Chapter Seventy-Two: The Achilles' Heel

"Po", "Po", "Po", "Po", "Po", "Po......

The knights of the palace guard, who had died earlier, managed to delay the time and activate the defenses installed at the palace gate, and hundreds of sharp arrows were fired from hidden positions that no one had thought of, shooting from different directions at the crowd fighting in front of the palace gate.

Originally, the wolves had already surrounded the Duris family and their remnants in the center, and then kept consuming around them, killing two more knights in less than two minutes, but the sudden activation of the hidden arrow caused the wolves to withdraw from the encirclement and scatter to avoid it.

The arrow curtain failed to hit any of the wolves, but flew towards the besieged Duris and the others.

At this time, Queen Catherine finally made a move! She unleashed the magic power that had been gathering for a long time, and the flying swords that flew out from under her skirt were not seven or nine, but a total of fifty-nine! For the decisive battle of fate on Christmas Eve, Catherine was also fully prepared, and she drank a "magic stimulant" The so-called Kamisevsky potion has greatly increased the strength of his magic power in a short period of time, even if he may cause permanent trauma to his body due to excessive mana overdraft, just to be able to help her husband.

Fifty-five flying swords swirled around her husband and daughter, as well as the three knights who were still alive, and flew at breakneck speeds, forming an impermeable defensive net to protect them from the hidden arrows of the trap. Even Catherine had the strength to detach several flying swords to chase down the werewolves who dodged the hidden arrows.

Unlike the Hidden Arrows, which can only fly in a fixed trajectory, Catherine's magically controlled flying sword is capable of tracking its target autonomously. The six giant wolves were chased by the flying sword and scurried around. Although these werewolves have super self-healing abilities, those flying swords are all quenched with poison, and after hitting the body, even if the superficial skin wounds heal, the toxin will soak into the body along the bloodstream.

However, the faint smell of the toxin on the flying sword was detected by the werewolf's super sense of smell, so all six giant wolves chose to dodge with a sensitive body instead of a hard confrontation.

As the curtain of arrows decreased, Catherine was able to separate more and more flying swords to attack the werewolves, and the werewolves were forced to retreat farther and farther away, but at the same time, Catherine was under more and more pressure, and her mana consumption became more and more serious. Ultimately......

"Poof......

Catherine spewed out a mouthful of arrow blood, her eyes went black, and she fainted.

When the time finally came to an end when the magic enhanced by Kamisdevsky's potion was exhausted, Catherine was damaged by the magic feedback, and her spells came to an abrupt end. With a series of "clanging" sounds, fifty-nine flying swords that were flying at high speed suddenly lost their power to maneuver and fell to the ground one after another.

The queen's strong counterattack stopped, and the wolves regrouped and surrounded Duris and the others.

At this time, Queen Catherine had lost her combat effectiveness, and her own combat effectiveness had further decreased due to attrition, and the situation was even more dangerous in the face of another siege by unscathed wolves.

However, King Duris did not take a step back, he put one hand around the unconscious queen, and the other hand held the sword in front of his daughter, and when a giant wolf rushed to him, Duris threw the long sword in his hand without hesitation.

The relative speed in the charge is extremely high, and even if the transformed giant wolf is nimble, it can't dodge the oncoming sword!

The blade pierced through the weakest of eyes, into the brain, and accurately into the tiny pituitary gland of the back of the head. Werewolves have a strong ability to heal themselves, from the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland in the back of the head, after the pituitary gland is destroyed, there is no possibility of rebirth - this is also the Achilles heel of the werewolf's extremely secret.

The giant wolf fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and never got up again. Soon after, the wolf's body ceased to move completely, and continued to shrink and deform, eventually returning to its original human form. A young man who had been pierced through the head by a long sword was lying on the ground naked, red blood and gray brains mixed together, almost "soaking" the poor corpse.

Duris's sudden counterattack stunned the remaining 5 imposing werewolves. The werewolves, who were invincible and killed the elite soldiers of the pro-guard team, did not expect that Duris would completely grasp their weaknesses, and kill one of their companions with a single shot, so that these werewolves suddenly came to their senses, the rumored King Duris is not a fish on the chopping block, and it is not unreasonable that his resistance will make the truth so jealous.

However, now that Duris has no weapons in his hands, he still has to take care of his wife and daughter, who have no ability to resist - seeing the current predicament that Duris is facing, 5 giant wolves have once again besieged him.

Sakoros and the two knights who were still alive tightened their defenses, and although they didn't know how long they could hold out like this, as long as their hearts were still beating, they would definitely fight until the last second......

In the alley, Julian and Ou's battle is turned upside down.

Whether they were enemies of each other as antagonists or fighting side by side as comrades-in-arms, the two of them knew each other well. Owen is still unarmed, but his body is agile, his movements are secretive, and his attacks are unpredictable, although Julian's sword is powerful, it can't hit him like a sponge, but Julian, who has matured to control the holy sword "Eternal Victory" and the magic sword "Tears of Repentance", uses the powerful power contained in the two artifacts to minimize the space that Owen can vacate, so that Owen has no chance to get close to the distance that can attack him with crushing telekinesis.

The two had been battling each other for more than 50 rounds, and the surrounding buildings had collapsed one by one in the aftermath of their battle, and the small alley had become a ruined wasteland, but neither of them had managed to hit the other, and both men fought extremely cautiously - or rather, each gave the other a hand.

Because he didn't understand the material structure of the magic sword or the holy sword, Owen couldn't directly use telekinesis to smash these two artifacts, and Julian grasped Owen's weakness and flexibly manipulated the two swords to press forward step by step. When sealing Owen's retreat with the sword aura emitted by the holy sword, the magic sword slashed at Owen's throat in a deadly arc.

The blade swept less than half a centimeter past Owen's neck. Owen, who dodged the throat-sealing sword, immediately dropped down, supported the ground with one hand, and kicked Julian twice with both feet. Julian couldn't keep up with his sword return, and he took a step back, avoiding the vital point, and used his hard breastplate to withstand Owen's kick.

Only two "bangs, bangs" were heard, and Owen's feet made the most intense contact with Julian's breastplate. This was the first real contact between the two at the beginning of their fight, and although neither side was able to inflict substantial damage on the other, Julian's robe over the armor was torn open with such a kick.

With the help of the reaction force, he rolled back, widening the distance between him and Julian, and after standing firm, Owen fixed his eyes and saw the armor exposed from the hole in Julian's black robe, and couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Julian was surprised by Owen's reaction, and instead of taking advantage of the situation, he opted for a steady vigilance.

"Alas......" Owen sighed as he looked up to the sky, he had no intention of continuing the fight, just stared at Julian coldly.

"What do you want to do?" said Julie.

"Julian, is the armor you're wearing from Uncle Merkne?" Owen asked solemnly.

Through the torn opening of Julian's robe, a blooming rose can be faintly seen carved into the armor inside.
