Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 37 The Battle Ends
The mad lion-man had completely lost his mind, his attention was all on Russell's body, and his killing nature had been completely imprinted in his mind.
If it weren't for Sister Marlene to perform the obstruction magic behind Russell, then this mad lion-man would definitely be the most difficult enemy Russell has encountered in this world today.
Just looking at his long claws sticking out of his fingertips, and his fangs glittering in the sun, all attest to the danger that the lionman is showing today.
Although the Lion-Man was limited by Sister Marlene's magical magic, with only the Lion-Man's huge body as large as an ordinary house, he could take a single step comparable to Russell's distance of five steps.
So Russell had to dodge his attacks flexibly in order to find an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
Russell was able to dodge the lionman's attack every time, but he couldn't dodge the impact of the lionman's attack, and every time the lionman's hammer hit the ground, the mountain stream would shake, and then sputter countless small pieces of gravel and dirt.
Normally, these inconspicuous rubbles can be kicked away with a casual kick, but if driven by a powerful force, they can also be turned into invisible weapons of terror.
Russell kept rolling in embarrassment to dodge the debris that shot him, and there were still a lot of rubble on his back, Russell gritted his teeth and insisted on continuing to dodge, and he was also observing the various flaws in the lionman.
If it weren't for Sister Marlene's constant distractions and obstacles to the lionman, Russell felt that he would have no choice but to escape, and that such a crazy enemy would be an irrational choice to fight with him.
However, the lionman's physical strength is limited after all, and even if he turns into a giant beast, he will feel tired and his movements will become sluggish.
Russell held out until this point in order to wait for this opportunity to counterattack.
It's just that the battle situation is always unexpected, and as soon as the lion man looked a little tired, the purple stone in his heart overflowed purple mist again, and all the plants touched by the mist withered, and at the same time, the lionman's attack speed increased a lot again.
Russell immediately discovered that the key to the lionman's regain of strength was the purple stone in the lionman's heart!
It absorbs the vitality of nearby plants to provide a constant supply of strength to the lionman.
At this time, Sister Marlene in the distance was also a little unable to hold on, and she weakly shouted to Russell: "Your Excellency Russell, the power of my faith is about to be exhausted, the power of this monster is really too strong, I can only delay his action for five minutes at most!"
Russell was also very anxious at this time, but the lionman's fist was very powerful and his attack speed was very fast, so Russell had no chance to get close to his side.
The purple mist emanating from the lionman's heart continued to drift into the distance, even touching Russell's body, which was not too close to the lionman.
Of course, this mist also drifted above Russell's sword, the Hero's Relic.
As if sensing something, the relics of Yingjie were absorbed by it into the sword body, and the sapphire embedded in the sword grid sensed the existence of purple mist, and immediately emitted a faint light.
This sudden change in his hand was naturally noticed by Russell, and he was surprised to find that the heroic relics in his hand seemed to repel this strange mist.
And the purple mist seemed to be very afraid of the glowing sapphire on the relics of Yingjie, forming a vacuum around Russell.
At this time, Russell suddenly had a guess in his mind, could it be that this purple mist was afraid of Yingjie's legacy? Russell decided to take immediate action to prove his idea.
Russell raised his sword and swung it casually forward, and then the purple mist seemed to be conscious, and immediately floated away along the trajectory of Yingjie's legacy.
Russell verified the conjecture in his heart through this phenomenon, and Russell's heart was determined, since this is the case, then Russell now has a way to deal with the lion man!
The trees around the lionman had been swallowed up by the purple stones, and in order to maintain the strength of the lionmen to continue the attack, the stones would have to scatter their purple mist farther away.
However, in this mountain stream full of gravel and earth, the original plants are very scarce, and in order to absorb too much plant vitality, the lion man has to move to a very dense area of vegetation.
This special circumstance gave Russell a way to reduce the strength of the lionman, and now the battlefield he fought with the lion man was the top of a mountain stream, behind the lion man was a steep cliff, and there was dense vegetation far away on the other side, so that Russell could completely control the lion man in place, so that the power of the lion man would continue to decrease.
The mad lion-man had completely lost his mind, how could he know Russell's plan, and when he saw Russell coming towards him, he raised his head and roared to the sky, and then waved his arms towards Russell.
At this time, even if Sister Marlene did not understand what Russell was going to do, she knew that Russell would not do anything to die, so she also tried all her strength to cooperate with Russell's actions to stop the lionman's attack.
As Russell had predicted, the mist that shrouded the lionman was really afraid of the light of the hero's legacy, and it no longer even spread too much outside, but instead all gathered into the lionman's heart and no longer absorbed the life force of the plant.
Russell deliberately made the lionman make very physically demanding movements, and as time passed, the lionman's movements gradually slowed down without the supply of strength, and more and more heavy air came out of his mouth.
At this time, it was finally time for Russell to launch a counterattack! Russell held the legacy of Yingjie and dodged the fierce hammer blow of the lionman.
Russell arched himself and went directly to the back of the lionman, and Russell did not hesitate at all, and directly cut the lionman's Achilles tendon.
The lion man couldn't help but exhale in pain, lost the support of his legs, and the lionman's huge body immediately fell to the ground, he knelt on the ground and roared, struggling for a long time without getting up.
But before Russell could launch his next attack, he noticed that the injuries on the lion's feet that he had cut off were actually healing quickly!
Sure enough, this purple stone still has residual power, right! Russell was a little shocked to see that most of the wounds on the lionman's body had recovered in a few seconds.
Then there is only one way to solve the mad lionman, and that is to dig out the purple stone inside the lionman's heart!
Russell didn't give the lionman a chance to get up from the ground again, he immediately swung his long sword, leaving deep wounds on the lionman's Achilles tendon and the crook of his leg, even if his body recovered quickly, it would take a few minutes for the lionman to fully get up!
That's plenty of time for Russell to dig this weird purple stone out of the lionman's heart!
Russell immediately walked around to the front of the lionman, and at this time the lionman's face had completely mutated, the outline of the lionman's face became more convex, the fangs even reached the chin level, and the eyes were all the madness of the beast before it was dying, completely devoid of the humanity that had existed before.
When the lionman saw that Russell was already approaching him, he immediately waved his arms and tried to force Russell back in front of him.
In the lionman's heyday, Russell was able to dodge his attacks, and now the lionman's immobile stubbornness is simply in vain in Russell's eyes!
Russell dodged the lionman's resistance with a single jump, and he was now in front of the lionman's eyes, the distance between the two of them had never been so close, but it was also the last time the two of them met.
"This battle is over!"
Russell stabbed the lionman into the heart with a sword with an indifferent expression, and the extremely sharp Heroic Relic broke through the lionman's hard chest with a single sword, perhaps because the purple stone was very afraid of the Relic of the Hero, Russell only needed a light stroke, and the purple stone that made the lionman lose his mind fell out of his heart.
At this time, the lion-man who had lost the purple stone seemed to have lost all his strength, staring at Russell but not making any sound, and at the same time, his body was also shrinking rapidly, and in less than a minute, he became the original appearance, but his body was wilting a lot, and his vitality was also fading rapidly.
"Ahem!" the lionman finally coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, his vitality was about to die, but his sanity was returning.
"That's why I don't want to use this purple stone too much! every time I use the power of this stone, I have to devour many people to restore my body!"
The lionman looked up at Russell, who was crouching on the ground with a sword pointed at him, and told the secret of his heart.
"I didn't expect that a human like you has such rich combat experience, and your sword still has such great power, ahem, I can finally be free!" The lion's eyes were already starting to drift a little, and Russell could see that he was dying.
"You've won!"
The lionman slapped the purple stone in front of him, as if at the end of his life, and he understood that the stone was worthless to him.
This action probably took the last of the lionman's strength, and he took a few deep breaths before falling to the ground.
Russell looked at the purple stone that was still emitting a faint purple mist on the ground, and some did not dare to touch this stone, you must know that just now, there was a lion man who lost his life because of it, he didn't want to risk his life, if he was mutated by the stone, it would not be a good thing!
However, Russell saw that the stone was still on the ground and couldn't ignore it, so he hesitated for a moment, but still used the heroic legacy in his hand to remove the purple stone on the ground.
Just as Russell touched the purple stone with the Hero's Relic, a strange thing suddenly happened, the purple stone suddenly shook violently, and a cloud of purple mist ran out of it and floated upwards along the sword body of the Hero's Relic.
The purple mist drifted all the way to the sapphire on the sword grid, and then the sapphire bloomed with a dazzling blue light, absorbing the mist into the sapphire in an instant.
At this time, the purple stones, which had lost all of their mist, suddenly shattered into several small stones like withered plants nearby, and they should have turned into stones that could be found everywhere.
Russell no longer looked at the broken stone, and raised the sword in his hand to look at the mirror of the sapphire.
Russell looked at it and noticed that the sapphire had become much more translucent, and the first inscription on its interior had been dyed purple, and the text had also become much clearer.
What surprised Russell even more was that the rust that could not be removed by any means on the Hero's Relic Sword suddenly peeled off a lot.
Russell estimated that a third of the rust had fallen, and the sword body without rust refracted a dazzling light in the sunlight, which made Russell sigh and think of the Sword of Dawn that had followed him for a long time.
Russell inserted the relics of Yingjie back into his scabbard, and the changes in the sword can be studied after going back, Sister Marlene, who had supported him for a long time, suddenly did not move, and Russell had to run to her to observe her condition.
