As the light of the contract dissipated, the demon wolf attacked again.

Corrupted and corrupted, they are not creatures with extraordinary properties, but their physical strength and madness are deadly enough. In the encounter just now, the double-digit human was also defeated after being slashed through by the five-headed demon wolf.

The physical fitness of both sides is not at the same level at all!

Griffith reached into his pouch, grabbed the bottle of potion that had been kept to this day, the reward of the sewer battle, and drank it in one gulp.

Griffith realized that he could choose one of the two frost spells he already had, and he could be raised by this potion by one order.

Enhanced Frozen Nova/Ice Formation, I want it now!

In the dark, Griffith realizes that one of his spells has been strengthened, and that the freezing Nova has a wider range of freezes and more intense frostbite, while the ice structure can last longer and complete more shaping.

The mysterious and icy spell touched the elements in the air that could not be observed by the naked eye, and the demon wolves that pounced on the humans suddenly found that they were hit by the freezing air, and they were unable to move their feet for a moment.

"Extreme Freeze - Nova!"

The cold ice froze the demon wolves that pounced one after another, making it difficult for these monsters to move an inch. Although they can still swing their claws and sweep around, they can't break free for a while.

However, the freezing effect did not last long, and Griffith grabbed a bottle of secondary slowing potion based on the snot of the mountain monster and smashed it towards the demon wolf at the back. The vial shattered on the icy ground, and the wolf that landed at the back immediately fell into a negative state of halving its speed.

The demon wolf is too strong relative to the human body, and it is necessary to break up their cooperation first.

Griffith stabbed his sword into the throat of the demon wolf at the front. The refined longsword cut through the thick fur of the demon wolf, and the huge shock almost made his saber fall out of his hand.

The blade of the sword is stuck in the flesh and blood, and for such a powerful creature, it is still necessary to use an armor-piercing spear. At this time, the attacked demon wolf had been freed from the frozen state, howling and roaring, and the wolf claws as big as shovels grabbed Griffith's head.

Griffith sent a thought to his bone ring, mobilizing the frost runes that had long been condensed in the ring.

Three chilly ice spears took shape in the air, and the icy temperatures intensified the spell's effect, and Griffith obtained three ice spikes that were no less than armor-piercing spears. He grabbed one wrist and threw it at the roaring wolf.

Let me show you, the Eagle Banner Soldier's Gun Throwing Triple Company!

A tooth-itching tearing sound sounded in the corrupted forest, and the demon wolf that pounced like a storm could not dodge and crashed headlong.

"Poof!"

The silver ice spike plunged directly into the demon wolf's open mouth, and a patch of blood ran through the back of its neck. The demon wolf's whole body was suffocated, and before his body could feel the pain, it had been projected into a state of stagnation.

Griffith's second ice gun was then thrown at very close range. The blow cut through the thick skin and into the chest, but it hit the bone with a dull thud, knocking the demon wolf to the ground, but the ice spear also shattered.

The third throwing gun had already taken shape, and Griffith reached out to grasp it, but he quickly turned around, ignoring the imminent and freshly wounded demon wolf.

He was aiming for the demon wolf in the middle. The formidable mutant creature had broken free and swooped in between Griffith's attacks and lunged towards Sonia behind her.

Griffith's torch-like gaze immediately locked onto it, and a black horn hanging from his neck began to shimmer with a pale blue sheen, and a roaring mountain monster phantom appeared behind him, almost merging with his body.

This is an extraordinary item that uses the horns of the swamp bull as a carrier and fuses the power of the mountain monster. When Griffith linked his psychic power to it, a surge of rage and power poured into his body and he shouted furiously, and the next attack would deal double the damage.

The demon wolf was also shocked, unable to understand how the human in front of him could burst out with such a terrifying momentum. Just as it tried to dodge, it found that its sturdy limbs had fallen into a state of sluggishness.

The terrifying nature of the mountain monster will leave the weaker creatures with nowhere to hide, and Griffith's next attack will have a special effect that must hit.

"Use your body to remember this blow, corrupted monster!"

Griffith threw it with all his might, and the astonishing wind pressure swept away the snow, and the spiral trail left the crackling sound far away, piercing through the right side of the wolf's face and exiting the left side of the face. The demon wolf's hideous head was torn and twisted by this blow, and its entire body flew out, sprinkling more than ten meters of broken flesh and black blood on the gray snow.

After this throw, Griffith immediately felt as if his whole body had been evacuated, but an even more surging killing intent had already enveloped him.

The third demon wolf, frozen and slowed down, had broken free and appeared behind Griffith. The apprentice knight subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his legs were like lead, and his breath was like bellows, and he could hardly move an inch.

The body is so stiff, is it a stiffness that exerts too much physical exertion? Griffith staggered his hands in front of him, and leaned sideways to meet the inevitable blow.

Suddenly, a tall figure rushed in front of him, blocking between him and the demon wolf.

The demon wolf leaped to his feet and pounced on the humans on the ground. Sonya's wand spun rapidly, forming a burst of ice spikes aimed at the wolf's head. In mid-air, with nowhere to draw on his strength, it was almost impossible for the demon wolf to dodge this blow.

However, the huge creature contracted rapidly, its limbs clumped together, and spun in the air like a black hairball for half a circle, forcibly avoiding the attack axis of the spell.

"Poof!" Ice spikes pierced the demon wolf's shoulder blades, blasting a bloody hole open, but no fatal damage was done.

Sonia also used the spell, and she couldn't cast the spell again for a cooldown of up to 15 seconds.

"Ice Armor!" Griffith hurriedly threw ice armor on Sonia for defense. But the once-transparent ice wall blocked the demon wolf first.

A brooch encrusted with green gems on Sonya's coat flickered rapidly, maintaining the presence of the ice wall, apparently solidifying the spell that was activated at high speed, and could withstand an attack at a critical moment.

The wolf's claws slammed into the ice wall with a terrifying bone-cracking sound, but the wall quickly collapsed.

Sonia pulled out the pouch from her waist and threw it at the corrupted creature in front of her, pointing at it with her flickering wand.

"Bang!"

The packet exploded into a cloud of pink smoke and a splash of crystal fragments. Griffith keenly smelled a mixed aroma in the air.

Sonia threw out her makeup bag, then ignited it with the wand's inherent special effects, detonating it directly in front of the wolf's nose. The flying fragments, powders, and a mixture of different perfumes and cleansing oils frightened the demon wolf and immediately jumped back.

When a caster is on cast cooldown, enchanted items, scrolls, and potions are fillers in the vacuum, and it is not enough to rely on one's own spells.

After Sonia suffered a big loss in the face of goblins for the first time, she also came to a new understanding of her abilities and items, and she had already thought of using accessories and even small objects to fill the gaps in the casting cooldown.

......

In the silence of the snow, the icy spear head began to dissolve as soon as it pierced through the demon wolf, and blood dripped down with it. Griffith mended the eye socket of the demon wolf that had been shot through the cheek, and swung it away as if nothing had happened.

Two-on-three, kill one. The first round was over.

The remaining two demon wolves seemed to be frightened. Although they rot and mutate, they also know that the humans just now obviously used magic, and the humans wrapped in metal should not have such abilities.

Since the attack, the wolves have killed and injured five heads, and the stalemate should not continue. Mutant creatures are crazy, but they're not stupid. Griffith counted the frost runes on Minoan Bone Ring, the remaining weapons, and the status of the enemies. The runes that had just been consumed were being re-condensed and replenished, but the situation was still critical.

However, the demon wolf had no intention of retreating. They distanced themselves from each other and approached in an encircled manner.

Won't the demon wolves retreat? Griffith gritted his teeth, knowing that there was no chance of a fluke.

"Griffith, can I ask for more?" Sonia staggered back against Griffith's back.

"Of course. Griffith replied simply, and at the moment of physical touch, he felt that his remaining mental power was being withdrawn.

At the same time, he felt a wave of dizziness, and the side effects of the loss of mental power had already appeared.

It turns out that as long as you are close and have a clear will, you can replenish each other, which is really a convenient and efficient way to collaborate. It's no wonder that it's a contract that requires the witness of the gods! At this rate, it can squeeze the other party dry.

Can't you let Galadya know about this...... Griffith also thought in a trance.

Sonia noticed his strangeness and hurriedly stopped: "I may not be able to activate the spell, but there is still a solidified defense spell on the necklace that can be used, and that's it." ”

"Yes, understood," Griffith clenched his sword and shouted to the wolf, "what's the matter? ”

The demon wolf seemed to understand, and let out an angry roar. They leapt with all their strength on their hind legs and pounced on them like the stone projectiles of a trebuchet.

A pale green streamer suddenly streaked through the air, locking Griffith's hands and feet before the demon wolf at the front pounced on it. The streamer continued to gain momentum, flying towards the demon wolf behind.

At the same time, Griffith was surprised to find a black thorn growing from the damp dirt and snow, spreading rapidly along the trail of the streamer. When the streamer dissipated, the two demon wolves had been firmly locked together by the thorns.

Griffith didn't expect this to happen, and hurriedly swung his sword and slashed away. The sword slashed through the sturdy fur and slid away towards a piece, causing little damage.

The wolf roared and struggled frantically to escape from the thorny cage, its claws enough to tear apart the iron armor and grab at the midshipman's shoulder, tearing off a shattered hoop in no time.

Griffith slashed at the wolf, and once again the sword was blocked by the tough fur, leaving only a shallow blood mark.

"It's soft and weak, so I'm not very satisfied~" The elf with long black hair crept in like the wind in the forest, and Griffith wouldn't even be able to detect her arrival if it weren't for her teasing words.

She was already dressed in Ranger gear, wearing a Mythril Single-Winged Laurel Crown, and the intricate gems and crystals of her glittering breastplate, gauntlets, and shin armor shone brightly. The elf flipped his hand and took a golden bow from behind his back, which looked like a phoenix spreading its wings, and opened the bowstring towards the demon wolf.

The moment the feather arrow landed on the bowstring, it turned into a dazzling silver light, dragging a long trail and a swirl of air through the wolf's throat, exploding a mass of flesh on the back of its neck. The silver light continued unabated, hitting the brain of the other demon wolf that was bound, blasting it into a cloud of blood.

Griffith was dazzled by the sudden bright light that appeared in the darkness, and by the time the light had cleared, the headless corpses of two strong demon wolves were lying on the ground. Galadia stood proudly with a strong bow in her hand in the chaos of blood mist, her long hair fluttering in the wind, deadly and graceful.

"Galadia, why are you here?"

"It's good that I'm here, otherwise would you still have a way to live?" The elf's face could no longer see the previous injury, she took out the potion and handed it to Sonia, and said seriously, "Don't look at how many losses I have suffered, as long as I have equipment, I am actually very powerful, and I haven't played it before!"

"I'm convinced of that!" Griffith said immediately.

Sonia stood aside, rubbing her forehead and waiting for the two of them to finish before asking, "Galadia, what about the others, have the professors' support arrived?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap suddenly flashed in the distant forest, followed by an earth-shattering loud noise and a violent shaking of the earth. Countless strange howls that had never been heard of came and went.

"Professor Lourdes has arrived to join the others, but he's also encountered a very strange monster attack, which is easy for people with high inspiration. The other reinforcements were also scattered in a hurry," the elf said, "Come with me, and then I'll tell you about the battle." ”

......

"So~ it's not clear what that brownie is up to," Galadia, who listened to Griffith's brief explanation, whispered as she deftly walked through the dark forest, "The bloody smell of a battle can attract monsters from a radius of a hundred miles, and a face-to-face battle with a mere goblin and a well-equipped Shotolar, or a fight with a monster in the forest, is no different in nature from suicide, and Brownie 2887 should know this very well."

"Maybe bringing us in is what it was for.

"The longer you stay in the Whispering Forest, the more you lose your sanity unconsciously. It may not be subtle at first, but gradually you will feel dizzy and hear strange sounds, which is a sign of being polluted by the madness of the forest;

"As the pollution intensifies, you start laughing unconsciously and you can't control it, you don't even realize it. The mood will also be inexplicably excited, depressed, and say things that you would not normally say.

"After being heavily polluted by the twists here, many monsters that you would not otherwise see will take shape and attack you, leading to your final madness and death. ”
