Chapter XVII. Choice
"Ah~~~"
As soon as the scream sounded, it was stopped, like a chicken trampled by the neck, followed by several thick wooden sticks sticking out of the broken window, pressing against the tentacles and body of the monster, pushing them outward. Although the tentacles that successfully penetrated the window brought up a blood flower every time they waved, there were many people inside, and relying on the strength of the number of people, they simply pushed out several tricks by the bloodshed.
"Hey", Suni folded her hands and pushed forward suddenly, the red mist was filled, a black mist was generated in the palm of her hand, and then it split into eight, and the eight spheres flew out in several different directions. No matter how the sphere rotated and twisted in the air, the landing target remained the same, and several monsters that were pushed out of the window were like magnets, and they were chased by the black ball in the air and hit accurately, and they were blown up and shattered by a blow before they could even disperse into shadows.
"Whew, whew." Suni clutched her chest and gasped violently, unable to organize other tricks to approach the window for a while, and this was Victor's final move.
Open the box, take out the bottle, and throw it.
The bottle smashed into several broken windows, the bottle shattered, and at the same time that the liquid inside spilled out, strange energy appeared out of thin air from inside the liquid, quickly covering a large area. The energy was violent and cold, the low temperature froze the moisture in the air directly, and in the blink of an eye, a few ice walls firmly sealed the window, and it looked even stronger than the previous wooden plank.
"You're finished, you're dead, you dare to scare Mr. Victor, you will definitely be punished, don't think that Mr. Victor is just an alchemist, just underestimate Mr. Victor's combat effectiveness, you ......"
All sorts of bottles whizzed over Babu's head, and Babu was a little worried that if any of the bottles would be thrown on his head while babbling about it. Fortunately, the imaginary tragedy did not happen, seven or eight earthy yellow bottles were thrown into the group of monsters, and then the earth trembled, and several thick rock spikes pierced through the stone slabs covering the ground, piercing several shadow monsters, and then the stone thorns exploded, so that the illusionary monsters completely disappeared.
"Babu, help look around." Monica really didn't have time to pay attention to Victor, she told Babu in the most concise words, and then no longer thinking about whether Babu could do it, the whip was raised, and the focus was on the trick that tried to continue the invasion of the building.
As a result, the pressure on the Báb increased.
Babu kept moving around the three of them, looking ahead and suddenly behind, moving quite quickly and the dagger stabbing quite quickly. He didn't pursue how good the effect was, as long as he could scatter the trick and keep it away from the four people, so he didn't even use a single burst of source energy, but just let the source energy circulate in his body, containing but not emitting, in order to reduce consumption as much as possible and prolong combat ability.
But even if he chose the most economical method, he was still under a lot of pressure, because Babu's attention was not focused on the battlefield at this time, and he was distracted looking for something else. Once again, he sensed the malicious will, as if a man was spying on him maliciously in the shadows.
Unlike the previous two times, this time the malice was extremely obvious, and the will itself was very clear, and Babu could tell that this time it could not be an illusion, that there was really something hostile to him, and that he was about to strike.
Or has it already been shot?
The Báb didn't know, so he had to find the other out, but he couldn't find it.
As he dealt with the monster, his eyes had searched every corner of the surroundings, and he was confident that nothing could escape his eyes, but he had found nothing, nothing. He also tried to find the special point between the two spaces in his line of sight and defeat it in one fell swoop, according to his experience when dealing with the first phantom beast, maybe it could have the same effect as the last time, so that the edge oscillation would stop in time, but he had found that point twice before and after, and it quickly disappeared from his vision, and he couldn't determine the specific location at all.
The evil thoughts became more and more obvious, and even the two spaces in front of him reacted, and the two spaces became more and more entangled with each other, and even began to vibrate intermittently.
There was a faint glow of fire in the distance, and it was obvious that the support team was not far away, but ......
"Boom", the dust was flying, the ground shook, and there were exclamations and muffled humming, under the continuous whipping and impact of the monster, the wall of the main building finally couldn't hold on, and one of the walls collapsed into a large hole, completely exposing the inside. The entrance to the cave was large enough for the monsters to easily enter and exit, and through the opening, it could be seen that there were also townsfolk crushed by the walls, being pulled back at a rapid pace.
"Damn, it's almost, it's too late." Monica clenched her teeth and the whip action became more intense, but in fact, everyone understood that it was too late.
Although reinforcements are close at hand, the defense line has been breached, and once the monster successfully enters the inside of the house, it can go on a killing spree inside, and by the time the reinforcements chase it in from the outside, I am afraid that there will be only a few living people left inside. I'm afraid the only way to avoid such an outcome is to ......
Monica flashed and appeared at the entrance of the collapsed wall, surrounded by a bunch of monsters, several of which had already penetrated half of their bodies, only to be dispersed by her whip, and she blocked the hole in place of the monsters. Whip at the same time as the gag, and drive away the enemies around him several times in a row, but the space around it is too narrow for the long whip to be used at all, and it only lasts for a few seconds before it is attacked by the monster, and even resists the whipping of two tentacles.
A few seconds was enough, at least enough for Babu to come back in time.
The long whip was once again disturbed by obstacles, and the third time there were tentacles to bypass the defense, this time the tentacles stabbed straight into Monica's lower abdomen, Monica couldn't whip back, and the off-hand dagger was in Babu's hand again, but she still didn't take a step back, holding her left hand and the tentacles, preferring to use the palm of her hand to resist rather than let the trick enter.
Before the two sides could make contact, Babu suddenly appeared between the two, cut off the tentacle with a knife, and followed the hard top to take two steps forward, blocking in front of Monica. Monica's pressure was immediately reduced, the key was that there was enough space to the ground, even if the long whip could not be picked up horizontally, it was still no problem to draw and stab in a straight line, so the combat effectiveness was immediately restored to most of it, but Babu's pressure became exponentially increased, and for a while, up and down, left and right, there were tentacles formed by shadows everywhere, and it was impossible to prevent it.
"Boom".
Just as the two of them joined forces and were about to rebuild the last line of defense, another piece of the wall beside Babu collapsed, not only making the hole open again, making it impossible to continue to block it, but also when Babu dodged the falling stone slab, a shadow fell from the sky, forcing him to dodge as hard as he could. The strength was exhausted, and he finally dodged the trick that fell down, and before his body stopped, a tentacle approached silently, and launched a straight stab without warning.
The target is Babu's left chest.
It was also the place where Anna, the little thing in her arms, was sleeping soundly.
Running out of power, Babu has lost all room to maneuver and can no longer dodge attacks to keep the little guy safe, but he can do at least one thing now.
Let go of your left hand and let the little one slide to the ground, using your chest to meet the penetration of your hand.
Of course, Babu had another option, allowing the dagger to pierce Anna's body, taking the opportunity to move his chest away and avoid the fatal blow of the tentacles.
