Chapter 102: Hidden Deeply
"It's so much fun...... So what about your second finding? ”
"The second discovery is that I can't attack you."
"Oh? It seems that it is impossible to hide it. ”
Instantly launched an offensive posture again, and was no longer willing to give Grossar time to breathe.
He didn't even know the answer, after all, Grossar's perceptual ability was so good that he could piece together the truth even in the smallest details. There is no need to confirm, while the poisonous effect is still there, dispose of the man in front of you as soon as possible.
Grosar naturally understood the other party's intentions, but the fact that the poisonous effect still existed could not be changed.
At the moment, it seems that the poison effect of the shadow vine only affects its own actions and does not weaken the elements in its body.
Then no problem.
Although this woman named Instant is weaker than herself, under the premise of information asymmetry, it is difficult for him to fight her with the attitude of releasing water. So, it's okay to show some real skills.
Since you have mastered the way to crack the other party, you naturally don't need to be polite.
"Before the war, I want to remind you of something."
"Procrastination...... Useless! ”
Instantly, without waiting for Grossar's reminder, he stretched out his shadow claws and rushed straight at Grossar.
"Really...... There's enough urgency - 'Light Lion Roar'! ”
The chant was quickly finished.
The speed of the moment is fast - but, Grossar is faster.
The moment the shadow claw was about to touch Grossar, a light elemental lion head appeared between the two of them out of thin air, and its fierce face glared at the attacking moment, as if it gave a heavenly punishment to the angry glare—roaring out of golden light!
The low and thick lion roar felt the majesty of the lion king, and the king's roar, which was enough to shatter the internal organs, turned into the strongest spear, and stabbed sharply at the moment when it attacked him. Comes with light elemental dust that can cause an explosion with just a touch.
The loud sound of "bump" really hit the body of the moment.
Such a close-range counterattack, coupled with the rapid casting of spells without warning, under various factors, the moment that could not be dodged could only be swallowed by the strong light and sound waves, and the slender figure instantly disappeared into the golden light, silent.
When the golden light faded, an instantaneous figure appeared—covered in burns from the explosion.
The look of pain and disbelief was perfectly reflected in Grossal's observation.
This scene also gives Grossar a definite answer.
"Sure enough, whether it's a pure physical attack or a physical attack mixed with magic, as long as you have the assistance of a tool, you who turn your figure into a shadow can perfectly avoid it, but pure magic can't resist it."
"Could it be...... Because...... Previously...... Light Elemental Sphere ...... ...... Inspired to you? ”
"Mostly, yes. But there is one detail that you overlook, that is, the sneak attack I inflicted behind you at the beginning was also the same as the shock wave of the 'Light Lion Roar' just now, but you chose to resist with a shadow rather than take it with your body. ”
“…… It seems to be careless. ”
Instantaneously shook his head in disbelief while blaming himself for his negligence.
The burns on the skin are recovering rapidly, and it is supposed to be caused by the healing of the "shadow curtain" of the enchantment.
But it's not invincible - he's still panting for breath, and it seems that it's just recovering from the damage to his skin.
"Can you finally listen to me? Actually, in addition to being good at swords, I'm also good at using magic. Don't look at me, as the strongest swordsman in Eink, and I'm no less than a first-class magus in terms of magic. ”
“…… It's unbelievable, perverted chanting speed, top-notch spell casting power, terrifying magic purity, this kind of extremely talented person actually lives in the kingdom of Aynk as a swordsman. ”
"It's hidden...... Right? ”
Grossar didn't waste time walking towards the tired moment, the "light lion roar" just now really brought a lot of load to the moment, after all, it was a complete injury, and it was very powerful without losing consciousness.
also took advantage of the fact that the other party temporarily lost his ability to fight, and endured the poisonous effect of the shadow vine strongly, and hurriedly forced a confession.
Standing three steps away from an instant is a safe distance to react to the undead onslaught.
With his lofty eyes, he looked down at the moment when he knelt on the ground due to pain.
Grossar raised the palm of his right hand and condensed an appropriate amount of light elemental balls, which served as a weapon to threaten to confess the truth instantly.
"It's time to follow the rules of the gambling contract, right? I did subdue your actions as the treaty said, and you, as the loser, should you tell me who is behind this child kidnapping case? ”
"Hehehehe...... The bet isn't over yet. ”
"Are you going to pay off?"
"No—I told you, right? If you can subdue my actions, I will lose, but I will not fall because of it. In short, I have other ways to keep up with you. ”
"Is your mouth hard......? Looks like I'm going to have to teach you a lesson! ”
Holding his sanctioned right hand high, he was ready to smash the light elemental ball in his palm into Instant's hands.
Unexpectedly, the situation unfolded dramatically - against the sharp pain in his body, he quickly tore open the different space in an instant, and took out the magic prop that even Jiugou Luo was in awe of--that was the "Demon Summoning Blood Jade".
The dim and ominous light of blood, the illegal magic props filled with an evil aura, Grossar recognized it at a glance.
"Demon Summoning Blood Jade!? How could you have that kind of thing? ”
"Compared to this question...... Let's take care of how you're going to deal with the next monsters! ”
In an instant, he stretched out his right hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smeared it to the surface of the demonic blood jade—the blood light began to flicker.
I'm afraid it's a powerful enemy that even Grossar couldn't predict, or even an evil spirit that can't be controlled even for a moment.
Before the light of condemnation of sin can come, new calamities will follow in a hurry.
If people were to mention what species is at the top of the world, there would be tens of millions of answers, but they would not be consistent.
Some people believe that the gods who created all kinds of phenomena are the top of all species, and they are naturally the strongest beings in the world.
Some people worship the justice and perseverance of the dragon clan, and the great instrument that embraces all things makes the dragon clan sublimated into the living iron law of all things.
Some admire the elves' acumen and resourcefulness, which can overcome all obstacles, make them overcome or even surpass all limitations.
The well-known magical class is actually named according to the strength of the species.
The order of strength is determined by the number of believers. For example, the belief in the Protoss is the strongest believer in the world, and its proportion is the largest among the different believers, so the "God Rank" is the top of the magic strength.
The limit of human beings is the "Transcendent Illusion Level", and from therein -
- The Spirit Rank is a reference to the name of the Elves, which is located after the Transcendental Level.
- The Dragon Rank is a reference to the name of the Dragon Clan, which is located after the Spirit Rank.
- The Divine Rank is a reference to the name of the Protoss, which is located after the Dragon Rank.
All of the above is information before a certain mystical race was excavated.
In 1872, there were already monsters and cognition. This group of strange crystals mutated from ordinary creatures has a physique and strength beyond imagination. There are even a handful of powerful mutants that possess intelligence, are able to converse with humans normally, and possess an exceptional ability to learn, which is often shunned.
And on a certain day in May 1872, the army of a certain country encountered a tall and rugged creature in the dark forest in the northwest, the festering purple skin oozed translucent viscous blood, and the bones seemed to be pulled by some strange force, showing an angle that did not conform to the biological structure, and the whole exuded a monster-like atmosphere.
It is a three-armed and four-armed sheep-headed human body, and the back of the neck and the entire back are covered with a pale blue fire, showing the majesty of this monster, like a lion's mane growing on a goat, and its tame face is lined with fierce weapons.
At that time, the deputy captain and captain of the army unanimously concluded that this monster was a monster, an unregistered monster.
Without much thought, the two decision-makers improvised an attack lineup at a distance of only ten meters from the monster.
They intend to capture the unregistered monster alive.
In 1872, the human race already had the strength to fight monsters, not to mention that it was a group of nearly 10,000 vanguard troops, whether it was martial arts or magic, they could easily capture a group of monsters close to the phantom level alive.
Miraculously, the troops were arranged in front of the monster's eyes, and the monster didn't say anything. Quietly watching the army gradually take shape, he didn't even put on an offensive or defensive posture, just froze in place.
As strange as it was, the captain and vice-captain just laughed it off and weren't too alert. They reasonably believed that the monster had been frightened by the majestic number and was therefore unable to move.
However, it wasn't until the rehearsal was complete that they were about to regret their arrogance and decision.
After the call to "attack", dozens of long-range elemental magic followed. The colorful composite elemental offensive smashed into the monster's body like a torrential rain.
In an instant, the smoke quickly devoured the figure of the monster, and the explosion shook the earth, and the flames had sprouted into flames and thick smoke, and the surrounding trees had already been shattered by frequent and powerful attacks.
The vice-captain smiled and proudly raised his right hand to stop the attack.
Presumably, those pairs of eyes all projected a disdainful look of "nothing more than that" at the monster.
With the intention of capturing him alive, the deputy captain slowly walked towards the dense fog in an unguarded state-
Unexpectedly, a "giant wrist" rushed out of the dense smoke, instantly pinching the deputy captain to death.
How big is the scale? The vice-captain, who was nearly two meters tall and nearly two adults in width, was as inaccessible as a grain of white rice in that terrifying right wrist, and had no power to break free, and his figure disappeared in the palm of his hand in an instant.
The giant palm was big enough to slap a small village, and the vice-captain was as small as a fly. But I didn't see that huge palm at all before, and now where did the terrifying picture come from?
The reason is simple - it is one of the monster's abilities, which can make all parts of its body gigantic.
The captain's and soldiers' eyes widened in horror on the spot.
What happened after that, also through the only surviving soldier who expounded in horror -
"We were wrong! It wasn't just a monster at all. After the vice-captain was crushed, the monster that was besieged by us immediately came out of the fog - unharmed. Instead of eating the vice-captain's corpse like the other monsters, he stared at us, and then, I will always remember—that mocking smirk at our weakness. ”
Normal monsters don't have any expressions, not even powerful monsters with intelligence.
The monster is not only intelligent, but also has its own mind, and is a separate species that is completely different from the monster.
The tragic death of the vice-captain made the captain, who was full of grief and fear, look up to the sky and howl in pain. Then, losing his mind, he led nearly 10,000 soldiers while encircling the powerful enemy in front of him.
About ten seconds passed—the turf was stained red with splattered blood, and there was no longer half of the soldier standing.
The monster looked around boredly, its right foot slamming on the severed piece of the captain's flesh.
The captain's expression was too much to see as his skull was crushed, but he must have been horrified.
I don't know if I deliberately ignored it or really didn't see it, but the trembling figure hid in the bushes, so scared that it was dangerous to breathe - it was the only soldier alive, hiding in the bushes since the captain's order.
In short, the timid soldier was lucky to survive. And the monster left, not eating the slightest piece of corpse present, not trying to stick out its tongue to absorb the mixed soil of blood and soil, all behaving as if it were a person.
The act of abusing and killing the army seems to be only a counterattack out of self-preservation, but it is cruel beyond common sense.
After a few days of calm, the kingdom of the annihilated army received an anonymous letter afterwards.
The envelope is carefully formatted, well-written, and orderly, and at first glance appears to have been made by a human being.
However, the anonymous letter turned out to be written by the owner of the monster that had been attacked by the army the other day.
The letter mentioned that the country's army had trampled on the territory of the other side for no reason and attacked the soldiers of the other side for no reason, and the monarch heard about this, expressed deep regret and anger, and believed that the country did not cherish the respect between countries, and vigorously condemned it.
The content is expressed quite politely, neither hostile nor malicious, and it seems that it is just trying to remind you?
Until the requirement of the last sentence -
- I hope that the monarch of the country will come to apologize in person before I can stop there.
At the time, the monarch had no idea that a few days earlier, his army had been brutally murdered by an unknown monster. Because that group of troops belonged to the reconnaissance department, the operation that day was a routine patrol, and if there was anything unusual, it needed to be reported.
The surviving soldier was so frightened that he did not dare to return to his home country, fearing that the mistake of his teammates' deaths would eventually be blamed on him. The only source of information did not flow into the country, so naturally no one knew about it.
After the ministers had read the font and format of the letter, no one knew exactly where the other party came from, and after picking up the map and comparing it carefully, there was no connection with other countries.
For this reason, the appearance of this letter was justified by everyone as a prank and ignored.
About three days later, there were serious incidents of foreign invasions on the national border.
First, small villages on the border were bloodied by unknown people, even livestock and crops.
More and more horrific massacres went unnoticed by the monarch.
Relations between the country and other countries were already strained, and it was not uncommon for monarchs or ministers to happen – until a week after the massacres in the villages, the skies of the kingdom's capital suddenly changed.
The area around the town is suspected to have been covered with paralytic barriers, causing the sunny blue sky to degenerate into an abyss-like dark purple.
The paralyzing barrier instantly immobilized everyone in the town, as if their nerves were frozen, and their bodies felt painful and weak. No amount of magic can break through this barrier, and an uncontrolled body can't use martial arts.
Then calamity befell the kingdom.
Several monsters with rugged figures calmly stepped out of the spatial cracks, and their legs equipped with silver leg armor stepped firmly on the town. Bow politely to this beautiful town, as if apologizing for the next action.
The appearance of this group of monsters is the same as the monsters that the army happened to encounter that day. The only difference was that the monsters encountered that day were not wearing armor or weapons - because the demons were wearing purple armor with goat's head.
Apparently the superior leader of the previous monster.
And one of the sheep-headed monsters is even more prominent, and the four pairs of arms each hold a heavy weapon with a distinct appearance-
- "Guillotine", "Dementor Axe", "Skullcrusher Hammer", and "Claw Shield".
Then, start showing your demonic side! Slaughter all the human beings in the town, old and young, women and children.
Ignoring the screams and roars of the cups, the flesh of the people was torn to pieces, just as the soldiers were torn apart by the monster that day. The terrifying screams were like cheering for the monsters, showing a belated welcome.
Amid the wails and the death salutes that fell down one after another, the monsters walked into the castle with ease.
Walking through several staircase gates, tearing the flesh armor of countless soldiers, the monarch greeted you with a fart and urine flow.
The screams of innocent people and soldiers resounded in the sky, and the monarch who was closed in the depths of the castle could hear it clearly, I am afraid that the death march just now was a gift carefully prepared by the monsters-
The monarch was afraid and wanted to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but the effect of the enchantment made him sit on the ground with a limp body, which was no different from "kneeling". There seems to be no more sincere or apologetic gesture.
Those eyes begging for mercy are like small insects living underground, humble and pitiful.
There seemed to be many words expressing remorse, but the monarch's head was blank, filled with the screams of the previous one.
However, it is in vain to say more. The monsters are well aware of this, too.
Seemingly the leader of the monster pack, the towering monster with a strong evil aura stared at the monarch's downfall, and said nothing, just silently brushed the monarch's side and stopped at the throne.
Looking at this throne made of diamonds and gold, it is not only a symbol of power, but also a guarantee of status.
Just staring at it for a few seconds.
The sheep-headed monster turned around and sat down on the throne, the seat still warm, and the handle was slightly moist on the surface, as if it was the sweat of the monarch. The sheep-headed monster's movements also made the rest of the sheep-headed monsters quickly kneel.
The sheep-headed leader stretched out his sturdy four arms, and his simple demeanor made his subordinates make a decision on the spot-
The four evil figures quickly stood up, carefully picking up each heavy weapon.
