Chapter 7, beheading
At the moment of the fight, Boris knew that he had lost, because the powerful force coming from the ax handle made his whole body numb.
The beastman leader took half a step back under the powerful impact.
The mercenary leader took four or five steps back in succession, using his battle ax to hold himself up from falling to the ground. The tiger's mouth of his palm was shattered, and bright red blood stained his golden beard a little bright red.
"Hmmmm~" Boris reluctantly swallowed the blood from his throat and stood up forcefully. He wanted to fight again. The anxious mercenaries quickly surrounded his captain.
"Humans... are shameless, let's... kill them together!" The beastman leader pointed at the mercenary leader who was protected by several mercenaries. Boris's face was abnormally red, and he motioned to the other mercenaries to get out of the way. I can still fight myself!
The mercenary leader lowered his right shoulder, tilted the ax at an angle, and gathered all the strength in his arm, and rushed towards the beastman leader again.
"Whirlwind!"
The core combat skill of the berserker, the mercenary leader spun quickly and fought against the beastman leader again. Faced with such a powerful combat skill, the beastman leader had to temporarily avoid the edge, retreat continuously, and parry first.
On the surface, it seemed that the mercenary leader had the upper hand, but in fact Boris was getting more and more anxious. Whirlwind was very draining of his energy, and he couldn't last long like this.
On the other side, the mercenaries suffered heavy losses, and their front line began to retreat continuously. The mercenaries who had submerged themselves into the beastman group were quickly dismembered and then eaten up. The smell of blood continued to arouse the beastman war gang. With their fierceness, several horned beasts penetrated the mercenary line and were rushing towards the side where the sorceress was.
The sorceress's expression was ugly, and she said to the mercenary protecting her: "Cover me."
"Ms. Trovik, you..." Among the people protecting her, a handsome young mercenary asked one more question. He was wearing a piece of finely crafted leather armor and holding a two-handed sword. The sorceress' eyes were filled with concern.
"...I want to use the sixth-level spell Blizzard, which requires a long preparation for casting!" The sorceress looked cold and didn't want to explain more, but she immediately realized that the morale of this mercenary group was showing signs of collapse. I had to add one sentence.
"They can't cover you because they can't support you at the end of casting. For six-ring magic, you need to chant for at least five minutes. Teresa, do you think they can support it for five minutes?" A young voice said from There was a sound behind everyone, and everyone was shocked. They didn't even know when someone touched them from behind?
"Mr. Ryan!" The imperial businessman shouted in surprise. The visitor was wearing full-body chain armor, holding a golden warhammer in both hands, and carrying a one-handed sword on his back. He was not wearing a helmet, and his black hair was covered with snowflakes. There seemed to be a slight smile in his colorful pupils.
The sorceress breathed a deep sigh of relief when she saw the appearance of the kingdom knights: "You are finally here, cover me, and I will kill them!"
"Just you?" Ryan raised his right hand, and only then did everyone realize that he was holding the head of a horned beast in his hand: "How cunning are the beastmen? They don't know how to outflank your retreat? Now the only way is to kill the beast king. "
Yes, shortly after collecting the old demon hunter's relics, Ryan also felt the power of the Demonic Rock, so he rushed over immediately and killed a horned beast that wanted to sneak attack on the way.
There wasn't much time to talk. The battlefield was in a mess. More than 30% of the mercenary group's casualties were dead and wounded. Broken limbs and corpses were everywhere. The beastmen also suffered heavy losses. Almost all the inferior horned beasts that entered the battlefield at the beginning were dead. A few horned beasts also died, but their number was much greater than that of the mercenary group, and reinforcements were constantly coming.
In the cold winter, the source of food is always difficult for humans and beastmen.
"I'm here, give me the spell!" Ryan raised the war hammer and gave the sorceress a reassuring look. The sorceress was a little reluctant and just nodded: "Understood."
An ice armor was added to Ryan's body. After using several spells in succession, the sorceress's face turned slightly pale. In just ten minutes, she released four spells in a row. Taking a deep breath, the female sorceress turned pale. The warlock began to chant the six-ring magic, Blizzard.
On the battlefield, Boris could no longer hold on. His physical strength reached the critical point, and the whirlwind attack slowed down. The cunning beastman leader immediately realized that this human being had reached his limit, and immediately switched from defense to offense. Boris had to He retracted his battle ax to resist, and the terrifying force came from the beastman's axe. The mercenary leader flew backwards and fell in the middle of the snow, unable to get up for a while.
Ryan noticed the defeat of the mercenary captain. He was already prepared. The light blue energy gathered in his hands. He stretched out his left hand and stroked his war hammer. The golden fine iron hammer head suddenly appeared. It appeared a color like a red-hot iron and exuded a scalding temperature. The snowflakes fell on the hammer head and were quickly vaporized.
This is Ryan's unique ability. Among the knowledge that the mysterious man brought to him is the way to use the psychic energy of the human brain. This allows Ryan to directly use psychic energy to cast spells without going through the magic network, although he does not have the talent to release spells. , but he can make his weapons deal various elemental damage within a certain period of time.
The beastman leader soon discovered Ryan, and he shouted: "Human! Destroy! Execute!"
"It's you beasts who are going to die today!" Ryan rushed out from behind the snow hill, jumped high, and hit a low-horned beast on the head with his war hammer.
"Boom!" The inferior horned beast's head exploded instantly, and red and white splashed all over the floor. Immediately afterwards, Ryan swept the warhammer away. The inferior horned beast next to him subconsciously picked up his shield and blocked it. The result was that the beast and the beast were both involved. The shield flew out together, flying more than ten meters before landing on the ground. The shield in its hand and the breastplate on its chest were deeply dented, its body was torn apart, and it was impossible to survive.
The two inferior horned beasts roared and rushed towards him. Ryan seemed to be able to smell the fishy stench in their mouths. The two inferior horned beasts used inferior spears to stab Ryan's shoulders, but Ryan did not put them down at all. In front of his eyes, the warhammer in his hand hit one of the inferior horned beasts directly.
"Hiss~" The red-hot hammer pressed on the beastman's head, and the smell of iron barbecue came out. In the scream, the beastman's head became bloody and bloody, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground. .
Immediately afterwards, Ryan dodged sideways to avoid the thrust of the spear. The knight of the kingdom directly reached out and broke off the tip of the spear, grabbed the tip of the spear and inserted it into the center of the beastman's head, and then kicked it away.
In one round, four inferior horned beasts died in Ryan's hands.
"So strong, really strong. Is this Mr. Lane?" The imperial businessman's face was full of surprise and excitement. The mercenaries guarding the sorceress beside him all nodded in agreement. Only the handsome mercenary who used a two-handed sword from before Bing muttered: "What's so great about it."
"Roar!" The horned beasts discovered the threat of Ryan. They abandoned the mercenaries who were fighting and rushed towards Ryan together. Ryan was not afraid at all. He held the warhammer in both hands and first swung past the chop of a horned beast. Then he jumped directly on its axe, hammered the horned beast's head open with one hammer, and then used the headless body of the dead horned beast to block the attacks of other horned beasts, and took away the life of another horned beast. .
The knight of the kingdom rushed into the battle group of beastmen like a tiger rushing into a herd of sheep. In just three minutes, five horned beasts and a dozen inferior horned beasts died in his hands.
"Thunder strike!" Ryan raised his war hammer and slammed it to the ground. The huge air wave swept through the beastman war gang, which seemed to have the power to break gold and rubble. The beastmen around him were shocked and dizzy. Without fear, Ryan suddenly stretched out his right hand and handed the warhammer to his left hand. The strong white light converged into a spiritual blade that grew out of the wrist of his right hand, exuding a soft white light in the air. Light.
Along his body, Ryan waved his psychic blade and spun around in circles.
The beastmen surrounding him stood still.
No, not completely still either.
The beastmen's bodies seemed to be moving.
Translate along a perfectly straight line.
All the beastmen beside Ryan were cut in half. The painful howls and struggles of the beastmen resounded throughout the battlefield. Ryan's chain armor was already covered with the blood of these beasts. The fishy smell could not let him down. The kingdom knight stopped, he continued to rush towards the remaining beastmen, and started a massacre against them.
The battlefield situation was reversed, the morale of the beastmen war gang was low, and even the strong horned beasts retreated one after another. The fighting power shown by Ryan made these beasts fearful.
"Roar oh oh oh!!!" The beastman leader immediately realized that the situation was not good. It gave up on Boris, who was already rolling on the ground and struggling under its attack, and rushed towards Ryan: "Human... knight ……die!"
"You are the one who is going to die!" Ryan clenched the sword in his hand and pointed at the beastman leader. At the same time, he thought that time was almost up.
"Everyone, step back, the spell is coming!" said the mercenary leader who fell to the ground.
"Blizzard!" As expected, as Ryan expected, when he retreated alone, the sorceress had already completed the six-ring magic - the chanting of blizzard.
Hundreds of ice cones condensed in the sky, forming sharp prism shapes. Under the control of the sorceress, they shot towards the beastman war gang. The power of the six-ring magic was not what the previous two-ring ice arrows could. In comparison, hundreds of ice picks directly penetrated the bodies of most beastmen, causing them to howl miserably, and the blood on their bodies was frozen by powerful magical power. Even some inferior horned beasts and chaos war dogs directly His head and limbs were chopped off with an ice pick.
"Woooooooo!" The beastman leader knelt down on one knee, barely withstanding the attack of the blizzard. Countless bloody cuts were made on his arms and calves. His body kept retreating, leaving scratches on the snow. A straight line.
After about a minute, the power of magic finally faded away. Almost all the beastmen died before they had time to avoid it, and the beastman leader was also frozen in the ice.
After using the six-ring magic, the sorceress's face turned white and her body almost fell to the ground.
"Ms. Trovik!" The young mercenary standing next to her subconsciously wanted to reach out to help, but the sorceress directly opened his hand with her staff: "Don't help me! Mr. Banda! I'm not that kind." Fragile!"
"Uh...yes." The young mercenary named Banda retracted his hand in embarrassment.
The sorceress used her staff to stand on the ground. She raised her head. The original battlefield was shrouded in a blizzard, and the white mist and smoke made it difficult for everyone to see the form. However, the mercenaries knew that Trovik no longer had the ability to release this weapon. A level of magic.
There were only less than thirty mercenaries left out of the original forty or fifty people. Except for the mercenaries responsible for protecting Trovik, almost all of them were injured. They all looked nervously at the battlefield shrouded in white mist and smoke. .
"It's over! Mr. Lane is still in the battlefield!" Oliver covered his face and shouted desperately.
More desperate things are yet to come.
"Ahhhh! Humans... I want you... all to die!" A sound of breaking ice came from the battlefield. After the smoke disappeared, the scarred beastman leader shattered the ice on his upper body. The body was covered with injuries, most of which had been frozen. The lower body was still frozen to death, and there were even many ice picks inserted into its body. However, these could not kill the beastman, because the legs were still frozen. In this situation, it raised its ax again, calling for more beastmen to join the battlefield.
Deep in the distant forest, more beastmen emerged.
"Kill... humans!" The beastman leader struggled hard, and the ice blocks sealing his legs had cracks.
Ruined!
"Ms. Trovik, what should I do?" a mercenary asked.
"He's still here." There was no panic in the sorceress's eyes, and everyone in the mercenary group was stunned.
he?
"Drink!!!" Behind the beastman leader, Ryan's roar came out. The kingdom knight jumped up high and stepped on the head of a frozen inferior horned beast with his hard leather boots. His head was directly crushed by Ryan, and the knight's hard leather boots kicked hard, using the force to jump up again, towards the beastman leader.
The beastman leader reacted immediately and subconsciously turned around to block it, but his frozen lower body made his movements slow. Before he could lift the axe, the head of the war hammer hit its chest, burning it. The red metal hammer smashed all the chest and ribs of the beastman leader to pieces, and even roasted the beastman leader's chest to a blackened patch.
"Ahhhhh!!! Human!!!" Even though he was so seriously injured, the beastman leader did not die. He grabbed the tomahawk in his right hand and slashed directly towards Ryan. The huge tomahawk brought up a gust of wind. Voice.
Ryan's reaction was faster than it. His right hand had already let go of the war hammer. The white psychic blade appeared again and slashed with a sword, cutting off the beastman leader's right hand and forearm together. One piece was thicker than a normal human thigh. His forearm and palm, together with the rough-made axe, fell aside. The beastman leader screamed in agony, covering the wound on his right hand, and large streams of bright red blood continued to spurt out.
Even so, it still didn't die. It was still struggling, trying to break free from the ice blocking its feet and use its left hand to pick up its axe.
"Hmph~!" Ryan spat. He stepped on the beastman leader's chest, reached out and grasped the long horn on the beastman leader's head, and a white light flashed.
The huge leader's head, which was still dripping with blood, was raised high by the knights of the kingdom and showed it to the remaining beastman war gang: "Who else is there?!"
"Wow wow wow wow! Run... run away... humans... are powerful!" The leader was dead, and the beastman war gang dispersed in an instant. They ran for their lives crazily, even using weapons to cut off the same species that hindered their escape, and even rolled away. He crawled and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
"We won! We won!" Oliver happily hugged his bodyguard Fake, and the mercenaries enjoyed the joy of surviving the disaster.
The forest was filled with cheers.
The sorceress finally relaxed a lot. When she turned around, she found Ryan standing behind her covered in blood.
"Long time no see, Teresa."
"Long time no see, Ryan."
I'm late, I just got home today.
