Blood tax

Chapter 525 The Bizarre Adventure with Erza ([-])

"Hello, Griffith~"

Arundel sat on the barrel and greeted the knight.

Griffith moved forward, and the severe headache and dizziness almost made him fall to his knees.He gasped for breath, feeling his stomach was overwhelmed, his mouth was full of salty taste, mixed with gritty teeth.Even the scene in front of him was covered with a layer of faint blood red, twisting and shaking constantly.

He hurriedly checked himself, and found that the shield was cooling down, and there were several burns and punctures on the armor and body.

The volley blow just now caused huge damage while crushing Gratoni.

"Amber," Griffith trembled, "find her!"

"Don't worry, knight, my people have found her," Arendelle pointed to the shade behind her. "She was injured more than you, and she needs a little time to recover."

Hearing that his companion was not in danger, Griffith breathed a sigh of relief.

"The one who attacked us just now, could it be..."

"About this, you can surely guess it yourself!"

Alandelle jumped out of the barrel, took some potions and came over: "My team and I followed the traces of Erza's advance team and found an underground river that could bring the gunboat into this world. But the ship was destroyed , Materials are also thrown everywhere.

"We set up a camp here and launched an investigation. However, there is a powerful aura lingering nearby. Anyone who dares to approach will attract terrible thunder and lightning."

sounds like...

The situation is deteriorating in the worst, most undesirable direction.Griffith pressed his head, suppressing the ominous conjecture.

All in all, a detailed investigation is required before a conclusion can be drawn.

Griffith looked at Amber's condition and found that she was well cared for, but still in a coma.The Senate, the legion, the wizards, and the clansmen of Alandelle gathered together, each of them defended cautiously as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

These people are experienced and powerful veterans, and it is conceivable how dangerous it is to let them exist in such a panic.

"I need supplies and manpower. Without Amber, I don't have enough strength to deal with the monsters in this place," Griffith asked honestly, "Can you help me?"

"Me?" Alandelle pointed at herself and stared wide-eyed, "It's so dangerous here, I can't bear to be beaten!

"And I can't leave," Arendelle continued, "The Arcane Council has already contacted the wizards, and the demigod ordered me to set up a camp here, waiting for the arrival of support troops.

"We thought the Pyramid of the Sun on the ground was the center of troll civilization. In fact, it was just a door to the underground world. This underground world is the real mystery of the troll guard.

"Commodus has arrived here before the Senate, and his army on the ground is just a bait. Soon, he will bring an army of local trolls to attack this camp."

This kind of place?Griffith looked up at the towering rock walls and domes, a little incomprehensible: "This place is not where reinforcements will be able to arrive in a while.

"The waterway is a one-way street with no return journey, and the land route is also very remote and dangerous. It is impossible to gather an army in a few months."

"You don't know anything about the power of magic~" Miss Mermaid pulled his arm and walked towards the other side of the camp.There, Griffith found a group of wizards.They formed a circle and used the supplies at hand to set up a magic circle on the ground.

"This is a one-way summoning array.

"After Aaron's power was improved, the wizards gained a lot of new knowledge, and made great progress in the use of the portal," Alandelle explained, "Every team that enters the temple has extraordinary wizards who receive Once the task is completed, once a valuable target is determined, the demigod of the Southern Legion will be summoned immediately. In this way, as long as one investigation team completes the task, even if all other teams fail, it will not affect the overall situation.

"These great figures will set up positions on the spot and call here the psionic legion that has just been built recently. No matter the cost..."

Just as he was talking, the summoning array on the ground was already in operation.The bright light tore apart the space, creating a vortex of spiritual energy.Two powerful auras are echoing the wizard who summoned them.

The Sequence 4 paladin "Light of Destruction" Baldwin and the Sequence 4 clergyman "God's Punishment Officiant" Avignon will arrive here through the portal at any time.

The situation developed so suddenly that Griffith couldn't accept it.Too much intelligence exceeds the limit of personal ability and layout.

"I suggest you hurry up," Arundel tiptoed, urging softly in the hesitant Griffith's ear, "I didn't know in advance when you would come.

"However, just after we found some clues and started contacting the demigod, you appeared immediately! When I saw you, I was also very surprised. I have no way to contact you, just delay for a while, demigod Once they arrive, a single order will put you at the head of the entire army.

"Could it be a coincidence?"

Miss Mermaid tilted her head and looked at Griffith: "If anyone besides me has great expectations for you and believes that you will do something in this revolution that changes the world , then He must be a figure with hands and eyes reaching the sky.

"His vision covers every corner, watching the changes of the situation all the time; his power extends to the most reliable cronies of the Senate and the Arcane Council.

"Go, Griffith. There must be a reason why this great man is so zealous in providing you with convenience."

……

The jungles of the underworld are full of ferocious monsters and legendary creatures.They hunt, reproduce, and evolve here, and those who survive are tough and powerful species that are extremely adapted to the natural environment.

Griffith encountered a poisonous dragonfly, a monitor lizard that could turn people into petrification, and a bull with the "eye of death".The further he advances, the more deadly the danger becomes.He even saw some terrifying giant figures with nine heads in the depths of the swamp.

All kinds of monsters that only exist in the story occupy the underground world.Even an extraordinary person is vulnerable when faced with the attack of a powerful mythical creature, and is in danger of falling at any time.

The local aborigines, savage and ferocious trolls are more keen on bloody and cruel battles than their counterparts on the ground. Trauma and bloodshed will activate the craziest cells in their bodies to squeeze out the ultimate potential.

After Griffith was promoted to a war knight, due to the existence of the upper limit of human physique, his ability to resist blows and resilience did not further improve.However, he can wear strong armor and move at high speed for a long distance, and his resistance is strong enough to be immune to most spells, curses, and mantras, and he can also imprison or interrupt the singing process of many abilities.

Conviction and Death Coil also give him combat recovery.In addition to the powerful ice shield, shield, and already good physique, especially the fear resistance provided by the war knight to his teammates, he is no weaker than the full-time defensive saint in terms of personal defense and protecting teammates. knight.

Even so, even though he had already touched the threshold of Sequence Five "Conqueror", Griffith still felt unable to move forward.

If he is not careful, he will summon hordes of monsters to follow him.Layers of vines, mires and swamps are deadly traps.

A few hours after setting off, Griffith almost lost all his food and luggage, and wandered around in the jungle with only his most important weapons.

When he managed to get out of another vine, his vision suddenly widened.

The wet soil suddenly became dry and chapped, and the weeds turned yellow and lifeless.What's even more astonishing is that there are crackling electric currents and particles remaining in the air, and the sight is distorted. Obviously, even the air has changed under this terrifying power.

This force tore open a huge passage in the forest, as if a giant pushed a boulder all the way, destroying all life along the way.

This makes the movement a lot more convenient, but it also means that danger is imminent.

Griffith thought for a while, and then prepared to walk carefully along the border between the withered yellow land and the forest.

In the next second, there was an extremely dull cracking sound from a distance, as if the boots stepped on the cockroach, and it seemed that a skin bag full of dirty blood was crushed and sprayed out in the forest. The dirty black blood water that is higher than the treetops.

Before Griffith understood what was going on, a tyrannosaurus more than ten meters high suddenly rushed out of the dense forest.

The berserk beast ravaged all the way, and rushed towards Griffith's position.

Griffith hastily took a javelin in his hand and aimed it at the eye socket of the giant beast.Just when he was about to throw it with all his strength, the tyrannosaurus suddenly tilted and smashed to the ground, and there was no more movement.

Griffith stepped forward to check, and found that this creature was powerful enough to contend with the Transcendent.However, there were several shocking wounds on the hard armor and thick skin of the tyrannosaur, which was strong enough to withstand the siege crossbow, and even the internal bones and internal organs were smashed.

Griffith weighed the strength of himself and the tyrannosaur, looked at the strong scales and unstoppable power, and then evaluated his fighting power against a piece of chestnut cake, and then, without hesitation, he went straight into the woods!
At this time, two auras shot up into the sky, and they became extremely terrifying and frightening in an instant.In front of this breath, the Tyrannosaurus that just fell was as innocent and weak as an unlucky passerby.

Griffith felt his teeth chattering.He went around in a big circle, prepared all the means of escape, and finally touched the vicinity of the two breaths.

The first thing he saw was—

Commodus held the holy sword in his hand and stood tall. There was an explosive and terrifying power in his tall and straight body, which radiated brilliance all the time, as if he wanted to conquer all the rivers, lightning, mountains and valleys of nature, and fight against the gods. .Just standing there, it seems that everyone, even the whole world, revolves around him.

Commodus didn't notice Griffith approaching.His full attention is projected in mid-air.

"Since you are rushing to die! Then this king will show you mercy," Kang Maode whispered, "The holy sword Enduil will cleanse the world until it is pure eternity."

Dark clouds swirled in the sky, thunder rolled, and a pair of huge snow-white wings spread out on its bare back.Dazzling light and pure white mist surrounded a woman with an astonishing appearance like a robe and skirt.

She held lightning in her hand, and her flying red hair was hotter than the flames, but there was no emotion in her eyes, as if she was a manifestation of divine will, which made people dare not look up.

Erza Valkyrie had unfurled her mythical bioform, The Liberator, and clutched a beam of light in her immaculate hand, hurling it downward.
