Chapter 197: big accident
The two spellcasting methods of divine power and mana have their own merits, and it is impossible to talk about who is stronger and who is weaker. But there are times when divine power is more convenient than mana—for example, right now.
The efficiency of transferring magic power between mages is generally relatively low. Unless both parties have undergone special special training, each person's magic power fluctuations are different, and it is very expensive to transmit them to each other. For this reason, the mages have specially developed some special means, such as spell pools and the like. But anyway, it's very troublesome.
In contrast, when the divine power is transmitted between priests, as long as the divine power is converted into a pure state as much as possible, it can be transmitted with less loss. Just like what the priests of the God of Suffering Church did just now, converting divine power into holy light, and then letting the panda absorb it, the transmission efficiency is very high.
Seeing this scene, the priests of other churches were thoughtful and began to prepare silently.
When transferring divine power across faiths, the loss is naturally higher than transferring within the same church. But at this moment, everyone can see that, to help Panda recover as much as possible, in order to ensure the victory of the crusade and reduce losses.
If so, is there anything else to consider?
Panda doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes, and he has returned to the front line to fight.
This time, he used his divine power cautiously, and never wasted any more. What kind of morale-boosting effect... I don't do it at all, just condense the power and use it only at the critical moment of killing the monsters as much as possible.
The two-handed sword infused with divine power once again showed its edge. Although it is not as golden as the night, nor does it have the power to cut the monster in half with a sweep of the sword, but for the monster, the neck is cut in half. , or disemboweled, in fact, it is already a fatal injury, and there is no need to cut it in half as exaggerated.
The Panda, who had regained his strength, had an advantage in the face of the beasts who were already a little tired after fighting hard in the middle of the night. In just four or five minutes, three beasts in a row died under his sword.
At this time, there were only twelve or three remaining monsters.
(No problem! With this amount, you can win!)
James stood on the podium, watching the battle situation on the front line, his frowning brow finally stretched out a little.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the mage team in charge of the investigation.
"Something's wrong!" A mage looked at a large group of black shadows that suddenly appeared on the crystal ball, and shouted, "There is a very powerful monster! Very powerful!"
Great monster? !
Everyone looked at each other, surprised.
After so many days of subjugation, the monsters around the entire Wolf's Nest Lake have been lured and killed by rituals again and again. Where can there be any "powerful monsters"?
But the results of the investigation will not deceive people, and as time passes, many people also clearly feel the powerful, ferocious, violent and chaotic aura coming from the direction of Wolf's Nest Lake.
There is indeed a very powerful monster coming!
Of course the panda felt it too, he frowned and hurriedly accelerated.
Although I don't know the origin of the monster that is coming, there is no doubt that everyone needs to do their best to face it. If the last few monsters can be killed before then, at least the dilemma of fighting on both sides can be avoided.
However, there is no good thing in the world that can be achieved. Even if he burst out with all his strength again, other crusade soldiers also fought hard with the same idea. Before that monster came, they only had time to kill nine monsters.
There are three remaining monsters.
However, time is running out.
The ground shook and the mountains swayed, and the sound was like muffled thunder.
A huge figure that was almost taller than the wall of the crusade camp, rushed all the way at an astonishing speed that was completely disproportionate to the seemingly bloated body, and stopped about a hundred meters away from the crusade camp.
This guy is covered in thick scales, has a fish-like torso, a lizard-like head, and turtle-like limbs, with a long tail trailing behind him. From the horns on both sides of its head and its characteristic mouth, the characteristics of the dragon species can be clearly seen.
"Water Dragon..." Not far behind the panda, a middle-aged adventurer who had been fighting so far whispered.
His voice was low and painful, like a moan.
At this time, he was not the only one who made such a noise. Almost everyone in the crusade army wanted to groan in pain.
"How did the magical beasts in Wolf's Den Lake... come ashore?" James was stunned and shouted, "Don't they never come ashore!"
The old knight beside him was also stunned, shaking his head in disbelief: "Impossible! They haven't been ashore for so many years, why did they land today? How could there be such a coincidence!"
Inside the governor's tent at the very center of the crusade camp, the gray-haired governor listened to the report of the intelligence officer, his breathless face, and asked, "Is it possible that someone is behind the trouble?"
"It's unlikely, the water dragon is not an ordinary dragon. It's very arrogant. It's not easy to command it." An aide who also had white hair and beard said, "If you want to lure it... I can't think of anything. Benefit. Whether the water dragon kills us, or we kill the water dragon, I don't see anyone benefiting."
"Is there any possibility of conservative or revolutionary behavior?" the Governor asked.
The staff immediately shook their heads: "They don't have the ability! If they really have the ability to seduce and even tame water dragons, just based on this credit, an earl is indispensable, why waste it?"
The Governor nodded slightly, his brows furrowed.
He is not worried that the crusade will be wiped out by the water dragon—no matter how powerful the water dragon is, after all, this is land, not water, it may cause heavy losses to the crusade, or even not one out of ten, but if it doesn't work, even if some people are left behind After the break, it is always possible for others to retreat.
It's just... the monsters in Wolf's Den Lake came ashore, which worried him more than a mere water dragon.
"Perhaps... it's time to consider asking the capital to send a strong man to clean up the entire Wolf's Nest Lake... This matter is beyond what we can handle..."
The Governor muttered to himself and sighed deeply.
Just as everyone was talking about it, the remaining three beasts suddenly dropped their opponents who were still fighting, turned their heads and ran away. Even if they were shot in the butt, they had no intention of turning back and fighting again.
Seeing how they ran away in a hurry, they were clearly threatened. Just... who threatened them?
Everyone's eyes turned to the water dragon.
To threaten these monsters, no matter how you look at it, only it can do it.
The water dragon didn't respond to people's gazes. It seemed to be a little sleepy, with a pair of huge eyes that seemed to be open or closed. It slowly swept the surroundings, and finally landed on the three beasts that were running away.
In the next instant, its tail was pulled out at an astonishing speed, and it swept the three beasts into a rolling gourd. Far away, and eventually disappeared into the weeds in the distance, without a trace.
The three powerful monsters that were able to fight fiercely with the crusade until now were completely vulnerable in front of it.
