Chapter 16: The Dark Moon Festival
To be honest, elves are not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, they are naturally weaker than other races, even if they participate in battle, it is best to train as a ranged soldier, try to avoid close combat, hand-to-hand combat is better left to orc brute warriors.
Unfortunately, the Moon Temple was a pure elven society, and there was no organization of orc warriors, and those delicate elves had to use their thin bodies to resist the fierce attacks of the enemy.
Luckily, the Luna Temple is an organization that supports environmental causes and loves wildlife, which means that there are many druids in the Luna Temple, in other words, there are a lot of beasts in the Luna Temple.
The Chimera was brought back to the temple by Garolina as a personal pet, and at that time it was regarded as a mutant dragon lizard abandoned by her mother, and it was not until hundreds of years later that it was discovered that this guy was actually the pinnacle of wurm creatures.
It is said that the temple once raised a real dragon, but no one knows where the dragon went, after all, dragons don't like to live in groups, and they don't like to live in the settlements of other creatures, and there is a theory that someone once saw Tsukizakura, who was still Lori, setting up a bonfire to roast a huge dragon head.
This claim is obviously not credible, and if Tsukizakura would do such a thing, then there is no reason why the Chimera and Arras War Bear of the Temple would survive. By the way, Chimera's wings and paws are rare delicacies, and dragon meat is hard to chew even when grilled.
However, according to people familiar with the matter, there are many powerful creatures no less than dragons in the temple, and judging from the combat power of that Chimera, that group of creatures is enough for the Moon Temple to dominate the continent. By the way, bombard the god of light and the god of darkness.
So. It's impossible...... Do you think that the super-level demonic beast is a Chinese pastoral dog cub with thirty yuan at the entrance of the vegetable market!
"Speaking of dogs. It occurred to me that I still had a trump card that I hadn't used. Wang Ming said while pouring wine.
"Eh, eh, it's okay to drink on the battlefield?"
"I just want to disinfect my digestive system before the war, so why drink...... Knock knock knock. ”
"I don't know why, but it's so joyful to hear you cooing - why do I think of such a strange image as 'a group of unknown creatures in the Mage Tower being bubbling in water'?"
“......”
With a wave of his hand, Wang Ming threw out a goldfish rib. The corpse hound looked at Wang Ming blankly, motionless.
"What's going on? Wangcai, come on!" Wang Ming said anxiously, why did his big killing weapon fail on the spot.
"It's useless. Tsukizakura lifted a whale rib and threw it far away, smelling the fishy smell of raw meat, and the corpse hound ran after the bone.
"How...... What's the matter, I'm your master!"
"Because you're losing goldfish ribs, I don't think this large undead beast can see the tiny goldfish ribs - anyway, where did you get the goldfish? ”
“...... There are so many funny things about this chapter. ”
"Because the author said that the previous chapter was too serious. It needs to be reconciled. ”
"Actually, he himself is too improper. ”
――――――――――――
The weight of the corpse hound is the total weight of the corpses it has used, and the accumulation of this mass killing weapon has used up 5,000 corpses. The average Naga corpse is seventy kilograms, and if my math knowledge has not degraded to the third grade of elementary school, then the weight of this thing is about 350 tons.
The scene of a lump of 350 tons of meat running wildly on the ground is probably something that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime. With each paw, the splash of water seemed to be enough to overturn the Titanic, and the countless large pits that stepped out of it spread with a kind of earth-shattering momentum, following the corpse hound all the way forward.
If Wang Ming had let the corpse hound pass through from the center of the battlefield, I was afraid that many friendly troops would be injured by mistake, so Tsukizakura used the banana ball to make the bone detour from the edge of the battlefield, and on the minimap, the hound chasing the bone was tantamount to a heavy cavalry launching a surprise attack from the flank.
"I said, why do you want to use such an NC method to control it, isn't it the end of the direct spiritual link?" Tsukizakura kept shooting light arrows, adjusting the direction of the bones' flight.
"There's no way, such a big undead creature, the soul is also very powerful, otherwise it can't bring such a big body, if such a huge creature wants to be controlled by conventional psychic links, electrocardiogram responses or soul contracts, it may take the caster of the entire temple to control it, otherwise it can't be controlled, so I transformed those souls into a soul with a very low IQ but extremely high strength, and then used gentle means to strengthen its bonds, so that it willingly worked for us...... Hmph, hahaha, waka, I'm really a genius!!"
Wang Ming's Yagami Sanduan smile was extinguished by the strange eyes of the people around him.
Yueying suddenly thought of the crux of the problem: "That is to say, if the other party also cultivates a relationship with it, this guy will turn against him at any time, is that the case?"
"That's right!"
"Bang dang!" a frying pan smashed on Wang Ming's head.
"You idiot, you really did such a stupid thing to show off your brains? Are you having your brain caught in the door or the door caught in your brain!"
"Don't worry, I already restricted the permission when I set the soul for this thing, the hound only reacts to beautiful women now, and it must be the best beauty, and the beauty of the Naga tribe has been excluded by me. ”
"Do you ......?"
"That's right, the authority has been raised to the level of you and me, unless you are more beautiful than me, don't try to abduct Wangcai...... I'm still very confident in my looks!"
"Could it be that you finally gave up your last dignity as a man in order to dominate the world?"
"For everyone's sake, I had to make sacrifices!"
"Great, Miss Mia! I've been wanting a beautiful girlfriend to help me share the gaze of the opposite sex!"
“......”
――――――――――――
The corpse hound was crushed repeatedly, and nothing could resist it, not even hindering it. He's like a King Tiger tank rampaging through the streets. Interpreting the spirit of "Road Killer". Even the four undead golems could only be avoided in front of the corpse hounds.
The Naga, who was killed by it in various ways, did not rest because of this. The corpses on the surface of the corpse hound all woke up, stretched out a hand that only showed the finger bones, dragged the surrounding corpses to his side, and ate them. It is not the mouth that leads to the guò head, but the gaps between the bones, and each gap is a mouth. Swallow the corpse whole and melt it into a part of the body.
As the corpse was swallowed, the corpse hound grew in size, and even the gaps that the Naga had desperately cut out healed after eating. The increasingly powerful corpse hounds had begun to command their arms against the living Naga, with jealousy and hatred for the living, withered or swollen arms strangled the soldiers, clasped their necks, and ignored the struggle. Pull into your arms.
The crevices wriggled and engulfed the slain Naga. They waved their hands and tried to escape, but their entire bodies were locked by the huge monster, and they could only wave their hands weakly like people about to drown, and finally they were swallowed up.
"Heavy taste!" Tsukizakura shot an arrow and changed the direction of the bone's flight: "It's really heavy, it's good that it's just a novel, if it is changed to a comic, I'm afraid it will be banned directly, right?"
"That's right, it's already R-22 (under twenty-two, please amputate the optic nerve to watch), and to be honest I don't want to do that, but we can do something more serious in order to win. ”
"When the war is over, destroy it. ”
"If you don't say I'll do the same, whether it's morally or theoretically, this kind of thing can't be kept. ”
"The old immortals in the temple were going to banish you when you built the golem, and it is said that when you summoned the corpse hounds, at least ten conservative arrows were aimed at your back. ”
"If I hang up at that moment, the runaway corpse hounds will turn the whole island into hell. ”
"Do you think it was a mistake for you to make this thing?"
"No, that's the right way for me to do it. Isn't it wrong to kill with necromancy, isn't it wrong to kill with a sword? What's the difference? Isn't it all a blasphemy against life? And fundamentally, I don't feel like we have the right to take the lives of others, but if it was for me and the people I care about to live, I would do it. As for necromancy, if those corpses and souls are left alone, they will only fall into the underworld, so it is better to use them to help us tide over the difficulties. ”
"A neutral caught between good and evil?"
"I don't believe in goodness, how can there be so many brainless adventurers who are willing to run to the castle of the demon king to save his daughter for a farmer he doesn't know, and I will call 110 for them at most when this kind of thing happens. ”
"If the farmer's daughter is the finest beauty, you must have run away before he had finished speaking. ”
“...... Only before I knew you. ”
――――――――――――
The moon climbed into the clouds, and the pale light illuminated the battlefield, and the unusually bright moonlight gave the illusion that one seemed to be in the daytime, and the bright moon was as bright as the sun, and the light could no longer be seen directly.
It's like a pale sun.
"Atesha...... Muller ...... "Tsukizakura muttered a mysterious incantation, wisps of magic being pulled from the ends of her hair and converging on the nearly forgotten altar behind her.
"O primordial darkness that accompanies the moon...... No, it's original sin, please ...... you Please show your true face as if it were a show......, right? The ...... whispering under the moon"
She stammered and recited the incantation, like a schoolboy who had forgotten to write a poem the next day.
"It's not going to be a mess, is it?"
"My mother has experienced three dark moons, what do you think will happen? I can't memorize it three times at most!"
"No, the Lord Priest said that if you can't memorize the prayer of the dark moon, you have to copy it more than ten times, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat dinner. ”
"It's okay, I have protection. As she spoke, Tsukizakura pulled out a piece of parchment.
"You, you're cheating, you're cheating?"
"What's the matter, someone said that you can't follow a cheat sheet on the battlefield...... Nightmare of the dark side of the moon, your real name ......"
――――――――――――
Prayers and spells are actually similar things, but prayers are used to perform magic spells, which is to download the application form from the god server. Spells, on the other hand, are used to cast magic.
In battle. The caster class generally has to chant these things in order to cast spells. But these things are smelly and long, and although the author has modified them into strange poems, rather than meaningless syllables, which are a little easier to memorize, the slightest intonation of such a long incantation will have unpredictable consequences.
So magicians are definitely a profession with brains, and those spells that can be as long as a whole sheet of paper and as thick as an encyclopedia. I have to forcibly memorize everything in my head, and I have to turn it out and review it from time to time, which is far from being comparable to the fourth level of the college English test.
Out of the strong memorization,Another way is to memorize cheat sheets,Although the act of reading a book in battle will not be dragged out by the invigilator to punish the station,But it will strictly affect the reaction of the caster.,A little carelessness will be sneak attacked.,Or be sent to the sky by stray bullets.。
Moreover, in the ever-changing battlefield, it is time-consuming and unsafe to recite a spell on a piece of paper, and the conventional way of casting spells for mages is to recite key words to strengthen memory. Go through the full spell in your mind, and the spell will be thrown.
It varies according to individual circumstances. Except for some key words that must be pronounced, otherwise it is impossible to communicate the magic element, most people do not read the same keywords, and mages will not shout out their skills like a martial arts movie after the spell is ready.
"Eat me a 'fireball'!" is impossible for such a thing to happen.
Do you think that the mages of the other world have the same IQ as written in the little white book!
More commonly, the evil mage shouts "Meteor Rain of Fire" after preparing the ground spear stab, and when the opponent raises his shield to defend against the fire meteor that does not exist, the ground spear spike sprang out from below, and the opponent Ju exploded to death.
In short, if you want to be a spellcaster, you must study hard. This seems to be universal both on Earth and in the Atlas.
"No, I can learn those spells as soon as I learn them, and I don't need to memorize them at all, and the spells will be automatically saved in Zài's mind. ”
Comrade Wang Ming, this theory of mine is only aimed at ordinary intelligent creatures, and you are a god-level creature - the "protagonist", just press the shortcut key......
Moon Sakura also finished the last syllable when the author set the number of deceptive words, and a majestic momentum field unfolded on the altar, and I don't know who discovered it first, another moon appeared in the sky.
The black moon is particularly striking in the purple night sky.
Under the ―――――――――――― dark moon, all the Naga let out a burst of "hissing" sounds, the wounds on their bodies began to heal, a strange purple light appeared in their eyes, and some of the Nagas' sizes began to grow larger, and the originally frustrated Naga army frantically attacked the scattered defense line as if they had eaten gunpowder.
"The swordsmen retreat, the longbowmen take cover!" Tsukizakura shot a signal arrow, blasting a cloud of silver fires in the air.
The dense rain of arrows fell among the Nagas, temporarily curbing the Nagas' offensive, but under the blessing of the dark moon, the effect was not obvious, the Nagas pulled out the arrows, the wounds slowly healed, the arrows were obviously quenched with poison, but the Nagasi continued to move forward like no one.
The Naga, who had been given terrifying power by the dark moon, were constantly renovating their combat indicators, and once the Naga, who already had a numerical advantage, flattened the gap in quality, the defense line formed by the swordsmen could no longer stop them, and they had to retreat fifty meters again.
"Damn, there was a level gap before, and now the other party is in a beneficial state, how can this be fought?" Wang Ming looked at the Nagas who were approaching little by little, and said anxiously.
"It's time for us to get on and try not to get the archers close. Tsukizakura drew her dagger and rushed towards the oncoming Naga.
"Hey, hey, we're orthodox spellcasters!"
"Don't you have confidence in your hand-to-hand combat abilities?"
There was no way, Wang Ming had no choice but to rush forward with the giant sword, the earthy yellow aura of brute bull power lit up on his body, and the giant sword also looked much lighter because of this strange magical power. However, the weight of the giant sword was not offset, and the sudden increase in weight to three times made Wang Ming step out of extremely deep footprints, and his speed inevitably slowed down.
The dagger in Yueying's hand was black and shiny, engraved with gorgeous lines, and at a glance, he knew that it was not ordinary, and the tip of the dagger was slashed dozens of centimeters away from Naga, and the invisible sword qi had already broken Naga's throat.
Wang Ming was dumbfounded: "...... After the fight, be sure to ask where this dagger is sold!"
With this thought, he crossed the swordsmen who were fighting hard, the giant sword was raised high above his head, and he slashed a Naga soldier in front of him, and the giant sword without a blade cut the Naga in half, and the huge force no longer needed a blade to kill and injure the enemy, this kind of heavy weapon can only exert its maximum power without opening the blade, and it is easy to break when the blade is opened.
The sword is too heavy, Wang Ming cut this sword, his body involuntarily stiffened because of excessive force, a Naga saw Wang Ming's predicament and wanted to pick up the cheap, Wang Ming abandoned the sword and kicked him in the chest, under the combined effect of violent energy and the power of the bull, the secret strength drilled into Naga's sternum, and the heart exploded like a tomato. Picking up the sword, Wang Ming was already surrounded by a circle of Naga with a fierce face, like strange uncles blocking the helpless girl at midnight. Wang Ming mobilized the fighting qi all over his body, forming a cyclone in his lower abdomen, and his body rotated in reverse under the action of the cyclone, getting faster and faster, and the sword in his hand naturally rotated with him. Wang Ming, who was holding the giant sword, looked like the rotor of a helicopter from a distance, bringing up a gray column of air and rolling up a circle of splashes, and the group of Naga around him was twisted into pieces by the high-speed spinning giant sword.
Wang Ming didn't stop, while spinning at high speed, he moved towards the depth of the Naga army, anything that stood in his way was cut into pieces, his arms were sliced like cucumbers, his body was diced, the tail was too thick, so he had to cut it into several pieces to deal with it, as for that disgusting head, how do you usually eat watermelon?
Because Wang Ming was spinning at high speed, those splashes of blood and minced flesh were blown away by the wind around him, and he didn't get any touch on his body, on the contrary, Wang Ming's feet were an alternative artwork composed of broken corpses, Naga's unique purple blood stained the thin layer of water, and the stumps wriggled in the blood, which looked really disgusting. (To be continued......)
