Chapter 327 The Feast of Snakes

The giant made of iron and steel garbage looks full of strange power, but its movements are extremely light.This is not a war weapon like the obsidian-constructed Titan, but a puppet manipulated by the puppeteer himself. It looks cumbersome, but in fact, its flexibility is almost the same as his own hands and feet.

If it wasn't for the fact that his physical injuries had deteriorated enough to be life-threatening, the puppeteer would never use this kind of metal trash to replace his actions.This thing has no artistic value at all, and it seriously violates his own aesthetic cognition. From another perspective, it is like a peerless master using a lazy trick like rolling a lazy donkey, which is very shameless.

But now is not the time to worry about face. If Diana is allowed to escape, all plans will come to naught.At such a critical moment, face is not so important, the big deal is to kill these annoying flies.The puppet master didn't intend to start a massacre in Sword Castle. After all, this is also the traditional sphere of influence of the Royal Party. Therefore, during the battle between him and Diana, both sides maintained a certain tacit understanding and did not spread their power to hurt innocent.

But now, because of the existence of these flies, the doll master finally couldn't help showing his killing intent.

"You have nowhere to escape!" The puppeteer sneered, manipulating the metal giant to raise his left arm, aiming at the shadow he was looking at.A metal spear shot out from the giant's arm, making a whistling sound similar to that of a bed crossbow and piercing through the air.

Other people might be helpless against the tricks of the magician, but the puppeteer is also an expert in this field. In his eyes, illusion magic of the mere silver level is useless, and it has no meaning in the face of absolute overwhelming power.

After firing the spear, the puppeteer turned his attention to his most concerned target.In just two sentences, the young man disappeared from his sight again.Of course, this kind of visual barrier in the physical sense is not a problem for the puppeteer. What really makes him feel a little troublesome is the direction in which the young man is escaping.

Unlike the wooden residential buildings that were destroyed by the aftermath of the battle just now, most of the urban buildings in front of us are made of bricks and stones. This is not a matter of sturdiness, but represents a difference in class.Only those powerful and powerful figures have the qualifications and ability to build gorgeous and solid gardens.To put it simply, the block in front of you is the settlement of nobles in Sword Castle.

Generally speaking, the strong who have reached the golden level have basically broken free from the shackles of the mundane world, but the puppeteer is not so lucky. When he chose to attach himself to the Oakland royal family, he had already tied his fate with this world. Countries are linked together.Even with the powerful strength of the gold rank, his every move must take into account the interests of the royal family.

At the level of the entire country, as long as Diana does not inherit the name of a real sword master, she will not have the real right to speak. Now her value cannot be compared with the noble circle of Sword Castle.The royal family needs the power of the Sword Castle, but this kind of power does not refer to the sword master who is hard to come by, but the underground gem veins with an annual output of millions of gold coins.The masters of these veins are none other than the Beifeng family and many ancient families of its vassals.

As an imperial envoy representing the will of the royal family, the puppeteer can neither kill Diana nor the nobles of Sword Castle. Protect them like uncles.The royal family's toughness towards the White Lion family has been secretly criticized. If the sword castle is not handled well, it may cause a serious blow to its own reputation.

"Is this what you expected?" The puppeteer turned around in surprise, looking at the shadow where the magician was.For such a deep-seated plan, one must have extraordinary political acumen. Of course, the incompetent little fellows of the Beifeng family do not have this ability. The only possibility is this strange magician...

To his surprise, the spear he threw hit the shadow, but there was no one there.Being able to deceive the perception of a strong gold rank is not something that ordinary people can have.

"If you just hide and hide like this, you won't be able to delay for 3 minutes." The puppeteer sneered and manipulated the steel giant to stride towards the aristocratic block.No matter what tricks the other party is hiding, it is meaningless in the face of the absolute power gap. Now that he has broken the pot and smashed it directly by relying on brute force, he doesn't want to reason with anyone at all.

The puppeteer is not an indecisive person either, he chose to move on without much thought.However, just as the giant's footsteps were about to step into the noble block, the ground under its feet suddenly trembled slightly.This kind of trembling is not violent, it is like the earth quietly waking up, and a little lazy.The puppeteer felt the tremor keenly, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

This kind of arrogance immediately cost him, before the giant's next foot was raised, a stream of light suddenly burst out from under his feet, spreading in all directions.This is not an offensive magic, but a trigger trap.A giant magic circle with a diameter of more than ten meters emerged on the ground, just wrapping the steel giant in the center.

The battle between Diana and the puppeteer lasted for nearly 10 minutes, which was enough time for a spellcaster to prepare no matter what.And a well-prepared caster will become the most troublesome opponent.It only took Tiana a minute to formulate the framework of the entire plan, and for the rest of the time, she hid on the only way to escape to build her own magic field.

The steel giant shook his head, wanting to move on, but he couldn't lift his feet. Dozens of thorns with the thickness of a bowl and made of light grew from the center of the magic circle, and quickly clung to the steel giant's ankles.

As we all know, if you want to deal with a huge humanoid creature, the most important thing is to control its speed of action. The obsidian-built Titan specially used for war will not have this problem. Except for the outer magic shield, it itself The obsidian body is also excellent protection.However, the steel giant temporarily created by the puppeteer is all made of metal trash, and there will inevitably be inappropriate gaps in the body. When the ray thorns crawled in, the resistance caused to him increased by more than one. times.

At the same time, on the periphery of the magic circle, 24 magic power nodes were lit at the same time, and the dazzling light arrows bloomed like stamens. After pulling away from the distance, they flipped flexibly in mid-air, absorbing the energy of the sun in the sky, and continued to grow. .When they turned back, each light arrow evolved into a giant light snake with a diameter of more than one meter. The 24 light snakes gathered together, as terrifying as the ancient monster Hydra. The giant snake lowered its head and locked the ground The Iron Giant.

The blooming flowers of light once again illuminated the sky of Sword Castle, and such a gorgeous scene could be seen even outside the city walls.In the exile camp, Laurana stared at the vision in the sky and frowned.

In an inconspicuous tent in a refugee settlement, a sneaky man in a cloak trembled and knocked the teacup in his hand to the ground. He ignored the tea spilled on his body and just stared at The sky of Jianbao muttered to himself: "Snake of Dancing Light... a feast for snakes!"

The light snake hovered in the sky at a seemingly slow speed, and the steel giant on the ground did not sit still.The puppeteer let out a roar, and the steel giant half-kneeled on the ground, his back swelled, and countless sharp iron thorns grew out of his shoulders.Taking advantage of this opportunity when he bowed his head, the light snake in the sky seemed to have received the attack signal, and rushed straight down without any hesitation.

The ground trembled again, this time it was the explosion caused by the light snake falling to the ground, which made the whole sword castle tremble.The continuous 24 muffled loud noises shook the soldiers on the city wall so that they couldn't stand still.The place where the steel giant was originally located was bombed out of a huge pit with a radius of tens of meters and a bottomless pit, and even the surrounding noble houses were hit by the catastrophe.Of course Tiana has no friendship with the nobles of Sword Castle, and it's not her turn to take the blame for this, so naturally she has no scruples in attacking.

In the attic of a building in the distance, Tiana's face was as pale as paper. In addition to the sequelae caused by overdrawing her mental power, what worried her even more was that such a huge destructive effect did not come from her magic.This is a trick she created herself and became famous because of it. Only three points of it are real magic, and the remaining seven points are light and shadow magic that scares people.

But the puppeteer didn't know this, his first reaction when he saw such a bluff would be to go all out.Tiana's original intention was to consume his remaining physical strength, but she didn't expect this guy to hide so deeply, and he still had reservations in the battle just now, so that the damage caused by his counterattack far exceeded Tiana's expectations.

From just now, every step of Tiana's plan has achieved the expected goal, but at this most critical moment, an accident occurred.The magic released just now has exposed her appearance, and with the puppeteer still able to spare, she has no hope of escaping.

It's not Tiana's character to give up at this point. When the girl realized that the plan had failed, she teleported herself out without hesitation.However, the moment she stepped out of the space door, two metal barbs suddenly appeared from behind her, pierced her body, and dragged her back to the attic where she was originally.

Before the dizziness of the failed teleportation passed, the stabbing pain in her waist forced Tiana to wake up. When she raised her head, she saw an old blood-stained face staring at her fiercely.

"You just said that you would hold me back for 3 minutes, and you really have a bit of confidence. But I'm curious, what does 3 minutes mean to you?"

The injury on the body became more and more serious, and the blood was almost drained, but the expression of the doll master calmed down. He brought the girl to him and asked in a low voice.

"In 3 minutes, you will leave." Tiana took a breath and said affirmatively.

"Lovely girl, I found that I began to appreciate your talent and humor." The dollmaker grinned ferociously, and reached out to touch the scar on Tiana's face.
