Twin-headed Horse Spiders?
Yang Ling could not find any mories associated with the Twin-headed Horse Spiders even after he sifted through the mories of the Unicorn and Tarantula King. He could not understand how terrifying these creatures much have been to make the fox elder so fearful!
Soon, the fierce Twin-headed Horse Spiders showed him why the elder was so terrified!
After letting out a collective roar, the speedy Twin-headed Horse Spiders accelerated once again, charging toward the group as fast as a rocket. A dark red light appeared around their bodies, and even the harpoons of the Dogn bounced off as if they had hit a thick layer of steel. The arrows of the elf archers didn’t stand a chance.
“Use the Demon Dispelling Technique to remove the Blood Shield around their bodies. We must not let them charge into our ranks!” the fox elder reminded the few Spellcasters beside him loudly. He muttered for a mont and dispelled the Blood Shield magic from a few of the Twin-headed Horse Spiders.
According to the historical records, the Twin-headed Horse Spiders were a mutated Magical Beast cursed by the Demon God of Hell. They not only possessed imnse strength and had precise attacks, they were also naturally equipped with the Blood Shield spell and could reflect fifty percent of the close-range damage done to them. They were incredibly powerful. The outco would be disastrous if the spiders reached their ranks.
At the critical mont, the Ogres and Bulln stepped forward!
After a roar, a five mile radius of the Bloodthirsty Ring of Light appeared from the body of the Twin-headed Ogre Braska, scattering continuously. Soon, the few hundred Ogres all slipped into a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Their powerful muscles bulged up, and their thick veins beca clearly visible. It was as if they had expanded in an instant, their eyes turning red with bloodthirst. They raised their giant clubs and stepped forward. They smashed the heads of the Twin-headed Horse Spiders leading the pack with a re strike.
In front of absolute power, everything else was but an empty threat!
The Ogres were already a powerful race fad for their massive strength, but after slipping into a Bloodthirsty Frenzy, their strength reached unprecedented levels. They smashed their clubs down so quickly that even the air crackled. Even though the Blood Shield on the Twin-headed Horse Spiders could reduce fifty percent of all close-range damage, they still could not take the full power of the Ogres.
In front of the fierce Twin-headed Horse Spiders, if the Ogres were like a at wall, then the ferocious Bulln were a sharp blade.
Under the command of the ox chief, a few hundred Bulln neatly released waves upon waves of shockwave-like attacks. Within a ten step radius, the stomachs of the sieging Twin-headed Horse Spiders were all sliced open, as if they had co into contact with a sharp cleaver.
After the impact wave, the Bulln also had an ability called the War Trample. Slamming the ground with their heavy war halberds, they imdiately released a circle of tremors. Within a thirty step radius, the sieging Twin-headed Horse Spiders staggered as if hit by sothing heavy, all of them becoming dizzy and giving the Ogres an opportunity to pick them off.
There were many types of Beastn, and even the fox elder was unsure of how many splinter races there were. Amongst the many powerful races, in terms of their ability in large scale battles, no one would dare claim to be better than the Bulln. Even the powerful Sparton Lionn were no exception.
Two thousand years ago, the first king of the Rossi Empire, Aston Vela, had once said that if the Beastn had an army of twenty thousand Bulln, they would be able to establish an independent nation even without Sage level experts. If the Beastn had eighty thousand elite Bulln warriors, they would be able to occupy the richest Bavaria Plains in the Tailun Continent.
Unfortunately, the Creator was fair. The Bulln were imnsely powerful, but their numbers were nothing to boast about.
Over the millennia, faced with the frequent wars and the terrible living conditions, they were not only unable to proliferate and prosper, their numbers instead declined over the years. In the entire Tailun Continent, even with the old and weak, their numbers totaled only about ten thousand, scattered in various parts of the wilderness.
After forcefully stopping the first wave of attacks from their opponents, the Ogres and Bulln launched a unified counter attack. Soon, they worked together with one another seamlessly. The Ogres were responsible for stopping the advances of the Twin-headed Horse Spiders, slamming their heads in with their clubs, while the Bulln quickly followed up with their giant halberds in hand, imdiately slicing the necks of the enemy with one strike.
On the battlefield, the Twin-headed Ogre and the ox chief were formidable and exceptionally eye-catching!
The Twin-headed Ogre maintained the Bloodthirsty Ring of Light. Wherever he passed, both Ogres and the Bulln slipped into a frenzy. The ox chief cast the Endurance Ring of Light. Wherever it passed, the warriors felt energized, their bodies filled with stamina.
The Ogres were in a bloodthirsty frenzy and killed with every strike, while the Bulln had their impact waves and War Trample, coupled with the Endurance Ring of Light...
The synergy between the different units in battle was fully displayed at the present mont!
From a bird’s eye view above the tunnel, the eight-legged Twin-headed Horse Spiders with their imnse charging abilities seed to be slamming themselves into a wall of steel, unable to advance. There was no use for their sharp fangs.
The spiders had imnse strength. If they had encountered the elf archers, they would have killed off a large portion of them in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, the units they encountered were the strong Ogres!
The Twin-headed Horse Spiders had sharp fangs, able to bite off even sharp blades, much less human flesh. Unfortunately, they encountered the Bulln, touted as the best infantry units in the world!
Roar...
Seeing the Twin-headed Horse Spiders suffering heavy casualties, their formation in disarray, Yang Ling and the rest heaved a collective sigh of relief. But just as they were prepared to wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads, another angry roar ca suddenly from deep within the cave. In that mont, the Twin-headed Horse Spiders seed to have been urged on, roaring as they charged forward, unafraid of death. Even if they died, they would take a bite out of the Ogres and Bulln.
Bloodthirst, mania, death...
Under the agitation of the roar, the Twin-headed Horse Spiders attacked insanely as if having lost their rational thought. A thick layer of Blood Shield ford around their bodies.
Smashing down, the Ogres seed to have hit the shell of a thousand-year-old turtle. Even if they were able to disorientate the spiders, they often shook in recoil, the flow of their blood reversing. After a few recoils, so of the Ogres even started to bleed from the mouth, as if they had suffered serious internal injuries.
They would suffer half of the damage they inflicted as recoil. The outco was rather serious if they were unable to kill with a single blow. It was lucky that the Ogres had thick hides and muscles and their life force was incredibly rich. If they had been the elf archers, they might have taken out their Twin-headed Horse Spiders at the expense of losing their own forces.
With the mutation, the pressure on the Ogres and Bulln increased. So of them were sent flying back by the bestial Twin-headed Horse Spiders, and so bled incessantly after they got bitten by the dying spiders. Seeing the strange situation, the Twin-headed Ogre and the ox chief attacked with all their might, making their way around the battlefield as they led the group in retaliation against the spider’s counterattack.
“Goode, heal the injured, quick!”
Faced with the crazed counterattacks of the Twin-headed Horse Spiders, Yang Ling didn’t waste ti. He imdiately sent forward the barbarians who were guarding their back. He then mobilized a team of Dogn to bring the injured Ogres and Bulln back in the main formation while getting Goode and the other Spellcasters to administer first aid.
Seeing how powerful the Bulln were, Yang Ling had an idea. He hoped to form a team of heavy infantry with the Ogres and Bulln as its main forces until he tad a large group of Magical Beasts who mainly utilized close combat. This unit would be responsible for taking the front line. With their exceptional abilities when it ca to close combat, their battle abilities would be unimaginable if they were wearing heavy armor tailored for them!
Letting out fierce roars, the barbarians lifted their giant axes and charged into the battlefield. They ford teams of five under the commands of their leader and joined forces against the bestial Twin-headed Horse Spiders.
Compared to the Ogres and Bulln, while they were slightly weaker in terms of pure strength, they had an advantage in speed and alarming explosive power. Their violent charges also subjected the Twin-headed Horse Spiders to various tornts.
Under the cover of the Dogn, dusas, and elf archers, Spellcasters such as Goode and the fox elder cast various spells, attacking the Twin-headed Horse Spiders that could not charge over to them. Walls of fire, icicles, lightning... The variety of spells were endless!
As Great Spellcasters, the Magical Energy of Goode and the fox elder were roughly equal. The two of them took turns, casting the Regeneration Spell on the injured Ogres and Bulln.
Magical Beast Blood Orbs were a condensed form of a Magical Beast’s life essence. It could not only quickly replenish Blood Essence and Wizard Power, it could also replenish a person’s life force and Magical Powers. Seeing that many Ogres and Bulln were injured, Yang Ling did not hesitate to take out a large bunch of precious Magical Beast Blood Orbs for Goode and the rest to consu.
At the beginning of the battle, the Bloodthirsty Ring of Light released by the Twin-headed Ogre Braska had stolen the show. At the later stages, the Endurance Ring of Light cast by the ox chief beca the warriors’ best backup.
The ox chief made his way around the battlefield continuously. Anyone, be it the Ogres, barbarians, or Bulln, felt energized after they ca into contact with the Endurance Ring of Light, most of their strength recovering in an instant.
Bloodthirsty Frenzy, Endurance Ring of Light, and the assistance and healing of the Spellcasters. With this much powerful backup, the brave warriors attacked recklessly, tightly securing the advantage.
When Yang Ling waved his hands and sent out the dusas, touted as the Rulers of Blades, the Twin-headed Horse Spiders were even less of a match, losing the battle steadily. Even the frequent roars of fury from deep within the cave did nothing to alleviate the situation!
Suffering heavy casualties, the Twin-headed Horse Spiders retreated like the tide, leaving behind a few thousand of their corpses. They left as quickly as they had co, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Just as Yang Ling was hesitating on whether or not to send a team of brave warriors to race after them, a small dog-sized Nine-tailed Fox leapt out from the tunnel on the right, flashing by them while dragging its nine radiant tails. It disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Yang Ling was unable to determine where it had gone even though he had advanced to the level of Earth Wizard.
“The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox. Oh god, to think that I could witness the fabled Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox!”
Rubbing his eyes, the fox elder trembled in excitent, thinking back to the ancient legend in his tribe. He charged out without caution, hoping that he could find the Nine-tailed Fox that had mysteriously disappeared. In his daze, he tripped on the corpse of a Twin-headed Horse Spider, coming to his senses only after he fell heavily on the ground. Thinking back to the ancient legend, he realized sothing, and his expression changed in the blink of an eye.
