Chapter 391: The Three Ravens, Annihilated
Chapter 391: The Three Ravens, Annihilated
Magpie strikes again, swiftly slaying the Swamp Toad and Two-Headed Wolf with her blades.
Though the Swamp Toad vanishes, Ying's face has already turned a deep purple. He collapses to the ground, coughing violently, desperately trying to absorb the poison from his neck with his hair.
Ying's current state is pitiful; his guitar is almost bitten in half, and four deep gashes on his shoulder are gushing blood.
The area on his abdomen, struck by the Treant, throbs with pain, and he wonders if his internal organs have been damaged.
Meanwhile, a group of Mini Stone Beetles persistently gnaw at the joints of his legs, showing no mercy.
This death metal singer seems to be on the brink of death.
The one-armed Golem, sent back by Rod, is replaced by another, and it's crucial to keep these buffed monsters from taking too much damage.
The Treant that just attacked successfully spawns vines to hinder Magpie and Ying's movements, and its main body also joins the attack, raising its claws to strike Ying.
Magpie's blade flashes, severing the Treant's left front claw at the root, as its defense is not as sturdy as the Golem's.
Based on her experience from slaying numerous monsters, Magpie subconsciously believes this Treant will disappear soon.
However, to her surprise, the monster's wound begins to regenerate, with vines growing from the injury, as if it's about to regrow its severed limb.
Moreover, before the broken leg fully regrows, the Treant stumbles and continues its attack.
"Regenerative type?"
Magpie charges forward again, lifting her blade to strike, aiming to split open the large red bulb on the Treant's back.
That thing is too conspicuous, looking like a 'core'.
However, this time, her blade swings in vain.
The Treant suddenly disappears, and Rod appears from behind it, punching towards Magpie's face.
This fist, besides having the tough scales of a dragon, is also enhanced by Rod with a thick rock 'gauntlet', resembling a heavy hammer swinging towards Magpie.
Magpie, of course, is not so easily hit. Despite her seemingly outdated technique, she swiftly adjusts her blade, slashing towards Rod's fist.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing fills the air as their figures cross paths. The rock on Rod's fist splits in two, and even the dragon scales are sliced open, leaving a bloodline on the back of his hand.
"Fairy Strategist, your strength surpasses the rumors, but..."
"Ahhhh!!!"
Before Magpie can finish her sentence, she hears Ying's agonizing scream. She turns to look at him in shock.
Ying's face is already distorted under Mira's fist, which is enveloped in red flames. Several teeth fly out of his mouth, stained with blood.
His body flies farther than his teeth, and two Mini Stone Beetles stubbornly cling to his leg, creating a somewhat comical sight.
Concentrating their superior forces, focusing their superior numbers on the enemy's weak points, swiftly and decisively eliminating them, then moving on to the next target.
This is the key to victory when outnumbered.
Well... In terms of numbers, Rod's side has the advantage.
"Only one raven remains~" Mira casually stands beside Rod, waving her hand to signal the Golem to take care of Ying, who she had just knocked away.
The Golem scratches its head, its blue eyes gazing at Rod.
Rod gestures for it to go.
This kid has potential; he only listens to his master, not his mistress.
The Golem runs towards Ying, leaving a trail of sand pits.
Magpie, the pink-haired beauty who entered the scene with composure, finally wears a solemn expression: "Since joining the guild, I've never been defeated. Today, I've gained some new insights."
"If you reveal your client's identity now, we can call a truce."
As expected of an enemy, Rod is prepared to break his word even before speaking.
"I have nothing to say." As it happened, Banqiao didn't believe him either, and she sidestepped, gripping the hilt of her sword in a ready stance.
Rod's back and wings ached slightly, and he didn't want to engage in a direct confrontation with this move.
"Mountain Dragon's Iron Fortress!"
Rod pressed his hands against the sandy ground, and the earth rumbled as a circular wall several dozen meters high rose up around Banqiao, lifting Rod and Mira to a higher position while trapping Banqiao within a space less than ten meters in diameter.
"Earth Magic? This won't hold me." Banqiao confidently drew her sword, and a flash of white light revealed crumbling stones on the wall, with a horizontal sword mark cutting into the wall for over ten meters.
Then... nothing happened.
Standing at the top of the wall, Rod had already returned to his original form:
"Sorry, this is a super hard and thick version tailored for you. An attack like that, repeated ten times, would almost be enough to cut through it. But..."
"Receive·Magical Lala Bai." Mira transformed into the Three-Eyed Demon Face form.
Having already confirmed the effectiveness of this move against Banqiao, Rod specially constructed the Echo Wall, and it would be a waste not to utilize it.
"I'll ask one last time, who is your client, and why are you here to kill us?"
Banqiao's response was to take a few steps and leap onto the wall, attempting to climb up.
However, her jumping and climbing speed was obviously no match for the sound.
Mira gently opened her mouth and sang with gentle lyrics:
"Sweet flowers bloom~ Soothe the shadows and wounds in my heart~ Amid barren bushes, flowers still bloom~"
Such a soothing and beautiful melody, to Banqiao, was like a demon whispering in her ear, setting off alarm bells in her mind.
But no matter how she tried, the drowsiness still overwhelmed her uncontrollably.
Even for a task as simple as rock climbing for a mage, Banqiao stumbled and fell from the wall due to her dazed state.
Banqiao quickly inserted her samurai sword into the wall, barely halting her fall.
"Damn..."
When faced with hypnotic mind magic, Banqiao's strategy was to quickly advance and strike, using the pain to break through the spell.
But the prerequisite for this was a one-on-one situation with favorable terrain, at least a balanced field.
However, the current terrain was a huge disadvantage for her, not only hindering her advance but also surrounding her with walls that amplified the sound.
What's more, the one casting the hypnotic magic had a troublesome accomplice.
Banqiao watched helplessly as Rod transformed from a handsome guy into an ugly and evil form, resembling a toad man.
Rod's cheeks puffed up, and he spat out purple venom balls, one after another, like cannonballs flying towards Banqiao.
Banqiao could only endure the drowsiness and continuously dodge or reluctantly slash at the venom cannonballs.
Dodging and retreating, Banqiao was forced back to the ground.
But Mira's singing didn't stop, and Rod's venom spitting continued. Banqiao's exhaustion grew, and she finally showed a weakness.
Additionally, two mini stone beetles, having completed their task, emerged from the ground and bit Banqiao when she was unprepared.
Although Banqiao quickly smashed them, the first venom cannonball finally hit its mark.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Banqiao's screams would not elicit any sympathy from Rod, only encouraging him to increase his attack power.
Banqiao, with her powerful swordsmanship, was unable to utilize her ultimate skills.
Three Ravens, annihilated.
