Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 141 Stalling for Time
Although she swore that the beast would not come to eavesdrop on their plans, Reins was not really completely convinced of this. [No pop-ups. After removing the barrier, she pretended to look at the beast nonchalantly, and of course, she couldn't see anything.
Maybe the beast did keep its dignity, but maybe it knew everything, but it didn't show it on the surface, and these things were not known to her, so she didn't care about it anymore and prepared for the difficult battle that would follow.
I don't know if it's because the soul fragment doesn't have full control over the beast's body, so it can't open its mouth to speak—or maybe the beast itself doesn't have the ability to speak. If it wanted to communicate with them, it had to do so through spirits, and Reins didn't want it to invade her brain again, which wasn't a good experience.
The beast that had been cut off from communication showed no signs of anger, it just watched their efforts as if they were rats teased by cats, and despite their desperate struggles, they could not escape from its palms.
But that's just its self-righteousness.
Rhines narrowed her eyes slightly, whether or not the monsters knew what they were planning to do, Apaya's safety was the top priority. There was a lot of special magic in the aspect of soul symbiosis, and even though she had never used it before, she knew about it somewhat.
Anyone with some knowledge of magic knows that two souls can share pain and hurt for each other, but no one knows exactly what to do. The terms in the magical texts are as vague as lyrical essays, but for those who have "Fili", those words will automatically turn into the correct spells and imprint them in their heads.
In order to prevent the recurrence of inexplicable events like the previous ones, Reins deliberately recalls those spells and excavates a record that is not the most perfect, but the most suitable for the current situation. When Apaya is attacked, the damage falls on her first, not Apaya. This was not her own initiative, whether she wanted it or not, as long as the magic worked, it would become a given fact that the outcome had already been decided.
Relying on the advantage that only she could do this magic, even a well-learned engineer would never be able to learn in a short period of time, Reins simply told Apaya about the consequences of this magic, and asked him to weigh the situation himself.
Judging by Apaya's countenance, such a "threat" is very effective. Out of her protection, it was absolutely impossible for Apaya to put himself in danger because of something inexplicable—much to Rheins's satisfaction.
Rhines and Lillian walked together in front of the beast, with Ella and Bora behind them, one left and one right, surrounding Illian in the middle, with Sirua, Ticharo, Shuka, and Imi walking last. To the left of the Phillips are the two priests of the Church, Kate and Met, while on the right are Boe and his companions.
"Let's reluctantly accompany you to relieve your fatigue." Reins spun her bǐ shǒu in her hand, raised her head slightly and said to the beast, "You know, our time is also precious, and it would be a pity to waste too much time with you." ”
As soon as her words fell, everyone present clenched their hearts. The beast couldn't speak, but it still let out a strange breath from its throat, and it was barely clear from its somewhat distorted face that it was smiling, but it was really impossible to get close to it.
Even if she didn't listen to what it was saying, Reins knew it was laughing at her hubris. It's also easy to understand – humans wouldn't believe a few ants at their feet claiming to exterminate humans. But they didn't care what the beast was thinking right now, all they had to do was get the beast's interest and make it willing to drag on with them for a while so that Apaya could make more, more progress.
The human race is to be started by Rhines and Lilian. Both of them consciously channeled the aura of "gifts" in their bodies to swim through their bodies, and slowly diffused into the surrounding air. They crouched back slightly, and then at the same time they jumped up like a bullet at the beast's head.
The blades of the two of them struck the beast's eyes with magnificent colors, and at the same time, Bora's summoned beast swept above them, blocking them from the white mist that erupted from the beast's mouth. Sirua and Ticharona's rapid bursts of special bullets temporarily trapped the beast's claws, which showed only signs of lifting.
Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Silua and Ticharo, Pat's greatsword slashed hard, and the attacks of Smofa and Mette followed. After one of their onslaughts had imprisoned the claw on the ground, Kate took over the burden of defense, defending the claw that shifted the direction of the attack to them at the front.
Boe and his companions attacked the other front paw. Their battle intentions were very obvious, these two groups of people were to contain the claws of the attacking monsters, and the head of the monsters was dealt with by Rheins.
Although this does not mean that Warcraft loses its ability to fight, it is at least a constraint. As a fragment of a soul, it is unable to use large-scale magic in its normal state, but to the extent it can be used, it is at the level of a top magician among humans.
"Why is his skin thicker? Didn't you destroy the protective film of the monster when you woke it up just now? ”
Sirua grumbled as he fired several bullets in a circle around the beast's head at a strange angle. Although it hit the target and bloomed with the light that represented the Forbidden Demon Enchantment, it didn't seem to have any real impact on the Beast.
"We can only let it cause a temporary lòu dòng, and of course it will not continue to maintain after the goal is achieved." Reins replied impatiently, "As for the reason why it's thicker now—don't tell me you've forgotten that souls can strengthen the body. ”
In fact, that's what Roseos taught them. In addition to the adaptability and flexibility of action, a body with a soul will be affected by the soul and become more tenacious, and can also have the characteristics of a soul.
For example, in her normal state, Elian's body is better able to perform healing magic, and she can also receive more healing effects herself. Lilian's body muscles, on the other hand, are able to exert the power of her attacks to the fullest, and can also defuse the damage she has received, making her more resistant to falls.
The body of the monster in front of him is made of lifeless materials, and it itself will not be affected, but the liquid defense layer on its surface is composed of magic power, and magic power is the most intuitive existence that can be affected by the soul. Previously, they were able to open a gap in their defenses only because the soul had not fully awakened, but now that the defense had been completely affected by the soul and made it even more difficult to breach—and that was only an unintentional effect of the breath of that soul fragment.
"Hey." Sirua snorted disdainfully, "Even if that's the case? It's just a fragment of a soul, and it can't do as well as a full soul, look at me. ”
Sirua's ambition was not rewarded with Rheins's praise, and the silver-haired mercenary didn't even give him a look. She and Lilian just launched a series of attacks against the Monster, trying to use the "Gift" in different ways to weaken the Beast's defenses.
The monsters stared at them unmoved, as if everything they had done was in vain. It even looked bored to the point of wanting to sleep, but it still seemed to feel a little uncomfortable when Silua and Ticharo attacked it. Lillian's "bounty" axe could also get it up the heat to fend off with an attack, but Rhine's side didn't even interest it in defense.
The "God's Gift" on Rhine's body is similar to the nature of "Filly", and that "Gift" has been lodged by "Filly" for a long time, and most of its energy has long been destroyed and swallowed, so it can play a very weak role. If this continues, I'm afraid that the little bit of interest in Warcraft that is not much bigger than the tip of a needle will be exhausted.
Rheins' eyes narrowed slightly, she put away her bǐ shǒu and pulled out the sickle instead. The scythe was given to her by Maivotos, the product of Rossos's research, and like Lilian's axe, Ella's cane pipe, and Bora's flute, they were specially crafted from special materials to match their characteristics and match the power of the "bounty".
Although because of Mai Wotos herself, Reins doesn't have much affection for this ǔ qì, and every time she uses it to fight, it always makes her mood worse, but she has to admit that its power is far greater than any other weapon, it is like a part of her, so it is easy to use.
The current situation did not allow her personal vendetta to make her give up more powerful attacks, and she had reduced the frequency of using the scythe in order to regain her new self, so now she could hold it back in her hands again for the sake of her future self. The scythe also seemed to be able to sense her mood, and it roared slightly with the aura of "gift", blooming with an amazing momentum.
This also made the Warcraft finally willing to pay a little attention to her, and the previous state of the Warcraft that could lose interest at any time and devour them in one bite really made people's hearts hang high. Of course, this is only a temporary measure, and if they don't show "Fili" in front of it, it will eventually lose patience very quickly.
According to their strategy, when the aura of the gods soaked in the "Gift" and Boe lost their appeal, Kate and Mette used the power of "Omano" to hang the appetite of the monster again, and tried to postpone the use of "Fili" - that ability Rheins had just used, and in terms of the stability of her soul, it was not suitable to use it again in a short period of time, even if she could not bear it at the last moment.
Now, everyone's hearts are silently praying for Apaya's success.
