Chapter 20: The Collapse of the Tunnel
Fortunately, after the death howl was raging, the souls of the necromantic creatures were also pulled out of their bodies, and the skeletons and zombies fell to the ground, so that they no longer posed any threat to the members of the Thunder Family team.
Without thinking, Leo legislated to cast defensive magic to resist. At the same time, the Grey Alfalfa also applied a defensive shield to itself, and the Iron Fist flipped the pages of the book, unleashing beams of light to intercept.
Seeing that they were still moving, the orcs were enraged again, and screamed: "Die, die, give me death, eat them, eat them!"
At this moment, all his attention was focused on the three people who were standing.
Suddenly, a figure ejected from the ground, and the light of the snow sword cut through the darkness and slashed directly at the orc corpse witch, which turned out to be Demon, who should have "fainted" to the past!
The orc didn't have time to react, and a stab was slashed in the chest, and the strange fur slid off, revealing skin covered in black scales.
"Zilala!"
Demon was ready to attack with all his might, and hit the orc directly in the chest and abdomen.
The lightning spread, and then there was a crisp sound like slashing metal.
Under the blazing electricity, the fur of the orcs turned to ashes, revealing the black scales that covered the orcs.
And Demon's knife, only three points into the scales, slightly pierced into the gray-white rotten muscles, like ink-like blood oozing out, with a strong smell of decay, when it touched the metal, emitting bursts of white smoke, obviously extremely corrosive.
"Didn't cut in?" Leo's surprise at the moment was no less than the corpse witch's instantaneous "death howl" just now.
There is no doubt that the long knife in Demon's hand is no ordinary weapon. At least epic quality magic items, both sharp and special enchantments, are enough to easily slice through most metals.
It's unimaginable. The corpse witch was able to demonize himself and obtain an extremely powerful body! Although Demon hit accurately with a single sword, the other party only suffered some minor injuries, and did not hurt the root at all.
As for why Demont was able to attack, it is easy to understand. In addition to the magic scrolls, he must have prepared other extraordinary equipment that can effectively resist the death howl. One of the largest forces in the Western Exile. This kind of small thing is nothing to the Thunder family. And this is probably also a killer move carefully designed by Demon.
The orc's face was similarly incredulous. But what surprised him was that these humble and insignificant fellows not only interrupted their rituals, but also hurt themselves!
That's the scales of the Armored Demon!
This human. Actually broke the scales of the armored demon!
Unquenchable anger erupted in an instant. The orc corpse witch was very reluctant to eat Dermon one bite at a time.
No, this is not enough to soothe the anger, only hundreds of fresh lives, hundreds of sweet souls, can barely satisfy the emptiness of the heart!
The bloody mouth opened wide, revealing a mouth full of beast-like teeth, and the orc corpse witch was really ready to bite Demon to death.
Of course, Demont could not sit still and miss a single blow, although it was a great pity. But he immediately pulled away and fell to the ground. Swiftly dodged the Orc Corpse Witch's attack.
The orc corpse witch simply hated Dermon to the bone, where would he just let him go, and a pair of huge demon wings suddenly spread out on his back, suddenly accelerated, and flew to chase down.
After all, Demont had undergone strict training, and his movements were extremely fast, and he circled around the square, so that the orc corpse witch had no way to deal with him for a while. His meaning was obvious, to delay as much time as possible to allow the others to recover and join forces again against the strong enemy.
And Leo, who originally had the intention of attacking the corpse witch, also quickly suppressed this idea, in case he attracted its attention, it would be terrible, not to mention that the speed of both was very fast, and it was difficult to carry out an effective mental power lock.
The fury was brewing, fermenting, and the orc corpse witch, completely controlled by the rage, let out a roar that resounded through the hall.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Iron Fist and Gray Alfalfa, who had not lost consciousness, immediately rescued several people who were unconscious, and even Murafa's soul was redrawn to his body and quickly woke up.
Although they endured the howl of death, several people were actually not injured, and their combat effectiveness was not weakened, as long as they re-stabilized their souls, they could fight against the orcs and corpses.
After chasing for a while, still unable to catch up with the enemy, the extremely confused consciousness of the orc corpse witch finally sensed that something was wrong, and his spiritual power swept through the hall, and he suddenly found that everyone had regained their vitality.
"Attack the Corpse Witch, attack its wounds!" Leo felt he was being noticed, and immediately gave the command in Demon's place.
Hearing him say this, the few people who recovered would hesitate, and all kinds of means were used for a while.
Leo's magic, the half-elf's arrow of life, the alfalfa's spell magic, the holy beam of the Iron Fist, and even Charlotte, whose bloodline energy was on the verge of exhaustion, gritted his teeth and cast a thunder spell.
Caught off guard, the Witch was hit by multiple attacks in a row. But its spell resistance is surprisingly high, and its body is extremely strong, and the wound only widens slightly, revealing the gray-black heart inside.
Strangely, its heart beats very slowly, and it takes ten seconds to beat.
I don't know if it was because of the pain, or if it was because of the anger that had been fooled, the corpse witch yelled a few times, and then suddenly froze in the center of the hall, and his face showed a look of pain, completely ignoring the second wave of everyone's attack.
Under the series of attacks, the wound was enlarged again, and even the heart was broken in half, and perhaps the next moment a second death would be ushered in.
But the corpse witch was unconscious, muttering a series of blunt, harsh words.
"What is he going to do?"
Everyone's minds were filled with such questions.
However, the Witch soon told them his purpose.
A pair of curved demonic horns suddenly pierced through his forehead, and the fangs quickly withdrew into his mouth, the already sharp claws became sharper, and a pair of big feet turned into hooves!
"Oh my God, that's. Is that...... Completely demonized!" For the first time, the gray alfalfa, which had always been very calm, let out a panicked tone.
"Come on, come on, my little liver. All came to me. The Demon Corpse Witch's hands clenched into fists, and a faint purple light surged from them.
As he spoke, countless souls scattered around him gathered towards him, and after just one breath, a shuddering soul aggregation was condensed on his two hands.
"Stop him!" Demon sensed the danger and leaped to his feet, the long knife in his hand bursting with lightning. The counterattack was relaunched, targeting the Corpse Witch's broken heart.
Even if it is already a necromantic creature, the heart is still a source of energy. As long as it is completely destroyed, you will be able to achieve the ultimate victory!
Several other people also didn't care about guessing, and they cooperated to launch an attack.
However, they were still a step slower after all, and the fist of the demon corpse witch suddenly opened. The gathered souls struck at the crowd at great speed.
Evil spirits erupt!
Derived from the instinct of the corpse witch, there is an extremely powerful spell!
Demon was the first to be hit. Before he could hit the corpse witch, the whole person flew out upside down and fell heavily to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Immediately after that, a part of the evil spirits separated into the bodies of the undead creatures that were scattered all over the ground, and in the blink of an eye, these creatures also completed their demonization. They all got back to their feet, letting out a piercing scream. Kill them all.
Iron Fist didn't have time to think about it, and threw both the Holy Book of Light and the Sword into the sky, muttering words in his mouth. In the next moment, the holy text and the sword fused and reverted to the shape of the scales, and then burst out with a light like a small sun, enveloping everyone, and finally barely resisting the outbreak of evil energy and the attacks of the monsters.
"Quick...... I...... Hang on...... No...... How long ......," Iron Fist said with difficulty.
It seems that because of the demonization, the recovery speed of the corpse witch has increased a lot, and the flesh and blood in the wound can't help but squirm, and in the blink of an eye, most of it has healed.
Seeing this scene, Leo knew very well that he had to use the means of pressing the bottom of the box, otherwise no one would want to leave here.
However, this method must hit the target with extreme precision, and if it deviates slightly, with the power of the corpse witch, it will definitely have a chance to recover.
But there were too many evil spirits flying around, which caused serious interference to the spiritual power, so that he couldn't lock on to the target for a while, obviously these evil spirits can not only attack, but also protect. Coupled with the interference of those demonized necromantic creatures, it is even more difficult to use magic to accurately hit the corpse witch.
Beads of sweat continued to drip down, blurring his eyes, and he gritted his teeth with an iron fist, all holding on with his last breath.
"No, I can't lock it down, damn it!" Leo cursed in a low voice, quickly making up his mind and saying, "The others quickly retreat, and Iron Fist and I stay! ”
"What are you going to do?" asked Alfalfa hurriedly.
"I'm going to get rid of it!" Leo's gaze was fixed on the corpse witch, "Hurry up! Don't talk nonsense, this place will definitely collapse in a while, and if you don't leave, no one will be able to leave!"
"But you ......," Charlotte had tears in her eyes. The girl thought that Leo was going to die with the corpse witch.
"I have a way to get out with an iron fist. Leo's voice was cold and unmistakable.
Gray Alfalfa said expressionlessly: "I'll stay too, I can help you fix it!"
Leo thought for a moment, if the gray alfalfa could really work, it would save him the trouble of flying into the sky and flying back. At the same time, he was sure that he should be able to take the two of them, so he nodded and said, "Okay, bug, first clean up the evil spirits around the corpse witch as much as possible, and then you can leave."
Hearing him say this, the half-elf's longbow rang out, and several arrows flew out, and the rich life energy instantly wiped out several evil spirits flying around the corpse witch.
"Let's go!" Leo shouted.
Knowing that staying here would not help much, several people no longer hesitated, picked up Demon, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and ran backwards quickly.
"Don't let anyone go! I said, I want you to serve me forever!" When the corpse witch saw that these hateful fellows were actually planning to escape, he was willing to let go, and flew directly after him.
The gray alfalfa did not dare to bear it, and immediately recited the long prayer. At this time, her hair was flying without wind, and her originally smooth skin was wrinkled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This magic technique turned out to be at the cost of consuming life force!
"Listen to me, don't cast it yet, be ready to freeze it!" Leo said to Alfalfa.
The female priest of the Mystic Sect nodded silently and did not ask any more questions.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the corpse witch directly collided with the light shield maintained by the iron fist, the divine energy, the burning marks left on its skin, but it didn't care.
"Boom!"
On the second impact, the light mask was already crumbling, and blood spurted from Iron Fist's mouth.
"Boom!"
The third impact directly broke the light mask, and the iron fist made a painful sound, and his eyes were completely unconscious.
Before losing consciousness, he took a deep look at Leo, hoping that this young mage with great potential could fulfill his promise to kill the corpse witch and take him out of here.
Leo's spiritual power swept away, and several other people had already run out of the hall and entered the pit, and the corpse witch had just rushed in front of him, right now!
"Sure!" he commanded.
As soon as he finished speaking, a chain of bright stars suddenly appeared around the corpse witch, causing it to quickly stop moving.
The tiny starry chains were too delicate for the corpse witch, but under the restrictions of the chains, the corpse witch could only helplessly freeze in place, unable to move.
At this time, the distance between it and Leo was less than half a meter.
The end of the world is just a stone's throw away!
A little spark flew out of Leo's finger, not very fast, and slowly drifted towards the corpse witch's wound. That's why Leo had to get close to the Witch, the Flame Nova was powerful enough, but it was slow and the probability of hitting was too poor, and only getting close to the target could it guarantee success.
The corpse witch suddenly felt a huge threat, but the evil spirits around it had just been wiped out by the half-elves, and it was too late to summon other evil spirits to resist.
"Kalala!" the corpse witch struggled desperately, and under its immense power, the starry chains suddenly cracked, but they stubbornly did not break.
A second later, the Flame Nova was contaminated with the Witch's wounds, as if it had encountered fuel, and the flames quickly amplified, not only invading the Witch's flesh, but also greatly weakening its fire resistance.
Leo smiled, raised his hand and ripped the golden nose ring off the other's nose around his neck, and spat out a few syllables.
Then he quickly crouched down, holding the iron fist in one hand and the gray alfalfa in the other.
"Boom!"
The explosion like a small nuclear bomb occurred, and the corpse witch at the center of the explosion lost its flame resistance, and its body was shattered in an instant, the black blood was evaporated, the muscles turned into ashes, and the soul also disappeared in the violent energy, and only a small number of extremely hard bones remained.
Under the violent explosion, the supporting structure of the hall was completely destroyed, and countless stones fell, bringing a chain reaction, and the collapse spread towards the exit of the tunnel. (To be continued......)
