Fifty-Eight - The Struggle of the Exploration Squad
The only ones who can do real damage to the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" are the shots of Akagi, Shozuru and others.
With Ai Weier barely parrying the attack of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" in front, Akagi and the others leaned against the cliff and continuously fired arrows at the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" one after another. It is also a fire-based attribute, and useless places such as "Burst Flame Arrow" are replaced by "Frost Arrow" with ice and snow effect, and even "Sharp Arrow", "Streamer Arrow" and other arrows rain down on the body of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf".
Needless to say, the "Sharp Arrow" cannot be completely inserted into the body of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf", and it will burn to ashes within seconds of being shot, but there is still a little bit of damage. As for the "Streamer Arrow" composed of energy throughout the body, there is no need to say much, it only has the effect of blowing. The focus is on the "Frost Arrow".
The "Frost Arrow" with the effect of ice and snow is not just as simple as carrying ice on the tip of the arrow, but as the name suggests, once it hits the target, the "divine energy" of ice and snow inside the arrow will burst in an instant, covering a small area with a layer of ice and snow! It's like frost, hence the name.
The Hellfire of the Infernal Wolf is so hot that even the ice and snow created by the Frostfall Bolt can't compete with it. However, as an arrow that condenses energy and then explodes in an instant, it is still possible to dye a snowflake on the body of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" in a very short period of time. In addition to having a certain strike effect on its own, it can also have the effect of slowing down the "Purgatory Demon Wolf", and more importantly, aiming at the moment when the temperature on the surface of the scale armor changes sharply, it bombards the scale armor that has lost the protection of the flames, which is the most effective damage so far!
In the state of "Mindlessness", it is not difficult to replenish a second attack immediately after firing "Frostfall Arrow". Each time Akagi draws his bow, there are four arrows, and when the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" is dyed with snow white everywhere, the four different arrows will definitely hit the place where the previous shot was hit, or the "sharp arrow" will be inserted into the body, or the "blunt arrow" will crack the scale armor, all in all, each shot must have a significant effect.
As for Xianghe and others, although in terms of the accuracy of archery, the density and speed of arrows, etc., they are not as good as Akagi. However, fighting the S-Rank "Purgatory Demon Wolf" can't be expected to kill it with one hit, so you can only reduce its physical strength little by little and add injuries If you talk about this little thing, then even Shozuru and other juniors can do it.
In this way, when Avril dodged left and right, Nelson and the others occasionally swung one or two "Sky Splitting Blades", and Akagi and the others rained down arrows, everyone had been fighting with the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" for more than a few minutes before they knew it.
The battle was carried out basically like this.
If the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" roared angrily and launched an attack towards Ai Weier, then Akagi and the others would rain down a round of arrows from the side, slightly interrupting the movements of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf", and also shooting the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" to croak, which is Ai Wei'er has already flashed far away.
If the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" finally couldn't stand the endless harassment of Akagi and the others, and wanted to turn around and attack them, then Avril slashed at the back, tail and other parts of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" with a fire-resistant saber, and at the same time blasted at the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" with the charged "Sky Splitting Blade" of Nelson and others. The three or four people's charged "Sky Splitting Blade", even if it can't cause effective damage, if you want to force the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" back for two or three steps, it's still okay. At this time, coupled with the "blunt arrows" shot by Akagi and the others, each arrow was like a big iron ball flying, and under the continuous impact, the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" couldn't take a single step, and there was Ai Weier harassing behind him.
After all, the injury from being slashed by the sword was still relatively large, and it was not a way to let Ai Weier slash behind him, and in the end, when he couldn't bear it anymore, the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" still had to turn around and go back to deal with Ai Weier first, and the above two formed a cycle.
Don't have any experience with S-Rank Calamity? It doesn't matter, there's no other way anyway, just fight in the usual and steady way.
Be cautious and win steadily. Akagi and the others are doing it step by step, but the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" is getting more and more angry.
There was no need to retreat, there was no threat to face him, there was no danger to his life. But they couldn't fight them, and they had been in a state of fighting since the start of the war, and the anger of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" also rose sharply!
Obviously, there was no enemy who was even one of his opponents, but the difference in numbers made it difficult for him to move forward. Even if you raise your hand, you will immediately be hit by a dozen attacks and lose your head, and as for wanting to charge forward, the attacks on the opposite side of the knee bend are already overwhelming, and you are suffocated before you can take a step.
The injuries on the body are not serious, but the physical strength is falling rapidly, under the blood-grinding and stalking tactics of Akagi and his party, the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" gradually became more breathing between attacks, and the action began to show signs of slowing down, if it can continue to be maintained, it is unlikely that the kill will be impossible, and it is not a dream to grind until the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" abandons the battle!
It's a pity
Although the physical strength of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" has dropped a lot, Ai Weier's physical strength is only worse than that of him!
As a human, Aver's physical strength was not as good as that of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf", and if she wanted to attract the firepower of the S-Rank Calamity Beast alone, it would be an impossible task beyond the limit. It's because she's the only one whose blade is fire-resistant, so she barely supports it to this day, but when people's energy is poor after all, even if they want to grit their teeth and hold on, it's powerless.
Shouldering the heavy responsibility of the shield, it is not possible to retreat directly from the battle line, and it is not realistic, however, Ai Weier's movements also began to become slower, and the dodge and dodge also began to become embarrassed, even with the support of Akagi and others, he was almost hit by the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" several times!
"I can't do that much!!"
Seeing that Ai Wei'er was in danger, it was no longer the time to worry that the weapon would be damaged.
Most of the weapons of the core members are after saving the resource points for a long time, and they are ruthlessly ordered from the Technology Development Bureau, and they have been strengthened all the way since then.
But
Weapons are valuable, but companions are even more valuable.
"Akagi, Xianghe, you continue to shoot, and the rest of the melee personnel will fight to protect them!" After muttering, Nelson drew his saber and, after giving instructions to the others, stepped forward and began to attack the "Infernal Wolf" with Alvier.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"
Seeing that Nelson, who had been staying aside, suddenly stepped forward and recognized her as one of the people who was always hindering his attacks, and he didn't care about Avril at the moment, the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" suddenly turned over, and the flaming claws had fallen from the sky towards Nelson!
Strength, weight, and air bonuses would have been instantly turned into meat sauce even if they were worn by the "Purgatory Demon Wolf", even if they were wearing the special combat clothes of the Thirteenth Fleet.
Knowing that he couldn't stop the attack, and didn't hesitate at the moment, Nelson rolled abruptly to the side.
In the next moment, the sharp claws of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" slapped to the ground with a strong wind, shaking the earth, shaking up countless sand and dust, and even Akagi and the others standing in the distance felt the shaking of the earth!
Finally dodging the onslaught of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf", the claws burning with green flames were in front of him, and he could feel a wave of heat rushing towards him! Once the distance between them and the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" is close, the whole person is as hot and unbearable as if he was in the middle of a volcano, and it is really hard to imagine how Avril survived the close fight with it.
After dodging the attack of the "Purgatory Wolf", Nelson's palm pressed to the ground, and his body immediately bounced with force.
The hellfire of the "Purgatory Demon Wolf" is untouchable, and even if it is burned, it can be removed with the "Frost Arrow", and the damage will definitely not be light, so it is impossible to get any closer.
As Nelson's mind moved, a silver-white light covered her blade, and in an instant, the saber in her hand was several times larger! It was originally an ordinary-sized saber, but now it is bigger than her whole person!
"The Blade of the God of War" is a high-level metaphorical skill that activates the mythical energy in the weapon, which increases the weapon's volume and sharpness by two or three grades in a short period of time. Although it is not a difficult skill to learn, it is usually used as a final blow considering that it requires several times the strength to swing a weapon when it becomes huge.
Because I couldn't get too close, I had to take out the trump card at the bottom of the box in advance. Wielding a blade higher than himself, Nelson held the knife in both hands and slashed at the hand of the "Purgatory Wolf" before he could retract without blinking!
P.S.1: Ahahaha, the boss battle that finally got to the prologue, so touching
P.S.2: Having said that seeing the book reviews in the book review section and knowing that the protagonist is strong is a question in many people's minds. But did no one really guess what I meant by calling the first volume a prologue? Even if you read the words of the author added in the first chapter, no one guessed?
