When the last Ghoul, which was charging head-on and covered in fire, was turned into a charred remains under the sharp sword of Yavi, a brief, suffocating silence finally ushered in on the battlefield.
Yavi was holding the silver sword, his chest heaving violently, breathing heavily like a broken bellows. Sweat mixed with dirty blood slipped from his cheeks covered with black blood vessels, dripping into the blood-soaked mud at his feet. Even with the magic potion flowing in his veins and the power of Talisman surging in his body, this high-intensity massacre had almost drained him of all his energy. Physical strength. The Quen magic circle inlaid on the leather armor has long been broken and dissipated by countless claw strikes. The dim runes can only be activated again after waiting for the magic power to be recharged. The tough leather armor is full of cracks, revealing wounds of varying depths underneath. Fortunately, the effect of Golden Oriole Potion is still there, and the deadly corpse poison cannot corrode his flesh and blood for the time being.
There were only a few Ghoul left in the field. They were like frightened hyenas, wandering around Yavi and growling, their rotting eyes filled with primitive fear. They witnessed their companions being turned into pieces of meat and pieces. Ashes, the biological instincts are screaming crazily, warning them to stay away from this killer who is covered in blood and exudes an inhuman aura. They circle around, claws scratching the ground uneasily, but never dare to step within ten steps of Yavi.
Yavi turned a blind eye to the harassment of these lowly creatures. His pupils, which had turned pure black due to the magic potion and were as sharp as the abyss, were as sharp as blades, penetrating the diffuse blood mist and darkness, and locked firmly on the depths of the forest - the source of the furious roar before. He knew very well what it was.
Giant Ghoul!
They are completely different from their inferior counterparts who only act on instinct. They are as big as calves, covered with a dark, almost metallic tough carapace, and their knotted muscles contain explosive power. The most deadly thing is their intelligence - enough to plan ambushes, mobilize corpses, and even understand the cunning of hunting tactics! The ordinary Ghoul group is just a scattered insect, while a group of corpses led by Giant Ghoul is a well-trained death army! How many arrogant demon hunters eventually turned into withered bones in their lairs precisely because they underestimated the cunning and power of these "commanders".
Sand... sand... sand...
Heavy, sticky footsteps came from the shadows, crushing the silence.
Three huge figures, exuding a putrid aura that was several times stronger than ordinary Ghoul, slowly walked out from the edge of the dark forest and stepped into the light of lighting magic. They were like three moving mountains of meat full of malice.
Seeing them appear, the remaining ordinary Ghoul seemed to have seen their natural enemies. They let out a short and frightened cry, dispersed in an instant, and went into the dark forest without looking back, disappearing without a trace.
In the center of the battlefield, only Yavi is left.
He slowly straightened his back that was slightly bent due to panting, and he raised the blood-stained silver sword steadily again, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the three approaching shadows. The light of the illumination spell clearly outlined the outlines of these three monsters:
The two figures on the left and right are terrifying enough. The dark purple carapace is covered with thick bone spurs, the fangs are turned out, and the saliva drips to the ground, making a hissing corrosive sound. But the one in the middle... is even more terrifying! Its body is almost larger than its companions, and the carapace shows a It is an almost ink-black deep purple, like solidified blood. The thorns on its back are not only thicker and longer, but the tips also flash with a heart-stopping light. Its turbid yellow vertical pupils actually reveal a trace of scrutiny and cruel wisdom - it is the undoubted leader!
Three pairs of eyes full of malice were firmly locked on Yavi. The smell of blood and putrefaction in the air was so strong that it almost turned into a viscous liquid, which was suffocating. Behind the wooden wall of the camp, many warlocks had turned pale, covering their mouths and noses, resisting the overwhelming desire to vomit. In front of them, there was a pile of corpses. The Shura Field is composed of bloody independent demon hunters and... the three-headed Giant Ghoul lords that symbolize death and destruction. In the dead silence, only the heavy breathing of Yavi and the menacing roar like muffled thunder from Giant Ghoul's throat echoed.
Yavi's eyes never moved away from the three mountains of flesh exuding the aura of death in front of him. He didn't even turn his head. The cold voice clearly penetrated the bloody air and reached Red at the head of the city behind:
"Red! Those two little ones - hold them! No need to kill them, just trap them! Give me time to deal with this big guy!"
The order is concise, decisive and leaves no room for doubt.
"Understood!" Red's loud response was like a war drum, instantly awakening the warlocks who were shrouded in fear. The experienced commander did not hesitate at all and immediately issued the order, "Cast spells in turns! Target - restraint! Minimum consumption, maximum effect!"
Red was the first to take action! He pressed his hands on the ground, and the incantation in his mouth was rapid and powerful. Under the feet of the two Giant Ghouls who were about to pounce forward, the solid earth seemed to have come to life in an instant! Boom! Boom! Two huge, sharp-edged rock pillars broke out of the ground without warning, like giant fists, slamming into the relatively fragile abdomen of the two Giant Ghoul! With a dull impact, the two behemoths were forcibly lifted off the ground, screaming in pain, and the offensive was stalled!
Yennefer's reaction was as fast as lightning! Just before Giant Ghoul, one of the Giant Ghouls that was pushed up by the rock pillar, landed, her slender fingers elegantly drew complex runes in the air, and the cold magic power condensed instantly!
Aard Sign variant?
With a clear cry, biting cold air suddenly erupted with the Giant Ghoul as the center! The moisture in the air condensed instantly, and countless crystal clear and angular ice crystals clung to the monster's limbs and joints like living creatures, wrapping it in a thick ice coffin that constantly exuded cold air in the blink of an eye! The monster's struggling roar was frozen under the ice, leaving only a dull echo.
Another warlock in the team, Cahir, who was proficient in natural magic, took action almost at the same time! He waved his hands toward the edge of the forest like a conductor, chanting ancient Druid spells.
The forest seemed to have responded to his call! Whoosh! Whoosh! Two activated vines that were as thick as an adult man's waist and covered with thorns and barbs suddenly shot out from the shadows like giant pythons that had been lurking for a long time! They accurately wrapped around the hind limb joints of another Giant Ghoul who had just staggered from the impact of the rock pillar! The vines contained powerful natural forces, tightening and pulling back!
Accompanied by a tooth-breaking creaking sound and Giant Ghoul's angry roar, this monster was dragged by huge force and tied heavily to the trunk of a towering ancient tree that required several people to hug it! No matter how it twisted and tore crazily, those tough vines tightened tighter and tighter, digging deeply into the gaps in its carapace!
The whole process went smoothly and seamlessly! Under the precise command of Red, with the minimum consumption of magic power, Yavi's requirement of field control was perfectly realized! Two Giant Ghouls were able to tear apart an army. One was trapped in an ice cage, and the other was tied to the pillar of an ancient tree, completely losing the ability to move in a short period of time!
In the center of the battlefield, the pressure suddenly dropped!
However, Yavi's heartstrings tightened even more. Because from the beginning to the end, the largest Giant Ghoul leader, its pair of yellow vertical pupils full of cruelty and cold wisdom, never left Yavi's body!
The trapping of his subordinates, the casting of spells by the warlock, and even the blood of his companions filling the air... all of these seemed to have become irrelevant background noise. In its world, only the human with the sword in front of it was left.
The pure and violent killing intent locked on Yavi was as strong as the substance, pressing heavily on Yavi's shoulders, even making him feel a little sluggish every time he breathed. It was slightly He lowered his huge body slightly, and the muscles covered with the dark purple carapace stretched like steel nooses. A menacing roar as low as thunder rolled in his throat, and his front paws dug deeply into the blood-soaked earth - the goal was clear and he was ready to go!
In its eyes, only Yavi is left. In Yavi's eyes, there is only this terrifying leader who must be killed. The real showdown officially begins at this moment!
