CHAPTER 9 THE CLIPPER TO NEOPOLIS EIGHTH
Griffith stared at the cracked hatch as she took out the potion potion Sonia had given her and drank it in one gulp. The Ice Armor technique in the Frost Spell was quickly upgraded to the second order.
Generally speaking, the promotion of enchantments can be obtained through study and practice, just as the Cadet Knights increase their strength and agility through training and combat. However, due to Griffith's obvious lack of learning and practicing spells, potion potions are the only way to use them.
Ice Armor has been rapidly improved, and Chill can now attach to clothing, armor, weapons, and body surfaces, increasing physical defense while dealing Freeze damage to enemies, slowing movement and attack speed. Compared to the first order, the duration is longer, and the frostbite and slowing effects are more obvious. Exactly how this will be done remains to be tested in battle.
At the same time, he gained a small amount of knowledge. Enchanted Ice Armor and Frozen Nova Ice Formations that have been upgraded to the second tier can continue to be promoted, but they require more units of potential potions, and even other potions.
Griffith put this matter aside for the time being, and did his best to deal with the enemy in front of him.
"Bang!"
The wooden hatch was knocked into pieces of splinters of wood and splashed out.
A group of unrecognizable sailors howled out of the cargo hold and pounced on Griffith.
Griffith stabbed the living corpse at the front with a sword. The blade pierced its eye socket and exited the back of its head. The impaled monster was suffocated by its actions, and it fell backwards with its head back.
The attack on the head still appears to be effective. Griffith sped across his left-hand cavalry shield, the sharp edge of which swept away the face of the living corpse that swooped down on one side like lightning, slashing it in two from the bridge of its nose.
Griffith, who had completed a full set of attacks, took a light half-step backwards, staggered the third ghoul pounce, and knocked it to the ground with a sideways slam.
......
Amber retreated upwards along the ship's ladder and met Second Boatswain Makarov through several decks, who immediately shouted: "Tell the captain to prepare for battle!"
"Great, there's the cabin!" said the second boatswain, gasping as he danced to Amber like a bear in a circus.
"You speak first. ”
"It's Quarksol! That bastard turned himself into a monster and ate poor Bowes!"
As soon as the words fell, a scream was already sounding overhead. Amber hurried onto the deck to find that an inhumanoid monster had rushed out of the passage of the cabin.
It wore a gorgeous coat that had been torn apart, and its whole body was swollen like a floating corpse that had been soaked in the sea for a week, waving its arms like seaweed.
The position of the fingers has become a cluster of poisonous snakes and reptiles, like tentacles. Countless snakes, maggots, worms, centipedes, and worms intertwined with each other, falling to the deck with the shaking of their hands, and then wriggling and fleeing into dark corners.
Its mouth, ears, nostrils, and all the crevices and holes in its body were pouring out in clumps of snakes and insects.
Amber had never seen such a terrifying monster, and couldn't help but take a step back.
Quarksol stretched out its terrifying tentacles and rolled up a panicked passenger. Endless poisonous snakes and worms immediately burrowed into the mouth, nose, ears and eyes of the victims. Immediately afterward, the captured passenger turned into pus like a molten candle and was absorbed into the terrifying tentacles.
"Wow!"
All the passengers who witnessed the horrific scene were terrified, and deafening screams echoed across the deck.
"The gods are above, how can there be such a monster! Amber quickly responded. Her form turned into a phantom, and in the blink of an eye, she rushed to the vicinity of Quarksol.
"Roar, not to turn and run away, but to face the great Quacsol head-on?"
The terrifying monster swept in with the curling tentacles of snakes and insects. It was as if the endless attacks had even obscured the field of vision, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city.
Instead of retreating, Amber threw herself at the tentacles, her sturdy body leaping lightly, unbelievably slapping shoulders with the tentacles, and throwing a punch through the gap towards Quarksol's face.
"Phew!"
Her attacks were precise and short, and Adamantite's gauntlet flashed with lightning arcs that injected into the left side of Quarksol's face at the moment of the blow.
The monster's head burst open like a rotten watermelon, and its ugly, twisted head was nearly shattered. Quarksol took a few steps back, but its body didn't seem to be weakened by the head injury, and dense shadows of madness flew everywhere, about to seal Amber's movements.
"Bang!"
With a strange popping sound, Quarksol suddenly found himself being pierced through his chest.
A gauntlet glowing with golden brilliance pierced his shattered body. A surge of energy and momentum was bursting into his limbs and tentacles.
"Oh-uh!" Quarkthor staggered back a few steps, and before it could understand what was going on, a long leg swept across it, splitting a huge crack in its fat waist, and a cloud of broken intestines, snakes, and pus flew out into the air.
What's going on?What's going on?How did she avoid my tentacles?In the hazy vision, Quarksol saw Amber's sturdy figure retract its stance, and the tentacles that covered the sky and the sun were scattered like dead branches and leaves in the wind.
Amber unleashed three strikes in an instant, destroying its head, piercing its chest, and nearly severing its waist.
"Good, such a powerful woman, what a power!
"But, now it's my turn!"
The tattered Quarksol suddenly smiled at the twisted and broken skull, and it opened its tentacles, grinning fiercely, and an invisible ripple spread.
"The great Quarksol is already a very poor life, and this level of physical damage is not taken seriously by me. ”
Powerful psionic fluctuations swept across, and several panicked passengers in the distance suddenly climbed over the guardrail and jumped headlong into the rolling sea.
As she was about to launch a second attack, Amber felt her brain suddenly become a mess and lose her balance, and she retreated again and again, turning around and leaning against the wall beside her, and felt uncontrollably sick and dizzy.
No matter how hard she struggled, she just couldn't get up and fight.
"Rich in nutrients, when I recover my body, when I recover my body, I will come and eat you. Quarksol crawled desperately towards the nearby cabin, and the tentacles of snakes and insects that had fallen on the deck rushed in one after another, and once again coalesced into a huge body, as natural as flowing water flowing into a stream.
"Whew, heh, consumed, consumed a lot of strength," Quarksol stood up again, "then, hurry up and eat that woman!"
It stared at Amber half-kneeling and strode towards her.
Just then, a sharp javelin flew over, striking Quarkthor in the left eye. The swollen troll's eyeballs burst open on the spot, oozing a green, fishy liquid.
"Stand down, monster. ”
With calm and majestic words, Amber found a heroic figure in front of her, and the disgusting strangeness was alleviated a lot.
"Griffith?" Amber covered her mouth, trying to stand up. But dizziness and nausea still dominated her body, and before she could straighten up, the violent vomiting and convulsions made her fall to her knees again.
"It turned out to be an aberration," the will of Minos of the Bone Ring appeared in Griffith's mind, as clear as the subtitles of an opera house, "and his essentia is precious. ”
"Is this a magic that exerts fear and vertigo? and it is range-based. Griffith looked at the chaotic deck and the passengers running everywhere, silently communicating with his ring, "I'm busy right now, if you have anything to say, hurry up." ”
"The body of the aberrant body and the growing snakes and insects are a complex parasitic structure, and although its unbroken brain is still dominating consciousness, there is almost no fatal damage in the whole body," Minos replied, "Through the essentia you provide, Minos can already provide more assistance, and if he finds the seal of the written text on his body, it will be very important to try to give it to Minos for study." ”
At this moment, some knowledge flooded Griffith's brain.
"Quarksol is a new aberration, its extraordinary characteristics are not yet stable, and it will always be affected by the negative state of unbalanced center of gravity, rational evaporation, and indiscriminate charging during battle. But that doesn't change the reality that the aberrant is a powerful monster. Its physical strength is close to that of the Sequence 7 Melee Extraordinary, dealing a lot of damage once it hits a target.
"It has special abilities including:
"Aberrations. Shattered and decaying flesh has an outwardly unimaginable ability to live, with little to no Achilles heel or functional mutilation, and after a major blow, the aberrant can quickly reunite and heal the body, but will lose more psionic energy and stamina.
"Devour. Prey killed by the aberrations will be rapidly dissolved and digested, either to repair the damage or increase the strength of the aberrations themselves.
"Horror. The extremely chaotic and distorted aura and the ugly and large appearance make it easy for the aberrant to prey, and creatures within a radius of 30 yards will be plunged into constant fear or confusion due to the appearance of the aberration, and the negative effects of fear will diminish over time. ”
Minos can already provide tactical intelligence!
This bone ring allows Griffith, who is unable to perform a certain spell configuration, to cast a certain amount of magic power, which has made it an extremely rare and precious magical item.
Ever since he started, Minos has been absorbing essentia constantly. This action did not compromise the value of the loot of the extraordinary properties, and Griffith never understood what the essentia it was absorbing, guessing that it was some kind of life information, or some fragment of information.
Surprisingly, Minos can already detect like a Crystal of Insight or an Eye of Vision, and provide tactical intelligence on targets, which adds another level of value.
It's such a good thing that you can't give up!
