Chapter 298: Nightmare

"Xiaodou, fit!"

Feeling the new gelatinous fighting spirit of the 3-Ring Phantom Beast Knight, Duke called for Xiao Dou to merge again, and in an instant, a set of pitch-black and shiny spiked armor was draped on his body.

From head to toe, not a single part of the body was exposed, and even a pair of eyes were covered by a mask, leaving only two narrow transparent films of light to see.

The wasp sword was in the hand, longer and thicker than before, and extended a little at the tail to join the armor of the hand.

It does not hinder the use of various fighting skills, but also ensures that the wasp sword will not be released.

The gelatinous fighting qi sprayed out, and the fighting qi armor continued to change with the spraying of the fighting qi, extending or contracting, condensing spikes or closing together into a knife.

Promoted from 2 rings to 3 rings, the spiked armor transformed by Xiao Dou is also becoming more and more agile, echoing Duke's every move.

This is a set of dynamic spiked armor that can breathe.

Duke glanced down at the chest of the spiked armor, and beneath the shiny black sheen, only he could see that there was a three-ring structure mark of a snar, which was the seal of the knight's contract, and from this seal, Duke could receive feedback.

That's about the whole new power that the Spiked Armor can exert when combined.

"Spike Field!"

Duke roared, and the fighting energy continued to pour into the spiked armor, and in an instant, the spiked armor seemed to be burned red, radiating a black and red light.

Then the spikes poured out like a torrential rain in all directions. A good small courtyard for practicing martial arts, directly ploughed three feet by spikes, and the walls and ground were full of bullet holes left by spikes, but there were no spikes left.

The spikes shot by the spiked armor were just imitations of fighting spirit.

"It's fierce, it's about the equivalent of being bombarded by 2 rings of arcane." Looking at the dilapidated martial arts training courtyard, Duke silently weighed in his heart.

It's just that there are some enemies and I don't distinguish between them, and we need to pay attention to the occasion when we use them.

"Judging by the strength division standard of the arcane mage, the strength of the 3-ring high-level phantom beast knight after the merger can barely keep up with the footsteps of the 3-ring arcane mage, and after the merger is lifted, the 3-ring high-level phantom beast knight can only barely be higher than the 2-ring arcane mage."

Combined.

The strength of the 3-ring high-level phantom beast knight is between the 3-ring arcane mage and the 2-ring arcane mage, and it can be judged to be about 2.5 rings.

Of course.

There are too few Phantom Beast Knights, and even fewer high-level Phantom Beast Knights, which are rarer than the Great Arcane Mage, and it is rare to see them in leisure.

Breaking the fit and motioning for Xiao Dou to go to rest, Duke himself went back to the tower to take a bath.

The dilapidated small courtyard of martial arts training, naturally, the service staff of the castle came to clean it up, ensuring that it would be refreshed again tomorrow and not delay Duke's next cultivation.

After taking a shower and leaving no one to accompany him, Duke plans to sleep alone tonight.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he began his daily uninterrupted evening class, first looking inwardly at Linghai and glancing at Xiaoyi's schedule.

Since being promoted to the 4-ring earth arcane mage, the hardware has been improved, and Xiaoyi's computing power has increased geometrically.

"Process 1: Exclusive meditation method, vision resonance, spiritual boiling, projection fountain, 3% power consumption of hang-up. At present, the Spirit Sea level, the 4 Rings Earth Arcane Mage Scholar, the cultivation progress is estimated to be 1.11%, and the time budget is immeasurable. ”

The exclusive meditation method for hanging up only needs to divide 3% of Xiaoyi's power now.

In addition to the early buff blessing of vision resonance, there is also a new buff blessing of spiritual boiling, which doubles the speed of absorbing free spiritual particles from the outside world, and after the spiritual particles enter the spiritual sea, they are more active.

In the past, it took a lot of effort to transport and construct arcane wonders from the spiritual particles in the spiritual sea.

Now it's a breeze.

It is precisely because the spiritual particles are as active as boiling that the Great Ao Master will always dissipate the aura of spiritual particles from the outside world and form an aura oppression on others.

Of course.

The speed at which the Exclusive Meditation absorbs spiritual particles is far greater than the speed at which the spiritual particles escape from oneself.

Even in places where the spiritual energy is dry, the boiling spiritual particles in the spiritual sea of the Great Arcane Mage will bring projections from the real spiritual sea, and along with their own spiritual particles, they will escape outward together, and then be absorbed back by the exclusive meditation method, so as to maintain a minimum consumption state.

This state of being like eating subsistence is the exclusive ability of Master Oku, the Fountain of Projection.

As long as you clear the fog of spiritual arcane, you will have the ability of the projection spring, as if you have dug a super weak spiritual spring for yourself.

Even if the Great Arcane Mage is in a desperate situation, he can rely on the Fountain of Projection and slowly accumulate spiritual energy to save himself.

"The Great Arcane Mage who normally clears the fog of spiritual arcane law should have a projection spring, but the Great Arcane mage who relies on the Spirit Rhino Road to smuggle in, I'm afraid there will be no projection spring." Duke already understood why others cared if he had followed the path of the Spirit.

The lack of the Fountain of Projection doesn't seem to affect anything, after all, the Great Arcian mage rarely falls into a desperate situation, and there is always an aura to absorb.

However, the lack of this ability is too restrictive for the future exploration of the spiritual arcane path.

"Process 2: Sand Eagle 2.4 Instant Kill Version, R&D consumes 50% of power. At present, the R&D progress is 56.72%, and the time budget is 15 days. "On the progress chart, the progress has increased from one decimal place to two decimal places.

It represents Xiaoyi's prediction accuracy and has been sublimated.

"Before the promotion, the Sand Eagle 2.4 instant kill version, the budget took hundreds of days, after the promotion, Xiaoyi's power has been greatly improved, and it only takes ten days to complete the research and development...... It's really dozens of times faster, the stronger I am, the stronger Xiaoyi is! ”

Duke was overwhelmed with emotion.

As for the Sand Eagle 2.4 Instant Kill Version, it is his next plan for the Second Ring Sand Eagle, which increases the bullet speed to achieve the effect of instant kill.

At present, the muzzle velocity of the second ring sand hawk bullet is about one kilometer per second.

However, the firing range of the second-ring sand eagle has reached a distance of several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers, that is to say, it takes more than ten seconds for the bullet to fly for more than ten seconds to shoot at a target ten kilometers away.

This speed is obviously slow, and by the time the bullets arrive, the target will probably be far away.

Therefore, he intends to speed up the bullet speed of the second ring sand eagle, and strive to reach the maximum value, no matter how far the gun is fired, it can hit the target in one second.

"Only in this way can you kill the opponent by surprise outside the sight distance of the target." Duke wants to be a sniper, and if he misses a hit, he will immediately flee thousands of miles away, without a trace, and will not let the other party know that he exists, whether he can kill or not.

He showed a smile: "When the Sand Eagle 2.4 Instant Kill version is successfully developed, the Sand Eagle in my hand will be a sniper Gatling." ”

The thought flashed through my mind.

Duke has already looked at the follow-up of the schedule: "Process 3: Arcane Armor, research and development consumes 46% of the power. At present, the R&D progress is 22.32%, and the time budget is 26 days. Process 4: Interactive program, reserve 1% power. ”

There weren't too many processes, and a few projects before the promotion were still maintained.

"The Fourth Ring Orbit has appeared, and now it can build new arcane wonders, as well as new arcane weapons...... According to the original plan, when the Sand Eagle 2.4 Instant Kill Edition and the Arcane Armor are developed, a defensive arcane spectacle will be built on the fourth ring track. ”

Take life-saving measures, and then you can slowly build the second and third ring tracks.

By the time the evening class was over, the night was already deep.

Duke lay on the bed and breathed more and more, and had already fallen into a good dream, and in the dim room, Xiaodou lay on a chair draped in a blanket, and also fell asleep on all fours, and its routine was the same as Duke's.

At this moment, the moonlight outside the house spilled in, and the originally reflective glass suddenly condensed into an ink-colored ice flower as if it was frozen.

Soon the inky ice flowers began to spread, from the glass to the entire window, and then from the window to the inside of the room, engulfing the tables, chairs and benches, staining the walls and furniture in the room with a thick layer of inky ice flowers, until the chair where Xiao Dou was sitting.

"Hiss......" Before Xiaodou could scream, he was completely engulfed by the ink-colored ice flower and froze into an ink-colored ice sculpture.

Although he couldn't move or breathe, Xiao Dou's eyes could still move.

In amazement, he watched as the inky ice flower spread all the way to the bed, and spread towards Duke in the quilt.

Seeing that Duke was about to be engulfed by inky ice flowers, Xiao Dou's small eyes flashed with anxiety and panic, but he couldn't make a sound.

I could only watch as the ink-colored ice flowers spread into the quilt.

However, in the next moment, countless slender rattans suddenly grew on Duke in the quilt, which actually resisted the spread of the inky ice flowers.

A flash of surprise flashed in Xiao Dou's eyes.

Then he saw Duke standing up from the quilt, naked and wearing only a pair of boxers, but now his body was wrapped with phantom rattans, and he was clothed in a garment of green leaves.

"Sinking Demon!"

Duke didn't have the slightest look of panic, the room full of inky ice flowers revealed a rich aura of destruction demon, which was a kind of decaying spiritual aura.

The spirituality that should have been fresh and fragrant seems to have been thrown into the toilet and pickled for hundreds of years, and every spiritual particle is tainted with a disgusting stench, which makes people resent this breath from the depths of their souls, and associates it with all kinds of filth.

A few years ago, he had smelled this rotten spiritual aura in the body of the Sinking Demon Miguil.

The 3-ring combination Arcane-Yuan Energy Armor was instantly draped on his body, and Duke held his right hand weakly, and the two-ring sand eagle had already appeared in his hand.

Puff puff!

It was a barrage of strafing at the window.

The glass through which the inky ice flowers spread hardly withstood the power of the armor-piercing bullets, leaving the windows intact.

Then, as if enraged, the ink-colored ice flower quickly grew slender black hairs, making the whole room seem to become some kind of demonic stomach, wriggling to engulf everything in the room.

"Nightmare!" In his other hand, Duke pinched a Moonlight Caged Jade Pendant taken out of the exclusive starry sky, but he couldn't crush it, which made him quickly judge his situation, "It's not the real world, it's a nightmare created by the Sinking Demon!" ”

His heart was as calm as water, and he looked at the thickening black hair, engulfing the room more and more cramped, and thought silently.

"There are two ways to attack the Sinking Demon, one is the real battle in the real world, and this is how the Sinking Demon Miguir attacked me last time; One is to create a nightmare, break the twisted ring in the nightmare, and thus make people fall! ”

Now.

He was dragged into a nightmare, apparently intent on engulfing him unwittingly and becoming one of them.

"Obviously, the Demon of Destruction can't attack me in reality, so he pulls me into a nightmare instead." Duke wanted to laugh, but held back.

The wriggling black hair was about to swallow the room, and in the dark room, Duke could still see.

With the help of the faint light emitted by the elemental energy armor on his body, he could barely discern the shape of the object.

But he didn't rely on his own eyes, but on the mysterious weapon Tongtian that had been condensed by him, and the arcane weapon Tongtian had countless means of perception, so that everything around him could not escape Duke's detection.

"It's time to work, little pocket, don't play dead." He leaped forward, stepped on the black hair on the floor under his feet, and touched the stool of the small pocket.

The rattan and green leaves on his body turned into a pair of shoes, supporting him to walk on the black hair, and he was not harmed by the black hair.

This is the power of the Guardian Mystery.

"The nightmare is eroding my spiritual sea, and at this moment, the Guardian Mystic Vine has finally come in handy." Duke was pleased.

The Guardian Mystic Vine was of no use at all before, and could only protect the Spirit Sea.

But Duke has always been smooth sailing, and has not been invaded by any external evil in his spiritual sea, even when he was affected by the gods, it did not affect the spiritual sea, but was shaken by his five senses. Therefore, the vine of protection and mystery has never been useful.

Now it's finally working.

Poof!

The gunshots rang out, and the black hair on Xiaodou's body was hit one after another by armor-piercing bullets, but it was not damaged in the slightest.

Duke frowned slightly, and then thought of something, and directly switched the two-ring sand eagle to the special effect bullet-elemental version, and bombarded the black hair again with the elemental bullet.

At this moment, the black hair was finally shattered, and Xiaodou jumped out unharmed: "Roar! ”

Then it slammed into Duke's body, turning into a puddle of pitch-black liquid, condensing into a pitch-black and shiny spiked armor that wrapped Duke up and down.

At this moment, Duke had several layers of armor on his body.

The Spike Armor is a layer of armor, the Yuan Energy Armor is a layer of armor, and the Guardian Mystic Vine is a layer of armor, but he is not satisfied.

"Oak, come out and work!"

"Okay, Master Duke."

The acorn flew out of the sea of air, gently latched on to one of Duke's outstretched fingers, and then turned into a puddle of brown liquid and merged into Duke's body.

Pulling, stretching.

Duke entered the Avatar form in an instant, his height soared to a height of three or four meters, and a pair of bat-like fleshy wings grew on his back.

The spiked armor tugged at his figure, still firmly encasing any part of his body.

The same is true for the Yuan Energy Armor.

The arcane weapon has been embedded in the spiked armor, and it is inextricably linked, constantly perceiving all the information around it.

"In this way, the Avatar form, the vine of guardianship mystery, the spiked armor, the Yuan energy armor, and the arcane weapon are stacked with five layers of armor, which is really refreshing, and it makes me feel like I can blow it with one punch in the face of the Sinking Demon."

Duke clenched his fists, and in an instant, a sense of security exploded.

He condensed the two-ringed sand eagle in his left hand and held the wasp sword in his right hand, facing the increasingly turbulent black hair, and roared.

Rumble!

The two-ring sand eagle strafed, and countless elemental bullets were fired in a volley, and there was no fixed target, pointing to where to shoot.

The spiked armor is even more incarnated into the spike realm, and the black thorn erupts wildly, indiscriminately attacking up and down, left and right, front and back, the fighting spirit is inexhaustible, and the attacks are endless.

Boom Boom!

The black hair was poured out by such powerful firepower, and the whole thing was rolled around, and the room that was originally engulfed was spit back little by little.

"With this bit of strength, you dare to sneak attack me?" Duke turned into a humanoid turret, and under his powerful and continuous firepower, the black hair was shattered in a short period of time, turning into black smoke and dissipating, and then the entire room was restored to its original state.

The black hair was completely gone, and only a few inky ice flowers remained, still hanging from the window of the room.

The whole room seemed to be impregnable, and the bombardment did not leave any trace in the room.

He carried the wasp sword upside down, and put one foot on the window, and he kicked open the window that the bombardment could not blow up.

The next moment.

He chased the inky ice flowers extending from the window, and rushed directly out of the window, and in an instant, all the scenery changed.

Where else was the room, where he stood was a twisted ring in the center of the spirit core.

Behind it is the portal of the Twisted Ring, which leads to the original intention he guards, and the Nightmare Attack of the Sinking Demon is to force Duke to open the portal, so as to get into Duke's original intention and twist Duke into the new Sinking Demon.

He looked forward, and the inky ice flower had engulfed the entire spiritual sea, and reached out to his spiritual core, which was about to shrink back at this moment.

Duke glanced down at himself.

Originally, there were five layers of armor, but at this moment, all the armor quietly disappeared, and he was just a thought of looking at the spiritual sea inside.

"In reality, I should still be lying in bed and sleeping, and so should my little pocket...... However, merging with Xiaodou and Acorn should also be real, it happened in the nightmare space, for me, for Xiaodou and Acorn, these are just dreams. ”

It can also be understood that everything that came before was a projection of spirituality.

The Sinking Demon uses spirituality to create a mirror world, that is, the Nightmare Space, and pulls Duke, Xiaodou, and Oak into it.

Without thinking about it any more, Duke's mind looked at the retreating ink-colored ice flower, and smiled indifferently: "Xiaoyi, I have already felt the nightmare attack, and then I will leave it to you to clean up the battlefield, and it is best to leave the Sinking Demon completely." ”

"Good master, as you wish." Xiao Yi's voice rose from all directions of the Spirit Sea, "The location of the nightmare has been locked and is being captured." ”

Xiaoyi's voice did not fall.

The entire spiritual sea suddenly boiled, and countless meditation visions and mysterious visions of the Tree King directly tore apart the ink-colored ice flowers in the churning.

In the blink of an eye, the ink-colored ice flower that engulfed the entire spiritual sea was swept away.

There are only three small black dots, which are particularly conspicuous in the spiritual sea.

Gradually, these three small black dots turned into three sinking demons, black smoke billowing all over their bodies, white bones looming in the smoke, and ghost fire flickering in the holes in their eyes.

"Three!" Duke was overjoyed, "Xiaoyi, you cow, you actually caught three sinking demons!" ”

Xiao Yi replied: "With the authorization of the master, all Xiao Yi in the Spirit Sea can be controlled, after the invasion of these three Sinking Demons, Xiao Yi has locked their true bodies, mobilized the power of the Spirit Sea, and locked them in place...... However, according to Xiaoyi's analysis, these three sinking demons are just clones. ”

"Doppelganger?" Duke raised an eyebrow.

As early as when the Sinking Demon invaded Duke's spiritual sea with the help of spiritual projection and created a nightmare space, Xiaoyi had already noticed and reminded Duke.

After making sure that Xiao Yi could lock up the Sinking Demon, Duke motioned for Xiao Yi to let him go and feel the nightmare attack for himself.

In other words, everything in the nightmare space just now was deliberately connived at by Duke.

"Nightmares, like arcane mages, have the ability to condense clones." Xiao Yi grabbed the three Sinking Demon clones.

This doppelganger is not consistent with the clone phantom condensed by the arcane mage, it is more like a part of it has been cut off from the body of the Fallen Demon Truth.

"Rotten Spirituality!" Duke frowned, "Control them well, don't let them leak their breath and pollute my spiritual sea...... By the way, Xiaoyi, what is the use of these three sinking demon clones? ”

Xiao Yi responded: "Based on the master's previous conversations with the eight Radiant Moon Arcane Masters, Xiao Yi has concluded that the effect of the Sinking Demon Clone can be captured as an additional ring orbital slot, similar to the two-ring Sand Eagle, the Duke Star, and the Nine-Ring Xiaoyi. ”

"Well, I remember!" Duke nodded.

When he returned to the Seven Towers Federation from the Grand Duchy of Broken Ice, he personally received several Moonlight Caged Jade Pendants from the eight Radiant Moon Arcane Mentors.

And I chatted with every Radiant Moon Arcane Master.

In particular, I inquired about the relevant information of the Sinking Demon, and learned that the Sinking Demon can not only sneak attack in reality, but also create a nightmare space and break through the Arcane Mage's twisted ring.

The nightmare space is equivalent to being hypnotized, and the arcane mage will unknowingly reveal the flaws, and then be taken advantage of by the Sinking Demon to break through the twisted ring, leaving the demon seed in the twisted ring, and when the seed sprouts, he will lose his original intention.

Thus degenerate into a demon of destruction.

"Before the invention of the Twisted Ring, the ancestors of the Arcane would have lost their hearts and fallen into the Demon of Doom if they were not careful...... The Twisted Ring is a great invention, but even the most secure locks run the risk of being picked open. ”

Duke still remembers that the Upper Council member Andrei Evening Primrose was rarely awake and warned him: "Nightmares are not difficult to deal with, the difficult thing is to guard the portal, as long as you keep the portal and do not forget your original intention, the nightmares will be helpless against you, they are just a group of clowns who take advantage of the situation." ”

"When the nightmare is solved, the clone of the Sinking Demon will remain in the spiritual sea like a great supplement, and the clone is an arcane weapon and arcane wonder with a few rings, isn't it wonderful. Duke boy, the old man can only say that if you encounter a nightmare, guard the door, and the rest will wait to enjoy the big supplement! ”

At that time, Andre Evening Primrose was talking and laughing: "The stars are afraid that I will degenerate into a sinking demon, but I will never be, my original intention is like a bright moon, and no one can change ......"

The voice did not fall.

Andrei Evening Primrose lost focus and became confused.

Coming back to his senses, Duke looked at the three Sinking Demons who were wrapped into zongzi by Xiaoyi with spiritual particles, and said with a slight smile: "My original intention may be unstable, but with Xiaoyi protecting my Dharma, how can a mere Sinking Demon be able to conquer." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, it is the warped ring that reveals flaws in ordinary people that will attract the Sinking Demon to launch a nightmare. There is no flaw in my warped ring, and the Demon of Destruction is coming, isn't this a tonic for me? ”

At this time.

Xiao Yi has already analyzed the level of the three Sinking Demon clones: "Master, one of the Sinking Demon clones is at the 6-ring level, and the other two are at the 5-ring level. ”

"Hmm!" Duke touched his chin and said happily, "In other words, I have two more slots on the fifth ring track and one more slot on the sixth ring track...... This, I really want to sink Mordor to attack me a few times, and then there will be more slots! ”

Then he ordered: "First refine one of the 5-ring clones, and after refining it, build an arcane wonder, a 5-ring compound arcane-brilliant gem." ”

"Good master."

"In addition, on the second ring track, build 2 rings of arcane-stone skin; On the third ring track, build 3 rings of arcane - Thunder Grip; On the fourth ring track, build a 4-ring compound Arcane-Earth Armor. When you have time, you can refine the 6-ring clone and build an arcane wonder, the 6-ring compound arcane-meteor grasp. ”

Duke lays out the next series of work steps.

Then he smiled enthusiastically: "From 1 ring to 6 rings, a whole set of arcane wonders, all of which can be linked, wonderful!" ”

1 Ring Arcane - Arcane Shield.

2 Rings Arcane - Elemental Shield.

3-Ring Arcane - Elemental Armor.

Among them, 1 ring and 2 rings are linked, which can form a 2-ring combination Arcane-Elemental Arcane Shield, and 1 ring, 2 rings, and 3 rings are linked, which can form a 3-ring combination Arcane-Yuan Energy Armor.

The arcane spectacle that Duke is going to build, the 4-ring composite arcane-earth armor, is a new arcane spell model composed of three arcane spell models, the arcane shield, the elemental shield and the elemental armor, which are specially nested and combined in the structure to form a new arcane.

5-Ring Compound Arcane-Brilliant Gem, on top of these three basic arcane spell models, the 2-ring Arcane-Stone Skin spell model is introduced, and then specially nested and combined.

The 6-Ring Composite Arcane-Falling Star Grip introduces the 3-Ring Arcane-Thunder Grip on the above four arcane spell models, and then undergoes a complex reorganization.

"When these arcane wonders are all completed, from 1 ring to 6 rings, I will be able to combine them into a 7-ring forbidden spell - Immortal Grip!" Arcane wonders can be linked to each other, and forbidden spells are the superposition of several linked arcane to form a more powerful arcane.

Loren Sankagome's 6-ring clone, which can cast forbidden spells, is to rely on itself to establish a set of linkage arcane wonders.

Duke should do the same.

"And my slots are more vacant, maybe I can establish another set of attack type forbidden magic wonder linkage system......"
