127. Change for me! (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Silver Frost)
The brave and fearless Atanis led several elite subordinates towards the depths of the Phantom City.
At first, he didn't notice anything, didn't find any danger, but the instinctive vigilance in his heart kept reminding him that he should leave as soon as possible.
Artanis' vigilance has always been accurate, and it is thanks to this keen intuition that he can sit in the position of archbishop, and if it were not for his identity and responsibility, as well as the missing squad, he would have followed his instincts and turned around and ran.
As they progressed, Artanis felt that the vigilance in his heart was gradually fading, and it seemed that this strange city was becoming safer and more comfortable, and he was slowly blending in.
But at this moment, his heart jumped suddenly, and he came to his senses in an instant, and hurriedly performed two healing magic techniques to help him stabilize his mind.
The elite subordinates who followed him could no longer see their usual fierceness and ability on their bodies at this time, their eyes were mixed and confused, and they continued to walk forward without giving up...
And the armor and decorations on their bodies began to become lighter and lighter, more and more like those phantoms.
Artanis instantly understood something, and hurriedly took out the scepter in his hand and sang loudly:
"My Lord, may you grant light and well-being..."
As he chanted, a gentle glow began to emanate from him, and the subordinates around him came back to their senses, and they all tried their best to break free from the bubble-like illusion on their bodies and return to their normal appearance.
Not only them, but many people close to Artanis, who were close to them, also came to their senses and began to subconsciously rush towards the glittering Atanis, trying to seek refuge.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! Stay sane and sober! β
Artanis reminded in a loud voice, grabbing one of his subordinates, first blessing him with a sanity-maintaining magic spell, and then ordered:
"Go out at once, find Jerk, and ask him to ask for help from the Holy City, and send the people of the Templars..."
The subordinate nodded again and again, and was about to turn away, when he was stopped by Artanis:
"Remember, by the way, inform the Mia Sect and tell them that this is a huge barrier, and it is very dangerous! Assimilate all intruders! β
The subordinate couldn't help but be stunned, when such a big thing happened, why didn't he go to the big people of the other two sects, but what kind of Miya sect did he want to find?
But he didn't dare to ask more, but the other companions next to him asked:
"What about you, Archbishop?"
"Try to stop this..."
Artanis, in a deep voice, gave the subordinate a hard push to get him out of the way, and then beckoned the rest of the men to gather the adventurers around him, trying to unite them.
But at this moment, the phantom residents around him, who were still heading towards the city center, suddenly stopped, adjusted their directions, and rushed towards him...
"Oops... That's not good... I'm not a martial artist..."
Artanis, muttering under his breath, frowning slightly.
At this time, Gallo, who was far away outside the city, also suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed:
"Not good! There's going to be a great thing in this city, so get the people out there! β
The old bishop and the young bishop Mitheran were taken aback, and before they could speak, they were attracted by the changes in the city.
The phantoms of various buildings in the city began to disappear rapidly, allowing the field of vision to become open in an instant, revealing the city center that was originally wrapped in layers of buildings-
There was a huge square, and countless phantom residents had gathered, and they were kneeling in dense circles, bowing to the middle of the square.
There was a pitch-black shadow standing there, and it was very bright all around, but this shadow seemed to swallow the light, and it remained as black as the abyss.
The city's original intricate labyrinth, vein-like roads have been preserved, and they spread wildly around the square in the middle, without the cover of the buildings, making these roads look like the lines of a huge painting, together outlining a strange and indescribable pattern.
The old bishop and the little bishop only glanced at the pattern slightly, and then they felt their scalps tingle, and a low murmur sounded in their ears, which began to lure their consciousness towards the dark and bottomless abyss...
But just when the two of them were about to fall unconscious, they suddenly felt a gentle warmth descending from their heads, allowing them to recover instantly.
"Are you alright?"
Gallo asked nervously:
"I think you seem to be falling asleep, so I'm going to give you a fanaticism, how about it? Feeling sober? Now is not the time to sleep! β
Fanaticism, how else can it be used?
An idea popped up in the old bishop's heart, but he didn't delve into it, and hurriedly asked:
"You're looking at that pattern, and you're all right?"
"What is that?"
"It's a god who once fell, but didn't die completely!"
"And right now, He's trying to revive..."
Gallo said with a very solemn face.
At this time, Lilian Luo, who was still asleep, suddenly fluttered and sat up straight, and woke up, she didn't care about some messy clothes, and crawled out of the tent, and plunged into Gallo's arms, her little hands tightly grasped the placket of his clothes, her body trembled slightly, and a pitiful wail came out of her throat...
"Woo... I'm so scared..."
As if she had been awakened by a nightmare, she rubbed against Gallo's body, and even the invisible armor on her body fell off in fright.
So Mitheran also saw this cute little Lori with blonde hair and white silk, and her expression was a little confused for a while...
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, what's wrong?"
Gallo hurriedly comforted, rubbing Lilian Luo's head with one hand and pinching her feet with the other, it was cold in her hand, it seemed that she was really frightened, her hands and feet were cold.
"Woo, there is a terrible evil god sleeping there, and it took us dragons a lot of effort to defeat him, and we sacrificed an ancestor to barely seal him..."
"But now that the seal is loosened, the evil god is about to come, woo woo, I'm going to be eaten by him..."
Lilian Ann Luo said with a crying voice, and then added:
"As soon as I approached here, I resonated with the consciousness of that ancestor and fell into a deep sleep, all of which he told me in his dreams..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the deep darkness in the middle of the far square finally revealed its true face little by little...
It looked like a black egg, and it looked like a huge stone tablet with dense spells and runes engraved on it, slowly wriggling, as if something was about to burst out of the cocoon.
If you count the time, it's very close to the time when the gods descended the pillar of light and informed them that it would be 'three days later'...
And outside this egg, it is surrounded by a huge skeleton.
The skeleton was huge, with wings on its back, and its whole body was pitch black, except for the skull, which was still dazzlingly golden, and it maintained a posture that looked like it was hugging the pitch-black egg, and it looked like imprisoning the huge stone tablet.
The old bishop only glanced at the stone tablet, and felt a sharp pain in his head, and bloody tears welled up in his eyes...
The many religious people and adventurers who had gathered in the vicinity, about two or three thousand people, had either entered the city at this time, and were assimilated into one of them, worshipping at the top of the stone tablet; Or because I looked directly at something that shouldn't be seen, and fell into a coma...
There are probably only a few dozen people left who can still move now, and they are surrounding a few strong people, struggling to resist those phantoms who want to assimilate them.
And the evil god has not even come, just revealing the true face of this ceremony, so that the human side will lose their armor and collapse...
At this time, Bishop Yeke also rushed to the camp of the Miya sect with several embarrassed crusaders and paladins, and when he saw the old bishop, he hurriedly said:
"Lord Artanis-sama asked me to come to you!"
"What about others?"
The old bishop hurriedly asked.
"Fighting inside, trying to interrupt the ceremony."
"Why is he so reckless? Have you contacted the Holy City? β
"The carrier pigeon has been released..."
"What's the use of releasing pigeons at times like these?! Pray to your God! β
The old bishop said with some eagerness.
"I've prayed, but my lord hasn't answered me!"
Bishop Jeke said, and then hurriedly asked:
"What do we do now? Are you going to support Lord Artanis? β
The old bishop did not speak, but turned to look at Gallo.
"Don't panic, be calm, the situation is not so bad!"
Gallo said calmly, and then explained:
"I've taken a closer look at this enchantment before, and it's missing a few key nodes, which should require a lot of troublesome materials to complete, and it should have been hidden before, and these nodes haven't been completed yet..."
"So this barrier hasn't been fully activated yet, and we still have a chance to go..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a low roar in the distanceβthe sound of the enchantment activating.
Gallo hurriedly looked up, only to see a rich green light emitting from several floating boats in the sky...
In the previous chaos, no one could have noticed that these unassimilated floatboats were slowly drifting towards several areas of the city, and only from the perspective of the sky could they find that the area where they were hovering happened to be the 'missing nodes'
"This..."
Gallo also looked a little nervous for a while, and hurriedly pointed to the huge keel and said:
"The dragon's seal is still left, it is the core and strongest area of the seal, let's kill it quickly, there is still a chance to replenish..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw that the only remaining golden skull was also dyed black in an instant...
The black stone tablet surrounded by dragon bones, the spells and runes on it were also rapidly dissipating, and soon disappeared completely, leaving only the deep darkness...
The deep darkness began to wriggle and twist, spreading out like a drop of ink on paper, enveloping the keels around it.
Then, I saw that the whole keel moved, and the bones were covered with a layer of black slime, which looked like a thin film, as if someone had splashed a bucket of viscous paint on the whole bone.
The whole keel stood upright on its feet like a human, and the wing bones behind it spread widely, and the black slime quickly covered it, stretching into a pair of pitch-black membranous wings, floating in the air, looking like a bat spreading plague and death.
A strong coercion like a substance spread out to the surroundings, and the old bishop and the others were so pressed that they almost bowed to worship, and they didn't dare to look up...
The little milk cats were also scared and scurryed all over the ground, and finally were grabbed by Amiya one by one and stuffed into their aprons.
"Fuck, why?"
Gallo couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and hurriedly grabbed Lilian Luo's double ponytails and asked:
"Did your ancestor tell you what to do now?"
"Woo... Run... Run..."
Lilian Lo squeaked, and refused to come out of Gallo's arms, as if she had forgotten that she was a dragon, and that she could fly, and that she could run away much faster than Gallo.
"No, you can't run... This ritual barrier must be destroyed! β
Gallo hurriedly explained with his own knowledge:
"The barrier here was originally to seal him, but I don't know who eroded and destroyed it, but it became the foundation that sustained his existence, as long as he destroyed this place before he found a new foundation..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the huge bat-like monster fly high and float in the direction of the City of Innocence, seemingly ignoring the humans below.
And on the floating boats in the sky, there were also people with green flames burning on their bodies, and they landed on the ground with the help of ropes, and joined the phantoms, and rushed towards the people who were still resisting.
One of the men spotted Gallo's presence and lunged at them in this direction.
"So I'm really not fit to do technical analysis and narration or anything..."
Gallo said very unpleasantly, took out two grips from his sleeve, and put them together.
But the old bishop grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Leave it to us here, and you return to the City of Innocence..."
"If no one stops Him, it's all over..."
Gallo was stunned for a moment, but he also reacted quickly, this evil god had just recovered, and he rushed towards the city of innocence without hesitation, obviously there was more important than this side.
"But... Can I resist Him? He's an ancient evil god... Even though he was just recovering, I just looked at him and felt goosebumps all over my body..."
"Can I really stop him?"
"Trust me, believe in yourself, believe in our goddess!"
"And your blood, courage, friendship, love, hope and possibility!"
The old bishop said with great seriousness.
"But I can't fly..."
Gallo said, looking down at Lilian Roe, who was still in his arms...
"Change for me!"
