Chapter 85 The Altar on the Rooftop
There were more than thirty fortress soldiers, armed with spears and shields, ready for battle.
Xia Tong already had a strategy for dealing with this dense formation.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The fanged imp threw several magic pots over.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The magic pot exploded in the crowd, and the blue magical waves knocked over a group of soldiers, causing wave after wave of chaos.
Then, the soul jellyfish Kurala turned blood red.
The pungent venom sprayed out, raining down on the heads of the Grik soldiers.
In comparison, skin corrosion is an even more excruciating pain that penetrates to the very marrow!
In an instant, they were completely thrown into disarray.
Some tried to run to the rooftop, while others fearlessly charged towards Xia Tong at the stairwell.
However, they were all firmly blocked by Ruthel, who wielded a large shield like an iron tower, and could not cross the line.
Next came Xia Tong's procedure of harvesting using magic.
Pyroxene meteors fell like raindrops.
Finally, after the bodies of more than a dozen Grik soldiers lay on the top floor, they fell silent.
The remaining soldiers all retreated to the rooftop.
Then Xia Tong and her group approached step by step.
"Da, da, da!"
The dull thud of iron boots came from the rooftop.
A tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
He was wearing heavy Grik knight armor.
The emblem of honor belonging to the Golden Clan, originally adorned with a double-headed battle axe and a lion, was now covered in dried, blackened scabs of blood, making it look ferocious and terrifying.
What Xia Tong found even stranger was...
His posture was slightly hunched, as if he were enduring some great pain.
But it also seems to be suppressing some kind of abnormal excitement.
Xia Tong felt a lot like Stanfield, the drug-addicted high-ranking agent in the classic movie "Léon: The Professional".
"Giggle...giggle..."
A strange laugh came from his throat, like a broken bellows being pulled.
In his left hand he held a gilded shield with a golden tree design, and in his right hand he held a heavy royal army greatsword.
However, a faint red mist of blood was currently swirling around the blade, emitting a sweet and pungent smell.
Looking at Xia Tong, he didn't waste any words and charged straight at her!
"Knock knock knock knock!"
His footsteps pounded the floor rapidly, and then, like a runaway locomotive, he launched a brutal rampage.
Ruthel went straight to meet her without flinching.
"Thump!!"
The two large shields collided violently.
The corrupt Knight Commander Grek was knocked back a step.
The headless knight Ruthel remained unmoved, as steady as a mountain.
In terms of size and strength alone, Ruthel is a cut above him.
Not to mention that one is the legendary Grand Master of the Knights of the Mausoleum, while the other is just an ordinary Knight Commander Grik, bewitched by blood.
The difference in quality is too great!
Strangely, none of the remaining Grik soldiers stepped forward.
They all gathered in the corner behind the knight commander, leading to the edge of the rooftop, seemingly observing the outcome of the battle.
To be honest, they were never very determined to begin with.
First he obeyed Kenneth Hyde, then he was forced to obey this mad knight commander.
Finally, they were stunned by Xia Tong's terrifying strength in wiping out more than a dozen of their companions in just a few minutes.
These swift and decisive actions made them waver once again, and they dared not act rashly.
Of course, another reason is that the Bone Ash Battle Group behind Xia Tong is watching them closely!
Seeing that the attempt to collide had failed.
The Knight Commander Greck let out a shrill, mournful laugh.
He threw away the gilded shield in his left hand and instead gripped the sword with both hands.
Then he did something crazy.
He pressed the sharp blade hard against his left palm and slashed it forcefully!
"Pfft!"
Blood gushed out, staining the sword red!
Combat Technique - Blood Slash!
With a crackling sound of burning blood, he suddenly unleashed a huge, fan-shaped, blood-red sword aura!
"boom!"
The blood-red sword energy struck Ruthel's Eclipse Shield directly, producing a loud bang.
Ruth was jolted back a step by the force of the sudden burst of power.
But that's about it.
Moreover, Xia Tong felt that Ruth was more like a tactical deflection, and that she had not suffered any real harm.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
At the same time, three meteorites shot out from Xia Tong's staff.
It hit the knight commander right where it hurts!
The three attacks immediately caused him to lose his balance and his movements to stiffen.
Xia Tong is no longer troubled.
He took out the jar of magic oil that he had previously obtained from the demi-human leader.
He quickly swept the blade of the Lion Greatsword in his hand.
"Buzz—"
A soft sound.
A deep blue magical flame suddenly ignited on the thick blade of the Lion Greatsword.
Xia Tong took a quick step and rushed to the knight commander.
He then leaped up and did a 360-degree spin in the air.
The massive sword, imbued with magical power, slashed downwards with tremendous force.
Lion Slash - Magic Enchantment Version!
"Bang!!"
A loud bang.
The knight commander's hastily raised Royal Army greatsword was smashed away, sparks flying everywhere.
The immense force pressed down on him, causing his knees to buckle and him to kneel heavily on the ground, shattering the floor tiles.
Just as the knight commander reacted and tried to roll away, Xia Tong had already landed.
The cold tip of the demi-human queen's staff was suddenly pressed against the front of his neck!
"goodbye."
"Buzz!"
Crystallization scattering!
Dozens of sharp pyroxene fragments erupted at point-blank range.
At such close range, dozens of pyroxene crystals, like shotgun pellets, instantly tore through his neck armor.
It pierced his throat deeply.
"puff!"
A huge bloody hole was blasted out instantly!
The knight commander's head was reduced to a sliver of skin and flesh, with fascia attached to his shoulder, teetering on the verge of collapse.
"The intensity is too low!"
Xia Tong shook her head slightly, somewhat disappointed.
This thing isn't even as good as that Rune Bear from before.
The knight commander's head was blown off.
The remaining soldiers who had switched sides were completely dumbfounded.
They stared blankly at the headless corpse, unsure of what to do, and trembled with fear.
Xia Tong gestured towards them with her lip and pointed her greatsword at the stairwell.
"roll."
The soldiers, as if granted a pardon, abandoned their armor and rushed downstairs.
Xia Tong then continued walking deeper into the rooftop.
The wind was strong on the rooftop at night, making the cloak flutter loudly.
The few scattered torches were not very bright.
Fortunately, the "starlight" magic above Xia Tong's head was still very bright, illuminating everything in front of her quite clearly.
The area above the entire rooftop is several hundred square meters.
The most striking feature is a strange stone pillar in one of the corners.
Bound atop the stone pillar was a gigantic body several times larger than that of an ordinary human.
As Xia Tong walked forward, facing the strong smell of blood, she suddenly felt her stomach churning and she felt a little nauseous.
That was a demi-human queen.
Her body was almost completely shriveled, like a mummy that had been drained of all its moisture.
The blood in his body was completely drained.
Xia Tong looked around at the setup, which resembled a simple cult altar.
Beneath the corpse of the demi-human queen was a huge vessel used to collect blood.
It was filled with a dark red, gelatinous substance that had solidified.
In addition, there were some strange symbols drawn crookedly in blood on the ground.
Among these symbols, the most prominent and central one is the unique trident symbol!
"The Blood Dynasty? Munga? The Mother of Truth?"
Xia Tong looked at everything before her, muttering to herself as she made her own guesses.
"Melina, what do you think?"
