Chapter 1038: An Enemy from the Abyss
"It's ......" Lightning's eyes widened and his speed slowed down.
The hordes numbered in the thousands, forming a wide black carpet across the snowfield, and their surging bodies reminded her of ants eating corpses.
This time, however, they are not faced with corpses at their mercy, but against the equally brutal devil.
The skeletal monsters of the Miracle Building moved slowly through the herd, as if they were being pushed by the enemy's onslaught, but with each kick it landed, several of the beasts that had no time to avoid were trampled into meat sauce - compared to its size, the four twisted long legs were as slender as tree branches, but the little girl knew that if you looked closely, the monster's limbs were probably thicker than Lady Agatha's mage tower.
Many mad demons clinged to its belly, condescendingly launching waves of spear-throwing attacks, and the evil beasts could only stubbornly move forward, and it was difficult to make effective counterattacks.
"Magical Parasite".
She couldn't help but think of the title.
The deformed devil between the living and the dead, with no fixed form, lodges like a sarcoma between the skeleton and the black stone, relying on magic to attack or act - the new spider demon in the battle of Wangbeipo, and the behemoth in front of him now, are likely to belong to the same type of devil.
No matter how sharp the fangs were, smashing on the stones was basically an end, and the helpless evil beast herd could only bypass those skeleton monsters and attack the main force in the rear.
Without the walls to cover it, it should have been a vicious battle.
However, the beasts that have fallen into the frenzy may have an advantage against unarmed humans, but they are obviously a little powerless against the madmen who are extremely powerful and fast. Although there are many hybrids among them, the Devil side has also placed the Helllords, Siege Beasts, and Spider Demons at the front of the front. The speed at which they killed the mixed species was hardly much slower than that of the First Army, and it was clear that the number of evil beasts was several times greater than that of the devil, but the latter had the upper hand in momentum.
Probably noticing that her speed had slowed down, Maisie poked her head out again. Seeing such an amazing scene, she couldn't help but gasp.
"The beast is at war with the devil?"
"This is probably the reason why Evil Moon Neverwinter is so calm this year. "But there's one thing that's very strange—don't those Tachiragu witches say that the beasts always come looking for the relics of the gods, and if I were the Devil King, I wouldn't have brought them to this wasteland, where there is nothing." In other words, there should be another reason why they are gathered here. It's a pity that Sylvie can't go with us, otherwise he would have been able to gather more information. ”
Maisie tilted her head, "And are you going to surprise them?"
"Of course!" said Lightning without hesitation, "We're so close to the ruins of Tachira, and the fact that the dinosaurs haven't come looking for trouble means they can't spare any effort to pay attention to their surroundings. This is a great opportunity for us. ”
There is no doubt that both the devil and the evil beast are the enemies of His Majesty Roland, and if this group of monsters can fight more fiercely, it can also relieve some pressure on the expedition plan after the beginning of spring.
She estimated the mana in her body a little, and if she flew faster than the sound, she would be able to hold on for about three to four minutes - to be on the safe side, leaving half of the mana for escape was perfectly safe, and the remaining two minutes were crucial if she wanted to shake the devil's defenses.
The little girl set her eyes on the skeleton monster.
From a distance, these massive, misshapen structures resemble crooked-legged benches, and their bodies are made of flattened blackstone skeletons, similar to the glider runways His Majesty has built on the east coast, making them ideal low-altitude targets.
According to the results of the aptitude test, the lower her altitude above the ground, the more damage she will cause when flying, and if she can glide close to the enemy's body, the madness in the abdomen will definitely be affected.
Since the high-level awakening, she has been forcibly pulled by His Majesty to instill a bunch of high-speed flight principles, and has also learned that the energy detonated when crossing the sound barrier has a great relationship with body size, if the person who surpasses the speed of sound in the sky over Neverwinter on the day of awakening is Maisie, I am afraid that the people of the whole city will suffer.
Therefore, the little girl had no intention of defeating the devil in one fell swoop.
All she had to do was let the madman pause his attack.
Due to the fact that the skeletal monster is directly below the death zone, the evil beast group has to avoid it to the sides, which greatly hinders its advance speed. Without these unscrupulous enemies, the Devil's rear line of defense would have been under even greater pressure.
Even if the plan didn't work out in the end, it wouldn't have any impact on her.
After making her decision, Lightning pressed Maisie's head into her arms and swooped down towards the closest skeleton monster to her!
At that moment, she had completely forgotten Roland's advice.
No one can catch the tail of the sound, it's time to show each other real flying skills!
Kilometers were fast approaching, and by the time she appeared above the battlefield, she had already entered the realm of silence.
But that's just in her opinion.
And in the eyes of the devil, there was a sudden roar of rolling thunder in the sky, and it continued to press towards the earth - it was the detonation caused by the collision of the front and rear shock waves, when the lightning changed direction and swept five meters above the skeleton monster, the blooming shock wave made the snow suddenly turn into a cloud of white mist, almost enveloping the entire body of the monster, and the deafening explosion also made the devil let out a painful roar!
But she didn't have time to observe the effect, and there were five identical targets waiting for her on the battlefield.
Just as he was about to fly over the third skeleton monster, a mutation suddenly appeared!
No one noticed where it came from, but the moment it stood there, it instantly grabbed all her attention—even though the distance between the two was far away, the lightning felt so cold that even his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
It was a devil, but it had a very similar appearance to a human, and there was almost no difference except that the skin was blue. The facial features are tall and extraordinary, and the golden pupils seem to be deeper than the abyss of hell. Just looking at him, Lightning was like a frog being targeted by a poisonous snake, and he felt instinctive fear from the bottom of his heart.
What a monster this is!
She could feel the magic surging in the other person's body, and its strength even distorted the vision around her—this sense of oppression was almost tangible, and she seemed to be stuck in a sticky quagmire in the high-speed flight, and she was getting closer to it.
Escape!
Run!
The consciousness in her mind was warning her that she couldn't fly anymore and that she had to run away immediately!
But her body couldn't move at all, as if it was completely out of her control.
And the devil slowly raised his right arm towards her.
At this moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from her chest!
It's as if someone has driven a nail straight into her body—
It's Maisie!
As the pain flowed through her body, her limbs instantly returned to her control, and even the passage of time returned to normal.
The lightning suddenly pulled up and scurried upwards, escaping as fast as he could, and flew in the direction of Neverwinter without looking back.
