Arad's Sword

Chapter 351 The Second Spine
The guardian with the wings of the high-level demon clan gave an order, and the leader immediately pushed the boat along.

Not only did he no longer let the air fleet to meddle in their own business, but even the ground troops were mobilized. When defending, he just put on a show instead of really working hard.

Anyway, the guardian's order is "let them in, Midi and the others leave it to me to deal with."

Although the actual meaning of this sentence should be that the guardians want to kill the leaders such as Midi, Fina, and Alice, but it shouldn't matter if the four thousand troops below are put in together, right?

Immediately, the pressure on Midi's side suddenly eased, and the forward speed suddenly increased a lot.

Midi even had some doubts about whether there were any traps waiting for him ahead, but judging from the reports from the scouts and the prying eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, he was completely overwhelmed.

Prepared for any sudden attack, Midi ordered the troops to march faster without hesitation.

This 4000-strong army soon reached the first spine of the Skyveil giant beast.

From the point of view of these tiny humans on the back of the giant beast, here is a land of undulating hills, with mountains, rivers, and a large number of watersheds, and in the distance are ethereal mountains, where the second spine is located.

Similar to the Dryad Forest, this first spine also hides a large number of magical beasts raised by mind flayers.

Even if the leader has transferred all the troops, these monsters will not be affected by the order, but stick to their own territory, ready to attack any invaders at any time.

And among the monsters, apart from a large number of demonized ancient war trees, the most powerful one is a beholder.

It's not the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, but another subspecies called the Eye of the Warlord.

The warlord's eye is the most dangerous of the beholder-like creatures known.

It is born with several times the power of ordinary beholders, and its appearance is so deformed that it is indescribable.

If it is barely described, it can be described as a large fleshy tree, but the trunk has a mouth, and the tips of the branches are eyes.

Unlike its compatriot, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, the Warlord's Eye is extremely resistant to psychic powers. Metaphorically speaking, it is equivalent to the Mind Catcher in the Beholder.

Midi's omnipotent psychic powers are almost useless here.

The defense of the Overseer's Eye is also extremely strong, and it is reflected in both physical and magical aspects.

Usually, Midi's golden-red sword light only needs to be lightly polished, let alone a magic weapon, even a layer of armor on a battleship will be worn off.But at this moment, under the continuous attack of the golden red sword light, the black torso of the Overseer's Eye did not suffer much damage.

And Fina's terrifying magic bullet attack, which was powerful enough to penetrate the battleship, was also deflected by a series of defensive magic continuously cast by the Overseer's Eye, unable to hit the target accurately.

Not only that, even Alice's attack became a little pale this time.

The Red Devil "Rose Hound" has always been an invincible existence in the past, not because of its attack power and devouring ability, but because it is almost invulnerable to any kind of damage.

Physical attacks can't hurt the mist-like body, but magical attacks will be swallowed as nourishment instead. This feature allows the "Rose Hound" to walk sideways in any environment.

But this time, it met its nemesis.

Since the Warlord's Eye is a beholder, it is natural to know the beholder's signature skill "Eye Ray".

Moreover, unlike the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch who focuses on reconnaissance, the Warlord's Eye, who is good at fighting, can shoot five eyeball rays in an instant!

This eyeball ray is not a physical attack, but it is not a magical attack, but a "ray" that dissociates all matter and energy.

Alice's most powerful summoned beast, the red devil "Rose Hound", not only cannot swallow this ray, but will be broken down by it.

Five eyeball rays pierced through the crimson blood mist in an instant, leaving five huge blank marks in it.

At the same time, the huge red giant wolf under Alice's seat immediately trembled all over, and then let out a creepy growl.

For the first time since birth, it hurt!

Negative emotions such as pain, fear, anxiety, etc. that had never been tasted poured into the heart of the "Rose Hound", making it almost out of control for a while.

Not only that, this runaway emotion was also fed back to Alice, causing the summoner girl to suffer a certain degree of damage.

The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.

"Strike!" Midi suppressed the churning emotions in his heart, and gave the order in a decisive tone.

The well-trained fighters of the Falcon Regiment rushed forward desperately, and under the leadership of Midi, they directly attacked the Eye of the Warlord from the front.

The torrent of steel launched charges again and again, launching waves of attacks in turn.

The soldiers used their weapons to chop fiercely at the torso of the Eye of the Warlord, whose defense was comparable to that of a heavily armored cruiser, even if they could only leave white marks on it.

The magicians took turns to launch indiscriminate bombing, squeezing every trace of magic power in their bodies.

Although the magic bullets were always deflected, Fina continued to bombard, even if it was just to distract the attention of the Warlord's Eye.

And Alice also endured internal injuries and changed her strategy.She no longer summoned summoned beasts with traits like "Rose Hound", but instead summoned high-level elemental spirits, etc., and cooperated with the large army to directly attack.

In the face of this kind of attack regardless of cost, after 10 minutes, the Eye of the Warlord finally fell.

But for this, Midi also paid nearly one-fifth of the troops as a price.

A total of [-] fresh lives were simply buried in the depths of the star ocean.

As the saying goes, one will be successful and the bones will be dead. Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the ground stained red with blood, Midi once again deeply felt the cruelty of war.

And he also remembered something at the same time - in the previous life, when passing through the first spine, it was a huge sea monster guarding here, not the Eye of the Warlord.

That sea monster is equally powerful, but it is much weaker than the abyssal monster like the Eye of the Warlord.

Reminiscent of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord who suddenly appeared in the Star Ocean, so far, Midi can assert that history has changed to a considerable extent in this life.

However, let alone being sad, he didn't even have time to feel emotional, and even the doubts in his heart could only be temporarily suspended, instead of carefully deliberating.

Because of this war, the final victory has not yet been achieved.

Before that, any action is superfluous and a waste of time.

Since so many lives have been filled here, the only thing that can be done is to go all the way to the end, and never stop until the end of victory is reached.

After a short rest and reorganization, the vanguard once again set foot on the way forward.

The patchwork hills of the first spine, together with the huge corpse of the Overseer's Eye, have been left behind.

Next, what Midi has to face is the second spine of the sky-curtain behemoth composed of lofty mountains, the core of the Blue Truth Sect.

In this place, large troops are basically useless.

Because in the deep mountains, the formation cannot be deployed at all, and the passage that can be used for action is just a narrow path.As long as there are a few strong men blocking the way, thousands of troops will be trapped on the spot, and may even be completely wiped out.

Not only that, but based on the magic veins under the entire mountain, there is an air-restricting array that unfolds silently.

Above this air-forbidden circle, there is a strong wind flowing, not only the people on the ground cannot fly, but also the warships far away in the sky cannot come down.

If one tried to land directly in the deep mountains, or bombed with artillery fire, the strong wind was enough to crush all the substances it blown into powder.

If you want to use an analogy, it is as if the insurmountable "seabed" between the sea of ​​​​clouds in the sky and the continent of Arad has been moved over.

The only way is to lead a small number of elites into the deep mountains.

The large force of more than 3000 people was retained by Midi, and instead of stationing in place, they were directly sent to other areas of the Skyveil Behemoth to cooperate with the air battleship to launch an attack.

And Midi herself, together with Fina and Alice, led a 30-person elite team, and marched towards the depths of the second spine.

These 30 people have all accepted the memory-catcher inheritance that Midi brought out from the maze of the mind, and with the accumulation of sufficient resources, they are at least at the level of intermediate-level memory-catchers. It's close to the level of an advanced mind catcher.

As for Fina and Alice, not to mention the firm will of the two women, the mind-shielding earrings they wear have already proved their powerful performance in actual combat.

Even the psychic attack of the temple master can be resisted. From the point of view of defense alone, the spiritual resistance of the two women has reached the level of top mind catchers.

As for Midi himself, with the support of the Neptune's inheritance, he has even surpassed the top mind catcher.

It can be said that this is a team to fight against psychic powers.

However, it wasn't until he actually set foot on this mountain road to the temple where the supreme powerhouse lived, that Midi realized that he was still thinking too simply.

The psionic power of the supreme power far exceeded his imagination.

For the first kilometer, everyone was able to move forward normally, but as time passed and the distance approached, the spiritual oppression from the surroundings became stronger and stronger, almost as if it were real, making people feel suffocated.

This psychic oppression is very pure, without any psychic power attack, no illusion, no temptation, just the power of psychic power itself.

But even so, Midi still felt that he seemed to be walking on the bottom of the deep sea, and every step he took was facing huge resistance.

Even if he is the same, Fina and Alice will naturally feel more pressure.

Not to mention the [-] mind-catchers they brought with them. After walking a kilometer, they seemed to be possessed by demons, they just stayed in place, unable to move even half a step.

In desperation, Midi had no choice but to send these people back, and only let herself, Fina, and Alice continue to go deep.
