Chapter 21: Meow's Weakness
There is no wind in the solemn atmosphere of the haunting woodland, and the fog obscures everything.
After a shrill meow, the ethereal fog gathered again. This is simply a prelude to the last attack.
Surrounded by the fog, everyone knew that the abominable Meow would emerge from the rising haze and launch a surprise attack on the target in its eyes.
In order to protect the Assassins, Naxi and Gonze surrounded Raikkonen, who was already seriously injured. Both of them were nervous, clutching their weapons tightly, waiting for the appearance of the fog beast Meow.
Since the fireball technique just now had no effect on the Mist Beast, Naxi immediately replaced it with another spell, a spell that might defeat the Haze. His eyes were fixed on the haze in front of him, for fear that he would miss the fleeting moment of change in the fog.
Compared with Naxi, Gangze was not psychologically prepared at all. After witnessing Meows's evil deeds and any physical attacks ineffective against it, the dwarves had no clue. In addition to worrying about his own safety, he was also worried about Lidona, who was led away by the fog beast.
Although he is confident in Lidona's skills, he is afraid that the captain who is in a fit of rage will fall for Meow's tricks and meet with him. If the strongest Lidona dies under the claws of the Mist Beast, then the rest of the people will probably not be able to withstand the Mist Beast's next attack.
The fog swirled and condensed again, and the huge gray cat head appeared in front of Naxi's eyes, and the huge cat's claws had been quickly shot out at the same time as he appeared, but the target was not Naxi, but the dwarf Gangze behind him.
The swift slap made Naxi completely unable to react, and the huge cat's claws directly slapped the dwarf out without back protection. After this blow was successful, the cat's claw quickly turned around and directly pushed Naxi aside, and with a low head bite, he directly picked up Raikkonen, who was already lying on the ground with serious injuries.
Naxi struggled to her feet, and before she could turn her head, she was swept away by Meowus's long tail and flew several meters away. Thankfully, the leaves on the ground were thick enough, and there were no stones or hidden stakes. With the help of the cushion of the heavy fallen leaves, Naxi rolled on the ground a few meters away before stopping, and did no harm.
By the time the two of them got up, Meow the Mist had already disappeared into the fog with Raikkonen.
"Raikkonen!" shouted the dwarf who had been the first to notice that Raikkonen was gone. Raikkonen inexplicably disappeared before his eyes, and the only answer was that he had been taken by Meows.
"Raikkonen!"
Gangze shouted in the woodland as he troted, and after a few steps he stopped again.
He wanted to rush into the fog and save Raikkonen from Meowus's mouth, but he was afraid that it was a trap for the fog beast and would make the lone Naxi his next target.
Seeing his comrades being taken away by the fog beast like this, the dwarf's heart was full of unwillingness and indignation. Although Raikkonen is usually silent, he has been with him for so long, and he has been born and died so many times, and he has long been like a brother. Watching the brother-like Raikkonen being taken away like this by Meows, how could this not make his heart ache?
The dwarf Gang Ze, who was tormented in his heart, held the axe in his hand even tighter. In the absence of Captain Lidona, he should take on the responsibility of captain and protect the rest of the people. Even if Naxi is left alone as a rookie, he will not leave him alone and run away.
Because it's an honor for an adventurer!
Besides, Gang Ze no longer wants to be the one who lives to the end, he already hates the feeling of all his companions falling and he is still alive alone.
Seeing the dwarf walk back with an angry face, Naxi, who was also heartbroken, trembled a little: "What should we do next." ”
Faced with the mist beast that appeared without a trace but at any time, he had no clue except to prepare the spell that could save his life at any time. He hoped that the experienced Gangze could give his confused self a little guidance so that he could face the deadly killing machine of the fog beast.
Gonzawa glanced back in the direction in which Raikkonen had been taken, and he was grief-stricken.
But now is not the time to grieve, Meows will turn back at any moment and clean up the two of them. Ten minutes later, if Lidona didn't return, he withdrew with Naxi the way he came.
Using a few hallucinations, Naxi kept calling out Lidona's name into the empty woodland.
"Miss Lidona, where are you?"
"Miss Lidona!
Naxi's cries echoed in the unseen and empty haunting woodland, but there was no response that the two of them most wanted to hear.
Ten minutes had passed, and there had been no response from the empty woodland, and it seemed that Lidona had either been killed by Meows or taken by the fog beast to a place where the sound could not be heard.
As the only remaining old mercenary, Gangze decided to take Naxi out, even if he fought for his life.
But Meows won't give them that chance.
Meow~
Compared to the previous two Meows, this attack had no prelude at all, and the swift claw strike reached directly out of the heavy mist, and suddenly pressed the dwarf in a state of alert.
Neither of them expected that the Mist Beast would make a move without even making preparations.
Meow!
After pressing the dwarf, Meow Woos did not attack directly, but brought the huge cat's head close to the frightened Naxi, intending to directly break his will.
In a panic, Naxi didn't even think about it, and raised his hand to dispel the smoke with a spell that had already been prepared.
This is a two-ring spell that disperses smoke within the radius.
Naxi thought that the Mist Beast was made up of mist, so he pinned all his hopes on this spell.
The smoke dispersal spell instantly dispersed half of the fog beast's face, and Meow Woos collapsed as if it had been hit hard, turning into a dense fog that disappeared before everyone's eyes. The meow that faded into the fog indicated that the Fogbeast was wounded rather than dead.
"Sure enough, the Mist Beast is made of mist!" Naxi finally understood why the shadowed Raikkonen was able to stab Meow Wows who had turned into mist.
The magic blow just now worked, which brought a revelation to Naxi. He suddenly thought of a way to deal with the fog beast: "Uncle Dwarf, can you still use the reincarnation rune now?"
"Yes, it can be used at any time. "It's not been long since the last time I used the Wheel Rune, so it's a bit difficult to activate it again in such a short period of time. However, if he can save his life or even kill Meow Wus, who is about to carry two lives, Gangze will still agree without hesitation.
"I want you to use the Reincarnation Rune Storm once again to brush out the tornado's rune effect. Having pinned all his hopes on Naxi, he continued, "The moment the Mist Beast is about to appear, you release the tornado, and I think with any luck, we can destroy the damn Mist Beast in one fell swoop." ”
Naxi, who had seen the power of the tornado, felt that if he had used a tornado like Gangze just now, then he would have already eliminated the fog beast Meows.
After understanding what Naxi meant, the dwarf Gangze hesitated and opened the rune book he was carrying. He pressed his hand to the page of the Wheel Rune Storm, and after a flash of strange light, the surging elemental power once again filled the dwarven body.
The first rune effect to be spawned is a thunderstorm, and the dwarf, who knows that this magic effect will not have any effect on meow, suddenly releases the surging electric energy, so as not to cause more burden on his body if he stays too long.
The second rune was ice and snow, and the anxious Naxi told the dwarves to give up the elemental magic until they reached the tornado.
While waiting for the dwarves to refresh the Storm Rune, Naxi had always had the spell to dispel the smoke ready, beware of Meow Wows making a sudden attack at this critical moment. He must protect the dwarven Gangze tornado, or the two of them will become prey to Meows.
The surging thunder shook the haunting woodland, and many trees couldn't stand the shaking and slowly floated down a lot of residual leaves. The release of snow and ice made the already somewhat cool Misty Woodland even cooler. Even though he was wearing an apprentice's robe, Naxi couldn't help but shudder.
Under the cover of the mist, Naxi didn't know exactly how many trees had been destroyed by dwarven elemental magic, or when the mist beast hidden in the fog would reveal its killing moves.
Another burst of ice and snow hit the woods not far away, and Gang Ze finally brushed out the key to victory by holding on to his body, which was already about to collapse. The elemental magic called Tornado was ready to be unleashed, and Gonzawa stared closely at Naxi on the side, signaling to him that he had obtained the rune effect of Tornado.
Naxi quickly understood what Gonzawa meant, and the two stood back-to-back, waiting for Meow to pounce out of the endless haze.
