Chapter 16: The Epilogue Descends
There was a rumbling sound in the alley, and the dung beetles rushed in with great momentum, even if the collision horn above the head was missing, it did not affect its fierce momentum at all.
Glancing lightly at the giant insect that was rapidly approaching in front of him, Feng Ying's expression was indifferent, this kind of powerful but slow summoned beast might have a miraculous effect against those bulky tank barbarians or weak crispy mages, but for him, a sensitive assassin, it was not worth mentioning.
From beginning to end, all he was afraid of was the claw beast that could kill the old cellar in an instant, the other party was the real trouble, and of course, the summoner who had been hiding behind the scenes.
The legs bent slightly, and at the moment when the dung beetle just approached, the shadow had jumped out lightly, and the figure happened to appear at the top of the front of the collision angle in a flash.
With a slight step of his right foot on the impact angle below, the speed of the shadow after the second borrowing soared again, easily jumping over the dung beetle that was rushing head-on, and he turned into a black shadow and pounced towards the gluttony at the head of the wall.
The piercing killing machine came head-on, the corners of the glutton's mouth cracked open to reveal Sensen's white teeth, and the stone wall under his feet was crushed by the great force, and it slaughtered with a speed that was superior to its opponent.
A man and a beast faced each other head-on in mid-air, the former with a sharp blade, the latter with fierce minions, and when the two sides were about to staggle, the black light around the shadow rose sharply, and then disappeared in an instant.
After reappearing, he had quietly moved to the back of the glutton, and the short sword in his hand quickly fell, and the blade was pointed directly at the back of the target's neck.
All vertebrate creatures, the back of the neck is an absolute weakness, as long as the cervical vertebra can be cut off, then the other party will completely lose all mobility, reduced to a pile of pathetic flesh and blood to be slaughtered.
However, the reality is often much more rugged than imagined, and the lower blade has not even touched the other party's fur, and the whistling wind is the first to come from behind him, and a black whip tail seems to have been expected, and it is aimed at the back of the head of the sealing shadow.
Before the tail of the whip arrived, the hurricane had already tore at the back of the head and the scalp was painful, leaving no doubt about the power of the volley.
Die with a summoned beast? Feng Ying didn't have the slightest idea of this, let alone the same end, he wouldn't be happy to exchange injuries for injuries, this kind of death is comparable to Tuan Zang sealing a bridge with a big move.
Decisively withdrew the short sword in his hand, and at this time it was too late to turn back and defend, and the black light around him spread rapidly, jumping and disappearing again the moment before the whip tail came to his body.
This time, he appeared in the shadow cast by the gluttonous slaughter, and without rushing closer, with the movement of his five fingers, several black lights flew out of his hand, aiming at the clawed beast's many vital points including the valley road, throat, and abdomen.
The vertical beast ears trembled slightly, and the gluttonous four legs landed on the back of the dung beetle that had already stopped charging, and then quickly turned around and slapped, and the right claw slapped so fast that it directly left an afterimage in the air like a black flame rolling, which did not disperse for a long time.
The clanging sound of metal crashing sounded one after another, and the incoming black light was slapped away one by one, falling all over the alley to reveal its true body, it was a matte diamond-shaped dart, and the blades on both sides showed a dangerous dark purple color, obviously quenched with poison.
Although the gluttonous reaction could be regarded as a lightning speed, the process of turning back to defend still took a lot of time, so he did not block all the incoming darts.
There was a sharp pain in the buttocks like sulfuric acid corrosion, it turned its head to look back, only to see that the back buttocks were diagonally inserted into the flesh of a dart nearly half of the flesh, the dart was only a few breaths, but the hair around the dart was dry and fell, the flesh turned purple and rotten, and there was a faint stench that began to spread.
The poison on the dart is far beyond imagination, just by turning its head, it feels that its entire hind legs have become paralyzed and weak, without the slightest hesitation, the gluttonous sharp teeth are wide open, and at the same time, the neck is suddenly stretched out like a python, with a 'click' of sharp teeth closed, the dart on the back of the hip and the surrounding large pieces of flesh and blood are directly devoured by it.
In the alley, Feng Ying frowned slightly, and his steps just about to take the opportunity to attack suddenly stopped, and he could see very clearly that after the flesh and blood of the alien beast was bitten off alive, the injured position was not a normal blood splatter, but a strange sawdust, as if the other party's entire body was not composed of flesh and blood, but a wooden puppet.
What the hell is this?
Feng Ying's face was slightly gloomy, this guy was by no means a normal summoned beast, if the other party's whole body could be turned into wood, it meant that the conventional vital attack should not be of much use to this strange beast, he looked at the huge body that was one size bigger than him, and then looked at the deep short sword in his hand about half a meter.
ββ¦β¦β
Just thinking about it for a while, he gave up his plan to continue fighting, and the black light flashed, and he disappeared directly in place.
That's right, he's going to run away, and his previous proposal to spend money to buy his life failed to attract the secret summoner, and now that he finds that the two alien beasts on the opposite side can't be killed in a short time, then he naturally doesn't plan to continue to entangle.
On the other side, the gluttonous who had physically solved the poisoning problem quickly returned to his body, but as far as he could see, the alley in front of him had already lost the trace of the seal.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in the beast's eyes, and it looked coldly at the large shadows in the depths of the alley, its dark fur squirming for a while, and at the same time its throat rose and fell, and its sharp teeth were wide open.
"Roar!!"
The roar continued to echo in the alley, as if the sound wave of substance was surging outward, and wherever it was reached, the shadows that should be invisible around them began to boil and shake like water under the impact of the sound waves, and in the next second, a figure was forcibly squeezed out of the shaking shadows.
The figure landed, staggered a few steps and quickly stood up, he raised his eyes to look at the clawed beast not far away that was still in a condescending posture, his expression was a little surprised.
"Shadow Manipulation?!"
As soon as the words fell, several screams suddenly came from behind, and now the surrounding shadows were in a state of restlessness, so Feng Ying did not jump and dodge, but immediately turned sideways, only to see four sharp black and white spears attacking through the air.
The short sword in his hand waved, and in an instant, the sword light was vertical and horizontal, and all the spears that came to attack were shattered, and the fragments of the disintegrating spears hit the wall on his side, exploding clouds of smoke and dust.
Feng Ying looked up in the direction of the attack, and in the distance, a porcupine magnified many times came into view, and on the side of the porcupine, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo.
'I see you! β
Almost the same thought appeared in the minds of the two of them at the same time, the four eyes were facing each other, and as soon as Feng Ying's eyes flashed with murderous intent, the gaze of the gaze instantly collapsed, and a beautiful female shadow suddenly occupied all the field of vision.
"Not good!"
[The contractor is affected by the 'Demon Capture', and will be judged by both charm and will.] γ
[Will Determination...... Determined successfully, you are immune to psychic capture. γ
γCharm Judgment...... If you fail, you will fall into a state of mind confusion for 2 seconds, during which time the mind and body will be forcibly disconnected. γ
[Note: While the 'Ring of Resistance' is active, the duration of the debuff will be reduced by 50%, and the duration of the Mind Confusion will be reduced to 1 second.] γ
[Hint: When the contractor is detected to be in an abnormal state, the 'Ring of Guardian' will take effect passively, and will generate a physical shield outside the body on its own.] γ
A series of paradise prompts rang in his ears, but unfortunately the entire mind was occupied by the woman's shadow, and the shadow did not react to it.
Soon, a second passed in a flash, and when his dilated pupils froze again, the vicious wind was blowing in the right rear, and the pale white shield on the surface of his body had disintegrated into countless fragments scattered under the bite of the sharp teeth.
And in the center of this scattered fragment, a large black hole with a vicious mouth was enveloping his head and face, and the distance between the two sides was so close that he could even clearly smell the pungent smell of the pungent wind that kept pouring into his nose.
'Damn! β
Lao Jiao's headless corpse lying in a pool of blood flashed quickly in his heart, the pupils of the sealing shadow shrank suddenly, and the right hand that held the short sword was aimed at the big mouth of the black hole in front of him at the fastest speed in his life, and at the same time, his body leaned back violently.
At this distance, it is impossible to completely avoid a simple dodge, and he can only bet that the brain is still the key point of this strange summoned beast, so before the opponent closes his jaws, he can take the lead in using a short sword to pierce the upper jaw and shatter the brain, so as to directly kill the opponent.
So, as if throwing himself into a net, Feng Ying's right hand stabbed straight into the gluttonous mouth with a sword blade that flickered with cold light, but as the distance deepened, his complexion became more and more ugly, and the right hand that penetrated into the mouth did not feel any tactile blockage, as if he had penetrated into an empty black hole, not the mouth of a certain creature.
"Click!"
The next moment, the glutton's sharp teeth were intertwined, and the crisp sound was mixed with the muffled snort of the sealing shadow, and in an instant, blood splattered, and his entire forearm was broken at the elbow.
Obviously, he lost the bet, and there seemed to be a black hole in the other party's mouth, which directly blocked the way to the brain through the mouth, but strictly speaking, the sealing shadow was not a loss, and after a short pause when the gluttonous teeth were closed, he also took the opportunity to jump back and quickly widen the distance between him and the other party.
Although he lost a hand, he managed to avoid this long-planned death raid.
A large amount of dull blood gurgled down from the section of the elbow, and soon formed a small pool of blood at his feet, and the corners of his eyes twitched when he was temporarily out of crisis, and his cruel gaze swept over the gluttony in his mouth on the left and right sides and Ah Fu who was flooded with red light in his eyes, and then glanced at several armed fighters faintly visible in the sky, and then said in a deep voice:
"I remember your name was Alfred, right, good, I remember you!"
As the words fell, a quaint scroll quietly appeared in his hand and was directly crushed, and at the moment when the scroll shattered, the shadow also turned into a little starlight and collapsed without a trace.
In the alley, gluttonous watched with great interest the prey disappearing in front of his eyes, on the one hand, this kind of spatial teleportation prop is difficult to interrupt, there is no need to waste effort, on the other hand, it likes the process of chasing the prey very much, as long as the other party is still within the range of Cairo, it can't escape its pursuit, and the more intense the flesh and blood, the more delicious the Q bomb.
Swallowing the last bite of flesh, it let out a low roar at Ah Fu not far away, and then melted into the shadows and disappeared.
In the alley, Ah Fu retracted the porcupine puppet on his side, slowly paced to the headless corpse of the old cellar, leaned over and picked up the scarlet card in the pool of blood, and after doing all this, he turned the dung beetle lying on his stomach back into a puppet and put it away, and then turned to leave.
The escaped Shadow has his own gluttony to hunt and kill, and he has to rush to other battlefields, and the chaos in the city should come to an end.
β¦β¦β¦
In the sky above Cairo, when the siege in the alleys has ended, the fight between one man and one dragon in the sky is still in full swing.
"Roar!"
The violent dragon roar was mixed with the blazing dragon flame spewing out, but as soon as it gushed out, a huge Fang Tian painting halberd had already slammed into the black dragon's jaw from the bottom up, causing it to swallow the remaining dragon flame back alive.
Under the heavy blow, the dragon scales that could not be broken by the storm of depleted uranium shells were immediately torn apart, and the violent roar turned into a mournful whimper, and the black dragon was violently whipped away by the halberd in the void.
After turning its head a few times in embarrassment, it regained its shape, shook its slightly dizzy head casually, and then roared again, flapping its wide dragon wings and rushing towards Xu Yue, and then it was further pumped away.
High in the sky, Xu Yue looked at the black dragon below with some helplessness, as the battle continued, the erosion gradually deepened, it began to get closer and closer to a brainless beast, although the attributes are constantly improving, the reaction is more and more sensitive, but the attack is more and more unruly, the attack intention and attack route are very easy to predict.
So a strange scene appeared, the black dragon's deterrence continued to improve, but Xu Yue responded more and more easily, often the opponent's culling action had just appeared, he could predict the accurate route and dodge and counterattack in advance, it looked like the black dragon took the initiative to hit his halberd and was whipped in turn.
And the only problem now is that the opponent's defense is inevitably too hard, and as a dragon with spitting dragon flame as the main means of attack, its flame resistance is directly full.
Therefore, whether it was Fang Tian's painting halberd whipping or pure yang flame incineration, it would not have much effect on the black dragon with rough skin and thick flesh, and the damage caused would automatically recover after a few minutes.
As for attacking the eyes, the backyard, and the defects in the chest, he didn't try it during the battle, but the black dragon's reaction was very sensitive, and he was also extremely vigilant against the vital points of the body, and after several attempts, it still failed to work.
So far, delaying time has become the most effective way to deal with the black dragon, and the energy consumption of the black dragon does not come out of thin air, but comes from the contractor who is wrapped in the dragon's body.
Don't look at the current black dragon is violent, but it is just a fire cooking oil, flowers and brocade, it does not last long, when the energy of the internal contractor is exhausted, it will die instantly.
The fierce wind howled, and the metal wings behind Xu Yue flashed vigorously, and he easily avoided the black dragon claw grabbed in front of him, and at the same time, the giant Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, which was magnified several times, slammed it diagonally downward, and the end of the halberd wrapped around the raging flames just hit the other claw that was caught fiercely.
The two collided, and a wave of qi spread outward from the place of the exchange, and the dragon claws that had been whipped to the point of flesh retracted, and Xu Yue, who was slightly less powerful, was also thrown backwards under the huge force.
In a head-on confrontation, his strength is indeed inferior to that of the black dragon, but the advantage in weapons makes up for this defect very well.
The body couldn't help but retreat in the air, and after the strength was almost poured, the golden red flames behind Xu Yue surged, and he used the force of recoil to stabilize his body in an instant, and quickly raised his eyes to look up, only to see that a dragon tail like a giant pillar was smashing in front of him.
'Good opportunity! β
Seeing this, Xu Yue was not surprised, he retracted the halberd in his right hand, his left arm was raised horizontally, and a large amount of silver solution gushed out, forming a three-meter tower shield full of negative Yue inscriptions in front of his left arm, of course, at this height, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a metal high wall.
The tower shield was formed, and he did not wait for the dragon's tail to smash on the spot, but flapped his wings and aimed at the dragon's tail in front of him and launched a fierce charge.
The distance between the two quickly approached each other, black scales erected on the dragon's tail, and above the tower shield was a mountain phantom that appeared out of thin air.
"Boom !!"
The violent roar of the impact restrained the clouds, and the dragon's tail collided head-on with the mountain in the center of the scattered clouds, and for a moment there was a stalemate.
