Artoria's sacrifice is also a contribution to the team in a sense.

Because in fact, before this, Gao He didn't think that these gushing venom would cause fatal damage to the team - although 4,000 points of damage seemed terrifying, for the team that was now rapidly improving their equipment, this kind of damage was obviously not enough to be fatal.

However, when these gushing venoms were combined with Hilgei's melee sickness and long-range mana burn, respectively, the threat posed was greatly enhanced, and this time, Artoria used her life to sound a big alarm bell for Gao He.

These gushing venoms can actually cause secondary damage!

That's right, Artoria was accidentally swept away by the venom that gushed out, and then licked a little by the venom that poured back into the rift before she could dodge.

It's just two consecutive injuries that easily take away all her health, and it's so fast that even Long Aojiao, who claims to be able to complete a treatment in 1 second, can't react.

"The wind of the southeast, the battle is restored!"

Gao He gritted his teeth, and finally gave such an order - if there was abnormal attrition at the beginning of the battle, it would mean that he would lose a whole person's DPS next, which he didn't want to see anyway.

Filthy Hilgai doesn't have a lot of health, only a measly three million, but due to the constant release of illness in melee combat, the burning of mana that burns long-range mana, and the occasional eruption. Venom, who blocked everyone's sight and attack, the battle seemed to be difficult from the start.

"It was just an accident!"

Artoria, who had recovered from the battle and repainted with a buff, looked like her cheeks were flushed with an unnatural flush.

"I ...... I'm just careless! How did that gushing of venom reach me...... I ......"

As if sensing Gao He's meaningful gaze, Artoria's voice was a little impatient.

"What I said before is still valid! As long as I die again in this battle, I will ...... Yes! ”

Battle Tip: Artoria has been killed.

Probably in her eagerness to prove herself, Artoria ignored the effects of her illness, and as a result, she was once again affected by the sudden eruption of venom from a nearby rift after being reduced by 50% of her health. Transformed into a fresh corpse again.

"Artoria. DKP deducts 10 points. ”

At this time, the ghost crab suddenly appeared and fell into the well.

Yu really couldn't understand it...... With Artoria's ability, she would make such mistakes over and over again. ”

On the other side, the red paladin Nilou put her hand to her forehead and let out a helpless sigh.

"Hmph...... Stupidity. ”

The Dark Knight King didn't seem to understand this either, and just made a cold judgment.

"Ahh I know! Sister Artoria is already looking at me too hard......"

"Lily! Give me serious blood! ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Captain! ”

The grinning paladin Lily looked very happy. I don't know if I usually see that my companions can fight with swords and I can only use them as backups. Now I have unexpectedly gained mental balance.

Soon, Artoria was once again reinstated, and two consecutive deaths made her look very embarrassed. The next steps are also extra cautious.

However, perhaps because she was too careful to avoid Venom and neglected the output, she fell to the bottom of the team's output rankings.

Artoria ...... It's okay, right? ”

Seeing that she was usually able to maintain a midstream output in the team, but now she became inactive, Gao He had to remind her again.

"Let it go...... Feel relieved! I'm not the type of person who can affect the overall situation because of a small mistake......"

Just as she was trying to prove herself again, Naga's side suddenly sent an urgent prompt.

"Attention, the boss has movements."

"Huh?"

Gao He hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, Hilgai, who had been chanting spells to attack the main tank Xiaohe before this, suddenly let out a cruel laugh at this time, and then turned around despite the attacks of the girls around him, and came to an altar at the edge of the hall.

"Death...... and it will soon come upon you......

With Hilgai's hideous laughter, the entire hall began to shake slightly.

At the same time, around Hilgai's body, a poisonous plague vapor began to fill, and the terrifying damage quickly forced all melee classes back into the middle of the hall, in the open space full of rifts.

"Attention everyone! Watch your step! ”

Gao He thought of a possibility almost immediately, and reminded all the girls loudly.

"The venom eruption of the rift could be violent next!"

"Oooh!"

The girls carefully searched for the wide-looking, crackless tiles as they responded, gathering in groups of five to avoid being swept away by the venom that might erupt.

"Artoria! What are you doing! ”

"I ...... I'm trying to move! ”

The Paladin Maiden, who had died under the venom eruption twice in succession, looked obviously panicked at this time, because she tried to find an open space to accommodate herself several times in a row, but at the most critical moment, she seemed to be lost and wandered back to the edge of the dangerous rift.

But soon, Gao He had already come to her side and grabbed her helpless palm without saying a word.

"Come with me!"

"Huh?"

Without waiting for Artoria to make any statement, Takawa had already taken her by the body and guided her to an open and firm floor tile.

"It should be safe here...... But keep an eye on your step! ”

Before Gao He's words fell, the rifts around him suddenly erupted with miserable green venom, and in an instant, the bodies of Gao He and Artoria were almost surrounded by these terrifying venoms.

"Come closer!"

"Huh?! Wait......"

Seeing that Artoria was almost contaminated with the splattered venom, Gao He could only pull hard again, forcibly pulling this girl who was not in good condition to the edge of her body at once.

Maybe it's because it's too hard, or maybe it's because of ...... Artoria's figure is too slim...... Ahem, well, to put it more bluntly, the chest failed to become a good buffer between the two, and the female paladin, who lost her balance because of Gao He's sudden force, stumbled and fell into Gao He's arms at the same time, and subconsciously raised her head, and the result was ......

"Goo!"

The lips of the two people just happened to be intertwined...... (To be continued......)
