Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 43 Why are medicines bitter?
An invisible spiritual fluctuation suddenly came. The mental fluctuations came very suddenly, and the center of the fluctuations seemed to be ...... Dementors?
Fang Qiuling was a little unsure. However, the paladins closest to the Dementors slowed down in unison, and then quickly returned to normal. This made him confirm his judgment.
This mental fluctuation is not aggressive, but it clearly conveys emotion. There's pain, there's anger, there's fear, there's fear. If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the "language" of the Dementors.
Imaginary beings are not so much living beings as spiritual positions made up of energy masses. The spiritual stance has no physical body and cannot produce sound waves through the vibrations of the air. Therefore, the language of the imaginary creature acts directly on the spiritual realm and is transmitted through the mind.
Another paladin attacked. He fought in the same way as Madame Moghley, and went on the offensive with the same cyan wind.
After suffering a loss, the Dementor already understood that the weapon emitting cyan light in the hand of this "iron can" was quite painful to fight the monster, and it was a great threat to it. One claw was constantly suppressing the cyan ball of light, and the other huge claw that was idle immediately grabbed at the cyan wind.
Imaginary creatures have no weight. Although the action can't be compared to the Notos Paladin in speed, it's not much different either. Moreover, the claws are huge, and the slightest movement can limit the trajectory of the cyan wind. Sharp and elective slashes all fell on the claws of the hand.
The two giant claws are the hardest and strongest part of the Dementor's body. Lady Moghley's slashes tore through its body, but the slashes that landed on its claws had little effect. The second paladin was slightly inferior to Ms. Mogre, and her speed control was not completely free. He changed direction several times, but he was never able to break through the claw's defenses, so he had to turn sideways and temporarily leave the battle.
As the paladin stepped back, another paladin who was poised to move on the side immediately made a move. The cyan wind wrapped around the Dementor once more, slashing down one after another. When the wind subsided, Lady Moghley struck again.
Watching the attacks of the two colleagues, Ms. Mogre was more purposeful in the landing of her slashes on the second shot. Her blue flame landed straight on the claw that was grabbing the ball of light. On the one hand, he hopes to rescue his colleagues who were captured through continuous attacks, and on the other hand, he also hopes to cut off this claw directly.
Her intentions were immediately understood by the two colleagues. The three of them then launched a series of attacks like a wheel battle.
One paladin attacked, and two paladins swept the formation. The cooperation of the three paladins was not tacit, but they took advantage of the speed and suppressed the Dementors for a while. If you can't break the defense, you can run, if you can't fight, you run, and if the battle situation is unfavorable, you run. This "shameless" tactic of the Notos Paladin is actually quite a scoundrel.
Invisible mental fluctuations continued to come, and the emotions of fear and fear increased, and the body of the dementor began to tremble violently, and the healing speed after the wound also slowed down significantly.
Ms. Mogre, who had just retreated from the formation, was keenly aware of this situation, so she did not hesitate to strike again immediately.
The attacking paladin slashed several times at the top of his claw, then dodged to avoid the attack of the other claw. At this time, the cyan light lit up from the back of the body, and a colleague made a move. Although I don't know why my colleagues are so anxious to make another move, it is also incumbent on me to create opportunities for my colleagues. The paladins present are all veterans and experienced in combat, so they must have caught the fighter!
I saw him shout, and the figure that was originally flickering and moving went straight to the claws that came from the wave. An even larger burst of green flames erupted from the cross sword, firmly holding the claws against it.
The Mogre girl's cross sword also erupted with a grand blue flame, and the sword light also skyrocketed.
A slash from the bottom right to the top left, followed by a drop from the top right to the bottom left. Two slashes tore a "X" at the end of the upper arm of the Dementor's claw.
Violent mental fluctuations swept the entire battlefield in an instant. Even in the camp that was far away, Fang Qiuling felt a head-on stinging pain.
The dementor's claws snapped, snapped from the "X" slash marks, and slipped silently before turning into bursts of black mist and beginning to dissipate. The cyan ball of light that had been clutching in his claws also fell.
The paladin who resisted the claws suddenly felt that the pressure had dropped sharply, and the cross sword violently opened its claws, and instantly escaped more than ten meters. Lady Moghley also fled, and she didn't forget to grab the falling orb of light as she did.
The captured paladin was in a very bad situation. The color of the cyan ball of light is no longer vivid, giving people an old sense of fading, and the figure in the ball of light that has been struggling for a long time has not moved. The most powerful thing about the Dementor is its two claws, which have a strong ability to ingest, and as long as they are caught, they will cause trauma in the spiritual realm, and they will hurt the soul for a long time.
Lady Mogre rode her mount and ran in the direction of the camp as soon as possible. The camp was a stone's throw from the center of the battle, a little more than two hundred meters. A slight acceleration is there. The cyan orb of light faded away from the dementor's claws, revealing the paladin protected by the orb of light. The paladin had also regained his human form, but remained motionless and seemed to be in a coma.
Ms. Moghley placed her colleagues in the camp and lowered them from a cloth bag around her waist.
"Mr. Norne!"
"I know!"
The simple words of the two seemed to be clueless, but they both knew what the other meant.
- Help!
- Good!
Lady Moghley then turned and returned to the battlefield.
The cloth bag was filled with holy water, not the No. 8 holy water that Fang Qiuling used as a grenade, but holy water that was enough to be used as an intermediate healing potion.
Although both healing potions and holy water can be effective in treating the injured, there is a difference between the two. Healing agents have a relatively good therapeutic effect on internal and external bleeding, wound recovery, and other direct physical wounds. Holy water can treat physical wounds, and has a significant effect on the repair and treatment of the spiritual field.
The ingestion of Dementors is more on a spiritual level. Break through the spiritual defenses first, then ingest the soul as its food. Its seemingly aggressive behavior, which is actually "eating", bears a great resemblance to another notorious race, the Soul Suckers. Soul suckers are not imaginary creatures, and the absorption of "spirits" needs to devour the brains of intelligent creatures. Dementors are imaginary creatures that do not need to consume the substance of an entity as a medium, and can directly ingest souls.
Fang Qiuling and Shino hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and moved the unconscious paladin to the camp.
Dementors are extraterrestrial demons, and their individual strength is uneven, so it is difficult to have a comprehensive judgment. Moreover, the attributes of the virtual creature are single, if there is a weapon to restrain it, and do a good job of targeted protection, the strength of the primary level of black iron is enough to complete the kill. But if there is no preparation, it is not strange that a gold-rank powerhouse capsized in the gutter.
The Dementor in front of him is not very strong, and the means of dealing with it since the battle has been opened, it should be a "hand-to-hand" type of Dementor, which is a relatively easy type to deal with. It has a single means of attack, and most of its strength is concentrated on its two claws. These two claws are natural magic weapons, and the most notable feature is the transformation of virtual and real, which cannot be blocked or parried with ordinary weapons, and the "kitchen knife" class will suffer if it is not careful.
It was obviously a shield to block, but not only was the block ineffective, but it was also hit with a critical hit - there are countless similar posts on the player forums.
Paladins have no such concerns, and even without using the powers bestowed by the gods, the Paladins have the highest magic resistance of any class, and it is not a big problem to resist a few attacks. The Paladin profession can essentially be regarded as a melee trait-enhanced priest, and there are really not many offensive magic skills, but there are many magic skills such as exorcism, defense, and healing, which are aimed at all kinds of undead, demons, devils, or hybrids. There's no class better suited to fighting Dementors than Paladin.
Even if the Dementors in front of them have a single attack method and have been crushed to death by the paladins, the strength of this battle has reached the silver level. Although Fang Qiuling, who was swaying with half a bucket of water, looked hot, if he was asked to go up and "rub some proficiency", he would definitely shake his head like a rattle. And he also strictly ordered everyone in the camp to be vigilant and not to leave the camp without permission.
Dementors are Dementors after all, in case any of the non-long-eyed guys come up and are caught by the Dementors and "smack" adults...... It doesn't matter if this guy wants to die himself, but if you let the Dementor absorb the soul and then "return some blood", then the sin is great! This is also a big reason why the Dementors that are entrenched in the town are so difficult to clear. There are many inhabitants in the town, and in the eyes of the Dementors, they are "red bottles" that can move around. If you can't beat "drink red", this is not a basic operation!
So at this stage, it is safer to stay in the camp and be an "audience" that does not interfere with the actors' performances. By the way, we will also deal with the wounded and do a good job of logistics.
The unconscious paladin is heavy. Counting all the equipment such as helmets, cuirasses, etc., the heavily armed paladin is estimated to be more than two hundred catties.
Taking off his helmet, Fang Qiuling lifted the paladin's head and poured a bottle of No. 5 holy water into his mouth little by little. Although unconscious, the paladin's teeth were not very tight, and he poured holy water into his mouth, and he naturally began to swallow. This saved Fang Qiuling a lot of effort.
Compared with healing elixirs, holy water also has a characteristic, that is, it has a fast effect and a strong effect. The healing effect of holy water is quick and "rough", and the treatment can be completed in just a few seconds, which can lead to intense itching. Especially the rebuilding and replantation of amputated limbs, the itching can make people scratch the skin directly, and they must be tied up.
A bottle of holy water was poured down, and the pale's pale face quickly became a little more bloody. However, it is not enough to rely on the No. 5 holy water, which does have a healing effect on mental wounds, but in fact it is still an emergency treatment measure, and it is not symptomatic. If possible, it is better to find a senior healer in the temple, but the problem is that it is impossible to have a senior healer at the moment......
Fang Qiuling's brows jumped fiercely, and with a slight hesitation, he took out four bottles of potions from the storage bag - secondary physique elixir, secondary intelligence elixir, secondary will elixir, and secondary perception elixir.
- It's not that I can't bear these bottles of potion, but I don't know if it's right or wrong.
Fang Qiuling is not a healer, he has no clue about treating trauma in the spiritual field. However, as an advent from this world, there is still basic common sense in medical care. So he thought of a very simple stupid way, which was to directly improve the paladin's own physical fitness.
Viruses that can cause babies to have a fever and catch a cold and shed salt water for days on end may be over with a sneeze and a cup of hot water in adults. Adults' immune systems and physical strength are much better than those of infants, and they can carry it without taking medicine. Physique determines the strength and immunity of the body, and although the physique medicine is not the right medicine, it can play a certain role in alleviating the symptoms.
The spiritual realm cannot be seen or touched, but it also needs to rely on the physical body. The three basic attributes of the physical body, intelligence, will, and perception determine the strength of the spiritual realm, so improving these three attributes in a targeted manner is equivalent to increasing the strength of the spiritual realm. The strength of the spiritual realm has increased, and the trauma caused by the dementors in the spiritual realm has become easier to heal.
As for the constitution potion, this thing is used to save lives. If your constitution increases, your maximum health increases, and your maximum health increases, so you can resist a few more times when you receive damage. Fang Qiuling had used it when he first studied the Enlightenment Scroll, but nothing happened that time, it was equivalent to wasting a piece of physique elixir.
- It's better not to be out of condition, I'd rather drink it and waste it!
Are there any side effects of flasks that increase basic attributes?
The game manifests as potion resistance, which lasts for half an hour with a debuff. Retaking the flask during the debuff will not work as long as the flask should be. Other side effects...... Some drugs appear to have symptoms of addiction.
- No matter! Save people first!
When a person dies, there is nothing left. It doesn't matter if it's addiction or drug resistance!
Thinking of this, Fang Qiuling didn't hesitate, held up the paladin's head again, and began to fill the medicine bottle by bottle.
The holy water has a slightly bitter taste, and it is just like drinking it with a frown, a bit like bitter beer, but without the aroma of bitter beer, it has an indescribable subtle taste. These bottles of potions that increase basic attributes...... There are all kinds of flavors, and they are all strange, each one is stranger than the other!
- Don't ask Fang Qiuling how he knows!
The first potion was poured down, and the paladin's face was slightly distorted. The second potion was poured down, and the paladin's eyes and eyebrows jumped together. After the third bottle was poured, a knee-jerk reaction to refuse to swallow was evident even in the coma. The fourth bottle is poured into ...... Wake up! The paladin came to his senses directly!
And at this moment, a sharp wail suddenly sounded.
As if a stick had slammed into his head, Fang Qiuling stumbled and fell directly to the ground. The last bit of potion in the potion bottle in his hand was directly spilled, splashing the paladin's head and face.
