You are all my wings...

A suction wind!

Magic -3.

This attack is aimed at the other thigh that Bovary just cut off.

Blood continued to gush from both thighs.

However, because the Water-Swallowing Ape is so large, the amount of blood it sucks out doesn't seem to be enough to cause it much damage.

Ignoring the suction wind, the water-swallowing ape regained its balance, pulled its feet out of the small swamp, opened its huge, dark mouth to reveal its fangs and thick, fleshy tongue, and then its chest and abdomen bulged dramatically.

BOOM!!!

A thick jet of water shot out from the mouth of the water-swallowing ape.

Facing directly at Karl, whose combat skills had been blocked.

Karl managed to hide his body under the door panel sword, but in the chaos, his shoulder was already hit by the aftershock. The powerful water arrow tore through his silver plate armor, turning his sturdy left arm into a bloody mess.

He mustered his magic and muscles, his face contorted with rage as he gritted his teeth and braced himself against the door-shaped sword, withstanding the pressure of the water arrows. His body was forced backward by the immense pressure of the water arrows, and the rocks beneath his boots caved in deeply.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Despite his injured shoulder, he managed to withstand the pressure from the water jets while roaring.

He truly deserves to be called the strongest knight under Berylita's command.

Seeing that its attacks on Karl were ineffective, the water-swallowing ape continued to spew water arrows, turning its head to sweep the water arrows around.

Boom! ...

The surrounding walls were riddled with holes from the water jets.

The other three knights were quite agile, and Karl had taken the first hit, managing to dodge in a sorry state. Although they were all hit by the aftershocks and lost a few points of health, their overall situation was still not as serious as Karl's.

At that moment, the water arrow swept towards Lyon.

Leon, holding Iris who hadn't finished singing, activated Shadow Step.

Magic -2, Stamina -2.

call out!!!!

He instantly flashed to a distance of more than twenty meters.

With a significant increase in agility and a slight increase in strength, the distance he could teleport when he used Shadow Step while holding Iris was six or seven meters greater than when he faced the White Unicorn.

At this point, Iris's long ode finally came to an end.

Leon could sense that at least 20 points of her magic had been activated.

The wand in her hand also gathered a large amount of magic power, emitting a very bright magical light.

Intermediate spell, Light Piercer!

Above the Water-Swallowing Ape, a hundred thick, hard light cones suddenly condensed and plummeted down with a roar as Elizabeth waved her wand.

Whoosh!!

The beams of light fell like a torrential rain.

The Water-Swallowing Ape met this wave of intermediate elemental magic head-on.

Its head tilted back, and the water arrows swung back and forth, using their powerful impact to deflect some of the light cones.

However, the consequences of its previous overuse of the water arrows became apparent; due to shooting out too much in one breath, the magic of the water arrows was about to dissipate.

Therefore, the water rocket missed part of the beam.

Yet most of the light continued to shine towards it.

The water-swallowing ape could only protect its head and face with its arms, and high-speed streams of water gushed from its body hair to dissipate the impact of being struck directly by the light cone.

Even so, dozens of holes of varying sizes were still pierced in the parts of its body that were not protected.

That is, it is over eight meters tall and has a huge body, so these holes don't look disgusting.

Although Iris's forward sway was long, with Leon leading the way, it was able to avoid being interrupted by the Water-Swallowing Ape, and the Water-Swallowing Ape basically absorbed 60% of the magic's effect.

Lyon estimated that this attack had taken away at least a dozen points of its health, and also created favorable conditions for Lyon to unleash more of its suction winds.

After the Light-Breaking Cone's effect wore off, the riders drew closer and unleashed their combat techniques to continue their slashing attacks.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Flowing Water Shatters Iron

The Water-Swallowing Ape withstood a long chant of intermediate-level light elemental magic without being stunned. Facing the three charging knights, it roared and its long tail swept out horizontally like a whip, making a sharp whistling sound as it rubbed against the air.

"Damn it!"

Bovary, who charged the fastest, was in trouble. He was too close to dodge and had no choice but to take the blow head-on.

In his haste, he raised his sword and held it in front of him, shrinking his body and gathering magic to protect himself.

BOOM!!!

Under the enormous impact, Bovary's facial muscles deformed as if stretched rubber.

"shit!"

The long tail whipped him away, sending him flying thirty meters away, where he crashed directly into the solid stone wall beside the main road.

puff!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and slid down the stone wall.

That one hit took away at least 10 points of his health, and combined with the injuries he had taken before, his health was almost half gone.

Not only him, but Milo and Mark, although they rushed slowly and dodged in time to avoid being directly hit, were also attacked by the Water Swallowing Ape with both hands and feet, constantly punching and kicking. They had to dodge and parry, and in the ensuing chaos, danger was everywhere.

If it weren't for Leon's timely activation of the combination magic "Small Mud Swamp" to properly control the attack rhythm of the Water-Swallowing Ape, these two would have been crushed to death like those third-tier knights on the 25th floor.

Iris stopped preparing intermediate-level magic and instead began rapidly casting the basic spell Light Cone to strike the blood hole left behind from a distance.

This also slightly slowed down the speed at which the Water Swallowing Ape suppressed Milo and Mark.

Because of the absence of the main tank Karl, brewing intermediate magic now will only hasten the demise of the two tanks at the front.

However, even with Iris's swift action, the battle situation still made Leon frown.

The difference in combat power is too great.

Although those knights were strong, they couldn't land many effective attacks against a powerful fourth-tier monster with maxed-out physical and magical resistance.

Not only were they unable to inflict effective damage, but even the two most resilient and best at finding angles suffered significant damage.

Are we going to have Iris use the Radiant Light again?

Combined with the Ice Crystal Convex Mirror, this move will definitely deal more damage than the Light Breaker Cone.

However, the problem with this technique is that it requires distance. If the distance is too close, the aperture will be diffused and it will not be able to generate enough power to concentrate a large area of ​​light into a high-temperature heat ray.

In the current situation, unless Berylita intervenes, it is clearly not feasible to rely solely on these four wounded knights to buy them time.

Leon has a way to defeat this water-swallowing ape, but his current team is not enough.

His intermediate-level magic, Hurricane Bullet, is fast to fire and quite powerful, but each shot consumes about ten points of magic power, so it can only be used for a critical strike.

While he pondered a solution, he continued his work, using the suction wind and the small mud pit to suppress the speed of the water-swallowing ape.

The Water-Swallowing Ape is a powerful fourth-tier monster. Logically, it should have at least double the tier's attributes, meaning an average of 80 attribute points. Some attributes would certainly be higher, such as strength and health, which would definitely be more than 80.

The total damage inflicted on it by everyone so far is estimated to be only 27 or 28 points. More than half of that was contributed by Iris, a quarter by Leon's suction wind, and the rest was left by the knights.

Of course, without a few knights holding the line, Iris and Lyon wouldn't have been able to cast spells so easily.

At this point, Bovary and Carles regained their composure and prepared to join the battle.

Leon took a moment to wave to the two of them, and then cast two basic water healing spells on them.

Magic -2.

After his promotion, his mana reserves were much more abundant. He still had 25 mana points left and had only used 2 stamina points. He had already stuffed the meat in his inventory that could speed up mana recovery into his mouth and chewed it quickly.

As long as I don't cast intermediate spells, my magic power is still sufficient.

Moreover, he is now an elemental mage, so even his ordinary water healing spells are much more powerful than the normal version.

It's unlikely that their external injuries can be healed instantly, but restoring them to combat readiness temporarily shouldn't be a problem.

Sure enough, as Leon's healing spell was applied, the two who had been relatively listless showed a clear improvement in their condition.

Putting everything else aside, its analgesic and hemostatic effects are absolutely superb.

The way the two looked at Leon changed slightly.

Karl channeled his magic, his muscles bulging, his face turning crimson, and with a roar, he charged forward:

"I want to do it again!"

It seems he's not giving up on the chance to show off his fourth-level combat skills and wants to try again.

As he leaped into the air, magic swirled around the door-shaped sword, and the extremely sharp sword light finally fell with his slashing motion.

This time, because Leon had created several small swamps, the Water Swallowing Ape was constrained by them and lost its balance again. It did not notice that Karl, who was accelerating from a distance, was actually slashed in the chest from the front by this blow.

Demonic Slash!

BOOM!!!

The powerful magical light blade, combined with the immense force of the door panel sword, slashed a four-centimeter-thick, nearly one-meter-long gash in the chest of the water-swallowing ape.

Lyon's eyes lit up. His chest was closest to his heart. What a great opportunity!

He started to inhale again!

Magic -3.

call out!!!!

High-speed cyclones form instantly.

An even more powerful jet of blood immediately gushed from the Water-Swallowing Ape's chest.

The wound clearly involved an artery, and the gushing blood was much higher than before.

The combined effect of these two attacks should be comparable to Iris's Light Piercing Cone, cutting off more than ten points of the Water Devouring Ape's health.

In other words, the Water Swallowing Ape's health may only be half left!

The water-swallowing ape roared, its fists swirling with high-speed water currents as it blasted towards Karl, who had just landed.

It is its other offensive skill, Flowing Water Shattering Iron Strike!

It is a powerful skill that combines physical strength and magic power!

Moreover, its powerful physique provides high physical resistance, which prevents it from being stunned every time it takes a powerful attack.

At this time, Karl's body still had a lot of muscle soreness caused by forcibly launching the fourth-level combat skill, and he could not avoid the punch that followed.

BOOM!!!

His door-panel sword had barely held on when his wrist couldn't withstand the immense force. The sword was sent flying by the flowing water from the tip of the Water-Swallowing Ape's fist, and he took the brunt of the fierce punch to the chest!

Bang!

Karl wasn't sent flying; he stood still and withstood the high-speed water flow impact of the punch, with most of his bones being crushed!

Critically ill!

With just one punch, Karl, who was already seriously injured, had his health bar almost completely depleted and was in danger of dying at any moment.

Bovary, startled and enraged, rushed over, grabbed Karl, and pulled him back rapidly.

The Water-Swallowing Ape punched Milo, who had just finished using a level three combat technique.

Whoosh!!!

Just as he was about to be hit, a gust of wind swept by, blowing Milo back several steps, causing the Water-Swallowing Ape's punch to miss.

It was Lyon's emergency activation of a basic wind spell, Gale!

"Elise, aim the long-voiced Judgment Spear at the wound in the chest, turn the power up to the maximum, I'll take care of the suppression."

As soon as Leon finished speaking, he drew his second-tier demon sword and charged forward.
