Chapter 206 The Gray-Clad Apostle
In the gradually darkening inner courtyard, amidst the chaotic shadows of vines, a silent play is unfolding intensely.
The black ones are shadows, the white ones are the female knight and the alien, and the red ones are splattered blood.
There was no audience, no applause, no background music; the life-or-death struggle took place in complete silence, making it all seem incredibly eerie.
The swordswoman's armor was repeatedly struck, leaving whip marks on her wrists. She felt a dull ache in her flesh. Yes, the armor could save her life, but if that thing caught her, she would be strangled like a python.
The monster was well aware of this, and it revealed the numerous suckers on its tentacles, which were of varying sizes and resembled blisters, attempting to use the tips of its tentacles to attach to the swordswoman's armor and then pull her to its side.
It's not that easy!
The swordswoman wielded her longsword with dazzling skill, utilizing the coordination she had learned from circus acrobats to its fullest extent; every part of the blade became an extension of her body. The blade, coated with blessed oil, prevented the monster from stealing her weapon.
Dodge! Slash! Thrust! Block!
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the swordswoman's forehead. She dared not get too close, and turning her head, she saw that Gebu had disappeared—no, Gebu wouldn't abandon me and run away. He must have gone to find a way to deal with that guy's strange silence demon.
I want to help him—I want to get that holy emblem!
The swordswoman wrinkled her nose and made her decision. She feigned an opening, causing the monster to attack her, then rolled to the side, pushed off with her feet, and leaped towards the holy emblem!
The monster used its tentacles as limbs, clinging to the ground, pushing and pulling itself forward like a centipede, moving close to the ground.
The woman rolled forward on the ground and rushed to the fallen bishop and the emblem. She didn't have time to check on Tissant's condition. She was only in a hurry to reach for the emblem. Suddenly, her foot tightened. The tentacles of that thing wrapped around the woman's left ankle!
Oops!
Before the swordswoman could even touch the holy symbol, she was pulled back by a strange force, dragged several meters on the ground, and then swung half a circle in the air by her ankles before crashing heavily to the ground!
Well!
The swordswoman felt a sweet, sticky taste in her mouth, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and then she felt herself being lifted into the air. The monster was toying with her like a doll, tossing her straight toward a stone pillar!
Dove flew sideways, lost control of his body in mid-air, and rapidly approached, about to break his spine against the stone pillar!
However, what her body touched was not hard rock—but something warm and real.
She felt herself step on something and land. Turning her head, she saw a handsome and tall young human lying on the ground, wincing in pain.
Who are you?!
The young man sensed the surprise in Dove's eyes and mouthed to Dove:
shi—wo—ge—bu
The swordswoman then took a closer look and realized that, apart from his increased height, this guy really did have a face exactly like the half-goblin—even retaining the goblin's signature canine teeth.
So handsome!
Geb has grown bigger?!
Uh—it seems to have hardened as well, I mean the muscles.
Gebu: ni—hao—zhong—a
Only then did the woman realize that she had fallen onto Gebu (in his arms). She turned her face away to hide the blush on her cheeks and quickly pushed herself up.
Gebu was covered in bark armor. He somehow got hold of a long stick and attached his long-time bone dagger to the end of the stick, creating a makeshift spear.
Back in the day, I was a fighter in the tribe—after being enhanced by the enlargement spell, my strength was much greater than that of an ordinary human!
Unable to cast spells within the area of the Silence Aura, Gebu had to run a little further away, cast a spell to strengthen himself, and then run back in.
Don't let our wizard status fool you—we're not afraid of hand-to-hand combat either!
Now, for the first time, Gebu and the swordswoman are truly fighting side by side. One wields a long weapon, the other a short one. You have to admit, their art styles actually match quite well.
The situation became one against two. The monster didn't rush forward easily; it simply extended its tentacles in a threatening gesture, waiting for the two to react.
The swordswoman winked at Gebu, pointing towards the holy emblem. Gebu understood immediately.
Leave you!
The man ran to the left and the woman to the right, and the two of them ran in opposite directions at the same time. The monster's attention was immediately divided in two. Just as it was hesitating which threat to deal with first, Gebu charged over with the spear raised and baring its teeth!
Goblin charge! Aaaaaaah!
Although his body has temporarily become human, Geb's combat memories are still those of a typical goblin: full of imposing presence, but his skills—can only be described as extremely crude.
Geb's goblin-like charge successfully drew the monster's attention. Instead of a slashing threat, the monster gripped the spear shaft with its two tentacles at the tip, seizing Geb's weapon.
The suction cups on the tentacles clung tightly to the spear. Geb fought against the monster, and the magical power boost allowed him to put up a fight against it—but only a fight.
This guy is incredibly strong!
Geb felt himself being slowly pulled toward the alien, smooth head split open from the middle, revealing a writhing, slimy mouthpart—a wet, fishy smell assaulted his senses.
vomit----
I let go.
I relax————
I----
Gebu tried to pull his hand away and back, but found that at some point, several tendrils had crawled up his boots along the cracks in the floor tiles.
I f***ing————
The goblin wizard was grabbed by the calf and uprooted!
The force rose from the ground, his feet left the ground, and Gebu suddenly lost all his strength, being hung upside down by the monster and struggling in the air!
The monster used its tentacles to bind Gebu tightly in mid-air, pulling him up and down. Gebu felt his spine being stretched to its limit, feeling the clattering and splitting sensation, as if he was about to be torn in two from the waist!
Just then, a dark figure shot towards them like an arrow—the swordswoman wedged the Obak emblem onto the blade, gripped the hilt of the longsword tightly with both hands, and thrust it downwards!
The sword didn't pierce the monster's tough skin completely, only penetrating a few centimeters, but the holy emblem was firmly buried into the alien's flesh by the woman's full strength!
The alien's gray body contorted as if electrocuted, its tentacles flailing wildly, sending Geb and the swordswoman flying to the side—this time, the holy symbol was embedded in its body, and the monster used its tentacles to pierce its wounds, trying to pry the foreign object out of its skin—
The intense pain caused its cheeks to turn red again, revealing the tender flesh that Chloe had bitten through!
Geb felt the sound return to his ears; the guy's silence had been broken!
Having regained his voice, Gebu shouted at the swordswoman on the ground, "Stab it!!"
Then he threw the bone dagger that had fallen to the ground into the air!
The swordswoman flipped herself up from the ground with a somersault, sprang into the air, grabbed the dagger, and stabbed it down into the monster's cheek!
The dagger pierced the alien's weak point, and it roared angrily, its tentacles flying everywhere. The shattered sound waves tore the air in the inner courtyard to shreds—the creature's neck seemed to leak air, spitting out blood and foam, and it could no longer release that sound-isolating frequency.
Now! Cast the spell!
Seizing the opportunity, the goblin wizard quickly chanted the spell, and ether gathered on the tip of his tongue. A strange, ethereal magic flew out with the incantation!
Phantom Power!
