Chapter 593: One Shot
For the arrival of Lilith and Palo Al, the night elf side was naturally happy, the Great Elder Sumario nodded to the two elders in good spirits, and motioned for them to take the white jade ball to their side, and the three of them were ready to launch the jade ball to seal the Ice Demon Dragon again, and Digatok, who was even more morale-boosted, released a barrage of fighting energy and magic that was more dense and powerful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to the cover of the dense forest and the fierce suppression of Digatok's firepower, the actions of the Hand of Death were unclear for a while, but in mid-air, Wood was indeed in a hurry.
The wind elemental magic energy that was bound in the wind elemental realm with the power of the law began to leak out on a large scale with Wood's attack movements, but this was not because of Wood's own loss of control, but because Wood was in a hurry, and fully exerted his full strength.
Punches, kicks, swings of the sword, or even just a turn could set off a fierce air flow that could easily tear through a Douqi shield or a magic enchantment that could easily tear through at least a sixth-order level. Wood's meticulous retraction and release of the wind elements in the wind elemental realm around him through the power of the law, combined with the martial arts, which uses the action factor to maximize the power of simple energy attacks, almost every sword and kick he throws out seems to have the power of arcane.
Facing Wood, who was at full strength, Nanoha, who was not yet a true law powerhouse, and Chelus, whose strength was suppressed by the Origin Law Seal at the seventh order and could not use the most familiar Demon Wolf mode to fight, felt struggling. Wood's attack power is strong, and his speed is not weaker than that of Cheruth in the form of a demon wolf, so Cheruth and Nanoha are really not sloppy at all as defenders.
If it was a free battle, the two of them would not be so embarrassed by Wood when they joined forces, but right now, Sumario next to the ice lake below, they had already begun to reseal the Ice Demon Dragon, and the three elders were so engrossed in casting spells that they had no time to care about the attack from above, so they had to block Wood's intention to advance downward at all costs, and this alone made the two lose the initiative.
There is no other way to get into position than to block many attacks by hitting them head-on, and the fighting style of both men is not the type that is good at frontal defense, which makes both Chelus and Nanoha a little helpless. They no longer have the energy to engage in barrage with Wood as they did at the beginning, and Nanoha is trying her best to build countless layers of magical enchantments in mid-air, while Cheruth is trying her best to use the unfamiliar fire mutation and fire magic to engage Wood in close quarters. If they are not careful, the two of them could be found by Wood and break through the defense.
The two of them worked hard to defend, but on the other hand, Wood was also depressed now, he didn't expect that although the wolf girl and Nanoha couldn't beat themselves alone, they couldn't defend themselves, but there would be such an amazing tacit understanding between the two of them, and there was a faint feeling that they were just restraining their weaknesses.
That's right, Wood, who seems to be much stronger than his predecessor Silaire in terms of actual combat power and comprehension and application of the laws of the elemental realm, actually has a very obvious weakness compared to Rogers, and even compared to the former Silaire he despises-magic.
Before becoming an artificial magician, Wood was a genius fighter who did not have any magical talent, although theoretically there is no mutually exclusive conflict between practicing Douqi and learning magic, but in fact, there are very few people who can cultivate both and cultivate well, and the reason for this is nothing more than the ability to switch between thinking modes.
It's like two students with similar intelligence levels, even if the scores of mathematics and science and liberal arts in high school were almost the same, and there was no obvious deviation, and when they graduated from college in four years, and then let them pick up the high school textbooks again, they will find that the students who study literature suddenly become difficult households in mathematics and science, and the students who study science are completely incapable of literature and science. People are often like this, once a set of inherent thinking patterns are formed, if you come into contact with things that are difficult to analyze by this set of thinking patterns, it will be several times more difficult than when the original thinking patterns were not formed.
For Rogers and the others, before they were transformed into artificial magicians, they were all ordinary people who had neither magical talent nor cultivation of vindictive energy, and because of this, they who had magical abilities after transformation were able to relatively quickly accept and master the means of using magic using the biological magic channel.
But for Wood, who has become accustomed to operating Dou Qi in his body and using it to form a special skill with martial arts, even if he was told to learn magic knowledge and also learned to use the biological magic circuit to release magic with the elemental core, but in the most critical battle of life and death, Wood's instinctive reaction is to rely on martial arts and fighting energy to solve the problem.
It is precisely because of this that Wood will develop this strange method of using the power of the law to use magic as a fighting spirit despite the difficulties, which is powerful and weird and difficult to prevent, although it is an advantage, but it also does reflect Wood's mentality of not wanting to rely on or trusting magic in real battles.
After all, martial arts are developed based on fighting spirit, and compared with magic, the advantage of martial arts is adaptability and persistence, but in terms of explosive power, martial arts are difficult to compare with magic. Although the explosive power of the martial arts used by Wood using magic instead of Dou Qi is indeed stronger than that of Dou Qi martial arts, it cannot be compared to real magic. Because of this, Wood, who was in the current stalemate, was very depressed to find that his attack was a little lacking, so that Chelus and Nanoha finally blocked all his attacks every time, although they looked reluctant.
Obviously, every time it is almost enough to do it again, but this time, it has become a chasm that Wood can't break through the blockade between the two. And once Wood wants to gather a little bit of breath or distance himself and try to use the wind arcane that he is not yet very proficient in, the two experienced ranged attack masters of Chelus and Nanoha will naturally not make it easy for him to do so.
The stalemate passed for another minute or two, and suddenly, from the side of the frozen lake below, the white jade ball in the middle of the three elders, known as the secret treasure of the Night Elf Ancestor, began to release an extremely dazzling white light, and the order fluctuation was even stronger than the Ancestral Vine Staff from Sumario's hand before, and began to emanate from the white jade ball continuously.
In an instant, the chaotic aura deposited around the ice lake due to the awakening of the Seal Shattered Ice Demon Dragon immediately began to dissipate in the light of order, and in the center of the lake, from the black shadow of the gray vortex, a howl sounding inexplicably terrifying sounded out.
Roar - !!
The first half seemed to be the roar of some kind of fierce beast, but in the middle it was slowly mixed with a large number of harsh sounds like metal rubbing, so that it was impossible to judge its body after a roar, the black shadow in the gray vortex finally could not continue to sit still like this, the shape of the black shadow continued to change, and began to gather in the gray vortex in front of the Great Elder and slowly became larger, and then, suddenly, a huge hand and claw poked out from the gray vortex and stretched straight towards the three Night Elf Elders.
The moment they saw that claw, whether it was Cherusina Nohadi Gatok and them, or Wood and the Hand of Death who were trying to break through the defense line and approach the interference, there was a momentary pause in their movements.
What kind of claw is that...... Thick, ugly, with unidentified black areas on the back of the hand and fingers as if rotten, while the rest of the hand was covered with misshapen blue-black scales, and the front of the claw, the blood-red spiky nails looked like five fierce swords.
More like an ugly claw than a dragon, it was more like a legendary demon, accompanied by a piercing howl of anger or pain that came from the gray vortex, and stretched straight towards the position of the three elders, as if to crush them along with the white jade ball in the middle of them.
But in the next second, from the middle of the three elders, the light of order emitted by the white jade ball that had been transported by the magic power of the three elders changed amazingly. As if he had life and knew that the ugly chaos that was his natural enemy was about to attack, a pure white aura of order spread out faster from the jade ball to the surroundings, and at the same time, the light of order that was originally scattered in all directions began to slowly converge to the front, as if it was a peerless sword full of the power of order, mercilessly stabbing towards the demon dragon claws in front of him.
On the claws of the demon dragon, the part pierced by the light of order suddenly appeared as if it had been corroded by strong acid, and the scales began to dissolve, revealing that the flesh and blood inside was not the flesh in common sense but some more disgusting chaotic mortar substance, the gray pulp did not disintegrate instantly due to the irradiation of the light of order like the scales on the outside, but it was obviously very afraid of the incomparably pure and powerful power of order in the white light, just a few seconds, the black shadow in the gray vortex let out a high howl, and then I saw that the mortar body that was rotten from the claws quickly poured out and flew back into the whirlpool, and the remaining claws, it is like an empty shell, which turns into fine ash and scatters clean in an instant under the white light.
The light of order emitted by the white jade ball did not stop there, as the magic power of the three elders was injected more and more, the light of order released from the sphere became brighter and brighter, and after destroying the demonic dragon claws that stretched out from the gray vortex, those order rays shot forward, turning into white arcs of light around the gray vortex.
The dark shadows in the gray vortex began to twist and change violently, and the feeling of being surrounded by the power of order was no less than torture for the creatures of Chaos. And what makes it even more desperate is that the power of order around it is still increasing, and it does not give it any respite.
Seeing this scene, Wood in mid-air became more and more anxious, seeing that the task was about to be abandoned, he couldn't care about his self-esteem, and looked down to open his mouth and wanted to let the hand of death hurry up, but coincidentally, at the moment when he bowed his head, he happened to see the hand of death rushing out of the forest, and as a result, he was forced back again by the night elf powerhouse after a few rounds of short-handed combat with Digatok.
Tsk, this guy doesn't look reliable...... Hell, this operation is closed to the night elves because of the plan and its concealment, so the master is also very relieved to send only two people to come, he and the hand of the god of death, if it is only the night elf clan, it can be seen from the progress of the previous plan that the strength of the two of them plus the hand of death's necromantic puppet technique is absolutely enough, but the wolf girl in front of her is really worthy of her wolf nose, and she inexplicably found it by herself, and as a result, it suddenly made a mess of their original step-by-step and flawless planγ
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Wood's eyes, and the speed of attacking the double defense of Chelus and Nanoha increased more and more.
Maybe Wood's luck really arrived, or maybe it was because Chelus and Nanoha were finally tired after maintaining an unaccustomed defensive position for nearly twenty minutes, this time, although Chelus still used the fire fighting shield to block Wood's attack, but because of a mistake in the control of the flame wings behind her, she was unable to maintain her body in mid-air, and was hit by the powerful explosive power of Wood's attack, and suddenly gave way to half of her body.
Without hesitation, Wood used the magic armor condensed in the wind elemental realm to support Nanoha's two shells, and suddenly shook off Cheruth's melee entanglement and rushed straight towards the ice lake below.
Chelus and Nanoha were shocked, both of them knew very well that the ice lake had reached the most critical moment now, and as long as there was a little more time to seal it again, it would be possible to complete it, and once Wood interfered with it, then the whole loss would be completely reversed to their side.
Just when the Nolan mark on the wolf girl's forehead had lit up, and she was ready to break the restriction of the Origin Law Seal, and then use the white jade stone sent by Nien to temporarily purify the chaos in her body due to the conflict of laws to gain stronger power, suddenly from the woods below, a crimson meteor flew out and crashed straight into the body of Wood, who had been slacking off for a while because he had gotten rid of the two of Celus, and was preparing to attack the three elders.
Boom!
Wood snorted and flew out upside down, and the crimson "meteor" seemed to have been hit by the magical energy riot counterattack created by Wood at the last moment using the wind elemental field around him, and was swept away by the violent magical energy wind and flew out in the opposite direction.
