Witch Monastery

Hawthorne then shouted and began to add magical buffs to himself: first-level Mage Armor, first-level extended Longstride, third-level extended elemental weapon, fourth-level False Life and Armor of Agatha Christ, and second-level extended Blur.

After filling up his body, Anno, wearing heavy armor, came to his side, and then the two of them rushed to the front line side by side.

In the distance, the mountain folks charged after the earth dragon's sudden attack. The unprepared guards and adventurers could only barely defend themselves, and were now in danger.

Fortunately, the joining of Hawthorne and the other man bought them a little breathing time.

The first wave of the charge was not launched by the elite of the five giants of the Mountain Cleansers Alliance, but by small tribes whose total population was probably only a few hundred and who could only send out less than fifty warriors at a time.

They are mainly composed of races with a tendency towards chaos or evil by nature, such as goblins, gnolls, and bugbears. Not only are they poorly equipped, but they are also generally disorganized, undisciplined, and lack training. It's okay for them to attack the weak in chaos with their ruthlessness, but once they encounter a truly powerful enemy, they will immediately shrink back!

Just like now, when Hawthorne and Annuo stepped onto the battlefield, they immediately became like two stubborn stones in the sea waves, standing still no matter how the enemy waves hit them, and the long swords in their hands ruthlessly reaping the lives of the enemies!

Hawthorne carefully raised his shield, focusing on defense, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack and intercept. In fact, for him now, the efficiency of magic energy explosion is much higher than close combat, but if there is no strong front line, blindly choosing long-range attack will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

Therefore, he had no choice but to stand here and give the garrison troops and other adventurers who were interested in protecting the town a chance to catch their breath. In the back, more townspeople and adventurers who had reacted were also rushing over.

As long as other people rush up and form a new formation to resist the enemy, he can retreat and turn back into a ruthless magic energy burst shooting machine!

As he thought about this, he saw that more and more people in the town had reacted, put on armor, and joined the front. There were human adventurers, dwarves from the mining group, and orcs who were also mountain dwellers but belonged to a different tribe than the attackers.

Although the team was a bit of a ragtag group, the enemy was not well-trained either. The two sides were fighting each other like chickens, and for a while, the situation actually became a bit stalemate.

At this moment, behind the attackers, looking at the battle line that was gradually being reorganized, Ilarod couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that our allies are not that reliable."

"They are just a bunch of rabble." Ruger Stoneskin snorted coldly, holding up his huge, bald head. "If we really want to tear open the defense of this town, we still have to rely on the absolute elite!"

At one side, an Orc warrior from the Owlbeast Tribe frowned and then shook his head: "No, some warriors from the Stonefist Tribe joined the battle. They blocked our attack."

He is the chief warrior of the Owlbeast Tribe, a Chimaera commander in his prime. Now he is commanding the battle here in place of the chief - their chief is too old and has a disabled leg, making him unfit to step into the battlefield.

The Stonefist tribe he was talking about was another Orc tribe in the mountains. To be honest, the Owlbeast tribe was somewhat related to them.

However, compared to joining the Mountain Cleaners Alliance, the Stonefist Tribe chose to get closer to Libel Port a long time ago. Some of their tribesmen even joined the civil organizations of Libel Port and became bodyguards.

They gained a lot of benefits from their dealings with Libel Port, and this benefit made Yanhong of the Owlbeast Tribe jealous. At this moment, she gnashed her teeth and said, "These guys are traitors to the mountains. They must be crushed by absolute force!"

Jealousy is also one of the sources of this conflict: those who did not reap the benefits are jealous of those who did, and so in the name of the righteous cause of "blood feud must be repaid", they plunder their former compatriots.

Chapter 286 Stone-skinned Giant Bear

Hearing this, Toren's expression changed: "Then, I will lead the army to charge?"

The tauren of their tribe were ready, waiting for Ilarod's order, and then led by him to launch a deadly charge on the enemy.

"No, I'll do it!"

The one who spoke was Ruger Stoneskin. As he spoke, the bear man grinned, revealing a slightly hideous smile.

He has already secured victory tonight, so now he is trying to steal the credit.

"Everyone, just wait and see." He said, "For these guys, we should use our absolute strength to crush them all the way!"

As he said this, Ruger stretched his shoulders and suddenly roared, "Shamans, give me strength!"

Along with this roar, his body began to deform: his head began to grow larger, his bones began to change, thick brown hair grew on his body, and sharp claws began to grow on his fingertips.

His body leaned forward, and finally his front paws turned into bear claws and fell to the ground. He had turned into a terrifying monster, a huge brown bear that was nearly two meters tall and weighed nearly one ton!

"Roar--!"

A furious roar came from his throat, and three druids came forward and cast spells to buff him: one cast the first-level spell "Long Stride" to provide him with stronger mobility; one cast the second-level spell "Giant/Shrink" to make his body bigger again, and in a blink of an eye he became a giant bear nearly three meters tall and weighing more than three tons;

The last druid was one of the few in their tribe who could cast fourth-level spells. He silently chanted the spell, and the real "Stoneskin" was cast on Ruger's body, making his skin as hard as granite, and ordinary metal weapons could not cause any damage at all.

This is the truly crucial spell. With it, almost no one in the Rockseeker Town can cause any harm to him.

"Roar--!"

Feeling that all the magic buffs have been applied, Ruger Stoneskin roared and activated his rage ability. He is also a barbarian. Although his path is different from Toren's, they both have the ability of "rage" and their output is equally powerful!

A nearly five-meter-tall phantom of a giant bear appeared behind him. It was the symbol of their tribe's bear totem. This totem could provide him with various powerful resistances. With so many abilities combined, Ruger was almost invincible at this moment!

No matter magic weapons or various elemental damages, it is difficult to cause any fatal damage to him!

Sensing his current strong state, Ruger Stoneskin was full of confidence. He then took a step forward, and the nearly three-meter-tall behemoth just charged forward, stirring up a strong wind that was unstoppable!

In the back, Ilarod's eyes were full of admiration. His tribe lacked such strong and brave warriors, so he very much hoped to form an alliance with them.

And Toren's face was filled with shock.

Although he thought that in a one-on-one

In a one-on-one fight, he could defeat Ruger and win, but seeing the giant bear covered with all kinds of magical effects, he couldn't help but wonder, even if ten of himself came, they might not be enough for him to beat!

Apart from anything else, the fine steel battle axe in his hand might not be able to break his skin at all!

magic……

If I want to be stronger in the future, I still have to rely on more magical power!

With this thought in mind, he glanced at Ilarod next to him. There were very few people in their tribe who were good at casting magic, and this one was the most powerful spellcaster he knew.

He began to wonder if there was any way to trick some of the power of wilderness magic from Ilarod...

As for taking the credit, he was not in a hurry. As a tauren, he was very patient: he knew that the resistance of Rockseeker Town would not be so weak, so his warriors would definitely have a chance to show their abilities later.

At this moment, in front, a giant brown bear nearly three meters tall and five meters long was fighting with the adventurers from the Rock Seeker Camp.

But it was more of a one-sided massacre than a battle!

"What kind of monster is that!"

"I don't know. My arrows can't penetrate its skin!"

"Damn, his body is harder than rock!"

……

A group of adventurers were fighting and retreating. The wanderer among them took out his light crossbow, strung it, and then shot it. However, he found that the steel-pointed crossbow arrows that had always been invincible were bounced off like a child's toy when they hit the giant bear!

Not only that, they also discovered in despair that the giant bear's speed was far beyond theirs, and the distance between the two sides was shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Damn it, let's fight him! Brothers, let's charge!"

The middle-aged male dwarf warrior in chain mail gritted his teeth and stopped retreating. He raised his machete with both hands and chopped at the giant bear head-on.

boom--

His machete hit the giant bear's body, but it was like hitting granite. Not only did it not produce any results, but it bounced back instead, and even a huge gap was broken on the blade!

The giant bear just slapped the brave warrior sideways with its slap, and the body flew out instantly, with a sunken sternum and blood foaming from his mouth and nostrils. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive!

"Aim at that giant bear and shoot!"

Inside the town, a team of twelve crossbowmen discovered the battle situation here and realized that the destructive power of this giant bear might be more terrifying than that of a hundred ordinary mountain warriors. Immediately, their commander shouted orders.

But unfortunately, a rain of arrows fell, most of which hit the bear accurately, but were deflected by its skin, causing no damage at all. This rain of arrows attracted the giant bear's attention instead. Ruger Stoneskin then turned around and roared towards this side. It was obvious to the naked eye that this would be another bloody massacre!

boom--!

Suddenly, a fireball flew in from a distance and hit the giant bear, causing a strong explosion in an instant, and the shock wave and smoke spread forty to fifty meters around. The terrifying high temperature ignited the corpses around the giant bear, adding another ball of fire to the chaotic and smoky battlefield.

The many adventurers attacked by the giant bear took the opportunity to retreat. At the same time, they turned their heads and saw a female half-elf magician with brown hair, short stature and flat chest, wearing a purple pointed magic hat. She was holding her thick spell book, staring at her victory results with her eyes wide open!

"Don't be afraid, reorganize the formation, I'll take care of it!" She called out to the other adventurers around her, trying to boost their courage. Although she herself was clearly just a rookie, she knew that at this time, as a spellcaster, she had to stand up!

The remaining people gradually regained their confidence, and regrouped fearfully, holding their weapons, trying to form a new line in front of the mage.

At the same time, they were also observing the smoke and dust ahead, wanting to see what the giant bear's current condition was like, and whether it had suffered any fatal damage from the fireball.

The fire was still raging, but a giant bear gradually emerged from the smoke and dust. It was the body of Ruger. Some of its hair was burned off, but overall it was completely unharmed!

The poor magician's face turned pale, then she gritted her teeth, lowered her head to flip through the book, anxiously looking for other suitable spells.

In front, the giant bear roared, then spread its four legs and charged straight towards her!

"Stop it!"

"Protect the mage, she is our hope!"

Several adventurers and guards shouted, waving their spears or shields, and tried to use their strength to buy time for the mage to cast spells. However, the difference in size and weight between the two sides was too great. The wild giant bear, which was blessed with magic buffs and was still in a violent state, was like a real heavy tank, ruthlessly crushing these mortals!

Chapter 287: Xiong Man? He will never come back!

Ordinary swords, spears and guns hit the giant bear, but only made a clinking sound and could not cause any damage. On the contrary, every time Ruger Stoneskin slapped with his claws, or even just a simple collision when charging forward, the person hit would immediately fly backwards, and if not killed, would be seriously injured!

He rushed all the way to the magician, who obviously did not have much combat experience. She was still looking through her messy spellbook.

, struggling to figure out which spell might be effective against the mad bear, until the bear came to him, then he belatedly realized and urgently inserted a new spell: "Shield!"

boom--

The bear's claws slapped her body, and in an instant her delicate body flew away like a kite with a broken string. She fell heavily to the ground, her internal organs churning, and even with the protection of the shield, she couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Her internal organs were already injured.

The giant bear's eyes flashed with resentment, and he was about to step forward to deal with this sole threat. He relied on his magic to possess this nearly invincible defense, but magic has its own weaknesses!

Firstly, they can all be dispelled at once by the third-level spell "Dispel Magic"; secondly, these spells and the protection of the giant bear totem can only protect his body, not his spirit, and he can still be easily immobilized by the mages!

Even if these were excluded, the various elemental damages created by the mages would be able to penetrate all kinds of protection and harm his body, just like the fireball spell just now.

Even though the damage would be blocked to a very minor degree, it was still not something he could ignore. So it didn't matter whether the other ordinary people died or not, but these spellcasters had to die immediately!

With this thought in mind, he then stepped forward, ready to deal a fatal blow to the magician.

But at this moment, a silver light suddenly streaked across the sky in the distance and hit its huge bear head!

boom--!

A deafening roar followed, and Luger's mind went blank in an instant. His huge body was then paralyzed, lost control, and fell to the ground, unable to move for a while.

When he regained consciousness, he felt a sudden chill in his body, as if he had been cursed. Four fierce energy beams also fell on his body almost at the same time!

"Roar--!"

He felt the pain of his flesh and blood being decomposed, and his internal organs also felt a sharp pain. The Stoneskin Technique did not play any role at this moment, and the protection of his ancestors also seemed quite limited at this moment, causing him to let out a painful roar!

Another wizard!

I hate mages!

He was very sure that this was the work of a wizard. Apart from these spellcasters, no one could break his defense.

His huge body then stood up and looked in the direction where the energy beam came from with hatred. He saw a white-haired figure standing in the distance, chanting a spell, and summoned four circular magic circles the size of washbasins above his body!

He is actually a Sein!

That’s right, you will die now!

The severe pain from the decomposition of flesh and blood attracted Luger's hatred. At this moment, the red-haired magician fell to the ground and seemed to be no threat in the short term. So he stretched out his sturdy four legs and rushed towards the white-haired man like crazy!

The person who came to the rescue was naturally Hawthorne. A fireball exploded here, and the noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of the whole audience, so he looked over here.

Then you won’t know until you see it, and you will be shocked to find that the one who is bullying here is actually a bear barbarian with the buff of giant transformation!

Bear barbarians generally refer to barbarians who choose giant bears as totems and are on the path of totem warriors. But if it were just that, it would be nothing, at most the defense would be a little tougher, but this guy in front of him could actually turn into a real bear!

That's a bit amazing. The powerful vitality that comes with humans turning into bears, plus the defense brought by the giant bear totem, this guy is simply invincible in this low-end battlefield. Ordinary weapons can't break its defense at all!

What's more, it is now obviously buffed with the giant transformation technique, and its strength has been enhanced. If it is allowed to kill ordinary soldiers, I don't know how many casualties will occur before it stops!

He must be stopped!

The only ones who can stop him are... myself, Heidi and Celine!

Now Heidi and Nidalee are setting a trap to catch the earth dragon, and Celine is restraining the earth dragon, so the only one who can save the situation is me!

With such a sense of responsibility, Hawthorne just threw the Storm Hammer. After attracting the attention of the giant bear, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

well.

Since you have noticed me, it means that your death is approaching!

With such confidence, he completed the second round of magic energy explosion, and blasted all four energy beams at the giant bear. Then, he retreated in small steps, trying to delay the specific time of contact with the enemy, while summoning his contracted longsword with his right hand, chanting spells non-stop, and quickly completed his only fourth-ring spell: "Staggering Smite!"

Fear Slash!

Thick magical energy surrounded his sword. In Hawthorne's eyes, the giant bear was no different from a dead bear.

Barbarians who believe in the Giant Bear Totem have strong resistance to almost all damage, which is reflected in the game data, that is, all damage they receive is halved.

Except for one, that is mental damage.

And it just so happens that the spell of Fear Slash is a spell that strikes directly at the soul of a person. It aims to inflict great fear on the enemy by cutting open his soul and causing great mental damage!

Absolute nemesis!
