Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dream Paradise
High in the air at the top of the mountain, a large ball of light is levitating.
About two dozen ordinary people, tied to a cross on a wooden stake, formed a circle around the ball of light. The blue spirit tentacles continued to drill in and out of the facial features of these victims, taking away the mysterious energy belonging to the human spirit and replenishing the huge blue ball of light in the center.
Some of these victims were fishermen fishing nearby, and some were merchant ships passing by and being attacked by Dream Paradise. From last year to now, there have been thousands of people who have been sacrificed, which is of course insignificant in the entire Eastern Solomon Empire.
Continue to squeeze the spiritual energy for another month, and soon the whole island will be pulled into the boundary between the real and the unreal, and become an island in the collective subconscious, an eternal paradise.
At that time, it can appear in reality, or it can shuttle through the ocean of the collective subconscious, becoming an easy-to-defend haven in the dream paradise.
Since collecting the plane fragments of Heavenly Mountain, Imam Alexander of the Dream Heaven Branch in Asia Minor has secretly formulated this ambitious plan - to turn the entire Plane Fragments of Heavenly Mountain into a half-dimensional branch belonging to the Dream Heaven Sect, so as to completely avoid the Solomon Holy See's plan to launch a continental heresy attack every few years.
Of course, due to the unique defensive advantage of the half-plane, this half-plane branch will be promoted to the headquarters soon, and then Imam Alexander will no longer be just a branch head, but will most likely smoothly enter the church elders and become a hot person in power in the sect.
As long as he still holds the access to the dimensional fragments for a day, all kinds of power struggles at the upper level will not even affect him, and he can sit firmly on the throne of the Elder Body.
This is the secret ambition of Imam Alexander.
"There is an alarm coming from the No. 1 line at the bottom of the mountain." One of the priests said. The four priests present were all confidants of Imam Alexander. Therefore, his first reaction was not that someone leaked information, which led to the killing of the demigods of the Eastern Solomon Empire or the Dream Heaven Headquarters, but that there must have been some passers-by who did not know the truth and landed on the island.
Being able to pass through the outer dream creature territory and make the sleeping samurai at the foot of the mountain sound the alarm, these passers-by still have some combat power. Just as Sheikh Alexander was thinking this, the priest who had called the police at the beginning suddenly changed his face:
"Line 1 has been breached! The two sleeping samurai signal silence! Line 2 ...... Line 2 was also breached! The enemy is moving towards Line 3, and Line 3 has also been breached! β
"What are the characteristics of an intruder?" At this time, Imam Alexander couldn't be calm, and hurriedly asked, "Is it equipped with heavy firepower weapons?" Or a high-level transcendent? β
"Flames!" Through a dream connection, the priest saw what the sleeping warriors had seen before they died, "Boundless flames! β
"Could it be the demigod of the flame sequence?" Imam Alexander's face changed drastically, "However, the demon tide has not risen yet!" How can these demigods act at will? β
In the closed beta version of the story, the maximum level of the Transcendent is 5. This upper limit does not mean that transcendents cannot raise their level to level6, but that the transcendent creatures distributed on the continent and the transcendent power that can be obtained can only support transcendents to reach level5 at most.
If it's the 5th age, the old monster that survived before the 4th age, then it's not level5, level 25, 35 are all there. However, they are not free to move around the world. On the one hand, the potion materials they promoted, the corresponding high-level transcendent creatures were already asleep, and there was no similar existence in the world; On the other hand, the ability to use at will is to consume spirituality, and the current level of the Demon Tide is not enough to supplement the spiritual consumption of their daily use ability.
To use a figurative but not apt analogy, suppose that the transcendents of level5 have to eat a pound of chicken every day, and the transcendents of level35 have to eat a pound of beef every day, then the current demon tide level has caused pheasants to be everywhere in the mainland, but the bison are all digging holes and hibernating.
Therefore, level5 transcendents can run around and jump around, and level35 can only lie dormant and pretend to be ordinary people, otherwise they will starve to death if they consume spirituality frequently.
Therefore it is absolutely impossible to be a demigod! Imam Alexander came to the conclusion that unless the information about the fragment of Heaven Mountain was leaked (however, the only four subordinates who knew about it were all staying at the top of this mountain with him, so this possibility was ruled out) that the most visitors were within the Lv.5 of the Bloodline Path, it was impossible to come directly to the door.
"All the sleeping samurai guarding the mountain road, all retreat to the top of the mountain to defend!" The enemy's advance was so fast that two or three sleeping samurai were no match for him. The reasonable way to deal with it is, of course, to retreat to the top of the hill and then concentrate on fighting the invading enemy. Imam Alexander immediately gave the order.
"Die, pig!" On the mountain road, Medea in the flames cursed angrily, and once again smashed a dream warrior off the cliff with a large fireball. She muttered to herself, covered in circulating hot flames, floating and rushing towards the top of the mountain again.
The other three girls did not dare to get too close to her, for fear that their hair or clothes would catch fire, so they could only rush forward along the mountain road.
Along the way, the frequency of encountering mobs has become less and less. Aske is keenly aware of this, it seems that the boss has summoned all the mobs back to the top of the mountain, and plans to wait for the rabbits to attack?
It's a pity.,If it's the high point of the magic tide now.,Maybe I'll still have any scruples about it.,The dungeon boss in the open beta stage.,At most, it's only level5.γ
Just rush up and kill it.
Rushing to the top of the mountain, the view is immediately clear. At the top of the mountain is a large open flat land, about a few hundred meters in diameter. A conspicuous ball of spirit light was suspended in the air, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Then there were the victims, the Sleeping Samurai, and the Dream Priest tied to the stakes below, and a rough count of about two dozen enemies looked like them.
At this time, there is no need to talk nonsense, they all hit the enemy's lair and say anything, and the battle broke out almost on the spot. The Dream Clergy on the opposite side was the first to cast a spell, and summoned five Dream Dolls, all of whom were heavily armed knights in steel power armor.
Eleanor was on the verge of tears, why are you all staring at my memories?
In fact, neither Nora nor Peggy had ever seen the transcendent before, and Medea was now in a state of spiritual loss and could not read her memories. Aske was far behind, and of course the Dream Clergy could only look for a target from her memories.
So Eleanor's father, two uncles, and two of his strongest knights were copied, and the two-meter-high power armor was murderous, which immediately emboldened the priests.
Before they could really calm down, the rampaging Medea had completely exploded. Her bloodshot eyes widened, looking at so many male NPCs in front of her, she simply squeezed out what little spiritual energy she had left, shouted angrily, and the fireball in her hand was crackling and shooting out, and immediately washed all the enemies present, and even the entire mountain top was almost caught in a sea of fire.
Without the collective cues of the Psychic Warlocks, Eleanor and Peggy could only rush forward. The former, with the help of the defensive power of the armor and the spear with the advantage of distance, opened and closed in the crowd and constantly attacked. The latter, on the other hand, walks on the edge of the battlefield with his ultra-high-speed body skills, and from time to time approaches an enemy to give a backstab.
Nora stood a little bewildered. At this time, she didn't have any combat ability, and she couldn't participate in the battle in front, and no one paid attention to her for a while, when she suddenly heard Asker's voice from behind:
"Nola, come here!"
She quickly turned her head, and saw Asker hiding obscenely behind the small dirt slope of the mountain road, quietly watching the battlefield from a hidden place. Nora hurriedly ran over and stayed with Asker, feeling a lot more relieved.
"See the five men in the clergy's robes on the other side?" Asker pointed to the distance and said, "Those five are bosses." β
"Hmm." Nora nodded obediently, "What do you need me to do?" β
"You don't need to do anything." Aske said, "Next, they're going to urge the ball of light on the top to make a big move, and I'll see if I can kill one of them." You can see which one the light ball ultimate is attacking, if it's Eleanor or Medea then don't care (one of these two people has thick skin and the other can't die), if it's Peggy, you can remind her loudly. β
"Won't that draw the enemy in?" Nora asked.
"In Medea's furious mode with full firepower, their primary strategic goal is to take out Medea, otherwise they will have to withstand her firepower to rush over, and the sacrifice is too great." Asker pointed his thumb at himself, "Besides, isn't there still me?" β
"Okay." Nola's heart was immediately settled, and she stared at the ball of light with all her attention.
I saw the five priests on the opposite side spread their arms and made a gesture of "embracing the sun", and blue light flashed from their eyes and noses, surging towards the large ball of light above their heads. The blue glow converged on the surface of the ball of light in a torrent and suddenly pounced on Eleanor.
Torrent of souls!
Eleanor was fighting by Medea's side when she was suddenly hit by a torrent of souls. She held the shield to prevent the mana from falling from the sky, only to feel the pressure of Peiran bombarding her shield, and the five fingers of her left hand could barely grasp the handle of the shield.
Taking advantage of Eleanor's defeat, the sleeping warriors and power armor knights next to him immediately filled up and attacked Medea in the flames frantically. The latter's style of play is also like a madman, constantly throwing high-temperature flames around, almost like an erupting volcano.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, roaring like thunder. Asker's Imperial Eagle fires an elephant bullet that pierces the chests of the three sleeping warriors, blasting a large hole in the chest of one of the priests.
The other four priests' faces immediately changed when they saw this, but because they were maintaining the soul torrent, they did not stop casting spells immediately.
It's the hesitation of the bosses at this moment, which was calculated by Aske in advance. There were three more short but continuous gunshots, and the three priest bosses immediately fell in response.
At this time, the only remaining Patriarch Alexander did not dare to continue casting spells, and quickly interrupted the soul torrent (at this time, Eleanor was almost hit by the spell to the edge of the cliff, and was about to fall off the cliff and be killed by the map a second later). With his command, Medea left only half of the warriors around her to continue to pester her, and the other half galloped away in the direction of Aske.
"Watch for secrecy, I'm leaving." Aske said this to Nola, and slashed his sword at the surging enemy. Nora almost burst into tears as she looked at Asker's backβshe remembered the legendary novels she had read, where heroes had always faced a single sword, fearlessly facing enemies far outnumbered by herself.
"Lord, bless Mr. Asker, that his sword may drink blood on the battlefield, and that the enemy's evil blade may never reach the corner of his garment." She knew that she was now powerless, and she had no way to rush to the battlefield to support, so she could only close her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and silently prayed to God.
Asker draws his sword and rushes at the enemy. The front Power-Armored Knight's illusion charged at him, and he dodged the mace with a sideways step, and his backhand was a barb, and the sword was inserted into the gap between the knight's unprotected joints.
Then he quickly drew his long sword, parrying the attacks of the two sleeping warriors on the left, and with a light flick and pull, he pulled the attack of the two to the right, and the blade pressed the neck of one of them with his hand, and quickly and skillfully cut half a circle, blood spurting out of the cut trachea.
