Chapter 37 Legion-level war puppet
"Bang." A metal manipulator pressed on the edge of the corner. Even if it was a hundred meters apart, the appearance of the manipulator could still be clearly seen, which shows the size of the manipulator. The rumbling footsteps sounded again, and the manipulator was followed by the body. A humanoid puppet with obvious goblin characteristics walked out of the corner and pressed the wall.
From the outside, the head of this metal puppet is very similar to that of the goblins. It has the same pointed ears, the same slender and tall nose, the small head, and the short neck, which are completely made by the goblins according to the appearance of their own race. However, it is the biggest difference from the goblins. It has a height of nearly eight meters, and the rest of the body is also magnified in proportion. Such a giant body makes the sewers around you - even in the huge sewers with a diameter of twenty or thirty meters - still seem a bit crowded and urgent. However, although it is slightly crowded, the space around it is enough for it to walk and fight normally, and will not have much impact.
"What is this?" Catherine looked at the giant in front of her in a daze, and asked while backing, "Vivian, do goblins have such puppets?"
"Although it's not very common, it's indeed a goblin." Vivian also sweated coldly on his forehead and gritted his teeth and said, "I have heard of this kind of thing. The full name is a legion-level war puppet. It is often used as a war weapon to deal with super-high-level monster attacks, and its offensive and defensive abilities are close to the legendary average level. If a high number of groups fight, only the demigod can compete head-on."
"Those are not important," Katherine said anxiously. "I just need to know what weaknesses it has."
"There is no weakness." Vivian said bitterly: "At least no one has discovered the weakness of this kind of puppet yet. The several puppets that were destroyed in history were all defeated head-on by demigods or legendary ranks. It is said that no one has successfully won the trick."
"Is it okay to use your previous method?" Catherine became even more anxious. The puppet in front of her came towards them along the pipe. Due to her size, she took a few meters of distance. Even though her movements were slightly slower than when she walked normally, the distance between the two sides was still shortening. Judging from the current situation, unless the four people turned around and ran away, they would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the giant puppet.
"It's too big. Unless I can accurately target some of its joints for temperature shocks, it will not be able to reproduce the effect of the previous small puppet." Vivian kept speeding up. She was slightly breathless in her voice: "But a slight move will cause deviation, and I can't do this at all."
"Then there is nothing I can do, I'll try its strength." Catherine locked in the war puppet with one shield and one sword: "Sisters of Flowers and Grass, you two wait by Vivian's side first, don't run around at this time. There may be undead ahead."
"Protection, impact." Vivian's fingers were blurred, and the transparent shield formed by magic could effectively resolve part of the physical impact condensed beside Catherine: "Sister, be careful, come back if you don't work."
Catherine shouted softly, and the fearless charge started. The shield was in front of her, and the sword was dragged behind her, leaving countless afterimages along the way at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to distinguish. She rushed straight towards the calves of the giant puppet. The giant puppet's reaction was not slow, or it was considered very fast compared to its size, but it still could not be compared with the speed of Catherine's charge. She had only had time to raise her legs, and just watched Catherine get closer and hit her calves, and at the same time, a sword with full fighting spirit was slashed horizontally at the knee joint.
The harsh metal impact echoed in the underground pipes. In the roar, Catherine flew back at the same speed when she rushed out, slapped flat on the wall with a bang. Then she slowly slid down and sat down to the ground.
"Bao, bah, bah, bah, bah," Katherine shook her dizzy head hard, licked her lips that were broken by her teeth. She spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and grinned, "It's so hard. It's so hard."
"How about big sister?" Vivian ran over and pulled Catherine and continued to retreat and maintained the distance between her giant puppet: "Is there a chance of winning?"
"Stop kidding." Catherine widened her eyes and said, "I just found her charge at the rock for the first time when I was training her charge skills. The moment of collision, if my body was still of an ordinary person's quality, the bones in my body were broken. It just raised its legs and I flew here. With all my strength, only one scratch was added to its joint position. How could such an opponent have a chance of winning? Do you have any good ideas?"
"I have no choice, either." Vivian spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is no way to break the defense, no tactics are useful."
"Then there is only one last way." Catherine sighed, grabbed Vivian's hand, pushed the maid sister from behind and said loudly, "You can't run."
Indeed, the decision made by Catherine was the only correct choice. The huge legion-level war puppet moved slightly faster than the speed of humans when walking, but was slightly slower than the speed of jogging. At this time, choose to turn heads and escape to use the speed to expand the distance between the puppet. This can not only gain more time to think about tactics, but also consume the energy of the puppet as much as possible. After all, such a large puppet consumes a lot of energy, and the time it can support one charge will not be too long. This is a typical tactic of using space for time to pursue victory.
"The problem is that we don't have much space," Catherine said distressedly as she ran: "Don't forget that there are undead everywhere here. Anne, is this road the one leading to our goal now?"
"Wow, what a big doll." Annie poked her head out and found something was wrong. She turned around and saw the giant puppet. She subconsciously exclaimed and replied: "Yeah, that's it."
"There are also many undeads in front?" Vivian asked unevenly.
"Yes, a lot." Anne gestured with her hands in a big circle: "There is a big group, but there is only one in the middle, and there will be no more."
Catherine quickly exchanged a look with Vivian, and nodded at the same time. Catherine gritted her teeth and said, "Then rush forward. As long as you rush through the undead area, there will be a lot of room for movement."
"What I'm more worried about is, if we just rushed through the undead area, we saw the target we were following and greeting us on the opposite side." Vivian's super-large backpack rose and fell as he ran, and from behind, he looked very interesting. But its actual weight was not interesting at all. Even if it was inlaid with a weight reduction array, it was a big burden: "We must be careful. Our movement was too big, and we wish we could hear the entire sewer, unless the other party was deaf. Otherwise, we must be prepared."
"Then let's take the old friend behind to say hello to them. I don't believe that they dare not escape when they see the one behind." Catherine said, looking back at the war puppet behind her. This time she scared her and immediately stopped and turned around. She only had time to shout: "You keep running, I'll arrive soon."
Vivian did not stop tacitly and continued to run forward, but couldn't help but look back. Behind them, the war puppet stopped at some point, squatted forward, his mouth wide open, and an ominous red light appeared in his mouth. Catherine held a kite shield in each hand. The tip of the tail of the shield was pressed onto the metal ground, and a golden light appeared on her body and shield at the same time. The golden light started with two shield surfaces. It scattered outward in a flat surface, covering almost half of the pipe, forming a thick barrier.
"Tactics, stand firm."
"Tactics, legion barriers."
Catherine shouted twice in a row, and the knight skill was activated. She quickly established a defensive position behind everyone, ready to face the upcoming impact. The red light from the mouth of the puppet in the distance surged. A harsh whistling sound filled the inside of the pipe, and a white light that could hardly be seen clearly. The energy flow at the tail was dragged, and it crossed two or three hundred meters in a few seconds, hitting Catherine's timely defensive barrier.
The moment the white light collided with the barrier, the dazzling light lit up in the impact, and followed by a violent explosion and deafening explosion. The sound of the explosion was amplified many times through the reflections of the circular wall, which made the two maids, who were still of ordinary human quality, feel that their eardrums had broken. Due to Catherine's legion barrier, the shock wave generated by the explosion did not have any impact on the three ladies not far away, but with his skills and fighting spirit, Catherine, who had almost resisted an explosion once again, flew out diagonally like a kite with a broken string, saving effort than the three people running and fell in front of the three people in advance.
"Elements, Frozen Domain." The experienced Vivian was not stupid enough to run over to check Catherine's condition quickly, but turned around as soon as possible, pointed his staff from a distance, and within a few dozen meters of the giant puppet's feet, a hard and smooth layer of ice condensed on the ground.
"Element, hurricane space." The staff swung again, and the second magic was released. The air above the ice began to flow abnormally, forming an invisible tornado covering dozens of meters. After doing all this, Vivian turned around and continued to run, moving quickly towards Catherine.
"Bastard." Catherine struggled to stand up, slapped the old mud on her head that was raised by the explosion. She was angry and ignored her image and scolded loudly: "I actually used 8,000 ter's crystal explosion bomb to explode me. One is four thousand gold coins. There are so many ways to attack, why do you have to use gold coins? No, use crystals as a weapon, bastard."
"Sister, calm down." Seeing that Catherine was still full of vitality after enduring the explosion, Vivian finally felt relieved and pulled Catherine to run away: "The goblin's crystal explosion bombs are all made of imitation crystals, with a shelf life of only three days, and the imitation method is one of the five unsolved mysteries, so that thing is not worth it, don't feel sorry for it, run quickly, run after running the turn ahead, don't worry about the explosive bomb."
