Chapter 789: Purgatory Gate
The sudden change did not disrupt everyone's situation, everyone grabbed their weapons and prepared their spells, and evacuated the abandoned house in an orderly and rapid manner. As soon as he came outside, Hao Ren noticed a strange scene:
A large, translucent shroud loomed over the outside of the abandoned house, pale magical runes floating on the surface of the energy shroud, and the thick fog around the town gathered above it, swirling and compressing into a substance-like fluid that was poured into the energy shroud. This thing blocked everyone's way from all directions, and when Lily saw this, she immediately pulled out her claws of ice and fire and prepared to dig a hole out, Nangong Sanbayan quickly grabbed this reckless girl: "Don't act rashly!" Let's figure out what it is. ”
"We're trapped," Heatherian's face was unusually ugly, "it's a trap!" ”
Hao Ren was briefly stunned, and then began to wander around the space to see if there was a suitable tool for the equivalent, but before he could take out his things, there was a sudden movement in the open space outside the barrier: I saw a thick fog tumbling violently, and a whirlwind of black smoke rolled up in the mist, and this black smoke quickly collected a large amount of soot from all directions, and gradually formed a human figure-it was the "Hemerwin" lord who had dissipated in the room before.
However, this man now looked very different from the previous appearance of cowering with his neck shrunch, he had a straight waist, a strange short scepter in his hand, and a cold look on his face, as if he was looking at a group of experimental materials, standing outside the transparent shield: "Do you know how long I waited? ”
Nangong Sanba raised his crossbow and aimed at the other party: "Heimerwin, what does this mean!?" ”
"Just gathering the necessary strength for my gates," Lord Hermerwin said with a blank face. At the same time, he pointed to the magic barrier above everyone, "I advise you not to act rashly. It contains the magic that I have accumulated over the centuries, and its power is powerful enough to trap an ancient god from a mythical age for a short time. You're running out of options. The smartest thing to do is to be quiet and wait for it to drain you dry. If you don't resist, it won't be painful. ”
As the words of "Hemerwin" fell, the magic barrier above everyone emitted a slight humming sound, and those pale runes moved in a complex cycle, beginning to extract the power of all living beings inside the barrier. Hao Ren noticed that several weeds under his feet were rapidly turning to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the big house behind everyone kept creaking and rattling weirdly. Nangong Sanba and Kassandra were the first to react, they felt a burst of dizziness, and the power in their bodies passed quickly as if they had broken a hole!
It was at this time that Hethanna finally reacted. She held up her whip and pointed at "Hemerwin": "You are not a lord...... Are you Baptiste!? ”
The man outside the barrier nodded expressionlessly: "Is this hard to guess?" You're only now reacting, little vampire girl. ”
Hao Ren figured out the before and after of the matter at once, and it turned out that everyone was fooled from the beginning!
The man in front of him was not a so-called lord ghost at all, he was actually the wizard Baptiste that everyone was looking for, he applied necromancy to himself, and transformed himself into one kind of monster made of ashes, which was not human or ghost, and thus completely erased his own flesh as a wizard. The magic erosion marks left on his body, all of what he said before were false - this guy's purpose from the beginning was to lure people into this ruined house on high ground.
He's set up a dark magic formation here that can draw the power of living beings!
Hao Ren thought of the other party's various manifestations when he acted as "Hemerwin", the cowardly posture of cowering, the frenzied reaction of occasional nervousness and occasional hysteria. Now it seems that these actions are all a cover-up, a distraction from his group: he has made himself act like a messy straw bag nobleman, so that no one will pay too much attention to what he says and will not ask him too much!
"I've been waiting for a long time!" Baptiste seemed to have concluded that the people in the barrier were incapable of resisting. He said to himself as he waited for the magic array to extract enough mana, "I left a lot of hidden clues, and I was waiting for unlucky people like you. Yes...... How rare it is to have magical experimental materials. The power I squeezed from a hundred ordinary people was not as much as what a single magician could provide, and today I came so much at once! Prepared for so long. It's been preparing for so long! Now I'm finally trying to scrape together the last bit of magic that I lack...... I can finally go to the depths of Purgatory! ”
Baptiste seems to be immersed in some kind of wild imagination, and hundreds of years of living alone in this haunted place like a ghost have made him completely insane. He unconsciously waved the strange short staff in his hand as he talked to himself, and the expression on his face kept shifting between insolence and madness. And as he spoke, Hao Ren saw something emerging from the dense fog a few meters away.
Wisps of mist flowed through the air as if they were substance, drawing the outline of a huge vortex under the pull of the magic, and heavy red light appeared out of thin air in the mist, gradually forming a huge structure in the shape of a sphere. It was embedded in the surface like a giant eyeball with a radius of several meters, and within the misty sphere, a distorted landscape like another world was looming.
Purgatory Gate - Baptiste actually found the connection between the purgatory space and the earth, everything was as accurate as calculated, and at the same time as the magic power converged, the purgatory gate appeared in the focus of the magic vortex!
It's a long time, but it all happened in a very short period of time, and after noticing that something was wrong, Hethanane immediately launched an attack on the magical barrier. She held her whip aloft, surrounded by a fiery wind and hissing electricity, which slammed down with a thunderous explosion that struck the barrier with a swift motion, but the attack had no effect. Duncan and Kassandra then launched a series of attacks on the Magical Barrier, but after a violent explosion and vibration, the barrier stood still.
The short staff in Baptiste's hand flashed a few times when the barrier was attacked, and he glanced at Hethanna indifferently: "Meaningless struggle, this can only waste your strength in vain." ”
"Do you know who you're calculating? The old lady can scare your waist when she says her name! Hethiana angrily pointed at Baptiste and scolded, then jumped to look at Hao Ren, "Aren't you quite good?" At this time, hurry up and think of a way! ”
Hao Ren reached out to touch the bomb from his personal space, but before he could pull it out, he saw Lily suddenly run in front of the barrier.
The husky girl scratched the barrier with her two paws to make sure it was really strong, and then made a move that no one could have imagined:
She threw herself on the ground and quickly dug a hole......
Everyone knows this girl's ability to dig holes, even if she is empty-handed, she can dig a hole and bury herself in the blink of an eye, not to mention that she still has two claws, and she only saw earth and rocks flying on the spot, and the sand behind Lily was like a fountain rising back, and in almost a few seconds she dug a hole under the magic barrier that allowed her to get out.
Yes, she just got out of it.
At this time, Baptiste was still holding a staff and posing, it was not that he didn't see Lily's movements, but even if he did, he really couldn't think of how to react: normal people's thinking when they first came into contact with huskies was like this. The sorcerer, who was full of bad water, kept his reflex arc offline and watched Lily burrow out of the ground, not thinking at all how to stop her...... Because he was unprepared for such a situation.
Lily approached Baptiste so generously and reached out to grab the other party's short staff: "Tease, your magic barrier is empty underneath. ”
Baptiste was dumbfounded: "...... I've never seen a ...... that can make holes before."
Lily pursed her lips and snapped the short staff in her hand, and the magic barrier around everyone immediately shook and dimmed. Enraged, Heatherenne strode over to Baptiste to teach the guy a lesson, but at this moment, something unexpected happened:
Baptiste suddenly screamed and turned around and slammed into the gate of purgatory not far away! (To be continued......)
