Chapter 144: Elegy, Soul Suppression! Ⅱ
After coming to this world, it was the first time that Glo had done this kind of difficult team dungeon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoUnlike the previous "Easter egg" nature of [Tomb of the Dead], the "Angus's Elegy Temple" dungeon is distributed with many powerful undead creatures and dangerous traps, and every step must be taken with care.
He glanced at the astonished crowd and finally remembered that he was no longer the same player in the game - but he still had the habit of being a player, carrying some food with him in his package, and seizing the gap between battles to replenish everything. After all, food is cheaper and more affordable than expensive potions and potions. Anytime you are out of combat, taking a few bites of food and fruit from your package to recover in order to keep your health and mana full has become a ingrained habit in your daily routine.
Miss Lena was holding an apple in each hand, looking at him in wonder—after the previous battle in the "Blood Corridor" and the running in the labyrinth of the "Hall of Silence", the team had not rested from beginning to end. Although with the careful care of Divine Officer Winnie Karami, the physical condition of the team members has been very good along the way, but the reserve of mana?
Glo clearly remembered that in that dimly lit and winding corridor of more than three hundred meters, Miss Lena kept releasing fireballs of various sizes all the way, and according to the upper limit of the mage mana pool of about LV23, even if there was still her mana left, it would not be too much. At the very least, it will definitely not be enough to deal with the battle ahead.
In the setting of "Strife", in addition to meditation, there are only two means: food or mana potion. Others don't have to worry, physical classes like Ranger and Knight don't require the use of mana, but Priest Winnie, whose healing skills come from divine powers, is granted permission to borrow the power of the gods through the prayer of the heart, and there are no mana worries. Therefore, the only one who needs to replenish mana is Miss Lena Barros, the only mage in the team.
She didn't know about such a thing?
Glo looked at the two ripe apples that Lena was playing with in her hand and did not answer, he thought about it, and in order to ensure that there would be no leaks in the battle later, he decided to say it bluntly:
"Lena, is your mana enough?"
"Well, it's still in a very full state."
The red-haired girl nodded, she seemed to understand the swordsman's thoughts, and said, "Are you planning for me to eat these two apples to restore mana?" But it's just a very common breed, and it doesn't have that effect. ”
She stood up and made her way to Glo's side. In that package, there were a few yellow, orange and orange pears, long strips of white bread, and slices of smoked turkey thighs wrapped in oiled paper...... "Goo-goo-", someone's eyes saw these foods, and his belly suddenly screamed.
The eyes of the group quickly focused, and Miss Knight's face was flushed and almost dripping blood—she admitted that she was indeed a little hungry after some strenuous activity. But the food had been brought by the abominable fellow, and she couldn't open her mouth for a moment.
This guy was on her "list of the most abominable."
However, Glo didn't think too much about it, and since the food was no longer functioning as it used to be, he was happy to lower his weight. He spread out the package on the steps and began to beckon his teammates to enjoy it—Miss Lena put back the apple and picked up a fragrant pear, and Cody, Lars, and Winnie joined in.
Lars came up to Alyssa, and handed over the white bread and smoked turkey legs—the knight gave him a faint look, took the food, and began to chew silently.
A few minutes later.
This food was quickly shared in front of the six inaugurants. Glo wiped the food crumbs off the wrapping cloth, got up and clapped his hands, then shouted to his teammates, "The Last Elegy, let's go!" ”
……
"Damn the crumbs!"
"Disobedient" Angus Rosenthal was pinching a crystal test tube with two bone fingers hanging with fragments of rotting flesh in his hand, but the sudden spiritual power message from the soul fire made him tremble, and the milky white liquid in those test tubes shook and almost spilled.
"What happened? Angus. ”
Eddie Grigory, leader of the undead in Dir, master of Necropolis City, and speaker of the Council of the Dead, stood at the other end of the experimental table. Angus has always been known for his profound knowledge and suave demeanor, and it is difficult to see him so out of shape that he does not hesitate to explode into foul language.
Eddie stopped the procedure, the golden soul fire swaying in his eyes.
"Nina's message from the Tower."
"Urgent?"
"Something happened to Nina. I don't know exactly what happened yet, but the message isn't going well. ”
"Well, my friend, you should hurry back as soon as possible."
In this secluded, vast basement, several lichs from the Council of the Dead are working together on a complex and massive experiment. According to the prospect of the Speaker Gregory and Head Researcher Angus, the experiment is so great that if it is successful, it will take an unimaginable leap forward in the strength of the entire realm of the dead.
But now, Angus, who was the core tester, was leaving suddenly, and the test had to be temporarily suspended. Although Eddie, the speaker of the parliament, did not say anything, the other lichs expressed some dissatisfaction.
In that crystal water pipe, the milky white liquid gradually formed two layers with clear boundaries over the top and turbidity at the bottom as time passed. When a lich in a gray cloak saw this, he shook his head and sighed:
"What a shameful waste! For an insignificant woman. ”
"Hey, how can you, a guy who has been single for a thousand years, understand the deep affection of Angus and his wife?"
The other lich laughed hoarsely at the "quack" of a broken gong.
"Angus's Elegy Temple".
Glo and his teammates stopped at the top of the steps, the entrance of the palace - his gaze swept over the palace scene, under the cold white light, the interior space was the size of a professional football field in the previous life, between a dozen or so thick round stone pillars supporting the top, and in the very center, a huge statue stood alone.
It is a statue of a knight, at least eight meters tall with a man and a horse. Glo secretly compared his height, and he took Kia's toy hunting bow from his back once more, and took a long breath.
This is a temple of elegy, and the emptiness and calm of the eyes does not mean that there is no peace. He knew that when his arrow fell, a fierce battle was about to follow.
Glo's memory is still deep.
He also remembered the setting of this dungeon and the AI of the monsters, as well as the experiences that once belonged to the player.
Under his methodical command, the members of the procession entered the interior against the carved walls of the palace, and then, standing between the inner walls and the two thick stone pillars behind the door.
These are two easy positions to defend.
This time, because of the distance, Glo used a projectile, and the bamboo arrow cut a weak parabola in mid-air and landed diagonally on the statue.
While!
Arrows fell from the statue to the floor. Glo dropped his hunting bow and shrugged down behind the pillar on his right. The team of six people was divided into two teams in two positions - on the left, Cody, Elisa, and Miss Lena. On the right, he, Lars, and Priest Winnie.
Five, four, three...... Glo said softly, and although Lars and Winnie around him didn't understand what he was doing, an atmosphere of nervousness quietly permeated his heart.
All of them held their breath.
There was a rustling sound in the palace. Lars poked his head out from behind the stone pillar and was instantly stunned!
It was so dense that it was impossible to count the number of skeleton warriors, and they appeared in groups in the palace. Armed with short swords and round shields, they passed through the stone pillars and walked towards the doorway. In the midst of this tidal skeleton warrior, there is also a guy with an unusually tall stature.
A knight on a skeletal warhorse! Compared with normal humans, whether it is a skeleton war horse or a knight on a horse, it is a terrifying size magnified several times.
Following Lars' line of sight, Glo could already see the knights' appearances—like the majestic hoplites in the war paintings and artworks collected by the nobles. The knight is heavily armed, and the armor coverage is not much better than the "Cursed Armorer" encountered at the beginning of the team. The swarthy armor with a cold, metallic sheen had a hideous style, with several curved barbs scattered across his knees, elbows, and shoulders, and he held a sharp spear flat, with only a vague shadow visible beneath his helmet and visor.
And the skeletal war horse under him is also covered with a layer of armor connected by metal scales.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the palace.
The knight turned his head, as if searching for something.
Lars' teeth chattered a little, "This—this is the Dreadknight, how could we get into trouble with such a monster......"
"This guy just looks scary, Lars, did you notice the warhorse underneath him?"
"The mounts of the Dread Knights are all Dread Horses."
Winnie said calmly behind her, and the young girl did not look the slightest frightened when she saw what she saw. Her light amber eyes widened, staring at the unusually tall figure.
"There is no use of a war scythe, and judging by the momentum, it doesn't look like a real dread knight at all."
"So, it's just a bluff."
"Mr. Swordsman, you mean we can kill him?"
Glo nodded, his ease and confidence, as well as the rationale analysis of the priest Winnie, finally made Lars fade from his fear. He wiped the sweat from the palm of his sword, and gradually became calm.
The skeleton warriors had already pounced.
Under Glo's explanation, the three noble knights just stood cautiously in place, blocking the skeleton warriors' attacks at a glance, and the two narrow positions were like horns, which determined that each team member would face no more than three skeletons at most - the skeleton warriors in the back were squeezed into each other so that they couldn't move, including the giant version of the knight, who was wrapped in the middle by a group of bone racks, motionless, as if returning to the original statue form.
Glo swung his sword and swung away the skeletal warrior's clumsy attack, grinning, under his command, he and the three noble knights always maintained this unhurried defensive posture, while Miss Lena and the priest Winnie threw fireballs and holy lights from behind - this is the experience of the "Angus Elegy Palace" dungeon summarized by players in previous lives, using the mentally retarded monster AI and collision volume to achieve loss-free clearance.
Time passed little by little, and everyone in the team laughed, and the danger that they had thought was spent in this form was completely the difference between heaven and earth. Glo once again deeply understood the meaning of Miss Lena's "humanoid self-propelled artillery", and the priest behind him, Winnie, had stopped releasing the Holy Light Technique in order to ensure the basic divine power, while the red-haired girl still did not show fatigue when she waved her staff.
A steady, high-frequency rhythm bombarded the dense crowd of skeleton warriors wave after wave. However, she has now adjusted her aim at Glo's instructions, and the spell locks are all aimed at the knight, "Swift the Obsessive".
What a poor boss!
Glo sighed. He understands the true strength of this BOSS, and kills it with such a contrary cognition, I have to say that this is Chiguoguo's teasing. However, such a situation is almost impossible to appear in front of the player. It's hard to find a talent with almost infinite mana like Miss Lina, among players of this quest level.
After killing some of the skeleton warriors, it was Glo's plan to attack Swift the Obsessive with all his might.
He knew that the boss was set to go berserk when his health dropped to 30% of his upper health limit. And these skeleton warriors who are clogged up will be reduced to poor cannon fodder under the indiscriminate attack of this boss after going berserk. Gain time for their next battle adjustment.
……
The Fireball drew a blazing straight trajectory in the air, flew over the heads of the skeleton warriors, and exploded on the body of Swift the Obsessive. The impact of the flames made his body shake slightly, and two blood-colored red rays gradually appeared in the blurred shadows under the mask.
Glo knew that the battle was about to take to the next stage—
"Swift the Obsessive" suddenly roared angrily, he swung his spear and slammed it, a circle of white ripples scattered around his body, ripples violently reverberated in the air, this blow undoubtedly caused great damage to the skeleton warriors, as the ripples hit the wall and refracted back, all the skeleton warriors were reduced to pieces.
Glo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that his life had been reduced by one-third in the [System].
"The Obsession's Roar" - the boss's signature attack when it enters a berserk state, this time the damage is simply impossible to avoid and dodge.
