Chapter 432: Eclipse
The hellish scene before my eyes was completely incomprehensible.
How did things turn out like this? Where did these monsters come from? Why was Guts roaring?
The strange and depressing atmosphere flooded into his mind almost instantly, and the dark group of monsters turned to look at Sally and Elsa, with cruel emotions flashing in their eyes.
Sally's panic reached its peak at this moment. If it were in Horror Park, he would probably be rated as having his soul taken away.
Each of these monsters looked different. Some could barely be compared to similar-looking animals, but most of them were completely indescribable. Just like Chang Chang, the only thing they had in common was that they were all filled with an extremely dark and evil aura.
The evil spirit of these monsters is completely different from the feeling given by demons. Although demons are powerful, cruel, and tyrannical and can destroy everything, they are also living creatures, and some of them will show their gentle side when facing their own people.
These monsters that exist here make people feel that they are entities condensed from the evil of mankind, and they are disgusting just by looking at them!
It's simply filled with demonic energy.
Sally drew his sword, but he looked at the monster that seemed to have no end in sight, and then looked at the rapier in his hand.
Sometimes it's just that simple that a sense of security is lost.
"bass--"
He heard the loud sound of swords being drawn, and suddenly he felt a strong wind coming from beside him. Turning around, he saw that it was Elsa who drew her swords. The wind pressure from the two huge swords being drawn was enough to frighten him.
Was Elsa so strong before? Sally fell into a brief stagnation. Elsa's underdeveloped and petite body holding both the giant sword and the sword skeleton seemed a little inconsistent, but it was this inconsistency that brought Sally a familiar sense of security!
Sometimes the feeling of security goes away quickly and comes back just as quickly.
"Hide behind me."
Erza said simply, preparing for the first charge from the monsters.
However, things did not seem as simple as she imagined.
The monsters stared at them but did not attack them immediately. Instead, they shifted their gaze elsewhere. As their huge or small bodies swayed, they revealed something familiar to the two men.
It's the Eagle Group, the Eagle Group surrounded by monsters!
They were all familiar people that Elsa and the others had seen in the images. They knew that these were people with whom Guts had formed a deep friendship. Although the content of the images before the Eclipse was not as exciting as before, the two still had some good feelings for these characters with distinct personalities.
However, why does it feel like the number of Eagle Group members here has been greatly reduced compared to before?
Along with the enchanting red light, a strange-looking shape suddenly appeared in the sky, shooting out countless tiny red "meteors", hitting every member of the Eagle Group at a speed that ordinary people could not react to, leaving marks on his skin?
Only the sacrificed victims will be branded!
The monsters were more excited than ever before. The appearance of the brand seemed to be an order allowing them to act. They laughed wildly and pounced on the Eagle Group.
What followed was a feast of flesh and blood. The monsters slaughtered the Eagle Group with cruel methods that ordinary people could not imagine. It was absolutely not suitable for children. The sky was filled with people's screams and monsters' hideous grins, adding a bit of blood to the already scarlet world.
With neither Griffith nor Guts around, the remaining Hawks had no power to fight back against the monsters.
"Elsa, let's go save them!" Sally said immediately, "Maybe by protecting the Eagle Group, we can conquer this painting world!"
I originally thought that this painting world could be a place to relax, but I didn’t expect it to be so weird.
"Um."
Before she could say the words, Elsa had already moved.
When a big man with an honest face was fighting a desperate battle with the monsters that surrounded him, a sword skeleton fell from the sky, and a monster that looked like a super-enlarged version of a slug was split into two, and a huge amount of blood and an unknown liquid burst out!
Elsa descended from the sky, swinging the giant sword to kill the surrounding monsters while grabbing the Sword Skeleton Greatsword with her other hand. Relying on the inertia of her body, she effortlessly threw the Sword Skeleton Greatsword out again, crushing a straight path of flesh and blood among the group of monsters.
She grabbed the dazed big guy and threw him to where the Eagle Group was, telling him not to fight alone, while Sally had already rushed over there.
His combat efficiency is far from as high as Elsa's, but dealing with two or three monsters at the same time is not a problem, and he also has a talent that Elsa does not have - command.
He loudly commanded the Eagle Group to gather together to resist the monster. There is strength in numbers. As long as everyone can work together,
His command had just begun to show results, but the hastily formed defense circle was immediately blocked by more monsters and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Eagle Group has too few people, too many monsters, and their strength almost crushes all mercenaries. No matter how hard they try to unite, it will be useless.
At this moment, Sally could only protect a few people besides himself, and he seemed so precarious in front of the flood-like monster.
The number of the Eagle Group is still decreasing, and at this critical moment, the flames are ignited!
Flames suddenly ignited on Elsa's giant sword. She dragged the giant sword in a circle around the Eagle Group at a speed so fast that her figure could not be seen. The flames rising into the sky immediately formed a protective shield.
Sally was shocked and thought, when did you learn this trick! ?
The moment she drew the wall of fire, Elsa extinguished the flame on the giant sword. Although she had some good feelings towards the Eagle Group, it did not mean that she wanted to burn all the emotions accumulated so far here. The more she could save, the better.
If she were left alone to fight the enemy outside the firewall, the efficiency might be higher!
An extremely fast figure flashed past her and scraped off a piece of flesh from her shoulder. When the extremely fast monster came next time, Elsa used all her strength to smash it to the ground with the giant sword.
She now has a clear idea of the strength of this group of monsters.
Judging from the feeling of adventuring in the Sen dungeon, the strength of most monsters is above the level of ordinary soldiers but not elites. A few can meet the elite level. The huge number is enough to overwhelm those silver-level teams, but for Elsa.
At least she won't die for a while!
At the same time, she also discovered a problem.
That is, from beginning to end, she seemed to have never seen people using any magic in this painting world!
Not only did they have no magic, but the strength of these people also made her feel ordinary, like just stronger ordinary people, so she had no power to fight back when facing these monsters.
What’s going on? Not only does he not have magic, but his physical fitness is also just average.
Elsa suddenly remembered something she had heard Sally tell.
The original magic came from the gift of the God of Magic, and was called original magic. Each magic was very powerful. So some scholars have raised the question, what was people’s living conditions like before the God of Magic bestowed magic?
It’s impossible to imagine it at all, after all, magic has penetrated into everyone’s life.
So what is going on in this painting world? Whether it is human or monster, they all feel like they have seen a ghost after seeing her flames.
Could this really be the era before the God of Magic bestowed the original magic?
People only feel that the "history" shown by Sean is very distant, but they are still vague about how far away it is. This time, in the Berserk painting world, they suddenly have a concept.
It’s really far away!
At this time, Elsa discovered that there were more than just members of the Eagle Group in this place. There were also many members of the Eagle Group scattered in other places. Regardless of whether there was magic in this era, the power of mortals could not compete with monsters. If she didn't go to rescue them, then -
A roar was heard, and the emotions contained in it immediately attracted Elsa's attention.
It's Gus!
She saw the strong man surrounded by monsters, covered in blood and looking in a very bad condition. Just when she wanted to rush over to help him.
Guts was seen piercing a monster's head with the dagger in his hand, and then he roared and killed another monster that was attacking him. The dagger was completely damaged, but he broke off the monster's sharp horns and used them as weapons to continue fighting, piercing the monster's chest, neck, hands and feet. Even if he was hit hard by the monster and suffered an attack that would kill an ordinary person, he would get up and continue fighting!
In such a short period of time, more than five monsters have died at his hands!
Erza opened her mouth slightly. Guts's performance was totally incomparable to that of the others. He was like a killing god, a killing machine driven completely by rage.
It is obvious at a glance that his physical fitness is at the top of humankind. His well-tempered body allows him to fight even against hordes of monsters. He is a natural-born strongest warrior.
Unfortunately, the human body has its limits, and he gradually couldn't hold on under the monsters' repeated attacks. Elsa immediately joined in to help him fight.
Elsa had just killed a monster when this scene suddenly flashed before her eyes.
Everyone in the Eagle Group was devoured by the monster, and their former friends were all turned into minced meat. Guts fought his way out of the encirclement, stumbling around looking for survivors with a desperate expression. Just when he thought no one survived, he suddenly saw a good friend standing not far away.
Despair immediately turned into hope. When he ran over and called his friend's name, the latter suddenly split into two, revealing the monster hidden behind. It turned out that his friend had already been hollowed out and eaten, leaving only an empty shell.
Elsa suddenly woke up.
The friend of Gus who was eaten up seemed to be the big guy she had just rescued.
What did she see just now? Could it be that it was what would have happened if she and Sally had not come here?
The scene where all of his companions died and he was the only one left was really too hopeless.
She immediately felt pity for this man who liked to use heavy weapons just like she did, and swung her greatsword to kill monsters to help relieve his stress.
While watching the video, she suddenly had a feeling that she was very similar to this man.
But she immediately abandoned this idea. After all, her relationship with Eliphis was not as good as that between Guts and Griffith.
Besides, Eliphis is no match for Griffith.
At least in Erza's current impression, Griffith will not betray his companions and let his companions block the knife for him like Eliphith did in the battle against the phantom of Pope Sullivan!
By the way, where did Griffith go, and why did the number of members of the Eagle Group decrease?
With doubts in mind, Elsa continued to fight and tried to rescue the Eagle Group.
However, the battlefield was too vast and the Eagle Group was too scattered, so the number of mercenaries continued to decline steadily.
During the battle, the way she looked at Guts changed.
When watching the video, she felt that everyone's performance was mediocre. Gus's performance was occasionally outstanding, but what she wanted to say was:
Where is your fighting spirit and skills as a warrior? Why can't you even jump five meters?
But now Erza suddenly realized that Guts was fighting with a strength that reached the limit of human beings but was still within the scope of mortals. He survived those harsh battles and fought in this hell full of demons and monsters.
She immediately had a sense of amazement: "How on earth did you survive all those battles?"
And now, with the continuous healing from her flames, Guts's speed in killing monsters was only slightly slower than hers!
this.
Elsa couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she had just an ordinary person's physique.
The answer is that a teenage girl simply cannot survive here!
The two of them continued to fight together, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the monster called the Apostle howled hoarsely.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the monster corpses were piled up like a Jingguan, but looking around, the enemies were still endless.
Elsa did not feel despair, but she felt a sense of oppression, a sense of oppression called "endless"!
Moreover, the strength of these monsters is constantly increasing!
Even she was feeling a little anxious. When would it end?
How can we conquer this painting world?
Torture, endless torture, and the fatigue that the battle with no end in sight brings to the body and mind is impossible to eliminate.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Guts was already exhausted, the Sword Skeleton Great Sword was sprinkled with repair powder, and Sally's rapier was completely broken.
Elsa's eyes were almost numb.
Do we have to keep fighting?
"Boom boom"
The ground made up of human faces suddenly shook. Elsa seemed to sense something and looked up.
All I saw was a giant clenched fist standing on the ground.
It is slowly opening.
