Chapter 385 Disasters
Tristan could feel a strong impact from the air above his head.
And his eyes saw how the monster suddenly swooped down and hit Hanz\'s body with its head.
Hanz was still trying to restrain him with his sword. However, something that was beyond the limits of his calculations happened.
CRACK!
The three swords that had protected him from the deadly attack suddenly broke, unable to withstand the pressure that was so great that it exceeded the limit.
WOOSH!
Hanz\'s body was pushed, free-falling from a height of 100 meters above the ground. Beneath him were stones from the ruins of the pillars that had been partially shattered by the battle.
Hanz threw away his shapeless broken sword and tried to find a way not to end up pitifully.
He turned his body, changing the direction of his fall towards the giant poison gas-absorbing tree created by King Ivaasar. Then he started praying.
SRUUGG!
CRASH! BANG!
The body burst into the tree. He crashed onto some of its leaves, broke some of its branches, and then ended up falling on top of the rubble, away from swamp water.
Tristan could still feel the signs of life on Hanz\'s body which was already covered in scratches and didn\'t move an inch where he landed.
"This is bad."
The fighting conditions on the front lines did not improve.
Kolvar joined in helping King Ivaasar to attack the rampaging Jormungand, while Osgiliath was busy with the king, who had been unable to speak since the attack he received.
"Forgive me. But this expedition cannot continue. i need to save my king first" Osgiliath felt that he had to make a wiser decision.
The safety of the king was the most important of all. And the already helpless King Castian couldn\'t say anything. Blood started to come out through his mouth and nostrils.
"I will take you away from here, My King."
He really didn\'t care about the mission of defeating the monsters anymore.
Meanwhile, King Ivaasar was getting tired. He had used his power without pausing for a moment. And defending the giant tree was also constantly draining his energy.
"This is an impossible!, we need a different plan!." Callan dashed down to Hanz and carried him. Queen Leena did the same. And they made Guardian-Zilant chase after them, swooping down from the air.
"No! Protect the tree!" King Ivaasar shouted, but no one listened.
Everyone was busy trying to save themselves. And-
BANG!
The Guardian-Zilant succeeded to destroy the mythical tree by sliding at full speed toward it. It broke the trunk, and the tree fell, some of it fell into the swamp water.
ROARRR!
When the tree had stopped functioning, the smoke from Jormungand\'s body came back out through the cracks in his wide-open body valves again.
"No! We have to retreat! regroup!" Osgiliath had already flown with the king\'s body away from Jormungand.
The collapse of the protective power of the giant tree made green smoke billow again. King Ivaasar held his breath as his body was already in that puff of smoke.
"Kolvar! We have to run for now! Retreat!"
SPLAT!
Tristan and King Vizier successfully completed the task, killing Guardian-Naja a second time.
As he watched from a distance. Jormungand suddenly opened its mouth and shot a thick green liquid at Kolvar.
PYAKK!
The liquid shot at such a suprised that the high elves eleder couldn\'t dodge it.
His body felt burn all of a sudden. It was as if a fire was burning him from within not even a half magus could withstand. Kolvar started removing his armour one by one as he couldn\'t contain the burning feeling inside his body.
"The world serpent toxic" King Ivaasar looked a little desperate.
"Am I going to die?" Kolvar asked hopelessly.
HISSS!
Jormungand hissed and then opened his mouth again. However, before he could aim at King Ivaasar, the king had already darted away in time to avoid the attack.
The atmosphere was getting worse.
The fall of the poison-sucking tree and the start of Jormungand shooting the [world seprent toxic] brought the elves closer to defeat.
"We have to retreat. Now!" King Ivaasar gave the command. Still trying to dodge Jormungand\'s relentless fire.
When the pillar was hit by the slime, it instantly melted and crumbled into pieces of goo.
The only thing that could give the elve\'s body more time before ending up the same as the stone was his immortal body.
But still, no one could survive the poison.
"Leave me! i will held it down" Kolvar already knew there was no way he could survive.
However, just as King Ivaasar had slowly flown backwards away from him,
Tristan suddenly shot forward and slammed into Kolvar\'s body, forcibly dragging him.
"What are you doing?" Kolvar looked displeased at his helpless position in the blood elf\'s hands.
"Save your life!" Tristan made his point, even though he was actually worried about the other souls that Kolvar had been keeping for so long would be wasted.
King Ivaasar was amazed to see Tristan\'s life-risking action darting through the poison smoke and approaching the terrifying Jormungand.
"This blood elf is…"
"Watch out!" Queen Leena shrieked from afar.
King Ivaasar, who was distracted by Tristan\'s plan, couldn\'t dodge when his leg became the target of Jormungand\'s poison aim.
"Ugh.."
Queen Leena flew quickly towards her husband and caught him before falling from the air.
"A cave! retreat there!" Tristan shouted towards Queen Leena, who was not far behind him.
And with their remaining energy and stifled breaths, they shot towards a gap hidden beneath the two pillars that collapsed against each other.
WOOSH!
BANG!
The four of them were thrown to the ground within the gap. Immediately, they regained their breath.
Meanwhile, Kolvar and Ivaasar. What about the fate of those affected by the toxic?
