Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 360 A Desperate Prayer

In the pale moonlight.

The dark red flames of hell were burning everywhere in the Gnoll camp. The raging fires reflected the entire night sky as if it was stained red with blood, creating a strange dark red color.

The strong smell of sulfur mixed with the choking smell of charred corpses filled every corner of the camp that was about to be turned into ruins.

In the billowing thick smoke, the figures of jackals covered their noses and wiped their tears, one by one, howling and whimpering one after another, these scorched black figures wrapped in flames, their vigorous hair was scorched by the ubiquitous flames.

They could only run away like headless chickens in the face of the flames chasing after them amid desperate howls.

Nine Rings Spell: Meteor Burst!

As a large-scale attack spell that requires a caster level of at least 18 to master, its destructive power is beyond doubt.

Now, combined with the blessing of the tiefling race's three gain specialties, it has the characteristic of hellfire, so that these eight meteor-like fireballs can still leave many inextinguishable flames on the ground after they fall to the ground and explode. Continue to use its residual heat.

Moreover, after the magician adjusted the damage and range of the spell, the spell successfully increased its bombing range on the premise of reducing the damage, directly making the Gnoll camp look like it was being attacked by dense air-to-ground missiles. Baptize again.

After all, the challenge level of most gnolls is only about level 2. Even if the spell damage is deliberately reduced, their fragile lives will turn into a pile of inconspicuous fly ash at the moment of the explosion.

In short, in the aftermath of this nine-ring evocation spell, as long as it is a wolf man whose strength is lower than the third level, even if he survives by luck, it will be difficult to escape from every corner of the city amidst the continuously burning flames. A burning camp.

If you are lucky enough to be floating in mid-air at this time, in addition to witnessing the tragic scene of the gnoll camp like a horrible hell, you can also see the most shocking scene, that is, the eight meteors in the camp were blown out of the camp. 50 meters circular pit.

Under the perfect control of the caster, the eight meteors were evenly scattered in every corner of the entire camp, directly causing no part of the Gnoll camp to be covered by the aftermath of the explosion.

This place has become a camp burning with hellfire. The thick sulfur breath mixed with the wailing wailing of the wolf man, drifted to the deepest part of the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range with the biting wind, as if to greet all evil humanoid creatures. Deadly warning: This is what happens to the invaders!

Gnolls are the legacy transformed by demonic rituals. None of them are innocent. From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, they yearn for senseless killing and destruction all the time.

"Boom!"

At this time, in the very center of the camp, a statue of Yenoghu, King of the Wolf Man, which was about to be completed, collapsed into a sea of ​​flames.

"Do not!!!"

In the sea of ​​billowing black smoke, a wolf man priest in a dark brown robe looked at the scarred statue of Yenoghu. His entire body prostrated himself in front of the collapsed statue, letting out an unwilling roar.

They are one of the most elite tribes among the gnoll tribes deep in the Great Swordscar Mountains: the hunting tooth gnoll tribe.

Because their king of gnolls was exhausted during the battle of Winter City and fell into a deep sleep, the gnoll priests in the Great Swordscar Mountains almost lost most of their magic, which led to being killed by those clumsy hill giants. Forced to be so embarrassing.

Therefore, the first thing the Gnoll tribe from the Great Swordscar Mountains retreated to the Emerald Field was to rebuild the altar of the Gnoll King, and then perform the bloodiest sacrificial ceremony in the civilized settlement of the Emerald Field.

Only in this way will the sleeping Gnoll King gain the power of his believers and wake up, and as a Gnoll priest, he will also regain his magic and receive gifts from the gods.

This will be the biggest reliance for them to counterattack the hill giant.

Now, the sculpture of the Wolf Man in the camp was about to be completed, and all the materials for the sacrificial ceremony had been collected. Just when they were about to complete the first step of the counterattack, all their efforts and hopes were completely destroyed by the sea of ​​fire.

When the high priest of the wolf man saw the statue of the king of the wolf man that had gathered all his hard work collapse, all his hopes were also shattered.

Having lost his magical powers, he could only watch helplessly as his clansmen drowned in the flames died in howls, and the collapsed sculpture of the King of Gnolls baked in the flames, but he was helpless.

Following the screams of the gnoll priest, many abyss gnolls, Yeenoghu's fangs, and those powerful Flinder gnolls, including the leader of the gnolls, who fell into the sea of ​​fire gathered around the gnoll priest. .

Looking at the Yeenoghu sculpture that was burned by the fire, the ferocious spikes on the back of the Yeenoghu statue that were broken due to the collapse, and the numerous wounds on the statue's body that were submerged by the flames.

"Ow! Oooo! Oooo!"

A large group of Gnoll believers who were disheveled by the flames let out a desolate roar while waving their weapons, desperately trying to extinguish all the flames around the statue.

The abyss gnoll and Yeenoghu's fangs are the gifts left by the demon lord Yeenoghu to these worshipers when the gnoll presided over the demon ceremony. They are all gnolls possessed by the spirit of the abyssal demon.

Therefore, as long as they were not hit by the "Meteor Burst" on the spot, these gnolls who inherited the fire resistance of the abyssal demons would naturally have no fear in the face of the hellfire aftermath.

As a race of gnolls that hardly produce spellcasting professions, the abyss gnolls and Yeenog's fangs are their biggest reliance on their rise in the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range.

The former inherited the special abilities of various abyssal demons, allowing them to fight against spellcasters.

The latter mastered the ritual of rapid population growth of the tribe. As long as there were enough hyenas and food, the fangs of Yeenoghu would cause the population of the entire tribe to increase rapidly.

Without these two special gnolls, it would be impossible for the gnoll race to become the strongest race in the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range.

This is the benefit of a race having the protection of the gods.

After all, this is a world dominated by gods.

It's a pity that their god of gnolls has fallen asleep, and the believers can't get a response from the gods at all, resulting in the loss of most of their power. This is also the fundamental reason why they were driven out of the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range.

The fire that raged around the Yeenoghu sculpture was quickly extinguished by the demonic legacy that did not fear fire.

They all looked devoutly at the scarred statue of the King of Gnolls, worked together to help it up, and then prostrated themselves on the ground with crazy and devout eyes.

"My lord, the greatest demon lord! King of the gnolls! For the prosperity of the gnolls, your most devout people beg for your help and gifts!" The gnoll priest led everyone to kneel deeply on the ground On the ground, he kept muttering the ancient devil language in his mouth.

The fire in the camp continued to burn, and countless gnolls and various slaves were still struggling in the flames.

But at this time, the wolf man leader and the wolf man priest chose to entrust the hope of the tribe to this god who has never been answered, because they knew that only the most desperate prayer is the most powerful force to answer the god.

Accompanied by the whispers of ancient demons echoing in the sea of ​​flames, from the corpses of countless dead gnolls and various slaves in the camp, waves of almost invisible evil energy floated out, and all of them converged on the altar of the gnoll statue.

for a moment...

In the hollow eyes of the scarred Gnoll statue, emerald flames burned strangely, a little bit of divine light slowly emerged, and the evil aura from the bottomless abyss began to spread outward.

"My lord has awakened from a deep sleep!" The wolf-man priest crawling on the ground roared excitedly as he felt the magical power of the long-lost reunion.

"Ouch!!!"

The howling of wolves sounded under the statue of the King of Gnolls one after another, and gradually became excited, as if welcoming the return of the demon lord.

"Kill them all!" The high priest of the wolf man held a skull magic weapon carved with a three-headed flail, and locked his vicious and cruel eyes on the instigator outside the camp.

Then one by one galloping figures rushed out through the sea of ​​flames.

Their target is: Anakeys, the magician of Stallman Town!

Regarding the special situation of the night lord, as a wolf man priest, he naturally knew it clearly.

It must have paid a huge price for the other party to dare to mobilize magic energy to attack their camp so unscrupulously.

Therefore, the Gnoll Priest, who had regained his magic, believed that now was the best time to kill this lord. As long as she was killed, the rest of Storman Town would not pose any threat at all.

At that time, they will once again hold the bloodiest sacrificial ceremony for the King of Gnolls in this small town. When the power of the gods is restored, they will also get more gifts.

As for those compatriots caught in the flames...

He didn't even need to worry about it. There were too many gnolls roaming the wilderness, and only food could limit their growth. Gathering a group of gnolls was too easy for a high-ranking gnoll priest.

……

In a dense bush outside the Gnoll camp.

A dozen or so tiefling players hidden among them took the lead in protruding out all kinds of strange-shaped horns, followed by pairs of pupils shining reddish light in the night.

As descendants of demons, they are born with the ability to see in the dark.

What's more, the fire in the Gnoll camp is still spreading, and the whole night is filled with a dark red color, so that the surrounding environment has also become dim.

Therefore, the scenery displayed in the eyes of these tiefling players at this time is almost the same as during the day.

At this time, a tiefling ranger wearing dark red leather armor and holding a black compound longbow with six fingers looked at the camp of gnolls whose gunpowder was soaring into the sky and the gnolls who escaped from the camp one after another. The demon warrior Ishak beside him said:
"A lot of gnolls have already rushed out of the camp. Sister Jessica informed us that we can attack."

As soon as the tiefling ranger finished speaking, more than a dozen fighting eyes all locked on Ishak, waiting for him to nod in agreement.

They are the most powerful group of players in the entire town of Stallman. Tonight's task is to block the only way to the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range, and slaughter all the jackals that escaped from the sea of ​​fire as much as possible people.

Today, the gnoll camp has been submerged in the raging sea of ​​flames with eight meteors falling to the ground. Many gnolls who survived by chance have already escaped from the sea of ​​fire. Faced with mobile experience packs one by one, everyone began to feel a little impatient. feel lonely.

After all, they have been lurking here for a long time, and it is time to prepare for the harvest.

Looking at a large group of embarrassed wolf men approaching, and noticing that these wolf men were almost unarmed when they ran for their lives, Yishak's expression relaxed.

"The jackals who can escape from the sea of ​​fire must be very strong. After the battle starts, everyone should pay attention to safety."

Immediately after he kindly reminded everyone, he pulled out the two fine gold daggers hanging from his waist without hesitation, and the wide demon wings flew out first.

——"Supernatural ability: Barlow's flame protection!"

The dark red wings of the humanoid demon Ishak floating in mid-air spread out, and raging flames burned wildly around him.

The scorching high-temperature flames seemed to be a sign of giving orders, and agile tiefling figures rushed out of the dense bushes.

Ishak, who was wrapped in the flames, tightly held the two fine gold short swords that were reddened by the flames, floating above the group of wolves who were a little confused.

In the dim night, dazzling flames were burning violently, and the distorted air was filled with the sulfurous breath that impressed Gnolls.

At the moment when these gnolls who escaped from the flames were stunned, Ishak, who was floating in the air, smashed into the crowd like a super-sized fireball, and the two fine gold daggers in his hand took the opportunity to flash deadly sword lights, three or four A jackal fell to the ground clutching its neck.

"Bang! Bang!"

At the same time, Ishak's Demon Wings were not idle, and in the burning flames, the surging force instantly sent the two jackals behind him who couldn't react in time flying away.

As a level 10 fighter and a level 5 monk, Ishak did not give up his weapon specialization, and the monk's unarmed strike ability was all strengthened on the two wide demon wings behind him.

With the gain of Qi energy, these two wings are as hard as steel. In addition to having a good defense ability, its attack power is also very strong.

Just like before, when it hit the Wolf man's chest, the two Wolf men felt as if they had been hit by a giant hammer, and in the howling of pain, they fell into the dust in a perfect parabola.

At this time, another Asmo player, who was surrounded by pure white energy full of sacred aura, was unwilling to be lonely. He took the opportunity to spread a pair of angelic wings that had just grown and floated in the night sky, and then pulled out a silver long spear with a solemn expression. The sword pointed directly at a large group of wolf men.

——"Second Ring Magic: Oyaela's Brilliant Burst!"

A holy light from the upper plane was guided out by the silver long sword. The holy light was as dazzling as the sun, emitting a scorching light in the night, directly covering all the gnolls.

This kind of brilliance specially aimed at the evil camp took effect immediately when it fell on the body of the wolf man, and began to continuously burn every inch of their flesh and blood.

"what!!!"

Immediately, the wolf man shrouded in divine radiance emitted a mist that looked like scorched flesh and blood, and howled in pain.

At the same time, the dozen or so tiefling players who had just rushed out were not idle, and they used their best moves to greet the group of unarmed gnolls.

A bloody massacre against the Gnoll was launched here.

　Thanks to the boss: Bizarre xy for the reward, thank you for your support! ! !
