Chapter Ninety-Four: Armor

Looking at the entrance of the black hole that suddenly appeared, the three of them were a little quiet for a while.

The appearance of the secret passage means wealth or secret treasure in most adventure stories, but in this situation it seems a little strange, why did the ascetics who built this monastery build such a secret passage? Does this have anything to do with the previous scene?

"Would you like to go down and have a look?" But Maye wasn't nervous, and asked, looking at the crack in the wall.

Fang Yu shook his head, took out a clockwork goblin, tied another crystal to it, and tapped the crystal with his knuckles to make it glow. He pulled down the goggles, freed the winged silver elf and sent it flying down the alley.

Although the silver bee has a certain night vision, it is more detailed within the range of the illumination crystal, and the tunnel follows the stone steps downward, forming a zigzag back and forth, and soon, the clockwork fairy flies into a small room, and a closed stone door blocks in front of it.

Fang Plover moved his vision, looking around the small space to make sure that there were no other omissions, and then let the clockwork fairy fly back again.

"We'll have to go down and see," he replied, "and there's a door down there." ”

"Do you want me to give the first shot?" May asked.

"Let it come," Fang Plover controlled the dragon hunter to bend down into the passage, "beware of possible traps inside, Miss May, you are responsible for protecting our back path." ”

"Yes, Mr. Eddard."

Passing through the corridor, Fang Yuan's guess was proven, and when the three of them passed a corner, a round of powerful crossbows suddenly shot out from the hole in the ceiling, and they rushed towards them. Fortunately, the dragon hunters covered most of the space, and the crossbow bolts clanged into the metal shells, and only a few passed through the gaps between the dragon hunters' limbs, but they didn't threaten the people behind them, and at best they brushed against the stone walls.

But the designers of the secret passage seem to have left only one trap, or the other traps have aged and are no longer effective, and they have made it all the way to the bottom without encountering a second round of attacks. Fang Ou checked the situation of the dragon hunter, and several crossbow arrows were stuck in the breastplate, but it was not harmful.

Mei Yi lifted the lighting crystal, compared the height of the torch seat on the wall, and silently handed the crystal to Luo Yu, who then inserted it into it. The pale light of the crystal reflected the heavy and old stone door, and the knight lady stepped forward and pushed it, but the stone door did not move.

"There must be some way to open this door." She looked back.

Luo Yu thought for a moment, raised the elemental staff in his hand, and struck lightly on the ground, and the stone chamber shook slightly, like an invisible ripple spreading out in all directions.

He waited for a moment as he listened, then looked to the side, pointed in that direction and replied, "There's a gap behind the wall, Miss May." ”

"Is this an earth-based spell?" Fang Yu came from the dragon hunter and asked with some surprise.

Luo Yu nodded, he was good at water and ice spells, but that didn't mean that he couldn't spell other spells, just slightly inferior to the former.

When Maye looked in that direction, she noticed that a stone brick on the wall seemed to be slightly different from the others, but it was impossible to see in the dim light unless she looked closely. She stepped forward and pressed her hand lightly on it, and the stone bricks sinkled in response, and the stone door slowly opened back.

A choking smell of dust filled the stone room, Luo Yu coughed twice, and then whispered a spell to cast a wind-making spell, allowing the fresh air above to pour into the ground.

Mei looked at the stone door that was slowly moving away, and asked, "Was this secret passage built for the ascetics of Milera?" ”

Fang Yu had actually thought about this as well, but since he entered this secret passage, he had given up on this idea - the style and materials of the secret passage were obviously different from the monastery outside, but it was not known if it appeared in this place before or after.

He tended to be the latter, but after the disciples of Mirera left the place, which of the masters of this monastery built this secret passage? Is it the cellar that the robbers used to store their loot?

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Luo Hao what the bizarre fire that happened here thirty years ago was.

Thirty years ago, there was also a fire in another part of Tarun that reduced a city to white ground called Dorifin.

Open the communication crystal, but there is only a noise inside, it seems that there is a magic effect of blocking communication below, Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head and put the communication crystal back, this thing is too ineffective, no wonder the community said that this thing is just an ornament.

He sent a private message to Luo Hao through the community, this is a backup means of communication, as for when the other party will be able to reply to Fang Yu didn't know the bottom in his heart, he raised his head and looked, the stone door had slowly slid into one side of the wall, and there was no trace.

There isn't a lot of space behind the stone gate.

But the first thing Fang Yu saw was a sword light.

It was a rusty armor that stepped out of the darkness, like a surging black mist between the different parts of the armor, and it held its iron gauntlets aloft, and clenched a greatsword in both hands, slashing at the three people outside the stone gate.

But a shield stood in the way of the armor, and with a thud, the greatsword swept across the shield, and the shield recessed into the shield before breaking in two, and Maye took two steps back before stopping castration.

Miss Knight raised her head to look at the armor, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she was a little surprised by the strength of the other party, but she did not pause at all, while throwing away the broken knight's shield, and attacked again with a long sword in hand.

The rusty armor slashed through May's shield with a sword, making an indecipherable sound, and at the same time shook and retracted the greatsword, resetting its center of gravity, but at this moment Miss Knight had already attacked it - behind the rusty armor was also carrying an equally decayed magic furnace, shrouded in a thick black mist, and as May approached, the magic furnace behind it suddenly emitted a sharp beeping sound, like a sharp sound when it was overloaded.

Bright streaks of light lit up on the armor, centering on the magic furnace, spreading in all directions, and then a shield bounced off the rusty armor, a faint blue light enveloping May's blade, turning it to one side and staggering with the armor.

"Wizard Armor."

Fang Yu stared at the armor and whispered a reminder to May.

After the rise of alchemy, the development of Aitalia's armor gradually branched into two factions, one faction continued to increase the weight of the armor, using multiple layers of armor to increase the armor's defense, and then using the power of the magic guide device to increase the wearer's weight-bearing capacity, most of the Iron Guards, are surrounded by this faction.

The other faction, also known as dragon forging, fundamentally changed the way armor operates, and the alchemists of this faction have made the armor itself into a kind of magic equipment, which is the origin of magic armor.

Under the lighter weight, the magic armor can obtain the protection ability of fortress-type armor through magic enhancement, and it is also strong and flexible, but the disadvantage is that the consumption of magic armor is very large, and it is also extremely expensive, and it cannot be popularized at all.

And the demonic armor in front of him is a typical magic armor.

The rusty armor blocked May's attack, and took a slight step back, and a low approving voice came out of the thick black mist: "Not bad......"

This praise made Fang Yuan, Luo Yu, and even Mei Yi, who was in the middle of a battle, stunned, they were not too surprised when the armor appeared, in this kind of underground ruins, it is not uncommon for its original owner to leave an activated armor here, or a puppet structure to be installed here as a guard.

However, neither the activated armor nor the puppet construct are self-aware, and this dense black fog makes people feel like an undead creature.

Mei Yi was taken aback, retracted his sword in disbelief and looked at the other party, raised his head and asked, "Who are you, can you hear us?" ”

But Black Mist and Armor didn't answer, they only raised their swords and stood in front of them, standing in front of them in a standard posture, like a statue.

It's just that it seems to be motionless, but a discerning person can see at a glance that as long as Fang Yu and the others take a step forward, this tattered armor will immediately attack. The door-sized giant sword in its hand was no joke.

In the dim light, there was a moment of silence.

Fang Yu turned around and said to Luo Yu and Mei Yi, "Let's go together." ”

Maye hesitated, then nodded.

Fang Yu raised his right hand, and the dragon hunter behind him immediately strode forward, pressing the scabbard with one metal hand, and holding the blade with the other, only to see a snowy sword light flash in the darkness, and it had already slashed at the armor under Fang Yuan's control.

But the armor didn't move, and with a slight release of its greatsword, it blocked the blow that nearly doubled its attack with a splash of sparks.

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he had seen someone block the dragon hunter's Juhe slash head-on, and it was still in such an understated way - of course, if the other party could be called a 'human'.

But the armor did give the illusion that it was fighting against a human, and at least the magic-spawned activated armor or the alchemy-created constructed golems could not be as flexible as a human.

And that armor is much more flexible than the average person-

After blocking the dragon hunter's blow, it launched a rush almost immediately, and Fang Yu felt a lot of pressure under this attack, because the dragon hunter couldn't keep up with the other party's rhythm.

Seven pursuits in a row, all of them were like a storm, and each blow made the dragon hunter stagger, although he barely resisted it, but he was only struggling to support it.

But fortunately, the alchemist has never been a master of swordsmanship, Fang Yu pointed with his hand, and another faint blue light was projected on the side of the armor.

It was like an informational starlight pouring out of the void, pouring down like a blue waterfall, gradually forming the shape of a construct, and another dragon hunter gradually took shape. Alchemists never pay attention to swordsmanship, their philosophy is all about serving a purpose.

And the goal is to win, and it is only natural to fight more and less.

The ultimate pursued by the alchemists lies in the magic technique itself, and as for the combat, it is nothing more than incidental.

As soon as the dragon hunters appeared, they immediately attacked. But this moment made Fang Yu dumbfounded, only to see the rusty armor leaning forward slightly, holding the sword in both hands, and the next moment, a ball of flying silver petals bloomed out.

The magnificent petals slowly moved forward, and the dark and heavy long knife in the dragon hunter's hand slashed, turning into a splash of sparks, the blade of the giant sword seemed to be divided into many, blocking attacks from both sides at the same time, and the next moment it turned into one, and the heavy sword light reappeared as a giant sword held in the hand of the armor.

The armor shrouded in black fog forced back the two dragon hunters, and they stood in place, not even moving.

Fang Yu was taken aback, this was a sword technique.

It would have been nice if the opponent had a flexible construct controlled by a combat craftsman, but he had never heard of any sword skills that could be used by activating armor and constructing golems, and the magic technique could not construct such a complex technique.

That is the realm of the soul, the realm of man.

At this moment, the tattered armor turned around, raised his left hand, and grabbed an ice pick that shot at itβ€”when the ice pick hit the armor, countless ice edges scattered, and tiny ice crystals solidified on the armor and spread along the top. In a matter of moments, one of the armor's right arms was completely frozen under the ice.

Only then did Luo Yu put away the elemental staff and let out a gentle breath, this ice pick seemed simple, but it was a typical high-level spell. Breath of Tyraus, a spell named after the most powerful ice dragon in the history of Aitalia, has the ability to freeze everything.

But before the three of them could breathe a sigh of relief, the ice on the right arm of the armor suddenly crackled, and dense cracks gradually appeared on it, and the next moment it burst apart with a crisp sound, and fell to the ground with one of its arms.

The spell that had lost its target immediately subsided, sending the armplates, handguards, and shoulder armor of the armor to the ground, but the black mist surged from the gray stone floor, and flew back with the scattered parts, and in a moment it was combined with the rusty armor.

The previous spells were as if they had never existed.

"After dawn, there's nothing left."

Armor looked at the three of them silently and said in a deep voice.

Fang Yu couldn't understand the words at all, but the strength of this 'armor' was still beyond his imagination, Mei Yi hadn't launched an attack yet, and it would take time for Luo Yu to prepare other spells, so he could only rely on him to block the other party at the moment.

He immediately made a decision to summon two more dragon hunters, and Miss Tata and the Seven Seas Traveler were not in this place, which was already his limit.

But what made Fang Yu more and more shocked was that the four dragon hunters were just a tie with this armor, and this was just defense, and if they wanted to attack, they couldn't do it at all. In other words, this rusty armor, a 'man' suppressed him.

What exactly is this thing?

Fang Yu was slightly distracted, and actually let the armor grasp a gap, as if it knew that the young man standing far behind was the owner of these four structures, and threw the giant sword in his hand in the direction of Fang Yuan.

"Be careful!" Even Maye didn't have time to warn that the greatsword was in front of her.

But at that moment, the Dark Ritual Sacrifice took effect, as if a natural force pushed Fang Yuan's body, making him sideways to avoid the giant sword.

The greatsword slammed into the wall, and a layer of ash fell from the stone chamber, but the blow missed as if it was unexpected. In anticipation of this, the blow should kill the young man, and the four constructs should also be stopped, so that it can calmly retract its greatsword.

But I never expected that the other party would actually hang up, and the shining sea and the ancient blessings of the lizard clan are definitely things that most people in this world have never even heard of.

But the rusty armor was a little awkward, it could handle four constructs with a greatsword, but not with its bare hands. Not to mention that Luo Yu's spell has been prepared at this moment, and Miss Knight, who has not made a move, is finally ready.

I saw Luo Yu raise his elemental staff, and a piece of ice mist appeared out of thin air from the stone chamber, surrounding him from all directions. And Maye also took the halberd from behind him, and a golden light radiated from the magic furnace, which was a sign of the manifestation of the divine power, the light aether.

The light traveled up her hands, gradually converging towards the tip of the halberd's spear.

And the black mist in the armor 'quietly' watched this scene, it seemed to understand that it had made a fatal mistake, but it did not fight the trapped beast, only put down its hands, stood in place and gave up resistance.

It looked at the three of them with some calmness, and finally spoke, "...... The golden flame fell into the dust, and darkness enveloped everything. ”

These were the last words of this armor.

The gray mist converged in one place, freezing it in a tall block of ice, and the knight lady lowered her spear, took a step back, and stabbed forward with her spear.

A ray of light pierced through the darkness, through the ice, and through the chest of the armor. The golden beam of light flickered, leaving a bright afterglow in everyone's field of vision, and then the man-tall ice gradually cracked through it with a clicking sound.

It's just that after the ice shattered, to Fang Yuan's great surprise, the armor was not immediately scattered to the ground, except for a black hole in the breastplate, it seemed to remain intact, standing motionless.

Just when Fang Yu thought that May's attack had not worked, but suddenly, a purple flame burned out from the dense black mist, completely engulfing the black mist.

The fire flickered, and the rusty armor made a muffled sound, staggering forward a few steps, and then fell heavily to the ground.

There was silence in the stone chamber.

Fang Yu looked at this scene for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, he always felt as if he should have seen or heard of such a situation somewhere.

……

Gradually, it was restored, and it should be possible to resume the update after that
