The Demon of Destruction, a negative product that has accompanied the birth of the Arcane since its birth.

If the spiritual arcane is a mountain above the snow line, then the Sinking Demon is one of those who have climbed this peak and died.

Especially in the early days, before the Ring of Twist was invented, the Arcane could not keep their hearts, and the Fallen abounded.

It is for this reason that it is precisely for this reason.

Even if the arcane mages opened up another powerful force, the Storm Empire under the rule of knights, they still suppressed and squeezed out the arcane mages.

After all, no one dares to guarantee that the arcane mage who greeted him today will not degenerate into a demon of destruction tomorrow to kill himself.

Even the arcane mages are full of intrigue and layers of defense.

Until the creation of the Seven Towers Federation.

An arcane mage accidentally discovered that he could lock his heart in the spirit core in a mapping way, thus inventing the Twisted Ring technology. Since then, the Arcane Mages have been able to use the effects of the Twisted Ring to finally curb the birth of the Sinking Demon.

The Armager who invented the Ring of Twisting, Yaweiya, was also successfully selected as a sage after the establishment of the Valhalla Temple.

But.

The Twisted Ring can indeed curb the birth of the Sinking Demon, but it cannot guarantee a 100% success rate, after all, there are some arcane mages who suffer from some kind of accidental loss of their hearts, and even the Twisted Ring cannot be blocked, and finally become spiritual slaves.

Acting only according to the desires of the heart, no longer possessing any personality.

"Roar!"

Outside the pillar of light in the moonlight cage, the black smoke billowing from the Sinking Demon circled around the pillar of light, seemingly looking for a weakness to break through the pillar of light.

And in the battleship Bibo, Duke stared nervously at the sunken demon outside.

The Phantom of Keystone Fury, who had already returned to the inside of the battleship, looked extremely serious: "This Sinking Demon is very powerful, it is the 7-ring Morning Star level, the moonlight cage given by Lord Duke and Serthas, can it withstand its blow?" ”

"I don't know, but Lord Serthas told me that the moonlight cage is enough to hold out until he arrives." Duke replied.

"I hope so, otherwise, you wait...... Everything points to disaster. The Keystone Phantom looked serious.

In the face of the 7-ring Morning Star-level Sinking Demon, not to mention that the Keystone Phantom is just a 5-ring clone, even if Keystone himself is there, it is not enough to see.

"Yes, we can only hope for Lord Serthas...... This feeling of powerlessness is really ...... Abhor! The jade pendant in Duke's hand had been shattered into powder, and looking at the Sinking Demon hovering outside the pillar of light, he didn't even have a strong desire to pull out his gun.

His two-ring sand eagle can kill a 5-ring spirit beast, and even give a little strength to find a weak point, and it is not impossible to kill a 6-ring spirit beast.

But against spirit beasts whose life level has reached 7 rings, they can't break the defense.

Even the 7-ring spirit beast can't break the defense, what is the use of facing the 7-ring sinking demon.

It must be known that a 5-ring arcane mage like Keystone can basically beat 7-ring and 8-ring spirit beasts, and even 9-ring wurms can resist one or two. When the black jade horseshoe crab dragon invaded, it was Keystone Fury who sacrificed his own arcane weapon to repel the black jade horseshoe crab dragon.

Perhaps in terms of life level, the ring level of the spirit beast is not much different from the ring level of the arcane mage.

But with the blessing of wisdom and civilization, the combat power of the arcane mage far surpasses that of the spirit beasts.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rings are a large class, the 4th, 5th, and 6th rings are a large class, and the 7th, 8th, and 9th rings are a large class.

The two-ring sand eagle can cross one large class and kill the 6-ring spirit beast, but it is impossible to cross the two large classes and kill the 7-ring spirit beast.

What's more, the Sinking Demon was originally formed by the fall of the arcane mage, and the combat power of the arcane mage is basically the same.

"Duke." The Keystone Phantom suddenly turned his head.

"What?"

"If Lord Sel'thas doesn't arrive in time, I'll detonate this clone and the Blue Wave to defend you for a moment, and you can run as far as you can...... As long as Serthas can get in before he catches you, you have a chance of surviving. ”

Hear the words.

Duke turned his head with difficulty and glanced at the two little assistants who were trembling with fear not far away, Mulali and Mulashan.

and the personal knight who is firmly guarding his side, Vivien.

Even when Keystone said that he was going to detonate the Bibo, Vivien only raised her eyebrows when she heard it, and did not react otherwise.

Touching the small pocket lying on his shoulder, Duke's nervous expression suddenly calmed down: "No need, my lord." ”

"You're stupid!" Keystone Phantom glared.

Then he seemed to understand something, and said coldly: "Everyone on this battleship is serving you, including dying for you!" There is no other reason, and there is no need for your gratuitous woman's kindness, sacrificing for the mage, it is their fate! ”

Rumble!

Outside, the Sinking Demon who had been wandering for a long time finally couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand and waved, and suddenly condensed three arcane hands emitting billowing black smoke around his body, grabbing towards the pillar of light in the moonlight cage.

It's like hot oil touching cold water.

Violent explosions rang out at the edge of the pillar of light, and the black smoke hand was burned miserably by the moonlight. But the Sinking Demon didn't care, and controlled the black smoke hand to continuously attack the pillar of light, allowing the pillar of light to burn, and it only destroyed one of them.

"Your Excellency!" Vivien stepped forward and put her right hand on her chest, "You are our hope, and it is our meaning to sacrifice for you!" ”

Captain Herdos, who was dressed in gold armor, also stepped forward and saluted as a knight: "Dying to protect your lordship is part of our contract, please don't worry about it, as a knight, fight and die, die well, die a glorious death!" ”

Bang!

Outside the pillar of light, the Sinking Demon went berserk, not only condensing a large hand of black smoke to attack the pillar of light, but also risking being burned by the moonlight, constantly squeezing from the dim place of the pillar of light.

"The stakes are at stake!" Keystone waved his hand, "Duke, get out of the ship, quick!" ”

Between words.

His figure had already burst out of the battleship, condensing countless arcane icicles, like Gatling, and bombarding the location of the Sinking Demon indiscriminately.

"My lord, let's leave!" Vivien shouted urgently.

"No hurry, no hurry."

Duke waved his hand.

I was already communicating with Xiaoyi in my heart: "Run at full speed, fast, Xiaoyi, put all the power into the charging of Duke Star!" ”

"Master, you're already fully recharged."

"How long will it take to be full?"

"3 minutes and 15 seconds...... 3 minutes and 12 seconds...... "Xiaoyi began the countdown.

Two sharp flashes of light flashed in Duke's eyes, and he turned to Vivien and Herdos and commanded, "Join the fighting pod and fend off the Sinking Demon." ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Do what you are told."

"Yes......" The two were helpless and entered the fighting compartment

As for Duke himself, he also entered the fighting compartment, condensed the Arcane Hand and the Two-Ring Sand Eagle, and silently waited for the Star Mark in Duke's Star to be charged.

"Tsk!" Xiao Dou, who didn't know why, also followed, jumped on Duke's shoulder, and prepared to fight alongside Duke.

"Okay, let's fight together!"

Duke looked ahead, the Sinking Demon was still desperately squeezing into the pillar of light, already squeezing it out of a huge groove.

The Keystone Phantom desperately unleashes the arcane.

When he turned around, he saw that Duke had not left the battleship, and he couldn't help but shout, "What are you doing!" ”

Duke Lang responded, "Lord Keystone, buy me 2 minutes and 24 seconds, don't worry, I have my own way out!" ”

Taking a deep look at Duke in the fighting pod, Keystone turned back and concentrated on killing the Sinking Demon.

Serthas hadn't arrived yet.

The Sinking Demon had squeezed his entire body into the grooves of the moonlight cage, and the light in the pillar of light was distorted, like a plastic film, ready to burst at any moment.

However, the light also scorched the black smoke on the Sinking Demon's body at all times, causing the Sinking Demon to let out a terrible roar, as if the flesh and blood were being burned.

Then.

A hint of Xiao Yi suddenly came from his mind: "The face comparison is successful, the identity of the Sinking Demon has been judged, it is the 7-Ring Morning Star Arcane Mentor, the Gravel Realm Town Guardian, and the Chief Ruler of the United Tower of High River City. ”

"Mother's Xipi's!"

Duke was furious: "I knew it was this dog bastard, because I robbed him of the opportunity to open the will of the stars, and he fell into a sinking demon and didn't let me go!" ”

In fact, there is no need for the little artist's face to be compared, and Duke can roughly guess that this sinking demon is most likely Miguil.

Seeing the Sinking Demon Miguir, his entire body was about to squeeze through the pillar of light and enter.

Duke clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Dog, it's not like I have to rob you of your chance, you don't go to find the stubble of the Stars Meeting, you come to me!" What kind of world is this, even the sinking demon knows that the persimmon is soft and pinched! ”

"1 minute and 21 seconds ......" Xiaoyi is still counting down.

The figure of Serthas has not yet appeared.

Seeing that the Sinking Demon Miguil was about to squeeze in, the Keystone Phantom floated in front of the battle compartment where Duke was, and said in a cold voice: "Detonate the battleship, you still have the last glimmer of hope to escape, Duke, if you hesitate any longer, it will be too late to regret it!" ”

"I understand, sir, but I have a better choice! Believe me! Duke's gaze was steadfast.

Detonating the battleship, at most resisting the Sunken Demon Miguil for a moment, facing the 7-ring Morning Star-level Sunken Demon, even if Duke relies on "Duke Flying Feather" to soar to hundreds of kilometers per hour, whether he can really escape the pursuit of the Sunken Demon Miguil is still an unsolved mystery.

The only way to escape is to hide in the dream of the stars.

"54 seconds!" Duke replied loudly, "My lord, help me hold on for another 54 seconds, not 52 seconds!" ”

Unaware of it, Keystone chose to believe Duke, perhaps knowing in his heart that even if he detonated the battleship, he could not really guarantee Duke's safety.

Forthwith.

The Keystone Phantom looked at the broken pillar of light, and without looking back, he met it, and at the moment when the Sinking Demon Miguil was about to reach in, he suddenly detonated his own clone.

Bang!

The huge blast wave caused the entire Blue Wave battleship to sway in the air, as if it was a flat boat in the middle of the sea.

"Roar!" The Sinking Demon Miguel roared.

Duke stared at the outside of the battle pod, waiting for the light of the clone's explosion to dissipate, only to see the Sunken Demon Miguil being blown back a little.

But only a little.

The black smoke from Miguil, the Fallen Demon, had been dimmed by the moonlight, and had become even fainter by the impact of the explosion of the Kiston clone.

Even in some places where the black smoke can't be hidden, you can see the white bones of the forest.

I don't know what kind of mutation made a human suddenly turn into a sinking demon dozens of meters high.

"21 seconds ......"

"Roar!"

One of the arms of the Sinking Demon Miguil had already squeezed into the moonlight cage, followed by his head, which was pressed against the edge of the faint pillar of light, and the light was constantly distorted and faded like a balloon.

At the same time, the light burned the black smoke on its head, extinguishing the black smoke from its entire head.

It revealed a completely white bone skull, as well as two green ghost fires in the eye sockets, and emitted green gas to the outside.

"Hasn't Selthas arrived yet?" Duke glanced at the moon in the sky, which was no longer so bright, "The 8-Ring Radiant Moon Arcane Mentor is not so reliable." ”

He patted the little pocket on his shoulder: "Go down, stay here, I'm going to do something big." ”

"Tsk!" Xiaodou bit Duke's collar and was resolute.

Duke rolled his gaze and ignored it.

Opening the door of the fighting compartment, he suddenly jumped off the battleship, and then a white wing stretched out behind him, carrying him towards the Sinking Demon Miguil.

The hand of the arcane weapon hovered tightly in front of him.

The Two-Ringed Sand Eagle has already set its sights on the Sinking Demon Miguil.

When he arrived in front of the Fallen Demon, Duke could see that the head and arms of the Fallen Demon Miguil had been completely squeezed into the moonlight cage.

He raised the two-ring sand eagle suddenly, and a fierce smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Come on, Miguier, taste the taste of face and body!" ”

The sand hawk switches to burst mode, and the muzzle of the gun constantly sprays arcane light.

Puff puff......

One after another, the flame bombs exploded in the eyes, nostrils, and mouth of the Sinking Demon Miguil, and clusters of fireworks overflowed.

It was as if countless large red flowers had been embroidered on the face of the Sinking Demon Miguil.

"Haha!"

Duke shot a bullet into the air, Duke flew feathers and fanned, and the whole person's body rushed away in the opposite direction like a ray of light.

In a matter of moments, he rushed out of the scope of the moonlight cage.

This moonlight cage is a one-way defense, outside but not inside, so Duke can rush out at will and dive towards the ground at great speed.

"Your Excellency!" Vivien leaned on the glass of the fighting compartment and shouted loudly.

But Duke had disappeared into the sky.

The Sinking Demon Miguir, who suffered from Du Keyan's size, also gave up and continued to squeeze into the moonlight cage, and with a swing of his body, black smoke billowed and ignited, and chased towards the ground.

The men who left the Bibo, along with a battleship, called out to Duke.

Vivien even rushed directly to the door of the battleship, intending to jump down and follow Duke, but was subdued by Herdos: "Don't do stupid things, your lord is deeply favored by the spirit, and it will definitely be fine!" ”

Mulali and Mula Shan also rushed over, hugged Vivian and cried: "Sister Vivian, Mr. will be fine!" ”

"The spirituality of the entire Black Jiaohe Land, the spirituality of the entire Seven Towers Federation, is pampering Mr., and Mr. will come back safely!"

Vivien leaned into the arms of Mulari and Mulashan, and looked at the figure of the Sinking Demon Miguil who was tracking Duke, and was stunned.

Meanwhile.

Duke was about to reach the ground, but Miguil, the Fallen Demon behind him, as fast as a ghost, rushed behind him in the blink of an eye.

Looked at.

Duke didn't dare to hold on any longer, so he could only grab the small pocket on his shoulder: "Whether you can survive or not depends on your own creation...... Who told you not to stay on the battleship! ”

He plans to throw Xiaodou from a high altitude, and whether Xiaodou can survive depends on his ability to resist falling.

"Flexibility your body and control your ...... with your tail System...... Flat...... Weigh! Duke was ready to throw the little pocket out of his hand.

At this time, everything in his field of vision was distorting and pulling.

Even his own voice became loud and ethereal.

But at the most critical moment, Xiaodou turned around and bit Duke's hand directly, and was unwilling to leave.

Rumble!

The big black smoke hand of the Sinking Demon Miguir grabbed it.

But the closest distance, in the next moment, became the farthest distance, Duke and Xiaodou's figures, together disappeared in the palm grip of the black smoke big hand.

The green ghostly fire trembled, and the Sinking Demon Miguil let out an unwilling roar.

"Roar!"

……

The stars shine.

Duke couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at the little pocket that had bitten into his hand and followed him into the dream of the stars.

"Can you follow up?" He always thought that the mark of the stars could only let him in by himself, but he didn't expect Xiaodou to be brought in, "It must be a contract, it is the knight's contract mark, and Xiaodou bit me at a critical moment, so he brought it in!" ”

"Tsk!" Knowing why, Xiao Dou quickly jumped onto Duke's shoulder, and then cautiously looked at the starry sky around him.

Duke thought of something else and patted his stomach: "Chick, can you hear me?" ”

"What!" The chick's mind responds to a lazy message.

"Great!" Duke laughed.

The knight contract can bring in a small pocket, and the elf contract can naturally bring in chickens, and maybe in the future, when studying the power of the contract, more people or things can be brought in.

Fifteen minutes.

The duration is limited.

Duke sighed: "I don't know if the battleship Bibo will become the target of the Sinking Demon Miguil after I disappear, it shouldn't be, his target is just me...... Let's hope Sel'thas arrives in time. ”

That's all he could do to comfort himself.

"But shall I stay here for fifteen minutes and return to reality, or shall I look for another star and leave somewhere else?"

Thinking that the Fallen Demon Miguil was most likely still out there, Duke immediately denied returning to reality from the same place.

Serthas was too late to have hope up for him.

"The fall of the Sinking Demon Miguir may have something to do with me, at least before he sank, he must have held a grudge against me in his heart. The Demon of Destruction only acts according to desires, and its desires are probably to kill me...... It's better to err on your side! ”

Come to think of it.

Duke made his way to the surrounding stars, and he tried to perform the Duke Feather flight here, but his fighting spirit and psionic energy had been suppressed and he couldn't use it.

You can only run forward.

"Let's go to the star first, follow the route you've taken before, and record as many of the stars as you can." Duke has already decided that he will not return to his previous position, so he must be prepared not to return in the short term.

Until you find the Tree King in the Seven Towers Federation, you can return to your homeland.

"Xiaoyi, remember the information of all the stars!"

"Good master." Unlike the dream when the will of the stars is opened, in the starry sky, Xiaoyi will not be blocked.

The next moment, however, seemed to echo Duke's thoughts.

The Duke Star under his feet suddenly stretched out a line of energy, connecting all the dozen or so stars he had checked before.

As his mind flashed, the whole person had appeared in the position of the star he wanted to go.

"Ahh Duke was startled, and then understood, "I can teleport to all the stars I 'lit' up!" ”

That's great.

Duke thought silently in his heart, wanting to go to the farthest star he had touched before, and the next moment, he was already standing next to this star.

Then move on, run to another star, and reach out and touch it.

In a trance, it turned into a big tree.

The big tree swayed in the dense forest, and a big snake that was so huge that it was impossible to see the whole picture, was entrenched on the branch of this three-ringed tree king, lazily basking in the sun, and the strength of his qi and blood made Duke feel a sense of suffocating oppression.

"Whew!"

"This giant python is definitely at the level of 9-ring wurm, and it slipped away." Duke quickly withdrew from the Treant's consciousness and returned to the starry sky.

Then he ran to the next star without looking back.

As he runs, star after star is touched, and then lit up by the Duke Star at his feet.

Each of the 3-ringed tree kings in the real world connected by these stars is not in the territory of the Seven Towers Federation, and is either in a dense jungle, a desert oasis, or a swamp poisonous mist, and some even grow in deep water.

"Master, there's one minute left until fifteen minutes." Xiaoyi reminded.

"It's time to choose a tree king." Duke's gaze wandered on the energy line under his feet, and finally locked his gaze on the star that was lit up last time, "That's it, the 3-ring elf Benshu King, and I didn't feel the aura of spirit beasts around." ”

The tree king that had given birth to the 3-ring elf was of interest to him, and wouldn't it be nice if he had the opportunity to contract a elf.

He hadn't forgotten that he had a dream to turn the sea of qi into a real fairy paradise.

In a flash of thought, the person had already appeared on the edge of the star, Duke reached out and touched it, and instantly turned into the 3-ring elf Benshu King.

"Xiaodou, come with me."

"Tsk!"

"Return!" Duke Mind Guidance.

Immediately afterwards, I felt the sky spinning, the starlight was receding sharply, and the distorted colorful light finally froze into a huge tree king.

It's like an oak tree.

It's not that high, at most a hundred meters, but the canopy covers an area of one kilometer. There are no aerial roots, and the branches extend outward for a distance of several hundred meters, and when the wind blows, there is only a slight shaking, which shows the degree of strength.

And Duke, at this moment, was standing on one of the branches of the king of the oak tree.

The branches under your feet are about ten meters thick, and you can run a black beetle cart on it, and even build a few houses, and there is a thick layer of soil, and there are large patches of grass growing on it.

It's an oak tree and an ecological little world.

"Tsk!" The little pocket also appeared on Duke's shoulder, and followed Duke to this exotic land, curiously taking in his surroundings.

"Xiaoyi, hang up the breathing method, search the surrounding environment, and in addition, all the remaining power is used to charge the Star Mark."

"Good hosts...... The owner, a group of humanoid creatures and a large elf were found to be moving quickly in the direction of the master. As soon as Xiao Yi established breathing resonance, she sensed that there was something unusual around her and sounded an alarm.

"Humanoids? Elf? Duke raised his eyebrows.

Quickly unleash the Illusion Arcane, then quietly leap into the top canopy of the oak tree and use the Illusion Arcane to cover your tracks.

The Arcane Hand was already hovering behind him, and he was holding the Two-Ringed Sand Hawk.

On the Douqi holographic screen, the red dot identified as a humanoid creature and the green dot identified as an elf mixed together and ran quickly towards his location.

"Shhh

"Twitter......"

Duke didn't run around, running around in a strange jungle would be more dangerous.

The humanoids and elves were fast, and after almost a few breaths, they were already in Duke's field of vision.

It was a humanoid creature called a "bamboo pole", and if you looked closely at the facial features, it was quite similar to Duke's elf form.

Long pointed ears, deep eye sockets, and a high nose.

It's just a little uglier, a little darker, a little more elongated, giving Duke the feeling that these are thin bamboo poles that move.

"Tentatively named 'Bamboo Pole Elf', Xiaoyi."

"Good master."

When the bamboo pole fairy reached the shade of the oak tree, he stopped, and a brownish-yellow butterfly much larger than a washbasin flew out of it, and flew deep into the canopy, towards the branch where Duke was.

The flight trajectory is very beautiful, and the form is as delicate as brown jade.

It makes people feel good when they look at it.

"Hey, can it find me?" Duke's confusion flashed, "That's right, it may be the birth of this oak tree, and there is no essential difference between me standing on the oak tree and standing on it." ”

Now that it has been discovered.

And I felt that this elf, as well as the bamboo pole elves under the tree, were not any threat, so Duke did not continue to dodge.

Judging from the breath resonance, these bamboo pole elves are basically at the level of spiritual power fluctuations of about 1 ring.

A single shot of the sand eagle can kill a large area.
