Chapter 200: Strange Golden Light
"Stand behind me. Beside a broken low wall, Rondelo roared, and his long sword was pulled horizontally, slashing a seventh-level demon that pounced on him into two pieces.
Aph and Racios stood behind his tall frame, casting spells.
Around them, dozens of mercenaries, centered on a half-collapsed tower, formed a defensive circle, fighting hundreds of demons.
The sound of swords and axes, gasps, roars, screams, and the screams of the abyssal demon "Roar Card" are intertwined, chaotic and tragic.
After releasing a few ice blades and cutting a sixth-level demon on the right side into several pieces, Afu felt that her body was a little weak, and her forehead and temples hurt like pins and needles.
The continuous battle has exhausted her physical strength, and her mental power is also facing exhaustion.
As for the magic - ten minutes ago, she could only fight with level 4 magic. If it weren't for the replenishment of a few spiritual power pills, she wouldn't even be able to release a water arrow now.
Afu looked around.
Not far away, several shriveled corpses lay down. And farther away, that strange demon with sharp mouthparts is sucking the blood of a dead mercenary.
This wave of fighting has been going on for more than a prayer hour. If it weren't for this broken tower, which is like a small hill and has staggered heights inside and outside, it would have been impossible to persist until now.
"Whew!" a terrible scream rang out.
Afu turned her head to look, only to see that under the siege of Olivia, Wood, and Lake, a ninth-level demon had had one of its arms cut off.
It retreated.
As it receded, hundreds of demons receded like a tidal wave.
In just a second or twenty, they had vanished into the dark woods and crumbling buildings, leaving only demon corpses and messy footprints that were turning into black mud all over the ground.
"Dangchang!"
There were exhausted mercenaries who could no longer hold on, and as soon as their hands were released, their weapons fell to the ground. The whole person also fell.
"Who's got the medicine on them. Lingli pill, healing medicine, a few stars will do. Quenching pills, fixing pills are also OK. β
"Come and help, help people up. β
"Be vigilant outside and take turns to rest. The mage hurried to meditate. Restore mana. β
In the midst of the noise, the mercenaries were in a mess. Either they help support their wounded comrades, or they clean up the battlefield and set up guards to prepare for the next battle.
Roundelo waded through the muddy water and walked over to Olivia and Wood.
"What now?" Wood propped up his claw-riddled shield on the ground, supporting his tired body, and looked at Rondello with a wry smile, "Continue to hold this place?"
"I'm fine. "Olivia was covered in mud. Strands of sweat-soaked hair hung down. Sticking to his ears, his lips were a little pale due to the overuse of mental power.
She looked at Rondelo, her eyes calm, but with a hint of despair, "This is the best place we can find." β
Rondello gritted his teeth and turned his head to look. What appeared in his eyes were tired faces that were unfamiliar.
The composition of the team is very complex right now.
The original combined mercenary team has been completely dispersed, more than a hundred people. Now there are only about forty left. In his own team, only Lake. Aph, Tusu, and Racios followed. And Olivia and Wood's team only had less than half of them left.
As for Jacob, YΓ‘rvis, Shazo and Sanchez, among others, they are nowhere to be found. Life and death are uncertain.
Some people from other mercenary groups joined the team on the way.
Most of these people Londello didn't know. It was only because of the common face of the demon's attack that everyone gathered together temporarily. The combat effectiveness of such a team can be imagined.
Rondello knows. With this team and this broken tower, it is impossible to hold out for long.
"Pack up, let's go. In the eyes of everyone, Rondello quickly made a decision.
He looked up at several sixth-level silver-winged winged demons flying high in the air.
Although the terrain of this broken tower is conducive to defense, the threat of these flying demons is great. Only a closed and confined space can truly curb the demon's numerical superiority.
And this place, which he had already observed, was an equally tall tower five hundred meters away. It's just that the one in front of me has collapsed, but the other one is still intact.
Rondello had long since discovered the quirkiness of this garden.
Not only are all the buildings here much taller than usual, but they are also extremely strong. With his own strength, he can't destroy an ordinary wall tile with a single blow with all his strength. It is precisely because of this that they can resist the attack of demons with the staggered inner and outer walls of the broken tower.
Roundelo was curious.
He couldn't imagine what kind of strong man had built this place. It is impossible to imagine what kind of disasters or battles broke out here in the first place, so that most of the buildings were reduced to ruins.
But he knew that if he couldn't destroy them, then neither could these demons.
As long as you can reach the complete tower, you can occupy the favorable terrain. When facing the attack of the demon again, you can save a lot of effort.
Londello told everyone about his plans and destination.
The mercenaries are all in action.
However, Olivia didn't move, she looked at Rondello a little tiredly, "Is there any point in leaving?"
She turned her head to look around, and after making sure that the other mercenaries were keeping enough distance from this side, she lowered her voice and said, "You know what's going on, we all know it!"
Both Rondello and Wood were silent.
Among those present, they were the only ones who knew the news of the closure of the abyss. And after coming to this garden, they found many anomalies.
First of all, those demons with low intelligence and a penchant for killing each other have launched an organized and planned attack on humanity like an army. Secondly, not only were all the sixth-level demons that disappeared outside concentrated here, but there were even high-level demons that should not appear in the third layer of the abyss.
And most importantly, the appearance of that damn ball demon.
The demons, who were originally bloodthirsty, actually waited for this kind of demon to collect blood instead of fighting for flesh and blood after killing humans.
This phenomenon that violates the instincts of demons makes people shudder.
Rather combine these anomalies with the context in which the abyss closes. Even an idiot can deduce a terrible fact.
The Devil's Trap!
The name sounds like a story from a bard, but only veteran horses who have been in the abyss for a long time know that this is a real tragedy that happened more than 10,000 years ago.
No one believes that this will happen to them. However, all the facts are told to them clearly. It's not a nightmare.
In this dilapidated garden, their more than 600 mercenaries have become the prey of demons. They will use the blood of these people to open a passage to the continent of Avalon.
After a long time, Rondello said heavily: "I know...... However, it is precisely because of this that we cannot give up. β
"Don't give up?" Olivia said, "What's the use of not giving up?" It won't be a level 10 demon either...... Do you think we still have any hope of getting out alive? Besides, we can't even find our way out!"
"We may not survive, but ......," Londello shook his head, "we can't at least watch them use our blood as an introduction to bring even more horrific slaughter to the whole world." β
Roundero's words stunned both Olivia and Wood. They didn't expect that this was what Rondello was thinking at the moment.
"What do you mean......" Olivia hesitated.
"I've already told Aph, the same. Your help too," Rondello looked into Olivia's eyes. "You don't have much magic left. Once there, you don't need to fight. β
"That tower," said Rondelo, turning his head to the spire of the tower in the distance, said slowly, "is our last position, and our mausoleum." If we die in battle......"
His voice. Cold and resolute.
"Well, just burn our bodies in the tower and vaporize our blood. Don't leave a drop for them!"
Olivia's heart pounded. She turned her head and looked at Afu.
The young female mage was looking into the distance. I don't know what I'm thinking. In the eyes, there is a silent world of ice and snow.
...............
The white light cocoon quietly lay across the floor of the hall on the second floor, and the soft and smooth shell rose and fell slightly with the breath of the figure inside the cocoon. I don't know how long it took, but a crisp cracking sound sounded. Cracks spread out one after another. The whole light cocoon collapsed one by one like a broken eggshell.
Fragments, turning into thousands of raindrops falling on Roy. Gradually, his body began to glow, brighter and brighter. Finally, with the fusion of the last drop of light rain, a white light suddenly erupted. It lasted about a minute before it faded away.
"Whew!"
Roy awoke from his slumber and sat up sharply, gasping for breath.
He had a terrible nightmare.
In the dream, all the people are dead. Rondelo, Aph, Racios...... The faces that I didn't know were pale and floating in a black void. More than 600 mercenaries, the corpses spread out in a large area.
And at the end of the void, there is a burning picture.
Countless demons flooded the city, and countless humans were killed. The towns were burning, the streets, the wilderness, there were corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed.
In addition to the Abyss Demons, there are also demons.
Wielding butcher knives and riding horses covered in bone armor, they killed everyone they saw. They stormed the palace and set it on fire. The traces of human civilization, heritage, and even survival have been completely erased with fallen sculptures, collapsed houses, burned books, and decomposing corpses.
After the Holocaust, the sun no longer rises.
The entire continent of Avalon has been transformed into a huge and dead black tomb.
After a violent gasp, everything that had been before the coma came back to mind. Roy looked around and realized that he had returned to the second floor of the magic tower at some point.
It seems that he was lucky to get through.
Roy let out a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the hellish magic array, he still has lingering palpitations, and he doesn't know how he survived in the end. However, what he could be sure of was that after this grinding, he had gained a great deal in terms of magic control skills and elemental construction knowledge.
Standing up, Roy subconsciously raised his hand.
Dozens of wind blades took shape in an instant, shooting out like enraged hornets and crashing into the wall.
An eerie golden light flashed.
Immediately, Roy heard a series of dense noises. Stone chips splashing. The incomparably hard stone wall was instantly cut out of a large hole with a diameter of fifty centimeters and a depth of eighty centimeters by these dozens of wind blades!
This scene startled the defenseless Roy. He stared blankly at the big hole, his mouth open, and his eyes were about to fall off.
"What's going on......" ...... I heard that someone said that I will cut jj if I update today. It must be satisfied...... (To be continued.) )
