Chapter 128: Crisis

If the toad monsters that once appeared in the Black Spire were just a huge number, then with the dark vision granted by the witch, Lothar and Fioni caught a glimpse of the enemies from afar was enough to make people's scalps tingle. No one knows where these monsters came from, or how they have endured in this completely sealed space, which has been isolated for many years. But one thing is for sure, and that is that these monsters are scary-light in weight. Originally, the number of krakens estimated by vibration perception was very different from what they actually saw, and if it weren't for the large number of phantoms with no actual mass among these monsters, their individual weight was as small as that of insects.

But now is not the time to think about that. Anyone who has actually dealt with toad monsters knows that the mass of their bodies is completely disproportionate to their trouble and lethality, and that at that mass, even if it is ants that come in, it is enough to break down human flesh and blood in an instant. But things don't always go their way, don't they?

"Be careful, they're not just behind!" the Kraken roared, his whole body leaping up like a cheetah, his right hand gripping the sharktooth scimitar strapped to his waist as his feet soared into the air. The weapon hadn't completely left Peg's belt when Fioni leapt to his side, but the blade had been erected enough to have an effect. "Poof!" the sound of a sharp blade slashing into a lump of flesh rang out in the cavern, and a toad monster that had swooped down the right fork in the road was neatly split in two by the Kraken from its chest!

Soon, toad monsters were running from the forks in the road on both sides, and some even jumped from unseen heights and pounced on the team members from the air. "What the hell!" Lothar's battle axe glowed with a cold glow in the darkness, and he flew to smash the onrushing monster into the endless darkness, knocking back another enemy from the air with the hilt of his axe. The witches were not idle, as Fettis untied the whip from his waist and wrapped half of it around his hand to control the weapon's range, then used the remaining half to whip up a deadly storm that swept the enemies involved into the abyss of death. However, the Warden's weapons are not as effective as they should be in the squad, and she must always keep an eye on the positions of the others to avoid accidental injury.

In contrast, Karen, who had lost his snake whip in the previous battle, was more embarrassed to deal with the enemy. Fifty percent of her skills in hand-to-hand combat are in her whip skills, and now that the weapon in her hand is not there, there is another companion in the team who is more adept at using the long whip, in order to prevent the two whips from getting entangled in the air and causing accidents, the weapon that Jia Lun is carrying this time is a small war hammer. Don't underestimate this hammer is only a fist-sized weapon, the solid steel makes the armor on the mountain monster not necessarily work under this thing. And the Warhammer, a weapon that is simple and straightforward to use, also saves Galen the time to get used to it, and only needs to swing it with all his strength at the opponent's vital points.

So the four of them formed a small team of solid walls to deal with the enemies that emerged from all around. In the center of the wall, Peg's hair glowed pale green, and she was trying to probe the darkness as much as possible, as the team's eyes and ears searched for information about the enemy. As for the mountain monster, this warrior with a spear in his hand is the pioneer who ensures that the team is not swallowed by the waves behind him, his burly body and the weight of the armor have an momentum comparable to that of a battering ram, with the tip of the spear as the tip, all the toad monsters who try to stop the team's progress are ruthlessly crushed by this chariot! But even so, as the frequency of the enemies in front of him gradually increased, the wheels of the chariot also slipped in the soft flesh, and the speed of progress gradually slowed down.

"What's going on, the things behind are coming up!" Lothar kicked his opponent into the air, released his weapon with his right hand, and slammed his fist into the other monster's face, then took the tomahawk upside down with his left hand and brought it down with the barb under the blade, then smashed its head straight with the handle of the axe as a warhammer. A large amount of gray slurry splattered out and splashed onto the Count's body. Fortunately, the toad monsters here don't seem to be as weird as those in the Black Spire, and their blood is not corrosive, so that they will not be tied down when fighting.

"There's that up ahead, too, we're surrounded!" shouted to his companions behind him, the hammer in his hand stuck to his tongue by a toad monster, unable to swing it smoothly. "Get out!" the angry witch's eyes glowed intensely, and her rebuke turned into an invisible wave of air, tearing the ugly toad's abdomen apart at once! But this strong attack was not without a price, and after the angry shout, Jialun's arms began to tremble slightly, and a few of her short hair turned white.

"Use your power wisely, Karon, don't be brutal. Unlike her own daughter, the warden, even if she was in an equally disadvantageous position, was always able to find a reasonable way to avoid confrontation with the enemy in time. It's just that her lesson is easy to say, and if you want to avoid the occurrence of shaking power, you must have enough skills and experience. Karen has the former in her training, but the latter is clearly lacking. Moreover, in the process of fighting these monsters, the scenes and memories of her previous defeat and humiliation in the Black Spire also shocked her spirit again and again, and the flames of anger made her unable to control herself as usual. The witch's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the warhammer moves in her hands became more and more violent.

"Peg!" the little witch who was called by Fetis knew what she was supposed to do, and in any case, Garen's current state was not good for the situation in front of her. Even her savage way of fighting has affected the actions of others. Peg's hair rose up under the influence of the magic, then bypassed Garron's warhammer and quickly tangled with the latter's hair, a pale green glow flowing down the ends of her hair into the angry witch's scalp, bringing with her the energy to calm her. Peg's attempt succeeded in calming Glenn down, the light in her eyes fading and her breathing became rapid, a natural reaction of her body after the magic wore off, there was too much heat in her chest cavity that needed to be sent out, and the two lung tablets were still not powerful even with all their might.

"Guide those powers, Garron, and turn them into your weapons!" Fettis's teachings have helped Garren through many difficult times, and this time was no exception. Karen felt the heat that remained in her body, as if it was going to burn her out, and she tried to control them, to guide them, to make them gather towards an exit instead of scurrying around.

"Get out of the way!" the witch yelled at Lothar and Fioni as she smoked white smoke from the heat, and then let out a deep breath from between the two to the enemy behind them. Legend has it that dragons and demons can breathe flames, but today there is probably one more such being, and the flames from the mouth of the short-haired witch form a hideous fiery serpent that winds up the corpses that have fallen on the road behind, and instantly spreads to the monsters that try to chase them. Then, there was a series of horrific explosions, the toad monsters that first came into contact with the fire snake turned into barrels full of explosives, their bodies rapidly expanded, glowing a dark red, and after a short delay, these poor creatures turned into real live bombs, bursting explosions that sent a large number of their kind flying!

The cracking sound of "click, click" cracked with several cracks in the most violent part of the explosion, and it was clear that the fireworks display created by the witch was beyond the reach of this ancient path, and as everyone had feared, it was about to collapse.
