Volume 2: Ruins of the Old Gods Chapter 11: The Guardians
"Aguto, the responsibility of guarding the temple of the gods is entrusted to you......"
On the temple, an ancient god with a majestic body is guiding the heroic soul in front of the temple.
Behind him, there is a stone statue with many exquisite divine patterns carved on it, making the entire stone statue reveal a holy aura.
"Are you willing to accept this duty?" asked the old god.
"I do. β
This answer appears firm and religious.
"Good. β
Seeing this, the ancient god nodded, and with a wave of his robe, he introduced the heroic soul into the stone statue.
Then, with a roar, the stone statue began to move, and walked to His Highness, half-kneeling, facing the ancient god, and said, "The temple, I will guard it!"
After speaking, he took the divine sword handed by the ancient god
However, even the most brilliant things will wither one day.
Gradually, the gods lost their traces, and one by one they fell into a long sleep, and many of their compatriots also left one by one during this time, turning into a dead stone statue.
The guardians of the temple have also become the guardians of the ruins......
"Expulsion...... Slaughter...... Intruder!"
Memories from tens of millions of years ago echo in my mind, as if it were just yesterday.
However, everything in front of him clearly told him that thousands of years had passed.
But this can't affect the dedication to duty in his heart, and it is precisely because of this that he has been able to spend thousands of years and still maintain his original consciousness.
Click-
With the sound of a mechanism activating, the passage between the ground and the underground opened, and the underground palace that had been hidden for several years finally appeared again.
"I'm coming. The statue said slightly mechanically.
Any, holding his big sword, walked in the direction where Chen Mo and Etia were.
On the other side, Chen Mo and Etia were walking on the avenue between the palaces, unaware of what was about to happen.
At this time, they were trying to judge the attributes of the temples by the fluctuations of divine power emitted by each palace, and it was best to find the one that best matched Etiah's needs.
"Still, the area of this temple is huge. Aetiyah said.
"yes. Chen Mo also nodded and agreed.
Because, more than half an hour has passed since they came here, but now they haven't even walked a tenth of this place.
Fortunately, the palaces in this inner city are located in an orderly manner, otherwise, I am afraid that I will get lost in this realm.
β...... It's a blessing in misfortune. Chen Mo continued.
And just as Chen Mo finished saying this, the ground suddenly shook.
"Huh?" Chen Mo was puzzled at first, and then, the alarm bell rang loudly in his heart, so he hurriedly shouted: "Run!"
At this time, Etia was also keenly aware of this movement, especially after hearing Chen Modi's shout, he avoided it at an extremely fast speed.
"Intruder, kill!"
And on the ground where the two of them had been standing, a huge crack suddenly appeared.
It was split by the gargoyle.
"Kill!"
The words of the ancient gods came out of his mouth, faintly resonating with the divine patterns on the surrounding temples, and feeding back to the stone statue, bringing amplification to the stone giant.
"What is this?!" shouted Aetia.
"I don't know!" Chen Mo replied.
And at this moment, the stone statue came again, holding a big sword, but it looked extremely flexible.
Boom β
Another slash.
Although this blow did not split the ground again, it also turned into several sword qi and flew towards Chen Mo and Etiya.
Looking at this scene, Chen Mo couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and said secretly: What amazing control!
At this moment, Chen Mo actually felt an unprecedented pressure on this stone statue.
"What the hell is this guy?!"
However, the current situation does not allow Chen Mo to think about anything.
Because that sword qi had already attacked, Chen Mo had to open the energy shield to protect it.
Click-
And this time, the energy shield that was enough to withstand the blows of the Dragonborn appeared a slight crack under this attack.
But don't underestimate this rift.
Because it was just a casual blow to the statue.
On Etiah's side, he was forced to take a few steps back by this blow.
"What kind of monster is this?!" shouted Etiah.
At this time, the gargoyle giant responded unexpectedly, saying, "My name is Aguto, the chief guard of the Temple of the Gods, and the guardian of the tomb. You intruders, you're going to die here!"
As he spoke, the big sword in his hand struck again, slashing horizontally and diagonally, and the blade turned into a phantom, splitting out a series of sharp sword qi.
Under this offensive, Chen Mo and Etiya can only choose defense for the time being, seeking breakthroughs in defense.
"Command!" Seizing the opportunity, Chen Mo summoned several floating cannons and rushed behind the gargoyle.
"Launch!"
Boom β
Explosions rang out, although they also stirred up a lot of smoke and dust, but the effect was very limited, and even the stone armor of the gargoyle giant was not broken, but it also aroused the gargoyle's inner desire to fight.
"Kill!"
There was another roar, and the gargoyle's attacks became faster and faster.
"Damn. Chen Mo scolded angrily.
At this time, Aetiyah suddenly spoke up and said, "Chen Mo, can you buy me a little time." β
"Yes. Chen Mo replied.
"Good. Etiah nodded.
I saw that Chen Mo turned on the offensive, changed defense to offense, and summoned a few floating cannons. At the same time, around him, the same mechs used in the Pilsner Mountains reappeared.
"Command!!" Chen Mo shouted.
Any, those floating cannons around them began to attack constantly.
Rays of energy shot out from the muzzles of the floating cannons and landed on the stone giant.
And this time, the gargoyle finally made a move, sword in hand, and began to spin, trying to shoot down the damn "flies".
At this time, Chen Mo grasped the opportunity, and in front of him, the mechanical particles began to reorganize, and gradually formed a mechanical ring, on which the power of the elements continued to gather, exuding a breath of annihilation.
That's right, this is the "Positive Electron Annihilation Cannon" that Chen Mo used to break through the altar of the Shadow Church in the first place!
Boom β
A huge pillar of light shot out, and under the compression of the energy position, this energy also appeared even more terrifying. Fell on the gargoyle, blasting a crack in the hard body of the gargoyle in an instant.
However, the result of this blow was beyond Chen Mo's expectations.
Because, what Chen Mo broke was only the outermost stone armor of the gargoyle, and as for its inner core area, it only suffered some minor injuries.
"Kill!"
The gargoyle roared again.
And this time, the giant's attack became even more aggressive.
Looking at this scene, Chen Mo was shocked again in his heart, why is this guy fighting more and more?
At this time, Chen Mo's floating cannons were also knocked down by the gargoyle giant.
After freeing his hand, he also raised his sword again and slashed at Chen Mo.
Feeling the power of this sword, Chen Mo didn't dare to slack off in his heart.
Raising your hand is the most powerful energy shield that can be sent out at the moment.
Knock β
That powerful force directly stirred up ripples on Chen Mo's energy shield.
And Chen Mo also retreated again and again under this impact.
Damn it!
This strength was much stronger than most of the enemies that Chen Mo had encountered before, and even now Chen Mo could only barely resist it.
In other words, the monster in front of him is afraid that it is not weaker than Chen Mo's current strength!
This is not good news for Chen Mo.
"Intruder, your path will be dark!" the colossus raised its sword again.
And this time, Chen Mo is not choosing defense. Instead, he directly relied on his own position, like dancing on the tip of a knife, and wrestled with the stone giant.
At this time, behind him, Etiah's voice came, shouting towards Chen Mo: "Get out of the way!"
Then, from Aetia's hand, black flaming thorns sprouted, and in the blink of an eye they wrapped around the gargoyle's body.
"What is this, what have you done to me?!" the gargoyle seemed to be a little terrified by the black flames.
"Forbidden SpellβBlack Fire Thorns!" Etiah slowly spat out the name of the magic.
Forbidden spell is a special magic that is independent of the general magic system, it is not limited to its own level, but only related to the strength of the user, the stronger the strength, the greater the strength of the forbidden spell.
In addition to this, the forbidden spell also has a special ability, that is: amplification and restraint.
Different forbidden spells have different powers in different environments. And against different enemies, it can also play some special miracles.
Although it costs a lot of precious materials and a lot of mana, it can turn defeat into victory and change the course of a battle in times of crisis.
For example, right now, this black flame is the best restraint against divine enemies.
This is one of the reasons why Etia dared to directly shift her attention to the extremely dangerous place of the ancient god ruins after getting the news.
"Savor it, the smell of death. β
As Etiah's voice fell, the terrifying black flames crawled all over the gargoyle's body, beginning to eat away at his body.
And he could only watch himself be consumed by the flames under the shackles of this thorn.
"No......" the gargoyle struggled.
At this moment, in the depths of his mind, the memory of the dust came flooding back again.
At that time, he was still human.
He is a general of a small country in the west.
In their country, everyone has a special talent, that is, the more they fight, the more courageous they become.
Under this talent, the race can be said to be invincible in the same level on the Moge Continent, and even has a strong ability to fight beyond the level.
So, every resident of this country is a born warrior.
And he can also rely on this talent to protect his homeland.
However, in a campaign to defend against the invasion, due to one of his own negligences, the entire stronghold was lost.
Although at the last moment, he relied on his talent to become more and more brave and broke through with one enemy and one hundred, but he himself was seriously injured in that battle.
And that stronghold was also occupied by the enemy, and a large piece of territory was lost one after another.
As for himself, after this, he was scolded by his clansmen, and during this time, the most he heard was: "Do you think you can really protect it?"
This sentence was like a sharp thorn in his heart.
During that time, he was depressed for a while.
However, this state of affairs did not last long.
Soon, the enemy country again sent troops and invaded his country.
Along the way, those soldiers were overwhelmed, and they even hit their capital.
Seeing the wolf smoke burning not far away, that memory came to his heart again, and with the insults of the countrymen to him, his heart was ignited again.
At this moment, he picked up the sword in his hand again and rushed towards the battlefield.
At this time, he remembered the sentence again: "Do you think you can really protect it?"
May I?
"I can!" he roared.
In that battle, he successfully led his soldiers to resist the attack of the enemy, and he himself died in this battle.
When he woke up again, he was already in the Temple of the Gods.
In front of him was a man with a majestic figure.
He knew it was God.
"Aguto, can you guard the Temple of the Gods?"
Hearing this, Aguto lowered his head slightly and said firmly: "I can." β
Termination of recollection.
The gargoyle roared, and suddenly burst into a powerful force.
"I can...... Guard!"
Then, Chen Mo and Etia saw a scene that surprised them very much.
The gargoyle, which should have been eroded by the black flames, actually broke the forbidden spell magic with his own strength!
