Chapter 175: When things go wrong, there must be demons
"Here?"
When Locke came back to his senses, he found himself alone in the ruins, and the moment he entered the Black Realm, all the family members around him disappeared.
The area where I am now looks like an ancient ruin that has been ravaged by fierce war, and the ruins look worse than the ruins of the four-armed demon.
Locke looked up at the sky and the sun was shining, but he didn't feel the glare - the sun was false.
Locke suddenly understood that this was an illusion, and it should be one, or all, of the means of defense in the Black Domain.
Turning his head to look around, this is a big head, among his subordinates, the three demons, Nemesses and vampires, Locke didn't care, he was afraid of Annie, as the spirit of the castle, she must not be fine.
After walking through the broken wall for a long time, Locke found that he seemed to be trapped, and the scenery around him was almost the same back and forth, no matter how he walked, he was back to the same place, just like the infinite world of his own prairie, and then immediately stopped this meaningless walking.
What to do?
At this time, the stones on the ground not far from the side moved, and Locke, who was thinking, turned his head to look at it, and was stunned for a moment.
It's Amy.
"What's going on in this place, I've got to take a shower when I go back." Amy complained while looking down and patting the dress on her body, and when she looked up and saw Locke, she was immediately happy, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, why are you ......?"
Boom ββ!
She was answered by Locke's heavy punch that landed on the ground next to her, and the violent shockwave mixed with magnetoelectric currents directly lifted 'Amy' into the air, after she rolled to the ground......
Boom ββ!
This time, along with the shockwave, there were circles of cold crystals, and Amy was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture and stuck to the ground unable to move.
From the beginning to the end, Locke didn't say half a word of nonsense, the move was fatal, he didn't give the other party any chance to react, and the battle ended in the blink of an eye.
"Who are you?" As Locke approached, one foot was placed on the face of the frozen 'Amy', who was lying on the ground.
At this time, Locke's eyes were glowing green, and his tone and eyes revealed a strong murderous aura, as long as he used force, he was guaranteed to be able to step on the head of this knock-off into meat sauce.
"You...... Why can you see through ......" Its voice sounded unusually sharp and deep, sounding like the roar of an old witch.
"Don't talk nonsense! Who are you?! Where are the others?! Locke's tone became more and more impatient, and the force on his feet suddenly increased.
After the guy on the ground felt the increased force, his pupils contracted, and finally as if he wanted to struggle, he changed back to Amy's voice and said, "I'm Amy, you don't recognize ......"
Bumper ββ!
Its head shattered, but instead of red plasma, it was left with a green substance that looked like it had been trampled on, and what looked like some kind of plant.
Originally, I wanted to torture it, but the other party had already recognized it and didn't plan to say it, so there was no need to waste any more time.
Locke frowned at the things on the ground and thought to himself, 'This guy came to deceive me in the form of Amy, and she didn't seem to know that Amy called me differently than everyone else. β
Other people call Locke either King or His Royal Highness, only Amy is called 'brother-in-law' from beginning to end, and the monster just now used honorifics, which is definitely not something that the girl who is not big or small can say, so Locke directly beat the other party to death, because he knew that Amy would not use honorifics to anyone, including his brother-in-law.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
"I can judge that way, but what about the others?"
That's what worries Locke the most. To put it mildly, his men were no different from retarded in his eyes, except for Rhaetia, of course, but almost all of them, including his two sisters-in-law, were on the same level as Anne.
"It's not the time to think about that." Locke shook his head, took out his ordinary leather gloves from the spatial ring, put them on, reached out and grabbed the green substance on the ground to take a look, stood up and turned around and slammed it back...... Nothing worked.
"Its blood is not the key to breaking the maze."
Locke finished judging with great speed, turned his head to look at the ground around him, and secretly thought about observation.
"Huh?"
After a while, Locke noticed that on the surrounding messy ground, there were a little green marks, like traces left by something that had passed by, and this trajectory extended all the way to the green grassland in front of him, and then disappeared - that grassland Locke had been to before, and he couldn't get there at all, and he would always return here after he passed.
"I see."
Locke finally breathed a sigh of relief, if he said that he walked around, he would indeed go back to the same place, and if he followed the green mark on the ground, then the exit would be there.
Indeed, as Locke had suspected, the exit had been found, but this time the surroundings changed, and they came to a nearby wasteland full of rubble.
In the distance, Locke saw a familiar figure - Ghoul Captain Caesar and Anne on its back.
β......β
Locke did not step forward, but after looking at it from a distance, it seemed that there was no problem, and Anne saw the beautiful wildflowers as before, and then got down from Caesar's back to pick them, and Caesar bit the hem of her skirt to stop her from leaving.
"Annie." Locke screamed, but just stood there and didn't pass.
When the little girl heard this, she immediately turned her head, and immediately flapped her wings with a cheer and flew towards Locke, and when she came to him, she put the wreath on her head and asked, "Is it good-looking, Your Highness?" β
β......β
Ay.......
The owner of this illusion is really enough, presumably the guy left by the previous generations of lords has not run away, and he has not even changed his name.
Anne doesn't call him His Highness, only the Dukes of Hell or their families left over from previous generations.
"Beautiful." Locke smiled and looked at the 'Annie' in front of him, and he didn't make a move, because he found that Caesar, who was bowing his head to him in front of him, was real - it could be seen from the fact that it had been carefully protecting the fake 'Annie' before, and with the unique salute now, it was indeed his own stormtrooper captain who did not run away.
And if you kill 'Annie' in front of it now, it's guaranteed to make this guy crazy, and even if it doesn't, the blow to its heart will be quite huge, and it's hard to guarantee that it won't leave a psychological shadow or something.
"Did you see anyone else, Caesar?" Locke didn't ask 'Annie', but directly to Caesar, the unusual behavior didn't attract the ghoul's attention, he just shook his head and said he didn't know.
It seems that everyone, including the ghouls, has been separated.
Locke watched Caesar silently, realizing that this illusion, which separates everyone and then breaks them down, is indeed an effective defense mechanism.
It's just that the other party didn't directly kill now, maybe because the owner of the illusion was seriously injured, or for other reasons.
'Why don't you send a Tier 6 Crusader?' ........ Maybe they all died when they defended in the previous generation. β
Locke imagined the tragic scene at that time, and estimated that the original invaders were isolated in batches as soon as they entered, and then the Lord of Illusion immediately sent crusaders to start besieging them, but the people who invaded here were basically the elite of the elite, because all the cannon fodder killed Gillias in the desert.
The final result can be imagined, all the troops were killed in battle, and the last master of the illusion estimated what means he used to escape, and only now has he recovered a little vitality.
Some holy spells can damage demons permanently.
Looking at 'Annie' with fluttering wings in front of him, Locke grabbed her shoulders with both hands, looked into her eyes, and asked, "Are you a soldier left behind by the Lord of Flame Castle?" If yes, then I now order you to ......."
"You have no right to command me! Usurper! β
At this time, Annie's eyes became extremely cold, and her voice became a synthesized sound with multiple sharp voices overlapping each other, "The Lord of the Holy Demon will eventually return to this territory that belongs to her!" Your reign will not last! β
Looking at her crazy appearance, Locke sighed helplessly.
That's why the castle erases all the surviving soldiers' memories of the previous lord when the lord changes.
The fear is that there will be a die-hard fan of the previous lord in front of him, and fortunately, its current strength is not very good, if it is a duke, then the resulting disaster will probably be unimaginable.
However, the ninth-order dukes from hell are not so loyal to the current lords, they just regard the lords as bosses, and the change of office is equivalent to changing the boss, who to work for is not to fight.
But the clans made by the lord's own hands are different, just imagine, if Locke's Nemesses were stationed here, they would definitely tear the next lord who broke into here to shreds.
"It seems that this black domain is indeed isolated from the entire castle, and from the best convenience, it is entirely possible that the light equipment here has been preserved."
As he spoke, Locke turned his head to look at the ghoul next to him, whose mouth was wide open and his face was stunned, and in his impression, Anne would never speak to the king in such an arrogant tone!
"It's not Annie." Locke grabbed the elf's neck and said to Caesar, "It's the administrator of this dark realm, do you understand now?" β
The ghoul turned to look at the elf with hideous faces, and she looked more and more crazy as she struggled with Locke's pincer-like hands.
"Hissββ!"
Eventually, Caesar began to grin at 'Annie'.
"Good." As soon as Locke exerted his strength, the elf suddenly lost his breath, and after being thrown to the ground, it slowly turned into a puddle of green liquid.
It didn't do anything to Caesar, probably trying to take him as a younger brother.
Looking at the ghoul in front of him, Locke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this is the first to be recovered, as for the guys behind, I hope they are not harmed.
But I guess it's enough.
Locke simulated in his mind: if he was the master of the illusion, what would he do?
In the end, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, if he continued according to his own strategy, everyone would have to explain here!
"Now I just want it to have the same IQ as Anne, or it's over!" Thinking of this, Locke bowed his head and shouted, "Let's go!" Caesar! β
Hissββ!
Following the subtle green trails on the ground, Locke quickly found an exit, and the next scene was a rolling meadow.
In front, a bright figure stood there quietly with his back to Locke.
"Wait." Locke followed the ghoul head that he was going to run forward, and he slowly crouched down and said quietly, "Doris is the most dangerous, even I can't get out of her hands, if this is true......"
At this time, the girl wearing a fox mask and holding a scabbard in front of her noticed the movement behind her.
Locke and Caesar watched her quietly.
"Hum~~ββ!!"
This guy directly backhanded a wind blade skill, ploughed the ground and slashed viciously!
MD: This guy is real! (To be continued)
