Chapter 61: Great Ruin! The inevitability of fate (recommended pk, ask for follow-up!) )
More than twenty minutes ago, on the outskirts of Helia.
Led by Ryze, Lydros hid in front of the Iron Regiment in a warehouse where ordinary supplies were stored.
From time to time, Ruiz looked out of the window, with a solemn look on his face, and asked in a not-so-standard Kamavia, "Are you sure that the guy you're talking about is going to come and snatch things?" ”
Except for the muffled sound of an arcane explosion that was about to dissipate from the side of Scholar Avenue not long ago, there was no other sound on the edge of the empty city of Helia.
"Don't worry, he will."
Ledros had removed his shield and drew his sword.
With the help of the holy stone street lamp outside and the meager moonlight, Ruiz could barely make out the intense murderous intent in the eyes of the man with the scars on his face.
"That treacherous villain, damned bastard, looting and killing is a vileness engraved in the depths of his soul!" Ledroth's voice seemed to suppress a monstrous rage, "If he dares to do that to Carly, I will kill him!" ”
Belch...... Is this guy really reliable?
Ruiz shrank back to the wall with a complicated expression, not daring to speak again.
You know, he's had an unpleasant relationship with Callista before.
If this infatuated guy knows, I don't know what will happen.
A few minutes go by in a flash.
As Ledros had expected, outside the window there was a chaotic noise of horses' hooves trampling combined with bandit-like shouting.
The knights of the Iron Regiment are here!
Ruiz felt the rune tome and a pot of eaux-de-vie in his satchel, and the tension in his heart eased a little.
"Be careful, I don't know how many knights the golem has killed, but judging from the sound of horses' hooves outside, there seems to be a lot of people left.
"Even with the water of life and my help, we may ......"
Before Reze could finish his sentence, Ledros grinned, "Boy, have you heard of the Battle of the Rushing Plains a year ago, or the Kingdom of Santoras?" ”
Ruiz frowned, "When I was learning Kamavia, I read the records of the Kingdom of Santolas, and I remember that this country was once your ally. ”
"It is inevitable that countries will be divided and merged, and there will be conflicts of interest." "Hundreds of years ago, Santolas fought Camavia and took our relic, Lord Michael......"
Ledros's words came to an abrupt end, he exhaled heavily, thought for a moment and spoke again: "Foyego, the allies do not trust this once idle prince to become king, he needs a good victory to shake people's hearts. ”
"I don't understand the political issues between your countries."
I just think that if you put the contradictions of hundreds of years ago and deal with them now, you will naturally end up with a reputation for brutality and betrayal.
Ryze didn't dare to say this.
"I don't know much, I don't really care much about politics, and it's my lifelong wish to be able to follow Carly all the time."
Letrus leaned over to Ryze's side, staring out like eagle eyes.
"The reason why I mention to you the Battle of the Plains and the King of Santoras is because that brilliant statesman, strategist, and leader happened to die at my hands."
He paused, turned his face and looked down, looked at Reze, and grinned, "At that time, the Kamavia's army was completely defeated, and I alone fought into the enemy army and beheaded King Santoras...... Now, you should believe in my strength, right? ”
Cut, who knows if you're not bragging.
Ruiz secretly slandered.
The knight of the Iron Order was approaching, and he shook his head and said no more.
After a few more minutes, a Gundam figure, led by several soldiers, stopped in front of the warehouse where Ruiz and Ledros were hiding.
"General, we've found a warehouse!"
"This warehouse is different from the surrounding buildings, the pillars and patterns are carved in gold, there must be good things in it!"
"Yes, General, we'll let you know as soon as we find out!"
Hekarim laughed, "Okay, I'll find out later, you four have a lot of rewards!" Open the door and let me see what's hidden. ”
Because Fukumitsu Island didn't use ordinary chains and couldn't slash with swords, the two sturdy soldiers stepped forward and slammed into the open gate together with the countdown three times.
However, just as they were sprinting, the door in front of them suddenly opened, and the two of them could not restrain their inertia and rushed into the warehouse and fell to the ground.
A small giant-like figure burst out of the shadows and slammed the nearest soldier in the head, knocking him unconscious.
Then, Ledroth's figure kept moving forward, the blade of his sword sinking into the gap between the other soldier's plates, and then turned back to make up for it.
The whole process didn't take more than three seconds, and the two elites of the Iron Regiment who didn't expect the ambush were directly killed here.
Hecarim and the other two soldiers looked horrified, startled by the sudden rush out, but immediately prepared for battle.
But the figure inside the house had already rushed out of the gate and headed straight for Hekarim.
With a curved blade across his chest, Hecarim blocked the slash of the enemy that suddenly drilled in, but the force of the force couldn't help but make his arms tremble, and his lower limbs went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.
The moonlight sprinkled on the figure's face, and Hecarim recognized the person who attacked him, and couldn't help but tear his eyes, "Ledroth! How are you goddamn bitch here?! ”
"Hecarim! You're damned! ”
Ledros took his sword and kicked Hecarim in the chest, then continued to stab with his sword, completely ignoring the two soldiers around him who were slow to react and ready to attack.
It was only as they raised their spears, trying to pierce the little giant dressed as a royal guard and clearly hated Hekarim from behind, when a translucent blue barrier suddenly rose and cut their metal spears from the center.
"What is this?!"
Before they could be shocked, Ruiz, who had cast a rune confinement on the two of them in the warehouse, jumped out and quickly drew an overloaded arcane rune, shooting out two balls of arcane energy, and the surging magic explosion directly blew through the two soldiers.
At the same time, there was a loud noise in the direction of the Shining Tower, and Ruiz was startled, and immediately turned to look at the sky that had been turned upside down by the majestic energy as the mutilated body fell to the ground.
"It's ...... The power of the world's runes?! ”
Ruiz couldn't help but gasp, almost knowing that Josh had an accident on his side, and he couldn't even care about Letros and Hecarim, who were still fighting in front of him.
"Damn, if Josh hadn't defeated the king of Kamavia, he would have put his body into the fountain of life in the Well of Ten Thousand Years......"
Ruiz had already imagined that there would be another scene of countless white ghosts from the spiritual realm entering reality wreaking havoc on Helia.
Shouldn't I run away......
He glanced at Ledroth.
Because the battle with Hecarim was indistinguishable for a short time, the other Iron Regiments who heard the movement had already surrounded them.
"Ahh
Ruiz gritted his teeth, but gave up on his plans to escape.
He didn't know what he was thinking, maybe it was because the experience of the past six months had become mature.
In the past, when Ruiz encountered this situation, he had already left the people around him and fled for his life.
"I can't care so much, let's solve these people first!"
Ruiz quickly took out the rune tome from the cloth bag, took a large gulp of primordial matter, and quickly spread out the arcane energy guide book in his hand, and finally froze on the last page of the tome.
The arcane runes recorded on that page were the most taboo in rune magic, and they were not forced to use the "power of despair" - an ancient forbidden art that greatly increased oneself.
Pure purple arcane runes seemed to float out of the book, densely surrounding Ryze, and then melted into his skin and into the depths of his flesh.
Ruiz felt like he was being grilled from the inside out by a scorching heat, and there was not a single place in his body that didn't hurt, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"There are wizards! Deal with him! ”
The dark night suddenly lit up with unusual colors, which quickly attracted the attention of most of the Iron Regiment soldiers.
They raised their spears and swords, turned their horses, and galloped towards Rizridze.
"Die!"
But before they could get close to the ten meter range, Ruiz, who had already completed the reinforcement of the spell, let out a roar, and the surging arcane torrent spread from him.
As he engulfed the nearest soldier, the arcane orb that continued to spread back and forth formed a purple-white crackling lightning halo, engulfing all the soldiers around him.
Even Letros and Hecarim, who were already covered in many injuries, were stunned when they saw this scene, and they couldn't help but stop fighting.
"Get out of the way, Ledroth!"
Ledros dodged subconsciously, and Ruiz pressed one hand on the rune tome again, directing the mana to generate runes, firing explosive arcane lightning in their direction.
Horrified, Hecarim tried to dodge to the side, but not as fast as the fleeting arcane energy.
With a "poof", the upper half of Hecarim's body was suddenly detonated by magic, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
Ledros palpitated, and turned to Ruiz with a look of horror: "You ......"
"Get out of here! I don't have the strength to ......."
Letroth cautiously approached Ryze's side, and Ryze braced himself up, intensifying the arcane light, intimidating the Iron Knight who heard the sound again in the distance, but the court was a certain distance away, and hesitated.
The general is dead, and the other party is a very strong mage who can kill twenty or thirty warriors in an instant, and they don't want to die, so they leave one after another.
The magical light on Ruize's body gradually subsided, and his body went limp, but he was held by Ledros in time and immediately carried it on his shoulder.
"I'll take you back to the Tower of Light!"
Because of his huge size and no war horse to support him, Ledros had never learned to ride a horse on foot, so his footsteps were not slow.
In just over ten minutes, they ran back to Scholar Avenue.
It was only the sudden earthquake and various earth-shattering explosions that slowed Ledroth's pace, and finally stopped in a small alley that connected to the main road, leaving Ruiz behind the wall.
It was only then, far from the range of the Iron Regiment, that Ruiz had a chance to take a sip of the water of life.
"We can't go any further, it's too dangerous ahead!" Letros said, "Are you rune mages fighting like this? ”
"How is that possible...... This is the power of the world's runes. ”
Ruiz sat slumped by the wall, just poured in a cool spring of water, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the thought of Josh, who even the Darkspawn could subdue.
"That guy, he's a monster."
"What are the World Runes?"
"Uh, how can I explain it to you......"
Ruiz pondered for a moment, quickly explaining to Ledroth what he knew, and the devastating power they could cause.
And when he raised his face, he saw Ledros staring into the distance in amazement, and stretched out his hand blankly: "What you said, is that the one?" ”
Reze, who had recovered, immediately got up and looked in the direction of Ledroth's gaze, and was immediately startled.
It was a turquoise rolling storm that was sweeping at great speed from the direction of the Shining Tower, like a huge wave that was a kilometer high, swallowing everything along the way.
"What's going on here?!"
……
……
Moments ago.
Josh had no idea that Foyego would choose to open the leylines and channel the water of life beneath him.
The forbidden "power of despair" was activated in an instant, and the huge stone above his head fell, and it actually passed directly through Josh's body.
In the past six months, Josh has already become familiar with all the magic in the rune secret codex, so he handed it over to Ruiz to learn.
How could he not have mastered the magic that Ruiz had already learned?
In addition to enhancing itself, the forbidden spell named "Power of Despair" by one of Helia's previous rune mages also has the effect of "ghosting", allowing the body to penetrate through any matter.
Of course, as a forbidden art, this powerful runic magic naturally has its reasons for being banned.
If the mind is not firm, it is likely to fall into some kind of "despair" and gradually become crazy.
In addition to this, there is also a chance that this force will attract demons that eat away at the spiritual realm of emotions.
But Josh can't do that much now.
His form became illusory, and he flew towards Foyego with all his might, trying to lift him back with arcane energy.
It's just that Mu Qing still has some of the remaining energy to protect the falling Foyego, making Josh's magic useless.
Until the end, Josh even chased him underground, and it was too late.
With a "pop", Foyego and Isurde had fallen into the fountain of life, washed away by the rushing current.
[Oh no! Josh, get out of here! The restorative power of life and the destruction of death create an endless cycle of recreation, which can lead to extremely serious consequences! 】
"Of course I do! This is what I call the curse of ruin! ”
I've tried so hard that in the end I can't stop the outbreak of the Great Ruin......
Josh gritted his teeth and glanced one last time in the direction where Foyego had been swept away.
Immediately afterward, he performed the "Warp Realm Leap" with a thought, directly turning into a cloud of arcane particles that spread rapidly towards the surroundings and disappeared into the material world, and disappeared in place.
And at this moment, the water of life was polluted, and it was quickly fed back to its source, the Wanzai Well.
The fragments of the Life Source rune at the bottom of the pool trembled violently, blooming with a terrifying green light.
In the next second, the terrifying energy that was enough to annihilate any matter suddenly leaked out in an instant.
