Chapter 14: The Great Rift

A shining magical light shot out from the top of the magic tower, piercing straight to the center of the energy fluctuation, and the magical light was like a firework suddenly ignited in the twilight, causing a burst of amazement and praise from passers-by.

However, in the eyes of the fighters, everything is not so rosy.

Anything, floating in the air against the rules of gravity, consumes energy, and the Magic Tower is certainly no exception. In fact, the Rose Capital is not on the leyline energy node, and the magic tower here cannot extract nearly infinite energy from the energy node, so it can't float in the air almost forever like some floating islands and magic towers, after all, they float and consume their own accumulated energy.

The mages are a bunch of extremely stingy with energy, and they are not interested in letting their towers float in the air for meaningless energy consumption, and the city's four magic towers take turns to rise every day, which must have a purpose.

The purpose is defense.

The protective energy emitted by the heart of the city can indeed spread to dozens of kilometers away, forming a protection for the city, preventing the attack of demonic beasts and reducing the probability of the appearance of large rifts, but that refers to the plane state, and the protection range of the sky above is only a few hundred meters. If a monster attacks the city from the sky, or if a large rift appears over the city, it is easy to panic the citizens, and it may even lead to the city defense being breached, causing heavy casualties to the citizens.

Therefore, like those barracks guard towers at the edge of the city, the magic tower was lifted into the air, and the top of the tower was close to the edge of the protection range, just to protect the city and protect the citizens in the first place, just like what is done now.

"The Great Rift. Looking up at the place where the magic light had disappeared, Shul frowned tightly and muttered, "It's not a good thing that it appeared in the sky above the city. ”

"Brother, is this energy fluctuation the legendary Great Rift?" Lisa asked with some curiosity when she was in contact with this special danger for the first time, "It doesn't seem to be as dangerous as the legend." ”

Yes, the Great Rift is dangerous, and in the legends of any race and era, the Great Rift is extremely dangerous.

It is one of the three mysterious killers of Pavatiga, and it is juxtaposed with the otherworldly projection entrance that has no return and silently devours life, which shows how much notoriety it has in people's hearts.

The Great Rift, the full name of which is the Great Void Rift, manifests as a sudden tear in space, revealing a crack that connects to the unknown realm.

No one knows the reason for the birth of the Great Rift, and some scholars speculate that this is similar to the otherworldly projection, and it is also one of the manifestations of spatial instability, but it is just speculation, and there is no actual evidence.

People only know that the Great Rift is very dangerous, as long as it is within the scope of the Rift, whether it is life or matter, it will be swallowed by the Rift and annihilated in the Void. No one is immune, there were once several powerful demigods, teamed up to enter the rift to probe the root, they never returned, and even before the rift was closed, they had already disappeared, from body to soul, leaving no trace of what once existed.

Even the gods are silent about this, and the will of the gods can even enter the interior of the projection world through the entrance and exit of the otherworldly projection, but they are helpless against the great rift, let alone mortal people. It can be said that in terms of mystery, the Great Rift is definitely in the first place.

In fact, the big rift itself is not dangerous, from the appearance of signs to the complete opening, there will be a long process in between, anyone, even if they climb, the time is enough for them to climb beyond the scope covered by the rift, so the losses caused by the rift are often only economic, and the items destroyed are just painful.

The ones that are really dangerous, the ones that come with the Great Rift.

Whenever the Great Rift opened, some strange beings would emerge from it, some formless and insubstantial, as if a cloud of shadow-like cold energy bodies.

These energy bodies are not blocked by any matter, and they cannot be damaged by physical attacks, and even the protection of the Heart of the City has a limited effect on them, only energy attacks can cause them an effective blow, and there is no other way.

From the moment they appeared, they began to chase after the souls around them, and once they touched the souls without energy protection, they would be devoured and their bodies would die, whether they were intelligent beings or lower animals. Until enough life has been devoured, they dissolve into nothingness like snow melted in the sun, and no longer exist in the world.

Therefore, some scholars have put forward the concept of negative life, believing that they are a completely opposite thing to the soul, because positive and negative attract and chase life, and after touching enough life, positive and negative cancel out, and both sides dissipate at the same time. For this reason, they also gave these things a name, called Void Negative Life, but no one would want to use such a troublesome name, and everyone is more accustomed to calling them Void Evil Spirits.

Regardless of whether the theories of those scholars are correct or not, the threat of the Void Evil Spirit to life is real, especially to the vulnerable ordinary people. They are blurry and difficult to distinguish, although they are not fast, they are silent, never tired, unstoppable, nowhere to hide, and it is difficult for ordinary people to survive encounters.

It is not much of a threat to the warriors, and the Void Evil Spirit is quite fragile and can be destroyed at will. The largest Void Evil Spirit Invasion on record, tens of thousands of Void Evil Spirits were wiped out by three gold-level mages, of course, that was because there were no other people and animals nearby, and the Void Evil Spirits without intelligence instinctively targeted them, and did not choose to spread around, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with these monsters.

Moreover, the Void Evil Spirit is helpless against the soul with energy protection, as long as the warrior is careful and uses energy to protect the soul at all times, he will not be killed by the Void Demon, if he is careless and is attacked by the evil spirit, he deserves it.

The frequency of the Great Rift is actually not very high, and how large it appears in the inaccessible wilderness, the void evil spirits that gush out will soon be neutralized and disappeared by the animals in the wilderness, and it is difficult for people to even find them appearing. However, if the Great Rift happens unsuspectingly at the edge of the city, or even accidentally breaks through the protection of the heart of the city and erupts in the city, it will be a disaster, and then the Void Evil Spirit will pour out, and the city will be full of corpses.

This is not without precedent, the civil strife in the Kola Kingdom one hundred and fifty years ago was caused by a large rift in the city, which is a pain that can never be forgotten for the upper echelons of the Kola Kingdom.

"Boom Boom", three more shots of magic light shot at the location of the energy fluctuation, although the Great Rift is helpless after it cracks, but before it splits, it can be neutralized by energy attacks, so as to reduce its coverage and indirectly reduce the number of Void Evil Spirits.

Even with the attack of the magic light, the energy fluctuations were still very strong, and it was obvious that it was not a low-level rift eruption, fortunately it was forewarned in advance, otherwise heavy casualties would be an inevitable result.

But now, it's not so pessimistic.

At the location of the magic area, two figures slowly rose into the air in the twilight, their robes were blue and red, and there were strong magical fluctuations flowing on their bodies. Before the man arrived, the magic had already arrived, and the flames swept through the sky, the frost froze the air, and the power of ice and fire erupted around the chasm.

It's not just the two legendary presidents of the Magic Guild in the City of Roses who have taken action, the City of Roses is everyone's home, and no one will sit idly by and watch their home be threatened.

Therefore, the people who control the power can't sit still.

Dangdang, the guild area, or power area, came with a rapid bell, that is, the professional guild is calling their members in unity, once the rift opens the evil spirit invasion, it is up to these professionals living in the rose capital to protect the citizens.

"Huh", as the bell spreads, in the center of the power zone, a silver fighting qi slash from the bottom up, spanning a distance of hundreds of meters, accurately hit the core of the big rift, the fighting qi slash has not yet dissipated, and another fighting qi shoots out, majestic and indestructible.

People who are familiar with the City of Roses know that the owner of the Fighting Slash must be the legendary powerhouse personally invited by the Duke of Rose to come back to sit in the City of Roses, and Zack, the president of the Rose Capital Branch of the Swordsman Guild, is only a legendary powerhouse who can cross a distance of hundreds of meters with a sword without being powerful.

The sword aura is soaring, and the magic roars, but this is not enough, how can the battle of Pavadiga be without the majesty of the gods?

Outside the inner city, on the outskirts of the city, a rising sun.

Of course, there will be no morning sun in the twilight, but the light there is more brilliant than the morning sun.

In the light, a golden carriage without a horse roared into the sky, and a dying old man sat firmly on the carriage wearing a golden crown and holding a golden spear.

The wheels rolled, the light shone brightly, and the twilight turned into day.

"Lord Sur bless. "In the city, countless people prostrate on the ground, offering awe from the believers to the chariots in the sky.

There is no doubt that with such a bright light, it can only be the holy relic of the sun chariot given by the sun god Sur, and the only person who can control the solar chariot is the mortal walker of Suhr, the legendary archbishop Augusta of the Church of the Sun God.

While the carriage was still in the air, the old man had already raised the golden spear, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were filled with sudden sunlight, and as soon as the strong sunlight appeared from the tip of the spear, it had already shot into the center of the energy fluctuation, bursting out with an even more intense light.

"Tsk, everyone is working hard, this city, this world, is it really so cute?" Xiuer pouted, as an outsider, even if he has lived for four years, he doesn't feel how much he loves this world, in his heart, guarding his sister, protecting his lover and friends, this is enough, so he just shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "It seems that today is not a good day for a big meal, let's go, we should go home." ”

Yet, God loves the world.

"Brother?" Lisa looked at Shur in surprise, "Maybe there will be an invasion of the Void Demon, why don't we help defend it?"

"You're not fit for battle yet. Xiu'er frowned, shook his head, and said, "Besides, there are so many strong people in the Rose Capital, and there is no shortage of a few of us. ”

"I see. Lisa bit her lip and nodded slightly, although she lowered her head for the first time, the sadness and loss on her face still did not escape Shuer's eyes.

I don't want to go against my brother's wishes, I don't want to cause trouble to my brother, but I really want to be like the goddess and always protect those who need to be guarded in the mortal world.

The girl sighed secretly, restrained the expectation in her heart, took Shuer's hand and said softly, "Okay, brother, let's go home." ”

"Alas. Suddenly there was a helpless sigh from my brother, and the rough hand in his palm broke free, "I said that you should go home, but I didn't say that I would go back together." ”

You're talking about us!

Of course, Lisa would not have said such an inopportune word, and she could only look at her brother with rolling eyes in surprise.

"We'll definitely have a chance to fight together in the future, but not now, so don't talk about fighting side by side. Hurry home with these nasty dead kids, and wait for me to come back. ”

"As for me, I suddenly changed my mind, don't you think now is the best time to show the majesty of the Dark Moon? ”
