As he pointed at the doors of the last two flesh chambers in succession, they retracted swiftly like the valves of a heart artery.
At this mont, heavy footsteps started echoing from these two rooms!
Hearing these drum-like heavy footsteps, several seasoned combat veterans, such as Benest and Colonel Tessa who was lying on the ground, turned extrely pale.
Because they had already vaguely guessed what kind of monsters might appear.
Indeed.
The next instant, two behemoths that nearly filled the entire corridor erged at once.
"Abominations!"
"It’s actually abominations."
The knight captain Weston, who was lying on the ground and had just rekindled hopes of survival, turned pale and exclaid.
Abominations are giant undead stitched together from nurous corpse fragnts, usually crafted by necromancers, standing about three ters tall with bloated and clumsy bodies that resemble sumo wrestlers made of rotten at, covered with uneven stitch marks.
The two abominations before them almost had the sa face, with disproportionately small and deford heads compared to their bodies, crooked mouths revealing a thick tongue, and full of crooked yellow teeth.
And besides the fat decaying flesh, their most attention-grabbing features were the varying arms protruding from their shoulders and chests.
Raine could clearly see that two of the massive arms belonged to High-tier Boarman Warriors, and the remaining four or five arms were from human adventurers.
Each arm wielded a weapon, such as a huge blade, scythe, sharp long spear, and even a chain with tal hooks at the end.
Even from a distance of over twenty ters, he could already sll their putrid odor mixed with a faint plague scent.
However, to Raine’s surprise, the first action of these two abominations upon erging was not to attack, but to sweep their cloudy dead eyes around.
Seeing the humans not far from their feet, their eyes lit up, and they imdiately used the iron hooks to pick up the knight captain Weston and Clan Priest Olist from the ground.
Then, several arms secured them and brutally dismbered them, chomping down hungrily.
"Ah!!!"
Accompanied by the final screams of Weston and Olist, and the heavy scent of blood along with the airborne organs and gore, everyone present instantly understood the ferocity!
What abominations truly are!
Facing such fierce advanced undead creatures, Raine’s expression also turned serious.
Being undead monsters most skilled at close combat, abominations completely rely on lee rather than the spell abilities of liches.
And the bigger issue was, there were not just one but two of them.
It was at this mont as well.
The incubation pod behind Elise and the others suddenly clicked and opened automatically.
A pale-faced and sowhat frail Baron Olsen, weakened by a month of bedridden rest, slowly rose.
Seeing this scene, both Elise and Reya exclaid in delight, with Reya rushing forward to support her father.
"Father, how are you feeling?"
Baron Olsen, holding his still dizzy head, shook it and said, "It feels like a nightmare, abandoned, where is this place...."
Raine naturally also heard Baron Olsen’s voice not far behind, bringing a sense of relief to his heart. This ti, their main purpose in coming to the Valley of Dead Water was successfully achieved.
However, his gaze fell on the two towering abominations he’d never confronted before, and Raine frowned slightly.
Even though he remained confident in his abilities, with Monster Skills at his side, retreat would not be an issue even if he couldn’t win in a fight.
But he was concerned that one abomination might entangle him while the other directly attacked his teammates behind him and the newly awakened Baron Olsen.
In an anti-magic field, Benest, Elise, and the others, unable to cast magic, would stand almost no chance against such monsters as abominations.
With a quick thought, Raine imdiately shouted, "Quickly leave the field’s range and teleport out, leave this to !"
"Mr. Rein..." Elise and Ryu Teng wanted to say sothing, but Raine, turning his back to everyone, gestured dismissively.
"Go quickly, we’d only be burdens if we stayed." Benest glanced at Raine’s back, shook his head with a bitter smile, and told everyone.
On one hand, they really couldn’t offer much assistance by staying.
On the other hand, it was because of Baron Olsen.
No matter if it was to fully expose the Talin Association’s conspiracy in Dorne City subsequently, or as the sole surviving noble of the Soladin Kingdom in Dorne City, Baron Olsen’s importance was significant.
Otherwise, Harper wouldn’t have let Master Lunflier be involved as well.
Upon hearing Benest’s words, everyone fell silent for a mont.
Although they didn’t want to admit it, as a level seven class, what Benest said was indeed true.
Unknowingly, Raine’s strength had far surpassed theirs, not only in spell ability but also in close combat ability, reaching a level that they simply couldn’t match.
"Elise, help support father. I’ll stay! I brought an Any Door Scroll." Reya quickly said, "You all retreat first. I’ll be with Raine."
"Reya, you..."
"Don’t worry, I’m a ranger, I don’t need to engage in lee with the abomination!"
"Let Reya go." At this mont, Baron Olsen looked at his daughter with gratification and said.
"Father, you understand !"
....
On the other side.
Magiller’s gaze was fixed on Raine, angrily shouting at the abomination beside him, "Stop eating! Get to work!"
Magiller didn’t want to unleash the two abominations earlier, but he had just recently modified them and hadn’t perfected them yet, leading to their unmanageable behavior.
Upon hearing their master’s angry shout, the two abominations reluctantly put down the remains in their hands. One raised its head, locked eyes on Raine, and began charging with heavy footsteps.
The other abomination headed straight towards Benest and Baron Olsen’s group of six, who were trying to retreat.
"Swish!"
Raine imdiately launched a Wild Charge, galloping like a high-speed running bison towards the abomination charging at the retreating teammates.
He leapt high, swinging his Obsidian Shield, and smashed it down hard on the abomination’s head. A loud bang followed, causing the nearly one-ton giant undead creature to sway backwards in a stagger.
But at that very mont.
Before landing in mid-air, Raine suddenly felt sothing around his waist. A thick chain had wrapped around him, originating from the other abomination that had originally charged at him from not too far away.
In the next second!
Raine felt a mighty force from the chain at his waist. Unable to leverage in mid-air, he was dragged rapidly back, flying towards the direction of the first abomination.
"Raine!"
The retreating won exclaid upon seeing this scene!
Reya quickly shot several arrows at the abomination’s head, attempting to disrupt it.
But Raine remained unfazed. He rotated his body mid-air, lifting his Epic Level Warhamr high, and after using his Shield to continuously block the massive cleaver and scythe from the abomination, he began counterattacking.
"Armor-Piercing Strike!"
As the Epic Level Warhamr Counterattacker slamd down heavily, with a ’thud’, most of the hamr sank into the abomination’s decayed flesh, imdiately creating a crater the size of a basin in its chest.
anwhile, yellow pus and foul blood splattered everywhere.
Raine could distinctly sense a strong polluting aura emanating from the abomination.
Fortunately, he had the Monster Skill ’Wild Boar Chief Physique’, granting him moderate resistance against toxin attacks. A bit of contamination was naturally no big deal.
If the injury he inflicted on the abomination were on any living creature, even on those similarly large and strong mutated Wild Boar People, it would inflict severe trauma instantly.
But for the abomination, a high-tier undead creature, it wasn’t a fatal injury.
However, Raine didn’t intend to kill the abomination in one blow. He took advantage of the abomination’s retreat, smashed the chain around him, and swiftly extricated himself, rushing towards the second abomination again.
He needed to break or hold them down, creating conditions for everyone’s escape.
’Big guy.’
’Strong defense.’
’How to break through?’
Many thoughts flashed through Raine’s mind in an instant.
If he weren’t within the Anti-Magic Field at this mont, he would have many spells available to deal with the abomination.
But now, he only had his physical strength and combat skills.
So..... what Monster Skill to use?
