CH.34 A Battle Without a Chance of Winning
It is worth noting that there is a conspicuous red area in the demon's body, like a bright red gem embedded in the azure crystal, which constantly changes with the angle.
"Manual, is the red crystal in the center of the blue demon its weakness?"
Xia asked coldly in his mind.
"Yes."
A word appeared on the manual.
"If so, why didn't you just sue me!"
Summer is on fire.
"The monster was invisible just now, and you didn't see its entity, so you can't analyze it."
"Good."
Xia sneered, didn't ask anything more, and slashed at the aqua blue monster with the black long knife!
"Shhhh
The monster didn't move, seeing that the blade was about to slash its blue body, but its entire body suddenly blurred, and appeared half a meter away from it as if it was teleporting, and at the same time the two legs attacked like lightning!
"I'm here!"
Lorraine flew and pounced on the monster, attracting its attention, and the monster paused, and instead of continuing to attack Xia, he turned around and poked Lorraine's wound with a knife-like body, as if he felt that Lorraine was more threatening.
Obviously, this is a demon with a very high sanity, and can see both the strength and weakness of the enemy, and also understand where the opponent's weakness is.
Lorraine took a deep breath, his chest sank, and as soon as his whole body turned, the angle of attack immediately changed, and the dagger slashed through an arc, which could be slashed at the sharp foot!
"Shhhh
The demon's form blurred again, and the dagger that was bound to hit was slashed into the air.
Then it appeared on Lorraine's back, and the sharp limbs were thrust into his vest!
"Poof!!" Lorraine spurted out a mouthful of blood, after all kinds of harsh cultivation, the muscles on his back were extremely hard, but they didn't block the extremely sharp claws, the foot sank into his back, a blood flower shot out, and then the whole person was lifted into the air by the demon.
"How is that possible?"
Xia and Daro were stunned:
What kind of monster is this?
Can you teleport in battle?
Darrow reacted quickly, and immediately unleashed an attack spell, this spell that gathered powerful arcane power hit the foot that grabbed Lorraine, and it seemed that because he couldn't teleport by grasping people, Manticol was hit head-on for the first time in a battle with the trio, but only his body shook a little.
It didn't seem to make a sound, it didn't wail after the trauma, it shook its limbs, and Lorraine's body fell to the ground, and Darrow immediately went over to cover it.
"Classmate Xia, we'd better retreat quickly, we can't win this terrible monster at all, even if we add those people outside!"
He raised his staff with one hand and said to Xia anxiously.
"Instructions, what is the monster's arcane resistance?"
Natsu asked in his mind.
"Arcane 60% reduction".
She didn't question why she didn't fully reveal the attributes at the beginning, because she already vaguely understood something, and even if she asked, it would be useless.
"HP (HP), MP (Mana), Defense, Attack, Special Skills and Introduction, all show me!"
Natsu gave the order with anger.
The instruction manual seemed to shudder, but at the end it showed a few lines of jΓΉ.
"Attack power unknown? Unknown HP? Mana is unknown...... Special Skills & Introductory ...... No? β
Xia saw the few lines on the manual, and laughed angrily:
Do you think it doesn't work to deceive yourself, so you just start cheating?
"What is the level of this monster?"
"LV87, it belongs to a quasi-boss-level demon."
This time, the manual shows the answer.
"The difference is not more than 10 levels, why can't the specific number jΓΉ be displayed!"
Natsu put the long black knife in front of her, the only defensive stance she knew in her poor combat experience, and asked sharply in her mind.
ββ¦β¦β
This time, the instructions trembled even more, but nothing was written on them.
"Xia, raise the blade up a little and keep the blade low, so it's easier to counterattack after defending."
Lorraine had already stood up from the ground on his own, the corners of his mouth, lower abdomen, and back were covered with blood, and he was struggling to walk, but he had not forgotten to point out the mistakes in Natsu's movements.
Natsu's eyes turned red.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that she's being attacked, but for the first time, she thinks Lorraine is a person...... What a good guy!
If it weren't for the current situation, maybe the two could become very good friends, or brothers in life and death! But the reality is so cruel, she can't sell herself because she is like-minded.
"What's the takeaway from the full moon slash?"
She took a breath and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Rotate your body, put the blade behind you, your legs one in front and one behind, bend in front, straighten as far as possible in the back, then turn your right arm away, control the up and down direction and grasp the strength with your left hand, and finally cut out diagonally from the lower left!"
Lorraine didn't ask her why she was learning moves now, but gritted her teeth and said the essentials.
"Good, that's it!"
Seeing that Xia had put on the right pose in the next instant, Lorraine was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"Drink!!"
Natsu kept dragging the knife and rushed towards Manticor, who was slowly moving not far away!
"Shhhh
The aqua blue demon teleported without hesitation and appeared behind Natsu's right.
But before it could swing its limbs to make an attacking action, the circular sword light formed a curtain of light, slashing heavily on its outstretched limbs!
"Click!"
How could that A+-class demon with a physical attack that broke off in response to the sound and had a 2x damage bonus in physical attack be tougher than the tentacles of an S-class demon?
Effective!
Xia felt that the move he used just now was not hindered, as if it had been tempered a thousand times, and immediately confirmed that this body must have practiced sword skills!
"The Full Moon Slash is a large-scale slash, whether you teleport or quickly transfer, as long as the space for your action is enclosed, it is impossible to dodge!"
Although this demon was much smaller than the Minotaur and Raktoya, it was still much taller than humans, and how easy it was for such a large monster to avoid the range of the black long knife.
"My head!!"
At this moment, Darrow covered his head in pain, and an angry howl seemed to sound in his head, but nothing was heard in his ears.
At this time, the thousand bells on the ground also trembled, and many of them hung down the bell-shaped flowers at the top, and the branches and leaves kept vibrating, as if they were shivering.
"It must have been hit hard!"
Lorraine also covered his forehead with one hand, which should have been Manticor's mental concussion just now, and he attacked all creatures in a certain range indiscriminately.
"There are many types of demons that do not have flesh and body, but are made of all kinds of strange substances, and Manticor's body is full of that kind of blue body fluid, and its legs will not heal immediately after being cut off, so it is time to force it to bleed!"
Xia felt a tearing pain in his head, his body shook for a moment, and he thought quickly in his heart.
Then, without giving the other party a chance to breathe, she rushed in front of the monster and slashed out the full moon slash again!
"This trick is good for consuming the body."
After two consecutive large-scale slashes, Xia felt that the strength of his arm began to show some signs of instability, and his heart sank.
"Lorraine, come on!"
At some point, Darrow ran up to the big sword that had been thrown out and threw it at Lorraine.
The weight of that sword was really not light, but it was somewhat surprising that Daro, as a mage, actually threw it far away.
"Thank you."
Lorraine tucked the dagger-like dagger back into her waist and reached out to catch the greatsword.
"The players outside, all quit! Surround the hole. β
Natsu shouted loudly to the people in the passage.
"Retreat! Exit and go! β
"Line up and go back!"
Those members of the team were all people with actual combat experience, and they knew that something unpredictable might be going on inside, and two mages with high prestige began to shout, and everyone began to retreat in an orderly manner.
"Let's use the slash side by side and force it out!" Lorraine seemed to have understood Natsu's intentions, the beads of sweat on his body were dripping down, and he looked like he was enduring great pain, and a few words popped out from between his teeth.
Natsu looked at his wound worriedly and nodded.
Now is not the time for hypocrisy, if the three of them fall down in the cave, there is no doubt that the people outside will only end up with the whole army.
Darrow was right just now, this demon is not something that ordinary people can deal with at all, even if you add those people outside, it will only send everyone to death; Therefore, the three of them must win this battle!
"Summon a spirit creature - the Scimitar Rhinoceros of the Hanhai Sea!"
Darrow's staff spun in a circle, drawing a void circle, and soon the circle lit up, and a green behemoth slowly stepped out of it.
"Go, charge at that blue guy!"
Darrow pointed his staff at Manticol, who was trembling on the ground, and ordered the rhinoceros.
"Moo--!!"
The rhinoceros turned its head to look at him, as if it didn't understand what he was saying, but the staff's guidance made it lower its head and launch a fierce charge ahead!
"Natsu, you're on the left, I'm on the right, follow the rhinoceros and force it in the direction of the passage!"
Lorraine's eyes lit up when she saw Daro's rhinoceros.
He couldn't be more aware of this friend's strength, Darrow is definitely a neglected person in the school, because he is so low-key in terms of spells, no one knows that his real strength is actually in summoning!
Don't forget, Darrow's father is the Grand Duke of Transylasia, the Spiritual Duke known for his summoning!
"Shhhh
The blue demon suddenly moved.
Not only did it not retreat, but its body blurred for a while, and after a few quick flashes, it slammed into the rhinoceros summoned by Darrow!
"Boom!!"
After a loud bang, the body of the blue demon passed through the body of the huge rhinoceros and came to the middle of Xia and Lorraine, while the green rhinoceros swayed, and its body slowly faded and disappeared.
"Impossible! This is an A-class summoned creature, how could it be ...... all at once" Daro's eyes were full of disbelief.
60% off Arcane!
Xia said secretly in his heart.
Weakened to such an extent, this rhinoceros may have fallen to the level of about B rank when facing Manticor, and it is not surprising that it was scattered by the opponent with a single blow.
"Damn monster, come and kill me!"
Lorraine raised his greatsword with both hands, jumped into the air, and slashed diagonally downward! This is different from the Rock Slash that goes straight up and down, it is a 180% area slash below, and the Blue Demon teleports twice in a row to his rear, drawing a blood line on his body again.
"Lorraine!!" Seeing his friend's continuous injury, Daro's eyes were covered with red bloodshots, and the staff in his hand trembled again and again, and one spell after another blasted towards Manticor, but it was easily avoided one by one.
Xia reluctantly launched a full moon slash against Manticol several times on the side, but the other party was obviously wary of her, and her torso did not get too close to the attack range of the black long knife, but only used her feet and limbs to slash over her head and feet from time to time in the distance, avoiding the mid-level slash.
And her long black sword, though lighter than the greatsword, had much worse arm strength than Lorraine; After using three large-scale slashes in a row, her hands had begun to become numb, which was a sign of poor blood flow, and if she continued like this, she would soon not be able to lift her weapon.
"Ding!"
Lorraine was also in a bad situation, he was bleeding so much that he fell to his knees on one leg after an attack, holding his body with his sword, barely falling.
"My clothes?"
At this critical moment, Xia's clothes suddenly broke through a hole, and something inside fell out, revealing a piece of white skin.
The thing was round, and after falling from her, it had boneled on the ground a few times, and it had stopped there, it was the yellow round stone.
