964 God's Trial

Power, like a deadly poison, can cause any creature to lose itself, become intoxicated by "great power", and become a weak puppet.

The more powerful they are, the more reluctant they are to give up their power, and even if they are vaguely aware of the falsity of the world, they are unwilling to admit that their achievements and efforts are all in vain.

The situation would be even worse if it was a person with great self-esteem and pride who held power. Even if the truth has been discovered, it will even choose to ignore this fact. For exampleβ€”

"Go and tell the God-King that the Leviathan has destroyed Mephistopheles, and all of its territory."

A low roar came from the clouds, and the monstrous waves began to retreat, leaving behind a fragmented ruin, and Mephistopheles' territory, like the "undead zone" once ruled by the blood god, was completely destroyed by unstoppable forces.

The sea monster that ruled a part of the city of Sodom roamed among the clouds, and the words of Mephistopheles the "fraudster" had long since been cast aside by it and completely forgotten as a lie.

"The God-King has received your report." A white shadow floating in the air sent a message to Leviathan, "Is there anything else you'd like to say?" ”

"Tell him that one day I will overthrow his rule and become the true ruler of Sodom." Leviathan roared.

The pale figure in the sky bowed slightly, disappeared into the filthy sky of Sodom, and Leviathan, who had destroyed Mephistopheles' territory, returned to his own territory.

- The war in the city of Sodom is over, at least on the surface.

The remnants of the demons returned to "Hell" through the unfathomable circular crater in the center of the city, and in the deepest part of "Hell", in the golden palace. Sitting sat an archangel in golden armor.

The angel who was named the God King by the other demon gods in Sodom City shook the golden cup in his hand, and the three pairs of bright light wings behind him reflected that the space around him was shrouded in divine light.

Although the appearance of this angel looks like that of a standard angel, this angel has a demonic white bone mask on his face, and his eye sockets cast a blue cold light, and he is lazily leaning on a translucent throne, with a crimson cross-shaped weapon beside him.

At this time, the angel was watching the scene in Mephistopheles' territory through the "projection" in the palace. Not only did he see what had just happened, but he also heard Mephistopheles and Leviathan's dialogue.

Mephistopheles ...... Did you find out? ”

The pair of eyes exposed on the skull mask bent slightly, and the angel stood up suddenly, and the golden armor and light wings on his body turned into red and black demon armor and withered bone wings in an instant.

"Continue to paralyze them, and don't let the other demon kings wake up."

In the palatial palace, a holy oracle sounded: "Complete your mission, Michael!" ”

Michael, who once served as the archangel in heaven and was hailed as the embodiment of "absolute justice", but now can only rule over false demons, did not respond to the call of heaven, but simply took up the cross and turned away, humming the ballad learned from hell in the demonic language.

He didn't know if he was being corrupted by demons and gradually assimilated into demon gods, and he didn't care what his state was.

After all, as long as you can complete the tasks assigned by heaven, you don't have to think about anything else.

……

"Mephistopheles has awakened and is out of Heaven's grasp. Shadow Fiend and Bafenter are dead, but their perceptions are still trapped in visions created by Heaven. ”

In a cold tone, the Old God explained the current situation: "Samael and Mammon are currently weak, and after losing their strength, they may also discover the truth of that world like Mephistopheles." ”

"Hah, maybe." Lin Chi, who was still in the illusion, continued to overlook the old Sodom City below.

"Emissary, you have completed the task I have given you and presented me with the fragments of the altar." The ancient god conveyed his will to Lin Chi: "Thank you for your efforts. ”

"Is that old god south of Sodom really you?" At this point, Lin Chi was not too surprised, after learning about the "hidden plot", he naturally also knew why the ancient gods wanted to weaken the demon king trapped in the illusion.

- Only when they are not blinded by power can those demon kings face up to the hypocrisy of the world and discover the flaws in the illusion.

Through the instructions of the observer contract, Lin Chi, who completed the special mission, also triggered the special plot of this boss battle. Obviously, if he wasn't a "messenger of the ancient gods", he would probably be dragged directly into battle here, and he wouldn't have had the opportunity to communicate with the ancient gods hidden underground.

However, even if you are given the opportunity to talk, the battle should be inevitable. Because...... The boss fight has not yet been judged to be over.

"What's next?" Lin Chi asked casually, ready to trigger the following plot.

"Messenger, I have witnessed your power, but to be recognized by me, you need to show your true power before me. I will summon ancient warriors to fight you and destroy them without mercy. ”

- So what will happen next should be the final trial given by the ancient gods.

The illusion of the old city of Sodom began to dissipate, and instead of a city burned by heavenly fire, a bloody arena came into view:

Surrounded by huge wooden planks, he looked like he was standing in a terrifying beast cage, and the wooden planks were mottled with bloodstains, and he could faintly smell blood.

Unlike ordinary arenas, the arenas made by the ancient gods did not have any spectators, nor did they have overly enthusiastic hosts to introduce the challengers in an excited tone. Lin Chi was the only one in the arena, standing alone in the barren sand.

Lin Chi, who had played a gladiator in the "Colosseum" map, had long been accustomed to this situation. He looked down at his body and found that his mutilated body had returned to normal, but the great strength in his body had also disappeared.

Now what he uses is the body of an ordinary gladiator, whether it is skills or equipment, it has disappeared, and the original walking corpse body has also become the flesh and blood of a living person.

The gray light armor covering the upper half of his body, full of small scars, and his rough hands, holding a small round shield and a short sword, although muscular, compared to the previous body, can only be described as "weak" gladiator, standing on the empty battlefield, waiting for the moment when the trial begins.

Five seconds later, the voice of the Old God broke the silence in the arena:

"A soldier who is dexterous enough to survive a war. The first opponent you'll face is from the frigid valley of Savia, a former Shadowguard and the toughest archer of the Shadowguards. ”

With the introduction of the ancient gods, a man with a silver longbow appeared on the other side of the arena.

The archer wears light blue light armor and has strange arrows stuck in the quiver behind his back, which appear to be at least twice as thick as normal arrows.

The man with short brown hair nodded slightly at Lin Chi, his brown eyes cast a sharp gaze, and his wrinkled face, despite his youth, showed an expression like a poisonous snake ready to hunt.

At the same time as the archer appeared, a line of red letters appeared in Lin Chi's sight:

"Lightning Archer", a heroic NPC, cannot be recruited.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

There was a deathly silence in the arena, and heavy breathing could be heard. Lin Chi tried to move his body, which was only at the level of a gladiator, and began to adapt to the body in this illusion, but saw that the archer was putting the arrows on the bowstring, and his movements were unusually gentle, as if he was appeasing the longbow in his hand.

Although the opponent had a short knife hanging from his waist, Lin Chi knew very well that for this kind of pure archer, hand-to-hand combat was likely to be a weakness. As long as you can get close, it's basically equivalent to winning.

Lin Chi started abruptly and rushed towards the archers.

Even in the middle of the charge, it is necessary to beware of the opponent's arrows, Lin Chi has already noticed that the tip of the arrow in the opponent's hand is not a sharp metal, but a small green ball.

The archer suddenly fired an arrow, which was so heavy that it was pitifully slow. was easily flashed by Lin Chi, but things obviously won't be so simple:

"Poof!"

The small green ball at the tip of the arrow exploded, and the green smoke quickly emitted and surrounded Lin Chi's body, choking him with a pungent sour smell. Rushing out of the smoke as quickly as possible, he found himself back where he had stood before the battle.

It seems that this green smoke can make the person who has been tricked lose his way for a short time.

Seeing that the other party was already ready to dodge, Lin Chi was about to dodge, only to see a dazzling silver light flashing out of that guy's hand.

The other party has attacked!

With the reaction speed trained by the "battle-hardened", Lin Chi's body leaned back suddenly, and a silver arrow flew over his shoulder, snapping and nailing to the wooden board two meters behind him.

In the face of archers with strong arms, rushing head-on is definitely a dead end, and approaching in a circle is the right choice. After deciding on the next tactic, Lin Chi began to run wildly to the right side, and an arrow flew in front of him, also nailed to the wooden board behind him.

- Is it crooked?

Lin Chi was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped. He noticed that behind the arrow nailed to the wall was a very thin metal wire that was stretched straight and shimmered red, as if it still carried the blood of some poor man.

Some of the finest metal wires are said to be so sharp that they can even tear apart human bodies. However, it seems that it is not common for people to use this weapon in battle.

There doesn't seem to be such a thing on that arrow just now......

Glancing back at the previous arrow, Lin Chi immediately realized that the other party was yin himself: ordinary people would not pay attention to the arrows that came later when they saw that there was no hidden weapon on the first arrow. Then he will be carelessly cut in half by the metal wire on the arrow that follows, and he will not understand how he hung up until he dies.

However, this trap alone could not escape Lin Chi's eyes......

Bang Bang Bang!

The archer shot three arrows in a row, sweeping towards Lin Chi's body, one of the arrows was blocked by the round shield, and the force was so great that Lin Chi staggered back, and the other two arrows with thin lines were also nailed to the wooden plank, creating an extremely sharp cage, trying to trap Lin Chi in it.

"Is this the 'dexterity test'......" Lin Chi snorted.

Needless to say, as long as you are trapped by the metal wire, you will definitely die.

Now, it's up to who's faster.

Lin Chi took two steps forward, and suddenly a sliding shovel rushed forward, his hair brushing against the metal wire, and a piece of his scalp was shaved off at the same time.

While the other party was still pulling the strings, Lin Chi, who turned into a gladiator, kicked the ground with both feet, and rushed towards the archers in an antelope-like sprint!

Syllable!

Another arrow came, Lin Chi's center of gravity sank, creating a "rubbing" effect, and at the same time that the arrow grazed the light armor on his shoulder, he had already rushed to the archer.

Seeing the enemy approaching, the archer threw away his longbow, drew his short-handled double sword, and tried to engage Lin Chi in hand-to-hand combat. After less than two rounds, the body was decapitated by the barbaric "gladiators", and the body with its head lost fell in the sand of the arena.

"Well done, messenger."

The Old God's tone was approving: "You have passed the test of dexterity. But in addition to dexterity, what a warrior needs more is tactics"

"Your next opponent is from the old city of Sodom, he is a dark magician, kill him and show me your power."

The archer's corpse dissipated into smoke, and this time it was a hunchbacked man in a black robe who appeared in the arena, and at the same time as this guy appeared, the text introduction also appeared again:

"Shadow Mage", a heroic NPC, cannot be recruited.

The black robe not only covered the guy's body, but also his face. At such a distance, only a black figure could be seen, and it was impossible to tell whether this guy was male or female.

- To fight against this kind of mage, melee combat is also the most reliable option......

Lin Chi was about to rush towards the mage when he found that the black figure had already rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.

"What's the matter, melee mage?"

Before the words fell, a black figure had already appeared in front of him like a ghost, bringing a bloody yin wind.

Lin Chi violently threw a punch at the black shadow in front of him, and the force of this punch was enough to shatter anyone's head. But just as the fist was about to touch the mage, a terrifying dark aura suddenly erupted from the opponent's body.

The diffuse black qi blocked Lin Chi's heavy punch, and he tried to withdraw his hand, but found that his hand had been entangled in the black qi and could not move.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi kicked at the mage, and at the same time tried to withdraw his right hand, but because he was controlled in place, the range of his attack was limited. Stepping back in the opposite direction easily avoided this kick.

The dark mage stood out of Lin Chi's reach, and a low and hoarse voice sounded from under the hood covering his head:

"Locas, Bethes. In the name of the evil god, I summon a weapon of terror. ”

As he spoke, black flames erupted from his hands, and a vague outline of shadows loomed in the air.
