Chapter 769
"By the name of Three Gods! That's . . . the Four-winged Eagle!"
"How dare this beast break into the Burning Shrine!"
"Help, help me!"
"Guards, where are the guards?"
Screams of panic and disbelief came from the crowd . Some of the Sand Nation people pulled out their weapons and climbed up the platform to save Lorgar, while the others wanted to flee . The scene suddenly became quite chaotic .
Ashes could see clearly through the smoke that the bird was actually a giant demonic beast . It resembled a demonic hybrid of an eagle and a beetle . The back, lower abdomen, and head were covered with a striped shell . It had six claws and each section could be clearly seen . The front pair was the thickest and held Lorgar firmly on the ground like an iron clamp . The four pairs of wings, which should have been as thin as cicada wings were thick like bird wings and became its most striking feature .
Nature could never produce such an ugly monster .
The demonic beast kept trying to peck her neck while pressing down Wolf Girl . Its claws could not be avoided, and Wolf Girl could only sway from left to right to avoid the attack . The inability to move her body greatly limited the range that she could dodge . In a short time, her cheek already suffered a few scratches, and the fresh blood stained her fur . By the look of things, she would not be able to hold for a long time and would be killed by the demonic beast .
Ashes would definitely not allow it to happen .
Ashes assisted Iron Axe in participating in the Desert Mission because of Tilly; using the holy duel to decide victory was also the choice of the latter . She had the aid of Leaf's herbs and Nana's treatment, so she took this matter very seriously in order not to let Lorgar down . However, Lorgar was still a witch, and so long as she was not evil like a Pure Witch, there was no way Ashes could sit by idly and let her die in the hands of the demonic beast .
"Echo!"
Ashes shouted, and then plunged toward the demonic hybrid . She clung to its mouth at that moment when it was trying to peck again .
The sharp corner of its mouth scratched her arm and the blood dripped bit by bit on Wolf Girl's face, but she was still motionless .
Wolf Girl looked up at Ashes weakly with her remaining eye . Her dark pupil revealed a complex look .
At the same time, Echo's lullaby could be heard . The music gradually dispersed everyone's panic and soothed the crowd that was trying to escape .
Without the interference from the surrounding crowd, repeated gunfire sounds could be heard from where Andrea was standing .
She was different from the First Army that might accidentally wound the witch . Her precise shooting ability ensured that as long as there was a glimmer of space, she could hit the target perfectly .
Ashes saw Lorgar's claws tremble fiercely . Then several rounds of bullets hit the same joint position, breaking the Four-winged Eagle's claws directly into two pieces .
After losing the clamp, Lorgar rolled up and kicked the beast's belly, and kicked it out . The latter flapped its wings and rose again . Only now did the First Army squad ring out the gunshots for the very first time . Unfortunately, it was not so easy to hit a flying target that could circle or swing up and down and was behaving more like an erratic insect than a bird .
"Are you ok?" Ashes took off her black robe and covered the diminishing body of the huge wolf .
"Temporarily . . . Ahem, I won't die yet . . . " Lorgar that had regained her human form, coughed out a mouthful of blood foam, and struggled to climb up but failed several times .
"Don't move around or else you will aggravate your wounds . " Ashes groped along her body and discovered that one side of the chest was sunken down and she could feel the bumps of the raised bones . It was clear that several ribs were broken in the previous violent impact . It was fortunate that the wolf form could resist the impact of the heavy attacks . If she had retained her human form, that attack would have probably taken her life .
Wildflame clan warriors also surrounded the area with their short bows and aimed toward the demonic beast in the sky . But even firearms could not be effective at this distance, therefore arrows were even more useless .
"Watch out! It's coming again!" Echo warned everyone again .
"Everyone get out of the way!"
Ashes hugged Lorgar and rolled on the spot to avoid the grazing attack of the demonic beast . Several clan warriors were unable to avoid it and were thrown out with their chests heavily deflated, so they were unlikely to survive .
The Four-winged Eagle obviously had a high level of intelligence . It seemed to realize that the only thing that could threaten it was the rifle held by Andrea . When it was diving and attacking Lorgar, it would always use its abdomen's shell to face the blonde witch . It also followed a rocking motion and a polyline flight path . When Andrea was refilling, the demonic beast would throw the people it captured toward Hummingbird and Echo to obstruct her filling action and also rotate the direction of attack .
Andrea avoided the danger several times by a thin thread . In addition to paying attention to the movements of the demonic beast, she also had to take care of the other two partners . If she had not mastered the new evolutionary skills that enabled her to release a strong air stream at close range, she would have been thrown down ages ago by the demonic beast .
Ashes could not help frowning as this Four-winged Eagle seemed like it was targeting the witches .
If it simply wanted to prey on food, the platform was full of people, and no one would have stopped it from taking away one or two people . But it dived repeatedly to attack Lorgar or would stare at Andrea and the other witches . It showed no interest in the ordinary people and was vastly different from the rumored brutal and bloodthirsty assailant .
The First Army had only 50 soldiers that entered the Land of Fire and were no help in dealing with a flexible target in the air . Ashes thought it was necessary to lead it to the top of the large army and hopefully, it could be shot down with more intense gunfire .
But . . . what exactly needed to be done?
At this moment, Lorgar grabbed her hand .
"Throw me upwards . " Wolf Girl gasped and spoke one word at a time .
"What?"
"Ahem . . . Throw me up!" She repeated . "When it's coming toward us, that's the only . . . the only chance I can catch it . I can't act on my own, I can only depend on you!"
"If you don't succeed, you may die here," said Ashes .
"A warrior's second home has always been the battlefield," said Lorgar, with her ears drooping down . "So at least I've resisted until the very end . You are the most powerful warrior I've ever met . . . Ahem . . . You've given me the chance to experience such a wonderful fight . Thank you . "
Ashes saw a firm resolve from her expression and nodded after a moment of silence, "I see . But you're mistaken, it's not our last fight . "
"Even if I . . . manage to stay alive, it will be impossible for me to stand like a normal person . You don't need to comfort me . " She laughed at herself .
Even if she could recover from such heavy wounds, she would still be disabled . Perhaps death would be a better option for her .
"There's a witch called Nana in Neverwinter of Graycastle, who can heal any man back to brand new . Even someone who's breathing his last or whose limbs are entirely broken," said Ashes, slightly widening her mouth .
The wolf's ears became erect in the blink of an eye .
"What you just said . . . is that true?"
"Of course, I have gone through no less than a hundred battles like this one, and there were even more powerful enemies . And if you want to hone your skills, you can find opportunities at any time . So if you live . . . " Ashes stopped here without finishing what she wanted to say, as she realized that the other party's remaining eye now reflected a brand new light .
"I'll survive, for sure . "
"Well, come up then . "
Ashes no longer hesitated and grabbed Lorgar's foot with one hand . She took advantage of Four-winged Eagle diving toward the center of the platform, to fling herself around for two turns before throwing Lorgar out—
Princess Lorgar of the Wildflame clan was like a flying arrow with her black robes, aiming at the monster that was flying straight down .
