As the light of the contract dissipated, the demon wolf attacked again.
Although they are depraved and corrupted, and are not creatures with extraordinary characteristics, their powerful physical strength and madness are deadly enough. In the encounter just now, two digits of human beings were defeated steadily after being pierced by the charge of five demon wolves.
The physical fitness of both parties is completely different!
Griffith reached into his small bag, grabbed the bottle of potential potion that was still the reward of the sewer battle, and drank it in one gulp.
The power is coming! Griffith secretly realized that one of the two frost spells he already had could be upgraded by one level with this potential potion.
Strengthen the frozen nova/ice structure, I want it now!
Somewhere in the dark, Griffith realized that one of his spells had been strengthened. The frozen nova had a wider freezing range and more severe frostbite, while the ice structure could last longer and complete more shaping. .
The mysterious and icy spell affected elements in the air that could not be observed with the naked eye. The magic wolves that rushed toward humans suddenly found that they were hit by the freezing air and could not move for an instant.
"Extreme Freeze - Nova!"
The ice froze the demon wolves that came one after another, making it difficult for these monsters to move. Although they could still swing their claws to sweep around, they couldn't break free for a while.
However, the freezing effect did not last long. Griffith grabbed a bottle of secondary deceleration potion made of mountain monster snot and threw it at the magic wolf at the rear. The vial shattered on the icy ground, and the demon wolf that fell at the back immediately fell into a negative state where its speed was halved.
Compared to human bodies, demon wolves are too strong, and their cooperation must be broken up first.
Griffith thrust his sword towards the throat of the demon wolf at the front. The refined long sword broke through the thick fur of the demon wolf, and the huge shock almost made him lose his sword.
The blade was stuck in the strong flesh and could not move forward. For such a creature with strong defense, it was still necessary to use an armor-piercing spear. At this time, the attacked demon wolf had been released from the frozen state, howling and roaring, and claws as big as a shovel clawed at Griffith's head.
Griffith sent a thought to his bone ring, mobilizing the frost runes that had already been condensed on the ring.
Three cold ice spears formed in the air one after another. The cold temperature strengthened the effect of this spell. Griffith got three ice spikes that were no less than armor-piercing spears. He grabbed one of his wrists, flipped it, and threw it with all his strength at the roaring demon wolf.
Let you see the three-volume spear-throwing technique of the Eagle Flag Soldiers!
There was a tooth-itching sound of tearing through the air in the corrupted forest, and the demonic wolf that rushed like a strong wind was unable to dodge and crashed into it.
"Pfft!"
The silver ice spike penetrated directly into the open mouth of the demon wolf, and penetrated from the back of its neck along with a piece of blood. The demon wolf's whole body was suffocated, and before his body could even feel the pain, it was already projected into a stagnant state.
Griffith then threw his second ice gun at very close range. This blow penetrated the thick skin and went straight into the chest, but it hit the bone with a dull sound, knocking the demon wolf to the ground, but the ice gun also shattered.
The third throwing spear had already taken shape. Griffith stretched out his hand to hold it, but turned around quickly, turning a blind eye to the demon wolf that was just in front of him and had just been injured.
He was targeting the Demonic Wolf in the middle. This powerful mutated creature had broken free from its restraints, flashed past Griffith's attack, and pounced on Sonia behind it.
Griffith's blazing gaze immediately locked onto it, and a piece of black horn hanging around his neck began to shine with a light blue luster. A roaring phantom of a mountain monster appeared behind him, almost merging with his body.
This is an extraordinary item that uses the horns of swamp bulls as a carrier and incorporates the power of mountain monsters. When Griffith linked his mental power to it, surging anger and power poured into his body and he screamed violently, and the next attack would cause double damage.
The demon wolf was also shocked, unable to understand how the human in front of him could burst out with such a terrifying momentum. Just when it wanted to evade and dodge, it found that its strong limbs fell into a state of stagnation and slowness.
The terrifying momentum of the mountain monster will leave weak creatures with no place to hide, and Griffith's next attack will have special effects that are sure to hit.
"Use your body to remember this blow, corrupted monster!"
Griffith threw it with all his strength, and the astonishing wind pressure swept away the flying snow in the sky. The spiral trail threw the explosion far away, piercing the right side of the demon wolf's face and exiting through the left side. The demon wolf's ferocious head was torn and twisted by this blow, and its entire body flew out, sprinkling more than ten meters of minced flesh and black blood on the gray snow.
After this throw, Griffith immediately felt as if his whole body had been drained and exhausted, but an even more turbulent murderous intention had already enveloped him.
The third demon wolf, which was frozen and slowed down, had broken free and appeared behind Griffith. The apprentice knight subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his legs were like lead and his breath was like bellows, making it almost impossible to move.
My body is so stiff. Is it due to excessive physical exertion? I have to take this hard! Griffith crossed his hands in front of him and turned sideways to receive the inevitable blow.
Suddenly, a tall figure rushed in front of him, blocking him and the demon wolf.
The demon wolf jumped up and rushed towards the humans on the ground. Sonia's wand rotated rapidly, forming an ice spike that shot out and aimed at the wolf's head. In mid-air with nowhere to rely on, it was almost impossible for the demon wolf to dodge this attack.
However, this huge creature shrank quickly, curled its limbs into a ball, and spun half a circle in the air like a black fur ball, avoiding the curse's attack axis.
"Poof!" The ice spike penetrated the demon wolf's shoulder blade and opened a bloody hole, but it did not cause fatal damage.
Sonia also used up the spell, and she couldn't cast it again during the 15-second cooldown.
"Ice armor!" Griffith hurriedly dropped ice armor on Sonia for defense. But the once transparent ice wall blocked the demon wolf first.
A brooch inlaid with green gems on Sonia's coat was flashing rapidly, maintaining the existence of the ice wall. It was obviously solidifying the magic spell that was activated at a high speed, and could withstand an attack at a critical moment.
The demon wolf's sharp claws hit the ice wall, making a frightening sound of bone cracking, but the wall quickly collapsed.
Sonia took out the small bag from her waist, threw it towards the corrupted creature in front of her, and pointed at the small bag with her flashing wand.
"Bang!"
The packet exploded into a cloud of pink smoke, with crystal fragments flying everywhere. Griffith keenly smelled a mixed aroma in the air.
Sonia threw out her makeup bag, then used the wand's inherent special effects to ignite it, detonating it directly in front of the demon wolf's nose. The flying fragments, powders and mixed reagents of different perfumes and cleansing oils frightened the demon wolf, and he immediately jumped back.
When a spellcaster is on spell casting cooldown, enchanted items, scrolls, and potions are the fillers for the vacuum period. Simply relying on his own magic is not enough.
After Sonia suffered a big loss against Goblins for the first time, she also gained a new understanding of her own abilities and items, and had already thought of using accessories or even small objects to fill the gap in the spell cooling.
…
On the silent snow, the ice spearhead began to melt immediately after penetrating the demon wolf, dripping down mixed with blood. Griffith applied a sword to the eye socket of the demon wolf that had been punched through the cheek, and waved away the blood as if nothing had happened.
Two against three, kill one. I managed to survive the first round.
The remaining two demon wolves seemed to be frightened. Although they decayed and mutated, they also knew that the humans just now had obviously performed magic, and the humans wrapped in metal should not have such abilities.
Since the attack, five wolves have been killed and injured, and the stalemate should not continue. Although mutant creatures are crazy, they are not stupid. Griffith calculated the frost runes on the Minos bone ring, the remaining weapons, and the status of the enemy. The runes just consumed are being re-condensed and replenished, but the situation is still critical.
However, the demon wolf had no intention of retreating. They distanced themselves from each other and approached in an enveloping manner.
Will the demon wolf not retreat? Is it necessary to hunt us to obtain extraordinary characteristics? Griffith gritted his teeth, knowing that there was no chance of luck.
"Griffith, can I have some more?" Sonia leaned precariously on Griffith's back.
"Of course." Griffith simply responded. At the moment of physical contact, he felt that his remaining mental power was being withdrawn.
At the same time, he felt dizzy, and the side effects of the loss of mental power had already appeared.
It turns out that as long as they are close and have a clear intention, they can replenish each other. It is a convenient and efficient way of collaboration. No wonder it’s a contract that requires divine witness! At this rate, you can drain the opponent dry.
We can't let Galadia know this... Griffith also thought in a daze.
Sonia noticed his strange behavior and stopped hastily: "I may not be able to activate the spell, but there is still a solidified defensive spell on the necklace that can be used, and that's it."
"Okay, I understand," Griffith clenched his sword and shouted to the demon wolf, "What's wrong? Why don't you come up? Those of your own race who died in battle will cry."
The demon wolf seemed to understand and roared angrily. They leaped with all their strength on their hind legs and pounced like projectiles from a trebuchet.
A light green stream of light suddenly flashed through the air, locking the arms and legs of the demon wolf at the front before it pounced on Griffith's face. The flow of light continued unabated and flew towards the demonic wolf behind.
At the same time, Griffith was surprised to find a black thorn growing on the damp soil and snow, spreading rapidly along the path of the streamer. When the light dissipated, the two demon wolves were firmly locked together by the thick thorns.
Griffith didn't expect such a situation to happen, so he swung his sword to kill it in a hurry. The sharp sword hit the sturdy fur and slid away, causing almost no damage.
The demonic wolf roared angrily and struggled frantically to escape from the cage of thorns. Its claws, which were strong enough to shred iron armor, grabbed the trainee knight's shoulder and immediately tore off a mass of broken iron rings.
Griffith slashed at the demon wolf smoothly, and the sword was blocked by the tough fur again, leaving only a shallow blood mark.
"So soft and weak, I'm not very satisfied~" The elf with long black hair came quietly like the wind in the forest. If it weren't for her teasing words, Griffith wouldn't even be able to notice her arrival.
She has put on the equipment of a ranger, wearing a mithril single-winged laurel wreath on her head, and the intricate gems and crystals on her shining breastplate, gauntlets and greaves are shining brightly. The elf turned his hand and took out a golden bow that looked like a phoenix spreading its wings from behind, and opened the bowstring towards the demon wolf.
The moment the arrow was attached to the bowstring, it turned into a dazzling silver light, trailing a long trail and a vortex of air, piercing through the demon wolf's throat and exploding a mass of flesh and blood on its back neck. The silver light remained unabated and struck directly at the brain of the other tied demon wolf, exploding it into a shower of blood.
Griffith was dizzy by the sudden bright light in the darkness. When the light dissipated, the headless corpses of two powerful demonic wolves were already lying on the ground. Galadia stood proudly in the chaotic blood mist holding a strong bow, her long hair flying in the strong wind, deadly and elegant.
"Garadia, why are you here?"
"Fortunately, I'm here, otherwise would you still have a way to survive?" The previous injuries could no longer be seen on the elf's face. She took out the potion and handed it to Sonia, and said seriously, "Don't look at how many times I have suffered losses. , as long as I have the equipment, I am actually very powerful, but I haven’t shown it before!”
"I am convinced of this!" Griffith immediately expressed his position.
Sonia stood aside, rubbing her forehead and waiting for the two to finish speaking before asking: "Garadia, where are the others? Have the professors' support arrived?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed in the distant forest, followed by an earth-shattering loud noise and violent earth shaking. Countless strange and unheard screams came and went.
"Professor Lordes has arrived to join the others, but he also encountered a very strange monster attack. People with high inspiration are prone to this. Other reinforcements came in a hurry in order to make time," the elf stretched out his hand. Pointing, "Follow me, and then I'll talk about the battle just now."
…
"So, it's still unclear what that brownie is planning," Galadia, who listened to Griffith's brief explanation, whispered while moving dexterously in the dark forest, "a battle. The smell of blood can attract monsters from a hundred miles away. A face-to-face battle between a mere goblin and a well-equipped Shutoral, or a fight with monsters in the forest is no different from suicide in nature. Brownie No. 2887 should be very aware of this.
“Maybe bringing us in is what it’s about.
"The longer you stay in the Whispering Forest, the more sanity you lose unconsciously. It may not be noticeable at first, but gradually you will feel dizzy and hear strange sounds. These are signs of being contaminated by the madness in the forest;
"As the pollution intensifies, you will start to laugh wildly and unconsciously, and you can't control it, or even realize it. You will also feel inexplicably excited and depressed, and you will say things you wouldn't normally say.
"After being severely contaminated by the distortion here, many monsters that were originally invisible will take shape and attack you, until you end up in madness and death."
