Chapter 410: The Fearsome Grigg
The golems, largely unscathed, leapt down from the fortress walls.
With the advantage of their massive bodies, they crushed the charging orcs beneath them.
Amidst the billowing dust, the slightly damaged golems activated combat mode.
They used their hulking forms to shield Elio and Beelzebub.
The frenzied orcs quickly identified the golems as a weak point and began targeting them aggressively.
Thanks to their newly reinforced steel armor and sturdy frames, the golems held the orcs at bay, retaliating with spiked fists.
However, these modified clay golems were designed primarily to delay the enemy.
As the enraged orcs swarmed and dismantled them, reducing them to rubble,
Bay Territory's elite soldiers charged in. Enhanced by their second surgeries, their robust bodies withstood the orcs' assault.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A continuous barrage of bolts rained down from behind the breach, suppressing the orcs' advance.
One after another, six-armed golems joined the fray, swinging long spears and great swords to cover the entire breach.
The narrow breach allowed only a few dozen orcs to attack at once.
Even with high-tier orc elites among them, they couldn't overcome the steel-clad six-armed golems.
Spear after spear flew in, gradually chipping away at the golems, but not fast enough to destroy them.
The orcs' momentum was stalled!
Bay Territory's defenses, once on the brink of collapse, began to stabilize.
"First and second archer squads, approach the breach and target the orcs on the slope!"
"Reserve units, deploy behind the breach and form a defensive line!"
"Everyone else, prioritize aiding the wounded. Task force, use alchemical fire oil to destroy the ladders below the walls!"
Angela tirelessly issued commands, rallying the soldiers, reorganizing their formations, and dispatching reinforcements to the breach.
She ordered the defenders within Bull Fortress to unleash their full firepower.
Large quantities of alchemical fire oil and flaming oil were thrown from the walls, setting the orcs below ablaze.
The scattered ladders were quickly engulfed in flames and reduced to ashes.
"Charge!"
"Take that breach!"
"Keep climbing the ladders!"
"Ah…!"
"Fire…"
"Run…!"
The orcs beneath the walls roared in fury, desperately trying to storm the fortress.
The Earthquake spell had also disrupted the orcs' formation.
Without additional ladders arriving in time, their threat continued to diminish.
At that moment, the massive figure of Grigg charged toward the breach in a frenzy.
His body was charred, and his arms and back bore severe burn marks.
Yet the pain couldn't deter his determination as he barreled forward.
A vast shadow descended, enveloping Grigg.
Sensing imminent danger, he dodged aside.
Whoosh!
Yaya's deep breath blanketed the orcs in front of the breach with searing dragon flames.
The lethal dragon breath, dealing over 60 points of damage, instantly claimed the lives of hundreds of elite orcs.
Most importantly, it completely halted the orcs' advance.
They could only watch as the heavily armored soldiers sealed the breach.
Beelzebub and Elio, drenched in blood, finally caught their breath.
They gulped down restorative potions to recover their strength quickly.
Grigg, who had dodged the dragon breath, felt its lingering threat as he angrily raised his axe and pointed it at the circling Yaya.
A chill wind blew through.
Clouds gathered in the sky as countless ice shards formed. Summoned by Matthew's spell, they cascaded down in a mighty storm.
Furious, Grigg shattered the falling ice pillars with swings of his axe, his rage building.
As Yaya's dragon breath waned, Grigg charged again.
Yaya roared and swooped down from above.
Instead of evading, Grigg raised his massive axe calmly, unleashing a torrent of energy toward her descending claws.
Bang!
The fierce impact sent shockwaves rippling outward.
Yaya roared in pain as Grigg took two steps back, only to be met with her spiked tail swinging around.
Grigg didn't flinch, his powerful body generating immense force as he slashed at the incoming tail.
Boom!
A crack appeared on Yaya's tough dragon scales, and blood gushed out.
The excruciating pain made Yaya roar continuously, but she didn't retreat. She continued her fierce confrontation with Grigg.
Matthew's constant reminders echoed in her ears:
"Keep wearing him down."
"Don't let him hit the same spot twice."
"Be cautious of surprise attacks targeting your vital points."
"Maintain your distance; don't engage too closely."
"Use your aerial advantage for more devastating strikes."
"…"
Matthew launched fireball after fireball, scattering the approaching orcs, while casting magic shields, strength boosts, and agility enhancements on Yaya.
Thanks to Yaya's relentless efforts, the not fully recovered Grigg, despite holding the upper hand, couldn't break through her defenses.
Frustration and anger brewed within Grigg as his battle energy fused with his black armor.
Already a powerhouse, Grigg suddenly became even faster.
Taking advantage of a momentary lapse, Grigg endured a strike from Yaya's claws and swung his axe at her wing.
Crack!
"Roar…!"
Blood sprayed as Yaya roared in pain, her body crashing to the ground.
Fighting through the pain, Yaya swung her spiked tail, striking the airborne Grigg.
Boom!
The heavy blow sent Grigg flying, landing among the orc soldiers and crushing a dozen under his weight.
Yaya struggled back to her feet, glaring at the disheveled Grigg. Her nearly severed wing was already beginning to heal.
The battle-hardened Grigg noticed this immediately.
Ignoring his own injuries, he roared and charged once more with his axe.
Yaya, equally unyielding, charged back without hesitation.
The two clashed fiercely.
Yaya's formidable defense and devastating dragon claws made her a force to be reckoned with.
Grigg's agility and explosive power allowed him to penetrate her defenses.
They fought for seven to eight minutes.
Yaya began to lose ground, while the seemingly battered Grigg retained his incredible strength.
Observing from above, Matthew finally uncovered the truth:
"Legendary Skill LV2—Heart of Terrorclaw: regenerates 1% health and stamina per second, immune to lethal damage once within seven days!"
No wonder Grigg seemed invincible!
This is absolutely insane!
