Volume 3 The Shadow of Ukehill Chapter 214 Home Field Advantage
Emir felt dark for a moment, but soon recovered, only to see that the scene around him had changed dramatically.
The few people who were originally in the royal capital came to the territory of the elves in an instant, and this was the forest where the emir had been, and it was full of tall trees and lush foliage as far as the eye could see.
He thought that Cosette had led them out of the battlefield, but when he looked up, the huge giant was still standing not far away, destroying everything in the forest with its terrifying power.
"What is this place?" Both Lucius and Anne were puzzled.
"Hmph, it's barely my hometown." Cosette crossed her waist and said smugly.
"Uh...... I haven't seen danger in my own home. Lucius couldn't help but complain.
Hearing this, Cosette's face immediately darkened and she was about to reason with him.
In order to avoid a needless quarrel, the emir hurried back to the point.
"I've always wondered, now that you're gone, what will happen to those people of yours?"
"Well," Cosette thought for a moment and said, "Because my father can do the same magic, but I can create a larger and more stable alternate dimension, so the current elven territory is my father's alien dimension." ”
"I see."
The emir nodded, then looked at Hercules, who seemed completely unrestrained.
Cosette understood his doubts and explained.
"Did you feel anything strange about your body?"
"Strange?" The emir scratched his head.
He felt it carefully, and really found the problem, he felt that his mind was very clear, and the magic power in his body was constantly gushing out, because this process was imperceptible, so he couldn't feel it for a while.
"Although my alien space is not as powerful as Annie's, I can control the space at will, but I can strengthen my friends and speed up the recovery of magic and physical strength, and this place is far away from the people of the royal capital, and there are only a few of us in the entire space, so I don't have to worry too much about fighting."
"That's great."
The emir complimented him, and then immediately began to think about strategy, this time his mind became much more flexible.
They were now at a stalemate, after all, no one expected that Hercules would be able to blow his head off, thus sealing the entrance to the driver.
At first, they did have a chance to break in, but it was pitch black inside the hole, and there might be a trap, and it was this concern that cost them the chance to defeat Hercules.
However, the Emir believed that this was only temporary, and now that Cosette had dragged the enemy into his own outer dimension, it was only a matter of time before he defeated the opponent, after all, it was impossible for Hercules to leave here again.
After about ten minutes, Hercules seemed to have spotted them, and immediately approached this way with heavy steps, and the Emir finally came up with a plan.
First, he thought of Hercules destroying his own head, and until then, neither magic nor Lucius's sword skills could hurt the opponent in the slightest, but its own attacks worked.
So the Emir's idea was to find a way to attack himself with Hercules' own power, but it was easier said than done.
Just now, Hercules found that the energy source that drove it was threatened, so he had to destroy his body, so is there a chance next?
The emir couldn't be sure, but they had to try anyway.
"Aren't there four of us? Just enough to attack it from all sides. ”
"However, our attacks are ineffective, and if we continue to rely on the past, won't we be a target?" Lucius couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph, how could a fool like you come up with it, just listen to Emir first?" Cosette said angrily.
"It's okay, Lucius's question is correct, so we're not trying to attack it, but to get its attention."
"Oh?" Anne smiled knowingly, "So you have a specific way to deal with that guy." ”
"Well, I just don't know if it's going to work." The emir was a little less confident.
As a result, Anne stepped forward, patted his face with both hands, and said with a smile.
"Emir, you are no longer the powerless young man you used to be, you are now our backbone, I don't allow you to show such an unconfident expression, understand?"
“…… Oh. The emir nodded.
Then the crowd immediately went into action, as the emir said, they were only trying to attract the attention of the enemy.
On the other side, Hercules raised his arm and released thunderclouds at them, but in this space, not only Cosette and Emile, who were elves, but also the other two received physical buffs, and they naturally easily dodged the bombardment.
Hercules still did not give up, and directly used his arms to deal a devastating blow to the entire forest.
As agreed, the crowd gradually dispersed, and finally came to their respective positions in the face of those violent explosions.
Sure enough, Hercules spun around in place, his arm swinging obviously hesitant, and probably didn't know who to hit first.
Of course, this giant weapon with a low IQ can only use the stupidest method, which is to destroy them one by one, and it aims at the emir first.
This made the emir dumbfounded, and he had thought of attracting the attention of the others, while he tried to implement the plan himself, but the chance was still that he ran into it.
In desperation, he had no choice but to fight, dodging with his agile body, and if he couldn't dodge, he used a large number of magic barriers to block the damage.
Somehow, his magic level was completely different from when he first learned magic, so even if he summoned so many magic barriers, he didn't feel how much mana was consumed.
However, when he thought of the role of Cosette's space, he was not surprised.
After a long time, Hercules stopped insisting, and he turned to attack Annie, but who is Annie, how can there be a reason to be hit by such a stupid big man.
Eventually, Hercules, whose attacks were all missed, became agitated and began to unleash thunderclouds and the invisible force indiscriminately, hoping that the unforeseen attack would destroy any of them.
But the Emir was waiting for this opportunity, and he quickly gestured for the group to stand farther away, and then let the teleportation magic unfold in front of him.
In the next moment, a thundercloud struck Emir, but it shot directly into the magic array.
Since thunderclouds explode when they hit objects, Emir had no choice but to teleport the attacks in the magic circle as soon as possible, and then catch them with a new magic circle, and then repeat the operation.
Finally, by adjusting the angle of the magic array, the thundercloud's flight trajectory is turned into an arc, and the target is Hercules' body.
However, it is not easy to do this, once the angle is not adjusted well, it may be missed, and this is the time when you need to keep trying.
If Emir is alone, it is estimated that before the thundercloud flies back, the next attack will blow him to slag, so he needs to cooperate with multiple people, and he has to wait for the other party to attack others, so as to help him buy time.
Sure enough, the angle was still not well controlled, and the thundercloud grazed the surface of Hercules's body, but the scratches on its body told everyone that this method was possible.
So, they began to repeat the maneuver, and fortunately, the clumsy Hercules could not have figured out such a complex tactic, at least for it.
……
On the other side, in the residential area of the royal capital.
Ophelia and the others rushed to the place where the giant had been.
By this time, it had already been discovered that Hercules was missing, so they left the shelter and went to the surface, and they seemed to feel that the crisis had been resolved.
Byron couldn't figure out for a moment, how did such a big steel giant disappear? He had also read books about Hercules, but there was no mention of it being invisible or teleporting.
Only Ophelia quickly figured it out, and she guessed that it was either Anne or Cosette, but one thing was certain, as long as Hercules was pulled into another dimension, it could no longer threaten the real world.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Byron, didn't you say that only half of the energy is provided?" Cohen suddenly brought up the stubble.
Ophelia became alert and hurriedly inquired about the situation, and Byron told her about the previous deal with Cones.
"So the remaining half of the Demon King's power is still on you."
"Hehe," Byron laughed, "if I said it was a lie to Cones, when in fact I was providing all the energy, would you believe it?" ”
Ophelia frowned slightly, staring at Byron's eyes, after all, this guy had a history of betraying her, and to be honest, she really didn't believe it.
"I've always been a man of my word, and since you've changed your mind, how can I not believe it?" Ophelia still spoke the scene.
"Really? Looks like I haven't completely lost my credit. Byron then smiled wryly.
He could see it in the other party's inadvertent hesitation, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he recalled the days he had spent with Ophelia.
But now was clearly not the time to repent, and he had to clean up the mess he had made.
He had already decided that he wanted to compete with Agnes in the right way, so he immediately took action when he looked at the people in front of him who were at a loss.
However, as he approached the people not far away, a familiar but chilling voice rang out.
"Okay, Byron, did you turn against him so easily?"
Byron turned his head suddenly, and saw that it was his old acquaintance, Cones.
Ophelia was a little strange when she saw this, Cornes was so close to her, but she didn't feel anything.
"Hey, you're not dead yet?" Cohen couldn't help but tease.
Cornes didn't get angry, just smiled sinisterly, in fact, he had already used a stand-in before the fight began.
It's just that he has divided himself into two halves, in order not to be noticed, half inherits all the magic power, and the other half is the current one, and there is no magic power in his body.
"Oh, it's really lucky, as early as hundreds of years ago, I set up a place to raise a stand-in in the royal capital, but it's been so long that even I have forgotten."
"Really?" Ophelia said coldly, "Then I'll kill you until your stand-ins are exhausted." ”
Hearing this, Cohen understood that the next battle was going to start, so he immediately handed over the holy sword to her, after all, if he didn't want to help Byron, he didn't want to participate in this battle in the first place, and now that Byron has figured it out, there is no need for him to continue fighting.
"I guess this sword was yours." Cohen said leisurely.
"Who knows? Maybe it's the witch lady's. Ophelia smiled.
"How is that possible? Witches don't need swords. ”
"Hehe, that's what I said."
Ophelia nodded, ignoring him and turning her sword at Cones.
Now that Cornes could only use the magic sword, he reverted to the form of the Dark Knight, tall and burly, covered in thick armor, and armed with a giant sword.
Ophelia was not afraid, and released her sword skills directly in front of him, and she was not afraid of being interrupted by the other party.
Because regardless of whether Cohen participated in the battle or not, the isolated Cones had to be wary of others, so he naturally did not dare to rush over.
The next moment, the two swords collided together, and the huge force that burst out from the holy sword hit the body of the magic sword, and after only a few seconds, the magic sword cracked.
Cones was shocked, and hurriedly put away his sword and retreated, Ophelia took advantage of the victory to pursue, just like fighting Cohen just now, without giving the other party a chance to breathe.
However, she didn't expect it to be a trap for Cornes, because when she swept past where Cornes was standing, she found a magic circle on the ground.
She suddenly remembered that if the other party's magic level was very low, she wouldn't be able to perceive it, so it was likely that Cornes had left a little bit of magic in this body.
She hurriedly jumped to the side, ready to face the magic, but she didn't expect that this was the real trick, and the magic array was not dangerous.
And it was at this moment that Cornes raised his magic sword and slashed at it, Ophelia couldn't dodge for a while, and her shoulder was scratched by the blade, but fortunately, only the armor was broken.
"Good means."
Ophelia couldn't help but admire, but then launched an even more swift attack.
Cornes also saw the moves, his current magic level may not be as good as Emir and the others, but in terms of swordsmanship, he can be equal to Ophelia.
