Chapter 812: Separation
Nightingale realized that she guessed right.
Most of the hybrid species can't directly determine her position, and even fewer can climb up the rock wall to intercept her. Although the flying species "dive" down in mid-air, they are quite powerful, but they are like arrows that have lost their aim. If you keep moving, it will be difficult to pose enough threats to her.
The only ones who can "see" her are those strange beasts with sickle-like front claws-they twist their sturdy bodies, and the many secondary legs on the abdomen are like nails piercing into the rocks, so that they can come up on the rock wall Go freely. Instigated by the monster, they gathered towards the top of the cave one after another, blocking between her and the Vigilant Eye.
These enemies are undoubtedly the first obstacles she has to break through.
The wide dome became Nightingale's battlefield alone. This feeling of fighting alone has not been seen for a long time.
She used to walk alone under the night, taking revenge on those nobles who committed all kinds of crimes. It wasn't until Wendy found out the whereabouts of the Freedom Society that she got rid of that life.
But at this time, it is completely different from the feeling of being in Silver City.
Although she was alone, she did not feel bored or disgusted at all. She was not forced or threatened, but spontaneously stepped into this dangerous competition.
The belief in protecting her companions made her heart burn like a flame.
And Nightingale didn't feel lonely, she was wearing Soraya's special protective clothing, the backpack was filled with explosives produced by Agatha, and the gun at her waist was designed by Roland himself - there was also a gift engraved on it, "To Veronica".
All these make her feel that she is with everyone.
As thoughts surged, the distance between the two sides continued to shorten, and the enemy had gradually completed the encirclement, pressing towards her with a sickle.
There are sixteen in total.
Nightingale pulled out her pistol, pulled the safety, and when the alien beast that rushed to the front was only a few steps away from her, she got out of the fog and pulled the trigger at the same time.
The opponent also rushed out at that moment.
The powerful tail and auxiliary feet gave it an extremely terrifying explosive speed. This blow was like a predator pounced on its prey, and it was almost completed in the blink of an eye.
It's not so much the bullet hitting it as it is hitting the bullet.
Even if it is hit, the rest of the force can seriously injure Nightingale.
But the latter has long been prepared.
The moment the bullet was fired, she slipped into the mist again, and stepped on a rapidly receding contour line—that was the contour of the earth.
The timing is perfect.
In the eyes of outsiders, she seems to have jumped several meters backwards suddenly, but in fact, it is the earth that leads her to gallop backwards.
"Boom!"
The projectile penetrated straight into the sickle beast's pointed head, flipping off its carapace and brain together, like a blooming flower bud. The magic brilliance dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the invisible body also twitched and revealed its original shape. The lifeless beast fell into the underground lake like a stone, but in her eyes, it soared rapidly, as if being sucked in by the raging lake.
In this way, Nightingale used the unpredictable lines in the mist to chase and fight the enemy on the dome. Although the alien beasts moved quickly, gravity still caused them a lot of burden, especially when she deliberately lured the opponent to walk back and forth towards the field where she had already fought, the rock formations that were riddled with nails obviously couldn't provide enough force. Friction, which slows them down and inserts the accessory foot deeper.
However, this tactic is not without flaws. Since it is necessary to get out of the fog and expose itself for a short time when shooting, more and more evil beasts surround them, and the threat of flying attacks is also greatly increased-those with wings The deformed monster no longer blindly launched a "dive", but hovered closer to the dome and waited for an opportunity. Once she shot, they would rush towards the surrounding possible dodging directions, forcing her to pass through again, or use the Contour dodges the enemy's large-scale attacks.
The battle lasted for less than half an hour, and several scars appeared on Nightingale's body.
After all, it is not always possible to find the ideal hiding space—the change of the outline does not depend on the will of the capable person, and the foggy world is also dangerous for her, so high-intensity battles are a burden to both physical strength and spirit. heavy burden.
The most serious injury was in her ribs.
The front and rear pincers of the two flying species made her unavoidable for a while, and the sharp claws tore her coat, cutting from the side to the waist. Fortunately, Soraya's coated protective clothing withstood the fatal blow, so that she was not disembowelled on the spot, but the force still penetrated the coating, and the pain made her almost unable to breathe. After a while Only then did I catch my breath.
The manic hybrids could not bite each other, but cooperated with each other to launch a violent and hasty attack. It was obviously under the command of the beholder, which strengthened Nightingale's determination to destroy it. Although I don't know why it hides in this snowy mountain instead of going to trouble with Neverwinter, but once the evil beasts have a unified commander, they will definitely pose a great threat to His Majesty Roland in the future.
After all ten bullets were exhausted, there were still four scythe beasts left—except for the one who was shot close to the body, the other two stumbled and fell during the scuffle. Judging by the swirling and turbulent water flow on the lake, there was basically no one who fell into it. Possibility of climbing out.
Under the frantic siege of evil beasts, Nightingale neither had time to replace the bullet nest nor planned to do so. She put the pistol back into her waist, and while a wave of hybrids swarmed, she jumped behind an invisible beast with a flicker, and pulled it into the misty world with her hand.
When the scene in the field of vision suddenly became black and white, the other party was obviously a little stunned.
The magic power spread from Nightingale's fingertips, dragging a series of enemies that hit it into the mist. As the number of evil beasts increased, her magic power consumption instantly exceeded the critical value and began to drop rapidly. And at this moment, one of the countless lines that make up the dome rolled up and flew towards her.
What she was waiting for was this moment - the more creatures pulled into the mist, not only the speed of mana consumption would increase exponentially, but the world of the mist would also become more unstable. Those distorted lines could help her leap several meters, Can also be a formidable weapon.
The white line swept across, and the enemy's figure immediately froze in place.
It was as if they had disappeared out of thin air for a very short period of time, and there was a "white space" above the dome in an instant, but when they reappeared, the scene had become extremely strange—only the lower body of the evil beast remained. In the position before disappearing, but the upper body has been transferred to a place several meters away, as if a sharp long knife cut them neatly in half, and carried the severed body into the air.
This scene only lasted less than a blink of an eye, and then more than a dozen truncated bodies fell like hailstones, stirring up a column of water on the lake.
