Blood tax

Chapter 214 Three-on-Three Regiment Battle Part One
This is the first time Griffith has faced an Extraordinary enemy who is good at summoning.The identity of these hopping black rabbits is unknown, but they are likely to be dangerously corroded and polluted.There are so many of them that they almost protect the puppeteer in all directions. It is not easy to get close to the puppeteer himself.

But the upcoming battle isn't limited to a one-on-one duel between Griffith and the Fallen Elves.

His teammates are nearby.Although everyone was lost in the darkness during the fall, and the terrain was complicated, but after the battle started, the huge movement, turbulent psychic energy ripples and light will definitely attract teammates to come.Galadia should be the one who arrived the fastest.

The same is true of the other party.The battle between the two sides will evolve into a team battle over time.

Griffith was indifferent to the puppeteer's words, covered himself with a streamer shield and rushed towards her.

He ran over the black rabbits, and the ice shield shattered in a blink of an eye, and the splashing ice crushed the monsters, but more black rabbits jumped up to cover him, making gnawing noises.

People drowned by black rabbits melt like candles.

"Puppet!?" Sif suddenly realized something was wrong.A more powerful breath was rushing towards her from the darkness.

Griffith's real body appeared from a hiding place in another direction, and with the help of the dark blood cloak, he concealed and approached to a position less than twenty yards away from Sif.Corrupted abyssal monsters are already scattered here, completing full-angle vigilance like sentinels.It was also difficult for him to continue to move forward without being noticed. He raised his right hand in a vacant grip, and the extremely cold icy air immediately condensed into a sharp spear in his hand, and threw it forward with lightning speed.

This time the projection even had the aura of a huge mountain monster, as if to vent the aura that swallowed up the world and occupied it.

"Ah——I'm finished!" The fallen elf was pierced by the blow before he even had time to dodge, and let out a desperate groan.However, before the groaning sound fell, the exact same voice sounded from the darkness:
"I lied to you."

The densely packed black rabbits had no intention of stopping at all, and turned around and rushed towards the exposed Griffith.

As expected of a puppeteer, what was exposed was not the real body... Griffith turned into a ball of bats and flew upwards without hesitation, skimming the darkness and falling among the rocks in the distance, distanced himself from the dangerous summoned creature.

The phantom of Sif pierced by the ice spear also disintegrated on the spot like a wax figure. The body in the darkness was hiding its figure, and said curiously:
"Hey, it turns out it's the same type of Extraordinary ability as me! Let's not hide it, how about standing up and fighting it head-on?"

Both sides hide themselves in the dark.

Those little black rabbits were still crawling around.They swarmed upon suspicious hiding places as soon as they found them, corroding them into a writhing black varnish.

Griffith's perception is average, only at the level of ordinary people.But he still had to fortify to find out where Sif was hiding, and the other party must be doing similar things.Teammates from both sides will arrive soon. If it is a teammate, you must first grasp the enemy's position to avoid an ambush; if it is an enemy, you must distance yourself early to avoid being flanked.

Griffith mobilized his mental power to re-condense the runes to supplement the consumption just now.At the same time, he took out an exquisite mithril pendant from his neckline.

This is a gift from Miss Elf, it can provide the blessing of protecting the mind, and it can also be used to release divination when necessary.

He prayed to the goddesses Silvermoon and Starlight.Although he is not a believer of this god, the goddess seems to be very friendly in terms of Galadia's face, and she can trouble him when something happens.

"Eternal light that bestows good shelter,

"The guardian of nature and balance,
"The guide of the endless journey,
"Please show me the trail of those malicious enemies."

Griffith does not know how to divination. The working principle of the mithril pendant is to recite the real name of the goddess and ask her to give a hint. It is closer to prayer than divination.As soon as he finished chanting, the mithril pendant emitted a reassuring soft wave, guiding his attention to an ordinary rock.

Praise the goddess!Griffith was overjoyed.He immediately left his hiding place and made a detour under the cover of the ice shield.

Soon, flustered psionic fluctuations appeared behind the rock, and the hidden fallen elves discovered the incoming humans through their summoned eyeliner, and were hastily launching defenses.

As a puppeteer, her shield is definitely not as good as that of a spellcaster, and her physical strength cannot be compared with that of a spellbreaker or a demon hunter.Her black rabbit is indeed very threatening, but once she gets close, she is close to death.

A cloud of dark red magic light burst out.Suddenly, a giant rhino more than three meters high jumped out of the air.Its hooves are like wall pillars, its horns are like battering rams, and its eyes are red.

Driven by chaos and madness, it rumbled loudly on the ground, as frightening as a beating on the heart.The rhino roared and rammed Griffith head-on amid rolling rocks and debris.

Griffith hastily grabbed an ice gun and threw it over. The tip of the gun pierced into the tough hard armor and smashed to pieces, but it didn't hinder the giant beast's movement in the slightest.

He had no choice but to give up his plan to outflank the puppeteer and dodge among the rocks.The speed of the giant beast was extremely fast and its momentum was astonishing. Wherever it went, rocks splashed and the ground cracked, as if even the cave would collapse under its ravages.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the beast, Griffith turned around and grabbed an ice gun and threw it.The blow nailed its knees, sending it trembling.

Finding that the attack was effective, Griffith immediately threw a third javelin.This throw aimed at the giant beast's face, but it bounced off the solid skull arc.

After three throws, the rhino had already rushed in front of him.Griffith hurriedly rolled to the ground, pulled out the judgment and pulled the trigger on the passing rhino.

"Bah!"

The shot was fired at a very close range, almost touching the rhino's profile.Lead shot from the flames and smoke shattered the rhino's skull, sending pieces of bone flying into his face.Part of the broken buckshot penetrated into the rhino's skull and twisted into a ball in the brain and blood vessels.

The huge rhino passed by, ran a few steps forward, and fell down with a whine.

Griffith glanced at the flintlock in his hand in amazement. The lethality of this short-range blow was already comparable to that of his own throwing gun, and there was no delay in the movement of the hand, and no physical exertion.

The disadvantage is that the loading is too slow.Griffith looked at the giant beast twitching on the ground, holding a gun in his right hand, and took out the ammunition at his waist with his left hand.

The ammunition that Roland gave him was divided into two types, one was the fast-loading paper-wrapped gunpowder and fixed-load ammunition that combined lead bullets, and the other was special gunpowder for fine gold bullets.

Griffith stood upright on the spot, while vigilantly examining the movement around him, he bit open the seal of the gunpowder bag, poured a small amount of gunpowder into the medicine pool, took out an adamantine bullet and stuffed it into the barrel with a cleaning rod.

He held the gun in his hand, and in his left hand condensed a frozen short spear, pierced into the broken skull of the rhinoceros and stirred it twice.Seeing the giant beast twitch twice and lose its vitality, Griffith couldn't help but smile.

Huh, reloading is really slow, if an enemy came to attack me just now, they would definitely catch me by surprise.

His smile has not disappeared from the corner of his mouth, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a human figure that seemed to be transparent from top to bottom.The human-shaped transparent body was extremely fast, flashing past the field of vision, and suddenly a figure appeared from behind him.Before Griffith could react, there was a loud noise in his ear.

The ice shield was shattered, followed by a blow to the waist, a kick to the knee that knocked him to his knees, and a gleaming mace smashed into the back of his head.

"Boom!" The hammer broke the helmet, hitting him so brightly that he almost fell to the ground.

The enemy's reinforcements are coming. Judging by the attack method, it is the Extraordinary Pisacius of the Assassin Path.

However, he was an assassin after all, every attack had to penetrate fine armor to cause substantial damage, and his strongest first attack after he emerged from hiding was blocked by an unexpected ice shield.

The bone-eating chill swept over, and the attacking assassin was suddenly frozen in place.A small brown medicine bottle even hit him head-on, shattering into a cloud of smoke that restrained his movements.

Griffith withstood the most threatening first round of combos, and immediately resorted to countermeasures of control and delay.But instead of taking advantage of the momentum to fight back, he ran away at full speed in one direction.

The puppeteer's swarms of black rabbits had already rushed up, and before they passed the elf assassin, a crystal green light had already surrounded him.

Pisacius just raised his hand, and the frozen and brown quagmire that imprisoned him melted like ice and snow under the flames.He got out of the predicament in a blink of an eye and rushed towards Griffith.

This is a countermeasure against movement control, Canaan's Extraordinary is really extraordinary!Griffith knew that spells and potions were not invincible, but it was the first time he encountered such a sophisticated enemy.

Pisacius was extremely vigorous and quick, and caught up in a blink of an eye, forming a pincer attack with the black rabbit behind him.Just as he was about to stab with his sword, Griffith suddenly broke into a ball of flying bats and fled in all directions.Pisacius looked around in a daze, but he couldn't find any trace of the enemy for a while.

"This is a sealed artifact of the blood race? The equipment is comprehensive. But how long will it last?" The fallen elf sheathed her sword, her body slightly bent, ready to go like a female cheetah, "Sif, let go of your rabbits. "

He has already joined his fellow Puppeteer, just wait for a while, and groups of black rabbits will find the traces of human warriors.

However, what answered him was not the confirmation of his companions, but the intensive cracking sound of large hailstones falling to the ground.A blizzard blew up in the dark cave, turning the world into a silver-white world in the blink of an eye.

"Oh my cuties!" Sif screamed.The scattered black rabbits crackled and burst as the raging hail and wind swept by.Even if their shattered wreckage wanted to condense again, it would be crushed immediately by the uninterrupted blizzard.

Griffith regained form.

Ahead of him, Sonia emerged from the snow and the wind.She put on a light blue robe, and an ice blue magic ball was spinning around her.She didn't even need to chant a spell, the bone-gnawing wind and ice shield served faithfully.

Calm down, Sonia, you can do it!The blond girl raised her red-grained oak wand and shook it gently, and the flying snowflakes and howling icicles danced wildly in the darkness.

The figure of an elf is outlined on the fine snowflakes and snow.Holding a sharp knife and a short hammer, he was about to circle behind Sonia.However, he was exposed just as he approached the edge of the blizzard.

Although his breath and voice were concealed, and he was extremely careful in his actions, his figure was invisible in the flying snow.

"Mr. Purifier, your traces have been exposed." Sonia's wand pointed directly at the fallen elf. "It is impossible for you to defeat me within a blizzard with a radius of 20 meters."

The sneaky figure of the fallen elf froze, and slowly straightened up, gradually revealing its original shape.He is the same as Sif, the fair and smooth skin of the Canaan elves has turned into a slightly dark bronze color, and there is unstoppable desire and madness in his eyes:

"You have two mistakes, dear lady,
"First of all, please don't tarnish my loyalty with the evil name of Purifier, I am Pisacius, the sharp blade of the dream master;

"Secondly, your childishness has wasted the best opportunity to attack, and becoming my sacrifice is your only destination."

Pisacius struck forward.His pace was not hurried or slow, but it made people feel that the space stretched and twisted around him, making it impossible to lock his position.In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Sonia, and appeared behind him in a flash, stabbing with a light green sharp blade.

The dagger wrapped in green light failed to pierce the girl's throat and stopped a few inches away.Pisacius' whole body felt jerky, and he couldn't make an inch of progress.

His feet had already been frozen by the cold ice, and the freezing air bit his fallen skin like a snake swimming away from a fire, and necrosis quickly appeared like burning.

Sonia's whole body was surrounded by icy air, and just getting close to her had caused Pisacius to suffer severe injuries.

"Is it the Frost Curse? It's a bit tricky." Pisacius raised his left hand, and a mace had already been thrown from his hand.

"Bah!"

The oak wand in Sonya's hand was hit and dropped.Even the fine tree grains of the wand showed signs of cracks, and even if it was repaired again, it would be difficult to reach the previous state.

"Miss Wizard, the outcome is decided," Pisacius smiled, "It is impossible for you to stop my blade without your wand."

Sonia took a few steps back, rubbed her wrists, watched the fallen elf who was freeing herself from the freeze, and shook her head slightly.

"Mr. Pisacius, there are two things that need your attention.

"First of all, I am Sonia de La Mole, the eldest daughter of Count La Mole, a mysterious, elegant and inviolable magician;

"Secondly, I didn't lose my wand~"

The girl reached into the side pocket of the safari trousers, and gently pulled it there, a long belt floated and unfolded in front of her like a swimming snake.

The belt is divided with silver locks, and contains crystal potions, sparkling dust crystals, and six different styles of magic wands in layers...

Sonia's fingers danced on the belt, and the wand lit up with different lights in sequence, illuminating the horrified face of Pisacius in front of him in colorful colors.

A lightning-wrapped wand flew into her hand.

"Crack-crack!" The Thunder slammed head-on, making Pisacius scream.He fled back in a hurry, and saw thunderbolts and arcs rolling up and down around Sonia's wand.Every time they rolled over, Pisacius' eyelids trembled in fear.

"Please be prepared, Mr. Elf, I am going to use lightning strikes to restrain your concealment and pace," Sonia waved a new wand, "The wand made of peach wood by lightning strikes is not easy to control, and I am not very good at this kind of spells However, the area attack spell does not pay attention to these.

"Expand prefabricated spell 1, gather energy, release, lightning!"

The dark cave was instantly split open by unprecedented thunder.Countless worms and snakes screamed and ran out of their hiding places, desperately fleeing towards the deeper darkness.

Pissaius only saw a whip-like arc sweeping towards him, and the whole world was illuminated.

"Wow--!"
