Chapter 663: Booby Traps and Tests
Thousands of miles away in the woods, Victor is in a little trouble.
According to the booby trap plan formulated in advance, the three highnesses Victor, Clark, and Strange are responsible for infiltrating the mine where the goblin lord is hiding, luring the manticore to an ambush point at the foot of the Boulder Mountains, and handing it over to Turnans and Ron first. If Ron fails to kill the Manticore alone, everyone will strike together. Clement and Testiel took the rest of the men to hide further away, providing force and magic support if necessary. Because most people can't hide the manticore's sense of danger, they can only hide away to avoid scaring it away.
If the Manticore chooses to run away, it will be in trouble, and the decapitation team will not have much time to entangle with it.
The manticore fled. The first time it saw the bone bead in Victor's hand, it turned around and ran, without delaying for even half a second, looking like a rabbit being chased by a hungry wolf.
Victor and the two Tempest Paladins were dumbfounded, they shot hundreds of orc guards rushing from near the pit, broke out of the encirclement, found a remote place to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to hunt down the manticore. Because there are tens of thousands of orc armies stationed near the pit where the goblin lord is hiding, it is not difficult to break through on the ground with the strength of the squad, and if you enter the narrow pit, it will definitely be worse to be blocked by the orc army. The Goblin Lord didn't succeed, and he left the Manticore alone, and it wandered outside for a while, and it was still possible to return to the Goblin Lord's side.
Strange, who had seen the Goblin Lord, stayed behind to spy on the Pit, Clark returned to inform everyone that things had changed and asked Tystiel to deal with it, and Victor was alone and tracked down the fleeing Manticore. It took him two days to get behind the manticore, go around a circle of thousands of kilometers, and chase him into a forest.
The woods are covered with tall, straight Pierce fir trees, whose trunks and leaves are like swords that pierce the sky, protecting them from the ravages of the wind and snow and allowing the sun to shine on the ground. As a result, the woodland grows many low shrubs and meadows, and is a frequent area for predators and monsters.
Victor wielded a long sword of pure gold, stepping on the withered yellow meadow, unhurriedly weaving through the woodland. The howl of a gnolll cub could be heard in the distance, and he couldn't help but furrow his long, straight eyebrows.
Not all gnolls have wild instincts, but gnolls generally have violent members who are able to sense danger and keep their members quiet. Victor didn't deliberately hide himself, but his aura was close to nature, walking in the forest had its own "invisible" effect, and the gnoll's lair was far away from his location, so it was normal for the fierce gnoll to not find him. The manticore is a fierce beast, but the gnoll cubs are still practicing howling in the woods, which shows that the manticore can hide its presence like Turnans.
This is obviously bad news.
The manticore certainly doesn't have a golden toad secret form, then it is born to master the touch of the heart.
Victor foresaw this, but still felt the extra pressure. The Manticore's powerful talent for prophecy has increased the difficulty of the hunt operation by a level, and the margin for error in the entire decapitation plan has become much smaller.
The Manticore is a monster left over from ancient times!
Victor scrutinizes the woods, searching for the marks left by the alchemist soldiers. In between tracking down his prey, he released a letter crow and summoned four alchemy soldiers to help. They are an important part of Victor's realignment of the hunt plan.
"Master, this way. ”
"Master, this way. ”
Lin Feng caught the flickering voice of the alchemy soldier and reached Victor's ears, and the howling of the jackal cub suddenly stopped. He listened for a moment, determined his bearing, a smile on his lips, and with the hilt of his sword in his backhand, he moved quickly towards the source of the sound, the dry grass rustling under his boots, and in a moment he came to a glade, and saw the terrible monster.
The manticore-tailed lion is unfamiliar to mortals in the human realm, and in the bard's horror stories, it is described as a lion with dragon wings and a scorpion tail that feeds exclusively on human young children. There are many references to manticores in the literature of the Chosen One.
The manticore, also known as the flying lion monster, has a red lion body, a human face, human ears, and three rows of sharp teeth in the upper and lower jaws, and its eyes are as vicious as a jealous woman in her heart, and as contemptuous as a violent man in her heart, so it is the embodiment of violence and jealousy, and will often imitate their respective voices, luring the victim into the darkness and enjoying it alone.
The legendary monster was lying in the open space three hundred meters in front of Victor, its body was twice as large as an ordinary spotted tiger, weighing at least 1 ton, its red mane was like a flowing flame, sandwiched with a yellow sand-like luster, but there was a shocking huge scar between its chest and abdomen, which seemed to have been eroded by acid for a long time, looking ugly and hideous.
It swayed its scorpion tail slightly, and on the ground beside it lay the remains of a blackened, flesh-and-blood human, with six-legged alligator leather armor and a adamantite battle axe revealing his identity.
The half-lion, half-scorpion monster had an ape face, and its mouth full of sharp teeth opened and closed, making a voice similar to that of some alchemical soldier:
"Master, this way. ”
Victor's dark gold pupils shrank slightly, and the manticore imitated the voices of different alchemy soldiers, luring him to appear, indicating that the alchemy soldiers who came to reinforce were finished.
Alchemy soldiers are too far behind the manticore, but after all, they have the strength comparable to the middle-level knights, and they have the talent of spiritual connection, and the 4 alchemy soldiers who are not afraid of death cooperate with each other, and there is a high probability that they can kill silver-level monsters. The point is that the soul fire level of alchemy creatures is extremely high, and they can be immune to the transcendent attacks of most spiritual classes. Victor had thought that the 4 alchemy soldiers would be able to cause some trouble for the manticore, but the result was a big disappointment for him.
The manticore lies lazily on the ground, with a humanized playful expression on its face, and its miserable green pupils are reminiscent of poison.
Victor and the Manticore looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes felt a slight tingle in their eyes, and they couldn't help but blink.
The manticore pounced silently, and in the blink of an eye, the huge, strong claws were handed to Victor, and in the next moment they could tear his entire body apart.
At this moment, Victor's eyes have turned into pure dark gold, in the face of the manticore's swift and ferocious attack, he is like a god mansion that penetrates all secrets, the flow of time slows down 30 times in his indifferent gaze, raising his left hand wrapped in the adamantite armor, gently pinching one of the claw blades that the manticore pops out, and slamming outward, the unstoppable force makes the monster's attack completely deformed, and the pure gold sword in his right hand shines with indigo streamer, piercing the position of the monster's heart pulsation.
Apocalypse!
The body of the light spirit turns into the body of the rock!
Blue Blade!
Apocalypse can't really slow down time, it's just that Victor's thinking speed has increased by 30 times, and the movements of the manticore and himself have also slowed down by 30 times in his perception, but his shot is faster than the manticore, and the power of the rock body explosion may not be as good as the manticore, but it is enough to throw the other party into the sky, and it is even easier to break its claws.
The indestructible blue blade stabbed accurately into the manticore's chest, and Victor immediately felt a cascading supple resistance, making it difficult for the Adamantite longsword attached to the Void Wind Elemental to advance any longer. The blue brilliance spread along the resistance of the manticore, dyeing half of its body with a blue halo of leaping arcs, and in the crackling sound, it turned into a blue-black violent air current, which spread behind it along the layers of resistance.
The Blue Wolf Blade is actually ineffective?!
Before the manticore could adjust its movements, its ears, eyes, nose, mouth, side ribs, and groin were each stabbed again.
The blue light flickered repeatedly, the hurricane swept through the woodland, the bushes broke and fell, and the incisions were flat as if they had been cut by sharp blades.
Victor's series of ferocious attacks were ineffective, but the manticore could not maintain his balance, staggering to his feet. The Flying Lion, whose self-esteem had been severely damaged, raised its scorpion tail and threw out an afterimage that stabbed the enemy in the chest.
The speed of the manticore's tail flicking was as fast as lightning, and Victor was in the state of the apocalypse, and the body of the rock switched to a light body, like a formless ghost, shaking his body, avoiding the deadly tail thorn, and flashing to 30 meters away.
The manticore almost forced his void walk out of the way with this blow.
Failing to hit the enemy with his killer moves, the manticore retreats and growls at Victor like a baby's cry.
Victor opened his mouth, showed the bone bead in his mouth, smiled contemptuously, and turned and flew away.
The manticore-tailed lion saw the bones of his former partner, his miserable green eyes shot a half-inch-long gleam, and his ape-like face showed strong violence, silently chasing Victor and jumping out of the forest.
The Will of the Alchemy Militia has simple and accurate information about the Manticore. The Manticore is a direct descendant of the ancient Behemoth, the Lord of the Cave, Manticor, and the relationship between them is the equivalent of the Hydra Lizard and the King of Kurosawa.
Manticol may indeed have a pair of dragon wings, but his descendants do not. The manticore, also known as the Flying Lion Monster, does not fly. It's just that the Manticore's psychic field talent can withstand all kinds of damage, which can be called invulnerable, and can also form a glide channel free of air resistance, coming and going freely in complex terrain, as if flying.
The manticore's second talent is telesensal telesensing, which is actually the touch of the heart. However, the manticore is able to detect the sounds that its prey desires to hear, lure the prey to its side by mimicking the sound, and then paralyze the prey with its venomous gaze before it is easily captured.
Poisonous Gaze: The manticore's gaze paralyzes the target's soul and acts on the body, poisoning the weaker creatures directly. Powerful creatures that can be used as prey by manticores and booby-trapped will certainly not be poisoned by the poisonous gaze, but will gradually be paralyzed. The power of the venomous gaze increased with the time the manticore's gaze, and by the time the prey reacted, it was too late.
Manticores are demons of the dark, the most insidious of assassins, they rarely come head-on with their prey, and although their minions can easily tear through Adamantite armor, they are more powerful than the Ogre Overseers, and their bodies are extremely tough, but in ancient times, their physique and strength were mediocre, and their tail spikes were their weapons to deter powerful enemies.
The tail spines of an adult manticore can paralyze even a real dragon, and it is only a matter of time before a small-sized opponent is stung by a manticore, and death is only a matter of time.
The manticore's poisonous gaze is their main means of defeating the enemy, but in the final analysis, it is still a mental talent, and its effect on creatures with strong mental attributes is limited, but the poisonous gaze is ingenious in that it is not a lethal skill, it is difficult to touch the target's mental stress, and it is resistant to psychic toxins. The manticore is through the "affectionate" gaze, slowly paralyzing the mind of a powerful opponent.
Therefore, the Manticore must run fast and not lose its target, and it must be smooth enough not to be killed by its opponents.
The psychic force field provides the manticore with extraordinary speed and defense.
How fast is a manticore?
Victor doesn't need a light body and a wind walk, he really can't outrun it. After the Gold-tier Tempest Knight is semi-elementalized, it can also shake off the Manticore and fight against its poisonous gaze. However, the average Tempest Rider has to compete with the Manticore, and when they run out of fighting energy, they will most likely fall into the manticore's mouth. The Tempest Paladin has a divine blessing and fighting spirit, but he can entangle with the manticore.
However, the defense of the psychic force field is extremely perverted, Victor's old enemy and the blue blade can't break the defense of the manticore, even if he can track the manticore, in the end, it is a competition of physical strength, and in the end, I am afraid that no one can help anyone.
Legend has it that the creature did not have the slightest ability to press the bottom of the box, and it would have been extinct long ago.
The manticore chased after Victor, glaring at his back with his eyes. Victor didn't feel any discomfort, he had bone beads in his mouth, and there was a faint sweetness that moistened his heart, and the taste was like Sylvia's kiss.
Victor was still very weak, and Sylvia, fearing that he would be poisoned, gave the manticore's poison sac bone bead to her lover. This bone bead embodies Sylvia's love for him, and Victor can naturally feel the sweetness in his mouth, but the will of the goddess spirit knight is not friendly to others.
Even if Victor puts the bone beads in a conspicuous position, ordinary people will automatically ignore them. Testiel looked at the bone beads a few times, and there was a sense of oppression, let alone playing with it in his hand. Mistakenly believing that this was the effect of the Manticore's remaining will, Sylvia specifically erased the negative effects of the bone beads for Victor.
It wasn't until the manticore-tailed lion saw the bone beads and fled in panic that Victor realized that Sylvia had gathered on it.
Manticores are fearsome and insidious assassins, and they are not brave in the first place. Sylvia left a deep psychological shadow on the male monster, so much so that he did not dare to avenge his mate.
The Manticore is essentially a legendary monster with a water elemental affinity, and its poisonous gaze and psychic force field are both transformations of the Void Water element. Sylvia actually used the Void Water Element to break its psychic force field, no wonder it felt Sylvia's breath and was scared to death.
Victor is still a little angry, how can the famous Count of the Golden Eye be compared to his own wife?
The Flying Lion Monster's psychic force field is flexible and fine, endless, and it doesn't leave a hand, but the Void Wind Element has the extraordinary characteristics of sharp armor piercing, and is especially good at breaking through faces with points. Rivals, Blue Blades, and Charged Strikes can't do anything with the Manticore, and Victor is eager to see if he can hold off his tracking arrows.
However, he had promised to bring the Manticore to the Paladin Ron. If Ron is promoted to the Radiant God of War, he promises Victor to solve the flaw in Caligula's mind and not abduct Aka.
So, the manticore's choice to run away caused Victor a lot of trouble. He summoned 4 alchemy soldiers to help, in fact, he used them to build confidence in the manticore. The manticore kills 4 alchemy soldiers, and finally arouses the violence and jealousy in its nature, and it lets go of its fears and realizes that the terrible woman is here.
Killing her spouse would give her a taste of what she had suffered...... The manticore stared at Victor and killed him even if he reached the end of the mountain.
The manticore, with its huge scarred body, chased Victor and jumped up a cliff with ease, its four paws fluttering over the smooth glacier, gliding as fast as it was flying, its dark green eyes chasing the back of its prey's head, watching its prey get closer and closer to it, and its ape-like face showed an excited and brutal expression.
At this moment, it suddenly noticed that the prey was speeding past a tiny dot that was rapidly growing in size, occupying its entire vision and mind in an instant. It was a bald-headed and barefoot giant, his mountain-like tall body had white-gold runes on it, and it turned slowly, and a big white-gold hand covered the sky, the mountains, the glaciers, and the giant himself...... The sun and moon were gone, the heavens and the earth were turned upside down, and it seemed that the whole world was left with this platinum palm slapped down on him, and the manticore couldn't help but let out a baby's cry.
In Victor's eyes, Master Ron stood still, waiting for the manticore to run over, raise his white-gold palm and simply slap it on its head. The manticore howls and dies instantly.
Evil Breaking Strike, a level 6 holy warrior's unique divine skill, claimed to be able to eliminate all extraordinary abilities of the attack divine technique. The high-ranking paladins used the Hexbreaker against the ancient wizards and later shocked the Transcendent Knights, and Ron killed the Manticore with the Hexbreaker today.
Of course, the effect of the Evil Breaking Strike is related to the spiritual level of the Holy Warrior, and an ordinary level 6 Holy Warrior will definitely not be able to kill the legendary creature Manticore in one blow.
Victor stared at Master Ron's chest and asked in a heavy voice, "Master, are you alright?"
The manticore's tail thorn is piercing Ron's left chest in the heart!
The paladin plucked out the manticore's tail thorn, and the thumb-sized hole in the heart healed rapidly, sealing the terrible toxin in its body. Without saying a word, he turned to leave, his expression as calm as ever.
Tournans walked over from a distance, took the manticore by the neck, looked at Ron's back, and said with a reverent and solemn expression:
"The teacher is beginning to be tested by the Lord....... let's go back. ”
