142: Energy Flow Burst
"Yuna, tell Captain Ryan to come to support quickly." Noren watched from the sky as the Gaia Worms fought against Alto City's forces.
"I think we seized the perfect moment."
"Roger." Yuna re-docked with the new flight component in the air, turning her head and flying towards the gate.
At this time, under the command of Ogon, the Alto City army quickly lined up the array.
The knights wield their bows and arrows, the mages chant spells, and the rest of the soldiers set up their crossbows.
Then, a rain of arrows mixed with colorful spells, and a huge volley of arrows rushed towards the Gaia worm.
"Woo-"
The body of the Gaia worm slapped the ground, and with a "boom" sound, the rock wall of the Dao rose like a rock wave.
The rock wall blocked most ranged attacks, but there were still a few high-level spells and crossbow bolts that broke through the defenses and blasted up the dust behind the rock wall.
By the time the smoke cleared, all that remained was a deep pit on the ground, and the Gaia worm was nowhere to be seen.
"Deserted?"
Aogn felt the violent vibration from far and near from the ground, and his face changed: "Disperse quickly, the attack is coming!" โ
But Alto City's troops are thousands of people gathered together, how can they disperse so quickly?
"Knock-"
"Knock-"
At the same time, the earth shook violently, much more so than the earthquake that Rivi had just caused.
At the center of the earthquake, the Alto City troops were lying on their stomachs, and it was difficult to even maintain their balance.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the Gaia worm burst out from beneath the forces of Alto City.
It opens its abyssal jaws, like cetaceans freeing up water to hunt seabirds, and stuffs the humans on the ground into its mouth, along with rocky clods.
Then, its huge body fell to the ground, and it fluttered its hundred-meter-long torso, sweeping back and forth.
"Ahhh
Screams came and went, and in the face of the absolute size difference, these Alto City soldiers had no ability to resist and were thrown and crushed by the Gaia worms.
The defensive formation of Alto City's troops was easily broken through.
Reaching the eighth-order transcendent level, if there is no comparable strength to contend with, the crowd tactics are a joke.
And in the midst of the soldiers' hasty flight, Ognang finally struck.
He first hid in the crowd, then grabbed the blind spot of the Gaia worm and leaped to its back.
Sensing the danger, the Gaia worm repeated its trick, and the silvery-white scales on its body suddenly stood up with spikes.
However, Ogion's reaction was quicker, and he drew his knight's sword and used the skill "Ember Slash".
With a swing of the sword, a circle of gray shadows rippled along the trajectory of his sword, severing all the thorns around him that were stabbing at him.
Then, the thorns affected by the gray shadow began to gray and dull from the section and quickly spread to the entire scale.
Ember Slash is his famous skill, which causes wounds caused by attacks to heal and control themselves.
Under its effect, the silver-gray scales that were hit began to necrosh, and could no longer freely transform into a spike form.
This move did damage to the Gaia worm, and Augnon had the bottom, he grabbed the knight's sword and stabbed it at his feet, and then pulled it hard.
"Whew-"
Under the power of the eighth order, the silver-gray scales under his feet were actually lifted by his entire piece of flesh and blood!
The gray aura of corruption seeped through the blade and into the wound, and the Gaia worm struggled violently.
The sound of "crunching" sounded on the surface of its body, and the silver-gray scales around its body began to shrink more tightly, and its body length quickly shrank from about 100 meters to about 40 meters.
Wanting to repeat his old trick, Ogion continued to pry open the scales to amplify its injuries.
But this time, the knight's blade struck with the silver-gray scales, and the resistance from it was much greater than before, and the tip of the sword barely sank into an inch and a half before it could not continue deeper.
After actively reducing its size, its defense has been considerably strengthened.
Not only that, but only listening to the angry hiss of the Gaia worm, the original silver-gray scales actually began to show a translucent bright red!
"It's ......," Ogion's face changed.
He could feel the magic of the worms under his feet and the reaction was rapidly getting stronger!
The bright red color is nothing else, it is the embodiment of the magic power compressed to the extreme!
"The concentration of mana in the Gaia worm's body is rising!"
Even Nolan in the sky noticed something unusual, and it was too obvious for a transcendent who could sense magic.
It was as if a burning stove had been lit in a cold room, and the flames inside were so strong that they were about to burst out of the furnace and set the whole room on fire!
At the same time, the book of omniscience began to turn:
"The eighth-order special spell "Energy Flow Burst" has been recorded.
Knowledge +260.
Effect: Fully activate the mana core, form a mana amplification force field, increase the level of mana output, and all spells and combat skills cast with mana during the duration will be strengthened.
Materials Required:
1. The core of the Gaia worm.
2. The energy flow conduction filaments of the Gaia worm. โ
Sure enough, it's a special spell! Nolan's eyes lit up.
As a high-level magical beast, similar to the Xiahui Dragon, the Gaia Worm also has its own tricks.
It is active underground all year round, feeding on the abundant leyline energy, and over time, the magic power accumulated in its body is even larger and purer than that of ordinary eighth-order demonic beasts.
And "Energy Burst Burst" will allow its mana output to increase again, bursting out with more power than ever before!
"What the hell is this......" Ognon crouched on top of the Gaia worm so as not to be thrown out.
Although he didn't know what happened to the Gaia worm, he knew that he must not give up the advantage he had just fought so hard to at this time.
Because you can't outrun the Gaia worm that can escape, if you want to survive, you must cause enough damage to it to fight it back.
The injuries inflicted by the Ember Slash still haven't healed, which may be the only breakthrough for him to defeat the Gaia Worm.
"Humโ"
The next moment, even the surface of the earth appeared a hazy red, and under the spell of the Gaia worm, a sudden gravitational wave enveloped Augeron's body.
Ogion only felt like the mountain was overpowering, and his whole body suddenly became extremely heavy.
He fell to his knees on one knee and gritted his teeth to fight against it.
The coercion of the Eighth-Order Knight is the prototype of the "Domain", and when it is unleashed, it can not only reduce or even avoid the influence of the surrounding environment on oneself, but also cause both mental and physical pressure on the enemy.
is also an eighth-order transcendent, and it stands to reason that the coercion he unfolds should be enough to offset the negative impact of the same level restriction spells on him.
However, under the increase of the "Energy Flow Burst", every spell cast by the Gaia Worm at this time reached the power of the transcendent level, which was not something that could be easily offset by the coercion of the eighth-order knight.
Then, countless reddish-glowing stones floated up and shot at Augnon together.
Bound by the gravitational waves, he was pinned to the back of the Gaia worm and could not maneuver, and could only watch as the overwhelming rocks came at him.
"How could I die here, I almost succeeded!"
Aroused by his blood, Ogion simply gave up his dodge, and the corrupt gray shadow wrapped around his sword once again, stabbing it again at the wound on Gaia's worm's back.
"Poofโ"
The blade of the sword sank into the wound, and at the same time, the overwhelming stone buried him in it.
"Boom!"
A violent wave of magic power came from Ogion's body, shaking all the stones apart.
His eyes were bloodshot, his armor was sunken in many places, and his expression was as hideous as a ghost, and he continued to stab the wound on the back of the worm with a sword.
At this point, the two sides have become a state of exchanging injuries for injuries.
But obviously, the sheer Gaia worm has even more vitality.
Another wave of impenetrable stone rain came in, and at the same time, the gravity wave that had been downward suddenly tilted to the side.
Two waves of stone rain amplified by the "Energy Burst" shot Ogon's armor to pieces, and he could no longer stabilize his center of gravity, and flew upside down from the Gaia worm's body.
The next moment, the ground beneath his feet pierced with sharp ground thorns.
Ogong barely raised his sword to resist, but under the increase of the "Energy Flow Burst", the hardness of these red-glowing ground thorns increased again, and they could no longer be easily cut by him.
"Whew-"
"Whew-"
"Whew-"
More spikes swarmed out of the ground, stabbing straight into Ognon in mid-air.
Unable to borrow his strength, this was already an unsolvable dead end, and Augnon widened his eyes and stabbed through the shattered armor several times, stabbing him through the heart.
"Woo-"
The condition of the Gaia worm is actually not good, after being stabbed by the "Ember Slash" in a row, the rotten breath has spread to half of the back, and orange-red magma-like blood gushes out from the wound.
But the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and a monster of this size could withstand such damage, while the human eighth-order transcendent was not so resistant to beating.
It sprang to its feet, opened its bloody jaw, and bit down on the body of Augeron, who was already on the verge of death as he was strung in mid-air by the ground thorns.
Suddenly, there was a faint glow in the sky.
Just when the duel between man and beast was about to be decided, Noren, who had been watching from the sidelines, made a move.
Ogeron's soul body was weakening and he was one step away from death, so he set his sights on the Gaia Worm.
The Gaia Worm that entered the state of "Energy Flow Burst" also made him fearful, and if he didn't take this opportunity to weaken its combat power, it would be much more troublesome to deal with it later.
"Boom!"
Gungnir's cannon roared, and the spikes burst out of their disembowels and shot straight at the wound in Gaia's back.
However, at a distance of 100 meters from the Gaia Worm, due to the influence of the gravitational field, its flight trajectory shifted slightly, and it only hit the silver-gray scales next to the wound.
Fortunately, the scales in this part were injured by the "Ember Slash", and the defense was greatly reduced, and the steel nail successfully penetrated it and sank into the back of the Gaia worm.
Hit by a steel spike, the Gaia worm's body visibly stiffened for a moment.
A puddle of blood erupted from the wound from the bullet and fell to the ground with a flutter.
The red light on its body also dissipated at this moment, forcibly exiting the "Energy Flow Burst" state.
"Woo-"
The Gaia worm wriggled on the ground, its head up to the sky and hissed menacingly.
"Can you still move after being hit by a steel spike?"
Noren stepped back incognito, secretly surprised.
At the beginning, even the Xiahui Dragon couldn't withstand Ganganir's sniping, but the Gaia Worm was able to take several attacks from the Eighth-Order Knight and then eat the next steel spike, and its vitality was tenacious.
However, as long as you can do real damage, sooner or later there will be a day of exhaustion.
After being hit by a steel nail, the Gaia Worm was also greatly injured and moved much slower.
At the same time, it suddenly sensed that another powerful aura was approaching it, and it no longer hesitated, squirming and escaping into the ground.
"Captain Ryan's support has arrived." On the other side, Yuna arrived with reinforcements.
Because the road was blocked, Ryan and the elite of the Knights had to abandon their horses and walk on foot, arriving a little later.
"It's the right time."
After being ravaged by the Gaia worm, the Alto City army died and fled, and almost lost the ability to resist.
"Tell them to clean up the battlefield, and I'll go see how the Flamel convoy is doing."
"Well, I'm with you."
Noren and Yuna fell towards the direction of Flamell's convoy, and Ryan looked at their backs, then at the messy battlefield in front of him, and sighed:
"The battle is over, and it looks like we're one step too late."
So saying, he stepped forward and came to Ogeron:
"It's ironic, it's better to die in a duel with me than to be killed by a demon beast after using such a depraved method."
Ognon was wounded all over, he was pierced through the chest by the ground, knowing that his time was short, coughed up a mouthful of black blood and said in a hoarse voice:
"Huh...... This time it's just your luck.
"Alto City has no choice, maybe no matter what, it can't escape the fate of defeat, where to die is not death?
"Just struggle, see if good luck can always favor you, maybe our today is your tomorrow, hahaha......"
"You don't have to worry about it." Ryan slashed his head with a sword.
Good luck? Maybe there is.
But Linfeng City has not relied on pure luck to get to the present.
If you have seen Noren's alchemy invention with your own eyes and visited the alchemy factory of the military department, Augnon will naturally understand that the current Linfeng City and Alto City are no longer the same level of power.
"The Knights obey orders!"
He turned his head and shouted to the elite behind him, "Pursue the remaining Alto City troops, and kill those who don't surrender!" โ
"Yes!"
The main general is dead, and the troops of Alto City have left their baggage on the ground and scurried.
Noren soon found the captured Flamel convoy and landed with Yuna.
Opening the carriage on the side, Flamel's researchers were tied together, and although they looked terrified, they didn't look bad.
"Sorry to frighten you."
Noren untied their shackles and said, "You are in the territory of Peak City, and we will guarantee your personal safety. โ
