Chapter 664: The Great Collapse of Faith
I don't know when it began, the stumps and severed limbs of the people of Aizhe scattered all over the battlefield suddenly disappeared completely.
The three warring parties, in addition to the people of Eizhe themselves, the mages of Crystal Lake and the Desert Legion have sent special personnel to collect this massive wealth. As a universal sacrifice, the Eiger Redstone, which allows any god to be "infinitely happy", is not only the hardest and strongest currency on the Dota Continent, but also a strategic resource for all forces to compete for.
As long as there are enough sacrifices, you can draw power directly from the gods, and create a large number of strong people in a very short time.
It is true that if the sacrificer himself has no talent and insufficient combat experience, most of the strong people produced in batches in this way are just showmanship, and they will often lose in the face of opponents of the same level with rich combat experience.
But these problems can be made up by quantity, and if one-on-one is not good, then three or five will hit one.
The difficulty for an ordinary civilian to be promoted to the level of the war king is comparable to ascending to the sky, and if there is no local tyrant to support and sacrifice a large number of sacrifices when promoting to the fifth stage, the road after that is also bumpy step by step, so the sacrifice is also the basis for the noble class of the Dota Continent to control the strong and rule the world.
Once, out of curiosity, a scholar mage began to study the secret of why the redstone was so popular with the gods. The scholar mage stubbornly believed that the ultimate secret of the gods of the heavenly realm was hidden in the redstone of Eizhe.
This view of his was eventually proved to be correct, because almost all the gods sent oracles at the same time, sending divine servants to kill the scholar and mage, and from then on, whether privately or publicly, as long as anyone tried to delve into the nature of the Eizhe Redstone, they would invariably become enemies of the gods, and the final outcome would be tragic. Even the Crystal Lake mage, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic and does not dare to do anything, is still shallow in this matter.
But human behavior may be restrained, but curiosity can never be extinguished, especially for magicians who essentially question all gods. Mages do not worship the gods, they gain power by studying the rules of the plane themselves, and the sacrifices are just a currency of great value to them, but the most elite mage legion in Crystal Lake will appear in this redstone world, and if they are only here to grab money, then no fool will believe it.
"What's the matter, where did all those redstones on the battlefield go?" the leader of the mage group called over to a low-level mage and asked, "We killed a lot of redstone lifeforms just now, and you haven't collected their corpses?"
"My lord, they ...... The corpses, all, melted away, and then ...... And then by the earth, sucked, absorbed......"
"Melt?absorb?" the regimental leader muttered to herself, her eyes searching the battlefield repeatedly, and finally saw the scene described by the low-level mage.
At this time, the people of Eizhe had already contracted their formation under the order of Goron, and jointly defended with the Desert Legion, and the casualties plummeted, and only one unlucky ghost on the periphery was hit head-on by a magic bullet Steel Nail, and was torn apart. The leader of the mage group unleashed Eagle Eye magic to scrutinize it, and under her gaze, the shattered redstone remains of Eiger were like thin ice under the scorching sun, rapidly melting into a red liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then merging into the earth.
This strange scene definitely started after Goron appeared. If it was just the loss of Ezer redstone, the Crystal Lake Mage Leader would not have paid much attention to it, but as the red liquid melted into the earth, the uneasy feeling in her heart escalated rapidly.
"What the hell is this guy trying to do?"
She knew the answer very quickly, and in the worst possible way.
Just as the mage legion was happily pouring magical death rain on their opponents, there was a sudden shaking under their feet, and giant red crystal pillars rose from the ground, interspersed in the mage's position.
"What the hell is going on?"
"It's a trap ......," the witch next to him muttered, "The place where we are standing now is where that little bastard has been, he is a shaman, and he has special magical powers, these are the totem poles he summoned......"
The totem magic possessed by the "Totem Pole ......" shaman flashed in the mind of the leader of the mage group one by one, and then a name appeared in her mind. Although it is known that it is impossible for any shaman priest to summon a large number of these totems at the same time, this is not the Dota Continent, and common sense and common sense cannot be applied to that dead imp.
"Damn it! Everyone's defensive magic! Get ready to defend against the onslaught!"
"Did you find out, it's a pity, it's a little late......" Goron was expressionless and snapped his fingers lightly......
"Explode them all for me, Flame Nova!"
That's right, this is the tactic that Goron has improvised to bury a large number of flame nova totems with the strongest instantaneous destructive power under his feet, and then lure his opponent into the trap himself.
However, there were several variables in Goron's tactics, the absolute trust of the people of Eiger, and the despicable actions of the desert legions, which caused heavy casualties among the people of Geron, but since Goron's appearance, their corpses can no longer be kept like ordinary stones as before, but melted and melted into the earth.
Goron didn't know the reason, and of course he didn't have time to ask, but when he used totem to summon magic and tried to use the surrounding matter as materials to create a totem pole out of thin air, the corpses of the people of Aizhe who had integrated into the earth responded immediately and became the necessary material materials for the composition of the totem pole.
A totem pole made of red stone in Ai Zhe? This kind of extravagant behavior is not to mention that Goron himself has not thought about it, if any shaman on the mainland knows, he will curse Goron to death, a loser. With such a large number of redstone sacrifices, he could smash out a bunch of fifth-order war king sacrifices, but Ge Long actually used it to cast a one-time consumption totem spell. What a loser.
Under the control of Golon, the totem pole exploded, although the mages of the crystal lake turned on all the instantaneous defensive magic, but it was really too high to chase and beat the Reservoir Dogs, they had become crushing the situation, and no one even used a large protective barrier to maintain it, relying on instantaneous magic alone, how could they perfectly resist the explosion of the flame nova totem whose power was comparable to that of the high-level fire explosion technique.
"It looks like there will be a lot of casualties this time. The leader of the mage group lamented in his heart, but that's all, although the Flame Nova Totem has a wide range of attacks and is not bad, it is only comparable to the Fire Flame Explosion Technique at best.
What magicians are best at dealing with is magic, and the protective enchantments on their bodies are layered one after another. In addition, the Crystal Lake is comparable to the Holy See of the Holy Light, and it is far above some medium-sized countries. As its elite combat power, the protective equipment equipped with by the Super Demon Dao Combat Group is also the limit that mass-produced equipment can reach, and the leaders and leaders even have a lot of epic equipment. Baptized by so many flame nova totems, although it will be disgraced, and it is inevitable that a few people will die, but it is impossible to break the muscles and bones.
But the next moment, looking at the team of magicians, the talisman barrier was torn to pieces under the black-red mushroom cloud that rose into the sky, and his body was burned to ashes, the leader of the mage group knew that he was wrong, and it was unforgivable.
The power of this explosion actually scared even the little ogre himself......
He had used the Flame Nova Totem as a bomb more than once, and the secret base of the Skull and Bones Society had been destroyed by him before, but compared to before, the power of this explosion was vastly different.
It's not just that the power of the explosion has increased dramatically, but that something more essential has been completely changed.
It's no secret that mages have the highest magic resistance of any combat class, but the fire and heat from the redstone explosion of Eiger, as if completely ignoring the protective barriers, easily tore through the mages' fragile bodies, tearing them to pieces like pieces of paper, and then burning them to ashes in an instant.
However, in Goron's eyes, this is not only the case, not only him, but all the strong people who can perceive the rules at the bottom of the plane can feel that the mages who were killed by the explosion have disappeared not only their bodies, but even their souls, no, their existence itself has been erased at the root.
Ordinary people may have a very superficial understanding of "death", only knowing that death is death, and it is a hundred. But for high-level magicians, death does not mean the end, and strong spiritual power can still allow their souls to stay in the world, and they can do many things. The famous undead lich is the result of a magician who is unwilling to allow his body to decay and die in aging, so as to directly transform himself into an undead creature.
Therefore, for these elite mages in Crystal Lake, the most feared thing is that their existence will be completely erased, as if they have never appeared in the first place.
Magicians do not believe in gods, but they do have a deeper spiritual belief, which is "truth". It is an honor to sacrifice on the path of searching for truth, because your "traces" will forever be engraved on the "tree of truth".
Eternal existence......
Exist......
Eternity......
But if one's own existence itself is erased, it means that all sacrifices are worthless, and this is the collapse of faith, which is simply more terrible than the soul being enslaved and tormented by a necromancer.
Golon's flame nova totem explosion did not wipe out the Super Demon Dao Legion, but the strange and inexplicable method of erasing existence destroyed their dignity and reason in an instant, only to see the magicians who were lucky enough to survive to scream like crazy, and the deputy head of the leader even took out an ancient sheepskin scroll from his arms, and then directly tore it to pieces, a cloud of blue light instantly enveloped the mages, and then countless spells and rotating magic patterns appeared in the air, and the next moment all the mage's bodies turned into a streamer and disappeared directly on the spot.
The highest-level group labyrinth is detached from the scroll, a relic of the Magic Emperor during the ancient god wars. The craftsmanship of its production has long been lost, and only a handful of scrolls have survived to this day, and their value is immeasurable. There is no doubt that this is the last resort of the Crystal Lake Super Demon Dao Corps.
The crooked fight is completely overturned in an instant, although Golon's heart is stirring, and his heart rises and falls like a roller coaster, but the little ogre is a person who has seen many "big worlds" after all, and even indirectly fought with the gods of the heavenly realm several times. The face is always unfazed. Strangely enough, the people behind him didn't seem surprised by the result, as if everything was taken for granted, and they didn't even cheer for the least victory.
There was silence on the battlefield......
