MTL - Start a Core Pod-Chapter 16 Temple Raid

  Chapter 16 Shrine Raid

   At this moment, it is already late at night.

   Heavy rain fell from the sky, covering the entire city. The city was dark, without any lights, and it looked like a dead cemetery.

  There is only a bunch of pale lights, illuminating the dilapidated street in front of you.

  Duanmu Huai held a hammer in his hand and walked along the road. The searchlight on the side of his head emitted a dazzling white light, tearing apart the darkness and illuminating everything in front of him.

  Duanmu Huai stared ahead, and at the same time looked at the map data that appeared on the helmet in front of him—this was the reward he got after rescuing the captives in the city hall, a scout servo skull. It can scan the surrounding environment and display all life responses on the map.

  Well, it is indeed a good help for Duanmuhuai.

   If you want to talk about the disadvantages, it is that the servo skulls are too ugly.

  When he first descended to the surface and rescued Alisa in the ritual of defeating the evil god, Duanmuhuai got a repair servo skull, which was mainly used to repair the power armor. Now I have obtained a reconnaissance servo skull, which is basically a very useful "external plug-in" for the judge.

  All servo skulls are made of human skulls, they will retain the human head and part of the cervical spine, and then transform into a drone-like device through mechanized transformation.

   Apart from other things, this thing at least looks like a strong villain on the surface. The white skull floating beside the black knight can easily be regarded as a creation of some kind of undead by people who don't know the truth...

   But this thing is really easy to use. The servo skull is small and not easy to be found. In addition, it can fly silently. It is simply the best reconnaissance drone unit. Even in places like ventilation ducts, it can enter unimpeded.

  In fact, it was precisely because of the help of the reconnaissance servo skull that Duanmu Huai had already spotted the enemies ambushing on the opposite side several times in advance.

   "Tsk, this guy is amazing."

  Watching Duanmuhuai mercilessly smash a group of ratmen into meat paste again, the elf scout muttered in a low voice.

  She didn't act with Duanmu Huai. After all, the elf scouts are good at detection and exploration. Although she also has good swordsmanship, it seems that the other party really doesn't need her to stand by her side.

  The elf scout had dealt with the Ratmen more than once, and she knew how powerful those Ratmen were, but these monsters looked like they were made of mud in front of the Iron Knight, and they had no power to fight back.

  But what happened to that little girl...

  The elf scout turned around and looked at Augis who was following behind him. Duanmuhuai said that she was the last hole card and would not let her make a move unless he was in trouble. The elf scout also subconsciously thought that Augis should be a mage—many mages did have powerful spells, but their fighting ability was mediocre, so Duanmu Huai would always protect her.

   What puzzled the elf scout was that she didn't feel the breath of a living person from this girl, but she didn't look like a vampire or other undead creature...

   These two people are mysterious and weird.

  When he came to the gate of the temple, Duanmuhuai stopped.

  The gate of the temple in front of me has been sealed, and the outside is still full of wooden boxes and the like, obviously refusing anyone to enter.

   "It seems that I can't get in, do I need to change the way?"

  The elf scout came over and asked in a low voice, while Duanmu Huai glanced at the map displayed on the panel and shook his head.

   "No, it's not necessary."

Having said this, Duanmuhuai clenched his warhammer tightly, lowered his body, and strode directly towards the door that was sealed by debris in front of him. Immediately afterwards, the backpack behind him sprayed out instantly, bursting out with hot blue and white flames. Next, Duanmuhuai rushed forward like a cannonball, and directly slammed into it!

   "Boom!!"

  The gate sealed by wooden boxes and sundries of course couldn't withstand the impact of Duanmu Huai. In a short while, the fragile gate was directly knocked into the air, and Duanmu Huai rushed directly into the temple in front of him. At the same time, he quickly glanced around and took a panoramic view of the entire temple.

  All the temples have a similar structure. The front is a wide hall for preaching and praying, and the back is the residence of the clergy. Naturally, this place is no exception, but it is not the devout believers who surround the statue at this moment, but a group of dirty, smelly ratmen and evil **** believers. They are surrounding the idol, and it seems that some kind of sacrilegious ceremony is being carried out.

  The appearance of Duanmuhuai was obviously beyond the expectation of these ratmen, but when they turned their heads to try to figure out what was going on, Duanmuhuai had already flown across the entire hall and came to the wizard who was performing the ceremony. Their obese bodies are full of plague and toxins. These evil wizards are also the most faithful "children" of the God of Filth.

   But these are not important to Duanmu Huai.

   "Huh——!"

  The Thunder Hammer roared down, hitting one of the fat wizards. However, at the same time, a dark green barrier emerged from the fat wizard's side, trying to block the thunder hammer's attack.

  However, it is not a shield that can block a space warrior's full blow.

  The moment the Thunder Hammer hit the barrier, it began to twist, deform, and burst suddenly.

  Material dislocation!

The thunder hammer that smashed through the shield continued unabated, and hit the fat wizard's head directly, smashing his head to pieces, and the fat wizard also flew backwards under the impact of this blow, Like a cockroach that was blown away, it hit the wall next to it with a "slap", and there was no movement.

   "Ho Ho Ho Ho!!"

   Just as Duanmuhuai killed a fat wizard with his backhand, other ratmen and followers of evil gods also rushed over like a tide, and surrounded Duanmuhuai the moment he landed. Perhaps their strength is not enough to cause damage to Duanmuhuai, but their number can still make it difficult for Duanmuhuai to move for a period of time.

   But fortunately, Duanmuhuai is not fighting alone.

  Psionic shock!

Dazzling blue light erupted from Duanmu Huai's body and spread in all directions. Immediately afterwards, the ratmen and evil **** believers who were all around rushing towards Duanmu Huai were shocked to the ground by the powerful power of psionic energy, and then Duanmu Huai shook. body, dozens of puppet assassins flashed out of thin air, and pounced on the enemy who had fallen to the ground and had not had time to get up. But Duanmuhuai rushed directly to another fat wizard, smashing it into meat sauce again.

   And just when Duanmu Huai turned around and was about to kill the last wizard, suddenly, something happened.

   Just as Duanmu Huai's thunder hammer smashed through the fat wizard's barrier, the fat wizard's body suddenly swelled and became bigger. Immediately afterwards, it instantly rose several meters, even taller than Duanmu Huai. Not only that, but the body of the fat wizard, which looked fragile, was also wrapped in layers of fat at this moment, looking like a **** pig with a height of three or four meters.

   "Boom!"

And the Thunder Hammer, which had been invincible before, was also hindered. Duanmuhuai's all-out blow did not break it as before. On the contrary, he only felt that his war hammer hit a thick giant tire. There was no reaction at all.

   At the same time, the middle of the fat wizard's belly suddenly split open, revealing a ferocious mouth, and at some point in his hand, there was an extra giant sword, and he threw it directly at Duanmuhuai!

   "Damn it!"

  Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai also screamed inwardly, and hastily retracted the warhammer to block him. The next moment, the roaring giant sword directly hit Duanmu Huai's body, sending him flying!

   "Plague Apostle?!"

  The elf scout who came at this moment also screamed when they saw this scene. She didn't expect that there would be such an existence here!

   Damn, I knew it was difficult to deal with.

   Duanmu Huai stood up and stared at the monster in front of him.

  【Plague Apostle (Elite)】

  【LV35】

   This thing is 15 levels higher than me!

   Fortunately, Duanmu Huai was well prepared for this situation.

   Just as the plague apostle rushed towards him, he also played the hole card he had been hiding in his hand!

   "Ojis!"

   "Wow--!"

  Accompanied by Duanmu Huai's call, the suitcase beside the silver-haired girl suddenly opened, and then a huge masked doll flew out of it, blocking Duanmu Huai's face. With hands interlaced, we met the great sword of the plague apostle!

   "Ka——!!"

   This time, the man-made puppet was not able to block the attack of the plague apostle, and the big sword directly smashed through the body of the masked puppet, turning it into fragments all over the place. At the same time, Augis raised her hands, and shining silk threads quietly emerged from all directions, wrapping tightly around the body of the plague apostle.

However, compared to the previous bloodthirsty madman, the plague apostle does not seem to be very sensitive to this kind of attack. Although its movements are temporarily fixed by the silk thread, the plague apostle does not care, and continues to laugh at Duanmuhuai. pounce.

  Damn that's why I hate playing viruses!

  Seeing this scene, Duanmuhuai also spat secretly. Among the four evil gods, the believers of the **** of filth are the most disgusting, not only what they do is disgusting, but they themselves are also disgusting. Just like the plague apostle in front of him, although it looks like a whole on the surface, in fact, strictly speaking, its body is more like piled up with some kind of virus elements. These guys don't die that easily unless they hurt the core.

  An attack like Augis, if placed on other evil **** believers, would have been cut into seven or eight pieces, and only this kind of guy who looks like a slime monster can block Augis' attack.

No way, the resistance is different. To deal with this kind of guy, it is best to use necromancy or elemental spells, but helpless - whether it is Duanmuhuai or Augis, they are all physical attacks. Dealing with this disgusting thing is really difficult. Some are powerless.

  But it doesn't mean that you can't play.

  The plague apostle bound by the silk thread did not give up the attack. It opened the **** mouth on its belly and sprayed poisonous mucus at Duanmuhuai. However, Duanmuhuai did not avoid these germs and venom. On the contrary, he strode forward and stabbed the steel hammer in his hand directly into the big mouth on the belly of the plague apostle.

   Immediately afterwards, thunder and lightning flashed.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

  The shining thunder instantly enveloped the entire body of the plague apostle, making it tremble and howl in pain. But Duanmuhuai took the opportunity to let go of the Thunder Hammer, reached out and took out the chainsaw sword behind him, jumped up, raised the chainsaw sword in his hand high, and swung it down at the plague apostle!

   "Om——!"

  The frantically turning chainsword split the plague apostle's head, all the way down. However, that kind of feeling doesn't feel like chopping on muscle or bone at all, but more like chopping into a pile of sponges. When it reached the chest, the chainsaw sword stopped suddenly.

found it!

Feeling the touch from the chainsaw sword, Duanmuhuai's eyes were fixed, the muscles in his hands swelled, and the huge force exploded again, suppressing the chainsaw sword and continuing to go down. The next moment, the chainsaw sword split the plague like this The core of the apostle, and the body of the plague apostle suddenly swelled like a ball, and then burst with a "bang".

A violent air wave came head-on, and even Duanmu Huai, who was wearing power armor, couldn't help taking several steps back, but the elf scout who saw the opportunity had already pulled Augis out of the church—she didn't If Duanmuhuai's ability was affected by the self-explosion of the plague apostle, even if he did not die, his skin would peel off.

   "This shit..."

   Duanmu Huai, whose body was covered in plague flesh and blood, was also very upset. If he didn't have this fully enclosed power armor, it would be difficult to deal with this thing. He had fought this thing before, and it was still a team fight. In the end, the Plague Apostle blew himself up and killed all of his melee fighters. Only a few healers and DPS in the back row survived.

   Sure enough, magic is still needed...

  Looking at the bombed corpse in front of him, Duanmuhuai shook his head. Units like the Plague Apostle have relatively strong physical resistance, and he and Augis are both physical attack attributes-it seems that they need to go to other ruins to find out if there are any magic-type soul cards.

   "I didn't expect you to be able to destroy the plague apostle."

  At this moment, the elf scout also walked in, looking at the hall in front of her in surprise. To be honest, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that someone could single-handedly kill these powerful subordinates of the evil god...

   No, he's not alone either.

Thinking of this, the elf scout glanced at Augis next to her. The puppet girl was still expressionless and calm, but the elf scout knew that it was the girl who used some kind of silk thread just now to restrain her. The actions of the plague apostle——it seems that what the knight said was right, the girl was indeed hiding her secrets.

   "Okay, the monsters here have been cleared."

  Duanmuhuai put down the chainsaw sword and glanced around.

   "Where is that sacred object?"

"I know."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the elf scout's eyes lit up, and then she quickly came to the statue deep in the hall, and then the elf scout whispered something similar to a mantra, and soon, he saw the statue that had been The polluted idol emitted a soft light, and then slowly opened its originally closed hands, and then, a pearl that was about the size of an apple and emitting white light appeared in it.

   Seeing this scene, the elf scout heaved a sigh of relief.

   "Huh... It's okay..."

  However, before the elf scout finished speaking, Duanmuhuai's chainsaw sword was already pressed against her throat.

   "As a scout, you know a lot."

   Staring at the elf scout in front of him, Duanmuhuai said coldly.
