Modoni split his men.

"You, you, you, you!"

Moderna quickly pointed to the four insect mages.

"Follow me. We will engage with Granno and others. ”

The four insect mages nodded.

"You get the rest of the people out and go to support the Red Sands troops. Moderna ordered his man-bearded subordinates.

"Understood. ”

His subordinates took the remaining insect mages to the battlefield.

"Can you really hold the five of us up here?" asked Conou?

"When did you know?" asked Morton.

"Find out what?"

"I'm aiming at you. ”

The tone intends to use Grano as a hunting dog, believing that he is trapped in a spider's web and cannot escape.

So how do they prepare?

"From the moment you knew Mr. Grano, we knew it," Conou said. I can tell when I smell it. ”

"So you know from the beginning. ”

Frowning.

Conou's party was aware of the plan of the tune from the very beginning.

In other words, they didn't play in the palm of his hand. He's been playing on Conou's palm.

"We are at a disadvantage. ”

His opponent had a lot of time to prepare for him, and he didn't.

As long as nothing special happens, the key is defeated.

As long as nothing special happens, it is.

Moderna calmly assessed the situation and came up with a way to turn it around.

Take Conou's team hostage

Those who rode horses must have come to help Conou. If so, then he could make them retreat by conquering Con'ou's ranks.

"Let me tell you what it means to face the insect mage Modney. ”

The staff who held up the scorpion ornament in the air, shouted into the air, and began to chant.

"Attack!"

Conou sprinted in tune, still on a camel, with Eder close behind.

Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke.

The four insect mages simultaneously pushed their staff into the ground and cast the summoning spells they had prepared in advance.

Four magic circles appear on the sand bed, from which rise four dragonflies (more than 1 meter long).

They are called giant dragonflies!

Their jaws are made of steel, and they have sharp inertial navigation and guidance on their tails.

Baez!

Four giant dragonflies flapped their wings violently and flew towards Conou and Eder.

Cono wielded his magic sword and aimed at the nearest dragonfly wing.

Whether it's a bee, a bird, or a dragonfly, this is a good strategy to disable its ability to fly first.

。

His sword slashed through the air.

The dragonfly, as if it was a fighter, turned 360 times and dodged his blow.

After that, it aimed at Conou's face with its steel chin.

Conou quickly tilted his head back, and the dragonfly was only airy.

Another giant dragonfly came to Conou's leg.

Conou quickly raised himself and swung his sword downward, aiming it at the dragonfly's head.

However, the dragonfly turns vertically and can dodge his sword.

"They were nice. ”

Giant dragonflies are effective flying objects.

"If so, then ......"

A giant dragonfly lifted its tail like a bee, pointed its stinger at him, and flew towards Kangou.

Cono didn't move.

The stinger is very close to Conou's body.

But then...

Conou spun, dodging the stinger the width of his hair.

Then, he pushed the magic sword away.

The tip of his sword pierced through the dragonfly's wings.

Scream.

The wings of a giant dragonfly are hard. A beam of light splashed out of the blow, but it was impossible to penetrate it.

Baez!

The giant dragonfly that was attacked flapped its wings violently and flew into the air.

Another dragonfly also rushed towards Conou.

Con'ou responded calmly to the threat.

Like Con'ou, Eder fights two dragonflies.

He used his four-colored skull shield to block the stinger.

Clang.

As soon as the stinger hits the shield, the orange skull begins to glow.

Fire brand!

The flames struck the dragonfly.

The giant dragonfly is burned and subsequently loses some health.

"Wow!"

Ed uses his shield to push one giant dragonfly out of the way and lunges at the other.

The dragonfly barely dodged his mace and flew into the sky.

They let it go for a moment.

That's when Edel stepped on the ground.

Realm of the Cursed Lands!

He activates the Rusty Sword, which reduces the enemy's attack damage.

Ed was followed by the ruined walls, which also lowered their defenses.

And that's not all.

Ed opened his mouth and dispelled a demon from within. This spirit will apply the curse of aging.

The demon sticks to the dragonfly that is still suffering from the burn damage.

Ed lunged at the dragonfly, swinging downward.

His mace hit a low-flying dragonfly, dragging its tail to the floor.

"Good. ”

Ed tries to attack, but another dragonfly stabs him with its steel jaw, forcing him to deal with it instead.

"T-shaped!"

Ed clicked his skill in disappointment and waved his shield at the approaching dragonfly.

“...... Get up, blade mantis!"

The key completes his spell.

A magic circle was formed on the ground, and two praying mantises, nearly 2 meters high, came out.

Their front legs consist of sparkling blades.

Southwest!

When they swing their front legs, they make a screeching sound that resembles cutting through air.

“...... Awaken your primal instincts that have been dormant for so long!"

Moderna issued a new spell and his scorpion-decorated staff began to glow.

It is a strengthening spell designed to greatly enhance the power of the insects he summons.

The Blade Mantis's eyes glowed red. They look as if they are crazy.

"Render them powerless. ”

The tune points his staff to Conou and Eder.

The two praying mantis approached Conou and Ed, who were busy with the giant dragonfly.

But then Grano intervened.

It was my turn.

He's been waiting for the tune to join the fray.

Granor releases the water balloon after hitting it in the Sword Spirit Mantis!

As soon as they see the water balloon coming, the praying mantis swings its front blade.

ah

The water balloon was split in half and then fell weakly to the ground, wetting the ground.

However, Grano kept throwing water balloons at them.

With so many water balloon attacks, the praying mantis no longer advances.

Therefore, Modoni cast another spell.

A magic circle formed in the sky, and a swarm of red houseflies appeared.

A large number of red flies don't actually have any offensive capabilities. However, they may obscure a person's view or launch an attack that would otherwise cause harm to others.

Not only that, but this spell also doesn't have a cooldown, so people can cast it without reciting the chant.

The tune reaches out to the praying mantis, and a swarm of red houseflies flies towards the praying mantis.

ah

Countless flies fell to the ground after the impact.

Mono keeps summoning more and more flies to block the water balloon.

A swarm of red houseflies and a blue water balloon continue to clash with each other.

Since the water balloon was no longer blocked, the praying mantis approached Conou and Ed as ordered.

Conou and Eder still haven't taken down a giant dragonfly.

The addition of a bladed mantis was too much for him, so Conou was forced to retreat.

But before he could do that, a praying mantis immediately closed the distance.

Southwest!

The blade mantis shook its front legs. At first glance, you can see how sharp and dangerous its blades are.

"Let's see how strong they are. ”

Cono grasped the sword in both hands and swung it downward.

The blade mantis swings diagonally with its right front leg.

Clang!

Its blade clashed with Conou's sword.

Conou's hand raised.

As I thought, it's not just bigger than a regular bladed praying mantis.

They are definitely strong, even among all the insects that an insect mage can summon.

Then, the bladed praying mantis also swings its left leg diagonally to the left.

Conor did the same with the blade, a white line following the path of the sword.

Pare!

Clang.

Their blades collided again.

However, Con used a slash, which left a wound on the mantis.

However, no wounds were found on the blade.

Well, it must be like a player's weapon. ”

Cono kept this information and prepared for the next attack.

However, the two giant dragonflies he had forgotten rushed towards him at the same time.

Conou swung his sword and deflected the dragonfly. That's when the Blade Mantis attacked.

He quickly stopped the attack of the praying mantis, but the attack of the dragonfly was immediately followed by the attack of the praying mantis.

"Predators and prey work together. ”

Conou had seen praying mantis eat a dragonfly's head on TV before.

However, the Bladed Mantis and the Monitor Dragonfly showed excellent team spirit.

Conou is being pushed back more and more.

Ed is in the same boat. He also struggles with a joint attack between dragonflies and praying mantises.

At the same time, the interval between each water polo throw is getting longer and longer. However, Granno (Granno) casts a new spell to make up for it.

Once this is done, a water gun that spins violently forms on top of his head.

Grano pointed to the Blade Mantis that Conou was facing.

Magnify.

The water spear flew towards the Blade Mantis.

At the same time, Kang'ou, who was on the defensive, swung his sword violently and knocked the dragonfly back.

Then, just as the water spear arrived, he attacked the praying mantis, forcing it to concentrate on him.

Clang.

The blade mantis crossed its front legs, blocking the sword.

However, at that moment, a water gun swept over Conou's shoulder and flew towards the mantis.

The water gun hit the blade mantis in the head.

ah

The water swirls and disperses.

The blade mantis's head shook as if it had been slapped on its cheek by water, and it instantly became stiff.

Cono seized the opportunity.

"Hap!"

He wielded his sword diagonally.

Pare!

His sword ran diagonally through its body, and a beam of light exploded from it like fireworks.

Kangou could not afford to miss the opportunity. Then, he launched the next attack.

He unleashed another slash on the mantis's neck!

However, the dragonflies flew around, in exchange for Conou's attack.

Hack!

His demonic sword pierced through the dragonfly's tail.

This may be the behavior of one of the insect mages. They must have ordered the dragonflies to attack.

The dragonfly's sacrifice was worth it. The praying mantis grabbed its body and flinched in order to get ready for battle again.

"I got the fry instead, didn't I? ”

Conou immediately changed the target of the attack. His sword was still buried in the dragonfly, pierced into the ground.

Universal developer.

Once hit the ground, Con stepped on his wings and swung his sword incessantly.

Stab. Stab.

His third blow was accompanied by Dark Strike.

Con'ou's sword unleashes a wave of beasts.

Bang!

[You defeat a giant dragonfly.] ]

Unfortunately, he didn't steal any data from it.

Cono opens the curtain and rushes towards the Blade Mantis.

The front legs of the praying mantis are swinging as it shakes its head from side to side.

Bell!

His demonic sword and its blade continue to clash.

However, the praying mantis's blades began to dull.

If Con'ou had a little more time, then he would have been able to finish it once and for all.

But a giant dragonfly flew in and flew towards Con'ou's back.

Conou regretfully flinched.

"I'll stop it. ”

He heard Granno's voice.

Grano continues to throw water balls, while Mordoni continues to gather flies.

Despite this, Granno helps Conou again, just as he shoots a water gun at the praying mantis.

The dragonfly was immediately surrounded by water droplets and surrounded by water barriers.

Water Prison!

"Thank you. ”

Cono attacked the Sword Mantis again.

Bell!

The front legs of the praying mantis were not only blunt, but also fractured.

Ultimately!

Dark Strike activates and...

Crack!

The blade is completely broken.

In this way, now it is nothing more than a giant praying mantis. Cono could easily beat it.

But after that!

Morduni stopped summoning his flies.

Then, Granno's water balloon hits a dragonfly.

Conou, Eder, and Grano worry about Mortun, but their focus is on killing the bugs in front first.

Modoni began to recite new songs. A red magic circle was formed on the ground.

A red tarantula appeared on the red magic circle, as large as a human torso.

"Yes!" Ed yelled even though he was in the middle of the fight.

"What's wrong?" asked Conou with a swing of his sword.

"That monster is dangerous!"

Ed said, "It's called Tarantus. ”

He attacks a dragonfly with a mace as he speaks.

Clang.

Cono used his sword to block the attack of the bladed mantis.

"That's the Tarantus Islands?"

He had extensive knowledge of Arth, so he had heard of tarantulas before.

Tarantus.

Its poison is special.

Dominate the poison!

While it does not affect a person's mind, it can steal a person's ability to control their own body.

"As long as we don't get discovered, we'll be fine," Cono said.

Although its poison is very powerful, it is unable to spew out poison or cover it with a net.

It can only poison its prey with its bite.

"That may be true," said Ed...... You can't get bitten in any case. ”

Once he finished, the blade mantis and giant dragonfly were gone.

Tune and his insect mage cancel their summons.

"What are they doing?"

After the insects disappeared, Ed stared warily at Modoni and the insect mage.

The insect mage is preparing another summoning spell. This is the red housefly that the key has used before!

Countless flies appeared in the air, hovering around the islands of Tarantus.

"Damn it. ”

Con frowned.

It's a dangerous combination.

But that's not all.

“...... Awaken your primal instincts that have been dormant for so long!"

Moderna cast an enhancement spell on Tarantus, greatly increasing its abilities.

His scorpion-decorated staff emitted light.

Tarantus's red eyes began to glow red.

Moderna then pointed his staff to Conou.

"Control them, Tarantus!"

The target of the key is obviously Granno.

In order to turn the tide, he is doing everything in his power to conquer Conou's party.

That is why he resorted to the ace tarantus (tarantula).
