Chapter 1556: Chapter 948: Hundred-legged Demon (Part 2)
Fortunately, he timely activated the combat skill [Iron Wall Shield Defense] attached to the brass shield; otherwise, he might not have been able to withstand it.
Luluwo at this time shot out straightforward luminous stone magic gravel toward the enemy. The luminous stone bloomed one after another of small blood flowers on the enemy’s body. Seizing the moment when the Hundred-legged Demon’s attention was attracted, Mila chose to attack head-on. She rushed forward the instant the monster’s head turned towards Luluwo, swinging her warhammer to smash its head.
The Hundred-legged Demon’s flesh proliferations suddenly went berserk, twisted proliferating flesh like rubber machine guns crashing into Mila from all directions.
"What the hell is that?"
Mila only had time to hold her hammer horizontally in front of her and was immediately hammered by the scorching "fists," unable to break free, until other members of the Skyrim Strategy Group rushed up to pull her away, allowing her to escape the attack range.
This level of attack had already gone beyond the realm of fast and slow blades, and was definitely what adventurers most hated - "mad dogs."
Asam led the magicians in the team to launch a salvo at the Hundred-legged Demon, various attribute magic attacks fell on it, immediately exploding into light effects of different colors.
They were doing this to test what kind of attack was most effective and to test the Hundred-legged Demon’s resistance to different attributes.
In the Skyrim Strategy Group’s campaigns against monsters, the most important thing was to gather intelligence.
"Pure magic attack works best, thunder attribute magic next, flames are completely ineffective, chaos flame even makes it more excited." Ais immediately conveyed the information to Luluwo.
"Got it, everyone proceed with our ’pure magic combat plan three’ for the offensive!"
In an instant, those responsible for melee like Tami took out their magic shields, contracted the battle lines, and gathered together switching from attackers to shield bearers, standing in front of the Hundred-legged Demon to draw its attention.
At the rear, the magicians under Luluwo’s guidance chose the most suitable magic combat strategy - initiating the attack with Fran Short Arrow, which has the fastest release speed, then following it up with the slightly slower Luminous Stone Comet, and finally Luluwo unleashed a spin-flying magic gravel charged with magic power.
The Fran Short Arrow exploded the Hundred-legged Demon’s tiny limbs, the combination of force from the Luminous Stone Comet and Fran Short Arrow caused the monster’s forward momentum to pause for an exquisite moment, the spinning flying magic gravel then broke into the enemy’s front, grinding the Hundred-legged Demon’s skin with rotating magic gravel, the second shot of spinning flying magic gravel then pulverized its flesh, forcing a linear trajectory into and out of its body leaving a large bleeding hole!
This was one of many tactics specially prepared by the Skyrim Strategy Group for large-bodied beast enemies, and the more exploration team members there were, the greater the power.
This move was effective, such an attack was a heavy blow to it, and to people’s delight, it did not have the rapid regeneration ability common in flesh growth type monsters, which undoubtedly reduced the difficulty of the campaign.
But this attack also incited the Hundred-legged Demon’s ferocity, the enraged it was undaunted by other magic impacts, bearing the damage and charging toward people, the Skyrim Strategy Group was prepared and spread out to avoid the attacks, the essence of this strategy was to hit and then change position.
At this moment, the Hundred-legged Demon suddenly roared wildly, the lava beneath it summoned started rising, submerging large areas of open ground so that the once ample battlefield became instantly cramped and narrow.
Each time the Hundred-legged Demon swung its body, the lava splattered everywhere, landing on the ground immediately burning it black, the rocky platform beneath everyone’s feet was already covered with streams of lava, those flowing from the demon itself, now with each step it took, more magma would squeeze out of the cracks on its body, gathering on the ground to form scarlet streams, continuously pressing on everyone’s space.
Can’t fight here, every inch of ground here is tainted with magma, every dodge must first confirm the landing spot is free of lava.
Fighting in such an environment reduced their mobility by at least half while the Hundred-legged Demon was completely unaffected.
Flying Skill? It couldn’t be executed in such a cramped space.
"We must change places," Luluwo whispered, her gaze quickly scanning the battlefield.
The left side was relatively clean, the terrain there was higher, with lava unable to reach it, but the problem was the space there was even smaller probably only accommodating three or four people standing, there was no way their whole group could fit.
Places like this which appeared suitable but small were numerous, but all were very scattered, the Hundred-legged Demon aimed to disperse and defeat everyone one by one!
Where they were temporarily safe, but the retreat had been blocked, continuing to battle the Hundred-legged Demon only needed to push forward a few more steps, and they’d have no space to dodge.
No suitable place.
This area shrouded in white mist didn’t have a single open space they could comfortably fight on.
"Sain really leaves no room for survival," Luluwo cursed quietly then yelled loudly, "Everyone spread out, switch strategies!"
The group instantly dispersed moving towards different open spaces, but this process inevitably encountered the Hundred-legged Demon’s attacks and the burning of lava, everyone cautiously dove using Flying Skill, but the moment they flew, the lava eruption became more frequent and precise, making it impossible to guard against.
Finally, someone was hit by the Hundred-legged Demon’s attack and fell instantly, and once falling into lava who fell had no chance to get up!
Unlike Temude who inherited dragon powers, the Skyrim Strategy Group members were completely ordinary in terms of their lineage, and the magma temperature there because of the Hundred-legged Demon was even higher than in Izaris!
The Hundred-legged Demon’s body was proliferating flesh in all directions, it could attack violently towards at least three directions at once, causing the dispersed people’s defense to fall behind, appearing quite distressed.
Dodging lava was still too limiting to everyone’s strength, if only there was someone unafraid of lava to take action it would be great; Tami had already started missing the dragon Fudolin who once joined their team.
Just at this moment.
"Praise the Sun, hahahaha!"
Luluwo’s triumphant laugh suddenly came, everyone immediately looked in her direction, showing a "we’re saved" kind of smile.
All saw Luluwo seizing the moment when the Hundred-legged Demon’s attention was attracted, rushed to trigger that radiantly golden summoning symbol in front of it.
And in the golden light appeared that reliable figure, unmistakably the Sun Warrior Solar!
"Awesome, it’s Solar, we’re saved!"
"But if we summon help, the rewards we get will be less."
"Doesn’t matter, defeating monsters at first sight is more enticing than the reward!"
Solar appeared in front of everyone in the Praise the Sun stance.
"So reliable Solar, each time I see you feels steady."
Luluwo spoke to him.
The Hundred-legged Demon lashed out at them with whip-like tails, Solar raised his shield to steadily block, then grabbed his straight sword rushing towards, getting around the scorching lava casually, seemingly protected by an unseen force reducing magma damage significantly.
This stance seemed like a war god in everyone’s eyes!
Tami and the others burst into cheers, like fans seeing their idol.
But on the other side, Luluwo suddenly frowned, feeling a sense of discord.
"Why didn’t he speak to me?"
Every time Solar was summoned, no matter how dangerous the situation, he would emit his characteristic laugh and then say motivational words to everyone.
But this time, Solar’s silence made Luluwo feel something was wrong, her gaze nailed on him, and then...
Why did it seem that Solar’s movements were filled with....
"Indescribable fatigue?"
