Chapter 87 An unexpected surprise
The Horror is a creature that looks like a dragon but not a dragon. It looks similar to a dragon, with a pair of wings, two feet, a lizard-like body and a tail. But the Terror Beast is not actually a dragon. It is more like a species that is mixed with the corpses of various animals and then recreated using necromancy.
Of course, although it is not a dragon, it also has considerable power. With a roar, the Horror Beast descended from the sky and rushed towards Duanmu Huai and the metal secret dragon under him. The two claws hit the Metal Mystic Dragon hard, causing the Metal Mystic Dragon to shudder suddenly - but the eggs still did not cause any damage to it.
At the same time, Duanmu Huai also raised his thunder hammer.
At this moment, [Victory with less] + [Rage] + [Psychic Battle] are all activated!
[Victory with less: +60% melee damage when surrounded]
[Rage: Gain 1% critical hit chance and strength bonus for each kill, lasting 5 seconds (+150% critical hit chance and attack damage)]
[Psychic Battle: Each point of subspace heat will increase weapon attack damage by 1% (+60% weapon attack damage)]
"Drink ah ah ah ah!!!"
Duanmuhuai roared angrily and swung his war hammer at the Terror Beast's head. In just an instant, 270% of the attack damage exploded! !
"Bang!!"
As the thunderous war hammer hit the Terror Beast's head hard, the undead beast's head exploded like a balloon in the next moment. Not only that, at the same time, its corrupt, ugly, huge body also began to expand!
[Thunder Hammer: +15% chance to cause enemies to explode after being killed, while causing area damage equal to 50% of their health (can be superimposed)]
"Boom——————!!!"
Although we don’t know how much health the Horror Beast has, the explosion from this blow swept away almost everything around it. The crazy air flow mixed with the Horror Beast’s putrid blood and debris roared away, instantly destroying the surrounding skeletons. The soldiers and the zombie army all swept to the ground.
Even Manfred had no idea that the Terror Beast, which he had high hopes for, would be wiped out in an instant, which also surprised him. Although he didn't know what method the other party used, Manfred had already made a decision at this moment.
That means.........Run! !
As a vampire count, Manfred has rich experience in this area. He is not one of those idiots who has lost his brain. Seeing that the situation is not good, running away immediately is the best choice. So without saying a word, Manfred almost instantly turned into a large group of bats and flew quickly into the air.
Want to run? !
At this time, Duanmuhuai also came to his senses and discovered Manfred's attempt to escape. Although the explosion of the Terror Beast wiped out the surrounding undead army, it also made Duanmu Huai's reaction a beat slower. When he noticed that the bald man was about to escape, the opponent had already turned into a large group of bats and flew towards the night sky.
However, of course Duanmuhuai will not let go of the guy who attacked him!
"Drink!!"
Following Duanmu Huai's thought, he saw the folded wings on both sides of the Metal Mystic Dragon suddenly unfolding, and then with a strong wave, he saw the Metal Mystic Dragon leaping high and flying towards the bats in the air. At the same time, Duanmu Huai raised the war hammer high again and swung it hard!
Soul flame!
Hot white flames erupted from Duanmu Huai's body, followed the war hammer in Duanmu Huai's hand, and shrouded the bats in front like the flames of a flamethrower. Soon, white flames were seen surging out like a tide, covering most of the bat group.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
Along with the shrill screams, a large number of bats turned into pitch-black charcoal under the burning of soul flames, but a small number of bats still escaped from Duanmuhuai's attack range and desperately disappeared into the night in the distance.
"Cut."
Duanmu Huai was also a little unhappy when he saw the other party escaping. Unfortunately, his own psychic attack ability is not very good - as expected, he still needs the help of a magician.
It's a pity that Duanmuhuai didn't find any clues related to the Magic Kingdom of Manalia in Mordheim before. Now he can only hope to gain something in Altdorf. If no clues are found, Duanmuhuai will really have a headache.
However, just when Duanmuhuai returned to the ground, suddenly, the system reacted again.
[Sacred object signal detected, locked]
"Holy object?"
Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised when he saw the system prompt. He remembered that he hadn't seen any holy objects just now. Where did this come from?
Following the system prompts, Duanmu Huai searched for a while, and then discovered that a dark, green dagger that didn't look like a good thing had fallen on the ground not far away. If the system hadn't prompted the location to be locked, Duanmu Huai probably wouldn't have been able to discover the dagger.
"What is this?"
Duanmuhuai curiously picked up the dagger on the ground, and soon, a system prompt appeared in front of his eyes.
[Obtained the sacred object "Fallen Blade"]
"Corrupted Blade?"
Looking at the system information in front of him, Duanmu Huai scratched his head, but still put the dagger away. If Duanmu Huai guessed correctly, this sacred object should have originally belonged to the bald man just now, but he was too hasty when he ran away, and ended up falling out and being picked up by himself.
In fact, Duanmu Huai's guess was not wrong. This fallen blade was also one of the artifacts used by Manfred to try to resurrect the necromancer Nagash, and it also had a very special origin - the former Nagash cooperated with the Skaven for a period of time. Nagash used necromancy to summon an army of undead to mine warpstone and trade with the Skaven. But later, the Skaven became aware of Nagash's ambitious plan to turn the entire world into a world of death.
Naturally, the rat men were not happy about this. Although they were not good things, they were still life. Naturally, they didn't want to see this world become a place of death, so they used dimensional stones to cast this fallen blade, and convinced one of Nagash's subordinates to take advantage of Nagash to release a large summoning spell. When he was extremely weak, he let him kill Nagash with his own hands with this corrupted blade and cut him into pieces.
So from a certain perspective, Rat Man even saved the world once.
But no matter what, once this thing is in Duanmuhuai's hands, it means that it can never be used to resurrect an unlucky necromancer. Duanmu Huai has decided to find time to return to the space station, then decompose it into building points, and then create a void force... It's time to let the barbarians in this world taste the justice called firepower.
When Duanmuhuai returned to the convoy again, the battle was over. Since the instigator had fled, the undead army without the blessing of necromancy magic was naturally wiped out. Fortunately, because Duanmu Huai moved quickly enough, there were not many casualties among the soldiers guarding the transport convoy. As for Ogis and others, they were also safe and sound.
Except for Fia, who disobeyed orders and ran out to die three times before settling down.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have the right cards in her hand, Duanmu Huai would have wanted to take the cards back from her.
Anyway, after that, everyone took a short rest and then continued to set off.
Finally, they came to Reikland, the center of the empire and the location of the country's royal city.
Altdorf is already close at hand.
