Previously, Barn directly called the second spine "Rotus's palace", probably thinking that after Lotus regained his strength, his lair naturally became a palace.

However, whether it is a palace or a lair, now Lotus is not facing a few adventurers, but adventurers and the imperial alliance!

I'm confident that this time, I won't fail!

We walked past the familiar*, and from time to time there were some small pieces of aquatic plants and small fish floating around.

Countless bubbles poured up from below, and the surrounding area was also a deep ocean blue, and there was no distance in sight.

In the ruins that preceded us, we saw the figure of Lotus.

I saw him lying in the deepest part of his second spine, his huge head and huge one-eyed eyes aimed at us, and his fangs were terrifying!

"Stupid human!"

His voice was sharper than before, and his speech echoed in the water!

"Who do you think you're facing?

"Oh, what a breath!" Barn stepped forward, "Do you think I'm afraid of you because you're an apostle?

Lotus "Huh?", then laughed and shouted, "When Shylock was transferred to a ghost place like the Cave of Sorrows, her power was completely unable to exert herself, so she would be killed by people like you! Now, I have the best advantage, and you have no chance of winning! Are the imps so incompetent now?"

"Don't pretend!" I snorted, "How long has it been since you controlled the Celestial Veil Behemoth into the water?

"It's you!" Lotus was furious when he heard this, "I didn't expect that I used mind control to kill people with a knife, but you actually survived!"

He said to Barn: "You are all being used and you don't know it! This person, but Herder sent you, she uses you as pawns!"

"What nonsense!" I argued, "it was you who made a cocoon of yourself and brought about the murder of yourself! If you hadn't tried to forcibly control the followers of the GBL Sect with violence, and tried to kill people, you wouldn't have been in the situation you are in today!"

"Shut up! With you fanning the flames, no matter what I do, it will be the same result! I didn't want to kill you all, but since you're still alive, I'm afraid this battle will be fought on both sides——————————!!"

I saw a long howl! I saw that around the palace, several thick tentacles of two people hugging each other stretched out, surrounding the whole place!!

Then, with a sudden squeeze, the entire palace was separated from the back of the Heavenly Veil Giant Beast and floated in the water more than ten meters above!

"This is where you are buried!"

After that, a tentacle behind us quickly approached, poking directly into the crowd, and as soon as it swept, a bunch of people were knocked down!

"Oh no! everyone be careful!" Barn drew his dagger, "Deal with the tentacles!"

However, Rotes's tentacles are indestructible! Even if the Imperial army resists with a shield, it still can't resist the whipping, and some of the Imperial troops are directly photographed outside the palace and fall below!

"Stygian Slash!" Danio wanted to hit Rotus directly on the head, but this tentacle was too annoying, so he had to take out his own shot, take out the Stygian Flame Twin Blades, and look at the tentacle!

After being slashed three times in a row by the Stygian Flame, this tentacle was broken in half and half retracted!

"Set up your position, don't let the tentacles come in again!" Barn commanded, and the Imperial Army raised their guns and shields to defend against the remaining tentacles!

We are with the Imperial Army, fending off the whipping of the tentacles!

In close combat, Danio, Thorde, Laurent, and Charlotte followed the Imperial forces in front of them, while I attacked the tentacles with Jack bombs in the middle of the line.

Lotus's tentacles tried to attack from above again and again, however, Logan's Ice Spirit Bow and Arrow were like a fish in water in the environment of the sky and sea, and its power increased greatly, piercing many tentacles with one arrow at a time!

Amy, who has the longest range in the center of the battlefield, takes out a Grimm machine gun and anti-tank gun from time to time to support and cover everyone!

However, the legendary "One Who Can Make a Thousand Weapons" is really worthy of its name, even though his tentacles have been repelled again and again, and one by one they have been cut off, but they continue to emerge again, and even the tentacles that were cut off before are not visible, making people feel that its body has been recovering rapidly!

The well-trained Imperial Army, with shields on top of the front row, directly resists the tentacles, and the back row takes the opportunity to attack with spears, but those tentacles are much harder than they look, and they rarely stab blood!

But even if they resisted in a defensive formation, some tentacles still broke through the defenses, shooting some Imperial troops into the air or even swept away. Suddenly, the people's hearts were panicked, the imperial army's fighting spirit dropped, and more people were knocked down!

In this way, I'm afraid that it will be us and the Imperial Army who will be drained of physical strength first!

"Damn! I can't imagine that this Lotus is really strong, one person can fight against a knight order!" Barn realized the urgency of the situation, "Adventurers, you must defeat Lotus immediately!"

In other words, he told us to break into Lotus's head and kill him!

"Let's go!" Thorde, who had been knocked unconscious before, was now alive again, and he once again ran straight to Lotus's head!

"You ......"

I tried to stop it, but Danio interrupted me and whispered to me, "We trust them, watch behind them!"

After saying that, he also followed. I hesitated, then followed Denio suspiciously.

As Danio said, Lotus noticed that we were walking towards him, and quickly manipulated the new tentacles to attack the front three from both sides!

"Carlo of the Flame!"

"Jack Bomb!"

Danio and I hit the two tentacles with a ranged attack, slowing them down by half a beat, and Thorde and the others successfully passed through the first line of defense!

But those two tentacles were just in front of me and Danio, so we couldn't see what was going on in front of us again!

Syllable!

Immediately after, another tentacle stood behind us!

"Damn! He's deliberately separating us!" I looked ahead and backward, not daring to move, not knowing what to do.

"Don't panic!" Danio said, pointing ahead, "As long as you keep attacking, you can interrupt these tentacles!"

I saw Danio slash out with a ghost blow, and a purple wound appeared on the tentacle in front of him!

"Then you're welcome!ahhh

This time, the Flame Impact Circle I set was just below these two tentacles, and I only heard a "bang", and the two tentacles were blown off together!

"Look at the move!"

Just as Danio and I were about to get through the broken tentacles, three people rushed over from there!

It's Charlotte them!

However, as soon as they meet us, they attack!

"What!......" I was surprised when Thorde flew up!

I was kicked straight out and hit the tentacle behind Lotus before I landed!

Charlotte retracted her sword from afar and wanted to use the "Instant Shadow Triple" on me!

"Nicole!" Danio was about to come to his aid, but was dragged by Laurent, and had to shout, "Be careful!"

"Flash!"

"Stand-in straw man!"

I had already prepared to take my place with a scarecrow and teleported a few meters to the side!

And Thorde is coming at me again, blocked by me with an ice wall!

He punched the ice wall, retracted his hand and shook it, and said, "This believer is quite powerful!"

Believer?

Looking at Laurent's side again, he kept using the Cloud Trick to trick Danio's flaws, but Danio's ghost steps also made him unable to attack. However, Danio also tentatively asked him, "What's wrong with you?

"There is actually a hidden master among the followers of the GBL Sect! Got it!" Laurent, like Told, recognized Danio as a "GBL Sect believer", and at the same time put on a new posture, ready to fight again!

"Oh no, they've fallen for illusion!" Danio shouted to me, "Don't be heavy!"

I know that.

The wall of ice crumbled after Told's knee, and I was ready to strike it back!

But then, Charlotte was also about to kill, and I had to pull out my short sword to parry!

Charlotte's offensive is nothing compared to Rainey, she struck with a sword, although I blocked it, my body was completely provoked, and I knelt on the ground in a circle!

"Shadow Slash!"

"Wind and Half Moon Slash!"

I knew I couldn't block this blow, so I had to fight hard and use the same moves as my opponent!

However, Charlotte turned slightly sideways and dodged my attack, and the sword slashed into my waist!

"Uh......" The pain made me pause, and at this time Thorde was here!

"Flame Chain Kick!!"

Oh no! I'm going to die!

Suddenly, a short figure teleported out in front of me, raising the ice shield to block the chain of kicks!

It's Logan!

"What's going on?" Logan asked, pulling out his Ice Spirit Sword and forcing Thorde back!

"They've fallen under illusion and think we're GBL cultists!" I took the opportunity to turn around and face Charlotte back to back with Logan.

Charlotte smiled: "And helpers, if the GBL Sect believers are such powerful characters, then the miscellaneous things we encountered before will also reduce the average combat power too much!"

Hearing Charlotte's words, Rogan certainly understood. At this moment, Danio from there also ran to us! We were back to back, face outward, each facing our own enemy!

"Logan, you're here! I've got a way!" Danio said to Rogan as he looked at Charlotte and the others.

"What?" I was startled, "what way?"

"We can't hurt them, but we can restrain them with freezing magic!"

It just so happens that we all use ice. However, these three people won't be easily recruited, right?

"How?" asked Logan, who probably didn't think it would be easy.

"Break it all!"
