Chapter 22: Surprising
The "Time Stop" effect was generated, the silver faded, the darkness disappeared, the lightning froze in mid-air, the rain crystallized in silence, and the entire world was only a faint gray, and Alfonso, who was within the range of the spell, was like an insect frozen in ice crystals, maintaining a strange posture.
But at this moment, a crisp sound passed through the time of "stopping" and reached Douglas's ears, and then he saw the haze shatter inch by inch, as if it had been broken glass, and the world was shattered.
"This?" Since learning the nine-ring spell of "Time Stop", Douglas has never encountered such a situation when casting it, and the effect of the spell has been directly broken by an external force! Even if he is good at restraining his emotions, keeping calm, and blessing many spells, he is inevitably stunned at this time.
The "ice crystals" drifted away, and Alfonso returned to normal, but the lightning was still slow, and the rain seemed to stop, but there was a sparkling river in the sky, flowing endlessly, never to return, just like time.
This mighty "long river of time" woke up everyone in the effect of time stopping, broke the extreme quiet, and hung upside down, enveloping the Black Forest for dozens of kilometers nearby, making everything hazy, and the "water waves" rippling, like clear and dim underwater.
Whether it is Arnold, Douglas and Fernando in the distance, or Nelson, Congus and Amanata in the distance, they are all like entering the transparent amber, slowly but "firmly" "throwing" towards the central "river of time", their expressions are different, or angry or stunned, but they are also unable to control their own actions, just as no intelligent life can compete with the passage of time!
"Ketonia!"
Prihill in Tower of the Destroyer is slightly better. I was shocked to see that the starting point of the "Long River of Time" was a vague and distorted young man, his half-length black hair was flying fiercely, his hands and long sword were like water, and a pair of dark blue eyes with long vicissitudes looked down with a slight mockery, indescribably high-spirited, proud, as if it was the "Heart of Time" Ketonia!
According to intelligence, the "heart of time" Ketonia, who is still going around in circles in the south!
In the direction of the long sword, the "necromantic servants" who were the first to stand in front of the "Long River of Time" silently parted from it, and the rotting flesh turned into flying ashes, and the skulls, hand bones, and ribs fell to the ground in all directions.
The power of a sword. It's so terrifying!
"The Heart of Time?"
"Ketonia!"
"How so?"
"How could he be here?"
Congers, Nelson, Douglas and others have all turned their attention to Arnold. Didn't Pyrrh lead him to the south in circles? Didn't he confirm that he was still in the south based on various intelligence?
While they looked at Anold, they were still casting spells, trying to get out of trouble, but they were under the influence of "the long river of time". They are sluggish. Slowness of thinking. Even the magic is unusually slow!
All of a sudden, emotions such as fear, confusion, consternation, and despair bubbled up in the hearts of everyone.
"Is that you?" said Prihill and the others as if they heard Arnold's long sigh.
"It's me. A figure appeared behind Ketonia, wrinkled. Hook Nose turned out to be the vice president of the Wizards' Union, Rig!
His face was still gloomy, but with a vicious and happy smile, his voice sounded in every soul: "I was just selling a little information in exchange for benefits, and I didn't want to destroy the entire organization, but you old guy actually sent me on such a dangerous mission, and you are all to blame for your current situation!"
"Haluha, thanks to Rig's intelligence, I finally have a chance to completely wipe out your organizations!" Alfonso let out a cruel and contented grin, and the cardinals and paladins nearby quickly approached him and protected him.
"Damn traitor!" was the first thought that crossed the minds of Prihill, Nelson, Congus, and Amanata.
Fernando roared even more: "Old fellow, filthy traitor!"
Time is like water, soaking away this valley and forest, all the magicians within this range, the spell is frequently mistaken, there is no way to escape, which makes them desperate, angry, and aggrieved, Congus and other high-level mages began to prepare for self-destruction, in the prepared place to resurrect.
After smashing Arnold's necromantic servants with a single sword and restricting everyone's movements, Ketonia raised the sword in his hand again, and the clear voice echoed in everyone's hearts: "It's a pity that there are only a few archmages......"
A faint pride filled the words, and he didn't take Arnold, Douglas and others in his eyes at all.
And except for the lich who only had bones, the faces of the others were slightly gray, as if death was imminent, and the coercion of the second-order epic knight was not ordinary!
As soon as Ketonia's words fell, a face suddenly stood out in the darkness behind him, "he" was huge, wearing a black hood, his eyes were two pale flames, his mouth was open, and he emitted a rugged syllable that ordinary people could not hear, like a coming death!
A black whirlwind erupted directly from the soles of Ketonia's feet, enveloping him and Rig.
This whirlwind was as misty as smoke and lifeless, even if you just looked at it, dozens of clergy and night watchmen below the high-ranking and below quickly rotted their flesh and turned into a dazed skeleton!
The bones of the necromantic servants that had just been smashed and scattered by Ketonia exploded one by one, emitting a miserable white smoke, engulfing the forest and valley in an instant, only the skull, which flew up and fell into the huge face, condensed in mid-air A tall thin figure dragging a long black robe, one after another soul faces surrounded "him", emitting a terrible wail, as if singing his praises and praising him!
This figure was very similar to the necromantic servant just now, except that the black scythe floated into the air, as if waiting to harvest life.
Yes!
In the white smoke, a cardinal suddenly screamed, and a faint soul was directly pulled out of the shell and melted into the smoke.
The souls of priests, bishops, night watchmen, and paladins also flew out and joined the ranks of the necromantic who reveled in the smoke, and the trees withered, and the creatures decayed, and except for the magicians and a few clergy, this was already a lifeless realm of the dead!
The white smoke began to condense, and vague faces of fear, pain, and distortion floated in between, forming a cage that trapped the black whirlwind.
A crack suddenly opened on the black whirlwind, like a wave of water eroded out, and at the same time, a cardinal and paladin behind Alfonso suddenly erupted, one inviting a storm of fire, and the other directly self-destructing, breaking Alfonso by surprise and shattering his soul.
"You?" Alfonso, who was still proud, never thought that this would happen, even if he died, only a faint shock remained.
Armed with the Sword of Time, Ketonia burst out of the black whirlwind and was just in time to see this scene, while Rig turned into a dried corpse without any water, falling directly from the sky, all his life-saving magic could not work, only the fear of disbelief on his face.
"Invade the mind, weave memories, death storm, the fog of revenant souls......" Ketonia muttered a few words to herself, and then looked at the mysterious person beyond the fog with a solemn expression and a little surprise, the mage who was "surrounded" and "worshipped" by soul faces: "...... Tannanos"
As he spoke, his figure became blurred, holding a long sword, flickering forward, as if traveling through different time and space, in order to avoid the blockade of the "Fog of the Revenant".
The change was so sudden and so rapid that Prihill, Nelson, and the others didn't react, and they watched as it happened, until they heard Ketonia talk to themselves, and they suddenly woke up.
"Your Excellency the Lord of Death!"
Nelson's voice was full of surprise.
"Death Lord!"
Congus, Prihill and Amanata were surprised with disbelief.
Douglas was the first of them to react, but he didn't interfere with the change just now, because he found that he was not strong enough to participate!
At this time, he looked at Arnold in confusion, amusement and consternation, how did his necromantic servant suddenly become the legendary pinnacle of the Empire, the last consul of Arthur's empire, the "Lord of Death" Tannanos?
"Old fox, what's going on?" roared Fernando, feeling that he had been tricked, and it didn't seem to matter if he was acting this time or not!
There was no trace of consternation on Annold's face, and he coughed, "Get out of here first, or do you want to be affected by the legendary battle?"
As he spoke, a colorful light flew out of his hand, flew into the air, and exploded into a brilliant firework.
Ignoring the question and "beating" Arnold, Prihill gave him a sideways glance and let the "Tower of the Destroyer" run, and Congus, Nelson, and Amanata also turned away and went to the meeting place where the previously agreed mission was completed.
Douglas and Fernando followed Arnold through the Black Forest, towards the distance, when they suddenly raised their heads with a sense of feeling, and saw a gap in the air of the battle, and a clear old man with closed eyes walked out, and a cold girl like an ice sculpture flew in from the north.
"Psychic Storm!"
"Wall of Aurora!"
Two obscure voices came from afar, and Fernando glared at Anold: "So, the real target this time is actually the 'Heart of Time'?
"Ahem, I said, 'Sometimes, traitors are more valuable to us. Arnold looked at him with a smile. (To be continued......)
