our family is gone

Chapter 838 The Sleeper Awakens

Holding two Roma sacred objects, the [Astrologer] compass and the [Stargazer] crystal ball, Tamara did crack the secret of the farm's starry sky as Amanda said.

Finally, everyone entered the core of the farm and came to the underground of the mill. They found the deep pit created by the object in the starry sky and discovered the comet sleeping there.

While everyone was marveling at the huge and thick crystals that were spreading wildly here, Lance had already glimpsed an unknown object vaguely visible inside the crystals.

Their entry caused a counterattack from something. Under the fiercely flashing light, clusters of crystals grew out. They were soon injected with strange power and emitted colorful fluorescence.

With Lance's order, the battle began. The guards stepped forward with pickaxes to knock open the crystals, while Lance walked forward with sword in hand and chopped down the largest crystal pillar along the cleared path.

As the sword blade approached, there was that familiar feeling of obstruction. The defensive force field lingering above the crystal could weaken the attack, and the force was partially weakened. However, Lance's power was too strong. Even so, when the sword blade collided with the crystal, the tip broke directly, and crystal fragments flew everywhere.

But the monster would not wait to die, and the fluorescent light on its body began to bloom.

Humble gathering!

The broken tip was pulled together again by the force, and fluorescent fluid seeped out from the fracture to glue it together, while the tiny fragments fell to the ground and gave birth to deformed crystal clusters again.

Others also began to prepare, and the guards cleared away the distorted crystals, not giving them a chance to expand.

At the same time, Amanda threw a flying knife, and the ritual on it directly broke the defensive force field surrounding it.

Alhazred also held up the skull candlestick, and the weakness spell further disintegrated the power of the crystal column.

Even Tamara took out the crystal ball. She could see stars flowing in it, floating in front of her without having to hold it. As she raised her hand, the power of the stars gathered in it, followed by a condensed starlight shooting out.

Almost instantly, the crystal pillar was targeted with fire, and all kinds of rituals, curses, and spells were cast on it, causing even its brilliance to dim.

Lance was also not idle. He swung the sword in his hand and cut it off again and again. Even though the fluorescent light kept gluing it back together, it was visible to the naked eye that the entire pillar was dripping with fluorescent fluid, as if it was covered with scars.

Completely suppressed, the resistance of the crystal pillar even seemed funny under the siege. Although it still maintained its form, its aura already gave people a feeling of lethargy.

At this moment, the crystal clusters that were scattered around the field disappeared, followed by a violent vibration.

Everyone then saw that the ground where the huge crystal pillar was rooted was cracking, and they didn't know whether the huge comet that had been used as a background board was awakened by the vibration or the vibration was a sign of its awakening.

Anyway, the blazing fluorescent light was emitted, and countless pieces of gravel were suspended in the air. The comet that had sunk into the ground was also suspended in the air under the push of the unknown force, revealing its true appearance to the world.

Perhaps due to its large size, it did not completely resist gravity and was only suspended one or two meters above the ground.

But after it completely left the ground, it turned out to be an exaggerated body as big as a room. Most of its irregular outer shell was a thick stone shell that wrapped its oval shape. There were also crystal pillars extending out like spikes on it, and the crystals on its back were like the tail flame of a falling comet.

And the bottom surface that was originally buried in the soil was not covered by an outer shell. It was not known whether the stone shell was knocked off by the impact or it had always been like this. From there, one could see that the inside of the stone shell was filled with densely packed crystals. With the help of the light, one could also see that there seemed to be something in the crystals, but the light penetrated in and was refracted between countless crystals and became blurred.

But even so, it was difficult to conceal its core. The huge eyeball that was vaguely visible seemed to be turning as if sizing up everyone. The alien's pupils were not those of a humanoid creature at all.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that the crystal pillar that they had just attacked was only a small part of the comet.

As the sleeping comet woke up, it didn't even take any action, but the invisible power it emitted directly distorted the space.

The photo-real scene on the canvas is distorted like an abstract oil painting by splashing cold paint and then waving the brush around.

There was only an area under their feet left, with countless pieces of rubble suspended surrounding it. This scene was somewhat familiar to everyone. Wasn't it a similar scene to being dragged in by the green crystals?
It was the first time for everyone to face such a huge monster. For a moment, everyone was a little confused. Looking up at the monster floating in the distorted space, they didn't know what to do.

But the sleeper did not let them go just because of this. He launched an attack as soon as he woke up.

The huge body swayed, and the entire body rose one or two meters. A hole was actually opened in the crystal below, and countless tentacles stretched out from it and waved towards the crowd.

Sleepers rock!
The squid-like purple, slender tentacles covered with suction cups waved wildly, covering everyone under the influence of that strange force.

Serious injuries and obvious panic!

There was no room to dodge the tentacles that disrupted time and space. Neither the agile Amanda nor Lance, who had broken through the limits of human beings, could dodge them. It seemed that dodging was useless in front of the sleeper.

The force contained in this blow was enough to knock everyone down easily. Lance couldn't even take out his shield. He only had time to raise his sword to block in front of him, but he also took a few steps back before he could steady himself.

However, what is even more terrifying is that the wounds touched by the tentacles will fester directly, and the accompanying corrosion is so intense that it is somewhat terrifying.

He had never suffered such a heavy blow since he became a demigod. There was no doubt that the Sleeper demonstrated the power from the stars.

However, Lance is not an ordinary person. As long as he cannot be killed instantly, it means that the battle will never end.

Flesh and blood reconstruction!
Bless you!

Lance was the only one who was not knocked down by the tentacles. He immediately activated his power, and the scars on everyone's bodies were instantly smoothed out. His status refresh directly offset the corrosive force.

And after everyone fell down, he stood up and faced the sleepers with an unyielding posture as if he had an aura of courage. Just standing there eliminated the fear in everyone's hearts.

After those guards got up from the ground, they seemed to be unaffected by anything. Instead of their morale dropping, they became even more fanatical.

Amanda and the others did not show any fear, as if they would not lose as long as that man stood here.

It was the first time that Tamara had encountered such a situation. She was inevitably panicked by the power of the sleeper, but people are affected by the surrounding environment, and the state of other people soothed her fear to a great extent.

As for the fact that her injuries healed in an instant, she didn't even have time to react because the battle had already begun. Lance was not tolerant at all, and a cannon appeared on the field without any warning, breaking the weird atmosphere.

So what if I fucking fly into the sky?
I’ll knock it down for you!
"fire!"

By adjusting the slider, the elevation angle was increased. As Lance roared, the fuse burned out and the war machine roared.

In an instant, the hot shells from the muzzle aimed at the star monster whizzed out, followed by spewing out hot flames mixed with smoke.

However, a strange scene appeared. The projectile, which could not be observed by the naked eye, showed an obvious delay when it approached. It was obviously blocked by the defensive force field, but it still hit in an instant.

The collision between the shell and the crystal caused a very strange sound. The hardness was exchanged for brittleness, and large pieces of the crystal broke directly. Only a very subtle shattering sound could be heard from them.

It was obvious that this was not soft flesh and blood, and it was too big to be killed instantly with one shot, but this blow still made the sleeper's huge body tremble.

"Reloading ammunition!"

Lance dropped two boxes of shells, and the guards immediately came up with tools to load the ammunition. They were not proficient, but they knew everything, and now facing such a big thing, there was no way they would miss.

At the same time, Alhazred and the others had already started casting spells, knowing full well that attacks were unnecessary and that they were simply using auxiliary skills such as the Weakness Curse and Weakness Spell.

Amanda performed a similar operation, throwing out projectiles with extraordinary power. The flying knife hit the crystal and did not break the defense at all, but the curse that erupted from it severely weakened the defense that enveloped it.

When facing the crystal pillar before, the two of them could easily break the defense individually, but now they can only do it when they work together.

Faced with such a terrifying enemy, Tamara did not dare to hold back, but as an astrologer, she had very few means of attack, most of which were auxiliary abilities.

After a slight hesitation, she followed the example of the spellcasters present and chose not to attack or weaken the enemy, but to strengthen her teammates.

Holding up the crystal ball, the starlight bloomed from it, covering the field like a projection. The starlight flowed into everyone's body, making them feel more flexible and their perception became stronger.

At this time, the artillery had completed loading and roared again, and this time the shells were no longer blocked by the force field and hit the monster with lightning speed.

The crystal collapsed instantly and shattered over a large area, leaving obvious holes on it. Even the slowest monster would react to this kind of injury.

I don't know if it was due to the refraction of the crystal or for some other reason, but I could see that the eye inside the crystal suddenly opened wide, and the crystal that wrapped the eyeball glowed.

Sleepers awaken!
The crystals that had shattered and were suspended at the beginning, as well as the crystals that had just been shattered by the shells, fell towards everyone as if under control. In an instant, countless crystals fell throughout the space, as dense as drizzle.

But that thing was either a crystal pillar as thick as an arm, or pieces bigger than a human head. If it hit a person, it could easily seriously injure him at that speed, not to mention the strange power contained in it that tried to pollute their will.

Fortunately, the guards came in this time to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers, so they specialize in close combat and have complete equipment. Simply put, they have armor and helmets.

Safety first!

Spellcasters like Alhazred also have their own methods. Amanda took out a small round shield to block her head. Tamara took out the star disk called Astrologer and directly projected a starry sky crack to block her head. The crystal disappeared as soon as it passed.

The falling crystal is meaningless to Lance unless he kills him instantly. Similarly, the teammate who fell to the ground after this move stood up again the next second.

"Protect yourself!" Lance no longer held back and threw some shields to everyone, then ran towards the sleeper, charging forward with a sword in hand.

There was nothing special about the greatsword that had not absorbed enough blood. It was solid and sharp in its own right, and with the power of Lance, it directly pierced the crystal of the sleeper.

Because it was close enough, Lance could even see that it subconsciously closed its eyes when facing the attack, but this did not prevent the sword blade from being stabbed into it.

There was not much use in working on the outer shell, and it was more direct to attack the monster under the crystal. This also caused the sleeper to resist, and tentacles extended from the crystal.

The tentacle that had knocked down most of the people with one move before and made him retreat with just one tentacle rushed forward as if to grab Lance.

But the same move was useless to him. Lance, who was prepared, kicked the crystal and retreated, drawing his greatsword while dodging the tentacles, and then chopped down the approaching tentacle with a single move.

The purple tentacles that were still twitching and struggling after separating from the body indicated that there was indeed something inside the crystal. What was even more strange was that fluorescent fluid was flowing out of the wound. This discovery made Lance a little hesitant.

However, the injury made the Sleeper counterattack even more frantically, controlling the crystals to fall and repeating his old trick.

However, this method is only effective for the first time. Now that everyone has started to stack armor, it is even less likely that anyone will die on top of the shield, and only a few will be injured.

Instead, the artillery had already finished loading, and took the opportunity to fire another shot into it.

This time, it was not known whether the sleeper noticed it or changed its position to deal with Lance. The artillery hit the outer shell, and although the defensive force field was gone, the cracked stone skin took most of the damage.

But how can it deal with Lance's attack when it has been weakened by curses one after another?

Lance swung the greatsword in his hand in a circle and slashed with all his strength. The crystal touched by the sword blade collapsed without any accident, leaving a clear cut mark.

And this was just the beginning. No one knew the limits of Lance's full explosion. Ordinary people couldn't even keep up with his movements. They could only hear the reverberating knocking sounds like iron hammering and the collapsing crystal.

The guards on the other side were not slow at all in reloading. They did not care about the position and fired directly after reloading, inflicting full damage. The damage caused was also considerable. The bombardment at the same place almost destroyed half of the huge body.

Alhazred and his men interfere with and weaken various spells and rituals. When spellcasters have no restrictions, they will tell you what cruelty is.

Lance, who was in direct confrontation, didn't know how many times he swung his sword, and his body was covered with splashing fluorescent fluid, and underneath were the tentacles that he had cut off.

Finally, the sword was slashed out, and the crystal shell cracked...
