"Is this the knight?"
Han Dong, who was hidden in the shadows, was completely shocked by the battle that erupted next.
The duel between the female knight and the fallen had gone far beyond the scope of humans, not to mention the magic and supernatural abilities.
The most basic physical qualities alone were enough to shock Han Dong.
An ordinary bent knee jump from Celeste could reach a height of five meters and easily pass over [Baker the Fallen].
The chain swings could penetrate a meter-thick stone wall and even smash a deep hole in the ground.
Coupled with the various offensive holy light magic of the 'Holy Church Army', it continuously pressured the opponent.
The [Fallen Baker] was still not fully acclimatized to his body due to the interference of his internal distractions, and his lack of flexibility kept him in a state of 'being suppressed'.
On the surface, Celeste was indeed at an advantage.
But... there was a problem.
Even though each chain shackle attack could shatter several tentacles, it never hurt the original source of the fallen.
The shattered tentacles would either crawl back into the main body on their own, or grow a new one out.
"[Holy Church Army] doesn't belong to purely offensive personnel, and also needs to "hold a shield".
There is also a portion of Holy Light magic that is of the gain-buff type that can actually be used in combat, namely the throwing type of Holy Light attacks and covering the surface of the chain shackles with Holy Flame.
Her position is more towards "Defense" and "Team Gain".
It is only with the cooperation of her teammates that her full strength can be brought out.
With her largely attracting the target's hatred, she needs a teammate who is aggressive enough to deal a fatal blow to the target.
Continuing , she would sooner or later run out of physical energy and lose the battle.
I must do something."
Hidden in the shadows, Han Dong released Chen Li once again.
Due to sensing two powerful scents, Chen Li instinctively retreated, combining with the darkness as inconspicuously as possible.
When Han Dong gave the battle plan, Chen Li immediately shook her head.
"It's too dangerous, we might all die."
"If we don't take the risk, we'll end up dying... might as well fight."
Chen Li disagreed, still vetoing head-on combat, "We can just run away now and let this female knight hold off this fallen monster... At best, your mission will be judged unsuccessful afterwards, right?"
Chen Li wasn't a warm-hearted person.
After judging that the enemy's strength was far above her own, all she thought of was to live, never to go to her death.
"No... I also don't aim to save this female knight either, but rather, I want to obtain the magic book hidden within the fallen! Your help is needed Chen Li."
The 'master-servant relationship' was implicitly working, and Chen Li had some difficulty resisting Han Dong's request, but she was still subjectively reluctant to risk it.
"Living in a world where large numbers of human beings die every day...if we don't do something, if we don't try to fight for something important, sooner or later we will die too.
Something tells me that this book will be extremely useful to me.
Moreover, once I can cooperate with Celeste to kill this Fallen that has merged with life outside the walls, I will also reap a huge amount of "Cell Essence" and will have a higher chance of surviving in the next [Destiny Space].
Miss Chen Li, it's troublesome for you."
"I'll just do as you say."
Chen Li's eyes were gloomy, and she began to warm up by moving her joints in the dark corners.
The Holy Hammer Trial.
Celeste launched a stunt.
A large portion of the divine energy was removed from its head as the chain shackle in its hand swung out.
A giant hammer of holy light was generated on top of the fallen one and descended abruptly.
As the blow was unleashed, Celeste fell to one knee as a large amount of energy was drained away for a split second, causing her consciousness to shake... unable to continue the pursuit.
When the Giant Holy Hammer pressed down.
The [Fallen Baker] stretched out his tentacle-covered arms to block it.
Due to the repulsive properties, the arms used to block kept emitting a black vapor, and the surface tentacles quickly turned into filthy slime that kept dripping down to the ground.
The holy hammer also possessed tremendous power, causing Baker's legs to tremble slightly and keep sinking into the ground.
Only, this holy hammer that relied on energy wouldn't last forever.
As the contaminants continued to cancel out.
As black steam emerged, the glow of the Holy Hammer was fading... If this continued, at most, crippling Baker's arms would not be enough to kill it.
Celeste gritted her teeth as she watched this scene.
[How can a trainee knight who has been dismissed from the district bear such a powerful creature outside the wall! In his physical state, he should have just disintegrated during the 'acceptance' process, so why was he able to accept it perfectly?'']
Celeste was most puzzled by this.
Acceptance and possession.
It wasn't just a matter of casually finding a carrier, the subject's physical body had to be strong enough, otherwise it would just turn into a puddle of mud in the process of accepting foreign objects.
[Damn... I didn't think the second level would give rise to such troublesome degenerates... If I can get out alive, I must report to the higher-ups.]
In recent years, the things outside have become more and more eager to invade us, and their methods have become more and more stealthy.
But...it's hard to kill this thing with my current means.
What to do? Drain the remaining energy of the divine tree and break the boats?
Celeste was about to make a bad decision when she stared at the giant holy hammer that was about to be cancelled out.
A red instant shadow flashed out in the corner.
From the 'side', it climbed directly onto the shoulder of [Baker the Fallen]. (The front is drawn to attention by Celeste, the back has huge eyes, and the side is the best location for a raid.)
Knowing that Baker's entire body's tentacles possess conscience, sensing the approach of a foreign object, and immediately wraps around it.
The evil-covered chopper performs super-fast decapitation, and tentacles are being severed in droves.
Eyes locked on to Baker's head.
The request given by Han Dong is for Chen Li to lock on to the other man's head.
Because, only the head was still barely maintaining its human form in Baker.
Once the head was damaged, even if he didn't die, he would have to be affected in some way, right?
Chen Li belongs to the host creatures, staying in a cell full of chaotic tentacles, equally fearless of any form of 'contamination'.
Taking advantage of the Fallen's great opportunity to resist the Holy Hammer, she quickly crawled from side to shoulder, avoiding contact with the huge eyes on her back.
The 'eye in the back' was a feature that Han Dong was very concerned about, and the mysterious wizard also seemed to be hiding in it.
Moreover, from the previous battle, Celeste was equally afraid of this eye, fighting head-on the entire time.
It was difficult to sneak up on this Fallen One from the back because of the giant eye embedded in her back.
"Chen Li do it...attract its attention as much as possible."
The sharp chopper slashed at the Baker's bloated head.
One knife actually split the skull.
The mutation was sudden.
A different kind of 'brain tentacles' suddenly emerged from the skull split.
A kitchen knife couldn't even cut through such tentacles....
The 'bloody' liquid splattered all over the floor.
The tentacles easily ran through Chen Li's shoulders, hanging her in mid-air, gazing directly from the back of her eyes!
And at that moment, the youth hidden in the shadows moved.
