Chapter 149: The Dark Temple

Dark, twisted underground temples. Romance debuts

On the obsidian altar, a priest in a purple-trimmed black robe kneels in front of the idol, his eyes closed behind a cold mask, and a crystal ball as transparent as glass in his hands.

Bane's body is actually ugly, like a crude green-skinned orc, but when Bane sends avatars to the physical realm, the image is usually a handsome, modest black-haired man dressed in well-cut and elegant clothing. And the six- or seven-meter statue of the god that now stands on the obsidian altar is also the image of Bane's incarnation, not the main body.

The temple was filled with a solemn voice.

Like the winds of darkness swirling through the temple, there was always a strange sound coming from the silent space, sometimes like the laughter of a child, sometimes like marbles falling and rolling. This is the perfect atmosphere of a horror movie, even the most powerful male gamer in the temple will tremble his legs.

"Smack"

Suddenly, the sound of glass bursting resounded through the temple.

The priest who was kneeling on the ground stood up with panic in his eyes, looked at the crystal ball fragments scattered on the altar, and then looked at his bloody palm, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

This is not an ordinary crystal ball, but a prophecy artifact with advanced prophecy attached. Just now, the dark priest was activating the treasure, divining the good luck and evil of tonight's evacuation activity, but unexpectedly, the crystal ball exploded directly, what does this mean?

The dark priest's eyes changed for a while, and he shouted at the empty temple: "Colin, Kosai, go out and investigate immediately, and report back no matter what you find." ”

"Yes......"

A dull voice came from the shadows in the corner of the temple. The two knights in full armor, who looked like statues, came to life, and a pair of crimson eyes under the helmet mask showed a cold color.

Bang. Bang.

The full-body armor knight was moving, and if Charles was here, he would definitely be able to tell at the first time that these were two dark guards, and they were also exemplary level dark guards.

"I'm going to have to prepare too......"

"The fall of the Fist of Vengeance is strange, and the Lord's Mansion of Arabe may have pried out the location of the temple from someone's mouth, and it is already being laid out."

Watching the two Dark Guards walk out of the main hall, the priest on the obsidian altar muttered to himself. As he pulled out his gold emblem, he stepped down from the altar.

"[Badge of Pain]!"

"[Sleeping Emblem]!"

With a spell in his mouth, the Dark Priest first threw a five-ring magic spell at the large columns on both sides of the main hall entrance.

Emblem of Pain (Five Rings): After the rune is triggered. Nearby creatures will be tormented in agony. ”

"[Emblem of Sleep] (Five Rings): When the rune is triggered, nearby creatures will fall into a stiff, morbid slumber."

Two strings of runes filled with dark aura disappeared one after another on the pillars on the left and right sides.

These are just two five-ring magic techniques.

The high priest of the temple at the hero level can cast the seven-ring divine art, and there are a terrifying number of spell slots. The effect is also perverted. For example, the damage of [Sword Blade Barrier] (Six Rings) is related to the class level, and if you release it and walk into the crowd, you can kill a large number of people in seconds.

Even clerical priests above level 30 already possess the ability to change nature. This can be confirmed by [manipulating the weather] (the seven rings) and changing the weather conditions in a certain area.

Moreover, high-level spellcasters can be said to be difficult to kill, even if the priest's spell list among spellcasters is relatively hard, but there are also escape spells like [Walking in the Wind] (Six Rings), [Return to the Mantra] (Six Rings), and [Transfiguration Spirit] (Seven Rings).

Therefore, even though the Dark Priest foresaw the danger of tonight through the prophecy of the treasure, he did not choose to abandon the temple and flee immediately. It is out of confidence in one's ability to save one's life.

"Mahi, go and gather the temple guards and the group of believers, and let them gather in front of the main temple and swear to defend the temple to the death." The Dark Priest said in a deep voice, "I'll wake up the portal to Susar, and I'll be able to complete the power clearing in the middle of the night......"

"Snort"

A blood-colored bat flew out of the beam of the temple and landed on the ground, transforming into a plump and bewitching woman wearing red tight leather armor.

"Follow your instructions." The bewitching woman chuckled, jumping and turning into a cloud of black mist. Swift out of the temple.

"The twin Darkguards, Colin and Corsay, should be able to hold back for a while."

"Mahi will give the aggressor a taste of the fear of being dominated by the Bloodline."

"I need to get in touch with Susar as soon as possible, and let me wake up the sealed portal with me......"

The Dark Priest looked down and thought for a moment, then turned and walked into the apse.

……

Night shrouded the aristocratic district of Arabe.

Tonight's aristocratic district is especially quiet, and there is no one on the block. If one looks closely, one may be able to see that there are a large number of garrisons stationed at every important street.

Leading these garrisons was Harris, a member of the Tiger clan. Harris is not as well-known as Alva in Cormier, but he is also a heroic Overseer. With him personally leading the troops to blockade the aristocratic district, other small nobles didn't dare to come out at all, let alone those rats who were already doing shady things.

"Is this the house?"

Twilight's Blade: 2,000 players surround a mansion.

Charles, Yuffie and the others stood in front of the village. Several Barbarian players were instructed to come forward and violently dismantle the gate.

"Huddle up."

"Don't scatter."

"The caster throws the detection spell, and watch out for the hidden secret door."

Two thousand players who received orders poured into the manor.

When the others were gone, Charles, Yuffe, Haunted Dreams, Fingertip Quicksand, Udicz and Meloti, as well as Alva and the two hundred purple dragon guards he led, walked quickly into the manor.

"This turned out to be a viscount's mansion."

"But the viscount cut off the incense, and the town hall sold the mansion to a wealthy merchant...... Now it seems that the rich merchant was actually a Bahn believer in disguise. ”

Meloti had detailed information about the buildings of the aristocratic quarter, after all, the lordess had left the lord's palace to her and the Duke of Raul, who was obsessed with academics, and she single-handedly supported most affairs, and was very prestigious in the municipal system.

The group stood in the courtyard of the manor and waited for the results of the search, no one spoke, and their expressions were all solemn.

“…… I found the secret door! ”

"It's over here!"

Soon after, the shouts of a certain mage player could be heard from the depths of the manor, and the sound of excitement spread far away in the night sky. This is considered a meritorious service, and rewards such as contributions and gold coins will be issued after the guild management reports layer by layer.

But as soon as the voice fell, another terrible cry followed:

"Ah...... There was an ambush. What the hell is this......"

Charles stared slightly, and whispered to Yufie: "Tell your people to withdraw, don't go near the secret door, and let the purple dragon guards in front!" ”

"The Dark Temple is already prepared. It's an uphill battle! Charles sighed.

The female president moved quickly and disappeared, and the first few people went into the depths of the manor.

"General Alva, please lead the Purple Dragon Guards to sweep the temple, and the Holy Coming Legion will follow you." He turned to the hero pro.

"Where the duty lies."

Alva had a solemn expression and bowed slightly to Charles. He pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted to the two hundred purple dragon guards: "The time has come for bloody struggle!" ”

"There's a temple of evil gods ahead."

"It spreads evil beliefs in Arabe, weaves conspiracies, creates chaos, and tries to make Arabe fear and weep under the darkness of the evil gods."

"The Purple Dragon Knight is Cormier's sharpest sword. Soldiers, tell me, what to do now? ”

The sword was pointed at the bright moon, and the moonlight sprinkled on Alva and his silver armor, and with this subdued and frustrating speech, there was a magical power that inspired people's hearts.

"Sweep!"

"Sweep away all evil!"

Two hundred purple dragon guards shouted in unison.

Meantime. A systematic text appeared in front of Charles's eyes:

"You've gained a morale boost."

"[Morale Boost]: Starting at level 2, the Purple Dragon Knight can give an inspirational speech to motivate nearby allies, and each affected creature, including the Knight itself, gains +2 Morale Immunity and +1 Attack and Weapon Damage Bonus against the Charm and Fear effects."

A wide range of group motivational abilities, similar to the Bard's morale playing, will automatically grant the Aura status to all allies who can hear the speech.

Alva held his silver sword aloft.

He had no shield and a composite longbow of good quality on his back. And. Charles followed behind Alva and the Purple Dragon Guard, and noticed that Alva's longsword was glowing with a strange magical aura in the moonlight, and threads of intertwined and twisted runes appeared on the blade.

"At least a purple quality sword."

"The effect of the runes is unknown." Charles squinted slightly.

A secret door to the underground temple. Tucked away in a tower deep inside the manor.

The tower was three stories tall and looked shabby on the outside, but Charles had just stepped within ten meters of the tower when his nose wrinkled, and he keenly smelled an unconcealed dark aura.

It's exuberant, it's full-bodied.

It was as if the tower was hiding a dimensional passage to the bottomless abyss. Similar feelings. Charles had experienced it in the Temple of Nightshade.

Twilight's 2,000 players have three floors inside and three outside the tower.

"I smell the creatures of Purgatory."

"Filth must be cleaned up!"

Alva said in a deep voice, holding the silver sword in one hand, and stepped into the bottom of the tower with a calm face.

"Boom"

A sword cyclone shook the night sky, as if some creature had been killed, and the screams before death were very similar to those of crows.

"Purgatory ravens?"

Charles probably guessed what the creature was, nodded to Yufi and the others, and motioned to follow.

Several people followed the purple dragon guards into the bottom of the tower.

The ground floor was empty, there were no furnishings, a secret door at least four or five meters wide, floating in the middle of the room, wisps of black mist were constantly leaking out.

A purgatory raven, several times larger than a normal bird and about the size of an adult giant eagle, was split in two with a sword, and its body fell in front of the secret door, bright red with black evil blood flowing into the cracks of the floor tiles. (To be continued.) )xh118
