“Are these the knights?”
Hidden in the darkness, Han Dong was completely astounded by the ensuing battle.
The duel between the female knight and the Fallen transcended human bounds, never mind the use of Magic and Oddities.
The sheer physical prowess alone was enough to shock Han Dong.
With a simple kneel-hop, Silist could reach a height of five meters, easily leaping over the [Fallen, Baker].
The swing of her chain-sickle could pierce a meter-thick stone wall and even create a deep pit on the ground.
Together with the various offensive attacks of Holy light Magic from the ‘Holy Church Army’, they continuously exerted pressure on the adversary.
[Fallen, Baker] due to interference from inner distractive thoughts, had not fully adapted to his body, his lack of flexibility kept him in a state of ‘being suppressed’.
At first glance, Silist seemed to have an advantage.
But… there was a problem.
Even though every attack of the chain could shatter several tentacles, the Fallen’s origins remained unharmed.
The shattered tentacles either crawled back to the main body or grew new ones.
“The [Sacred Teachings Army] isn’t purely offensive. They also need to ‘carry the shield’.
And some of the Holy Light Magic also belongs to the Buff Enhancement type, those actually usable in battle are limited to the thrown Holy Light Attacks and covering the chain-sickle with the Holy Flame.
Her positioning leans more toward ‘Defense’ and ‘Team Buffing’.
Only in cooperation with her teammates can her full strength be utilised.
Under the circumstances that she is the major target of hate, there needs to be a teammate with sufficient attack power to deal a deadly blow to the target.
If this continues, she’ll inevitably lose due to exhaustion.
I must do something.”
Hidden in the shadows, Han Dong once again let Chen Li out.
Sensing the two powerful presences, Chen Li instinctively retreated, trying to merge as much as possible with the darkness, staying hidden.
When Han Dong gave out the battle plan, Chen Li immediately shook her head.
“It’s too dangerous, we might both die.”
“If we don’t take risks, we’re going to die anyway… might as well give it a shot.”
Chen Li disagreed, still vetoing the idea of direct combat, “We could just run away now, letting this female knight hold off this Fallen creature… at worst, you will just be judged as failing your task, right?”
Chen Li was not a kind-hearted person.
When she realized that the enemy’s strength was far above hers, all she thought about was survival, not rushing to her death.
“No… My goal isn’t to save this female knight, but rather, I want to get the Magic Book hidden inside the Fallen! Chen Li, I need your help.”
The ‘Master-Servant Relationship’ subtly took effect, Chen Li found it hard to resist Han Dong’s request, although she was inherently unwilling to take the risk.”
“What if we die?”
“Living in this world, many people die every day… If we don’t do something, if we don’t strive for some important things, we’ll eventually die too.”
My intuition tells me, this book is of great importance to me.
Also, if coupled with Silist, we can kill the Fallen who has merged with the creatures outside the City Wall, I will also reap a lot of ‘Cell Essence’, which will increase my chances of survival in the next ‘Fate Space’.”
Miss Chen Li, I need your help.”
“…All right, we’ll do as you say.”
Chen Li’s eyes darkened, as she started to warm up, flexing all the joints in her body, in the shadowy corner.
“Holy Hammer Verdict!”
Silist initiated a special move.
When the chain-sickle was thrown, a large amount of Divine Energy was drawn from her head.
A giant Holy Light Hammer was formed above the Fallen, sharply descending. At the moment she released the hammer, Silist could not continue the pursuit as she had to kneel due to the sudden drain of a large amount of energy, causing her consciousness to waver…
As the Giant Holy Hammer pressed down,
[Fallen, Baker] extended his tentacle-filled arms to block.
Zzzt!
Due to opposing attributes, black steam continuously burst from the arms used for blocking, the surface tentacles quickly turned into filthy mucus, continually dripping onto the ground.
Cra!
The holy hammer also possessed tremendous force, causing Baker’s legs to tremble slightly and sink into the ground.
However, this holy hammer formed by energy wouldn’t exist forever.
With the continuous cancellation of pollutants.
At the same time as the black steam erupted, the light of the holy hammer was weakening… If this continued, at most Baker’s arms would be useless, not enough to kill it.
Silist gnashed his teeth as he watched this.
“How can a mere dismissed apprentice knight withstand such a powerful creature from outside the wall!? With his physical state, he should break down directly during the ‘acceptance’ process, why can he perfectly accept it?”
The question that puzzled Silist the most was this.
Acceptance and possession.
It’s not about randomly finding a host, the body of the subject must be strong enough, otherwise, it will turn directly into mush in the process of accepting foreign objects.
“Damn… I didn’t expect the second layer to produce such a troublesome fallen, if I can get out alive, I must report to the higher ups.
In recent years, the outside stuff has been increasingly desirous of invading us, and the means are getting more and more secretive.
But… With my current methods, it’s hard to kill this thing.
What should I do? Burn the remaining Divine Tree energy, perish the cauldrons and sink the boats?”
As Silist stared at the giant holy hammer that was about to be cancelled, ready to make a terrible decision.
A red shadow flashed at the corner.
He climbed directly onto “The Fallen, Baker”‘s shoulder from the ‘side’. (Silist diverted his attention from the front, there was a huge eye on the back, so the side was the best position for a surprise attack.)
You should know that Baker’s tentacles all have subjective mobility, and as soon as they sense the approach of an oddity, they immediately wrap around it.
Whoosh- Whoosh-
The vegetable knife covered in evil aura carried out ultra-fast chopping, the tentacles were cut off one after another and fell on the ground.
His eyes were locked onto Baker’s head.
That’s right.
The request given by Han Dong was for Chen Li to lock onto the opponent’s skull.
Because, only Baker’s head was remaining in a barely human form.
Once the head is hurt, even if it isn’t fatal, it should have some effect, right?
Chen Li belonged to the containment creatures. In a prison filled with chaotic tentacles, she also feared no form of ‘pollution’.
Taking advantage of the perfect opportunity when the Fallen was resisting the holy hammer, she quickly climbed to its shoulder from the side, avoiding contact with the huge eye on its back.”
“The eye on the back” was a feature that Han Dong paid great attention to, it seemed that a mysterious magic book was hidden inside.
Also, from the previous fights, it was clear that Silist was also afraid of this eye, and he had been fighting head on all along.
Because of the huge eye embedded in its back, it’s hard to launch a surprise attack from the back of this Fallen.
“Chen Li, do it… try your best to distract it.”
The sharp knife slammed fiercely at Baker’s bulky head.
Crack!
One strike actually cracked the skull.
An anomaly suddenly occurred.
A different kind of ‘brain tentacles’ gushed out of the cracked skull.
The vegetable knife couldn’t cut through these tentacles…
Whoosh!!
Oil liquid splashed around.
The tentacle easily pierced through Chen Li’s shoulders, hanging her in mid-air and gazing directly at the eye on the back!
At this moment, the young man hidden in the dark made his move..
