Apocalypse Chapter 50 - Underground
Christina's legs trembled in fright. Paraná looked at her and thought to himself that she was a civil servant, and that she was still a girl, and that it was better not to take her with her for this kind of thing. He said softly, "Christina, why don't you go back first, or wait for us outside, and I'll go down with Lena." ”
Christina glanced at Barana and seemed grateful. Although she was a little reluctant, she did not want to give up this unique scientific research opportunity, and finally her curiosity as a scientist overcame her fear, she gritted her teeth and rejected Paraná's proposal.
Parana checked her armor, and although the armor didn't transmit sensations to her body, Christina ducked around while Parana checked, looking reluctant. Her armor is not inferior to the armor of Paraná, the commander of the fleet, with miniature armor-piercing shells, laser guns, and lightsabers, but it's just a matter of whether she can use them.
Parana pulled out his lightsaber, shook it and lit it, and nodded to Lena.
Lena said something as she spoke, and suddenly the base glowed brighter than a lightsaber, and then suddenly vanished, revealing a bottomless hole.
All at once the voice became louder, so loud that both earthlings could hear it clearly.
Then, a skeleton crawled out of the hole and lunged at Christina at a speed disproportionate to its body.
Christina is just hard-mouthed, where will she fight. She was already afraid of skeletons, and the fact that skeletons flashed through the beam of light from her armor towards the entrance of the cave was far more frightening than if she had seen one directly in the daytime. This scared her so much that she couldn't move her body at all.
Lena, as a mage, is not so physically fit. Although as an apocalypse, he is far stronger than an earthling, and he can fight back and forth with Mercury, but in this First Emperor Enchantment, it is just the speed of ordinary earthlings.
Parana didn't think much of it, he had been wary of skeletons coming out of it. Who knew that this skeleton had chosen the right opponent and pounced on the only soft persimmon. It was impossible for Parana to let him succeed, as a commander whose hand-to-hand combat ability surpassed that of a bodyguard, his reaction speed and physical strength were top-notch. The skeleton was still in mid-air when it was slashed by Paraná's lightsaber, and the shattered skeleton flew towards Christina, but there was no longer any threat.
Christina didn't move until the skeleton hit the ground, and she fell straight back, sitting on the ground and unable to stand up.
Parana reached out to help her, and when he saw that she was already crying, he stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and only remembered that he was still wearing armor when his armor touched his mask. He shook his head helplessly, there was no way to do it.
He tapped her legmail, and a piece of armor popped out, containing a lightsaber. He placed the lightsaber in Christina's hand and told her to protect herself. When I looked back, countless skeletons were trying to crawl out of the hole, and it was Lena's beam of light that was pointing at the hole, destroying one skeleton after another. Those that missed were chopped to pieces by Barana with a lightsaber.
Christina has never faced death head-on, nor is she mentally prepared for it. She has spent 19 years of her life studying and researching in a place of absolute safety, and she has no idea what kind of fear she has to face as a soldier. She didn't even have the strength to swing the lightsaber in her hand, so she just sat there in a daze. It's scary to think about Parana, she's been working here for a long time, studying artifacts or something, and knowing that there were so many of these things under her feet at that time that even the thought of it can frighten her.
The number of skeletons is surprisingly small, and it could also be that Parana misunderstood Lina's meaning. Within minutes, no more skeletons crawled out of the hole. Lena placed a protective barrier at the entrance of the cave, and without speaking, she waited for Parana to see Christina.
Parana looked at Christina, her face still stained with tears. He blamed himself a little, it was his mistake to let such a girl witness such a terrible thing. He was determined to take her away, but she shook off his hand.
"I can protect myself, trust me." Christina was still crying, but clearly determined.
Several drones rose from the shoulders of her armor and flew into the hole. Inside the mask, a split screen displays images taken by several drones. Below is a huge space, also tens of meters high. The skeletons seemed to be the only part, empty underneath, and nothing moving was ever seen again.
It seems that Lena's shield has put Christina at ease. She told the two of them about the images taken by the drone. Paraná knew it was useless for him to think, so he waited for Lena to speak.
"This could be the Shadow Kingdom of the Immortal King." Lena said, "The Immortal King was killed long before I was born, and I don't know why his skeletons are here. But even if he's here, I'm sure I can beat him. Let me accumulate some magic and make an enchantment first. ”
"What enchantment?" Parana wanted a battle plan, which required a good understanding of Lena's spells.
"A magic that has a special effect on the undead."
Christina shuddered, and it seemed that the word undead had stimulated her again.
Parana had read that kind of fantasy novel. The special effect on the undead is the kind of golden holy light, and it seems that this magic will be quite dazzling when released.
"Don't be afraid, Christina. I've got you covered. Paraná reassured, "You have to trust me. ”
Christina nodded, but there was still fear in her eyes.
"Alright, let's go down."
This time Lena was in front, and Parana was the last to watch out for a sneak attack from behind. The three of them went down to the cave, and Lena didn't let the two of them turn on the flight mode, but slowly landed with magic without making a sound.
"Our thermal imaging doesn't seem to work. The skeleton has no body temperature. "Parana just turned on the thermal imaging in the dark, and nothing happened.
Lena had already released a ball of light, and she didn't seem to care if she had been spotted or not.
Parana glanced back by the light, and the cowardly expression on Christina's face was gone, replaced by incomparable determination. What a strong girl, Barana thought, and had a little more affection for the president of the academy. It seems that not all scientists are what I think they are.
A gate appeared in front of it, about a dozen meters high. The door is carved with carvings, as well as ancient apocalypse writing. Parana had the magic of Lenaga and saw that the words "Night Fear, Blazing Sun Rebirth" were written on this door.
"What does that mean?" Paraná didn't know what those words meant.
"This door depicts the Night King and the Sun King. This is just a symbol of their paintings, according to your Chinese understanding is the door god, nothing to fear. ”
"Then we will open this door or not. Will it bring the door god to life or something? Paraná asked tentatively.
"Of course you have to open it. Nothing dangerous. Lena affirmed, pushing the door open with her hand.
An endless darkness suddenly enveloped the three of them. Parana is somewhat familiar, isn't this the Night Lord's trick Dark Time?
"Lena! Paraná! Christina didn't know what was going on, and the sudden darkness left her a little overwhelmed.
"I'm here." Paraná remembered where she was and grabbed her hand. "I'm here, all the time."
Christina grasped him tightly with both hands, for fear of losing the only reliance she had. Paraná's mind was racing, what did those words mean?
If the Night King's trick is Night Fear, then what is the Blazing Sun Freshman?
And so on, basic physics knowledge. The blazing sun will turn into ......
"Supernova explosion! Lena! Protective cover! Paraná shouted frantically.
A dazzling light shot out from the side of the door, breaking through the terrifying darkness, but Barana immediately felt a burst of heat that even the armor could not resist.
Barana instinctively kept Christina at bay, and the temperature continued to rise. Soon he was sweating profusely, but Lena was still nowhere to be seen.
"Thousands of miles frozen!" Suddenly, he heard Lena shouting, the light being blocked by a wall of ice, and the heat was gone.
"I'm mistaken, this thing is still dangerous." Lena's voice grew cold, as if she had faced Mercury.
"But it doesn't matter, nothing can stop me. No. ”
