"Enemy attack …"
Loud shouts resounded through the sky.
Grimm's expression instantly changed.
The first wave of attack was not concentrated, with only a hundred or so arrows at most.
However, what was even more frightening was that these arrows were all Enchanted Feathered Arrows.
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh … *
Hundreds of enchanted arrows landed on the giant airship amidst ear-piercing screeches.
The elves hiding in the dark were also very cunning. They actually let go of the ten metallic Battle Magic Machines and aimed their arrows at the wizards in cloth robes.
Unexpected … Truly unexpected!
Ever since they entered the Calan Continent, their journey had been smooth sailing. Coupled with the fact that they had never had any direct conflict with the elves, Grimm had unknowingly let his guard down.
He did not expect to be ambushed on such a large scale in the wilderness where elves could not be seen. Furthermore, they were being attacked by enchanted arrows.
* Pfft pfft pfft … *
The sound of arrows piercing into flesh could be heard continuously.
Grimm and the other three were pierced by a dense number of arrows. The violent Force of Nature instantly tore their cloth robes into pieces. The four of them were in great pain, and their mouths were filled with blood. The two witches howled in pain and fell to the ground.
Grimm roared towards the sky, and his body instantly spewed out boiling lava and high temperature flames that could corrode bones and corrode flesh. The enchanted arrows stuck in his body were roasted red in an instant, then softened into molten iron and flowed down.
Grimm had already completed the elemental transformation of his body and mind. Although this external attack made him feel very uncomfortable, it was still not enough to kill him.
Furthermore, the insect lich Bliss was a monster that was difficult to kill with physical attacks.
If not for the strange Force of Nature in the arrows of the elves, they would not even be able to cause a slight injury to Bliss.
Hence, after withstanding the impact of the Force of Nature, the Insect Lich Bliss stood up straight once more. He did not care about the densely packed arrows on his body at all. Instead, he stared with his ferocious compound eyes, his gaze locked onto the agile figures that were stepping on ancient tree branches and leaping towards the giant floating ship.
Grim and Bliss were not seriously injured, but the two witches were completely different.
They were obviously rookies who had just advanced not too long ago, and naturally did not have the terrifying life-saving methods that Bliss had. Amidst the dense rain of arrows, one of them had died while the other was heavily injured, and it could be said to be extremely tragic.
Although one of the witches had been shot like a porcupine, her vitals had not been hit, so she was only seriously injured but not dead. The other witch, on the other hand, was not so lucky. Her body was full of arrows, but the most fatal one was the arrow that pierced through her forehead.
"Damn it … damn it … damn it …"
Grimm couldn't help but roar furiously as he sensed a witch's life force rapidly slipping away.
At this time, the enemy's second wave of arrows arrived!
"Kill them … kill them for me …" Grim roared furiously.
Amidst his earth-shattering roar, the insect lich Bliss laughed coldly. His body suddenly exploded, turning into an uncountable swarm of black insects that charged towards the first batch of enemies.
Although Grim wanted to rush forward and crush a few enemies to vent his anger, he could only force himself to calm down. He pointed at the dying witch on the ground and cast a flame shield on her.
One had already died, and the heavily injured one could not die as well. Otherwise, it would be a huge loss!
It had to be said that the main reason the elves' first wave of arrows could cause so much damage to the Magi was that the Magi were not prepared for it.
Magi, in essence, were just a bunch of humans with powerful abilities!
Without the protection of witchcraft, an arrow that hit a vital point could take away a Wizard's life.
However, once the Magi were vigilant and wrapped themselves in the protection of defensive spells, it would not be easy for the elves to kill them with long-range attacks. At least, the elves currently did not have the ability to kill an official Magus with a single arrow.
The second volley of arrows arrived once more.
This time, they were destined to return empty-handed.
The heavily injured witch on the ground had three flame shields around her. Although they trembled from the arrows enchanted with the power of nature, they did not shatter. As for the arrows that were shot at Grimm, they quickly softened after entering his Flame Barrier, and then smashed into pieces on his suddenly expanding body.
The enraged Grim immediately turned into a terrifying flame demon and strode towards the heavily injured witch, shielding her with his body.
At this moment, Bliss, who had turned into a swarm of black insects, had already clashed with the first wave of enemies and started fighting fiercely.
This wave of enemies were all bare-chested, wearing only a pair of tight leather pants. Their bodies were covered with strange magic runes — Sword Dancers.
Sword Dancers were a special profession for Elven Warriors.
They could not wear armour and could only wear leather or cloth armour, so they were considered to be low-armour or unarmoured warriors. They wielded two long, narrow elven swords, and their bodies were covered with the unique runes of the Sword Dancers. These runes could increase their agility and reaction speed, but most of them had a strange ability to confuse the enemy's senses.
When the Sword Dancers brandished their swords and charged into the enemy's formation, their flashing bodies and elven runes could deceive the enemy's vision, causing them to be unable to pinpoint the exact position of the Sword Dancers and their hand gestures.
The Sword Dancers had almost no defensive abilities, and relied entirely on their high agility and nimble body movements to dodge the enemy's attacks, dealing a swift blow to the enemy when their swords clashed.
The minimum requirement to advance to become a Sword Dancer was to stay in a dark room with ten swinging metal balls full of sharp metal spikes hanging from the ceiling for a quarter of an hour.
Hence, the most powerful ability of the Sword Dancers was their ability to dodge attacks!
Unfortunately, this ability was useless against the Insect Lich, Bliss. Without the protection of thick armour, the Sword Dancer could not stop the millions of insects from biting at him.
Hence, the huge swarm of insects that gathered and dispersed were like tigers in a pack of wolves, completely ignoring the blades in the Sword Dancer's hands as they swarmed and crawled over his body. In just a few seconds, when the swarm of insects suddenly flew away, there was only a corpse that was completely green and had been bitten beyond recognition.
Bliss's efficiency in killing was not high, but his pounces were accurate. In the blink of an eye, seven of the thirty Sword Dancers on the deck of the floating airship had fallen. As for the sorrowful and indignant sword dancers, no matter how they swung their sabers, they were unable to stop the black insects from penetrating through.
"These damned Magi … Sword Dancers, spread out and leave this fellow to the druids. You guys go kill that fire person and the witch …"
A nimble female elf leapt onto the side of the airship and looked down at the battlefield, shouting out commands. As she roared, she quickly drew her bow and shot two arrows at the swarm of black insects.
Unlike before, these two arrows were as fast as shooting stars, exploding into two huge fireballs the moment they came into contact with the black beetles.
Many of the insects that the Sword Dancers had failed to surround were blasted to death by the fireballs, and insect corpses fell to the ground. The black insects shrieked and flew tens of metres away in an instant, condensing into Bliss's appearance in the air.
However, compared to before, his body seemed to have shrunk a little, and he did not look as bloated as before.
Bliss roared angrily at the female elf, and 14 peculiar scorpions crawled out of his body. These scorpions were only the size of a fingernail at first, but when they left Bliss's body, they immediately swelled to the size of bulls and crawled towards the female elf on the metal deck.
However, before Bliss could retaliate against the female elf, tens of oddly dressed elves jumped onto the airship and roared as they charged at him.
Halfway through their charge, the oak staves in the hands of these strange elves flashed with green light. Amidst a burst of mist, their bodies transformed into violent earth bears and fire wolves as they pincer attacked Bliss.
The 14 scorpions and the large group of druids immediately clashed on the airship's deck.
The Sword Dancers and druids had already appeared, and the flower elves, who had the most number of elves, were naturally not to be left behind.
This was a group of flower fairies that were only the size of two palms and had cicada-like thin wings on their backs. They looked like miniature versions of female elves. Their curvaceous bodies were not clothed, only relying on some entangling vines to cover their vital parts.
Their skin was green, their hair was green, and their eyes were a strange black.
These Flower Fairies were a kind of Nature Attribute Monster. Their attack method was their fast flying speed and terrifying claws. There was no doubt that their claws contained a deadly poison!
The Magus that could transform into insects did not seem to be easy to deal with. These flower elves, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, targeted the female Magus who was lying on the ground on her last breath. It was a pity that there was a tall Flame Demon standing there, spewing flames all over his body. Any flower elf that entered within 50 metres of him would wail miserably as their bodies spontaneously combusted.
This immediately frightened the flower elves, causing them to fly around the tall Flame Demon like a swarm of hornets. However, they did not dare to charge into the faint layer of flames.
"That Flame Demon is a rank 2 Magus. I'll go deal with him! You try to get rid of this big insect … "Isaac yelled at the female elf captain and led seven or eight druids towards Grimm.
The female elf captain looked at the tall Flame Demon that Grimm had transformed into with a solemn expression. Her heart was unusually heavy.
They had killed a female Magus and heavily injured another. It seemed like this was a glorious battle, but the surviving Magi were getting more and more difficult to deal with. If a few fellows of the same strength came out of the airship, today's battle would probably …
However, just as she was thinking, the 10 battle magic machines had already formed a dense formation and began to charge at the elves.
