At this time, Nonan of the Lopez family came over, and there were several other important figures of the forces who followed him, Arroyo of the Roche Clonmentin family, Missouri of the Thunder Church, Agani of the Flame Church, and even Tasa followed.
"Hello Miss Nike Beammons, it looks like you've got all the members of your team together. Nonan walked over and greeted him like an old acquaintance.
Phyllis raised her head proudly, like a peacock, "Of course, our team is all elite, how can a few alchemy traps in this layer be difficult for us?"
"Well, that's right, I'd like to work with you guys to jointly reconnoiter the situation on the second layer. Nonan pondered for a moment and said, "After all, the second layer is likely to be more dangerous than this first. β
It dawned on Darko that he finally knew why the important figures of these forces had gathered together, and until now there were less than two thousand people gathered in the hall. In other words, 80% of the people have been eliminated in this first layer, and such a ratio has frightened the major forces, so it was decided to unite temporarily. Not all of the 80% of them died, and a small number of them teleported away, but there was no way to return to the ruins after teleporting away, and the loss of exploration in the ruins was the same.
"Tell me, how do you scout?" Phyllis thought it would be boring to wait like this, so she might as well find something interesting to do.
Agani explained with a smile, "It's a five-level light magic visual sharing, which can connect the vision of the pet and the scout. β
"Do you want to scout by sharing your vision with the pets?" Phyllis was no stranger to the method Agani was talking about, but she was a little strange, pointing to Arroyo and Noonan, "Aren't there a lot of their summoned creatures, and why are they coming to us?"
The Roche Clenmending family is of demonic sorcerer blood, capable of summoning demons from the abyss to fight. The Lopez family is a god of life bloodline, most of them are elves, and there are many druids among them, who can drive all kinds of beasts.
"Because our summon was killed as soon as we went down, we didn't have time to observe the situation on the second floor, so we ......" Arroyo was a little embarrassed, but his eyes looked at the abomination on the side.
"You want to use abomination to reconnoitre," Phyllis saw their thoughts from Arroyo's gaze, and then pointed at Nonan and reprimanded, "It's said that it's a joint reconnaissance, but it's for other families to send their pets to death, your Lopez family is only responsible for casting spells and sharing visions, and it's your family's people who get the information, it's really a good calculation!"
Agani hurriedly stepped forward to play a round, "Miss Nike Dimmons, you can't say that, only the Lopez family's light spell can cast a spell to share vision for a long time. Now that the situation on the lower floor is unknown, we should also work together to conduct reconnaissance together. β
The Lopez family, which is of the God of Life bloodline, is the most powerful in the light system except for the green system. At this time, in the hall on the entire first floor, the magicians who can cast this high-level light spell of visual sharing are probably only found by the Lopez family.
Phyllis was still full of distrust, and shook her head like a rattle, "That's impossible, who knows if they are undercover agents of the Church of Light, what if the information about our abomination attribute is found out by you?"
The Church of Life, where the Lopez family is located, has always had close contacts with the Church of Light, while the Nike Remones family has the best relationship with the Church of Darkness and the Church of Ice. Noonan offered to borrow abomination at this time, which was naturally rejected by Phyllis.
In fact, the Lopez family's dealings with the Church of Light are extremely limited, and it is only because of the special circumstances of the Pope of Life that many things cannot be done in person, so they will entrust the Church of Light to act as an agent. But Nonan couldn't explain these things to Phyllis in detail, and he was helpless about being rejected.
When George heard this, he said, "Phyllis, I remember that Nonan helped you on the island of Bulon, and in that case, it is also appropriate for them to help each other when they are in trouble." β
Nonan heard George's words and looked at George with a grateful expression. But Phyllis understood the meaning of George's words, and there was no big secret in Hate, but he could repay a favor by lending it to them, so it was better to lend it to them. Darko is more aware of this, chaos is a force that belongs to the level of law, and of course it will not be detected by a visual sharing magic.
Nonan was about to thank him, but heard George ask, "How many pets did you send in earlier?"
"Four, among them are three fifth-order demonic beasts and one sixth-order demon. β
Darko and the others were also stunned when they heard this, the fifth-order demonic beast already had the strength comparable to that of a great warrior, not to mention the sixth-order demon. But even so, after being sent in, it is still seconds, and it can be seen that the danger of the second floor is not less than that of the first floor.
George thought for a moment and continued, "Abomination can borrow from you, but I also have a condition, our family also has a person to share the vision with Abomination, so that you can also prevent something from being missed. β
Nonan knew that George was afraid that they were deliberately withholding some information, so he turned his head and discussed with the old man behind him, and agreed to George's request.
George thought for a moment and said, "Abomination is different from other Warcraft, it has too many eyes, and visual sharing with it may cause a large amount of information income, resulting in overwhelm, and even mental breakdown." β
Elena also nodded in agreement and said, "I hate the things that so many pairs of eyes see, if all of them are reflected in a pair of eyes that share its vision, it is indeed easy to exceed the mental load, and may even cause dizziness and coma." β
"It doesn't matter, our family also has people with strong mental strength. Nonan said confidently, and then said to the girl beside her, "Shirley, it's up to you to scout." β
George beckoned to Darko, "Darko, you have the strongest mental power, come and try to share the vision with the abomination." β
Libya was the first to cry out, "Why did you ask him to go to reconnoitre? If he withheld any information, wouldn't we be in danger when we got to the second floor?"
George replied with a blank face, "Libya, if your mental strength can catch up with half of the Dakota, you will be the one to reconnoitre." β
Libya was choked at once, his mental power had always been a shortcoming, a little weaker than the average necromancer of the Nike Remones family, and it was for this reason that he chose the bone specialization.
Darko knew that George was for his good, but he was still a little hesitant, but Kevin pushed Darko in the back, "Go ahead, only you are the most suitable here." β
The patriarch Romano was just noncommittal with a nonchalant expression, and the rest of the Nike Remones family didn't say anything more when they saw this. Phyllis jumped next to Darko and whispered to him, "Don't lose to that Shirley, or I won't spare you." β
Phyllis had spoken, and Darko had no choice but to step forward.
"You're Darko, and I've seen you at auction. It's a pity that the gray mirror was snatched by you, if I knew that entering the death relics was a random teleportation, I would definitely grab that glyph. Nonan walked over with a smile and introduced to Darko, "The visual sharing of my spell can last for seven minutes, and during that time you can see the next layer from the perspective of abomination. β
Darko was secretly shocked when he heard this, and he had used it once in the past, it was the magic scroll provided by Vitj, and that scroll was obviously already a fine product, and it only lasted for five minutes. Nonan could last seven minutes, and if he could have such a deep level of attainment in one auxiliary magic, it was inevitable that other magic would not be bad.
The fact that Nonan did not join the Church of Light does not mean that his light talent is not strong, in fact, he is a rare genius of the Lopez family. If you don't join the Church of Light, you won't have the blessing of divine power in light magic, and you need to put in more effort yourself. Everyone has to make many choices on their own life path, and Noonan's choice is obviously a more difficult one, as an untrustworthy person who gradually becomes stronger by his own efforts.
Once both Darko and Shirley were ready, they each established a visual connection with Abomination under Nonan's spell. Darko suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and the virtual images of the scenes were all mixed into his eyes, and these images were still animated, turning with the turn of each pair of eyes of hatred. The sheer amount of information made Darko feel a tingling in his scalp, but he quickly relied on his strong mental power to stabilize and began to break down the information from his different eyes. It took a long time for Darko to distinguish the images coming from the different eyes, but it was still very difficult, so he had to close his eyes and concentrate on the forty or so visuals of abhorrence.
Shirley on the side was even more unbearable, with a painful expression on her face, and a nosebleed running down her left nostril.
"Shirley, are you alright?" asked Nonan worriedly.
The girl shook her head with difficulty, and said word by word, "I'm fine, let's stop hate." β
George stepped forward and said to the abomination, "After going down, the main thing is to explore the terrain, if you encounter danger, you can test it, and if you can't beat it, you can run." β
Of course, Abomination does not understand the lingua franca of Amesia, but George, as its master, speaks directly to Abomination in the form of commands, so that it can understand directly. Abomination let out a low growl, not knowing whether to show understanding or impatience, and jumped into the teleportation tunnel.
Darko felt that there were patches of chaotic brilliance in his eyes, and they didn't go away for a long time. The spatial jitter of random teleportation would not have lasted that long, but visual sharing has increased the persistence of this neural illusion, making it take a while for the shared party to see the situation again. The four magic pets sent in by the Lopez family earlier had been killed in the delay at this stage, so they couldn't even send back a little bit of the second-layer picture.
When the blurry colors were restored to clear images, Daktronics first felt a sudden decrease in mental pressure, because the number of visual images was reduced from more than 40 to more than 20. Darko immediately saw the reason in the rest of the picture, half of the body of the abomination had been broken!
The eyes of abomination were pointed irregularly in all directions, not limited by the head, so that everything could be seen at first, and in front of it stood a giant with a purple-gold body. Abomination was five meters tall due to the height of the corridor on the first floor, but the top of its head was only up to the giant's knees!
"What a big giant, it wounded the abomination, run!" Since the visual screen was cut in half, the pressure on Shirley's side was also reduced a lot, and she immediately began to report information.
"It's an alchemy puppet! a purple-gold humanoid alchemy puppet! The proportions are not much different from that of a normal person, and its knees are as tall as the head of the abomination. Darko couldn't help but scream, but the information he reported was much more useful than Shirley's.
George and the others glanced at each other, and they all showed shocked expressions. Arroyo groaned and said, "Based on the ratio of knee height to two-sevenths of height, the height of the entire alchemy golem is about 17.5 meters. β
Everyone was amazed by the tall puppet, and Kevin and Agani exclaimed at the same time, "17.5 meters!"
The others all looked at the two of them in confusion, wondering why they reacted so much. The two glanced at each other, and Kevin explained, "This data is an allusion in the history of alchemy, and the height of the humanoid puppet can only reach this height at most, otherwise it will collapse." β
The others still didn't know, so Agani said in detail, "Long before the magic revolution, there was a very skilled puppeteer, and in order to make himself stronger, he asked an alchemy master to help him build a humanoid alchemy puppet 20 times larger than the normal proportion. With his deep pockets and years of waiting, he was able to achieve this goal, and the height of the puppet reached 35 meters. When experimenting with the alchemy puppet, the puppet broke through the upper limit of the plane's power with just one punch and punched out a large spatial rift. However, before the puppeteer could be pleased, the puppet began to disintegrate from the arm and gradually spread throughout the body, and the strongest puppet in history that cost tens of thousands of gold coins to build actually shattered into a pile of magical metal dust after only one punch. β
Listening to Agani's narration, Phyllis vaguely touched the key point and asked guessingly, "Is it because it's too big?"
"That's right, with the same construction, the size of the person can remain stable. But when it is magnified 20 times in equal proportions, it becomes so fragile that even its own force can destroy itself. Kevin continued, "Later, many alchemists were exploring the limits of giant alchemy puppets, especially in the later stage of the Demon Revolution, when a large number of famous alchemy masters came to the fore. Some of the alchemy puppets they designed to mimic arthropods and reptiles also exceeded 35 meters by virtue of their structural stability. However, due to the habitual aspect of the puppeteer, the human puppeteer can only exert his strongest combat power when manipulating the humanoid puppet. After a lot of research, the maximum stable size that the humanoid structure can achieve is ten times the normal proportion, which is about 18 meters. β
Kevin and Agani's explanations made everyone's faces change dramatically, and they all felt the difficulty of the second level, and some of them had begun to retreat. While they spoke, a new change occurred on the second floor of the abomination.
Abomination was crippled by the alchemy golem's attacks, but Abomination was anything but good, and it wasn't intimidated by the sheer size of its enemies. The crippled half of the abomination's body suddenly surged violently, growing like a mass of plasticine, and then his right fist suddenly grew out of his body, and a thick amount of slime hung on it. Then it leapt to its feet and slammed its fist into the knee of the giant alchemy golem.
The giant alchemy golem didn't move, and it lifted that leg up, and slammed its knee into the abomination, knocking it far away. Abomination drew a low, flat parabola, but slowed down sharply in the middle of the wall, turning the end of the parabola into a near-free-falling arc.
Shirley continued to scream, "Kicked off!
"The giant alchemy puppet is agile in its movements, quick in response, and good in combat, and even knees. It doesn't affect agility due to its size, and it doesn't seem to be able to dodge at close range. Darko was extremely shocked in his heart, he knew the most about the abomination of the attack, and he couldn't even break through the defense of the giant alchemy puppet, not to mention the other warriors present. But Darko still didn't relax his observation of those pictures, and saw the general structure of the second floor in the process of Abomination flying into the air, "The width of the passage on the second floor is about five meters, so when Abomination is kicked away, it rubs against the wall next to it, and the wall is connected to the roof of the temple above, and there is no gap." β
"What about height?" Wendy asked with concern.
"The height is twenty meters, and the giant alchemy puppet can touch the top with its hand, and it seems that it can't fly. β
"Are there any corpses of demon pets that were sent in before?" asked Nonan as well.
"I didn't find your pets, maybe this level is also a random teleportation. β
"Isn't there any danger other than the alchemy golem?" asked Tassa, who was also concerned about the others.
"I haven't seen ...... yet"
Shirley suddenly shouted again, "There's a giant alchemy puppet over here, too!
Furious, Abomination carried out George's orders, and after landing on the ground, he began to move in the other direction, but there was also an identical giant alchemy golem in the other direction. It happened to be a crossroads, and Abomination shifted its bloated body to the right side of the passage, and by this time the giant alchemy golem behind it had also caught up, and it was moving in such a passage without being affected by the walls on either side.
Darko said anxiously, "The speed of the giant alchemy puppet is not slow, and the abomination is about to be overtaken. β
Shirley also made a new discovery, "There is also a map of the intersections here! It's just a square grid structure, with a passage between each block, and an intersection between the four adjacent blocks. The entrance to the third floor is right in the center of the map!"
Dakko added, "That's a 100 by 100 grid, and there should be a hundred of these channels horizontally and vertically. β
George said solemnly, "The giant alchemy puppets are so strong in attack and defense, and their speed is not slow. However, the second floor is also guided by a map, and it seems that the only way to do this is to run all the way to the entrance to the third floor. β
As soon as Shirley finished saying that, she fell backwards violently, unconscious. Nonan hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Shirley, "The shared vision of abomination is still too loaded, and it's good that she can hold it up for so long." β
George also walked over and took a look, "It's a coma caused by soul fatigue, this situation is very slow to recover, and she is already doomed to not be able to participate in the next expedition." β
Everyone looked at Darko at the same time, and after Shirley fell, Darko was the only one who could reconnoiter the second-layer intelligence. Shirley is the leader of the generation of the Lopez family, and is known for her mental strength, but why did Darko, a little-known character, last so long? and still look at ease.
"Oh no! two giant alchemy golems have blocked the abomination in the center!" Darko was still dutifully reporting what he saw.
Abomination noticed this and punched the wall, and a shallow fist mark appeared on the wall.
"The walls are so hard that you can't brute force them. β
Abomination encounters the Giant Alchemy Golem, and Abomination slams his fist into the Giant Alchemy Golem's legs, but it is difficult to damage it in the slightest. Soon Abomination was flanked by two giant alchemy golems, and Darko felt that the number of visual images was rapidly decreasing. The abomination limb was shattered, and though it was soon able to grow again, it was shrinking in size. When reduced to a certain level, Abomination slammed into the gap between the legs of the giant alchemy golem in front of him. The giant alchemy golem had both legs against the walls on either side of the passage, but there was a meter-wide gap between the legs, which was enough to squeeze the current abomination through.
"There is a gap of about a meter between the legs of the giant alchemy golem, which can theoretically be drilled through, and now Abomination is ready to start trying. β
However, as soon as the abomination squeezed over, the attacks of the giant alchemy puppet's fist were still falling, only to see that the giant alchemy puppet began to retreat, and at the same time its head also turned 180 degrees, and the back of its body was the same as the front, it only needed to turn its head once to complete the turn.
The visuals continued to dwindle until they were all lost, and Darko knew that the Abomination had not been able to escape from a safe distance, and had been killed by the giant alchemy golem.
