Volume 3 The Shadow of Uxir Chapter 212 Overcoming Rigidity with Softness

"Hmph, what a stupid big man, he actually waded directly into the water." Lucius couldn't help but complain.

At this time, his heart was quite complicated, as the strongest paladin in the empire, he was beaten so embarrassed by such a stupid iron giant.

"Don't take it lightly," the emir hurriedly reminded, "and after I control its movements, you can launch a general attack on it." ”

"Well, I understand." Lucius nodded solemnly, and he pressed his hand on the sword, ready to unleash his sword skills at any moment.

After a while, Hercules walked to the middle of the lake without hesitation, and the water level had reached its chest.

But in the face of its submerged body, it did not feel strange, rather, it was not a living body in the first place, and naturally did not have the instinct of living beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Immediately afterward, the emir unleashed a huge magic circle on the surface of the lake, and this time he was about to release an improved version of the water dungeon.

However, as the light dissipated, nothing happened inside the magic array, and the lake remained calm except for the ripples stirred up by Hercules.

"Hey, Emir, your magic doesn't seem to work." Lucius watched the giant continue to approach and panicked.

"Hmph, take a good look."

Lucius looked closely, and saw that Hercules's movements had slowed down, and he noticed that the ripples on the surface of the lake had become extremely slow to spread outward.

"It's ...... Magic that slows down time? Lucius asked curiously.

"No, it's the resistance that's getting bigger." Emir shook his head, and then patiently explained, "My water dungeon was originally designed to turn water into a solid wall to trap enemies, but this giant is too big, and if you forcibly close it, the water wall will be under very much pressure, and it is likely to break directly, so I turned it into a soft net, which not only ensures the stability of this magic, but also maximizes the control of the giant's ability to move." ”

"Hehe, there is still this kind of operation." Lucius couldn't help but admire.

"I'll leave it to you, but don't take it lightly, it will unleash terrifying thunderclouds and that invisible force at any time."

"Hmph, who do you think I am, since the enemy is under control, how can I be hit."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a burst of wind whistled, and he clearly felt a strong force coming towards him.

"Emir, you're really a crow's mouth." Lucius smiled wryly and dodged the attack.

Then, no longer hesitating, he stepped directly on the stone railing by the lake, and used it as a pedal to rush towards Hercules's head.

The opponent's movement was really very restricted, and he couldn't even wave his arms, so the attack just now was released at random.

Now Lucius was even more emboldened, he aimed at the target, and instantly pulled out the scarlet blade.

A huge dark red sword qi soared into the sky, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and finally fell like a meteor, approaching Hercules's head.

The other party seemed to have only Emir and Lucius in their eyes, so they didn't have any idea of dodging at all, and actually took the blow head-on.

However, the next moment, the two of them were dumbfounded at the same time, only to see that the giant's helmet was intact, and even shining in the sunlight.

"Ah......h

"Hehe, it seems that our tactics are completely ineffective."

When Emir unleashed an attack spell on Hercules' leg before, he guessed that the opponent was likely to be immune to damage, after all, no matter how hard the material was, after being attacked, more or less scratches would appear.

He had been lucky enough to think that only his legs were like that, but now it seemed that all their attacks were useless.

"What to do? Is it really impossible to defeat it? Lucius looked desperate.

The emir was also in a dilemma, but Hercules didn't care about their feelings, and moved slowly towards the two of them.

Finally, it reached the right distance and waved its arms.

I guess it's thinking that even if the accuracy of the attack drops, as long as it keeps attacking, there will always be a time to hit the enemy.

The Emir hurriedly used teleportation magic to dodge the raindrops, and Lucius took the opportunity to run across the lake, and he began to look for the giant's flaws.

Since Hercules' speed had dropped considerably, the Emir was able to dodge with ease, and he took the opportunity to rethink his countermeasures.

After a while, the two of them thought of a solution almost simultaneously, and they looked at the cockpit above the giant's head.

Emir suddenly remembered that when he had entered the cockpit earlier, there was obviously a place for people to control, and Hercules was indeed tricky, but as long as he killed the driver, he would be fine.

As soon as they thought of this, the two of them immediately went into action, and the Emir had never expected such a day, so he did not make a teleportation mark in the cockpit at that time.

However, it was not too late, he dodged all of Hercules' attacks with his agility, then scattered small pieces of paper into the air, and then used teleportation magic to quickly shuttle through the sky of paper, and soon reached the cockpit, and Lucius also circled the back of the giant's head.

Hercules seemed to sense that something was wrong, but it could not attack its own head, and could only keep shaking, but unfortunately under the effect of the Emir's improved version of the water dungeon, it only shook like a fishing boat blown by the sea breeze.

However, when they looked into the cockpit, they were disappointed, because there were no stone chairs in it.

"What's going on? Even if it explodes, you'll have to leave the wreckage behind. ”

"yes, and there's not even a driver, what the hell is this thing powered by?"

All kinds of questions lingered in their minds, and the emir was suddenly out of the way, but they were safe to stay here, and they had succeeded in luring Hercules away from the shelter, so there was plenty of time to think.

"Hey, Emir, do you think there will be a secret passage in this cockpit?" Lucius observed the small space and couldn't help but guess.

The Emir stood up thoughtfully, only to slap his head with Lucius.

"Ouch......," the emir screamed, "no, there is no secret passage in such a narrow place." ”

"But you told me before that there was originally a stone chair and a stone platform in it, but now there are no traces at all, don't you think it's strange?"

The emir agreed with him, but the material that made up Hercules was so strong that even if there were secret passages, they could not have opened them by brute force.

"You'll have to try it anyway, it's a last resort," Lucius suggested, reminding the Emir, "Get out of the cockpit first, I'm going to unleash my sword skills on this small piece of ground." ”

"Okay."

The emir answered, and released the teleportation magic and left, not forgetting to draw a magic circle in the cockpit before leaving.

Once he had moved to safety, Lucius unleashed his sword skills again, only to see a burst of red light flash from the cockpit, followed by a loud noise.

After everything calmed down, the emir teleported back, but saw Lucius panting, it seemed that the sword technique just now had consumed a lot of physical strength, and the emir hurriedly released the restoration magic on him.

With this operation, the floor of the cockpit was indeed heard with the sound of gears turning, and after a while, a dark hole appeared under their feet, leading vertically down to the inside of Hercules's body.

Emir looked at Lucius with excitement on his face.

"You guessed it right."

"That's nature, this giant must have a source of energy to move, so the driver must be hiding somewhere."

"Then let's go down now." The emir was a little impatient.

"Calm down, Emir, it's not like you." Lucius reminded him in due course.

Only then did the emir react, after all, they had finally opened a breakthrough, so he was overly excited for a while.

"Hmm, guess who the driver is?" The emir asked suddenly.

“…… Cornes? Lucius thought for a moment and replied with some caution.

"No, Cornes is dead." Suddenly, a girl's voice came from behind her.

The two were taken aback for a moment, and when they looked back, they realized that it was their own people.

"Annie? Don't show up out of the blue, it's almost scared to death. The emir patted his heart.

"What are you talking about, shouldn't you be happy that a beautiful girl like me suddenly appears? You're good enough to think I'm a ghost, aren't you? Anne exclaimed angrily.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lucius hurriedly stood up and played a round.

"Okay, okay, with one more helper, our chances are better now."

"By the way, Annie, what did you say that Cornes is dead?"

"Hmph, I killed you, right?" Anne looked triumphant.

"Come on, Cornes's kind of goods, ten is not enough for me to fight." The emir couldn't help but sneer.

In fact, the death of Cornes is great news for him, and Anne can be regarded as helping him complete the most important task, because in this way, the demon race will be completely destroyed, but he just wants to quarrel with Anne.

Anne did not understand his intentions at all, and only felt that the emir was looking down on people.

"Then here's the question," Lucius abruptly interrupted the-for-tat confrontation between the two, "since Cornes is dead, who is the driver here?" Could it be Byron? ”

“…… That guy could indeed do something like that. The emir agreed.

"Foolish Amiri, Byron is confronting Ophelia." A familiar female voice came from behind the crowd.

At this moment, the three of them were frightened, and hurriedly looked at them with resentment.

"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the princess of the elven clan, I thought it was the evil ghosts of hell who came to trouble me." Lucius couldn't help but scoff.

"Oh? Could it be that you have done something wrong? I'm afraid of that kind of thing. Cosette didn't give up.

Seeing that they also began to quarrel, Emile and Anne couldn't help but look at each other.

But soon, they were back to business.

"So, who the hell is the driver? Do you have any clues? Lucius asked solemnly.

Anne shook her head, and Cosette and Amiri remembered one person at the same time, and that was Cornes' daughter, Elena.

"Who's that?" Anne asked.

After that, Emir told him about his fight with Elena, and now that Cornes is dead, the only one who can drive Hercules is Elena.

"Hmph, if I knew this, I should have done my best to kill her that day."

"Alas, it was my negligence, there was a clear opportunity to kill her." The emir sighed.

“…… There's no point in saying that, let's think about how to get her out. ”

"Well, too."

The emir nodded, and began to look into the dark hole and think, while the others waited patiently.

What they didn't know, however, was that Hercules had already broken free from the water prison around his body, and he covered his face with both hands, and thunderclouds and the invisible force erupted from his palms at the same time.

"Damn."

The Emir was the first to sense the abnormality, and in the next moment, Hercules's head exploded violently.

Thankfully, Emir and Anne cast their teleportation spells at the same time, and the four of them made it to the surface, where they looked at Hercules again and found that its head was gone.

"Ah......h

"Hehe, that's a good idea," the emir smiled helplessly, "I guess the hole was destroyed too, and I was almost ready to think of a countermeasure." ”

Cosette looked at Hercules, who had regained her mobility, and suddenly smiled meaningfully, and then she unleashed a large magic.

It was enough space magic for her entire race to live in, similar to Annie's alternate dimension, but the capacity was definitely not the same level.
