Witch Monastery

Intense energy exploded on its skin, instantly shattering large areas of its skin, leaving four obvious holes and gaps on its arms, and causing the Berserker to let out a painful scream!

Its body staggered, and then it turned its head to look at the source of energy, its chaotic eyes

The body was filled with hatred. This was the damage of the magic energy explosion, which could directly decompose all matter and energy. Its demonic skin could not block such damage, and it was slightly injured in an instant!

Not only it, but many of the orcs present were shocked at this moment. Being trapped by Hawthorne and the demons, they were all overwhelmed with gloom and even despair, but now it seems...

It’s not that hopeless?

"Destroy the demons first!" Hawthorne shouted loudly, stepped back a few steps, raised his right hand, and four magic energy explosion arrays appeared above him again. Fierce energy beams shot straight to the distance, and the other side was chasing the berserker who was killing the orcs.

He ignored the one before. Although that guy had locked his hatred on him, if it wanted to hurt him, it would first have to cross the magical thorns on the ground, and then go through the line of more than a dozen orcs, so he was not panicked at all.

And he needs to save a few orcs to show his position: fight against the devil!

Having said that, the berserker was obviously more ferocious. It had even killed the Chimaera that was fighting against it and was now hunting down the rest of the orcs.

However, it was completely unprepared for Hawthorne's magic energy explosion, and naturally did not dodge at all. So with Hawthorne's current accuracy, of course all four shots hit it!

In an instant, the fierce energy beam easily tore apart the demonic skin on its back, completely penetrated its armor, and also exploded a boil on its back!

The yellow-green pus, accompanied by a poisonous stench, gushed out in all directions. The faces of the orcs being hunted became even uglier, and one of them even lowered his head and began to vomit!

He was poisoned, but in fact, he was also saved. The Berserker gave up attacking him and turned to run towards Hawthorne in the distance!

Chapter 263 Temporary Alliance

Danqi Xiao's expression now was as complicated as his mood.

He had just passed through the magical thorn field, dodged the tentacles summoned by Celine, and bypassed Anno's line. He finally came to Hawthorne's side. He wanted to jump and chop up to avenge his chimera, but he didn't expect that the demon suddenly ran out of the cave and attacked their line from the rear, putting their situation in danger.

And at this critical moment concerning life and death, it was his enemy, the Sein man in front of him, who took the initiative to help them attract some firepower and resolve part of the crisis?

Even though he was filled with anger, the feeling was extremely complicated, and the giant axe in his hand could not be brought down for a while.

"Help--!"

There was a cry of surprise from the back. It was the voice of the Centaur Matron Willow Greenvine: "Stop fighting, come and destroy the demon first!"

"The pollution is still getting worse, and all your chimeras are going to die!"

Hearing this, Danqi gritted his teeth. As the future leader of the Owlbeast Tribe, he took advantage and suppressed the anger brought by his identity as the master of Chimaira Barbari: "You saved your life, Sein!"

After saying that, he turned around and rushed back towards the devil: "Die, devil--!"

Further back, Shilin put down her casting gesture, looked at Denchi's back, and said in a slightly mocking voice: "You saved your life, orc."

At this moment, the Berserker that was shot by Hawthorne at the beginning had already passed through the thorny ground and came to this side of the battlefield. The magic thorns scratched his feet, and the poisonous demon blood was stained everywhere, but the demon was unaware and walked straight towards Hawthorne in the distance.

Danqi held the axe in both hands, endured the pain from the wound on his foot, and jumped into the air. The sharp steel axe drew an arc in the air and chopped directly at the head of the berserker!

laugh--

The berserker turned sideways, but Danchi twisted his waist and adjusted his posture at the critical moment, so that the axe blade cut the skin on the berserker's shoulder, making this guy bleed again!

After landing, Danqi rolled over to avoid the demon's counterattack. He pressed his strong body over the ground covered with charred ashes, then hurriedly got up and continued to confront the demon.

Following their leader's lead, the remaining orcs, though still angry, turned around and prioritized destroying the demons. Hawthorne continued to fire magic blasts, attracting another berserker from a distance to prevent these killing mad guys from causing more casualties.

The next moment, dozens of cowards rushed out from the cave, screaming and rushing towards the seriously injured Chimeras and Goatmen, as if their number was endless and they could not be killed at all!

In the back, An Nuo was stunned for a moment by the sudden change in the enemy relationship, and then she came back to her senses. Holding the demon that appeared again in the distance, she gritted her teeth secretly, held up the shield and took a step forward. The long sword in her hand glowed with golden light, and she slashed directly at the berserker demon that was fighting with Danqi.

laugh--

The Berserker's skin, which was as hard as a rock in front of the fine steel battle axe, was as fragile as tofu in front of Anno's sword. The golden blade easily cut through its dark body, and the shining golden light on the sword continued to burn its body!

Intense pain attacked its soul, and the Berserker Demon's toad-like mouth let out a shrill roar: "Ah——!"

The pain brought the demon's fury, and its claws, which were bigger than a human head, slammed into Anno's body.

clang--

Anno raised his shield to block the harsh sound of gold

There was a friction sound. If it was just an ordinary steel shield, it would be deformed if it was not torn apart by this blow. But unfortunately, what she was holding at the moment was also a magic shield!

She stepped back a few steps, feeling that the force of this attack was not as strong as the Chimera's dive and collision. She immediately gained confidence and shouted loudly, "That orc!"

"Take your people and go to the back to support, I will deal with it!"

Before she finished her words, she took a step forward from Adu, and the long sword in her hand glowed with golden light for the second time, cutting through the body of the Berserker like a knife cutting cheese!

Behind him, Danqi, who was angry because she had stolen his prey, turned his head and saw that the satyrs were in danger. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and growl, "Leave it to you!"

As he said this, he turned around, avoided the two berserkers that were charging at him, and ran back with his warriors.

On this side, Annuo's Holy Slash chopped down the berserker with one sword after another!

During the battle with the orcs just now, she was very stingy and was unwilling to waste any mana, and she didn't even use the Holy Slash once.

Paladins are "half spellcasters", meaning their spellcasting ability is only half of that of normal priests. For example, they need to reach level five to master second-level spells, and their mana is only equivalent to that of a third-level priest.

Poor endurance is one of the few shortcomings of Paladins. They need to use it carefully and calculate their remaining mana carefully to avoid indulging in the pleasure of killing anyone with one sword, wasting mana early and finally falling into the embarrassing situation of being able to only attack like ordinary warriors.

But now, when facing the devil, Annuo no longer needs to be frugal. He uses the Holy Slash sword one after another, slashing at the opponent as if it were free!

"Roar--!"

The power of this light was restraining the evil demons, and the Berserker howled in pain again. It had been invincible just now, like a god of war, but now facing An Nuo, it was almost instantly seriously injured!

Seeing this scene, Hawthorne couldn't help but feel deeply moved, thinking that when facing these demons, the Holy Slash was indeed the most cost-effective and irreplaceable damaging ability.

The reason why he felt this way was because he had previously obtained a fourth-level spell from the system, Fear Slash. This spell not only allowed his attacks to inflict powerful mental damage, but also added an effect of fear on himself that lasted for one minute.

But when facing demons, Holy Slash can easily achieve the same damage effect. Although it lacks a special effect of fear, Fear Slash requires a full six points of mana consumption, while Holy Slash only needs two points!

The huge gap of three times mana consumption is enough to judge the superiority of these two abilities.

Not to mention, Fear Slash is still a spell, so whether it is the third-ring spell counter or the sixth-ring spell nullification barrier, it can be restrained.

However, the Holy Slash is not a spell, but a special ability that every Paladin can master at level 2...

Alas, I can’t envy the power of the Paladin.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and fired four more magic energy explosions, beating the Berserker to near death. Then he shouted, "Annuo, don't kill him, let me do it!"

Although the situation on the battlefield is very critical, he really needs purification points!

In front, An Nuo raised the golden sword and was about to chop it down again, but after hearing his voice, he paused: "Okay!"

Then, she took the initiative to disperse the golden light on the blade, stepped back with her shield raised, and turned to rush towards another berserker.

Hawthorne raised his shield and stepped forward, summoning his long sword. He drew his arm back, rushed to the side of the Berserker, and stabbed with his sword.

laugh--

The flaming sword blade pierced the Berserker's body with difficulty. The demon's skin was already highly resistant to fire. But Hawthorne's real killing method was more than that. His eyes were focused, and the moment he stabbed it, he growled: "Purification!"

hum-

"Roar?!"

The warm, purifying white light instantly covered the Berserker's body, and the already severely injured giant demon instantly felt a shudder from the soul. This was a feeling it had never experienced before, especially the feeling of the root of its soul being wounded, which even caused its roar to carry a bit of fear it had never felt before!

It then raised its claws and scratched Hawthorne's back.

clang--

He blocked it with his magic shield, but the other claw still instantly pierced through the multiple layers of protective force field on his body. Although the power of the Armor of Agathys froze the claws of the demon, it also disappeared along with the force field of false life!

The destructive power of the Berserker was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

Chapter 264 Five Thousand Seven!

Fortunately, the Berserker only has this little bit of strength left.

"Ow—"

This guy wanted to scratch him again, but he was already seriously injured and could no longer resist the power of purification.

Its huge body was quickly decomposed into black mist, and then purified one by one by the white light, disappearing into thin air. Only the pus and blood that splashed when the abscesses on its body exploded remained on the ground, proving that it once existed in this world.

"call……"

He let out a long breath, without taking time to see how many purification points he had gained in this round. Hawthorne turned around and looked at the next powerful enemy.

At this time, the second Berserker had also passed through

The magic thorns were blown away, leaving a pool of magic blood on the ground. Annuo was fighting with it, but this time, she did not wield the Holy Slash like she did before, as if it was free.

She used the defensive power of her shield and plate armor to carefully block the berserker's scratches, while counterattacking with her sword.

The demon's claws, like steel knives, kept slashing at Anno's shield, plate armor, or helmet, making clanging metal collision sounds and leaving white marks. Apart from the impact force that penetrated the metal, it could hardly cause any harm to Anno!

At this moment, Hawthorne suddenly realized that the plate armor she was wearing was not an ordinary item, but a plate armor that was also imbued with magical power.

Therefore, even if her shield occasionally failed to block and was hit by the Berserker, it would only leave a white scratch on the large iron plate, and would not cause any damage to the knight inside.

Realizing this, he secretly gasped.

An Nuo, you are so rich!

You know, the cost of making a standard set of plate armor is already 1,500 gold coins. And the cost of attaching protective magic to such a large set of armor is an astronomical figure: to exaggerate, the cost of Anno's plate armor may even be more than 10,000 gold coins!

All I can say is that as expected of a Paladin from a prestigious family, Annuo has absolutely spent a lot of money to protect himself!

However, her solid defense alone was not enough to keep her from losing in a duel with the Berserker. In fact, she was still strong on offense.

Although the steel swords in their hands are just ordinary items, paladins can generally learn the second-level spell "Magic Weapon" to turn the ordinary weapons in their hands into magic weapons.

Although the power of this spell is not as strong as the three-ring "elemental weapon" mastered by Hawthorne, it is more than enough to cut through the defense of the demon's skin!

As a Vengeance Paladin who focuses on attacking, she can also master the first-level spell "Hunter's Mark" which should be exclusive to rangers. This spell can mark the weaknesses of the enemy for the caster, so at this moment, Annuo can poke the pain points of this berserker like an experienced demon hunter!

Taking all these into consideration, even without using the Supreme Slash, she can now fight this Berserker alone and not be at a disadvantage at all!

Paladin, so powerful.

A wealthy Paladin is undoubtedly more powerful!

With such a sigh in his heart, Huo Sang did not delay, drew out his sword and walked forward quickly, went around the back of the Berserker Demon, and attacked the behemoth with An Nuo from the front and the back. It was a pity that the ability of purification had to be purified to be triggered, otherwise he would never want to fight such a smelly demon in close combat.

Fortunately, even though it was a behemoth nearly three meters tall, the Berserker didn't have another eye behind it. The attack from both sides made this guy even more frantic, and also greatly reduced the pressure on An Nuo's defense.

While the two of them attacked the demon from the front and back, the others were not idle either. Nidalee chanted the spell again, covering the cave exit with thorns. The cowards were short, so every coward that rushed out of the cave would have its feet and calves scratched, limping, and then under the orcs' axes, they had almost no resistance.

Heidi was also casting spells, but she looked a bit lazy, just randomly casting magic ice arrows, just for show. She kept retreating, trying to get away from the chaotic battlefield, and then her expression changed, she realized something, turned her head and looked at Celine further behind her, frowned, and asked, "Are you not casting spells anymore?"

At the back, Celine, who had indeed been idle, smiled and said, "It wouldn't be a bad thing to let these demons kill a few more orcs, right?"

Heidi shook her head. She had more considerations. "At least we should pretend. We were clearly in the upper hand just now, but the master called for the elimination of the demons first. It's obvious that he wants to reach a cooperation with these orcs."

"We can at least cast two spells, even if it's just to help the master. It's better than just sitting here doing nothing, right?"

Xilin tilted her head slightly after hearing this, thought for a few seconds, and nodded gently: "What you said makes sense, well, anyway, there is too much mana to use up..."

As she said this, she raised her hand again and performed the five-ring version of the colorful jet. Suddenly, endless light shot out and covered the third berserker, the guy who was attracted by Hawthorne's magic explosion and had just stepped into the thorny land.

As a result, the demon lost its vision and its threat was greatly reduced. Over there, the white light of purification lit up on Hawthorne's sword, and after purifying the second Berserker, they rushed towards the third Berserker, which had already lost its eyes without delay.

In a short while, the guy was also taken down by the two of them.

At the same time, under the joint siege of the orcs and the sheepmen, the last berserker was finally destroyed.

They had no magic weapons, so no matter how hard they swung their axes, it would only scrape the berserkers' bodies; they also had no thick magic plate armor, so they had to be careful to dodge while attacking - and this undoubtedly seriously affected their offensive efficiency.

Most of the satyrs were low-level spellcasters, and could only use the first-level spell "Entanglement" to summon large vines to try to tie up the dice berserker's hands and feet, and then use the magic fire arrow to scrape it. Although they knew that the demon's skin had a strong resistance to fire, they still had no time to cast spells.

With their limited abilities, they have no better choice.

Fortunately, this is only resistance, not immunity, so no matter how weak the damage from scraping is, it can accumulate into a fatal injury and kill this demon.

Finally, at this moment, the battle is over.

After purifying the third Berserker, Hawthorne and Annuo retreated quickly, and did not feel relieved until they reunited with Heidi and others. Then they opened the system and began to count their gains.

When he saw the number and the details, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then he was overjoyed.

One thousand and nine!

It's not a total of 1,900 points, but each and every berserker provides himself with a full 1,900 points of massive purification points!

The total added up to five thousand seven hundred points, plus his previous gains, his purification points exceeded six thousand!

If he purifies the three-headed berserker, he can level up again, or upgrade the monastery to level three!

He really didn't expect that the purification points given by these guys would be so high, even higher than when he first purified Yuta and Cuibisi. He couldn't help but feel happy, and the previous irritability and haze were swept away.
