Chapter XXXVII

Catherine's legion offensive seems to be directing the knight Heroic Spirit to fight the enemy, and she will not be affected by anything, but in fact, each knight is connected to her strength, and a small part of the energy consumed by the knights when attacking and the impact they bear when defending will be fed back to her. [Full text reading] Therefore, when the knights were injured in a large area, Catherine's injuries were a collection of dozens or even hundreds of knights' blows, for this strong girl, such damage was still a little too heavy, as the knights dissipated one by one, Catherine's face became more and more pale, and the original wheat-like healthy complexion has now become like a blank piece of paper, without a trace of blood, but the girl's back is still as straight as a spear, maintaining a frontal confrontation posture until she heard Lina's exclamation。

Looking back, Catherine happened to see Lina being rolled up by the tentacles. When Lina fits perfectly with Earth's Praise, she can gain strength far beyond her in a few minutes, but once the time limit expires and these strength increases are lost, there will be a short period of time when she can't adapt. Moreover, this sudden strengthening of strength does not appear out of thin air, it can only be done by overdrawing mental power and magic power, so after the statute of limitations ends, not only will it fall back to its usual strength, but there will also be a short period of weakness.

When the strengthened strength quickly faded, and she could no longer control the earth like a body, she immediately issued a warning to Catherine, and at the same time quickly retreated, preparing to get out of the scope of the lurker's attack, an unexpected situation occurred.

The priest girl found that she still underestimated the cunning hunting instincts of the swamp lurkers, or rather, I am afraid that everyone present underestimated them. Lina, who was retreating, suddenly felt her ankles tighten, and it felt like she was suddenly entangled in something, and the girl's heart sank. Quickly looked down, and was surprised to find that the tentacles wrapped around his ankle were not the tentacles that had been quietly probed by the lurkers he had been paying attention to, but actually had been broken by Freya's crystal cannon and Vivien's magic before. A motionless stump that fell to the ground. No one thought that the lurker could actually control the tentacles that had left his body, and he would be so cunning that he could not control it all the time. Catherine and Eva had passed by the stump several times before, but the stump had not responded. Because of this, Lina neglected to be vigilant about the stump, who knew that the lurker was in disguise before, until the most suitable victim walked next to the tentacle and manipulated the stump to wrap Lina's ankle.

Obviously, the swamp lurker was premeditated, and just when Lina was entangled in the tentacles and could not break free, the lurker rushed a few meters in front of him, before the others could rescue him. The tentacles stretched as hard as they could, and several tentacles with slime rolled up Lina's body at the same time, as if they were afraid that she would be able to escape again, the tentacles cooperated to wrap her tightly, almost only one head was exposed, and before she could let out an exclamation, she was carried by the tentacles and flew into the air.

"Big sister, let's come. Vivien's voice stopped Catherine's preparations to turn back in time, and hearing the mage girl's voice, Catherine never looked at Lina in the air again. Instead, he turned his head back and stared intently at his opponent, continuing to cooperate with Eva and entangle with the swamp lurkers.

Freya and Vivien act at the same time. This time, the two girls no longer used ranged attacks to weaken the enemy's power unhurriedly, and at the same time changed the way of ranged attacks. Freya's hands flapped quickly on the cannon, which changed shape slightly with her slap, and by the time she had completed the transformation in three seconds, Vivien's magic had changed from an area-of-effect fireball to an ice spear aimed at a single target. The ice spear technique that Vivien had transformed was very strange, and it was directly reduced from the length of more than one meter to the length of an adult's forearm. Although the name is called an ice gun, it looks closer to an ice arrow thrown by hand. However, although the volume has decreased, the magic power inside has not only not decreased, but has even increased a lot, and the magic power that has been compressed with high strength contains more powerful destruction.

Vivien's hands were raised above her head at the same time, the girl's control over magic and magic structure can definitely rank among the top three in the world, others will be quite difficult to use to transform magic, in her hands like flowing water, the compressed ice spear continues to form in her left and right hands, the two arms that have recovered their health take turns, with the help of the ice lance's own magic power, they shoot far towards the swamp lurker's several tentacles wrapped around Lina.

Vivien was very clever in choosing a special target, she didn't attack the lurker's scaly tentacles in vain, nor did she attack the sarcoma that hurt the lurker the most, she chose to target the fleshy suckers on the lurker's tentacles. Although these lurkers have demigod-level physical strength, they are calculated by combining the scales and epidermis on the outside with the muscles on the inside, and if they lose the protection of the epidermis and scales, they will be able to fight against the muscles alone, and the defense ability of the lurkers will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the ice spear smoothly pierced into the tender flesh of the suction cup, and the magic power of the ice attribute exploded instantly, covering the lurker's suction cup with a thick layer of frost.

The next moment, Freya's crystal cannon resumed its roar. The power of the modified Crystal Cannon, which has been reduced, has decreased by several notches, but its concentration has increased, narrowing the striking range to a circular area about fifty centimeters in diameter. And due to the decrease in power, the frequency of attacks has also increased, and the roar of the cannon is almost in a series, and the fiery red energy projectiles are also lined up in the air, continuously hitting the tentacles of the lurkers. Seeing Vivien's chosen target, there was no need to speak, Freya also understood her intentions, and without a second of hesitation, the princess controlled the crystal energy cannon and cooperated with the mage girl, and launched a fierce bombardment of several suction cups of the tentacles at the same time.

The ice spear pierced the tender flesh and began to freeze, and the impact of the energy bullet shattered the frozen and necrotic muscles, leaving the wound back exposed to the air, and then the ice spear pierced again, launching a second round of freezing blows, and the two girls cooperated with each other, and within ten seconds, one of the tentacles wrapped around Lina was disconnected. At this time, the girls also discovered that for the lurkers, they can remotely control their broken tentacles to a certain extent, and make some of the simplest reactions, but the speed and complexity of the movements are far behind, and the strength is not as good as the golden level, if Lina was on guard just now, it is impossible to be disturbed by the tentacles, but unfortunately the lurkers are too deep, and they chose the most correct target to launch a surprise attack at the most critical time, which caused the current result.

Defeated by the cooperation of the two girls, it was one of the sixteen thickest main tentacles of the swamp lurkers, and its fracture brought great pain to the swamp lurkers. But for the attack of the two, the lurker only used some medium-sized tentacles to resist, and the main tentacles wrapped around Lina occasionally moved to avoid the attack, and most of the attention was focused on the captured prey, and the tentacles tightly strangled Lina's body like a python, wanting to directly strangle the bones of her body. For thousands of years, the Swamp Lurkers have used this method to destroy the resistance of their prey, and then bring them back to their nests to enjoy this delicious meal. And now it's the same, since being entwined by the tentacles, Lina has hung her head motionless, letting the power of the tentacles continue to squeeze, letting her bones rattle.

"Boom", another tentacle was cut off from it, but the previous broken tentacle was no longer spraying purple blood, and at the broken location, a large number of tiny flesh buds were squirming hard, and new tentacles were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is foreseeable that if the two of them continue to destroy the tentacles of the Lurker like this, with their speed, not only will they not be able to save Lina before she is strangled, but it will not be of any help to the results of the battle, even if they can cut off half of the tentacles of the Lurker, it can easily recover in a short period of time through its powerful regeneration ability.

This is an obvious thing, and most people can judge such a trend, but both Vivien and Freya seem to have not seen it, the same calm face, the same attack according to a certain frequency, with a rhythmic roar, as if forming a melody of war.

As the swamp lurker got closer, Lina's face grew redder, as if it was about to drip blood. The silver-haired priest girl seemed to have lost consciousness, and the ragdoll was swept around like tentacles.

However, when the third unsuspecting tentacle was broken by Freya and Vivien after the second ten seconds, Vivien suddenly raised her head and shouted, "It's time, it's now." ”

Hearing the mage girl's voice, Lina's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, due to the pain, the girl's eyes were already bloodshot, but even so, there was still a painful smile on her face, and the blue magic shield on her body that had been suppressed to the limit suddenly expanded outward by a few centimeters, giving her body a brief respite. At the same time, the silver magic book flew out of the entwined tentacles, almost hovering above the girl's head against her, and the magic book automatically opened to a certain page, and a faint beige light sprinkled from the magic book on the girl's head.

Lina's limbs were still immobile, but there was enough room to raise her head, staring at the levitating spell, and the corners of her smiling mouth gently spat out a chant: "Holy Guardian." ”

And so, the divine guardian came. To be continued.

ps: It's been the third day of the classification push, as for the effect, hehe. The collection has risen by about three hundred, and it is set to rise...... Snake eyes. This result is really embarrassing for me, and for this reason, I am embarrassed to talk to my editor, after all, this is a recommendation position that people have worked hard to earn for me. It is also for this reason that I am not in a very good mood today. But think about it again, this book is still four or five hundred thousand words about to end, and the quality of the grades is not so important for this book, if you think about it this way, you can still make yourself feel a little more comfortable, haha.

However, after putting the energy into the code word, the mood has been adjusted almost, and it looks like the average is going to be over three hundred, or a little happy, thank you for your support, rest assured, I will continue to work hard
