Our family is in decline

"This wild corruption is not without reason. The ugliness and horror here arise from it."

Lance's words were equivalent to explaining to others that the source of this crisis was the ugly witch in front of them.

"This must completely remove the corruption!" Lance shouted loudly, raised his hand, and the power of [Blessing] circulated among the team, directly bringing everyone into an optimal state.

Several people were ready for battle. Disma turned sideways and raised his musket to aim at the enemy in the distance. Leonard's long sword was raised and ready to charge. Barristan raised his shield and took steady steps.

That Wangcai kept silent and moved forward with a slightly lowered figure. His calm eyes showed that he was ready to hunt.

But the witch didn't care at all about their intrusion, and even had an exaggerated smile on her face. Her long, inhuman tongue stretched out across her big mouth, and her eyes revealed hunger and greed.

"That's great. The materials delivered to your door will allow you to see my most perfect creation."

Hearing this, Lance couldn't help but feel uneasy. The old witch has a corrupt giant, the evil woman in the forest has a necrotic fungus, and even the banshee created by her has four special parasites around her. The school has its own inheritance. You don't need to think about it to know that witches are definitely not that simple.

Sure enough, as this sound fell, the huge mushrooms around them seemed to be touched, stirring up an exaggerated spore cloud. The terrifying density even obscured the line of sight, making everything around the team fall into haze.

"Wow wow wow! You don't think they can save you..."

When the witch saw this scene, she even let out an inhuman laugh, then continued to scoop up the soup that was left at the bottom of the pot and poured it on the big cocoon.

The vision of the few people trapped in the spore smoke was restricted. Disma waved the torch in his hand to disperse the spores, but at this moment, the spores seemed to be stirred by something.

"Disma, be careful!" Lance, who had opened his spiritual vision, shouted as if he had discovered something.

The moment he finished speaking, a thick unknown object penetrated the smoke and struck towards Disma.

The rapid attack did not even allow Disma to react. At this moment, a figure stood in front of him. The attack that should have fallen on him was blocked by Barristan with his shield.

In the next second, Barristan was knocked away by the powerful force of the attack, and Disma behind him was also dragged to the ground.

Lose balance, lose confidence...

What kind of terrifying power is this? It is definitely not something that humans can compete with!

"Are you okay?" Lance hurried over and stood in front of the two of them, looking back from time to time.

In fact, Disma was okay, he was not hurt and just fell to the ground, but Barristan was not so good.

He was injured by the power of the invisible attack, but what was even more terrifying was that the metal riveted on the shield was actually corroded by unknown slime.

If this hit really hit Disma, it would probably penetrate his body directly, and his internal organs would be corroded by the mucus, and he would eventually die in agony.

Fortunately, Lance was here, and with a [Flesh and Flesh Reconstruction], Barristan's shield-holding left arm was restored, and his trembling hand finally stabilized.

This period of time also allowed the spores in the air to dissipate, and at this time they finally saw what was attacking them just now.

It was an indescribably terrifying creature that looked like a snail without a shell. It was at least three meters tall, and its length was estimated to be five or six meters long.

The upper body is a mushroom-shaped body that has been completely eroded by fungi. There is a cap directly on the head, and human bones can be vaguely seen on it.

The monster's torso below the neck was wrapped in two flaps of fungus, and the thick edges were everted, slightly revealing the deep darkness inside, giving people an inexplicable pressure.

The second half is a slug-like body, and the back is covered with mushrooms of different sizes, but they are larger than all the parasites seen before.

So twisted and insane - a powerful testament to the power of corruption!

The attacker shocked several people as soon as he appeared. This was an enemy they could not imagine, let alone fighting such a monster.

I can't think of any way to defeat the monster...

That is to say, their determination after going through so many things is still good, otherwise ordinary people would be scared to death when they see it, instead of thinking about whether they can defeat it.

But this did not include Lance, who raised his giant sword and shouted.

"The road to salvation is at hand!"

Several people's eyes shifted to the back of the figure standing in the front, and they all instantly escaped from the panic caused by the monster, and strengthened their confidence.

"Fuck it brothers!"

"Let's fight side by side!"

"The scorching sun will clear away all corruption!"

Lance didn't want to talk nonsense. He preferred to prove it through practice. He directly picked up the giant sword and rushed towards the monster.

This thing looks huge, but it is obviously difficult to move. Otherwise, why didn't you continue to attack when you had such a good opportunity just now?

The huge monster also squirmed towards the team. When the two approached, it opened its two thick lobes of bacteria and protruded from its chest with a terrifying and weird meat-column mouthpart.

That thing can be as thick as a bucket, and its end is like an octopus's mouthparts, which is a disc with sharp teeth. The edges are divided into messy tiny branches of meat, which are covered with that weird mucus.

It was this thing that attacked Disma just now, but luckily it was blocked by Barristan.

But Lance was already fully focused, not to mention the way he met the maid in advance already made him understand that there must be something hidden inside, so how could he be hurt by this?

Even his frontal sprint was intentionally guided, and he was waiting for this moment.

Faced with the incoming mouthpiece, Lance directly thrust the giant sword in front of him, but instead of blocking it horizontally with the broad blade, he thrust it vertically, pointing the blade towards himself and the monster's. Mouthparts.

The moment the mouthpart hit the blade, an exaggerated force was felt. The giant sword plowed a mark on the ground. Lance finally understood why Barristan couldn't stop it just now.

But it was precisely this force that caused the ends of the mouthparts to be directly separated on both sides. This was caused by it hitting it on its own.

Pain does not belong to these monsters, but the injury still makes it go crazy. The mouthparts are about to be retracted, but Lance will not let it escape just like that. He quickly follows up, and the giant sword stuck on the ground follows suit. As his feet were pulled out, he twisted his waist and used his strength to chop at it with his backhand.

It's just that the sharpness of the giant sword is average, and the mucus on the mouthparts greatly weakens the power. Coupled with the tough fibrous structure, it does not cut off, but only cuts a wound.

But don't forget that Lance is never alone, and others are not decorations.

Leonard seized the opportunity and rushed forward, not caring to hold back his hand and struck the wound with all his strength.

[Certificate of Champions] once again proved why he was called this name, directly cutting off the thick mouthparts.

The broken half-mouthpart fell to the ground and squirmed wildly, and light yellow mucus could be seen flowing out from the incision, which was actually corroded by the bacteria blanket on the ground.

When Leonard saw this, he quickly swung his precious long sword to shake off the remaining mucus.

Fortunately, the surface of the long sword has been specially treated and is highly resistant to corrosion. Leonard applies oil and maintains it himself, so even if it is stained with corrosive slime, it will not cause any serious problems.

But the problem is that the banshee was not at all restless after being injured just now. Soon the banshee showed everyone the secret under the skirt.

The two fibrous flaps that stretched to the chest opened to the abdomen, revealing the indescribable mushroom aggregate inside, and a strong spore emerged with the agitation.

Could it be that the spore smoke just now was sprayed out by it?

"Disma Torch!"

Lance shouted, and then threw the thing in his hand towards the banshee.

He must not let the team fall into the crisis just now.

Upon seeing this, Disma did not hesitate to draw the pistol from his waist and aim at the thrown clay pot.

"boom!"

There was a gunshot and the clay pot cracked open, scattering gray-black smoke and dust from the air. The clay pot turned out to be gunpowder.

The gunpowder was mixed with the spores in front of the monster, and Disma had already thrown the torch out at this time.

"Stab it!"

When the flame came into contact with the mixed smoke and dust, it instantly sparked a dazzling flame, and a large cloud of white gunpowder smoke rose up to remove the spores.

Although there was no explosion damage, the high temperature at that moment burned the monster, causing it to squirm wildly, and its body was crumbling.

In the past, it took a large and dense spore cloud in a short period of time to cause a dust explosion, but now in the open wilderness, the spore density is far from that level, making it difficult to ignite it directly.

Lance naturally made arrangements for this. Can't I just add more ingredients?

"Monster, try the power of gunpowder!" Seeing the monster's miserable state, Disma's pressure was greatly relieved.

The exploding fire couldn't help but attract the attention of the witch on the other side. When the spore cloud covering the team's heads was burned away, she realized that her most perfect creation was damaged.

"No! Damn rats."

The witch roared, and regardless of the large tattered thorn cocoon that was scattered in front of her eyes with only a thin layer left, and you could even see the contents inside, she directly raised the spoon and pointed it at the monster.

The frantic monster was instantly calmed down by some kind of force, but in the next second, a strange force emitted from the monster.

Lance, who was at the forefront, immediately became alert. His super spiritual perception allowed him to detect the vicious curse that had befallen him, but he was directly exempted from it under the influence of [Shelter].

But just because he is immune doesn't mean that others are immune as well.

"Retreat quickly!"

Although several people didn't understand why the adults would let go of the good opportunity to pursue the victory, they started to execute it without any hesitation.

It's a pity that extraordinary power cannot be judged by common sense. The three of them fell directly into the curse, and powerful despair impacted their will.

Lance knew he was in trouble when he saw them suddenly stunned and looking troubled, and none of them could escape.

But the enemy would not stop. The monster squirmed forward, trying to devour the desperate people.

At this moment, Lance was a little confused holding the sword. What should he do?

Is this situation caused by a witch or a monster? How to break it?

And at this moment, the previously disappeared banshee appeared in front of him and raised her hand to point at the monster.

At the same time, a light voice reached my ears.

"ax……"

Lance's thinking reaction was so sharp, he realized something instantly.

He took out the ax he had obtained before and threw it towards the monster without any hesitation.

He had not practiced throwing axes specifically, but the target was too big, and with the full burst of his brute strength, the hand ax directly hit the monster.

At this moment, the curse attached to everyone was broken, and several people were separated from that desperate state. They all had pale faces and were breathing heavily. They didn't know what they had experienced in these few seconds.

"The monsters' abilities are sealed, and they still can't defeat us!"

Lance raised his hand to bless them to refresh their status, but his attention also shifted from the monster in front of him to the manic witch.

"The enemy can't sit still anymore. I'll deal with the witch while you guys deal with this monster."

Lance made an immediate decision not to let the witch react and attack others. No one except him could resist the witch's weird methods.

After saying that, he rushed out alone without waiting for anyone else's reaction.

The power of blessing circulated in their bodies, and a glimmer of hope sprouted in their hearts shrouded by despair, and then exploded in an instant to clear away fear.

It was precisely because they had experienced that kind of despair that they believed even more in the tremendous pressure placed on the lord standing in front of them.

As long as the lord is here, there is no monster that cannot be defeated!

If a few people were still afraid of this huge monster at the beginning, their fear was greatly reduced at this moment.

Several people rushed up directly. Leonard went up and charged with his sword. He pierced the monster's body with his sword, then drew it out and slashed at the body, using the sharpness of the sword to cut directly into a palm deep.

On the other side, Disma hurriedly walked around to the side of the monster, pulled out his musket, pressed it against it, and fired.

Driven by gunpowder, the projectile explodes with powerful force and directly tears through the solid surface, and even penetrates hard into it.

This blow caused the banshee to let out a fierce scream. Disma didn't even know where its vocal organs came from, but it showed no mercy.

He pulled out the dagger with his backhand, inserted it and stirred it, then dragged the dagger along the damaged wound to open a larger wound.

Barristan moved forward to pick up the torch he had just thrown, then went around to the other side and held the torch up to burn the mushrooms growing on his back. When encountering the flames, the mushrooms on his body began to react and spit out spores, but were burned in an instant. .

The continuous injuries made the banshee become aggressive, but a section of its mouthparts was chopped off, and the spore-producing mushroom in front of it was scorched, so the means of attack became limited.

But being called the most perfect creature by witches, the Banshee obviously has more than this.

Facing the surrounding enemies, it finally opened its bottom two flaps, revealing that inside the slug-like body was a rotting corpse with only the upper body left, and a monster whose lower body was completely integrated into the body of the banshee.

Countless rotting corpses crawled out from under the hem of her skirt, and as soon as they came out, they wildly danced their countless arms in an attempt to catch them.

"Oh! What the hell is this?"

"I can't let them catch me~"

"What a blasphemy!"
