Heart of the Castle

Chapter 215 Fierce Battle in the Rotten Swamp ([-])
Strictly speaking, hags are not very suitable for organizing frontal attacks. They are very powerful and can move freely in the mud like flexible fish; their nails are sharper than ordinary swords and are highly poisonous. The skin is tough and haggard, and the hard leather armor with the highest defense is not well tanned.But they only have four fingers, and the lack of the key thumb makes these monsters unable to equip weapons, and after leaving the lurking quagmire, their movements become quite sluggish.

Fighting alone, these hags are at most equivalent to level 2 fighters, but the number makes up for this shortcoming. Li Wei killed at least 10 hags in a few minutes, and the number of cuts was several times more. But the ugly black shadow swaying in front of him didn't seem to decrease in the slightest.

Although supported by fighting spirit, Li Wei also felt a little tired. This kind of tiredness was not only physical, but more psychological.The hags continued to attack continuously, one by one, fearless of death, rushed towards the long sword burning with silver-white flames, comparable to the most fanatical believers.

This kind of situation couldn't be explained by pure ferocity. No matter how vicious the hag was, when dozens of her companions lay dead on the ground, she would somewhat shrink back.

Even the rest of the team noticed something was wrong.

"It's weird! There seems to be something wrong with these hags!" Wilps' voice came from between swinging swords and fighting. The Grand Knight Commander has a lot of combat experience, and he doesn't sound tired at all.

"It's true!" A muffled roar came from the end of the team. Captain Els panted heavily, and rushed back trampling on the hag's body. Most of the thorns have been broken off. "If these hags are always so cruel, I don't believe that someone will be able to pass through the rotting swamp!"

"A hag should be a kind of bullying monster...it should be..." Babrupa huddled in the middle of the team and said something that he himself began to doubt.

A muffled grunt of pain came from the line of defense composed of priests. When a priest swung his warhammer, his strength was a little lighter, and he did not knock down the hag in front of him on the spot.The hag's sharp claws slashed across his arm, and the leather armor protecting his arm was cut immediately, blood gushed out, and there were streaks of black inside!
"Back back quickly, Speck, cast a spell on yourself!" Priest Fallon ordered, and then he swung his warhammer to push it up.However, priests are not as powerful as knights in physical fitness and grudge, and warhammers are much less effective than sharp weapons against tough monsters like hags.Not long after the priest named Speck retreated, two more priests were injured one after another. One of them only injured his thigh and could barely continue fighting. up.

With two people missing in a row, the defense line in front of the team was suddenly in jeopardy. The pale Babrupa raised the potato peeling knife and wanted to join the battle group, but his bravery was rewarded by Priest Fallon's resolute refusal.

"You can just stay in the back." Priest Fallon said loudly while smashing a hag's claw, "You still need to lead the way, if you die here, we won't be able to find a second guide... "

Priest Fallon's words were suddenly interrupted, and a hag jumped on him while he was distracted. The two standing on the left and right of Priest Fallon swung their warhammers and smashed the hag's head. The same hands tightly grasped Pastor Fallon's neck, and the sharp nails sank deeply into it.

Priest Fallon struggled hard, and the warhammer hit the hag's arm one after another. At the same time, a layer of faint purple lightning lingered around his body, making the hag groan, but he refused to let go.Priest Fallon's face turned purple, and his swing of the hammer became weaker and weaker.

"Push!"

The hag's hands suddenly lost strength, Reverend Faron kicked them away, and gasped violently while clutching his numb and sore throat.Babrupa's proud round face appeared from behind the hag, and the black hag's blood was dripping from the knife in his hand that could only peel potatoes.

"Well, it's not as stubborn as potato skins, is it?" Babrupa said with satisfaction.

Pastor Fallon narrowly escaped death, but the situation facing the team worsened.Fallon, the leader of the storm priest, was unable to continue fighting for a while, and the remaining priests couldn't resist, and retreated step by step, and retreated past the place guarded by Li Wei and Wilps in the blink of an eye.

Wilps, who was in the middle of the fierce battle, obviously felt more pressure. After the priests retreated back, besides the front, the silhouette of a hag also appeared on the side.Wilpus let out a roar, and the red dou qi light suddenly bloomed, spewing out a sword light, forcing the hag around him back, and then shouted hastily.

"Master Li Wei, you can't go on like this! Get serious!"

"Okay!" Li Wei, who became more and more aggrieved after fighting, had already had such an idea, agreed, and then raised the long sword in his hand.

"Sweep away the darkness, have mercy on the weak, and be fearless!"

The knight's motto was like a thunderclap, and with Li Wei's roar, bright horns sounded in unison, and then a faint golden light spread in all directions centered on Li Wei. Feeling a surge of courage in his chest, the exhaustion and timidity that had lingered in his heart just now disappeared without a trace like a shadow in the sun.

"This is... the God of War's domain of courage?" Priest Faron blurted out in surprise, and then he saw a bright flame appear above Li Wei's raised left hand. This flame showed a crimson color in the air Rotating slowly, it makes people feel a sense of fear.With the appearance of the fireball, the cold and wet swamp suddenly turned into a hot desert, with gusts of hot wind rushing towards us!

"Powerful Flame Strike? Or Explosive Fireball? No, this kind of power far exceeds the scope of ordinary magic and divine spells. Could it be the favored one of the Lord of Elements?" This thought flashed across Priest Faron's mind like lightning. , and then Babrupa's shrill voice sounded beside him.

"Hey, my little master, the fireball technique is not very lethal to hags. The surface of these guys' bodies is covered with sludge and slime, so they can't be burned! If it's the lightning technique, the effect will be..."

The fireball flew out of Li Wei's hand with a long flame tail, and then fell into the place where the hags were most dense.

"boom!"

The loud noise was earth-shattering, the air waves surged, and even the dark cloud summoned by the priest of the storm in the sky was shaken by it.Starting from the center of the explosion, waves of crimson flames overflowed, and the wet hag was only slightly exposed to the crimson flames, burning like dry firewood.The hags surrounded by flames screamed and ran around, bringing chaos to those who were not burned by the fireball. In the blink of an eye, all the hags standing in front of the team turned into flaming living torches.

"My merciful Father God..." Babrupa's voice rang twice dryly like a gear lacking oil, and then stopped.
