Chapter Ninety-Three: The End of the Ritual
The course of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations.
Shuer's actual combat ability is very strong, this is known to everyone, melee ability is not inferior to the king of close combat, Baron Dark, even if it is close combat, it will not fall into the disadvantage, and although the long-range ability is not strong enough because of the characteristics of the divine arts, but the victory is strong enough to be stable and durable, we continue to change positions in the battle, make up for the shortcomings with advantages, and under the combination of far and near, let the combat effectiveness increase geometrically, among the members of the team, no one dares to say that they will be able to defeat Shuer, and even the vast majority of people have to sigh to themselves.
But that was before.
After the last few adventures, every Chengdu in the team has been substantially improved, has entered the realm of legends, and the strength has skyrocketed to a new height, and Xiuer has been running around for more than a year, and the strength should still be in place, and it is impossible to have the strength to confront everyone head-on. Moreover, even if Shuer has been promoted and is on the same level as everyone again, but now it is an eight-to-one situation, and Shuer is still just a mortal and not a god in the end, and it is impossible to have any chance of winning with one against eight.
Even before the start of the battle, everyone still believed in their own judgment, but the truth played a very bad joke on everyone.
Once he fought, everyone was surprised to find that his understanding of power may still be at the end of the golden level, at most touching the threshold of the legendary terrace, and he did have a certain distance from everyone, but his mastery and application of power, including the total amount of energy that can be called in the body, far exceeded the level that a legendary level should have, and everyone even thought that it was almost close to the level of a demigod.
This is like a rich man with a huge amount of assets but no understanding of too complex ways of working, which may not pose a threat to a merchant of the same level of wealth, but to a second-level competitor the threat is quite large, so big that he doesn't even need to use too complicated ways of operating, and can pile up enemies by numbers alone.
This is exactly the case now, the bottomless energy allows Shuer to squander it wantonly, and the energy control of the eight enemies, no matter how subtle, is difficult to resist this kind of unreasonable crushing battle, and the attack launched by himself with great effort, Shuer only needs to gently swing the mace to easily eliminate it, but Shuer's seemingly inconspicuous casual blow, the energy contained in it is enough to kill, so that the fighters have to do their best to defuse it.
It was only then that everyone remembered what Shuer had just said, that you are not my opponent here. At the time, I thought that this was a very normal psychological warfare, purely to create psychological pressure on everyone, but now it seems that he is just stating the facts, even if everyone joins forces and does their best, they may not be able to pose a threat to Xiuer, let alone defeat him.
Yes, it's hard to even break through the defenses.
Shur stood casually in front of the gate of the building, holding a mace in each hand, the left hand as the main attack, the right hand as the leader, as in the usual battle. But his speed is unimaginably fast, often the attacks of the fighters have not been fully launched, Shuer's defense is already in place, even the fastest Saf, can not keep up with Shuer's speed, and in the occasional attack, the power contained is even greater than imagination, the strongest Dak, the strongest defense of Mobuck, even if the two join forces, it is difficult to hard-connect, often the next attack, you have to take a few steps back to defuse, otherwise you may have already been injured.
As for Macajelen's situation, it is quite embarrassing, Shuer has his back to the gate, so that he can't attack from behind, and the special environment is due to the existence of multiple light sources, the building, the human body, so there is almost no shadow, so that he can't escape into the shadows, the two strongest attack methods are completely contained, so that he feels constrained, can only wander far away on the periphery, occasionally rushing to attack, but Shuer is easily driven back to the periphery, he is now not knowing how to start, can only pin his hopes on his teammates in the distance.
The problem is that even the effectiveness of ranged attacks has been weakened to a minimum.
Since there are no corpses here, and the nature of the Dark Moon power suppresses the revival of the dead, Miridi did not use the most bizarre undead magic, but used the dark attribute magic to cooperate with Mia, the two mages carried out a single assault on Shuer from afar, while the other magician Yulia was full of firepower, the spars were constantly evacuated like consumables that didn't need money, dozens of magic guides were cooled in cycles, and the carpet bombardment never stopped from the beginning.
But the most fierce attack did not come from them, the most fierce attack was Lin Jing's arrows and spears.
Combining the dual powers of physics and magic, coupled with the unique talent of the forest spirit race, Moria's two ranged attacks are quite a headache, and the arrows fly faster than the sound, and the previous enemies often have been pierced by the arrows before they even hear the sound of the props flying. Moreover, the penetration attached to the flying props is extremely strong, and each attack is enough to penetrate the heavy metal, so that people have no time to defend and cannot defend at all.
Countless times of cooperation with each other, so that the teammates have long formed a tacit understanding, Mobuck is the main defense, Duck and Saf are the main attack, Macageren is swimming and deterring, but the melee combat is actually containment, attracting the enemy's attention to the greatest extent, and then the long-range teammates launch a truly threatening attack,
However, it doesn't work.
For the vast majority of long-range attacks, Shuer only needs to point at the hammer from afar, and a huge amount of energy will immediately gush out, and the long-range attacks can be scattered, and there is no longer a threat at all, even if it is occasionally too late to deal with it, and the long-range attack breaks through the defensive circle, Shuer is not in a hurry, he simply ignores it and ignores it, and lets the attack approach him.
And around him, like many demigods, it seems that a solidified energy defense circle has been formed by the energy of the gaze, Mia's magic, Miridi's bone spurs, Yulia's magic channel, and even Moria's physical attack, when it approaches his body, it will be easily bounced away, and it will not be able to break through Shuer's defense at all. It can be said that Shuer relied on this powerful energy that came out of thin air, and steadily suppressed the eight former teammates, and in more than ten minutes, the eight people had some respite in order to maintain a full load of attacks, but Shuer was still relaxed, not only did all the attacks not cause him harm, not even the corners of his clothes were touched, even the holy robes on his body were neat and spotless, and the smile on his face was still indifferent.
It's a very strange change in strength, everyone can be sure that when they last met not long ago, Shuer was far from being so powerful, and because he had to fight against the gods, it was obviously impossible for Lord Luna to give him too much power, so the possibility of using the divine power to improve himself was also ruled out, and the improvement of the divine power was not the same effect as it is now, everyone really couldn't imagine how he did it.
The more you don't understand, the more you want to find the cause, because there is a reason for any abnormal situation, and if the cause is fundamentally solved, the abnormal can be restored to normal, which is the only way to reverse the current critical situation.
Unfortunately, they don't know, or the vast majority of the eight don't.
Only Moria and Saf knew, because during the battle, Shul occasionally showed a little skin under the robes, and on the skin, the two saw a shocking red, red blood, written on the skin in the form of some mysterious text. As the two closest to Shuer, they know Shuer better than the others, so they know Shuer's secret method from his hometown, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the secret method.
It's good, the reason was found, but it makes no sense.
The two know very well that Xiu'er's secret method has a strict time limit, and the greater the consumption, the shorter the duration, although in the projection world, Xiuer once had the experience of making the secret method last for several hours, but it was based on the fact that it didn't need to consume a lot of energy, after all, it was just a wild run, and compared with the current battle, the consumption was almost negligible.
And if she wants to maintain the current intensity of the battle, and it has lasted for so long, at least Moriah doesn't think that Yishuer's physical condition can withstand it, so there must be a deeper reason behind the reason.
Without thinking too much, Moriah can find the answer, because Shul has made it clear to everyone that you are not opponents here, and there is no doubt that Shul uses this place as one of the control points, filling the energy of the entire ritual circle, constantly repairing his damaged body while consuming, and even reaching a dynamic balance.
Therefore, the only way to crack it is to destroy the properties of this place, that is, to enter the temple behind him, regain the last control point, and let the energy of the ritual circle no longer be called by him. In this way, if you don't enter the temple, you can't defeat Shur, and if you don't defeat Shur, you can't enter the temple, so the endless loop is formed, no wonder Shure is not worried about failure at all, because it is impossible for his teammates to break the dead loop, and he can't fail.
It's not strange that Shure is not worried or in a hurry, but the problem is that Moria, who knows everything, is not in a hurry at all, which is very strange. Although Moria's posture of attacking with all her strength was still maintained, she always smiled, as if she had already seen the dawn of victory, so that even Xiu'er, who was sure that she would not lose, had to be vigilant and be on guard against any unexpected moves from Lin Jing at any time.
However, it's a pity that if a forest spirit wants to do something unexpected, even if ten thousand people are combined, they can't prevent it.
When the battle was fierce, Lin Jing suddenly retreated, quickly withdrew from the battle circle, and the full tacit understanding made the other seven people move with it to open the distance, for a while, the fierce battle came to an abrupt end, the two sides were far away, everyone held weapons, surrounded Moria in a defensive posture, waiting for Moria to explain what she was going to do, but Moria did not explain, nor did she defend, but instead pulled the full attack, pointed at Shuer, and the arrows exuded endless threats.
"It's useless. Xiuer looked up at the sky, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, this was a sign that the energy of the ritual circle was about to reach its limit, and the ritual could disintegrate and explode at any time, "Xiaolu, you know, your attack can't even break through my energy protection, let alone hurt me." Besides, even if you break through, what can you do? Two minutes, two minutes later, everything will be over, even if you defeat me, it will be too late to change the outcome, and I will win this battle in the end. ”
"Huh, really?" said Moria, tilting her head and grinning, "You rely on that paradox to be so confident, once the ritual is out of your control, you will become the former Shur, no, no, no, no, you will become a dying Shur." ”
"I know I can't hide it from you. Shuer was stunned and said with a smile, "But it's too late to say anything, and even time is on my side." ”
"Hehehe, I'll ask you two questions, Shure. Moria said leisurely, "First, the one behind you is not Lisa at all, but Delia." ”
Shuer's face changed.
"The control node is actually not here at all, and on the real Lisa's side, you use the divine power to cover up the difference between the energy between Delia and Lisa, and then use the power of Delia's faith to impersonate Lisa, the purpose is to use yourself as bait to drag all the enemies here, so that Lisa's side can safely pass the final time limit and successfully complete your plan, right? ”
Shuer's face turned gloomy, but he finally nodded, "So what? Even if you can see what my final arrangement is, what's the use?"
"Eh, is it useless? Let me ask you a second question. Moria's smile suddenly disappeared, and she asked in a deep voice, "Did you think about it when you were delaying time, in fact, we are also delaying time?" You did successfully drag us here, but at the same time, it also means that you were also successfully dragged here by us, and you didn't have the opportunity to deal with or verify one thing, or ...... A deity?"
Shuer's pupils contracted suddenly, and for the first time today, he lost his calm expression.
"Goodbye, dear. The bowstring was released, and the arrow burst through the air, and lightning was already in front of Shur.
Shuer wanted to strengthen his energy defense and flick arrows like he had just done, but the surging energy that had supported him suddenly dissipated like a tide. No, to be exact, he had been absorbing the energy belonging to the magic circle around him to replenish his overdrawn part, so that he could hold on, but at this moment, the energy of the magic circle suddenly refused his absorption, and the throwing body was empty, and the energy defense could not be formed at all.
Shure wanted to swing the mace to block, but after getting used to the original exaggerated speed, and then trying to adapt to the body without the support of the magic circle energy, it would take a little time after all, although it was actually very short, but it was enough for the arrows that broke through the air.
"Poof", the block missed, and the arrow pierced deep into Shuer's right chest, reaching the end, and blood gushed out frantically along the shaft of the arrow, instantly adding a heavy stroke to the black robe.
At the same time, the sky, which had been getting brighter and brighter, suddenly darkened, and the powerful energy representing the dark moon also contracted and retreated rapidly, replaced by the cold glow of the silver moon.
Shur fell heavily to the ground, looked down at the bloody wound on his chest, and then looked up at the dark moon in the sky getting darker and darker, and for a while, there was no joy or anger on his face.
"He who calculates others will one day be counted by others. Moria slowly walked over to Shul and looked down at her lover, "This will never change. ”
Shur didn't speak, just looked at the sky quietly, the last control point was recaptured, the efforts of the gods took effect, the countless stars that were close to erupting returned to calm, the bright and dazzling void also returned to dimming, at the edge of the tipping point, the ritual was finally pulled back on track, the overflowing energy quickly faded, and the explosion that Shure expected could no longer occur.
"You won. Shure's voice was neither sad nor joyful.
"Yes, we won. "Moria, too, has no sorrow or joy.
But at this moment, the two exchanged a strange look for some reason, the same cunning, the same eccentricity, and then the next moment, without warning, a shining light illuminated every corner of the rift space, and powerful energy swept the entire world.
"Bang. ”
