Chapter Ninety-Six: The End of Pseudo-Time
I led the team into the gates of the Cave of Time, wondering why there were no dragonman guards guarding the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Only a deep, deep voice was heard from afar.
"Intruders, you dare to step through the gates of the Cave of Time!"
I looked around and found myself in a different tubular space, surrounded by golden distorted light, with no source of sound in sight.
"Nitya, this seems to be a trap." Yun Xiaohan touched the dagger on his waist and made a defensive posture.
At this moment, a strong golden light shone directly in front of everyone.
The dazzling bright light made me unable to open my eyes, and I only felt that I could not move suddenly.
Looking back at us, the light turned into a large golden net, trapping us all in it.
In an instant, the sky turned dark blue, and the blue stardust in the sky dragged the slender comet's tail and fell to the ground, and I and everyone in the six-person team were all suspended in the air by the golden net.
Just as I was about to struggle, Severn yelled at me, "Nitya, don't move!" ”
In the time tunnel, a transparent phantom in the form of a bronze dragon of Nozdorm walked over and spewed golden smoke at us.
Golden, gilded dust fell on us.
I turned my head stiffly in the golden net, and saw that the crowd immediately wanted to be coated with a layer of gold leaf, and remained motionless like the apparitions of bronze statues.
There was chaos in my brain, and a huge pain hit my body as if my soul had been extracted.
When I opened my eyes again, we were already standing on a piece of quicksand, and a huge hourglass was in front of us, and the fine sand in the hourglass was slowly leaking downward.
A dry wind blew, and I looked around with wide eyes, how could this desert look so much like a copy of what it had once been—the end of time?
What surprised me even more was that everyone had no character entities, they were all in a soul state, and only the transparent phantom outline could be seen.
I habitually observed the configuration of our squad.
Two Stalkers, Two Hunters, and a Mage.
Without a tank, I'm barely a wet nurse.
At this moment, the golden phantom of Nozdorm descended from the sky and appeared in front of everyone.
The bronze dragon stared at us with eyes as big as golden copper bells, looking at us vigilantly, looking like a bad comer.
It shook off its large, thick tail and spat out a large mouthful of dust at us.
"Be careful!" Severn pulled me along, and the two of us rolled several laps in the sand to dodge.
The fine sand in the puff of dust brushed against my arms and the side of my face, and several thin wounds immediately appeared on my body, oozing red blood.
I don't have time to think about why Nozdorm didn't show up, but his apparition appeared, and brought us here, all this nonsense.
I just want to quickly defeat the boss in front of me and leave this place.
Sai Wen and Yun Xiaohan glanced at each other, and almost at the same time, the two of them pulled out the daggers at their waists one after another.
"Yun Xiaohan, my left, you right." Severn let go of his grip on me and walked calmly forward.
Foolish Xiaoxiao and Deng Wenyue whistled together and summoned their pets, and Cheerilee also raised his staff and summoned the water elemental, and everyone looked ready to go.
I took a deep breath and stretched out my hand, green light coming out of my palm, and I pre-read several continuous spells and cast them on Saiwen and Yun Xiaohan, who were rushing in front.
I saw that the dragon phantom quickly turned around, it twisted the dragon's body, stepped on the giant palm, and rushed in our direction.
Saiwen and Yun Xiaohan both leaned over at the same time, jumped high, and landed firmly on the dragon's two front feet.
The dagger stabbed into the dragon's scales, and the bronze dragon's attention was also drawn to the two stalkers at his feet, and the phantom of Nozdorm lowered his head and lifted his foot, and stomped down again.
The bronze dragon's giant palm sank into the quicksand, raising a puff of dust, and Saiwen dodged, and the place where he was standing immediately fell into a large pit.
"Be careful!" I shouted, and the desert heat and dryness immediately made my throat ache.
"Lokanah!"
"Little Flower!"
Deng Wenyue and Foolish Smile placed the arrows on the bowstring and directed the baby to attack the dragon's hind feet.
I looked ahead at Severn as he unleashed his cloak and deftly dodged the damage caused by the Nozdorm Phantom, battling it in the quicksand.
The two stalkers worked together, one left and one right, attacking Nozdorm's body.
Countless magical bows and arrows shot at the dragon, and the two babies frantically bit at the dragon.
Cheerilee's water element also erupts with water, attacking phantoms, ice arrows, ice spears, and increasing casting speeds, Cheerilee dodges the dragontail's attacks with a flash, and copies many phantoms to fight for him.
I finally saw the dance of shadows in Yun Xiaohan's mouth, Saiwen's movements became faster and faster, his figure was like a rainbow, and finally I could only see a shadow similar to a thin mosaic, and the blade of the dagger emanated from his hand like a black feather, and his posture was beautiful and admirable.
It's more exciting than the countless battle scenes I've seen in the game, the special effects are more realistic, and when I'm there, I'm unusually calm, not only do I run well, I didn't get hurt by Nozdorm in the slightest, but I also thought of something very important.
The giant hourglass of time behind him.
The reset switch of the End of Time quest is an hourglass, isn't it......
I gazed suspiciously at the sand slowly falling from the hourglass of time, and retreated as I cast a rejuvenation spell on everyone in the squad.
Seeing my unusual behavior, Severn put away his cloak, took two steps back, and shouted at me, "Nydia, what are you doing?!" ”
I shook my head at him and motioned with my eyes to him not to worry.
Sure enough, when I retreated to the hourglass, I saw a golden bead in the center.
The bead glowed beautifully in the scorching desert sun.
For some reason, as I got close to the hourglass, a dangerous thought jumped from my heart to my throat.
But as if by the gods, I actually stretched out my right hand, covering the golden bead, and tried to twist the switch.
The hot heat spread from the skin of my palm to my entire body, and then I didn't even have time to cry out for help from my throat when I was directly inhaled by the twisted hourglass.
The heavens and the earth turned golden, and the sand covered me from head to toe.
I was blocked by sand, and I only felt tightness in my chest and shortness of breath, and I couldn't even breathe.
"Nitya!" Severn's exclamation became as distant as coming from the deep valley.
I looked down and felt that the whole world had turned into a desert, and I couldn't see Severn clearly, nor the five team members I had brought with me.
It's dark.
I was suffocated at the last second with a sad thought of how I had the ambition to lead them to the Cave of Time, delighted to think I would be able to get the Blue Dragon Staff, only to be deceived by the old fox of Nozdorm.
Although this copy is like the end of time, it is not, and while Nozdorm slapped me in the face, he told me that everything in this world cannot be judged by common sense and experience, but by intuition.
Sure enough, I'm still too young.
