However, Neville no longer had time to worry about what was wrong with the [Deformed Puppet]. At this time, these strange alien-like monsters launched a new round of attack on the [Exorcism Book].
The slender limbs of the [Deformed Puppet] look weak and weak, and of course this is indeed the case. Many of them have their arms cut off, probably due to the battle with Harry and the others.
However, in addition to using ordinary physical attacks, [Distortion Puppet] also has another combat mode that is even more eye-catching.
I saw a [Deformed Puppet] that had lost its upper limbs and rushed to the [Exorcism Book] desperately. It screamed loudly, and then it suddenly started to discharge electricity.
The shining electric light instantly enveloped a three-meter-wide space. Harry next to it was about to slash forward with a sword when he was knocked away by the current. The HP of [Exorcism Book] was also shortened again.
A small piece.
But this attack still did not stop, and several other [distortion puppets] around them rushed towards the center as if they were desperate for their lives.
Some were blocked by Ron and Hermione, but more [Deformed Puppet] still successfully launched attacks on [Exorcism Book].
At the same time, after releasing an electric shock, the [Distortion Puppet] turned around and rushed out. Then it began to twitch continuously, its body continued to flash with electric light, and at the same time, afterimages emerged.
Seeing that the enemies were about to start a new round of division, Hermione had no choice but to move forward, found a relatively good angle, and cast Purifying Flash on the two [Aberration Puppet].
The [Distortion Puppet] struck by the beam instantly turned into powder, but the remaining enemies still successfully completed the split.
Suddenly, the number of [Deformed Puppet] besieging the [Exorcist Book] increased from 5 to 10.
In fact, there should have been 8 of them when they attacked, but one of them had been killed by Harry and Ron together before, and two more had just been killed by Hermione.
But the few people who had been beaten up by eight [Deformed Puppets] were in agony when they saw the number of enemies increased to ten, and their hearts were suddenly filled with despair.
It is absolutely not possible to continue like this. Although the individual strength of these [distorted puppets] is not as exaggerated as other elite demons, it cannot be solved in a short time.
If it continues to be delayed and the [Deformed Puppet] continues to split, the number of people will only become more and more!
And this is what Neville saw after returning to the core area.
Seeing this situation, Neville hesitated too much and quickly smeared holy water on the [Heaven Halberd] while forcing himself to calm down. He must find the weaknesses of these enemies as soon as possible, otherwise even if he returns to join the battle, he may not be able to keep up with the speed of the enemy's division.
.
The other three little wizards who had been guarding the "Exorcist Book" did not work hard. They saw that under their violent attack, another "Deformed Puppet" was killed together.
But when they turned around and saw the other 9 elite demons who were ready to attack, several of them felt bitter in their hearts. There was no way they could kill all these disgusting things. Before they could finish two of them, the rest
Doubled again!
"strangeness!"
Neville, who was observing carefully from the side, suddenly discovered something strange. The splitting ability of those [distorted puppets] seemed to be a simple splitting, and did not have recovery properties.
For example, the [Deformed Puppet] that was the first to rush towards the [Exorcism Book] had all its upper limbs broken. After splitting, not only did the injuries remain the same as before, but the other [Deformed Puppet] that split also had no injuries.
The condition of the upper limbs.
"I know!" Neville's eyes lit up, and then he immediately shouted to the three people guarding the center, "Don't just think about killing them and attacking the demons' lower bodies. As long as you limit their movement ability, you won't be afraid of them coming again.
Split!"
After being reminded by Neville, the three people who were fighting fiercely reacted immediately.
Indeed! These [Deformed Puppet] seem to have split bodies, which are exactly the same as the original body. There is no need to kill them all. As long as their lower limbs are cut off, they can prevent them from harming the exorcism book!
After finally figuring out the key, Harry, Ron and Hermione immediately changed their offensive and just slashed at the legs of the [Deformed Puppet]. After killing one of them, they didn't even think about finishing the attack, and directly turned their spearheads to attack the others.
【Distorted Puppet】.
To be honest, the three of them were really fooled by these [distorted puppets] that suddenly appeared before. When these enemies rushed forward, there were only 4 of them, but as a result, there were 8 of them. They were patronizing
He was so frightened that he had no time to observe and understand his opponent carefully.
Fortunately, Neville, who returned, re-examined the battlefield from a third party's perspective and discovered the weakness of the [Deformed Puppet].
After changing tactics, the effect is really immediate. A single [Deformed Puppet] is indeed very difficult to kill due to its rough skin and thick flesh, but their limbs are as fragile as sugar cane. Even the green-quality machete in Hermione's hand can't be killed.
It can be cut off easily.
With Neville's help, within a short while the five [Deformed Puppet] were cut into human sticks. Unfortunately, the remaining four enemies took the opportunity to attack the [Exorcism Book].
harm.
During the subsequent splitting process of [Distorted Puppet], those enemies who lost their limbs and fell to the ground would have their clones appear also without limbs after splitting.
At this time, the group of four simply ignored the [Distorted Puppet] lying on the ground and instead attacked those enemies who could still move.
Not long after, the original nine lively [distorted puppets], after a new round of division, turned into 18 weird human sticks that could only scream on the ground.
"Finally..." Ron breathed heavily, "It's really not easy. These ugly monsters are too difficult to deal with."
"Fortunately, Neville warned him in time, otherwise we would have faced a steady stream of elite demons." Harry gave Neville a grateful look. They were really frightened just now.
"Stop whining here!" Hermione on the side no longer had the image of a lady before. The dirty blood stained her like a perverted murderer. At this time, she looked at her tensely.
Everyone roared, "Neville, Harry, you two are responsible for finishing these [Aberration Puppet]. Ron and I will block the other demon servants. I don't want to see monsters that can discharge electricity everywhere."
After Hermione yelled like this, everyone quickly got busy. It was indeed what she said. They were just destroying the [distorted puppets] now, and it was not like they would not continue to divide.
If it is left unaddressed, soon everyone may not even have a place to stay.
And it is much easier to completely kill these motionless [distorted puppets] than to fight against the perfect ones.
But no matter how fast they lasted, the [Aberration Puppet] were still dividing continuously. After a few people killed a group, they would find a lot more popping up.
In the end, they had to ask Ron to join in to help, but even so, it still took more than a minute to clear away the enemies everywhere.
So far, only 6 minutes of the defensive battle have passed, but the HP of [Exorcism Book] has dropped to only 2,000 points, only 40% of the full body.
At the same time, everyone's condition was also very poor, their fear values exceeded 50%, and all the skills in their hands were basically on cooldown.
The only good news is that in the continuous battle, their shield values have been transformed by [Holy Water], and they are all close to full value. In addition, Snape has finally eliminated [Evil General].
.
Seeing that all the elite demons had been wiped out, and only a few sparse demon servants were left in front of them, the foursome could breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems that our efficiency is good. The fourth stage has just passed halfway, and we have solved the biggest threat!" After Ron cut off the head of a demon servant, he smiled at the others with a slight smile.
.
"Don't be too happy too early. No one can tell whether other dangers will arise next." Hermione muttered with an angry look. She was already so tired that she was about to lose strength, and the wand in her hand was even stained.
The sticky blood stains made Hermione, who always loved cleanliness, feel extremely bad.
suddenly!
Just after she complained, the scene around her changed again.
At this time, the originally ferocious and crazy demon servants in the battlefield suddenly froze for some reason, as if they were under a petrification spell, or as if they were in a science fiction movie with the pause button pressed.
These demon servants did not freeze for too long. The next moment they froze, masses of red and black mist surged out of their mouths and noses, and then went straight down into the ground, as if there was a giant machine under their feet.
The high-power exhaust fan is running.
At the same time, not only the living demon servants, but also the bodies of the dead demons began to emit black smoke, and all these smoke-like magic flows poured into the ground.
After a while, all the demons within a few hundred radius, whether alive or dead, turned into wisps of debris and dissipated in the air. At first glance, it looked as if no battle had ever occurred here.
Such a strange sight made Harry and the others swallow their saliva. Although they didn't know what exactly happened, they also knew that it probably meant something bad.
"You crow's mouth!" Ron on the side was still in the mood to complain to Hermione, "You are really right, it seems that something terrible is about to appear!"
"Shut up and be careful, you idiot!" Hermione was already in a very bad mood, and now she was even more anxious. She was even more rude when she attacked Ron.
But before the two could exchange a few words, new changes occurred on the battlefield.
The first thing that began to mutate was the sky above them. The swirling clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the moon hidden behind.
But at this time, the full moon was completely different from what everyone had seen before. The originally pale silver moon had been dyed red at some point. If you look carefully, you can still see wisps of black threads like cracks in it.
It's like a red eyeball with no pupils and covered with black threads.
The moment the blood moon appeared, everyone present felt their hearts tighten, and the surrounding air was also terrifyingly silent, as if someone had tightly grasped their hearts and covered their mouths and noses.
Such a terrifying scene made everyone forget that they were actually in a copy at this time. The too real scene gave people the most real fear in their hearts.
They won't be killed, right?
Even Snape, who was not far away, frowned at this moment, because the scene in front of him was too real, and the suffocating pressure was not false.
This made him a little unsure for a moment whether this world was created by Anduin.
Did Quirrell use some means to take over this dungeon? Or maybe it was actually a special area in itself, and Anduin just made some slight modifications to use it. What happened as a result?
And just when everyone was thinking about it, a violent vibration suddenly erupted from the soles of their feet.
Just when a few people thought there was an earthquake here, a large hole opened in the land not far from them, and then a pool of black mud spewed out.
After a while, a large area in front of them turned into a quagmire, and before a few people could be curious, a huge hand poked out from it!
This palm looks like the claws of a giant dragon, and its surface is covered with some metal-like scales, or armor, because if you can identify it with the naked eye, you can see that it is not naturally formed.
As the big hand grasped the edge of the quagmire and struggled to push it up, the owner of the palm finally appeared in front of everyone.
This is a terrifying giant that is nearly 10 meters tall, and its appearance is somewhat similar to the image of a demon in literature from the Western world.
The lower limbs have recurved joints like beasts, are wearing armor, have a human-like torso, and have huge claws that are sharper than dragons and eagles. They have human-like facial features, but are topped by a head with two huge goat horns.
And after this guy with a terrifying size appeared, what shocked the four Harrys even more was that he looked... seemingly... not like a copy product.
Because in their eyes, there is no specific title displayed on the top of the other person's head.
You must know that after entering this dungeon, no matter how disgusting the shapes of those monsters are, there will be at least a voice in their hearts telling themselves that these are all fake, because they can see each other's names and health bars through the goggles.
.
But this monster in front of me actually has nothing, only the bursts of coercion it exudes are truly terrifying!
Snape, who didn't have any goggles next to him, was also a little scared, because his keen sense of magic told him that the big guy in front of him was completely different from all the enemies he had encountered before.
As far as the energy contained in the opponent's body is concerned, let alone a young wizard, a dozen adult wizards would probably be no match for him.
"Well!"
When everyone at the scene was constantly frightened by the appearance of this enemy, the opponent suddenly opened his eyes and groaned slightly lazily.
