Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 426: decisive battle

Although with the support of heavy firepower, Lawrence and the others smoothly shattered the possibility that the monster wanted to fight quickly, but the problem was that although the opponent did not have ego and consciousness, some of the most basic consciousness still existed. For example, certain biological instincts. And as long as it is related to the power of the gods, even the most basic instincts will cause huge trouble.

For example, after two or three rounds of explosions, the monster that was blown up on the hillside to the ground again waited on the ground for a few seconds. Then I retracted the tentacles that had been exploded many times before and regrown many times, and then the whole thing looked like a dry dumpling covered with sesame seeds.

"It won't want to roll up." Nora floating in the air said with some curiosity, based on the current battle. Nora also discovered that the monster below might be much stronger than Lawrence and others in all aspects, but flightlessness is the biggest weakness of the giant monster below, so she was a little curious about what the other party wanted to do.

"Probably not." Lawrence said when he looked at the monster that was turning into a sphere that was being set on fire. Compared with the monster in the octopus state, this sphere monster should be more difficult to climb up the mountain. Although the monster's defense power has increased in this way, the opponent should be able to feel the increasingly stronger divine reaction of the priests on the mountain during the ceremony. In theory, they should rush to attack instead of being passively beaten like they are now.

But soon, after another pile of mortar shells mixed with seven or eight magic smashed down, the monsters that had been clumped up before suddenly dispersed. Of course, this was not blasted by Lawrence and the others. Instead, they scattered into countless small groups of insects shrouded in white mist and swarmed in the direction of Lawrence and them.

After dispersing like this, the biggest drawback is that the monster's original strong defense power has been greatly reduced. An 82mm mortar shell can easily wipe out a group of dozens of small beetles with a hint of white mist. But on the other hand, compared with the attack that was interrupted many times just now, this time the monster's attack has become more threatening.

At least Lawrence didn't think they could block hundreds of thousands of insects with such a small amount of people, and they could act very fast. More importantly, those white mist greatly weakened the effect of most attacks, especially the effect of splashing. Many shells or magic can only kill one or two groups of insects near the spot where they fall into the insect swarm, and the remaining insects can often survive these explosions and magic effects.

Moreover, after entering the mountains, the rugged terrain that hindered the monster from climbing has now become the best shelter for the monsters who disperse their attacks. A large number of attacks were all blocked by those mountains, causing most of the beetles to approach Lawrence and the others along with the white mist.

To make matters worse, before Lawrence and the others, because they perceive each other as a big guy. Therefore, the series of traps and obstacles set up are all aimed at large enemies. Therefore, it naturally seems to be difficult to use in the face of these small enemies that are scattered and advancing.

For example, magic traps such as the spear of ground fire or ground stab technique are obviously wasted in this environment. Although the former is powerful, its attack range is too small. It’s good to be able to attack thirty or forty bugs at a time, and the latter is at most killing single-digit beetles at the moment of launching the attack, and then just put the beetles on the new ones. Just a few seconds, the beetles will return to the attacking army.

"Fire, fire!" Lawrence shouted loudly. Fortunately, he considered that the opponent might send a swarm of insects as a harassment, so he dug a trench in front of him and added a lot of linseed oil produced by the astral plane. Moreover, these linseed oils were specially prepared and temporarily sacred by Lawrence using the power of Bai Ze.

After hearing Lawrence's shout, the two Paladins immediately took out a lighter from their arms and threw it into the trench. Then the two fire spots in the trench quickly spread to the surroundings, igniting the entire trench in just a few seconds, and a wall of fire with blue and white flames stood between the insect swarm and Lawrence.

From the perspective of naked eye observation, the overall tone of this fire wall is a bit like the flames of the dead. But if you look closely, you will find that this group of flames is brighter than the real undead flames, and the main body color is closer to white than the undead flames, which is mainly blue.

The most important thing is that this flame does not give people a feeling of coldness and death like the flames of undead, but makes people feel a kind of warm and holy power from it. Blocked by this flame with sacred power, the first group of beetles was successfully intercepted by this fire wall.

At the beginning, a group of insects tried to see if they could break through this flame barrier. But the power of the white color in the flames easily burned off the white mist attached to these insects. Then the power of the flame itself burned these insects into coke. After repeated attempts to kill five or six groups of insects, the remaining insects began to gather slowly in front of the wall of fire.

This Lawrence they created an excellent shooting window, just when the group of bugs gathered. Everyone began to release their own strengths in order to weaken each other as much as possible. However, due to various reasons, the effect of this wave of attacks was not as good as expected. With the gathering of those bugs, in the end, even an 81mm mortar shell could only kill single-digit bugs from this pile of beetles.

With all kinds of attacks, this group of bugs slowly gathered together. In the end it turned into a giant beetle that looked like a scorpion tail, mantis forelegs, and spider-like flexible limbs. Then the giant worm behind the wall of fire aimed the thorn on the tip of its tail at the wall of fire that blocked its way and released a large cloud of white mist.

After the mist floated on the wall of fire, it was compressed like cotton filled with water. Accompanied by a sizzling sound, the fire wall of at least two stories high before was set ablaze as if it had been poured in a large amount. The water went out piece by piece. When the wall of fire became only about one person high, the giant insect that this monster turned into directly rushed through the wall of fire.

Lawrence noticed that Bai Ze’s power had a significant additional killing effect on this monster that was obviously an evil lineup~lightnovelpub.net~ Even now this flame has been suppressed by the opponent with his own power for more than half, but the opponent is striving When he moved his eight legs across the only remaining wall of fire, he could see that the mist in the opponent's abdomen was burned by the flame and then a whole layer of mist disappeared. Many black beetles were completely burned into coke and fell on. To the ground.

"Three minutes, please hold on." A priest of the agricultural church in the rear shouted loudly. Because the other party was completely unaware, all the talents present could drag so long with extraordinary power that was significantly different by several levels. time. But now it seems that everyone has to fight hard for the last three minutes.

Lawrence noticed that the eyes of the priests and He's around him showed a look of determination, and at the same time some people's bodies lit up with various colors. As someone who grew up in the church, he found that these people were ready to sacrifice themselves. And these lights on them are the preparations for launching this divine art called dedication.

The only function of this magical technique is to ignite everything of oneself as fuel in exchange for extremely powerful power, which can make ordinary transcendents drastically upgrade one or two levels. The only flaw is that after the magical effect has passed, the caster is the lightest and requires a long time of cultivation, and in the worst case, some people will even fall directly during the battle.
