Chapter 224: The Battle That Ended Before It Began

The people in the sacrificial magic array began to be eroded by energy, and the relatively weak people began to be assimilated by energy, they would not be as miserable as professionals, and they were infused with energy and exploded into blood mist, but it was also quite pitiful, and the exploding blood mist formed a shock wave, and those who were assimilated by energy would become energy particles, like star fragments, turning into powdery dust, and being imprisoned in the magic array.

The maelstrom in the sky spun even harder, and at the bottom of the maelstrom, an energy tornado formed, and slowly descended, about to connect with the invisible energy shield.

Anna anxiously said to Adès: "The sacrifice of the interdimensional plane is about to be formed, if the object is the Abyss Lord, we will definitely not be able to escape, retreat quickly." ”

Hunter listened to Anna's words, shook his head and said: "It's too late, if the sacrifice is not completed, we can still retreat, and now that the sacrifice has been successful, then this demon will be rewarded by the sacrifice object, even if we retreat now, we can't escape far, it can catch up at any time." ”

Ades frowned and asked, "Can you stop it?"

Hunter and Anna shook their heads at the same time, and Molly came up from behind and said, "Even if it's a high-level professional, you can't stop it at this time, and you see, there is a magic shield here, even if we want to pass the news outside, we can't pass it on." ”

Everyone looked at the place where Molly's finger was, the energy tornado was about to connect with the altar on the ground, and the energy shield in the middle was stimulated by the tornado to reveal it, everyone looked at this energy stance that shrouded most of the volcanic island, and their eyes showed a look of horror, it turned out that the demon had already prepared a qiē.

"Be careful! the demon seems to be wrong!!" Mia kept an eye on the demon. She fears that the demon will come and attack everyone, when she finds the demon's claws holding his head down. When the trembling god's body began to stabilize, it issued a warning to everyone.

Hunter and Anna withdrew their eyes from looking up at the tornado. At the same time, holding the shield in front of his body, guarding against the demon's actions, Ades drew an armor-piercing arrow, and the arrow shot through with a "whoosh".

The arrow flew to the demon's side, and the speed began to slow down until it stopped hovering in front of the demon, and Winnie was at the bottom of the steps, only half of her body was exposed, and when she saw this situation, she exclaimed and said, "This is the force field!"

That's right. It was the force field, and everyone had discovered that energy was pouring in from the magic array that covered the crowd, and some of it began to pour into the demon's body.

The demon's spiritual power, which had been eroded twice by divine power, began to soothe, his body began to be repaired, and the wound that was thrown by the spear thrown by the regiment commander began to stop bleeding.

Evis asked next to Yunny, "Now that you kill the demon, will the magic circle stop?"

Yunni said to her sister, "No, the demon is just a carrier, even if you kill it now." The energy will also automatically find the altar and infuse it with energy until the interdimensional sacrifice is complete. ”

"What about destroying the altar?" said Adès, looking back at Yunny.

"It's useless, the altar will be protected by a force field. At this time, you can't get close at all, unless you can block the infusion of energy, but such a large sacrifice. Once started, the infusion of energy will be very large. We can't cut off anything unless it's the gods themselves. Ward explained the situation to Adès at the end.

Ades smiled bitterly and said, "This fight won't work. I can't run, what should I do?"

Everyone shook their heads, helpless and helpless.

"Be careful!"

Hunter suddenly shouted, and then swung his shield in his left hand, knocking away the oncoming throwing spear.

Anna and Mia immediately became nervous, holding their shields on guard, and the demons not far in front of them could move.

Adès looked at the demon in front of him, and for a while he didn't know whether to retreat or advance, go up to the square, now the demon's body is protected by an energy force field, and he can't even shoot arrows into it, and it is not a good choice to go up and fight the demon.

Even if you really get to the ship, as long as the sacrifice is completed in a while, the demon will fly, and the speed of the boat in the water will be faster than that of the demon?

Hunter hesitated for a moment, and said to Ades behind him: "I'll go up and try, you guys be careful." With that, Hunter held a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right, stepped onto the platform of the square, and walked towards the demon.

Ades hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Hunter, don't go, be careful!"

This is Hunter has already stepped on the square, Ades didn't have time to stop it, so he walked up himself, Mia saw that his young master was on it, there was no reason to stand here still, and he also followed Ades's steps and walked towards the demon.

Anna also wanted to follow, who knew that Evis and Molly in the back grabbed her at the same time, and Evis said to her urgently: "Don't go, in case of a demon raid, we don't even have a melee here, we can't stop it, you are here on guard." ”

Molly was more direct, and when Eves finished speaking, she continued: "You are here, in case Ades and they are in danger, you can still take it, if you go up, which of us will answer?"

Anna glanced back, Molly was right, the remaining four people here, three of them are spell-casting professions, they can carry them themselves, but they can't go up, and if they do, there will be no one to protect them.

Hunt didn't go far before the demon began to attack, and it was pulled out of its body and thrown by the regimental commander with a spear, and threw one at Hunter, and one was held on its claws, and now I saw three people coming up, with a beak-like beak, and said, "I don't know if I live or die!" After saying that, his arm was raised, and the rest of the spear was shot.

Hunter and Mia didn't dare to use their shields to block, the spear was very fast, it was too late, the two had to dodge to the side, Adès's reaction was the fastest, he didn't dodge, he was afraid that dodging the spear would cause damage to the people behind, he picked up the small round shield, and quickly slapped the tip of the spear that came and knocked the spear away.

The demon was a little surprised, this human being's reaction speed is really fast, it can knock the spear away at such a close distance, it seems to be careful to deal with it, it stretched out its hand and took the armor-piercing arrow hovering in front of it in its hand. With a swing at Mia, he treated the armor-piercing arrow as if it were a spear. Shoot straight into Mia's body.

Mia didn't dare to block, she knew it was an armor-piercing arrow. The arrows are made of stainless steel soaked with pure gold, and their shields may not be able to block them, but if they do, the shield will be shot through, and they will be in danger.

She had no choice but to roll to the ground with her head down, and in a standard dodge stance, she dodged the arrows.

Hunter charged at the demon as he threw the arrow, and Ades was about to say be careful of the demon's force field. Hunter has rushed to the demon's body, the axe in his right hand is raised, and it is a smooth slash at it, which is an attack skill that every warrior must master, and Hunt's veteran hand is even more rapid to use, the demon sees that he can't frighten the enemy, and sees that the axe is about to slash at himself, so he has to take a few steps back and avoid Hunt's axe.

"The force field on its body can only protect against ranged weapons. It can't resist it when you get close!" Hunter shouted loudly, continuing to follow the demon's backward footsteps, trying to continue the attack.

As soon as Ades heard Hunter's shout, he stomped on his feet. He jumped forward, the recurve blade in his hand resting flat on his waist, ready to stab as soon as he got close to the demon. This is the fastest attack.

Mia rolled on the ground and came to the side of the sacrificial magic circle that had previously shrouded the knights. This magic array, which has been out of control, has been flickering, and everyone doesn't know what the magic array will become. So it's been ignored all along.

But when Mia finished rolling and half-squatted on the ground, preparing to pick up Hunter and Ades, she felt that the magic array around her seemed to be a little unstable, emitting bursts of energy fluctuations, and it was getting faster and faster.

She immediately shouted to Hunter and Adès: "Young Master, Uncle Hunter, withdraw it, there is something wrong with this magic array, we are in danger in the square!"

When Hunter and Ades heard this, they were shocked and wanted to stop, but the demon also heard Mia's shout, and instead of retreating, it stretched out its right arm and waved it at Hunter, Hunter didn't think about it, raised his shield to block its claws, and then the axe in his right hand also slashed at the demon at the same time.

Adès originally wanted to retreat, his feet stepped on the ground, and he was ready to retreat, but seeing that the demon did not retreat but advanced, and attacked Hunter, if he retreated at this time, Uncle Hunter would fall directly into a lone battle, and the demon was now infused with energy, and his strength had recovered by more than half, and Hunter would be very dangerous.

He didn't retreat, adjusted his center of gravity, and continued to pounce forward, stretching out the recurve blade, stabbing the demon in the chest.

Hunter's shield is just a large round shield made of stainless steel, as soon as it is touched by the demon's claws, he knows that he is in danger, the shield has no way to resist the demon's claw blade, and it is torn apart by the demon's claws, he can't care about attacking the demon, as soon as his left hand is released, he discards the shield, and rolls to the ground with the power of the demon's swing, dodging the demon's attack.

Ades saw that Hunter couldn't resist the demon while advancing, his heart was anxious, and his feet were even harder, and he rushed towards the demon quickly, and the demon ravaged Hunter's shield, and was about to pursue, wanting to destroy Hunt, but Ades had already arrived at this time, and the recurve blade stabbed the demon directly.

In an instant, the demon decided to exchange injuries for injuries, it has energy infusion, it is not afraid of injury, as long as it kills the human who is rolling on the ground, and then turns back to kill this person who wants to stab itself, so it thrust its arm down, and took advantage of the situation to the side of its body, dodging the vital point, and giving up the position of its shoulder.

It thought about the human who was going to stab itself in front of it, even if it was stabbed by him, it wouldn't be able to kill itself anyway, and with his weapon, this strange-shaped bayonet, even if it was injured, it wouldn't hurt much.

Unfortunately, it miscalculated, and Hunter prevented the demon's pursuit as he rolled, and as soon as he stopped, he immediately held the axe in both hands and blocked his head, trying to block the demon's lower arm.

As for Adès, seeing that the demon was chasing Hunter, he let go of his defense, and wanted to exchange his injuries for his life, he glanced at Hunter on the ground, and saw that the uncle had already made a defensive posture, and as soon as he gritted his teeth and sent it hard, he stabbed the recurve blade into the demon's left shoulder, and twisted the blade, shattering the bones in the demon's shoulder, and dragged it down hard, and the blade of the recurve blade tilted slightly to the right, and cut out from the demon's armpit, completely abolishing the demon's left arm.

The demon didn't feel pain, but it felt it, it plunged its right arm down, and wanted to use its claw blade to plunge into Hunter's head, but it didn't expect that Adez on the left would ruin its arm, it looked at the recurve blade in Adez's hand in surprise, and didn't understand why this strange-shaped weapon could hurt itself for a while.

Hunter here took advantage of the opportunity for it to be stunned. As soon as the half-crouched right leg exerted, the body lay down and fell backwards several feet. Then, with a push along his left arm, the whole person lay prone with his back to the demon. As soon as his knees and hands were forced, the whole person stood up, and he didn't look at the demon behind him, but there was Ades watching behind him, and with a force under his feet, he walked a few steps in a row, and got out of the demon's attack range.

Seeing the demon's fist-wide eyes glaring at the recurve blade in his hand, Ades didn't dare to attack anymore, and took a few steps backwards. Say loudly to Mia, "Retreat, retreat...... Retire to the steps. ”

Mia obediently held her shield on guard, and accompanied her young master to retreat next to Adès.

The demon came to his senses, turned his head to look at his arm, and then looked up at Adès, his right claw clenched, and was about to pursue Adès.

At this time, the magic array in the square stopped flickering, and suddenly burst out with dazzling light. The chaotic and riotous energy attracted everyone's attention, and Ades didn't care about anything, dragging Mia back, and Yunnie's scream came from behind: "Come back." The magic array is about to explode!!"

Mia was also frightened, and she turned around with the force that Ades had dragged her on, and three steps were two steps. With Adès quickly retreating to the bottom of the steps, Hunter had returned to the stone steps. Seeing that the two of them came back safely, he hurriedly said, "Retreat." Go down again!"

Everyone hurriedly ran down the steps, and after walking less than thirty steps, a violent explosion was heard in the square, and everyone unconsciously squatted down, and Anna flicked her mask down and looked up at the square.

I saw a violent dust splash, forming a dust ring in the air outside the square, and the square was blurry and chaotic, and nothing could be seen clearly.

After the explosion, in the silence, Mia whispered, "Could the demon have been killed?"

Yunni said weakly in the back: "I shouldn't be able to blow up ......"

Ades stood up and said to everyone, "Go back and see!"

Hunter raised his hand, stopped Ades and said, "A few of us go up, don't go up with the spellcasting profession and Evan, if you can't beat that demon, you can retreat directly." ”

Evis stopped doing it, and she said to Adès: "We are not afraid, we will die together!"

Adès looked back at the tall beauty and said, "It's not a matter of being afraid or not, it's that you can't fight hard, that demon is very powerful, we ......"

"Retreat there, not dead yet!" Winnie interrupted Adès, and said what everyone didn't want to say.

Everyone just saw the demon tearing Hunter's shield devastatingly, and they knew that this demon was powerful, and no one could resist the demon at all, the most important thing is that the demon has no pain, and its organs are different from humans, and there is no internal organ at all, unless the demon is chopped into several pieces or chopped into pulp, otherwise as long as the demon still has the ability to fight back, everyone can't stop its claw blade.

Everyone still wanted to argue, this was the energy tornado in the sky that finally tore open the protective shield, and a loud noise interrupted everyone's argument, due to the collision of energy in the sky, a huge lightning appeared, and the dust on the square seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and it was suddenly blown away without a trace.

Adès looked towards the square, and after the dust was blown away, the scene in the square was clearly revealed in front of everyone's eyes, and at this time, a completely illusory huge altar rose in the square, and the energy tornado probed down and connected with the altar.

"The interdimensional sacrifice has been successful...... "Winnie exclaimed.

"What about the demon?" Mia tried to find the demon's trace, but couldn't find it.

Ward muttered, "It doesn't matter anymore, the cross-dimensional sacrifice is successful, and the demon lord on the other side of the abyss can teleport all the high-level demons over at any time." ”

Ades frowned and said, "So what now?"

Hunter said expressionlessly: "No way, wait for death." ”

Evis gritted her teeth and said, "We haven't done it yet, and it's over?"

"It's over......" Anna whispered to Evis, clenching her one-handed sword.

"Actually, it can be interrupted, this sacrifice is not irreversible, but we don't have the ability to do so. Molly said with a sigh.

"Look!" Ward shouted, raising his hand and pointing to the Void Altar in the square.

The large sacrificial magic array that had covered the crowd was floating, slowly moving to the square, and slowly shrinking. The thousands of people above were all gone, and all that was left was a blood-red energy in the magic array. It's rotating along the lines of the magic array.

The Void Altar absorbed the energy of the magic array and began to slowly brighten. And the energy shield in mid-air was also revealed, and a dark silver streamer began to appear on the original invisible energy cover, this energy cover shrouded the entire port, including a part of the harbor, and all the people were under this energy cover, and the exclamations of the people in the port under the steps were faintly heard in the ears of Adus.

Adès turned to Molly and asked, "You just said that you can stop it, how do you stop it? We can't just sit back and wait, as long as there is still a chance, we have to try." ”

Molly said gloomily: "This situation. No one can stop it except the gods, who can close the interdimensional energy channel?"

Anna also asked, "Isn't it okay to break the altar?"

Hunter shook his head and said, "It's too late, we don't know where the altar is, the one in the square now is illusory, but it is made of energy, and this one cannot be broken." ”

Mia gritted her teeth and asked, "How can you interrupt when the gods come?"

Molly looked at Mia in surprise, thought for a moment and said, "The energy of the sacrificial magic array, that is, the flesh and blood of those who were sacrificed, was completely absorbed by the altar. It will fully activate the altar, which is actually a spatial coordinate, which connects to the coordinates of a certain layer of the abyss, as long as both coordinates are activated. The dimensional gate will appear, and then the person who sacrifices will receive the sacrifice. ”

Winnie continued, "Or, smash the altar." So that the spatial coordinates do not excite, either. It was forcibly closed when the dimensional gate appeared, cutting off the connection between the two spatial coordinates. ”

Adès shook his head. He muttered, "It's too difficult, it's impossible to achieve." ”

Everyone sighed, yes, who can forcibly close the dimensional gate? This is simply impossible.

Adès patted his forehead and said, "If we had come earlier, it would have been possible to find the altar, and it would not have been the worst of all, and I would not have let the demon sacrifice so many people casually, blame me, to take advantage of the Storm Lord Temple!"

Hunter patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's none of your business, no one expected the demon to be so generous, it's right that you want to take advantage of it." ”

Anna said a little gloomily: "I just don't know what will happen to Catherine in the future." ”

Hunter also sighed, yes, it doesn't matter if he dies, what about his wife and daughter?

Ward clenched his staff tightly, he had just met a female magician at the Academy, and everyone was just starting to develop, and suddenly things were so bad.

Mia glanced at Adès, and remembered the scene when she was in the lumber yard, the young master and Sister Evis came to find her and let herself go on a mission, and in the forest, she moved forward timidly, it was the young master who took care of herself, and her adoptive father, who didn't have to go to the muddy lumber yard to work in the second half of his life, ran a caravan, and could find a mother-in-law at any time.

Evis and Yunni treat themselves as if they were their own sisters, chatting and playing with them, and learning to fight with them.

There are also Uncle Hunter and Uncle Cardinal, who are nothing more than lumberjacks themselves, and they trained themselves to be warriors so that they can be by the young master's side.

Sister Anna and Sister Molly are both big nobles, who regard themselves as companions, and even give their territory to themselves to manage, but they have never discriminated against themselves.

I am a half-beast person, after the last injury, I secretly heard the conversation between the young master and Sister Evis, and knew that my lifespan would not be too long, at most thirty years old, and now I am almost eighteen years old, and my life is more than halfway, so what is there not to be satisfied with.

and the magic leather armor on his body, the young master only has half a set, but he is a full set of heavy armor, and when the young master sleeps with himself, it is like holding a rag doll, I really miss it.

Mia smiled as she remembered what she had been through with Adès, and took a step down the steps towards the square...... (To be continued......)
