"Commander!" the dwarf interrupted the king's explanation. "I think he's about to attack!"
Along with the roar, several arms grew out of Mark's body. He waved all his arms and rushed towards the barbarian standing in the front.
Mark seemed to have so many arms since he was born, and he used them to launch a storm-like attack. The barbarian was more than two meters tall, but he looked like a child in front of Mark.
The fist hit Gaotrik's simple armor, making a soft but textured sound.
As soon as summer came, Langdon saw middle-aged women everywhere placing their unused quilts on the balcony and beating them with wooden sticks. The sound was very similar to that one.
The barbarian spat out a large mouthful of blood, apparently the blunt force trauma from the fist had injured his internal organs.
The king also heard the sound of bones breaking.
The dwarf rushed forward and used his height to squeeze in between Mark and Gotrek: "I'll take it! My armor is not afraid of physical fists!"
Gao Trik took two steps back and swung his battle axe to cut off one of Mark's arms.
Mark laughed, then sprouted two arms on his short limbs.
The next moment, he grabbed the dwarf.
"Hey!" Flint yelled, "Put me down and let's have a good fight!"
Mark ignored him and threw the dwarf to the ground like he was smashing a rotten apple.
"Carliss Newman!" the dwarf shouted, completely forgetting that this was the patron of the dwarves, not the dwarves.
Mark turned to Wang. At this time, all the strong acid in his body had been consumed in the reaction with his flesh. The place where the strong acid was originally covered was now covered with an ugly scab.
"You damn smart guy! If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be so many troubles! The princess would happily go to the cemetery and play her house! Kill a few undead and then be satisfied! Now, in order to make her keep the secret, she has to turn into something else that looks like a human!"
Mark said as he walked towards the wizard, looking confident.
Anyway, all attacks now can't hurt him.
His voice sounded like a blacksmith sharpening a sword on a grinding wheel because his vocal cords were completely deformed.
Wang: “I have a plan.”
"It's useless, wizard! You've already used up your only acid arrow that's effective against me! I hate Ma Youfu!"
Wang: "Pastor, guide the negative energy."
The pastor was shocked: "Are you sure?"
The king didn't answer. He pulled Elizabeth up and ran to the side - guiding negative energy would harm all living things, including teammates.
So you must stay away from priests.
Seeing this, the others also turned around and ran away.
The dwarf stood up cursing, holding up the holy emblem, and chanting the name of Cailin -
A dark green light burst out from the holy emblem, and the negative energy directly covered the area around the priest, including Mark who had not walked far.
Mark howled in pain.
Wang pulled Elizabeth to a place where the negative energy could not reach, and looked back to observe Mark's condition: "I was right, this is not his ability to regenerate, it is the positive energy that has always enveloped him. So as long as we neutralize it with negative energy, we can stop his regeneration."
The wizard paused and shouted, "Malika!"
The drow elf turned into a shadow, as if it had been waiting for this order.
When the dagger hit Mark's vital point, the monster let out an even more tragic howl.
Wang: "Keep guiding! Don't stop, don't let the regeneration in his body recover!"
Flint: "Are you sure? It will cover the elves too!"
Gao Trick suddenly picked up the dwarf, ran back a distance and put him down.
"Thank you, that's enough distance, but what are you going to do?" Flint asked.
Gao Trik patted his chest: "I am strong!"
Wang: "He's starting to regenerate, hurry up!"
The dwarf held up the holy symbol, and negative energy erupted again, covering Gotrek and the monster.
Zhuoer is just outside the circle.
The monster howled again.
Zhuo Er cut his already deformed vocal cords with one knife, turning the howl into a hissing sound like a leak.
Gao Trick, bearing the negative energy, rushed forward with his battle axe in hand, and chopped off the monster's three arms with one blow.
Misha Sara also fired continuously, and countless arrows avoided the drow who blocked the shooting range and pierced into the monster. Because they were picked up goblin bows and arrows, they could not cause much damage, but it was better than nothing.
After the storm of attacks, the monster fell to its knees, gradually shrinking and turning back into a human form.
Gao Trick also fell to his knees. The continuous negative energy just now almost drained the barbarian's vitality.
The dwarf shouted "Hold on" and prepared a healing spell.
Wang Ze quickly ran over and carefully checked Mark's condition.
"It's still alive?" He was amazed. "It seems like this is some kind of advent, not a mutation of his body."
Flint: "King, we should evacuate quickly. I just used up all my channeling energy, and your spells are almost exhausted. We have no fighting power."
The king nodded and glanced at Gotrick: "Can you still carry this guy?"
Gotrek nodded.
"Fight this traitor, and let's get back to a safe place and interrogate him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the cat-man Misha Sara's ears suddenly twitched. She immediately turned around and shot an arrow into the darkness.
The next moment, a sound like the howling of rodents came from the darkness.
Flint looked in that direction, and his darkvision allowed him to see the object clearly.
"Oh my god, what is that!"
After Wang finished performing the light spell, he raised the ball of light and frowned at the "big rat" that was still struggling.
No, that creature looked so evil, not like a natural creature like a mouse that is common in ordinary people's homes.
Wang: "Take that too, we—"
Suddenly there was the sound of an arrow breaking through the air.
The arrow hit Mark, who was lying on the ground, right in the heart.
Misha Sara shot in the direction where the arrows came from and shouted, "It's that ranger from before! He didn't run away!"
Wang Ze looked at the pastor and said, "Hurry up and save him!"
Dwarf: "He's dead, and I can't cast resurrection yet."
King: "Take his body with you. Maybe we can use the resurrection scroll. The princess might have it!"
"I have one at home," the princess replied faintly, "but it's for me, my brothers, and my father. We only have one in total."
The king was shocked, then turned to the animal shot dead by the cat man: "Misha Sara, do you recognize what creature that is?"
"I can't recognize it. I'm just a ranger. Maybe we can take that thing and ask the druids."
"Then take them with you. If that ranger can sneak attack us once, he can sneak attack us a second time! Retreat quickly! Marika, lead the way!"
The 3R rule of the priest's guidance of positive and negative energy is reflected in the conversion of prepared spells into healing or damage spells, but I like this form of direct energy guidance, so I adopted it.
Chapter 25 Situation Summary
As soon as they returned to the second floor of the Three Wild Boars Tavern, Elizabeth said, "It may not be safe here in the tavern. Let's go to my bedroom through the portal in the closet!"
"Okay. Let's go." Wang answered without raising his head, looking as if he was thinking about something.
The barbarian had to bend down and shrink his neck when passing through the portal.
As soon as the dwarf entered Elizabeth's bedroom, he began to comment on the stonework in the room: "How did you humans build a house that would collapse if the wind blew?"
Wang Zheng was deep in thought. He looked up and asked naturally, "Why is everything blue?"
Elizabeth: "I like blue, what's wrong?"
Wang: "Green is better for eyesight. After all, in the Mage Tower... Oh, sorry, the color outside your window is green. It's okay."
At this time, the last drow elf who came through the portal closed the door of the wardrobe, and Gaotrik put Mark's body on the ground.
The dwarf put down the body of the unknown creature.
Wang: "Let's start by summarizing today's actions. The only thing we gained was a spell counter ring. The big knight looked like he would have a lot of good stuff, but he fell into the stinking ditch. The enemy's spellcaster exploded, and the spellcasting material bag was also reduced to ashes. Basically, we have no material gains."
"That's right." The drow agreed.
"But we have obtained very important information." The wizard continued, "There is a huge conspiracy behind the disappearance of cats and dogs, so the mastermind behind the scenes wants to mislead Her Royal Highness the Princess who noticed this matter. At first, he sent Mark to monitor Her Royal Highness the Princess for a while and then found that only the Princess was investigating seriously. Marika thought it didn't matter, and so did Michaela, and Gotrick..."
Barbarian: “I’m stupid.”
King: "Thank you for your explanation. As for the princess herself, she..."
Elizabeth silently replied, "I am a naive sorcerer."
Misha Sara looked like she was going to comfort the princess, but the wizard spoke first, "Yes. So originally this matter would have ended, but I joined, and we began to move forward towards the truth, and the mastermind had to take action. This is the summary of the situation so far."
Elizabeth: "The key is what to do next. You have an idea, right?"
"That's right. I've just been thinking about this. First, we need to dissect this strange creature. Princess, do you have a flat tabletop? The kind that won't get dirty."
The princess pointed to her desk and said, "Is this okay?"
"Sure, Gotrek, move in."
The barbarian immediately swept everything on the desk to the floor and moved the desk over.
Wang took out a series of exquisite knives from his dimensional bag. The dwarf was stunned when he saw them: "Can you show me those knives? I have never seen such forging technology!"
"Because it's not forged. Most of the things in the Mage Tower are created by magic. My teacher called this a lancet. He discovered it when he was traveling in the multiverse. The people in that plane used a kind of golem to produce golems. It was very advanced."
"Carlisle Newman!" Flint exclaimed. "Golems producing golems! This is incredible!"
The wizard had already put on his gloves and started to use something called a lancet to dissect the strange little creature on the table.
Elizabeth watched for a few seconds and then turned away, unable to bear to watch any longer.
