Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 140 Fighting in the Water

The origin of the water monster in the gloomy lake in front of the Moria mine is almost unknown. According to the original book, Gandalf said that it may be a terrible creature that existed in ancient times. It is very ancient and evil. It hides deep in the mountains. In the veins of water, it has never appeared on the earth.

No one knows how it survived, only that it became bigger and more ferocious as time went by. It had 20 tentacles with small sucker-like mouths and octopus-like mouthparts. Inside were countless It has fangs as sharp as daggers, and a dim yellow eye that always reveals hunger and ferocity, but it is not an octopus.

Gandalf called it the Watcher of the Water.

With the changes of the world, the seas and fields of Central Continent have changed, and the underground water veins are connected with the lake in front of the Moria mine.So this water monster would come to the ground through the water channel from time to time, and in some dark nights, it would attack all people or animals who dared to approach the gate made by elves and dwarves.

But this water monster does not serve the orcs and their masters. What it does comes from its instinct - hunger.Even half-orcs, if they dared to appear by the lake before Moria, the hungry monster would eat them all, and there was no one left.

Over time, the orcs in the mines of Moria gradually stopped going to the west.

Except when they want to go out to do evil, otherwise they would never dare to approach the lake of death which they call "Molan Lake".

Now, it's Turka and Elf's turn to face the terrifying water monster.

Seeing the water monster spray out a cloud of pus that was as black as ink but glowing green, Nahal warned: "Be careful, don't be splashed by its blood and stomach juice, they are extremely corrosive."

As he said that, an extremely intense light erupted from the Holy Spirit's body, and the extremely dangerous pus bounced away.

As a result, the extremely dangerous pus fell on the surface of the water, immediately dyed the surface of the lake in a blackish green color, and sizzling, violent smoke and some kind of disgusting sound came out. odor.

Gildo, who had just cut off one of the tentacles of the water monster in the lake, stepped back vigilantly. As a result, a huge amount of corrosive dark green blood spewed out from the severed limb of the monster, corroding the wet mud by the lake. Sizzle.

Other elves also discovered the danger here, and the elves in the front row erected shields like leaves that had been magnified many times to resist the tentacles being swung by the water monster and being sprayed out by it. with highly corrosive filthy blood.

The elves in the back row drew their bows and arrows in unison, and shot three times in a row. Nearly a thousand arrows pierced the monster like a hedgehog.

Under the pain, the monster let out a piercing scream.

It waved its huge tentacles again and again, and swept away a row of elves with vertical shields. The elves behind were unable to dodge, and were also swept away or rolled up like rags.The huge body stirred the surface of the lake as if it had encountered a level [-] hurricane, and a large amount of icy lake water splashed up, washing the surrounding tree stumps and dry ground.

Among them, four or five extremely disgusting tentacles rolled towards the silver king who came treading water.

Nahal is like an elf dancing on the lake, and also like the shining silver light in the sky, which can only be seen from a distance but not played with.It moved left and right, dodging the attacks of the watchers in the water one after another, and the holy light on its body hurt the one eye of this hungry, evil creature.

It blinked its dim yellow eyes uncomfortably, and let out a sharp cry.

This gave Turka a chance.

He jumped up in coordination with the Holy Spirit, stepped on the water monster's slippery body, and headed straight for its head.

As if it had been expected, the cunning and evil lake monster suddenly opened its huge mouthparts, revealing layers of dagger-like sharp teeth inside, trying to swallow the silver king and the holy spirit in one gulp.

Beast, want to eat me?Don't be afraid to break your teeth!

The elves, dwarves, and secondary children present witnessed in shock that Turka held up the spear of Aeglos, and rushed into the monster's terrible and disgusting mouthpart one by one.

But the water monster screamed in pain.Because I saw the purest light in the world flashing on the snow-white spear tip of the spear of Aeglos in Turka's hand, piercing the monster's upper jaw fiercely, while Nahal's golden horseshoe crushed the sharp teeth of its lower jaw , the monster couldn't close its terrible mouthparts at all.

It miscalculated the power of the Silver King.Thought he was just one of the humans it ate.But Turka Arakano used his terrible power to tell it how big the gap was.

The dragonborn's extremely powerful heart was beating crazily, driving the blood in his body to boil.

Let's see who eats who!

Turka opened his mouth and sprayed, and an extremely hot dragon flame gushed out.

The water monster in the lake let out a terrifying scream like never before, and its body as huge as a hill rolled violently, making the whole Molan Lake roll with waves and splash in all directions!
Dragon Burn directly cooked and scorched its esophagus and the greasy and disgusting organs inside.A strange stench was accompanied by a certain smell of meat, and a strong smell of sulfur came to the nostrils.

"Hoo, moo~"

The tenacious vitality of the water monster kept it alive in the first few seconds. The instinct of life made it panic and want to sink to the bottom of the lake. Amazing dragon fire.

I saw a dark red light continuously shining in the pitch-black lake, huge steam rose endlessly, and with the lake surface setting off huge waves, the valley in front of Moria was suddenly clouded and misty like a fairyland on earth.

Finally, after a few seconds, the monster stopped moving.

And with a gust of wind blowing, the steam gradually dissipated, and a man and a horse rushed out of the lake.

It is the Silver King and Holy Spirit Nahar.

Seeing a man and a horse surrounded by white starlight and smoke, the elves present, led by Gildor, put their swords on their chests and paid high respect to this powerful king.

The dwarves headed by Balin watched all this dumbfounded.

"Salute to the king!" The humans in Elpera cheered resoundingly, and the huge sound waves spread into the dark mines of Moria, like rolling thunder, constantly echoing in the magnificent and vast hall of the dwarves.

So the half-orcs inside also knew about it.

"The watcher in the water is dead." A low, dirty, yellow orc with frightened eyes ran into the leader's room and shouted: "Its screams even reached the mountains, Humans killed it! Dwarf scum is entering through the western gate, and they want to take the stronghold back!"

A tall and strong half-orc kicked it over and said angrily: "Dwarf scum will never try to take Moria back! You idiot! Everyone is ready! Let's take these dwarf scum and his allies Get out of here!"

It wielded a massive spear, its broad face was swarthy, its eyes black as coal, and its tongue blood red.Driven by it, the half-orcs in the mines of Moria began to blow their horns and beat their drums, and rushed towards Simon.
