In the previous kills, Luke's experience points were full, and even much more.

If he retires from the battlefield for a while and takes a break, he should be able to regain his status with the bonus boost and recovery effects that come with upgrades.

But for a while, if no one was restrained, it was enough for the rats to get out of the forbidden land and have fun everywhere in Twina and even in Phoenix.

Luke was secretly anxious in his heart, and he still couldn't make up his mind, and still mechanically drove the magma to kill in the rat swarm according to the previous rhythm.

Right now.

A rumbling sound came.

Four pickup trucks crashed into the fence of the restricted area and went straight in, and Luke looked over at a glance and first spotted Dast and Yaska, who turned out to be from the Special Transactions Brigade.

As soon as she got out of the car, Lorena, who was leading the team in front of her, changed her face, she looked at the rats crawling all over the ground, swallowed her saliva, and asked, "Are we enough heavy firepower?" ”

Without waiting for the logistics officer behind him to answer, on the opposite side of the forbidden land, another wall also collapsed, and after a puff of smoke, more than a dozen armored vehicles that looked like small tanks appeared in Lorena's eyes.

On the roof of the armored car, Elizabeth was excitedly holding an AT-4 to aim.

Beside her, there were trucks of large-caliber heavy machine guns, 40mm automatic grenade launchers, and even several armored vehicles that had been converted into aviation cannons and 106mm mortars.

Under the control of the mages of the Flame School, these weapons are turning their guns to calibrate their targets and prepare to fire.

Looking at the firepower on the other side, Lorena said embarrassedly: "The other side is more like a regular army than us." ”

The logistics officer looked at those cannons enviously, didn't roll his eyes, and said perfunctorily: "That's the White Flame Company, we all bought these rags from his house, this operation is a free weapons exhibition for them, don't you put out all the things at the bottom of the box?" ”

Elizabeth took the loudspeaker and shouted inside, "Hey, Luke, come out!" Get out of the way! ”

Luke glanced back, and without saying a word, commanded the crow to leave the combat area, and then a [shapeshift] came to Elizabeth's side.

Watching the woman frantically take out one AT-4 after another and bombard it wildly, Luke complained, "Hey, teacher, you're a mage, can you use some normal mage methods." Where's your staff? What about your magic? ”

Elizabeth was full of enthusiasm for this explosive thermal weapon, and this time she finally had the opportunity to play casually at public expense, like a wild husky, and she couldn't stop at all. She threw down the canister she had just fired, bent down to pick up another one, and gestured to Luke, "This is my staff, disposable staff, and rockets are my magic." ”

With that, another rocket flew towards the rat swarm with a long tail flame.

The monster that brought the scorching magma was finally gone, and the frightened Skaven had just let out a "yes yes" twice, rockets, grenades, and 12.7mm machine gun bullets and 30mm machine gun bullets rained down, much more exaggerated than Luke's magma fire rain density.

Whether it is the most ordinary clan rat, rat troll, or rat trin, plague monk, rat rat and rat are equal in front of the machine gun, as long as they eat a shot, the hit part is directly broken, the rat troll is through a big hole and then falls, and the other rats and rats are directly rotten into several pieces, flying all over the sky.

Seeing the performance of one person from the Flame School, the small water pipes of the Special Affairs Processing Brigade were embarrassed to take out, and they only stood guard nearby to prevent the rats from escaping from their own direction.

With the power of the cannons, in just a few minutes, all the Skaven who entered the world were emptied.

The armored vehicles slowly marched towards the cracks in the tunnel, and Skaven's corpses were crushed into puddles of flesh by the wheels, and some clever Skaven jumped up and fled, and then were killed by the mage's fireballs and rays one by one, and only then did people react that the supporter was a mage organization, not a regular army.

The Skaven warlord in the abyss on the opposite side also sensed that something was wrong, there was not much cannon fodder left under his command, and most of the ranged troops were also used, and at first there was still a little bit of advance feedback, from a few minutes ago, it seemed that there was an extra mouse-eating elemental beast on the opposite side, no matter how many soldiers filled it, it couldn't make a splash.

It's just an ordinary Skaven warlord, and when the glory of fighting for the Great Horned Rat in another world just fell on its head, it was really excited to death, and it felt that its chance to be among the "Thirteen Councils" had arrived, but as time went on, the soldiers in its hands were almost finished, and there was nothing to gain.

The suspicion and cowardice in the mouse's heart made it retreat, after all, as a Skaven warlord, it was already the top class in Skaven, in order to seek the illusory opportunity of the "Thirteen Councils" and fight the army to finish, then sooner or later it would not be able to keep its own territory, and it would be annexed by other warlords, and there would be only a dead end at that time.

What I can't get from Master Taigas, I don't want other rats to get it, this tunnel would rather be wasted than let others take advantage of it. What's more, if this tunnel lasts for a long time, it is possible to invade again after the clan becomes more powerful in the future.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he directly stopped his men's invasion and ordered his men to cover up the tunnel.

At the other end of the tunnel, the support troops of the Flame School saw that no new rats had come out for a long time, and the game of whack-a-mole could not be played, so they sent a few people to install a large number of mines at the mouth of the tunnel, which were continued to be guarded by several armored vehicles, and a few mages scanned at any time with mental power to prevent stealth rats from slipping out.

As for why not counterattack the abyss?

The polluted place where the two worlds meet, that is, the large forbidden area, the gunpowder weapons in this world will all become ineffective. Therefore, most scholars deduce that the opposite side may be a world where firearms are completely ineffective, and in the absence of gunpowder weapons, these people will be a little dead when they storm the Skaven rat herd.

The rest gathered together and began to study Raleier, who was suspended in mid-air.

That city existed in the Void, and even Albert and Lerol were still at war in it. But the crowd just couldn't influence the city in the slightest.

The two men in the city had a temporary truce at this time, and Albert was never able to really kill Lerol, and Lerol couldn't even break Albert's skin.

Seeing that there were no more Skaven rat people in the space tunnel, Lerol was angry at the cowardice of these damn rats, and his face was still impassive, and he chuckled and said, "Captain, it seems that the believers of the Great Horned Rats are even more cowardly than I expected, and you are in luck." Fortunately, today is not completely without gains. ”

He looked Albert up and down and said, "Didn't you notice?" Your physical condition is getting better and better, and your physical strength is getting more and more abundant. Yikes! This little scale on your arm is so beautiful, and you're sure to be the most powerful diver in the world. ”

Albert followed his gaze and noticed that a scale resembling a fish had grown on his arm.

He was shocked in his heart, but he didn't break it directly with his hands, but took a step back away from Lerol, and saw that the other party did not chase after him, so he maintained a defensive posture and felt his physical state with his heart.

Heart, no problem.

The liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, any organ is fine.

The muscles are fine, the bones are fine.

skin

No problem.

There is no single symptom of an energy invasion.

It's as if the scale was illusory, or something he was born with.

Albert frowned and pulled the scale outward.

"Hiss"

A heart-rending pain instantly transmitted from the junction of scales and flesh to his mind, and even a battle-hardened muscular guy like him couldn't hold back a low cry of pain.

Not an illusion.

That is. Do I have scales myself?

Am I a fish?

In a trance, Albert seemed to see a huge, tentacled silhouette flickering in his field of vision, and an inexplicable thought began to boil, and he hurriedly calmed his heart, not thinking or looking, as if his reason was about to explode if he looked at it again.

Cthulhu's dreams wouldn't dissipate for a while, enough to turn Albert into a diver and take him out of here. Lerol didn't bother Albert either, just watched from afar, waiting for the power of the gods to subtly affect him.

Albert sat down cross-legged, the power of the fluctuating concussion spreading throughout his body, and he continued to search for anomalies in his body inch by inch.

This time, he finally found something wrong, and through the fluctuations, he vaguely felt that a dark green strange energy was sticking to his skin like an appendage, and as if it was alive, it drilled into the skin one by one.

Fortunately, he specializes in physical cultivation and is extremely resistant to xenomorph energy, even the energy of the evil god can only penetrate inward inwards invisibly and little by little, and that inexplicable scale represents that the evil god infection has broken through his first layer of defense and began to quietly enter his body and transform him.

A reckless man like Albert is most worried about the enemy he can't see, and he has nowhere to exert his strength. Now that he had a goal, he was also a little relieved in his heart, and he manipulated the power of fluctuations in his body to fight against the invading energy.

But that energy level is extremely high, and the fluctuating power in his body can only barely resist, and if he relaxes slightly, he will be infected even more, and after a while, two scales have grown on his arm.

Outside Lalleye, in the open space of the penalty area.

The Anomalous Affairs Brigade and the Flame School have their own abilities, such as lightning sparks, wind and resentment, and many other abilities, but they all pass through the phantom, and they can't have any impact on the city of dreams. Even the spatial powerhouser Ojija took the risk of activating his ability and tried to directly enter Laleiye through the space, but he only crossed into the void and quickly fell downward, unable to touch a single cent of the city.

Of course, Luke also tried, but unfortunately, activating various abilities was like fishing for the moon in water, in vain.

Just when everyone was helpless, a mouth flew from afar

It was the same, very ordinary mouth, with a pair of wings, fluttering and fluttering to Luke's side.

The mouth opened and closed, and a familiar voice came out, it turned out to be Professor Harvey, I don't know what prop he was using, as if this strange mouth was only visible to Luke, and everyone else was oblivious.

"This city is called Lalleye, and it is a city formed by a long-ago dream of the old god Cthulhu, which exists only in his dreams, and no one can actively touch it except his followers. I have His curse on me, and I will be pulled in as soon as I appear near the dream, so I can't come for a while, and I can only use a little prop to remind you. ”

Luke didn't know if he could see his movements with this mouth, but nodded slightly to indicate that he heard it.

The mouth continued, "Regarding Cthulhu's weakness, I only know that he seems to be inexplicably afraid of ships, and I don't know much about the rest. That's all I can say, or reason is going to fall again, okay, I'm leaving. ”

After saying that, the mouth suddenly began to grow old and wither, and Bia fell to the ground with a thud, and then instantly decayed into a puddle of clear water and melted into the ground.

Luke summed up what Harvey had said.

dream

Afraid of boats

So now there is only one option left, and that is to give Cthulhu a scare and wake him up from his sweet dream.

Luke had been idle for a while, and after just leaving the battle, he found a safe place behind the armored vehicle position and directly confirmed the upgrade, and the current experience point situation is level 13 (83%).

Although the individual experience points of these rats are extremely low, the mosquito legs are also meat, not to mention the hundreds of mosquito legs, which directly increases Luke's experience points by almost a full level.

At this time, his [Body Strength] reaches 15 points, and his [Soul Strength] reaches 22 points.

Upgrading to level 12 and level 13 brought two opportunities for skill fusion, and he hadn't figured out which skills to use for the time being, so he put them aside.

After leveling up, and resting for a while, Luke's psionic energy was fully restored, and he asked the people next to him to make room to channel the psionic energy into the earth, summoning a large amount of magma, and then condensing some of it into a rudimentary canoe shape.

He leaped into the boat, maneuvering the magma to form a tidal wave, like a boatman battling the wind and waves on the sea of fire, steering the canoe to Lalaye, suspended in mid-air.

The apparition of the magnificent city began to tremble slightly, ripples rising in it.

As the ship got closer, the ripples became more and more intense.

Looking at Lalaye's reaction, a look of hope flashed in everyone's eyes.

In a matter of seconds, Luke's lava ship plunged straight into the void where Lalleye was.

But it backfired, he still couldn't reach the city, and like everyone else, he went straight through it.

Before people could sigh in disappointment, Lalaie in the void suddenly underwent a drastic change, buildings collapsed, houses collapsed, and spaces collapsed, as if they were experiencing the end of the world.

Then, suddenly, like the morning dew, it disappeared without a trace.

Albert and Lerol fall back into reality.

A chaotic, terrifying, slimy, wet breath came from across the crack, none other than the nightmarish Cthulhu's wake-up gas.
