Chapter 12: Fierce Battle in the Passage
Flame spitting
Dragon Wing Strike!
Sweep the tail!
With the advantage of his huge size and the incredible destructive power of the dragon's breath, Vermes managed to keep one of the flesh golems at a safe distance from him and unable to attack at close range.
And that's not all!
She also used the weight of her body to crush another flesh golem underneath and couldn't move.
Then, with a wave of claws, he tore off the pieces of corpses that had been blessed with protective magic.
After a large amount of damage in a short period of time exceeded its ability to heal itself, one of the flesh golems finally became completely incapacitated, turning into a pool of shattered corpses that emitted a foul stench and the smell of death.
"Well done!"
Zuo Si praised Vermes without hesitation, and then recovered a lot of black mana and general mana from the fallen golem.
Just as the red dragon pounced on the other flesh golem, preparing to kill the opponent in the same way, the originally empty passage in front of him suddenly began to flicker with colorful and intense magical aura.
Immediately after, one after another summoning circles appeared out of thin air.
In the blink of an eye, the passage was filled with creatures summoned by spell magic, and there were dozens of them.
More than half of them are necromancers, Asta's favorite undead, but there are also evil creatures such as ogres, trolls, half-giants, bear goblins, orcs, and fierce beasts such as wolves, lions, tigers, bears, and leopards.
Clearly, their real purpose is not to defeat the invaders.
Instead, use the numerical advantage to consume as much of the intruder's stamina, spells, potions, scrolls, and magic items as possible.
Unfortunately, Vermez had just completed a Flame Breath, and he couldn't perform a second round of Breath in a short period of time, and he couldn't deal AoE damage to so many targets at the same time.
So she directly used the flesh golem pressed under her as a weapon, grabbed one of the opponent's legs and smashed it forward.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the undead creatures who were not afraid of "Long Wei" at all and rushed to the front were stoned to death on the spot.
The skeletal warriors, dressed in metal armor and armed with weapons, were shattered by the blow.
The tyrannical and ferocious Red Dragon took advantage of the situation to leap up, using his huge body as a weapon, using the thick and hard scales on his back as protection, and rolled down with a bang.
A large number of summoned creatures take crushing damage on the spot that exceeds their maximum health.
Colorful anti-summoning circles appeared under their feet, and they were sent back to their original world.
Just as Vermes was about to take advantage of the victory and take down the rest of them, the staircase at the corner of the passage suddenly made a strange noise.
Then two other flesh golems burst out from above, carrying eight metal structures of about the same size.
The latter wielded heavy weapons such as axes, scythes, two-handed swords, and war hammers, all of which shimmered with magic without exception.
There is no doubt that these enchanted weapons meet the minimum standards for tearing dragon scale defenses.
"I need help!"
The red dragon head does not return to the loud call for support.
At this moment, she finally understood why Zuo Si repeatedly emphasized how dangerous the path to the upper echelons was.
The metal constructs wielding magical weapons alone were enough to contain an adult dragon in a narrow area.
"Stand back!"
Zuo Si was obviously well aware that the battle that took place in the passage had triggered the defense system in the upper area, so he took out the cards that had been prepared a long time ago.
【Magic Card: Mire】
[LV1 Black Card (Non-Upgradable)]
[Card Quality: Normal]
[Effect: Creates a swampy area with inaccessibility and silt at the designated location.] Any object or creature weighing more than ten kilograms will be trapped in it without distinction between friend and foe. Duration one minute. 】
[To use this card, you need to pay 1 universal mana, or 1 death mana, or double the other types of mana]
[When the mire is generated, the card automatically enters the graveyard to wait for rebirth for one day]
Seeing that Vermes had successfully escaped the entanglement of the summoned creatures and retreated to the room behind the passage, Zuo Si immediately activated the card.
Moment!
A large black swamp appeared out of thin air in the middle of the passage.
Including the heavy flesh golem, metal structure, and some summoned creatures, they didn't even have time to react, they fell directly into it, and sank deeper and deeper.
Due to the relatively narrow terrain of the passage, the entire section of the ground is completely covered by mud, and there are walls directly on both sides, and there is no place to climb out with strength.
But that's not all!
Zuo Si obviously won't let go of such a perfect output opportunity.
Quickly take out a magic scroll and activate the spells stored inside with a simple motion.
Next Second......
A bright wall of fire appeared out of thin air above the mire, scorching uninterruptedly at the immobilized enemies trapped in the mire.
Immediately after, another series of fireballs flew out of a ring of gemstones that shimmered red, landing on the heads of the summoned creatures and flesh golems and exploding.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The flames from the explosion caused the ambient temperature to rise rapidly, turning the entire passage into purgatory.
The former is a plastic magic called [Wall of Fire], while the latter is a deluxe upgrade of the Fireball Technique, [Beaded Fireball].
Under such a heavy bombardment, the largest number of minions were the first to hold out and quit.
Similarly, the flesh golems of the weak fire were also very badly damaged.
Only the metal structures, instead of melting in the slightest, continued to struggle to crawl out of the mire like no one.
"Fire damage immunity?!" Vermes's face changed slightly.
As a red dragon with fire energy attributes, what she hates most is these enemies who are immune to fire damage.
Because it means that one of the most powerful weapons, the Flame Breath, will be completely useless.
"It must be some kind of specially designed steel golem! Leave them alone! Hurry up and unleash your flaming breath to take out the Flesh Golem! ”
At the critical moment, Zuo Si kept a clear and cool head.
The Flesh Golem's weakness is fire, and it converts lightning damage it takes into energy to repair itself;
The Iron Golem's weakness is lightning, and it converts fire damage it takes into energy to repair itself.
If you attack a Flesh Golem with a fire spell, the nearby Steel Golem will be repaired.
Otherwise, if you attack the Steel Golem with a lightning spell, the nearby Flesh Golem will be repaired.
Necromancer Archmage - Asta is clearly taking advantage of this combination to ensure that no matter what form of energy attack is encountered, at least one of the golems can pose a threat to the intruder.
If you don't understand these mechanics, or if you can't keep your mind clear in combat, you'll be consumed alive by two complementary golems.
Zuo Si's tactical thinking is very clear, that is, to concentrate the firepower to kill the flesh golem that has been badly damaged, and then deal with the steel golem that has fallen into the mire.
Although the red dragon was a little confused by the order, after a brief recovery, he opened his mouth and let out a hot breath of fire.
Ravaged by the wall of fire, the beaded fireballs, and the dragon's breath, all the flesh golems present finally could not support it, and turned into a black, charred corpse.
Taking advantage of the fact that the mire on the ground had not disappeared, Zuo Si quickly rushed to the front, stepped on the edge of the floor and the mire, lifted the device fixed on his belt to store a large amount of electrical energy, and released all the energy in it.
Syllable!
I saw a thick lightning bolt like a silver snake, shooting directly from the cylindrical crystalline body, and accurately hitting the nearest steel golem in front of me.
This was followed by the second, third, and fourth......
In a very short period of time, the powerful electric light bounced back and forth between the steel golems several times.
Since they are very close to each other at the moment, and metal is naturally a good conductor, they are almost full of lightning damage, and there is no waste at all.
Then Zuo Si was even more stingy, activating several high-level magic scrolls in a row.
All of a sudden, all sorts of sour lightning raged above the heads of the Iron Golems.
