Chapter Ninety-Eight: Breaking the Illusion

The high-intensity man-made earthquake is over. The temple, which had already collapsed in half, was even more seriously damaged after such a fuss. In the midst of the ruins, the three men who each used their magical powers to protect themselves pushed away the rubble piled on their bodies and reemerged from the ruins.

Owen, Julian, and Prince Harlan glanced at each other, perhaps because the current situation was very uncertain, and they were hostile to each other and did not immediately start a meaningless duel. Comparatively speaking, the woman who was proficient in earth magic, and best at protecting herself from such a calamity, did not reappear. Had she already lost her life in the earthquake?

"Hudson Roy, Kaka, Dorayado, Yadomondis, Entaro, Tatasa, ......"

The ethereal, disorganized, and familiar female voice that no one understood, as it reached the ears of the three of them, also broke the bad guess. Ipeiya is still in the world, but they can't see her.

"Ka, Sharo, Naton, Ntaro, Ahtha ......"

"Is this dragon magic?" Julian suddenly remembered that when the group had infiltrated the Imperial Tomb a few days earlier, Ipeia had recited this series of unintelligible languages.

At the time, under the influence of these mysterious spells she called "dragon magic", the illusion trap in the mausoleum was accidentally activated, and they were besieged by the "Scar Knights", and they were nearly wiped out, but it seems that it may not have been an "accident" at the time.

For the three of them were shocked to find that a thick fog was spreading rapidly around them, and as the incantation continued, the fog spread faster and faster, quickly swallowing up anything that the eye could see.

"Gao Zhu, Barcelona Book, Zinc Carado, Coaxing, Coaxing, Cozuma......"

The spell of "Dragon Magic" grew louder and louder, and then the voice suddenly became smaller and weaker. After experiencing extreme darkness, the eyes went to the other extreme, and suddenly became extremely obvious!

I don't know how long it took for their eyes to finally adjust to the bright light, and the three of them found that they were no longer in the dark underground ruins, but in a place that was bright, open, and colorful. It seems that this is in the back garden of some royal palace or castle, and the exquisite statues, neat corridors, tall walls, bright flowers, and precious grass screens show that the owner of this place has a high status and luxurious wealth.

"Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow......"

A group of soldiers in full armor and armed with spears and towers suddenly appeared from all around the garden, and they surrounded the four of them from all directions in a neat line and with sonorous steps.

On the armor on the chests of these ironclad soldiers, a very familiar symbol is engraved.

It was a dragon with its head held high, and its two front paws grasped the sun and the moon, respectively, and surrounded by stars. From a distance, it looks like the symbol of the Rocard Empire, but when it gets closer, it can be clearly seen that there are two obvious differences from the Rocard Empire emblem: first, the symbol of the Rocard Empire has a dragon head wearing a crown, while the dragon is wearing a wreath on its head; It is now recognized as an extinct native species.

"Oooo

"Wait a minute!" Julian shouted, but the spears raised by the three soldiers in front of him had already stabbed down.

Julian, who had no choice, could only fight, he raised his magic sword to block the attack of the three spears, and the holy sword swung forward, "Dang Dang Dang", all of which were blocked by the huge tower shield. Julian stepped back, took a deep breath, and adjusted his breathing, the hardness of the other tower's shield was far greater than he had imagined, and it would take him a while to get used to it.

Owen, who had no weapons, seized the weakness of these ironclad soldiers who were not very flexible, and when he dodged, the soldier's attack was in the dead end, and he hit the soldier's armor several times in a row, hitting the soldier's armor, and the soldier did not move at all, but Bounced Owen back. Although there was a real touch coming from the fists, Owen still saw through the essence of these soldiers.

"Julian, these soldiers are not real people. Don't be merciful. Owen said to his friend.

"I know. All of them are illusions. But these visions are enough to make us die!" replied Julian, but he did not stop resisting.

"Bastard! That guy Ipeia actually got me involved. Prince Harun swore with black lines as he struck back with his bow and arrow into the eyes of the ironclad soldiers' masks. He certainly knew what the illusion was when Julian was talking about.

Prince Harun and Julian had encountered such visions before, and when they entered the underworld with the three sisters Ipeia, Fernandez, and Dante, they were attacked by the visions of the "Scar Knights" after Ipeia chanted the "dragon magic", just like now. That is, it is a collective illusion that can deceive **.

There is a very simple way to get rid of this group illusion, and that is to "commit suicide" en masse before being "killed" by the illusion, but until yesterday, this method might have worked, since they were still companions. And now?

Julian swung his sword in battle as he turned his gaze to Prince Harun, who he received. In the eyes of both of them, the other is a betrayer.

Owen noticed a brief eye contact between the two, and the meaning in their eyes was clear, although they used to be companions against the enemy, but now they have turned against each other, although they are now fighting against a common enemy, but the enemy of the enemy does not mean that they are friends. It is impossible for people who do not trust each other to get rid of the collective illusion by "committing suicide together".

The situation is becoming more and more grim due to the situation of mutual intransigence.

Although Owen, Julian, and Prince Harlan stubbornly resisted and counterattacked with their own skills and weapons, those soldiers did not leave their bodies behind after being knocked down, but disappeared into thin air, and then immediately another appeared from the edge of the garden, endlessly replenishing into the battlefield. As the outnumbered soldiers continued to advance, the three of them retreated, and their range of movement shrank smaller and smaller, and finally, they were squeezed into a small space where they could only stand, and their backs were already leaning together.

"Oh no!" Julian smiled wryly.

"Am I going to die with the two of them?" said Prince Harlan, glancing back, unwillingly.

"Not necessarily dead. Owen smiled slyly.

Without warning, Owen suddenly punched Julian beside him in the chest, and due to the destruction of the armor, the unprotected heart completely absorbed the heavy blow and stopped beating instantly.

"You ......" Julian couldn't figure out why his friend would suddenly kill him, and with a look of surprise and puzzlement, he fell to the ground.

"You killed him?!" was also surprised by Prince Harlan, who, although his mysteries had always unnerved him, had never imagined that Owen would turn against him in such an emergency.

However, Prince Harun's surprise did not last long, as he found that his heart had been pierced by a sharp weapon. Almost at the same time as Julian fell, Owen took his magic sword, Tears of Repentance, and plunged into Prince Harlan's chest. Originally, they were hostile identities, and since they were forced to go back to back in the face of a common enemy, they should not be so careless - with endless regret, Prince Harlan closed his eyes.

"You should thank me. Owen said to the two corpses, "If you can't trust each other to get through this, let me help." ”

As he spoke, before the soldier's spear stabbed through, Owen stabbed the magic sword into his heart first......
