Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 47 Everything is going as planned
"Nini, come here." Zeus glanced at the banshees in the distance. He had now signed a symbiotic contract with all the banshees. Suddenly, he found that he could communicate with all the banshees directly through his mind.

Perhaps because too many contracts had been signed, the strength of this mental connection had greatly increased. Although the range had not expanded much, communication was still possible even if there were obstacles in between.

Of course, the distance cannot be too far, but the area must be enough to cover the current battlefield.

Looking at the banshees surrounding the monster and cooperating with each other to protect each other, he suddenly had a bold idea.

The banshees are now very loyal to him and will directly execute his orders. His orders can reach all the banshees directly. Does this mean that
Can he micromanage now?

Suppressing the urge to act, Xius asked Nini, "Can your flesh and blood magic withstand being directly surrounded by pollution? What is the cost?"

"The energy consumption is very high. With our abilities, we can only sustain it for a short time." She pointed to the banshees in the distance who were taking turns charging at the monster. "But as long as we coordinate well, we should have no problem maintaining it for a short time."

"Okay, then I'll follow you and we'll take a closer look."

"Ah?" Nini was dumbfounded. "Isn't that too dangerous?"

"If you run into trouble, just take me away. You guys are much more flexible than the other party, and my plan needs to be close to it."

"What plan? Wait, I mean, no matter what plan you have, you can't take risks. We can win without your plan."

Nini's eyebrows raised and she crossed her arms over her chest. She made up her mind that she would never let Xius take any risks again.

"What if my plan can save Monica?"

The expression on Nini's face froze.

"Ash, there's something wrong. She's getting stronger too fast!"

One of the tribesmen shouted to Ash.

Ash frowned. The monster Monica transformed into was more troublesome than she had imagined. The tribesmen kept taking turns to consume it, but the more they consumed it, the stronger it became.

The Banshee's physical strength has its limits. Although she is in good condition now, it is not a good idea to continue to lose strength.

It seems I have to take some risks.

Just when Ash made up his mind, he suddenly caught a glimpse of blonde Nini and Hughes being carried by her.

The Banshee is much taller than humans. Nini carried Zeus with two hands, and the remaining four hands could still move. The weight of Zeus did not have much impact on Nini's movements.

It’s just that the expression on Nini’s face is a little weird.

".What are you doing?"

"Ash, I'll be in charge from now on!"

Ash didn't hesitate for a moment and nodded directly: "Okay."

"Stand back a little and cooperate with me later!"

"Also, catch this!"

Nini threw something over, Ash raised his hand to catch it, and when he looked down, he saw it was a shield.

That was the tower shield Nora was carrying. Zeus had just called her over to pick it up. The tower shield, which was originally too huge for Nora, seemed just right in Ash's hand.

"I'll tell you what to do in a moment!"

After saying this, Zeus closed his mouth. He had to communicate with nearly all the Banshees at the same time, so he didn't have the energy to speak anymore. Suddenly, Zeus' voice echoed in the Banshees' minds, and he began to tell everyone what they needed to do.

The Banshees' originally loose encirclement suddenly became tighter, and the monster that had been harassed constantly suddenly found that no one was coming forward anymore.

It immediately rushed towards the nearest banshee, which turned and fled.

The monster followed it for a few steps, and suddenly found that it could not move forward.

Several banshees rushed up from both sides, activated flesh and blood magic, and resisted it.

As it looked to both sides, the banshee behind it also rushed up.

It was surrounded by a whole circle of banshees, squeezing it in the middle, unable to move.

The black pollution roared and spread all around, but it all slid down the bodies of the banshees. The banshees simultaneously activated their flesh and blood magic, and the monsters could do nothing to them, at least for now.

The hill-like monster used its twisted limbs to madly attack the surrounding banshees, but the flesh and blood magic itself could block most of the damage, and the banshees that were hit turned pale and then quickly recovered.

The symbiotic contract allows their vitality to be transferred through Zeus, and injured banshees will be healed instantly.

The mountain-like monster was actually trapped for a moment!
Nini did not participate in the siege. She carried Xiusi and moved quickly around the monster. Finally, she found a blind spot.

"Now!" Hughes shouted.

Nini stopped, then slightly tilted her body, and the three arms on her left side firmly grasped Xius, swinging slightly backward.

The next moment, her muscles exploded with strength, and she spun around like a bow with a loose string, throwing Zeus forward!
Zeus hit the monster like a cannonball!

Time seemed to slow down. The monster noticed the movement behind it, turned slowly, and caught a glimpse of Zeus out of the corner of its eye. Its twisted limbs roared and smashed towards him.

A tall figure appeared beside Zeus. Ash raised his tower shield and blocked the monster's attack!
The monster was as big as a mountain, and its limbs had unimaginable strength. Even with all six of Ash's hands pressed against the shield, he was still forced to retreat step by step.

She let out a low growl, and her whole body became like a female leopard, with her muscles bulging. She pressed against the shield tightly, leaving a gap for Zeus.

The pollution fell on both sides of the shield, like a storm hitting a small umbrella, and immediately stained her body. Ash's magic power was overdrawn and she could no longer release flesh and blood magic.

But the taint simply slid off her body, it was flesh magic!
She glanced at her snake tail and saw a hand grasping the tip of it.

It’s Nini!
Just after Nini threw out Zeus, Ash immediately raised his shield and charged forward.

As she passed by Nini, she used her other three free hands to grab the tip of Ash's tail.

Ash was too fast, and both her hands missed, but—it was enough!

As long as there is physical contact, you can release flesh and blood magic for the other party!
If they need to maintain their own flesh and blood magic at the same time, the banshees will have almost no spare energy to release magic for others. They have to gather together as a group to barely cast magic for one member of their tribe.

But Nini's position will not be affected by the pollution, she just needs to release it for Ash!

The Banshee's long, slender tail did a great job, as Ash was covered in contamination, but Nini, who was holding her tail from a distance, didn't get touched at all.

"Everything went well. Now it's up to the lord."

Nini and Ash looked at each other, then looked at Hughes, their faces filled with worry.

Nini did help Ash release the flesh magic, but Hughes didn't have it!
