Chapter 310: Black Sun and Black Dragon
My name is Akatosh,
...... Kuafu shoots the sun?
- 4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 24th, 00:00 -
Twilight, Eltánvod Cathedral.
This place, built by the dwarves to worship the "god of steam", is not as spacious and clear as the ordinary temple of the Holy Spirit.
Perhaps in order to show off their skills to the "god of steam", the dwarves used the church as a work of art - and eventually built into a well-defended bunker, which visitors to the church would only find a little strange when there was no war, but if it was used as a defensive stronghold in the middle of the fight, then it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was easy to evacuate.
Due to the closure of the staircase, Galeb and the twenty-four heavily armored snow elves led by him encountered the elite guard regiment, the unusually large Zerus mother worm, and the adjuster who had mutated more seriously due to the transformation failure, although with the support of the paladin, the heavy snow elves had not yet been attritional, but most of the snow elves' dwarf armor had been tattered, and their steps had begun to stagger, and if they encountered a strong enemy next, I am afraid it would be difficult to have the strength to fight.
"Ah, Galeb, your return is not a surprise to me," on the top floor of the cathedral, a "normal" snow elf dressed in armor and a style very similar to that of a paladin stood, and another old human mage stood beside him, from their vantage point it was condescending to see the mechanical army that was besieging the city on all sides, and had even entered the city, although the city had not yet been occupied, it was only a matter of time before it was currently seen.
"It seems that you are not content to control the machinery and hide in the shadows with the fools who don't accept 'adjustments'." Archbishop Vershuo turned his face to look at the dozens of snow elves, and said with a blank expression: "I should have killed all these deformed 'compatriots' a long time ago. ”
"Gah! Ho-" The scarred Heavy Snow Elves let out a menacing roar.
"I was just confused by your rhetoric of 'establishing the kingdom of the Snow Elves' and 'restoring the glory of the past'." As soon as Galebu's arm was raised, the broken gold spike sword at his waist turned and fell into his hand: "If your 'kingdom' and 'glory' are based on the premise of completely controlling them with [Blood Thistle] - it is up to me to give them 'end'!" ”
"That's a good point, but where do you get your confidence? Is it the 'tweaking material' that comes to your door? Vershuo tilted his head slightly: "Master Sinderion." ”
"Huh." The human elder mage slammed his staff to the ground, and with a dull crashing sound, a small black magic circle appeared around each mutated snow elf, trapping the snow elves firmly in it, and at the same time, a large amount of black ash peeked out of their bodies and converged towards the "black sun" overhead.
"Without the thistle to suppress the pain, they will probably go crazy before the ritual is over, and if they want to stop me, it's only now," Virch took off the sword and shield combination behind his back and turned to Gelleb, "Let me see if you improve, my stupid brother." ”
"As you wish—" Galeb took out the phantom and rushed straight towards Verthus, "-brother." ”
Ding-bang!
——00:00——
The battle near the city gates has heated up.
At the beginning, it was just Ella and other adventurers who sneaked through the tunnels, captured the city gate and covered the mechanical army to enter the city, and the controlled snow elves and other adventurers counterattacked, and until now, due to the successive adventurers being awakened and recovering their strength, the situation has reversed, and it has become a battle in which the Twilight side tries to retreat to the cathedral, and the attackers occupy the advantageous terrain to prevent them from escaping.
Although the paladin had barely moved since he broke through, no one thought that he would be defeated before he could see the "archbishop", so blocking the church's call for help so that he would not be attacked became the main task of the besieging side.
"Ella, I think 'Black Sun' is a bit weird." Jane Rassay said to the huntress who was aiming her bow and arrow at the commander's roll call as she used her two quivers to replace them for the time being.
"Where?" Ella took the time to look up, and the black core, fireball, and restraint looked no different from before - no, at this distance, the black core should not be visible at all.
"That 'sun' has weakened its firepower?" Lydia, who was next to Septin to implicitly block the arrow, interjected.
"I sense a strong magical reaction at the top of the cathedral, and it has something to do with the 'Black Sun', it should have something to do with it, maybe." Asked to avoid casualties as much as possible, the old mage uses ice spells that trap enemies well.
"Don't bother for now," Ella finally decided, "Fight as usual, but let's find some cover nearby, just in case that thing in the sky suddenly explodes." ”
As for the army of dwarven machines, how could they be afraid of the heat?
When Ella re-opened her bow and aim, she shook her head and moved on to the next one when she found her target being kicked straight away by a passing dwarven centurion.
——00:00——
Hakong floated in an arc through the air as he reworked his plan.
According to the original plan, he disguised himself as a controlled adventurer and hid in the underground prison of the city, and when Arthur came to rescue them, he broke out, snatched the Elder Scrolls due to its huge size, and left because it was too large to fit in the package, but ...... He didn't come?
Next, due to the lack of manpower, all the adventurers in Hakong's prison were transferred to defend near the city gate, and as a result, whether it was a feint attack by a large army or a sneak attack into the city, none of them passed through the city gate where he was, and the commander here was relieved, but Hakong, who had found nothing again, simply confused a group of soldiers to go to support the battle.
He had just joined up with the guards on the side of the broken door, and before he could make any plans, he was kicked straight away by a giant centurion passing by - this was a bit of bad luck.
Hakong began to think about whether to directly transform and attack, after all, Arthur was not there, and the rest of the people had nothing to fear.
A smell of burnt paste came out, and when Hakong turned his head to look, he found that a large number of invisible "lines" extended outward from the "black sun". One of them was attached to him, stubbornly trying to drain the life force, but was scorched by the vampire's power.
Hakong snorted coldly and slapped away the discarded thread, but noticed that a few of the threads that had been going to find others turned their heads and pounced on him, and he couldn't help but be furious.
Dodging the "threads" again, Hakong landed on the ground and took the "Bow of Ali-Ai" with his backhand, his body swelling as he became thinner.
So, on a hillside not far outside of Twilight, a strange cyan giant with a longbow appeared and shouted, "Die, you impostor sun!" Then he opened his bow and shot at the "Black Sun".
Boom –
——00:00——
Outside Zacta, Arthur in the form of a red dragon was lying on his stomach lazily, and after he beat Duneville back to the soul stone mound, he was immersed in the understanding of the dragon's control for a while, so he did not change back to his original form for the time being.
Sophie was so pleased with this that she skillfully lifted one of Arthur's wings and crouched inside, exposing only her head and claws to play a game of cat and mouse with the captured vampire maharaja.
In this regard, Babas said that there was a lot of pressure, and the Zacta next to it was burned in pitch black and crumbling, and there were two dragons lying on his stomach, one of which was still teasing a "human" who was trying to escape, and if it was seen by unknown righteous people, he was afraid that he would be hit on the spot.
"Phew—" As it was almost midnight on the surface, Sophie, who had been accustomed to human routines for a while, began to feel sleepy, and she had barely yawned when Hearn turned into a swarm of bats and flew away from under her claws.
"Ah......h
Before Sophie could express her doubts, a blazing light suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire darkness, rushing out from the direction of the Twilight Zone.
——00:01——
The upper floors of the Eltánvod Chapel were completely swept away by the blast of energy, and Verthau and Galeb fell to the ground floor and cautiously confronted each other while looking out with their peripheral vision.
Except for a few who were lucky enough to avoid the direct attack of the mechanical guards, the entire dwarven mechanical army stopped functioning, and those who could not maintain their balance in their current posture were directly defeated.
As for those adventurers, those who are strong enough can still stand, but are obviously blind, and those who are weak or have not yet recovered their strength fall into a deep coma.
In the silence, the loud laughter from outside the city was very abrupt, and those on higher ground could see a huge vampire lord holding a bow in one hand and pointing in the direction of the black sun with the other laughing.
And it is clear that it was the cause of the incident. The "black sun" floating in the air no longer looked like a black core and a fireball, the flames were completely gone, and at this moment it looked like a spherical obsidian with magma gushing out at all.
Squeak - squeak - click!
In front of everyone's eyes, cracks began to appear on the obsidian, and the next moment it suddenly exploded.
Immediately after, a huge black dragon flew out of it, it looked scarred, and the wounds that kept spewing magma outward were fixed with black metal plates and willow nails, and the jaw seemed to be completely gone, replaced by an iron jaw made of that black metal, and even so, the mouth kept dripping magma outward.
"I am the Wings of Death, the Destroyer of Destiny, the Terminator of All Things! Unstoppable, unstoppable! I am - Cataclysm! The dragon roared condescendingly, "I am the beginning, I am the end!" I created all things, and all things will perish because of me! I'm Akatosh, too—Alduin! 】”
