Chapter 447: Battle of the Courtyard (6,000 words, the first to ask for a monthly pass!) )
Sherlock hovered directly above the central courtyard of the Academy of the Dead, a parrot standing on his shoulder.
Below were the undead lich who filled the entire courtyard space, their eyes flashing with gray light, and the magic was flickering with a wave of magic arrays, charging the huge ugly box.
"Kill him!"
Professor Cabbage pointed to Sherlock in the sky and ordered, and the undead lich who had been standing in place raised their heads one after another, and the magic power soon began to gather in their hands, and even above Sherlock's head, there were bursts of dark clouds of lightning and thunder that began to gather.
"Hold on."
Sherlock shouted, and then his wings flapped violently, and he began to climb rapidly, disappearing into the clouds.
Then, countless magical beams of light shot out from the courtyard towards the dark clouds, and those magical beams collided in the dark clouds, and different colors exploded in the dark clouds, looking like colorful cotton balls.
This barrage of attacks lasted for about a few minutes, and then a gradual ceasefire was gradually ceased under the orders of Professor Cabbage.
Professor Cabbage squinted slightly at the dark cloud in front of him, which was still there after all the magic had stopped, and it was clear that this cloud had been created by Sherlock himself with magic.
When the magic attack stopped, the dark cloud still showed no sign of dissipating, and Professor Cabbage watched the dark cloud carefully, and a fire like a color continued to spread in the dark cloud.
With a high, crisp chirp, the flames scorched the dark clouds at once, and a phoenix with wings spread rushed out of the dark clouds.
The huge wings spread out to be tens of meters wide, and under the wingspan, a large field of flames slanted down towards the lichs on the ground, almost instantly drowning the lich students in the flames.
There was a high-pitched and piercing cry everywhere he passed, and the flames of the phoenix scorched the controlled lich students, and a large area of flames, along with the wings of the phoenix Phoenix, flew through and sprinkled in the middle of the courtyard.
But compared to the sheer number of Lich students, these flames can hurt only a handful after all.
However, the flames of Phoenix did not spread widely, not long after the flames burned, a large area of gray mist shrouded in, tightly enveloping Phoenix, Phoenix's flames were wrapped in those gray fogs, unable to break through, and it looked like an internal burning ash mass was flying wildly in the sky.
Sherlock looked among the lichs below, trying to lock on to the lich who had unleashed the magic of the gray mist, and it didn't take him much effort to spot the lich.
It's not a cabbage professor, but - a scholar!
Xueba's state was already the same as the other Lich students, with a gray light in his eyes, and he raised his hands high, manipulating gray weapons to block Phoenix Phoenix's attack.
Sherlock raised his position a little more, and then his wings flicked violently, swooping down towards the Lich Scholar below.
However, from the teaching building of the Academy of the Dead, a vast white gargoyles flew towards Sherlock, and the gargoyles stretched out their claws, bared their teeth, and grabbed Sherlock.
But none of the gargoyles could hurt Sherlock, and all of them were crushed by Sherlock's punches.
But it also stopped Sherlock from swooping down towards the top student. And those shattered gargoyles were not simply destroyed, their casual began to gradually reassemble in the process of scattering, and soon, those casual became tall humanoid creatures with a pair of wings behind them.
It looks like a winged statue made of stone.
And there are also broken gargoyles constantly joining the body of the giant of the statue of Nago.
The huge statue slammed its fist at Sherlock, Sherlock didn't dodge in the slightest, he also raised his fist, and smashed it towards a fist that was much bigger than himself, the two fists collided together, making a huge sound, and then I saw that the statue's fist appeared densely packed like a spider's web, and the cracks began to spread along the statue's entire arm, and in almost three seconds, the parts that had a fist against Sherlock began to fall apart, Large chunks of stone fell towards the motionless Lich students below, smashing several skeleton shelves in an instant.
However, the statue did not stop its movements, and continued to swing another fist at Sherlock, and the fist was wrapped in gray magic.
Sherlock took a deep breath, followed by a fist towards the stone fist that smashed over, almost just as soon as the two fists touched, the statue's arm was smashed by the force coming from the fist, the statue that lost two arms in a row retreated twice, "boom" leaned against a building behind him, the debris on the smashed building fell sparsely, hitting the heads of the Lich students below, the smaller ones didn't matter, the larger ones directly smashed and paralyzed a few Lich students.
And the magic array on the ground also began to spread to the statue's body, and the magic power continued to flicker on the statue's body.
"Lord Sherlock, this statue looks different from ordinary demon puppets, so let's find someone to control it secretly."
Blue said in Sherlock's mind.
As soon as Blue finished speaking, Sherlock was already there, among the Lich Students, looking for someone who might manipulate the statue.
He soon found the man who was manipulating the statue, Professor Bacon.
Professor Bacon, like the other lichs, had a gray glint in his eyes, and it was clear that Professor Bacon was also under the control of Professor Cabbage.
As for the method of controlling them, Sherlock guessed that it could be a huge magic circle beneath the Academy of the Dead.
"Lord Sherlock, what do we do now? Do you want to kill the top students and Professor Bacon together? If you think about it this way, you have to do it for the sake of peace in the underworld. ”
Blue said again in Sherlock's mind.
"Although your suggestion is very good, the free labor I finally found cannot be killed by myself."
Without even thinking about it, Sherlock vetoed Blue's proposal.
He looked in the direction of the gate of the Academy of the Dead, where there was some unusual noise.
Professor Cabbage had apparently noticed the noises as well, and she turned her head to look at the crystal ball in her hand, and the picture in the crystal ball made Professor Cabbage unimaginable.
The army of the undead, which was originally used to stop the players, has now been swept away by a huge Gundam.
The players simply followed behind Gundam, clearing out the remaining skeleton soldiers.
The player's Gundam was first dismantled by Yoda and then assembled on the spot in the stronghold, because the parts of the Gundam were designed by the hemp rope science and technology boss, which also took into account the convenience of dismantling and assembly, and the people who came to assemble the Gundam were very skilled players, so they didn't spend too much time.
How had the lichs ever seen such a weapon? The players who could have been resurrected indefinitely have already made it impossible for them to break through the defense line, and now there is a tall Gundam that can't break through the defense, not to mention the defense line, they can't even hold the front.
Sitting in the cockpit of the Gundam with a rudimentary observation port in front of him, Arthur's mission is to use the Gundam to break through the defenses of the main entrance so that players can enter the Academy of the Dead.
"What is this?"
Professor Cabbage asked in disbelief, muttering to himself.
But no one answered her question, Charlotte flipped his wings, his hands gathered together, the white magic began to converge, and Sherlock looked at the statue covered in magic runes.
When the white magic gathered into a ball of light, Sherlock smashed the ball of light in his hand towards the statue in front of him, and the ball of light crossed a bright trajectory and smashed on the statue's body, and the sudden burst of light and the deafening sound made the entire Academy of the Dead tremble.
The white ball of light hit the statue's body, and the huge impact was like a meteorite on the ground, and the heat wave that erupted and the impact force pressed the statue against the building.
But it was only a matter of seconds, and soon the statue was melted by the massive ball of light, evaporating along with the buildings behind it.
The explosion centered on the ball of light and spread around, and the rising fireball appeared in the central courtyard, and the huge magic force swept the surrounding lich students to the ground.
Professor Cabbage couldn't believe what he was seeing, because she was a certain distance from the center of the explosion, so she didn't suffer much damage.
But the high-ranking demon with such magical power is something that Professor Cabbage has never seen before.
Of course, Sherlock was not easy, he also showed a tired look on his face after taking out the statue with one shot, and coupled with the constant resurrection and use of magic cannonballs, Sherlock instigated his wings to stop on the nearby building, and it seemed that he did not plan to continue the fight.
But Professor Cabbage didn't intend to let Sherlock rest comfortably like this, and she ordered Xueba and Professor Bacon:
"Keep attacking, while that high-ranking demon hasn't caught his breath yet!"
She commanded.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the building next to the courtyard was smashed into a large hole in the dust of a loud bang.
A Gundam that has completed its colorful painting and is armed with a long sword twenty or thirty meters long, the Gundam destroyed the buildings of the School of the Dead in a single blow, and behind the collapsed buildings were hordes of players looking at the lich in the courtyard with fanatical eyes.
There were still some skeleton soldiers around who wanted to come over to stop them, but after the skeleton army was swept away by the Gundam and the magic cannon, these scattered skeletons were no longer a threat.
"Damn, this is too powerful, I want to make Gundam too."
"Big hemp rope, don't say anything, after this battle, I'm going back to marry you, you make me a Gundam, please."
"Pick your feet and sweat on the side, I'm a cute girl, hemp rope boss, I promise to give you a full set of services, you can help me make a Gundam."
Some of the players were already at the feet of the Gundam, begging for the hemp rope polytechnic boss who was in the cockpit with Arthur.
But the big guy of the hemp rope science and technology, he couldn't hear what the players below were saying at all, the height of the Gundam reached tens of meters, and those players were no different from ordinary ants in front of the Gundam.
Coupled with the special materials used in Gundam, the sound from the outside is rarely audible from the outside.
Arthur sat in the cockpit, watching the situation outside the observation port, where groups of lichs stood in the courtyard, and an ugly huge box of white bones and minced meat was placed in the center of the courtyard.
A huge magic array was under their feet, constantly flashing light, this looked like an evil ritual no matter how you looked at it, and their lord, Lord Sherlock, was sitting on the opposite building, in front of Sherlock, there was a huge crater caused by the explosion, it was obvious that this place had just gone through a fierce battle, as for the phoenix, I don't know where to fly to Phoenix.
"Arthur, attack that big box, although I don't know what it is, but it looks awesome, and there must be no big problem with breaking him."
In fact, without the command of the hemp rope polytechnic, Arthur had already manipulated the Gundam and walked towards the huge box in front of him.
As for those lichs, in their eyes, the gray light flickered more and more, and all kinds of magic began to gather in their hands, and the beams of magic power flew towards Arthur's manipulated Gundam like rain, but those magic beams, hitting Gundam's body, had no effect at all.
"Sherlock-sama, what exactly did you use to make the Gundam? Why didn't the magic have any effect on him? ”
Blue asked, somewhat surprised.
"It's nothing, it's just that I spent nearly 10 million magic stones, and I bought a rare ore that is almost insulated by magic and covered it with a layer on his surface, I thought it was quite painful before, but now it seems that the effect is much better than I imagined, I didn't expect to use it so quickly."
Sherlock said with a smile as he stood on the railing of the building and watched Gundam walk past the lich students who were frantically unleashing magic on him.
"You're a visionary, Sherlock."
Blue was very apt for a sycophant.
"Although it is insulated from mana, it has a big disadvantage in terms of defense, at least it is much more fragile than the first machine, but it is enough to deal with these skeleton frames. They don't have any heavy weapons. ”
Sherlock said with a smile.
But just as he finished speaking, he saw the manipulated Xueba, tearing open a scroll, and on the torn scroll, gray magic erupted out, gathering on Xueba's body, and soon those gray magic power split into a small ball, and wrapped the fragments of the huge building on the ground, and the magic wrapped the fragments, and flew towards the Gundam in front of him.
"Arthur! Be careful! ”
The big man of the hemp rope science and technology shouted, and the little gray balls had already flown over.
No need to be reminded by the hemp rope science and technology boss, Arthur has already seen the ball of light flying in front of him, he quickly made a sideways dodge action in the control room, the huge Gundam, following Arthur's movements, also rushed to the side at the same time, many players on the side, have not even reacted, because the Gundam controlled by Arthur was pressed under him, and the players who saw all this, what they thought was not that they were dead, but that there would be something wrong with their equipment, after all, such a big guy smashed down, No matter how hard the equipment is, it may become a discus throw, can such equipment still be repaired?
Many players think so.
Those small gray balls of light did not hit the Gundam, but landed on the heads of the players behind the Gundam, and in addition to the physical damage caused to the players, there was also a wrapped gray magic power, which exploded after hitting the ground or the players' bodies, and soon a series of explosions resounded among the players.
"Damn, find cover!"
"Is it the top student who is attacking us?"
"Didn't the plot say that we would save the top students?"
"Half of my guild members are out of equipment!"
After the explosion, some players complained and shouted, but they were still very conscious of looking for cover that could be covered, because they were worried about the second wave of attack from Xueba.
As for Arthur, after a very embarrassing sideways roll dodge, he propped himself on the ground with one hand, then straightened up, and the huge Gundam made the same movement as Arthur, and rushed towards the ugly box in front of him.
Although Arthur really wanted to kill the Xueba who launched the attack first, the distance of the Xueba was too far away from him, and there were so many Lich students in the middle to block it, it was a bit impossible to get over.
Because Arthur knows very well that the defense of his Gundam is really not very good, and the magic resistance is quite high.
He took a step and rushed towards the ugly box, using a huge long sword along the way, slashing at the lich students in the attack range, each sword down, sweeping the lich students, although those lichs are very good at necromancy, but in terms of defense and offense at close station, they are not even as good as an ordinary beastman, how can they stop the attack of Gundam?
But Professor Cabbage didn't feel distressed by this, because there were still many lichs in the courtyard, and her ritual had reached the final stage, and all she had to do now was to stop the huge tin monster that was advancing.
Professor Cabbage raised his hands, and the bones of the scattered Lich Students, under the control of Professor Cabbage's magic, soon formed a huge bone wall, blocking Gundam's face.
"I won't let you stop me, this is the final stage of resurrecting Frangipani-sama, the whole world will tremble at the feet of Frangipani-sama, you are no exception, all the sacrifices are worth it!"
Professor Cabbage said this, she turned around, and walked towards the huge ugly box in front of her without hesitation, flesh-colored tentacles stretched out from the box, and began to wrap around Professor Cabbage's body, and the magic power on those lich students began to be absorbed by the magic array faster and faster, but it was only that, obviously, the magic array also has a limit.
Professor Cabbage's skeletal face had a fanatical expression:
"Frangipani-sama! Let's make two into one! Let me be the last brickstone of your resurrection! ”
The tentacles wrapped around Professor Cabbage's body on the skeleton shelf, and the magic on Professor Cabbage's body was quickly absorbed, and it didn't take long for her to be sucked into a pile of powder and thrown into the air.
As the players looked at the scene in front of them, some of them thought that it was over, was the mission going to fail?
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for the huge box, there was any abnormality, the magic array was still desperately absorbing the power of the lich students, the huge box trembled, although I don't know why, but the players seemed to be able to feel the anxious and eager emotions from the box.
It's like saying:
"Why haven't I had my fill yet?!"
Arthur was manipulating the Gundam and had broken through the defense of the bone wall, and he wanted to rush over and destroy the ugly box, but he had just approached, and before the giant sword in his hand could be swung down, his entire body had already entered the story mode.
Sherlock waved his wings and slowly hovered between Arthur's Gundam and the huge box, and he crossed his arms and watched carefully:
"This cabbage professor's math doesn't seem to be very good, obviously she didn't finish charging, she sacrificed herself, if this is a normal situation, won't the resurrection of frangipani fail?"
Sherlock said with a look of dissatisfaction.
"Lord Sherlock, very good chance, let's quickly destroy this resurrection ritual, the Demon Council and the Merchant Alliance will definitely give us a large amount of money as a reward, we can buy new dungeon cores, as well as a large number of supplies and war equipment, I can already see the picture of conquering the underground world in the future, the first step to conquering the world, start with the conquest of Winterfell!"
Blue said excitedly.
But Sherlock didn't answer him, and instead waved his wings, keeping himself closer to the huge box in front of him.
The flesh-colored tentacles seemed to sense the proximity of the source of the magic, and stretched out tentatively towards Sherlock.
Sherlock didn't dodge, but raised his arm, letting the flesh-colored tentacles wrap around his arm, and the magic began to be sucked in.
"Lord Sherlock?"
Blue asked, somewhat incomprehensibly.
"It's nothing, I just think that this frangipani, judging from the appearance, is quite high, it should be very suitable for coming to our Eternal Kingdom dungeon to work, I will give him a promising treatment that satisfies him, of course, the premise is that he has to be resurrected first, you say I'm right?"
Sherlock looked at the box that was constantly flickering in front of him and said,
And the box in front of him, after absorbing enough magic power, all the flesh-colored tentacles retracted, and soon let out a deafening roar.
