Chapter 3: Betrayal
The Owl's Imperial Array had been floating for an unknown amount of time, and now the entrance to the abyss was already a point of light. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Everyone in the mercenary group sighed, it was worthy of the abyss, it was really deep enough! Just when everyone was wondering when they would be able to reach the end, a huge suction force suddenly pulled down.
With a bang, the Imperial Array smashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust around it.
When everyone looked up again, they could no longer see the point of light at the entrance.
"What's going on?" Tatsuno Makoto looked at the illusionist.
"I don't know, this place is weirder than we thought!" said the illusionist put away his usual playful expression.
After counting the number of people, everyone lit their torches and began to explore cautiously.
It was pitch black, and the light of the torches couldn't reach far. Everyone walked silently and carefully, and there was a deathly silence around them, and there was no sound except for the sound of breathing and footsteps.
The fear brought by the darkness made the oppressive crowd breathe heavy. Lian kept holding Tatsuno Makoto's hand tightly, not daring to let go at all.
Tatsuno Makoto felt Lian's fear and gently patted Lian's hand to reassure her. He has the confidence to protect the girl next to him, and this confidence comes from his great strength.
The owl and the illusionist watched their surroundings warily. Ever since they landed, the two of them had felt that something was wrong here, like a fish in the mud.
Crunchy. There was a slight sound.
Everyone drew their weapons in unison, carefully moving in the direction from which the sound came.
As the light of the fire moved, everyone saw a thin figure squatting on the ground.
When everyone walked in a little more, a picture of nausea appeared in front of them.
A creature covered in dark red was crumbling on a half-severed arm.
The creature was hairless, with two pointed ears standing on top of its head. Stimulated by the firelight, the creature jerked back, a large head disproportionate to its body on its slender neck.
The two black eyes have no whites, a large mouth full of fangs, and two small holes between the mouth and the eyes, which must be the nose.
Seeing everyone, the creature rushed over with a shriek, waving the half-severed arm in his hand.
With a wave of Rayson's long sword, a silver fighting spirit appeared on the sword, and a heavy sword slashed at the monster's body.
Unexpectedly, this monster looked thin and weak, but its body was extremely hard. The sword went down, leaving only a small scar on the body.
The monster that was cut to the ground by a sword turned around and pounced on Makoto Tatsuno on the side, Makoto Tatsuno punched out, and shouted violently: "Shock!"
The monster screamed and fled into the darkness.
"Did you keep your hand?" asked the owl.
"I didn't use all my strength, but I didn't save my hand either. Makoto Tatsuno looked serious.
It is understandable that Rayson's sword did not kill the monster, after all, Rayson's level can be reached as long as he is a diligent martial artist.
But Makoto Tatsuno's punch is different, it is an ancient boxing method. The vindictive spirit is contained but not released, accumulating energy to destroy the opponent's internal organs from the inside. The only downside is that vindictiveness will never be able to be released.
It is simply unbelievable that the monster still has the strength to escape after receiving such a blow. This punch was enough to make a knight who was fully defensive say goodbye to the world.
"I suggest getting out of here immediately!" said Makoto Tatsuno, looking at the owl.
"Hmph, it doesn't seem to be as strong as the rumors!
"I can't kill that thing! It's even harder for you! It's for you!" Makoto Tatsuno said, a little upset.
Before Lakiel could reply, there was a sound of animals crawling.
"Ahh
The torch in his hand fell to the ground, and by the light of the fire, everyone saw a monster more than two meters tall and covered with black scales, and the two front paws pressed the screaming mercenary, and a mouth like an insect mouthpiece instantly penetrated the mercenary's chest!
After a few clicks, the mercenary was silent, except for the sound of the monster chewing.
"Imperial Array!"
The transparent shield enveloped the crowd.
"Hell Cannon Necrons!" the illusionist quickly chanted, and suddenly a terrible howl came from the silent darkness, and white wraiths gathered together and blasted towards the monster with a miserable white light.
Hiss!
The monster was immediately enveloped by the wraiths and let out a scream. After a while, the spirit disappeared, and the monster was bitten apart by the angry spirit.
The smell of blood filled the air.
With the glimmer of light from the illusionist's attack, everyone could see that the surroundings were almost densely packed with strange creatures. The corpses scattered on the ground told everyone where the disappeared adventurers had gone.
The people in the Imperial Array all stared at each other in horror.
"Prepare to fight!" with a loud roar from Rayson.
All kinds of magical light and fighting spirit shot out, and no one had the courage to rush out and fight those monsters face-to-face.
The surrounding monsters also rushed frantically towards the shield.
"Whoa!"
The Owl's Imperial Array could not withstand the attack and shattered into points of light.
"Be careful!" Makoto Tatsuno grabbed Lian, who was already scared, and blocked her behind him.
"Burst of flame!"
As the chanting ended, a wave of heat rushed to his face, a sea of fire ignited, and countless screams came from the sea of fire. Immediately afterwards, the flames seemed to ignite something, and there was a huge explosion, and the screams disappeared.
"What is this!" Makoto Tatsuno shouted anxiously.
This abyss is not a gateway to the underworld!
The mercenaries scattered and fled, while Rayson and a few others followed around Makoto Tatsuno. Now, if there's a safe place here, it's next to the three of them.
Endless monsters, like a tide, constantly hit the defensive circle of Makoto Tatsuno and the others.
"If you can't go on like this, you'll be scattered sooner or later!" The two short knives in the phantomist's hand flew up and down, and the monsters that rushed up around him were slashed with blood.
"Cyclone Slash - Flying in the Sky!" The air blade shot out, and the monster that rushed up was hit by the air blade, and its body instantly turned into pieces.
On the other side, Makoto Tatsuno always guarded the lotus behind him, and all the monsters touched by his fists and feet were silently paralyzed on the ground with seven orifices bleeding.
After the Imperial Array was shattered, the Owl has been drawing a magic array with intricate patterns on the ground. At this time, the magic array had been completed, "Shelter of the gods!" A pale golden pillar of light slowly rose, and everyone was wrapped in it.
The mercenaries who had just fled in all directions were silent, and the monsters were all concentrated towards this place, and not far away, with the light of the magic array made of owls, a huge figure could be vaguely seen, waving four arms and running wildly towards here.
Lei Sen and the others were extremely glad in their hearts for their choice, fortunately they followed these three people, otherwise they would have been gnawed into slag by the monsters around them.
At this time, Lakiel finally understood the gap with these three people, just the magic that the three of them used just now, not to mention that they had never seen it, they had never heard of it at all!
The martial arts of these three people are also not at all like ordinary warriors or knights, who slash and stab directly. These three people have a smart body and always hit the target from an incredible angle every time they make a shot.
Is this the legendary ancient martial arts and ancient magic!
"Prepare to use the scroll!, let's go buy time!" Makoto Tatsuno said, and the three of them rushed out of the pillar of light.
No matter how strong the defensive magic is, there is a limit to what it can endure. These monsters are obviously not species on the continent, and their strength and speed are far beyond that of ordinary warriors, and even if a powerful group like the protection of the gods is magical, they don't know how long they can last.
There is only one reel, and there is only one chance. So Makoto Tatsuno and the others decided to rush out of the pillar of light to buy time.
Seeing the three of them rushing out, the monsters once again frantically hit the pillar of light like waves, and the huge figure in the distance was getting closer and closer.
"The Light of Judgment!"
The three of them were chanting when they suddenly noticed a dazzling white light flashing behind them. The last thing Tatsuno Makoto saw was Lian's eyes full of fear before the spatial crack closed.
