Chapter Ninety-Five: The Siege VI
As the orcs shot arrows into the air, threw pikes and spears, the priest moved his lips and summoned vultures and stinger flies, old Denver put his hand into his precious leather pouch and pulled out a handful of blood meal mixed with elven bone meal and sprinkled it on the Chimera, "Fly, my child," he cried, "That's your prey, your blood food, it's your sacrifice!
The Chimera tilted its head, pulled out the spear that had killed the dragon, and after becoming the vessel of the Kawu Attendant, the sanity and thinking ability of an intelligent creature left the body earlier than life, and even the pain was vague and intermittent, it did not understand the words of Priest Denver, but it remembered Kerryben, the shining creature, who stabbed himself with a shiny little stick, and it hissed in fear and hatred, and the ugly and sharp cry was unbearable to the orcs around it- Its bones and muscles tumbled, swelled, rearranged and combined under the skin, and finally they pierced through the Chimera's fur and stretched into the air—a pair of blood-drenched wings, without skin, except for Bai Sensen's bones and tendons clinging to them and a thin transparent membrane of flesh, and as they fanned up and down, crimson blood similar to black flowed down from where the wings had protruded, accumulating into a small pool on the ground.
It flew, very clumsy and slow, but when it stood up, its sight was almost level with the tip of the giant trebuchet, and it flew higher, and it stretched out its claws, and an elven mage narrowly avoided it.
"If you're going to do something," said Kerryben, who, like the other elven warriors, turned behind Cremar and grabbed him so he could cast his spells, "just do it." ”
In fact, Kremar began chanting the incantation after scanning the valley and seeing that nothing had been missed, and he made a gesture to throw two flames in quick succession under the trebuchet.
The impactful flames struck the small wooden crates stacked at the top of the box - it wasn't without orcs noticing the strange sight as Cremar moved them, but they were unfamiliar and stupid with the tricks of the human spellcasters, who thought it was one of the priests' magic, and even orcs helped move the crates to make them more neatly stacked - which caused Cremar's flames to explode like never before.
The otherworldly soul covered his eyes the moment he threw the flames, and just as he had expected, a tremendous force pushed him farther and higher, and she heard the screams of the orcs and the strange shrill cries of the Chimera, and then smelled the strong smell of garlic. He cast a trick to dispel the smoke around him, and the dazzling flames that melted the rock engulfed the Chimera and the two giant trebuchets beside it, and the orcs around them either burned or roared in pain in the smoke, including their priests.
game.over, Cremar thought, but what he couldn't have predicted was that as he was preparing to ascend in order to completely escape the smoke envelope, he suddenly lost the weight and temperature that the Elven Ranger brings.
"Kerryben!" the black-haired spellcaster cried out in panic, and then he saw a flash of blades in the smoke, flashes that he was all too familiar with, after all, Kerriben had used the scimitars in front of him more than once - he saw Kerryben, he was firmly entangled in a black shadow, the black shadow's constantly shaking head in half, each half teasing the elf mercilessly - the ranger's scimitar could not do any damage to the shadow-like black void, "Silver Crown" and "Starlight" Piercing through it was like piercing through air, but the black void could greedily suck his blood and devour his body like a real venomous snake.
Without hesitation, the caster threw the strongest spell he could cast with telekinesis, and the shadow disappeared with a hissing sound that was like a mockery, and Cremar caught Kerribben in time to recall the weapon that had fallen from his feeble hands.
He had fallen into a complete coma by the time Kremar touched the Ranger, and he had no time to think, although the orcs were in disarray, and no one could remember that there was still a group of culprits to pursue, it was better for them to get out as soon as possible.
They had no additional losses other than the elves who had tragically died before—no, maybe Kerryben.
The elves took out all the eaux-de-vie, healing potions, healing spells, and scrolls, and Baldwin summoned all the priests, from Rosa to Ilmoth, but Kerryben's torn wound could not be erased like a curse imposed by a powerful mage or priest, and it continued to rot and melt in plain sight - from his shoulders to his neck, arms, The chest, both skin and bones, had turned into jet-black water, seeping through the white linen sheets, and soon they could see Kerryben's fluttering arteries, trachea, and tender internal organs.
Baldwin looked up at the priests, the pleading look in his eyes that could have touched anyone with a heart of stone.
"I beg your pardon for our powerlessness," said a priest from Rosada, "the senior priest of the royal capital may be able to, but our power is ...... It's not enough to dispel the toxins and negative energy injected by a demon. ”
"It also draws his blood," said another Ilmot priest, "in large quantities, and the fire of his life is as thin as a thread." ”
- If Kerryben died, the spirit of the other world asked if he could be resurrected with the help of the priest?
- No, said the former undead, humans, dwarves, Both gnomes and orcs can be resurrected as long as their gods are willing to release their souls, but elves cannot, because Angelis, the god of life they serve, is a stubborn and ridiculous old fellow, and his people respect life as much as death, for elves, death is not the end but the beginning of another journey, and unless an elf is burdened with a burden that can change their fate, they will not answer the priest's call to return to this chaotic world...... No, what do you want to do?
"Birdwin," Cremar said, "can you let everyone go away for a while?"
Baldwin looked up in confusion.
"I might be able to save Kerryben," said the black-haired young spellcaster, "but can you please leave?"
One of the elven mages looked at Cremar and then at Kerryburn, the ranger's breathing had become extremely difficult as his lungs were rotting.
"As you wish. He said, bowing to Cremar and then turning and walking out of the room without hesitation, he was the eldest of the elves, and he took the former's place after Kerry lost consciousness - since the elves were willing to leave, the others certainly had no reason to stay, and Berdwin took one last look at his friend, who would die at any moment, exited the room, and closed the door.
- You can't do that!" screamed the lich, an elf, son of the King of the Jungle, the former undead, who could guess what was in this beautiful shell as soon as he regained consciousness!
-- We can run away.
- And then he's going to keep this little secret for us?
- Maybe not, said the soul of the other world, but I don't want to see him die. One Ilda is enough.
- All the elves will return to the temple of Angres, the lich mockingly reminds them that they will be honored there.
- Thousands of years, or 10,000 years from now, the soul of the other world said, but not today, not now.
- But your recklessness may turn him into an octopus.
――?
- You are not the first person to think of using positive energy to heal the wounded, the former immortal said that there was a mage who once threw his companion, a knight who had lost his legs, into the plane of positive energy, and his original intention was to let his companion regain a healthy limb as soon as possible. But it turned out that the knight had grown a whole dozen legs, yes, more than spiders, poor idiot, the positive energy plane is sometimes more dangerous than the negative energy plane, of course, healing spells can get the most buff there, but remember, it can also promote the growth of the root of the disease or allow ** to regenerate unfettered - and finally the knight rushed to the group of giants in despair, neither wearing armor nor carrying weapons, because no mage or priest could restore him to his original form.
Kerry was an elf, the lich sighed, and the elves rejected and despised all unnatural beings, what do you really want to do? Make Kerry the first octopus elf ever?and then banished by the Silver Crown Forest, even if he died, he could not receive Angeleth's call, and could only wander the mourning wastes until he was devoured by the devil or demons - they didn't care what the food was like, Kerryben's soul should have a rather different taste - He commented viciously that he would hate you, curse you, and regret countless times that he had once considered you his friend.
――...... Belch...... I'd like to say that......
――What?
- I'm not as good as you think, the soul of the other world said, and sometimes, I'm very selfish. So...... I'm sorry.
