The Gate of the Past - The Restless Undead (Two Chapters in One, One Today)
No one thought that the exploration of the upper levels of the temple would go so smoothly that there would be no incidents, any more than anyone would think that everyone would be able to enter the temple almost unhindered before entering this dead space. Not only the other demigods, but even Kyle himself didn't think that the exploration of the upper temple would go so smoothly, so before exploring, they were deliberately assigned to groups of three, so that in case they encountered hidden dangers or traps laid by enemies who did not know whether they existed, each group would have enough combat power to deal with them. Even if the undead are all strong, the demigods in a group of three are enough to deal with any crisis, and even if the attackers are all demigods, the trio has enough combat power to support their teammates to come to the rescue.
However, Kyle miscalculated this time, after everyone acted in groups, they explored each area separately, but until they explored all the areas, they did not encounter any danger, and even the battle did not take place, although those dead people had long since rotted into dry bones, but as Vral said before, there was no sign of turning into undead at all, just like real dead people.
"So, everyone's situation is the same?" Kyle said with his hands on his chest and a frown after the groups reunited, "Aside from Fira, your group found the stairway down, there are no other clues, including secret doors and traps, only a large number of dead bodies sitting in various rooms?"
"Yes. The noble Elven Queen said in a deep and magnetic voice, "Elder Finch and Karl have Mr. Aske, Phila and Lady Mina have me, Mayadia and Christo together, oh, and Dilly, Master Clark and you both are on the way, and all four groups have people who have enough ability to see through hidden mechanisms, but they haven't found anything suspicious, I think it should be considered that there are no hidden areas and items." ”
"Actually, it's normal to think about it. "Nelly's image is very intuitive, it will give people a sense of being capable and sassy, even if she is standing in a crowd in civilian clothes, it will make people feel a "ahh This is a knight", even her voice was full of rocky determination: "After all, this is the main temple of Danacus, the most important place of the Church of Death. It is also the daily residence of the high priests and fanatics of Danakus, which is considered their home. The same is true of secret doors, and only those who are in a state of perennial anxiety will arrange a large number of secret passages and secret doors in their own homes to hide their secrets and reserve a way out, and these priests and believers. Having given his life and soul to Danacus, the main temple is the last bastion of the most powerful church of the gods, and there is no need to arrange so many traps and secret passages, so I think this result is acceptable. ”
In fact, there are such churches. The Elven Queen's eyes flashed, she lowered her gaze and stared at the ground, and said slowly: "It is said that at the end of the Third Age, during the Divine War, the god Todd, who was in charge of conspiracy and lies, his Church of Lies was like this, and all the temples were full of deceptive traps and dark passages as complex as cobwebs, wanting to attack any of his temples. will pay a considerable price, and it may not be possible to capture it in the end. If it weren't for his betrayal of God, which caused the fall of most of the main gods of Todd's family, I'm afraid that Todd is still in control of the conspiracy and lies, and the City of Innocence would not be the current situation. ”
"Oh, I see. Nelly's gaze was as sharp as a sword when she stared at her enemy, but now she looked at Vral softly, and even her eyes hid comfort and apology: "Thank you, Your Majesty, this is the first time I've heard of such a secret." If it weren't for your reminder, I would have been blinded by my own experience and thoughts, and maybe I would have made mistakes in my actions in the future, but fortunately I have your explanation. Thank you so much. ”
"Don't be so polite. The smile on Vral's face was a little helpless, he sighed slightly, shook his head and said: "These secrets of the previous generation are probably only spread by some long-lived races, and you can understand if you don't know." ”
"Ahem. As if he hadn't found anything, Kyle coughed twice and said, "Since you haven't found anything hidden." Then there's no need to waste time, let's explore the next level together. The Temple of Danacus in the Dead World is also the only building in this Dead World, and I think the probability of hiding clues about the Divine Soul here is too high to be undetected. So, when exploring the lower level, please pay attention to everyone, if you find any details that I missed, please remind me as soon as possible, after all, a person's power is limited after all, and everyone can cooperate with each other to gather everyone's strength and make everything smooth, thank you. So, Fira, Your Majesty, and Lady Mina, please lead the way, and let us see what secrets are hidden under the Temple of Death. ”
Fila pulled down her hood and replied with her nose, and Ms. Mina, as a guardian, does not like to talk more in crowded situations, so she only talks a little more when she is with a few people she is more familiar with, but fortunately, there is also Vral, as an elf queen, even if she is young, even if her heart is pure, she will have a lot of experience in communication because of her identity, so her noble queen quickly suppressed the frustration caused by her own vague attack a few minutes ago but was resolved by the enemy with a strange and ambiguous attitude, and her face regained a graceful and gentle smile, and made an inviting gesture with the unique etiquette of the elves"Please come with us, masters, we will show you the way, the staircase leading to the lower floor is not too far from here, if it goes well, it is estimated that it will be reached in five minutes." ”
"What if it doesn't go well?" Kyle suddenly narrowed his eyes, changed his expression to a smile instead of a smile, and said calmly, "If it doesn't go well, I'm afraid it will take a long time." ”
"yes. Almost at the same time as Kyle, Vral's smile became strange, "If it doesn't go well, I'm afraid it will take a lot of five minutes." Oh, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it to be like this, Danakus's power of death is really weird, and even the life force has been deceived, I have to express my admiration for these believers. ”
The others, within seconds of Kyle and Vral, felt an uncomfortable aura almost simultaneously permeate the statue. The speed may feel slow, but it's actually filling the prayer room very quickly, and it's constantly expanding outward, with a tendency to expand throughout the temple. There is no need for two people to explain. Everyone also understands that this is the undead of these fanatics, after being transformed into the undead, using some special method to concentrate their death power and soul fire into the idol representing the will of Danacus, due to the characteristics of the idol. It was natural to cover up these unpleasant death energies, and it was also natural to deceive the detection of Voral's life force, so when Vral explored before, he did not find that there was a little death energy inside the dry bones of the corpses of these fanatics, and mistakenly thought that these were just ordinary corpses.
"Fire. Fila was the first to move, erecting her thin, more bone-like fingers, and spitting out a simple syllable. With his simplest chanting, a huge pillar of fire emerged out of thin air from the top of the temple, blasting directly at the idol from top to bottom with scorching heat and explosive energy. The impact of the pillar of fire sent out a violent explosion, enveloping the surroundings in heat and smoke. But after the explosion, the idol was not damaged in a heat high enough to melt steel and rock, not even a single stone chip fell off, and the majestic face of the idol was like the most direct irony of Fira's futile attack.
"Don't attack the idols. Kyle held the hilt of his sword behind his back and said in a calm voice, "While the undead haven't recovered yet, Fira, try to clear the field with a wide range of attacks, Maya." The Light World assists Fira's magic, Christo, energy bombs, and rain of bullet attacks. Your Majesty, the Arrow of Life shoots at the strongest enemy, and the rest of you will form a defensive formation with me to protect their four main attack positions and not let them be attacked in any way. Ms. Mina. I'm not familiar with your humanoid combat style, but it should be based on physical attacks as the main means, so try to defend with us, and if you have other combat methods, decide your own tactics, don't worry, I'll adjust it according to your own tactics. ”
"Thunder!" Fila pointed to the sky, and large arcs of electricity with a crackling electric shock sound appeared in a circle from outside the crowd, and these arcs of electricity writhed and crawled forward along the ground at high speed like living spiders, and even if nothing was shocked, the air was still filled with a scorching smell. Thousands of tiny arcs of electricity overwhelmingly pounced on the nearly thousand corpses sitting around the statue, some of these corpses had begun to move slightly, and some were still sitting still like ordinary corpses, but regardless of whether they had reacted or not, the dense arcs pounced on them mercilessly.
"Water. Phila withdrew her finger pointing to the sky and let out another low snort. Huge amounts of clear water poured down on the heads of the undead like rain. Although these waters do not have attack power, they enhance the power of lightning, originally each undead can only be evenly distributed to the attack from a few arcs, not to mention the undead, even an ordinary human legend level may not be able to hurt, but because of the water, all the arc attacks are directly connected together, and the lightning attack of each undead is the result of the addition of all the arcs, for a while, the entire prayer room was filled with the light of lightning, bright as the sun is looking directly at the sun. While these arcs did not cause substantial damage to the powerful undead, they significantly slowed their movements, filling them up a lot.
The dazzling electric light was shining, but it wasn't the brightest moment, there was even brighter. Maya suddenly flapped her wings and flew to the top of the prayer room, and between the flapping of her wings, a flood of light feathers appeared in the sky, along with the loud chant of the Lightwinged Man: "Great Lord of Light, your child is praying to you to send down the holy and majestic light of judgment, to sweep away all the darkness of the world, so that evil has nowhere to hide, and fill the world with light." ”
As the Mayan chant ended, the sky suddenly burst open, each feather of light was a small sun, filling the entire prayer room with the power of light. Pure light, no scorching temperature, just pure light, has a rather deadly devastating effect on the dark power of death, in this world of light, all enemies are surrounded by the holy light of judgment, from a dry bone, whether it has begun to rush towards people, or just beginning to move, or has not yet regained its vitality, from all the dry bones, there are clumps of black mist, as soon as the mist leaves the dry bones, it is purified by the ubiquitous light. Smoke dissipated into the air.
But it wasn't over yet, Maya's hands formed special magic spell seals and continued to chant loudly: "Praise you, O great Holy Spirit of light. Thy majesty brings light to the world, and thy glory cleanses away all the sins of the world, and I praise thee, O great Father, and I sing praises to thee. I open my will and heart to you, and I call upon your name with all my body and mind, you are the beginning of all things, you are the one and only of all, great Lord Weirensen, please accept my praise and show your all-pervasive power of light to the sinful world. ”
The Hymn of Light, and the Hymn of Darkness are listed as one of the two most powerful divine spells of the Winged Humans, and only the only existing Light and Dark Twins in each generation can use powerful divine spells, and they can be used in full force. Although it will take a long time, the coverage area can even reach a radius of ten kilometers, which is powerful enough to destroy all enemies under the demigods within range. Of course, the time on the scene did not allow Maya to use the true hymn of light, but even this simplified version of the ode to light should not be underestimated, even in the dazzling light, you can still see more feathers of light that are brighter than the world of divine light and burst into the sky again, hundreds of relatively weak dry bones fell silently in the judgment from the light, and the body full of the power of death was reduced to ashes under the power of light.
"Stupid Maya. Every time you unleash your magic, your hair will fall, and sooner or later, all the hairs on your wings will fall off, and they will look as ugly as plucked chicken wings. "Would say something like that to the Twins of Light and Darkness. There is only the diminutive goblin master Christo, the little goblin Christo's favorite crystal gun is not held in his hand, but floats in the air, so that the demigods are full of worry and fear The powerful energy has continued to be at the barrel, if this energy bursts, I am afraid that every demigod present will be seriously injured. Powerful energy. The entire body of the gun glowed orange red, which was a symbol of the high temperature, and it was because of this that Christo did not dare to touch it with his hands. After teasing his old enemy Maya, Christo turned to the approaching undead, and shouted wantonly in a shrill voice: "Damn the skeletons, if you dare to turn Maya into plucked chicken wings, then accept the wrath of guns and energy." ”
"Maya, come down. The rest of the demigods around the four of them had already started a hand-to-hand battle with the undead who had pressed over, and Kyle also drew his long sword, but instead of immediately entering the battle, he gave a timely order: "Kerry, it's up to you." ”
Maya circled in the air, her wings fell to the ground, and at the same time, Christo smiled and activated the activation circle of the crystal energy gun, and the energy mass that had been accumulated to the limit shot silently into the sky, like a sun hanging high, and in the laughter, Christo also shouted loudly in response: "Leave it to me, this is the anger of the goblins." ”
In fact, such a terrifying energy group, Christo himself did not dare to bombard it directly into the enemy's position, otherwise once the energy is out of control and explodes, the temple itself will not be damaged due to its special divinity, so all the energy will repeatedly collide inside the temple, and I am afraid that there will be only a few people left on his side who can still preserve their combat power. After the energy ball flew into the sky, it hung high, and countless energy bullets shot out of the parent body at high speed, really forming a rain of bullets, each of which would cause an explosion. Because the world is occupied by light, even the demigods can't see what is around them clearly, but in the battle, the demigods don't need to judge with their eyesight many times, Christo uses his perception to lock on to each enemy, and all the energy bullets seem to have eyes, bypassing the teammates who are entangled with the enemy, and accurately hitting every enemy who is engaged.
After releasing the rain of energy bullets, Christo was not idle, and soon scuffled with the angry Light-Winged Maya like a child, and soon, as the younger sister, Yaya also happily joined the battle, and the three began a happy daily fight under the siege of the enemy.
This kind of very inappropriate move did not attract the dissatisfaction of others, in fact, as the five main attackers, each of them released a large skill consumption, so big that if it is only the strength of the legendary level, it is enough to drain the energy and strength of the whole body by one skill. Although the characteristics of the demigods can allow them to replenish from the environment instantly, they only replenish energy, and physical strength cannot be replenished, so in order to continue fighting, each main attacker will rest for a short period of time after the end of the skill to recover physical strength and energy, as for the way of recovery, for the three people who are more childlike, fighting is the best way to reply.
And the most uncomfortable thing for the undead was not the attack of these three people, but the biggest threat came from Her Majesty, who did not say a word. The arrows of life of the Creator Elf Queen from the life god system, each one carries a strong life force, has absolute restraint against the undead who are full of death energy, and it is a single high-power attack, and each arrow has a powerful undead quietly falling.
The defensive formation looks solid and impregnable, and the enemy is gradually being worn away, but Kyle's face is becoming more and more serious, and he has been paying attention to the overall situation, and he is keenly aware that with the passage of the battle world, the number of enemies not only does not decrease, but has a tendency to increase, which means that the corpses in the rest of the room have also turned into undead and are pouring into the prayer room like a tide. And observing the surrounding enemies, it can be found that most of the undead who are consumed are relatively weak gold or legendary level strength undead, but the dozens of undead with demigod strength mixed with nearly a thousand undead are still intact, and with the influx of undead outside, the number is still increasing, if this continues, even if everyone is not afraid of the siege of a large number of demigod undead, but the physical strength of living beings is limited after all, and sooner or later they will be killed by the enemy's exhaustion of physical strength.
"It can't go on like this. Kyle made a decision, commanding in a loud voice: "Gather all of you, each with their own psychic realm energy, Fu ...... Nelly, you wrap everyone in your own realm, and Vral tells Nelly where to go down the ladder, and let's find a way to rush over. ”
The inherent spiritual realm of the demigod has strict exclusivity, if you don't turn off your own domain energy in the realm of another person, the domain of the two sides will automatically confront each other, seriously affecting the combat effectiveness, even if you don't expand the realm but just wrap yourself with the domain energy, so being carried by others with the realm means that you have to give up your own protection, for the demigod, this is almost putting life and death in the hands of others. Moreover, each person's realm has its own peculiarities, and unless it is a matter of life and death, no one would want other demigods to enter their realm to observe. It can be seen that this way of action is very disliked by both the bearer and the bearer, especially for the bearer, it will be more uncomfortable in his heart, so in the battle outside the temple, even if there are many enemies, Kyle did not propose such a tactic, but now, the situation makes him have to do it.
However, almost no one objected to Kyle's order, not even an uncomfortable feeling, if it was someone else who gave this order, the demigods probably wouldn't accept it, but Kyle is no one else, Kyle is Kyle, Kyle, who is always worthy of everyone's trust, Kyle, who will never let his friends down, his order, must be the best choice for everyone, no need to object, just act according to the instructions, Kyle will naturally lead everyone to victory.
However, it was just almost, and there were still people who expressed dissent, and the person who expressed the dissent was Vral, and Her Majesty said very dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about, as if my domain is so secret, I will carry everyone." ”
"Then trouble Your Majesty. Kyle smiled bitterly and touched his nose, and said embarrassedly under the smiling gaze of Nelly beside him, "Just ask Your Majesty to ......"
Before the words were finished, the power of the realm was unleashed, and everyone disappeared into place together, leaving only a large group of powerful undead who stared blankly at the empty prayer room, they who had only lived in the First Age could not understand the existence of the inherent spiritual realm at all, and did not understand what was going on. (To be continued.) )
