Crimson Servant

Chapter 29 The stubborn elder

The owner of the song did not keep the people waiting for too long.

From the side of the huge spherical core, a six-foot-tall steel golem appeared in the field of vision of several people. Its metal limbs walked gracefully and jumped in strange dance steps, making an accent of "bump, bump" on the ground.

Jenny XII has a body that is more delicate and thicker than other dolls. The mithril shell has beautiful curves. She has a head in the shape of a female statue with coiled hair, and two counter-rotating gear rings on the top of her head. As the gears rotated, her body also made crisp sounds, and Jenny XII continued to dance to the beat of her own drum.

The dried blood on the steel doll's raised arms, the toes touching the ground, and the edge of the saw wheel that served as the hem of the skirt were as black as gauze. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of misfortune the adventurers who faced her suffered. The killing machine danced and sang the dark song.

Jenny XII will stop next to the stationary dolls, adjust the posture of these toys, unscrew the nuts, open the lids, observe the decaying contents, then close them and move on to the next one.

The Suns' sneak was not exposed, which gave them an opportunity to attack first.

"Jurgen, water creation." John whispered to the druid.

Crack! In the palm of the warlock's hand, the beating white lightning became more intense with the support of spells and magic power, and the dangerous arc twisted shape was like a mob about to escape.

If Jenny XII felt something, she turned her head 180 degrees, stopped singing, and shifted her cold gaze to the warlock.

"Intruder!"

A basin of rain fell on the head, and the clear and transparent liquid splashed on Jenny XII and her doll, forming a wet liquid surface on the ground.

"Iron golems usually have anti-lightning enchantments."

"I know, but that doesn't mean it's insulated."

【Chain Lightning】

The burst of lightning bombarded the body of the demon doll, and the moist air made the lightning bounce more wildly. Jenny XII screamed in pain like a human being. Lightning surged around her limbs, and then swallowed the stationary dolls.

The golem let out a high-pitched scream with that beautiful voice, her upper body spinning uncontrollably, and the hands holding her head seemed to be trying to twist her head off. The witchcraft lightning disappeared in a flash, leaving superficial scorch marks. Jenny XII recovered from the trembling, swung her body and walked quickly towards the platform where John was.

She's going to jump up. When everyone realized this, they also found that they could not stop it. Jumping from a ten-foot-high platform might be easy for the golem. John and Lightning tried to evade, but if the jump of the several hundred kilogram doll fell on their thin body bones, their adventure would be over.

When everyone was afraid of the advancing female sculpture face, one person suddenly jumped down and faced the tall demon doll head-on like a falling meteorite.

"what!!!!!"

The holy sword stabbed Jenny XII, Karl roared, and fell to the ground together with the devil.

Carl was the only one who fell.

Jenny XII adjusted her posture in the air, and used her left hand to stab Karl who was close at hand. The Paladin quickly dodged, and the original attack also deformed during the dodge. The sword edge made an oblique scratch on the puppet's face. cause some damages.

Karl rolled a few times on the ground. Jenny XII used her inhuman body structure to quickly twist in mid-air and landed as lightly as a cat. Before Karl could adjust his posture, he pounced again.

A strong black shadow suddenly covered the demon doll's body, and its sharp teeth bit into the demon doll's arm. The sound of metal parts deforming blocked Jenny XII's charge.

The golem's iron fist hit the beast's belly, and the bombardment made Jurgen, who had transformed into a big cat, couldn't help but howl. He released his teeth, jumped back to the open space four feet away, and faced Jenny XII in a hunter's posture.

The dwarf druid felt like he was about to vomit in pain, and his intestines seemed to be knotted. The full blow of the lord monster was not so easy to withstand. But the paladin boy had to take the time to get up. He had to hold on and put on a brutal look, but in fact it was almost the same. The wild fury of injury was burning in his stomach.

The Paladin finally stood up, and Karl felt the heat rising up, his body burning, especially his lower back. It seemed that he had not completely avoided the previous blow. In front of Jenny XII's adamantine fingers, his armor seemed to be made of paper.

Maybe the two of them were not enough to fight against Jenny XII, and at least they had some disadvantages, Karl thought to himself.

"Servants! Deal with the intruders!" Jenny XII screamed loudly, and red light appeared in the eyes of the statues that were originally in weird postures, and they were obviously starting up.

The violent lightning fell again, bouncing among the gathered puppets. The puppets that had not yet been activated were damaged again, and were completely paralyzed after the lightning fired a few arrows. Only two fish that slipped through the net heard Jenny XII's call, and the activated puppets moved closer to Karl and the others.

Lightning took a breath and calmly aimed at the enemy approaching his companions, waiting for the moment they separated.

John stared at the paladin and panther who were fighting under the platform with a dark face.

"There are such obvious signs that we have to fight in close quarters. I really want to kill you all." John gave up on releasing lightning spells. The excellent conductivity of those mechanical golems can easily lead the current to his companions, which is no doubt for them who are trapped. It's adding insult to injury.

The structure is immune to poison, and its fire resistance and physical resistance are also excellent. The effects of frost spells vary from machine to machine. It can be said that after Karl gets close to the enemy, John has few spells that are useful. Excluding Veltis spells, Crimson spells have always been useful. Karl pushed the shield upward slightly, and his body retreated from Jenny XII's attack. Using the force, he turned sideways and swung his sword straight through the body of an ordinary doll. The same feeling of piercing flesh and blood made the Paladin's eyes freeze, and the holy light flames bursting from the sword's blade ignited the doll. Another doll took advantage of the emptiness of Karl's attack and raised its sword to stab Karl in the back.

The paladin heard the news, and he prayed more carefully, guiding his divine power to destroy the evil creation in front of him. It’s not about being reckless, it’s about trusting your teammates.

The arrow deflected the puppet's attack trajectory, and a black panther immediately sprang out from the side and killed the second puppet. The tensed muscles under the big cat's fur pressed dents into the metal skin of the doll, and Jurgen opened his huge mouth and bit into the doll's head.

"Ugh~" The big cat immediately spit out the contents of its mouth. Under the torn iron sheet was stinking rotten flesh. Jurgen covered his nose with his paws, temporarily losing his fighting ability.

Dealing with the two bastards in an instant, the paladin puffed out his chest, pointed his sword at Jenny XII, and stood proudly, forgetting that he was hit in the air by the demon a few seconds ago.

"Devil! Remember my name, the person who killed you is Carl Demiras! Warrior of the Sun Mithras, son of Qadian!" After saying that, the paladin rushed forward.

Jurgen secretly thought that it was not good, and regardless of the strangeness of his body, he moved his paws and followed closely.

Jenny XII seemed to be intimidated by the Paladin's momentum, and showed no reaction to his charge.

The paladin should have been on guard, but with the hot blood rushing into his brain and only wanting to practice the Holy Light to punish rape and eliminate evil, he forgot about everything else.

  The strange sound under his feet made it difficult for Karl to move forward. He noticed that Jenny XII was standing three feet away from the energy core. She stood there deliberately and led herself to a path that she had never set foot on.

Karl now understood who set those hidden traps in the second outer ring.

An iron fist suddenly approached, and Karl, who was unable to move, could only raise his shield to block. The fist hit him like a battering ram. Karl felt as if his body was torn to pieces, his internal organs were wailing, two finger bones were broken, and his shield was knocked away. Blood dripped on the ground in front of him, and his body was as soft as cotton.

The vision in front of him began to blur, and suddenly, a bright light seemed to light up in front of him, as dazzling as the first time he was inspired by Mithras.

"Stop her! Lightning!"

Lightning had no time to answer, and fired a rapid succession of arrows at Jenny XII.

The arakkoa's blocking was somewhat effective, but an order made the situation take a turn for the worse.

"Archers! Attack!"

Suddenly, hidden arcane guards popped up from the surrounding high platforms. These magic crossbows had already been secretly charged, and the attack direction was focused on one point.

Paladin Carl Demeras.

"Viltis..." John put down the palm of his hand that was used to cast spells. It was too late. Even the crimson spell couldn't move faster.

In this sigh, the man almost passed the light.

It was an elongated shadow, and the rough movements showed that the master was angry, but he still passed over the weak paladin gently, blocking the light with his stone-like body.

The explosion exploded in Carl's face.

The shock wave caused tinnitus in the ears, and noise rushed into his brain. The paladin lying on the ground raised his upper body, covered his head and got up with difficulty.

Where is this? What am I doing? The trance disappeared, and Karl saw the lightning dancing with the dagger and Jenny XII struggling to fight.

There was also the bloody dwarf curled up in a pool of blood. The memory came back to his mind in a painful way that burned his soul.

"Ah...ah!!!!!!!!!"

Tears fell unconsciously, and Karl felt like he had fallen into the flames, and the burning pain was heartbreaking.

Is this the shame of defeat, is this physical pain, is this the punishment for breaking an oath...

Karl couldn't tell.

With his body bathed in flames and holding the flaming heirloom sword in his hand, the furious paladin charged at his enemy like a wild beast.
