Chapter 18: Joining forces

() "I...... Still alive?"

I don't know how long it took, but the consciousness finally returned.

Sophia, who was naked all over her body, was shrunk at this time, her hands clasped around her knees, floating in a blood-red world.

She slowly opened her eyes and relaxed herself, only to find that she wasn't the only traveler in the space, as there was another person floating in front of her.

It was a girl who was also undressed, just like she had just been, hugging her knees.

As if sensing that someone was staring at him, the girl opposite also opened her eyes and straightened her body.

Sophia looked at the scene in front of her in amazement, because the girl in front of her looked exactly like her!

The two girls were naked, the same body shape, the same height, and the same appearance, but there were only two differences: one was the color of the hair, Sophia's hair was blonde, while the hair of the girl opposite was gray;

"Who the hell are you?" asked Sophia, eating.

"Who am I?" the girl sneered, "My name is Korista." Also, I am you. ”

"Owen, I have a solution, but I need your help. Cassius was eager to try.

The Commander and Owen stopped asking questions and listened carefully to Cassius' train of thought.

"This monster can be reborn no matter which part of its body is broken, and it has 9 heads, so decapitation won't work. Therefore, the only way to defeat it is to destroy all nine of its heads and body at once. At this point, Cassius paused for a moment, and seeing that the two did not question, he continued reassuringly, "And the only thing that can do this is to join forces." In the magic research of the Snowy Federation, the theory of the magic increase of the 'joint array' was once proposed. It is to let several magicians stand in a specific position at the same time, as the key point of the magic array, several magicians inject magic at the same time with the same frequency and intensity, and jointly cast the same magic, so that it naturally forms a magic array, so that the power of the magic is not just a simple sum, but calculated by power! If you use a joint array, you can definitely solve this monster at one time. ”

"What are your odds?" Owen asked, a very realistic question.

"Honestly, I don't know. Cassius shook his head helplessly, "Because the arrangement of the joint array is very cumbersome, and the target of the spell casting must be in the center of the magic array, the scope of application is too narrow, so it has almost no effect in actual combat." I've only read the theory in books, but I've never applied it in practice. Now it's just a dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”

"But where are you going to get a few magicians now?" ...... the commander, casting a suspicious gaze on the four priests who were sweating and treating the wounded.

"Nope. The Priest's light magic is different from the basic elemental magic of our Snowy Federation, and they can't form a coalition with me. That's what I'm trying to say. Cassius took out six long black metal objects from the spatial storage ring, which were the magic sentries he often used, "Sister Elena was inspired by the previous battle between Mephistopheles in the 'Domain', and if I planted magic points around the enemy with the same frequency and strength while fighting, maybe I would be able to use the joint array alone." These magic sentries are all custom-made to the same specification, and contain the same frequency and intensity of mana, which is used in place of a real mage. But the main problem now is that after a sentry is activated, the duration of the mana release is only 10 seconds, which means that within 10 seconds of the first sentry releasing the mana, I have to place all the remaining 5 sentry posts on the infusion point. But I can't do it physically. ”

"So you want me to be a leg?" Owen immediately understood what Cassius meant.

The latter nodded, while looking at his fat belly in embarrassment.

"Then don't waste your time. Owen pulled Cassius' bulky, swollen body behind his back and lifted it effortlessly, "Come on, where is the first infusion point?"

At this time, the commander also said to the two of them with understanding: "Don't worry, my brothers and I will drag it during this time." ”

With the commander's assurance and Owen's assistance, Cassius was not polite, and pointed to a place about 6 meters in front of the left side of the hydra lizard: "There!"

Owen's movements were almost in sync with Cassius's voice, and he was already in the place that Cassius was referring to when he finished speaking. Cassius leaned over Owen's back and stuck a magic sentry into the ground, activating the sentry with his own magic power, only to see a burst of magical light emit from the sentry. "Over there!" Cassius pointed to another place.

As if sensing the two men's intentions, the three snakeheads moved closer to this direction and attacked Owen and Cassius. Owen was like a wind on his feet, dodging left and right under the siege of the snakehead, full of dangers, and finally succeeded in reaching his second destination.

"Go there!" After activating the two magic posts, Cassius pointed to the location of the third infusion point......

The two of them weaved back and forth between the dangerous giant snake heads, finally inserting all six sentry posts into the infusion point, however, it took them a bit longer: 22 seconds. The magical light on the first activated sentry had long since disappeared, and the joint array could not be activated. "We failed. Cassius said dejectedly.

"Don't give up. Owen encouraged. He then put Cassius down and rushed to the Hydra lizard alone.

Just as Cassius froze, he thought that Owen was going to attack the monster directly, but found out that Owen's real target was the magic sentry at the infusion point. One, two, three...... Owen pulled out all the magic sentries and returned to Cassius. "Let's do it again!" Owen handed the sentry to the latter.

Taking over the sentry, Cassius nodded vigorously, revealing a resolute gaze. Yes, why give up after one failure?

With the first experience, they have become much more proficient in their movements. The time taken is greatly reduced: 15 seconds. Still unsuccessful.

Again!3: 12 seconds!

At this time, the soldiers in charge of containing the hydra lizard had already been killed and wounded, and even the commander rushed forward to fight himself, seeing that all three attempts failed, he anxiously shouted to the two: "Are you all right?" At this time, the commander regretted a little, he should not have pinned his hopes on a magic theory that he had not even done before, so that he filled all his men in it.

After taking the recovered magic sentry from Owen for the third time, the two of them did not speak, but their eye contact revealed the same message: this was the last time, and if they failed again, they would never succeed.

Guided by the experience accumulated from the previous three defeats, the fourth operation to set up a joint formation was finally successful! It took only 7 seconds.

Jumping off Owen's back, Cassius held his staff high in one hand and the seal in the other, and said in his mouth: "Six stars are horizontal, magic power is fused, and the magic circle is combined to disintegrate the cold!"

The commander, who had long been aware, hurriedly ordered the troops besieging the Hydra lizard to retreat. The soldiers who were still alive scattered in a hurry, and they ran to the periphery as if they were desperate, trying to escape from the cast range of the combined array and avoid the pond fish.

The six magic sentry posts glowed dark blue at the same time. The magic contained in the sentry was originally devoid of elemental attributes, but Cassius forcibly changed it to frozen magical energy. With six magic posts as points, the dark blue magic light forms a hexagonal shape, and the inside is connected into two overlapping hexagrams, while the six magic points together extend the magic light to the center of the magic circle: where the hydra lizard is located.

After many times of refraction and fusion, the power of the joint magic circle has reached its maximum. Although the "Disintegrating Chill" released with the mana stored by a single sentry is not as powerful as one-tenth of that cast by Cassius himself, after multiplying it to the sixth power, the increase in mana obtained is still quite amazing. The cold air directly penetrated the body of the hydra lizard, freezing its four legs, nine heads, monitor lizard's body, and thick tail at the same time, destroying the molecular structure of the body's cells and making it extremely fragile.

When the light and magic light vanished, so did the Array. However, even in the face of the giant demonic beast that was completely frozen, those soldiers still had palpitations and did not dare to act rashly.

The first to break the deadlock was Owen, who stepped out of the crowd and swung his fist at the red snake head, only to hear the sound of "Hua Lala", and the giant snake head suddenly shattered into ice slag.

"Here's your chance, come on!" With the first person to eat the crab, the soldiers who were holding back finally gained courage, and without waiting for the commander's order, they raised their swords and rushed towards the frozen hydra lizard, and even the crossbowmen dropped their crossbows, drew their self-defense daggers and rushed forward.

Under the siege of human soldiers from all sides, the immobile hydra lizard was cut and shattered piece by piece, and finally completely destroyed, never to be reborn.

In the council hall of Dawning Heights, Hydra's murder caused an uproar.

"It's a human, why is it so fast?" the sparrow looked at Owen in the three-dimensional magic image, his brow furrowed deeply, and he gnashed his teeth with hatred. She was upset that a human could threaten her speed.

"Huh, is this the end! that pet must have some other tricks up his sleeve, right?" Muffle pretended to be surprised.

As the master of Hydra, Orome certainly heard the mockery in Muffle's words, but he didn't think so. Orome closed the notebook, then placed the quill, along with the notebook, back into a storage ring on his hand. It is indeed a pity that Hydra, who has spent so much effort and time on it, was killed like this, although he has collected enough actual combat numbers, but it will definitely take a lot of time to recapture and rebuild. However, Orome's mood at this time did not seem to be unhappy with the loss of Hydra, but on the contrary, he was full of anticipation and joy, because he had found research material that was more valuable than Hydra's.

"Not bad. Orome nodded contentedly, as if the silver-haired boy in the image was already lying on the dissecting table.

In fact, not everyone's eyes are focused on Owen. A guy who was ignored by the others, the snooze black fox, had actually woken up a long time ago, and he watched the whole battle and kept his eyes on Cassius.

"Together. Snowy Federation. The black fox whispered.
