Witch Special

Although the number of Burning Rain Pillars needed was high, remember that Lin Zhenxi had quickly placed dozens of them around the ruins of the Scarlet Devil Mansion in the Festival World to provide energy for his defense tower. Even if Norni wasn't as skilled at drawing magic circles as Lin Zhenxi, she could easily draw a few a day. Furthermore, practice makes perfect; the more she draws, the more proficient she becomes, and the faster she draws. Once Norni becomes proficient, she'll likely be able to match Lin Zhenxi's efficiency.

Well, the situation in the Orc Canyon has come to an end for the time being, and some unexpected situations have also occurred in the Time Square.

Lin Zhenxi had left the enhanced Asura Rhinoceros Beetles where they were, without giving them further orders. These Asura Rhinoceros Beetles were incredibly stubborn. Without further instructions, they would remain motionless until their magic power was depleted and they vanished. However, now, thanks to their fusion with the mutated slime, they had gained a new source of magic power, achieving a basic balance between mana and expenditure. They were no longer subject to summoning time limits and could exist for extended periods of time.

These enhanced Asura Rhinoceros Beetles then went into alert, automatically attacking any moving object within their attack range without any reason or warning. If anyone entered Time Square from the direction of Silent City at this moment, they would be met with a merciless attack from these enhanced Asura Rhinoceros Beetles.

So, are there really such unlucky people?

Now that the camera has turned to this side, the answer to the question is self-evident, right?

Half a day after Lin Zhenxi defeated the mechanical monk named Aslan, another group of imperial soldiers entered Time Square, led by a frivolous-looking man with dazzling silver hair combed back into a rooster comb and a dagger hanging from his waist. Lacking any magical air-purifying items, he frowned upon entering Time Square and pinched his nose.

“It stinks so much in here!”

"Captain, the princess's whereabouts are obvious. They walked into this garbage mountain." The subordinates in military uniforms behind the man reported to him.

The man waved his hand and said impatiently, "You don't have to tell me. I can see that our little princess has no intention of hiding at all. She probably doesn't think anyone will follow her. We don't have to worry. Just follow them from a distance. They will help us finish everything anyway, hehe."

As he spoke, he rubbed the ring on his left hand, and a dim light flashed on the ring face.

But before he could come back to his senses from his complicated thoughts, he heard loud shouts from his men beside him.

"what!"

The man called the leader by his subordinates raised his eyes and looked in the direction of his subordinates. He was holding up the long sword in his hand, pointing it directly at a red and black human-shaped statue that was more than four meters tall.

No, it's not a statue. Although there is no breath of life from it, its body is still rising and falling slightly with its breathing.

It seemed that the shouts of the man's men awakened the giant covered with terrifying muscles. It gradually broke free from its low-power dormant state, and its head with huge horns slowly turned towards the people in military uniforms.

When the giant opened his eyes, everyone saw two flashes of red light.

The next moment, the giant's muscles swelled, and with a sudden push of his legs, he leaped high into the air, tracing a deadly arc through the air before slamming into the crowd like a meteor. As his fists and kicks flew, the soldiers around him were sent flying one after another, being sent flying like sacks, flying several meters high and several feet away. Each one screamed in agony, vomiting blood in large mouthfuls, and it looked like they were doomed.

The man with the dagger at his waist had his eyes instantly reddened. These were his troops carrying out secret missions, similar to the soldiers who had accompanied Princess Isabella on her exploration of the demonic realm, perhaps even a closer team. Yet, now, several of them had been killed by a giant who had inexplicably stopped them mid-sentence. This loss pained him deeply.

"Damn it! Come at me if you dare!" He drew his dagger from its sheath and swiftly charged at the giant wreaking havoc among his men. Meanwhile, the ordinary soldiers around him quickly fled the giant's vicinity, attempting to rescue their comrades who had been sent flying by the giant's millstone-sized fists. Of course, their efforts were likely fruitless, as the power of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was beyond the ability of these mortal bodies to withstand.

Even though they were slightly inferior to the original artificial monster, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles under Lin Zhenxi were still dangerous creatures capable of splitting mountains and cracking rocks. This immense force directly impacted a human body, and if it weren't for the armor they wore to disperse the force, they would likely have shattered instantly. Even so, it was difficult for the soldiers who suffered such a severe blow to survive.

As their leader, protecting his men was his duty, as was avenging those killed in battle. Since the first task was no longer possible, he would strive for the second. He didn't know the identity of this giant, nor why it attacked his men, but since the fight had already begun, he didn't need to dwell on it; he simply had to slay the enemy.

"Captain Barn, it's very strong, don't fight it head-on!" A sergeant next to him shouted in horror when he saw his superior using his short sword, which was less than 60 centimeters long, to poke the giant's fist as big as a millstone.

"You don't have to tell me, I know!" Captain Barn deflected the sword tip at the moment before his sword came into contact with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, and at the same time used his other hand to hold up the sword spine, allowing the sword tip to use the force of the giant's fist to cut a deep gash on the giant's fist that was so deep that the bone could be seen.

That's not all. There was a mysterious power brewing in the wound. It soon exploded automatically and burst out from the wound of Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, forming a small storm full of wind blades, tearing the wound apart so that it could not heal at all.

Under normal circumstances, this is the case.

Seeing their leader cripple the giant's hand with a single blow, the soldiers instinctively wanted to cheer. However, their cheers were only half-full, the other half being stuck in their mouths, because right before their eyes, the horrific wound on the giant's fist healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the wound was as good as new, and not even a trace of the injury could be seen.

Just kidding, when Lin Zhenxi was making mass-produced Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, the first thing he considered was not its attack power, but its self-repair performance. Don't forget that the main body of Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle is a flesh and blood slime. As long as the core is not shattered, have you ever seen a slime that is afraid of sharp weapons?

As cannon fodder characters, when Hayashi Maki first designed them, he didn't expect them to be particularly powerful. He simply thought they were strong enough to survive any attack, and to keep their enemies at a distance, preventing them from getting close to the fragile Hayashi himself. Their current strength is a complete surprise, exceeding the original design concept.

The Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle didn't even feel the slightest bit of damage Captain Barn inflicted on it, and rushed forward again with his fists raised.

Seeing that the method of creating wounds to let the enemy bleed was not working, Captain Barn had no choice but to grit his teeth and rush forward again with the dagger in his hand.

He is not like Buwanga and Aganzu, the two muscular brutes who wield heavy weapons with one hand, and contests of strength are not his strong point.

But now, with his own men behind him, he has no other choice.

"Stay back, stay away! Don't get in the way!"

"Yes, Commander. Go quickly, don't hinder the commander from fighting the enemy." The soldiers also knew that in this situation, if they stood nearby, they would only be hindering their superiors. So, at the leader's loud shout, the soldiers began to support the wounded and carry the dead, and turned to retreat in the direction they came from.

Without the burden of his men, Captain Barn didn't need to use methods he was not good at to hold back the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle. He jumped back, distanced himself from the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, switched hands with the dagger, turned his shoulders to move his arm which had started to ache after fighting with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle for several times, and then threw the dagger back into his dominant hand.

"Very good, let's start the second half." After saying that, Captain Barn put the dagger in his hand back to his waist, and looked sharply at the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle who was rushing towards him again, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Break through the air and draw your sword!

As the sword intent boiled over, a silver-white sword energy in the shape of a waning moon broke away from Barn's sword. The extremely sharp front edge cut into the waist of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle without any hindrance. The beetle had no idea of ​​dodging at all, and broke out from behind it, cutting it in half.

This is not over yet. After swinging out the horizontal sword energy, Barn turned the sword tip and raised the dagger in his hand above his head. The majestic sword energy gushed out from the dagger again, forming a huge phantom of the dagger, and chopped down vertically from above towards the head of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.

Cang Yue Slash!

This sword also easily cut into the body of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, and then the sword energy that entered the body exploded in the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's body, blasting the flesh and blood that had not yet had time to reintegrate along the wound. With a "bang" sound without gunpowder smoke, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's body was divided into four large pieces, flying in different directions.
