my armed maid

Chapter 151 Chapter 148: Perfect

"I caught you." Nolen's eyes lit up.

Such a powerful and familiar fluctuation of the soul body is definitely that Gaia worm.

After preying on the high-level monster in the misty swamp, it was using the swamp as a cover, hiding underground a hundred meters deep to take a rest. This was a great time to hunt it.

"It is indeed still there." Ryan asked, "According to the original plan?"

The so-called original plan was that if the Gaia worm sneaked into the swamp, the Knights would send water mages to clear the swamp mud, and then let the Sky Knights airdrop a seismic machine to force it out of the ground.

"That's it."

Nolen nodded, and immediately looked at Julius and others who were standing by, "You can set off."

"Yes!" Julius and Bryant have finished dressing up.

They put on the gray raven masks, then each of them dragged a seismic machine and flew towards the misty swamp not far away.

As a high-level water mage, he can sense changes in the terrain through the flow of liquid on the ground, and knows where there is a swamp nearby and where the way forward is.

The next moment, two wind blades cut through the fog and fell from the sky.

Yuna and Liz each came with a handful of Gungnir to protect them.

Watson is doing his best to maintain the formation of the swamp vortex and cannot be distracted from using other high-level spells.

"Yes!"

Watson is the only high-level water mage in the Knights. This time, he is responsible for draining the swamp mud.

The unknown brings fear. Under the fog, no one knows what kind of monster they will encounter in the next second.

After the chanting of the spell was completed, a glimmer of light flashed in Watson's eyes. He pointed the magic circle at the swamp in front of him and shouted in a deep voice:

The sharp teeth of the giant bite fish hit the barrier, but it was unable to completely shatter the blocking barrier.

"The crusade has begun."

The giant fish bite has sharp teeth and is extremely aggressive. It is a common monster that inhabits areas such as swamps and wetlands. Its level is usually around level three to four.

The surroundings were very quiet. The boots of the three people stepped on the soft and muddy ground, making a pia pia pia pia pia chi sound. Agathe frowned and said:
"I can't detect any movement around me. It's so eerily quiet here."

As soon as his mind moved, a layer of aqua blue blocking barrier spread out on his body.

While preparations were being made here, the ground troops also started taking action.

That is the giant bite fish, also known as the four-legged piranha.

Of course, such a movement was not insignificant. With Watson's full force, all the monsters living in the misty swamp were alarmed by him.

"This is it."

"Soon-"

So, led by the drone and Watson, the three of them wandered around in the fog and soon arrived at the north side of the swamp.

"open!"

Although it is a "fish", it actually has lungs and incompletely degraded limbs. It is also larger in size, with a total length of nearly two meters.

But he is also a high-level mage after all, and no matter what, he is not a mere giant bite fish that can be touched.

Two dark figures shot out from the boiling swamp, opened their ferocious mouthparts and bit at Watson.

Nolen looked at the backs of the four people flying towards the fog, and then ordered, "Unload the naval guns, then load the shells, and be ready for bombardment at any time."

Ryan pointed to the smoky swamp ahead. Watson nodded, clenched the staff in his hand, and cast the spell "Water Movement".

After walking for a while, Watson reminded him, "Go this way."

When he arrived at the designated location, Watson stood on the swamp and began to chant a spell.

Under the resonance of magic power, the swamp under his feet began to boil and roll rapidly like boiling water.

The hazy lavender smoke immediately surrounded them, and the fog became thicker as they went forward, and soon they reached the point where humans and animals were indistinguishable three meters away.

The swampy area was inconvenient for riding horses, so the three of them prepared themselves and entered the misty area on foot.

"Be careful, there is a swamp ahead."

Using the drone's vision to observe the battle below, Yuna and Liz, who were suspended in the air and on standby, pulled out the magic guns from their waists and launched long-range support for the ground troops.

Accompanying him and responsible for the cover were Knight Commander Ryan and Eighth Team Captain Agathe.

The vortex grew bigger and bigger, and it kept throwing the swamp mud inside the vortex outward until a huge hole formed in the eye of the vortex.

"Wow—"

After sharing the drone's vision with Nolen, he knew that there were no powerful monsters around that could threaten them, and he also bypassed areas where small monsters gathered to avoid unnecessary battles.

"Soon-"

"Just follow me." Ryan walked at the front of the team wearing a gray raven mask.

A layer of blue film formed under his feet. With the help of water skills, the boots did not sink in when they came into contact with the swamp, and the entire journey was smooth.

……

The next moment, an invisible force acted on his feet, like a cement mixer, rolling up a gray vortex in the swamp.

The two wind blades scraped against Watson's barrier with great precision, splitting the two giant bite fish into two.

After getting cover, Watson then distractedly released the fifth-level spell "Blue Wave Shock".

The next moment, a circle of ripples spread out with him as the center. Like several mines detonating at the same time, he triggered several violent explosions in the swamp.

"Boom boom boom——"

Dust and mud were splashed, and all the monsters hidden in the swamp had their organs shattered by the "blue wave shock", turning their bellies and losing their ability to resist.

All the high-level monsters in the swamp have been preyed upon by Gaia worms, so the only remaining monsters are "little minions" like the giant phagfish that are not on the table, and cannot pose any threat to the ground troops.

At this moment, the whirlpool in the swamp was expanded to the limit by Watson. The whirlpool completely separated the swamp, allowing people to see the bottom river bed at a glance.

Nolen could see it clearly through the drone footage and immediately ordered without hesitation:
"The earthquake machine can be dropped."

"Yes!"

Julius and Bryant, who had been waiting above the swamp for a long time, began to lower their altitude and dive into the vortex of the swamp.

After landing at the bottom of the swamp, they placed the heavy seismic machine in their hands on the river bed, pulled the start switch and accelerated outward.

"Om-"

The two seismic machines were successfully activated, and the earth-yellow array spread out from their bottoms and projected onto the surface of the river bed.

"Rumble--" The dual level six earth spell "Earth Shock" was activated at the same time, and a strong earthquake was felt from the deepest part of the swamp.

"Good job!"

Julius and Bryant rushed out of the whirlpool, while not forgetting to shout to Watson outside, "Get out of here!"

"I know!"

After casting so many spells in a short period of time, Watson's magic power was also consumed a lot, and his face turned slightly pale.

But he knew that his mission had been completed, and he was in high spirits at this moment. He calmed down the whirlpool and began to evacuate.

However, even if the whirlpool subsided, the movement in the swamp was still getting louder and louder.

"Boom——"

"Rumble--"

The two seismic machines seemed to shatter the ground, and the swamp began to tilt and collapse. All surviving creatures in the area fled out of the swamp in panic.

"How about this move?"

Nolen looked at the churning swamp. The two seismic machines were activated just above the habitat of the Gaia worm.

Wake up, the ceiling of your house has been smashed through, can you still bear it?
I really can't bear it!

Just as he expected, it didn't take long -

Sure enough, a deep, resonant whimpering sound came from deep underground, and then, a wide snake shape that was a hundred meters long jumped out of the swamp like a whale leaping out of the sea!
"Woo——"

It screamed, and its silver-gray scales turned translucent red at this moment. It actually entered the "energy flow burst" state from the beginning, as if to show its angry mood at the moment.

A powerful wave of magic power spread out, and even the thick fog over the swamp was dispersed.

"This is... the eighth-level magical beast Gaia Worm!"

This was the first time for Julius, Watson and others to see it. Looking at the huge monster that appeared in the mist, they all swallowed subconsciously.

Those who don’t know are fearless. Could it be that what I just woke up was such a huge monster?
The hundred-meter-long snake-like monster was right in front of him. Watson's legs were a little weak. Before he could take a few steps, he noticed that the black shadow behind him was getting closer and closer to him.

This is a flick of the tail of the Gaia worm. For the huge eighth-level monster, every time it moves its body, it is a disaster for the surrounding creatures.

"Do not--"

Watson was horrified. At this moment, a figure stood between him and the Gaia worm.

Ryan hugged Watson and raised his arm shield, and the Gaia Worm's tail then knocked him away.

But he was well prepared, and skillfully removed most of his strength during defense, and landed safely with Watson in the air.

"You did a great job, now leave it to us."

Ryan said in a deep voice, "Agathe, take him out of here."

"Yes!" Agathe caught Watson and carried him away from the battlefield.

"The Gaia worm has finally been forced out."

On the top of the mountain in the distance, Nolen asked, "Captain Ryan, can you attack his back? Its injury has not fully recovered yet!"

After the Gaia worm appeared just now, he immediately controlled the drone to observe the injuries on its back.

Ogang, the eighth-level knight of Alto City, is indeed amazing. The wounds caused by his unique skill "Ember Slash" are extremely difficult to heal, even if it is as powerful as the Gaia worm.

After two days, the wound on its back was only about 30% healed.

Although the remaining wounds no longer bleed, that's all. With a little attack, damage can be easily caused.

"I'll try!" Ryan pulled out his knight's sword and charged towards the Gaia Worm.

Facing the eighth-level monster, he did not dare to be too aggressive and released his pressure and full strength without reservation.

After sensing that he was a threat to his own safety, the Gaia worm's form also changed.

A "crunching" sound sounded on the surface of the body. The silver-gray scales around it began to shrink even more closely, and the body length also quickly shrank from the original approximately one hundred meters to about forty meters.

By reducing its size, its flexibility and defense have been enhanced.

Immediately afterwards, countless red rock thorns pierced the swamp like waves and attacked Ryan layer by layer.

Ryan's eyes were as bright as a torch, and the knight's sword in his hand shone brightly due to the powerful magic power injected into it.

Combat skill "Seamless": Use powerful magic to attach to equipment, greatly enhancing its equipment performance for a certain period of time.

Although this move looks simple, it can not only increase the lethality of the sword, but also enhance the defensive power of the shield. It is actually a very practical high-level combat skill.

It was also by virtue of this move that he was able to resist the Gaia worm in the energy flow burst state in a short period of time without falling behind.

With the perfect blessing, he used the terrifying physical fitness of an eighth-level knight to dodge between the rock thorns.

Either resist or swing the knight's sword to cut the rock barrier in front of him in two.

Once he was close to the Gaia worm, he kicked off his feet hard and rose into the sky, ready to jump on its back to attack its weak points.

But just as he was about to approach the Gaia worm, he suddenly felt his body sink.

"Oh!"

The Gaia worm launched a gravity wave, and his figure was pulled down from mid-air by the sudden gravity, and then was knocked away by a sweep from its tail.

"Captain Ryan!" Nolen was slightly startled.

Judging from the momentum of this blow, Ryan actually took this blow.

"I'm fine." Ryan stood up in the mist.

"It's just that this monster is already on guard. With that annoying gravity wave, I may not be able to easily get to its back."

"It doesn't matter." Nolen said quickly, "Please continue to try to attack, I will let the White Raven and Sky Knight support you in the air.

"...Besides, it doesn't matter even if you can't get the back, it's better to say it's just right.

"If it puts all its attention on dealing with you, we can find better opportunities to snipe it."

Ryan's mind moved, and he looked through the thick fog to a mountaintop two kilometers away.

"Heh, speaking of the planned tactics, this is correct."

He raised his lips and raised his sword to attack the Gaia Worm again.

“I’m here to create a chance for you, Nolen.

"I believe you can do it!"
