Chapter 149: The Wave
God said there would be light, and darkness came into being. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the rain, the clouds dissipate, the night sky is full of stars, a full moon hangs high, and the bright moonlight fills the night sky, sprinkling a hazy glow, shining on the earth, which is extremely charming.
But compared to the boundless darkness, this soft ray of moonlight seems to only play the role of highlighting and foiling, just as the shadow of the day only exists in every corner, and the night is ruled by darkness.
Augustus has the title of "the city that never sleeps", and the developed magic technology makes this magnificent royal city brightly lit even in the dark, as bright as day, not to mention that there are two great demons surrounded by flames in the central area in front of the humanoid torch that is bright and environmentally friendly.
However, the western side shrouded in darkness could not even shine in the slightest light, and the hazy black fog continued to spread outward under the cover of the night, churning endlessly, and it seemed that distorted faces full of extreme pain could be faintly seen. If Rogge's side was just an unexpected commotion, then the anomaly here had to be taken seriously by the big guys.
Groups of teams had gathered at the edge of the black mist, including mages and scholars from the Mage Tower, city guards, and urgently summoned adventure groups, but after a large number of squads entered the black mist, there was no news, and none of them escaped or sent any news.
The thick darkness is like a monster that chooses people to devour, devouring everyone who enters, and the black fog of the western district continues to spread, has crossed the boundary of the Baihua Bridge and is approaching the central district, and if it continues like this, it will soon affect the royal palace, and even the entire Augustus will not be spared.
But not everyone is helpless, as the royal city of the Holy Duchy, Augustus is full of elites, and there are many talents in various fields, including many legends, especially in the Royal Academy, many people are waiting, and some people are starting to investigate, the reason why there is not much action is just because the situation is still unclear.
It didn't take long for a team of all-senior professionals to enter the black fog in their best state of preparation. It's a squad of eight people, consisting of two Gold-level adventure team members and several elites from other organizations, led by an experienced and prestigious master tactician.
Since even with eyesight-enhancing spells such as the "Eyes of Innocence", the visual range of everyone in the black fog is still limited, so the team did not bring agile scouts, but focused on cautious defense and contingency to protect the scholars in the team who were responsible for investigating the anomaly.
In the darkness, two crusaders were at the front of the team with two-handed swords, while a middle-aged warrior was in the center to command the overall situation, and the two arcane scholars from the Mage Tower, who were heavily protected, used magic guides from time to time to release some auxiliary detection spells, sensing the flow of surrounding elements. Beside them were two valiant guards armed with swords and shields, and at the back of the line was a Wind Chaser, who ...... It's a spearman, a spearman, a spearman, a soldier, a soldier, a soldier......
Most of the team had been in Augustus for several years and were familiar with the West End, so this improvised and powerful squad gradually descended into the darkness.
"This black mist really has the power to affect people's minds!" As the team deepened, this power gradually increased, and this strength was naturally nothing to a group of high-level professionals, and even helped them find the source of the black fog faster, but when they thought of the residents in the western district, everyone couldn't help frowning.
Not only are they worried about the birth of these ordinary people, but more importantly, they have not met even a single fainting resident until now, and they have naturally tried to break into the houses, but except for the occasional traces of fighting, they still haven't seen half a figure.
This...... Very spooky.
It is impossible for so many people in the West District to disappear out of thin air, then these people must have gathered somewhere, and the center of the black fog is undoubtedly the most suspicious location.
Everyone walked and stopped, and the two arcane scholars tinkered with some strange magic tools from time to time, and under their guidance, the team soon approached the center of the black mist, because the power that constantly attacked their hearts became stronger and stronger.
"We've just passed the food street in the West End, and further on there is a big bazaar...... "The crusader who was walking at the front had not finished his sentence when he heard a teammate next to him shouting, "Look!
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a huge black shadow looming not far in front of them in the hazy black fog, if it was normal they could see, a huge pillar like an obelisk rose from the ground and stood in the center of what they called a trade bazaar, the black main body was covered with twisted spikes, and there were corpses strung on them, no, not so much corpses, but shriveled human skins, these skins were intact, but the mouths were propped up and deformed, as if something was struggling out of these people's skins, making people's hairs stand on end, and their scalps were numb。
The skinned faces of the men were contorted, as if they were wailing in pain, and in fact there were indeed bursts of whimpering and hissing from the black pillars. The team was too far away to see and hear, but as they tried to get closer to the great shadow, they heard another voice.
Like the roar of a beast, and the unbearable scream of metal scraping glass, the sound grew louder and more noisy, and at the same time closer and closer.
"Be careful! Prepare for battle!" shouted tactician Chelsea, a vindictive roar that lifted everyone's spirits, and the two arcane scholars reacted and began to bless the team with various buffs. Scholars who stay in the mage tower or academy all day long may have the problem of low personal combat power due to lack of actual combat experience, but their rich knowledge also allows them to know more spells, solid theory and in-depth research can make their spells more reasonable and efficient, as a team support, it is undoubtedly a very good candidate.
The mysterious light is like a shining starry sky, vast and deep, sprinkled on everyone, covering their body with an invisible shield, which is an improved energy-absorbing shield, which can absorb elemental attacks of a certain intensity, and then transform into a temporary physical shield, which is undoubtedly a very powerful supplement for the melee class.
Just as everyone in the team was preparing for battle, the sound of chaotic footsteps and disgusting squirming sounded wildly, and in the blink of an eye, the wide street was crowded with waves surging from all directions, with magical sounds and monsters.
