Struggle in the Steam Age

"Now it's time for me to make my debut." Seeing that everyone was ready to fight to the death, Nora was naturally brought up by this atmosphere. She floated to Lawrence's side and grabbed his hand, then said seriously. "Lend me your strength, otherwise everyone may not be able to survive these three minutes."

"Understood." After hearing Nora's words, Lawrence immediately pulled her back to the core defensive circle and sat down cross-legged, then transferred his power of Bai Ze to the little puppet. Under everyone's astonished eyes, flames full of holy power burst out from the little puppet, and then the flames formed a phantom of Bai Ze that roared to the sky.

Although the monster on the opposite side didn't have any consciousness, just the remaining instinct in its body made it feel the threat from Nora's aura. So it immediately gave up on the paladin who erected a shield wall close at hand to meet it, and then turned to look at the little puppet flying behind it.

"Everyone can attack it now. I think Nora can attract the opponent for at least two minutes." Lawrence said to his comrades who were stunned after seeing this scene. "However, I think as the magic ceremony continues on our side, the other party should come back to his senses soon."

When Nora was flying in the air, she kept trying to attract her down the mountain or other places, but it might be because of the obvious extraordinary fluctuations caused by the magic ceremony in this place, so although this monster bit Nora very tightly, as long as it left Lawrence They will return after a certain distance, no matter how much she attracts, she can't attract the monster to a farther place.

So in two minutes, what the little puppet can do now is to attract the monster to a position about 30 meters away and slither around like a dog, and at the same time condense the power in the body into a branch The javelin with the length of a human arm was thrown on the monster below.

Compared to the very small damage caused by the magic spells of the priests and the bomb attacks of the paladins, the damage caused by Nora's photochemical javelins is obviously much greater. Each javelin successfully destroyed the monster's powerful defense formed by layers of white mist and beetles until it was useless, and then turned into a ball of light that radiated around, obliterating all the surrounding existences in the light middle.

But it is a pity that although the power held by the little puppet is not weaker than the power held by the current monster from the perspective of pure energy level, Nora, who is purely accumulating as a newborn existence, in some angles On the face of it, it is not even as good as this fallen god.

This also led to the fact that although the power contained in Nora's spells could easily cause obvious damage to monsters, due to the insufficient amount of spells, these damages could not achieve a final effect. In Lawrence's sight, those light-filled wounds were quickly refilled by wriggling bugs.

"Boom—boom—boom—" Just as Lawrence and the others were trying their best to weaken the monsters in front of them, a magnificent bell-like sound rang in everyone's soul. Then, on the four temporary altars in the rear, a beam of light rose up to the sky and the earth.

Seeing this scene, the monster immediately gave up its pursuit of the villain and the doll, turned its head and rushed up the mountain, and rushed directly to the four altars that were running. The monster grew countless tentacles under its body, which doubled its moving speed several times.

Everyone was still trying to slow down the opponent's movement by attacking the moving organs under the opponent as before, but this time the monster was desperate. A large amount of white mist was sprayed out from its body and wrapped around itself, and then counteracted the attack that Lawrence and the others rained on it.

However, as these white mist were offset by various attacks. Lawrence and the others also saw the monster shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. It can be seen that the reason why it didn't use this trick just now is because this trick actually consumes its own origin. But now as the magic ceremony is about to be completed, it has to work hard.

"Drink—ha—" After realizing that the monster's progress could not be stopped temporarily, the paladins formed a shield wall in front of the monster side by side and stopped there firmly. Considering the opponent's size and the current rampage, the paladins lined up in two rows and blocked the monster directly. Behind them, a large group of priests also stopped attacking the monsters and began to add various spells to the paladins in front.

Lawrence, who was sitting in the back, saw that the earth ditch used to ignite the fire wall was widened and deepened at the fastest speed, and at the same time, a earth wall entwined with thorns and vines also quickly rose up to block the monster. in front of. In addition to this kind of fortification, there are also large and small pits and thorns on the ground, trying to hinder the monster's footsteps.

On the other hand, more than a dozen alchemy puppets were gathered together to stand behind the earth wall and transformed into defensive mode. At the same time, a large number of runes exploded on his body, completely connecting these puppets into one. In this case, the returnees almost completely gave up the ability to move and attack, but thus gained an unprecedentedly strong defense.

As for Lawrence, although he has lost almost all of his spellcasting ability now because of the shared ability with Nora. But at this time when everyone was desperate, he also used his rifle to shoot the monster repeatedly, even though each shot could only kill one or two bugs, he didn't stop his movements.

Although everyone has gone all out, the monster with the power of the gods also exploded with extremely powerful attack power. Those traps and thorns were directly crushed by it, and the thick walls mixed with civil engineering failed to stop the opponent for even a second. With just a light bump, the wall that originally required a heavy artillery of more than 100 mm to blast open a big hole. Then the monster burst out of the dust and hit the golems.

Unlike the earth wall that collapsed just now, after contacting these puppets, large pieces of runes floated up from the puppets to block the charging monsters. Although the entire line of puppets sank directly due to the monster's impact, a large amount of metal on the puppet facing the impact in the middle was also deformed, and a deep groove was plowed on the ground with its heels. But in any case, they successfully blocked the monster's charge.

Then the runes on the puppets and the white mist on the monster reacted violently, and they were in a stalemate with it, and during the stalemate, some dead beetles on the monster fell to the ground. Seeing this, the priests at the rear took out some potions from their pockets and poured them into their mouths, and then began to attach various defensive spells to the puppets.

Even with the extra help of the priests, in just a few seconds after the collision, a large number of gemstones embedded in the back of the puppet released colorful lights. Then pieces of it shattered and fell from the original grooves, painting the ground into pools of white powder. In just a dozen seconds, the energy that the priests claimed to be able to run the puppet for more than five years was almost completely exhausted.

Seeing that it was temporarily unable to break through the defense in front of it, the monster took half a step back, then quickly grew a sharp horn on its head and hit the barrier in front of the puppets.

"Hey—boom!" This time, after the impact, the monster's unicorn pierced through the barrier directly with the kinetic energy of the impact, and after only holding on for a few seconds, the magic barrier melted into pieces like glass that had been hit hard. Pieces of fragments, at the same time, all the puppets were directly scrapped collectively due to severe overload.

"This—" Lawrence's eyes widened in surprise, these puppets together were much stronger in defense than the same number of themselves. He didn't expect that the opponent could smash the defense of these puppets head-on with one blow.
