Chapter 153: The Communication Stone
"Holy Presence, don't think you've won!"
The magician screamed, and stared at the holy water bottle in Charles's hand with resentment, and his body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and the blood-colored bats loomed in the mist, escaping like lightning into the depths of the temple.
Silently retracted half of the bottle of holy water back into the inventory.
Charles looked around at the battlefield in the front hall.
The Purple Dragon Guards had already secured the victory, and two or three men teamed up to besiege a Templar Knight. Originally, the strength of the Purple Dragon Guards and the Templars was similar, but now they broke through the formation of the Templars, forming a siege posture, and the Templars did not have the command of the Dark Overseers, and the defeat was decided.
"That's a vampire ......"
At this time, Yuphie, Quicksand on the Fingertips, and Haunting Dreams reacted with a shocked face. The trickster's sneak attack was only half a second to a second, and except for the quicksand of his fingertips reflexively touching the dagger, Yuffie and Haunting were both stiff and delicate, unable to react in the slightest.
The same goes for Meloti, the sword mage.
In the face of this kind of sneak attack, only high-level wanderers have the possibility of reflex dodge, but the trickster's [Forced Sneak Attack] will still cause the wanderer to lose a large amount of health, after all, it is a mandatory skill.
"Destroy these Dark Knights and storm the apse."
Charles took out the 'Deep Sea Frost Flails' again, and without explaining anything, he rushed into the battle group of the Purple Dragon Guards and the Templars, and found a Templar who threw out the spiked chain hammer fiercely.
"Bang"
The hammer smashed into the Templar's back, and the armor-piercing effect of the heavy Abyssal Flail was manifested, and a large chunk was dented into the place where it was hit. The Templar Knight snorted and stumbled to the ground as the Purple Dragon Guard across from him found an opportunity and stabbed the knight in the heart with a long, narrow scimitar.
Combat is brutal, there is no 1v1 heads-up in chaotic battles, and the main goal is to kill and wound the enemy as much as possible.
"Wind Combo!"
The female leader also found a sneak attack gap, and the red shadow flashed, and the fist with the fist dagger struck an unsuspecting knight like a storm.
"[Magic Energy Explosion]!"
The chaotic environment is not suitable for spellcasters. Especially sorcerers. After standing outside for about half a minute, he seized the opportunity for several Templar Knights to gather and quickly recited the spell to urge the orb and throw out a signature one-ring spell.
"Boom"
Crackling energy projectiles explode in the mob pile. Those knights were either blown up and bloody, or rolled out with a wail, and were mended in time by the purple dragon guards.
Barring the odds, this skirmish would have been over in half an hour.
β¦β¦
Meanwhile.
At the entrance to the underground temple, Udic, Alva, and two Dark Guards fight. It's coming to an end.
"General Alva, please use the Evil Breaker Slash."
"The Pastor of the Holy Coming needs you."
Udic held the pure gold spear and whispered to Alva.
"I know."
"It's almost now."
Alva stared at the two Dark Guards on the other side with cold eyes.
After nearly a quarter of an hour of attrition, the tortoise shells of the two Dark Guards were in tatters, and there were gaps in the blades everywhere.
Obviously, Alva just waited for the Dark Guard's rune armor to be overwhelmed and lost most of its protective functions before preparing to use [Evil Breaker]. At the hero level, [Evil Slash] also has a daily limit on the number of times, and the use of restricted skills must pay attention to timing and tactics. Brainless littering will only drain vitality.
"I'm on!"
Instead of using his rage, Udic raised his adamantite spear, the power of nature converging in his hand, and the entire spear began to circulate with a transparent Force light.
"Colin, be careful!"
One of the Dark Guards' pupils constricted, and he said in a deep voice to his twin brother, "This is an exemplary barbarian's combat skill, and it is best not to block it hard. β
The Dark Guard, named Colin, didn't answer, but stepped forward and thudmed his two-handed greatsword into the ground. The Dark Guard gripped the metal hilt of his sword with both hands, and his red eyes suddenly became hollow.
"Bane's power blesses me!"
"Dark Blessing ......"
With the Dark Guard's muffled words. The two-handed greatsword with half of the sword body inserted into the ground suddenly rose with a layer of fluttering demonic flames. There were faces with frightened expressions looming in the flames.
"Divine Blessing...... Break the good! β
The Darkguard drew his sword and roared and rushed towards Udic.
"[Ancestral Spirit Rage]!"
"[Strike of the Ancient Clan]!"
Udic's face suddenly became solemn when he saw the scene of the Dark Guardian holding the evil emblem to summon divine power. His blond hair danced. A strange language came out of his mouth.
Gradually, the shadow of a spirit appeared above the bear man's head, it was also a bear man, but this bear man's breath and appearance were more primitive and ancient, and his weapons and armor were carved with ancient runes.
This is obviously a two-in-one combat skill, and the effect of using it alone is much worse.
"Let's fight!" Udic and the bear-man spirit above his head roared at the same time.
The giant sword swirling with demonic flames slashed horizontally!
Udic also stirred up the Adamantite Spear in an instant. Swift stabbed out!
This is a confrontation between the forces of nature and the evil gods.
"Boom"
The air exploded, blowing a large area of stone lampholders and floors into the air.
The ancestral spirit summoned by Udic, as well as the demonic flames on the body of the Dark Guardian Sword, actually quickly dissipated at the beginning of the spear and sword collision.
Click. It was the sound of steel shattering.
The pure gold spear transformed into the Scepter of Victory Radiance was pointed on the two-handed giant sword, and a circle of cracks spread out from the point where the tip of the spear fell, instantly covering the entire giant sword. In the blink of an eye, pieces of iron fell to the ground, and Dark Guard Colin retreated in panic with the empty metal hilt.
"Deathβ"
Udic already knew the quality and original appearance of the golden spear in his hand, so he was full of confidence in this head-to-head duel and was ready to attack. The bearman roared angrily and stabbed the adamantite spear again!
Poof.
The spear undoubtedly pierced the Dark Guard's body.
But Udic was still roaring, his face full of murderous intent, he kept holding the spear and provoking the opponent hanging on the weapon, and charged forward for dozens of steps, until he killed the dark guard on the temple statue, and then he gasped and stopped.
Pull out the Adamantite Spear.
The body of the Dark Guard fell to the ground with rubble. Uditz looked behind him with a spear, and Alva walked with a blood-stained silver sword in one hand and the head of another Dark Guard in the other.
At the time of the confrontation between Udicz and Colin. Alva also easily took out Kosai with the Evil Slash. Heroes can only be matched by heroes of the corresponding level.
"Let's go in!"
Alva dropped his head in front of the temple stone stairs and stepped on the stairs first.
Udic followed.
β¦β¦
Deep in the temple.
Bypassing the central altar and ascending the stairs on either side of the chamber, one will find a huge throne that only the head of the temple is qualified to sit on.
But now the throne has been moved aside. A deep secret passage appears behind the original location.
The secret passage is only a dozen meters long, and at the end is a small laboratory, and in addition to the bits and pieces, the most conspicuous thing is probably a rectangular arch made of stone blocks.
The stones are quaint and full of traces of time. It is carved with intricate magical patterns.
At this time, the dark priest who presides over this temple is pouring magic into the stone gate. His right palm was pressed against one of the stones, and on his left palm was a purple crystal the size of a human brain, and the purple energy stream visible to the naked eye was pouring from the priest's left arm to his right arm, and finally into the stone door.
ββ¦β¦ It's useless, Ron. β
"This small portal was sealed by the Legendary Van Geda Heist with the 'Sealing Technique', unless a ceremony was held with several purple-robed priests, or a Legend was invited to help. Otherwise, the portal will continue to sleep. β
On the test table, there was a white stone the size of a fist, and the dwarven runes carved on it were glowing, and a sneering sound was heard.
These are the Transmission Stones, strange things, they can only be found in the secret shops of high-level mages, and the Transmission Stones are usually sold in pairs, if multiple Transmission Stones form a communication network, on the basis of pairs, each additional Transmission Stone will increase the cost of manufacturing by 50%. So except for certain organizations. Ordinary trade unions and mercenary groups simply can't afford to buy such a strange thing.
However, Bane's Church, especially the most terrifying of the Resurrections, controls almost all of the trade routes in the south and west of the continent. Naturally, the financial resources are terrible, and a network of communication stones all over the continent has long been formed.
However, both low-grade and high-grade communication stones have transmission distance limitations. For example, the high-level communication stone in the hands of the dark priest can only be transmitted between Cormier and Sambia.
"Not necessarily, Ron has an arcane crystal in his hand, and it's a treasure from the fairy wilderness of the Alien Plane. There's a volcanic amount of magical energy in it, and I'm guessing it's no less than a legend. β
The dwarven runes on the white teleportation stone were still glowing, and another hoarse and old female voice came out.
The Dark Priest is a messenger stone that clearly connects multiple church leaders.
"Bang"
The Dark Priest took the initiative to stop the energy transmission, walked to the table and said with a gloomy face, "Isaac, you are still silent?" I need your help, and you are the only one in Cormier who has the strength. β
The Communication Stone was silent for a moment.
"Ron, you'......ve been exposed," a cold voice said, "Arabe's side will find this portal, and if it is unsealed, my side will also be exposed." β
"My preparations on Susar's side are almost complete, and the summoning ceremony will be held in a few days, so I can't afford to risk unlocking the portal."
Hearing this, Ron, the dark priestess, suddenly turned grim.
"Destroy this portal directly after teleporting!"
"There's no way they're going to find Susar's temple!"
Ron said in a cold tone: "The group of devout believers outside, as well as the Templar Knights' formation, the Blood Clan's magicians, the Exemplar Overseers, and the twin Dark Guardians, are the resources I have accumulated for more than ten years, and I can't just lose them!" (To be continued.) )
