Chapter 36: The Big Accident
The two ways of casting spells, divine power and mana, have their own merits, and it is impossible to talk about who is strong and who is weak. But there are times when divine power is much more convenient than mana — for example, now.
Mages transfer magic to each other, and the efficiency is generally relatively low. Unless both parties have undergone special training, everyone's mana fluctuates differently, and it costs a lot to transmit them to each other - for this purpose, mages have developed some special methods, such as spell pools. But in any case, it is very troublesome.
In contrast, when transferring divine power between clergymen, as long as the divine power is transformed into a pure state as much as possible, it can be transmitted in a way with relatively little loss. Just like what the priests of the Church of the God of Passion did just now, converting the divine power into holy light and then letting the panda absorb it, the transmission efficiency is very high.
Seeing this scene, the clergy of the other churches began to prepare silently.
The loss of interfaith transmission of divine power is naturally lower than that of the same church. But at this moment, everyone can see that helping Panda recover as much as possible can ensure that the crusade is won and the losses can be reduced.
In that case, is there anything else to consider?
Panda didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, and he was back on the front lines of the fight.
This time, he used his divine power cautiously, and there was no more wasteful behavior. What morale-boosting effect and so on...... Don't do it at all, just gather your strength and use it only at the critical moment of slaying the monster as much as possible.
The two-handed greatsword infused with divine power once again showed its edge, although it was not as golden as it was at night, and it did not have the power of cutting the monster in half with a sweep of the sword, but for the monster, cutting the neck in half, or disemboweling the belly, was actually already a fatal injury, and there was no need to be so exaggerated as cutting it in half.
The panda, who had regained his strength, suddenly had a big advantage in the face of the demonic beasts that were already a little tired in the middle of the night, and in just four or five minutes, three demonic beasts died under his sword one after another.
At this time, there were only twelve or thirteen remaining demonic beasts.
(No problem!!If you have this amount, you can win!)
Jaime stood on the podium, watching the battle on the front line, and the frown that had been frowning finally relaxed a little.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the mage group in charge of investigation.
"Something is wrong!" a mage looked at a large black shadow that suddenly appeared on the crystal ball, and shouted, "There is a very powerful demonic beast here!
Awesome Warcraft?!
Everyone looked at each other, in shock.
The crusade has been fought for so many days, and the demonic beasts around the entire Wolf's Den Lake have supposedly been lured over and killed again and again, where can there be any "powerful demonic beasts"?
But the results of the investigation will not deceive, and as time passes, many people have clearly felt that the aura coming from the direction of Wolf's Den Lake, powerful and hideous, violent and chaotic.
Indeed, an extremely powerful demonic beast is coming!
Of course, the panda also felt it, and he frowned and hurriedly sped up.
Although I don't know the origin of the demonic beast that is coming, there is no doubt that everyone needs to do their best when facing it. If we can kill these last few monsters before then, we can at least avoid the dilemma of fighting on both sides.
However, there was no good thing in the world that could be accomplished, and even if he broke out with all his strength again, the other crusading soldiers also fought with the same idea, and before the beast arrived, they only had time to kill nine more beasts.
There are still three remaining monsters.
However, time is running out.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and the sound was like muffled thunder.
A huge figure almost higher than the wall of the crusade barracks, with an astonishing speed that was completely incommensurate with the seemingly bloated physique, rushed all the way and stopped about a hundred meters away from the crusade barracks.
The creature was covered in thick scales, with a fish-like torso, a lizard-like head, and tortoise-like limbs, with a long tail trailing behind him. The characteristics of the dragon species are evident from the horns on either side of its head and its characteristic mouth.
"Water Dragon ......," a middle-aged adventurer who had been fighting so far whispered not far behind the panda.
His voice was low and painful, like a moan.
He was not the only one who made such a noise at this time, almost everyone in the crusade army wanted to groan in pain.
"The monsters in the Wolf's Den Lake...... How did they get ashore?" Jaime was dumbfounded, and cried out, "Didn't they never go ashore!"
The old knight beside him was also dumbfounded, and shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible! They haven't been ashore for so many years, how can they go ashore today? How can there be such a coincidence!"
In the governor's tent at the center of the crusade camp, the white-haired governor listened to the intelligence officer's breathless report, his face sank like water, and he asked, "Could this be someone behind the trouble?"
"Unlikely, the water dragon is not an ordinary dragon species, and it is very arrogant. It's not easy to command it. One of the staff, who also had white hair, said, "You want to lure it in...... I can't think of any benefit to be gained. Whether the water dragon kills us, or we kill the water dragon, we can't see who can benefit. ”
"Is it possible that a conservative or a reformist is doing?" the Governor asked.
The staff immediately shook their heads: "They don't have the ability to do this! If they really have the ability to lure and even tame the water dragon, just with this merit, an earl is indispensable, so why waste it?"
The Governor nodded slightly, his brow furrowed.
He wasn't worried that the crusading army would be wiped out by the water dragon - no matter how powerful the water dragon was, after all, this was land and not water, it might make the crusading army suffer heavy losses, or even one out of ten, but if it really didn't work, even if some people were left behind, and others had to retreat, it was still possible.
It's just that...... The demonic beasts in the Wolf's Den Lake came ashore, and this matter was far more worrying to him than a mere water dragon.
"Perhaps...... It's time to consider asking the royal capital to send a strong man to clean up the entire Wolf's Den Lake...... It's more than we can handle......"
The Governor muttered to himself and sighed deeply.
Just when everyone was talking, the remaining three demonic beasts suddenly threw down their opponents who were still fighting, turned their heads and ran away, even if they were shot in the buttocks, they had no intention of turning back and fighting again.
Looking at the way they fled in a hurry, it was clear that they were threatened. It's just that...... Who threatened them?
Everyone's eyes were on the water dragon.
If you want to threaten these monsters, no matter how you look at it, only it can do it.
The water dragon did not respond to people's gazes, it seemed to be a little sleepy-eyed, a pair of huge eyes seemed to be open and closed, slowly swept around, and finally landed on the three fleeing monsters.
In the next moment, its tail was pulled out at an alarming speed, and with a sweep, it pulled the three demonic beasts into rolling gourds, spurting blood and rolling out, rolling out near the camp of the crusading army in one breath, and finally disappeared into the weeds in the distance, without a trace in sight.
The three powerful demonic beasts that have been able to fight fiercely with the crusading army so far are completely vulnerable in front of it.
