Chapter 12: The Greedy Adventurer and the Mural
"I'll leave it to you!" Catherine remembers fire support!" Wood jumped on top of a zombie and leaped forward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The blood mist on his body was entangled with black flames, which looked a little terrifying, and the dagger he stabbed with all his strength made the air even colder.
The Zombie King motionlessly let the dagger stab into his body, and as the explosion sounded, its body broke several holes. But it doesn't matter, it will be fixed right away.
Wood looked a little shocked, and hurriedly changed his strategy and swung his claws directly, leaving a deep paw print on his rotten back.
Then he flew in the air, watching the burning scratches of the black flame fade away. The head hurts again.
Souls can't be found, and neither mana nor black flame is valid...... Then only the Divine Breath remains!
He used his flight advantage to dodge the rotten water attack in the air, then adjusted his body and shot black flames with his claws. At this time, the zombie king's vision was obscured by black flames.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the dexterous Wood came to the rear again. The rancid smell was going to stun him, but luckily he was a brave man, and he stabbed the dagger again!
Inside the hall, dark blue flames are raging at the zombie horde. And in the very center, their king begins to stop moving.
An increasingly intense glow is what they hate the most!
Wood resisted the nausea and slashed his dagger at the back that seemed to be leaking pus. Some rotten water flowed into his hands.
The back of his hand was corroding, emitting white smoke. Entering the demonic state, he felt a little ...... pain Pleasure?
What a pervert, but pleasure was followed by boundless rage, and he roared, leaving a long golden scar on his rotting back.
The zombie king opened his mouth and kept roaring, and his voice was very ugly, and ordinary adults would tremble when they heard it. But adventurers are only going to get more excited!
The quick-witted Catherine used the dark blue flames to clear the way for Wood, and the zombies in a straight line were consumed by the flames. Wood flew through the flames and returned to the crowd.
He first lifted the demonic state, and Elizabeth hurriedly stepped forward to fix the corroded wound. At this time, another group of adventurers had already rushed out.
The Golden Cross Sword was a nightmare in the eyes of the Zombie King, and as soon as it opened its mouth to shoot out the rotten water, a shield came to it.
Sisot was thrown out by Connie with magic, and the spare shield should be able to hold the rotten water...... It stinks!
Rebecca rushed to the back of the overflowing light, kicked her legs into the air, and still expressionless, she used all her strength to pierce the cross sword into the stigma!
The crosssword, much longer than the dagger, pierced through the rotting body, and its own light, combined with Elizabeth's blessing, made the demon Wood close his eyes.
Rebecca finally frowned, she was used to the smell of blood but she really hated the smell!
Boom!
The rotten water splashed into every corner of the hall as it exploded, and the little zombies began to explode on their own. For a moment, the adventurers felt like they were about to be deaf.
But the mind is still clear. Elizabeth hurriedly opened the sacred shield in front of her companion, and in the distance, Rebecca also grabbed the lightly injured Sisott and ran back.
The ground was shaking, and the explosions didn't know how long...... When Wood opened his eyes again, he saw a hall full of rotting water.
Unlike at the beginning, this time there was an extra door in the hall.
Behind was the entrance door, and Wood thought for a moment to leave a spare dagger with the Crown of Thorns carved into the blade.
Like Mutek, he wanted to tell the Latecomers that the Crown of Thorns had visited.
The group cautiously walked through the rotten water, and finally glanced back at the empty hall, and everyone entered the new room. At the same time, Wood notices that this is the fourth boss they have killed.
There's only one left, and I really don't want to provoke the phoenix. After he thought about this, the darkness ended, and he was presented in a completely different room than before.
The room was larger and more substantial than the hall just now. Every inch of land has treasure chests or mountains of gold, jewelry, ......
But it's useless!
The girls still have some nostalgia for gorgeous jewelry, and the monkey anxious man directly opened the treasure chest, disappointed to find that it was empty.
The adventurer climbed to the top of the golden mountain, and in disbelief he opened other treasure chests, and finally found a spar. They were so angry about it.
A group of robbers had snatched all their hedrons! Wood angrily opened the largest chest, revealing only a rusty iron sword.
The iron sword was picked up by him, and half of the sword was reduced to powder by the years, but the adventurers still saw the sign of the sword and the staff intertwined, and the skull in the middle.
Damn Mutek, he knew that the precious head of the spar was about to cry, and his dream was shattered.
Fay didn't know much about this group of angry or regretful adventurers, and she thought that the gold coins and jewelry were very good. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start scavenging.
Wood waved his hand weakly, motioning for his companions to share the spoils as they pleased. He lay on the golden mountain, staring blankly at the murals.
Gradually, his eyes became more and more focused, and his breathing became rapid. Newly fascinated by wealth, he discovered that the mural was the most worth exploring!
"Fiy!" he suddenly shouted.
The thief-hearted Fay shook his body for a moment, and immediately barely kept smiling and looked at Wood. "What's wrong?" she figured Wood wouldn't be so stingy.
"Are these two twelve-winged angels?" Wood pointed to one of the murals.
Fiy looked back in some confusion, and the next moment he opened his mouth full of disbelief. First the door to come in disappeared, and then ...... What's going on with this mural?
The scene in the painting is a battlefield with countless corpses on the ground. Humans, demons, angels, Beamon behemoths, extinct purebred elves and sea people...... She really couldn't count how many corpses there were, and how many races there were.
There are even many ethnic groups whose names she doesn't know. Looking up, she felt like her heart was going to jump out.
Two twelve-winged angels are fighting! I don't know why, but they are really fighting without reservation! They are both hurting each other's bodies with weapons!
Although I can't see the face clearly, I can tell from the body that it is a man and a woman. And...... Fay saw the emblem of the Celestial Council on their shoulders!
As an angel, her head briefly dies. Wood on the mountain didn't bother to care, he looked at the next painting.
It's a fairytale back garden, but it's a very scenical set of soldiers, with crazy expressions and a little fear. They pierced a woman's body with a spear!
The woman was dressed in a noble dress, she should not be dead, but she kept her head down and did not resist in the slightest. Wood looked at it for a long time, but he still felt the woman laughing.
Spooky paintings.
Then there's the last mural, which is very interesting.
He was sure that the river in the painting was the River Styx, and the flowers on the banks of the river unfurled, lighting the way for the boat to the netherworld.
Unlike usual, there was only one "corpse" on the ship at this time, and the cloth-clad boatman wearing a mask was "dead". The passenger who killed the boatman had already disembarked and stood in the endless sea of flowers on the other side, as if waiting for something.
Although only the back is visible, Wood is basically sure that this guy is human!
"Do you know what these paintings are talking about?" asked Klaus, with a sad face.
"I don't know. Wood replied with a smile. "It's either a fabrication or a shocking secret. ”
Klaus was silent for a moment, then continued: "Do you remember Mutek's death......?
Wood patted him on the shoulder and said calmly, "Take it easy." Let's go ahead of us. ”
Klaus understood what Wood meant, and he didn't believe that the ruins were that simple. Something must have happened here, a history or secret that was deliberately buried.
Wood licked his lips, the excitement in his heart returned, and he began to touch the wall with his hand to see if there was a secret door. The companions also got into action......
"Mr. Commander, over here!" Connie shouted as she suddenly raised her hand.
Wood hurried over and saw that there were three grooves at the bottom of the blank wall. Looking at the appearance, it should be the sword hilt, the sword body and the gem?
If you guessed correctly...... Wood took out the hilt of the Holy Sword, checked the size with his eyes, and then took a deep breath and slowly inserted it into the ......
After a second of silence, his eyes were blinded again, and a light even more dazzling than the golden mountain shot out from the wall.
He and Connie stepped back and sat on the floor with their eyes closed, and it was a long time before they dared to open their eyes.
After a brief blur, the pupil was greeted by a completely different wall, and several large strings of text appeared in the originally blank part.
They are different texts, none of which are of this era. Wood knew only one of them, the writing used by humanity before the Great Tribulation.
"Luckily, I'm a scholar. After feeling emotional, he began to translate this string of words.
O brave men of the new age, I am curious to know which painting you are more interested in. Remember that there is only one chance, and the greedy will be cursed. -- What do you think of as God?
Seeing the curse word, Wood can think of the Mutek siege team that was stoned to death by the forbidden curse, maybe it has something to do with greed?
"You have scavenged all the gold and jewels here, don't give face to the latecomers! He spoke to his companions, and then walked back and forth under the wall, touching his chin as if he were struggling with something.
He wanted to know the meaning of these three paintings. I'm afraid that Mutek had the same idea as him at the beginning, they were all greedy regimental leaders.
Suppose Mutek disperses his party into two or even three paintings, then the Heavenly Forbidden Spell that follows can be explained. Is it really a curse of God?
The looting didn't last long, and most adventurers weren't interested in these things. They sat on the ground to eat and replenish their strength, waiting for the next order from the regimental commander.
"Gone. Wood began to move, pointing forward. "Don't get separated, let's go into the same painting. ”
The partners actually wanted to ask why they weren't greedy, but based on Wood's prestige, they still didn't ask.
After so many things, even Sisott, Connie, and Jos, who had just joined the team, were obedient to Wood. Every move of this regimental leader is for all of them!
They stood in front of the transparent magic array that suddenly appeared, and more than a dozen hands were put together at the same time, shouting in unison, "Teleport!"
The putrid smell of corpses and the suffocating smell of blood, Wood had experienced it, and he knew this was the battlefield.
The boots stepped on blood, coagulated or not. A petite elf grabbed him by the leg and opened its mouth to ask for help.
But unfortunately, the next moment, an arrow flew in the distance, accurately piercing her head. Wood looked up and saw fellow elven archers. In the blink of an eye, the archer was beheaded by an angel without resistance.
It seems that it is not only humans who are killing each other...... He crouched down, closed the elven girl's eyes with his hand, and continued walking.
There is no clean place, except for blood and corpses, which vary in color. The adventurer climbed over the mountain-like corpse of the Beamon beast, pushed the dragon's tail away, and crossed the corrosive river of blood to finally reach the center of the battlefield.
Breathing a little uncomfortably, Wood patted Sissi's little head and looked at the sky in silence.
There should be no winners in this war, and they will not stop after heavy casualties. The last two angels to live began the final showdown.
The male angel was holding a pure white cross sword, with slightly curly silver hair and a handsome face, it was a pity that the girl did not smile, and she was a little colder.
If I put it in Kiel City, I'm afraid it will become my worst enemy. That's what Wood says.
The angel seemed to swing a sword slowly, but the white sword wave generated by the movement was extremely fast, leaving traces in the void, and instantly slashed to the golden long sword on the opposite side.
The golden pupils were full of anger, but the beautiful female angel could not arouse a trace of evil thoughts in men. It's so holy that only a demon like Wood dares to blaspheme.
"Christian, you traitor who doesn't keep your covenant!" her voice was still calm, but anyone could hear the anger.
"Audrey, you're stupid enough to want to rebel against defeat. I cannot allow you to bring destruction to the heavenly realm. "Christian's voice was calm and unwavering.
Audrey looked a little weak, she touched her sword tiredly, and did not speak for a long time.
"Looks like you know, no matter who survives today, it's all over. "Christian is still hitting with no relentless effort. "The elves and the sea tribe are just like us, and they are divided internally about that covenant. The rest of the stupid races...... Scold. ”
Audrey looked up, and the golden sword began to sing, very nice but with a sad aura.
"Being in the same room as those disgusting races, I can't help but feel like throwing up just thinking about it. Christian finally looked a little angry. "The demon sat across from me, do you know how I felt?"
"Obedient instinctive idiot. It's because of selfishness that we're defeated!, don't you understand it yet?" Audrey suddenly smiled beautifully, but in Christian's eyes, it was too sarcastic.
The cross sword stabbed out, and the golden longsword was effortlessly blocked. It was just an ordinary contact, but the void cracked open because of it.
As a spectator, Sisot couldn't help but wonder, can he block the aftermath of the attack?
Audrey took out a small golden round shield, flapped her wings, and instantly appeared behind Christian. First he blocked the sword blow with his shield, and then the unpretentious thrust of the long sword, and golden blood splattered out.
"Stupid and rude fellow, don't forget who your master is!" she reprimanded, then drew her sword and quickly retreated.
Christian pressed closer, swinging his cross sword without sparing. But Audrey blocked it very easily, and from time to time he swung a sword to bleed the enemy.
"It's because you're so stubborn and stupid that I'm so tired!" the roaring Audrey burst into tears, and the golden sword slashed off Christian's left arm. You can see the unbearable in your heart from your face.
Poof! At the same time, the pure white crosssword pierced her abdomen.
This is the scene on the mural.
"The genius boy of yesteryear really lives up to his reputation......" Audrey laughed again, "but it's just that his strength has grown!"
The shield smashed into the handsome face, sending Christian down like a cannonball. As the ground shook, the winner was decided.
Audrey picked up the crosssword that had fallen in a pool of blood, and turned her head after one last glance at Christian, whose fate was unknown......
Suddenly, her leg was caught, and the stubborn guy still didn't want her to go to other battlefields.
"You didn't ...... It's useless, those planes have won and lost......" Christian was about to run out of strength to speak.
"I know, but I'm still going. I trust my allies to keep the spark alive for the future. Audrey tried to take off, but she didn't expect the hand to be much stronger than she thought.
She looked at the shattered void and made an extremely difficult decision in silence. Tears rolled down her cheeks again, and the golden sword rested on a woman's delicate neck.
"Can I ask one last question? Master. Chris regained some strength and said with a smile.
Audrey replied with silence.
"So I asked...... Why did you trust that human woman so much and even take her to the heavenly realm...... No, she's not human, is she?"
Hearing this, Audrey laughed with tears in her eyes, and her laughter sounded a little sad. "You still want to be in my role as Angel until you die? Tell the fool who is talking to your soul that I'm going to kill him!"
The next moment, there was no laughter and no tears. She held the sword and moved slightly, and as blood spurted out, Christian was no longer alive.
That's all the adventurer sees. Wood and Fay were probably the two most shocked, both sitting on the ground holding their heads, digesting the huge amount of information.
In the rest of the picture they didn't see, Audrey suddenly looked to the side, first surprised and then figured it out......
It seems that the gentleman still kept the agreement. She couldn't help but ask, sir, is the future really better than the present?
She flapped her wings very strongly, and rushed towards the void......
The adventurer returned to his original room, and the atmosphere was eerily silent.
The reason why Fei held her head was that she still didn't believe that the picture was real. After the council declared defeated, those high-ranking and high-ranking angels went out to fight every day, was it a civil war?
She really can't figure out why she did this...... She is now at a loss.
Wood began to smoke, sip after puff, and he only hated that there was no alcohol now!
I have Angel's medal in my pocket, but it's a dark shadow and I can only see the outline...... Hopefully not an ugly girl, because I'm very interested in her right now!
With that in mind, Wood began to think about what he had to say about Angel...... Damn, there's just no intelligence!
If that creamy kid wasn't having a brain twitch, then Angel wasn't human! Damn! How could she not be human?
Wood felt like his head was about to explode, and he lay back...... Wait, whose knee pillow is this?
"Hello. With a smile in her ocean-blue eyes, Cisna greeted him in a friendly manner.
