Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 428: Last hit

At the same moment when all the puppets were destroyed, Lawrence saw the priests around him spit out a mouthful of blood. Because they just kept adding their own defenses to the defenses of those puppets, as a result, they were directly injured by the magic backlash after those defenses were destroyed.

After breaking through the puppet's defense, the monster ran into the Paladin's defense as quickly as possible. Although the Paladins, you have built a line of defense as much as possible. But these flesh and blood bodies are no stronger than those puppets. In the first round of collision, the paladins blocked the monster's siege with the support of the priests' magical skills that slowed down after drinking the medicine, but then the two holy knights of the Earth Mother who were holding shields in the front line directly blocked the siege. He was hit by two tentacles growing from the monster and flew up.

You know, the paladins of the Mother Earth are known for their strong defense power among various paladins. Especially the two Paladins who were originally blocked in the center line now being beaten up belong to the kind of Paladins who majored in defense-related directions. After covering their bodies with a layer of earth and stone armor, they are at least two stories high, and their defensive capabilities are close to that of more advanced transcendents. But even so, they flew up like paper when faced with monster attacks.

And it may be because the current monster realizes that such an offense is infeasible for it to die, so it struggled with huge losses and added white mist infused with the gods to its limbs. So after being struck by those tentacles, the earth and stone armors of the two Paladins shattered at the same time, and at the same time, they fell to the ground and vomited blood. It seems that it will not recover for a while.

However, unlike the puppets, the Paladins immediately changed their strategy after realizing that they could not head-on. At first, Lawrence was worried that they would be wiped out by the monsters soon, but soon he found that the Paladins had smoothly tied the monsters and dragged the monsters to more than 20 meters in front of him.

To be able to do this, apart from all the paladins and priests present who died, the most important thing was that everyone had roughly confirmed their identities from the clues found by Lawrence before coming, so these members from the church carried Many targeted magic items. And with the help of these powerful props, the two sides have fought back and forth for a while.

But everyone in the room knew that because of the huge difference between the two sides. Even if the targeted magic props help this balance cannot be maintained for too long, the on-site divine magic ceremony still takes a minute or two to complete. This makes the current situation on the court a race of time.

For Lawrence and the others, they only need to withstand the monster's attack for the next one or two minutes. Wait until the magic ceremony is over. The power of the gods can completely solve the monster in front of him. And the monster seems to be able to vaguely perceive this, so it will fight desperately at this time.

It was at this time that Nora changed her attack method. Because she found that her attack even caused a lot of damage to the opponent, but now the monster is ready to destroy the more and more intense magic rituals above the mountain, basically ignoring Nora's blow from the rear.

She saw her hands danced quickly in front of her chest to interweave a piece of silver-green light, and then these lights flew behind her to form a palm-sized magic circle. When the magic circle was in place, they instantly turned into pocket javelins with obvious barbs, and then flew to the monster that was entangled with the Paladins.

These javelins smoothly penetrated the monster's outer defenses, but unlike the previous direct explosions, these javelins quickly grew out of a large number of side branches like roots, entangled with the messy structure of the monster body, and hung dead. The monster's body.

Then, the tails of these javelins exposed outside of the monster’s body showed wisps of silver-green interwoven light connected to Nora’s hands, and then the little doll fell directly from the sky to the ground. One end went backwards quickly, until the rays of light broke straight like a real rope.

At this moment, a paladin was struggling to raise a shield trying to block the forelegs that the opponent had dropped. But after holding up the shield and waiting for several seconds, he didn't feel the imaginary attack, so he moved the shield slightly and looked up. As a result, I saw the monster holding up his forelimbs and twisting desperately.

The Paladin was naturally a little curious about what the monster in front of him was doing, so he carefully observed it. Soon he found those pocket javelins cast by light on the monster, and the silk thread formed by the light behind the javelin. Obviously, these threads and the javelin confine the monster's activities together.

"How do you feel now?" Watching Nara drag the monster back hard. Lawrence asked concerned through the soul connection. At least in his opinion, the size of the little doll and the monster is very different, and he is a little worried that the little doll may not be able to support it and get hurt like those constructed puppets.

"It should last for tens of seconds." Just as she passed this message, the monster began to struggle. Nora did not have a hard top, but danced on the ground like a dance. At the same time, with the help of these gestures, the silk threads that connect him and the monster were lengthened or shortened, and the monster's actions were firmly controlled.

Seeing this opportunity, all those who were able to move in the room tried their best to attack the monster. Only this time their target was placed on the tentacles under the monster's body. In the fire of everyone, the monsters who had basically given up their defenses had their tentacles used to move under their bodies and were broken.

In this situation, after trying for a while and realizing that he could not break free of these threads, the monster made a scream again, and then the whole body swelled up suddenly, and countless tiny spikes made of white mist also At the same time it shot in all directions.

Although these spikes are made of white mist, at this moment, they are as hard as steel, and even carry a sharp howling sound when flying in the air. More importantly, even Lawrence could feel the power contained in these spikes.

The paladins and priests on the front line even clearly felt the feeling of death knocking on the door~lightnovelpub.net~ This forced them to temporarily give up the siege of monsters and adopt a stance of avoidance or defense. Meet the blow.

"Clang—" When the first spike touched a paladin's shield, there was a violent noise. At the same time, the face of the Paladin behind the shield changed drastically. This is not because the spike is strong to a certain extent, but because the spike is menacing and full of momentum, but after hitting his shield, it is not as strong as imagined, and it is touching his shield. In the first instant it dispersed into a cloud of mist.

"Be careful!" Upon seeing this, he immediately reminded the comrades beside him, but it was too late. Relying on this trick, the entire shell of the monster was directly abandoned, and then a small monster with only one third of the original monster rushed out of it and jumped straight up.

Obviously, after realizing that the ceremony above was almost complete. This monster abandoned most of its power and body successfully broke away from everyone's imprisonment on it, trying to deliver a desperate blow to the ceremony site above.

Just after the monster smashed the last magical barrier that the priests had put together, it rushed directly to the temporary sacrifice place on the mountain platform without stopping. But just a few meters away from where Lawrence and the others were, a barrier of light blocked its way.
