Chapter 196 That statue will definitely sink.
?The statue of Lathel suddenly raised its hand, and a magic circle appeared in front of it.
"What?! He\'s using magic without chanting." Harris mumbled in surprise: "So... up until now, that statue hasn\'t used its full power?"
He started to feel scared. However, he still hoped that Alec\'s special skill would destroy the statue.
GRAO!!!
From the magic circle, a deafening roar rang out, and a giant, fiery snake rushed out from the magic circle and headed towards Alec\'s black fire rose.
Alec was also startled when he saw the statue using magic without chanting: "Damn it! I also don\'t believe that my Black Rose Flame can lose to the fire of a statue."
"AAA!!!" He roared angrily.
When the fire snake and the black rose were only less than two metres apart, the fire snake suddenly changed its direction of flight.
It leaned to one side, then wrapped its tail around the black fire rose.
There weren\'t any explosions like Alec and Harris thought. That snake carried the black rose and flew straight into the sky.
After reaching a sufficient height, it tightened its grip on the black rose. Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion rang out, accompanied by a terrifying shock wave that spread out to a range of hundreds of metres around.
A cloud of black dust appeared in the sky, which slowly fell to the ground.
Alec and Harris saw this scene, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Damn it! He…" Alec was about to say something when Medos spoke.
"You should feel lucky that the fiery snake from earlier didn\'t bring the black rose to you."
"What do you mean…" Alec asked in confusion.
"It seems that the statue wanted to protect this village, so it controlled the fire snake to fly high with the black rose. That way, the explosion won\'t affect the village."
"Damn it! What does that matter… Ack!" Before Alec could finish his words, his broken arm was in excruciating pain.
Harris saw that Alec was in pain due to his broken left arm. He then took out a pill emitting a weak yellow aura and threw it at Alec.
"Take it; it\'s a \'Reborn Bone Pill\', although the quality is the lowest, it will at least help your left arm recover."
As soon as Harris finished speaking, he took out another purple scroll: "You should recover from your wound first, I will stop him for a while, then we will run away together."
"You…"
Before Alec could answer, Harris swung the purple scroll, and then a purple light surrounded his body.
At this moment, Harris was similar to the statue of Lathel, a stream of purple energy enveloped his entire body, making him seem like he had become a burning torch.
BAM!
Harris stomped his foot to gain momentum, which caused the ground under his feet to sink and crumble as he rushed towards the statue of Lathel.
Alec held the pill in his hand; he didn\'t think that, in this dangerous moment, Harris would give him this pill.
"Stop thinking too much; take the pill; that pill is the \'Reborn Bone Pill\', although the level is extremely low, it is still enough for your left arm to recover."
Alec gritted his teeth and decided to swallow the pill. Immediately after that, his left arm began to recover, and the bones also began to reconnect.
In the distance, Harris was trying to hold off the statue of Lathel. The thought of defeating this statue became completely impossible.
Harris continuously swung his sword, however, this statue continuously used its arm to block the blade.
Of course, even though he had increased his energy, he still could not penetrate the outer energy layer of the Lathel statue.
"Damn it! It\'s just a statue made of clay; why is it so strong?
Harris silently scolded, as he tried to use his speed to suppress the statue of Lathel.
"If I let him use magic, I\'m afraid I will die!"
With that thought in mind, as long as the statue of Lathel kept its distance from him, he would rush after it and close the distance so as not to give the statue a chance to use magic.
Alec\'s arm quickly recovered, then he frowned and said: "Does the statue want to protect this place? Good! We just need to take a hostage to threaten the statue, and it will definitely... Hm?! Where are the Yordles? Damn it! Where are they?
Alec looked around, but there were no Yordles in this place except the bodies of the dead Yordles.
The entire village no longer had anyone; even Nina had disappeared without him knowing.
"Damn it!" Alec silently scolded, he planned to use the Yordles as hostages to control the statue of Lathel.
But in the end... the Yordles had run away, he now seemed to be facing a dead end, and he did not know what to do next.
He held the sword tightly and thought about whether to run away or help Harris defeat the statue.
But when he saw that the statue was able to use magic without chanting, his inner confidence began to crack.
Harris saw Alec hesitating and immediately shouted: "Help me, if you run away, he will find you after killing me."
"By then, you and I will both die. We will be killed by the statue, do you want that to happen?"
While Harris was speaking, the statue suddenly rushed forward and threw a punch at him.
He retreated in fear, but as soon as he avoided the statue\'s fist, it started using magic again.
Harris had to rush towards the statue to stop it from using magic.
Hearing that, Alec held the great sword tightly in his hand, then rushed towards the statue to continue fighting.
The statue sensed that Alec was also rushing towards it, and it immediately kicked Harris into the lake, then turned and rushed towards Alec.
KANG!
The statue\'s arm collided with Alec\'s blade. However, the blade could not break the energy layer covering the statue.
On the contrary, Alec felt a tingling sensation in his sword hand, as if he had just slashed a block of metal.
"Damn it! What the hell is this statue made of?" Alec gritted his teeth as he used flames to cover the sword.
A stream of black flames began to surround the sword, then spread to the statue\'s arm.
"Hahaha… Even if I can\'t cut you, the black rose can erode your energy." Alec said confidently, and he smiled fiercely as if he would win.
The statue was not afraid at all; the white energy began to become stronger, and it wrapped around the black flame and spread to the blade.
"Hm?! That is… AAAA!!!" Before Alec could make sense of what had just happened, he felt as if his body had been struck by lightning. An electric current ran through his body, causing him so much pain that he felt like he had seen hell.
The statue didn\'t stop there, it swung its legs and kicked towards Alec\'s stomach.
BAM!
His stomach once again received another kick from the statue, sending him flying back more than ten metres. He rolled several times on the ground before stopping.
Alec hugged his stomach, his face was sweating like he was bathing, however, he didn\'t feel hot but just cold.
As soon as his stomach recovered a little, he received another kick from the Lathel statue again, making it seem as if he was about to explode.
However, what he couldn\'t believe was the electric current that had attacked his body just now.
Alec looked at his hand holding the sword; his veins were as clear as tree roots, and they spread from his hand to his shoulder blade.
This is a common phenomenon when someone is electrocuted or struck by lightning.
"Impossible! How could that bastard possess the lightning element?" Alec muttered, his face filled with disbelief.
However, the statue did not give him a chance to gasp. It immediately continued to rush towards Alec, while swinging its legs and kicking towards his head.
Alec gritted his teeth and raised his sword to block the kick.
KANG!
Alec\'s heavy sword was kicked into the sky, but the statue did not stop as it turned around, swung its leg, and kicked Alec in the stomach.
Alec gritted his teeth, endured the pain, crossed his arms, and blocked the statue\'s kick.
BAM!
"Ack!" Alec felt as if a car had just hit him at over 60 km/h. Alec was thrown away; terrible pain was transmitted from his arms, making him unable to stand up.
Luckily, just now, he used the Black Rose Flame to cover his hands, otherwise, his arms would have been broken.
"Alec, jump into the lake, quickly!" Harris\'s voice rang out in the distance.
At this time, Harris was about 10 metres from the shore, with only his shoulders and head sticking out of the water.
"That statue is made of clay; if it falls into the water, it will sink and disintegrate."
Alec was happy to hear that. It was as if he were falling into a deep abyss, but he was thrown a rope.
He tried to suppress the pain he felt as he rushed towards the lake. The statue behind him did not chase him; rather, it waved its hand, and a magic circle appeared above its head.
Right at this moment, from within that magic circle, a cylindrical ball more than two metres in diameter shot straight into the sky.
While running, Alec turned his head and looked back. When he saw the fireball shooting into the sky, he smiled disdainfully and thought: \'Huh! It can\'t even target accurately.\'
However, what came next was like a slap across Alec\'s face.
That fireball flew more than thirty metres in the air, then exploded, turning into nine fireballs, each of the fireballs was about 30cm in diameter, and it rushed towards Alec like meteors.
"What the hell?!" Alec was startled when he saw the fireballs rushing towards him.
He didn\'t think that the fireball from before would split into nine other fireballs that were aimed in the direction he was running.
With this sudden precision, even Alec couldn\'t do that.
Alec gritted his teeth and used all his remaining strength to run.
The sound of wind whistled closer, as the fireballs carrying terrible temperatures fell.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Explosions continuously rang out as the fireballs impacted the ground; smoke, dust, and fire covered the entire space around Alec.
Harris was so scared when he saw the scene in front of him that he couldn\'t say anything more.
"AAA!!!" Alec\'s scream rang out, he rushed out of the flames with countless burns on his body, then jumped into the lake, and swam towards Harris.
When his hand touched Harris\'s shoulder, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ha… ha… ha…" Alec gasped and said: "What the hell is that statue? Why…ha…ha…why is it so powerful?"
Harris didn\'t know either, so he couldn\'t answer Alec.
"Look!"
Harris suddenly spoke, he and Alec saw the statue of Lathel standing on the shore of the lake, and staring at them.
Even though it\'s just a statue, it looks like a real person, making it scary.
"Do not be afraid!" Harris reassured Alec: "That statue cannot step into the water, it will sink."
"Even if it uses fire magic, we can just dive into the water."
Hearing that, Alec felt extremely reassured, He looked at the statue of Lathel and smiled contemptuously: "Huh! It\'s just a statue, it… Heh?!"
The scene that followed left Alec and Harris with their mouths wide open and their eyes filled with disbelief.
The statue of Lathel stepped into the water, but different from what they thought, that statue... was standing on the water.
