I'm not that kind of orc

"However, I still have a little experience and I feel that it can be used universally." I put the battle ax in front of me and stepped back, keeping my eyes on the synthetic beast.

"What?" Feilan looked at me in surprise.

"Capture the thief first and capture the king." After I finished speaking, I quickly summoned the "Shadow Spear" with the help of the spell on the pitch-black battle axe, and then violently controlled it to mediate with the composite beast, which had been watching with great interest. Our sprite projected past.

Our capture plan didn't expect to meet this monster at all, so we didn't prepare corresponding countermeasures at all.We currently lack the means to kill this synthetic beast. According to this body proportion, it is really difficult for ordinary spells and weapons to cause fatal damage to it. The vitality of the wild beast is very strong. Most of the synthetic beasts fused with giant beasts have also inherited this point, so there may be a lot of casualties between the whole front and its toughness.Since the elf mage can control the synthetic beast, it is the best policy to subdue him first and then force him to let the synthetic beast calm down.

Borrowing the incantation of the pitch-black battle ax, I don't need to recite incantations to construct the "Shadow Spear", and the spear is projected at a very fast speed, no less than a bow and arrow.However, this surprise attack did not work in the end. When the "Shadow Spear" approached the elf, a strange black giant hand suddenly stretched out from his shadow, grabbed the "Shadow Spear", and stopped forcibly it.

"Do you think I'm defenseless in the face of so many people?" The elf smiled triumphantly, and raised his left hand to this side, wearing a dark ring on his finger.

"The devil's ring..." Roland's voice suddenly sounded.

"What ring?" I asked subconsciously.

"The devil's ring, as the name suggests, is a magical tool for summoning demons from the abyss. It is used to replace the magic circle of the summoning ceremony. Both low-level demons and high-level demons can be summoned, but like all black magic, you need to pay a price Yes, the stronger the demon to be summoned, the higher the price will be, if the mana is not enough to pay, then a sacrifice will be required."

"That means that hand..." I narrowed my eyes.

"It's the hand of the shadow demon. If you only summon such a hand from the shadow, you only need to consume a little magic power. Be careful, this person is very dangerous!" Roland reminded earnestly.

"It seems that it will take some work to get this guy out..." After I finish talking, I turned my head to look at Arsena, "Arsena, can you find a way to hold back that disfigured monster?"

Here we must take full advantage of the large number of people, a group of people and synthetic beasts mediate, and a group of people subdue this damned elf.

Arsena noticed my eyes, and quickly understood what I meant, and began to issue orders: "Open the encirclement line, hold back and fight! Attack this monster and hold it back!"

"Yes! Your Highness!" The town guards she brought and several knights who were the captains responded in unison.

At the same time, I saw that the shape of those knights began to change: the thick animal hair grew rapidly, the already strong body swelled up, and the face and mouth elongated and changed into a beast shape—they were exactly when Vikas stayed in the castle The subordinates Arsena dispatched seemed to be werewolves who were the elite combat forces in the knight order.

"For the glory of His Highness! Aww!" They uttered a rough cry and rushed towards the synthetic beast.

Demons and Amalgams (1)

The battle started, and the werewolf knights spread out to besiege the synthetic beast from different directions, constantly harassing the target with agile movements and precise coordination, and then dodging its counterattack.The werewolf Angelica also participated in this kind of melee attack. Although she couldn't cooperate with the knights, as a female werewolf, her movements were lighter and nimbler, which was very suitable for this kind of harassment combat.

The rest of the guards opened up the skirmish line under the command of the knights, and began to try to use long-distance means such as bows and arrows to participate in the attack.Princess Alyssa also hid in the woods, and used enchanted arrows to shoot and suppress the synthetic beast—of course, these methods basically couldn't cause any fatal damage to the monster, so they could only delay it for a while to distract it. That's all.

And we have to seize this opportunity to subdue this elf mage.

"Alsena, go over there and command them." I called to Arsena.

"No, it would be more appropriate for Mr. Wikas' subordinates to lead the guards themselves. They have much more actual combat experience than me." Arsena raised her warhammer, staring straight at the elf Mage, "And I think my role here will be greater."

"Her Highness Alsena is right. This mage has that kind of magic item in his hand. It seems that he is using black magic to use demons. As a paladin, her participation in the battle here will benefit us." Roland also told me. persuaded.

I looked at the elf mage who had been grinning strangely, and then at our side—I, Feilan and Arsena, the guards and the knights who were originally scattered here were following Arsena's instructions. Go down and contain the monster, and the remaining side is a three-on-one situation.

"I haven't fought this type of mage seriously. I said you are also a mage. Do you have any tricks to fight a mage?" I asked in a low voice to the owl on my shoulder.

The experience of beating that stupid girl Feilan can't be used as a reference.

"You asked me this question, which makes me feel a little delicate..." Roland replied calmly, "Generally speaking, no matter how powerful a mage is, there is a limit to his casting speed and mana reserve, and it will be very difficult to fight a war of attrition or a pre-emptive raid." It's easy to kneel down."

"It's no longer possible to win first, and you have seen it." I stared at the giant demon hand protruding from his shadow, "Is it only possible to fight a war of attrition?"

"I'm afraid this won't work either." To my surprise, Roland vetoed it.

"Why?" I couldn't help being confused.

"Black magic can transform living things into magic power, have you forgotten?"

"Don't you think that this guy can swallow an entire forest and turn it into his own magic power?" I thought of the demon sword spirit I had dealt with in the past, and couldn't help feeling nervous.

"It's impossible to use that kind of ritual sacrifice spell with personal strength, and the devil's ring can't store such a huge amount of magic power like the desolation contract, but he has a sacrifice that can be used in his hand."

"What?" I didn't understand.

Sacrifice... Where did this elf mage get the sacrifice from?Haven't the hostages been rescued by us?

At this time, the elf mage spoke. "To deal with so many people..." He suddenly clenched his left finger wearing the devil's ring and pointed in one direction, "It will be really difficult if you don't eat your fill first."

At the same time, multiple screams of howling ghosts and howling wolves suddenly sounded—he pointed at the thieves who were captured by the guards and gathered together.They are now surrounded by a strange black mist, and their expressions are all inexplicably painful as if they are in a frying pan.Immediately after that, I saw these helpless human beings "melt" there—flesh, flesh, and bones all turned into mud-like magical power, flowing into the shadows under them, and the shadows quickly moved along the ground It flows to the Elven Mage, and is finally sucked into the ring.

The elf mage refined these men he hired as sacrifices into magic power using black magic.

"It is estimated that he has used the devil's ring to impose the 'Lamb Pact' on those people." Roland said.

"Tsk! You really shouldn't have brought people here!" Feilan, who was the most impatient, complained to Arsena, raised her hand directly, and chanted a few syllables of the spell, and in an instant, a flame formed Serpents appeared around her.

I was a little surprised when I saw it - the spells used by this girl seemed to be stronger than when we fought together with her before.

However, when the long flaming snake bounced up and rushed towards the elf mage, this time his shadow spewed out like a pool of water stirred up by a boulder falling from a high place, turning it into a barrier to protect it, and the long snake The barrier shattered and turned into flames to envelop it, but the persistent barrier could never hurt the target.

"With the magic power of so many sacrifices, he can summon the entire shadow demon as a guard. Ordinary long-distance attacks are useless against him." Roland's voice sounded, and the demon owl on my shoulder turned its head 120 degrees. Looking behind him, "Shadow demons can move between shadows, be careful of your own shadows... Brock is behind you!"

I didn't need her to remind me to capture the movement behind me.

At the same time as a coolness flashed across my back, I swung my battle ax reflexively, turned around and slashed behind me, and slashed firmly the giant black claw protruding from my shadow.The claw was almost broken in two by my slash, but I didn't hear any screams. After the giant claw was severely injured, it quickly withdrew into my shadow.

At the same time, I caught a glimpse of Alsena swinging her warhammer round and hitting her back—what she hit was a huge black head with a bloody mouth that suddenly flashed out of her shadow. The shape of that head was a bit like They are lizards and snakes, but they have no other facial features except the mouth. When they jump out of the shadows, they look like giant crocodiles bursting out to prey in the swamp, with rows of terrifying fangs in their mouths.After it was hit by Arsena's war hammer, it didn't have the chance to retract like the giant claw that was cut by me. Instead, it exploded into a cloud of black mist - obviously the destructive power of Arsena's attack on it. Much more effective than the normal slash I hit.

"Ugh!!"

The scream came suddenly, and as soon as I turned my head, I saw Feilan's waist was firmly grasped by the giant claws protruding from her shadow, her eyes widened in panic and pain.Also dealing with this kind of surprise attack, her reaction speed is not as fast as Alsena and I who have experienced combat training.

Seeing that the giant claw was about to crush her ribs and internal organs, I threw the battle ax in my hand directly in a hurry, and the swirling battle ax accurately hit the giant claw's wrist, cutting it off directly.The claws holding Feilan's waist dissipated into black mist, and the stumped demon arm retracted.

After escaping death, Feilan took a few steps away in a panic after standing still, but she soon realized that this movement was meaningless—because shadows would follow people around.

I feel tricky.

Being able to summon an attack on us directly from the shadow is simply impossible to defend against.

We have to quickly find some means to break through that protection and kill that mage!

Demons and Amalgams (2)

Arsena suddenly smashed the war hammer to the ground, runes appeared on the hammer head, and a field quickly expanded around her.

"Come to my side, you two, as long as you have the protection of the Hammer of Glory, that demon will not be able to sneak up from the shadows!" Alsena shouted to us.

While it sounds good, it's hardly a good idea.

Arsena's range of protection is not large, and it's a little bit reluctant to protect three people. If they are gathered together, they will not only sacrifice the advantage of numbers, but also greatly affect their mobility. All other attacking magic is taken away in one pot.

You have to think about other methods. To prevent that demon from sneaking in from the shadow, the best way...is to start with your own shadow!

I immediately thought of an idea, set off and rushed towards Feilan, preparing to retrieve the tomahawk stuck in the ground, but I threw off Roland's familiar owl and flew into the air with wings flapping.

But before that, I stopped in front of Feilan, who was still wary of my shadow, and while she looked up at me in surprise, I leaned over He picked her up and carried her on his shoulders.

"Eh? Hey! What are you doing all of a sudden!?" Naturally, the golden-haired girl immediately kicked my shoulder in panic, "Is this the time for sexual harassment?"

"Mr. Bullock, what are you doing!?" Even Arsena was dumbfounded.

But I didn't care about their reactions at all, I carried Feilan back to retrieve my battle axe, and at the same time shouted at her: "Use the invisibility spell!"

"Huh?" She froze for a moment.

"There is no shadow after using your spell to become invisible! Quick!" After I explained, I slashed hard with the ax at the claw protruding from the shadow again, knocking it back.

"Ah!" Feilan finally understood what I meant, and immediately struggled vigorously again, "No, then, there is no need to use such a shameful posture!"

"Stop complaining! Do you feel more comfortable being pinched by that paw and vomiting blood than being carried by me? Well, do it quickly!" I urged mercilessly.

"Tsk, you are really... why do I feel like you are using me as a spell scroll?" Feilan grumbled and finally chanted the spell.

Soon, I felt the scene in front of me distort for a moment, and then I saw our shadows disappear from the ground.

Great, so you don't have to worry about that sort of raid.

"Hey, since we are invisible like this, isn't that muscular girl left alone to deal with that pervert's attack?" Feilan whispered suddenly.

As she said, after we disappeared from the vision of the elf mage, he immediately focused on Arsena. Obviously he didn't care that he couldn't see us—after all, he still had the power of the shadow demon. Protect yourself.

He raised his left hand, and the demon ring activated again. A huge black pool unfolded in front of him, and then a big demon crawled out of it. Its body shape was like a giant ape with long arms, but its head It was a lizard with horns and eyes all over its face, even if it was lying on the ground, it was a full two meters high.Huge and twisted forelimbs with blade-like sharp claws, a pair of huge broken leather wings on the back, hind limbs covered with insect-like carapaces, and long tails with terrifying spikes, looking very ferocious.

"It's a horned demon." Roland's voice sounded in his head.

"I don't know if the color of Her Royal Highness Princess Helgia's blood is different from ordinary people..." The elf mage smiled and pointed his left hand at Alsena, "Go, tear her apart!"

The demon slowly crawled towards Arsena, Arsena sank her face with a tense face, and held the warhammer tightly in front of her body.

"Tsk, I have to help her!" I gripped my tomahawk tightly.

"Hey, you don't want to just carry me and rush over like this!?" Feilan made a panicked voice, she seemed a little afraid of that demon's creepy appearance.

"Please, Alsena, it's dangerous. Is this the time for you to be afraid? Why have you always looked like this? How long are you going to be timid?" The most unbearable thing for me is to retreat like this, Couldn't help saying a few words to her.

This girl is always like this. She pushes her head when she shouldn't, and shrinks her head when she should.

"Woo... I, I..." She didn't refute.

"Okay, you don't have to argue about this kind of thing." Roland's voice suddenly sounded, "Don't worry, it's just a mid-level demon, and His Royal Highness Alsena can deal with it."

At this time, the horned demon launched a swift pounce on Arsena, its claws stretched suddenly, and the opened giant jaw was covered with sawtooth-like fangs. It seemed that even a bison would tear it apart instantly broken.

But at the moment it rushed into the field where Alsena opened, it suddenly seemed to have suffered some great pain, and its attack posture collapsed without warning—a strong spasm made it arch its body, and its claws also retracted. When he got up, there was a terrifying howl from the bloody mouth, which looked like a beast that had been splashed with boiling water.

Arsena didn't let go of this opportunity, and slammed the warhammer on its side face, knocking this sizable monster to the ground.

Then Arsena raised the shimmering warhammer and began to thump the fallen demon fiercely.

"Ha! Come on, don't you want to tear me into pieces? Why did you lie down all at once? Get up!" She mercilessly beat the helpless demon while grinning boldly.

...Who is the devil?

I was speechless for a while.

Even the elf mage was stunned, apparently he never expected that his summons would be so useless.

I can deal with a monster of this physique, but I'm afraid it will take a few rounds to deal with it. Arsena actually knocked it down in one go. It seems that the power of the paladin is indeed quite suppressed by the demon. effect.

"Don't worry about her, you just need to concentrate on taking care of that elf mage." Roland reminded us.

"But that guy has an all-round protective shield, and even the ground under his feet is covered with a layer of black shadows. What attack methods can penetrate that layer of protection?" I frowned.

"Look carefully, his feet are still firmly on the ground." Roland said with a smile, "He is still under the force of gravity, if the force is multiplied several times at once..."

"Earth binding technique!" Feilan came to her senses.

"I see." I remembered the gravity-enhancing attack spell that the golden-haired girl had used before, and I understood, "Then I'll be in charge of making some moves to attract his attention, and you'll be in charge of finishing him with one shot, let's do it!"
