Chapter 283 Armat Chieftain VS Go Gin
The water element troll grinned cruelly, its two prominent sharp teeth reflecting a cold light in the sunlight, as it swung the nail hammer in its hand.
Bang!
An Armat in front was blasted away. Although its fur, tougher than steel, wasn't broken, the point of contact with the nail hammer caved in instantly.
Fragments of internal organs and blood coughed out from the Armat's mouth.
The terrifying force sent the body flying, knocking over several other Armats in the process, their screams blending together.
The Armat chieftain, seeing these superior species of trolls, revealed a surprised expression on his face covered in fine gray fur.
"Water Element Troll, Taki; Earth Element Troll, Dui."
"Squeak, squeak, ha, if I remember correctly, these two fellows have always preferred to act alone and aren't exactly friendly. How could they be together now?"
The whiskers on both sides of the Armat chieftain's cheeks tilted upwards, revealing sharp incisors, as if he had witnessed something unexpected.
These two powerful superior species of trolls were quite well-known in the Abelion Hills region, and coupled with their solitary styles, he naturally knew a thing or two about them.
"Who is that troll in the middle? I've never seen him before." The Armat chieftain's gaze fell on Go Gin in the center.
With the arrival of Go Gin and his companions. The trolls, who were originally at a disadvantage, quickly rallied, while the Armats, facing the powerful Go Gin trio, had to retreat behind their chieftain.
The two sides faced each other, standing in opposition.
"What's with this group of demi-humans?" Go Gin's expression was somewhat unsightly.
He had been unaware that they had been infiltrated to their lair. Seeing the heavily damaged trollsall around, made him even more annoyed.
"Armats, tough and not tasty," the water element troll, Taki, smacked his lips, commenting.
The earth element troll's pupils shrank as he clearly saw the figure: "Armat King!"
The tongue that had been cut off had now grown back. Armat King, one of the "Ten Heroes of the Demi-Humans"?
Go Gin's spirit shook, his eerie white eyes staring at the taller, stronger gray rat-man standing at the forefront of the group of gray rat-man.
"Squeak, squeak, ha, I remember who you are now!" The Armat chieftain, Gray King, sized up Go Gin, his whiskers twitching, then becoming somewhat fierce: "I heard about you a few months ago, the outsider 'Great Troll' who goes around challenging the strong in the Abelion Hills."
"To actually be able to subdue Taki and Dui, it seems your strength is even greater than the rumors suggest."
"No wonder so many trolls are gathered together, and even trading with humans!"
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Armat King raised his arms, his sharp claws colliding with each other, sparking slight sparks, as he roared: "You damned fellow, you are simply a disgrace to the demi-humans! You are telling those lowly humans how weak you are!"
"Hand over all the grain you traded with the humans, or I will cut you into minced meat and feed it to the dirtiest, weakest goblins!"
Go Gin was expressionless, but his whole body exuded a chill.
"I hate the name 'Great Troll'!"
Go Gin raised the heavy spiked club in his hand, staring coldly at Gray King opposite him: "'Armat King'? I've long wanted to test the level of you so-called 'Ten Heroes of the Demi-Humans'."
Divine Skill Flash!
The ground beneath Go Gin's feet exploded, a faint light flashing across the surface of his body, as he rushed towards Gray King at an extraordinary speed.
The heavy spiked club swung.
Bang!
Armat King crossed his sharp claws in front of his chest, colliding with the spiked club, creating a loud impact.
The air surged. A crack appeared in the ground beneath Armat King's feet, his arms pressing down slightly, but he blocked Go Gin's heavy blow.
"I'll kill you!" Armat King's eyes darkened, and he shouted sharply: "Rat Swarm!"
A gray light enveloped Armat King's entire body, and pairs of scarlet eyes emerged from all over Armat King's body, which were rats the size of fists.
Instantly! A dense swarm of rats poured out from Armat King's body. Because the two sides were extremely close, these rats quickly climbed onto Go Gin's body.
A large number of rats chirped and chattered, seemingly trying to gnaw at Go Gin's flesh.
"What is this ability!"
Go Gin was also encountering this situation for the first time. He immediately retreated, while activating his martial skill: "Outer Skin Enhancement!"
Seeming to be a little uneasy, he used the martial skill again. "Outer Skin Super Enhancement!"
Continuously using two martial skills for defense made the hardness of Go Gin's skin no weaker than ordinary metal.
Pa!
Go Gin slapped the rats that were constantly gnawing on him into a pulp: "Ordinary rats?"
Seeing that these rats could no longer harm him and were just ordinary rats, Go Gin ignored them and rushed up again, swinging his spiked club.
Boom—Bang—Boom!
The two figures fought into a ball in the open space, causing the trolls and Armats behind them to hold their breath involuntarily.
Such strength had far exceeded their imagination.
Many Armats were even more incredulous that the troll could actually fight their chieftain to a standstill.
However. The fierce battle did not last long. The seemingly powerful Go Gin began to be suppressed, and even outsiders could see that Go Gin's movements had clearly slowed down a lot compared to the beginning.
"Squeak, squeak, ha, have you noticed?"
Armat King swung his sharp claws, constantly colliding with the spiked club in Go Gin's hand, and laughed triumphantly: "My rat swarm is not ordinary rats. These lovely little fellows will continuously release a kind of poison."
Go Gin's expression changed: "Force Strike!"
Boom!
The powerful strike separated the two again.
Go Gin quickly retreated, panting heavily. He could now feel his arms and body gradually becoming paralyzed.
"You despicable fellow." Go Gin looked angrily at the triumphant Armat King opposite him.
"Hey, hey, outsider, where do you think this is? This is the Abelion Hills."
Armat King sneered disdainfully, then turned his head and looked at the water element troll and the earth element troll behind him: "I thought those two would remind you, but they didn't do anything. It seems they don't quite submit to you, 'Great Troll'."
The effects of the poison. Caused Go Gin to feel the paralysis in his body becoming more and more serious. This was obviously not an ordinary poison. He shook his head: "I said, I hate that title!"
"Your strength is not bad."
Armat King looked at Go Gin, who was poisoned by the "Rat Plague" and was still able to fight him for so long, and hadn't even fallen down until now, and admiration appeared in his scarlet eyes: "How about submitting to me?"
Hearing this. A surge of anger rose in Go Gin's heart. Again with these words.
"Recruiting my subordinates in front of me."
"I can't pretend I didn't see it." Suddenly, a sinister chuckle came from the sky above.
Armat King's eyes widened, and he quickly raised his head to look towards the sky.
He saw that at some point, a figure wrapped in a red robe was floating in mid-air, quietly watching them.
"Dragon Lightning!"
Minori had no intention of wasting words. These Armats had killed so many trolls, which meant a lot of experience points.
Dazzling dragon-shaped lightning condensed in mid-air, and then instantly struck Armat King.
"Ah! !" Armat King let out a miserable scream.
The electric light dissipated. Armat King's fur turned black, and electric arcs flickered on his fur, which was as hard as steel. He shrieked sharply, "It hurts so much! Get down here! !"
Huh?
"Does he have lightning resistance?"
Minori was somewhat surprised to see Armat King withstand the "Dragon Lightning" attack without suffering serious damage: "In that case, Fire Dragon!"
Crimson flames swept into the sky, turning into a pillar of fire that fell from above.
"Wait, wait a moment!"
The moment Armat King saw the flames, a look of horror appeared in his eyes. He turned to run, but it was already too late.
Boom!
The high-temperature flames engulfed Armat King, causing an explosion.
With the blessing of the passive ability "Blessing of the Elements," the power of the magic was further enhanced and destructive.
The hard fur could not provide any protection under the scorching flames. Armat King was enveloped in flames, letting out shrill wails and screams.
This member of the "Ten Heroes of the Demi-humans," under everyone's gaze, turned into charcoal in the burning flames without any resistance.
'Gained 32789 experience points' [Experience Bar: 462311 / 410000]
All the Armats wore incredulous expressions. For a moment, they were speechless, and a sense of panic spread.
"Fire Dragon."
Minori's faint voice sounded again. The scarlet high-temperature flames crashed down on the Armats' location, turning into a sea of fire and engulfing a large number of them.
"Fire Dragon."
"Fire Dragon."
With two more Fire Dragons, Minori wiped out all of the approximately 800 elite Armats in one go.
'Gained 271 experience'
'Gained 325 experience'
'Gained 308 experience'
'… …' [Experience Bar: 730623 / 410000]
The strength of these Armats averaged above LV10 each, instantly granting Minori approximately 250,000 experience points.
"The experience points provided by these demi-human races, most of whom possess special abilities, are generally far greater than those of monsters of the same level."
A look of surprise flashed in Minori's eyes. He controlled the flying magic and descended from the sky, arriving in front of an Armat who was on the edge of the flames, most of its body charred, with only a breath left.
"Charm!"
The light of magic flashed in Minori's eyes: "Tell me the location of your clan."
He had indeed not considered conquering other demi-human races during this time. Once the drought lasted long enough, these demi-humans would start to riot on their own, which would be a good time to subdue them.
But now. Since they had already come to his door, there was no reason not to return the favor.
Minori lifted the Armat with his one hand, who only had one breath left, turned around, and looked at the figure behind him who could barely stand: "You're really in a sorry state, Go Gin."
"I underestimated him."
Go Gin's cheeks twitched a few times, and he said in a low voice.
He originally thought that the other party was one of the "Ten Heroes of the Demi-humans" and would adopt the same warrior-like fighting style, but he didn't expect him to resort to such petty tricks.
"This is the Abelion Hills, not the arena you were in before."
Minori said indifferently, looking past Go Gin towards the two elemental trolls behind him: "Go Gin, stay here to deal with the corpses. You two, take all the trolls and follow me."
"Yes!"
"Yes!" The water elemental troll and the earth elemental troll excitedly responded.
The Armat race was very large.
This was related to the fact that the Armats did not have many requirements for the environment, their diet was mainly omnivorous, and even their fertility was relatively strong.
Of course. Compared to goblins, their fertility was much weaker, and the growth time of Armats was also relatively long.
Originally, the Armat race was divided into three tribes. Since the appearance of the "Armat King," he had ruled all three tribes, and the total population had exceeded 18,000 people.
They were the most populous race in the southern part of the Abelion Hills.
Under normal circumstances. Most areas of the Abelion Hills were very empty, resources were considered abundant, and coupled with the Armats' omnivorous habit and lack of environmental requirements, the population should not have been so small.
The reason for this was not complicated. In addition to the fact that the Abelion Hills was inherently chaotic, with frequent wars between tribes.
There was also a huge factor. From another demi-human race—the Spidan!
The two demi-human races could be described as having a blood feud, because one of the Spidan's foods was the Armats.
The Spidan's were one of the twelve mainstream races in the Abelion Hills. They were a type of demi-human with four very slender limbs, shaped like spiders.
Armats were born with steel-like body hair, but Spidan's were born with the ability to spit out silk from their mouths. The hardness of these silk threads was comparable to steel, so they were often made into clothing by the Spidan's.
Relying on the steel hardness of the silk threads, coupled with the race's characteristics of being slender and agile, this led to the Armats being clearly at a disadvantage when facing the Spidan.
"These demi-human races are really more special than the last. Humans are indeed much weaker than these demi-humans."
Minori learned about the information of the other party's race from the Armat in his hand and sighed inwardly.
Boom—Boom—
The explosions of flames erupted in the Armats' territory.
Minori, riding on the Bone Dragon, ignored the magical attacks coming from the Armat tribe below, using the powerful force of the 5th-tier magic.
He forcefully blasted open the Armats' defenses.
The Armats' angry roars, miserable wails, and painful screams filled the tribe.
The astonishingly powerful area magic, transformed from "Dragon Lightning" into "Fire Dragon," continuously turned the area below into a sea of fire.
Facing Minori in the sky. All of the Armats' magic could not cause any damage, and arrow-like attacks could not fly too high, even if there were archers with professions like "Skirmishers."
Minori only needed to consume a little magic power to create "Magic Arrows," and he could easily negate these arrows.
Faced with the magical bombardment of a powerful magic caster, and the invasion of thousands of trolls on the periphery.
After resisting for only half a day. The entire Armat tribe completely collapsed.
Minori controlled one of the Armat priests and made him announce the surrender, only gathering about 5,000 Armats.
Apart from the Armats he killed, most of them fled in all directions.
[Experience Bar: 1101052 / 410000]
Minori didn't know how many Armats died at his hands, he only determined that his experience points had once again exceeded one million through the attribute panel.
