Chapter 280: Deep in the Temple
After seeing Ryan use such a skillful magic technique to turn his attack invisible, those blurred figures in armor immediately swung their long swords and rushed towards Ryan, it was obvious that they had the idea of hand-to-hand combat, because most magicians were afraid of being close to enemies who were good at martial arts.
Even if Ryan was here alone, those guys on the other side wouldn't want to get close to him, not to mention that there were companions like Alendor here. After seeing the enemy rushing up, Alendor let out a long roar and pounced directly in a humanoid state, perhaps because of the fusion of Xiaobai's beast spirit, Alendor is no longer transformed but also has quite terrifying strength, and the speed has also become faster, and in a few steps Allendo met the blurred figure facing the front.
The other party naturally raised his long sword without hesitation and slashed down at Allendo, and Allendo didn't even bother to dodge, he directly punched forward, and when the opponent's long sword was still slashing down, it had already punched the enemy's chest, and the seemingly thick armor was actually dented by Allendo, and a big fist mark appeared.
After Allendo's powerful blow, the man's speed naturally stagnated, and then Ryan and they could clearly see that the armor on the chest of the guy who had been punched by Allendo began to appear tiny cracks, and then gradually cracked, and finally the cracks became bigger and bigger, covering the entire set of armor of the whole body.
All these changes have been a long time, but in fact, it is only a few moments, at this time, Allendo has just rushed sideways past the first enemy, only to hear a crisp sound of "whoosh!", the thick armor of the whole body actually exploded, and Ryan and they finally saw clearly what was wrapped in this blurred figure as the fragments were flying.
The dried corpse, the dried corpse of a male human, this is the "creature" wrapped in the thick armor. Faras screamed softly, maybe because the power of Allendo's punch was so great that it penetrated the armor of the whole body and smashed the dried corpses inside to pieces, this terrifying scene, too, inevitably made a girl like Faras feel a little uncomfortable.
"Damn, it's an undead creature!" Serres shot the feathered arrow in his hand without hesitation, and then he replaced it with the "Song of Soul Suppression", but Seres no longer needed this demigod weapon, because in this little time, Allendo had knocked all these guys who suddenly appeared to the ground.
"How can there be such a disgusting thing?" Sophie whispered while gently looking at the torn and dried corpses on the ground with a wooden stick, "And they should be dead, and they can still walk, even release magic and combat in close combat, is necromantic magic so terrible?"
"Curse!" Ryan slowly spat out these two words, he looked around, looked at his surroundings, and continued, "Maybe this is the result of that dark ritual of the demigod Lich Cons, the powerful magic that cursed the Templars of the Temple of the Apocalypse and made them look like this, much like the tomb of Alexandria that Alendor and I used to visit......"
"Yes, it's very similar, and although the King of Alexander doesn't look the same as the dried corpses, the smell is very similar. Elendor also spoke.
"Oops, that's a disgusting adjective, I guess I'm not going to eat lunch!" Faras pinched her nose and slowly stepped aside, hoping to avoid some kind of pungent smell of the dried corpse as much as possible, but it was a relatively confined environment, and she couldn't do it at all, so she had to endure it as much as she could.
"No, I mean that King Alexander, and the dried corpses here, should be the same system of magic. "We druids have been chasing the remnants of the undead for hundreds of years, and these 'creatures' that are completely contrary to nature naturally have a certain smell of evil. ”
"Damn, could it be that King Alexander's affairs were also done by demigod lichs?" Ryan scratched his head and muttered to himself, "He was probably a king hundreds of years ago, right? ”
"It should be Alexander-Andrew, right?" Faras suddenly smiled and spoke, "Alexander's Third Reich, which he ruled, was once the most powerful country on the continent at that time, but at the beginning, before his 12th birthday, his country was just a small principality. ”
Ryan said to Faras in amazement, "Ah, how do you know?"
Faras pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Ryan: "The rise and fall of these ancient empires have always been something that the rulers of later generations must understand, and I have naturally seen it, and it seems that I am not very stupid, so after reading it, I will remember it all." ”
"Hee-hee, my Fani is still amazing, then tell us the story of this king. Ryan quietly complimented Faraz, and Faraz nodded heartily and continued: "This Andrew monarch has established a huge empire after 50 years of southern expeditions and northern expeditions, and at the same time, the human countries in the north of the continent are in the midst of a war with the orcs, and the Silent Forest in the south has always been the traditional territory of the elves, and the other countries are not the opponents of this king at all, even if they are united. ”
"It seems that it will take another ten years for this king, or that the next king who will succeed him to the throne should be able to unify the continent, at least as anyone who sees this history will think. "But in his old age, a strange thing happened, as if overnight, all the people related to the king disappeared, and after the loss of the rightful heir of the vast empire, the king's generals began to divide, some of them became kings, and some of them led their men to other kingdoms...... A vast empire was wiped out overnight!"
Faras said with emotion: "You must know that in the later Hundred Years' War, most of the seven countries were self-reliant in the provinces of the former Alexander Third Empire, and if it wasn't for the sudden invasion of the undead legion, maybe it would continue to this day." Speaking of which, hehe, Ryan, you really have some special connection with this Alexander King, do you know that your current Cassano Plain was the fief of Prince Andrew at the beginning, and it was here that he commanded his personal guards, that is, the black-clad Guards who later terrified the enemy, began the first battle in his life. ”
Ryan let out a long sigh, could this really be a choice of fate? The same territory Cassano, the same woman Catherine, maybe the rest of Alexander-Andrew King still hopes to avenge him even if he is in the arms of the god of the underworld, after all, all the cause of the year was because of the sorceress Catherine from Mochizuki City.
"Now is not the time to be emotional, Ryan. Seeing the look on Ryan's face, Alendor immediately understood what he was thinking, and said to Ryan, "We need to rest the cursed Templars here, and as for who caused all this, perhaps as we go deeper, the mystery will be revealed." ”
"Well, I'm just feeling emotional. Ryan quickly adjusted his mood after listening to Elendo's words, and he pointed to the depths of the palace and said, "Go ahead, let's find out." ”
After a slight delay, Ryan and his party continued to go deeper into the cursed temple of the Apocalypse, although there were probably countless undead creatures hidden in front of them, but none of them offered to go back and call the Holy Knights of Bacon or the priests of Condra, after all, the best thing for the Holy Knights and the Priests of Light is to deal with these evil guys.
Sophie was still at the front of the group, but she didn't find any traps along the way, thinking that the environment here was only cursed to become what it is now, after all, under normal circumstances, many important places, such as sacrificial temples and other places, may be guarded by heavy soldiers in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking in, but most of them will not set all kinds of traps to kill people.
Along the way, I also encountered many Templars who had turned into dried corpses, and even after 200 years, these Templars still had the power of their lives, and their combat methods were also rare , use magic at a distance, use martial arts at close range, and even when Allondo is close to the onslaught, these Templars will also use some protective magic or similar to Ryan to launch a magic attack directly at the close enemy, but their speed is far inferior to Allendo, who is fused with the beast spirit, and is naturally knocked to the ground by Allendo one by one.
Before you know it, Ryan has slowly become the commander, and every time the team encounters an enemy, either Allendo quickly charges and defeats them, or Seres fires a volley of arrows, directly purifying them with the power of the "Song of the Soul", and the three women have basically become bystanders, with several capable male companions, and the whole adventure has so far been stress-free, they are happy to relax.
However, the deeper they traveled into the palace, the harder it was for Ryan and the others to feel the magic fluctuations, and Faras unleashed the "Illumination Spell" The frequency is getting faster and faster, obviously there should be a forbidden magic array in the depths of this palace, but after 200 years, the magic array here still has such a huge effect, if this is already the effect of the magic exhaustion after a long time, then the Temple of the Apocalypse back then is not a forbidden place for magicians, I'm afraid that even a top master such as the Great Magister is equivalent to an ordinary civilian who doesn't know martial arts here, right?
