Our family is in decline

Lance could see the precursors of space fluctuations, but to Leonard and others, it was an unclean and abominable thing wearing a yellow robe that appeared out of thin air in front of the team.

The indescribable appearance shocked everyone, especially Barristan and Leonard.

On the contrary, because Disma had seen the twisted and stacked flesh and blood of the butler before, he had no impact on a skull like a monster.

"Don't panic, monsters are not rare in this land." Lance calmly stared at the enemy in front.

In fact, he recognized what the monster was as soon as it appeared.

In the game, as long as the player's backpack contains more than two-thirds of the items, there will be a probability of appearing, and it is a wandering boss in the entire area.

This guy floats outside the real space. His searching gaze sweeps over every adventurer like he is picking out products on a shelf. Once he has found a target, his weird body will emerge from the void, appearing in a strange way. He brutally kills adventurers with twisted methods, and then separates the head and spine to use as a container to imprison the victim's soul for his collection.

It is this characteristic of the monster that gives it its name - The Collector!

However, the strength of the collector is not too difficult in the game. Players who are familiar with the mechanism can easily kill this guy, and the dropped items are rich, so he is nicknamed "Philanthropist" among the player group.

Although he didn't know why the Collector appeared here, Lance had no intention of letting it go.

While loading ammunition, he gave tactical instructions, "The weak point is its head. Disma and I will shoot and attack, while Barristan and Leonard will protect us."

Although Lance is also very familiar with the collector's combat mechanism, this is reality, not a game. He did not rush to command melee combat, but chose long-range attacks.

Of course, another reason is that the location where the collector comes out is a bit far away from the team.

He was a little confused at first, but the Collector's next actions immediately made Lance understand why it appeared where it was.

Because the collector is in front of the alpha wolf, and he is not targeting himself, but the alpha wolf!

"Quick! Don't let it touch the body." Lance exclaimed when he realized something.

The collector's main means of combat is to control the collections that imprison the souls of the victims. These things contain the power of the victims during their lifetime.

If the alpha wolf becomes its collection and stands up again, it means that all his previous efforts have been wasted and he will have to deal with two powerful guys at the same time.

What's even more terrifying is that no one knows how many collections the collector has. Once it is under the protection of the alpha wolf, it will face terrifying human sea tactics.

Moreover, collectors are very picky and look down upon ordinary human heads. Only the heads of strong men are eligible to be part of its collection.

This also means that the strength of his collection is not inferior to that of the wolf, which will be a desperate scene.

No, we absolutely cannot let it succeed!

Lance raised his hand and fired, regardless of whether it hit or not, he rushed forward, which actually went against his own tactics.

Now was not the time to think about that, Lance knew he had to stop it from moving further.

Although it is safe at long range, it is easy to fall into passivity. If you get closer, even if it pulls the alpha wolf up, it will directly stab you in melee to exchange blood. Anyway, it depends on whether you have more collections or I have more gifts.

You are cruel!

I'm fucking crueler than you!

It was the first time that Disma and others were so excited to see Lance, but none of them had any intention of backing down. Disma rushed out directly.

"The power of holy light surges throughout my body..." Leonard had long since recovered and accelerated his steps. The power of the blessing just now was still flowing in his body.

Barristan is steady and fearless.

Lance's shot did indeed hit the collector, but the bullet sank into the yellow robe, and it didn't even move.

"Hey!" Although Lance had expected it, when he saw the failure, he understood that ordinary physical attacks would not do much damage to these strange monsters. They did not have the physiological structure of normal creatures, let alone the weird extraordinary power within them.

However, his attack managed to attract the Collector's attention, but he only glanced at it.

Although it has no face, you can still feel that it doesn't care about Lance and the others, just like people don't care about ants on the roadside.

Its hand was still close to the wolf, and it looked at the faint blue light in its palm. Was it trying to extract the soul of the wolf?

Seeing this scene, Lance's face turned gloomy and he could only run as hard as he could. The distance was too far and there was nothing he could do...

But what happened in the next second was completely beyond his expectation. An illusory wolf head suddenly appeared on the wolf corpse and roared silently. The light in the collector's hand went out, but then the wolf head also disappeared. dissipate.

This scene was seen by Lance, and when he sensed the turn of events, he drew his dagger and rushed forward without any hesitation.

The feeling of being ignored just now is accumulated in your heart, let you taste how painful an ant bite is!

Faced with the approaching Lance Collector, he finally took action, raised his hand, and made a strange sound under the yellow robe, like flesh and blood squirming and bones colliding.

Soon, a head whose face could no longer be seen flew out of the yellow robe, flying with the spine behind it in the air. However, in addition to the spine, several tentacle-like inhuman limbs grew under the head, following the movements of the head. Shake.

Immediately afterwards, the collection that originally only had the head and spine suddenly emitted a blue light, and then the fluorescence began to spread and expand along the spine, forming a torso, limbs, and even weapons as if growing.

An incomprehensible scene happened in front of Lance. In less than five seconds, a man with blue light stood on the field, and the position of his head and spine was exactly the same, as if he were a living person.

Weird, crazy, twisted...

Lance found it difficult to use words and vocabulary to describe the collector's ability. Is the blue light the soul of the victim? As for the tentacles wriggling in the blue light, they feel like the nerves that the brain controls the limbs.

Lance was filled with doubts, but the Collector had no intention of playing with him. The collection had already moved, waving the weapon condensed with blue light at Lance.

Lance was also startled by this thing. He raised the dagger in his hand instinctively to resist, but he never thought that the two collided and the non-physical touch returned from the sword edge. Before he could react, the weapon in his hand went straight through it. The Touru dagger slashed into his body.

The scene seemed to freeze at this moment, and Disma and others couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this scene.

"grown ups!"

"I'm going to kill you, unclean monster!"

"Damn it! Protect your lord quickly."
