Blood tax

Chapter 230 Heresy!Judgment!Burning!burn!
The lead bullet hit the monster suspected to be the Son of Domon at close range, but it bounced off the smooth and stiff exposed skull, and embedded into the wall next to it with a "snap".

Griffith only saw a flash in front of his eyes, the monster bent down quickly, and with a flick of its hind legs, it rushed at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch.Griffith hastily blocked it with the Vanguard Shield.He first heard a loud "bang", the outermost ice shield shattered, and a big hole was torn in the gap of the already damaged shield.The monster's forked claws broke through the gap like a blade, and even inserted into the gauntlet behind the shield.

At the same time, a long tail composed of joint bones stood up behind the monster, with sharp bony spurs in the shape of a spear at the end.The bone spur raised behind it and swept away at Griffith who was in the block.

The Vanguard Shield forged from rare alloys completely lost its defensive capabilities.Griffith even lost his center of gravity and fell backward against the altar wall.Before he could stabilize his footsteps, the bone tail was stabbing head-on like a primitive and crazy javelin.

This blow directly pierced Griffith's body, but there was no screaming or blood spurting.The quasi-knight who was supposed to be nailed to the wall shattered into a ball of flying blood-colored bats and rushed towards the sky.

In the square not far away, Lana and the others were fighting three magic dragons.The Stitch Monster, which was used as a meat shield, had already turned into a pile of charred and smoking minced meat under the staggered magic breath, and the entire square was submerged in ice or flames.

The dragon had been split off on the right side of the head, and Galadia seized the opportunity to shoot an arrow through the neck, and the terrifying three-headed monster turned into two heads on the spot.Both Sonia and Fiona retreated to the rear to support.The three of them attack with magic and bows, and at any given time at least one frog is hopping around at everyone's feet.

Lana, who has been promoted to a terrifying knight, moves as fast as a shadow, holding a giant sword of his own body, spinning around the dragon and beheading it.His body was surrounded by smoky black air, he was holding a huge sword, and using his other hand and both legs, he rushed like a wild beast.

The battle here is completely two beasts biting each other.The dragon with only two heads roared sharply and attacked frantically.Its fangs and magic tore apart Lanar's armor and flesh, but the latter didn't care, and his strength, speed and momentum even tended to increase.

This is the characteristic of Dread Knights. They are not afraid of terror and pain, and can even draw strength from the killing of battles. No matter whether the damage comes from the enemy or themselves, they can become stronger.It is true that this process will cause huge damage to the horror knight, but the damage it will cause to the enemy will also become more and more amazing.

Lana, who had just broken through, walked wantonly under the deadly magic attack of the dragon, cut into the long neck of the dragon with a sword, and stirred vigorously.He still felt unsatisfied, so he bit down on the wound, devouring the flesh and blood.

The severely injured mythical creature suddenly let out a shrill neigh.The fire waves it spouted entered the ground like a wall, but they couldn't burn the terrifying knight to death. The powerful transformation technique was also blocked by the black air, so it could only be thrown to other people who were not a big threat.

Blood splashed out from Lana's armor, and the shocking scene made Fiona in the distance terrified.But Lana himself didn't take it seriously. While fighting, he ate the flesh from the broken wound of the dragon. The wounds and damaged armor all over his body were being healed by the energy of the flesh and blood, and his breath became more distorted and violent.

This astonishing mode of raising and fighting by fighting actually suppressed the three dragons who were at least one rank higher.Even powerful mythical creatures are in a dilemma when facing enemies with high speed, high damage and energy consumption.

"Retreat!" Griffith, who turned into a bat, landed and showed his original shape, throwing the ancient stone slab into Sonia's hands, "We try to get out of here."

Before the words fell, there was a loud noise suddenly, and a huge object crashed to the ground, shaking the ground.Griffith took a closer look, and saw that the last heads of the three dragons had been taken off and thrown on the ground. The broken necks and wounds were uneven, as if they had been torn off by fangs.

The huge headless body of the three demon dragons sprayed black blood, twitched violently, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

At least the mythical creature of Sequence 6 was defeated in a short time!

Lana crawled on top of the body of the fallen mythical creature.He tore off his scales, drank blood wantonly, raised his head like a giant wolf, and let out a terrifying and sharp wolf howl.This neighing sound was extremely penetrating, as if it was about to go straight into the sky and reverberate in the underground world.

He even inserted his hand into the dragon's corpse and stirred it, and when he pulled it out, there was a magnificent crystal in his hand.At this moment, the ferocious visor showed a strange smile.

The terrifying knight, the Extraordinary of the desolate path is so terrifying!Griffith was shocked by Lana's powerful combat power.So far, he has never seen such a fierce Sequence 7.However, before he could express his admiration, the black armor and black air surrounding Lana's body suddenly shrank back like frightened tentacles, revealing a body covered in blood and wounds.

The stern wound had been torn and healed repeatedly, as if it had been whipped by countless whips.

Lana, who was still in the midst of tyranny and killing just now, suddenly lost his terrifying aura, and fell down straight from the dragon's corpse like a stone.

Fiona ran up in a hurry, trying to catch her Sutoral, but her burly body hit her heavily and made a muffled "boom", pressing her hard like a slipper on a bunny. Strictly, only the hands and feet are exposed and fluttering.

Griffith quickly grabbed Lana and threw him on his back.

"Retreat, Sonia, look at the route!"

Sonia poured psychic energy into the slate without any response.She handed the slate to the elf again, but nothing happened.

"I'm coming!" Griffith took the slate, trying to contact it, looking for clues to get out.Just as he thought about it, a group of golden rays of light suddenly bloomed, outlining the three-dimensional terrain of ruins and roads on the stone slab.There is also a moving light spot in this three-dimensional figure, which is impressively where everyone is.

At the same time, a long snake-like light band suddenly appeared in the dark underground ruins, extending from the reservoir square to the edge of the cliff.This light belt is inexplicably interrupted in many places, but it still outlines a line leading directly to the dome.

That's the way to the outside world!
Everyone hurriedly ran along the guidance of the light belt.Everyone actually found a way hidden in rocks and shadows at the edge of the cliff.This road is extremely inconspicuous, and some places have been collapsed and damaged. It usually looks normal, but once there are instructions from the light band and the projection of the stone slab, it is a very concealed escape route.

In front of them, those unreliable troll servants were also running wildly along the light belt, as if they had been waiting for this moment.

Behind them, an extremely powerful aura is rapidly approaching from the distant ruins.Bessarius is coming.

Under normal circumstances, it might not be impossible to fight the fallen elves in an open area.However, after Lana chopped down the three dragons with astonishing momentum, he was completely silent, like a stone, only causing trouble.

As a last resort, everyone could only escape along the tunnel all the way to the outside.They passed through the deep cave, crossed the underground river, and then climbed out of the sloping tunnel, and suddenly their eyes lit up.

The long-lost ground appeared in front of them.Here is a hill on the edge of a swamp, and there is a small river winding westward.

The sober air swept away the boredom and irritability of the underground, and the boundless woods and shrubs were full of vitality.Those trolls who ran out one step earlier prostrated themselves on the ground one by one, kissing the ground under their feet as if they were going crazy.

"The oracle, the oracle has been fulfilled!" The unscrupulous and useless elder Jirapakasa shouted with tears in his eyes, "The warriors of the alien gods will come with the breath of death and desolation, and they will defeat The pet of the gods, guide the Belomon clan to the path of supreme glory, and bring them to the promised land of abundance!"

After he finished speaking, he knelt down to Griffith who had just come out of the cave from a distance.His people bowed down together, and then... all the trolls jumped up with cheers, and scattered in all directions, disappearing behind rivers, forests, and rocks.

All this happened so suddenly, and the trolls fled so fast that Griffith, who was carrying Lana on his back, didn't have time to catch a few servants.

……

Everyone was silent for a while, and Sonia quickly calculated the direction, and determined that the river here roughly leads to Qiming Town and Fort Turan.Everyone worked together, with the help of the spell, quickly tied up a crude raft with tree trunks, and threw Lana on it to prepare to escape.

At this moment, that astonishing terrifying aura emerged again.It appeared in the underground tunnel, coming fiercely and at an extremely fast speed, attacking the ground!

Everyone's raft moved along the river. Although it was not slow, it was impossible to escape under such urgent pursuit.

"We're here to fight," Griffith said.

"Yes, we can't run fast with Lana," Galadia said, "and the terrain here is open, as long as we keep the distance, we can minimize the impact of his sealed item."

"But but, what about Lana?" Fiona asked uneasily. She poured medicine, cast a spell on her Sutoral, and hit him a few times, but there was no reaction at all, " The extraordinary characteristics of the terrifying knight are indeed powerful, but they also have great side effects on people, which I have always disagreed with. Lana has just been promoted and encountered such a fierce battle, and he does not know when he will wake up."

Griffith thought for a while and said:

"Sonia and Fiona, take Lana and go first on the raft, Galadia and I will snipe and delay Bessarius along the river, don't worry, listen to me,

"The next battle will require high-speed maneuvers between the woods and river valleys. Only we have similar experience and capabilities. You go ahead and ask them to send troops to meet us as long as you can contact Qiming Town or Fort Turan."

"But there are only two of you! In case of any accident..." Sonia objected eagerly.

Galadia stretched out her hand, tapped her forehead lightly, and made a mark: "Once we get in touch with the reinforcements, we will send out familiars based on our psychic ripples to notify you. Don't worry, Griffith and I The partner has been with him several times, and he will be brought back completely!"

This is undoubtedly the most correct tactic. When Lana is unable to fight or even is a drag, it is difficult for the slower and weaker Sonia and Fiona to escape the pursuit of the fallen elf transcendent.

"Be careful!" Sonia rushed forward and hugged Galadia tightly, then said to Griffith, "See you in Qiming Town!"

……

Driven by the magic and the current, the raft went down the river. The two girls waved to the shore and disappeared at the corner of the stream in a blink of an eye.

"How many times is this?" Galadia asked, looking away.

"Goblin, Whispering Forest, and the time in the Black Territory, this is the fourth time," Griffith flexed his wrist, and for the next battle, he also handed over the nearly destroyed Vanguard Shield to Sonia. Gone, "Wait for a while, I will fight head-on, and you will cover from a distance."

They will pull and guerrilla on the banks of the river, stalling for as long as possible.They will also attempt to set traps if the terrain permits.The deployment of all these tactics requires a full grasp of the surrounding terrain.

"The enemy this time is stronger than ever before," Miss Elf said solemnly, "Bessarius can switch between the caster and melee states, he is surrounded by mist, I can't see his details clearly, but, You can be sure that he is far from being comparable to the ordinary Sequence 6. Are you really sure you want to face him yourself?"

Her expression was very nervous, and the short fight before had made her see clearly the difference in strength between the two sides.Although Griffith is more resistant to beatings, it is also a question of how long he can last under the onslaught of the fallen elves.

Griffith moved quickly along the river, he boarded the hills, looked at the undulating terrain, and carefully examined the gullies and rocks: "We don't aim to kill him, this will give us great flexibility in fighting sex."

"Can you break through Sequence 7 now?"

"I'm afraid I can't, but I can't say for sure, maybe I broke through suddenly in a hurry~" Griffith said while pointing to the nearby hill, "You will hide in that direction, behind the ridge."

"It's useless~ Look at how mighty Ranado is!"

"It's really mighty," Griffith nodded repeatedly, "but the duration is very short, just, 3 minutes? In short, it's less than 5 minutes. It's really hard for Fiona."

"Why do I think you're talking yellow?" The girl couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "Speak as if you're good at it."

Griffith ran towards the river bank. The enemy's aura was approaching the entrance of the cave and might appear at any time. While looking for favorable terrain for the first round of attack, he said seriously: "Everyone has their own strengths~ I, very much Lasting. Come back and let you see."

"Hey, you're talking yellow! You hate it!" Galadia rolled his eyes at him, and suddenly, she remembered something, "Wait, we've known each other for a whole year, don't you have a gift for me?"

"Isn't your birthday coming yet?"

"It's not my birthday, it's the first anniversary of our acquaintance!" Miss Elf waved her fist angrily, "Why did you forget? What about flowers? Gifts? You didn't even ask me to have a meal and dance ~ Points deducted Points deducted!"

"Ah, this...why is there such a thing? According to what you say, it won't be long before every day is a holiday and an anniversary?"

"Isn't it good that every day is a holiday!"

The two who were planning to set up positions talked endlessly by the river, until a strange and huge figure appeared in the distance.Galadia shut her mouth, hit Griffith on the head with the tip of her bow, and ran towards the nearby hillside like the wind.

The creature had a humanoid torso, but was more than four meters tall, with gray bat-like wings spread out from behind.Its feet are like the hooves of a cow, and its whole body is red like a hot iron, with the long tail of a crocodile trailing behind it, the head on its shoulders has long horns of a goat, and its hands hold double blades surrounded by green flames.

Its appearance still retains a trace of Bessalius' characteristics, leaving magma burning ashes wherever it walks.This ferocious and terrifying monster stared at the humans and elves who had just separated from the quarrel, and roared loudly:
"heresy!
"Judgment!
"Fire!
"Burn to death!"
