Chapter 80: A Long Secret
Chapter 80: A Long Secret
The calm ground began to stir violently.
Grumpy footsteps slammed the air.
Killing intent came from behind him - Grossar turned his head to peek.
A swarm of monsters suddenly appeared behind him.
It seems to be coming from the cave to the east from the direction you came?
Both in number and momentum, it is comparable to a large-scale commando team.
"How can there be so many monsters!?"
Grossar drew his ordinary greatsword and turned around. I saw the majestic monsters like an army roaring like crazy, trampling the ground in anger, and rushing towards Grossar, the only one still standing.
It's better to lose your mind and rush forward.
Not only the skeletons I had seen before, but even the demonized wolves, ghost-faced tigers, white bone spiders, skeleton butterflies, and many other kinds of monsters—began to indiscriminately attack the mages who were lying around and powerless to resist?
I had only seen these magisters summoning and controlling monsters before, why did they suddenly attack these magisters now?
Didn't the monsters follow the orders of these magisters out of intention?
…… But the number of monsters seen now is even more terrifying.
It's as if you were concentrated in a large number of spaces from the original, and finally escaped and took the opportunity to destroy the surroundings.
But it's too late to care about that much now!
The Magus, who had been badly wounded by the battle, had no strength left to resist, and the screams became more and more terrible.
This scene made Grossar quite distressed.
Although he was a rude person who tried to offend the Kingdom of Aynk, how could he die innocently because of the monster's rampage.
"Fortress of Victory!"
- Powerful anti-magic activation!
"Drink —————!"
With a roar of rage, he clenched the giant sword in both hands and plunged it into the ground, instantly pouring a massive amount of light elements into the ground.
The warm light element erupted violently from the blade of the sword, quickly constructing a huge wall on the smooth pavement that was large enough to block the entire cavern passage, and the dazzling light instantly robbed all the monsters of their vision.
The monster swarm suddenly stopped going crazy.
The walls were built.
Waiting for the monsters to regain their vision, there is already a towering glittering city wall in front of them.
Couldn't get any closer than half a step.
The walls are so large that there is not the slightest gap that can be drilled into.
The walls are so thick that even if all the monsters attack at the same time, it will be difficult to break through.
However, to maintain such a large amount of light element, the physical wear and tear of the mind is very considerable.
This attrition soon manifested itself in Grossal's reaction.
- was panting and breaking out in a cold sweat, with a hideous expression that was quite painful.
Despite this, Grossar still recklessly sacrificed all his strength to resist the infestation of the monsters.
Just to protect the people who were enemies in the last second.
The magisters on the side looked at each other.
It would have been foolish for Grossar to leave the crowd and run away on his own, leaving them to fend for themselves.
The stupidity is a little touching.
Isn't he forcing everyone to do something now?
"Meteor shower!" "Extraterrestrial meteorites!" "Fire Rain!" "Thunder!"
After the spells of several magisters were activated, several flashes of elemental magic appeared on Grossar's head.
Do you want to take the opportunity to attack yourself?
Not.
"Attack! A swarm of monsters outside the walls! ”
"Yes!"
It seemed to be a commanding tone commanding most of the Magus.
- The target of everyone is the monster outside the light wall.
Hardened to endure the pain and weak legs all over his body, with the help of "life-saving grace", he worked hard to squeeze out the only remaining elements in his body and assisted Grossar in attacking the monsters outside the city walls.
The effects of the pain make the attack weak, but the damage from the sand tower is slowly beginning to disintegrate one monster after another.
The effect of throwing bricks and stones smoothly burns the morale of other magisters.
Several weak figures slowly stood up.
"I'm here to help, too!"
"Please hold on! I'll take charge of the monster on the left. ”
"Hurry up! Supports the destruction of monsters on the right side. ”
"The support team is applying enhanced magic in the back! In addition, find someone to be responsible for applying 'power onslaught' on this big brother. ”
"Look at the dots! There are also a few flying monsters in the sky that plan to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. ”
The high morale made everyone forget the pain.
The perfect division of labor shows the tacit understanding of this group of people.
The image was an eye-opener for Grossar's surprise.
Although it is a thief who maliciously offends the kingdom of Einke, he is unexpectedly affectionate and organized.
The excellent division of labor and cooperation and tacit understanding show the long-term support of these people.
If it weren't for the heinous mistakes made by these people, he would have wanted to recruit these people to serve the Kingdom of Aynke.
But now is not the time to think about that!
Thanks to the help of these people, it is clear that the oppression of the city walls has been greatly reduced.
The sudden explosion of such a large amount of elements in a short period of time not only caused damage to the physical body, but also affected the spirit.
I was still a little delirious, but now it's okay.
At most, I'll be gasping for breath.
Hold on for a few more minutes and you'll be able to get rid of all the monsters - and then go deep into the cave to find the Emperor's footprints.
The truth is not as expected.
Behind the crowd came the sound of impatient footsteps and cries of terror—
"Team...... Captain! The rock wall behind has been broken by a large group of monsters, and it is rushing towards our rear! ”
This information instantly shattered everyone's hopes.
This was followed by thunderous footsteps.
Approaching quickly.
"Oops! The defending team hurriedly set a delay trap in the rear! ”
"Compliance...... Yes, sir! ”
The strength of a few people is not as strong as Grossar, who can create such a majestic city wall in an instant.
Even casting the trap was a bit reluctant.
With the defense team as the main defender, several figures stand in rows, and a total of two rows of teams form a human wall.
Facing the rear that was coming.
The front row is the defensive unit, and the back row is the attacking unit.
- The figure of the monster finally appeared.
The number far exceeded the first wave of monsters, and the offensive rushed towards everyone like thunder.
But the people were not surprised at all.
Thanks to Grossar's strong will, everyone had nothing to fear.
The captain of the defense team was mentally calculating the distance between himself and the monster horde.
The best subduing distance is about 100 meters.
First control the monster's movement with large-scale suppression, and then take the opportunity to destroy the monster with powerful cannon fire.
The thunderous footsteps have become more and more noisy.
Eyes twinkle - here's your chance!
"Start!"
"Ground Rift Canyon!"
The captain's command caused everyone to cast their magic in unison.
The calm ground shook violently in an instant, and the cracked ground was like a mouth with a wide mouth.
The monsters fell into the cracked ground.
The effect of subduing has been achieved.
Then came annihilation.
"Swap! Attack team and defense team change positions! ”
"Yes!"
Everyone skillfully switched positions in the front and back rows.
With only two seconds or so, the conversion job was completed quickly.
"Chase!"
"Thunder!" "Narakunuma!" "Wind Blade!" "Bone erosion!"
All kinds of elemental magic attack the hordes of monsters trapped in the ground crack.
The results are outstanding.
But it's not over yet.
There are also a number of flying monsters on their heads - they are not affected by the "Ground Rift Canyon".
"Support the troops! Take out the 'Illusion Jade'! ”
"Yes!"
Several people pulled out a jewel-like dark golden amber.
It is a high-level magic item that can be used to perform "spiritual magic".
"High-level charm!"
Everyone pointed the amber in their hands at the flying monster on their heads, and the amber flashed with a dazzling light the moment it was activated.
The glow does not cause vertigo on the outside of the subject.
The flying monsters that are the objects are different-several figures can't withstand the spiritual erosion of the "high-level charm" and fall from the air, and the rest of the ones that are strong in the air also stop moving, as if they are flying in place in pain.
"Attack troops!"
"Yes!"
It's also a powerful elemental magic that violently attacks the group of flying monsters that have lost the ability to escape.
However, the duration of the Illusion Jade is only ten minutes.
It would be fine if this batch of monsters was successfully cleared.
I'm afraid there are other monsters that are rampant.
What's more - this is just one of the roads in the whole cave.
"Huh!"
Grossar called for the nearest magister.
The sudden accosting made the magister around him a little frightened.
After all, this person is a strong man who single-handedly takes on hundreds of Magisters, and although they are currently fighting together, he is still a little timid in his heart.
"How...... How? ”
"Have you ever seen a white-haired man?"
"White-haired man...... Yes! ”
"Did he go deeper into the cave?"
"Right...... But in addition to the white-haired man, there were two other intruders. ”
"The other two!?"
"Yes, the strength of those two people is also very terrifying, comparable to the white-haired man you said."
Sure enough, there were other intruders...... But who is it?
Do humans who can be equal to His Majesty really exist?
At the same time, Wu and Discent are ready to take place.
The two looked at each other, keeping a distance of ten paces.
Itri stood beside Naia, fifty meters from the arena.
This is the safe distance that Naia emphasized.
Only Itri didn't feel the need to stand far at all, and it wasn't a terrible duel, just a fight.
However, the atmosphere between the two is indeed very solemn.
The iceberg-like freezing and heaviness can be felt even from a distance of 100 meters.
Looking at Wu's side face from afar, it is the arrogance of ignoring everything as nothing, relying on the bland coldness to cover up the arrogance of arrogance.
Looking at Disent's expression again, there was absolute confidence in his serious and calm expression.
Both men seem to have the confidence to easily grasp the outcome, but they are still serious about the fight.
The two of them exude an extraordinary atmosphere, which makes this "exchange" very high-quality.
What kind of competition is this going to be?
Before the competition began, Diescent did a simple warm-up.
Don't forget to remind the turnip.
"If you feel sick or dying, be sure to shout to stop."
"Rest assured—that's what I want to say to you."
"Hahahahaha! Quite interesting! ”
Discent didn't see it as a threat at all, but instead showed respect for himself as an enemy.
He very much regarded himself as a respectable opponent.
Even though he has never met, he still sees himself as a respectable opponent he hasn't seen for a long time.
From his fighting mentality, it can be dissected that this person is a very powerful magister or the chosen one.
The whistle for this battle was blown by Naia on the sidelines.
"Both sides are ready, right?"
"Yes."
The two responded in unison to Naia's confirmation.
"In that case—"
—Naia raised her right hand.
The scene instantly froze.
Itri swallowed.
The raised right hand slid through the air –
A sound pierced the silence of "Start!" "Blow this exchange.
Discent made a move first.
Raise your hands and hold them flat outward, as if trying to turn on some kind of power on the left and right.
The ensuing picture was an eye-opener.
I saw that Disent's palms flashed with a dazzling light - a "summoning circle" with a diameter of about six meters appeared out of thin air on the left and right.
On the right hand side is a crimson magic array, representing the summoning array of "Dragon Fire".
On the left hand side is a gray-white magic array, representing the summoning array of the "Holy Wind".
Discente's eyes suddenly became fierce.
"Double Dragon Grab the Pearl!"
- The magic is officially activated.
The two circles rotated rapidly, and as the speed of the rotation continued to increase, there seemed to be a force emerging in the center of the circle.
Looks like he's about to be summoned from the center of the magic circle.
Wu squatted in a low posture to show a defensive posture, and carefully guarded the embankment.
I feel wary from the bottom of my heart.
Whether it was the unknown aura emanating from the circle or some kind of power that was about to be summoned, it made me feel intimidated.
After staring for a few seconds, Discent reminded Wu to break his guard.
"Don't be in a daze! It's up to you to resist it! ”
Suddenly disent, he clasped his palms together—the finishing gesture for the circle's successful summoning.
The crisp sound of clapping resounded in the sky.
Two summoning circles erupted into hurricane-like air currents.
The apocalyptic aura was coming towards the three of them.
A torrent of hot air boiled over the icy inside the underground cavern, and the freezing cold wind could even scratch through any hard stone.
Even Itri who was in the distance could not stand firmly, and his shocked eyes looked at the two summoning circles with awe, guessing in his heart that the uncle who had the ability to exert such terrifying power must contain inhuman power in his body.
There must be a lot of history.
Obviously, Wu is definitely not an opponent.
No wonder this uncle kept confirming to Wu before the battle.
In his own opinion, Wu's initiative to challenge Disent's behavior is simply a grasshopper shaking the tree.
Curiosity is greater than fear.
What a terrible power it is!
Strangely, Wu accidentally learns what kind of magic Disenter is using. It's as familiar as if you've seen it before.
"I guess you're not done yet! The two magic arrays belong to the 'transcendent magic' of dimensional summoning, and this type of magic has the property of 'delay', so you must be planning to use the air flow before the summoning to scare me? ”
This deference shocked Eatri and Diescent.
"You know 'Beyond Magic'?"
“…… Kindness. ”
That's right?
Why do you know?
Transcendental magic is a type of supermatter magic that is classified as summoning powerful magic.
Although the power of the Super Illusion Rank falls below the Demon Level, it is also beyond the common sense and limits that humans should have.
All the knowledge and sources of magic were learned after gluttony empowered him.
However, it was thought that this kind of magical knowledge was limited to "all of his subordinates".
Could it be that there are subordinates around you who can perform "transcendent magic"?
This unreasonable insight began to make Disente a little impressed with Wu.
I no longer worry about Wu's life.
"I didn't expect you to be more hidden than I thought."
"Over...... Overpraise. ”
"In that case—that means I can get a little more serious, right?"
"Please be."
"Understood!"
At this time, the aura suddenly began to transform.
The rapidly plummeting yet rapidly rising temperature indicates that the summoning circle is gradually ushering in the final steps.
- Summoning.
The center of the two summoning circles slowly revealed behemoths.
It's a species that would be new even in the wizarding world.
- The Dragon.
They are two faucets with very different appearances and colors.
The look of astonishment showed how frightened Itri, who was born a mortal, and what she saw in front of her.
Is that...... Dragon!?
Such a reaction is not unexpected.
Even if you are a mage or warrior who is experienced in combat, you will never have the opportunity to see the dragon itself with your own eyes in your life, and at most you will imagine the dragon form by writing myths and stories.
What's more, it was an uncle who summoned two fierce and powerful real dragons out of thin air.
The dragon head that emerged from the crimson magic array was covered with bright red scales, and there were two huge pitch-black dragon horns on the top of the head, as if the blood-red pupils that could burn the entire grassland stared fiercely at Wu.
And the dragon head in the gray-white magic array is very different from the temperament of the red dragon on the side.
It was an extremely rare dragon, without any scales, and it could directly see the pure white skin. The smooth head does not have half a dragon horn, but the lower jaw has several long whiskers.
He seems to be blind in his right eye, and his right eye has been closed since the summoning. There is a scar about a meter long on the right eyelid, and although the kind left eye is open, it seems that the pearly white pupil is not visible.
It's a bit of a bad situation.
If it's the power of two dragons, I'm not sure if I can resist it.
However, Wu is obviously worried.
When the dragon's head was completely revealed outside the magic circle, it stopped at the same time, revealing only the part of the dragon's head.
That should be two full dragon bodies. But under Diesent's control, only dragon heads capable of attacking are summoned.
Depending on the amount of elemental energy in his father's body, it would be no problem to summon two complete dragons-
Wait a minute...... Wrong.
It wasn't something my father had deliberately controlled.
Using the observation ability of gluttony, Wu seems to be unconsciously digging out the secrets that his father has been hiding for a long time.
There seems to be a rather different force on the left side of Discente's chest.
It was an anomalous power that didn't belong to Dieson in the first place.
Or "external forces".
That strange force was suppressing the dragon power that was gradually emerging.
Can't be wrong.
It was the "Sealing Technique" - a seal that was deliberately applied to suppress the power in the body.
Why is it a "long-lasting" secret?
Sealing magic is actually like shackles that shackle the flesh, and it will rust and loosen over time.
And the sealing technique he saw in his eyes no longer had violent power fluctuations, and it had obviously lost its elasticity. The elements used to seal the power also seem to leak slightly, and they are absorbed or excreted by the flesh and blood in the father's body.
