Chapter 771: Chapter 36 Procrastination_1

"Boom," the massive sand dune finally exploded, and the Marsh Stalker managed to dig its way out from the rubble. At this point, the Lurker covered itself with small particles of sand, which stuck to its body due to its sticky secretions, forming blotches and made the Lurker appear even more revolting. Not only that, but its suckers used for capturing prey were also full of yellow sand. The fleshy suckers, without any scales covering their surface, were now infiltrated by the sand particles. The coarse grains rubbed against the tender meat of the suckers with each movement, every friction, caused it more agony.

However, its ill-fate did not end yet because the silver-haired priestess still stood in its way. During the dozen or so seconds the Stalker was trapped in the cage and sand dunes, Lina was fully prepared for the casting. When the Marsh Stalker finally crawled out from the sand dune, it was greeted by Lina, bearing a pure smile and pointing at it from a distance, and then it found itself unable to move.

Its tentacles could still swing freely, its olive-shaped body covered in fleshy bumps could still expand and shrink freely, but it was unable to move. Its simple brain could not comprehend what was happening, it didn’t understand why it couldn’t move, but it could feel that the force it used to move seemed to have been neutralized by the earth.

"In the name of Denia, elements of the earth, heed my command." Commanding prayers rarely appeared in the chants of the Clergy, but this time they did, and they had a noticeable effect. Under Lina’s command, the earth seemed to merge with her. The silver-haired priestess felt as if she had become part of the earth, as if she could control every inch of the surrounding land just like she could control her own limbs. Every piece of it, from the ton-sized blocks of sand to the needle-point grains, were all under Lina’s control and could change freely according to her will. She even felt that, if she wished, she could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to turn and crack. With such a power, a single Demigod magical beast, even a group of them, could be crushed by the earth in an instant. However, the young girl remained calm, she did not recklessly unleash her power but as always, she planned her power usage carefully, trying to achieve the maximum effect with the smallest possible consumption.

Then, the Marsh Stalker found itself unable to move because it had become an enemy of the earth. Every time its manufactured tentacles applied force to move forward, the ground sank the moment it sensed the pressure, causing its force to fall into the void. After the tentacle’s force was spent, the sunken ground would immediately return to normal, as if nothing had happened. Thus, although the Marsh Stalker could stand on the ground, it could not move forward. Its tentacle was constantly pushing, the body remained in place, this exaggerated act, like a clown performance, made the disgusting Marsh Stalker suddenly ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Freya’s Energy Bullet, Vivian’s Fireball, were moving from broad to precision attacks. Freya switched to frost bullets, Vivian still used a fireball, and the two always attacked the same target in turn. The constant switching between extreme cold and extreme hot made the semi-god-level robust body of the Stalker unable to withstand it, and within a short minute, three fleshy bumps burst under the alternating attacks of the two. Catherine and Ava weren’t idle either. The two close-range physical professionals relentlessly entangled the Lurker that had just been lifted by Catherine, trying not to let it interfere with Lina’s control of their kind

This was the first time the girls saw Ava’s full-strength combat. Without knowing from the previous drills, it was doubtful that anyone would believe that such a doll-like little girl would have such a direct style of fighting. She had no weapon in her hand, her fists were her weapon, petite and fair fists. A tentacle attacking? A punch to repel it. A Bone Mountain blocking the way? A punch to scatter it. Get close to the enemy? A punch to have the enemy struggle in pain. This fighting style was just like a Berserker’s, lacking only the madness and bloodthirstiness of Berserkers, and she could remain calm at all times. Ava didn’t use Aggression, nor did she need to. Her physical strength was enough to replace the amplification of Aggression. When the long, black tentacle swept over her, the girl punched it in a simple lowering of her center of gravity, and the small fist collided with the huge tentacle, just like a needle bumping into a full-fledged hammer. But it was indeed the tentacle that represented the hammer that bounced off, and the dark tentacle was directly bounced into mid-air by the counter-shock. Ava just sway a little and then danced around the Stalker’s body like a butterfly.

The collision of strength made Ava’s petite body seem extraordinarily towering. From her, the girls seemed to see the beautiful figure of a goddess brushing her long blonde hair with an ivory comb once again. It could be imagined that perhaps hundreds of thousands of years ago, on the battlefield with the gods, the Sigein of that year also used her white and petite fist as a weapon, a punch tore the sky, a punch shattered the ground, a punch could let gods fall. However, compared with Sigein, Ava was after all a child. The blood oozing from the corner of her mouth showed that the girl’s battle was not easy, but the expressionless face of Ava showed no signs of exhaustion. She was still focused on swinging her fists, and occasionally, she would open her third eye between punches and let everything in front of her melt in a white light.

"Sis, something’s not right." After nearly a minute of tussling and control, Lina, who had been focused on controlling, was the first to notice the changes and reminded Catherine cautiously, "Watch their behavior, something’s changing."

"I noticed it too." Catherine patted Ava’s shoulder, and the two retreated several steps in succession, pulling a fifty-meter distance from the Lurker and just outside the tentacle’s attack range. She responded loudly, "They seem to want to escape."

"No, it’s not about escaping." Vivian amplified her voice with Sound Amplification Magic and shouted from afar, "Note the direction they want to go."

"That’s where Pannis is." Catherine’s face changed as she shouted aloud, "Are they trying to regroup with their companion there? No wonder Pannis is keeping a distance. There must be a reason we’re not aware of. We have to stop them."

"Of course, isn’t that the purpose of our fight?" Even with increased volume, Freya’s voice still sounded as intoxicating as fine wine, "It seems that the fight at Pannis’s side is almost over, and that’s why they’re in such a hurry. If we can delay them until he comes back, we’ll have won half the battle."

"However, things aren’t that easy." Catherine swung her long sword. The shiny one-handed sword was now coated with a sticky substance, and the straw-colored slime made the sword look dirty, stirring in Catherine an impulse to throw them aside. Yet, the professional girl wouldn’t do this. Instead, she let out another battle cry, standing side by side with Ava to block the path of the Lurkers, entangling them in place.

This fight was not as straightforward as the previous one. In the previous fights, the two Marsh Stalkers seemed reserved, but now they were completely unreserved, caring little about whether they themselves would get hurt. As long as the attack was not too formidable, they disregarded it, determined to break through the girls’ defenses. As a result, the pressure on Catherine and Ava augmented by leaps and bounds, with the difference in size and strength between them becoming apparent. Despite the girl’s efforts, their defense was gradually overpowered, inch by inch.

"Legion Assembly." Catherine made a sudden retreat and raised her long sword high. Ava increased her power in sync, temporarily withstanding the pressure alone, buying enough time for her companion. At Catherine’s call, the flags fluttered again, and the ethereal knight spirits formed a neat square behind Catherine. Covered with thick jackets, the spirits looked as one with their knight riders. Catherine’s sword traced half a circle in the air before pointing sharply diagonally forward towards the location of the Marsh Stalkers. The golden Aggression burst from the thousand Gold Rank knights, their horses accelerating from slow to fast, charging fearlessly in the direction of the sword tip.

Gold and Demigod, there was too much difference in rank. Even if the Demigod was a magical beast that couldn’t use Shield, the gold-ranked knights were unable to inflict damage on the Demigod’s body. Still, they maintained composure, controlling their horses without hesitation or pause. They charged courageously against the formidable enemy, like true brave knights.

The Marsh Stalkers were baffled by the sudden appearance of countless lifeless insects in their surroundings, unable to comprehend the meaning of the skill, but this did not hinder their attack. As the tentacles waved, swathes of knights were struck square by them, turning into light points before they could approach the Stalkers. Some knights were wrapped by the tentacles midway and swayed in the air. But the knights’ spirits wouldn’t be corroded by the paralysis toxin, and as long as they hadn’t turned into points of light, they would continue to wield their weapons, attacking the tentacles that held them, until the Demigod’s power destroyed the body.

The collective charge of a thousand knights was powerful, causing even the Demigod beasts to halt their steps, unable to move a meter further. Though anxious, the magical beasts had no option but to entangle themselves with the knights.

"Sister, take over here." Just as things seemed to be going in their favor, Lina’s urgent call came, followed by an exclamation, "Ah~~~" (To be continued.
