Chapter 382 Attack

“Sir Wizard!”

An old voice sounded, and then Shaman Kerza walked over with his walking stick.

“Shaman.” Heath saluted.

Kerza put on a smile. “It’s nice to see you here. Your arrival has given us more confidence in defeating the Nightmare. This is really good news for us.”

F*ck… They hadn’t even started and he was already trying to pin the responsibility on him…

Heath was speechless in his heart.

He nodded and said, “If there is a need, I will do my best to bring help to you.” Since he had already said so much, Heath felt that it was inappropriate for him not to make a statement. Anyway, that was it for now. If it wasn’t something troublesome, he wouldn’t mind helping out, and if it was something particularly troublesome and powerful, then it would be meaningless for him to help out. Shaman Kerza nodded. “I’m relieved to hear that from you, Sir Wizard.”

Da da da… At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. Not long after, he saw an Underground Gnome running towards them in a hurry.

When he came close, he said in a panic, “Shaman, Shaman, the Nightmare is coming, the Nightmare is coming.”

When they heard this, the faces of the Underground Gnomes around them could not help but turn pale. The atmosphere seemed to become heavy all of a sudden, and the Shaman next to them also changed the smile he had before. The brows on his forehead were tightly knitted.

He said in a low voice, “I know.”

After a pause, he turned to Heath and said, “Sir Wizard, let’s go there quickly.” Heath followed the Shaman, Kerza, to the front of the main gate of the camp. Under the protection of the Underground Gnomes, he walked to the gate of the camp, and in front of him was a lush forest.

Under the cover of the night, this lush forest was quiet. There seemed to be some black shadows flashing through the dense bushes. The night wind blew, and the treetops swayed. Long shadows were dragged out on the ground. Their shapes were ferocious and twisted. Together, they made the place look eerie. The only camp on the hillside that was flickering with fire now looked like a sheltered island in the middle of a violent storm, causing people to hold their breath. Hu! Hu! At this moment, the sound of the wind suddenly became stronger.

Uh uh… At the same time, an unpleasant and strange sound was heard. It sounded like the sound of a leaking throat being torn. It reminded Heath of the wailing undead on the Bloody Battlefield.

As the sound was heard, the forest in front of them shook even more violently. Not long after, a strange creature walked out from the forest.

It was a humanoid creature. It had two feet on the ground, two hands on its body, and a head on the top of its head. However, it only looked like a human. In fact, its appearance had nothing to do with a human.

There was something that looked like a head on its head, but no facial features could be seen on its face. There were only four tiny holes in the middle, like a four-point sieve. Its body was a puddle of mud-like material, and some unknown material was still flowing down its body as it walked. It was nauseating.

“Nightmare, it’s a Nightmare! It’s a Nightmare!”

“It’s a Nightmare, it’s a Nightmare!”

This thing that did not seem to have much combat power seemed to have brought great psychological pressure to the Underground Gnomes. When they saw it appear outside the forest, the Underground Gnomes immediately became nervous. All kinds of panicked voices sounded one after another.

Hualala!

Before the Underground Gnomes could shake off the fear in front of them, the treetops shook again, and then human figures walked out from the bushes.

Just like the disgusting creature in front, the ones that came out from behind also had round heads, four points of facial features, and four limbs that were like mud. They were also Nightmares.

One…

Two…

Five…

Eight!

Heath counted. There were a total of eight Nightmares that came out from the bushes. They spread out in a semicircle and surrounded the exit of the camp.

“Eight! Eight!”

“Oh my god, eight Nightmares! There are eight Nightmares!”

The Underground Gnomes that were already panicking were even more afraid now. Gasps and panicky voices quickly spread among the Underground Gnomes. The defensive line, which had been barely maintained, was immediately thrown into chaos.

Even the Shaman Kerza’s expression turned ugly.

He frowned. “There are actually eight Nightmares this time…”

Heath raised his eyebrows and asked in puzzlement, “Eight Nightmares? Is that a lot?”

Kerza nodded. He said worriedly, “Yes, normally there will only be one or two, not more than five. I really didn’t expect there to be eight this time… Could it be because they noticed that the magic array left by Wizard Achute had problems?”

On the way here, Heath had heard Al introduce the magic array to him. It was the magic array that the Wizard who had brought the Underground Gnomes here had set up for the Underground Gnomes. It was used to help the Underground Gnomes settle down here.

“Roar!!!”

At this moment, an intense roar was heard. Following that, the eight Nightmares suddenly released an aura, as if they wanted to launch an attack here.

Heath narrowed his eyes, trying his best to feel the aura released by these Nightmares, trying to identify the strength of these Nightmares. But for some reason, he could not sense any aura through his spiritual power. These Nightmares seemed to be very weak. They even gave him the same feeling as an ant on the side of the road.

“They’re going to attack!”

“They’re going to attack!”

The Underground Gnomes that were already in chaos became even more panicked. Some of the Underground Gnomes in the front row could not help but start to retreat.

Seeing that the defense line of the Underground Gnomes was about to collapse before the battle began, Albert, as the leader, quickly performed his duty and stood out to give orders.

“D*mn it, all of you stand properly. Don’t panic, don’t panic. With the Shaman, Sir Wizard, and the magic array left by the Wizard to protect us, we will win!” “We will win!”

Albert’s roar was very effective. After hearing his shout, the Underground Gnomes turned their heads to look at Heath and Shaman Kerza. Seeing the two of them standing calmly in front of them without any sign of cowardice, the originally chaotic Underground Gnomes gradually quieted down.

“Yes, with the Shaman, with Sir Wizard, with magic, with magic, we will be protected!”

“In front of magic, even a Nightmare is nothing. Don’t be afraid!”

“Roar!”

At this moment, another roar was heard. Along with this roar, the eight Nightmares that were originally standing suddenly rushed up the hill and attacked the camp of the Underground Gnomes.

“They’re here!”

Five hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!

Two hundred meters!

One hundred meters!

‘What fast speed!’ Heath was slightly surprised.

These unknown creatures that did not seem to have much combat strength launched an attack that greatly exceeded Heath’s expectations. Their speed was extremely fast. It could be said that their speed was no less than his usual running speed. After all, he was a Grand Knight who was known for his speed!

In an instant, these monsters had already appeared around 100 meters away from the camp and arrived near the stone wall.

Just as the monster was about to rush up the hill, the stone wall at the bottom of the hill suddenly lit up with a beam of light. The air twisted, a transparent forcefield spread out from the air and formed a transparent wall of light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The eight Nightmares hit the wall of light one after another. The wall of light trembled and a loud boom was heard.

“It… It stopped!”

“It stopped!”

The Underground Gnomes heaved a sigh of relief.

Heath raised his eyebrows and his gaze fell on the light walls. “This is…”

He could feel the dense positive energy particles on the light walls. The light element was very abundant. It was obvious that this was a magic array with the light element as the core of the positive energy element. The light element was a moderate element. Its combat ability could only be said to be average among the many elemental spells. However, this element had an excellent effect in resisting the dark elements. It had an excellent counter against the dark element. And because of this, the light element was usually used to set up a defensive magic array against the dark element.

“So, these Nightmares are monsters with the dark element as the main negative energy?”

Heath could not help but guess.

“Roar…”

A violent roar sounded again. The Nightmares did not stop after being stopped by the wall of light. Instead, they began to attack the wall of light.

Their attacks were very monotonous and purely physical. They raised their long arms and clenched them into fists, punching the wall of light one after another. In an instant… A deafening rumble rang out, and the wall of light shook continuously. Ripples appeared one after another on the surface of the wall, as if it was a lake that had been stirred up.

Crack…

Under the intense attack of the Nightmares, a soft and clear sound suddenly rang out. Immediately after, a tiny crack appeared on the wall of light, as if it was a crack that had appeared on a glass mirror. The expressions of the Underground Gnomes present changed at the same time.

Before they could react, the crack grew rapidly and spread to the entire wall of light in an instant. Then, with a ‘clang’ sound, the wall of light exploded like a broken mirror. The broken light spots scattered everywhere. “The defensive spell has been broken!”

“The defensive spell has been broken!”

The Underground Gnomes were shocked.

Albert, the leader of the Underground Gnomes, also looked terrible, but he quickly raised the stone axe in his hand and shouted, “Calm down, my clansmen, excellent Underground Gnomes, follow me! Sir Wizard is with us!” “Sir Wizard is with us!”

With that, he led a group of Underground Gnomes and charged forward.

At the same time, the surrounding stone walls flickered with dazzling beams of light, and magic arrays appeared beneath the Underground Gnomes’ feet. From the patterns and patterns of these magic arrays, it could be seen that they were all beneficial spells. After the beams of light flashed, Heath could feel that the physique of each Underground Gnome had increased.

“The Wizards are with us!”

Under the cover of these magic arrays, the aura of the Underground Gnomes had also increased greatly. It was as if they had forgotten their fear in an instant. They roared and rushed towards the Nightmares, and quickly collided with them.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Pu! Pu! Pu!

These Nightmares were about three to four meters tall. Even for a normal-sized human like Heath, they were tall. To the Underground Gnomes, they were like giants.

The Underground Gnomes raised their stone axes and stone spears in their hands and continuously attacked the Nightmares’ ankles. When these stone axes hit the Nightmares’ ankles, a series of ‘pu pu pu’ sounds could be heard. For a moment, only a large amount of rotten mud-like substances could be seen flying in all directions. It looked extremely disgusting

However, when the Underground Gnomes attacked, The Nightmare monsters also began to retaliate against the Underground Gnomes.

Their attacks were still very monotonous. They were purely physical attacks, but their effects were very outstanding. The deterrence effect was even stronger, because they were completely eating the Underground Gnomes.

Yes, they stretched out their long arms and casually grabbed the Underground Gnomes on the ground and stuffed them into their heads.

Initially, Heath thought that these monsters did not have mouths, but when the Underground Gnomes approached their faces, the faces of these monsters would not automatically crack open into a long crack. It was filled with rows of sharp teeth. The Nightmare opened its big mouth that was filled with sharp teeth and put the Underground Gnomes in. Then, with a few crunching sounds, it chewed the Underground Gnomes into pieces and swallowed them into its stomach. Crack! Crack! Crack! At that moment, one after another, the Underground Gnomes were sent into Nightmares’ mouths. These Nightmares acted like they were eating at a buffet. With both hands, they grabbed the Underground Gnomes on the ground one after another and stuffed them into their mouths. In front of these giant creatures, the Underground Gnomes had no chance to resist at all.

Seeing the Underground Gnomes being eaten one by one, Shaman Kerza could not sit still. His face suddenly darkened. “These d*mn things!”

As he said that, he raised his long cane and chanted a strange spell. Heath felt a surge of spiritual power start to be released from Kerza’s body. Obviously… The Shaman was about to cast a spell.

For a moment, Heath could not help but focus his attention on Kerza. He had never seen a Shaman’s spell before. What would it look like?
