Section 7 Necromancy
Alicia wielded her armor-piercing sword, turning into a red streamer, wielding her sword shadow and weaving between the walking dead. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, the armor-piercing sword, which is a weapon that pierces vital parts, is not suitable for fighting the undead. Undead creatures are inanimate beings, and unless their heads are separated, they may continue to move even if their hands and feet are cut off. The attack of the armor-piercing sword can only pierce a hole in the zombie's body, but this is nothing to the already scarred body.
However, every time Alicia made a move, she aimed at the central part of the zombie's forehead, which is the location of the brain, no matter what kind of organism, if the brain tissue is destroyed, all physiological activities will be stopped, and the undead are no exception. Although Alicia sometimes misses in her attacks, her slender sword will not get stuck in the flesh and bones of zombies, so it is easy to withdraw from the hands of these slow-moving monsters.
This was the case, but Alicia was still nervous to death, and she just desperately recalled the footwork and movement essentials that Hediway had taught her and applied them to the battle situation in front of her.
In comparison, Darron's greatsword was a breeze to slay these zombies that were as static to him. The greatsword is a weapon that prefers to kill and slash in a wide area, but it takes a lot of effort. Talon's arm strength cannot be compared with ordinary people, and if you want to compare, you must at least find a bear. In this way, he swept the cold whirlwind with his sword, and the zombies he came into contact with were all cut in two, and the cut wounds were as if they had been roasted in a fire, showing a charred black color.
Sid and his soldiers are also battle-hardened, and they have already cut off hundreds of heads with their skillful martial arts, but the guys buried in the earth are still crawling up to the earth to eat fresh meat. After Sid cut off a zombie at the waist, kicked away the lower limbs that continued to move forward, held the sword in both hands, and poked hard at the upper body that was still crawling on the ground, the long sword stabbed into the head, and the zombie finally stopped moving.
"If only you had a mage with you!" Daron grumbled. After helping Alicia and killing a long-bodied zombie, he glanced at the number of enemies that were not decreasing but increasing, and he was speechless.
After Alicia's repeated attacks, she also felt very tired, she was not familiar with the control of breath and footwork, and her physical foundation was not very good, and it was already remarkable for Daron to be able to hold on for so long.
"Alicia, do you know what the undead are most afraid of?" Sid approached Alicia, who was already sweating profusely, and actually asked a question with the attitude of a teacher at this point in time.
Panting, panting.
It seemed that Alicia was too tired to answer, so Daron said on her behalf:
"Of course it's on fire, why are you asking this?"
"Hehe, you don't need a magician, I'll show you a show. ”
The number of zombies around has become encircled, surrounding the bounty hunter brigade of hundreds of people. Sid dug into his pocket again, and this time he pulled out two spherical flame-colored crystals.
"Oh my God, you even have this?"
"Let's see what a zombie barbecue is!"
After tapping each crystal five times, Sid threw them violently at the two places where the zombies were most dense. After touching the body of the zombie, the crystal suddenly emitted a light that illuminated the night into day, and then, there were two loud bangs, "boom!" and "boom!", and the zombies were violently impacted by the storm and flames, and looking down from above, the puzzle composed of a group of zombies was directly missing two big holes. The crystal fell to the ground, and the power of the explosion directly killed hundreds of zombies to slag, and the zombies that were blasted into the sky were also countless, some mutilated limbs and pieces of flesh fell from the sky, and the air was filled with a smell of sulfur.
"Isn't this an 'exploding crystal'? this thing is so dangerous, you dare to carry it with you. "Daron admires his former commander at the moment.
"What's not to dare, don't you think this comes in handy?" said Sid, clenching the hilt of his sword again, "I think the places where people can be buried here have also been stabbed, and there shouldn't be many guys left, so let's clear the field." ”
Let Alicia rest for a while, and Daron and the mercenary group of West Germany began to deal with the endgame. The zombies were finally cleaned up, and the skull of a zombie lying on the ground was kicked on the soles of their feet, embedding flesh and blood from the back of their heads, and even pulling out the big sword that went deep into the earth and stones, and Daron finally breathed a sigh of relief, this was already the last one. At this time, Alicia, who was on the side, suddenly discovered something:
"Darlon, what's that?"
The direction of her fingers was the back of the zombie's neck. Many soldiers and West Germans came over to see a black serpentine pattern, impartially printed in the center of the nape of the neck like a tattoo.
"This ...... Could it be a tattoo of necromancy?" began to speculate on the well-informed Sid.
"You've seen it?" Daron apparently didn't have much research on necromancy.
"I've heard that if a necromancer wants to use the undead as a puppet servant, he will carve a mark on the back of a monster's neck. ”
After hearing this, Daron and the soldiers began to examine the necks of the corpses around them. Sure enough, almost every zombie has the same pattern on the back of their neck.
"Daron, I wonder if the legend is true, the Prince of the Dead exists on this mountain. Sid's words caused Alicia to make a nervous break face again, and she hid behind Darron's back.
"Whether or not this is a good thing done by the undead prince, it is at least certain that someone is indeed manipulating these corpses, and we seem to be targeted. When Daron said this, his heart was actually hairy. He's been a rival to countless humans and monsters, but he's never been in contact with a necromancer. People are always afraid of the unknown, just like Alicia is now.
"Reach ...... Daron, I see, I, let's go back!" In Alicia's mind, the scales of money and life finally tipped to the other side.
Just as Daron hesitated, a strange voice was heard in the air again. This time, it's the sound of pieces of raw meat dragging on the rocks. A large amount of rubble suddenly slid down the mountain wall against which everyone was leaning, and everyone looked up along the mountain wall, raising the light of the Dao Illumination Crystal. I saw a large number of strange creatures with the shape of human bodies but bare skin, twisting their limbs against the stone wall and crawling quickly from above. There were at least a few dozen of them, each with no eyes on its pale face, only two nostrils and a large mouth full of sharp teeth.
"It's a ghoul!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone recognized these infamous monsters. For some reason, Daron had a very strong feeling that these monsters must have been sent by the necromancer to deal with them.
The most overwhelmed at this time was Alicia, who had only taught him how to fight humanoids, and the twisted creeping monster in front of her scared her completely.
Seeing that a group of zombies were pouring around him, West Germany ordered the whole army to move up the hill to avoid being caught between the two breads. Ghouls crawl much faster than humans can run, and soon, the mercenary team is caught up, and under the leadership of West Germany, the team is divided into two groups, one responsible for killing the zombies in the way, and the other responsible for dealing with the ghouls who catch up from behind. The team responsible for dealing with ghouls was more miserable, the combat power of ghouls and zombies were not at the same level at all, and for a while, several people fell down in screams.
Alicia was a slow runner, unfortunate enough to be targeted by a ghoul, who opened its bloody mouth and let out a roar of blood, writhing its limbs and hurtling through the crowd. One soldier raised his sword and tried to slash at its head, but the ghoul was so fast that he only slashed the guy in the back. The attacked ghoul screamed, then turned his head and quickly pounced on the soldier's face, who was bitten to pieces before he could scream.
Alicia, who saw such a hellish scene on earth for the first time, resisted the tumbling of her stomach, she instinctively looked for Daron in the crowd, and now she had even forgotten how to swing her sword.
Not far away, Dahlon and Sid each had the head of a ghoul, blood splattered on their faces, and neither of them blinked an eye. And after they observed the corpses of ghouls, they also found that they had the same black snake tattoo on the back of their necks as the zombies just now.
"Sure enough......" Daron verified his suspicions, it seems that there are indeed people in this mountain who want to kill them, because they trespassed on his territory, so they made people unhappy, so they held a welcoming meeting like this?
"Darron!!" Darron, distracted by his thoughts, was pulled back to reality by a female voice's call, and he quickly turned in the direction of the sound, only to see a ghoul crawling towards Alicia at a rapid pace, jumping halfway through. Alicia's mind went blank as she looked at the pale face and bloody mouth that was closing in on her.
"Stop!" Daron concentrated all his strength on his right hand and threw his great sword. With a terrible whistling sound, the greatsword pierced the ghoul's skull with precision, dragging the ghoul's body with too much force until it was pinned to a nearby boulder.
But the crisis is not over, and another ghoul is seen running towards Alicia and pounced.
I said that's how much you like this girl?!" Daron thought to himself, and a cold sweat crawled all over his body. At this distance, he couldn't get to Alicia's side in time, and the girl's crying expression made him so anxious that a nameless anger rose.
"If you don't want to die, just hold my sword and fight!!"
Daron's angry shout brought Alicia back to her senses, and the girl who felt that sixteen years of life had passed in front of her like a marquee, bravely picked up the armor-piercing sword again. Now the ghoul was only ten leaves away from herself, and at that distance Alicia would not have had time to stab her sword, because the ghoul's large mouth would bite her carotid artery first. At this time, Alicia made a move that even she couldn't believe.
Ignoring the impending blow to her back, she jumped backwards as hard as she could, opening up an incredible distance from the ghoul, and then, holding the armor-piercing sword in both hands and raising it upwards, the ghoul pinning her chin to the tip of the sword, the armor-piercing sword piercing the back of its head due to the ghoul's own speed and weight.
In this way, Alicia and the ghoul crashed into the rock behind her, and the sharp pain in her waist almost suffocated her, but the touch of the ghoul lying on her body made her tremble and quickly stood up, she drew her armor-piercing sword, and threw the ghoul to the ground, stumbling and almost not standing firmly.
Panting heavily, Alicia looked at the white corpse on the ground, the scene just now made her still not regain her sense of reality.
I'm not dead?
It was the first thought that came to Alicia's mind. The moment the ghoul pounced, she did feel the Grim Reaper's scythe against her throat, but at the last moment, Darron's cry saved her, reminding her of what Hediway had said to her:
"As a warrior, no matter what time you are, no matter what kind of strong enemy you encounter, don't give up resistance. Because when you give up resistance, you're dead. ”
Did Hediway save her, or did Hediway's son save her? Probably both.
Looking at Daron running towards her with relief and worry on her face, Alicia had some real gratitude and trust in her eyes for the mercenary for the first time.
