Looking at these elven dragon slayers, whose strength was far inferior to that of Ricard, Lu Ming couldn't help but ask Kemias, "What's wrong with them? Why are they so weak when they are supposed to be dragon slayers?"
Upon hearing this, Kemias smiled slightly and replied, "They are dragon slayers created by the elves using secret techniques to unleash their power. Their actual strength is only 57 percent of that of a true dragon slayer. So of course you would think they are weak."
"So that's how it is. I really didn't expect the elves to possess such secret techniques. It's just a pity that these elves were used on our Kingdom of Miracaissa, instead of those damned Church of the Deep!"
"There's nothing we can do about it; it's all because of the Elf Queen's militaristic ways."
"Ha! You must be exhausted, Camillas."
"I'm tired? How about you?"
Chapter 43 - The Encirclement Battle (Part 2)
On the battlefield, one side was Miracaiser's army, which had devoted itself wholeheartedly to its campaign, meticulously planning and launching a pincer attack. The other side was Aifa's army, which was first caught off guard by the golems, then burned by the sonic dragons' fireballs, and finally bathed in a rain of lightning spears by Miracaiser's Yogg-Sotus cavalry. The superiority of one side over the other was obvious to anyone with discerning eyes.
As the commander of the Elven army, General Roas could naturally see that the current situation was extremely unfavorable for their Aifa Empire.
The repeated surprise attacks have severely damaged the morale of Aifa's soldiers. If they cannot eliminate some key figures in Miracaiser's army to boost morale, even with a large number of soldiers, they may not be able to turn the tide.
So he chose to charge at Lu Ming on horseback, intending to use Lu Ming's head to boost the morale of his side.
Furthermore, he believed that even if Lu Ming could cleave through the protective energy, he wouldn't be a match for him. Unlike those half-baked dragon slayers created by secret techniques, he was a genuine dragon-blooded warrior, far superior to those useless individuals!
The problem is that Lu Ming isn't the only formidable figure in Miracaissa's army; they also have the old man from the Azkra tribe, who, like General Roas, is a dragon-blooded warrior.
When General Roas charged toward Lu Ming, the old man immediately spurred his horse and charged over, intercepting Roas halfway. He relentlessly attacked Roas with his fierce internal energy, preventing him from attacking Lu Ming or doing anything else.
Without General Roas's command and presence, the elven army descended into further chaos. Although they continued to fiercely resist Miracaiser's attacks, they were already largely unable to mount a counterattack. A complete reversal of the situation was now impossible.
However, while Lu Ming and Kemias were working together to deal with the elves who had been turned into dragon slayers by the elven race's secret techniques, they both diverted some of their attention to the fused elf, lest they be caught off guard by this guy.
Perhaps noticing this, the fusion spirit smiled at Lu Ming and Camillas, clapping its hands as it walked towards them.
Snap... Snap... Snap
Step by step, he walked among the remaining elven dragon slayers. The fused elf looked at Camias, General Roas's daughter, and laughed, "I never imagined you would betray the Aifa Empire. But that's not important! What's important is that you will die a horrible death!"
"Who lives and who dies is still uncertain," Camias said calmly, before unleashing a sword slash at the fused spirit.
"Heh! That's true. But, young lady, your attack seems a bit weak! You don't think I'm some nobody, do you?" The fused elf sneered, casually unleashing a powerful, profound soul strike that directly neutralized Camias's sword aura.
"A Deep Soul? No! This is a Powerful Deep Soul." Upon seeing the magic cast by the fused spirit, Lu Ming frowned, gripped the Farron Greatsword and the Bell of Hope tightly, and looked at the fused spirit with a wary expression.
Upon seeing this, Camias knew that the spirit before her was the monster created by Kaguga's research. To better deal with it, Camias dismounted, took out an amulet, and prepared to work with Lu Ming to kill this fused spirit.
Seeing the wary expressions on Lu Ming and Kemias's faces, the fused elf couldn't help but lick its lips. Because of its reliance on its own kind, it was cursed by the elven gods; its power would continuously drain away, and when it had all been lost, it would die. Therefore, it had to gain power through consumption—more and more power—otherwise, it would perish.
Therefore, in his view, Lu Ming and Kemias were not enemies, but two pieces of meat that could bring him a lot of power. As long as he ate them, he could live for a very long time, enough to sustain him until he found another piece of meat that could bring him a lot of power.
However, instead of hoping for those two tough chunks of meat, it's better to eat some small pieces first! At least that's what the fusion spirit thinks right now.
Taking advantage of the fact that most of the mediocre dragon slayers created by the elves using secret techniques were focused on Lu Ming and Camillas, they suddenly exploded, surging towards the mediocre dragon slayers like a black mud wave.
Immediately, the half-baked dragon slayers panicked. In terror, they attacked the black mud with elemental qi while fleeing in all directions.
Unfortunately, the fusion spirits had no intention of letting them go, and their own qi attributes were not effective against the fusion spirits, so they were quickly captured and slowly melted and devoured by the fusion spirits.
However, at that moment, a jet-black lightning spear suddenly struck the black mud that the fused spirit had turned into, instantly blasting that part of the black mud away and killing a spirit that was half melted!
Under the attack of the black lightning spear, Black Mud was forced to revert to his fused spirit form. However, at this moment, his right hand was completely black and incomplete. Clearly, this was the wound inflicted by the black lightning spear; the spear had injured him.
He was puzzled as to why Kaguga's powerful, abyssal soul couldn't harm him, while the black lightning spear from before could. Was it due to the difference in their attributes? Or was it because of the different users?
The Black Lightning Miracle is a miracle of the (Hunter's) organization's guardian deity, Roya. Therefore, the user of this black lightning spear is naturally the only (Hunter's) member on the battlefield—Lu Ming. Compared to him, Kaguga is indeed not very good; whether in terms of strength, magic power, or the magic he has learned, he is far inferior to Lu Ming.
But no matter what, there shouldn't be such a big gap!
Because he was injured by Lu Ming's Polar Day Spirit Spear, the fused spirit realized for the first time that his body was not perfect; at least, someone could injure him. And being able to injure him meant that he, too, could be killed by a powerful opponent!
This is definitely not what he wanted to see.
The fusion of hundreds of spirits' lives into this single monster embodies a thirst for life that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Therefore, the fused spirits gradually became hesitant and cautious, afraid to launch attacks recklessly.
"Although I don't know what you are, if you, like Eldridge, gain power by eating people, I will utterly destroy you!" Seeing the fused elf hesitant to attack, Lu Ming gently shook the Bell of Hope, gripping another Midday Spirit Spear in his hand, preparing to deliver a heavy blow to the fused elf!
Before Lu Ming could even make a move, the fused spirit suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha~......" He laughed loudly, his body twisting and contorting involuntarily, until finally a large number of arms, eyes, and mouths grew from his body, turning him into a complete monster!
"Perhaps I am not as good as the Deep Saint now, but didn't he also become the Lord of Cinder by eating people? I can also become the King of Plu!" The fused elf, who had become a monster with a distorted face, many hands, many eyes, and many mouths, slowly stopped laughing, looked coldly at Lu Ming, and frantically declared his twisted ambition.
"Heh!" Lu Ming and Kemias didn't react to this, they just sneered and began to attack the fused spirit with the Polar Day Spirit Spear and the Giant Thunder Spear.
The source of power for the fused spirits is the Deep and the Holy Stone, but because of the sin of devouring its own kind, the power given by the Holy Stone has long since disappeared.
The Deep, like the Abyss, is a dark power that is strongly countered by lightning and fire. Even the Deep Saint, Eldridge, has little resistance to lightning and fire, making him easily overwhelmed and killed by a group of lightning and fire attacks.
Therefore, when facing this fusion spirit that was almost as strong as Eldridge but much weaker, Lu Ming and Camias were not flustered at all!
Based on the idea that "the first to strike wins, and the last to strike suffers," the fused spirits chose to launch the attack first!
It rushed towards Lu Ming and Camillas at lightning speed, its dozen or so twisted arms unleashing a dozen powerful, abyssal soul fragments at them. These soul sediments shrieked like ghosts as they charged towards Lu Ming and Camillas, emanating a terrifying aura that even caused the air temperature to drop.
However, Lu Ming's single Polar Day Spirit Spear shattered half of the powerful abyssal souls. Kemias's Giant Lightning Spear also dispersed most of the remaining powerful abyssal souls. The remaining two or three powerful abyssal souls posed no real threat to Lu Ming and Kemias; a slight dodge was all it took to easily evade their attacks.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity, the fused spirit quickly rushed in front of Lu Ming, preparing to turn into black mud and swallow Lu Ming whole.
Unfortunately, at that moment, Lu Ming suddenly struck out with his palm, hitting the fused spirit.
"Lightning Palm!" With a soft shout, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded, instantly sending the fused spirit flying.
The Deep Abyss fears thunder and fire, so Lu Ming's attack caused great damage to the fused spirit. Even though the fused spirit tried its best to defend, it was still hit by the lightning palm and a charred spot appeared on its body.
Knocked away, the fusion spirit forcibly twisted its body in mid-air, attempting to land smoothly on the ground and launch another attack on Lu Ming and Camillas. But in that instant, Camillas's Giant Lightning Spear struck it, and Lu Ming also unleashed his Divine Speed, slamming his Lightning Palm viciously into the fusion spirit once more!
In an instant, the fused elf flew out again, traveling dozens of meters before landing, rolling several times on the ground, and crashing into a group of elf soldiers.
Upon seeing that the thing that had knocked them down was a fused spirit, the spirit soldiers immediately screamed and scrambled away, fearing that the fused spirit would eat them.
"Is this all just superficial injuries?" Lu Ming frowned involuntarily as he watched the fused spirit get up from the ground, its body seemingly unharmed except for a few charred electric shock marks.
"The Farron Greatsword cannot be enchanted. Using Firewood or Black Flame is not a good solution. I think you should change your weapon!" Kemias said to Lu Ming with a smile after glancing at the fused spirit.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming nodded silently, then sheathed the Farron Greatsword and replaced it with a hunting straight sword from the (Hunter) Organization. He also took out the Ancient Lightning Stone and imbued the hunting straight sword with lightning. Immediately afterward, Lu Ming tossed the Ancient Lightning Stone to Camias.
Camias caught the lightning stone and imbued her weapon with lightning, ready to play with the fused spirit alongside Lu Ming. She wanted to show him that familiars weren't just something to be chased after. Being stronger than a familiar was nothing to her!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Ramanlas was leading the knights of Yogg-Sotus, bombarding the elven army with powerful lightning spears.
Warhorses neighed, thunder roared, and Miracath's army's blades drove the elven forces into a rout until they had nowhere left to retreat.
With tens of thousands of troops charging ahead and the golem legion besieging them from behind, the elven army was caught in a dilemma, facing a dead end whether they moved forward or retreated.
But perhaps due to the pride of the elves, none of these soldiers chose to surrender.
With nowhere left to retreat, they gripped their weapons tightly and charged towards Miracaissa's army.
Winsland and his companions had not anticipated that the elven army would launch a desperate counterattack, and the elven army forcibly pulled the situation back somewhat.
Because the elves had a numerical advantage in soldiers, the Miracathian army led by Winsland and others gradually began to struggle after the elven army launched a full-scale counterattack. Although they still held the upper hand, their advantage was nowhere near as overwhelming as before.
However, among the many troops in Miracath's army, Yogg-Sotus's achievements were still quite remarkable. Relying on sharp weapons and powerful miracles, they charged back and forth through the elven army, mercilessly crushing any elven troops that dared to fight them!
However, while battling the elven army, Yogg-Sotus's commander, Ramanrasunos, would occasionally glance towards the battlefield where Lu Ming was. Before the attack began, they had agreed that Lu Ming and Kemias would hold off the fused elves, while she would lead Yogg-Sotus to defeat the elven army as quickly as possible, and then go to support the two of them to eliminate the fused elves.
However, the elven counterattack has prevented Ramanlas from quickly getting there to provide support, which makes him very uneasy.
But at that moment, the earth suddenly trembled, and a cavalry legion of 80,000 men suddenly charged toward them from the direction of Slanlot Castle.
Some sharp-eyed knights, upon looking at the army, spotted the black and red dragon banners fluttering in the wind and immediately shouted to their companions, "Reinforcements!! It's our army of Tartarus and Erebus!!"
Upon hearing this, the entire battlefield was ignited.
With reinforcements arriving, their numbers were no longer suppressed by the elves, and their morale soared. They began to charge at the elven army with even greater ferocity!
"Damn humans!" Roas, who was entangled in a fight with the old man of the Azkra tribe, cursed as soon as he saw Miracaiser's reinforcements arrive. In a flash, he turned into a lump of black mud and rushed towards the fused elves.
The fused elves, without hesitation, abandoned Lu Ming and Kemias, transforming into black mud and surging towards the elven army... (To be continued...)
Chapter 44 - Fusion Spirits
"What!?" Seeing that General Roas had also turned into black mud, Roas's daughter, Camillas, was shocked. She found it hard to believe that such a powerful elf as Roas could be eaten by a fusion elf that was not very strong and that she and Lu Ming could easily defeat, and that the fusion elf could mimic him and turn him into his appearance.
However, it is indeed true that Roas, the elven general and a hero of dragon blood, was eaten by the fused elves. Moreover, a portion of the fused elf transformed into Roas's likeness to control his army. But how exactly Roas was eaten remains a mystery.
Hundreds of meters away, the fused elves were feasting on their meal, devouring the bodies and souls of the elven army amidst their wails, ultimately merging into one. Tens of thousands of bodies, spirits, and souls were fused together at that moment, transforming into a terrifying black mud monster that roared in terror.
"This guy has many twisted souls inside him, be careful." Leila, who was residing in Lu Ming's Fran ring, suddenly spoke up to warn Lu Ming.
Compared to the living, this ghost could see the true nature of the fused spirit far more accurately: a monster formed from a multitude of twisted souls entangled together.
"If that's the case, this monster is really disgusting!" Looking at the fusion spirit that kept melting and devouring the bodies of its fellow creatures, Lu Ming felt a sense of disgust.
"Can we really deal with this guy on our own? He was already so difficult to deal with after only consuming a few hundred Pokémon. Now he's eaten at least tens of thousands of Pokémon, so his strength should be comparable to a demigod, right?" Camias asked Lu Ming with some concern, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the fused Pokémon.
"It devours its own kind. Do you think the elven gods will let it go?" Unlike Camillas's worries, Lu Ming was not worried about the strength of the fused elf monster. On the contrary, he felt that the fused elf was not as difficult to deal with as Eldridge.
As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, a beam of green light descended from the sky and struck the fused elf, forming a very peculiar seal that sealed away most of the fused elf's power. Enraged, the fused elf used countless mouths to loudly curse the elven gods.
However, because it spoke the language of the elves and its voice had become very strange, almost no one except Kemias could understand what it was cursing. They could only tell from its furious tone that it was cursing.
The seal of the spirit god has locked the upper limit of the power of the fused spirits. No matter how many spirits it devours, it cannot increase its power. Moreover, the rate at which its power is draining is becoming increasingly faster, four or five times faster than before!
This filled the fusion spirit with deep fear. It now wanted to survive, so it had to eat, and keep eating!
In order to survive, the fusion spirit had no choice but to begin devouring humans and beastmen, even though it affected its body and consciousness. It was capable of doing anything to survive.
Eat! Eat non-stop! For this purpose, the fused elves poured their muddy bodies toward Miracaesar's army.
Upon seeing the black mud surging towards them like a tidal wave, Miracaisar's army, almost entirely composed of cavalry, immediately spurred their horses and fled to avoid being devoured. Only a few weaker, poorly equipped, and extremely mixed groups of soldiers were swept into the mud.
With a "ding!" sound, Lu Ming's phone suddenly rang. When he took it out, he saw that he had received a message with no beginning or end.
Help me kill it.
The short message, without a sender or explanation, sounded like a command, leaving Lu Ming completely bewildered. However, looking at the fused spirit and then at the message, Lu Ming seemed to understand something.
This is a message from the Elven god, whose purpose is to ask Lu Ming to help eliminate the fused elves.
Although somewhat bewildered, Lu Ming knew that this was already the greatest concession the elven gods had made. After all, like the elves, their gods were extremely proud and rarely asked for favors.
However, even without this news, Lu Ming would still have killed the fused elf black sludge monster to prevent it from eating things indiscriminately and causing unrest in the Kingdom of Miracaissa, thus making it impossible for this small lord to live his life.
Holding the Hunting Straight Sword and the Bell of Hope, Lu Ming walked towards the Fusion Spirit. With each step, he gently shook the Bell of Hope, quickly conjuring a jet-black lightning spear, which he then hurled at the Fusion Spirit.
The jet-black lightning spear, with a deafening roar, shattered the air's restraints and struck the fused spirit in an instant, blasting a large hole in its black, mushy body. Part of the black mud was evaporated by the lightning of the Polar Day Spirit Spear, and a portion of its soul was also blasted away, causing the fused spirit to scream in agony!
Suddenly, countless eyes sprouted from the fused elf's body, shooting out powerful and profound souls, numbering in the tens of thousands!
