Chapter 116: Reinforcements
"Be careful!" Brestous had barely finished speaking, when Frey suddenly shouted, "There's something underground nearby...... It's coming out!"
"Underground?" Riel froze, "Granter? But this tail ......"
Before Riel could finish his sentence, he heard several dull earth-breaking sounds, and several blood-red eyes appeared just a few meters away from him......
"This is ......" Riel could see what it was by the flickering light of the fire, and couldn't help but gasp...... These are a few small magic eyes that are similar to human sizes, and they all look exactly the same as the magic eyes except for the difference in size......
And what pierced Cynthia's body was the tail of one of the little magic eyes.
"Hmph...... I wanted to kill the glowing kid first, but I didn't expect someone to be willing to die for him......" The voice of Brestu came out of the bodies of these little demon eyes at the same time, making the atmosphere seem a little weird.
Only then did Riel realize that Cynthia could see at a glance that those attacks were aimed at Allen, but because she didn't have time to use too advanced defensive magic, she had to block the tail's attack path...... Dragging her already exhausted body.
"Woo......" Cynthia suddenly let out a groan of pain.
When Riel looked closely, he realized that it was the little devil eye who wanted to pull the tail out, and Cynthia clung to it to prevent the wound from expanding further. Riel rushed forward with a lunge and slashed it with a sword.
The little devil's eye was pained, and he let out a terrifying scream and jumped to the side. The others, on the other hand, were aroused by the desire to fight, and they all flicked their tails and stabbed at Allen.
Riel stood in front of Eren with the bladeless sword, slashing left and right to flick or slash off the sharp tails one by one.
"Hmph...... Fools always like to make some senseless resistance. As the ground trembled, a huge black shadow suddenly slowly gathered from the place where the Demon Eye had disappeared just now, and at the same time, the quicksand on the ground began to gradually disappear.
Not only is the MONOCULUS unharmed, but even the wounds on his body seem to have healed......
Rare was surprised, only to hear a "poof" sound coming from behind...... Frey also fell to his knees.
"Are you alright?" Seeing that Frey's leg was bleeding profusely, Riel quickly asked.
It turned out that the attack of these little demon eyes just now was not only aimed at Allen, but also wanted to kill them all. Frey was stabbed in the thigh by one of his tails because he didn't have time to defend and dodge.
"Leave me alone, it's just some trauma...... You must protect him!" Frey's face turned pale from the pain, but he could only grit his teeth and persist for Alan's sake.
Riel tries to help him and Cynthia heal, but finds it impossible...... These little demon eyes are getting closer and closer, and they may attack at any time, and even a moment's negligence and slackness could kill him......
"Good!" Rare gritted his teeth and yelled, "You just have to protect yourself, and I'll take care of the rest!"
He also clearly realized that he was the only person who could protect Eren at the moment...... And it's time for him to step up!
After a little thought, Riel decided to take the initiative, otherwise if these little magic eyes attacked at the same time later, let alone protect Eren, he might not even be able to care about himself. Thinking of this, he quickly confirmed their location and quickly chanted the incantation.
"Drink!"
He first used Starlight Flicker to go around behind one of the Little Demon Eyes, piercing its heart with a sword, and then taking advantage of the fact that the other eyes were attracted to it, he used Starlight Flicker to go around the dead corners of their field of vision, and slashed off their heads with a sword swing......
"Puff, puff......" These little magic eyes fell to the ground one after another.
The whole process was so smooth that from the starlight flash, to the sword drawing and slashing, to the next target, and repeating the process in one go, even Riel himself froze in place for several seconds after performing this series of moves, and he actually had such skills......
"Well done!" Frey cheered him on. This also added a lot of confidence to him, he has always felt a little powerless to do anything, thinking that his ability is really limited compared to the three of them Allen, and it is only now that he has found that he can still play a big role at critical moments.
Riel breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to Cynthia's side to help her heal.
Cynthia had been lying in a pool of blood for too long...... The little spiritual power left in her body didn't help her heal completely, but only stopped the bleeding.
But before he could make a move, what happened in front of him made him break out in a cold sweat......
I saw that not only the little demon eye whose heart had been pierced quickly stood up again, but even the heads that he had cut off gradually connected with his body through a few inconspicuous black lines on the ground......
"This ......" Seeing them stand up one after another, Riel was too shocked to speak, so he hurriedly re-put on the stance.
He no longer controlled the release of magic power, gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands to extend the blade to the maximum, and then took advantage of the fact that the bodies of these little demon eyes had not fully recovered, and swung the sword vigorously from left to right......
After a few more "poofs", the bodies of these little demon eyes were cut into two pieces of different sizes by Riel.
But it still didn't work...... The little demon eye was split in two, and the body seemed to have eyes, and as soon as it landed, it approached each other again, and then slowly connected together......
"Isn't this unkillable...... "Rare panicked instantly.
This ability to resemble resurrection from the dead really left him helpless......
But that's not the worst of it...... After careful observation, he found that as the size of the Demon Eye body gradually decreased, it seemed that more and more red eyes began to appear quietly on the battlefield, densely ......
"It's in ...... Split?" Riel couldn't help but feel a little frightened...... This number of little devil eyes is much more terrifying than werewolves......
He slowly retreated to Alan's side, trying to take him away. Even if Cynthia and Frey can't be saved, even if his parents are still uncertain, at least this last hope must be preserved......
But Bereto's voice rang out again: "Don't tremble, boy......"
Burresto's tone was full of mockery, causing Riel to stop trying to grab Eren's shoulder.
"Wasn't you quite energetic just now, why do you look like you want to run away now?"
When Rare heard this, he completely dismissed the idea of escaping......
"Even if I die here, I won't escape!" Burrestu's words completely aroused Ryel's fighting spirit, and it also made him suddenly remember that even if he escaped with Alan, all those who stayed here would be killed by the MONOCULUS, so what was the point of surviving even if they survived......
It wasn't just Alan that he needed to protect, but everyone threatened by the MONOCULUS.
Rare clenched the sword in his hand and stood facing the vast array of red eyes, his heart stirring...... He knew very well in his heart that in the face of so many monsters that could not be killed, his chances of victory were infinitely close to zero, and he might not even be able to delay time...... This may really be the last battle of his life.
"I didn't expect to die a tragic death, like a real hero......" Rare couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's just a pity that no one can remember our names......"
However, just as he was desperate, he heard a loud bang, and a space-time crack suddenly opened above their heads, and a group of huge black shadows flew out of it one after another......
"Dragon...... Dragons?" Ryel was a little unsteady on his feet by a strong wind, and he looked and looked again and again before he dared to determine what these black things were.
"This fellow, have you forgotten all of the king's words?" Ashley Hill's voice came from above the dragon's head, "why didn't you ask the king for help?"
