Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 148 The Evil God Appears (Thanks to the Big Brother for the Reward)

No one knows the name of the underwater city under Lake Vizima, but as an underwater city in an inland lake, its scale is not too large. It is not so much a city as an underwater town.

However, the residents living in Vizima City never imagined that under this seemingly beautiful and peaceful lake, there is actually a terrifying evil god and hundreds of evil god's minions hidden.

While developing their power, they quietly lurk, waiting for the opportunity, ready to set off a huge disaster at any time.

Unbeknownst to them, Wayne has already led six of his fellow demon hunters and three female sorceresses who assisted them in fighting together, and started a secret campaign to suppress them.

This underwater town looks very dilapidated. In addition to the collapsed small Roman architectural style underwater houses scattered around, there is also a huge temple with a wide area in the center of the town.

A large number of murloc guards have been patrolling around the town with all kinds of crude weapons, and many thin murlocs are catching fish and seaweed that come into their sight, doing their part for the continuation of the group force.

Beginning in the second half of last year, the fish frying activities that lasted for several months have caused serious damage to this group of half murlocs who were once the dominant position on the shores of Lake Vizima, and made these surviving half murlocs become A frightened bird, extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment.

Although the loss of more than ten or twenty per day may not seem like much, but together, this group of half murlocs has already lost almost half of their fighters.

This also forces them to seldom go out to look for food. Most of them just hide in their old nests, wary of any strangers who dare to enter their territory.

Therefore, when Wayne and his party, supporting the underwater barrier that separated the lake, started from the bottom of the water and approached the underwater town not far away, they immediately caused a violent reaction from the aborigines in the town.

In reality, it will not be like in the game, where two or three enemies come at once, and then let you erode their strength little by little like fighting monsters and upgrading, and finally a big boss will appear, fight with you alone, and let you complete a A feat of single-handedly singled out a faction.

As soon as Wayne and the others approached, the murlocs immediately unleashed their strongest power. Led by a dozen strong murloc leaders wearing bone armor, there were almost two hundred murlocs, like a wave Like a surging black tide, they swam towards Wayne and the others.

Before they approached, a large number of bone harpoons were thrown out of their hands, like spears thrown by the two armies when they were fighting, and they were densely packed towards the position of the underwater barrier.

However, these half-fish people who have been living in a closed environment don't know that there is a kind of spellcaster called a warlock among humans.

Facing a large number of projected harpoons, Keira, who was wearing a long white dress and several magic props, held a small wand and quickly chanted a spell.

As the spell ended, Keira waved the magic wand forward, and an invisible huge wave surged in front of her. After leaving the underwater enchantment, it quickly formed a surging wave, directly projecting the waves coming from the front. The harpoon was messed up and lost the power to attack.

As a female sorceress who is good at protection spells, her spells may not be very effective when facing thousands of troops or large legions, but when facing these murlocs whose individual combat power is not comparable to that of ordinary humans , in this kind of small-scale battle, her protective spell is a powerful force that can change the situation of the battle.

The half-fish were also stunned for a moment, harpoon throwing can be said to be their unique move, although they have few enemies near Lake Vizima, and they don't have much combat experience, but relying on this move, they can always catch them in the lake. to your own food.

Unexpectedly, the trick that was invincible in the past was useless this time, but soon, encouraged by those strong half-murloc leaders, the group of half-murlocs regained their morale, holding the weapons in their hands, and directly facing the water. The lower enchantment rushed over, ready to win by numbers, hand-to-hand combat, and a sea of ​​​​people tactics.

Facing the raging murlocs, the seven demon hunters, including Wayne, consciously blocked the sorceresses behind them and formed a simple semicircular formation to prevent them from rushing in. The murloc in the barrier will hurt the weak sorceress behind.

Especially Ye Naifa, who has been transporting mana and maintaining the operation of the underwater barrier, if she is attacked, it is likely to make the barrier lose its effect. At that time, millions of tons of lake water will be pressed down, and all People could be seriously injured.

Therefore, Wayne has always stood closest to the three sorceresses, almost protecting them personally, and did not participate in the battle with other witchers. This is his main task in this battle.

Soon, as the group of half murlocs kept approaching, when the first batch of half murlocs passed through the underwater barrier, were affected by the barrier, and fell from the lake water in midair to the ground, the front line The six demon hunters immediately launched a precise and swift killing.

The natural body structure and crude equipment protection make this group of murlocs helpless against the blades of the demon hunters. In addition, the murlocs are born with slightly inferior fighting power than ordinary people. Potions, smeared with sword oil, and super fighters in full condition who cooperated with each other tacitly, the battle situation was one-sided from the beginning.

The weapons in the hands of the murlocs shattered at the touch of the demon hunter's steel sword, and their bodies, including their bodies, were quickly cut into countless pieces, and the fishy smell of blood was sprinkled all over the bottom of the lake, and then they were reborn covered in murloc flesh.

The black waves formed by these half murlocs seemed to have hit the hardest reef. As soon as the two sides came into contact, they were smashed into tiny sprays, with no power to resist.

With a steel sword in his hand, Wayne maintained a high degree of vigilance in his heart. While guarding the side of the three sorceresses, he quietly watched the massacre of the murlocs by his fellow demon hunters.

No half murloc was able to support three moves in the hands of the demon hunter. Coupled with the tacit cooperation with each other, even if they were able to block the attack directly in front, they would often be directly pierced by the sharp sword attacking from behind.

It's a pity that no one can understand the language of the half-fish people so far. Otherwise, they might be able to negotiate to get them to give up their belief in evil gods instead of killing them all like they are now.

Soon, as more and more murlocs poured into the underwater barrier, Keira and Triss also joined the battle.

One of the two sorceresses used lightning magic, and the other used fire magic. Facing these half murlocs who had no armor protection at all, their lethality was also huge.

Every bolt of lightning, every fireball will leave terrifying wounds on these half murlocs, and what is more serious than these wounds is the psychological pressure.

After all, for these primitive and ignorant underwater murlocs, fighting with swords and swords is still within their comprehension, but those shining lightning and scorching fireballs are terrifying things they have never seen before. Objects, such magic attacks quickly broke down the line of defense in their hearts.

With the concerted efforts of the sorceress and the witcher, less than half of the 200 half murlocs were quickly wiped out.

The huge casualties in such a short period of time immediately aroused the vigilance of the half murloc leaders.

One of the murlocs was the biggest, and a strong half murloc who should have a high status among the murlocs saw this. He immediately waved the weapon in his hand, let out a squeaking cry, and then took out an ugly shell horn from his waist. , put it to his mouth, and blew out a loud sound.

After hearing the sound, those half-fish people who were still charging at the front immediately abandoned their companions who were still fighting, and began to retreat towards the huge temple in the small town.

And because Geralt and the others couldn't break out of the underwater enchantment, they could only watch the murlocs escape without being able to do anything.

In the end, all the anger in my heart could be vented on those half murlocs who hadn't had time to evacuate, and the offensive became more violent for a while, and the half murlocs who hadn't had time to escape in the future were chopped into pieces and fell on the ground forever. bottom of the lake.

However, the results of the first battle were quite huge. Although the two sides fought for less than 10 minutes, on Wayne's side, apart from the consumption of physical and magic power, only Berengar suffered a little injury on his arm because of his inability to dodge. Minor abrasions.

Even if other demon hunters were attacked by murloc weapons, they would not be able to penetrate their armor and cause actual damage.

The half murlocs on the opposite side left nearly a hundred corpses in this confrontation, and finally, under the leadership of the leader, they all retreated into the huge palace in the center of the town.

It's a pity that the moving speed of the underwater barrier is much slower than the swimming speed of the murlocs. They can only move forward step by step towards the location of the temple.

After entering the underwater city from the bottom of the lake, Triss let out a breath slowly, then turned to Yennefer and said:

"Ye, let me maintain the barrier, it's your turn to rest."

Yennefer nodded with a pale face. Maintaining such an underwater enchantment consumes a lot of magic power, which cannot be supported by a single sorceress. This is why the sorceresses did not use large-scale spells just now. Sufficient mana must be retained to maintain the enchantment until returning to the ground.

After being replaced by Triss, Yennefer immediately took out a bottle of purple potion with a rather unpleasant smell and drank it. Although the taste and smell of this potion are not very good, it is one of the most commonly used by warlocks. Potions can effectively help spellcasters to speed up the recovery of mana and boost their spirits.

Seeing the goddess Yennefer covering her mouth and looking nauseous, the licking dog Geralt immediately took out a white handkerchief from his arms and handed it to the sorceress, but Yennefer just gave him a sideways glance. Then he threw the handkerchief stained with the stinky murloc blood on the ground with some disgust, just wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and asked Wayne:
"What's next, Wayne."

"Should we destroy the murlocs near the town first, and then concentrate on entering the temple, or directly enter the temple?"

Wayne was actually thinking about this question too, but before he could make a decision, the old witcher Vesemir also put forward his idea.

"I think we should keep going and get to them as soon as possible, Wayne."

"Faced with our crushing combat power, these half murlocs did not choose to disperse, but all fled into the temple."

"Obviously, there should be a force in there that they can trust to help them against us."

"At this time, the more time we give the enemy to prepare, the stronger the resistance we will encounter."

The idea of ​​the old witcher was immediately endorsed by other witchers. George wiped the sword in his hand and said:
"Yes, Wayne, I think so too."

"We should eradicate the evil gods first, and then slowly deal with their minions. Otherwise, the evil gods may see that the situation is not good and choose to run away."

"Let us not achieve the purpose of this battle."

After listening to their thoughts, Wayne also agreed. After a short rest for a few minutes, some people immediately went straight to the gate of the temple and chased after it.

The structure of the underwater temple is similar to the temple of the gods in ancient Rome.

However, compared to the magnificent temple of the gods, this underwater hall has existed in the lake for an unknown period of time, and the exterior has been covered by a large amount of algae and various dirt.

Not only does it not have the grandeur that a temple should have, but it looks rather eerie, like a monster with its huge mouth open, waiting for others to fall into its trap.

However, Wayne and his party were not afraid of this. Facing the dark entrance of the temple, Keira immediately aimed in the direction of the gate and released a large-scale lighting spell.

Lighting up the road in front of them and the interior of the hall, everyone maintained a vigilant formation and walked carefully into the temple.

Seven demon hunters and three sorceresses, let alone two or three hundred murlocs, even a fully armed human army of 300 people, they are fearless.

After entering the temple, a more rotten and stench than fishy smell immediately permeated everyone's sense of smell. Wayne and others looked towards the hall and instantly understood what the half-fish people relied on.

In the huge underwater temple, the murlocs who had fled into the temple formed an attack formation again.

However, they are quite different from the previous battles.

Not only did each half murloc have red eyes, a fierce expression, swollen muscles, and a bigger body, it seemed to be possessed by some force.

Behind this team, there are more than a dozen half murloc priests holding metal staffs in their hands. in the body.

And the dozen or so strong murloc leaders before were completely changed beyond recognition.

Their bodies have swelled to about three meters, and their skin is light blue like water ghosts. There are wriggling tentacles under the head of the fish, and the muscles of the whole body have swelled to a weird degree. It is quite lethal at first glance.

And behind this group of half murlocs, there is another one whose body is close to five meters and whose skin is close to black. He looks like a giant with an octopus head. With a pair of huge blood and red eyes, he is staring at the person who entered the temple. everyone.
