Chapter 576: The Book of Death (Part II)

It's almost successful.

Looking at the Chaos Legion that had rushed under the city walls in front of him, Ion smiled smugly. It can be clearly seen that although the other side is still struggling at the moment, it is only a matter of time before he is defeated. After just a few moments, Ion was convinced that his army would completely break through the opponent's barrier, and at that time, it would be the beginning of Chaos entering the Dragon Soul Continent and occupying everything!

"Huh?!"

At this moment, Ion suddenly turned his head sharply and looked at the fog behind him. Although there seemed to be nothing there, Ion's gaze seemed to travel through space at this moment, and soon, he saw the Night City covered in a barrier that shone with golden magical light! And seeing this scene, Ion was also shocked in his heart.

What's going on? How so? How did these guys break through the army of chaos and enter the Night Capital? Why didn't you find out at all? It stands to reason that these people of order should be discovered quickly after entering the chaotic world, but why do so many people of chaos not find out about each other's existence at all?

The question flashed through Ion's mind, but it quickly turned into a question that worried him even moreβ€”β€”β€” What are these people doing in the Night Capital? What do they want to do?

For a moment, Ion even planned to evacuate with his army, and the attack on the rear was completely unexpected by Ion, and he had never thought that such a thing would happen. After all, this is the land of chaos now, and the people of order will be quite suppressed just by entering here, and coupled with the ubiquitous nature of chaos, according to common sense, these people will be besieged by chaos monsters after entering the land of chaos, and then die. But they were able to make their way through the Chaos Plains silently. Arriving in the City of Night?

But.........

The moment this thought came to Ion's mind, it made him hesitate a little. The battle situation in front of him made him hesitate, and the situation was very good at the moment. And now Ion has finally discovered that these Chaos Lords who were called by him to help are completely pitting teammates, they don't obey Ion's orders at all, and they can do whatever they want. This gave Ion a huge headache. He finally had an incomparably deep understanding of the nature of "chaos" from another aspect.

In this case, even if Ion let those Chaos Lords go back to the rescue, I'm afraid he won't take his orders to heart, I'm afraid that these guys will go home directly when they get the orderβ€”β€”β€” although to some extent, Ion thinks that this may be better. But it's a pity that now he still needs these Chaos Lords to put pressure on the other party, even if they don't obey his orders at all, but at least if they are here, they can summon Chaos Monsters infinitely, for Ion. Although he has been assimilated by Chaos, after all, he is only a "novice rookie", and he is not at the same level as other Chaos Lords in this regard. If these Chaos Lords were to be allowed to leave, it would be a little too difficult for Ion to break through his sister's defenses alone.

Only keep going!

Thinking of this, Ion snorted coldly, and then made a decision. I don't know what those people are doing in the Night City, but I don't have to pay attention to them. Now it's the depths of the Chaos Lands. Whatever they want to do, they will be surrounded by the people of Chaos. And if Ion remembers correctly, there are still three Chaos Lords sitting in the Night Capital, although I don't know how many people have gone to each other, but it shouldn't be too manyβ€”β€”β€” or rather, in the face of infinite Chaos, no matter how many there are. None of them will be too much.

So, let them die. As long as you can break through this line of defense, you can drive straight in, and then you can go back and trouble these bastards. Of course, this is provided that they can live until that time.

Come to think of it. Ion finally relented, and then he looked up again at the front, and then gave the order.

"Go on the offensive!!"

With a routine scream, the Chaos Lord was unwilling to die completely under the sword of Xiao Wu Lori, and the canary and Rhodes who saw this scene couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh. I have to admit that if you deal with it normally, this Chaos Lord is really troublesome, and it can be seen that he was obviously planning to amplify his moves at the last moment, and at this time, the attack attributes launched against the Chaos Lord before were completely ineffective, according to reason, in the face of the Chaos Lord's big move, if you can't interrupt it, then you can only resist hard, but unfortunately, although the Chaos Lord almost ate everyone's skills, but he missed Xiao Wu Loriβ€”β€”β€” As a spirit, she is a fourth-type spirit attribute when attacking, and this happens to be outside the Chaos Lord's immunity.........

It's all fate...............

"Alright, pack up and get ready to rest and hurry up......... We're still in a hurry. ”

I don't know if he was hit by Labis before, but this time Rhodes glanced at the wreckage left by the Chaos Lord and quickly withdrew his gaze, not even mentioning the matter of touching the corpse. Unlike before, due to the unknown ability of the Chaos Lord this time, the canary also lost a considerable amount of manpower, in addition to the few thieves and melee professionals who died at the beginning and the three paladins who were then swallowed by the waves of necromancy, there were also three or four mages who were also hit, but fortunately most of the spirit masters survived, and soon a few great resurrection spells passed, and the corpses that fell to the ground got up again......... But unfortunately, it didn't become a necromancy.

There doesn't seem to be anything to be sorry about.

And just as Rhodes turned around to leave, she saw that Labis, who had been standing next to her, stepped forward again this time, and then she reached out and touched the remains of the Chaos Lord.........

"Ah, Lord Rhodes, I found a very interesting book here."

"Oh?"

Hearing Labis's words, Rhodes suddenly turned his head, only to see that Labis was holding a big book that looked dark and thick and waved towards him. And seeing this scene, Rhodes was also taken aback, he originally thought that his black hand aura had been infected even the people around him as he thought, but now it seems that Labis can still be saved. I don't know what the book is, but I can tell from the cover that it must be very valuable.

"Good. Take it, Labis. ”

As he spoke, Rhodes reached out and took the book. Soon, in front of Rod, the name of this heavy book immediately emerged.

[Obtain the Book of the Dead.] Grade??? to wake up]

The Book of the Dead?

Looking at the heavy book in front of him that was completely wrapped in chains and sealed, Rhodes frowned, he could indeed feel the strong power of death from this book. But what caught Rod's attention the most was the system prompt in the back, could it be that this book was actually some kind of prop to wake up the elves? Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly grasped the book in his hand, and soon, the magic circle that summoned the elves appeared from his palm............

But he didn't see it. At this time, Selestina and Xiao Wu Lori, who saw the book next to them, changed their faces greatly.

"Don't! Master! ”

With Celestina's scream, Rod's right hand, which had planned to clench the heavy book, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Celestina? Is there anything wrong with this book? ”

As he spoke, Rhodes looked at Selestina at the same time, only to see that Selestina was pale at the moment, looking at the book as if she was about to face the end of the world. And beside her, the blade princess who existed in the form of a spirit also clearly showed a relieved expression on her face, on the contrary. Heros, who didn't care about anything, was staring at the book with bright eyes at the moment, and the different expressions of the three people immediately caught Rod's attention. In his experience. To be able to make the three card elves show such emotions, so most of them can't run away from their kind, can it be ...............

"This is one of your sisters, too?"

"Yes, master."

Hearing Rod's words, Selestina glanced at the heavy black book again in horror and swallowed involuntarily. That's when he spoke.

"This ......... This is the third sister ..............."

Third sister?

Hearing Celestina's words, Rhodes looked at the book in Labis's hand again......... Well, there's a cover, there's a spine, there's a pageβ€”β€”β€” it's a book, right?

Holy Sword?

How does it feel to be further to the front row. The more bizarre the existence of the elves in this holy sword card? The back can be said to be a sword form.,But since the little five Lori, it doesn't feel like a weapon at all.。 No matter how much you refer to a deer as a horse, you can't point to a book and say it's a sword! Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but imagine that he reached out and smashed the summoning card, and then summoned a book to smash at the other party......... Will we still be able to play properly?

"Uh......... Not what you think, master. ”

At this moment, Celestina also seemed to notice that Rod was completely wrong, so she coughed in embarrassment, and then opened her mouth to explain to Rode.

"Although we were all sealed at the beginning, only the eldest sister, the second sister and the third sister are different, because their strength is too strong, so they not only sealed their consciousness into the weapon, but also carried out the second and third seals at the request of Karen. The second seal is to seal their bodies in these books, which is why they become like this. ”

"And what is the third seal?"

Hearing this, Rhodes couldn't help but ask curiously, so far, Rhodes has summoned the card elves of Celia, Celestina, Greyhill, Madaras, Kalian, Little Five Lori, and Syros, but their awakening rituals are actually quite simple, as long as Rhodes uses his skills to summon swordsmen to awaken. I didn't expect the first three to have such troublesome things. Of course, this kind of thing is not unheard of in the game, and there are some very powerful summoned elves who need to meet various conditions before they choose to sign a contract with the holder and then turn it into a summoning card. It's just that Rhodes didn't expect that the first three cards still have such restrictions.

In the face of Rod's inquiry, Celestina also frowned, a little helpless.

"I don't know much about that, master. At the beginning, our consciousness seal was made by Kalian, and I just listened to her casually say it at the beginning, and I only knew that one of the necessary conditions was that we had to collect all three books to be able to summon all three people at the same time, otherwise something big would happen. ”

"Karen, ..............."

Hear here. Rod thought for a moment, if Karen said so, then I'm afraid there really is such a condition.

"Yes, Sister Karen said that when these seals are lifted, the power of the three elder sisters will explode instantly, and in order to counteract this power. That's why it's created in a mode that can only be summoned after collecting all three books. Especially the host you are now ............ power"

"I see."

In the face of Celestina's explanation, Rod more or less understood why Selestina was so anxious to stop herself, in fact, just now Rod had already felt the strong power of death from this book, from this point of view, most of the three sisters in their mouths are also inseparable from "death". If it is really like Celestina's words, then the power of death that erupted when this elf was unsealed must be very powerful. Rhodes, who is in the form of a Void Dragon, may be able to give it a try, but now that he has dispersed his strength, if he rashly lifts the seal, he may directly end up in a group of annihilations.

It's a pity that Karen isn't here now, even though she's Rhodes' summoning elf. However, as a technical type, Karen basically belongs to the type of staying in the house and not going out, just like Labis, and this time, in order to deal with Chaos's attack, Rhodes left Karene and Canary in Grandia. Now that he and the others are in chaos, naturally there is no way to contact Kalian, and it seems that he can only wait until he returns.

It's just that I didn't expect that I had good luck this time, and I actually found another card elf.........

For Rod, it was a surprise that he was able to find another Elf with another Sword card, but it also made him a little different. According to Celestina, the first two people also possess the same power as the elves sealed in the book. And the power of the three parties can cancel each other, so does it mean that their power is relative? Since the power of this book is darkness and death, is there another book whose power is light and life?

Considering that this book was found in the City of Night, could the other book be Casablanca, the capital of the Land of Light?

As soon as he thought of this, Rhodes said that he was under a lot of pressureβ€”β€”β€” the whole Casablanca was bombed into ruins by himself, and he became that ghost, did this mere book still survive?

It looks like I'm going to have to look for it after I go.

But that's something that will happen later, after all. So Rhodes quickly put this matter behind him, and then rushed towards the direction of the third and last Chaos Lord with Canary and the others.

The situation of the Mirrors is much better than that of the Canary, after all, the Chaos Lords they encounter are also the same ones that the player has cleaned up in the game, so they can deal with them easily. It's just different from Julia and the weird Chaos Lord in front of her. This Chaos Lord is completely in the shape of a flesh shield blood cow, although the attack pattern is very monotonous, but its powerful strength and huge body that is not afraid of fighting still give everyone an abnormal headache, and fortunately, this Chaos Lord's movement speed is very slow, which allows everyone to delay it. But even so, by the time Rhodes and the others arrived, more than half of the dead and wounded on the mirror side. After all, there are very few bloody beings in the elite group, and in order to ensure covert actions, most of Rhodes' elite group are light armor professions, so naturally they can't withstand the attack of this kind of guy with rough skin and thick fists. Even if they tried their best to attract the attention of the Chaos Lord, they still lost more than half.

However, with the arrival of Rhodes and the converging canary, the battle situation immediately changed, because this guy was dealt with by everyone in the game, and now everyone is fully manned, so they quickly gathered, and directly pushed the other party away in a wave, and it only took a little longer than Julia, and soon the last Chaos Lord wailed and hung up.

"Hoo ..............."

Watching the demise of the last Chaos Lord, Rhodes wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then he glanced at the pocket watch in his hand. It's been almost seven hours since they entered the Night City, and at this point, Ion should be an idiot and find out that something is wrong, but since he hasn't come back yet, it means that the battle of the senior sister in front of him has been successful. It seems that Ion was really hanging by the carrot like a donkey, and he would only rush forward vigorously.........

Expect him to be a little more stupid and not react.

However, Rhodes also knew that this expectation was definitely unrealistic, so he didn't say anything, but immediately waved his hand and gave the order after everyone was resurrected again.

"Alright, everyone prepare, you know our mission, now I want you to cooperate with Labis to assemble the Dimensional Destruction Bomb here, while keeping an eye on the surrounding movements, especially to prevent the invasion of Chaos Monsters, remember, we don't have much time! There's a good chance that Ian idiot will come back at any time, and he'll have to hurry, understand? ”

But what puzzled Rod was that this time the crowd did not immediately answer his question, but looked around, as if they were thinking about something. Seeing this scene, Rod couldn't help frowning, and a doubt also emerged from the depths of his heart, although the atmosphere in his elite group was relatively casual on weekdays, but he could still be serious when he should be serious, but now, how could this group of people be inexplicable?

"What's wrong?"

"That............ Head? The power of our souls is suddenly recovering so slowly........."

Just when Rod was puzzled, a spirit master timidly raised his hand and spoke. And hearing her speak, the others immediately nodded their heads.

"That's right, Captain, our soul power is recovering so slowly now, almost one percent per minute."

"How is that possible?"

Hearing this, Rod was taken aback, but before he could figure out what was going on, the voice of the little bubblegum also came from the depths of Rode's heart.

"I'm going, what did you do, Commander? The soul power of the spirit masters around me is declining sharply, and I can't recover at all! If this continues, this barrier will be finished if it lasts another hour! ”

An hour?!

Hearing Little Bubble Gum's words, Rhodes's heart sank even more, according to Labis, it would take at least half an hour to install a plane destruction bomb, and now Little Bubblegum actually said that her soul barrier could only support an hour?

"Hasty, what's going on?"

Rhodes soon found that almost all of the members of the elite group who had problems this time were projected from behind, while the canary and little bubblegum who were the projection guards had no problems at all, so he hurriedly turned his head and looked at Hastie, who had been standing quietly beside him.

And it was only then that Rhodes realized that something was not quite right with Rasti, the petite girl was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down her forehead. Hearing Rod's inquiry, Laddy looked up and opened her mouth to say something, but then she went limp and fell into Rod's arms.

"Masty? What happened to you? What happened?! ”

Seeing this scene, Rhodes was also taken aback, Rasti is the spirit of the Star Spirit Temple, and she is also the core of the existence that maintains these projections. If something goes wrong with her at this moment, then it's all over. You can't drop the chain at this time!

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

In response to Rod's inquiry, Rashty opened her mouth again, and then she took a deep breath before speaking softly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ Soul power is overdepleted......... ............... hosts"

As she spoke, Hasdy's beautiful, blue eyes blinked like this, staring at Rod.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ Need to replenish mana............"

Then, she spoke. (To be continued......)
