Section F Chapter 45: Guladan-1 (Adjutant/Ranger)
There really isn't any other entrance...... Very puzzled, Denor, who rushed to the captain's side, looked around by the light of the fire: even underground, the snow fog was so thick.
"Look carefully for the entrance, there must be. The enemy can't hide here, they will be spotted by Lusa. The elf swapped the torch in his left hand and drew the leather whip from his waist: "For example, the passage of the secret room, haven't the enemy always loved to use this thing?"
"It's likely that there is a teleportation circle that Rusha and the others found outside the city, so it's not difficult for the Corruptor to disappear out of thin air. Interjecting, Eddes muttered, "It's the kind of thing that needs to be hit on the tip before it works...... Maybe there's some kind of metal disc at the bottom......"
Before the words fell, just as the second group of guards had just descended to the ground, a magic array with black and blue light suddenly appeared in the center of the underground space. Nearly hitting it, Derno was so frightened that he fell back and leaned against the cave wall.
A black mist emerged from the center of the circle. In the mist, a huge beast with complete joints and body made up of large rocks loomed into the mist.
"Stone Devil...... Guladan?!" staring at the summoned beast's body in shock, the elf immediately calmed down after a moment of shock: no, this was not Guladan - at least not his consciousness. Although the color of this stone demon is also the icy blue that symbolizes the snow, black smoke is emitted all over its body.
Although he convinces himself that this is not Guradan, if you exclude the black smoke on its body, this stone demon that was more than four meters tall in its original form looks like Lucina's favorite demon in every way. The most recognizable is the red glow of its eyes—other stone goblins usually only turn red when they are angry again. But since Guladan is Lucina's demon summoning beast, there is no such restriction.
It is precisely because of this that he can always maintain the terrifying combat power that his fellow clan can only liberate in a state of anger.
If it's really the controlled Guladan, then where is Lucina now? And Lusa just mentioned to me that Lucina can't cast spells these days...... Feeling very bad, Cyberdat pulled the equally stunned Lusa behind him, and asked in a loud voice to Guladan, who could understand human language, "Hey, Guladan! Is that you?"
After that familiar roar, the stone demon suddenly slammed into the ground, knocking everyone present with a violent shockwave. Staggering up from the ground, the elf drew his longbow in disbelief, his heart filled with shock and puzzlement: what the hell is going on?
"Stand back, stay away from him!" Pushing the torch to Derno, Eders drew his shield sword and turned his head and yelled, "Everyone, retreat to the ground at once!"
Just two seconds after the wise retreat order was given, Gulladan slammed his palms together and gathered the power of the earth to pull out a boulder. With a roar, the boulder was slammed towards the entrance, blocking the staircase solidly. Unfortunately, as soon as the third group of guards fell to the ground, they were crushed to death by the rocks and crushed under the boulders. The large pool of blood flowed out slowly, clearly visible in the light of the torch.
"Captain, the exit is completely sealed!" shouted in horror, and the two soldiers who had just tried to retreat retreated tremblingly: "We are locked up here!"
"Lao Tzu is not blind!" yelled back impatiently, Edus's expression showed that he was hiding his fear: "You want to sit still?!
"Wait, Captain Edus, don't go near it!" Hurriedly stopped him and a group of timid soldiers, and Sebodat keenly observed a hint of strangeness: "Didn't you notice that the summoning circle has not disappeared after the summoning is completed, and the enemy has not rushed to attack us, and it has not yet become a gigantic ......."
"Keep your distance from them!" After giving the order to stop, Eddes looked at the ranger in astonishment: "Mr. Ellens, I have always heard that the ranger is well-informed...... But how do you know that the enemy is going to get bigger?"
"Captain, this is Miss Lucina's summoned beast. Hurriedly leaning into the captain's ear, Derno whispered, "That Stone Demon Guradan who broke the gate after getting bigger and helped recapture the Cold Snow Castle...... I remember she told you what this makes the demon look like, right?"
"Exactly. Seeing that the captain's face was already a little red, Cyberdat stared at Guladan and frowned: "And you see...... He looked in pain now. Gulladan was apparently forcibly summoned by the enemy and controlled with black smoke. ”
That seems to be the case...... Derno's heart was amazed when he looked at the stone demon for the first time: it knelt on one knee with its head in its hands made of large pieces of rock, and kept letting out a low, painful wail. At first glance it sounds scary, but when you think about the notes, it looks like a crying child.
"This shows that Guladan is rebelling against the control of the enemy, and that person is most likely a black ice mage. He is also the favorite demon of high-level summoners, and the magic power in his body is extremely powerful. Frowning, the elf lowered the brim of his hat: "This is also due to the fact that Lucina was able to summon it from the Seventeen Worlds through the magic net attached to her body through the magic power of the summoning stone, so the connection between the master and servant is not stable." Moreover, the Black Ice Mage is not familiar with the magic rules of the other worlds of the World Tree, so it is difficult to control the elemental creatures of the other world. ”
"That is, once he succeeds in resisting, he won't attack us again, right?" Eddes still didn't look convinced.
"Even if he is still barely controlled by the other party, I'm afraid that the stone demon can only stay where he is under his control, and he can't get out of the center of the circle. After thinking about it carefully, the elf made a judgment: "This circle is the key to restraining it, if only it could be destroyed." It's a pity I don't know how to spell this ......"
"Then, if you say that, you can find a way to drag it away from the circle!" Looking at the stone demon whose roar became more and more deafening, Derno was a little frightened: "Looks like it's probably going to be controlled again soon-"
I don't know how many times I have been interrupted to speak, the stone demon roared wildly, and in an instant, he waved away the arm that hugged the top of his head, and slowly straightened up. After Eders angrily scolded Derno for being a crow's mouth, he stepped back and shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone disperse!
Several soldiers present scattered in a hurry, rushing to the corner of the wall where no one was standing. However, at this moment, the stone demon who was kneeling on one knee raised his arm again and slammed it into the ground.
