Section 43 Post-war

The battle is over......

Even as strong as Apsalas could not withstand such severe damage. Martha's giant crossbow smashed half of her body to pieces, splattering blood and flesh all over the ground. However, as the real name demon of the main material world, Apsalas still embodies her terrifying vitality. He actually sank into the underground river by the inertia of being knocked away, and was never seen again.

On the battlefield, only nearly 100 ice sculptures and ice chips were left.

With a click, Martha's visor lifted, revealing her hideous face. The cross dart in his hand was still dripping with blood, and a long red line was drawn behind him. In the darkness, she walked up to Udias step by step, looking up at the statue that was still in a sword posture. After a while, he smiled coldly.

"I really want to take advantage of this opportunity to kill you."

"But I don't want to suffer the wrath of the Demon Hunter Guild yet. Let's just let you live a little longer. ”

As she spoke, Martha stretched out her hand to Udias, and an invisible force penetrated into it, and the ice covering Udias made a clattering sound, and countless cracks spread and spread, and Udias blew up the ice and walked out. A piercing gaze lit up under the helmet.

After a brief silence, he whispered. "It seems that I have failed."

"Are all my children dead?"

"Alright, they're all alive." Martha reverted to her cynical appearance and said impatiently. "I chased that woman away, so you owe me a personal favor again."

"Really?" Udias paused, as if acclimatizing. And then he said. "Thank you."

"Don't be thankful, remember to cash out." Martha said unceremoniously, and then walked over to the other knights.

The next thing is to put the finishing touches on it, although this is only an attack by one of Apsalas' 'people', but it also has extremely serious consequences for Udias and his party. Nearly a hundred Holy Knights were frozen, and even if Udias and Martha came to the rescue, only half of them survived in the end, and most of them suffered irreparable damage.

Seeing the loyal knights draped in frost, Udias's heart finally softened.

"I don't think it can go any further."

"This demon's nest was originally the place where the demonized people were going to use the blood sacrifice to open, but I was too anxious to force it open, attracting such a dangerous enemy, these children died because of me, and I must let their souls rest in peace."

"Your Excellency." The Holy Knights all knelt down, and although they were covered in ice crystals, they still did not hesitate to speak. "Our existence is your sword. Please don't care about our losses and move on. ”

"Hmph." Udias snorted. Look up into the depths of the dark waterways.

"My decision ......"

"Wait a minute." At this moment, Martha suddenly interrupted Udias's words and said with a smile. "Anyway, that guy was also beaten away by me, and it's impossible for him to harass us again for the time being, so there's nothing wrong with continuing to see. Don't forget that this is a long-abandoned demon's lair, and I think one Apshalas is the limit, and there is no possibility of more powerful demons. ”

"Hmm......" Udias muttered. And what you say has a point. ”

The Devil's Lair is not the same as the Devil's Lair, and there is a limit to the number of demons that can be accommodated. Judging from the amount of resources it has, it is difficult enough to accommodate a real name demon, and it is almost impossible to think of a stronger demon appearing. It's just that the underground waterways are originally an area where demons like to wander, and there are many dangers.

Udias thought about it, with his remaining strength and Martha's strength, there should be no problems, and then he acquiesced to Martha's suggestion.

So the team continued to move forward after collecting the corpses of the dead knights......

In the darkness, the procession squirmed like a serpent, and Martha crept up to Udias's side and spoke in a voice that only he could hear.

"It looks like it's not easy for you, boss."

"Huh?" Udias hummed a nasal voice from under his visor. Count as a doubt.

But Martha shrugged her shoulders unconcernedly. "Isn't it a very simple matter, with your life concentration, how can you be completely frozen by Apsalas? Even the muscle fibers are frozen, which means that you must be in a very bad state. Speaking of which, who knew that the demon hunter would be so powerful, a rookie who is not even at the awakening level, but he can hurt your essence. ”

"............" Udias was not born, but Chen Yan's cunning and fox-like fighting style flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his ribs.

There, the wound pierced by Chen Yan had not been completely closed, and it was faintly painful to the touch.

The physique of demon hunters is very perverted, because of evolution, their physical fitness can no longer be measured by human standards, more like a demon of the same level, as long as it is not a vital point and is hit hard, most of the damage is just a consumption of 'life concentration'. This is the essence of the witcher, and some things like the resistance to the negative state and the movement of the body itself are also related to the health concentration. That's why they are endowed with powers far beyond ordinary people. (You can understand it as the manifestation of life force, a physical and spiritual alienation.) )

Udias is a Heavy Knight, he always wears heavy knight armor, has strong defense, and will enter 'arming' after using a device, so he generally has little physical damage.

But all this was broken in the rookie named Chen Yan. Udias now remembered the chill under Chen Yan's fingers, as if a real scalpel had cut through his skin, even if he had a heavy armor to protect it. And the air bomb he used in the end went directly into his body, causing far more trauma than it appeared.

So don't look at Udias's appearance is intact, but his health concentration has decreased a lot at the moment, if you really treat this as a game, you should see that Udias's 'health bar' has been reduced by half.

Health levels involve resistance and locomotion in witchers, so it's understandable that Udias would be plotted by Apsalas.

"My body really needs some rest."

After a moment of silence, Udias didn't intend to hide it from Martha. "So the next exploration, I'm afraid it will take your strength."

"How can I have that kind of strength, don't expect it." Martha said solemnly, looking like I didn't care.

But after a moment, she dropped a sentence.

"Give me a 10% payroll."
