Chapter 106 The Great God's Blessing
The evil warrior swung out the Holy Slash which was filled with evil aura, but its power was not much less than that of the Holy Slash which was surrounded by holy light.
Although the Mercury Zombie has strong magic resistance, it has been hit by the Holy Slash so many times before, and it suffers serious damage every time.
But precisely because it had suffered this many times before, faced with the even more powerful Bloody Holy Slash, the Mercury Spirit Figurine would no longer be foolish enough to choose to resist head-on.
The vague humanoid figure quickly squirmed and deformed, turning into a diamond-shaped shield, allowing the sharp blade of the Bloody Holy Slash to slash diagonally on the shield.
This is a shield made of mithril, which is the metal property inherited from when it devoured the equipment of the Holy Knight.
Mithril can enhance the sharpness of weapons, while adamantium is indestructible and is very suitable for making shields and armor.
The mercury zombie can reproduce the properties of these two metals, and using the mithril shield to block the Holy Slash is the best solution he could think of.
Most of the power of the blood-red blade was dissipated by the shield, but a small amount of blood-red energy still penetrated the shield and entered the body of the mercury spirit.
There was a violent convulsion, and the mercury ghost figurine let out a shrill scream, as if countless steel needles were scraping on glass.
The divine power of Lovita made the Mercury Zombie experience the most terrible pain since its birth. The poor little guy couldn't even maintain his form, and his body began to twitch and deform.
However, the female knight was interrupted by the scream and was unable to strike again in time.
At this time, another mercury spirit figurine had already rushed over. In human form, its hands suddenly became like an octopus, and its silver-white tentacles slapped the warhorse's legs hard.
The mercury spirit figurine was very strong when it was full. It used a group of tentacles to whip out and directly break the front legs of the tall warhorse. The beast let out a cry of pain and staggered to fall.
However, a blood-red light suddenly shone from the female knight's body, covering the warhorse.
The horse's broken leg stood up again, not because the injury had healed, but because it turned the pain into strength.
The bones of the warhorse had pierced its legs, but the horse was still able to stand steadily and entered a violent state. It twisted its body and kicked at the mercury figurine with its hind legs.
The force of this kick left two horseshoe prints on the mercury spirit figurine.
But this also allowed the mercury zombie to completely wrap around it. Amidst the painful screams, the mercury zombie endured the excruciating pain and completely wrapped up the warhorse. If the female knight hadn't seen the situation and jumped off the horse, she would have been wrapped up too.
The huge mass of mercury kept squirming, and the warhorse struggled to escape, but in the end it could only fall down with the sound of a sharp blade piercing its body. The mercury spirit let go of the dead warhorse and ate all of its horse armor and horseshoes.
The remaining warhorse corpses had dozens of penetrating wounds on their bodies, with only a layer of skin left on their necks. It was useless no matter how fearless they were.
Amber Xiu really wanted to applaud this little guy. Seeing that his companion felt severe pain after being exposed to the blood-colored light, the second mercury spirit figurine was prepared, so it was able to endure the pain and complete the attack.
At this time, the mercury spirit figurine that was hit earlier also recovered. The two silver-white balls began to change into various forms, attacking the female knight from both sides.
The strength of this female thorn knight is indeed very good, even stronger than Allen at the beginning, but facing the siege of these two mercury zombies, she is also at a loss and looks very embarrassed.
She had already discovered the strong corrosiveness of mercury spirit figurines to metals, so she didn't dare let the two balls of mercury get close to her, and used vicious spells such as fear aura and plague one after another.
But the Mercury Zombie perfectly demonstrated its magic resistance ability. All these spells were resisted by the Mercury Zombie and had no effect at all.
In this situation, she can only rely on the spiked whip in her hand to protect herself. This weapon is indeed very powerful, with evil energy attached to it, which is very overbearing. As long as it sticks to her, it will make the opponent suffer unbearable pain.
Even though the Mercury Zombie tried its best to endure, every time it was hit, its body would still spasm in pain and fall into a short period of paralysis.
This is the power from the gods, and magic resistance cannot reduce it.
But the spiked whip only served as a threat and could not cause much real damage. Now the two sides were competing in consumption, and whoever couldn't hold on first would lose. It was just that the mercury zombie couldn't hold on any longer and could choose to run away, but the female knight's fate was that the mercury zombie would eat her armor and stab dozens of bloody holes in her body.
At this point in the battle, the female knight was completely at a disadvantage. She had no choice but to loudly order the scattered bloody slaves to gather together and use their lives to consume the strength of the mercury zombies.
These slaves controlled by magic could not tell who was winning or losing, so after hearing the order, they rushed towards the mercury spirit figurine fearlessly and used their bodies to block the mercury spirit figurine's shape changes.
The female knight also took this opportunity to continuously swing her spiked whip, not caring whether it would hit her own people or not. In short, she attacked the two mercury zombies at all costs.
As a result, the balance of battle once again tilted towards the female knight.
Amber Xiu estimated that the final result was that the Mercury Spirit's power was mostly consumed, and it had to choose to break through, and was unable to kill the female knight.
The test is almost over here. The combat effectiveness of the Mercury Zombie has been significantly improved. Now if I meet Alan again, I don't need Amber's help. I can fight this paladin on equal terms.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he cannot wear the advanced equipment of the Ryan Empire, which is a top-level enchanted suit that even Amber Xiu finds troublesome.
Overall, I am quite satisfied. The performance of these two little guys is worthy of the training during this period, and there is still enough room for growth. I can consider equipping them with suitable magic equipment to further enhance their combat effectiveness.
As for the other elemental undead, their combat power is still average, but their IQ has been greatly improved. This also meets Amber's needs. When they were created, they were just to harvest faith and let them help pray for recharge. It's enough to improve their IQ.
"It's almost time to wrap up."
Amberxiu lifted his invisibility effect, waved his hand to summon several teleportation arrays, and a bunch of alien skeletons and a Husky wearing a black cloak appeared beside Amberxiu.
Amber patted Erha's shoulder and said, "It's your turn to play. See if your new equipment works well."
Erha nodded and commanded the alien skeletons to rush into the battlefield. These mantis-like short skeletons began to kill very efficiently under Erha's control.
Knowing that these bloody slaves are not afraid of pain, the skeletons begin to attack the joints, first cutting the hamstrings, then climbing up and tearing the throat and piercing the heart. They can also destroy the eyes first, causing these slaves to fall into a state of indiscriminate attack without distinguishing between friend and foe.
Of course, the alien skeletons were not without damage. If these slaves went crazy, they could destroy quite a few alien skeletons.
Both sides were in a war of attrition, with people dying continuously, but Erha was a lich.
Amber spent a lot of effort to help him transform and strengthen this undead body, and now it has become a qualified helper. Erha raised his hand, and the corpses climbed up again and pounced on their original companions.
When fighting against the undead, the number of enemies will only increase.
After summoning zombies to help in the battle, Erha lifted up his black cloak, revealing a white skeleton underneath, and a peculiarly shaped magic rifle.
This is what Erha found in Amber's collection. It is the original model left over from previous research. Erha, who has played with bows and arrows all his life, touched a gun for the first time and fell in love with this weapon.
There is no need to pull the bowstring to accumulate power, no need to keep it stable when it is tense, and no need to consider the shaking and rotation of the arrow after it is shot. Just raise the gun, aim, and then pull the trigger.
I only knew that the magic cannon was very powerful before, but I didn’t expect that the shrunken magic gun would be so fun.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing that Erha couldn't let go of the magic gun, Amberxiu spent some time to modify it. He strengthened the durability of the barrel and modified the charging of the magic circle, so that Erha could use his own magic power to restore the wind pressure magic circle in the barrel.
This transformation cost Amberxiu a lot of gold coins. In terms of cost-effectiveness alone, Amberxiu didn't think much of this magic rifle, but this thing seemed to stimulate Erha's soul and bring him closer to a real high-level undead.
And now, Erha raised the magic rifle and aimed it at the female knight wearing heavy thorn armor.
When the trigger was pulled, the huge wind pressure shot the bullet out, crossing a distance of more than fifty meters and accurately hitting the female knight's head.
The bone bullet collided with the heavy helmet and exploded into pieces, but it only knocked the opponent's head off balance.
The female knight was originally very afraid of the other skeletons in Erha's appearance, as this appearance did not look like ordinary undead. However, the weak power of this shot made her feel instantly at ease, as it turned out to be just a showpiece.
Unfortunately, this peace of mind did not last long.
The crushed bone powder floated down the ground and multiplied rapidly on its way down, growing into large areas of white bone coral.
These white bone corals formed a huge bone cage, trapping the female knight inside.
The bones seemed fragile and could be broken with just a little force, but before the female knight could break free from the cage, the next bone bullet flew over and thickened the bone cage by another layer.
Erha's shooting skills are very accurate, which may be related to his elven bloodline in his previous life. After transforming into an undead, he still retained this talent. When he used a bow and arrow before, he could accurately knock down the weapons in the hands of the Dusk Guards. Now using the more accurate magic rifle, he has completely become a sharpshooter.
Each bone bullet is not very powerful, but it can just interrupt the opponent's movements and weave a thicker bone cage.
After a magazine of thirty bone bullets was emptied, the female knight was firmly sealed in the bone cage. The narrow space prevented her from even swinging her arms, and she had no room to exert force at all, as if she was under a spell of immobilization.
Turning the gun around, Erha used the magic rifle to shoot the bloody slaves in the heads one by one.
Without the protection of armor, the power of this magic rifle is revealed. As long as it hits the target, it can penetrate deeply into the flesh, and then the bone virus inside will turn into white bone coral and tear the flesh apart.
Erha was shooting happily, but Amberxiu grabbed his magic rifle.
Amber Xiu said angrily: "It's fine if you try it out, but why are you using bone-clotting virus bullets to fight the soldiers? Don't they cost money?"
Although it is nice to have money to spend freely, Amber Xiu is far from being financially free, so he still has to be frugal.
Erha's wasteful behavior was stopped, but the battle was already coming to an end. Almost all the bloody slaves were dead. Two mercury zombies surrounded the bone cage with a vengeance, and seemed to want to get in and kill the female knight.
Amber waved his hand and asked all his subordinates to retreat.
An evil warrior favored by the gods must be very valuable. Even if you don't ask the Skinners for a ransom, they will definitely pay a high price for him if you sell him to the Ryan Empire, because this evil creature is a high-quality "sacrifice" that they cannot refuse.
Amberxiu dismantled the bone cage, captured the female knight, and prepared to dig out some information, such as where the Duke of Flayed's vault was and how many gold coins there were.
However, this woman worships the Goddess of Pain, so ordinary torture is probably a pleasure for her. Mental spells may not be effective on such a person favored by God.
Amber was thinking about how to torture him, but before he could even open his mouth, the female knight took off her helmet, revealing a hideous face covered with scars.
Then she knelt in front of Amber, raised the spiked whip in both hands, and said with great respect: "Praise the pain, great God's favored one, I didn't know that this was your undead subordinate. I was ignorant and offended just now. Please punish me."
Amber: ...
A person favored by God? Could it be that the goddess of wealth was finally moved by him?
