The Dark Knight's Counterattack Ten

Is hell like that?

Although the Dungeon Lord and Demon Amtils had never described his hometown to the Archmage, the Demon World Abyssal Domain, Aqiman was convinced that what he saw before him was nothing more than the eerie Abyssal Domain.

There is no trace of life in this black world. The sunlight and water, on which no people, no animals, no plants, and even any living thing depends, seem to be completely absent in this world. The archmage was carried out of the palace of the Lich Geyez by two zombies, and came down the road in front of him in the direction of the gray desert with his back to the outside. The road seemed to be sloping upward, maybe it was a way up the hill?, Aqiman guessed, and began to look around.

It was a bare mountain of rocks, covered with craggy black stones, and from time to time one or two huge pillars of stone could be seen jutting out of the ground, looking like human finger bones pointing to the sky. Is it just that there is a sky here? Aqiman was really unsure, and when he looked up, he saw only a vast gray patch, and the skeleton of the occasional flying bird, or some other living creature, added to the incomparable eerie atmosphere around him, and beyond that, the sky was completely gray, with no sun, no moon, no stars, not even the most ordinary clouds.

Helpless. Aqiman wanted to sigh, but opened his mouth and closed it suddenly, the stench around him was so strong that Archmage Aqiman really didn't want his nose to be ravaged and his mouth to fall into the same fate again. The closest source of the foul smell came from the two zombies who were carrying Aqiman along the mountain road, one with only half a head and a brain that seemed to have congealed into a ball, while the other had its intestines dragged long on the ground, occasionally slicing off one or two disgusting pieces by small stones in the road. There are many other zombies that are similar in appearance but have different parts of damage, and they are all around Akiman and the two zombies carrying him. Zombies are quite stiff and sluggish. The carrying of Aqiman was considered to be very secure, but Aqiman would rather be carrying his rude skeletons now. At the very least, the skeleton doesn't seem to have the stench of zombies.

In fact, the skeletons were not far from Aqiman, and the only place where Aqiman, who was tightly bound all over his body, could move was his neck, and as soon as he twisted his neck, he saw countless skeletons. Not only human skeletons, but also the skeletons of all the creatures that have ever appeared on the continent of Vesta, to be precise, the skeletons of these creatures. The skeletons gathered along the road, watching as Aqiman was carried by two zombies, through the skeletons, before stopping. Two heavily armed skeleton warriors take Aqiman from the zombies and continue their way up the mountain.

The skeletons don't have a zombie-like stench on their bodies. Their flesh had long since decayed and vanished, and all that remained was a moving skeleton and the marks of insects and ants on the bones, and the smell of perfume and blood mixed in the air. Vampires, who are no strangers to this kind of thing, suck blood for their survival, so that their whole body is permeated with blood, and many vampires will choose to sprinkle a little perfume on themselves, not to cater to the olfactory needs of some people or other creatures, but simply to keep their prey from being overly sensitive to the smell of blood. Archmage seemed to hear a lot of vampires talking about him, especially his blood, but the archmage was sure that he would neither satisfy their appetite nor fall into their mouths, and that there must be more terrifying undead creatures waiting for him in the mountains.

As the road up the hill came up, the surrounding gray light seemed to get brighter. This should not be an illusion. Finding himself able to see a little bit of the colors around him, rather than being dominated by black, gray, and white, he was confronted by a large black marble altar. Many of the things on the altar were radiating a colorful glow in all directions. The white starlight that floated forever on top of Akiman's Staff of Illusory Stars was evident that no necromancer around liked it: the gleaming golden light was undoubtedly the Book of the Moon that the Dark Knight had stolen from the dungeons, and the Book of the Moon looked even more brilliant than usual at the moment.

The two richly dressed, plus Ghiyz himself, had a total of three lichs around the altar, five vampire kings in a black cloak with fine gray trim, and more than ten fully armored Dark Knights, and the traces of the shaved crest of the Holy Knights were still visible on their chests, and Akiman recognized his companion in the dungeon: the Dark Knight Salas. All of the Dark Knights, including Salas, were followed by a large number of skeleton warriors or cavalry, with Salas standing out in the eye: he was half a head taller than the tallest of the other Dark Knights.

The black altar faced a steep cliff, and Aqiman was led to the side of the cliff, which gave him a glimpse of what was going on in the black valley below. A huge gray ball of light lay silently at the bottom of the valley, and for a moment it kept flowing out of the surrounding gray light, could it be that the sky of this world was illuminated by this ball of light?

A murmuring incantation interrupted Archmage Akiman's thoughts, and a black-robed figure stretched out his hands toward the ball of light below the valley, and several gray rays of light shone through the figure's cloak and on Akiman's face, a skeleton mage. There was silence all around, except for the sound of the skeleton mage's spell echoing through the air, until a circular black dot appeared in the center of the ball of light, and the spell stopped and was replaced by the sound of bones colliding against each other, as if there was something in the black dot that caused a small commotion in the skeleton group. As the black dots in the orb of light continued to expand, the skeletons in the presence seemed more uneasy, and the low-level necromantic creatures retreated, leaving only the Lich, the Vampire King, and the Dark Knight still standing still.

"This is your last chance, Aqiman. Guiz took two steps and stared at Akiman with his fireball eyes. "Get down on your knees and declare allegiance to me. You will be forever alive. ”

"Monsters. Die!" a mace struck the goblinsette viciously on the head with a roar.

Several unidentified individuals broke into the lair of Caesar the Red Dragon on Mount Tor around noon. Only the Goblins and Dark Elf Ness were inside. However, these uninvited passengers are not very good, and the trap that Ness has set up before awaits them, and the residents of the dungeon are anticipating a number of adventurers to "visit" recently, due to the fact that the red dragon is not at home these days. The roar of the red dragon is clearly visible in the city of Thor far down the mountain, and not many people have the courage to challenge the dragon, but once the roar of the dragon is gone, there will be many "brave" adventurers who will be happy to try their luck.

Today is not the first adventurer, a pair of thieves tried to cross the orc village up the mountain, but ended up losing their lives in the hands of the orc Fugg and his people, and the dark elf Niss's sister Nia who stayed in Thor's city sent someone to secretly send the news. Tell the inhabitants of the dungeon about every team that has planned, or attempted to come on a treasure hunt. The pair of thieves belong to the local Thieves' Guild, and Nia is glad that they will never be able to return to Thor, and in return, a nobleman from the north and his men are suddenly attacked not far from Thor, and the nobleman's original goal is the treasure of the dragon on Thor's volcano, but he and his retinue's sophisticated weapons and wallets full of gold coins are also regarded as treasures by others.

The group that had come up the mountain today was quite clever enough not to try to cross the orc village or approach the eerie-looking dungeon, and after a little circle, the adventurers approached the red dragon's lair in the crater. That's when the trap that Ness and Goblinsette had set up at the entrance to the Red Dragon's lair came into play: a thief at the front of the team stepped on the trap, two sharp bolts pierced his calf, and a pile of stumbling ropes on the ground caused the heavily armored warriors in the team to lose their balance, and the warriors rolled forward uncontrollably, until they were close to the edge of the lava lake.

Hiding on the sidelines, Nice appeared just in time, jumped behind the warrior and kicked him hard, and the warrior fell in the direction of the lava lake, but clung to the rocks with both hands. This kept him from falling into the scorching lava for a while. Ness didn't come forward to pursue, the heat of the magma was enough to roast the warrior's body in a short time, but the other didn't have the patience to wait for the warrior to fall on his own: a figure in the lava lake suddenly rose up and half of his body. Stretching out his red arm, he grabbed the warrior's feet and pulled the warrior into the lava. The demon Amtils, the lord of the dungeon, was not willing to let go of such an opportunity to relieve loneliness, but the wounds on his chest and arm had just touched the air, and puffs of white smoke came out of it, accompanied by severe pain, and the demon hurriedly returned to the lava lake, silently watching the warrior who fell into the lava instantly turn into a skeleton in armor, and after a while, the armor also melted, and the warrior disappeared from the continent of Vista from then on.

After shouting: "Am, we are here, don't mess around." Afterwards, Ness turned to face the remaining opponents, who called themselves brave adventurers, and the dungeon's inhabitants saw them as shameless intruders. Whatever the name, it's clear that the opponent's power has been greatly impaired: the warriors have turned into smoke in the lava lake, and the thieves are holding their shinks and rolling on the ground screaming. There were four people left: a young man dressed in ordinary traveler's attire who held a dagger in his hand but was not wearing any armor, and Ness, who guessed he was actually a mage or warlock, and a young man in leather armor, who held a scimitar, There was also a snow-white furball at his feet, and if it was a wolf, then this man was probably a druid, Ness thought, and the other two were wearing heavy armor, one of the tall women had a mace in her hand, and the other man was holding a long sword in one hand and a large wooden shield in the other.

At this time, the other party seemed to be ready to rush forward. Suddenly, a large net fell on their heads, and the goblin sequenced the moment: except for the druid, who nimbly dodged away, the other three were so tightly covered by the net that they could barely move. The furball at the druid's feet also ran away with its owner. It was a young wolf. Maybe they were frightened by the remnants of the red dragon's breath in the cave. The little wolf does not have the fierceness of the wolves in the mountains and forests on weekdays. Without hesitation, the druid turned to face his companion and said a word, and a flame appeared in the druid's hand, and then flew towards the large net that covered the others and burned a large hole in the net, at which point Ness rushed right behind the druid, raised the long dagger in her hand and stabbed at the druid.

Ness's attack missed. She had been confident in this stab, but she did not expect that the opponent who was concentrating on casting the spell would be able to dodge her sneak attack, and when Ness saw the situation in front of her, she could only let out a helpless "ah": a long sword pierced through the druid's leather armor and chest, and the warrior of the longsword watched in amazement as his companion who had been injured by himself lay on the ground, his feet kicking weakly. The cause of this situation is the thief who fell to the ground with an arrow, and the arrows of the crossbow arrows in the trap that Ness has set up are smeared with a painful poison. It was these poisons that were the culprit, the thieves writhing in pain, but unfortunately tripping their companions, the unlucky druids, while the warriors happened to be wielding their swords and cooperating with the druid's flames to cut through the web that hindered everyone's movements, and the druids fell impartially on the sword.

The other two broke free from the net, the one Ness guessed was the mage chanting a long spell, and the other women hurried to the thieves and druids, and Ness began to attack the warrior without thinking, who was now looking at his sword in embarrassment, unable to muster the courage to pull it out of his companion. A javelin thrown by Goblinset grazed the woman's side, but her opponent ignored it and simply placed a hand on the fallen thief's calf, and in an instant, the wound on the thief's calf began to heal, and there was no doubt that the woman must be a priest skilled in medical spells. The priest then turned to face Seth, who was trying to throw another javelin, and shouted in his mouth, "Monster. Die!", while knocking the mace into the head of the goblinset.

The mage's incantation seemed to be at the end, and he raised a hand. A dazzling light began to coalesce in his hand, but it never had a chance to be released again, and a gray figure appeared behind the mage at some point. Morgan, the gray dwarf, slashed his iron axe into the mage's body with ease, and the mage snorted and fell to the ground with a thud. The thief, who had been healed by the priest, jumped to his feet, drew his dagger and prepared to strike the goblin with the priest, but the goblin barely avoided the strikes of the priest's mace, and a long arrow suddenly flew from outside the red dragon's cave and pierced the thief's neck, so the thief jumped up and fell to the ground again, and this time there was no chance for the priest to save him, and the thief fell beside the druid, and his feet shook like the druid, and there was no more sound.

The archer was the orc Fugg, who had been lying in ambush outside the cave for some time. The orc let out a smug shout when he saw that his arrow had hit the target accurately, then dropped his longbow and drew his battle axe and rushed into the hole. By this time, the battle had already ended, and the warrior had lost his sword, leaving only the large wooden shield and a small dagger in his hand, which was usually only suitable for cutting large pieces of meat at banquets, and naturally could not play a greater role at the moment, and the dark elf Ness, with her nimble pace, easily avoided the shield and plunged a long dagger through the gap in the warrior's armor.

As a result, among the invaders of the Red Dragon's lair, only the female priest remained. The goblin raised his dagger to her, and the dark elves silently began to approach her back, the gray dwarf Morgan roared and charged at her, and the orc Fugg stopped and grabbed the shivering, druid's little white wolf from under the cave wall. Seeing this, the priest stopped attacking the goblin and began to look around, and after making sure that there was no way to escape, the tall girl did not hesitate to throw the mace in her hand to the ground, and then sat down on the ground and began to cry.

Falling from the sky to the ground is actually a pleasing pleasure to the eye, but only when you cast a feather fall or flying technique on yourself. And Archmage Aqiman not only did not have a feather falling spell and flying spell on his body at this moment, but he didn't even have a single feather that was needed to cast a flying spell, and even more so, Ah Qiman's hands were tied with ropes, so he didn't even have a chance to stretch out his hands and flutter at all.

There are many kinds of materials used to make ropes, including plant branches, leather cut into long strips, and animal Achilles tendons, but the ropes that bind Aqiman today are clearly not made from these materials. Could these necromans be able to pull the silk out of the stone? (To be continued......)
