The relationship between the hunter and the prey changed in an instant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The other four shadow beasts watched as their companions swooped down. I was envious that my companion could taste the blood of the female human first, but I found that a pair of bows and arrows suddenly appeared in the hands of the female human who was empty-handed.
The three-headed shadow beast that pounced on it didn't have time to think about why the female human in front of her didn't have the slightest panicked expression, as if her appearance was a normal thing. It only had time to see the young female turn sharply, and a pair of bows and arrows appeared very abruptly in her hand. It saw that the short bow was stretched out like a full moon, and a sharp arrow with a cold glow was firmly on the string.
The three-headed shadow beast was running at full strength. The sudden appearance of the bow and arrow in front of it made it feel like it had fallen into a trap. If you keep moving forward, you will be shooting yourself into a sharp arrow. The arrow gleamed with a light that made it uncomfortable. This means that it is a magic arrow, with an energy attached to it that is very unfriendly to their species.
The three-headed shadow beast hurriedly braked. But its size, the size of the largest African lion, brings great inertia to running at high speeds. This caused its front paws to slow down and create sparks on the rocky ground. Just as the speed of the three-headed shadow beast was at its lowest, Sonia released her bowstring.
"Medium!" With a soft cry from Sonya, the sharp arrow off the string was like a lightning bolt that cut through the darkness, galloping to hit the three-headed shadow beast no more than fifteen meters away.
"Whew...... ......" The three shadow beasts that were hit by the arrow let out a terrible howl, causing the other four shadow beasts who had not reacted to stop coming to support. They couldn't understand how a small arrow could cause so much pain to a beast with such a large body, making it make an unbearable loud noise.
You know, in the shadow plane, because there are dim shadows everywhere, the function of vision is reduced to the extreme, but the sense of hearing and smell is developed to the extreme. In the shadow plane, the vast majority of creatures do not make easy noises. There are several creatures that are even born dumb!
Although Shadow Beasts are one of the dominant predators of the Shadow Plane, they are silent hunters in order to hunt their hearing prey. This beast rarely howled, and the Shadow Beast that howled like this now was something that the other Shadow Beasts present had never seen before.
Just as they hesitated, the three-headed shadow beast in the middle of the arrow underwent an astonishing change. The body, which had been shrouded in a gray-black mist, was revealed under a stronger and stronger light. For the first time, Sonia and Esther were able to see the creatures - big cats with crocodile-like scaly tails and sharp claws on their thick limbs. The most distinctive feature is its head. Where there should be a head, there are three slender necks growing absurdly. There is a head at the top of each neck. The three heads are a dog, a lizard, and a vulture.
In the lizard's head, a short ironwood arrow is inserted. The short arrow struck deep into the lizard's skull, causing the shadow beast great pain.
Not all of this suffering is caused by short arrows. More should be caused by the magic attached to the short arrow. It was a flash arrow. A flash arrow that was originally used to deliver messages and illumination.
For life on the shadow plane, the glare created by this flash arrow is lethal. The flash seemed to hit the most suitable enemy, not only did it inflict heavy damage on a shadow beast, but it also burned the shadow matter in the shadow beast's body, so that the entire beast could no longer escape into the shadows. Next, the entire body of the three-headed shadow beast became transparent under the effect of the bright light. The battered beast struggled violently in the intense light, letting out a heart-stopping howl. But none of this will save its fate. Ever since it was hit by a flash arrow, it had been doomed to death.
In the light, the figures of the other four shadow beasts were gradually revealed. Using the body of the three-headed shadow beast as fuel, a large area of the cavern was illuminated very clearly. The four shadow beasts, who felt tingling all over their bodies in the bright light and had lost their shadows, their greatest allies, had the idea of retreating temporarily. But before they could put it into action, terrible blows followed.
When the remaining four uninjured Shadow Beasts retreated because they hated the light, and wanted to get away from this area of light, a blow from the sky came.
Flares. Or flares. This weapon, which emits enormous amounts of light and gas when burned, was obtained by Esther from Master Gade of Bellafa. It does not make any sound when used, but it produces extremely strong light. This thing is extremely damaging to the eyes of any humanoid and animal, as well as to the light-sensing organs of the construct. The most common is short-term blindness, and some unlucky people can even lose sight for several months.
This is a damage to creatures with normal vision and daily activity in the sun. For an animal like the Shadow Beast, which is active in the shadow plane and whose strength is originally weak, the explosion of this flashbang can be regarded as a catastrophe.
When Esther regains his human form and drops a flashbang as he slides off the stalagmite, the Shadow Beasts are utterly tragic. Eyes accustomed to darkness suddenly receive a lot of light, especially more than two eyes. The pain caused the two two-headed shadow beasts to lose consciousness and pass out to the ground. The three-headed shadow beast immediately lost any fighting spirit, lowered its head, and ran in the direction it came from.
East, of course, won't let it run. He shook the universal cedar in his hand and turned it into a slender lasso. As the three-headed shadow beast ran past him, it flicked its noose, lassing two of the three heads.
The three-headed shadow beast, which had been running wildly, didn't notice this at all when it was thrown by Easter's lasso around its neck. As it continued to run wildly, the lasso immediately began to tighten. Then, the three-headed shadow beast that rushed forward at high speed with a huge inertia was pulled by the huge force from the lasso, and suddenly stopped. Its two necks suddenly snapped, and its entire body slid forward two meters due to inertia, turning into a strange posture with three heads behind and its body running to the front.
And the reason for all this is only because Esther tightened the noose with one arm the moment he hit the other party. The violent force that could break the neck of the three-headed shadow beast didn't make Esther move a centimeter. He smacked his tongue and shook his slightly sore arm a few times, once again feeling the powerful shock of Sonya's terrifying basic attributes.
The three-headed shadow beast that broke two necks lost at least two-thirds of its life at this time.
While East walked up intending to end it, it was also intending to make a final standout. A black arrow spat out from the mouth of the only movable head.
"Shadow arrow?" Esther easily blocked the arrow with a shield made of universal cedar, feeling the surface of the shield corroded by the arrows at a rapid pace.
"Oh!
"duang!" Esther flicked his shield and slammed it into the Shadow Beast's only movable head.
"It's a good thing that my shield isn't afraid of this!"
"duang!" Seeing that the stubbornly surviving head was dizzy and wanted to raise it again, Esther had to make up for it.
Life is a miracle. The shadow beast, which had broken two necks and had been beaten twice by Esther, was not even dead, and it trembled for the third time and raised its last movable head. It was originally a horse-like head, but after being beaten by Esther, it had become swollen like a pig's head.
"Resistant to heavy attack weapons?" Esther, who knew very well how hard he had just used his two heavy blows, looked at the stubborn Shadow Beast with some speechlessness.
"Okay! Let's try this. He put away the universal cedar and hugged the neck, which was slender compared to a pig's head.
And then a "stuck!" sound came from that neck.
"Now everyone is satisfied!"
While Esther was abusing the poor three-headed shadow beast, Sonya, who had been told by Esther to close her eyes beforehand, quickly killed it after the flash explosion.
Two two-headed shadow beasts that had fainted on the ground were the first targets to be cleared. Because Esther was on the back road, Sonia wasn't worried about the biggest and most headed guy escaping. In her opinion, the first way to destroy a weak enemy is to better fight a strong enemy.
Almost as soon as Esther lassoed the three-headed shadow beast, Sonia had already made her way to the first two-headed shadow beast at high speed. Without any need for a plan, Sonia drew her twin swords and slashed off both heads with a single blow. Then, in quick succession, she dodged a round of special ability attacks from the five-headed shadow beast. They are an acid shot, a shadow arrow, and a multicolored ball. But because of dodging these three types of spell attacks, Sonia gets close to another two-headed shadow beast for the first time every year. Just as Esther was dealing with the two-headed shadow beast, under the cover and help of the five shadow beasts, the two-headed shadow beast slowly woke up.
"It's two-on-two now. Isis walked over slowly, and formed a front and back attack with Sonia against the two shadow beasts.
The five-headed shadow beast looked agitated at this point. Through the series of battles it has just had, it has found itself facing two very formidable enemies. Yes, it's two people. It looked at Esther and Sonia at the same time with two different heads. While the humans looked similar to the Shadow Beast, the two enemies this time made it indistinguishable for a moment - they were exactly the same.
If the Shadow Beast could speak, it would definitely say, "Hero, it's all a misunderstanding, let me go!"
Unfortunately, although this creature is highly intelligent, it is not an intelligent creature, and it is impossible for it to learn to speak, let alone speak a lingua franca.
At this time, the beast realized its predicament. That's why it did its best to rescue the two-headed shadow beast. At this time, it is much better to have one of the same kind around you than to fight alone.
The two-headed shadow beast kept roaring loudly in the direction of the two girls, trying to intimidate the two formidable enemies. But it does so only proves the fear of the heart. Interestingly, its two heads were able to make different vocalizations, which surprised Esther and Sonya. Soon, however, both Sonia and Easter's brows tightened, for the screams of the thing were so unpleasant.
