Chapter 291: Earth Defense Group
The world of Tiga, the ultra-ancient period, the kingdom of mankind, outside the royal city.
Human warriors in magical armor formed formations and entangled with the lion-tailed behemoth.
The heavily armored captain stood at the forefront, relying on the amplification of his armor and the sharp materialized energy weapons on his body to attract and defuse most of the beast's attacks.
Magic technology is a technology developed by human beings in this era after a long period of exploration and the guidance and teaching of the giants of light, and it is also one of the important factors for weak human beings to survive and develop in this world.
The number of Giants of Light is even rarer than that of the Dark Giants, and it is already a bit difficult to face the attacks of the Dark Giants.
Although the Dark Giant's main target is the Giant of Light, and the attitude towards humans is usually just "trample to death when you see it", there are not only Dark Giants, Giants of Light, and humans in this world, but also other dangerous creatures.
This includes all sorts of monsters that are huge.
In the face of these monsters, which are born with huge bodies and great destructive power, the human body is simply as fragile as paper.
Only by relying on the weapons developed by the magic technology that they have explored can humans be qualified to fight behemoths and even dark giants.
However, the creation of magic technology only gave humans the possibility to fight with giant beasts, in fact, even with the magic technology that has been developed for thousands of years, humans still have to take great risks in the battle with giant beasts.
Yu Lian, or Zi You, who is alias Yu Lian, stands at the back of the formation with a spear in his hand, and from time to time finds the right time to stab the spear in his hand, leaving scars on the body of the giant beast or forcing it to attack back.
For her, who has thousands of years of combat experience, even if the combat style is mostly based on various light skills and superpowers, her melee skills are still far beyond that of humans.
Moreover, although her physique is weak and her dark energy is silent after she incarnates into a human being, she is a veteran existence among the dark giants after all, and her current physical fitness is still ten or even dozens of times that of ordinary people.
If it weren't for the fact that he was only a newcomer who had just joined the Ninth Guard, and needed to recuperate for a while, Yu Lian could even kill this giant beast easily single-handedly.
Deliberately restrained from his fighting style, Mercy tried not to be too conspicuous in the crowd.
As the wounds on the giant beast's body increased, it was gradually aroused by the pain.
"Roaring ——!"
A huge roar erupted from the beast's mouth, so loud that it could even be felt through the air.
The captain who was closest to him and was standing directly in front of him suddenly went blank in his mind at the deafening roar, and even felt dizzy.
If it weren't for the defensive shield formed by the magic channel, this roar would have been enough to rupture her internal organs on the spot and kill her.
After sending the captain and the other nearby team members into a dazzle with an unexpected roar, the beast did not take the opportunity to attack them, but instead landed its fierce gaze on the distant Pyro.
What instinctive intuition told him? This human being is the most dangerous of all enemies.
The body brings a violent and violent wind? Ignoring the other targets that were within reach, the beast pounced on the mercy without hesitation.
A giant beast more than ten meters high at the shoulder runs? Can you cross extremely long distances with every step? The distance between it and Mercy was crossed almost in the blink of an eye.
Since he can't show more strength than humans, he can only "hurry" to maximize the protection level of the armor? And he was able to hold the spear in his hand across his chest.
"Bang ——!"
With a dull clash, the slender body and the spear that had been broken in two were thrown far away.
If you look closely? You can see that the magic circuit on the armor she is wearing has almost disappeared.
"Bastard!"
Behind the Behemoth? The captain, who barely regained his senses, watched the scene of Youlian being knocked out, his eyes suddenly bloodshot, and he ran towards the giant beast desperately.
……
"Hoo ......"
In a plainly decorated but well-lit hut, Mercy slowly opens her eyes? Exhale slowly? Sit up from the bed.
"Why did you dream of the captain again......"
Stretching out his snow-white slender palm, he gently rubbed his eyebrows, and Youlian lifted the quilt on his body and walked down from the bed.
When she was a dark giant, she didn't need to sleep? Even if you fall asleep once in a while, you won't dream.
But since becoming human? Not only does she need to sleep, but she also dreams from time to time that only humans do.
In these dreams? In particular, the battle two years ago occurred most frequently.
As a patriarch of the dark giant, even if he is incarnated in a human state? It's impossible for Mercy to be injured by an ordinary weak beast.
She seemed embarrassed at the time? But in fact, he skillfully used the magic circuit on the armor and the weapon in his hand to defuse the attack of the giant beast? He didn't suffer too serious injuries.
It's a pity that the captain died.
The captain who brought her into the Ninth Guard, taught her how to use magic weapons little by little, and praised her for her talent as a warrior, died in that unexpected encounter.
This wasn't something unacceptable or very sad for her, as she was only here to go undercover among humans and help Wang find clues to his memories.
As for the death of an ordinary human woman, it has nothing to do with her, and it can't even make her emotions fluctuate in the slightest.
"Ding-ding-"
The communicator placed at the head of the bed emitted a short, crisp chime, and Yu Lian picked up the communicator and glanced at the information on it.
"Another meeting? Humans are such trouble! ”
Muttering impatiently in her heart, Yu Lian took off her comfortable pajamas and put on a formal uniform.
Putting the communicator in his pocket, Mercy walked towards the door.
"Click-"
Unscrewed the doorknob, and was about to step out, when the poor footsteps slammed.
She closed the door again in silence, walked over to a rudimentary shelf in the corner of the room, and picked up a somewhat tattered but unusually clean helmet.
The format of the helmet is somewhat similar to that of the royal city guard, but it is not the common semi-covered type, but the relatively rare full cover type, and this helmet is significantly heavier than the helmet of standard armor.
Confirming that there was no one around, subtle dark power poured out of the palms of the Mercy, covering the helmet in the blink of an eye.
The dark forces are so cleverly controlled that there is hardly the slightest leakage.
The dark energy swam around the helmet for a few more moments, then quietly vanished.
The dust in some of the corners of the helmet that was not easy to clean has completely disappeared.
The tattered helmet, which had been quite clean, was now almost completely devoid of dust.
“……”
Silently placing his helmet on the shelf, Mercy pushed open the door and walked towards the center of the royal city.
……
"Hello Captain of the Poor Sect!"
"Good morning, Captain Compassion!"
Along the way, there were people who kept saying hello to Youlian, but Youlian didn't seem to be in high spirits, and the others simply said hello and didn't bother her anymore.
Dressed in a white robe, her silver hair down to her waist, she wore a dark gold badge pinned to her chest, the emblem of the Earth Defense Corps she had created a year earlier.
And she is the first head of the Earth Defense Regiment.
