Blood tax

Chapter 174 Your fantasy will eventually be shattered

For a second, Griffith seemed to see contempt and disdain in the rotting, twisted, broken ghoul's face.

Thonos suddenly contracted his limbs, accumulated strength, and ejected like a stone bullet from a trebuchet.

Griffith hurriedly raised the vanguard shield to resist.After the tremor of the heavy blow came, the whistling wind rang in the ears.

"Bah!"

With a loud noise, the ice shield burst open, but the powerful ghoul was not repulsed by the crushed ice and the shock wave.Its powerful body withstood the impact, and its sharp claws left three deep scratches on the solid shield like lightning. The powerful force directly opened the middle door of Griffith's defense.The sharp claws flickering with black light moved towards his waist.

The blow tore through the breastplate's defenses.Griffith didn't even have time to feel the pain as the claws dug into his waist.

Thonos's attack is so powerful that it can penetrate plate armor, which will definitely cause heavy damage to him.

However, the strong physique of the melee Extraordinary allowed Griffith to block the twisting and flinching caused by the attack and pain.He didn't retreat, and his movements didn't deform.Flesh locked the ghoul's claws before the pain could spread.

Tremble at my reckoning!
Griffith cut off with a sword.The edge of the sword rolled up the bone-eroding ice, and cut a terrible wound on the ghoul's head.The freezing air was biting, causing severe frostbite to it, and even a large piece of rotten flesh was frozen into ice foam and shattered in the wound.

Griffith abandoned his shield, pulled out the corrupted feather fencing sword from his waist, and launched a lightning-like counterattack with the power of liquidation.The sharp sword pierced into the ghoul's right shoulder and came out through the bone. The gloomy shadow energy gathered into a phantom like a jackal, biting the wound fiercely.

He and the ghoul were hit hard by each other at the same time, and they staggered back together.Red blood and black blood dripped on the black mud that was about to disappear, stirring up a smoky surge.

Both sides groaned, but neither side stopped or talked nonsense, and the second round of blows came immediately.

Thonos spun rapidly and swung the sharp bone tail like a long whip.

A wall of ice suddenly erected in front of the bone tail, temporarily blocking the attack and line of sight.The moment the ice wall shattered, two Griffiths flashed out to the left and right respectively.

They all held sharp ice spears, and shot at the ghoul with all their strength from left to right.

The vigorous and ferocious figure splashed muddy water on the black mud, and quickly dodged among the passing ice spears.

However, a number of ice spears condensed around the two quasi-knights, sending out the second and third rounds of projection like a gust of wind.

Thonos dodges with astonishing agility. At the moment of lightning and flint, it feels that its body is pierced by an ice spear, but the violent power is still surging.It slammed into a quasi-knight with a frenzied charge, knocked him back heavily, and at the same time pulled out a bone spur from its back and threw it backhand.

"Boom!" The quasi-knight who was hit was shattered into mud-like debris on the spot.

At the same time, a small crystal bottle fell to its feet, and the disgusting brown-yellow smoke filled the air, trapping its movements like a big hand that couldn't break free.

Ghouls slumped to the ground like bound beasts.The damage left by the feather fencing sword shrouded in shadow power is like a maggot attached to the bone, and it is still deteriorating.

Griffith took a few steps back.He didn't attack, but took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it into his mouth as quickly as possible.Blood gushed out from the right waist and abdomen like a fountain, and the severe pain almost knocked him to the ground.

Both sides are gasping.

"You can strengthen this puppet, which is a very good tactical choice," the ghoul said in a low voice, lying on the ground, "if you can survive."

Griffith was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.His face was pale, and he nodded with cold sweat all over his face.

"One more thing, let me tell you by the way." Thonos gradually broke free from the influence of deceleration, "Physical and mental trauma and weakness will weaken the will of the subject, and the will of the secondary position will take advantage of it. No matter how noble Or vile, light or dark."

The quasi-knight nodded seriously.

As soon as the words fell, a golden light suddenly bloomed in the shadow covered by the dead wood, and a powerful aura hit him head-on.

Thonos swung the bone whip again, and a burst of wind pressure shot out, cutting off a piece of tree trunk and branches.

However, the golden light refracted over, instantly avoiding the deadly wind pressure.

The ghoul's ferocious eyes could barely keep up with the light, and its wide open mouth only had time to let out the slightest roar.

Amber appeared behind Thonos, the light gathered on her glove, and punched the unprepared ghoul!
"Crack!" The ghoul's right arm, which had just been severely injured by the corrupted feather fencing sword, burst open, flying out with a piece of flesh and bone.

Before Thonos adjusted his posture and counterattacked, Amber swept his leg towards its left knee, knocking the ghoul down on the spot.

The blood-colored hind limbs without skin were spinning in mid-air, whistling and flying far away.

"Hey, you are so strong!"

Thonos just muttered something before flying backwards, smashing tombstones and dead trees like cannonballs, and smashing heavily on a raised rock.

There were dry gasps from its throat, and it slowly fell to the ground like an insect torn from a specimen book.

"Hey, look what I found, a talking ghoul! My promotion is guaranteed," Amber tossed his flying blond hair, "I am your nemesis, Amber Roserite."

As soon as the words fell, the trainee huntress in front of Tonos disappeared.When she reappeared, she was already punching the ghoul's head like lightning and thunder from the side of the ghoul.

"Boom!"

Griffith saw that the ghoul who was about to counterattack was directly kicked back several steps by the punch, staggering like a drunk on the street, obviously falling into a state of dizziness.

Not waiting for the ghoul to get rid of its bad state, Amber has already possessed himself and sprinted in front of it, dodging the sweep of the bone tail with extremely agile and dexterous movements, and swung a fist at the ghoul's jaw.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, Griffith felt his heart tremble.Thornos's mouth full of fangs sprayed out like snowflakes mixed with green juice.

Thonos is an experienced hunter, coupled with its tyrannical vitality, it still responds to repeated heavy blows.Even though it was already under the multiple negative effects of stun, slow and continuous lightning damage, it still protected its head and jumped back quickly to dodge.

It's useless, the outcome has already been decided.Griffith sighed slightly.

Amber has overwhelming advantages in terms of movement speed, attack speed, and acceleration from zero to combat state.Her attack has both physical damage capable of piercing armor and magical special effects that are difficult to defend against. As long as she is hit, it is a thrilling trauma.

When the ghoul appeared in the air, Amber had already sprinted under it, and his feet suddenly jumped up.

Although Thonos' bone whip was still sweeping around, it couldn't stop Amber from appearing behind it.The blond girl swung a thunderous elbow at the back of the ghoul's head, spinning it in mid-air.

With the offensive just now, Amber's two slender and straight legs clamped the waist of the ghoul, grabbed its back neck with both hands and rolled rapidly in the air.

Thonos just felt like the world was spinning, and before it could figure out its direction, it was thrown towards the ground.At the moment when the ghoul was thrown out, Amber twisted his amazingly elastic waist, turned around in a storm-like roar at a frightening speed, and swept towards the ghoul that had just escaped, from top to bottom.

"boom!"

The powerful ghoul leader was accelerated by the shock the moment he was thrown, and smashed towards the ground like a meteorite.

Wherever it went, trees and rocks shattered like they had been ravaged by flash floods.Thonos plowed a long trench half a meter deep and ten meters long on the ground, and was finally embedded in half a boulder, unable to move.

Throwing Skills · Return to Heaven!

Griffith and Amber had seen her perform this combat skill when communicating in private, but this was the first time she had seen it in actual combat.Once the enemy attacked by this skill falls into the rhythm of her combo attack, there is almost no room for resistance and evasion, and they can only rely on their physique to resist.During the stormy combo, every movement of her will be blessed by the storm, and every blow will be accompanied by terrifying lightning damage.

If Griffith was hit by this trick.Well, there is no need for this move, Amber's jab and uppercut with stun, deceleration, and paralysis effects are enough to beat Griffith so helplessly.This is the result of the suppression of different Beyonder characteristics.

To deal with an opponent like Amber who is proficient in physical skills, control skills, and extremely agile but has no magic resistance, only a Beyonder like Galadia with strong battlefield awareness can detect the enemy first, and then use continuous The control skills first restrict Amber's actions, and then use long-range attacks to continue to suppress; or Sonia directly consumes her with large-scale splash damage.

Melee Beyonders will definitely be in an extremely dangerous situation when facing Amber's attack.

The ghoul, which was severely injured by Amber's combo, was already embedded in the dirt and gravel.Its neck, wrist, and waist joints were broken one after another, and the broken bones directly pierced through the tough body and came out of the body.At its horrifying wound, there are still lightning lingering, obviously causing continuous damage.

"Heh—" Amber deftly fell back to the ground, retracted his posture and adjusted his breathing.

The series of attacks just now consumed her a lot. After the battle, she needs to adjust her body as soon as possible to avoid damage.

She glanced at Griffith's blood-soaked right abdomen, and was taken aback by the terrible wound. After looking carefully, she was slightly relieved, and then threw a bottle of potion over: "Drink quickly! Stop the bleeding first, I will to deal with it."

Griffith pressed his wound and shook his head at the blonde girl, and tried to open his mouth and said, "It's just that there is more blood. Wait a minute, I have something to say to this ghoul."

Tonos struggled, trying to stand up.

Amber glanced at it vigilantly, nodded and took two steps back.

"Mr. Tonos, I think you still maintain human traits and thoughts, and you can also communicate," Griffith retracted his weapon and said calmly, "This is the last chance, my conditions remain the same, and you can also make requests .

"Join my flag to fight, or, completely destroy."

The ghoul watched him silently for a few seconds.Just when Griffith wondered if it had been beaten to death, the ghoul suddenly asked, "Is it a woman?"

This question stunned both Griffith and Amber.

Immediately afterwards, Tonos let out a slight laugh and said in a hoarse voice:
"Hehehe, I understand.

"Young man, I know what you are thinking and what you want to get or understand through me. It is not surprising to have such thoughts when you meet an undead creature that can communicate. Let me tell you.

"Death is the end of life. There is no second life. It doesn't exist. The existence resurrected by you may have a human appearance and memory, but death has completely changed her. Your fantasy will eventually be shattered.

"You will pay a terrible price for your attempt. I don't know the exact price, I'm just a ghoul. But I can say for sure that when that day comes, you will feel the indescribable pain, regret and despair.

"This is some life experience that I, as an elder, need to tell you."

Amber looked at the dignified Griffith, and cast sharp eyes on Thonos: "Ghoul, cherish your last chance. You are less than a minute away from being killed."

"Hahaha, I'm a ghoul!" Tonos replied with wanton laughter, "I'm an undead creature that feeds on corpses and fear, why do you think I'll seek refuge with you?
"Don't dream, from the moment I became an undead creature, I was the enemy of mankind. There is no possibility of coexistence between us.

"The meaning of my existence is to tear you apart, devour you, and use your despair and fear to please the undead emperor.

"Why, don't you understand? Then let me make it clear that everything that human beings cherish, warmth, love, and memories are worthless to me. I am not afraid of death at all. The transformation from me to an undead creature From that moment on, my existence has determined my consciousness.

"Come on, blond girl, you haven't killed me yet."

The ghoul climbed up with nearly broken limbs and rushed towards Amber.

……

The completely destroyed ghoul quickly withered, and even the bones and spine began to weather into ash-like powder.

A black crystal slowly precipitated from its spine, rippling with the pure luster of the night.

This is the Extraordinary characteristic of an Undead Path Sequence 7 "Gluttony".

Extraordinary people of the undead path have extraordinary vitality, and their self-healing ability is amazing, but like blood races, they need to consume a large amount of blood food as supplements.The defensive power of their bodies far exceeds the limit of human beings, and their skin and flesh are tougher, far exceeding the defensive effect of leather armor or chain armor.

High-level undead will even grow steel-like scales or bone armor, or wrap themselves in extremely thick carrion, forming an indestructible defense.Their existence can even change with it, giving rise to rare mutant abilities or possessing spellcaster-like abilities.

　There is only time for an update today, and tomorrow there will be a team battle between the two teams.
