The last headhunter

Chapter 28 Desperate Battle (1)

Even though he had made sufficient preparations, Makaros' size still surprised the boy and Jeska.Located in the middle of the mainland, the Sky Mountains are already thousands of feet high, and the majestic body of the two Sky Mountains gives people a feeling that cannot be described in terms of shock.In the face of such an overwhelming impact, all living beings are nothing more than trampled maggots, not to mention the huge halberd that has already been stained red with blood, cutting people into several pieces may be just a flash.

There is no doubt that this giant creature can easily break through the solid city walls that humans are proud of, crash into towering watchtowers, smash down command centers, and tear apart those self-proclaimed noble commanders.Even the most well-equipped human army can only scatter in all directions under the charge of a manic monster of this size and weight.Therefore, the task of dealing with it is all entrusted to the powerful adventurers.Knight, cleric, warrior, rogue, cleric—it's only by cooperating with each other that they can slow this guy down and prepare time for the "ultimate weapon" to be ready.

But how easy is it?During the fierce battle to defend the capital during the second holy war, hundreds of beginner and intermediate professional adventurers and high-level ability users tried their best to hold back Makaros' footsteps. few minutes.Although the precious time saved finally bought time for the Judgment of the Holy Lance and brought a decisive victory for the human side, but how can the 80% death rate be described as "heavy loss" for the human empire?

But the most horrifying thing is not the damage he caused, but——

When everyone thought that the Holy Lance of Judgment had penetrated its heart, and the abyss lord was finally destroyed.Today, a hundred years later, the creature stands here intact, in the dark-tainted forest of Oran, taunting his prey with a grin.

The tenacious resistance of the human empire eventually resulted in futile casualties.Struggling and trying are useless in the end.

But this is by no means a reason to retreat.Just as heroic as the martyrs who died in battle - no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is just flesh and blood.This bulky and twisted evil body is definitely not without weaknesses!

Thinking of this, the young man didn't have the slightest hesitation or timidity in his heart.Unafraid of Macaroth's snarls and taunts, he stood firm in the face of the foul-smelling dark wind.And along with his Ling Ran's determination, an unprecedented and transparent power gathered in his heart without being blocked.A gentle female voice called softly from the bottom of my heart.

"Kid. Kid—"

"Your destiny is revealed. Your path is clear. The light of the sky will reveal it for you. The never-ending war will end in your hands."

"Embrace your destiny. Lead your team to kill this evil beast, liberate everything you once had, and liberate your future."

What?Who is speaking?

The almost ethereal state was shattered in a moment of absence, as if being forcibly dragged back to reality from an illusory dream.And all of a sudden, a violent heat wave swept over his side, scorching pain hit his face, and a pungent smell of charcoal permeated the smoky air.It turned out that at the moment when the young man was distracted, the two corpse demons launched a surprise attack!Fortunately, Sariel manipulated the wall of fire to condense into a thick shield, and the elemental energy that formed the entity burned the corpse demon's body into a skeleton in just a few seconds.

But this is just the beginning.From the east and west sides of the four of them, dozens of corpse demons formed an encirclement and rushed toward them.They swiftly passed through the cracks in the fire wall, leaping towards the young man like lightning.Jie Shika, who had been prepared for a long time, let out a furious roar, and clenched his long sword in front of him, slashing at the corpse demon at high speed.The sword qi was dyed with dazzling golden light, and the flames and heat waves given by Sariel spun out surging out, which actually cut the corpse into two perfectly while adding purification and burning effects!The rancid dark aura was burned, and the corpse demon, which lacked strength, quickly lost its ability to regenerate and turned into a pool of minced meat.

These two tacit powerhouses formed a bond.The combination of the fire element and the power of the holy light caused devastating damage to the army of corpse demons.They retreated temporarily, but at this moment, the Human Skull Tower changed again!Under the intensification of the breath of the undead, the puppet skeleton that had lost its body actually had life, floating in it like a ghost, burning blazingly under the purple will-o'-the-wisp.Not only that, but the corpses of the human victims also rapidly swelled due to the rapid infection, slowly standing up amidst the swollen malignant tumors and stiff flesh!They have completely lost their human appearance, and have turned into terrifying deformed creatures in some kind of abnormal transformation!

And such a masterpiece, no need to guess who did it.That's right - as Makaros approached, the level of corruption on the ground deepened, and the dark breath began to corrupt the flesh at an even more terrifying speed, even the skeleton was not spared.The evil undead energy is spreading rapidly in the forest, and if it is not stopped, the entire area will be completely infected soon!

"Save—help me."

All kinds of disgusting and smelly molds were scattered on the withered and thin face.Eyeballs, lips, and even ears are incomplete.They were either limping, kneeling or crawling on the ground, and they were approaching the boy and his party in extremely twisted and painful postures.

They were all victims of this massacre, but none of them could rest in peace after death.Macaroth used them as toys for dark creatures, bestowing upon them unholy and rotten immortality in transformation.And these "zombies", in the torment of fighting against losing their minds after being resurrected, are desperately seeking help from the teenager.

And the young man is no longer the child who only knows meaningless kindness.In order to save passers-by, Sariel lost a dark gem, and it was all because of the boy's persistent request.It's still regrettable.Perhaps, many people have ushered in their ultimate destiny.

Sariel's flames began to reach out to these living dead.These bodies wailed in pain during incineration, but they could never get any redemption.These poor people who were pulled back from hell once again ushered in a new death in torture.Looking at the web of flames connecting all over the sky, Makaros laughed wildly.The laughter was earth-shattering, rumbling in the boy's ears.

"Human beings are so fragile. Look at the blood on your hands, your crimes brought about their demise!"

He swung his giant blade, and the purple shock wave accompanied by vibrating fel energy pierced the air and hit Sariel.They effortlessly pierced through the fiercely burning fire wall, chopped the skull into pieces, and were about to touch the fragile body of the white-robed mage!And a burst of golden light burst out suddenly, and Jie Shika, who rushed to his side, received the powerful sword energy with his body.The sharp cutting force rubbed violently against the shield of the holy light, and the continuously rising small-scale energy explosions set off breath after wave of ripples on the dusty battlefield.And what's surprising is that the sword energy that this monster swung at will was comparable to that of Jie Shika's full strength, and even tended to break through the defense gradually!
You know, Makaros didn't make any preparations, and didn't consume the slightest bit of strength, yet he still caused considerable damage to Jeska!

"Holy wall!"

Seeing that the protection was about to be shattered, Jie Shika roared with difficulty, and plunged the big sword into the ground, and a strong holy light energy surged out from the armor behind him.Only then did the boy notice that Jeska's back had been filled with a huge cross of holy light.This cross is an illusory thing that does not exist, but it seems to continuously form a double-layered entity, shining with the light, one virtual and one real.Not only that, the holy light is still expanding in size, and even gradually formed a giant shadow of a cross that is twice as tall as the 2m Jessica!
Under the blessing of such holy light, a huge phantom wall printed with golden wings shot up into the sky, and unexpectedly bounced the fiercely cutting blade energy away, and rushed towards Makaros instead!

The invincible iron wall that can defend itself and reflect damage is worthy of being a high-level priest!But can this cause harm?The shock wave after the rebound has been weakened by half——

The boy stared at the purple-white light that was attacking his master.But in the next second, that light suddenly shattered in the air!Makaros swung his halberd with his right hand, and a new shock wave came in a straight line. The burst of energy shattered all over the sky and completely strangled the expected rebound attack.

But at this moment, the mass of skulls that have been ineffective for a long time began to gather faintly as if they were fully charged, and began to rotate irregularly and rapidly in the air, and gradually people could not see their traces—three human skull towers formed Two giant floating objects, and these ghosts purely composed of skull "life forms", actually started to spray black and purple beams of evil energy at the young people and the group!

The beam of light began to have a huge impact on the sacred wall.The two beams of light that intervened at the same time were unexpected, breaking and gaping the sacred wall!At the same time, since Jeskaine couldn't move even if he maintained the light wall, those corpse demons who relied on sharp melee to deal considerable damage began to move again.They rushed towards the wall of fire one after another, and even if their bodies were burned to ashes, the next one would make up for it in an instant, and when the power of purification could not affect the corpse demon, they would awaken their regenerative ability again, and the flames could not cause fatal damage.They broke through the wall of fire, and are rushing forward one after another to desperately reach out to the young man——

The disaster didn't stop there.Macaroth puts more pressure on the crisis.He aimed at the short-lived gap in the sacred wall, and slashed a new thick shock wave with his left arm.The purple wave of evil energy shook the air, and it was coming with unimaginable coercion.

Looking at this almost desperate desperate situation, Sariel felt very calm in his heart.What tempers mankind is always the hymn of suffering, and what saves mankind is always the baptism of hope.In pain, anger, and unwillingness, human beings will burst out with power that they can't even imagine, and put in the supreme courage of resolute survival-it is by relying on these that the human species can survive in this crisis-ridden world. Under the threat of hunger, sickness and undead and natural disasters.

Even the hundreds of lonely souls who died here, even the thousands of people who were horribly slaughtered in Luo'an Imperial City, they never gave up hope.They are also struggling to stay alive.From this point of view, everyone is equal and worthy of respect.

To be honest, Sariel didn't want to save any of the elemental gems when he returned to his family from the secret realm.Although these strong magical energies take time to gather, they are not as precious to him as Michelle said.In order to achieve the goal, these crystals that can be used to release arcane spells can also be completely given up.

Therefore, in order for the boy to live until that day, for the boy to truly awaken the power he possesses, and for the boy to understand the legends and secrets in the Book of Riel, it is not too much to practice for hundreds of years.

The arcane art of flame will bloom a crimson swan song in this dark cemetery.

Saryl took a deep breath.His staff was released from his hand, and immediately floated in the air.Unlike the previous dark-type arcana, the chanting time required for fire arcane seems to be longer, and the energy to be accumulated is also more.In order to protect himself, Sariel shrunk the wall of fire until it tightly surrounded the four of them.And Jie Shika also clearly understood the task that Sariel had to complete. The golden cross behind him was raised several meters again, and the gap was slowly being repaired.The purple beam of light collided strongly with the holy light, intermingling with each other!And as the price of strengthening the sacred barrier, Jessika's armor is being shattered in various parts due to the extreme strengthening of his body!
"Old man. You should know what to do?"

Sariel glanced at Michelle who had been silent all this time.This old man who claims to be just a writer doesn't know how long he will pretend.In order to complete the arcane spell of the flame, a lot of preparation work is required-this giant energy impact, which is already comparable to the natural disaster, needs some assistance.

And Michelle gave ample affirmation.He smiled, and in his hand was an ancient magic scroll full of magic energy that flew into the air.This is like the space-based ability of fetching things from a distance—is Michelle really just a royal writer?Or is he just hiding it from them all the time, the old man has actually been...
"As you wish. I will chant the spell for you. But I have to remind you that the flame gem needs 214 years of practice before it can be recast."

"Stop talking nonsense. Let's get started."

Michelle spread out the magic scroll.It is covered with mysterious ancient characters.And he sang one by one.

"ize wa senyi adola."

"neya tyimka wipo sayoadesu."

"yisakopi ranlwyz daz!"

The staff quickly absorbed the overflowing magic.As for the sky, the setting sun was actually dyed blood-colored by a burst of deep red.

"Under the stars. In the sky, above the wilderness. Burn the blazing flames of the world. For my use, create the cornerstone of the new world!"

In the sky, a red meteor pierced the night sky.What followed was a majestic rain of flames.

At that moment, the whole Luo'an was burning and frantic.
