Chapter 114: Rivals
The passage was filled with the smell of long-standing habits, death and predation were the only things that could be thought of by those who entered, and the battle spirit of anger and old enemy affection made Tarrant full of power, and the halberd rushed into the darkness.
An earth spirit stood directly in front of him, staring at the suddenly emerging knight with a confused gaze, arms hanging at his sides.
The stupid thing will not make defensive actions before receiving the attack order, there is no need and there will be no mercy for this creature Tarrant, the halberd stabbed its body like lightning, the earth spirit did not resist, let the halberd tip penetrate the body lightly, Tarrant held the halberd and rushed two steps, the entire halberd tip rushed out from the back of the earth spirit, the monster's body fell to the wall of the passage with a shake, Tarrant pulled out the war halberd, and the wound of the corpse was filled with a fresh fishy smell.
He examined the environment he was in, a wide bend, there was no threat on the front and back for the time being, the gargoyle had long since disappeared, Tarrant could distinguish the smell of pine oil from his breath, it seemed to go to the right, he lowered his voice towards the big hole in the ground and said, "Come out, the spirit sucking monster hasn't discovered us yet." ā
Rex sprang out of the cavern, briefly looking around his surroundings before crouching down to catch Katrina's hand.
"Rex, do you think we should follow the gargoyle or go this way?" Tarrant stood on both sides, asking his teammates for advice.
"Do you recognize the distribution of functions on both sides?" Rex pulled Katrina up, and Kitty jumped off the slope with her.
"No direction, the gargoyle should be flying that way, if you follow the gargoyle's trail, there is a danger of being surrounded", Tarrant kept his voice low, he felt a smell from his old enemy, but the smell of blood made it difficult for him to determine.
A tall black figure burst out from the edge of the firelight, and its majestic right arm swung its fist at the nearest Katrina, "Earth Spirit!" Rex's chainchain struck suddenly, and the red chaintail hit the huge fist sending out a string of flames, and from the bones of the fist let out a chilling "click", and the phalanges were broken.
Stunned by the sudden sight, Katrina couldn't react to the slightest thought of dodging, and Tarantra grabbed her robe and dragged it back, "Kitty protects the mage!" The halberd turned and slashed across the passage to meet the earth elves.
The bone-chilling pain that should have been felt was not reflected in the stupid earth spirit, and its left arm was then raised high above the priest's head, and Rex committed to dodging it, and the halberd that flashed from his side pierced the earth's mouth, and as the halberd pulled out a large stream of blood, the ferocious expression permanently rested on its face.
The other earth spirit stepped on the corpse of his companion and rushed out, his arms spread out to cover the entire width of the aisle, this posture of the earth spirit was tantamount to suicide, it had been strategically abandoned by its master, its only role was to exchange its own life for a powerful blow to the invader, it would not be allowed to succeed, Tarrant took a step back, "Rex dodge!" The halberd fearlessly rushed forward, he was confident that he would deal with it before the earth spirit rushed.
The ground shook slightly, and the earth spirit rushed straight towards the sharp halberd tip, without any hesitation before death, Tarrant's hands were ready to collide, and his brain suddenly ached, his consciousness was intermittently separated, and his hands trembled.
The black arm smashed into his face like a boulder, and Tarrant's entire face was completely and completely hit, and the impact caused him to fly disorderly through the passage, and he didn't even know if he had hit the dirt or his teammates, compared to the punch that the gargoyle had just sent was a tickle.
There was no time to enjoy the burning pain in his face, Tarrant quickly turned over and stood up, leaning against the passage, ready to accept the second round of attacks from the earth spirits, what he didn't expect was that the earth spirits actually stopped in front of him in a triangle with the war halberd, it poked itself to death, Tarrant reached out and wiped it on his face, the bridge of his nose cracked in sharp pain, and he couldn't help but scream.
There was a slight "sizzle" in front of the passage, it was them, it was because of their psychic interference that he was hit in the face, Tarrant rushed forward to grab the halberd, and pulled it back hard, and the earth elf's body lost its support and rolled to the side.
Lying face up at the entrance of the cave, Rex's face covered in blood, unconscious under the double attack of the Psychic Explosion and the Earth Spirit, Tarrant had no time to care about him, and the other two teammates behind him were in an even worse situation, their eyes glazed, their expressions were dazed, and they were about to appear!
The ugly and familiar figure spoke behind the corpse of the earth spirit, and Tarrant's consciousness was blurred and split, an invisible force tore at his spirit, as if to tear his and his soul in half, after so many years of sharpening, Tarrant was still powerless in the face of this spiritual control, his hands abandoned the halberd and held his head in pain, and his mouth snorted incoherently screaming.
A crooked body moved from the opposite side, its withered black-brown hands swaying in the air, wet tentacles sliding along its chin, its gaze fixed on Tarrant, a genderless voice that went straight to Tarrant's consciousness: stand up.
The sharp pain in Taran's deliberate mind suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if the torture just now had never appeared, and the words of that mysterious voice commanded him to stand up without resistance, and the black eyes on the other side ...... Like the deep, bottomless and terrible deep pool in his dreams, which can consume living creatures and souls together, Tarrant's fingers twitched slightly, his body was out of control, and he wanted to pick up the halberd...... Destroy the invaders for the master......
"Very strong...... Light yƬ solves the soil spirit ...... You can do more for your master......" The mysterious voice seemed to communicate with him and seemed to be talking to itself, "You can prolong your life by fighting......"
The psychic power was secretly activated, and Tarrant's deepest consciousness gradually revived, and the will to judge allowed him to learn to preserve his residual self in the accused, and he was surprised by the words of the spirit-absorbing monster, as if it was intending to use him as a slave, no matter what, its death was doomed, and Tarrant curled his fingers slightly, confirming that the control of his body had returned to his hands.
The Psionic continued to struggle with slow steps, only to stop twisting when it was only one step away from Tarrant, "Slave...... Where did you come from......
The voice was so authoritative and irresistible that even in self-awareness, Tarrant replied, "Underground Temple." ā
"How many of you ......"
Thinking of the other three members of the team, thinking of Katrina, Tarrant was refreshed, and he had the motivation to resist.
"How many of you ......," the psionic monster repeated.
Filthy creatures, your ugly life should be over!Tarrant punched his "master" On the head, a jet-black liquid splashed out of the ball, and before the mental explosion reappeared, Tarrant immediately swung three punches, each faster than the other, each stronger than the other, the body of the spirit sucking monster fell to the ground lightly after the fourth punch, the collision of cartilage did not make a sound, the destruction of the old enemy made Tarrant's will provoke a stronger battle, he picked up the halberd and stabbed it into the body of the spirit sucking monster and split it in two, black blood stained the ground of the passage.
This didn't give Tarrant any sense of satisfaction, he needed more archenemy targets to vent, the "sizzle" sound sounded just in time, and in front, Tarrant raised his halberd and strode over the two corpses on the ground, "Maxine's punishment is coming!"
