Chapter Twenty-Six: The Price of Strength
"Cut off its fingers!" Simon hurriedly ordered, if the beasts swarmed the walls, there would be no way for those present to hold the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info "Whoever cuts off his finger will be rewarded with 100 gold coins, whoever cuts off his palm will be rewarded with 1,000 gold coins, and whoever kills the giant beast will be rewarded with 5,000 gold coins!"
Only then did the mercenaries rush to the beast's hand and slash their fingers.
The giant beast let the weapon in its own hand, and there was no reaction, and Simon, who saw this scene, frowned, if the giant beast fought back, the beasts on his body would be shaken to the ground, and this round of attack would not only not let the beasts rush to the city wall, but also make them lose.
But the beast didn't fight back, which meant that an unprecedented assault was coming.
The monster jumped to the mercenary like rain, sowed fear and death with its fangs and claws, and in just a few minutes, the casualties were far greater than the sum of the previous days.
Ai Wen's brows also furrowed, if the city was really breached, not only would he not be able to get the message of the Oriental Boy, but even whether he could escape from the city was a problem, and now, he had to go all out.
Under his command, several beast-shaped light spirits suddenly rushed down the arms of the giant beast and slashed towards the eyes of the giant beast with all their might, but unfortunately, the monsters standing on the giant beast swarmed up and tore the two light spirits to pieces.
However, Simon, who saw the light in action, thought of something, "All the mana and the archers protect the eyes of the giant beast!"
The magic arrows that were originally aimed at the beasts merged into a beam of colorful light, tearing apart the monsters in front of the giant beasts and covering its eyes.
"Roar!!" the giant beast covered its eyes and retreated, its huge body falling backwards due to the building behind its feet, and slammed into the herd, filling the air with smoke and dust, and the beasts below it suffered heavy casualties......
Simon's brows are still furrowed, the biggest threat is solved, but the battle situation is still much more serious than a few days ago, nearly half of the city wall is crowded with monsters who are not afraid of death, and on the edge, more and more monsters have jumped up, and the advantage of human beings no longer exists.
The timid mercenaries, some of whom had already dropped their weapons and turned to run away, but Simon had no chance of punishing the deserters, and the soldiers with their backs to the strong enemy were the weakest soldiers, and no monster would give up these easiest prey.
"Rosa, buy me time!" Witnessing the tragedy in front of him, Simon, who was angry, seemed to have made up his mind.
"But, your body ......" Rosa hurriedly stopped in front of Simon, but when she saw Simon's expression, she lowered her head obediently.
Rosa faced the beasts, chanting strange syllables loudly, the temperature around herd, gradually decreased, in the hot summer day, snowflakes, slowly falling from the air, every time it fell on a monster, a flower of ice, will struggle regardless of it, gorgeous open.
Soon, a wall of ice stood between humans and monsters, impassable by anyone.
Simon stuck the black sword on the ground, knelt in front of the sword, silently read something, on the sword, the runes that could not be seen lit up one by one, when the whole sword lit up, he cut his palm with a dagger, blood splashed on the black sword, the sword jumped into Simon's hand like a living thing, and shined.
Simon's body was lit with black flames, and he felt the incomparable power pour into his body, and then exploded, and the black flames turned into a line, melting the ice, and killing the monsters inside.
Rosa looked painfully at her husband, who was covered in flames, and fainted to the ground.
The flames swallowed the monsters one by one, and they turned to ashes before they could scream.
"That sword is fun. The voice of the book suddenly sounded. "It's better for you than the city lord. β
"What do you mean?"
"The characteristic of this sword is that on the premise of ignoring the master's ability to bear, the surrounding energy is forcibly poured into the master's body. The sun, the vegetation, the surrounding air, and the devoured strong enemies, the energy deprived from everywhere, far beyond the ability of ordinary people, made the master strong and abnormal, but also destroyed the master's body, I think, this is the cause of the city lord, and the energy I detected in him before should be the residual energy of the previous use of that sword. β
"But I don't have any problems with this sword. Evan took his mouth, "All the energy it absorbs will flow into my inner world and be absorbed by you before I can bear it, right?"
"As you say. β
"Since I can't exert its power at all, why should I risk a showdown with Simon to take this sword that doesn't mean much to me?"
"While you use this sword, I will leave the right amount of strength according to the endurance of your body, so, it is useful, I hope you can consider my suggestion, let this sword, get the owner that matches it. β
"You think I'll take the treasures of the noble ones who regard me as a friend?" said Aven with a smirk.
"If it's in good faith. Shu paused, "Now he has the strength to rule the city even if he doesn't use this sword, but what this sword brings him will only be death." When you get this sword, you gain power, and he gains time, which is what humans call a win-win. β
"If I had the chance, I would consider it. After thinking for a moment, Evan nodded.
"It's a wise decision, and when the time comes in your heart, I'll tell you the way to defeat that sword. β
"But until then, I'm going to live. Aiwen's gaze fell on the bottom of the city wall.
The monsters on the city walls had been killed, and all the defenders stared at the demonic existence in the dark flames with a mixture of fear and admiration.
At this time, there was a vibration sound under the city wall again, and the giant beast supported the ground, slowly rising, its eyelids slowly opened, and the eyes that should have disappeared appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.
The beast covered its eyes with one hand and with the other on the city, and once again, the bridge was built.
Death on the walls did not break the will of the beast tide, and in the face of the monsters in the black flames, they once again, rushed upward.
Blood slowly seeped out of Simon's skin, burned out in the black flames, turned into energy, and returned to his body, skin, flesh, bones, every inch was full of power, but this power seemed to be inside him at any time, detonating him.
Like his ancestors, he was born pain-free, and it was because of this that he was able to wield the sword with easeβthe last power to protect the city.
