Chapter Twenty-Six: The Shadow of the Dead Sea
"So...... I started. The man pressed his hand lightly on the crystal, and the thick green light quickly burst out, and the dome of the hall gradually dissolved into nothingness under the reflection of the light, revealing a black-red sky.
"The final plan has begun, latecomers, prepare for the thick darkness before dawn!"
A deep voice rang out from the bottom of each traveler's heart, and at the same time, countless points of light shimmering with seven-colored brilliance were suspended in the air.
"The invading undead will be scattered across three thousand two hundred and seventy-six defensive circles, and each floating star you see is the manipulation core of a defensive circle." A deep voice slowly narrated, "Each person can carry one, but the bearer of the star point can only enter the circle that belongs to him. At the same time, the controller of the circle can bring companions who do not carry stars into their own defensive circle...... The remaining defensive circles will activate themselves to strike at the invading undead. ”
"In a tenth of an hour (note (1)), the Tower of the Celestial Instrument will lock on the Death Gem floating above the heavenly vault, fix the Blood Moon and initiate purification, and the gathered life force will inevitably attract our compatriots who have been corrupted by the power of death, and it is up to you."
"Hint: The final chapter of the World Mission, the hymn of life, is officially opened, and the Traveler's House will reward each traveler according to their performance in this battle. Because you have the help of the magic circle, the general points you get from killing enemies will be greatly reduced, and because the main purpose of this mission is to protect, your damage to low-level enemies will not be counted in the contribution. ”
Wan Ling also took advantage of the situation to mix in.
[I thought it was a group battle...... I didn't expect it to turn out like this. The sky scratched his head in annoyance. [Still immature! The 'Book of Righteous Anger' is a waste. 】
"Do you fight in a squad?" Zeus waved his scepter, and a star flew in front of him: "I can do it myself, you can do it yourself." ”
With that, the stars flashed in front of him, and disappeared into the hall with his figure.
“…… It's enough for me alone. The Asian man who was following Zeus with a spear glanced at his teammates and took a star point for himself.
……
"According to the previous squad grouping, the captain can choose from within yourself." President Zhong of the Second Yuan Tongmeng Association gently pushed the black-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose: "Of course, if you think it's inappropriate, you can also adjust it appropriately." ”
……
"That's what it looks like." Mo asked a move, pinched a star point and closed his eyes for a moment: "You guys are close to me, ready to go." ”
……
Just as the travelers disappeared into the hall in twos and threes, a large amount of death power frantically gathered towards the castle suspended in the sky, forming a huge vortex of energy around it. But even so, the fantastic castle is already slowly falling.
Three minutes later, the massive complex finally fell back to the ground, a loud roar accompanied by a wave of smoke and dust that spread in all directions.
"Forbidden spells. Silent Space Launch ...... Successfully hit the target, and the Death Gem begins to lock...... Locked," a mechanical voice sounded, and the tops of the twelve towers that surrounded the castle in the center lit up with colorful light at the same time.
"The Plan of Salvation...... It's officially started! ”
The power of death that poured into the castle was instantly transformed into life force, and the majestic life force formed a huge ball of light above the castle.
At this time, the souls of the undead who were sleeping in the earth were lit up one after another.
The ball of light of the life force gathered larger and larger, and finally, a pillar of light several meters in diameter shot straight into the sky.
……
In the defensive circle built by the ancestors.
"Damn! This power! Hela, who belonged to the Legendary Alliance, covered her brain uncomfortably, her beautiful blonde hair drooping dishevelly, "How can I fight under the suppression of such a life force!" ”
In fact, Hela, who is proficient in death spells, directly uses her control of the power of death to easily destroy her opponents when facing the enemies before, but now she can only use two or three percent of her magic power under the suppression of this life enchantment......
……
"Is this a defensive circle?" Mo Wen looked at the open spaces in front of him and sighed, "This is clearly the technique of mustard seed Sumeru...... It's subspace. ”
"Subspace?"
"That is to say, we in this space have now left the original world with one foot......" Mo Wen closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "And the air is filled with quite strong life force...... This will not only suppress the power of those bone frames, but also greatly increase our endurance. ”
"Thousands of two-star and three-star travelers are in their hands...... However, the difficulty of this task is hellish. Mo Wen's eyes flashed: "Little guys, get ready for the next hard battle!" ”
……
“…… It's a big scene. The firmament looked at the pillar of light that soared into the sky and sighed, although the travelers were guarding the magic circle in another dimension, they could still observe the situation in the outside world by manipulating the stars of the magic circle.
"Firmament, I think now you should tell us about the purpose of the circle." Ziyu is holding a spear in her hand, and she is heroic.
"Use......" The sky thought for a while: "The basic effect is to suppress the death power in the entire space and strengthen our recovery ability, and then I can unleash three large-area killing spells, five powerful single spells, and three small-area spells every twelve minutes or so...... Well, that's all. ”
"That's right." Zi Yu looked back at her companion: "Little girl Dongying, can you use your ability to create some obstacles in this space?" ”
"......," the blue-purple girl nodded silently.
……
"Is this my battlefield? as a stage for God...... It's a bit monotonous. Zeus stood alone on the empty earth, his face expressionless.
……
"The specific time until the day of the end is 7,233,627 years, a total of 1,372 defensive circles have been activated, and the remaining 2,904 circles have entered a state of self-operation...... The number of active circles exceeded one-tenth of the total, and the structure of the circles began to be adjusted with Plan B...... "In the hall, which was empty due to the departure of travelers, countless lines like circuits lit up from the ground.
……
Less than a minute after the emerald pillar of light that pierced through the blood moon appeared, a black shadow appeared on the horizon and quickly spread towards the castle.
And so it was...... It's just incomprehensible. And with the help of the magic circle, Mo Wen was able to accurately observe the strength of each undead, but getting the information also made him a little desperate.
The undead of two stars and three stars can be seen everywhere like cabbage, and the four-star guys are also a dozen and a dozen everywhere, but Mo Wen is powerless or these guys:
The Sword of Wailing, the soul of a skilled swordsman, five stars; Broken Spirit, the soul of a fallen archmage corrupted by the power of death, a resentful spirit, five stars; Death Commander, he was once a legion commander with extremely high martial arts cultivation, and after his death, his body was awakened by the unparalleled power of death, a six-star ......
[As long as such a guy rushes over, one of our guys who is holding up the three stars is still fighting? ] Mo Wen swallowed deeply. [Not only the quality is high, but the quantity should also be counted in 10,000, right? I don't know how many tens of millions of undead...... Even if it's all one star, you have to cut it softly! But then again, why aren't there one-star undead? Could it be that they didn't move fast enough to make it over? 】
"The enemy is strong?" When the little black god saw Mo Wen's expression, his heart sank slightly.
"Powerful?" Mo Wen shook his head: "If we don't have this magic circle, it's crushing!" ”
"Isn't it?" Lias was a little unconvinced: "What if there are more of those skeletons?" Except for a few who have a little ability, the rest of the fundamentals will be broken when touched......"
"That was before." Mo Wen glanced at her angrily: "These guys who rushed over are much stronger than the ones before." ”
"Odds of winning?" The little vampire was a snowstorm at this point.
"It depends on whether the suppression of the life realm shrouded in this castle is not enough." Mo Wen stomped his foot slightly, and the four walls of earth rose, enclosing the unidentified device above the magic circle behind him.
……
"Are we just going to guard things?" The woman in the costume touched the glittering magical structure with some curiosity, and she could feel the fiery energy echoing beneath the cold shell.
"Yes." The firmament replied, "You must know that it is not a simple matter to open up a half-plane, I guess they just carve out a relatively stable half-plane and then rely on this device to separate...... This thing is the hub that separates the different dimensions. ”
"Divide the space and stabilize it?" Zi Yu on the other side also put his hand on it: "Even in our world, this is a great technology." ”
"It's different...... firmament shook his head: "The degree of spatial stability of each world is different, if the spatial stability of your world is the same as that of this world, then the Moon of the Spike and the Gate of the Stars will definitely not be regarded as the Five Extremes Heavenly Style." ”
"Then can you use the power of your talent to cut the space now?"
"Even if I could, I wouldn't dare." The firmament shook his head: "This half-plane is not very stable, if I shatter the space at will, it is likely to cause the space to collapse." ”
……
The shadow of death spread rapidly, and soon rushed into the green curtain of light around the castle.
Then Mo Wen finally understood why he hadn't seen the undead of the first star.
All the undead were stunned the moment they touched the light curtain, and then their movements slowed down, and many two-star undead turned into broken bones after walking a few steps in this faint green light - the two-star undead are still like this, and the one-star undead are afraid that they will lie down before they touch this life realm.
"It's coming......" Ai Wuxian, who was standing alone in the magic circle, his eyes lit up, and the red sword in his hand was cold.
"Are zombies besieging the city? Suddenly there is a feeling of an American drama blockbuster! The man surnamed Zhong pushed his glasses and adjusted the external perspective of the circle to a downward view: as far as the eye could see, there was a pale green ghostly fire, spreading from the city to the sky, sweeping like a raging wave.
……
"Little ones, take care of yourself." Mo Wen handed a two-star dagger to the black god Mutaki: "I probably won't be able to take care of you in this situation...... Be careful yourself. ”
"Black God...... Xiaobai will be handed over to you. Lias hesitated and handed the kitten out of her arms. You should dodge this battle first, after all, you have not experienced actual combat. ”
"This ......," the little black god looked up at Mo and asked.
"Nope." Mo Wen touched his chin and decisively rejected Lias's opinion: "It's rare that she won't really die if she is fatally injured here, so it's good for her to accumulate some actual combat experience here...... If you have to worry about Xiaobai, put it in the earthen wall. ”
“…… Got it. Lias picked up the kitten and jumped gently into the wall.
……
Time passed minute by minute, and the necromancers kept passing through the light curtain that protected the castle, and the little black god's white and tender face had begun to ooze a trace of sweat...... Finally, an undead staggered to the end of the space.
"The battle has begun!" Mo Wen raised the shadow of the clouds and rushed out.
……
"This realm of life is the key!" Long Aotian threw a punch in his hand, shattering the body of the undead. "This four-star undead that I need a little effort to take, can only exert about two-star combat power in this life realm...... It seems that we still have hope of winning. ”
"Husband, how long are we going to hold on?"
"No more than six and a half hours at most, because the longest duration of the spell that activates the Life Crystal is that long." Long Aotian said softly: "It's about half a day...... Lan'er, you just need to bless me with spells, and leave the battle to me. ”
"Hmm."
……
"Thunder is my scepter!" Zeus waved his golden scepter, and several thick lightning bolts shot down out of thin air, blasting the undead who appeared into pieces.
……
"It's too weak." Ai Wuxian sneered, the sword light flashed, and the sound of dense broken bones sounded.
……
The strong men who guarded the magic circle alone naturally had the upper hand in the face of the tide of necromancers, and the traveling team that traveled together relied on each other's cooperation to steadily catch the undead's attack.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
An hour later.
"Moexiang, go back!" Facing the tide of necromancy that was about to fill the entire space, Mo Wen's eyes flashed.
The little vampire who heard Mo Wen's call was stunned, and then used his petite body to quickly pass through the gap between the necromancy, and came to Mo Wen's side.
[The timing is just right.] Mo Wen pinched the sword trick in his hand, released a circle of true fire to protect himself, and then activated the spell in the defensive circle with the help of the star point.
Crimson flames swirled from the ground, roaring and burning a swath of the undead to ashes...... But soon, the undead who poured into the space filled the void, and the small space was crowded again.
"Tsk...... Endless! When is it a leader? Mo Wen spat helplessly. Sooner or later, I'm going to have a phobia of intensity. ”
……
[It's boring......] Ai wielded his sword mechanically. [Annoying garbage...... Just think of it as today's training. 】
……
Compared to a warrior who uses a medium-sized weapon such as a sword, a warrior with a weapon such as a spear and a halberd can deal with these undead with much easier. You don't need any moves at all, as long as you have enough physical strength and strength, you can play a record without making a mistake if you throw off your arms and pull hard.
Just like the Asian man who belonged to the League of Legends, the quaint gun seemed to be nothing in his hand, and it lightly drew arcs one after another, and everywhere it passed, the dead were scattered.
Jingling! Just when the man was quite bored rushing to kill, the big gun he waved was suddenly blocked. However, he is also a warrior of a hundred battles, and he reacted quickly, relying on listening to the wind to identify the position and dodging the attack.
"Four stars!" The black-haired man's eyes shrank and he clenched his love gun.
……
"Four stars!" The face of the leader of a traveler squad changed: "MT resist, DPS keeps up, and the boss is open!" ”
Note (1): See Chapter 23, where the creatures of this world divide the day into twenty-one quarter-hour hours, and the cycle of the sun and moon in this world is about twenty-six hours according to earth time, and one-tenth of an hour is about seven minutes of earth time.
