Chapter 197: Perfect Pass
"Bang!" an axe slashed at the shield, and Roy took two steps back, turned, and at the last moment, let go of a long sword that swept behind him.
Before he could gain a foothold, an arrow flew across his cheek and nailed to the wall.
"Damn it!"
Roy was a little depressed.
These skeleton guard statues, I don't know what kind of metal they are made of, are not only extremely hard, but also very flexible, and what is even more terrifying is that the thirty-six statues seem to be commanded by the same brain, advancing and retreating to avoid attacks and cooperate, which is simply seamless.
In terms of combat power, they were a hundred times stronger than thirty-six true skeleton guards!
Relying on elven footwork, Roy was also able to move around the siege. Soon, he had reached the staircase to the right of the rotunda.
Roy had the idea to see if he could rush straight to the second floor and get rid of the statues. Even if it doesn't work, at least the narrow terrain of the staircase can contain the siege of the statue, so that you don't have to be attacked on your back. But soon, this illusion was shattered.
A magical light curtain shrouded the staircase and directly bounced Roy back. If it weren't for his quick reaction, he would have almost been chopped into pulp by the three statues.
"Do you want anyone to live?" Roy was besieged by the statue, left and right, embarrassed.
For a while, he could only hold the rulings in shield form, fending off the nearly unspaced attacks. Completely free to fight back.
"Is this kid a magician or a knight......" Ryuba asked with a strange look on his face where Roy couldn't see it.
"Who knows," Ryuchi shrugged his shoulders and muttered as he watched the battle intently, "But." As far as a rookie with eight battle rings is concerned, his strength is not bad. By the way, what is the name of a human being, it seems to be called the Knight of Glory, right?"
"It's called the Knight of Glory," Long Jiu on the side nodded, and said, "Although these demonic war puppets set up by Your Majesty on the first layer are the lowest in combat effectiveness. However, thirty-six were launched at the same time, not to mention the Glory Knight, even the Great Light Knight would be killed. ”
It looked at Roy curiously and said, "But this kid has held on for so long." ”
"I hope he can continue to persevere, so that we can watch the drama for a while," Long Badao said. "But what's the use of that? Do you really expect this rookie to save those people? I bet these humans are dead. This kid can't even go up to the second floor. ”
"Yes," Qigu continued, "Even if you go up to the second floor, can you still go up to the third floor, go up to the third floor, can you still go up to the fourth floor, it's the fourth floor." Can you still go up to the fifth floor......"
It chatters.
Bang! Roy resisted the bombardment of the three statues, and his body retreated. Slammed into the wall.
It's been five minutes.
In these five minutes, Roy faced the stormy attack of the skeleton statues, and could only defend passively, without the slightest ability to fight back.
And at this moment, he has been forced into a corner.
However, the pain in the back. But it didn't make Roy feel any trepidation, on the contrary, he exhaled, his face became relaxed, and the corners of his mouth even hooked up a smile.
These five minutes. Roy wasn't just beaten up and didn't get anything.
In fact, this time the harvest was huge!
You must know that these skeleton statues in front of you are actually one of the demonic war puppets. It's just that unlike the Titanic, which can fight freely, they rely on a fixed magic pattern array. For this reason, people call it the guardian puppet.
However, that doesn't mean that guardian puppets aren't as good as war puppets.
In fact, in places such as castles and magic towers, these defensive puppets are more useful than free-roaming war puppets. From the moment they were created, they were the most powerful addition to the Demonic Circle, and the most feared weapon.
After the decline of the magical civilization, the manufacturing process and magic pattern system of the guardian puppet were also lost. The guardian puppets that Roy had seen in the dwarf trap city when he was a child were as simple as the scarecrows in the field compared to the skeleton guards in front of him!
Therefore, when it comes to the attack of the skeleton statue, Roy is half nervous and half excited.
After seeing the sculptures of the nine bone dragons outside the gate and looking at the murals in the corridor, Roy was completely sure that this relic was the relic left by the Beast Emperor Noi Otanns.
And judging from the layout and furnishings of this rotunda in front of you, this should be the magic tower of this legendary giant necromancer!
Noi Otans lived more than 6,000 years ago. At that time, it was the time when the human magical civilization gradually flourished and developed rapidly. This means that these skeleton statues are the works of that period. It is a living fossil left over from the heyday of the magical civilization!
This realization made Roy as happy as a bear falling into a honey pool, and his eyes were full of stars when he looked at these skeleton statues. He even felt that it was an unforgivable crime for him to cut an axe on the skeleton that had attacked him!
This is the treasure that countless magicians have dreamed of!
If you let Austin, Gustas, and Williams find out, they might have demolished themselves first.
As a result, Roy almost immediately dismissed the idea of violent destruction.
In addition to being reluctant to destroy these treasures, he also knew that with the hardness of the statue, even if he could win, he would probably have to drain the source of strength and fighting energy.
And in this strange and dangerous place, this is simply looking for death.
The best way to do this is to find the weaknesses of these guardian puppets and crack them the way a magician does!
Roy was beaten for five minutes and observed for five minutes.
The more he watched, the more excited Roy became.
It has to be said that the design of these skeleton statues is extremely exquisite.
They are all forged from an unknown metal and are extremely defensive. Any skeleton can easily withstand the full force of a Great Bright Three-Star Knight.
Moreover, Neuotanns cleverly blended them into the rotunda. Thirty-six statues, using different weapons, cooperate near and far, protect each other, and are almost identical. Arguably. The killing array they formed was far two or three times higher than the sum of their combat power alone!
Looking at their walking routes, the coordination of their attacks, and the timing of each other's covers, Roy was simply fascinated. For the first time, he found out that the Guardian Puppet could still be used like this.
Such a system of cooperation. With a slight change, it is an excellent battle formation for knights to cooperate with in a small area.
What fascinated Roy even more was the magic patterns of these skeletons.
The magic pattern is not only present on the bodies of these skeleton guards, but also in this rotunda hall. It's like a machine. The hall is the main body, and these skeletons are the parts of this machine. On the surface, they seem to be unrelated, but in reality they are one and the same.
The magic patterns of the skeleton statue are hidden under the armpits, inside the bones, etc. Some of the magic patterns were also covered in armor.
The purpose of these patterns is to drive them to move and attack. And the most important and indispensable ones are generally considered to be the magic core. Elemental Gathering and other magic pattern systems are simply not found on their bodies.
If someone doesn't believe in evil and wants to use it as a breakthrough to destroy them, then the time wasted alone is enough for them to die not knowing how many times.
Their magic is supplied by the floors and walls of the hall.
The hidden invisible magic patterns are the foundation of this magic pattern array.
It's horrible.
To know. The reason why Roy was able to discover this was in addition to his extraordinary knowledge of magic patterns. The most important thing is that he has the Elemental Eye.
And if you come with another person, you won't have such good luck.
If it was a knight, then, in his eyes, it was a black metal sculpture. They have no other way but to attack their joints, hands and feet.
Not to mention that they couldn't find the key location of the magic pattern. Even with the magic pattern in front of them, they could not perceive the elements and had no magical power, but they could only stare dryly.
And if it's a magician, maybe he can also destroy the magic pattern.
However, simply trying to figure out the magic pattern system on a skeleton statue by perception is no different than asking a blind man to sort out a warehouse of tangled threads. Moreover. With their weak bodies and poor ability to fight in close quarters, it is simply impossible for them to have such a time and opportunity.
The process of observation is also the process of learning.
During this battle, Roy discovers several subtle patterns that not only corroborate the knowledge of magic patterns taught by Austin and Williams, but also solve many puzzles. He was fascinated to watch. If it weren't for the time crunch, he would have liked to keep watching!
Seven or eight skeleton sculptures pounced at the same time.
Roy sighed, and dodged their attacks with a reluctant dodge. In the next step, he had already appeared a few meters away like a light breeze.
Burst. Roy stabbed the wall with a sword. At the same time, with a flick of his left hand, a fireball shot out and hit the joints of several floor tiles not far from the staircase.
"Huh?" the surprised voices of the three bone dragons rang out.
Naturally, Roy couldn't hear it. He kept on his feet, dodging the attack of the skeleton statue as his figure moved along the walls of the rotunda at high speed. The long sword in his hand pierced into the wall from time to time, and at the same time, fireballs continued to bombard the ground.
At first, Roy's movements seemed inexplicable and useless.
If anyone else is around, I'm afraid they think he's crazy.
But as he walked, the skeletal statues in the hall began to slow down in frequency and speed. It seemed that every sword Roy stabbed into the wall, every fireball that slammed down on the floor, had a spider silk wrapped around them.
Each spider silk may only slow down a little. But as the spider silk grows more and more, the slowdown accumulates, and it is very obvious.
Later, the movements of the skeleton statues were almost like a group of old people, several times slower than before.
By this time, although the thirty-six skeleton statues were still persistently chasing Roy, they could not do him any harm.
"Pretty good fight, huh?"
After walking around the hall and returning to the same place, the corners of Roy's mouth hooked. In the attack just now, he had already used a long sword infused with magic power to disrupt the elemental operation of the key nodes of the magic pattern array, which directly led to the instability of the transmission of magic power. That's exactly why these skeleton statues are getting slower and slower.
And now, all he has to do is deliver the final blow.
His form flashed, and he had already cut into the gap between the two skeletal statues that pounced. Brush...... Two sword lights lit up on the skeleton statue's body.
Compared to the axe that Roy had chopped before, these two swords were really as light as child's play.
However, the statues in the two sword points stopped at the same time as if the switch had been turned off. Even the flame in his eyes was extinguished.
Roy's feet shifted, his body like the wind, and he walked among the skeleton statues. As his sword stabbed out again and again, the skeleton statues stopped.
After a few seconds, the flame in the eyes of the last skeleton statue went out. Almost at the same time, a huge crystal chandelier in the center of the hall lit up. A line of fire swam out from a wall lamp on the wall, and in a circle, all a dozen wall lamps were lit.
The whole hall was as bright as day.
In another place, the three bone dragons have already fried the pot.
"Perfect pass?" The look on Long Ba's face was as if someone had slammed him into his nose with a sledgehammer, and all of them were deformed, "This is impossible!"
Long Qi and Long Jiu also opened their mouths.
In the rotunda, the magic light curtain that originally shrouded the entrance of the corridor appeared blue, and then dissipated into starlight like a lit gauze curtain.
The door to the second floor opened.
Cleared?
Roy breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the entrance to the second staircase
