You are all my wings!

A suction wind!

Magic -3.

This attack was aimed at the other thigh of the Water-Swallowing Ape that Bovary had just slashed.

Both thighs were bleeding profusely.

However, because the Water-Drinking Ape's body is so large, the amount of blood it sucks out doesn't seem to be enough to cause it much damage.

Ignoring the sucking wind, the water-swallowing ape regained its balance, pulled its feet out of the small swamp, opened its huge, dark mouth, revealing fangs and a thick, fleshy tongue, and then its chest and abdomen bulged dramatically.

BOOM!!!

A thick jet of water shot out from the mouth of the water-swallowing ape.

He was facing Karl, whose combat skills had been blocked.

Karl managed to hide his body under the door panel sword, but in the chaos, his shoulder was already hit by the aftershock. The sharp water arrow tore through his silver plate armor, turning his sturdy left arm into a festering mess of blood.

He mustered his magic and muscles, his face contorted with rage as he gritted his teeth and braced himself against the door-shaped sword, withstanding the pressure of the water arrows. His body was forced backward by the immense pressure of the water arrows, causing the rocks beneath his boots to cave in dramatically.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Despite his injured shoulder, he managed to withstand the pressure from the water arrows.

He truly deserves to be called Britta's strongest knight.

Seeing that it had no effect on Karl, the water-swallowing ape continued to spew water arrows, turning its head to sweep the water arrows around.

Rumble!!!

The surrounding walls were riddled with holes and craters from the water jets.

The other three knights were fairly agile, and Karl had taken the first hit, managing to dodge in a sorry state. Although they were all hit by the aftershocks and lost a few points of health, their overall situation was still not as serious as Karl's.

At that moment, the water arrow swept towards Lyon.

Leon, holding Iris who hadn't finished chanting, activated Shadow Step.

Magic -2, Stamina -2.

call out!!!!

He instantly teleported more than twenty meters away.

With a significant increase in agility and a slight increase in strength, the distance he could teleport using Shadow Step while holding Iris was six or seven meters longer than when he dealt with the white unicorn.

At this moment, Iris's long chant finally came to an end.

Leon could sense that at least 20 points of her magic had been mobilized.

The magic wand in her hand also gathered a large amount of magic power, emitting a very bright magical light.

Intermediate spell, Light Piercer!

Above the Water-Swallowing Ape, a hundred thick, hard cones of light suddenly condensed and plummeted down with a crash as Iris waved her wand.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

The light cones fell like a torrential rain.

The Water-Swallowing Ape met this wave of intermediate elemental magic head-on.

Its head tilted back, and the water arrows swung back and forth, using their powerful impact to deflect some of the light cones off course.

However, the consequences of its previous overuse of the throat water arrows have become apparent; due to firing too many at once, the magic of the water arrows is about to dissipate.

Therefore, the water rocket missed part of the light cone.

Yet most of the light cones continued to shoot towards it.

The water-swallowing ape could only protect its head and face with its arms, and high-speed streams of water gushed from all over its body hair to dissipate the impact of being struck directly by the light cone.

Even so, dozens of holes of varying sizes were still pierced in the parts of its body that it couldn't protect.

That is, it is over eight meters tall and has a huge body, so these holes don't look disgusting.

Although Iris's attack animation was long, with Leon's help, it could avoid being interrupted by the Water-Swallowing Ape, and the Water-Swallowing Ape basically absorbed 60% of the magic's effect.

Lyon estimated that this attack had taken away at least a dozen points of its health, and also created favorable conditions for him to unleash more of his Suction Wind.

After the Light-Breaking Cone's effect wore off, the knights approached and unleashed their battle techniques to continue their slashing attacks.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Flowing Water Shatters Iron

The Water-Swallowing Ape withstood a wave of chanted intermediate-level light elemental magic without being stunned. Facing the three charging knights, it roared and its long tail swept out horizontally like a whip, swift and fast, whistling sharply as it rubbed against the air.

"Damn it!"

Bovary, who charged the fastest, was in trouble. The distance was too close, and he couldn't dodge in time. He had no choice but to take the blow head-on.

In his haste, he raised his sword to block in front of him, his body contracting as magic gathered to protect him.

BOOM!!!

Under the enormous impact, Bovary's facial muscles deformed as if stretched rubber.

"shit!"

The long tail whipped him away, sending him flying thirty meters away, where he crashed directly into a solid stone wall beside the main road.

puff!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and slid down the stone wall.

That one hit took away at least 10 points of his health, and combined with the injuries he had already sustained, his health was almost half gone.

Not only him, but Milo and Mark, although they rushed slowly and dodged in time to avoid being directly hit, were also constantly punched and kicked by the Water Swallowing Ape, making them busy and dangerous.

If it weren't for Leon's timely activation of the combined magic Swamp from afar, which allowed him to properly control the attack rhythm of the Water-Swallowing Ape, these two would have been crushed to death like those third-tier knights on the 25th floor before.

Iris didn't prepare any more intermediate-level spells. Instead, she continuously and rapidly cast the basic spell Light Cone to attack the blood hole left behind from a distance.

This also slightly slowed down the speed at which the Water-Swallowing Ape suppressed Milo and Mark.

Because Karl, the main tank, is missing, trying to cast a mid-level spell now would only result in the two tanks at the front being killed.

Even with Iris's swift action, the battle situation still made Lyon frown.

The difference in combat power is too great.

Although those knights were strong, they couldn't deal much effective damage against a powerful fourth-tier monster with maxed-out physical and magical resistance.

Not only did they fail to deal effective damage, but even the two tankiest and best angle-finding units suffered significant damage.

Are we going to have Iris use the Radiant Light again?

Combined with the Ice Crystal Lens, this move will definitely deal more damage than the Light-Breaking Cone.

However, the problem with this move is that it requires distance. If the distance is too close, the light will disperse and it will not be able to form a powerful beam, making it impossible to concentrate a large area of ​​light into a high-temperature heat line.

Given the current situation, unless Britta intervenes, relying solely on these four wounded knights to buy them time is clearly not an option.

Leon has a way to deal with the water-swallowing ape, but his current team is not enough.

His intermediate-level magic, Hurricane Flame Bullet, is fast to activate and quite powerful, but each wave consumes about ten points of magic power, so it can only be used for a crucial strike.

While pondering a solution, he didn't stop working, continuously using the suction wind and the small mud swamp to suppress the speed of the water-swallowing ape.

The Water-Swallowing Ape is a powerful fourth-tier monster. Logically, it should have at least double the attributes of its tier, which is an average of 80 attribute points. Some attributes will definitely be higher, such as strength and health, which are certainly more than 80.

The total damage dealt to it so far is estimated to be only 27 or 28 points. More than half of that was contributed by Iris, a quarter by Leon's suction wind, and the rest was left by the knights.

Of course, without the knights holding the line at the front, Iris and Lyon wouldn't have been able to cast their magic so easily.

At this point, Bovary and Karl recovered and prepared to join the battle.

Leon took a moment to wave to the two of them, and then cast two basic water healing spells on them.

Magic -2.

After his advancement, his magic reserves were much more abundant. He still had 25 magic points left and had only used 2 stamina points. He had already stuffed the meat in his inventory that could speed up magic recovery into his mouth and chewed it quickly.

As long as I don't cast intermediate-level spells, my magic power is still sufficient.

Moreover, he is now an elemental mage, so even his ordinary water healing spell is much more powerful than the normal version.

It's unlikely that their external injuries can be healed instantly, but restoring them to combat readiness temporarily shouldn't be a problem.

Sure enough, as Leon's healing spell landed, the two who had been relatively weak showed a clear improvement in their condition.

Putting everything else aside, its analgesic and hemostatic effects are absolutely superb.

The way the two looked at Lyon changed slightly.

Karl channeled his magic, his muscles bulging, his face turning crimson, and with a roar, he charged forward:

"I want to do it again!"

It seems he's not giving up on the chance to show off his fourth-tier combat skills and is going to try again.

As he leaped into the air, magic swirled around the door-shaped sword, and the extremely sharp sword light finally fell with his slashing motion.

This time, because Leon had created several small swamps, the Water Swallowing Ape was constrained by them and lost its balance again. It did not notice Karl accelerating from a distance and was instead struck in the chest by this slash.

Special Impact Slash!

BOOM!!!

The sharp magical light blade, combined with the immense force of the door panel sword, slashed a four-centimeter-thick, nearly one-meter-long gash in the chest of the water-swallowing ape.

Lyon's eyes lit up. The chest was closest to his heart—a perfect opportunity!

He started sucking again!

Magic -3.

call out!!!!

High-speed cyclones form instantly.

An even more powerful jet of blood spurted from the Water-Swallowing Ape's chest.

The wound clearly involved an artery, and the gushing blood was much higher than before.

The combined effect of these two attacks should be comparable to Iris's Light Piercing Cone, cutting off more than ten points of the Water Devouring Ape's health.

In other words, the Water Swallowing Ape's health may only be half left!

The Water-Swallowing Ape roared, its fist wreathed in high-speed water jets, and slammed towards Karl, who had just landed.

It is its other offensive skill, Flowing Water Shattering Iron Strike!

It is a powerful skill that combines physical strength and magic power!

Moreover, its powerful physique provides high physical resistance, which prevents it from being stunned every time it takes a powerful attack.

At this moment, Karl's body was still sore from forcibly activating a fourth-tier combat skill, and he had no way to dodge the punch that followed.

BOOM!!!

His door panel sword had barely held on for a moment when his wrist couldn't withstand the immense force, and the door panel sword was directly blown away by the flowing water at the tip of the Water Swallowing Ape's fist. Then, his chest took the brunt of this fierce punch!

Bang!

Karl wasn't sent flying; he stood still and took the impact of the high-speed water flow from the punch, but most of his bones were crushed!

Critically ill!

With just one punch, Karl, who was already seriously injured, had his health bar almost depleted and was in danger of dying at any moment.

Bovary, shocked and enraged, rushed over, grabbed Karl, and quickly retreated.

The Water-Swallowing Ape punched Milo, who had just finished using a third-tier combat skill.

Crash!!

Just as he was about to be hit, a gust of wind swept over, blowing Milo back several steps, causing the Water-Swallowing Ape's punch to miss.

It was Lyon's emergency activation of a basic wind-based spell, Gale!

"Iris, aim the long-chanted Judgment Spear at the wound in your chest, turn the power up to the maximum, I'll take care of suppressing it."

As soon as Leon finished speaking, he drew his second-tier magic sword and charged forward.
