.
My gut tells me that this book will work immensely for me.
Moreover, once I can cooperate with Celeste to kill this fallen who has fused with the life outside the city walls, I will also harvest a huge amount of "cell essence", and I will have a higher survival rate in the next [Destiny Space].
Miss Chen Li, I'm sorry for you. ”
“…… Just do what you say. ”
Chen Li's eyes were gloomy, and she began to move her body joints in a dark corner and do warm-up exercises.
…………
"Judgment of the Holy Hammer"
Celeste unleashes a stunt.
When the flail in his hand was swung, a large part of the divine energy was withdrawn from his head.
A giant hammer of holy light spawned on top of the Fallen and descended.
As she unleashed the blow, Celeste fell to her knees on one knee as she instantly drained a large amount of energy, causing her consciousness to shake...... It was impossible to continue the pursuit.
When the Giant Hammer is pressed.
Baker the Fallen stretched out his tentacled arms to block it.
Zizizizi!
Due to the repulsion of their attributes, a black vapor continued to emerge from the arms used for blocking, and the surface tentacles quickly turned into filthy slime and continued to drip to the ground.
Click!
The Holy Hammer also possessed tremendous power, causing Baker's legs to tremble slightly, and he continued to sink to the ground.
It's just that this kind of holy hammer formed by relying on energy will not always exist.
As pollutants continue to be offset.
As the black steam came out, the light of the Holy Hammer gradually faded...... If this continues, at most destroying Baker's arms will not be enough to kill him.
Celeste gritted her teeth as she watched the scene.
"Just an expelled apprentice knight, how can He De withstand such a powerful creature outside the wall!? In his physical state, he should disintegrate directly in the process of 'acceptance', so why can he accept it perfectly?'
It was this question that Celeste was most puzzled about.
Acceptance and possession.
It is not just a matter of finding a carrier at random, the body of the subject must be strong enough, otherwise it will directly turn into a puddle of mud in the process of accepting foreign objects.
"Damn...... I didn't expect that the second layer would give rise to such a troublesome degenerate, and if I could get out alive, I had to report to the higher-ups.
In recent years, the desire for invasion of things from outside has become stronger and stronger, and the means have become more and more secretive.
But...... It's hard to kill this thing with my current means.
What to do? Consume the remaining energy of the Divine Tree and ruin the ship?"
As Celeste stared at the giant hammer that was about to be neutralized, she was ready to make a bad decision.
A red shadow flashed in the corner.
Climb directly onto the shoulders of Baker the Fallen from the 'side'. (The front is drawn to Celeste, the back has huge eyes, and the sides are the best vantage points for raids.) )
You must know that the tentacles all over Baker's body have subjective agency, and when he feels the approach of a foreign object, he immediately winds away.
Hmmm~mph~
The kitchen knife covered in evil energy slashed super quickly, and the tentacles were slashed to the ground one after another.
Eyes locked on Baker's head.
That's right.
Han Dong's request was to let Chen Li lock the other party's head.
Because, Baker only has a head and barely maintains his human form.
Once you hurt your head, even if you don't die, you have to be affected to a certain extent, right?
Chen Li is a containment creature, staying in a cell full of chaotic tentacles, and is also not afraid of any form of 'pollution'.
Taking advantage of the Fallen's ability to fend off the Hammer, quickly climb from the side to the shoulders to avoid contact with the huge eyes on the back.
"Eyes on the back" is a feature that Han Dong cares about very much, and the mysterious magician seems to be hiding inside.
Moreover, judging from the previous battles, Celeste was also afraid of this eye, and the whole time it was a head-on battle.
Because of the giant eyes embedded in his back, it was difficult to sneak up on the fallen from his back.
Chen Li did it...... Grab its attention as much as possible. ”
A sharp kitchen knife slashed at Baker's bloated head.
Click!
A knife actually split the skull.
Abnormal protrusions.
Suddenly, a different 'brain tentacle' gushed out of the cleft in the skull
The kitchen knife slashed at the tentacles, but it could not be cut......
Swish!!
The 'oil' liquid is splattered all over the place.
The tentacles easily penetrated Chen Li's shoulders, hanging her in mid-air, staring directly from the eyes on her back!
And at this moment, the young man who was hidden in the shadows set out.
