Chapter 138: Roaring
Walking in the lightless traces, Roland and Gahalad did not dare to let their guard down in the slightest.
Even though most of the glimpsed creatures are just Black Iron Tier Evolved Monsters, that doesn't mean they aren't a threat.
By the standards of a Black Iron creature, the challenge of a glimpse creature is a bit too high. They are very agile, extremely bounced, have a higher IQ than the average monster, and will always haunt in groups. In addition, as long as the shadow is stepped on, it will stiffen, paralyze and even freeze, even if it is a strong person of the silver rank, if he is not familiar with the glimpse, he will die miserably.
Of course, with Roland and Gahalad's vitality, Glimpses would definitely not kill them. Although Gahalad didn't make a few shots along the way, he was also a proper Golden Rank. He was clad in a full set of rare-grade enchanted light armor, and he had a Heroic Spirit template that could ignore eighty percent of physical damage, so as long as he didn't enter the core part of the Lightless Scarf, he was absolutely in no danger.
And although Roland is not wearing armor, he has a lord template after all. Five times his health makes it impossible for him to be killed in seconds, and with Roland's will attribute bonus, which is no longer a shortcoming, Roland can pass most shadow-stepping tests.
As long as there is no immobilization effect, even if it is in a paralyzed state, with Roland's physique, he can force it through.
The reason why Roland and Gahalad have been vigilant is because they want to protect Lilia.
After leaving the village yesterday, Roland unexpectedly discovers Lilia's innate ability to predict.
Roland was almost ecstatic at that time.
In fact, one thing can be determined from the internal organs of Duid's divination - that is, the world of Faense today does not have systematic prophetic power at all. Prophecy is the realm of the Latter, and after the fall of the Sage, the sage's most accurate visceral divination can only see what is happening in the past. After that, the prophetic powers of the druids and wizards were little more than a science to be reasonably deduced from known faith.
Lilia's own talent for prophecy that she thinks is "just a little remarkable" is actually quite rare. A true prophet with the ability to "guide the way".
In the original story setting, there is only one person with a talent like her, and that is Merlin, the master of the fifth tower of the White Tower. He was also a Doyd, and had truly awakened his prophetic talent from his training in visceral divination.
From that moment on, he saw the fate that the White Tower was bound to collapse. He joins the White Tower as a wizard. In fact, it is to save the precious material that is in high danger of total destruction, and Merlin believes that the White Tower is a proof of human progress.
He believed that the systematization of wizards and alchemists was the only thing of value that humans had done for hundreds of years.
Turning the theories of ancient mages into practical productivity, it is indeed studied in the direction of improving people's quality of life. Wizards have struggled to make progress over the centuries, and their research is not tolerated. After Gahalad handed over the Holy Grail to the alchemists three hundred years ago, alchemy had a tendency to surpass witchcraft in just three hundred years.
After all, according to orthodoxy, the alchemist is the orthodox heir of the mage. The Wizard is nothing more than a "civilian version" independently developed by Anvilia and the Starcaller.
It can be said that Merlin is the only known prophet in this world. The others are just some magic sticks.
So, after learning about Lilia's abilities. Her status in Roland's heart was suddenly raised by three notches, and she was directly promoted from a well-connected believer to a cardinal candidate.
For Roland, who can't read the files, there is nothing more reliable than having a partner with prophetic powers.
It's like playing a puzzle game with a prompter. Even a short prompt can be a huge help to the puzzle solver.
But fortunately, compared to when Roland first came to the Trace of Light, his current ability has changed drastically.
He was no longer the novice druid who could only fly around with winding and one-third of his normal body weight. When entering the Jungle of Darkness, Roland immediately turned on the silent prayer. The light that would have been able to illuminate the night for sixty yards was compressed to five yards here, as long as they walked a little tighter. It can definitely compress the three of them within the reach of the light.
Glimpses are photophobic after all. Even though the light is much lighter here, it's definitely enough to blind them.
But at this moment. Roland suddenly felt an unusual oppressive force in the air.
The air seemed to freeze. Circles of vague traces like water waves appeared outside Roland's aura, blocked by the aperture.
Because of the silent realm generated by the silent prayer, the voice of the outside world did not come in. But Lilia's face turned white almost instantly, and she immediately covered her heart, revealing a look of pain that she could endure with all her might.
This can be said to be quite a typical way of playing.
Roland immediately realized who the enemy was.
This is a dragon's roar. It's not a sound, it's a psychic ability that can interfere with matter.
For pure-blooded dragon life. Their roar alone was enough to destroy the minds of the enemy. If the enemy's constitution is a little weaker, it is not impossible to directly detonate sudden cardiac death.
It's a glimpse pterodactyl!
Roland was shocked.
But he hesitated slightly, and a strong killing intent suddenly rose.
The Glimpsed Pterodactyl is a treasure all over its body...... Roland didn't get the slashing sword from the Grand Duke of the White Wolf, so he had to make up for it from the Glimpser Pterodactyl, right?
With Gahalad, the top Golden Tier trumpet, as a defender, Roland's output should be enough to kill it quickly before it escapes.
It's not a golden dragon. It's just a wurm with impure blood, and there's nothing to be afraid of. Roland alone killed it at least forty times.
"Gahalad. Get ready...... The enemy is coming. β
Roland said softly, with a serious face.
Hearing this, Gahalad nodded seriously and slowly drew the long sword behind him.
Because he was still in Roland's realm of silence, he didn't speak.
Then, after the first wave of roaring was over, Roland waited for Lilia to recover a little, and the three of them immediately sped up their movements.
While silently rushing forward, Roland unfolded his perception. Despite the considerable suppression here in the Obscure Jungle, the distance is still sufficient if you do not perceive the pterosaur directly, but the person standing on the ground who has entered the battle with it.
While advancing, Roland hurriedly arranged the task in a low voice: "As soon as you enter the battle, you will charge directly and draw the attention of the enemy." β
"If I'm not mistaken, that monster should be a demonized wurm. With the combat power equivalent to that of a Gold-tier professional, we can definitely kill him...... But be careful not to let it run. Otherwise, if it holds a grudge against us, it will be in trouble later. β
"Gahalad, remember not to let its head rush here. It can be taunted, struck on the head with a shield, or forced to stare at you with a tangible threat...... Don't let its head twist. Lilia is protected by me, so you don't need to worry. β
Speaking of which, Roland's perception has already seen the first corpse that has been corroded and died.
"Attention, I'm closing the Silent Barrier, get readyβ"
In order not to be exposed by the light, Roland did not hesitate to close the silent prayer.
At the same time that the three of them instantly dived into the darkness, a terrible roar like thousands of thunders sounded at the same time! (To be continued.) )
PS: It's been so busy today...... I'm trying to get the second chapter out......
