The two of them cast three rounds of magic, turning the area between Deucalion and Pan's allied forces and the Smurfs into a no-man's land!
Large numbers of Smurfs were slaughtered by Lu Ming and Lothric, so the remaining Smurfs were too frightened to approach and were all pushed back to a distance of ten meters. Only a few Smurfs who were seriously injured and unable to escape remained between the two sides.
However, soon, those Smurfs will also lose their lives.
Because the combined forces of Deucalion and Pan have begun their advance. (To be continued.)
Chapter Ninety-Eight - The Battle of the Capital (Part Two)
"My lord, right now, Deucalion of Erebus and Pan of Yaru are locked in a fierce battle with the Evil Spirit Church. Do you think we should join in the fun?" In a secret underground base in the capital of the Yaru Duchy, a shifty-eyed man asked a red-haired beast-eared girl with a fawning expression.
This beast-eared girl was none other than Falcels, who had been driven to desperation by Lu Ming in Anpu and had no choice but to flee to Yaru.
During these days, she has been causing trouble for Erebus's army. Although it hasn't had much effect, it has at least shown that she is also a player in this game.
So when she heard her subordinate's words, she immediately smiled and said, "Go! Why wouldn't you go?"
As she spoke, she looked at several modified half-puppet monsters resting not far away.
"Besides, they didn't achieve the desired results last time, so this time we should let them do a good job!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the puppet monsters woke up and looked at Falcels with fear in their eyes.
Falsilus was completely unconcerned. A monarch, of course, is someone to be feared!
Therefore, she didn't care how many people were afraid of her, as long as they obeyed her obediently.
As for those who are disobedient, death is the best way to deal with them.
"Have Kabutar send out all the puppet cultists. Today we will also be attending this grand feast!" As he walked step by step toward the exit, Falser turned around and revealed a dangerous smile.
-----------------------------------
An hour later, Farsels stood atop a high tower in the capital, coldly watching the Deucalion Cavalry of Erebus and the Pan Field Legion of the Duchy of Yaru fight against monsters summoned from nowhere by the Church of Evil Spirits, while also battling puppet monsters.
Watching Lu Ming being dragged off his horse by the puppet monsters and forced to fight them on foot, Falcels felt an indescribable pleasure.
"I never thought you'd end up like this! Hehehe..." Farsels chuckled eerily as he watched Lu Ming's arduous struggle from afar.
However, at that moment, Lu Ming, who was far away, suddenly cast a spell that froze all the puppet monsters around him!
"This is! The Puppet Sealing Order!? Damn it, where did this bastard learn insectoid magic from?" Watching Lu Ming kill his puppet monsters one by one with his sword, Falcels couldn't help but grit his teeth.
But she quickly calmed down, looked at Lu Ming calmly, and smiled, "Ramanras Unos is also your wife, so it's not surprising that you know the Puppet Sealing Technique. However, this spell consumes a lot of mana, so how many times can you cast it? Well~! Never mind, it's time for me to make my appearance!"
She took a deep breath, then roared like a Pharsell, and a pair of dragon wings burst from her back, breaking free of her clothes and unfurling in the chilly early spring wind.
"So, now, you Undead Legion guys, do you have the guts to face me?" With a slight smirk, Falcaire walked step by step to the edge of the tower, flapped her wings forcefully, and flew into the sky. Then, she quickly flew towards where Lu Ming was.
The sonic boom that erupted the moment the wings pierced the air caught Lu Ming's attention.
But as soon as he turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound boom came, a pair of hands with sharp claws grabbed his neck, and he was tackled to the ground.
Lu Ming collapsed heavily onto the corpses of several Smurfs. Before he could react, he felt two hands gripping his neck tightly.
Although he hadn't seen who the other person was, Lu Ming didn't hesitate and used his dragon claw to viciously grab the person's neck.
However, when the claws, enveloped in dragon-attribute energy, gripped the man's neck, they didn't tear his body apart. Instead, Lu Ming felt as if his hand had landed on sturdy, scale-like armor. This life-saving dragon claw attack not only failed to harm the opponent but also wasted his magic power.
"You ruined my previous plan, and now I won't let you ruin it again!" Falcears roared madly, his body covered in dragon scales as he gripped Lu Ming's neck tightly.
“Falsilus…” Grasping the other’s scaly hand with difficulty, Lu Ming finally saw her face clearly. It was a red-haired, beast-eared girl with scales covering her from the neck down. If it weren’t for the ferocious expression on her face, she would have looked somewhat like Yorshka.
However, regardless of whether Falcaires resembles Yorshka or not, her desire to kill Lu Ming is genuine. And Lu Ming, too, wants to live!
So when he was about to suffocate, Lu Ming struck out with a powerful palm, slamming it heavily into Falcaires' chest.
Before Lu Ming's hand touched Falser, a wave of malicious energy appeared in Lu Ming's hand and exploded the instant his hand struck Falser!
To be honest, Falcaires didn't care about Lu Ming's attack, because the dragon scales on her body were many times harder than those of Evanes. However, just as she was about to ignore Lu Ming's attack and forcibly strangle him to death, an uncontrollable fear arose in her heart, making her unable to control her body and involuntarily loosening her grip.
In that instant, Lu Ming seized the opportunity and struck out with another palm, slapping the malicious energy wave onto Falcelles. The shockwave from the explosion blasted Falcelles away from him.
However, although Falcaires was blasted away, she was completely unharmed. Or rather, any injuries she sustained healed on their own in an instant.
Climbing out of the pile of corpses of the Smurf monsters that looked like aliens and were called Heavenly Messengers, Lu Ming took out his phone, put away the Aries Staff, and exchanged it for the Farron Greatsword and its matching dagger.
Flying in the sky, Falcears coldly watched Lu Ming perform the Undead Legion salute. She herself took out her own weapon from her spatial ring, a longsword burning with pitch-black flames.
"Is this... the abyss?" Looking up at the longsword in Falser's hand, Lu Ming carefully sensed the flames. Then, the wolf blood in his body began to surge, making him sneer.
With a slight swing of his greatsword, Lu Ming called out to Ramanlas, Lothric, Tures, Yugluna, and the others not far away, "Head towards the noble district. The Church of the Evil Spirits and the magic circle that summons those monsters are over there. I need to settle some personal scores with this woman!"
Upon hearing this, they immediately led their soldiers and the undead army that had just joined them in the city towards the noble district, leaving Lu Ming and Hawkwood behind.
Holding the Farron Greatsword, Hawkwood walked step by step to a spot not far from Lu Ming. He glanced at Falcels flying in the sky and smiled at Lu Ming, "To conquer the Abyss?"
"Ha! Yes! A righteous two against one!" With a slight smile, Lu Ming launched an attack on Falcaires after reading the joke.
"It's really cold." Hawkwood smiled slightly and charged towards Falcaires with Lu Ming.
Faced with the combined attack of Lu Ming and Hawkwood, Falcears, relying on his extremely sturdy scales, disregarded whether Lu Ming had any help and landed directly on the ground to engage in a fierce battle with Lu Ming and Hawkwood.
With her longsword ablaze with black flames, Falcaire relentlessly attacked Lu Ming, ignoring the attacks from Lu Ming and Hawkwood. Only when the two of them thrust their greatswords at her unscaled face would she use her wings to block their attacks.
This situation was very unfavorable for Lu Ming and his companion. Their attacks had not caused any damage to Falcels at all, and even the usually invincible Farron Greatsword could not break through the scales.
Even during the initial phase of using Nitro Charge to enhance their speed, the two discovered that their attacks were utterly incapable of breaking through Falcels's scale defenses! Even Lu Ming and Hawkwood's most powerful slashes were ineffective.
This is somewhat similar to those so-called immortal dragons.
Left with no other option, Lu Ming hung the dagger at his waist, took off the Bell of Hope from his belt, and prepared to try and see if the Giant Thunder Spear could break through the scales on Falser's body...
-----------------------------------
Falcels's men, led by a mad alchemist in a white coat, hid a few hundred meters away from the Grand Duke's mansion, which had been occupied by the Church of the Evil Spirits. They watched coldly as Deucalion and Pan's troops suppressed the Church of the Evil Spirits within the mansion, preventing them from escaping from any direction.
Some of these people may have cooperated with the Evil Spirit Church in the past, but most of them do not have a good impression of the Evil Spirit Church, especially the mad alchemist, who was once captured by the Evil Spirit Church. If it weren't for Falcels saving him, he might have died under the torture of the Evil Spirit Church cultists.
"Lord Kabutar, what should we do now?" One of Falser's men, a shifty-looking fellow, approached the mad alchemist, looking completely lost, and asked him.
The mad alchemist, known as 'Lord Kabutar,' pondered for a moment and then said, 'If we allow the armies of Erebus or Yaru to reclaim the Grand Duke's mansion and help the young Grand Duke of Yaru secure his throne, then nothing we want to do will be possible! So we must act now, ensuring that neither the Duchy of Erebus nor the Duchy of Yaru can reclaim the Grand Duke's mansion or destroy the Evil Spirit Church! Even if the Grand Duke's mansion remains in the hands of the Evil Spirit Church, we still have a chance! If the Evil Spirit Church is destroyed, then the next target of the Duchy of Erebus and the Duchy of Yaru will definitely be us!'
Upon hearing this, the shifty-eyed fellow rolled his eyes and chuckled, "You're right!"
Immediately afterward, Kabutar waved his hand and said, "Follow me!"
With that, Cabral led Falcels' remaining men out of hiding and charged towards Deucalion and Pan. At the same time, they summoned the last batch of puppet monsters, who joined them in the battle outside the Grand Duke's mansion.
But he didn't notice that the shifty-eyed guy wasn't following them. Instead, he hid in a secluded spot, watching them go to their deaths with a cold laugh.
There were only a couple hundred of them in total, and even with the puppet monsters, it was only about five hundred. Against Deucalion, Pan, the Undead, and Yggdrasil, who numbered over ten thousand, they were simply no match for them.
He's not that stupid!
“Falsilus’s days are numbered. Even if he survives under Lu Ming and the others, he’s destined to amount to nothing. And Erebus, Tartarus, and Styx are not good places to go. Staying in Yaru is suicide. It seems the only option now is to go to Karksar.” After planning his future to himself, the shifty-eyed 'man' peeled off a layer of skin, revealing his beautiful face, which resembled both Falsilus and Yorshka.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore." Watching the men of Falcels being slaughtered one by one by Deucalion and Pan's soldiers in the distance, the girl, having removed her disguise, smiled and turned to leave.
Outside the Grand Duke's mansion, Torres and Ramanas were leading their soldiers in a fierce charge against Pharsels's men, quickly killing and decimating these villains.
The puppet monsters created by Kabutar and his alchemists and mages were almost entirely wiped out by the undead warriors using lightning spears and soul arrows.
From the moment they appeared on the battlefield to their annihilation, these people fought for only ten minutes, and then...
After Ramanlas beheaded Kabutal, the leader and last of Falcels's men, Deucalion and Pan's soldiers stormed into the Grand Duke's mansion, which had been occupied by the Church of the Evil for almost a month.
Outside the house, Deucalion, skilled in mounted combat, achieved great success, while inside the Grand Duke's mansion, it was Pan's domain, skilled in foot combat.
Despite their valiant fight, the members of the Evil Spirit Church were gradually cornered by Pan due to their weapons, armor, Pan's massive shield, and the cramped space inside the building.
The first place that Pan conquered was the room containing the magic circle used by the evil cult to summon monsters from the bloodline world.
After destroying the magic circle drawn with human blood by the evil cult, Pan's soldiers had no time to weep for their families who were carelessly piled up in the corner of the room. They immediately marched towards the residence of the bishops of the evil cult.
In the face of bloody hatred, curses and tears are useless. Only the blood of the bishops of the evil cult can bring peace to their families who died tragically. Therefore, those bishops of the evil cult must die, and the leaders of this cult must die!
Hatred and rage unleashed unimaginable power in Pan's soldiers, who quickly and completely crushed the Evil Spirit Church and captured all of its bishops except for a few who were not in the capital.
Just as the bishops of the evil cult were in a panic, not knowing what they were about to encounter, Vilka Hackz, surrounded by nobles who had not joined the evil cult and did not believe in their doctrines, sat in the seat that his father and brother had once occupied, coldly watching the bishops.
Despite his young age, the experiences of these past few days have made Grand Duke Vilca precocious and cruel.
With just one glance, she foretold the fate of those bishops of the evil cult.
"I, Vilka Hakz, Grand Duke of the Duchy of Yaru, hereby declare that you cultists of the Evil Spirit Church are to be executed! Feed them all to the shadow creatures!!" (To be continued.)
Chapter 99 - Dragon Hunting
Amidst the thunder, Lu Ming hurled the giant thunder spear in his hand at Falcels.
In that instant, Hawkwood, relying on his speed which had been enhanced countless times by Nitro Charge, blocked Falcears' escape route with his attack.
Left with no other choice, Falcaires had to forcefully take Lu Ming's giant lightning spear.
The result surprised Lu Ming, Hawkwood, and Falcears.
Although the giant lightning spear did manage to blast through Fal'Sels's tough scales, Lu Ming and Hawkwood were surprised to find that it only pierced a small portion of the scales. While it did cause Fal'Sels to bleed, it was only a minor injury. The only thing that made Lu Ming and Hawkwood feel a little better was that Fal'Sels's self-healing ability couldn't overcome the damage inflicted by the giant lightning spear.
This is what surprised Falcaires, and it is also the opportunity for Lu Ming and his companion to win.
"I didn't expect that the miraculous attack could actually disable the dragon blood's self-healing ability... But it doesn't matter. After a while, the body's self-healing ability will be able to heal such a small injury." Falcels muttered to himself as he glanced at the wound on his arm inflicted by the giant lightning spear.
As she spoke, she looked at Lu Ming and his companion, flapped her wings, and with a powerful stomp of her feet, charged towards them at a speed even faster than Lu Ming and his companion.
However, Lu Ming and Hawkwood weren't lambs to be slaughtered by this madwoman, Falcils. Relying on their intuition and speed, they were able to evade Falcils's attacks. However, Falcils's speed was astonishing, involuntarily reminding Lu Ming of the Evanes he faced in the capital.
Honestly, Evangelines was stronger than him. Even under the control of the will of the entire Undead Legion except Hawkwood, he almost died at Evangelines's hands. And if Yorshka hadn't arrived in time that time, he might have already died.
This time, in order to survive, he had to be more careful, lest he not only fail to win but also be killed by his opponent.
After dodging Falsilus's attack, Lu Ming quickly flashed to a hidden spot and shook the Bell of Hope.
Although the bell would lure Falcels over, by the time she arrived, Lu Ming would already have the Giant Thunder Spear or the Sun Spear ready.
So when Falcears heard the clear sound of the Bell of Hope, he didn't rush to the place where the sound came from. Instead, he looked for Hawkwood, who, like Lu Ming, had also hidden himself.
Suddenly, a sound like something being kicked came from a small alley to the right of Falcaires.
Immediately, Falcels smirked and charged towards that spot.
However, as soon as Falcears stormed into the alley, the person who came into view was not Hawkwood, but Lu Ming holding a talisman.
"How could this be..." Falcaires stared at Lu Ming in astonishment, unable to comprehend what had happened.
But just because she can't figure it out doesn't mean Lu Ming will show her mercy.
Just as Falser was momentarily stunned by the surprise, Lu Ming used the amulet in his hand to unleash the Sun Spear, and without saying a word, he hurled it at Falser while she was off guard.
