Chapter 400: Truth in the Unreal
A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and it didn't look like anything from a distance just now, until the mushroom cloud had completely spread out, and Barrett saw that the fried one was definitely not a small mushroom.
At the very least, it is a fusion weapon of more than tens of millions of tons.
To be honest, fission weapons can also achieve such an effect, but they require a very large yield.
The direction of the explosion is exactly the direction of the Majin Forest.
Fortunately, no matter how powerful it was, it was what happened in the illusion, and the three of them did not receive the slightest influence.
But it's a strange experience to see the devastating superweapon attack up close.
"With such a huge power, it should be against that woman, although I don't know why she is also chasing south, let's hurry up, maybe we can see something." The second shock wave has arrived, and although it is far less violent than the first, the nuclear contaminants contained in it are even more lethal.
However, even if they hurried and the fact that Kanias was not too far from the Southern Forest, it took them nearly two days to reach the Majin Forest.
As they expected, the entire forest had been blown up.
The powerful nuclear weapon left a crater thirty kilometers in diameter on the ground, and on the other side of the crater, the abyss was connected.
"No dust, isn't this the power of nuclear weapons??" I couldn't believe it at all, and the closer I got to the heart, the more terrifying Barrett felt.
Nuclear weapons are arguably the most lethal weapons of destruction, and although particle weapons have the best lethal effect, they are not very powerful in terms of destructive power alone.
But there is no radiation dust around this crater!
It's not an air explosion, since it's a ground explosion, there must be radioactive fallout.
What is the concept of thirty kilometers in diameter, Barrett stood on the slope of the blown up hill and looked down with a numb scalp.
It was so smooth that the entire slope was cut, and the soil in the pit was nowhere to be found.
Heading down the slope, Barrett finally found a clue.
At the bottom of the pit, there was a corpse.
The corpse was completely inhuman, and it was impossible to distinguish identity and gender.
"It stands to reason that there should be no bones left in such a powerful explosion, why is it just charred?" However, due to the problem of not being able to interfere, it can only be judged by appearance.
Hanyu soon found something out of the ordinary.
"Self-destructing?" She walked over to a piece of debris and crouched down, a silver-white shard of armor in front of her.
Looks like the armor has completely burst.
Not even a single large fragment, but a number of fragments of armor as fine as fingernails were found in the pit.
"Although I don't know what kind of material it is made of, I have to say that this armor is strong enough." It can basically be concluded that this person is the woman who slaughtered the city before.
For some unknown reason, she actually blew herself up.
Could it be because of the magical pollution in the abyss? Barrett didn't know what the so-called magical contamination was, at least they hadn't seen anything floating out of the abyss yet.
"From the outer forest, it looks like it's a hundred and ten kilometers away from the periphery." Ace could see that something was wrong.
That is, Kanias is too close to the Majin Forest.
In any case, these demons are still very lethal to humans, but why did Polonisa choose to build his capital in this place?
This is unreasonable, if something happens to the demons, Canias will not be able to avoid being attacked.
"It doesn't make sense to say that." Barrett stood up, looked in the direction of Cañas and nodded.
Then he turned his gaze in the direction of the abyss.
"Anyway, let's go in first, that kind of powerful explosion can't hurt us, so the so-called magic shouldn't have an effect on us." Barrett still thinks it's better to find Sassu first, there are too many suspicions in this woman.
"She is arguably the only thing we have in common with this place, and there is a very good chance that she will be the key." Hanyu agrees with him.
The abyss is actually a canyon, but this canyon is a little different, and its drop is very large.
I don't know if the front half was blown off, but from where they came up, it was a cliff-like place.
However, it is clear that various traces of the previous period can be found, including the iron hook used to hold the rope in place, and the foot hole that has been artificially carved for landing.
Perhaps because of the limited amount of time humans have been here, there is no way to carve a more elaborate stone staircase.
It's just that I didn't see any trace of so-called magic at all, not even a little bit of that dangerous and terrifying atmosphere.
If it weren't for the deep canyon that still gave people a sense of oppression, it would not be as good as the forest outside.
Now that the human race has already repaired the simple mountain road, the three of them can just move forward.
The canyon is getting deeper and wider.
The downward passage gradually became two-way.
"I'll go and have a look on the other side." Ace touched the mountain wall with his hand, perhaps because the back of the mountain wall here was solid, and they couldn't penetrate it like they could in the city.
"Watch out for their traps." Barrett felt a little uncomfortable, and the deeper he got deeper into the abyss, he found that the kind of nothingness they had been here was gradually starting to go wrong.
I still didn't feel any hunger or sleepiness, but the feeling of being restrained was getting heavier and heavier.
After descending to the bottom, he finally saw the so-called magic.
The rocky ground is not visible at the bottom of the valley, and a faint inky blue mist flows from the ground.
Hanyu carefully analyzed the fog on the ground.
"It's probably not something on us, it's a thing that has a distinct biological reaction." Hanyu found that her hands could finally touch the mist.
"Magic?" Unlike the magic that he understood to be close to energy, this black mist was constantly trying to burrow into the skin after it came into contact with the human body.
It's just that although Karma's body has left his body, he has still been transformed by Karma to a certain extent.
The layer of transformation tools underneath his skin was still there.
"This thing will actively invade people's bodies, no wonder people will be demonized because of it." Standing up, Barrett walked deeper into the valley.
Looks like Sasu should be somewhere here.
After walking about a few hundred meters, I heard the sound of a whistle in my ears.
Barrett looked up and saw that Ace was standing on a cliff in mid-air opposite, waving at them.
"This is the entrance, and the level below is the trap." Ace shouted.
It looks like this thing has a very high intrusion ability, and it actually uses this fog as a trap.
Just as he was about to climb up the mountain wall, Barrett looked at the other side of the mountain wall with some sense.
only to find a dark shadow standing on the opposite mountain wall peeping at this side.
Seeing him looking in his direction, the dark shadow immediately fled.
"Humans? Or is it the demon here? Barrett still remembers the image of the Majin in the mural, with his limbs swollen and deformed, or his whole person with a very disgusting change.
But the shadow just now was very thin, and it was not as good as ordinary humans.
Perception expands out, and this is the first time this ability has been used here.
Since he didn't know if there was anyone in the illusion who could detect his perception, he had been cautious about hiding this perception.
"There was something on the other side, but I lost it." Barrett said in a deep voice.
Ace immediately looked to the other side, but her detection methods were completely ineffective.
"No one was found, so be careful." Ace frowned as well, she trusted Barrett's judgment that something must be following them.
Climbing up the cliff, they headed for the cave in the mountain wall.
Walking into the cave, Barrett did not rush inside, but pulled Hanyu Ace to hide in the depression of the mountain wall.
"I always felt weird, everything here didn't have any interaction with us, but the guy clearly saw me." Barrett had confirmed that there were only three of them, so it must have been a reaction from one of them.
His voice was soft, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the cave.
"We might as well wait here and see if he catches himself."
"We can't make contact with anyone, not even the previous angels, not Meroka Sals, so this guy who can find us is very suspicious, and he may even be the key here."
With no weapons at hand, Barrett tried to construct the tools of the body's transformation.
But to be honest, his skills are so bad that it took him a while to get a dagger.
He handed the dagger to Hanyu, but almost stabbed the basket.
I saw that the dagger passed directly through Hanyu's hand and fell to the ground.
“…………… To be bad! He secretly screamed in his heart, forgetting that Hanyu and Ace were just phantoms of the soul, and their entities had long since been destroyed by the guy on the throne.
In desperation, with a hook of his foot, Barrett found that the dagger had disappeared straight through the ground!
“!!” Without any trace, the dagger simply disappeared.
"Penetrated?" Although the equipment made of tools is impeccable in terms of strength and sharpness, it is impossible to leave nothing behind.
"If Karma is ............" Barrett was a little upset, in that case, Karma could be used to track the whereabouts of the dagger.
It's a pity that he can't do this half-ass.
At that moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps at the entrance.
With a gesture of silence, he didn't bother looking for the dagger, but clung to the mountain wall.
It's a woman.
Very short, about fifteen or sixteen years old, he was watching the cave with alarm.
It was a quarter of an hour before she half-crouched on the ground to examine something.
Barrett had a bad feeling that he noticed that the woman seemed to be able to find some traces.
Just as he thought, the woman actually found their location directly, and followed her gaze towards the depression.
"Up!" Barrett knew that he couldn't hesitate, no matter how the other party found them, this was the last chance, and once she was allowed to escape, she would be more cautious next time.
Rushing out of the hideout, Barrett rushed towards the woman.
Hanyu and Ace also attacked from both sides, and unless she fled the door, she would definitely not be able to avoid the three of them.
As the distance got closer, Barrett realized that instead of running away, Barrett had drawn a sword from behind her back.
Completely different from the literal meaning of the sword, this sword has only one hilt at all.
With a swing of the hilt of her sword, a horizontal slash slashed at Barrett.
He couldn't even dodge............
The movement was not very fast, but there was no way to dodge at all, as if the invisible blade had already slashed at him before he could react.
The modified armor on his body was like paper, it was useless at all, and Barrett felt a chill behind him, and the whole person was cut into two pieces.
Blood poured out of his body, and Barrett felt a little salty in his throat.
Damn, why did you die here..................
As soon as he felt this feeling in his heart, he realized that he could not die.
Although the transformation tool failed to block the blade, it was immediately joined together and even directly repaired his wound.
"Damn, so awesome??" I've never tried to get injured before, but I didn't expect this tool to be so powerful.
Grabbing a step towards the woman's shoulder, Barrett's first thing to do was to stop her from swinging her sword.
It's just the same as before, even if he desperately pounced, he saw that the woman still slowly lifted the sword from the bottom up, and Barrett's two hands were cut off at the elbow.
A few drops of blood had just splashed out when that scene happened again.
The severed limb, which had been slightly misaligned, was joined together in everything as if it was wrapped in something, and it was repaired again.
The girl obviously didn't expect that her sword had already used some strange technique, no longer a straight and straight slash, but with the effect of knocking away.
But before the arm could fly out, it was repaired again.
Apparently the girl on the other side was a little flustered, she stepped back, and then swept out with a sword, heading straight for Barrett's neck.
His throat was slightly cold, and Barrett knew that he had been stabbed again.
Exactly the same cut, this sword is sharp and scary.
But the sharper it is, the more meaningless it is, and the moment the wound appears, it is repaired.
Even the repaired neck caught the invisible blade of the sword, and a handful of blood flowers soared again.
Hanyu didn't pounce on her until this time, and she was a little anxious to see Barrett's non-stop blood.
Unfortunately, just like before, her arm passed directly through the woman.
Barrett's bloody neck seemed to have been hurt by her, and he hit the woman headbutt.
At this distance, you can't use your slash, right??
With a triumphant smile on his face, Barrett found that the opponent's sword seemed to have no length at all, and poked it directly into his chest with the hilt.
There was a slight pain, and at this moment, the white light on his chest flickered, and the fluctuations expanded outward.
I saw that the woman was thrown out directly and hit the mountain wall far away.
"Angel's Bracelet!" Barrett, of course, knew what saved him.
It's just that unlike the previous corpse, this woman was not harmed, and she stood up as soon as she turned over.
"............" only this time, she didn't know what to do.
Slashing at the other person was of no use, and there seemed to be something on his chest that could restrain her weapon.
"You .........," the woman looked at him and frowned.
Barrett continued to approach her with a blank expression.
"It turns out that playing games with cheats is this feeling, go ahead and see if you get tired first, or if I die first." Barrett's mouth was fierce, and he slowly leaned towards the woman.
Why is it slow, although it won't die if it's hacked, but it hurts!
