Chapter 177: Leviathan

...
　　 Let's see that there are two parts.
　　 Outside the palace, the soldiers of the King’s Army have assembled and are marching towards two positions.
　　 One is the downtown area, assisting the guards who are fighting the blood demons.
　　 The second is the palace, cleaning up the monsters that invaded Nottinglin.
　　 However, the circling dragon above Kevir made the second plan impossible.
　　 The Shadow Elders are only legendary creatures in Novigrad, in the Nifogad Empire, and beyond the distant sea.
　　 In Kevir, it is indeed a shadow of terror that everyone knows.
　　 But all the impressions and all the rumors, in today's disputes, all have been beaten to pieces.
　　 This terrifying creature that makes children smell and cry, and makes the country a disaster, is in a panic.
　　 Its body has fallen into exhaustion in the disintegration time and time again, and it is no longer the shadow elder who is like a dry corpse hanging under this cloud.
　　 It showed its original appearance, with flesh-colored wings on its back, its hands turned into sword-like claws, and the eyes and nose of the head disappeared, leaving only a cracked mouth.
　　 This is the final form of the Elder Shadow, and it is also its most terrifying and deadly state.
　　 But even so, its sharp claws can only leave shallow scratches on Leviathan, and its speed like a sound wave is even more a joke under the water waves that Leviathan evokes out of thin air.
Marger, who fell in the palace, wanted to give himself a shot of the bleeding medicine, but he gave up after repeated attempts. He didn't have the slightest strength to hold the blood medicine, let alone take out food, unless someone took it out. Put it beside his mouth, maybe he can still open his mouth with a weak bite force.
　　 Time was lost every second, and he kept calculating how much time Leviathan could survive in this world.
　　50 seconds...
　　 "Leviathan...Don't worry about that, hurry up..."
　　 Under his prayer, Leviathan didn't know if it was out of obedience to the summoner, the fins all over his body suddenly rose, and a frost-like air current erupted from within.
　　 The Elder Shadow galloped through the air, shocked by the open cold current.
This is the magic power that makes it tremble to the whole body tingling. When Leviathan’s pupils moved to the Elder Shadow, above the sky, water flows from the sky, and every drop of water condenses in Leviathan as if it has life. Around him, a waterspout formed to surround Nottinglin Palace.
　　 "God..."
　　 Fei Lina stood in the square, her surprise just now turned into fear in the numbness, just like the fear of a mortal who let go of all dignity after witnessing the coming of God.
　　 "This dragon is a of nature... a true god..."
As she imagined, in the "Final Fantasy" series, there are many gods above creatures, the of water Leviathan, the of fire Ifrit, the of thunder, Ram, and the dragon at the top , Bahamut.
This is completely different from the world view of The Witcher. Although there are various creatures that transcend common sense in this continent, all creatures have not reached the level of gods. Even the masters of mirrors are only called demons, the gods of this world. It is a mysterious master hidden underwater, no one has really seen it, and the moment the person who has seen it has a divine body in his eyes, he left the ordinary world forever.
　　 "Someone!"
　　 Suddenly someone shouted and pointed at the floor where the explosion had just occurred.
Fei Lina looked over and saw two people, one holding a walking stick, thin, crawling towards the roof in the violent storm, one naked torso, half of the body was rotten, and one hand with a strong bone whip, also facing upwards Crawling like chasing.
　　 "Edward Roger... Charon..."
　　Felina recognized them at a glance, which made her even more strange, what is going on in front of her.
"One is Charon, who is the other?" A warlock who wore the same white robe as Felina frowned slightly. She was one of the twenty agents of the Crimson Order, and like Felina, the most important person in Corville. The upper class warlock.
　　 "...Edward Roger."
　　 "The person predicted in the book?"
　　 Fei Lina did not say much, pondering what they could do to face this situation, the protectors of the so-called kingdom.
　　 Do you want to believe this "Edward Roger"...
　　 "Where is the source warlock?"
　　 This question woke up Fei Lina, and suddenly what Chabai said came to mind.
　　 "It should still be in the palace."
　　 The eyes of the colleague flashed nervous and unhappy, "You say it again..."
Fei Lina did not answer this question, but said solemnly: "We have no way to fight in the air. If the Elder Shadow falls on the ground, we must gather all our power to attack it, including Charon. Now all vampires are enemies of Corvier. , All are based on killing. As for that Edward Roger... I can only suggest that he may be real..."
　　 "Felina, do you know the truth?"
　　 "Part of."
　　 "After everything is over, I need you to give a reasonable explanation to the order, and... all the soldiers! Enter the palace to search for the source of the sorcerer!"
　　 Facing the question of her colleagues, Fei Lina looked at the soldiers who ventured into the palace and lowered her head slightly, but her pupils were staring at Li Nuo who had climbed to the roof.
　　 At this moment, her heart was secretly saying, "Chabai...You make me believe you, so don't deceive me...Never."
　　……
　　 "Ha...ha..."
　　 Li Nuo panted heavily. He climbed to the roof at the fastest speed in his life, his cane was tightly pierced into the shattered tiles, and he used his remaining physical strength to keep his balance from being blown down by the wind and rain.
　　 Suddenly the roof cracked and a bone whip was swept out. Li Nuo immediately leaped away with his cane. The moment he landed, there was a sudden pain in his left arm.
　　 20 seconds have passed, the bones of the left arm are all shattered due to the function of [Remnant Blood].
　　 Charon had already appeared before him.
　　 Li Nuo clenched his teeth to the sore spot, leaned on his cane and forced the expression on his face to remain the same.
Charon glanced at the Leviathan floating in the sky, then looked at Li Nuo, and asked, "What is the purpose of bringing me here? See mythical creatures up close? Or do you want to borrow a thunder from the sky to kill me? ?"
　　 Li Nuo's pupils glanced at the warlocks gathered in the square below, and then forced himself to smile.
　　 "Go to your uncle."
　　 Throwing out a national curse, he instantly appeared in front of Charon, his left arm was useless, so the gun could not be picked up, only the stick could be used.
　　 In the pouring rain, the cane and sword that was picked up left the afterimage of sparks across Charon's face and took away the flesh and blood on his face.
　　 Charon didn't care. Under his feet, the tiles shattered and the sickle bone whip broke through the rubble.
　　 Li Nuo stepped aside, this time [Remnant of Blood] strengthened his insight value, evading the two bone whips as expected, and leaping over there before the third one appeared.
　　 When the third one appeared, Li Nuo tapped the soles of his feet, shook his stick and turned it into a whip blade and drew it towards Charon’s neck.
　　 Perhaps because of the showers, the flame was not as strong as before.
　　 But it doesn't matter, Li Nuo never thought about killing Charon on his own.
　　 The reason lies in the fact that Charon has the strengthening of the T virus.
　　According to Li Nuo's own speculation on the physique of the virus and the blood race, Charon now has the recovery speed of a vampire. At the same time, due to the influence of the virus, the physique has undergone a second degree of mutation, and the recovery speed of the body has been accelerated.
　　 If you talk about the basic attribute value, except for the cheating medical treatment, Li Nuo is not below Charon in terms of hard power, but the problem of blood volume is constantly being amplified by the existence of [identity].
　　 Li Nuo’s disadvantages that he can’t cope with a protracted battle are gradually being revealed. If he continues to do so, Charon will inevitably find that he cannot withstand any attacks.
　　He didn't want the next plot to develop into a stage where a certain justice cosmic pirate brother was severely beaten by the villain.
　　 Therefore, there are only two things to do: waiting and guerrilla warfare, reducing frontal conflicts, and implementing the tactical thinking of one shot for one place.
　　 As for how to defeat Charon...
"Hey……"
　　 Li Nuo immediately retreated after hitting Charon and pulled away. He moved his lower left arm slightly to confirm that the broken bones were gradually recovering due to the termination of [Remnant Blood].
　　 Immediately after he shot a [Seal of Yaxi], the gun was released and the trigger was pulled when Charon paused for a while.
　　 Unexpectedly, the bullet was blocked by the life-like bone whip.
Charon regained consciousness in just a second, scanned the gun marks on the eyebone whip, seemed to see some suspicion, and sneered: "Tell me, what is your ability to suddenly become stronger? "
　　 "How much do you give?"
　　 Li Nuo threatened, another shot, and then instantly bullied Charon.
　　 "As long as you have two arms, how about?"
　　 After a cold sentence, Li Nuo instantly felt a huge pressure from deep in the opponent's body.
　　 Like an instinctive reaction, he retreated quickly, ignoring the remaining time of [Remnant Blood].
　　 quack...
　　嘣...
　　 Karma...
　　 Several sounds of twisting bones came from Charon.
"you……"
　　 Li Nuo hesitated to speak, he had a bad omen.
　　 "What do you want to say?"
　　 At the same time Charon said, his eyes, face and body were changing.
　　 The eyes turned black, the pupils turned white, the muscles began to swell, the blue veins swelled, the eyes on the chest leaked pus and blood, the skin color gradually turned white, and light red animal hair appeared on the surface.
　　 There was a sudden explosion of flesh and blood, and then the spine protruded from the body surface, and a broken bone protruded from the left forehead.
　　 "Cut..."
　　 Li Nuo let out a low gasp, suppressing the pain, 20 seconds have passed, this time he broke his right leg.
　　 He squeezed his cane to keep his body standing. It was not that he had no chance to make a move for 20 seconds. It was just that Charon's change gave him too much shock.
　　 Charon is both a player and a vampire who does not belong to this world, and his team has obviously been to the script of "Ritual of the Night".
　　 So Li Nuo guessed that Charon’s change should belong to the bloodline of Dracula in the "Devil City" series. It is a vampire that is more terrifying than the Elder Shadow.
　　 But the change was not over yet, Charon’s eyes began to rot around his chest, and the rotten flesh continued to his left shoulder, where another eye appeared.
　　 This change is a genetic mutation belonging to the T virus...
　　 After the two changes merged, Charon let out a sigh of relief. He has become a real...monster.
　　 Li Nuo's state eased, and then immediately raised the gun and pulled the trigger.
　　 When the slight recoil of the pistol burst, his energy and broken leg could no longer support his body, and he collapsed on his back.
　　 The bullet passed through the raindrops, and Charon disappeared just before the head of Charon's face.
When 　　 appeared again, he was only one step away from Li Nuo.
　　 "Tell me what your strange ability is."
　　 Facing Charon’s questioning, Li Nuo raised the corners of his mouth, showing a contemptuous smile, "Super Demon Hunter, the kind that changes his hair."
　　 "Heh... the mouth is really hard." Charon smiled, regretful.
　　 He raised his arm, his bone whip twisted rhythmically as if there was life.
　　 Then the sky roared loudly.
　　 Charon was also stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the source of the roar, Leviathan, the of water.
The 　　 water dragon opened its mouth wide, and the water spouts all over it gathered in front of the face and turned into a small water polo.
　　 Suddenly the water ball burst open, and several water cannons attacked the Elder Shadow at a speed that the naked eye could not see clearly.
　　 There is a pop!
The Elder Shadow was washed down by a water cannon. It smashed the roof through the building. Li Nuo and Charon slid down the top of the due to the violent vibration caused by the destruction of the roof. Just in front of the eaves, Li Nuo smashed his stick. On the tiles, fix yourself firmly on the edge of the fall.
　　 With a sudden bang, the Elder Shadow was hit by a water cannon and hit the ground. The square collapsed into a large pit, and the splash of water was stained with blood.
　　In the big pit that was filled with blood, the Elder Shadow floated on the water with his head up.
　　 The face has recovered the zombie's withered bones, its limbs are scattered floating on the water, and its body is crushed into mud by the high-pressure water cannon.
"what!!!"
　　 Its hoarse roar shook the ears of everyone present, and unwillingness and anger filled it.
　　Compared with it was the huge roar from the sky again, and the sound covered the elder's roar, just like the contrast between Leviathan and the shadow elder.
"ended!"
　　 Li Nuo endured the pain of another broken bone in his left arm, and his heart was already full of rejoice and joy.
　　 As long as there is another water cannon, the elder shadow will become muddy.
　　At that time, it doesn't matter if you get a headshot from Charon who is suddenly rushed. As long as the team can pass the script smoothly, and you don't need to sign an unequal treaty with the Mirror Master to sell the team and seek glory, it is victory.
　　 Li Nuo looked at Leviathan anxiously, urging in his heart, Brother Long, hurry up and shoot!
　　【Tourist Group, No. 5930, Malger has withdrawn from the script】
what! ?
　　 The sudden system sound surprised Li Nuo!
　　 At the same time as the summoner left, the Leviathan in the sky also turned white light and disappeared under the dark clouds.
　　 This is too sudden!
　　 He looked to the sky again, the dark clouds were still there, but the rain drops gradually.
　　 "Really disappeared?"
　　 Li Nuo looks forward to the sky and sighs...
　　 "Marger... Brother Marco... it's really time for you to die..."
　　 Li Nuo didn’t know that, at the place where Marger was lying down, because of the violent shock just now, a wall collapsed here...
　　 At the same time, the white tea poured in the ruins opened his eyes slightly.
　　 When she was in a coma, a faint voice appeared in Shen Shen's mind, just like the mechanical voice of the POD machine that followed her before.
　　 "Dream...?"
　　 She didn't know, it was actually the sound that the system forecasted that Malger died.
　　 looked vaguely at the debris around him, and then noticed the coat on his body.
"what happened……"
　　 Questions popped out of her mind, but at the moment she was so weak that she could not feel the presence of her limbs.
　　Everything is not over yet, what must be done...
　　 This is her only thought at the moment.
　　 Suddenly, her blurred vision saw a familiar object beside her cheek.
　　 seems to be bread cubes covered with dust.
　　 Chabai stretched her thin lips with all her strength, no matter if it was a stone or food, she bit down.
　　 swallowed it hard, and after a while, a warm current swelled all over his body, as if his limbs were reconnected to the body.
　　 She stood up the ground, gave another piece of chocolate to her mouth, looked at the hole that had appeared due to the collapse from above, jumped up, and rushed outside with the fastest speed.
