Chapter 172, Escape from Death
Boom rumble~
The earth is trembling, the temple building is shaking wildly, and the remnants of the people who are still fighting in the hall are all unsteady, except for Aaron, who has a huge agility ability bonus and has a perverted sense of balance, including Eleanor, including Maximian, and the twenty or thirty orcs who are still fighting in the inner sanctum, all of them are smashed, piled up, and crashed into themselves.
Eleanor only had time to scream for Aaron's attention when she saw two orcs that had lost control collide with her, and Miss Priest picked up the Hand of the Moon and blasted the head of an orc, and the Divine Guard was thrown out.
But this could not stop the impact of the earthquake, the second orc pressed the body of the first orc, and crashed into Miss Priest together, Eleanor snorted, was knocked out of balance, she was pressed to the bottom, the two orcs and a half elf were pressed together like a stack of arhats, like a battering ram hit the stone wall, Eleanor only felt a dull pain in all her internal organs, a backlash in her throat, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
"Boom~"
"Ya...... Eleanor ...... saw that the second orc was looking at her with wide eyes, she did not hesitate to summon two rays of moonlight to smash the other's head, the orc's filthy blood splashed on Miss Priest's face, she tried to push the two orcs pressing on her body away, but found that she couldn't push it a little.
A normal adult orc generally weighs more than 250 pounds, and a heavily armed orc can weigh 300-400 pounds.
Damn, being pressed under the body of the orcs, don't do this kind of thing!
Miss Priest was so angry that she wanted to use magic spells, but she was tired from the fact that she had been infused with too much magic before.
She wanted to unleash a two-ring enhancement or a four-ring stone shaping technique for herself, but the weight on her body and the chaotic magical storm in the temple prevented her from concentrating on channeling her divine power.
If this continues...... Our lord's ritual is failing!
But this is not the end, an ogre could not control his body and flew from the side, also pressing on the corpses of the two orcs, Eleanor finally couldn't support it anymore and completely stopped eating.
"Aaron, quick!" Miss Pastor had to shout with the last of her strength.
Hearing Eleanor's voice, Aaron woke up a little from his endless desire to kill with blood, and he gave up on cutting off the remaining head of the single-headed ogre wizard and turned to look back at how the battlefield was going.
The second senior Disma was still fighting with a big goblin and several orcs in the chaos, and there were already two places on his body to hang colors, fortunately, the injury was not very serious, relying on his relatively high agility attributes, Disma barely stood firm, he subconsciously seized this opportunity to cut the throat of the heavily armored goblin, and his attention was not in the temple at all.
Maximian was seriously injured, his cousin had two spears stuck in his body, his head was even more injured by the gravel falling from the temple, and two bright red streaks fell from his head, and the warrior monk of the Sword Saint Sect heard Eleanor's cry, but he had already fallen to the ground at this time, and he relied on his hands to grab a pillar so that he was not completely slid to the side.
None of the three of them could help, and Aaron could only judge where the gem had fallen.
No way! It's too far!
Aaron flashed a trail of about 15 paces, only to find that the gem was still about fifty paces away from him, and the chaotic divine power and magical energy in the air made it impossible for him to continuously launch the trail steps, and the constant vibration of the soles of his feet caused the temple to begin to collapse!
Boom~ The rubble on the ceiling fell in pieces, and cracks have appeared on the surrounding load-bearing columns,
The air shone with the light of magical energy, the light of the sky had changed color, and the stone walls had turned yellow, gold, scarlet, and sapphire blue, and they had tangled in the air to form a huge moon shape, but one corner of the key triangular stable shape had collapsed, causing the entire inner sanctum to tilt towards one place, and the devastation caused by the earthquake had made the situation worse.
The magical energy in the middle of the inner sanctum is already so powerful that nothing that is left unprotected can be unharmed. He sensed that he was on the verge of spiraling out of control. Something that can smash everyone is already taking shape underneath!
Flashing through the rubble and collapsing walls, Aaron glanced at the Moon Gem in the heights, and the Lord Viscount secretly cursed the inexplicable earthquake, a ripple of great pain and fear spread in the air, and at the same moment, the divine power in the center of the circle trembled, almost collapsing.
And not far from where Miss Pastor fell, a stone pillar as thick as two people hugging each other was collapsing!
Aaron barely hesitated, he immediately pounced on Eleanor, knocked the stacked orc corpses on Miss Priest's body with his shoulder, and protected Eleanor with his body.
The collapsed load-bearing pillar smashed directly into Aaron's back, and this blow directly smashed him out of the state of the Secret Keeper, smashing his handsome face on the spot!
Normal people have long been turned into meat paste, but the physical fitness of adventurers in the kingdom is far beyond normal people, and after being smashed like this, Aaron was only injured and stunned.
"Leave me alone, Aaron!" Eleanor screamed, trying to push Aaron away from her body, "Finish the ceremony!" ”
Aaron's mind was blurred by a strong sense of dizziness, and he only had time to look back, the ceiling had collapsed, and the falling rocks weighing thousands of pounds were falling one after another, and the selfish nature of the orcs was now exposed, and they were all howling for their lives, looking for a possible exit, even the one-headed ogre wizard lying on the ground was ignored.
"It's too late." Aaron smiled bitterly, they fought against the water, it was a big gamble, it was so good before, but the sudden earthquake destroyed everything they had planned, this big gamble failed, and now it's time to pay the lost bet.
Aaron gasped for air, his lungs already filled with his own blood. His body was already overloaded, and he protected Eleanor, but he didn't have the strength to complete the ritual anymore.
"Oh, how boring, how boring, my own choice, you only now know that there is a limit to human power."
"Come, embrace my strength, embrace the rushing river of blood, this is your destiny!"
The voice of the terrible brother continued to tempt.
Aaron spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Children of Chaos looked at the collapsed temple, and for a moment, he was a little moved.
However, at this moment, his ears suddenly caught a voice, which was on the second floor of the temple.
"Cousin, don't panic! Cousin is here to help you! ”
From the corner of the second floor of the inner sanctum, two people suddenly rushed out, they were his cousin Clerk Robert and Varro, a scholar from abroad!
What? Why did my cousin end up here? And Varro?
Aaron watched in disbelief as Robert picked up the Moon Gem from the ground, and Varro gave him an acceleration spell, the mage dressed like a bard was so incredible that he stood there in the crumbling temple and cast spells, but all the falling rubble avoided his body and did not affect his movements.
"I'm also from the Salian family! Although I am a knight and I am a clerk, my lord said that everyone can become a hero, even if it is only a few ......" Robert was not so lucky, he grabbed the Moon Stone with both hands, and just halfway through his mouth, the oncoming falling rocks smashed into his face, his nose was smashed on the spot, his two front teeth were also cracked, and his mouth could only make a whining sound, a mouthful of blood.
"Ahh Robert was handsome for only a second, and he made a mistake on the spot.
"Levitation!" Varro was also hurrying to cast spells, and his magic kept Robert from falling.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Robert was speechless at this time, but in the eyes of Aaron and the others, his cousin made a standard diving move, and he threw himself out, as if hugging his newlywed lover, grabbed the fallen Moon Stone with both hands, and smashed the gem where it should be!
"Boom!"
With the return of the Moon Gem, the situation in the temple immediately changed, and the divine power transmission lines in the temple were lit up again, and the triangular stable structure was completed!
"Aaron ~ Eleanor, Maximian, you guys are doing a great job." Suren Mama's voice has appeared in the mortal world.
The silver moon pattern has finally taken shape.
Robert, whose face was covered in blood, smiled he, he gave Aaron a thumbs up, pointed to himself, and then a little thumb to Aaron, and said you can't do it upside down.
Then the cousin fainted, and Varro rushed to hold him up and retreat.
The silver moon pattern became brighter and brighter, and the divine power of the Silver Holy Mother rolled in, and the situation finally changed at the moment when the temple completely collapsed.
Su Lun's incarnation phantom had already flashed, and she looked at the chaos in the inner sanctum, her brows full of maternal love furrowed slightly, and she raised her hand to release a divine spell.
Divine Power - Silver Moon Impact!
The divine power Nova shockwave from the Silver Mother instantly killed all the orcs in the temple, Aaron watched as the flesh and blood peeled off the orc's body and directly disintegrated into dust, just a second seemed to be centuries passed, as the power of the shockwave ended, the sandy flesh and bones turned into dust, leaving only calcified white bones.
The temple stood still at the moment of collapse, and Suren's moonlight lifted all the falling stones, and the goddess illusion of the goddess made a gesture towards Aaron and the others, signaling them to hurry.
The statue of Suren in the inner sanctum on the pool suddenly rose some distance, revealing the secret door below.
"Let's go!"
Aaron and the others didn't stop at all, they immediately helped each other and quickly got into the secret door, until Disma dragged a wounded leg and disappeared into the secret door, and Suren's phantom nodded and put down his hand.
Two seconds later, the temple collapsed, burying all the orcs and ritual secrets beneath the rubble.
However, just below the temple, a holy emblem from Suren had lit up and began to radiate the surrounding area.
The ritual has been completed, and the orc gods will pay more divine power and a greater price if they want to show their power in the area near Arabel.
After the temple completely collapsed into ruins, in the distance, the legendary assassin Dreadblade, dressed in a black trench coat, looked solemn, and the double dagger in his hand was picked up, put down, picked up, and put down again.
Was the ritual sabotage successful? Did Aaron Salian and the others die inside?
Dreadblade doesn't know.
As a legendary Assassin, Dreadblade has faced countless situations in his long career, and he has a lot of experience in dealing with all kinds of accidents, so he won't be surprised by anything.
Aaron Salion's identity is special, and the plan of the Dreadblade is that it is best to kill him by the hands of the orcs, and it is also possible to kill him with the terrain of the miniature seismic technique, and it would be great if the destruction ritual can make the scene explode.
The more sophisticated the assassination, the more clues are actually left behind, and a coincidental accident can put the best detectives in a predicament.
But didn't the Dreadblade ever think about an unexpected unsuccessful situation?
No, he thought that if the accident didn't work out, he would kill Aaron himself.
It was all in his plan.
However, just as he was about to take action himself, Dreadblade suddenly felt anger from beyond the stars.
It's the anger of having the fun interrupted, the anger of having the plan unexpectedly aborted!
At that moment, the Blade of Fear sensed what real fear was.
He finally gave up because he was afraid, and he knew that if he did it himself, then the supreme being beyond the stars might personally kill him.
It's intuitive!
The instinct of a legendary assassin who has saved him many times!
The Fear Blade played with the dagger, his expression was serious, he vaguely felt the divine power from the Silver Holy Mother, and knew that it was not suitable to approach the ruins now, the legendary professional is very strong, but it is too big to face the gods.
However, if Aaron Salian is not dead, what about the commission of the Prince of the Dark Sun?
The Blade of Dread played with a hint of shadow divinity at his fingertips, he thought.
It's okay, he hasn't been exposed yet, there is still a lot of time, a lot of time, no matter which god it is, it is unlikely that he wants to interfere in the mortal world for a long time, unless it is the goddess of the magic web.
Thinking of this, the Dreadblade couldn't help but laugh, he originally thought that this was a "welfare commission", but he didn't expect it to be really difficult, no wonder Dark Sun was willing to give him a little divinity as a reward.
"Next time, it's your time to die."
…………
In the tunnels of the ruins of the temple.
The group was leaning against the wall, and each of them, with the exception of Varro, was wounded to a greater or lesser extent, the most seriously wounded of them was Disma, who was covered in blood, and one leg was pierced by an orc, followed by Maximian, whose cousin wore several spears and looked like a hedgehog.
The bridge of Robert's nose was smashed, two of his front teeth were broken, and although it looked miserable, it was not fatal.
Aaron and Eleanor were well equipped and protected by dragon skin armor, but they had only suffered some bruises and shed some blood.
The tunnels were damp and in disrepair, and they leaned against the walls, and Aaron and Eleanor used life magic and magic to stop their bleeding, respectively.
Aaron grinned, revealing his white teeth, and after the light of life magic enveloped Robert, he patted his cousin's arm: "I was wrong before, cousin, maybe you really have some use." ”
"Hey, hey, hey~" Robert hurt his tongue and lost two front teeth, he couldn't speak clearly, he just laughed, he patted his chest proudly, saying that I am your brother, of course I am covering you.
Then Robert pointed to Aaron's crotch, and then to his own, as if he were talking like someone who had no eggs.
"Thank you, Robert, Varro." Aaron motioned for him to get some rest, then turned to Varro and asked, "But how did you find here?" You've been with us all the way? ”
"Yes." Varro nodded: "With the help of Lady Misty, we followed you until the temple began to collapse, and Lady Misty suddenly asked Robert if he wanted to be a hero, or a seedless egg?" Even if it's just for a few minutes? ”
"Robert said he wanted to be a hero, and Lady Mystie told him to put the gem back in its place, and the kid rushed out, and I couldn't pull it."
"So Miss Missy...... Hey? What about Ms. Missy? Didn't she come in with us? Varro said this with a puzzled expression, and he held his head strangely: "But I saw her follow us in!" ”
Under the light of the light ball of the light technique, everyone's faces changed slightly, and the four members of Aaron's team looked at each other, all confirming that they didn't see another woman, they only saw Varro and Robert.
Aaron's brow furrowed.
Is Ms. Missy helping herself?
But she wanted to help herself, so why didn't she show up, but instead coaxed her cousin to take the risk? If she had joined in person, the tide would have turned in an instant.
Her style is as mysterious as her appearance, and she seems to have a penchant for secrecy.
Is it the enemy? Is it a friend?
Updated, ask for a ticket duck!
