Chapter 142: Light and Darkness
readx;
Countless torches lit up in the darkness, and the thousands of people scattered over a large area, and when the torches were lit, they dotted the large open space in front of the gate of the Dark Tower like stars. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With more and more torches, more players and NPC soldiers began to gradually gather in this open space, although everyone can be regarded as members of the Holy Light Council, and they are also working towards the same goal, but in essence, the empire and the alliance are still divided into two different organizations, and it is impossible to truly achieve fusion so quickly, and after yesterday's battle, let everyone understand that in such a large battle group, there is actually no formation and command of generals, Every point on the battlefield is a small battlefield, only when each small team wins, the battle will be won as a whole, so compared to yesterday, everyone is more clearly divided, not only the empire and the alliance are clearly divided into their own teams, the empire and the alliance are also divided into small teams with guilds or organizations as units, everyone is trying to get close to avoid being alone, and several other scattered forces are also standing together.
As heroes and temporary commanders of this battle, Yi Xuan and Edward stood at the front of the team, behind them were Edward's Green Watcher team and the Holy Light Knights led by Yi Xuan, and Yang Kai made it clear that he was here to support Yi Xuan, so he neither paid attention to any title nor asked for any status in this battle, and a barbarian big chief followed Yi Xuan's Holy Light Knights, everyone dressed together, and obviously incorporated himself into Yi Xuan's escort team.
Yi Xuan drew his saber and waved it at the gate of the Dark Tower, and was about to announce his advance, when the dwarven hero who led the alliance reinforcements last night on Edward's side was gone.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I think Elder Edward should be the first to enter the Tower of Darkness, and that's the only way I'm unruly! The subordinates will be convinced. The tone was polite, but it didn't sound comfortable.
Yi Xuan frowned, his main purpose was to rescue Zhao Beifeng, thinking that there was really no need to dwell on the question of who was first and who was behind, and glanced at Edward, who was looking to the side with an idle face, not knowing what to look at, obviously supporting the dwarf's words.
"Okay." Yi Xuan didn't want to waste time on this issue, so he nodded happily in agreement.
"Wait." Sir Lexa beside Yi Xuan hurriedly spoke up to stop, "Elder Yi, I don't think this is good, after all, the soldiers of the empire only occupy an important position in the coalition army, and the high-level of the empire is very supportive of your actions, you see, this honor of entering the dark tower cannot be given away so easily." Lexa didn't smile on his face, although he opened his mouth to be an elder and closed his mouth, but in his tone was a determination that he would never want to let go.
"This ......" Yi Xuan didn't expect to have a problem on such a problem that is not a problem, no wonder it is said that human nature is the key to determining the outcome of everything, this is not a classic that has not made money, and has fought for the money first, if it is defeated this time, who will enter the door first, wouldn't it be who gets the insult first? But at the moment of the great enemy, of course Yi Xuan can't say such frustrating words, and he still has to rely on the power of the alliance and the empire, and it is not easy to get too stiff, so Yi Xuan said this word, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
"Sir Lexar, I've heard of you, what? I heard that you joined in early, and now you are in a hurry to go in and die? "Talking to the Imperial Commander, the smell of gunpowder in the dwarves' mouths is obviously much stronger.
"You may not know this, dying in battle is an honor in our empire, unlike your alliance, you may think it is more important to come over and clean up the battlefield." Lexa still speaks gentlemanly, and swears around the corner.
The dwarven hero didn't turn a corner at first, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and deliberately come late, right? "The dwarven hero only brought people here yesterday after the battle, and when he came, the people of the empire had already arrived, so he probably thought that only his own team was the last to come, so listening to Lexa's words was particularly harsh.
Lexa took advantage of it, and looked proud, "You said this yourself, but I didn't expect it to be late because of this." One sentence confirmed the reputation of dwarves who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
"You ......" As a warlike dwarven people, there is probably nothing more insulting than this, and the dwarf is almost about to draw his own war hammer.
At this time, Yi Xuan felt a sudden vibration under his feet, this vibration became more and more obvious, and even the Tower of Darkness began to shake, but soon, Yi Xuan found that it was actually the Tower of Darkness that was shaking, and the earth was shaking under his drive.
Everyone looked towards the top of the tower in disbelief, only to see that the dark clouds in the sky were constantly circling, like a whirlpool rotating, and the core of the rotation was on the spire, I don't know where something was stirring those shadow energy, and soon formed a law, Yi Xuan stared at the dark clouds for a while, he felt that the dark energy was not only rotating, but also being absorbed by something,
"What's going on? Earthquakes? ”
"No, I think it's like this tower is going to fall." There was a whisper among the players, but in the midst of such violent shaking and booming, the discussion gradually turned into a shout.
"We're not going to be stoned to death by the tower, are we?"
"What do you say? I can't hear you."
This rumbling sound became louder and louder, and in the end, it was as if someone was beating a drum in his ear, and it was in this drum sound that Yi Xuan clearly heard the sound of the system prompt.
System prompt: The Great Sage of Darkness Zhao Beifeng is carrying out the ritual of resurrecting the God of Shadows, when this ritual is completed, the God of Shadows will come to this world from the new, because the God of Shadows is about to be resurrected, the Dark Energy controls the entire Tower of Darkness, the Great Sage of Darkness Zhao Beifeng has obtained full control of the Tower of Darkness, and he is currently located on the 99th floor for the resurrection ceremony of the God of Shadows, in order to prevent the resurrection of the God of Shadows, Zhao Beifeng must be killed before dawn tomorrow.
After the system prompt, the rumbling sound gradually decreased, and finally it became the kind of buzzing vibration sound at the beginning, it seems that it was the movement when the ritual was started just now, no matter what, since it can make such a big movement, it seems that the power of this ritual is definitely not small.
Now there is a time limit, before dawn, to hit the 99th floor, it is really a long way to go, at this time Yi Xuan can't manage so much, how can there be the question of what the United States has time to argue about the first merit, brandishing his saber and shouting at the crowd: "Rush with me." Immediately after that, Yi Xuan's crotch raised his front hooves high, let out a long roar, and rushed in towards the gate with four hooves, followed by a hundred knights and barbarians mixed in it.
When Edward saw that he couldn't let him take the limelight out of his way, he hurriedly shouted, "For the honor of the Holy Light." Then he chased after him.
In this way, there will be no more precedence between the empire and the alliance, and everyone will rush inside. When I arrived at the gate of the Dark Tower, I felt that the eerie and cool cold wind was blowing out, as if it was a huge cave inside, although there were still those 10,000-year-old lamps lit inside, but today's Dark Tower was particularly gloomy.
Yi Xuan rushed to the hall on the first floor, looked up, the entire hall seemed to be shrouded in a layer of inexplicable dark fog, which made people's hearts deeply uneasy, this is still Yi Xuan's feelings, the hero with a slightly lower template or the player with a lower level felt absolutely the kind of fear that makes people feel at this time, in fact, this hall is still that hall, and the layout is still those arrangements, but it just makes the people in it uncomfortable.
If those NPs can be understood as expressions brought about by the system's domination, then the player's feeling is real and personal.
The number of coalition forces this time is too much, and this hall is usually prepared for those players who play dungeons, so at the same time, the more it can accommodate three or five hundred people, and most of the people who enter the hall at this time are still NP, but whether they enter the hall or are outside the hall, the second system prompt sound sounded in their ears at this time.
System Prompt: The Expeditionary Force has officially entered the Tower of Darkness, and the story mission "Light and Darkness" has officially begun. Note that characters who die during this story mission will die permanently, and all that happened during this time will be remembered in the annals of the game.
Hearing this prompt, the players outside the tower cheered, they don't have to be afraid of death like NPEF, but they can also get their own glory and experience in this operation, so such a reminder must be good news for them.
But for NPs, it is not so optimistic, especially for people like Yi Xuan who have real emotions, this mission also means life and death for them.
All the NPs flashed solemn expressions, but only for a flash, everyone understood that this was their own choice, or for honor, or for the sake of the creatures of the world, or just for a promise from friends, they must complete this story mission today, and only succeed, not fail.
"Okay, everyone just heard, our goal is the 99th floor at the top of the tower, the time is tight, the task is heavy, we must divide the labor and cooperate." Yi Xuan turned around and shouted loudly to the people behind him. "Due to the large number of our coalition forces, it is difficult to exert their strength in such a narrow terrain, so I decided to disperse the team, and our main line is to divide the troops into two ways: the first way, from the staircase to the top of the tower, aimed at depleting the number of enemy monsters and pinning down the enemy forces. The second way, Operation Portal, led by me, our main goal is to attack the top of the tower and organize the resurrection of the Shadow God. Next, the person who read the name was responsible for leading the team to walk the stairs to farm monsters, and the dwarf Caldir ......, "Yi Xuan assigns the tasks of everyone, and intends to assign all the people who are not in the same system as him to those roads that are relatively far away, so that he can ensure that he is the first to enter the top of the Dark Tower, the 99th floor, when will this be attacked?" They still have nearly 24 hours, and even if they go through the portal and the time to fight monsters, it is estimated that it will be enough.
The dwarven hero was obviously very unconvinced when he heard that he was assigned to the staircase group, but Edward knew Yi Xuan's final plan, these people were just delaying time, and he would not ruin his and Yi Xuan's overall plan because of their dissatisfaction, so Edward said to him solemnly: "In this battle, only the division of labor is different, the honor is the same, and you are fighting to stop the conspiracy of the Shadow God Cult." After speaking, he didn't think it was enough, so he added: "As a soldier, you have to obey orders, and if you join the Holy Light Council, you must obey the orders of the Holy Light Council." "The dwarven hero boss was reluctant, but he couldn't help it.
"Alright, let's do it." Yi Xuan saw that the most prickly person had been convinced, and immediately said to everyone, and as he spoke, he rushed up towards the teleportation platform on the second floor, where he could find a shortcut to the 99th floor, but only when he stepped up the stairs leading to the second floor, a large number of monsters flashed upstairs, and the battle was launched at once.
These monsters seemed to come out of the darkness by themselves, and they filled the surrounding gaps at once, and they were in a mess with the player and NP], Yi Xuan didn't have the time to waste time with these garbage monsters, he glanced at Yang Kai and shouted, "For justice." He rushed up to the second floor, Yang Kai followed, those monsters dodged as much as they could, fought a few times, and followed, the dwarf hero who was dissatisfied just now immediately pulled out the war hammer, roared and smashed at a half-beetle monster on the side, the dwarf tribe is brave and fierce, and when it starts, he can't care about anything, and he no longer cares how dissatisfied he is with the assignment to the task.
Along the way, groups of monsters poured up, dense like a tide, but at this time, Yi Xuan was already different from what it used to be, not only with the attribute bonuses provided by the sixth-level template, but also with the powerful strength improvement brought by the bloodline of the first generation of Nepharem, coupled with a top-notch luxury equipment, the combat power was simply off the charts, at this time he felt that the holy light energy in his body was like a substance, even if he did not use strengthening skills such as blood awakening, all his abilities had also reached the peak stage of the past.
A flash of holy light flashed, and his figure disappeared in place, and his body teleported as it brought out a golden phantom, straight through the pile of monsters, and when he reappeared, all those monsters in his path were reduced to ashes in the brilliant holy light.
"Damn, what's the situation?" Yang Kai, who followed closely, was obviously taken aback when he saw Yi Xuan so violent, and followed by the road that Yi Xuan opened, "Old Yi, you are too fierce, right?" The HP of these monsters is not low, why did you just disappear without making a move? ”
Yi Xuan looked at his whole body, at this time, his whole body was shrouded in holy light, and the whole person was like a golden god of war, dazzling in the dark monster pile.
"I don't know, is my holy light having a restraining effect on monsters?" Yi Xuan said with some hesitation, at this time he remembered that when he was fighting with one of the eight knights of the shadow, the other party summoned a shadow spirit, but this shadow spirit was very afraid of the holy light when Mary appeared, and now it seems that this is definitely not accidental, his holy light energy seems to be the nemesis of the shadow energy, as long as the energy reaches a large enough, it can completely achieve the effect of instant killing.
"But you weren't so powerful yesterday." Yang Kai is still a little puzzled, although it is a good thing for his brother to show his might in battle, but if he doesn't understand, he always has no bottom in his heart.
"Yesterday? Oh, I see. Yi Xuan's heart was bright, it seemed that this was because he had strengthened the relationship between the Nepharem bloodline, but he didn't expect that in addition to the improvement of physical fitness, even the energy with the holy light had also increased a lot, but at this time it was too late to say so much, Yi Xuan saw that a monster had rushed up, and a saber cut down and said to Yang Kai: "I'll tell you in detail when I go back, now hurry up." ”
At this time, the monsters on the stairs have been in full battle with the dwarves and the alliance's NP], and the players who followed up, including the alliance and the empire, were overjoyed to see this strange mountain and sea, and rushed up with a knife and axe, as the battle line got deeper and deeper, there were more and more such contact points, and the battle was in full swing, and for a time the first floor of the dark tower shouted and killed.
Just when Yi Xuan led the heroes and players of the Holy Light Council to storm towards the top of the Dark Tower, the ceremony at the top of the Dark Tower was also being carried out nervously, and at this moment, the top of the tower, which had never been opened like a player, welcomed his first batch of visitors, but the appearance of these visitors was not so comfortable.
In the middle of the top of the tower is a huge platform, the platform has been painted with lines at this time, a pentagram pattern is painted on the outside of many strange and distorted symbols, these symbols and lines are connected, forming a huge magic array, around this magic array, 2 shadow shamans in robes are surrounded by a stream of shadow energy, they stand at an equal distance on the two points of the magic array, the magic array is in a circle, and at the center point of the pentagram, that is, the center of the magic array, A man in a black robe was standing there, he kept twisting his body, as if he wanted to break free from some restraints, but there was nothing on his body except for those shadowy energies.
The Shadow Shamans had words in their mouths, strangely and shortly pronounced, sounding like they were singing, but they didn't fit into a tune.
Their bodies kept changing their gestures as the incantation was chanted, and suddenly the two shamans turned around and prostrate themselves facing the person in the circle, holding their hands high above their heads.
They reverently lowered their heads, looked at the ground, the sound of incantations in their mouths did not stop, they raised their hands high, stood up, and then there were repeated kneeling, between constantly kneeling and standing, a strange atmosphere slowly condensed, but the people they bowed to did not seem to appreciate it at all, he kept twisting the body, the bruises on his face flared up, and when he found that these efforts were in vain, he suddenly shouted at the priests: "Damn, you bastards, let me out quickly." "It's not Zhao Beifeng or which.
"What? Don't like the show I've given you? His face suddenly changed again, and he said in a completely different tone: "Zhao Beifeng, my most loyal servant, soon, you will be able to completely throw yourself into my arms." ”
"No" Zhao Beifeng shouted loudly, his body was firmly bound by the magic circle, completely unable to move, the dark shadow energy swirled around him, coiled, pinpointed his vulnerable place, and rushed in, immediately a chill came from that position, and as it continued to invade his body, he felt that his body was being deprived little by little.
At this time, Zhao Beifeng was different from the one Yi Xuan saw outside the tower, and now he seemed to have his own consciousness, at least he knew that the ritual in front of him was not a good thing for him, but he obviously didn't figure out why he got to where he is today.
He angrily shouted at the shadow priests, "You bastards, I am your master, I am your h6, let me out quickly." There was a furious fury in his heart, you must know that these Shadow Priests are all subordinates assigned to him by the system, and they used to be completely obedient to his orders, why did they look different now.
The prayers of those priests continued, and the voice in Zhao Beifeng's ears rang again: "Subordinates? You call them men? Interesting. Then he seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "But you are also my subordinate, I ordered you to stand here, why do you want to resist?" The shadow god's voice was full of mockery.
"No, it's not the same as we said before." Zhao Beifeng shouted loudly. "What the hell do you want?"
"Oh? Isn't it the same? What did we say before? Isn't it that I'm willing to give you the power to keep you from being killed by those players, and I've done it, haven't I? Now it's your turn to take up your obligations. ”
"But I didn't promise you to occupy me."
"Hahahahaha." The voice let out a burst of wild laughter, as if he had heard the most innocent and funny words at this time, and he finally stopped laughing halfway through, and said coldly: "Then what do you think I am going to enter your body for?" ”
His words made Zhao Beifeng speechless, once upon a time, how could he not understand what this meant, but at that time, he thought that things were under his control, and he thought that he could get rid of such a fate by relying on his own intelligence and brain, and even thought that he could defeat this so-called god in the end, but ......, why did things happen?
Zhao Beifeng thought silently in his heart, but for the Shadow God who already shared a body with him, this kind of silent thinking seemed to be no different from saying it out loud.
"How do you think things should be? What do you think you are? Do you really think you're some amazing character? No, no, no, you are nothing more than a puppet to me, a pawn at my disposal, and you can open your arms to your own impending destiny. ”
"No, never." The words of the God of Shadows seemed to pierce Zhao Beifeng's nerves, making him suddenly shout loudly, he wants to live, he wants to pass the final trial, he wants to return to the real world, dignified Zhao Beifeng, how can he die in such a ghost place
Another shadow force rushed in, causing his soul to shake again. But this time he didn't try to seize control of this sentence anymore, he stopped struggling, closed his eyes, and stood quietly, he wanted to keep himself awake with all his energy, and his brain echoed with the belief that "Yi Xuan will come to save me." He will come to my rescue. ”
"Haha, ridiculous." Although Zhao Beifeng was just talking to himself, he was now completely transparent to the Shadow God, and the Shadow God's tone was sneering: "Do you think a mortal can defeat a god?" ”
"Hmph." Zhao Beifeng finally calmed down and sneered: "Don't worry, he will stop your resurrection, have you forgotten?" The real core of this game is the player, and if you do come back to life, the players will not be able to fight against it, how can the system give you such a chance. "Player?" The God of Shadows smiled "hehe". "Then we'll see."
