Chapter 720: The Last Step? (Two in One)
Edith was the first great arcane to come back after half of the city's destruction. The scene Roddy saw was the arcane's first perspective: holding a staff and leading the way Edith led more than a dozen "students" in his magic tower to rush towards the "mother body" at the same time, but the bombing failed to achieve results. Instead, the arcanes died and injured. In order to prevent the other party from evolving to an unimaginable level, Edith finally chose to bomb the other party's body, searched for the final weakness and chose to self-destruct it inside.
Roddy's lips were pursed tightly. Perhaps because this was the influence of soul transmission, he felt Edith's determination and nostalgia at that time. "Sacrifice" is easy to say, but too difficult to do. A great arcane can give up his life to protect a city, and he can already afford the word "hero".
But these scenes did not end there. Roddy discovered that the "maternal body" did not die after the explosion, but instead escaped back to the sea in disguise as a "child body" - Edith's "soul" condensed into shape in his body at this time, and with strong mental power, he tried to completely imprison the other party's "demon crystal core".
However, after the destroyed high-elf city no one could come out to help Edith after the explosion, the "mother body" finally returned to the deep sea by instinct.
Although Edith was unwilling to accept it, she had no choice. So for the next few hundred years, her "soul crystal" always tried hard to maintain her imprisonment and prevent her from returning to her original strength. But as time passed, this imprisonment became weaker and weaker, and eventually turned the "maternal body" into victory...
The erosion of spirit made Edith suffer, but with great perseverance, he still insisted on not being completely corrupted and eroded for so many years.
All emotions flashed through Roddy's heart, but what surprised him the most were the last scenes of the picture in front of him: strange fluctuations came from the sea, and the "maternal body" was summoned and received a bottle of red potion on the lonely boat.
In this picture, Roddy saw a group of familiar images...they were several Tuk women with fair skin and golden gauze dress.
The clear logic and the scenes flashed in the timeline sequence made Roddy quickly understand the whole story. When the picture disappeared, Roddy found that he saw the blue eyes again - but this time, Edith's eyes were full of anxiety.
"Catch it!"
"Catch it!"
"You can't let it escape!"
The repeated murmurs like echoes made Roddy realize that Edith's condition might have been very bad. For more than 700 years, the entire soul crystal has reached the stage of exhausting the lamp and drying the oil. What supports it not to collapse should be this obsession - killing the "maternal body"!
A white highlight suddenly appeared on the "map bar". Obviously Edith has locked in the current position of the "maternal body".
At the same time, the [Devil's Disaster] mission has a new prompt:
"Look for the true body of the ancient giant beast! Edith is willing to help you catch it!
...There is not much time left for you."
Task objective: Find the core of the "maternal body" 0/1
Mission reward: 1280,000 experience points
Roddy knew that he had to pursue the victory now, so he stuffed the crystal back into his pocket and jumped out of the ruins. The next second, the summoned "secondary flame technique" was attached to the arrow. Roddy shot it out into the sky and summoned the "wind element", and quickly rushed towards the highlight on the map under the accelerated BUFF...
*******
Under the "Corenmere" magic tower, the troops after the shock wave ended, looking at the sky that seemed to suddenly become clear, and could not speak for a long time.
Speaker Jeremy let out a long sigh, and the sense that there was no enemy's breath, but this did not mean that the war was over. The fishman was still raging in the city, and there were still many survivors of "sub-body" - so he immediately ordered loudly: "Build a front! Clean up the whole city!"
However, the team led by Akasha obviously did not intend to listen to him. The entire front led by Elvin had quickly headed towards the dock - needless to say, they were looking for Roddy's figure.
During this movement, Jeremy saw that the entire front was moving with them... because the front built here was basically composed of the "Resurrection Fishman" and the envoys of other countries. Teams, including the Bindu Kingdom, were not interested in staying here to listen to Jeremy's command. They only knew that it was absolutely safe to follow the elite soldiers in front of them, so they followed them consciously.
As soon as they left, the entire front in front of the magic tower was almost empty. This scene immediately made Jeremy and the mages stunned.
Only then did the leaders of Rassieman realize that this war would not be able to "clear the battlefield" without Roddy's team!
"Uh...change the plan and take the lead in rescuing Roddy! Clean up all enemies along the way."
Jeremy coughed lightly and quickly issued a new order. Otherwise, how could he talk about "building a front" with just a few commanders?
However, before taking a few steps, someone shouted in front of him: "What is over there?!"
He raised his head and the arrow burning with fire drew a slightly dim track in the night sky. Roddy's keel bow was full of strength, and with the magic of the "guiding arrow", the highest point of the arrow almost reached more than 300 meters. However, at a distance of four or five kilometers, the trajectory flashed and was soon submerged in the floating dust that had not yet dissipated.
Akasha and others in the front saw this scene and immediately accelerated again. Almost all of their war horses were killed and injured in the impact. At this time, they could only rely on Sylvia's blessing spell and rely on running and rescue.
On the battlefield ahead, the mages who walked out of the cover also saw Roddy's signal arrow. When they were hesitating in their hearts whether they should go forward, a figure was already flying straight in the sky in the distance...
Several holes were torn through the robe, and the messy hair of Maleen Sera successfully withstood the impact of the "maternal body" explosion, but her image was much more embarrassing. But she didn't care about looking at the wounds covered with blood on her arms at the pier where the corpses were everywhere - there, the arrows Roddy shot with all her might have brought a large burst of fire!
The "maternal body" is now completely gone, and it is as huge as a mountain before. It is frantically escaping like a "subbody" about four meters tall. The dense tentacles support the body and retreat quickly to the coast. It thought it could escape, but it never thought it would be targeted by Roddy...
If it is caught up by a mage, it still has a way to avoid it. However, at this distance, Roddy's output firepower is even more terrifying than the three mages combined.
More than thirty burst arrows hit the body of the "maternal body" under the "guided bombardment". The tentacles exploded on the spot, making it flee to the sea much slower in an instant. In order to counterattack Roddy, the tentacle quickly seized a piece of rotten wood on the road, thrust and threw it straight towards Roddy-
"Bang!"
"Element" appeared in front of Roddy, and his body firmly blocked the wooden block. During this period, Roddy's arrows shot continuously on the eyes in the center of the mother's body. The precise "arcane shooting" made the "maternal body" twitch. It knew that if it continued to escape, it would be shot to death. It turned around and rushed towards Roddy - but before it could pounce in front of Roddy, a series of "giant ice cone techniques" fell from the sky, nailing it to the ground with a "puff puff puff" sound...
"Roddy!"
When Malein Sera saw Roddy shooting with a bow, a huge rock fell to the ground in her heart. However, she did not realize what the guy who looked like a "subbody" in front of her was. As soon as the spell in her hand slowed down, she saw the monster quickly spraying thick black fog around, and at the same time, a spherical shadow that was only more than one meter long jumped out from under her body, and quickly fled to the dock in the distance in the black fog.
This "Golden Cicada Escape" skill scared Melinthra, but it could not intimidate Roddy, who held Edith's soul crystal in his hand. He quickly locked the figure, "running" and "jumping" one after another, but the running arrows were difficult to hit the black shadows that were hiking in the ruins of the building. When Roddy found that the other party was about to touch the dock beach, he had an idea and took out the "demonic deterrence" skill he had just obtained, directly locking in the target in front of him!
"hiss--"
Amid the strange hissing, the monster with a ball-shaped octopus slit up, and its originally soft tentacles stretched straight toward the surroundings, as if they were hit by electric shock.
However, the spiritual resistance of the "maternal body" is too high. Even if its strength is weakened to the present level, this extremely targeted "stiffness" effect will be over in just one second. Its tentacles quickly curled up, tremblingly supporting the body to continue to escape. But Roddy would not miss this opportunity, and he grabbed the tentacles of the "maternal body" and slapped on the ground like a sack of sacks!
The dagger was unsheathed, and Roddy stabbed the opponent's body with all his strength. The soft and smooth tentacles whipped his cheeks and body frantically, but could not stop the sharp blade and nailed it to the ground. The next second, Maleinthra's "Frozen Technique" followed, casting it three times in a row, freezing it and the dagger that Roddy released into an ice cube.
"What is this?!"
Melinthella landed next to Roddy, staggeringly.
"We must..." Roddy raised his head and saw clearly what Malena looked like. The words to his mouth suddenly got stuck.
Blood flowed along her cheeks to the collar, the sleeves of the robe almost disappeared, and the arms turned red. There were wounds on Melinthra's thighs, so they couldn't even walk. Roddy didn't expect her to be so severely injured, but when she thought that she was the first to come here to help her, she immediately understood...
"What must be done? Kill it?"
Melinthella took a step forward, raised the wand in her hand, but she couldn't help but tilt to the side because her thighs were weak. Roddy hugged her and said, "Wait first..."
He took out Edith's soul crystal and found that the "Task Bar" [Demon's Disaster] completed a step. After rewarding experience, the content also updated:
"Assist Edith in fulfilling her last wish."
Mission goal: Place the soul crystal and the demon crystal of the ancient sea beast together
Mission Reward: "Holy Rassieman" title
4530000 Experience Point
Malein Sera wanted to stand up again, but she was unable to maintain balance due to her serious injury. After Roddy changed his position, he finally gave up his efforts and leaned honestly in Roddy's arms. Her heartbeats a little fast, so she could only turn her attention to the "maternal body" that was struggling in front of her. Seeing the other party breaking the ice a few traces, she quickly waved her wand to freeze again - but she frowned as soon as she finished casting: "Who is talking? No...it is using spiritual magic on me!"
“I felt it too.”
Roddy stared at the small-sized monster in front of him. Because of the "Dragon Slayer's Seal", he was almost immune to most spiritual spells, but now he could still hear the other party's whispers constantly bewitching him...
The opponent's mental power is far beyond imagination. If it weren't for Melinthra, who was also from the dragon clan, he might have been hit and let it run away now!
I'm afraid that only a great arcane like Edith can withstand such a difficult character. If it were other mages, who would dare to say that they would not be eroded?
Roddy turned his head and saw that there were already several black spots flying towards this place in the distance. It was probably those mages who were exploring... and this meant a very serious problem: these mages were likely interested in the guy in front of him and pulled them to the laboratory for anatomy.
Roddy really doesn't believe that they can withstand the other party's spiritual erosion, but he also doesn't trust the solution now in front of him - Edith's soul crystal has a "criminal record" of being eroded. Although the task is to "fulfill Edith's last wish", he did not say that this would completely kill the "Ancient Sea Monster"!
Roddy dared not be careless on this issue, so he immediately discussed with Melinthra to kill the monster directly.
Malene Sela had no nonsense about this. The continuous elemental cutting instantly dismembered the frozen "maternal body" into pieces, and also made the gray crystal as big as a fist appear in front of the two...
"I'll fix it."
"Thank you for doing so much, human."
Edith's words appeared in Roddy's mind, but he ignored it at all and continued to attack the crystal in various ways with Melinthra!
But what surprised the two of them was that neither the sword blade slashing nor the various elemental impact burning could cause any damage to it.
Even dragon crystals will be damaged and completely shattered under continuous impact. However, the "maternal" crystals obviously do not belong to this situation.
"It has existed for too long, and it is difficult to break the mental barrier after the demonization."
