Chapter 51: A certain Lori's jumping open hourglass
The knights formed a circle and surrounded the mages in it.
"This amount seems a bit unpleasant......
Leaning down to avoid the snake's tail drawn from the side, the wind it brings up almost knocks its head off. After splitting the opponent with a backhand sword, Alec roughly estimated the number of Medusa, at least twenty, which was twice as many as the knight.
"But for the sake of the princess behind me, I won't take a step back even if I die. ”
One of the knights next to him joked, sharp claws making a headache on his shield.
"Hey, you're really having a good time, these guys are real...... Oh...... You want to tear us to shreds. ”
A slightly reproachful voice came from not far away, and the knight looked a little wolf in the face of a larger number of Medusa.
"I know, I know, I'll ...... after cleaning up here Ouch!!"
Alec's reply was interrupted by a sudden attack.
"Do these monsters still have ranged classes, some fouls......"
Not far away, a new figure appeared behind the stone pillar, these Medusas armed with bows and arrows. Compared to the snake tail, the delicate humanoid upper body was not originally used to show off its claws, and the Medusas are monsters who are good at martial arts, and they are more decent and deadly than the beastly and violent tactics of war.
"It doesn't seem good to go like this, tsk...... At least ten more...... Watch out over there, there's a ...... with a sword."
The enemy is a third-level enemy, and he already has a numerical advantage, and these guys with weapons who appear now are not much inferior to knights in terms of quantity.
"Hmph. When it comes to remote support, do you have any complaints about us?"
Suddenly, the dimly lit hall shone with a dazzling arcane light. With a loud bang, several Medusas were lifted into the air.
"In other words, as Randall's pride, it would be too embarrassing to fall because of the monster's bow and arrow, or will it be too difficult for you to do it because the opponent is a lady?"
Didn't wait for these snake girls to land. The karmic fire of the red lotus began to bloom, as if it was about to knock the sinful soul into the abyss.
"My sister is Melti's, and my sister is Melti's. The snakes just go to a man honestly, and don't want to get involved with Melti's sister!"
Melti equates "Medusa captures males for reproduction" with "lilies if she catches females". So in order to maintain the chastity of little Lori, she mercilessly froze each other in place one by one.
The attack of the three mage girls suddenly tore through Medusa's encirclement network in just a moment. Alec and the others were blasted out of a vacuum in front of them. It is true that the enemy has numerical superiority. Unfortunately, mages are very good at solving problems in terms of quantity.
"No kidding, Princess, although it is a knight's virtue to love a lady, the 'lady' who can eat human flesh should spare us. ”
Alec, who was relieved again, split the frozen Medusa in two with a single sword.
"Jokes later, this is the battlefield!
Also, don't look into their eyes! it's enough to keep an eye on your hands and tail to judge the movement, and that petrified curse will be much lighter if it's not a relative effect of your eyes!"
Karen, who has more power than the rest of the knights, is even researching how to deal with the enemy's MONOCULUS.
"Don't bother, these filthy eyes are a blasphemy against Mother Earth. Therefore they will be forsaken by the earth!"
An ancient stone totem was removed from his back, and Rig thrust its sharp end into the floor. However, the fluctuations of magic power spread to all sides, and the ancient totem brought the protection of the earth, and the earth elements around the knights and others began to condense and become magic shields.
"Your commission is back, Rig Guide, thank you for your help. And I'll give you extra thanks. ”
Karen looked back and said approvingly.
"Do you use the earth element to drive away the earth elemental? It seems that these Medusas are really unlucky. ”
The principle of petrifying the MONOCULUS is to mobilize the earth element to invade the enemy's body, and now, the earth elements around Lori and the others have become the spokesperson of Nom and the partner of the shaman, so the MONOCULUS is self-defeating. This is also the reason why Leah would say that Medusa was unlucky.
The battlefield gradually began to fall one-sided, and if nothing else, it was only a matter of time before these monsters were exterminated.
"Hiss-!!"
Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!
At this moment, some of the medusas began to get restless, hissing and shaking their rattlesnake-like tails desperately.
"What's going on?"
Someone asked.
"I don't know ......"
Leah shook her head, although she would love to play the role of omniscient and omnipotent, but it happened that Medusa she really didn't know very well.
"It's Queen Medusa!! when the scale of the temple reaches a certain level, there will be a different species of Medusa who will exist as kings in the Medusa group!!"
Fortunately, Isabella has more research on this aspect, which complements the shortcomings of little Lori.
"The kind of Medusa with a tail with a sounder structure is the one who is responsible for hunting when he falls into passivity and calls the queen of the memory. ”
That's not good news, Wang...... The role of being able to play this term is never easy to deal with, even the goblin as the lowest level of monsters, the king of the kingdom made everyone have a lot of effort, and finally it was with the help of Kalian that he was able to solve it quickly.
But now it was too late, and even if Karen quickly eliminated the noisy enemies, everyone could still feel that something oppressive was approaching from a distance.
At first, it was a series of golden yellow points of light that stood tall and starry, like stars holding the moon, closely surrounding the two brightest golden lights in the middle.
This time, no one was confused, because they had seen Medusa before she appeared.
The small point of light is the snake's eye, while the large one is the magic eye.
Queen Medusa is here. She holds a shield in one hand, a sharp trident in the other, and a snake in the hair. Even the eyes of every viper are golden petrified magic eyes!
The substantial magic was so dense that it was like a poisonous gas, and even the large map was eroded and creaked, and gradually began to transform into ordinary stone.
"Uh......h With such a powerful magic power, I think it is more appropriate to call it a petrified aura than a petrified magic eye. ”
The curse was so powerful that even Leah's desperate efforts to maintain her mental strength could not resist, and she began to feel a little numb in her body.
"The purity of the earth must be maintained!"
Rig simply gave up on treating the knights, and he sat down cross-legged. He took out the strange powder from the small package and sprinkled it on the totem, and then muttered some prayer that no one else understood.
This seemed to have an effect, and I saw that the totem gradually returned to its original state. While no longer forming magic shields, it barely reduces the rate at which the curse erodes.
"Not only is this Medusa xenomorph stronger than other Medusa, but the most important thing is that her petrified magic eye is difficult to resist even if she uses fighting energy or magic power. ”
Isabella explains the source of this twisted curse.
That is to say. You have to kill them as much as you can. Right. ”
Karen rushed forward, and she jumped into the enemy line alone, and after hacking and killing several Medusas with a brush, she came to the queen's side.
"Cut...... This force ......"
Leaving the encirclement of the knights, which means leaving the range of totem protection, Karen suddenly felt a lot sluggish.
Faced with Queen Medusa's trident, she really can't do a quick victory.
"This goes on ......"
Isabella gritted her teeth and unleashed her magic as fast as she could—not just kill the Queen. Reducing the number of medusas as much as possible is also a matter of urgency.
"Ahh......hh Melti ...... Is Melti going to be turned into a mermaid sculpture?"
Rig gave up on treatment, and Merti felt stressed.
"In that case......
The opponent's petrified magic belongs to the type that the longer it drags on, the worse it will die. With that in mind, Leah decided to take the plunge. The magic that was done in Mage City was done in the first place to deal with this kind of eventuality!
"Everybody !! help me delay for five minutes!!"
Little Lori shouted.
"Is there anything you can do?"
Karene turned to look at Leah.
"If Sister Karen-chan thinks strategic magic works......"
"Strategic magic!?"
Little Lori's words shocked Kalian's spirits.
The so-called strategic magic refers to the magic that can only be completed by chanting for a long time, and even requires materials, as well as special rituals and props such as magic cores. Meteor Shower is a classic example of this, and one of the most often used strategic magic in warfare.
"Knights!! it's time to give your lives!! for the glory and victory of Randall, I command you - to protect the princess and Leah, and to remember !! loyalty - faith - glory - courage - !!"
Karene forced Queen Medusa back with a sword, and turned back and shouted.
"Loyalty-Faith-Glory-Courage-!!"
The voices of the knights echoed through the temple, even confusing the Medusa.
At this time, there was no need to speak, and little Lori lowered her staff and took out the wand that had not been used in battle for a long time. This is a difficult magic, so the most important thing to pursue is not power, but stability.
"Let's meet the apocalypse...... Monsters ......"
Leah used her wand to write a mysterious magic symbol in the air, and as a www.biquge.info for the Fun Pavilion, the elements of the hall began to clash with each other.
"Hiss-!!"
At the same moment, with the instinct of a monster, Queen Medusa felt the crisis of her life. She gave the instructions, and the snakes began to swarm in the direction of Leah.
"Hold on to !!"
Alec threw away his two-handed sword, unloaded the small iris shield he had been carrying from his back, and there were many people who had changed into defensive equipment like him, and the current situation did not need to attack, just defend.
"Cut! These guys are starting to fight hard, too!"
On the one hand, it is for honor and faith, and on the other hand, it is a gathering of instincts to survive, whether it is a knight or a Medusa. All began to become disregardful.
"Damn...... If only I could do the same instantaneous crowd magic as Leah......"
Leah's arcane blasts, though less powerful, can be sent instantaneously, as Isabella has devoted a lot of time to the study of alchemy. As a result, the use of magic is not able to be sent and received freely.
She tossed the last golems in her pocket and began to chant Firestorm.
At this time, compared to adding a shield to the knights, the group AOE can disrupt the opponent's impact more, and the so-called attack is the best defense.
But even so, the curse of the petrified MONOCULUS is gradually eroding, and the most combative Karen is being held back by Empress Medusa, and she can only see these two disadvantages. The curse is especially troublesome, because the longer it drags on, the stricter it becomes, even though Rig is already doing his best. As a mercenary with not very good strength, the gap between him and the truly respected shamans of the Orc Clan is still too big.
The first to be sacrificed were Isabella's golems, which were originally cannon fodder and were soon drowned under Medusa's desperate frenzy.
Then, for the first time, death struck the fifteen-strong squad.
It was a knight...... Although he followed Karen's teachings. Use the hands and tails of your enemies to judge the attack and ease the pressure of the curse. But he never imagined that the threat of the enemy was not limited to this.
Armed without a shield, he used his spear to hold off the attack, but soon, the enemy poked his head out......
"Ahh!!h
Screams rang out, and the crowd discovered that the poor knight had been bitten in the face by a poisonous snake on Medusa's head.
The strange dark green color spread, and the knight scratched his throat, only to find that his lungs had stopped working under the erosion of the toxin, and he could not breathe. Unable to exert his strength, he was immediately scratched off by Medusa with her claws.
"Beware!! these snake-like hairs are venomous!!"
The knights shouted, and once again they were forced to look each other in the eye. The petrified erosion suddenly became dramatic.
But that doesn't mean the situation on the field is starting to tilt in Medusa's favor. Leah had begun to condense a vortex of magic that could not be ignored, and although no element danced with it, everyone could feel that the space they were in was beginning to stir, as if a giant beast was about to break out of the cocoon across the dimensional barrier!
"Whoa!!!!!"
The knights were in a hurry, and Queen Medusa was even more anxious, seeing that the enemy's defensive circle could not be broken for a long time, and the enemy's tendency to kill them became more and more obvious.
Finally, with a size advantage three times that of humans, she condescendingly threw the trident in her hand out of thin air.
"Danger - !!"
At this point, it was too late to stop, and Karin could only warn loudly.
Because of the attack from overhead, the knights couldn't stop the position they occupied, and Alec wanted to defend back, but he was distracted and neglected to take precautions. As a result, a snake's hair bypassed his shield.
"Oops!"
"It doesn't matter, I'll leave it to me here, and Lord Leah's side will please!"
The cold flashed, and the snake's kiss that was originally coming towards Alec's neck was cut by a sharp "dinner knife". Taking the other party's place, Rebecca said without looking back.
Before he could even respond to the head maid who had been guarding Leah and the princess all along, Alec hurried over after giving a reassuring look.
On the other side, seeing the trident getting closer and closer to her, Leah didn't stop chanting magically. Whether to escape and get a short time, or desperately try to win a glimmer of life, she has already made a choice in her heart.
Moreover, she believed in Karene and her knights.
"Give me-catch-up-!!"
Alec roared, and with a fighting spirit, covered the shield.
The fighting spirit covered the weapons and armor, and at this moment, Alec was promoted from the fourth level, the milky white fighting spirit exuded a divine brilliance, and he threw the shield in his hand like a meteor!
Qiang - !!
After the impact of the play, the shield and the trident each deviated from their original trajectory and fell to the ground.
"Yo...... I'll leave it to you next...... Lady ......"
As if he had lost his strength, Alec said as he knelt on the ground.
Leah didn't answer, the only thing she could do now was to concentrate on chanting the incantation, but even so, the slightly raised corners of her mouth perfectly expressed her mood.
[Ah...... Rest assured, I'll let this qiē end......]
Smiling, with a burst of azure light, the little Lori disappeared in place!
"Come on...... It's time to pay for what you've done!!"
When she reappeared, she was already in the heart of the Medusa.
"Hiss-!!"
Although it is unknown why the enemy is here, the snakes still swarm up.
"Huh?"
Then the snake women made a sound of confusion, for they found that the claws that should have torn the heads of their enemies had been separated from their arms, that the long tail that was supposed to have severed their loins had been twisted into an impossible shape, and that the snake's hair, which was supposed to be bitten and infused with deadly poison, had dissipated into the air as powder.
The moment it appeared in the midst of the snakes, a blue storm swept around Leah.
Fragments turned into sharp blades, severing hands and feet, distorting space, separating bodies, and the entire Medusa group seemed to be trapped in a huge meat grinder, unable to resist and reduced to minced meat.
But even under such a terrifying elemental storm, with the instinct of biological survival, they still found the weakness of the spell, that is, in order to make the magic play the strongest effect, little Lori actually jumped into their group.
The weak snake girl will only disappear in an instant, but the more powerful, even Queen Medusa herself, is rushing towards Leah, since she can't escape this storm, it is better to shred the caster herself before being torn apart by the storm!
"Cut! Don't try to escape!!"
Seeing that Queen Medusa had shifted her target, Karen immediately stabbed her enemy in the back with a sword.
But it doesn't seem to care about the opposite.,Even if it's pierced by a sharp blade.,Still rely on the amazing vitality of the monster to continue to move towards the little Lori.。
"Level 5 Magic - Dimensional Storm. Indeed, according to my theory, this is just a space storm of low purity, and an enemy like you, clad in thick scales, will not be immediately fatal if you are lucky, and killing the caster during this period will give you victory......"
In the face of the enemy's desperate onslaught, Leah did not retreat, but moved forward step by step, her eyes slightly contemptuous, and she opened her arms gracefully, as if to embrace these poor monsters.
"The premise is...... If you can do it......"
In this way, the enemy is desperate, all the attacks penetrate the little Lori, but it does not have any effect, the storm is still there, and Leah is unharmed.
Banishment, this is the greatest guarantee for Leah to dare to jump into the group of snakes alone. Medusa is not a spellcaster, and they are powerless to resist in the face of Lori's near-scoundrel Dimensional Storm and banishment.
In this way, they were reduced to pieces, and even their queen was killed by the double blow of Karen and the Elemental Storm.
Two or three of the scattered kittens barely escaped the range of the Elemental Storm, but they still couldn't escape the knight's clearance.
In the end, this group of monsters who had been sealed here as guards since I don't know when was completely wiped out by Leah and others. Only the empty temple is still recounting the fact that this was once a dark demon cave.
