Struggle in the Steam Age

At the moment when all the puppets were destroyed, Lawrence saw the priests around him spit out a mouthful of blood almost at the same time. Because they continued to increase their own defenses on the defenses of those puppets just now, as a result, they were directly injured by the magic backlash after those defenses were destroyed.

After breaking through the puppet's defense, the monster crashed into the defense line of the paladins at the fastest speed. Although the Paladins, you have built a line of defense as much as possible. But these flesh and blood bodies are no stronger than those puppets. In the first round of collision, the holy knights blocked the monster's siege with the support of the priests who had recovered from the medicine after drinking the medicine, but then the two holy knights of the Mother Earth who were holding shields in the front line directly It was hit by two tentacles growing from the monster and flew up.

You must know that among all kinds of paladins, the paladins of the Mother Earth are known for their extremely strong defense. Especially the two paladins who were sent flying now, who were originally blocked in the center line, belonged to the kind of paladins who majored in defense-related directions. After covering their bodies with a layer of earth and stone armor, they are at least two stories high, and their defense capabilities are close to that of more advanced transcendents. But even so, when faced with monster attacks, they still flew up like paper.

And it may be because the current monster realizes that such an attack is not easy for it to die, so it spent a lot of money to add white mist infused with the gods to its limbs. So after being struck by those tentacles, the earth and rock armor on the two paladins shattered at the same time, and at the same time they fell to the ground and vomited blood. It looks like it won't recover anytime soon.

However, unlike those puppets, the paladins immediately changed their strategy and besieged after realizing that they couldn't fight head-on. At first, Lawrence was worried that they would be wiped out by the monster soon, but soon he found that the paladins successfully tied the monster and dragged the monster to a distance of more than 20 meters in front of him.

To be able to do this, apart from the fact that all the paladins and priests present had died, the most important thing was that everyone had roughly confirmed their identities from the clues Lawrence found before coming, so these church members carried A lot of targeted magic props. And with the help of these powerful props, the two sides had a back and forth fight for a while.

But everyone present knew that it was because of the huge extraordinary level difference between the two sides. Even with the help of targeted magic props, it is impossible to maintain this balance for too long, but the on-site divine ritual still takes a minute or two to complete. This makes the current situation on the court a race against time.

For Lawrence and the others, they just need to withstand the monster's attack for the next minute or two. Wait until the magic ceremony is over. The power of the gods can completely eliminate the monster in front of him. And the monster seems to be vaguely aware of this, so it will fight desperately at this time.

At this moment, Nora changed her attacking method. Because she found that even though her attack had caused a lot of damage to the opponent, the monster was now desperately preparing to destroy the magical ritual with increasingly intense energy reactions above the mountain, basically ignoring Nora's blow from behind.

She quickly danced her hands and intertwined pieces of silver-green light on her chest, and then these lights flew behind her to form a palm-sized magic circle. When the magic circle was in place, they instantly turned into pocket javelins with obvious barbs, and then flew together towards the monster entangled with the paladins.

These javelins successfully penetrated the monster's outer layer of defense, but unlike the direct explosion before, these javelins quickly grew a large number of side branches like roots, entangled with the messy structure of the monster's body, and hung tightly on the body of the monster.

Then, the tails of these javelins that were exposed outside the monster's body stretched out strands of silver-green intertwined light that connected with Nora's hands, and then the little puppet fell directly from the sky to the other person who was holding these silk threads. Back and forth quickly, head to head, until the lights collapsed like real ropes.

At this moment, a paladin was struggling to raise his shield trying to block the opponent's forelegs. But after holding up the shield and waiting for several seconds, he didn't feel the imaginary attack, so he moved the shield slightly and looked up. In the end, I saw the monster holding up its forelimbs and twisting desperately for no reason.

The paladin was naturally a little curious about what the monster in front of him was doing, so he observed it carefully. Soon he discovered the pocket javelins made of light on the monster's body, and the silk thread made of light connected behind the javelins. Obviously, these silk threads and javelins together imprisoned the monster's activities.

"How do you feel now?" Seeing Nora struggling to drag the monster back. Lawrence asked concernedly through soul contact. At least in his opinion, the size of the little puppet is far from that of the monster. He was a little worried that the little puppet might not be able to support it and be hurt like those puppets.

"It should be able to hold on for dozens of seconds." Just as she passed this message, the monster began to struggle hard. Nora didn't have a hard top, but danced on the ground like a dance. At the same time, with the help of these postures, he manipulated the silk threads connecting himself and the monster to lengthen or shorten, tightly controlling the monster's movements.

Seeing this opportunity, everyone who was able to move at the scene tried their best to attack the monster. It's just that this time they targeted the tentacles under the monster's body. In the midst of everyone's concentrated fire, the monsters that had basically given up their defense fell off their bodies and their tentacles used to move were broken off one after another.

In such a situation, after trying for a while and realizing that he could not break free from these silk threads, the monster let out a scream again, and then its whole body swelled up suddenly, and countless tiny spikes made of white mist were also released. Simultaneously shot in all directions.

Although these spikes are made of white mist, at this moment, they are as hard as steel, and even have a sharp whistling sound when flying in the air. More importantly, even Lawrence could feel the power contained in these spikes.

And the paladins and priests who were on the front line even clearly felt the feeling as if death was knocking on the door. This forced them to temporarily give up the siege of the monsters and take an evasive or defensive posture to meet the blow.

"Clang—" There was a violent sound when the first spike touched the shield of a paladin. At the same time, the face of the paladin behind the shield changed drastically. This is not because the spike is so powerful to a certain extent, but because although the spike is menacing and full of momentum, after hitting his shield, it is not as powerful as imagined, and when it touches his shield In the first instant, it dispersed into a cloud of mist.

"Be careful!" Seeing this, he immediately reminded his comrades beside him, but it was already too late. With this feint, the monster's entire shell was thrown away, and then a small monster that was only 1/3 of the original monster rushed out of it and jumped straight up.

Obviously, after realizing that the ceremony above was about to be completed. This monster abandoned most of its power and body, and successfully broke free from everyone's restraint on it, trying to deliver a fatal blow to the ceremony scene above.

Just after the monster shattered the last magic barrier that the priests jointly set up, it rushed directly to the temporary sacrificial place on the mountain platform without even stopping. But just a few meters away from where Lawrence and the others were, a barrier of light blocked its way.
