Chapter 191: Defend Alone
At this moment, the battle had reached its climax.
Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the Giant, the enemy had opened up a gap in the defense of the fortress. The surrounding warriors were all scattered, forcing the surrounding warriors to be at a loss as to how to fight.
Seeing that the battle was about to collapse, Robert had already rushed over.
At this moment, Heath rushed forward with the undead army.
This new team was undoubtedly like a cross between a boat and a lamp in a dark room.
Under Heath’s command, the undead army formed a battle formation and quickly opened up a defensive line in front.
He did not try to use the undead army to fill in the gaps in the warrior formation and fight side by side with the warriors. The formation of the fortress army had completely fallen into disarray. If he rushed in like this, it would only backfire and add to the chaos.
Therefore, he directly controlled the undead army to cross the chaotic battlefield and rush to the front, opening up a new line of defense here.
With the establishment of this new line of defense, the charging undead army was directly intercepted here, as if a dam had been erected in the middle of the turbulent river.
Blocking the source of the flood, it was much easier to govern the river, and it was the same here.
After blocking the endless stream of undead behind him, although there were still many undead that rushed up, they were just water without a source. It was only a matter of time before they were cleaned up.
The originally chaotic situation was instantly under control.
Seeing this scene, Robert, who was rus.h.i.+ng over with his men, could not help but have his eyes light up.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, he could obviously see that Heath’s sudden attack was not because he was hot-headed. The undead defense line that was spread out was methodical, and the battle formation was well-coordinated. It was an extremely high level of military literacy, and it was definitely not just because of his hot-blooded recklessness.
After seeing that, Robert did not waste any more words. He led his men and turned to the side. Now, similar situations had appeared in many places on the battlefield. There were still many places waiting for him to put out the fire.
On the other side, on the battlefield.
Ka! Ka! Ka!
Pu! Pu! Pu!
The sound of bones breaking and the sound of sharp blades piercing into flesh rang out continuously. Heath’s crossguard sword danced like a windmill, and the dazzling golden light on the blade of the sword shone continuously.
With this golden light, he moved like a hurricane in this battlefield. Wherever he pa.s.sed, white bones fell and zombies collapsed. He was like a fierce tiger that pounced into a flock of sheep, unstoppable!
Although these corpses had been strengthened because of the Wraiths, their overall combat strength was only between a beginner Knight and an advanced-level Knight.
This level of combat strength was a threat to ordinary warriors, but it was not enough for a single warrior like him, who was a Wizard Grand Knight with double buffs. He was just like a c.o.c.kroach. At most, there were a little more of them.
However, if he had no problems here, the other warriors would not be so relaxed.
A large number of dead souls had rushed up just now. Although the source was blocked by Heath, there were still a large number of dead souls gathered on the battlements.
The defenders on the battlements were a little fl.u.s.tered because of the collapse of the formation. The progress of clearing the undead was unusually slow, and there were even continuous casualties.
In the end, these warriors were basically just Apprentice Knights. There were only a few official knights, and their individual combat ability was very limited.
Relying on the formation and magic, they could burst out with strong combat ability, but it was impossible to fight on their own.
Seeing that the battlefield behind them was once again in a stalemate, and the casualties were even increasing, Heath could not stand it anymore. Anyway, the defensive line here had been built, and it was not of much use for him to stay here, so he simply turned the spearhead. He killed his way back alone.
The moment Heath rushed back, he aimed at the Giant in front of him.
This thing was too fierce. It had endless strength and was huge in size. Every swing of its arms and sweep of its legs could send a group of warriors flying. A fist could create a patty, and no one on the battlefield could stop it.
At this time, the Giant rushed into a crowd of people.
Behind it was a group of warriors who were fighting with the undead. This place happened to be in a t-shaped groove. The area was narrow, and dozens of people and horses on both sides were fighting in this narrow s.p.a.ce.
If this Giant rushed in and threw a barrage of attacks without distinguis.h.i.+ng between friend and foe, one could imagine the consequences.
At the critical moment, a Dwarf with a big beard rushed up and blocked the Giant’s way.
The Giant did not stand on ceremony. It raised its two hammer-like fists and smashed them heavily on the top of the Dwarf’s head. It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him.
The Dwarf quickly raised the double-edged axe in his hand and crossed it into a cross.
Some Giants could awaken their race’s talent [Metal Attribute]. They could change the skin, parts of their limbs, and even the cell structure of the entire body. They could make the cells into metal objects and possess the true strength of steel.
This was the case for the Giant in front of them.
When the fist smashed down, the surface of the two fists immediately glowed with a metallic l.u.s.ter. The entire fist turned into a pair of iron fists and collided with the Dwarf below.
Clang! The sound of metal colliding like a gong rang out.
The Dwarf’s body trembled violently, and his face instantly turned into the color of a pig’s liver. There was even a ‘ka’ sound from the ground, and the floor that had been protected by magic actually shattered.
Seeing that the attack had missed, the Giant swung its fists again and again.
For a moment, only the sound of ‘clang clang clang!’ could be heard continuously. The Giant was like a mole, smas.h.i.+ng its fists at the Dwarf.
Meanwhile, the Dwarf’s legs were already completely embedded in the ground. His body trembled continuously as if he had been struck by lightning, and the blood in his mouth had already spurted out wildly, dyeing the clothes on his chest red.
Finally…
After a series of punches, the Dwarf could no longer hold on. The two double-edged axes in his hands fell to the ground with a clang.
At the same time, the Giant once again raised its fist high and smashed it down at the Dwarf.
One could imagine the consequences of this. .h.i.t. The Dwarf wanted to escape, but his legs were completely embedded in the ground, unable to move. He could only watch as the fist came cras.h.i.+ng down, his eyes filled with despair.
Just as being smashed into a meat pie was inevitable, the s.p.a.ce in front of the Dwarf suddenly twisted, and a blurry black shadow quietly appeared in front of him.
Following that, a silver-white cloth that looked like liquid metal appeared in front of the two of them, blocking the Giant’s fist.
Dong! There was a m.u.f.fled sound.
It was as if the Giant had smashed its fist into the water. A strange power appeared on the liquid metal. Under the effect of this power, the Giant’s invincible fist was completely absorbed.
The liquid metal only stirred up a layer of ripples on the surface, and then it didn’t move at all.
Not only that, after the Giant’s fist was drained of the huge power, the liquid metal also moved forward to wrap around the Giant’s fist and nailed it in the air.
It was as if there was an unknown and terrifying force holding it, and the Giant could not pull its arm back no matter what.
The Dwarf, who had been waiting for death in despair, was stunned.
He widened his bell-like eyes and said with his mouth wide open, “My G.o.d, what kind of spell is this!”
“Of course it’s…”
“A Wizard’s spell!”
A soft voice came from the front.
The blurry black shadow in front suddenly became clear, and the surface of its body became more colorful. In an instant, it turned into a young man.
After controlling the Giant with the combination of the Mimicry s.h.i.+eld and the Static Stance, Heath immediately jumped onto the Giant’s shoulder.
Standing on the Giant that was as tall as a building, Heath was like a baby.
He raised the crossguard sword in his hand and slashed it across the Giant’s neck.
The Giant instinctively sensed the danger and quickly activated its race talent [Metal Attribute] to instantly metalize its neck.
To be fair, this race talent of the Giant was very powerful.
This was a type of metallization that was much closer than ordinary metal molecules and atoms. Once it was metalized, the physical attacks of ordinary Apprentices and Knights were basically useless against it. Even an official-rank Wizard would have a headache for a while.
It was a pity that it met Heath.
He was a powerful Wizard who grasped many spells and had rich battle experience.
More importantly, he had already comprehended some of the elemental laws!
The instant he sensed the metallization of the Giant’s neck, a dense black gas that looked like liquid gushed out from the tip of Heath’s sword. This was a darkness-type spell, [Dark Corrosion].
This was a spell that was constructed using acid as its blueprint. It had extremely strong corrosive properties, especially when it was used against metal-type substances. It could destroy the structure of the elements and destroy them from the inside.
According to the rule that the elements complemented and countered each other, when the black gas appeared, it immediately invaded the metalized neck of the Giant and destroyed the structure.
Under the effect of this force, the Giant’s metalized neck was crumbling at a visible speed.
The ordinary cross sword in Heath’s hand seemed to have turned into a divine weapon that could cut through iron like mud. With a ‘pu’ sound, it cut straight into the Giant’s neck.
He then held the hilt of the sword and pulled it across the Giant’s neck.
Ka!
The Giant’s large head rolled to one side and fell heavily to the ground.
The Giant’s large body suddenly stiffened.
If it was an ordinary undead creature, it would have died from this attack. However, Wraiths were different. Wraiths with level 3 undead characteristics would corrode every cell and every element of the corpse.
Because of this, after a short pause, the Giant’s huge headless corpse began to move again. It swung its empty hand at Heath.
The Dwarf’s expression changed drastically when he saw this. He quickly shouted, “Be careful!”
Seeing that Heath was about to be hit by the fist, what was surprising was that the Giant’s fist missed.
Heath, who was supposed to be standing on his shoulder, suddenly disappeared.
Patter, patter, patter!
While the Dwarf was still in shock, he heard the sound of wings flapping.
A group of crows suddenly flew up from the Giant’s shoulder, where Heath was standing. They flapped their wings and flew up into the air
It seemed to be the [Shapes.h.i.+fting Spell] commonly used by Wizards.
The crows flapped their wings and flew up into the sky. Black feathers fell down as they flew.
These feathers landed on the Giant’s body. As soon as the two came into contact, the feathers exploded into b.a.l.l.s of flames, which quickly wrapped around the Giant’s huge body and began to burn. A large number of flames flowed into the body through the gap in the neck.
Heath’s innate spell, [Indestructible].
The arrival of the Indestructible spell also marked the end of the battle.
As the name suggested, once it was entangled by the flames, it would continue to burn like gangrene until every inch of its body and every cell was burned. It was truly indestructible!
Under the attack of the high temperature from the inside and outside, the Giant’s huge body quickly shrank and burned until it fell heavily with a bang. The huge body completely fell into a pile of powder.
The Wraith that was originally attached to the body naturally disintegrated after it lost its physical body.
Flap, flap, flap! The sound of wings flapping could be heard.
A crow slowly descended from the high sky. Its body twisted and deformed in the air. When it landed on the ground, it also turned into a human figure.
Clack!
It was the sound of boots landing on the ground.
