For Cheruth and others, this sudden collapse is undoubtedly a real unwarranted disaster, and the culprits who caused this collapse are also deep in the lower layers of the underground palace at this moment, and they were almost buried alive under the desert by this huge man-made disaster caused by themselves.

On the third floor of the underground ruins, in a relatively spacious corridor in the already messy underground palace, the knights under Shuai Ke sat on the ground fiercely, one by one as if they had exhausted their strength for a lifetime, except for leaning against the wall or lying on the ground panting, no one had the ability to get up and move again.

And Shuai Ke's own situation is not much better, as a master-level fighting spirit warrior, he doesn't even have the strength to stand up at the moment, which is the best evidence. At this moment, he was leaning on the side of the corridor, leaning against the huge stone behind him, trying to regain his strength like the knights under him.

Not long ago, they were engaged in a battle with the mysterious and strange young mercenary at the entrance to the second floor. In any case, they couldn't figure out how the mercenary with only the rudimentary fighting spirit was able to ignore all their attacks and deal damage to them every time, so Shuai Ke and the others finally used their knights' stunt to press the bottom of the box, the group magic technique.

As mentioned before, what is needed to activate the divine magic is not a certain energy that this world originally possesses, but relies on a special power generated by the living beings' belief in the gods to realize the power of the divine arts. However, due to the fall of the gods at the end of the Mythological Era, the power of faith without the object of worship has naturally lost the powerful effect of the Mythological Era, so the power of the magic cast has also been greatly reduced.

As a believer in the God of Light and the God of Fire, the Solan Cult naturally inherited most of the divine skills derived from the beliefs of these two gods at the same time. Whether it is from the perspective of a devout believer, or from the perspective of a big force that wants to have a place on the mainland, the Solan Divine Cult hopes to find a way to restore the original power of the divine arts in the current era of weakened faith, and the group divine arts, that is, the descendants of the divine magicians in the Solan Divine Cult have finally found a way to barely make up for the weakening of the power of faith after hundreds of years of hard work.

Without the god they believe in, the power of faith of a believer can no longer support those originally powerful divine arts, so it is good to concentrate the power of faith of a group of believers.

Of course, it's easy to say, but it's important to know that the power of faith is not the same as magic and psionic energy, which is an energy that doesn't exist in this world, in other words, it can't exist alone from a living individual. If you want to bring together the power of faith of two people, the prerequisite is to find the means to "intact" "extract" the power of faith from one person. In the end, the descendants of the magicians came up with the idea of using psionic or magical energy as a carrier to integrate the power of the faith of most people into it and transfer it to a certain person for him to activate the divine magic, which is the origin of the group divine magic.

In the process of performing the group's divine arts, it is first necessary to gather the carriers of the power of faith together so that the faith power of all people can be concentrated to support the divine arts. Compared to everyone starting to gather magic power at the same time to condense into magic crystals and then start to relay one after another, the aura that can be easily gathered together is undoubtedly more suitable for the release of the group's divine arts. Moreover, from the user's point of view, the Templars of the Cult who are extremely loyal to the gods and teachings and are organized and disciplined are far better suited to this type of collective attack than the Cult of Magicians who are rarely fixed to the Cult's organizations.

Of course, the shortcomings of the group magic are also obvious, and the way of multi-person collaboration naturally means that the process is cumbersome and the need for cooperation and tacit understanding. In other words, in the process of concentrating the power of faith, the Templars are often consuming their own spiritual energy at the same time, and the more faith power is supplied, the more spiritual energy consumed as a carrier, and the greater the physical energy consumption of the knights.

Although it is very troublesome and expensive to release, correspondingly, because it concentrates the power of faith of many people, not only can the number of people make up for the impact of the weakening of the power of faith, but even some high-level magic spells that are difficult to release by a single magician can be released in a short period of time. However, using these high-level magic skills often means that the knights will not have the strength to support the battle after that. After coming and going, the group magic became a default trick for the Knights of the Templars, a gambling-style last resort.

The magic "Substitute Judgment of Light and Fire" is a very powerful one-time attack magic created by believers in the twin gods of Solan...... In the face of the young mercenary in a desperate situation, Shuai Ke's last thought was to use such a group magic to gamble.

As a last resort for Shuai Ke and his boys, everything else is at least quite qualified in terms of power. The energy slash made of white light flames from the hand of Shuai Ke, the core of the group's divine arts, released a violent aftershock when it confronted the fist of the young mercenary wrapped in strange gray smoke, directly causing a small collapse of the three-story dungeon, which was already not so strong due to their previous battle and the pranks of the sand elements in the third layer, thus triggering a chain reaction of the collapse of the dungeon up and down.

What happened to the young mercenary after he went head-to-head with this move, neither Shuai Ke nor the knights knew about it, and they didn't have the energy to pay attention to it. Because the collapse came too suddenly, and the rest of the Knights who were in the center of the collapse at that time, except for the wounded, almost all of them were exhausted by this group magic technique, so just protecting themselves and protecting their companions exhausted all the strength of Shuai Ke and the Knights. And in terms of results, it's hard to say whether Shuai Ke and their group magic have won the bet.

They did get rid of the enemy, but not because the strange young mercenary died, but because several boulders fell from above in a violent collapse, blocking the middle of the battlefield between them and the young man, forcibly halting the battle.

But on the other hand, it was obviously a fool's dream for a team with dozens of wounded people who had been greatly injured by the group's magic to retreat in such a big collapse. When everything was quiet again, Shuai Ke immediately regrouped his spirit and regrouped the team to count the number of people, and the original team of nearly two hundred people was now only sixty or so people still safely staying with him in this dark corridor, including the wounded.

Leaning against the large rock that cut off the entire corridor, Shuai Ke wiped his face with his hand, forcing himself to believe that the brothers had simply fled somewhere else in the collapse, only to be separated by the falling boulders...... Now, at least for now, he had to persevere, both mentally and physically, and there were still sixty or so lads waiting for him to show them tomorrow's sunrise.

When he got out with these boys, he would definitely come back again, and even if one person hollowed out the ruins, he would find them, and he swore that he would bring them all back to the Holy City...... Whether it's the body, or the soul......

Belch...... Head...... It hurts......

Hazy, Cheruth slowly opened her eyes, and before she could see clearly, a burst of hot synaesthesia in her head made her instinctively close her eyes and moan slightly.

Wow...... It really hurts, like someone slapped it with something...... Say, it seems to be about the same...... I remember that I seemed to have fallen out of the safe ground, and when I wanted to fly back to join Sister Graywind, I bumped into something, and I didn't know anything after that...... Looks like I've fainted.

Cheruth closed her eyes, raised a hand and pressed her head to sort out the memories in her head, very strange, according to her memory, at that time she didn't know what she hit and fainted, and then she should have just fallen into the depths of the collapsed ruins, and it seemed that there were large rocks falling on her at that time...... But now she had neither fallen apart nor been squashed, and there seemed to be no pain or discomfort anywhere else in her body except for the burning pain in her head from the impact.

Oh~ Maybe I'm dead, so I won't-ah, my head hurts, it hurts......

“...... Looks like I'm awake. ”

Hearing some unfamiliar voices, Cheruth, who was still a little relaxed because of her unexpected vitality, suddenly became nervous, and she didn't care about the pain in her head, and sat up directly as if she had a spring.

The first thing that caught my eye was a dark green transparent barrier in front of her, and behind the barrier was a dark stone brick tunnel that led to no one else, and Cheruth blinked and turned her head to look behind her, which was the direction from which the voice came.

“...... Eh, are you...... Xingxi?"

A long black hair with clean and well-behaved Qi bangs does not show the slightest mess, the black gothic loli skirt on her body is not stained with dust at all, and her cute face is as cold as ever, Xingxi is standing there with her hands folded in front of her, if it weren't for the background behind her, not a huge stone slab blocked by a dark green enchantment, but a luxurious living room, no one would be surprised to say that she is a serious and polite lady who is receiving guests visiting her home.

Inside, they just experienced a ruinhole collapse? Although I don't know where this is, they did fall from the first floor, right? This one is nothing...... No, it's true that nothing seems to be a normal thing to come here, is it not normal for her to just fall from top to bottom in the collapsed ruins, and hit her head with such a big thing......

"Hmm...... I thought it would be a big deal just to hit my head," Xingxi tilted his head slightly looking at Cheruth's sluggish look, "But it seems that the collision was quite hard when you look like this?"

Isn't that nonsense, can you just knock it out and be ruthless...... Uh, wait, that seems to have a subtext?

“...... Hey, who said was stupid!"
