Chapter 23: The Desert City (5)
In close-quarters combat, mages are often exposed to great danger - a single spell of their can kill hundreds or thousands of people, yet these people are no different from ordinary people when there is no time to unleash magic. But after becoming a *** master, this situation has changed, these beings who can instantly and powerfully magic can easily eliminate the warriors who are close to them, and unfortunately, except for the earl and a few people with supernormal racial talents, almost all of them who arrive here are *** masters.
The mage looked at Thaler with the same ferocious gaze, but he didn't speak, and before the hammer was about to fall, he quickly chanted a spell, and the next moment, a huge fireball slammed into the Count's chest, turning him into a humanoid torch in half a second.
This act became the trigger for the battle, and almost at the same time that Count Thaler was reduced to ashes, a 'spirit' spirit was torn in half by the barbarians around him.
The so-called barbarians are actually a variant of the human race, and in the great war between the gods countless years ago, the divine power killed many lives and mutated others, and the barbarians were the product of this mutation. Powerful, quick-witted, cruel and murderous, and even more resistant to magic than the Stone Figures, they would have been a nightmare for Said, if not for their impulsiveness and lack of intelligence, and for their considerable numbers.
The blood of the 'spirit' sprayed on the barbarian's head, face, and body, further 'arousing' his wild nature, and the monster, which was even taller than the sub-giant, roared loudly and rushed towards the other prey. But this time, he met his opponent, and the figure figure who was born with the ability to stealth disappeared without a trace, and the next moment, he appeared behind the barbarian, and the quenched short sword in his hand stabbed his opponent silently.
These Shadow Men are a hybrid of Stalker and Human, and unlike the Krens sisters, they have a thinner bloodline and therefore only have some of Stalker's abilities, but that makes them the most fearsome killers out there. The short sword pierced the brute's skin, but could not do him more damage, and the tall barbarian roared and turned around, trying to catch the creature that had hurt him, but his attack only hit the air, and the shadow man hid his form again, and then reappeared behind his opponent.
As they fought in a fierce battle, all those who entered the city launched an indiscriminate attack on treasure hunters except themselves, whether they were their companions or not.
"I'm going to kill you all!" The bloody battle made Sarent extremely excited, and this *** master did not hesitate to 'shoot' the most powerful magic in all directions, and the first to be attacked was Rhaegar standing beside him. College
Despite his frenzy, the geist seemed unprepared for such an attack from his companions, and the magic shield he hastily constructed lasted only a few seconds before collapsing, and then, the energy arrows sent by Sarente and the magic missiles flying from the other direction hit him at the same time, knocking his body dozens of meters away.
This is an unreasonable 'sex' killing, under the '' of the existence that deliberately created this trap, everyone is swayed by their own ***, they regard everything living as an opponent, and they kill everyone who is deemed to be likely to grab the treasure with them without the slightest mercy, whether the latter has lost the ability to fight or not.
Bursts of violent soul 'waves' spread in all directions, touching its tentacles scattered in every corner of the city, and the bloody and murderous aura made it completely 'agitated'. Compared with the souls of those who died on the road before, these souls with strong *** and strong strength are undoubtedly more satisfying to him, if the former is an appetizer, then now, it is enjoying a real feast.
The battle had come to an end, and the only one standing on the battlefield was the barbarian except for Salent—an unusually strong body that gave him a huge advantage in this kind of 'melee' in which there were no tactics to speak of. Despite the fact that his body was covered with deep or shallow scars, the barbarian did not mind this, his eyes flashed with bloodlust, and he stared at Salent, who was dozens of meters away from him, as if a wolf was watching its prey.
"***!" Sarente screamed, and the raindown of fireballs slammed down on the barbarian's body, but the magic didn't work, and the barbarian still rushed at him like a bison, which made Sarente feel heartily angry. "Look at this again. He shouted, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the barbarian's head.
Still invalid. Despite the fact that his whole body had turned pitch black under the high-voltage electricity, and white smoke was even rising in some places, the barbarian continued to charge as if he did not feel pain, and now he was less than twenty meters away from Salente.
The opponent's approach finally made Sarent feel a little nervous, even in the frenzy, he did not forget that the most important thing for a mage in battle is to distance himself from his opponent, this *** division retreated quickly, while preparing for the next powerful magic, trying to knock the opponent down before he could get closer. College
A dazzling aura appeared between the barbarians when they approached Sarent's approach less than ten meters in front of them, and at the critical moment, Salent finally took the lead to complete his magic, and the high-speed rotating aura rushed towards the barbarian like lightning, and the sharp edge easily cut through the opponent's skin and flesh, and then continued to go deeper, cutting the barbarian's internal organs.
The mortally battered barbarian roared wildly, rushing forward like a wounded bear, his hands even reaching the hem of Salent's coat, but the action eventually drained all his life force, and the brute fell forward to the ground, never to move again.
A powerful consciousness suddenly descended upon Salente, and before the exhausted mage could react, it had forced its way into his soul and instantly crushed the latter's resistance, then forcibly 'withdrew' it from his body.
It looked excitedly at the soul of Salent, who was struggling in terror in his grasp, full of pride in his hunt, and after absorbing nearly a thousand powerful souls—the souls of all those who had been slain had become his food—it was now time for him to enjoy the last good meal.
The smug being didn't notice that not far from the body of Salente, who had become an empty shell, a translucent figure was quietly rising from the body of Rhaegar who had been lying motionless there since the battle began.
It had finally made up its mind to eat the rather rare delicacy, the most palatable soul it had tasted in a thousand years, and there was no doubt that the human with the richest emotions was the most palatable compared to the creatures of other dimensions, and if it allowed, it would rather give up a hundred souls from other dimensions in exchange for a mortal soul. But it knew very well that if it was going to attract the attention of the demigods who stayed in the mortal world, it would be best to leave as soon as possible after this hunt and then come back at least a few thousand years later - caution and caution were the main reasons why it had traveled so many spaces and destroyed so many souls and remained unknown.
With a little stinginess, like a beggar preparing to eat his last piece of food, the tentacles of the 'spirit' that it emitted dragged the soul that had fallen into fear, no longer had the slightest reason to speak of, and was completely unrebellious, towards the sea of its own soul.
A black 'hole' appeared silently in the air, like a greedy mouth, and Salent's soul was quickly thrown into the black 'hole' under the pull of the invisible force, and almost at the same moment, another translucent shadow rushed into it at lightning speed.
As it chewed its food, it looked at the uninvited guest in front of it with a little surprise, and its heart was more curious than shocked and angry—for the first time in endless years, someone dared to take the initiative to throw themselves into its soul.
The next moment, however, that curiosity turned to fear, and after the other party had removed the camouflage it had used to disguise the soul waves, it finally recognized the true identity of the intruder.
"This can't be!" it cried out in a panic, "you can't be him, he's already destroyed." "This being, with Rhaegar's soul fragments as the core, fused with countless intelligent beings, was completely in a state of panic, and it desperately unleashed the power of the sea of souls, and the storm of 'waves' after 'waves' continued to attack Rhaeggar.
Like the other soul fragments' dying throes, its attacks were ineffective, and all the storm disappeared around Rhaegar's body, the geist floating silently in the other's soul space, looking at the latter with a look of pity.
"Stop struggling uselessly," he said softly, "You come from me, and you should return to me, there is no difference between you and me." A raging black 'color' flame erupted from outside his body, and at the same time, the consciousness of the being opposite him began to move rapidly towards him, dragged by an unseen, completely irresistible force.
"You don't want to get what you want!" it roared, and the cowardice and will to survive in its heart completely turned into bitter hatred for the other party. At this moment, it completely gave up resistance and let the other party drag itself, but before it was devoured, it launched the most fierce attack with all its remaining strength.
The flat and smooth ground of the city in the sky suddenly trembled like 'waves' and 'waves', and the bottomless cracks opened like the mouths of demons from the bottomless abyss, and the corpses of those dead and powerful were swallowed up by these cracks - although they appeared in the mortal sky, the foundation of the city was still in the space of origin, and all the devoured corpses would be buried under the earth of that space forever. Almost at the same time, all the houses disintegrated, and the materials that made up the buildings flew into the air, where they quickly gathered together to form a tall mountain in a matter of seconds, and the next moment the mountain slammed downward, and the whole city was covered by it.
The heavy mountain peaks slammed into the ground, and the ground of the city, which was originally full of cracks, suddenly fell apart under this heavy blow, and the city in the air turned into countless fragments, and the collapse of the city connecting different spaces made the space barrier also shatter, just in an instant, the terrible space storm swept over an area of thousands of kilometers.
This is its final blow, at the same time as the city collapses, its soul that has lost its body is followed by *** in the space storm, the energy flow formed by the space shattering ruthlessly cuts the huge soul, turning it into smash, but it is completely unaware of this - at the moment of the space storm, the most core part of its soul has been swallowed by Rhaegar.
A spatial storm sharper than a blade surged towards Rhaegar from all directions, and the geist didn't care about that, and under the protection of the black 'color' judgment divine fire, he easily broke out of the storm-shrouded area.
"Hull. He called the name of his most loyal servant, and with a wave of space, the snow ape appeared beside him, holding a body in his hand, which was Rhaegar's 'flesh' body.
"Well done. Rhaegar smiled as she returned to her 'flesh' body, and at the same time 'touched' the soft 'fur' skin of the snow ape.
Long before the city appeared, Rhaegar had already anticipated the possible identity of the other party. In the face of this existence with the city as its body and a powerful 'spirit' divine power, the only way to enter the interior of the city and paralyze the opponent and then attack it is the most effective way, and attacking from the outside is only a waste of strength. However, there is a problem: when he is inside the opponent's body, his 'flesh' body will be completely under the control of the opponent, and under the pressure of an entire city, his 'flesh' body, which has not yet returned to its former strength and is likely to temporarily lose its soul, will face great danger, and at this time, Herna's ability to travel through space will play a huge role. For this step, shortly after entering the desert, the snow ape, disguised as an orc, was "killed" in a battle.
"Alright, my dear Hull," Rhaegar stretched his body, "now, let's go home. ”
