Chapter 52: The Dying Struggle
However, looking at the crow hag's short wings, they don't seem to be able to generate enough lift. Ivan can only guess that this should be the effect of some kind of innate magic-like ability.
tread
They were at least thirty meters away from the four of Aiwen before they landed on the treetops. Even if they turned into monsters, the instinct of magicians to keep distance was obviously still there.
The two crow hags were also deeply impressed by the crow people who had been tracking their sisters since Frostleaf Grove. Although they looked like the same kind, they were actually "demons" who wanted to kill them all the time.
On their own territory, "new and old grudges" gather together, and the crow hag is of course not polite, and naturally greets them with 120,000 points of "enthusiasm"!
quack!
After letting out two strange screams from his mouth.
The army of crows that had been hovering above everyone's heads like thick clouds instantly poured down like a flood, rushing towards Alvin and the arakkoa team who were launching an assault regardless of casualties.
In the presence of their masters, these crows are even more fearless and unafraid of death. Even two extra-large crows risk being killed by heavy blows and swoop down from time to time, frantically mourning them!
The battle is heating up again.
At this time, Alvin and the Crow people had completely different coping strategies. Alvin danced the long sword in his hand into a ball of silver light to protect himself first, and then asked to kill the enemy.
However, the three arakkoa relied on their airtight equipment to ignore the attacks of ordinary crows. They formed a formation with muskets and shouted "Long live the queen!" and rushed directly towards the crow hag behind them.
"That's too reckless!" Although he complained in his heart, Alvin could only follow the crow's frenzy.
Only then did Ivan realize that, unlike himself, who paused from time to time, these arakkoa seemed to have a high resistance to the demonized crow's desperate attacks, and their charging movements hardly showed any stagnation. They were indeed professionals.
I thought that I had discovered a shortcoming this time, and I would have to find a way to make up for it in the future.
Just halfway through the charge, the crow hag, who was obviously not a vase or decoration, launched an attack under the cover of the crows.
boom
A black clay pot was thrown over and exploded instantly, and a large green thick fog quickly spread.
When Aiwen dodged and flew back, the three arakkoa people ignored him and rushed in without any change in pace.
As mentioned before, many low-level wild wizards do not have many fighting methods, and brewing all kinds of poisons is a highly cost-effective reserved item. This is also one of the original intentions of the arakkoa troops uniformly equipped with beak masks.
Seeing the two parties separated by the poisonous mist, the two crow hags laughed strangely and flew towards Ivan at the same time, obviously treating him as a soft persimmon.
boom
boom
Two gunshots were heard in the green mist. It was obvious that the Crow people found something was wrong and wanted to provide remote support, but the effect was not good.
With the poisonous mist blocking their sight, the gliding crow hags were far from being easily hit by sporadic muskets, and were easily dodged by them.
Not daring to put himself under siege and no longer caring about the Crow Man team, Ivan also jumped onto the treetops and took advantage of his agility. He dodges as fast as a flexible ape, which is even faster than the crow hag gliding in the air.
Not slow at all.
With the same instinct to avoid the poisonous mist, the density of crows was obviously reduced a lot, and Ivan was finally able to fully utilize his speed advantage.
"Two ugly monsters, come with me!"
Whoosh
One in front and two behind, three figures jumped and flew on the treetops.
Alvin always kept a safe distance and was on guard against their spiritual witchcraft. Then he took a cold shot and knocked down the last two surviving demonized crows, making the crow hag hate him even more.
The strange screams became more and more rapid.
He led them in a big circle and unknowingly returned to the place where the poisonous mist was first released, which was also where the arakkoa team stayed.
Ivan believes that since the crow people's goal is these crow hags, they must have their own trump card. He has created opportunities for them, so he shouldn't be unable to seize them, right?
Just when I thought of this, a premonition of danger suddenly came over me like a pinprick.
"Be careful of bombs!" A loud shout rang in Alvin's ears.
A flaming object in the corner of his eye was already running towards the two crow hags behind him. Recognizing what it was, Ivan cursed secretly and flew from the treetop to the ground.
Just hid behind a tree trunk.
Boom!!!
A loud thunderous sound mixed with dazzling firelight resounded through the forest, and then countless branches and leaf fragments fell down. Although he was still some distance away from Aiwen, his ears were still buzzing from the shock, and his body was covered with dust.
Soil branches and leaves.
"Bah, bah, bah"
Ever since he saw an alchemical bomb that was far more powerful than ordinary black powder on the Silver Wing, he knew that there must be a miniaturized version of this thing, but he didn't expect that he would encounter it today.
The two monsters should be finished now, right?
Ivan peeked his head out of his hiding place and realized that he was happy a little too early.
While she was aware of the danger, the two crow hags were not slow to react at all. The crows who had been guarding them as wings once again showed their spirit of sacrifice. They used their bodies to form a barrier and successfully blocked the most deadly shrapnel of the alchemy bomb.
Kill.
The two crow hags were just blown away by the aftermath of the bomb, fell to the ground far apart, and are now slowly getting up, shaking their heads.
The arakkoa team had already rushed towards one of the crow hags.
Without saying a word, Ivan also rushed out, targeting the crow hag on the other side. He didn't care that the crow team almost accidentally injured himself just now, because the final moment of this battle had come.
Behind him, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" musket shooting could be heard. Not to be outdone, Aiwen accelerated his steps and fired first.
In order to prevent the miserable-looking crow hag from resisting, Ivan drew his gun and fired from five steps away. At this distance, he was confident that it would be impossible to miss her.
boom
After the gunshot, the crow hag still opened her withered mouth full of yellow teeth, as if she was mocking silently, but the lead bullets had already flown to nowhere.
This crow hag is obviously much stronger than the one he killed at the beginning, and at this time, it can still mislead Alvin's senses.
"Hey, dying struggle!"
Ai Wen was as quick as a cheetah. He held a long sword that turned into a gust of wind and pounced on it. After slashing the air with two lightning-like swords, a sharp cold light flew past its neck with precision.
Clang
Plop!
After taking two steps back, he shook off the dark red blood stains and put the sword back into its sheath.
If a formal knight like Ivan is allowed to get close, the outcome is already doomed. The crow hag has already settled her account without even using the means to press the bottom of the box.
Looking at the corpse of the monster lying on the ground, Ivan felt a little itchy. It was impossible for him to not touch the corpse when he met the legal profession in the future. It would be too wasteful. Moreover, he remembered the description of the crow hag in Leon's notes, which should not be
