Chapter 1698: Over-the-horizon strike
Belkiel fled with a terrible injury, and even if he had a hundred lives, these injuries would have hurt him for a long time. Chadoldin had been blown to pieces, and even if he belonged to Buu, it would have taken too long to put himself back together. And Bertina, or Miss Bloodline Dragonborn Warlock whose real name is Maltia, is in a sad state of losing her freedom if she can't beat her, and she will be dragged to a "blind date" if she is disabled by her own sister.
Of course, Lu Xi, who caused all this, also paid a heavy price, but he even shouted the slogan "Shoot at me" and gave his life alive!
So, when Lu Xi's scepter appeared in the World Tree again with full blood, he suddenly had a sense of glory like Pahn's possession, and he couldn't help but puff up his chest at the moment, feeling that he had broken the shackles and gained the whole world.
β¦β¦ Same as zz. A second later, he retracted his chest and couldn't help but spit out a groove on himself.
"That's a life! Whoa, I feel like I have a lot of lives. Lu Xi looked at the place he was, under the light curtain, in the center of the platform of the fortress, the core node of the magic array still had the World Tree Scepter inserted. A rhythmic halo of light was transmitted from the circle to several surrounding ritual vessels, and then slowly floated again, vaguely forming the shape of a translucent island that was condensing.
It's good, the circle is still working. Lu Xi suddenly relieved his heart, and felt that his previous gameplay was not a good one. The only side effect was another death.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Xi felt the sudden side effects. Tingling, fainting, dizziness, nausea, all pressed down like an avalanche of blood. Even with his mental strength, it took more than a second to survive, and then he slowly began to calm down.
Kitty was right, the feeling of being torn apart by flames and shockwaves in an instant was really uncomfortable, obviously the limbs had been shattered, but the power of the World Tree Scepter still kept the soul alive in a material sense. Of course, this is a good thing, and it represents the basis for resurrection on the spot, but the side effect is that for a long time, I seem to be able to feel the emptiness of every fragment of my body gradually losing its vitality.
It's a hard experience to put into words, and it's not very painful, but it brings people a sense of fear that far outweighs serious injuries and serious illnesses. If my will is weak, I am afraid it will become a lifelong nightmare.
"No wonder Master Richard's mental state in his old age has become like that. People still have to be cautious, and this trick really has to be used with caution! yes, Kitty. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Why don't you speak?"
"Kitty is angry! Very, very angry! β
"Oh well, I didn't listen to you this time, it's the third time I've used this resurrection magic. However, isn't this also a no-brainer? You see, I'm blind, and I only have one arm...... Woo, huh? Lu Xi moved the arm of his left hand, and the long-lost touch made him very happy, and he had a little urge to tears for a while.
The resurrection should have such a benefit. Merely...... Lu Xi touched his eyes, still couldn't see anything, and sighed.
Sure enough, his blindness was directly acting on the soul realm, but physical rehabilitation could not do anything about this kind of damage. Even if you go to Cloudsdale and invite a large number of high-level priests to jointly heal, you don't know how much time it will take. It's hard to say whether it's successful or not, and some things that are not good for outsiders are likely to be exposed.
Well, that's all you have to do, right? Lu Xi said to himself.
He placed his hand on the World Tree Scepter and once again injected all of his spiritual power into the circle. In an instant, the circle, which had begun to slowly stagnate, turned rapidly again.
This time, there will be no one to disturb you. He said.
"It has been said that every resurrection is a great burden on the soul. This is a very mysterious wound that you can't feel even if you heal it with the deepest divine arts, maybe you can't feel it now, but in old age, no, or in another ten or twenty years......"
"I get it, little Kitty. But, as I have already said, there is no way around it. After all, a blind man with only one hand left, in the face of the siege of three bosses, it is the best choice to immediately flip the table and let them exit. Yes, I know it's a heavy price, but there are things that always have to be done. β
"What the hell do you have to do?" The voice of the little machine spirit was a little excited. This was the first time she had argued with Lu Xi in such an excited tone.
However, the latter chuckled and smiled inexplicably: "I don't know! β
"The host ......"
"Yes, there are many things in this world that have to be done, and there are many things that can be fooled. If you treat everything as the former, you will become stubborn and paranoid and even turn into a disaster, but if you treat everything as the latter, you will just become a waste of laziness. I don't really know how to distinguish between the two, or rather, no one in this world can really tell the difference between them, not even the goddess sisters in the sky. So, I had to rely on my feelings. β
As Lu Xi spoke, he stretched out his two hands, hugged the model of light of the island that was already floating in front of him, and slowly groped. He was like a child carefully studying a piece of plasticine, carefully kneading and squeezing. In the eyes of adults, he is playing, but in the eyes of children, he is creating the world.
Now, this small world is about to take shape in Lu Xi's hands.
"Kitty, you know, for these things that have to be done, for these things that can't even be sure if it's necessary, too many people have put their lives on the altar. They only have one life, and they do it without hesitation. Compared to them, I am not even qualified to mention the word sacrifice. So, Kitty, stand side by side with me. It's like a thousand years ago, you and the Great Sage of Laxis stood side by side. β
Speaking of this, Lu Xi suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "In addition, there is no need to be so heavy, take it easy." I actually agree with Daddy Cam's words. This world is really not so superficial that it must rely on the sacrifices of the Seven-Colored Rose Sect Masters to be saved. I'm not prepared to sacrifice, and I'm going to stop it! β
"If this kind of world-restructuring magic fails, the backlash will only be applied to the body. The impact on the spiritual realm is enough to annihilate your soul, and even the goddesses can't save you! Kitty wanted to say that, but this time, the little machine spirit of the World Tree Scepter didn't say anything. She sighed very humanely, stopped talking, and poured all her spirituality into the circle.
If I fail, I'll go up in smoke with my current little master. I really don't want to change owners so soon!
Lu Xi felt the cooperation of the brilliant artifact, which was also a clear feeling he had never had. The small world in his hand became clearer and more real. He could even see the mountains, grasslands, and rivers above, as well as the wildlife that inhabited them.
"This is my world...... Now, I'm bringing you back. Lu Xi muttered.
However, at this moment, the light curtain once again unfolded beside Lu Xi, revealing the figure of Rassell.
He silently looked at the small world formed in Lu Xi's hands, with surprise, nervousness, appreciation, and even a hint of jealousy, and said: "Teacher Orucello said that it is knowledge and penance that determine the lower limit of a magician, but it is imagination that determines the upper limit. If that's the case, then that alone makes it possible for you to surpass Orucello-sensei. I really didn't think that you would use such a way, such a grand and spectacular way to destroy the defenses of the Spiral Fortress. Sometimes, I can't help but complain about the goddess, why not give me such a gift? β
"I know how hard this old antique tortoise shell is. Even if I hit a hundred Gustavs, it would take at least seven or eight salvos to completely break his defensive shield, and by that time it would be too late to do anything. Lu Xi replied without raising his head: "In addition, you don't have to be presumptuous, at least I haven't thought about replacing the Eye of Iosius with a large guide furnace to restore the combat power of this big antique." You think so, you do it, take 10,000 steps back, and at least be proud of your actions. β
"Huh...... I've heard you pursue me many times, but only this time, it's the most sincere. He laughed for a moment, then pulled his face up, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Xi, it's not too late, stop the magic circle, you won't suffer any backlash." β
Lu Xi sneered and did not answer. If it weren't for the fact that the other party still had a little friendship, maybe it would have been ridiculed.
"Well, it's really humiliating to say such nonsense. However, after all, I have reached this age, so it is understandable that I will have Alzheimer's. The old mage laughed self-deprecatingly: "Then tell the truth." By now, the Titan Bow is halfway charged, and looking at this rhythm, before the charge is complete, the fortress will be hit by the world fragments that you pulled from nowhere. So, if so, are you willing to give up? β
Lu Xi's side once again unfolded another light curtain. Above, a device that looked like an oversized bed crossbow slipped out of the gun emplacements behind the walls. Its bowed back has a mighty wingspan, and arrows slowly pop out of the eagle's mouth at the front end. It looks down on the world below like an eagle looking for prey. In the lonely night sky below, you can see a brightly lit and noisy city.
It was burning, boiling, tormenting, but also Elichar in the midst of change.
"This is the elven gravity arrow, originally used to deal with the flying forces of the Gelsars and demons. A single shot can create a huge gravitational field with a diameter of tens of meters, and all the people and objects inside will be sucked and smashed to the ground. If such a weapon were to attack a ground target, it would at most blast out a crater of tens of meters, but if it hit a floating island, even I don't know what the result would be. β
Why the floating island hovers in the sky is still a mystery to this day. What is certain, however, is that some of the advanced magic that manipulates gravity can indeed have a bad effect on floating rocks and even some small islands. Magic is like this, and the magic weapons developed by mortal elves are naturally the same.
"Right now, a total of fifty gravity arrows are aiming at Elichar. Lu Xi, even if this is the case, are you not willing to give up? β
Once all the cannons are fired, who can guarantee that Elichar will not fall into the sea and reduce the capital of the Federation to dust along with the millions of citizens on it?
Lu Xi paused, listening intently to the movement in the corridor in the distanceβthe battle between the elves and the ancient puppets was still fierce. The figures of Kirit and Archduke Teresa were even completely hidden in the sword light, and they could no longer be seen. No one dared to be distracted in the slightest, let alone have a chance to think about the situation here. They didn't even notice that Lu Xi flew with the three bosses just now, let alone come over to support at this time.
Lu Xi shook his head and sneered again: "Then you will shoot!" β
Russell's face showed a look of consternation that was visible to the naked eye.
"Hurry up and shoot, if you don't shoot, I'm going to look down on you!" Lu Xi said again.
The stunned look on Rassell's face instantly became a little more panicked, and finally turned into a retreat.
"Oh, it looks like I don't dare." Lu Xi laughed out loud, and there was a hint of happiness in his tone that he didn't even notice it: "Look, you are a patriot after all." You love this hopeless country, and you love these sentient beings who will not start to rebel until the last moment, so even if you are a bad party, you are half-. So why force yourself to do something you're not good at? It's you who want to stop. Looking back now, no one will hold you accountable, no one knows what role you are playing here. Peace will be restored to the Federation and there will be a glorious future, I assure you. β
Rassell smiled bitterly and waved his hand, allowing the gravity crossbowmen to return to the gun position, and said with emotion: "You're right, Lu Xi, I am indeed a patriot. It is impossible to really sink Elichar and millions of people into the sea...... Although, when I deliberately allowed or even promoted the outbreak of civil war, plunging tens of millions of federal people into war, I was no longer qualified to say such things. No matter how much struggle and unbearability, it is hypocrisy and hypocrisy. However, at this moment, if I turn back, I will be irresponsible for my own life! Lu Xi, is the future you are describing a future that follows Auckland and eats a little scraps? β
It's the future of following the Rotary Club and eating leftovers! This is the ultimate pursuit of capitalists. It's just that I'm really not good at telling outsiders about this kind of thing. In addition, even if it is leftover cold rice, it must be much more delicious and nutritious than the current big meal.
Lu Xi also sighed in his heart. This is a matter of three views, and it is impossible for anyone to convince anyone.
"I'm sorry, Lu Xi, I didn't want you to get involved in this kind of thing, or at least I didn't want you to become a great enemy that must be eliminated. However, fate will never let you get your wish forever. With that, Master Rassell lowered his eyelids and closed the light curtain.
This was probably the last time we could have a "friendly" conversation, right? Lu Xi thought.
The thought had just passed through his mind when a loud chant suddenly rang out in the sky above him.
It was the voice of Master Russell, but at this time it seemed majestic, solemn, and breathtaking, like rolling thunder churning through the sky.
"Storm Whisper? Dragon language? No, he's using the Storm Whisper to drive the Dragon Spell! Does this say that there is no imagination? β
Lu Xi's brief shock quickly turned into a real threat. He was sure that Master Russell was still in the central control hall, but before his people arrived, the dragon spell had already swept through the sky like a storm, pulling out a strong spell structure, and then condensed into a boiling chain of lightning and whistling down.
This is an over-the-horizon strike that belongs to the caster's domain!
