Elden Ring, building a legion of ashes

Chapter 33: Surrounded

Fresh blood gushed down the demi-human queen's body.

It shook its body violently, like a wounded mad dog.

The ridiculous crown on its head finally fell to the ground.

A head of messy, frizzy hair hung down, obscuring his crazed eyes.

Xia Tong casually dealt with the two demi-humans beside him, his eyes fixed on the other.

At this moment, the demi-human queen's eyes had turned blood red.

Because so many of its people had died or been injured, it went into a state of complete rage.

Suddenly, it retracted its limbs extremely backward and pushed off the ground with a mighty leap!

With his long arms outstretched, he was about to give Xia Tong a tight hug!

The Queen's embrace!

Xia Tong dared not take this attack head-on.

He quickly rolled to dodge, using the broken wall beside him as cover, and jumped up.

If you get grabbed and held tight, you'll be pinned to the ground and bitten mercilessly; you'll be badly injured, if not killed.

"Snapped!"

Unable to catch Xia Tong, the demi-human queen angrily slapped herself.

He directly pinned down a small, fanged demon that was hanging on it.

Then they forcibly pulled it down.

Unfortunately, the claws and forked axe of the fanged imp were already deeply embedded in its flesh.

This violent tearing motion actually ripped off a piece of skin and flesh from his body!

Blood was everywhere.

The demi-human queen's large hand slowly tightened.

"Crack, crack."

The stone body of the fanged imp, unable to bear the weight, emitted a sickening cracking sound.

"Hooray!"

The little devil screamed and tried to struggle, but it was no use; the difference in size was too great.

This is a good opportunity.

Xia Tong leaped high off the broken wall, gripped the King's Army Greatsword with both hands, and slashed down fiercely!

Unexpectedly, the demi-human queen leaned back in a strange way.

With a powerful push from its hind legs, its massive body stood up.

Then, she swung the heavy demi-human queen's staff and smashed it down towards Xia Tong in mid-air!

With a loud "bang!"

Xia Tong felt as if she had been hit head-on by a speeding dump truck.

He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the broken wall.

"Splash!"

Half of the wall was smashed down.

The surrounding demi-humans immediately swarmed forward, like ants trying to devour Xia Tong.

The impact left Xia Tong somewhat dazed, her internal organs trembling.

He struggled to open his eyes.

Just then, I saw the fanged little devil being crushed by the demi-human queen, turning into ashes and disintegrating!

Fortunately, another fanged imp, seeing the situation was not good, jumped off the queen and rushed to Xia Tong's side to protect her.

The Grek soldier, wielding a large shield, had multiple wounds and damaged armor, but he still immediately stood in front of Xia Tong.

The soul jellyfish Kurala was still far away because it moved slowly.

Her tentacles lashed out like whips at the surging demi-human group.

But there were simply too many enemies.

Multiple wounds have appeared on her translucent, umbrella-shaped body, and her tentacles are also somewhat damaged.

After a moment of preparation, Kurala spat out another mouthful of acid, causing the surrounding demi-humans to pause in their tracks.

This bought Xia Tong some time.

Then Kurala struggled to float towards Xia Tong.

Xia Tong quickly got up, coughed a few times, and found that the corners of her mouth were full of blood and foam.

He quickly picked up the Red Dewdrop Chalice bottle and, under the cover of the Grik soldiers, took a big gulp.

As the dew dripped into her mouth, Xia Tong's aches and pains quickly subsided, and her energy and strength were instantly restored.

The flames on the King's Army Greatsword in his hand had been extinguished.

Xia Tong then pulled out a handful of grease from her bosom and smeared it on the grease with great force.

With a "rip" sound!

The grease was ignited.

In the dim forest, the firelight illuminated Xia Tong's blood-stained and ashen face, his eyes resolute.

"Torette!!!"

Xia Tong shouted loudly.

Suddenly, a series of shrill sounds came from afar.

That was the neighing of a spirit horse!

"Da da da da da!"

The sound of horses' hooves pounding the ground was like a rapid drumbeat.

The thin mist in front of us seemed to be blown away by a strong wind.

A lithe black figure appeared before them in an instant.

The horse was empty; Elena was not there. She must have been safely hidden away.

Xia Tong lightly placed her left hand on the saddle, using the momentum to leap onto the horse.

Holding a flaming greatsword in his right hand, he rode Toret and charged towards the demi-human queen.

The demi-human queen was in a state of extreme rage, her eyes bloodshot.

Its attack frequency is faster and more frantic than it was initially.

The radiance stone at the tip of the staff slowly lit up.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several jets of dark blue radiant stone fragments flew out and shot densely towards Xia Tong.

Xia Tong wielded the King's Army Greatsword with one hand, holding it in front of him.

The flames scorched the air, and the hot winds billowed, deflecting some of the magic.

When Torret was still five meters away from the Queen of the Demi-humans, he suddenly jumped up!

Then, he took a double jump in mid-air, riding the wind!

The man and his horse arrived instantly above the head of the demi-human queen.

Xia Tong gripped the saddle tightly with one hand, raised her greatsword high with the other, and swung it down fiercely!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

On the ground, Grek soldiers wielding crossbows fired three arrows in quick succession to distract the demi-human queen from her vision.

The soul jellyfish Kurala also sprayed a mouthful of purplish-red acid towards the face of the demi-human queen!

The last remaining fanged imp hid behind the Grik soldier wielding a large shield.

They frantically threw magic pots at the demi-human queen!

"Sizzle—!"

At this moment, the demi-human queen had no free hands to defend herself.

Xia Tong's sword struck her heavily in the waist and abdomen!

The flames instantly scorched its ashen skin black.

Xia Tong's sword strike was powerful and heavy, directly cutting the man's skin open and even revealing his white ribs, sparks flying everywhere!

Having landed a successful blow, Torret quickly retreated and moved away.

Xia Tong then seized the opportunity and casually cut down several ordinary demi-humans who surrounded him.

The demi-human queen angrily unleashed the scattering crystals once more.

"Splash!"

Suddenly, another group of unlucky ordinary demi-humans fell ill.

"This is?"

Xia Tong suddenly noticed a tall figure behind her.

Another large demi-human!

This large demi-human was wielding a rusty, large cleaver, quite different from the previous one that had a spiked club.

It howled, brandishing its large machete, and relentlessly pursued Xia Tong.

Looking at this guy, Xia Tong had an idea.

He suddenly turned his horse around and charged towards the demi-human queen again.

At this moment, the demi-human queen had become mentally deranged due to the excruciating pain, the fear of fire, and the deaths and injuries of her people!

Seeing Xia Tong rushing towards it, it had no idea what was going on.

Immediately open your arms and bend and straighten your back leg.

I want to give Xia Tong a big "queen hug" again!

Good timing!

Ten meters... five meters... two meters...

"Okay, now's the time, jump!"

At the same time, the demi-human queen also launched herself towards Xia Tong.

However, at this very moment.

Xia Tong has once again taken to the air thanks to Toret's amazing jumping ability!

The powerful embrace of the demi-human queen firmly held the large demi-human that was closely following Xia Tong!

The large, knife-wielding demi-human was stunned when it saw the Queen herself rushing towards it.

Before it could even react, it felt a terrifying force enveloping it!

"Snap! Snap!"

Amidst the excruciating pain, it felt the demi-human queen holding it tighter and tighter.

The bones in my body were groaning and cracking.

It howled in fear, uttering a cry of pleading unique to demi-humans!

Just when the demi-human queen thought she had succeeded.

Xia Tong, still in mid-air, unleashed another downward slash!

This time, they cut off its hind limbs that it used to support its body!

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the pungent smell of flames burning the skin.

Xia Tong's sword strike slashed the Queen of the Demi-humans' hind leg so deeply that the bone was visible!
