Green Monster Epic

Chapter 273: Deathmatch (To encourage Sunderer, wouldn't you give me some votes??)

To facilitate movement earlier, the Abyss Thorns, whose roots and vines were rolled into a ball, were now fully extended.

The vines and roots, covered with thorns, spread out like a huge, open spider web, blocking Allen's path deeper into the underground palace.

Behind Allen, the Sunderer's oak staff shimmered with light, and a spell was forming, but it was held in check by his powerful mental strength; in front of Sunderer, So Shen, who had lost his left arm, abandoned his hammer and held a shield in one hand to protect Sunderer.

The wound was controlled by healing potions and scrolls, preventing blood from flowing out, and was simply wrapped; further ahead, the human Joey stood beside the dwarf shield warrior Thorin, their eyes focused and alert, blocking Allen's retreat, their weapons and shields ready to strike the underdog at any time.

Although the three adventurers' desire for revenge wavered somewhat when the powerful Abyss Thorns appeared, Sunderer's words left them with no way out.

"Don't think about running away, the passage behind us has already been blown up by me, unless we kill the two opponents in front of us, otherwise, no matter who survives, we won't be able to escape!!"

Sunderer had already prepared for death, but in order to appease the three adventurers who were still useful, he still gave them a glimmer of hope.

"..."

Hearing these words, Joey and the others' faces darkened, and their eyes were filled with malice and anger as they glared at Sunderer, but the presence of two powerful enemies prevented them from falling out with him.

They took several breaths to suppress the anger in their hearts, and refocused their gaze on the enemies in front.

Joey naturally didn't want to let Allen, his enemy, go, and even if Joey and the others wanted to negotiate with the Abyss Thorns, which didn't seem to have much intelligence, they probably wouldn't understand.

After thinking about it, Joey and the others didn't have many choices in the end.

The best way was to use all their means to make the two powerful enemies in front of them perish together while they were fighting, so that their crisis would be resolved.

After figuring this out, Joey and the others no longer hesitated, after all, they were adventurers who licked blood from the edge of a knife, and they always acted decisively.

Allen's Raging Tide Sword rose again, and at this moment, the Sword Storm blocked the countless whips of vines and roots, while his figure also directly pressed forward, preparing to strike at the heart of the enemy.

With enemies watching behind him, Allen couldn't predict how they would attack.

Rather than being attacked from both sides, it was better to simply merge with the powerful enemy in front, which occupied a large area and had a wide attack range, so as to avoid the black hands of the enemies behind him.

If Sunderer's side attacked him at that time, he could also shift the blame and drag them into the battle circle of this magical plant together.

As a sword skill that could be placed in the Inheritance Crystal, Raging Tide Sword was excellent enough.

Imagine swinging a heavy weapon weighing more than 300 pounds more than a dozen times in one breath, the destructive power generated during this period was self-evident.

But similarly, this move also had extremely high requirements for physical strength and stamina.

Even with Allen's extremely strong level 9 physique, he could only use it 4-5 times a day.

Countless vines and roots were twisted into a tangled mess, and then divided into countless pieces.

The foul-smelling, dark green juice splashed everywhere, even falling in front of Sunderer and his team, blocked by So Shen and Thorin's heavy shields, making a sizzling corrosive sound.

"Whoosh!!"

A flower bud rose into the sky, attracting a series of reactions from the remaining 6-7 flowers.

The squeaky, sharp, ear-piercing, and eerie sound filled the entire passage, making people upset.

The Raging Tide Sword technique stopped, and Allen took deep breaths of air in the narrow, newly cleared space to adjust his state faster.

However, the Abyss Thorns obviously wouldn't give Allen such a chance.

Although Allen's move had damaged a lot of vines and roots, the Abyss Thorns, which still had more than half of its vines and roots as weapons, simply retracted all the vines and roots, in a posture to directly strangle Allen in its arms.

Countless vines wriggled like venomous snakes and retracted.

Sunderer's eyes above were filled with joy.

Back then, their team used this move to directly strangle the high-level combat squad leader and 5 team members on the spot.

A large vine ball appeared on the stone steps, swaying as if it was about to roll down the stone steps, but it remained standing firmly in place.

At the same time, the surface of the vine ball was like a heart, expanding and contracting from time to time.

When expanding, the vine ball could swell to completely fill the passage, and when contracting, it was only about two meters in diameter.

"Open for me!!!!!!"

After a dozen breaths, only a muffled roar was heard from inside, and then the vine ball suddenly expanded rapidly, and the vines even extended to Thorin's shield.

Thorin and Joey could see the sharp wooden thorns and finely dotted dark green branches and leaves on each vine.

"Da da da! Da da da!!"

The sound of countless vines and roots being directly cut off and torn apart gathered and sounded, and then a violent shock wave quickly spread outward, centered on the vine ball.

The torn vines and roots were connected to countless thorns and juice, scattered and smashed on the walls and stone steps of the passage, as well as the Sunderer and his party who suffered unwarranted disasters.

Thorin and the others quickly used their means to avoid and intercept these corrosive thorns and juice, while also keeping their eyes on the main body of the vines not far ahead.

"Squeak!!!!!"

After a soft, ear-piercing scream, a humanoid body covered in dark green juice, emitting a faint white smoke, was revealed.

At the same time, behind him, the Abyss Thorns, which had been cut to pieces, with the main trunk and core split apart, fell softly on the ground, and several vines that still maintained their approximate integrity wriggled unconsciously.

The few flower buds that were still showing off their power, like human heads, were now lifeless, like flowers wilted by hail, with countless petals scattered and softly wriggling down the stone steps.

"Why aren't you attacking yet!!"

The Fireball Technique that Sunderer had been preparing for a long time shot towards the figure in front at the touch of his staff, completely ignoring whether the figure was still breathing.

At the same time, Joey and Thorin also started at the same time, waving their weapons and shields at the figure whose face could not be seen.

At the same time, several scrolls were thrown out of the three adventurers' hands, trying to bring some help and blessing to themselves.

The figure covered in juice finally moved.

At the moment when the Fireball Technique was approaching, the Bone Severing Sword in his hand was swung powerfully, and the blade wrapped in countless juice issued a roar, directly colliding with the Fireball Technique.

"Boom!!"

The fireball suddenly burst, and then quickly shrank, it seemed that the vine juice that was casually waved over had a not small suppressing effect on the fire element, making the power of the Fireball Technique carefully prepared by Sunderer less than half of its full power.

However, the machete and one-handed heavy hammer of Joey and Thorin that followed directly smashed over, and Allen, who had revealed a pair of icy eyes again, turned the Bone Severing Sword back into two sword shadows, but it was Allen's double strike that he had not used for a long time, intersecting with the knife and hammer respectively.

The power far exceeding the previous long battle was fed back to Joey and Thorin from the impact.

The machete and one-handed hammer could not help but swing aside, and by the time they regained control of their weapons, Allen's heavy slash had already directly smashed towards Thorin.

"Hey!!"

Thorin lowered his breath to his chest and abdomen, and his legs were bent like a bow in a defensive posture.

At the same time, he raised his left-hand heavy shield to its full height, preparing to withstand Allen's heavy slash under full defense.

"Dong!!"

Allen's heavy slash directly split a heavy shield more than 2 inches thick in half.

Thorin, who was under the cover of the heavy shield, sensed something was wrong at the moment of impact.

While the bones of his left arm holding the shield shattered, the whole person abandoned the shield and rolled back on the stone steps without regard to his image, embarrassedly dodging the heavy sword that was slashed down, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, but he was directly injured by Allen's slash.

However, Allen was also slashed on the forearm by Joey's machete, revealing the arm guard he had obtained from the maze.

At the same time, another Fireball Technique issued by Sunderer directly smashed on Allen's chest.

The exploding fireball evaporated the juice on Allen's body for a while, making a sizzling sound, and also making Allen's figure involuntarily lean back, and then he twisted his waist to regain his balance.

Allen, who had finally used the Fury skill, had his strength increased by several levels.

Although he was forced to use 5 Raging Strikes in one go under the siege of the Abyss Thorns to escape, and then cut off the trunk and core of the Abyss Thorns, the heart beating fiercely under the Raging state brought a seemingly endless stream of Fury, making Allen not need to care about the consumption of Fury at this time.

Directly another Raging Strike attached to the Bone Severing Sword, splitting the heavy and solid heavy shield of the opponent with one sword, and making one of his opponents temporarily lose combat ability.

Every breath of Allen in the Raging state was extremely precious, so after balancing his posture, he launched a counterattack again, directly smashing a Raging Strike towards Sunderer in the distance, interrupting the opponent's spellcasting action.

At the same time, he moved his feet lightly, and pounced towards the place where Joey was standing with both man and sword.

"Hmph!!"

Having lost his left arm, So Shen, who was guarding the Bonecrusher, raised his shield to meet Alan's Wrathful Strike. However, his injured body was no match for Alan's full-powered blow. The force of the sword sent So Shen, along with his shield, crashing into the Bonecrusher he was protecting, and the two tumbled awkwardly up the stone steps. Joey, who was beside him, still wanted to dodge Alan's attack, but Alan's footwork, enhanced by Fury, was equally impressive. Not allowing the opponent to escape, Joey, seeing that he couldn't avoid Alan's heavy sword strike, gritted his teeth and poured all his rage and strength into his curved blade, intending to block Alan's heavy strike.

"Clang!!"

Although the Bonecleaver didn't cleave through the opponent's curved blade, it smashed Joey, along with his blade, directly into the stone steps, leaving deep footprints on the hard stone. Having taken Alan's heavy strike head-on, Joey coughed up blood, his eyes gradually losing their vitality. Alan's sword had directly shattered his internal organs, completely extinguishing his life force.

Poor Joey, after more than a decade spent pursuing a deeply cherished vengeance, ultimately lost his life at the hands of the enemy he had been tracking for years. His revenge didn't unfold like those novel stories; instead, Joey, the avenger, died because of his revenge, possibly even implicating his two dwarven companions.

"Captain Joey!!"

So Shen, scrambling up from the ground, called out Joey's name in sorrow, but received no response.

"Ah!!"

Wielding his heavy shield, So Shen, with bloodshot eyes, directly used the shield charge combat skill, rushing towards Alan.

On the other side, Thorin, still spitting up blood, shouted sharply, "No, So Shen!!"

Alan didn't have so much sentimentality. The opponent's willingness to die was naturally convenient for him. He poured his fury into a fierce and ruthless Triple Wave strike. The shield in So Shen's hand bounced back and forth between the tunnel walls, and he himself tumbled chaotically down the stone steps like a cannonball, his limbs seemingly completely softened and boneless, until he stopped after rolling more than ten meters.

"Brother!!!"

Thorin, barely managing to stand, couldn't restrain himself upon seeing this scene. Tears welled in his eyes as hatred and rage burst the blood vessels in his eyes, instantly turning them blood red. He staggered towards Alan for a final attack.

"Swish!!"

Alan didn't even look at the dwarf's tragic attack. The Bonecleaver flashed across the opponent's neck, and a round head rolled off his shoulders, slowly rolling down the steps, disappearing into the dark distance.

"Now it's just the two of us left!!"

Alan's eyes were fixed on the Bonecrusher, who had just crawled up from the ground and clumsily dodged So Shen's tumbling corpse. A fierce aura emanated from him, and after exhaling a long breath, he immediately launched a pouncing attack, giving the Bonecrusher no chance to cast spells.

"Cough, cough, cough!!"

The Bonecrusher coughed a few times, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then grinned hideously, opening his large mouth full of fangs and unleashing a 6th-level Dragon Breath spell, engulfing the not-so-wide tunnel. Alan's figure was directly submerged within.

"Bang!!"

Less than two breaths after the Dragon Breath was cast, Alan's dark figure, emitting a meaty and burnt smell, burst out of the Dragon Breath's range, and a headbutt slammed down hard on the Bonecrusher's head.

The Bonecrusher, struck by this blow, involuntarily closed his mouth, and the Dragon Breath stopped.

"Heh, heh, heh, heh!!"

Blood oozed from the Bonecrusher's mouth, but he instead let out a maniacal laugh. At the same time, his wrinkled hands desperately clung to Alan's waist, and his large mouth bit down on Alan's abdomen and back. The force was so great that it even tore his own gums, yet still couldn't break through the defense of Alan's custom-made Python Scale Armor.

"*\u0026%*..."

A muffled chanting sound slowly flowed from the Bonecrusher's mouth. Because the opponent was too close to his lower body, Alan couldn't wield the Bonecleaver effectively. Therefore, he clenched his left hand into a fist and punched the Bonecrusher's aging back, one punch harder than the last. The Bonecrusher's bones shattered, making cracking sounds, but still couldn't stop the chanting from the Bonecrusher's mouth.

At the same time, the Bonecrusher, enduring the pain that almost made him faint, tore open two scrolls that he had been holding in his hand for a long time. Two spells quickly took shape, completely enveloping Alan and the Bonecrusher.

A Grease spell created a large patch of grease on the ground where Alan and the Bonecrusher were standing, almost causing them to lose their balance; and a Web spell descended from the sky, trapping both of them in the net, making their entanglement even harder to escape.

Alan simply gripped the Bonecleaver's blade with his right hand, his bare palm grabbing a section of the blade, the tip pointing down, intending to directly insert it into the Bonecrusher's head, which was pressed against his chest and abdomen. But unexpectedly, he met the opponent's gaze as he looked up, a pair of turbid eyes giving Alan a look of triumphant cunning, and then a painful face suddenly broke into a crazy smile: "Jie jie jie~~"

A huge and mysterious energy surged from the Bonecrusher's pituitary gland, and then triggered his own magic power, causing a violent chemical reaction. The Bonecrusher's entire body seemed to be rapidly filled with air, suddenly expanding several times in size, and then a ball of fire emerged from his heart, immediately igniting his entire body.

The Bonecrusher actually took the initiative to stop the magic chanting, causing a magical backlash. The vast fire element connected to the Fire Meteor Shower turned his magic power and body into nourishment, turning him into a ball of blazing fire.

The grease transformed by the Grease spell on the ground, and the spider webs attached to the two of them, also became accomplices in the flames, further increasing the temperature of the fire.

Of course, the Bonecrusher had already breathed his last breath when he stopped casting the spell. Alan's unparalleled power had already shattered the Bonecrusher's internal organs. Several broken bones had pierced his heart and lungs. He had only used his tenacious will to persevere until he unleashed his final killing move, and then, with wide, bulging eyes, he exhaled his last breath, as if even in death he wanted to see Alan burned alive by the fire element.

A transparent soul slowly rose from the flames. Before it could react, a claw directly grabbed the transparent soul.

The Contract Demon Karl rarely enjoyed such a wonderful battle, watching with great interest. Now, after obtaining the Bonecrusher's soul, the rejection from the will of the plane had made the Contract Demon's mental body somewhat difficult to maintain.

"It's a pity, you still couldn't kill this strong hobgoblin!"

Although the flames were still burning, at least at this moment the Contract Demon Karl didn't find any signs of Alan's soul leaving his body, so he lamented to the soul body that had not yet adapted. As a spellcaster, the Bonecrusher quickly regained his senses even in his soul state, and his eyes were filled with misery, regret, and worry for his tribe as he looked at the scene before him.

"Time's up, we should go!"

The Contract Demon, pinching the Bonecrusher's neck, greedily glanced at the dark corner of the material world again, and then slowly disappeared into the air with the Bonecrusher's soul.

"Goodbye, my chil..."

The Bonecrusher, a powerful figure in the Green Wilderness area who established the Bonecrusher tribe and dominated the Green Wilderness for many years, finally fell in the depths of the Tagan Desert, in the underground of an unknown ruin.

The flames sizzled and burned. Just one breath after the Contract Demon Karl and the others disappeared, the fireball suddenly burst open, and a figure emitting a burnt, meaty smell, with several flames still attached to his body, rushed out of the fire.

Clumsily and weakly patting off the remaining flames, Alan laboriously took out a bottle of healing potion from the dimensional bag in his arms and poured it into his mouth, and at the same time slapped a scroll on his body. As the emerald green healing natural magic began to take effect on his body, Alan, whose face was disfigured, lungs were stinging from the burning, breathing was difficult, and whose body was full of the smell of cooked meat, finally felt a trace of coolness, and the pain on his body gradually faded.

Alan should have been happy that he had avenged his many years of hatred, but thinking about the life-and-death crises he had encountered in the past half-hour, Alan couldn't be happy. In the end, he was still being played by the Bonecrusher. If his hard strength hadn't grown beyond the opponent's expectations in recent years, the corpse lying on the ground today would have been Alan himself.

Slowly peeling off the dry and charred hard pieces from his body, these originally corrosive thorn juices ended up helping Alan a lot. If they hadn't helped suppress the power of the Bonecrusher's fire magic and isolated the bone-piercing flames, he might have become like the Bonecrusher, a flame that hasn't been extinguished even now.

Of course, the Python Scale Armor and his powerful Fury also helped a lot, allowing him to survive the opponent's magic. But even so, he was still seriously injured, especially the hot air inhaled into his internal organs, and the scorching temperature of the flames burning outside, almost cooked his internal organs. At this time, Alan was already at the end of his rope, and had lost his ability to fight in a short period of time.

Alas, since I can't write that kind of tragic feeling, let's simply change the writing style and show the Bonecrusher's ruthlessness.

A person who is ruthless to others is not considered ruthless. A person who is ruthless even to himself can be considered a ruthless person. At least this version of the Bonecrusher, in my opinion, should be considered a qualified and ruthless gnoll.

The death of the first carefully conceived supporting character is still a bit sentimental. I hope everyone can also like this version of the Bonecrusher's description.
