For a second, Griffith seemed to see contempt and contempt on the face of the rotting, twisted and broken ghoul.
Thonos suddenly contracted his limbs, gathered strength, and was ejected like a trebuchet.
Griffith hurriedly raised his vanguard shield to resist. After the tremor of the heavy blow came, the roaring wind sounded in his ears.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the ice shield exploded, but the powerful ghoul was not repelled by the broken ice and shock wave. Its powerful body withstood the impact, and its sharp claws left three deep scratches on the solid shield like lightning. The powerful force directly knocked Griffith's defense wide open. The sharp claws flashing with black light reached towards his waist.
This blow tore through the breastplate's defense. Griffith didn't even have time to feel the pain before he saw the claws digging into his waist.
Thonos' attack is so powerful that it can penetrate plate armor and will definitely cause heavy damage to him.
However, the strong physique of the melee-type Extraordinary allowed Griffith to block the attack and the distortion and flinch caused by pain. He didn't retreat, and his movements didn't change. The flesh and blood locked onto the ghoul's claws before the pain spread.
Tremble under my reckoning!
Griffith slashed away with his sword. The sword edge rolled up the bone-eroding ice and cut a tragic wound on the ghoul's head. The freezing air was biting at it, causing severe frostbite. There were even large pieces of rotten flesh at the wound that were frozen into ice foam and shattered into pieces.
Griffith abandoned his shield, drew the corrupted feather sword from his waist, and launched a lightning-fast counterattack with the power of reckoning. The sharp sword pierced the ghoul's right shoulder and penetrated the bone. The gloomy shadow energy gathered into a jackal-like illusion and bit hard at the wound.
He and the ghoul were severely wounded by each other at the same time, and staggered back together. Red blood and black blood dripped on the black mud that was about to disappear, causing a smoke-like surge.
Both sides grunted, but without any pause or nonsense, the second round of blows came immediately.
Tonus spun rapidly and swung his sharp bone tail like a long whip.
An ice wall suddenly erected in front of Bone Tail, temporarily blocking attacks and sight lines. The moment the ice wall shattered, two Griffiths flashed out to the left and right respectively.
They all held sharp ice guns, one on the left and the other on the right, throwing them at the ghoul with all their strength.
The vigorous and ferocious figure stirred up splashes of mud on the black mud, dodging quickly among the passing ice spears.
However, multiple ice spears condensed around the two would-be knights, firing off second and third rounds of projection like a gust of wind.
Tonos dodged with astonishing agility. In a flash of lightning, he felt his body being penetrated by an ice spear, but the violent power was still rushing. It slammed into a would-be knight with a crazy charge, knocked him back hard, and at the same time pulled out a bone spur from its back and threw it backhand.
"Bang!" The quasi-knight who was hit shattered into earth-like debris on the spot.
At the same time, a small crystal bottle smashed down at its feet, and disgusting brown smoke filled the air, trapping its movements like a big hand that it couldn't break free from.
The ghoul crawled on the ground like a restrained beast. The damage left by the feather sword shrouded in shadow power was like maggots attached to the bone, still deteriorating.
Griffith took a few steps back. He did not attack, but took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it into his mouth as quickly as possible. Blood spurted out from the right side of his waist and abdomen like a fountain, and the severe pain almost knocked him to the ground.
Both sides were panting.
"You can strengthen this puppet. This is a very good tactical choice," the ghoul said in a low voice while lying on the ground, "If you can survive."
Griffith was too painful to speak. He looked pale and nodded with a cold sweat on his face.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you by the way." Tonos gradually broke away from the influence of deceleration. "Physical and mental trauma and weakness will weaken the main will, and the secondary will will take advantage of it. No matter how noble it is, Still mean, light or dark.”
The would-be knight nodded seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light suddenly bloomed in the shadow covered by the dead trees, and a powerful aura hit him.
Thonos swung the bone whip again, and a blast of wind pressure shot out, cutting off a tree trunk and branches.
However, the golden light refracted and instantly avoided the fatal wind pressure.
The ghoul's ferocious eyes could barely keep up with the light, and its open mouth only had time to let out a slight roar.
Amber appeared behind Tonos, light and electricity gathered on her gloves, and punched the ghoul who was caught off guard!
"Bang!" The ghoul's right arm, which had just been severely injured by the corrupted feather sword, exploded and flew out with a piece of flesh, blood and broken bones.
Before Tonos could adjust his posture to counterattack, Amber swept his leg towards its left knee, knocking the ghoul to the ground on the spot.
The skinless, bloody hind limbs spun in mid-air, flying far away with a whirring sound.
"Hey, you are so strong!"
Just after Tonos muttered something, he flew backwards, smashing open tombstones and dead trees like cannonballs, and hit a raised rock hard.
Dry gasps came from its throat, and it slowly fell to the ground like an insect torn from a specimen book.
"Hoho, look what I found, a talking ghoul! My promotion has been confirmed," Amber shook her flying blond hair, "I am your nemesis, Amber Roselet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the trainee huntress in front of Tonos disappeared. When she reappeared, she had already punched the ghoul's head like lightning and thunder.
"Boom!"
Griffith saw that the ghoul who was about to fight back was knocked back several steps by the punch, staggering like a drunkard on the street, obviously in a state of dizziness.
Before the ghoul could get out of its bad state, Amber had already possessed it and rushed in front of it. She dodged the sweep of the bone tail with extremely agile and dexterous movements, and punched the ghoul's jaw.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Griffith felt his heart tremble. The fangs in Tonus's mouth spurted out like snow flakes mixed with green juice.
Thonos is an experienced hunter, and coupled with its strong vitality, it can still react despite being hit hard. Although it was already suffering from the multiple negative effects of dizziness, sluggishness, and continuous lightning damage, it still covered its head with both hands and jumped back quickly to dodge.
It’s useless, the outcome is already decided. Griffith sighed slightly.
Amber has overwhelming advantages in movement speed, attack speed, and acceleration from zero to combat status. Her attacks combine armor-breaking physical damage with magical special effects that are difficult to defend against. Just being hit is a thrilling wound.
When the ghoul appeared in the air, Amber had already sprinted under it, leaping upward with sudden force on her feet.
Although Tonos's bone whip was still sweeping around, it couldn't stop Amber from appearing behind it. The blonde girl swung a lightning-quick elbow towards the back of the ghoul's head, sending it spinning in mid-air.
Taking advantage of the previous attack, Amber clamped the ghoul's waist with two slender and straight legs, grabbed the back of its neck with both hands and rolled rapidly in the air.
Tonos felt like the world was spinning, and before it could figure out its direction, it was thrown towards the ground. The moment she threw the ghoul away, Amber twisted her amazingly elastic waist, flipped around at an astonishing speed amidst the roar of the storm, and swept her legs from top to bottom towards the ghoul that had just escaped.
"boom!"
The powerful ghoul leader was accelerated by the vibration the moment it was thrown out, whizzing towards the ground like a meteorite.
Wherever it went, trees and rocks were shattered as if ravaged by a flash flood. Tonos plowed a long trench half a meter deep and ten meters long on the ground, and finally it was embedded in half a boulder and could not move.
Throwing skills·return to heaven!
Griffith had seen her perform this combat technique when communicating with Amber in private, but this was the first time he had seen it in actual combat. Once the enemy attacked by this skill falls into the rhythm of her combos, there is almost no room for resistance or evasion, and they can only rely on their physical strength to resist. During the stormy combo process, every move she makes will be blessed by the storm, and every hit will be accompanied by horrific lightning damage.
If Griffith was hit by this move. Well, there is no need for this move. Amber's jabs and uppercuts with stun, slowdown, and paralysis effects are enough to beat Griffith to the point where he is unable to fight back. This is the result of suppressing different extraordinary characteristics.
To deal with an opponent like Amber who is proficient in physical arts, control skills, and extremely agile but has no magic resistance, only an extraordinary person like Galadia with strong battlefield awareness can detect the enemy first and then use continuous attacks. Control skills first restrict Amber's movements, and then use long-range attacks to continuously suppress her; or Sonia can directly use large-scale splash shots to consume her.
Melee-type Extraordinaries will definitely be in an extremely dangerous situation when facing Amber's attack.
The ghoul that had been severely injured by Amber's combo attack had become embedded in the soil. Its neck, wrist and waist joints were broken one after another, and the broken bones directly penetrated the tough body and stuck out of the body. There was still lightning lingering around its horrifying wound section, which obviously caused continuous damage.
"Haha——" Amber fell back to the ground deftly, retracted her posture and adjusted her breathing.
The series of attacks just now consumed her greatly. After the battle, she needed to adjust her body as soon as possible to avoid damage.
She glanced at Griffith's blood-soaked right side of the abdomen, and was startled by the horrific wound. After taking a closer look, she relaxed slightly, and then threw a bottle of potion over: "Drink quickly! Stop the bleeding first, I'll To deal with it.”
Griffith pressed the wound and shook his head at the blonde girl, and tried to open his mouth and said: "It's just bleeding more. Wait a minute, I have something to say to this ghoul."
Tonos struggled, trying to stand up.
Amber glanced at it warily, nodded and took two steps back.
"Mr. Tonos, I think you still maintain human characteristics and thoughts, and can also communicate," Griffith retracted his weapon and said calmly, "One last chance, my conditions remain unchanged, you can also make requests. .
"Join me and fight under my banner, or be completely destroyed."
The ghoul looked at him silently and remained silent for a few seconds. Just when Griffith was wondering whether it had been beaten to death, the ghoul suddenly asked: "Is it a woman?"
This question stunned both Griffith and Amber for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Thonos laughed slightly and said in a hoarse voice:
"Hehehe, I understand.
"Young man, I know what you are thinking and what you want to get or understand through me. It is not surprising to have such thoughts when you meet undead creatures that can communicate. I will tell you.
"Death is the end of life. There is no second life, it doesn't exist. The being resurrected by you may have a human appearance and memory, but death has completely changed her. Your illusions will eventually be shattered.
"You will pay a heavy price for your attempt. I don't know the exact price, I am just a ghoul. But I can say with certainty that when that day comes, you will feel an indescribable feeling. of pain, regret and despair.
"This is some life experience that I, as an elder, need to tell you."
Amber looked at the solemn-looking Griffith, then cast a sharp gaze on Tonus: "Ghoul, cherish your last chance. You are less than a minute away from being killed."
"Hahaha, I'm a ghoul!" Thonos replied with a wanton laugh, "I'm an undead creature that feeds on corpses and fear. Why do you think I would join you?
"Stop dreaming. From the moment I became an undead creature, I was the enemy of mankind. There is no possibility of coexistence between us.
“The meaning of my existence is to tear you apart, devour you, and use your despair and fear to please the undead emperor.
"Why, don't you understand? Then let me make it clearer. Everything that humans cherish, including warmth, love, and memories, are of no value to me. I am not afraid of death at all. From the moment I transform into an undead creature From that moment on, my existence defined my consciousness.
"Come on, blonde, you haven't finished me off yet."
The ghoul climbed up with nearly broken limbs and rushed towards Amber.
…
The completely destroyed ghoul quickly withered, and even its bones and spine began to weather into ash-like powder.
A black crystal slowly precipitated from its spine, rippling with a pure luster like the night.
This is the extraordinary characteristic of the Undead Path Sequence 7 "Glutton".
Extraordinaries on the path of the undead have extraordinary vitality, and their self-healing ability is amazing, but like the vampires, they need to consume a lot of blood food as a supplement. Their physical defense far exceeds the limits of human beings, and their skin is tougher, far exceeding the defensive effect of leather or mail armor.
High-level undead may even grow steel-like scales or bone armor, or wrap themselves in extremely thick carrion to form an indestructible defense. Their existence may even change, giving rise to rare mutant abilities or possessing spellcaster-like abilities.
