Green Monster Epic

"Pfft!!!"

A mouthful of black-green blood spurted out, leaving three or four deep, bone-exposing wounds on Allen's body. The once complete black dragon scales now resembled tattered rags on a beggar, riddled with holes and many scales broken.

Determined to eliminate the biggest threat, Allen had directly abandoned guarding against the attacks from behind, resulting in the uncertain fate of the three casters within the Sacred Sanctuary spell, while Allen himself was branded with marks by the seven legendary powerhouses behind him.

"..."

Allen casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smeared it on his face, making his appearance ferocious and imposing. Before the opponents could launch an attack, Allen, dragging his wounded body, took the initiative, heading straight for the seemingly weakest among them.

Clang!! Clang!!

Several weapons intercepted him halfway. Allen deflected a few weapons with a slash, but then countless impacts resounded, constantly diminishing the force of Allen's sword. By the time Allen's greatsword reached its target, the momentum was spent, and the opponent easily retreated to a spot over a dozen meters away.

After stalling Allen, the other powerhouses retreated one after another upon seeing Allen switch targets, determined not to confront this demigod powerhouse head-on.

On the ruined ground, the irregularly shaped wooden egg that had been summoned and fused by magic earlier finally underwent another change. Huge tentacles formed from intertwined vines and branches extended from the tattered eggshell, brandishing wildly towards the source of the powerful life aura in the sky.

Although temporarily deprived of its summoner, the summon's instinct still allowed it to immediately identify the most threatening presence in the field. Therefore, Allen, radiating a strong aura of danger, became its first target.

"... Cough cough!!"

As if plowed over, an arm suddenly emerged from the damp soil, followed by the caster wearing an owl mask, who struggled to climb out of the soil while coughing incessantly.

When he looked up and saw the summon he had created by gathering the surrounding lush plants now indiscriminately attacking the powerhouses above, the caster wearing the owl mask suppressed his piercing pain and focused on reconnecting with the wooden summon, which resembled a deep-sea monster, and clarifying their targets.

The owl-masked assassin probably never imagined that as a dignified demigod druid tasked with ambushing the demigod gnoll to contain the main force, he would be unable to withstand even a single blow from the gnoll and would be the first to lose most of his combat power.

Who would have thought that the powerful protective spell cast by a legendary mid-tier cleric, Sacred Sanctuary, would be directly crushed by the target of the assassination!

At least, reflecting on himself, the owl-masked figure realized that even if he exerted all his strength, he would not be able to achieve such a feat. Even among the strongest people he knew, it seemed that no one had this ability without using divine-grade equipment.

Perhaps only the earthly representatives of the gods, the popes of the major religions, possessed such great power.

The original plan was to incorporate the gnoll into the Mists, then have himself cast a legendary-level nature summoning spell, summoning a powerful natural companion as a helper, and then transform himself into a demigod-level magical beast as the main attacker, slowly eroding the power of the demigod gnoll with the assistance of the other legendary powerhouses.

The plan did start smoothly. Someone was constantly tracking and reporting the gnoll's route through secret methods, and finally, they all chose this hilly area to set up an ambush, easily confining the gnoll within the Mists.

However, the subsequent developments were unexpected for the ambushers. The gnoll suddenly launched a fierce attack, willing to injure himself to eliminate the three casters first, causing the situation to immediately develop in a direction unfavorable to the ambushers.

Two caster companions were annihilated in the previous fatal blow. The owl-masked figure believed they were not as lucky as he was. As a demigod druid who had personally endured that earth-shattering blow, he had only managed to escape by transforming himself into an exotic gemstone turtle and relying on the magical beast's unparalleled defensive abilities and self-enhancing protective spells. However, his internal organs were now severely damaged, and he had lost most of his combat power.

The Sacred Sanctuary spell was originally intended as a powerful means of protecting the three casters from attacks, but when it was ruthlessly crushed, it became a cage from which the three casters could not escape, forcing them to withstand the demigod berserker's killing blow with their physical bodies.

If this protective spell had not existed, the three casters would not have been unable to dodge or parry. The owl-masked figure did not know what methods the other two had, but he himself had two magical items that could teleport him, which he could activate at any time to escape to a safe place.

The owl-masked figure smiled wryly in his heart, then composed himself and quickly chanted a spell for self-healing, while also pouring down a bottle of precious potion for assistance.

Above the sky, Allen weaved between countless vines while also dealing with the persistent entanglement of the seven legendary powerhouses. The heavy injuries on his body made it difficult for him to cope, and the two sides were temporarily locked in a stalemate.

Thud!! Thud!!!

The greatsword, carrying Allen's immense power, directly severed two tentacles of the wooden monster that were trying to engulf his body and drag him to the ground. At the same time, Allen leaned forward on the tentacles, suddenly changing direction and crashing into the arms of a sword dancer diagonally.

A legendary assassin suddenly revealed his killing intent from behind Allen, his twin daggers aimed straight at Allen's temples. Sensing the danger, Allen twisted his waist, and his right leg kicked diagonally upwards towards the assassin's lower abdomen.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin retracted his daggers and thrust downwards, instead aiming at Allen's lower abdomen.

Bonecleaver was suddenly raised by Allen, who was suspended upside down in the air. The entire slender adult gnoll transformed into a windmill, and the greatsword simultaneously abandoned the sword dancer not far away and smashed towards the assassin.

Boom!!

Allen's body swung backwards and avoided the assassin's twin daggers, but the Bonecleaver in his hand was blocked by a heavy shield at the same time. After receiving support, the assassin suddenly pulled out a phantom and fled into the distance, reconnecting with the shadow plane to prepare to hide.

The sword dancer behind him took the opportunity to wield his twin swords, and the sky was filled with the flashing of cold sword shadows, engulfing Allen's body like a storm.

Clang clang clang!!!

Allen withstood the sword dancer's first two swords, adding a shallow wound to his body, and then his right hand swung Bonecleaver from left to right, the wide blade sweeping in front of him, emitting a crisp metallic sound against the sword shadows in the sky.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the other legendary powerhouses had seized the opportunity and were once again surrounding him from all directions. Allen's solemn face remained unmoved. His left hand grabbed the hilt of the sword and added another surge of mental energy, simply allowing the sweeping greatsword to continue rotating. The momentum of the whirlwind sword quickly stirred up a hurricane, raging endlessly within the Mists space.

Several legendary powerhouses skillfully dodged, while the massive summoned creature on the ground became the biggest target of the sword technique. The creature once again extended countless tentacles, turning into a cage that squeezed towards the center of the hurricane. Cracking sounds rang out continuously, and countless fragments of wood and vines flew in the sky.

When the sword technique stopped, the dilapidated ground was covered with countless lifeless pieces of wood, and the size of the huge creature had shrunk by several circles, but it was still not destroyed by Allen.

The source of magic power surged within the creature's body, and the summoned creature, wriggling and crawling on the ground, continuously absorbed the remaining plants along the way, trying to restore itself to strength. Seeing this situation, Allen frowned slightly, his face unsightly, but at this time he could not continue to prevent the summoned creature from self-healing, as those few tenacious fellows had already surrounded him again.

With a triple wave, he slashed one person away with his sword, and at the same time, an elbow strike collided head-on with the warhammer that was smashing down. The demigod's powerful body and strength sent the two guys who were fighting him head-on flying out on the spot.

Turning around, he used his sword to protect his back. With two crisp sounds, the small, ghostly assassin disappeared in a flash. After his assassination attempt failed, he did not linger and fled far away, connecting to the shadow plane again, and only returned after being sheltered by the shadows, continuing to hide in the dark like a poisonous snake, searching for Allen's flaws.

… … … …

The duration of the Frenzy skill finally ended, and the aura of his battered and scarred body suddenly declined. Moreover, the blessing of the dragon power from the black dragon scales had long ended. Allen, who had fallen into a period of weakness, suddenly saw his strength drop significantly, allowing the eight legendary powerhouses fighting him to immediately notice the abnormality, and the frequency and intensity of their attacks became even stronger.

The Night Owl Masked Man on the ground slowly opened his eyes. Under the treatment of divine magic and potions, his dilapidated body finally recovered somewhat. Although it was certainly impossible to display his full strength, he at least had the power to fight at the moment.

His mental power was projected far onto the summoned creature, and he observed the target's situation through shared perception. At the same time, he did not forget to use his dominant status as a summoner to direct the wood-type summoned creature to launch a more meticulous and effective attack.

“Roar!!!!!”

A green magic halo enveloped the Night Owl Masked Man's body. As the halo disappeared, a six-armed long ape with a height of more than four meters slapped its chest and let out a low roar.

Several weapons, including a scimitar, a long sword, a battle axe, and a shield, had appeared on the ground at some point, each different. After he bent down and picked them up, he immediately kicked off the ground and went straight to Allen, who was entangled with the various powerhouses in the sky.

Allen had already seen the movement on the ground. Just as the opponent rushed into the sky, he also suddenly exerted his strength, his arm muscles bulged, and a powerful sword energy swept towards the surroundings, forcing back four or five assassins around him. Then, he turned back and charged towards the opponent who was rushing up from the ground.

Allen did not expect that one of the three spellcasters from before could have survived, and the aura displayed by the other party after transforming was also unmatched by the other assassins in the field.

As a demigod, feeling the pure energy similar to his own from the other party, Allen immediately judged the real threat among this group of enemies. Therefore, without hesitation, he once again erupted with strength and forcibly activated the Frenzy skill halfway.

Pa ta!!

A tentacle formed from vines pierced in from the side, binding Allen's waist tightly. The delighted wood-type summoned creature immediately exerted its strength to drag Allen to the ground.

“Get lost!!”

Allen did not retract the greatsword, but instead dragged the tightening tentacle and continued to press down on the six-armed long ape under his feet with unwavering determination.

The huge wood-type summoned creature tried to stabilize its body, but in the contest of strength, the summoned creature, which was far more majestic than Allen, failed to overwhelm Allen. Instead, it was dragged forward step by step, and the roots that were deeply rooted in the ground could not stop this momentum.

At the same time, a legendary assassin, who had been watching Allen's resolute posture, suddenly revealed his true form from behind him, and a dagger emitting a blue luster went straight for Allen's back heart.

“… … zak … …”

Allen burst out a syllable from his mouth, and a light flashed on the necklace on his chest. A crystal clear ice shield appeared behind Allen, separating him from the legendary assassin.

Kacha!!

Kacha!!

A crisp sound was the powerful ice shield magic being penetrated by a fist-sized hole under the full blow of the legendary assassin. Countless cracks also appeared on the originally smooth shield surface, and it was about to lose its protection. Another crisp sound was the tentacle of the summoned creature entangled with Allen being torn off by Allen's amazing brute force. The incomplete tentacle that had lost its main body also slowly slid down from Allen's waist.

Dong!! Ding!!

The greatsword slashed down without any skill, but the tip of the spear that the six-armed long ape under his feet had stabbed first accurately hit the blunt blade. The spear shook, almost breaking away from the long ape's control. Fortunately, the warhammer and heavy shield then met it, once again intersecting with the greatsword, which barely resisted Allen's slash, but its upward rushing body was smashed down by Allen for more than ten meters, and it was about to fall on the ground.

At the same time, the other weapons in the six-armed long ape's hands, such as the long sword and scimitar, slashed towards Allen's body in several directions.

“Humph!!”

Allen exerted his strength again with both arms, and the veins on his neck bulged. The six-armed long ape only felt a mountain falling on his three intersecting weapons, and his body could not stop falling to the ground. The opponent's strength was so great that the long ape had to retract the weapons that were about to stab Allen's body and instead land on the greatsword's blade, otherwise this greatsword, which was constantly pressing and approaching his neck, might be able to behead him with one sword.

Pu!!

The ground sank deeply under the feet of the six-armed long ape, and the long ape's tall body was directly buried in the wet and soft soil to the chest, but he finally blocked Allen's heavy slash.

A strong wind attacked from behind, and Allen flicked his long sword smoothly, and the long ape in the soil was lifted up like pulling a radish and slid into the distance. The lifted greatsword also blocked Allen's back before the strong wind behind him approached, and then several strong impacts hit Allen one after another, causing him to stagger involuntarily and fly in the direction the long ape was sliding.

But this was exactly what Allen wanted. The earth bear goblin in the air twisted his body and made a 360-degree reverse rotation. The greatsword suddenly burst into red light, and several huge energy blade waves separated from the sword body and swept towards the pursuers behind him, temporarily stifling the opponent's pursuit.

After doing all this, Allen faced the long ape again, and the other party also stopped the decline, regrouped, and roared, with several weapons clanging above his head.

The distance of more than ten meters simply did not exist in the eyes of the two demigods. With a step each, they had already collided together again.

Boom!

The fierce energy storm stirred up countless dust and broken wood on the ground, rolling back and forth in the maze, forcing several legendary powerhouses to temporarily avoid its edge and hide further away.
