Chapter 104 Battle against the Sphinx
According to legend, the Sphinx is the guardian of the Egyptian pharaohs and royal power, and is also a unique magical animal of Egypt. Kiki Hades once fought against Bai Lin with a Sphinx, so Bai Lin knew some of the attack patterns of this beast.
Unlike the powerful pounce of a prairie lion, the Sphinx primarily attacks with its massive claws. Bai Lin had no doubt how many ribs he would break if struck by its basin-sized claws. The Sphinx's large, human-faced mouth was also filled with fangs, a constant reminder to Bai Lin that they were carnivores, with a deep craving for human flesh.
Bai Lin, relying on the influence of the Shadow Demon, caused the Sphinx in front of him to stagger. Bai Lin flew forward and thrust his sword towards the Sphinx's neck. He suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. He had originally planned to change his appearance and use a fake identity to participate in the zoo's beast fighting competition. Today seemed to be a rehearsal opportunity given to him by God.
However, just as Bai Lin's longsword was about to pierce through, a jet-black arrow suddenly shot out from the stone wall, heading straight for Bai Lin's chest. The arrow even had a cold, bluish-green light on it, clearly indicating that it had been coated with a deadly poison.
Bai Lin dared not be careless and could only abandon his attack, leaning back sharply to dodge the sneak arrow. It was undoubtedly Gary who had used the illusion on the rune wall to conceal himself and launch a sneak attack.
Blanco hadn't expected Bai Lin to be able to summon such a powerful helper. He had heard that Bai Lin possessed a unique magical animal summoning technique, but he had always thought it was just a zoo's promotional material. He hadn't expected it to be true. He shouted, "Take cover! Watch out for ambushes!" He was the first to hide behind a steam engine and quickly cast a "Bubble Head Charm" on himself.
Bai Lin was forced to the ground by the cold arrow. The Sphinx suddenly leaped forward, its claws like four scalpels stabbing towards Bai Lin's chest. If this claw landed, he would be dead without a doubt.
Bai Lin quickly rolled on the spot, not caring whether the posture was cool or not, and swung his wand in the direction where the arrow had just been shot, shouting: "Shadow Arrow Rain!"
"Gary," hiding in the illusion, was startled. However, the black magic was clearly restricted by the "anti-magic particles," and Bai Lin couldn't release anything.
Bai Lin cursed under his breath, "Damn it, which ones can be used and which ones can't?!"
Bai Lin decisively gave up trying, put the wand back in his pocket, grabbed the longsword, and with a flip, jumped out of the Sphinx's attack range.
Over there, Yukikaze and Sphinx were locked in a fierce struggle. Although neither could deliver a fatal blow, their claws had left numerous wounds on each other, leaving them covered in blood. The battle knocked over many anvils and furnaces, and the remaining coal from the furnaces, still burning, scattered across the ground, nearly setting an Auror's clothes on fire.
Bai Lin gave a shout, and Xue Feng retreated to Bai Lin's side. Bai Lin flipped over and climbed onto Xue Feng's back. The two Sphinxes pounced from the left and right. The Shadow Demon's effect was also very poor in this space, and the Sphinxes struggled and broke free from the Shadow Demon's entanglement.
Bai Lin was not afraid at all. Using the terrain, he rode Xue Feng and suddenly turned around to dodge the pounce of one of the Sphinxes. He charged towards the other one. Xue Feng stood up on its back, pried open the Sphinx's front paws with its claws, and bit down on the Sphinx's throat.
The Sphinx was heavier and stronger in a direct confrontation than the level 5 Yukikaze (rumored to have rare individuals that they grow eagle-like wings, but these two did not). In this pounce, Yukikaze was clearly at a disadvantage. Not only did it fail to deflect the Sphinx's claws, but it was also pinned down by a single talon, and its sharp teeth aimed at the Sphinx's throat were also ineffective. However, when the Sphinx pinned Yukikaze down, Bai Lin was nowhere to be seen on Yukikaze's back.
Just as the Sphinx was about to strike Yukikaze's head with its claws, it suddenly felt a weight on its back as a longsword pierced its neck from behind.
Just as Xuefeng stood upright, Bai Lin had already leaped into the air, somersaulted over the heads of the two beasts, and landed on the Sphinx's back. Without hesitation, he plunged his sword down.
A cold arrow flew by. Bai Lin grabbed the hilt of his sword and rolled to the other side of the Sphinx. The sharp sword immediately tore a long gash in the Sphinx's neck. The Sphinx screamed in pain and fell towards Bai Lin. The poisoned arrow struck the Sphinx right in the body.
Seeing the Sphinx lying on the ground, clearly severely injured, Bai Lin immediately activated the seal. With a burst of light, the Sphinx was "sucked" into the Summoning Encyclopedia, and a line of text immediately appeared on the encyclopedia:
Successfully sealed the Sphinx (Level 6 Normal), Magic Power Bonus 2. Note: Accumulated sealing will no longer increase Magic Power; accumulating 3 seals will unlock the Sphinx summon.
Before Bai Lin could think any further, another Sphinx pounced over. Before Xue Feng could react, an anvil flew over, and the Sphinx and the anvil collided and fell to the ground.
Bai Lin looked over and saw that Elijah had regained some of his abilities, which had been a great help to Bai Lin. However, he was panting heavily in the large bubble on his head, and didn't seem to be feeling very well.
Xuefeng sprang to his feet, let out a wolf howl, and pounced on the Sphinx, with Bailin following closely behind, longsword in hand.
The Sphinx was badly hit by the anvil, but it did not lose its fighting ability. Just as it was about to pounce on the snow wind, Bai Lin released the Shadow Demon again. The Sphinx was pulled and staggered. The snow wind successfully pounced on the Sphinx and then bit its neck.
The Sphinx, not wanting the snow wind to expand its gains, slapped the snow wind's side with its paw, and rolled on the ground with the snow wind. They rolled over burning coals, and the fur of both beasts was set ablaze, making the scene extremely gruesome.
Just as Bai Lin was about to step forward to help, another cold arrow flew out from the wall. Bai Lin was furious, but he didn't have any skills he could use, so he simply summoned three mandrakes and threw them directly in the direction from which the cold arrow came.
Screams suddenly echoed throughout the hall, even affecting Yukikaze and Sphinx, who separated. Bai Lin and the Aurors felt a real pain in their eardrums, but the closest one was "Gary" hiding in the illusion. He screamed and fell off the wall, rolling on the ground while covering his ears.
Elia didn't hesitate any longer. He rushed out from behind the steam engine, pounced on him, and pinned "Gary" to the ground.
Once Elia subdued "Gary," Bai Lin had also successfully sealed the second Sphinx, and the immediate crisis was resolved.
"Hahahaha! You'll never get out! You evil freaks! Hahahaha!" After laughing, Gary suddenly foamed at the mouth and died.
Elijah quickly stepped aside and looked down to see Gary clutching the last poisoned arrow, which was plunged into his own chest.
A short while later, Gehry's figure changed, turning into a gaunt old man with a face full of black aura, clearly dead.
"It's a compound decoction!" Elijah said.
Blanco and the Aurors were breathing with the Bubble Head Charm, and it seemed that some of their magic was already usable, but Apparition was still not working.
Bai Lin glanced at the dead old man, paced a few steps in the hall, and said, "Perhaps it really is as he said, only Muggles can leave..."
