Chapter 172: Used like a waste
Gildarts was just about to remind Harley to withdraw, but before he could speak, a shocking roar sounded in the cave!
The next second, a giant lizard monster with a body length of more than 20 meters and covered with fine golden scales quickly rushed out of the cave like a golden lightning!
"It's a golden-scaled lizard! Run!"
The opponent was so fast that Gildas had no time to rescue him and could only sound a warning.
Harley, who was closest to the cave, did not expect this scene to occur at all. His face instantly turned pale and he was extremely frightened. It seemed that he was imprisoned by the strong aura of the golden-scaled lizard. Harley was frozen in place, unable to move a finger.
"Ah!!!" I heard an extremely miserable cry!
Harley was like an upright hot stick. The golden-scaled lizard bit him instantly, breaking his spine with one bite. Then, with a big mouthful of blood, he raised his head and swallowed Harley whole with a "gudong" sound. In the belly! ——Just
when Gildas encountered the golden-scaled lizard, his son Donato was also busy, fighting fiercely with Richard.
I saw Donato flying back quickly, and quickly took out a curved pure white bone staff from his arms with his right hand. The next second, he held a short bone staff and waved it forward, and a huge light quickly lit up on the ground. In the green reverse pentagram array, three humanoid creatures suddenly appeared in the witch array.
I saw these three humanoid creatures. They were stooped and ugly in appearance, like rotting corpses. However, their limbs were strong and powerful, and they had a pair of extremely sharp claws.
Three pairs of blood-red eyes were staring at Richard, making people shudder!
"Ghoul!" Richard couldn't help but be a little surprised. This was the first time he encountered this extremely famous undead monster.
Although it was his first time to fight this ghoul, as he was also a member of the undead, Richard knew the ghoul quite well. The ghoul's claws contained corpse poison and moved extremely quickly. , mainly physical attacks such as a pair of sharp claws or mouth bites, and very few will have an innate witchcraft.
but
The three ghouls in front of me seem a bit special. The length of the sharp claws in their hands is much longer than the ordinary ghouls depicted in the "Illustrated Book of Undead Creatures".
The sharp claws of these three ghouls are at least thirty centimeters long!
A flash of light flashed in Richard's mind. Could it be that this is a mutated form of ordinary ghouls - a clawed ghoul?
Regarding the clawed ghoul, Richard tried hard to recall that the clawed ghoul was almost exactly the same as an ordinary ghoul, except for one thing - super physical attack power!
"Ha! This is interesting. My hatred is mainly based on physical attacks, and so are the other party's ghouls. Is this a point-to-point attack?" Richard thought to himself.
Sure enough, as the fat Abomination strode forward, the attention of the three clawed ghouls quickly shifted from Richard to the attacking behemoth.
The three sharp-clawed ghouls showed no signs of weakness at this time, and charged fiercely at the huge abomination.
"Bang!" Abomination directly used a giant iron ax to chop away a sharp-clawed ghoul.
Although this clawed ghoul blocked it in time with a pair of claws, the majestic power of hatred was definitely not something that its small body could stop. The claws on one of its hands were broken at the roots. But thanks to this block, he saved his life from the hateful blow.
But the other two clawed ghouls, at the moment their companion was knocked away, quickly approached the fat abomination and scratched its body several times.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In just a second or two, there were several long gashes several inches deep on Hatred's fat body. If it were a normal person, his internal organs would probably be taken out at this moment. .
Fortunately, Richard's abomination was particularly fat, but at this time, white fat mixed with yellow pus was scratched out of its fat belly.
Obviously, these wounds deeply stung Abomination and made it extremely angry!
"Roar!"
The huge chain ball swept across the area, and the two clawed ghouls were instantly knocked away several meters. However, the ghouls were also rough-skinned and fleshy undead creatures. Although they were damaged, they were not fatal.
At this time, the clawed ghoul that had just been knocked away by the giant ax also rushed forward, waving its broken claws.
Suddenly, the two sides were fighting together, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. It was hard to tell the difference, and it felt like they were evenly matched in a short period of time.
"Sure enough, I have a hand, no wonder Joachim will die in your hands, but the game should be over here!" Donato saw that his clawed ghoul couldn't do anything to Richard, his expression changed, and he shouted ferociously Said: "The power of blood amber!"
I saw Donato quickly took out a jade-like object with a coquettish bloody light from his arms with his left hand, and followed a short spell.
The next second, three streams of blood-red liquid came from Donato. The blood in Tuo's left hand surged out and shot quickly at the three clawed ghouls.
Suddenly, the three clawed ghouls were surrounded by blood. Their original height of 1.9 meters soared to more than 2.2 meters. The claws they swung became faster and more powerful, and their attack speed was at least 30% faster!
Now, the three sharp-clawed ghouls were beating back the abominations, roaring again and again!
"Admit defeat, Richard! As long as you are willing to surrender and tell the truth about your relationship with this spider woman, I can guarantee your life." Seeing that he had a chance to win, Donato showed a smile on his lips and began to persuade him to surrender. Richard is here.
Richard raised his eyebrows and ignored Donato's question. Instead, he also took out a piece of blood amber from his arms and used the power of blood amber faster than Donato!
As a stream of blood-red liquid as thick as a baby's fist was poured into Abomination's body, Abomination's size suddenly increased sharply, and its attack speed increased greatly. Every slash seemed to be as powerful as breaking mountains and cracking rocks.
This time, Richard's hatred suppressed Donato's three clawed ghouls!
"The power of blood amber!" Donato watched in astonishment as Richard used the power of blood amber that was more skillful than him, and he was beyond surprised!
"How do you know this witchcraft? This is one of the unique secrets of our North Ring."
Richard rolled his eyes at Donato angrily and said, "Don't you think you talk a bit too much?"
"And why do you think I will tell you the answer?"
Just as Donetto was choked by Richard's two words and felt embarrassed for a while, Richard turned his head and shouted towards Stephana from a distance: "Stepina , stop playing and resolve the battle quickly!"
"Giggle, obey! Master!" Stephana immediately flew back and quickly cast a witchcraft, only to see a huge green-light inverse pentagram witch formation appear. On the bottom of her feet, the next second, a man-faced demon spider the size of a bull was summoned.
Stephana jumped up and stood gently on the back of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, silently chanting: "Combined!"
Among the stunned expressions of the wizard apprentices, the graceful Stephana was seen standing on the back of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, It began to slowly sink into the body of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, and one person and one spider actually merged together!
When Donetto saw this scene, he was also extremely surprised. For the first time, he felt that this battle was a little out of his control.
The original confidence of victory began to waver a little at this time!
After merging, Stephana's blade arms changed from two to four, and her movement speed increased again. It was so fast that she couldn't even see the figure. She only saw a black shadow flashing past, and it was already more than ten meters away!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
I saw two third-level wizard apprentices holding on to the dark element shield, but they could only support it for a second. In the second second, they were instantly broken by the rapidly swinging sword arms.
When others took a closer look again, they found that the two men were suddenly broken at the waist, and their organs were mixed with blood and flowed all over the floor.
"Ah!!!"
Hiss! The chopping speed of Stephana's blade arm was so fast that neither of them even felt pain when they were cut in half.
But after a second, when the upper body slipped down from the incision on the waist, he realized what he was doing, and he let out a miserable wail!
In fact, this is already the result of Stephana's mercy!
Show mercy?
That's right, this is because Stephana followed Richard's request and took a breath!
Otherwise, this extremely sharp blade arm would not have chopped horizontally, but from top to bottom, and the two wizard apprentices would have been split into two symmetrical halves by Stephana!
The third-level wizard apprentice's vitality is extremely strong. Even if he suffers such a fatal injury, he can still hold on for a few minutes. At this moment, he is wailing on the ground, holding his lower body with both hands, trying to piece himself back together.
This bloody and tragic scene greatly damaged the morale of the remaining four wizard apprentices!
Among them was a female second-level wizard apprentice from the Ring of North who was wearing a hunting suit and had a convex figure. Her originally innocent face was almost distorted with fear at this moment. It seemed that she could not bear the terrifying pressure. Her legs kept shaking and there was a faint feeling. A wet line ran from the crotch to the heel.
A smell came out.
Stephana looked at her with disgust and disappeared in an instant.
When she appeared again, the female apprentice's limbs had been cut off, turned into a human pig, and planted in the same place.
This made the remaining three people no longer able to bear the pressure of being killed one by one. They collapsed and shouted:
"Your Excellency Donato, save us!"
"Save us!"
Donato also frowned at this moment. It's quite tricky. This Richard's strength is just fine, but this spider girl's strength is just a little too strong.
But he had to save him. If Spider Girl successfully killed these three people, she and Richard would form a siege on him.
Extremely disadvantageous!
Therefore, Donetto quickly took out a scroll from his arms and tore it open in the direction of the three wizard apprentices. In an instant, three white bone shields appeared out of thin air on the surface of the three of them.
"Bone shield!"
"Level 1 witchcraft bone shield!"
When the three of them saw this, they couldn't help shouting that the Bone Shield was a first-level witchcraft, and its defense against physical attacks was particularly high.
This made the expressions of the three people relax instantly, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There are so many good things. Richard knew at a glance that Donato had used a group bone shield scroll!
This thing can be said to be difficult to buy even with magic stones.
As expected of a descendant of an official wizard!
However, Richard immediately seized the opportunity of Donato's distraction to cast the scroll and shouted two words to Stephana: "Combined attack!"
Since your official wizard-level protective scroll was used on someone else, I won't kill you. Who to kill!
Stephana immediately turned her cold eyes to Donetto. The next second, the soil exploded, revealing a depression half a meter deep.
Suddenly, Donato's heart was filled with alarm bells, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
Richard continued to perform witchcraft, and in less than half a second, he used Slowness and Weakness on Donato. Because Richard's control over these two zero-level witchcraft had already reached the limit. , the casting time of each witchcraft only takes 0.2 seconds.
All of a sudden, Donato suddenly felt weak and weak, and his movements were extremely slow.
He reacted instantly. Within half a second of taking out the potion, he was hit by the Slowness and Weakness spells in succession.
This shocked him!
This casting speed is too fast!
But this was not over yet. After performing the technique, Richard quickly performed the shadow dance.
I saw that Richard's whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of gray and dark gauze in an instant. He moved as fast as a ghost, extremely swift. He pulled out the Ice Guardian in his right hand, and held the knight who transformed into a mimic wristband in his left hand. The long sword, with a moving speed no less than that of Stephana, rushed towards Donato with two swords in hand! When Richard and Stepina were about to touch Donato, Donato finally took out a scroll from his arms in time and tore it apart with force. A burst of black light flashed, and all around him rose up. A black spherical force field.
Block all their attacks!
But before Donato could take a breath, he discovered that the energy of this black spherical force field was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The originally rich black energy is now gradually fading, turning into gray.
"You... how could you have such a high attack power!" Donato's eyes bulged when he saw it!
"This is a first-level witchcraft scroll - the Skechers Shield!"
No wonder Donato was so surprised. The defensive first-level witchcraft was actually destroyed by two people in just seven or eight seconds. The wizard's apprentice defeated him, and if he told it, no one would believe it!
What Donetto didn't know was that Richard's two swords were continuously performing high-frequency vibrations at this moment. In addition, the four blade arms of Stephana and the Man-Faced Spider were merging with extremely fast slashes, which made the attack he endured almost completely. No less than an official wizard's attack!
No wonder this black spherical force field deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Donato's soul was filled with fear, and he quickly took out a bottle of unknown potion from his arms and drank it wildly.
Suddenly, a rich red light flashed from his body again.
This made Richard frown and thought to himself, the descendants of the wizard family have too many good things!
"Bang!"
Skechers shield broke!
Below is the red shield!
Donetto looked horrified, and while running away, he shouted: "Stop! Richard, this is a misunderstanding!"
Richard ignored him completely, and instead increased the intensity of his chops.
"High-frequency vibration!"
"Cross cut!"
Stephana also cooperated extremely well and swung out the four blade arms at the same time!
"Bang!"
The red shield broke!
"Bah!"
Donetto only felt a chill in his waist. When he lowered his head, he saw a thin line of blood appearing on his abdomen. After a while, he found that he was lying on the ground, but his legs were still standing in place, with the incision at the same place. There was blood pouring out.
In an instant, he realized what had happened, and let out a shocking scream in disbelief!
"Ah!!!"
It turns out that just now, Richard and Stephana's tacitly coordinated attack not only directly broke the red shield, but Richard's cross-cut attack also cut off Donato's waist!
Ignoring Donato's wailing, Richard thought for a moment before swinging his sword again.
"Whoa!"
He cut off Donato's hand tendon cleanly to prevent him from taking out anything else from his arms.
At this moment, the three wizard apprentices, who were protected by the first-level defense against witchcraft - the bone shield, were huddled together, shivering.
Like a nest of quails in the cold winter!
Even with the protection of the bone shield, the three of them felt a chill running straight to their foreheads at this moment!
After more than ten seconds, a battle ended without any suspense!
At the feet of Donato, who only had half of his body left, Richard began to draw up the witchcraft formation for collecting vengeful spirits.
Seeing Richard's meticulous movements, Donato couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and said with difficulty: "What are you doing?"
"Draw a witch formation." Richard said calmly without raising his head.
"What are you going to do with us?" Donato reluctantly raised his head and looked at the graceful Stephana, who was dragging the bodies of several apprentices who were helping him to chase but were killed together, and casually threw them on the ground. beside him.
Looking at the appearance of these people, they are all half-dead and only half-breathing.
"I just want to use the waste, otherwise it would be too wasteful!" Richard said still calmly.
Looking at the miserable and dying faces of the wizard apprentices who were besieging them with him.
Donetto couldn't help but shuddered: "You don't really want to kill us, do you? Richard, I... I tell you, this matter is really a misunderstanding, let's stop here, right?"
"I can swear and sign a contract, you believe me."
Seeing that Richard continued to draw the witchcraft formation unmoved, Donato's face became more and more frightened!
"Richard, it's too late for you to stop now!"
"If you want to kill us, you're dead. Do you know who my father is?" The
stern Donato saw that begging for mercy was in vain, and he immediately became anxious!
"Your father is Gildarts, right?" Richard replied casually to Donato while describing the witch formation accurately.
"How did you know?" Donato's eyes widened.
Only then did he realize that the direction of the whole thing from the beginning was already beyond his expectation.
"I knew it from the beginning, and it was precisely because I knew it that I wanted to avoid you. Otherwise, do you think that with your strength, you are qualified for me to avoid you?" Richard asked rhetorically.
"This"
Donato felt infinite regret in his heart at this time!
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that the other party already knew his true identity.
Moreover, he took Richard's concession as cowardice, pursued him all the way, and even used a low-level witchcraft - war shackles, making it impossible for Richard to avoid him!
I really regret it!
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.
Seeing Richard standing up, Donato knew that this meant that the witch formation had been drawn, and his face turned pale on the spot.
Richard looked deeply at several people again.
The next second, a giant black palm struck down hard.
Just hearing a "crack!" sound, the eight or nine people in the witch formation who were seriously injured and dying suddenly had their muscles and bones broken and turned into meat cakes. They could no longer die.
In an instant, four tracking marks of different colors were imprinted on the bodies of Richard and Stepina.
However, Richard didn't care about this!
He had already anticipated this result when he started.
"It's okay, okay, I controlled my strength pretty well. I almost destroyed the witchcraft formation I just drew."
Richard looked at the witchcraft formation on the ground and found that the lines were still intact, so he softly thought about controlling the collection of resentful spirits. The spell of the witch circle.
The next second, within the witchcraft formation where the resentful spirits were gathered, red light burst out, and seven or eight souls with ferocious faces, extremely unwilling to die, were pulled out from the corpses, and were quickly sucked into a small black double body. In the water bottle.
Richard nodded with satisfaction, the first wave of resentful spirits was collected successfully!
"Master, what should we do with the few fish that have slipped through the net over there?" Stepina on the side said softly.
"Otherwise, we should kill them all. We can still make use of the waste, hahahaha." Stephana glanced at the wizard apprentices who were watching their battle from a distance but did not dare to intervene.
Richard thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Forget it, let's just knock him out!"
Richard thought that he was not a murderous person, so he felt sorry for not obeying Donato's call from the beginning, and they all stepped forward together. Richard felt there was no need to be so ruthless with the wizard apprentices who came to surround him and Stephana.
If he was worried that some of these people would tip off Gildas or leak some information to the three major colleges, Richard felt that at most he could cast a forgetting spell on them.
Although the sequelae of this amnesia technique may be a bit big, it will damage the hippocampus in the medial temporal lobe of the brain, causing a person's wizarding qualifications to decline.
But...it's better than dying!
Who makes them love to watch the excitement?
There is always a price to pay for watching the fun.
In an instant, Stephana, who was executing Richard's order, was like a tornado, quickly sweeping towards the few people watching in the distance!
"No, run!"
"Run!"
"Split up and run!"
Several people's faces turned blank for an instant, panicked, and they began to flee in all directions.
I couldn't help but regret for a while, why did I come to see the fun!
In the end, none of the apprentices could successfully escape from Stephana's clutches. They were knocked unconscious one by one and then brought back.
After Richard cast the Forgetting Technique on each of them, he and Stepina quickly packed up the loot and left the scene.
When they woke up again, they looked around for a while with confused expressions on their faces. They looked at each other for a long time before asking each other:
"Where am I?"
"Yes, why am I here?"
"What happened just now? I remember I was hiding in a cave before!"
After a while, a wizard apprentice exclaimed: "Why has my witchcraft power dropped so much!"
"Me too!!"
"Oh my God!"
