Chapter 18: The Dark Swamp

The powerful heavy stick, with a tremor sound that broke through the air, smashed down from above. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soul-containing mechanical figure didn't show the emotion called "fear", or before it had time to be frightened, the black cylindrical object suddenly emitted a great suction, like a huge magnet firmly sticking to its metal body. Yiyi immediately felt countless heat energy flowing out of the rod's body, as if she was in a huge furnace, constantly refining.

After the Death Knight was shattered by the angel's light, the rod fell to the ground. The man, who seemed to have become part of the stick, became a fluid paste, clinging to it, but his consciousness remained awake.

"Oripas, where have you been these days?"

The consciousness of the machine man was thinking about his physical condition, ignoring a low voice coming from the stick.

"Oripas, why don't you answer?" The voice began to grow irritable, "Hmm...... You've also lost your life, and you're left with only your soul? ”

"Ah, that's right, although I'm a machine person, I also have a soul." Yiyi finally realized that the voice was communicating directly to herself, so she also replied with her consciousness.

"Machine, what is it?" The voice seemed to be talking to itself, "Oripas, you look like the undead, but you don't rely solely on the power of darkness, as long as it's magical energy, it seems to be your motivation. ”

"What are you calling me? I'm Yiyi. ”

"You're Yiyi," the voice paused, "you're my shaman, with the soul imprint I gave you, who transformed you into this form, is there a guy called the god of the machine?" ”

"The God of the Machine...... There seems to be no such god. ”

"So, when you became in this form, were you forced to give some kind of rule?"

"Ah, I remember that there is a law of three people: do not harm the master, do not disobey the master's orders, and do not harm yourself without reason."

"Bastard, you dare to rob my priest, this is an insult to the god of war, Miktor!" The voice suddenly showed great anger, "Oripas, you brought that so-called 'master' here, and I will help you kill him and let you regain your freedom." ”

"Judging from the logic of the command of the three laws, it is impossible for me to do what you do."

“…… Forget it, let's talk about it when I come back from the totem. The voice suddenly became anxious, "Oripas, the current situation is very serious, my death knight Clark has been wiped out by angels, if I fall into their hands, I will definitely be taken to the god of light, permanently sealed or even destroyed." ”

"Do you want me to fight the angels, I can't fight so many birdmen."

"No, you're a shaman, you don't need to go into battle directly, just use some of my divine powers." The voice calling himself "Mickett" said, "The real battle with the angels still depends on Clark, although I can resurrect the death knight, but it can't deal with too many angels, so I first need to strengthen the dark realm here, so that the combat power of the undead creatures will be greatly improved." ”

"So what do I do?"

"Deep underground, there's a huge swamp with a foul and foul stench, radiating an endless stream of dark energy to the surface. I want you to preside over a ritual where the artifact and I will work together to amplify the power of darkness, which can create a dark realm of about ten times the strength, and after resurrecting the Death Knight, it will be able to fight the angels. ”

"Lord Mickett, those angels have flown down and carried us away."

"Oh, now the weight of the totem pole is a little lighter, only 13,500 catties. I'll teach you a mantra, first increase it a hundred times the weight, buy some time, and then you start the ritual quickly. ”

The stick, which suddenly became longer and thicker, was suddenly extremely heavy, and the two angels who carried the luck were crushed off their hands, and saw the giant pillar fall to the ground again, splashing a large cloud of dust.

"Captain, it's suddenly getting heavier!"

"This evil weapon can actually change its weight on its own, is it the legendary Heaven Turning Seal?" The angel of grace stared at the pillar, "It seems that we must seal it up first, lest it change any strange things." ”

"Captain, this stick is not a living thing, no matter how magical it is, it will not change on its own." The wise angel said his opinion, "Maybe someone is playing tricks in the dark? ”

"Well, the dragon lich and the death knight have been destroyed, and the machine man has turned into iron juice," the Majestic Angel didn't look at the mushy metal too much, and his gaze swept everywhere, "There should be another mage, where are you hiding?" ”

"Praise be to God, under your all-seeing truth, all illusions will return to reality, and all illusions will be restored to their essence!" The angels chanted the Detection Divine Technique in unison, and the faint golden light condensed into an ever-expanding circle of light, dispersing in all directions layer by layer.

When the golden aperture enveloped a large area, a ripple suddenly appeared in one place, and the fluctuating image was a human figure.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, you still found out." The gray-haired half-elf shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I can't think of my strongest illusion, but I still can't fool the eyes of angels." ”

"Mortal life, you are a very good mage, if there are only one or two angels here, maybe you will be deceived in the past." The Graceful Angel said with some appreciation, "But you have committed a blasphemous act before, and you have taken away a soul gathering weapon, which is an unforgivable sin. ”

"Originally, I wanted to sacrifice my life to save my life, but I didn't expect you to give it a chance." Lucy gripped a green metal cylinder, "So, let's give it a try and see whose world is in this world after the God War?" ”

This weapon had just been in the hands of the machine man, and it was very embarrassing to kill the dragon lich, and the angels were all in the air to witness it. Then in the chaos, the invisible Gray Demon Courtyard starter took the opportunity to pick it up again.

"These days, there are so many strange things made in the mortal world." Faced with the cylinder with obvious artificial traces, the god's subordinates did not have the slightest favor, and an angel first raised the flame sword and launched an attack on the head of the Gray Demon Courtyard.

A black lightsaber quickly popped out, and the abundant power of the water element met the angel's giant sword, and the two basic energies of opposite natures immediately violently vibrate, and the powerful recoil force caused both sides to take a few steps back.

The other angels' eyes widened, and they wondered. Although this is a legendary-level duel, the height of the angel is far better than that of ordinary people, almost the comparison between humans and dwarfs, and they originally had a great advantage in terms of strength, not to mention that the other party is just a mage, why is it only a tie now?

Lucy shook his aching wrist, after all, he was not a half-elemental creature, and after being hit by the force, it was even more difficult to recover from the bad state in his body. The black bracelet shone with a strange glow on his right wrist, and thanks to this artifact, his combat level was greatly improved.

However, hard fighting is not the best policy, and the benefits of the artifact are not just in hand-to-hand combat. The figure of the first leader of the Gray Demon Courtyard flickered, and immediately there were four more of the same self, exuding the same breath of life, carrying the same black lightsaber, and attacking the angel together.

"Despicable!" The angels' companions shouted angrily. The illusion created by this half-elf can only be cracked by detecting it with collective divine magic, and a single angel can't see it, and it is impossible for him to cast a spell in battle.

And for Lucy, creating illusions is the innate ability of the gray elf clan, not to mention the artifact enhancement spell effect, which is as easy as eating while fighting.

Four angels join the fray, each taking an illusion so that their companions don't lose sight of the other. Lucy smiled, and in the blink of an eye, five more illusions appeared, causing each angel in battle to fall into a one-on-two passive situation again.

A flapping of wings sounded, and the angels rose into the sky with a "bang" of their ability to fly, and then divided into two groups, one group locked the location of the illusionist with true knowledge detection, and the other group of angels gathered the power of the elements, ready to launch the powerful holy light again.

"Bastard, these guys are such a nuisance." Lucy finally realized that it was really a painful thing to be enemies of these legendary birdmen, although he could fly, but the indirect control of spell effects could not be as agile as angels. Heaven naturally doesn't work, and if you stay on the ground, you can only be beaten, but the best illusion will be seen through by the enemy, and there is nowhere to run, so it's really breathless.

"Captain, captain, there's something big down there!" Behind the high wall, in the mouth of a bottomless pit, an angel suddenly flew out, "The swamp underground, all of a sudden, boiled up, like boiling water. ”

"What, there's such a thing?" The Majestic Angel was immediately stunned.

"The whole stratum is collapsing downwards and falling into that swamp, and as a result, the mud is rising higher and higher, and I'm afraid it will soon rush to the surface."

In the eyes of the angels, the gray matter below suddenly became like a bowl of stirred batter, twisting high in the east and low in the west. As the surface of the earth twisted more and more, cracks appeared in some places, and a large amount of foul-smelling black mud quickly gushed out, and at the same time, the cracks became bigger and bigger. When some of the extended cracks were connected, the enclosed ground began to collapse in large areas.

It didn't take long for a plain to cease to exist, and the raging and tumbling viscous black pulp almost covered a radius of dozens of miles, and it was still "gurgling" and "gurgling" with bubbles. Only in the middle of the swamp, there was still a piece of field, a ruined mansion surrounded by three high walls, a pool of ruins of the mage tower, and a dozen or so miniature magical buildings, all of which were preserved.

What attracted the angel's attention the most was a tall black pillar, which stood upright in the middle of the island at some point.
