Chapter 159: How to Seal the Lizard Giant
Chapter 159: How to Seal the Lizard Giant
As early as when he spied on the fight between the Lizardmen and General Paddy's troops, Abes had already discovered that as the number of Lizardmen warriors decreased, one or two of General Paddy's soldiers who were fighting in the front would become dazed.
It is for this reason that after General Paddy issued the order not to kill the Lizardmen warriors in order to allow the Lizard Giants to grow bigger and stronger, there would still be times when some of his own people would "get carried away" and kill the fallen Lizardmen warriors.
It can be said that from that time on, Abes had begun to suspect whether the lizard giant in front of him had some means of making people lose control and dizzy.
After that, when Hyoanagi said that when she cast a spell, the magic power seemed to drain away particularly quickly, Abes began to have serious doubts.
And now, with the completion of my experiment, everything has been solved.
The lizard giant in front of him did have the means to make people within a certain range lose their free will.
The function of those "green syrups" is definitely not to have some sophisticated means of identifying friend or foe.
"Green Syrup" can nourish, repair and strengthen not only Lizardmen warriors, but all objects without free will.
"That's reasonable..."
Abes retracted the slap he had slapped on Hirayama's face and turned back to look at Sister Agatha, who had returned to normal.
If the giant we met in the underground cemetery outside the East City Gate was so special, the black liquid that spewed out of his mouth could turn sand and stone, which had no life or soul, into a real undead creature;
The extraordinary thing about this giant lizard in front of us is that he can continuously control the creatures around him, and use the bright green liquid from his mouth to bestow powerful blessings and continuous repairs on these careless people. He can even cleanse and strengthen himself after the death of these sacrificed creatures.
It can even absorb the surrounding magic power and even vitality to restore itself when it is at its wits' end.
This is why Bing Nagi felt that the speed of magic power leakage was increasing, and why those lizardman warriors became shorter and smaller one by one, and finally disappeared.
Therefore, the lizard giant in front of him should be able to obtain a steady stream of younger brothers, strengthen them, and feed back to himself.
I don't know if it has the limit of growth potential to match the extraordinary living production device of the undead creature that gushes black water.
However, for some unknown reason, when this brave man of his is present, the opponent's killer move of controlling the free will of others will be suppressed.
Moreover, the other party is very smart.
It was only when I was thirty-five feet away that Hiiragi and Sister Agatha showed signs of abnormality. This did not mean that my suppression range was thirty-five feet, but rather a shorter distance.
In this case, if he had not rushed over in a flash, awakened Bingnag and pressed his hands back onto the ice, the lizard giant would probably have broken through the ice and escaped.
"What the hell does this happen?"
Sister Agatha came back to her senses from her trance, looked at the dagger clenched in her hand, and looked at the lizard giant in the thick ice in front of her with a trace of palpitations.
And Bing Nagi felt that her face was burning with pain for some unknown reason, and it seemed that it was about to swell up.
"Oh, didn't I tell you that the experiment might cause some minor harm to your body?"
Abes waved his hand and explained calmly, "Ms. Hirugashi, weren't you casting a spell with your right hand on the ice? Maybe your magic power was blocked just now, causing the magic circuit to be blocked, which in turn caused the left side of your face to swell up."
"As for Sister Agatha...what was your state just now? Do you still have any memory or feeling?"
Sister Agatha was called by Abbes, which naturally meant that she was a control group.
Although this nun was a bit unorthodox, she studied the differences between divine magic and arcane magic to create magic crystals, and also improved the rune engine of the religious union organization [Underworld Covenant].
But in the final analysis, she is a real clergyman and a person who is protected by the gods.
If she could also be turned into a puppet that lost its free will, then the power of the lizard giant in front of her would probably be extraordinary.
When asked, Sister Agatha was quite embarrassed and put the dagger in her hand back into the soles of her shoes and the straps on her legs.
Abes' eyes twitched when he saw this scene. Who could have imagined that a grandmother-aged clergyman, when pushed into a corner, would have two daggers hidden on his body that could be wielded with great force?
Sister Agatha frowned but still shook her head. "To be honest, I have no recollection of what happened just now. I only felt some strange buzzing sound lingering in my ears."
"Do you have any idea?"
The two of them looked at Abes together, and he himself was actually in a daze.
However, at least one guess came out of Abes's mouth.
"Perhaps it has something to do with the group of people in our original brave team."
What suppressed the giant that was spewing black water was the sacred stone base of the statue of Grigor Stovein, the Asmok paladin who was Abes' teammate a thousand years ago.
The only one who could restrain the Lizard Titan from seizing the free will of others was Abes himself.
"Perhaps during our past battles with the Dragon Slayer, we may have acquired some strange restraint chains and powers..."
I didn't gain any new protection, so it was obvious that it couldn't be the effect of a certain protection that was suppressing the opponent.
What's more, even if it is really the blessing that works, why is it the base stone of the statue that is used by the Asmo Paladin?
You can't say that the stone protects you, right?
The three of them discussed for a long time but still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Instead, a newer question popped up.
"So, what are you going to do with this giant lizard?"
Keep him within thirty-five feet at all times?
It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.
Not to mention that this lizard giant is now nearly twenty meters in height.
Just from what Hiori said before, that she felt a serious loss of magic power when casting spells, it is already a big problem.
It seemed that Abes had only cut off the other party's ability to make people lose their free will, but he was unable to prevent the other party from continuously using the creatures around him for sacrifice, allowing himself to gradually recover during the cleansing.
Hugging a nearly twenty-meter-long lizardman is already abnormal, but if you let your teammates and companions suffer a debuff, it would be a heinous crime.
Abes' thoughts wandered for a moment, but he soon came up with a solution.
The range of his suppression was definitely more than thirty-five feet, and the other party's ability to absorb the magical energy of surrounding creatures and feed it back to itself should not be that abnormal.
Otherwise, when he had not yet joined the battle, shouldn't this guy have directly dominated General Paddy and those ordinary soldiers, and absorbed all of General Paddy's "Qi" as a monk?
Perhaps, as the other party grows in height and size, the range and effectiveness of the "green syrup" he spits out will become more than just a matter of degrees.
There is also the ability to control the free will of others, and the intensity, efficiency and coverage of the magic power absorbed by the surrounding creatures.
As long as you weaken the opponent to a certain extent, and then lock him up in a place where you can suppress him and no one else's magic can be absorbed, everything can be solved.
As luck would have it, Abes had such a place, which was the portable space in his [Protection of Long Journey].
That place is really right next to him, but there is no doubt that if the lizard giant goes there, he will never find a being that can absorb magic power and repair himself.
And this is the method to seal the Lizard Giant.
After choosing the place, all Abes needs to do is to weaken the Lizardmen to the extent that he can fit into the space.
As for how to weaken it? Is there any need to say more?
Even if he used the Second Fury and Rest Song tactics, he could only fight against the lizard giant that was more than ten meters tall for a period of time.
Now, of course, we have to use grenades to deal with the twenty-meter-tall lizard giant.
After making up his mind, Abes also spoke.
"Mobilize a batch of grenades from Sweetleaf Town that are twice as heavy as the ones the grenadiers just threw."
"Once the grenades arrive, Hiinagi, you won't have to work so hard to maintain the ice layer. Sister Agatha, you can go back as soon as possible."
