The elite manticore couldn't help raising its neck and hissing sadly.
The violent elemental flames raged around it, burning its flesh and blood. The hair on its body disappeared instantly, and the exposed skin was covered with large and small blisters. Every time it exploded, there was a splash.
Thick blood oozes out.
This elite manticore, which had only completed one attack, spread its wings in panic and exited the cave entrance area, running into the depths of the smoke where no one could see, but the painful and shrill wails could still be heard from afar.
Very hurt!
Really hurt!
Although the blow just now could not save its life, it still caused pain to its bones, and it was impossible to regain its fighting power in a short time.
Taking advantage of the brief gap in the battle, the Howler frantically absorbed earth elements from under his feet, compressed them and condensed them into solid stones to repair his damaged body. Greem also shot several lava fireballs one after another, covering the area near the cave entrance.
It exploded into a sea of fire, trying to buy time for the growler to repair.
But the enemy's next attack came quickly.
This time it was no longer a self-inflicted flying collision, but two adult manticores flapping their bat wings, spreading the swirling flames, clinging to the smooth stone wall and desperately attacking the growler.
Due to the limited location of the hole, they cannot open and close as quickly as they usually do, but with their sharp claws and terrifying fangs, they still pose a considerable threat.
As for the attacks that Greem and the Decayers desperately created from behind, they had no choice but to rely on their protective force fields and strong bodies to withstand the attacks when they had no way to hide.
In their violent and ferocious attacks, the rock armor outside the growler's body would be scarred by bites and scratches almost as soon as it was repaired. And the roarer's rock body composed of many stones, the entire front was also terrible, everywhere
There are horrible cracks and penetrating claw marks.
The quality of the elemental crystal core used to create the Growler is still a bit low. Facing this group of manticores with equally strong physique and strength, it still seems a little inadequate.
This is also due to the fact that the Growler has good group control skills. Every once in a while, it can launch an 'Earthquake' to interrupt the attack rhythm of the Manticores and give itself time to recover. And it releases
The rock armor can significantly enhance his defense, which is why he has been able to deal with these manticores for such a long time.
If he were replaced by a rotten one, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for three to five minutes before he would be beaten to death by the opponent!
But even so, when the two manticores retired with scars and were replaced by two new manticores, the growler could no longer resist.
Its newly condensed rock blocks were smashed, the summoned rock armor was scratched and exploded, and even its rock body was riddled with holes, and its core was about to lose its core.
If the growler is allowed to be destroyed by the manticores, it will be very difficult to continue to block the enemy!
As a last resort, Greem could only ask the growler to retreat temporarily and make full efforts to repair it. While he strode forward to block the way of the two manticores, his body expanded rapidly.
Without hesitation, Greem used the Balrog transformation, but he did not unseal the Balrog's heart.
The appearance of the powerful Balrog undoubtedly tortured the two manticores crowded at the entrance of the cave. Although Greem, after transforming into the Balrog, did not have the huge strength and strong body of the Growler, he could not withstand his many defensive witchcraft.
His body of fire naturally possesses flame protection, and anyone who attacks him will inevitably suffer fire damage. In addition to his body, there is also a lava shield and an energy shield inspired by Ioun Stone, plus a large-scale
Flame Barrier and High Temperature Barrier... Even a stone man standing next to Greem would be roasted to pieces, let alone a flesh and blood body.
While the two manticores were frantically attacking the lava shield, they gritted their teeth and endured the lava fireballs that exploded like bullets in Greem's hands. Their skin was burned to pieces, and the flames, magma, and flames formed a huge furnace.
They were baked until they were burnt on the outside and miserable on the inside.
After barely breaking through the lava shield outside Greem's body and digging out several wounds on his tall and strong body, the two nearly roasted manticores fled the battlefield in a desperate manner. In their place was a manticore.
A terrifying manticore that is far larger than average.
The terrifying and ferocious aura hit his face. Even with Greem's strength after transforming into a Balrog, he couldn't help but feel a slight shiver in his heart, and the hope of fighting suddenly disappeared.
Manticore leader!
That male elite manticore!
Facing such a guy with extraordinary strength, Greem did not dare to hide his secrets at all.
The flames outside Greem's body once again rolled violently, and the Balrog's heart continued to beat wildly, and streams of pure flame energy rushed along the blood vessels to the limbs and bones. The color of the flames outside Greem's body suddenly changed from
The red turned into deep purple, and a pure evil twisted power spurted out along with the abyss fire.
While this flame burns the body, it also has the property of destroying the soul, making it particularly sinister and terrifying!
The manticore leader stood proudly in the sea of fire. The powerful life force field distorted the space around him, protecting himself from the poison of the flames. Its majestic lion eyes stared at Greem for an instant, and inside
There is both deep hatred and deep incomprehension, but more of it is the light of reason unique to intelligent creatures.
"Human, why do you want to invade our home? We have never hunted down any wizards!"
"Territory!" Faced with such an enemy who was equal to him, Greem had to put away the pride of wizards and gave the real answer: "I need this territory! I need the volcano deep underground here.
energy!"
The manticore leader's eyes darkened, and he immediately knew that things were going to be difficult today!
As an underground monster, the manticore cannot live without the special environment of the underground world.
Go to the deep underground, where there are even more terrifying monsters, some that even they dare not provoke.
Going to the surface, with the strength and difficult reproduction speed of the manticores, they simply cannot defeat those surface monsters.
After all, only areas such as the shallow underground are most suitable for them!
Leaving this familiar area, they are likely to fall from the middle reaches of the Black Forest food chain to the lower reaches. At that time, they will no longer go out to hunt others leisurely, but will hide here and there to avoid others.
Monster hunting.
Therefore, the significance of this lair to the Manticore family is self-evident!
And the only way to get them to give this place up is to walk over its corpse.
Instantly understanding his situation, the manticore leader no longer had any illusions about negotiations and transactions. With a violent roar, the manticore leader rushed towards the tall Balrog transformed by Grim.
Greem also pounced forward without showing any signs of weakness.
But before he pounced on him, he had already raised his neck and swallowed a bottle of witch potion. This was a potion specially prepared by Gargamel to restrain the manticore's paralyzing toxin.
Before the two sides came into contact, Greem pushed forward with both hands, and a huge flame stream with a thickness of one meter rushed towards the manticore leader violently. The opponent relied on the life force field outside his body to resist the flame stream, broke through the flames, and rushed to Greem.
In front of Mom.
昘昘……
The violent lion claws brought with them a hint of cold wind, leaving deep scratches on the lava shield in front of Greem. The long and flowing mane on the manticore leader's chest was rolled by the terrifying flames.
, it burned into a bald spot in an instant.
Taking advantage of the stalemate, the long scorpion tail behind the manticore leader suddenly stabbed out. The hook-shaped poisonous needles at the end of the limbs obviously had some armor-breaking effect, and they actually broke through the defense of the lava shield, and were deeply hurt.
It penetrated into the flame body of the Balrog.
ah……
Ouch...
The two adversaries made excruciating words at the same time.
Greem felt a pain in his shoulder, and then it became numb, and then he felt nothing at all. The terrible paralyzing toxin has the ability to paralyze the consciousness of the soul, and Greem immediately felt that all aspects of his body were out of control.
Although it is slight, it is real!
The painful howl of the manticore leader was caused by the fire damage suffered by the poisonous needle of the scorpion tail. It felt as if he had plunged the scorpion tail into the lava of a terrifying volcano with extremely high temperature. His scorpion tail, which was densely covered with mental nodes, instantly
It will be cooked by the high temperature inside the opponent's body.
Although it had tried its best to inject paralyzing toxin into it, except for the slight stiffness of the opponent's body, it did not completely lose its ability to resist like its previous prey.
And it, the manticore leader, is completely under the double burning of the lava sea of fire and the flame barrier at this moment!
Even with its strength, it cannot withstand such horrific fire damage.
Therefore, after struggling with Greem for more than a dozen times, the manticore leader took the initiative to retreat and regroup.
And this retreat just revealed how much damage the two men suffered in the short battle just now.
The lava shield outside the body of the Balrog transformed by Greem was completely shattered, and his chest was full of cracks. Red magma spewed out from inside, forming a small lava lake on the ground.
After transforming into a Balrog, all this is the blood in Greem's body!
And Greem is miserable, and the manticore leader is not much better than him.
It was like being thrown into a volcanic lava and taking a lava bath. At this moment, the manticore leader had been burned completely by the flames and magma, and his flesh and blood were blurred. Looking all over its body, there was almost no inch of intact skin.
They were all filled with blisters and scorch marks filled with yellow water, and the spurting blood was directly vaporized by the high-temperature flames before it hit the ground.
If it hadn't had a constitution as high as 11 points and had the innate ability of 'rapid regeneration', these injuries alone might have been enough for it to withdraw from today's battle.
Just when the manticore leader pulled away a certain distance, prepared to take a brief rest, and then use the bat wings to launch another round of more ferocious attacks, Greem not only did not take half a step back, but instead took the voodoo secret scroll in his hand with a big hand.
, took the initiative to launch a new round of witchcraft attacks on the manticore leader.
Red flame storm!
Fire core melts and explodes!
Two consecutive violent fire witchcrafts locked onto each other in an instant, sweeping away like a violent storm...
