Elden Clergyman

The polluted witch raised her neck and swung the wings behind her like claws, smashing towards Lord.

But just as he was about to strike, Lord jumped back as expected, causing the wings to fall to the ground, and the weapon in his hand turned into a katana.

Then, Iai——

boom!

Because it had been tested before and found that although these meat monsters had blood in their bodies, they did not eat blood, Lord simply took out Yueyin.

After a fight, the hurt Contaminated Witch tried to retreat, and then saw Lord take out his staff, followed by several Darkmoon Demon Gravels.

After it hit her, a burst of freezing mist rose up, triggering the freezing effect. Her health dropped to half, and then—

"Roar--"

With a ferocious roar, the Night Witch's body exploded in an instant, and countless dark brown flesh pulps gushed out, supporting a body several times larger than Lord's.

She still maintained her human form, but looked more like a monster. Her hands had turned into giant claws, and the wings behind her grew larger and larger.

boom--

Smashing with both claws.

Because the range of the explosion was larger than expected, even though Lord had rolled out, he still suffered the aftermath.

Then, looking at the more than half of the blood that had been lost, Lord's mouth twitched.

No, buddy, your number is wrong, right?

When I was fighting the monsters just now, the damage was normal, and the first phase seemed fine, but now...

bang bang bang-

There was another round of frantic grabbing, and finally he clenched his fists, raised them above his head, and then smashed them down with a loud bang.

boom!

However, although he had never seen this skill before, Lord managed to dodge it because of his previous experience.

After dodging, when he was drinking blood to replenish his previous losses, a prompt suddenly sounded.

[Assistant 'Silver Tear' Ashmi has been summoned]

So it turns out to be a boss with a special helper?

Lord's eyes lit up, and then he glanced around and saw the figure slowly rising from the ground.

That's a girl.

In other words, she was a girl modeled after the silver slime-like mollusk Lord had seen before.

Her hair was white, her dress was white, the flowers on her head were white, and even her bare feet were white.

As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of the giant monster, and then it turned around and struck with a claw.

Bang——

The Ashimi who just came out has become Ashimi sauce.

But the next second, she quickly regrouped, then bent down, holding her head with her hands, and like those silver teardrops seen on the road in Lord, something like a needle grew out of her back and stabbed the monster in front of her.

-24 Neighbor

Looking at the words floating on the health bar, Lord was silent.

No wonder he's dressed in white. He's paying tribute to the legendary double-digit Miss Darkmoon Sword, right?

However, although the damage was very low, Lord also discovered that this kid was really tough.

The slap from the monster just now would have taken away at least half his life, but when it hit Ashmi, only a little blood was lost.

That's still somewhat useful.

Thinking of this, Lord waved his staff, and after a few shots of Darkmoon Demon Gravel, the monster changed direction again, jumped high, and smashed towards Lord.

But just as Lord was observing the monster's movements and thinking about the opportunity to dodge.

Ashmi on the side suddenly lunged forward, and his entire body melted into the original silver teardrop in mid-air. Then, when he fell in front of Lord, he stood up high and turned into a large silver shield blocking Lord.

boom--

The monster fell, but all its attacks and impacts were blocked by the large silver shield.

"Although I'm not good at fighting, I can cover you."

The silver shield transformed into a girl again, and her voice sounded a little weak.

With Ashmi's help in defense, Lord's pressure was greatly reduced.

No matter whether it was waving claws or bombarding, it could not advance an inch in front of the big silver shield.

Even if there were occasional missed attacks, Lord could easily dodge them with his experience.

And with such cooperation, Yueying was sheathed and Iai was performed again.

The blue magic light wave cut through the monster's body vertically from top to bottom, taking away the last bit of her blood.

Then, with a loud thud, the monster fell to the ground.

But just like the zombie monsters she encountered before, her body did not dissipate. The dark brown flesh mud on her body kept surging, as if she was being reborn.

But just as Lord was looking at the monster in front of him, wondering whether to change his account, the girl in white walked up.

She stretched out her hand and touched the monster's heart with her fingertips. Then, accompanied by a silver-gray glow, starting from the area where her fingers touched, the flesh paste on the monster's body began to gradually transform into silver droplets.

Of course, it wasn't completely transformed.

The transformation process lasted about 10 seconds, and only a piece of flesh on the monster's heart was transformed into a fist-sized droplet, which flowed into the girl's palm and merged with her.

And at the original place, although the entire body was not completely transformed, the remaining remnants of the monster all turned into gray, stone-like objects and lost all vitality.

After the girl took out the droplet, it dissipated little by little with the breeze.

[Obtain the weapon 'Filthy Claw']

Filthy Claws

[Giant claws born from filth]

【Derived from human body mutation】

[When the attack hits, it can slightly restore health]

[The so-called filth is to give the immortality of the soul to the body]

Even if the soul dissipates, the body can still move.

[And will instinctively desire life]

A pair of boxing gloves without any combat skills, with poor panel and bonus, and not much blood recovery. After confirming that they were toys, Lord put them back into the inventory, and then walked to the girl who turned into a teardrop not far away.

"Oh, sorry, I was just daydreaming and forgot to thank you."

The silver-white girl looked at Lord and said sincerely.

"My name is Ashmi. As you just saw, I am a ball of silver tears."

"But unlike the other tears, I don't know why I gained consciousness. When I passed by here, I felt that the witch had something I needed."

"But because I was too weak, I was hesitant until you helped me get it."

As she spoke, the silver-white girl showed off what she had obtained.

After a brief period of charging, weapons grew out of her back again, but they were not the needles from before, but claws that were more similar to the ones the monster had just displayed, and then she slapped the ground.

boom--

The power and size are quite different, but according to Lord's judgment, the damage of this thing should be in the triple digits.

It's still pathetic, but it's a huge improvement.

"So where are you going next?"

Lord asked her.

The latter thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I have no idea."

"I just regained consciousness and don't know what to do..."

"Then you should come with me first."

Lord glanced at the place where the monster disappeared and thought that this clue couldn't be more obvious.

"I'll kill monsters for you, and you eat their hearts to prevent them from resurrecting. How about we both get what we want?"

After a moment's hesitation, the girl nodded slightly and spoke hesitantly.

"......it is good."

Chapter 85: I am the approaching storm

After a brief exchange and inviting Ashmi to join his team, Lord began exploring the map again.

As for why we brought Ashmi along, the reason was actually quite simple.

Seeing this child absorb the power of the monster's core, we can tell that even if this child is not a necessary prop for exploring this map, he is at least an important branch.

How could Lord let her go?

Then, after Ashmi joined the team and activated the blessing dropped by the boss, the two began to move forward along the stone bridge.

After walking for a while, I found a place where I could go down. After jumping down, I arrived at a place that looked like a forest.

And just like before, a battle is now breaking out in the forest that should have been peaceful and harmonious.

The silver tears relied on their artificial bodies that were not infected by filth to resist the invasion of the zombie-like monsters at close range on the ground.

Behind them, the Knox swordsmen and witches commanded these artificial creatures while using the extendable Knox fluid weapons in their hands to attack at medium range.

And further back on the high ground, a tall woman wearing deer antlers was singing.

The burly man with ox horn decorations next to him was holding a longbow in his hand, and together with some blue lightning balls floating in the sky, he provided long-range fire support to the Knox people and Silver Tears who were resisting below.

The configuration is very powerful, to the extent that even the average player would feel their scalp tingling at the sight of it.

But even such a line of defense is losing ground.

To be honest, those zombies are not very agile and strong. Even some elite individuals among them will be targeted by long-range firepower.

But the problem is, there are just too many of them.

And because of their large numbers, even if they are beaten to pieces, they don't need to regenerate. They can just stick the broken pieces of flesh on others.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lord wanted to sit down and wait until they were done fighting before going over, just like he did when he watched the three-way fight before.

But just as he sat down and was about to take the shrimp from the inventory, he suddenly saw the badge that Dolores had given him before, and then raised his eyebrows.

Wait, this...

After clicking to use it, a blue badge with a deer antler icon appeared on his chest, and a strange icon appeared in the status bar.

What the hell is this?

Lord fiddled with it curiously for a while, but did not find any bonus to himself. Instead, after looking up, he found that the health bars on the heads of the Ancestral People and the Knox people had disappeared.

Moreover, it seemed that they had lost their hatred towards him.

After observing for a moment, Lord stood up and moved closer cautiously.

Then he discovered that, just as he had expected, the people on the side of the Ancestral Spirits no longer had any hatred towards him, and even the friendly damage was turned off.

Even if he took the initiative to stand in the path of the arrows of the ancestral spirits, the arrows would only pass through his body and would not cause him any harm.

Is this... a faction battle?

After confirming that the Ancestral Spirits were now friendly units, Lord glanced at the battlefield on one side, then took out Yueyin and joined in.

Then......

Iai, Iai, and fucking Iai!
