Chapter 42: The Illusion of Fire
Three days later, Jabbar couldn't help but leave the camp and take it deeper into the continent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking up from this oasis where you are, a tall and majestic active volcano seems to stand right in the middle of the continent in the distant mountains, but you don't know how long it will take to get there on foot, and how many dangers and obstacles you will have to go through in the middle. The orc uncle didn't know it, but he just prepared food and water, and embarked on a full journey to the top of the demons.
"Axalivan, what are we going to do now?"
While Abdul-Jabbar is alone on a difficult journey to hunt down demons, Esalivan and Gelman are still struggling with whether to continue their expedition in the underground palace under the dark cathedral, or to just turn back?
"Moving on, we now know the general history of ancient humans, and we also know about the emergence and extinction of werewolves. Since the ancient humans were finally wiped out in the struggle of demons, then I think this dungeon must also have recorded a lot of knowledge about demons. That's what we're looking for, or our previous efforts will be in vain. ”
Esalivan looked at the ghoul corpses all over the ground and replied calmly.
Gelman even wondered what kind of tribulations and challenges this human beauty had encountered while studying magic, so that he could not be afraid of such a terrifying and deep dungeon. Even a druid like Gelman, who had experienced thousands of years of wind and frost, would tremble when faced with such a terrifying dungeon scene, but this sorceress, who was only in her thirties, always had a calm face. At most, a few drops of sweat dripped while fighting.
"I admire your courage, Axalivan. ”
Gelman walked and continued.
"Thank you, but this courage is not innate. ”
The empty dungeon is now filled with endless underground passages and the sound of rushing water, in addition to the corpses of ghouls. Out of boredom, Esalivan also chatted with Gelman about her life experience.
"Really?
Gelman then asked.
"In fact, the mage profession is a very special profession. When studying all kinds of magic and studying all kinds of magic books, it is easy to see some illusions. Most of these visions are generated by arcane energy. What arcane energy is, I think you as a druid should be clear, it is the core that makes up the entire magical system. ”
"Illusions, like?"
Faced with Asalivan's gushing speech, Gelman asked curiously.
"For example, when I was studying a fire magic book called Ancient Witch Fire in the Mage Tower in the Emerald Glade, I once saw a demon in it, ten or twenty times larger than the real demon. ”
"Is this happening?"
Gelman was clearly skeptical of Essalivan's claims. However, the mage was incomprehensible to outsiders, so Gelman believed it for the time being.
"Yes, and the illusion is all around you, one second, there is a quiet library, bookshelves, wooden beams, and the next second, the surrounding area is like a mountain of flames, burning with raging flames. The demon is standing right in front of you, looking at you with terrifying and huge eyes, its body is so huge that you can see that around it, countless demons, goblins, hellhounds, cannibals are pouring from the other side of the world, rushing towards the human towns in the distance. It feels so real you can't experience it, Gelman. ”
Asalivan said, a drop of sweat oozing from her forehead. It's as if those illusions are more terrifying than the real world.
"What happened to the giant demon?"
Gelman asked, these things are also news to the druids, and Gelman used to have the same dreams when he was asleep, but the druids' dreams are very illusory, everything around them is green, which seems very unrealistic, but the druids can't escape this emerald dream, so, when hearing such a scene, Gelman is obviously very interested in Asalivan's words, maybe at some point, their illusions are common.
"Then the earth trembled and burned. Wherever the demon walked, the fire of hell was ablaze. The demon stared at me and said to me, 'The world of humans and orcs has come to an end, and if you continue to study your ridiculous magic and fight against the Burning Legion, there will be only one consequence - you and your companions will die, and your soul will wander in the endless dark void.' ’”
"That's what the demon said?"
After Esalivan finished speaking, Gelman was surprised. In my memory, I had the same dream, but what Esalivan saw was a fantasy, but what she saw was a dream. But the two demons seemed to be the same, because their words were the same, and their forms were the same, they were both unprecedentedly large, and their bodies were like a hill. The shadow cast could almost cover a human city.
"Yes, and he warns us that the demon army will soon arrive, and that it is useless to laugh at us for forming an alliance, and even more so at the infighting between orcs and humans. ”
"And later?"
Gelman asked eagerly.
"Then the dragon legion appeared. ”
"What?!"
Gelman cried out in surprise. The Dragon Legion has always been the patron saint of the elves, all the elven races on the planet Herrera, however, for the first time, it has truly appeared. And Druid's dream only did when the demons were screaming arrogantly, and did not foresee the appearance of the dragon army. Perhaps their patronus deliberately shunned them.
"Yes, after the dragon army appeared, it began to fight against the demon army. Countless demons flipped their wings and flew into the air to try to knock the demons down, however, dragons were not easy to mess with, their wings and tails were so huge that even with a flick of their tail, they could knock down a piece of demons. A thick flame spewed out of his mouth, and it instantly melted hundreds of demon guards. They are undoubtedly the hegemons of the air. ”
Asalivan said.
However, they ultimately failed. ”
"Why?"
Gelman asked nervously. I thought I was talking about life just now, but halfway through the conversation, I found that it had become a major event in historical destiny. With the terrifying scene of a little girl experiencing the destruction of the planet Anderrera in a fantasy world, it's no wonder that Essalivan has developed a gritty heart of steel.
"Because the demon finally broke the neck of the dragon king!"
Esalivan said, her eyes filled with resentment and a hint of fear. Gelman, on the other hand, was utterly stunned. The patron saint of the Night Elves, the patron saint of all the elves on the planet Anderella, the Ancient Dragon, will eventually be destroyed by demons, which means that the elves will completely lose their faith in the final battle......
