Chapter VIII
The heavily armored guy wasn't very fast, but his momentum was extremely violent, and every step was accompanied by a violent crash. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info The voice echoed through the not-so-spacious cavern, getting louder and louder, and gradually resembling thunder.
"Now I know why the previous adventurers were all wiped out. Divol swallowed and foamed, clenched his hands on the tomahawk, took a deep breath, and assumed a fighting stance.
The foremost Ravel has disappeared at some point, apparently using his proud stealth skills to hide in the shadows of the subterranean cavern. When the time is right, he will naturally leap out and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy from behind.
"I'm on alert!" Red said aloud, arrows wound, looking around vigilantly for any possible sneak attack.
In the face of a well-equipped team of adventurers, it is almost impossible to defeat or even kill them all by head-on combat. The most dangerous thing for them is a possible sneak attack by the enemy.
Just like the group of adventurers before them, it wasn't the charge of the heavily armored monster that really defeated them at all, but the combined sneak attack of the fire elemental, the earth-walking monster, and the spellcaster. If it weren't for the fact that they were beaten in a hurry, according to their usual normal configuration, the outcome would not yet be known!
So don't look at the fact that Divol and Morton have to face that seemingly vicious and powerful monster, which seems to be very dangerous and important, in fact, it is not them who have the heaviest task in the team, but Red.
He has a great responsibility to be on guard against enemy attacks, to protect the boss who hired them, Palin, from the frail young mage, and to be ready to use the scroll to lead everyone to escape!
But they all overlooked one thing.
Although Palin, who was protected by them in the middle, was not very old, he was definitely not weak!
Watch as the heavily armored guy rumbles over. Parin was unhurried and dug into the space bag with his left hand. He took out the spell casting materials, and drew a circle in the air with his right wand in a hurry. The power of a wand was used instead of a spell-casting ritual, and a spell was pronounced from his mouth.
A dull yellow light flew out of his hand and hit the ground in front of the enemy, spreading out in an instant, turning into a layer of oil that was clearly visible even in the dim light.
"Greasy Technique!"
This spell creates an area covered in oil, and if the enemy is not athletic enough and does not have the right spell support, they will be constrained in that area. It can stumble and stumble all the way, or it will fall directly. After getting up, you have to continue to fall.
The guy in heavy armor was obviously not an agile type, and as soon as he stepped on the oil layer, he heard a boom and fell heavily to the ground, falling on all fours.
"Well done!" exclaimed Divor.
Greasy is not an advanced spell that even a novice mage can learn. But how to use it in a timely and accurate manner in battle is not something that a new mage can do.
Because he had been under their protection before, Parin never had a chance to show his strength, and he was indeed very young. made the adventurers mistakenly think that he was weak and just a rich rookie.
But the performance just now proves that he is definitely not as rookie as he looks on the outside, this dwarf boy who doesn't seem to be an adult yet. He's a good spellcaster.
That's great news!
The morale of the adventurers was boosted, and just then, Morton had completed his spell.
He shouted the name of the Lord of Light. Raise the hammer. The emblem on the warhammer glowed brightly, and a huge emblem appeared in the air in an instant. Envelops a large area of the surrounding area.
The light of the emblem came and went as fast as it came, but everyone could clearly feel a surge of power pouring into their bodies. Make them stronger and more determined, full of confidence in victory.
This is the power of the god of war, and the reason why the Lord of Radiance can become the main god of the human god system is the most important reason for his vital priesthood, as well as the exclusive spells that accompany it.
The scope of this magic is extremely vast, enveloping not only the companions, but also the enemies who are hiding around them.
But for the enemy, the effect of this magic is not to inspire and strengthen, but to weaken and suppress.
A muffled grunt came from the shadows in the distance, and Red's eagle-sharp eyes immediately cast to that side, noticing a figure swaying slightly inside.
In the next moment, the cold light flickered, and Rafael, who had already sneaked behind the enemy, waved his dagger, which was a fierce backstab!
His knife is really deep in the essence of the word "steady and ruthless", and he went down to the handle with a knife, and he stirred it up. If it is flesh and blood, this knife is definitely a fatal wound directly, and it may not even have time to be rescued.
But with a stab, Raffel's face changed greatly, and he didn't think about it, so he let go of his right hand that held the dagger, and let the beloved weapon be lost, and quickly retreated under his feet, like a frightened rabbit, and jumped far away from the man.
At the same time, he shouted, "Lich!"
His voice was very loud, and he was shouting as hard as he could, and the sound echoed through the cave, making everyone's ears buzz a little.
But everyone didn't have time to complain, and Qi brushed his face changed.
The Lich, the kind of terrifying monster that the caster has fallen to escape death and transformed?
Red reacted the fastest, and without even thinking about it, an arrow was shot at the black man. He didn't even bother to look at the effect of this arrow, and with his backhand pulled out an arrow from the quiver with a milky white glow at the top, and fired his bow again, brushing another arrow.
His arrows were accurate, and both arrows hit the target. Not only did it interrupt the spell that the figure was about to cast, but the second arrow containing powerful divine power hit the head accurately.
The head is the key to most lichs!
Not only that, but Red continued to shoot his bow and arrows, shooting out the precious sacred arrows without hesitation.
These arrows cost one gold coin and are powerful, silver arrows can deal extra damage to many dark creatures, and all of them have been enshrined in the Temple of the Lord of Light for at least a month. Priests and priests have performed special prayers that give it the added power to ward off evil spirits.
Although the fragile arrows are difficult to preserve in battle. This makes each arrow can only be used once, which is expensive. But when it comes to fighting evil monsters, especially death monsters. It is undoubtedly the most reliable weapon for archers!
Of course, the Lich is also a death-type monster, and the Holy Arrow can not only cause great damage to it, but also make it unable to concentrate, and it cannot cast a single spell.
Because Red held it back, everyone's battle was much easier.
Divor's divine power exploded with the blessing of Morton's divine magic, and with an axe, he cut the heavily armored guy in half - inside the armor was a zombie, and after being split in half, it suddenly emitted a terrible stench, which was as disgusting as the stinky cloud technique. Palin used a spell to blow a fresh breeze to banish the terrible stench. Saved everyone's nose.
Morton, on the other hand, seized the time to make up for a spell that completely deprived the zombie of its vitality and quickly turned into ashes, no longer being a threat to everyone.
After taking out the zombie, they set out to lay siege to the lich.
The unlucky lich had apparently consumed a lot of mana in the previous battle with the group of adventurers, and even the protective spells on his body had not been replenished in time. Embarrassed by the unwielding Rhett, he howled angrily again and again, but he couldn't think about it.
Of course, it had tried to escape, but Rafael, who had just jumped into the shadows, came out from behind it. This time he had a short hand axe in his hand, and an axe slashed heavily at its neck.
The lich's body was just a skeletal protected by spells, and although it was much stronger than a normal skeleton, it was also badly damaged by this axe. The head was not cut off. But looking at its swaying appearance, it was obviously blinded.
Ravel, of course, will not let go of the opportunity, and picks up the short axe with an axe, an axe, and two axes...... It's like cutting down a tree.
After he was slapped away by the Lich. Divor, too, rushed over, his minotaur axe was no match for Raffel's camping axe. Pick up the axe with both hands and roar. Hit the head hard.
The lich, who had already been beaten by Red and Ravel, was cut in half with an axe before he could react. From the left shoulder to the right waist, I don't know how many bones were broken together, and the body was divided into two, the lower body was scattered, and the upper body still retained some vitality, and it was still struggling when it fell to the ground.
At this time, Parin's spell arrived again. He cast an ice spell, and a blue-white light shone on the remaining half of the lich's body, instantly turning into ice, freezing it in it.
"Morton!" Palin shouted, "seal it!"
Morton, who had been preparing the Divine Prayer, nodded, changed his previous plan, and through a lengthy prayer, he exerted divine power to turn a silver chain into a sparkling one, and then used this chain to bind the ice firmly with the lich inside.
Now, it's hard to fly with wings!
"Alright, when you get back, send it to the temple to be purified. Morton breathed a sigh of relief, and because of his joy, he said a few more words, "Even if it has a life box at that time, it will not want to escape!"
The Lich is a very troublesome monster, and if it is simply killed, it can be resurrected after a while with the help of its pre-prepared life box. To truly kill it, it is often necessary to use divine power, such as a sacred weapon that can destroy evil—not a large road commodity such as a sacred arrow, but a divine weapon that is famous in the world, in the true sense of the word.
Divine weapons are of course very rare, so in most cases, adventurers choose to seal it up and send it to the temple for purification.
As for the mages, they tend to use spells to find the Lich's lifebox, and then use the lifebox to control the Lich.
Uh, what a waste of killing......
Everyone looked at each other and laughed at the moans of "Who's going to pull me!!"
They won!
Soon after, they found five corpses not far away, four belonging to the dead adventurer, one belonging to the earthwalking monster they had killed, and a mass of ashes in a bottle, the remains of the fire elemental.
It was only then that they really put their minds at ease and put an end to this short but fierce battle in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
