Green Monster Epic

"It's here!!"

The elven male suddenly uttered two decisive syllables, and the eyes of several powerful figures in the deep cave passage, who were facing each other solemnly, revealed killing intent, and several weapons had already been unsheathed.

"70 miles southeast, and it will pass within 3 miles south of our cave in no more than 1/5 of a magic hour."

The elf's brain raced. As archmages, mental calculation ability was only the foundation for their pursuit of magical truth. In just a breath, they had already calculated the target's speed and arrival time very accurately through the crystal ball's prediction.

"Apart from the target, there are no other legendary powerhouses within a few hundred miles. Everyone can take action with confidence!!"

Just as a team of powerhouses was hiding in the cave, concealing their powerful auras, an inconspicuous signal arrow soared into the sky. Soon after the signal arrow rose, two figures of wilderness natives suddenly appeared in the Wurt Stone Forest area, where few people existed. After looking at each other, they suddenly erupted with killing intent and wrestled with each other.

One of the wrestling figures was a gnoll, and the other was a kobold. Their movements became increasingly anxious, as if there was a life-and-death feud between them. The combat power they displayed was also not to be underestimated, at least they were both of high-tier strength. From time to time, several powerful scrolls exploded, but both sides seemed to be prepared, and the scrolls did not hit the target. Instead, under the effect of skillful force, the scrolls that had not fully revealed their magic were thrown into the sky, turning into ripples in the air, which were very dazzling.

"Eh??"

The ogre demigod, Black Guard, no longer needed to deliberately consider the consumption of body energy when flying in the air. As his physical body gradually combined with the infinite energy in his body, forming a carrier that connected to the source of invisible magic power in the air at any time, he already possessed some of the power of a god.

Therefore, aerial flight, which might require some reservation in the eyes of legendary powerhouses, was an extremely simple and easy matter in the eyes of a demigod, just like breathing air.

Black Guard had just returned from visiting another tribe, and the gains were not great, but he had reached a consensus with the other party that they would advance and retreat together with him in the Alliance Council. This gain was not bad, and it would give him more say in the council in the future.

After all, as a tribe that was relatively close to humans, they were already a relatively rare camp in the wilderness. However, the terrain of the Thorns of Thorns ogre tribe, which was located in the north, could not empathize with the battle situation in the south. If they were to go to war with humans, the Thorns of Thorns tribe would be in the rear for a long time. This was also the reason why Black Guard readily accepted when humans initially bought him off.

The magical ripples rising from the ground from time to time aroused some interest in Black Guard, who was leisurely on his way. The Wurt Stone Forest had complex terrain and had always been the best choice for murderers to hide. Looking at the actions of the two little guys below, it was probably another case of infighting among accomplices due to uneven distribution of spoils.

Originally, as a demigod powerhouse, Black Guard might not have looked down on the wealth of two natives whose strength was only high-tier. However, Black Guard had a habit that he considered to be extremely good, that is, he never disliked the fact that mosquitoes had little meat. Since he happened to encounter these two guys who were obviously not good people fighting among themselves, he did not mind spending some time to gain some benefits from them.

Of course, the most important reason was that Black Guard had taken a fancy to the armor on one of the warriors. It had just activated a magic spell to withstand a fatal ultimate move from his opponent. Obviously, the value of this armor would not be too bad, at least it was a mid-tier magic equipment, which was enough for Black Guard to take action.

The ogre's huge body was ostentatiously revealed. Black Guard did not seem to be preparing a sudden attack. The tyrannical aura descended from the sky, immediately attracting the two warriors who were tearing at each other. The two natives looked up at the sky, and their expressions suddenly changed. On the spot, they unhesitatingly exchanged a slash, and using the recoil from their opponents' weapons, they directly fled in two directions, without any procrastination.

Faced with the reaction of these two warriors, Black Guard's eyes were filled with amusement, and a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. At the same time, a large hand directly grabbed towards the kobold on his left. The ogre's palm overflowed with intense power, directly driving the air in front of him, forming a fierce air cannon, which immediately chased after the kobold who was gradually moving away.

In two or three breaths, there was a tremor in the rocky stone forest. A stone mountain more than ten meters high was directly reduced to powder, and the kobold's figure was also tumbling in the strong shock wave, watching as it crashed into the countless sharp stone mountains, leaving behind streaks of blood.

After a successful strike, Black Guard turned his head to look at the gnoll on the other side, his eyes revealing a cruel aura like a cat playing with a mouse.

Knowing that something was wrong, the gnoll directly burrowed into the stone mountain, actually intending to play a game of hide-and-seek with the opponent.

"Tsk tsk, boring!!"

Black Guard's body slowly landed, feeling the desperate aura of the gnoll, gradually moving away. With a casual wave, a tall stone mountain collapsed, and the ground shook, opening up a straight road for him, pointing directly to the gnoll's aura that was still fleeing ahead, and continued to spread forward.

Dong!! Dong dong!!

The naturally formed stone forest environment that had existed for countless years welcomed an unwelcome guest today. Countless strangely shaped stone mountains and pillars were turned into rubble and powder under Black Guard's fleshy palm, closely following the approaching gnoll's aura, and continued to spread forward.

The gnoll calculated the position in his mind, his eyes full of desire for life. Even if he was originally a death warrior used as bait, and his purpose was only to lure the target into the trap, it did not mean that he really hoped to die here.

As long as he could lure the target into the trap before the target behind him completely killed him, so that the real powerhouses arranged in it could take action, then he would have a glimmer of hope. For this glimmer of hope, the gnoll used all his skills, constantly shuttling and changing direction in the stone forest. Although he could not stop the increasingly closer tremor behind him, he was only less than 300 meters away from his target.

After turning another corner ahead, he could see the location of the cave. Seeing that there was hope of survival, the gnoll's eyes were even more focused, and he stepped heavily on the ground, making his movements even faster. At the same time, the several scrolls inserted in his waist and inner armor finally came in handy at this time. Cloud Mist Technique, Darkness Technique, Wind Sweeping Clouds... all were thrown out without any regard for cost, turning the space behind the gnoll into a blurred space.

Dong!!

Pfft!!

The space behind him was originally empty, but suddenly it seemed as if an invisible weapon had appeared, directly smashing the gnoll away, hitting the surrounding stone mountains and pillars, leaving behind streaks of blood. Behind the gnoll, a majestic and bloated body slowly walked out of the gray and white mist and smoke. The wind blades of the wind magic struck Black Guard's fat body, like a spring breeze brushing his face, leaving behind faint ripples, and then dissipating silently, completely unable to cause any harm to Black Guard.

"Slippery little mouse!!"

The gnoll's body, which had collided countless times, was still wriggling after landing on the ground. This was somewhat beyond Black Guard's expectations. It seemed that the magic power activated by the armor on his body at the critical moment was not bad, at least it blocked more than half of the power, so that he could leave a life. However, the more this was the case, the happier Black Guard was in his heart, which also meant that the value of the armor on his body was even more prominent.

Slowly walking to the front of the other party, a pair of bloated fleshy legs that stubbornly squeezed out of the leather boots and armor gaps stopped in front of the gnoll. Black Guard, who looked down at this unlucky ghost, no longer hesitated, and a fleshy palm slammed down towards the gnoll's unfamiliar face.

The gnoll watched as the approaching fleshy palm got closer and closer, and the look of fear in his eyes slowly dissipated, suddenly revealing a bit of relief. It seemed that his life as a death warrior for decades had come to an end.

Black Guard's vision was blocked by the fleshy palm, and he did not see the relief in the gnoll's eyes, but just as his fleshy palm was less than a few centimeters away from the gnoll's face, the magic in the sky suddenly surged, and the air suddenly seemed to become solidified.

Sensing something was wrong, Black Guard directly retracted the palm that was about to crush the gnoll's head. As the ground shook, his body shot straight into the sky, about to leave, but at a height of more than ten meters, he was bounced back by a seemingly thin but actually tough magic shield.

Boom!!

Several stone cones in the ground collapsed with a bang. Amidst the dust, countless vines drilled out of the soil, wriggling towards the center of the dust and rubble like living things. In the ground, the soil slowly rippled, just like a calm water surface being dropped with a stone, countless rubble was swallowed by the ripples and disappeared without a trace.

Oscar and the elven male, as casters, took the first action. After another masked man activated a small magic lock hidden in the stone forest, sealing hundreds of meters of space, two range-based control spells enveloped this space on the spot.

"Humph!!"

In the center of the smoke and dust, a cold shout sounded, and then the ground controlled by the magic lock shook for a while, countless broken vines, rubble, and even huge stone mountains flew into the air, hitting the translucent magic shield, splashing out bulges that seemed to be about to break free, but the shield was full of toughness, and bounced these objects back with even greater force.

Allen's anger surged throughout his body, and the heavy sword in his hand, which was not handy, turned into a cold moon, easily knocking away a dozen messy rubble and vines. At the same time, his body and the other legendary powerhouses pulled away a certain distance from each other, and fiercely charged into the smoky land that was coming at him.

Dong! Ding! Dang!

The figure that lunged in retreated even faster than they had charged in, then crashed awkwardly against the translucent barrier. Allen's heart sank. The Triple Wave, a technique layering destructive heavy strikes, super heavy strikes, and heavy strikes, amplified once more by the Fury skill, filled him with an unstoppable momentum. He directly and fiercely collided with the mountain of flesh that stood unmoving before him.

Boom!!!

The already fragmented and sunken ground was once again violently torn apart, but under the effect of the magic lock, the countless surging forces were contained within the narrow space. Eventually, the barrier expanded and contracted, and the ground undulated back and forth, creating a scene as if the end of the world had arrived.

Allen's body was deeply embedded in the barrier, bounced back and forth countless times. By now, his arms hung limply, and even the slightest movement sent piercing pain through him as he leaned against the barrier.

The pain in his body, however, brought Allen some peace of mind. In the instant of the impact and backlash, Allen's sword-wielding arms had completely lost sensation. Moreover, the two-handed greatsword he had temporarily grabbed as a makeshift weapon, barely reaching the level of a magical weapon, had been directly broken into several pieces at the point of impact with the demigod's spiked club.

The fact that his arms still throbbed at least proved they were still attached to his body. Allen exhaled a long, heavy breath, his eyes scanning the battlefield still shrouded in flying dust.

The scene gradually cleared as a sheet of frost directly solidified the earth. The elven mage's legendary spell, Eternal Ice, finally succeeded in freezing even the air itself after Allen and the others relentlessly held back Black Guard. The dust, having lost its medium, clumped together, mixed with air crystals, and fell to the ground.

"How dare you!"

Black Guard, his entire body frozen into a glittering, translucent block of ice, projected his mental power through the frost, making each of his attackers feel as if they were facing his direct fury. Within the ice crystals, clusters of light were being reflected, and an energy with a hint of divine power enveloped the ogre's towering body, continuously melting the ice crystals on his body. The water droplets that flowed out were instantly transformed back into ice crystals by the elven mage's infused magic.

Crack!

The humanoid ice crystal that was Black Guard slowly began to move his arms, causing countless cracks to gradually appear on the integrated ice crystal body, then gradually expand and spread throughout his body.

Snap!

The shattered ice burst open, and Black Guard forcibly and violently broke through the legendary spell Eternal Ice with his demigod body. Wielding his arms, he scattered countless ice shards. Allen and his companions felt a cold current rushing towards them, and ice crystals formed on their bodies, seemingly freezing the boiling blood within them.

Even the aftereffects of the spell possessed such power. Allen couldn't imagine how the demigod Black Guard within it was able to withstand such a powerful spell.

However, when the ice crystals dissipated and Black Guard's mountain of flesh was once again revealed before Allen and the others, his ornate armor was already dull and broken, his flabby white flesh flapping about. His disheveled appearance was even more miserable than Allen and the others, which brought some comfort to Allen's group.

At the same time, another powerful cloud of spells enveloped Black Guard. Oscar, the legendary Natural Healer, although not strong in killing enemies, was, after all, a druid. With the help of Allen and the others, and the elven mage, he finally completed his strongest spell—Wrath of Nature.

The dark clouds that appeared out of nowhere already had streaks of lightning surging within them before they could completely cover the sky. The broken vines and roots on the ground were now infused with magic and regained their vitality, instantly growing into huge branches and lush leaves, then transforming back into pythons, rolling and entangling Black Guard once more.

The lightning bolts in the sky, now following the entanglement of the vines, were like predators seeking their prey. Dazzling light accompanied by thunder directly struck the ground with a whooshing sound.

Allen and the others dared not approach. Because of the magic lock, they could only huddle in this narrow terrain, and at this moment, they were like lions with their manes standing on end, each hair waving in the air under the effect of static electricity. The current that occasionally came from the metal armor and weapons made Allen's body tingle from time to time.

"You will all die!!"

The continuous series of attacks forced the demigod Black Guard to remain in a defensive posture. Apart from gaining a slight advantage in the initial exchanges with a few combat professionals, Black Guard had been restricted by the magic of several spellcasters in this assassination squad in the subsequent encounters, limiting his powerful physique and forcing him into a passive defense.

The ground shook more and more violently as Black Guard struggled with all his might to break free from the rolling soil and vines. The strikes from the lightning bolts followed certain physical laws and were attracted by his thick spiked club and the metal armor covering most of his body, creating countless silvery-white currents that crackled and surrounded Black Guard.

Of course, it couldn't be said that there was no effect. Each lightning bolt from the sky forced Black Guard to expend more energy and will to resist being paralyzed by the lightning axe's effect. However, the increasingly charred state of his body, emitting a faint smell of cooked meat, was naturally a trace left by the lightning energy.

Each heavy blow of the spiked club caused the earth to shake and the mountains to sway, while the countless vines and roots derived from the Wrath of Nature constantly broke and shattered, only to be restored to their original state. Both sides were engaged in a silent contest.

Under Oscar's bronze mask, beads of sweat faintly seeped out. On the other side, the third legendary spellcaster was clearly not a mage. Perhaps because it was difficult to cast powerful spells at this time, he was constantly applying negative spells such as Slow and Weakness Curse to Black Guard, occasionally casting one or two frost and earth spells. However, his spellcasting time was extremely fast, much faster than the elven mage next to him.

Until the dark clouds in the sky gradually dimmed, when the last lightning bolt twisted and fell on Black Guard's head, the several combat professionals who had recovered once again launched an attack in tacit agreement.

At the same time, the passively defending Black Guard finally let out a long roar towards the sky, and a gleam flashed in his pair of fist-sized pupils, turning into a fiery red color. His flabby flesh contracted rapidly with the roar, revealing the solid muscles deeply buried underneath.

Raising a large foot, the ground, transformed into solid rock by altered geology, which firmly restricted Black Guard's lower limbs, directly shattered.

Thump!

Having finally gained his freedom, Black Guard dared not be negligent. Before his remaining thigh could break free, he twisted his body, and the spiked club in his right hand swept horizontally, smashing directly at a combat professional charging in front.

Allen once again took out a confiscated two-handed sword from his dimensional bag, and while his companions held back Black Guard, he mustered all his strength and unleashed the strongest strike of the Triple Wave. The injuries in his arms had been mostly restored under Oscar's healing spells. Allen knew clearly that to resist Black Guard with his own strength, he had to hold nothing back.

Since he had agreed to the assassination mission, Allen had never intended to hold back, especially since everyone was now restricted in the narrow magic lock environment. If he didn't fight desperately and thought about holding back, as the weakest presence on the field, Allen would definitely be the first to be killed. Although he had Oscar, a natural ally, by his side, Allen had never had the habit of entrusting his life to others.

Several powerful figures, without exception, although their moves were astonishing, were repelled one after another in the face of the demigod's berserk attacks. The only advantage was that they echoed each other. Although their coordination was not very tacit, their combat skills and vision still managed to intercept Black Guard.

Allen had already pushed his speed to the limit. The fierce wind pressure coming towards him directly dragged the skin of his cheeks back, as if someone was desperately pulling him from behind. In front of him, the shadow of the thick spiked club grew larger and larger. At the moment of contact, Allen's muscles squirmed, and he mentally prepared to meet the huge backlash.

Allen had a clear understanding of his mission. As long as he could stop Black Guard's advance and buy time for the elven mage and Oscar to recast their spells, that would be enough. As for challenging a demigod with his mere early-stage legendary strength, that was simply wishful thinking. If it weren't for the relentless efforts of his companions, Allen would have been severely injured and forced to flee after at most half a magic hour.

Boom!!

Allen's body turned into a phantom and was once again sent flying by the backlash. However, this time, he was extremely unlucky, only bouncing off the barrier once before crashing into the ground, not knowing how deep he had sunk.

And Black Guard finally moved back two large steps for the first time in a head-on confrontation, stopping his lunging motion. Taking this opportunity, the legendary spell that the elven mage had just prepared was once again cast with the staff in his hand, and another ice crystal directly condensed on Black Guard's lower body.

At the same time, the ice crystals penetrated the ground, merging with the hundreds of meters wide land, firmly welding Black Guard in place.

On the other side, the third legendary spellcaster finally took out his most proficient spell, a gray-brown ray shot from his staff, directly hitting the flesh covered by Black Guard's tattered armor on his upper body.

Pfft!!!

Black Guard was struck hard, and a mouthful of blood with a golden luster gushed out. The ray seemed to have little power, but in reality, it directly targeted and damaged the internal organs beneath the strongman's flesh.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the space covered by ice crystals, hiding in Black Guard's blind spot. A pair of cold, radiant, ghostly blue daggers fell mercilessly directly onto Black Guard's back, who was struggling and temporarily unable to move.

Swish!!!
