Chapter 425: Companion (8)
When the barbarian was summoned by Leon, he had just stabbed his spear into the heart of the priest who had trapped Red.
"Dale!" shouted Priest Jacob, dumbfounded.
He also has a deep scar on his body, which was just now won by Red to take the lead with the first attack, and the giant sword was slashed down in one fell swoop, fortunately, the priest himself has divine protection, and at the same time, Dale added a layer of holy shield to him, so he was lucky not to fall into the end of being cut off by a sword.
And then Dale applied healing to him, and stood in front of him to fend off Red's attack, buying Jacob a chance to recover.
Jacob's wounds gradually began to heal, and he also regained the strength to fight again, and just replaced Dale, but he didn't expect a more burly man to rush out from the depths of the woods, and the weapon was instantly pierced, directly piercing Dale.
Dale lowered his head and stared blankly at the spear passing through his chest, he opened his mouth to say something, only to find that his throat had been filled with blood, and a mouth spurted out.
Jacob left his opponent behind, raised his golden scepter and galloped over.
As soon as he approached, the priest noticed that the burly man with the spear had suddenly disappeared, and his companion's body was also limp and collapsed to the ground, and he immediately picked him up.
"Dale!" Jacob shouted again.
But his companion's eyes had been slowly closed, and the spear had pierced his body and destroyed all internal organs, and ordinary healing techniques had no effect at all.
Holy Priest Dale was killed in battle.
Red put his greatsword on the ground not far away, gasping for breath. Although he seriously injured the priest with his first attack, his own body was also greatly consumed, and he saw that Jacob's injuries began to improve. If Sapa hadn't arrived in time, he would have been in a bad situation.
"Leon, this kid ......"
A smile overflowed Red's face, as he knew that since Sapa had appeared, Erin should be out of danger.
And now it was different, without a holy priest who specialized in restoration and protection, and also had the means to attack, there was only one priest left who had not fully recovered from his injuries, which was not a problem for him at all.
He stood up. Said lightly: "You have also lost your companion, and now you can understand our feelings, right?"
Jacob slowly lowered the priest's body, looked up and said, "No, that's different. We are sacrificed for the will of the Holy See and for the faith in our hearts, and his spirit will always remain, and he will turn into a divine force to continue to protect us!"
"You people don't even understand ......"
"Enough. "I'm an adult. I won't be affected by your preaching, are you willing to take me over now, or will you continue to fight me?"
Jacob clenched his scepter, "We'll fight to the last man!"
"Don't worry, you're definitely not going to be the last one," Red smiled, dragging the greatsword as he walked over.
The battle is on again.
Reed's body was quite depleted, and Jacob was also injured and not healed. The two were evenly matched for a while, and Jacob witnessed Dale's death. There was also a priest beside him who had not yet recovered from a serious injury, so he was afraid to face almost every attack of his opponent, but fortunately, Red was experienced in combat, and not only was he not frightened by the priest's fighting style, but he repeatedly took advantage of Jacob's impatience and added a few more injuries to him.
The two continue to fight, and it will take at least a while to determine the winner.
But unfortunately, at this time, the priest who was first seriously injured by Red and collapsed under the tree woke up.
"See? This is the Holy See's protection of me!" Jacob said, "Watson, hold on!
Watson shook his head back and forth, still a little delirious, but he gradually came to his senses, looking at his disappeared left arm, and his face showed anger.
Watson sat up slowly with his remaining right arm support, then reached out and grabbed the two-handed staff that had fallen to the side.
Red's face was a little unpleasant at this time, although this priest was more seriously injured, but as long as he could cast one or two magic spells, it might make his efforts undone.
At that moment, the sound of a rope sounded, and several black spiders the size of a human head appeared from behind a nearby tree and crawled in their direction.
Jacob noticed the creatures, which he didn't think about at first, because all kinds of creatures could appear in the big forest, and a few spiders were not worth noting.
But strangely, the spider dodged their fighting position and headed straight for Watson.
Jacob frowned, took a few steps back, and kicked a spider with his foot, spilling reddish-brown bodily fluids all over the ground as the spider's body burst.
Oblivious to the death of their kind, the other spiders sped up and circled Watson, opening their mouths to bite the priest's leg.
"Watson be careful, there may be enemies!" Jacob sensed that there was something strange about the spiders, and he stepped up his guard.
Spiders of this size can't possibly have intelligence, maybe they've been manipulated by someone, otherwise their attacks wouldn't have been so targeted.
"Guessed it......" Erin's figure appeared not far away.
"Fireball!"
Two fireballs flew towards Watson, one in front of the other and one in the back, a bright orange-red glow illuminating the priest's face full of surprise.
Jacob shouted, he wanted to get out of the opponent's attack and go back to rescue Watson, but Red had been prepared since the moment the spider appeared, and attacked with all his strength at this time, not giving the priest this chance at all.
There were two explosions, and the moment the fireball hit the ground, the priest finally pronounced the last syllable, and stretched out a circle of holy shields around his body.
After the effect of the fireball spell, the tree behind the priest had fallen to the ground with raging flames, and Watson stood up from the flames, although the holy shield on his body was a little dim, but it was still unharmed.
However, two more fireballs lit up the area.
Fear grew in the priest's heart, and he tried to escape the range of the fireball, but at this point he could only stand up, and he staggered to walk. What's more, it's running?
The same flames, the same vibrations, the holy shield on the priest finally disappeared. And it seemed that his mental power after being seriously injured could not release the second holy shield, so he only applied a healing technique to himself, and then with a full body of flames, he staggered away step by step towards the periphery of the fire with a scream.
Jacob was so angry when he saw his companion's tragic condition that he risked being attacked by his opponent and added a protective flame barrier to Watson from a distance, which finally alleviated his companion's injury.
However. Fireballs reappear from somewhere in the forest, and the target is still Watson.
Erin is very clever and has been hiding behind trees since she first appeared. And change the position at any time, so that Jacob has no way to confirm the position, avoiding the possibility of being forcibly attacked by this priest.
Watson looked back at the two fireballs that were shortly spaced apart, despair on his face. He had very little mental power left. The Holy Shield Technique also lost its effect, and only the two effects of the Healing Technique and the Protective Flame were maintained, how many times could you hold out in the face of such a continuous fireball attack from the mage?
But he still limped out, and now he could only hope that the female mage's strength was not too strong, and the fireball technique was not too much.
The explosion of the fireball threw Watson flying and fell hard, and he shook his head to his feet, performing one last recovery on himself. Continue to flee at a slower pace.
I have to say that the priest's ability lies in this, and he still doesn't die after the mage's six fireball spells. And he also has the ability to move, if he was just given time to recover, even if only half of his mental power was left, it was estimated that he would ignore Irene's attack.
But there was no "if" in the matter, and half a minute later, the holy priest Watson died from the tenth fireball.
A little over three minutes later, Battle Priest Jacob died when Red and Erin joined forces.
When the battle finally ended, Erin and Red had a brief conversation before leaving, Melissa was also facing two opponents and would definitely need their support.
A distance of several tens of meters was soon reached, and when they arrived at the scene of Melissa's battle, the first thing they saw was a corpse lying on the ground, a priest, covered with scars from sharp weapons, and died in a tragic state.
Not far away, under the tree, two figures were entangled, silent.
Irene was startled, and immediately ran over, shouting, "Melissa, how are you?"
Red reached out to stop her and whispered, "Be careful, I think it's a little strange......"
"What?" asked Erin, confused.
"There doesn't seem to be Melissa between the two men. ”
“...... Impossible, right?"
When Irene left, Melissa was clearly fighting the two clergy here, and now that a priest had died in battle, the two men on the ground over there were, of course, the priest and Melissa herself.
"But...... I always feel like something isn't right," Red hesitated, as if doubting his eyesight.
They cautiously approached the two entangled, and when they could finally see their faces clearly, Red and Melissa took a breath at the same time.
They froze.
One of them is a battle officer, yes, but the other ...... But it's a giant wolf in human form?
The priest was no longer breathing, but the wolf's belly was still slightly undulating, and its mouth was biting into the priest's throat until it was unconscious.
"Man-wolf!" Red exclaimed, raising his greatsword and looking around vigilantly, "Oh no! It must have been the sound of Melissa fighting with them that drew the beast to death, so it bit the priest to death, but where is Melissa?"
Compared with Red's nervousness, Erin was silent, she quietly looked at the human wolf on the ground, as if she was thinking about something.
The girl suddenly walked forward.
Red immediately said, "It's still alive, be careful if it hurts you!"
"It's okay," Erin whispered, "she's not a human wolf, she's Melissa." ”
"Huh?" Red looked surprised, if it weren't for Erin's unusually stern expression, he would really think that this usually erudite and calm girl was confused.
"Yes, I think so, if it is a human wolf who is attracted to it, it will definitely not fight to this point with an opponent of similar strength......"
Erin crouched down beside the man-wolf, gently stroked the golden hair on "her", and said, "And, look at the rags on the ground over there, it's Melissa's clothes, she must have torn them when she became like this." ”
"So, she's Melissa. (To be continued......)
