Chapter 42: A Desperate Charge

A hundred or so ghosts, somewhere between the void and the solid, between floating and walking, as if their feet were not touching the ground, swayed and walked around Catherine.

The ghosts still maintain their former appearance, and although only a faint white shadow is left now, they can still see a little bit of the appearance of the goblins through their faces and figures. The group of ghosts had a blank expression, waving the messy knives in their hands indiscriminately, slowly approaching little by little. Although they seemed bewildered and aimless now, Catherine knew that the undead were sensitive to the breath of both the living and the dead, and they had apparently locked on to their own group, and if they got any closer, they would reveal their own cruelty because of their inherent hatred for the living.

"Watch your back. Mimosa suddenly exclaimed. Catherine was distracted by the sudden running back of the two of them, and was immediately surprised by the fact that a ghost was outflanking the retreat behind them, giving the giant puppet a chance. Hearing Mimosa's reminder, Catherine was shocked by the crisis, and didn't even look back at the enemy's movements, but directly shrunk her body into a ball, while trying her best to twist her body so that her body was sheltered by the shield as much as possible.

With a "bang", Catherine suffered a blow from a giant puppet head-on for the first time since the confrontation. The iron fist, which was nearly half a man high, swung horizontally against the ground, slamming firmly into Catherine's body. This time, there was no shield block, no skill protection, and only hard resistance, Catherine finally understood the reason why this legion-level war puppet was used as a powerful war weapon. It was just a punch, no fancy movements, no long-term accumulation, just a simple punch, but with unimaginable power, just one punch, it shattered Catherine's temporarily opened fighting shield, and sent her flying upwards.

In the air, Catherine spat out gulps of blood, but remained sane. I tried my best to adjust my body posture, and landed smoothly after the power brought by the iron fist was exhausted, and there was no tragedy in which I crushed Vivien behind me into a serious injury.

"Ahem, ahem. "As soon as it lands. Catherine covered her mouth and coughed loudly, and blood spurted out of her mouth again, sprinkling on the silver chain mail: "It's so humiliating to be distracted in battle." ”

"Miss Catherine. Pansy and Mimosa happened to run to Catherine's side, and they held Catherine, who was shaking a little, and asked, "How are you?" The injury is not serious. ”

"Fortunately, this puppet is far from the armored cow. Catherine smiled reluctantly, poured the third bottle of healing potion, and took the healing potion three times in a short period of time, which had already attenuated the medicinal properties, but Catherine couldn't care about it at this time, handed the remaining potion to the maid sister and said: "There is no time, you two drink half of this bottle of medicine, and let's rush over to the ghost who is outflanking behind." I'll open the way in front of me, and if there are a hundred or so ghosts in front of me, if I'm lucky, I can make a path, and then you two will rush out of this way. By the way, Vivian, you can help carry it, and if I can't catch up, you can find a safe place and wait for half an hour, and then she will take you out when she wakes up. ”

"I, we, you ......" Pansy had a little unbearable on her face. On the spur of the moment, she wanted to say that she had attracted some of the ghosts first so that her sister and Catherine could escape, but the habit she had developed over the years made it impossible for her to say such words, and in fact, even she was surprised how she could have such thoughts.

"Don't say so much. Catherine smiled wryly and shook her head: "I took a hard punch in the front." At least one-third of the internal organs have been damaged, and with a bottle of healing potion that has already shown the attenuation of medicinal properties, it is impossible to recover much, so it can only be temporarily responded to, and if you rush away from the ghost's position, I am afraid that the injury will recur if you can't run too far. Don't worry, if the injury miraculously doesn't get worse. I'll follow, there's no time to hesitate now, go. ”

Catherine's spirit seemed to be very strong, but there was an ominous flush on her face, like a return to the light before death, but she didn't feel it at all, or she didn't care if she felt it, she once again picked up the iris shield in her left hand, thought about it, threw the spare knight's sword in her right hand to the ground, replaced it with a strong magic steel shield, and threw the heavy backpack into the corner of the ground, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It turns out that I also lost these valuable supplies one day, it's ridiculous." ”

Throwing away all the weight, Catherine coughed lightly, and the shields struck each other with a crisp sound: "It's now, come with me, in order to live." ”

"To survive. The two maid girls felt a tragic aura from their hearts, and couldn't help but respond loudly, and followed Catherine to rush towards more than a hundred ghosts, leaving only the giant puppet behind them, and persistently embellished behind them, making a rumbling footsteps.

The closer you get to the ghost, the more you can feel the horror of the ghost. Although the ghost is not powerful, this fear is not the fear of facing the powerful, but an innate fear of the dead and unknowable mysteries. Even if a person is powerful, even a demigod who can bury countless undead souls with a wave of his hand, he can't avoid this fear in his heart, but because the stronger the person, the better the psychological quality, this fear can't interfere with them.

The shape of the ghosts is fixed in the moment before their death, which should be different, but the state of these goblins is very similar, there are no fatal injuries on their bodies, and they have maintained a blank expression, as if they did not realize that they were about to lose their lives until the moment of death.

It's a strange thing, and it's hard to spot it if it weren't for the fact that you've encountered a large number of ghosts in this particular environment. But Catherine didn't have the heart to think about these questions at this time, and maybe she would leave them to the next person who came here to find out.

Getting closer and closer to the team of ghosts, Catherine felt that she was getting stronger and stronger, her fighting spirit was burning wildly, the strength of her whole body was condensed like never before, and for a while she even had the illusion that she was omnipotent. Compressed, compressed, and recompressed, the Dou Qi seemed to be endlessly generated, compressed layer by layer on the Dou Qi shield on the body surface, making the shield stronger and more difficult to shake.

"For victory, charge!" Catherine threw her head up, uttering the greatest cry of her life, and crashed headlong into the horde of ghosts.

The ghosts between the virtual and the real are not as fragile as air, and when they collide, they seem to have hit a layer of soft colloid, although they cannot cause damage, but with the power of impact, with the help of the pure energy power of Douqi, Catherine's front and side ghosts are bounced away one by one, like a wheat field after harvesting, leaving a clear gap in the middle. The maid sister knew that she had no room for hesitation, and that a second of hesitation would cause irreparable consequences, so she followed Catherine and rushed into the ghost along the gap. The ghosts who had not yet been knocked out of the front were not stunned, their dazed expressions had been replaced by instinctive mania, and the strange knives in their hands rained down on Catherine in front, but they were blocked by Catherine's protective fighting spirit and failed to cause any damage.

"Bang bang bang. The sound of the crash continued, and the two shields formed a cone in front of and at Catherine's side, causing the ghosts to fly out in both directions, seeing that the hope of escape was getting closer and closer. But at this moment, Catherine's body suddenly burst forward, although deliberately suppressed, she still let out an uncontrollable violent cough, and her speed slowed down significantly. The maid sisters' hearts immediately fell into despair, and they knew very well what the sudden cough meant, which meant that the medicinal properties of the healing potions were decayed more than expected, and the uncontrollable injuries appeared earlier than expected.

"Fuck off with me. As soon as the coughing stopped, Catherine let out an angry roar, and the burning fighting energy on her body suddenly became more vigorous, and her right hand swung forward with all her strength, and the magic steel shield in her hand flew out in a whirlwind, and the fighting energy condensed on the shield emitted a dazzling light, and all the ghosts located in the passage in front of her fell to both sides under the power of the flying shield, revealing the escape channel.

"Let's go. As soon as Catherine spoke, her voice was hoarse, but she did not continue to run forward, but picked up the two maids one by one with her backhand, and threw them along the passage broken by the flying shield, along with Vivien behind the pansy, and let the three of them fly out of the most dangerous area.

"Miss Catherine. Unable to resist the power of the professional, pansies and mimosas were forcibly thrown out, and as soon as their bodies hit the ground, they couldn't wait to turn back. When they turned around, they were horrified to find that Catherine did not run out, but fell to one knee, her right hand covering her mouth, and coughing heartbreakingly. From between the fingers, the bright red blood spilled little by little, and it couldn't be stopped.

The undead who were knocked into the air were not harmed, and at the same time, the undead on both sides were not idle, and the survival passage that had been painstakingly opened up quickly closed, wrapping Catherine in layers. The raging undead did not have any mercy for the living in their eyes, and mechanically raised the weapon in their hands and slashed hard at Catherine who fell to her knees, although each attack was bounced away by the shield of Douqi, but Catherine, who was coughing and wheezing, maintained the shield more and more reluctantly, and the light of Douqi became more and more dim.

Behind them, the giant legion-level war golem had chased thirty meters away, reaching the edge of the ghost position. But what the two maids expected did not happen, and instead of attacking the massive golem, the ghosts kept squeezing towards Catherine's side. Correspondingly, the golem did not attack the ghosts, and the golem's target was also locked on Catherine, and she did not let up. As the puppet approached step by step, the ghosts around the puppet's footsteps actually knew how to disperse actively and would not interfere with each other at all. (To be continued.) )
