Hades Messenger Is Succubus Master-Chapter 23 Guell Cemetery (II)
Chapter 23 - 23 Guell Cemetery (II)
Just when everyone thought they had defeated it, the faceless blood demon suddenly went berserk, and bloody spikes suddenly grew on its body, turning it into a large thorn ball. Elfa, who was closest to it, was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the spikes.
Fortunately, he was wearing heavy armor and raised his shield to protect his throat and face. However, despite his quick reaction, he was still stabbed in the joints that were not protected by armor. Randy and Matar were also injured, but Kogas, who was not close and retreated quickly, was safe and sound.
"Ahhh... Raawwwr..." The Faceless Blood Demon roared like a wolf or a tiger, and kicked Elfa's tower shield hard, kicking him away. Elfa stabbed the ground with his sword to stop the demon's momentum, but the demon's power was too strong. After being dragged for a while, he suddenly hit the wall of the tomb, his chest churned, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
As if it was very dissatisfied with the big guy who he couldn't pierce, the faceless blood demon rushed towards Elfa on all fours like a wolf, so fast that it even stirred up a gust of wind. Two low-level swordsmen raised their weapons to block its way, but it only needed to wave its claws to both sides, and the throats of the two were immediately torn apart, without even a second of time.
Kogas could fight this thing head-on, but for some reason this guy always gave people a feeling of passive resistance. He would always attack the Faceless Blood Demon out of the blue. No matter if he hit it or not, he would retreat after one attack to ensure that he was absolutely safe and never give it any chance to react. As for the safety of his teammates, it was not within his consideration.
The faceless blood demon seemed determined to kill Elfa first. It didn't care much about Kogas's harassment. It just dodged and ran towards Elfa. Roger was standing next to Elfa. Seeing that Elfa was seriously injured and had not yet recovered his ability to move, the faceless blood demon rushed towards him like a mad dog. He stood in front of Elfa, with a weakened guardian eye and a heavy sword across his body. Blue and white light flashed on his body, ready for battle.
The Faceless Blood Demon was getting closer and closer, twenty steps, ten steps, five steps...
The horrifying howl, the swift figure and the powerful claw just now merged into a picture in Roger's eyes. He seemed to see himself being pierced through the body by a claw a few seconds later, with blood smeared all over the wall. He remembered the time when he was hit by the claw of the Yellow Springs Monster on Klin Island and was dizzy. A sense of fear arose in his heart. He seemed to have fallen accidentally, or to have dodged instinctively. He dodged to the side.
Elfa watched his teammates suddenly retreat, and the faceless blood demon that rushed towards him like a chariot was roaring and provoking him in a weird posture. Despair spread in his pupils, and as the monster stained with blood got closer and closer, it became more and more intense.
Suddenly, the bloody voice screamed and flew to the side, and its original position was replaced by another person. The pale-faced Randy, because he stood up to help Alpha knock the faceless blood demon away, leaving him to bear the impact of the monster alone. At this moment, he only felt like his body was rolling like waves, and his throat tasted sweet, and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
Matar, who followed behind, quickly helped Randy up and moved aside, while Roger followed Matar's example and helped Elfa up. The holy warrior had recovered some strength, and he let Roger drag him aside. Although he didn't say anything, there was a strange look in his eyes when he looked at Roger.
Seeing the faceless blood demon being knocked to the ground, Kogas rushed over and stabbed him a few more times, leaving several more cuts on his body. The faceless blood demon scratched wildly in pain, and the spikes that had retracted appeared again, but Kogas had already escaped and hid ten meters away.
"Give me a little more time, it will be quick..." Marco whispered, hiding behind Roger.
Seeing that Kogas had retreated, the Faceless Blood Demon rushed towards Elfa again, as if he would not be satisfied unless he killed the holy warrior.
Matar, who was not seriously injured, took off the spear from her back and threw it out. The dark green fighting spirit filled the spear and it whistled straight at the monster's face. This time, there was no charge, so the damage was naturally far less than the one on Klin Island. The faceless blood demon closed his claws and grabbed the spear in mid-air. He took advantage of the situation and shot it towards Kogas who was trying to attack from behind.
Kogas did not dare to be arrogant, and quickly raised his blood-red fighting spirit and used his sword to block the spear. Affected by the momentum of the spear, he also took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that the first strike failed, Matar swung the black gold dagger to meet the monster, and the dark green fighting spirit drew a ray of light. The monster reached out with his right hand, grabbed Matar's wrist holding the dagger, and used his left hand as a knife to stab Matar's abdomen fiercely.
How could the agile Orc Girl sit and wait for death?
She twisted her waist and jumped into the air, kicking her feet on the monster's chest, trying to use the force to break free from the claws that grabbed her arm. Seeing the other party jump up, the Faceless Blood Demon actually took advantage of her momentum to swing twice in the air, and then threw the Orc girl out.
Matar was thrown to the dome of the main tomb like a kite with a broken string, and embedded into the stone of the dome with a "bang".
"Matar!" Roger wanted to jump up to save her, but he couldn't fly, so he could only worry below.
"Alright!" Marco shouted, and with his voice, the pentagram array on the ground that had just dimmed lit up again, but this time it was no longer a blood-red light, but a pink one.
As the soft pink light rose, a huge black tentacle covered with purple meridians also stretched out from the array. It did nothing else, but rushed straight to the faceless blood demon at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, quickly wrapped around the guy's ankle, and without waiting for it to react, it dragged it into the array.
It took less than two seconds for the faceless blood demon to suddenly disappear from being domineering.
The tomb became quiet again. The howling sound disappeared, leaving only the humming sound of the cold wind. Among the people present, Roger, Kogas, and the only remaining low-level mercenary were unscathed.
Elfa and Randy were both seriously injured. The two were sitting at the door of the tomb, leaning against each other. Matar jumped down from the dome, her body covered with gravel and dust. Although she didn't seem to have any heavy wounds, judging from her pale face, she must have suffered a lot of internal injuries. Marco's face was also pale. It seemed that the previous move had consumed a lot of his energy.
"Captain, look!" The only remaining mercenary Ola pointed in the direction of the coffin, only to see that the mummy who had just been sitting there pointing at them had laid back down again. The magic crystals embedded in his coffin also lost their luster, and each one turned into powder.
"Go up and take a look." Roger motioned to him.
Ola ran towards the coffin, but before he was halfway there, he was suddenly pierced by a sword. He looked back with an expression of disbelief. Vulture Kogas held his shoulder with one hand and slowly pulled out the sword from his body with the other hand, his face expressionless.
"Kogas, you?" Everyone was surprised.
"Nothing." Kogas wiped the bloody bee sting with the cloth on Ola's body and said nonchalantly, "It's time to start cleaning up the mess."
"As expected!" Roger gritted his teeth. Marco had told Roger that day that Madam Sofia had let them into the cemetery this time and had never thought of letting them out. Even if they completed the mission, this swordsman would kill them.
In this battle, Kogas had been waiting for the opportunity to tire himself out, letting them consume the Faceless Blood Demon. If they were able to consume the Faceless Blood Demon to a very weak state, he would kill them all at once. If not, he would withdraw without any loss.
Although he did not expect that the Faceless Blood Demon would be destroyed due to the presence of Marco, he was still more than capable of dealing with the remaining soldiers in his current state.
"Don't be afraid, I'm in a hurry to report back, I won't torture you." Kogas walked slowly towards the few people, swinging his long sword as he walked. He enjoyed the feeling of being the god of death. A 7th-level swordsman in his prime, faced three seriously injured 5th-level warriors, a 3rd-level swordsman and a person who didn't even have fighting spirit. It was like a elephant versus a few ants, the disparity was so great that it made people despair.
"Who should I kill first? Let me see." Kogas looked around in front of everyone as if he was selecting a commodity, and fixed his eyes on Randy. "You look like you deserve a beating, so I'll kill you first."
The bee sting sword was raised, carrying red fighting spirit, and pierced towards Randy's chest like a ray of light.
Would they just sit there and wait for death? Of course not. Knowing this would happen, Roger and Marco naturally had a backup plan.
"Now!!"
Marco shouted, and a red wall made of blood suddenly rose up, blocking Kogas. The blood wall was not solid, and could even be said to be soft. However, it was this soft and thick feeling that made Kogas's sword ineffective. After the power was removed bit by bit, it was even bounced out.
Kogas was furious and wanted to jump up to attack again, but he saw the pink pentagram formation under his feet flashing again, and a familiar figure flew out from the formation.
It was the Faceless Blood Demon, which had just been dragged in, but was thrown out by the tentacles and was now flying towards him at an extremely fast speed. In a panic, he and the Faceless Blood Demon fought in mid-air, and the man and the beast left more than ten wounds on each other before they separated.
Suddenly, the tentacle stretched out and pulled the Faceless Blood Demon back into the formation.
"Damn you, little brats!" Feeling that he had been fooled, Kogas was furious. His eyes were red as if they were about to burst into flames, and his expression was as ferocious as that of a devil from hell. Holding a long sword, he was about to kill the culprit, Marco.
"puff!"
A black tail pierced through his chest, and as if that was not enough, the tail flexibly drilled into his throat and jumped out from his crown. Blood was gushing out, Kogas body twitching all over, and the red fighting spirit in his body continued to leak out like a broken dam, and soon, he died in mid-air.
The corpse fell, revealing the person behind him, who was quietly retracting her tail, Lilith, who was wearing a magic apprentice outfit and smiling seductively. Kogas never expected that there was a high-level demon lurking here, and it was a succubus who was the best at disguise.
Everything was settled, and the most dangerous moment was finally over. Everyone in the group breathed a sigh of relief.
