743 Realm of Illusions
A cloud floated in the air, and Gabriel, hiding in the mist, crept closer to the Herseus Valley.
In the small town outside the river valley, people gathered in the streets, talking to each other. On the one hand, they are worried that the situation will continue to deteriorate to the point that it will affect them, but on the other hand, they are reluctant to leave, after all, the foundation that has been in business for several years already has a bit of a taste of home.
The situation is even worse in the valley, where more than half of the houses have collapsed, the townspeople have suffered heavy casualties, and survivors are busy in the rubble, busy trying to help injured relatives and friends or find their belongings. Luckily, as the night wore on, the Bloodbrier's spies had finally retreated, and the remaining fires were quickly extinguished, so people didn't have to worry about it anymore.
But the turmoil at the northern end of the valley still involves everyone's heart. The bombed "Path of the Light", the "Tower of Wind" that fell from the sky, the two sides of the confrontation, each sent a legendary powerhouse to fight, but obviously, Snowton's side occupied an overwhelming advantage.
Cartroman was on par with Van Sinkel, with Vilano countering Fadreva and King Nacini stepping forward with his sword ready to wipe out the remnants of the enemy in one fell swoop.
"Formation!" Caldera shouted, ordering his men to hold off King Nacini.
This is a difficult task, and it can even be said that there is no life or death, but the Anlan warriors still go to the forefront without hesitation. Behind them, Onisha had a sad look on her face, this was already the only remaining combat power in her hands.
"Protect Your Highness!" Dozens of fire knights turned over and dismounted, protecting her and Christina in front of her. These tall knights, breathing heavily, with a strong smell of sulfur, indicate that they only have the last two years left to live.
"Huh?" meet the agents of the Blood Brier. Still cowering and hiding behind, Christina snorted dissatisfiedly.
"What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and stop the enemy!" Rubio hurriedly reprimanded, he stood beside Onisha with Allegri on his back, this position was quite safe, so his voice was also very loud.
So after the Anlan battle formation. Short arrows were shot. The "Blood Rose" agent is equipped with a hand crossbow of the Torm Federation, which can penetrate iron armor within thirty steps.
"Native chickens and dogs, vulnerable. King Nacini swung his sword lightly, and the sword qi turned into a wheel, knocking all the arrows that came into his way. This kind of small means is not enough to pose a threat to the legendary warrior.
"Your Majesty. Allegri is not a Snowton, how can he betray him?" Seeing that he was about to burst into battle and slaughter the Anlan soldiers, Onesha suddenly shouted from afar.
"He is the earl of my canonization, and now he has taken refuge in Buyada, why is he not betraying me?" King Nacini said in a cold voice, he trusted Allegri so much, so the other party betrayed. It made him even angrier.
"Could it be that the king forgot? Before that, he was my canonized earl. Onetsa's tone. I can't tell whether it's self-deprecation or sadness.
King Nacini was choked, and it was he himself who issued the edict that overturned Anlan. He thought that Onessa had forgotten all this, but he ignored it. Hatred is such an unforgettable power. It is like a fire that burns in the bones, and if it has to burn the blood dry and the marrow burn out, it will not die without dying.
"So. Did you incite Allegri to commit treason?" King Nacini swept his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Go out of your way and let him speak to me himself." ”
"I'm afraid it won't work," Onessa replied in a clear voice with a gesture of her hand, "In order to activate this magic circle, he has exhausted all his magic power, and he can't reply for the time being. ”
"Are you unable to reply, or are you shameless to see me?" King Nacini swung his sword and strode closer, his eyes as if he wanted to breathe fire, "Allegri, when I canonized you, did you forget all those vows?"
His questioning voice caused a commotion among the security forces not far away, and the faction that leaned towards Snowton got up and rushed out one after another, lining up behind King Nacini, which could be regarded as a statement of position.
"Your Highness?" Christina was smiling at all of this, but a whisper of Rubiang came from her ear. She turned her head to the side and asked with a look of hope what had happened.
The bright eyes made Rubiang stunned for a moment, and then reported in a low voice, "Your Highness, he is about to wake up." ”
As if hearing King Nachini's question, Allegri's eyelids were trembling, and they could open at any moment.
"The effect of the medicine has passed?" Christina glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Don't hurt him, but don't let him talk nonsense either." ”
"Yes. Rubion agreed, and thought sharply about how to fulfill the order. He has a hundred ways to make the other person speechless, such as cutting out the tongue, or cutting off the head, but if you want it to be intact, it is a little tricky.
Onisha had been paying attention to the situation here, and when she heard Christina's words, she finally relented and continued to mediate with King Nachina, "Your Majesty, don't waste your efforts, let's think about how to return to the north." ”
"Didn't you blow up the 'Path of the Lightwalkers' so that our army would have nowhere to go and lose both sides with the Holy See of Light?" King Nacini snorted coldly, "In this way, your two great enemies will be avenged." ”
"The king is right," Onisha clapped her hands and laughed, "but once this road is broken, Snowton's army will not be able to return north, and where can they go except to fight to the death in the south?"
"It's really vicious," King Nacini swept forward, swaying his sword qi, and fought his way through the battle array, rushing straight towards Christina, shouting loudly, "Take you, sacrifice the flag for my army!"
Van Schinkel, who was fighting with Cartroman, smiled mysteriously at this time, and his fingers flicked slightly.
King Nacini, who was rushing, suddenly changed the scenery in his field of vision, and the snow under his feet turned into a barren meadow.
In front of you, there is a towering ancient castle, the doors and windows are deep, there is no light, only in the night sky, a blood moon hangs.
"Illusion, or realm?" said King Nacini, who immediately stopped his tracks to avoid falling deeper and deeper. Illusion is a special magic circle, which is pre-laid by illusionists, and once you step in, it is difficult to break through.
Of course, this is for ordinary martial artists, you must know that no matter what kind of magic circle, there is a hub for the flow of magic power. If it's a legendary master. With a keen sense of intuition and subtle knowledge, it is not difficult to find out where the hub of the magic circle is, and if they take a step back, even if they can't find it, they can still use their strength. Directly destroy everything around you, although it takes a lot of energy, but at least you won't get trapped.
The first method adopted by King Nacini was adopted. He looked around, and saw that everything around him was lifelike, the grass stalks were fluttering, and the night owls were chirping, and he didn't even notice it. There are traces of magic flowing.
Outside the illusion, the Anlan warriors were stunned to find that the menacing King Nacini suddenly stopped and looked confused. In the snow beneath his feet, blood-colored lines were revealed, but few people in the field noticed that it was before. Where Van Schinkel used to pace back and forth.
The warriors looked at each other for a moment, and finally mustered up their courage. Grip your sword tightly and carefully gather around. But behind him, there was a cry from Christina, "Stand back!
After all, in the illusion, it was a legendary powerhouse, if it disturbed him. It would be self-defeating to let it break through.
"Your Majesty?" Cattroman also sensed that something was wrong, and he stabbed him three times in a row, forcing Van Schinkel to retreat, and wanted to go to the rescue. But the old duke flicked with five fingers. There was a loud sound, and one after another sharp blades shot out, straight or curved, and struck Cattroman's vest.
Carter Roman, in desperation, had no choice but to turn around and fight Van Sinkel again. Soon, half an hour passed, but King Nacini still showed no sign of waking up.
"Legendary Illusionist?" Viranoo, in the distance, kept an eye on the battle here. Seeing this scene, the old magician exclaimed, a little incredulous.
Even if it is an illusion arranged by a high-ranking illusioner, it can't trap the legendary warrior, and the king has not been able to break it so far, there is only one explanation, that is, the level of the erector is almost the same as the king, and even surpasses.
But on the mainland, how can there be a legendary illusionist, the cultivation and promotion of this mixed school is several times more difficult than the elemental school, and he, the "Star Caller" Biranoo, was only recently broken through with the help of some mysterious forces and entered the legendary realm.
The old magician gritted his teeth, withdrew the magic that interfered with the Tower of Wind, and chanted another spell. Before he can obtain the authorization of King Nacini, he must guarantee his safety.
"Who the hell are you?" Cartroman's sword flickered, and the attack was like a storm, and he stared at the red-robed old man, his eyes full of surprise.
He was able to trap King Nacini with his illusion and contend with his martial arts, and his opponent's strength was truly amazing, and among the opponents he encountered, only Banargomo, the king of the fire demons, could compare to him.
But he can be sure that this person is definitely not a purgatory demon.
"Don't you know that the old man is the Duke of Buyada, the head of the Red Rose family?" said Van Schinkel with a smile. Between the turns of his body, he barely needed to breathe, just like a yin spirit, every time he couldn't do it, he suddenly struck. For a time, Carter Roman's left and right were left and right, and he actually fell behind.
At the same time, the king of Nacini in the illusion roared violently, his whole body was full of energy, and his sword qi rushed into the sky, slashing at everything in front of him with all his might.
The trees were broken, the crows were frightened, but the castle stood majestically, not a single brick or tile was damaged.
"It turned out to be here. King Nacini snorted, stepped forward, and pushed the heavy wooden door open. The interior of the castle was the most common in the South, and he walked back and forth, through cobwebbed tables, chairs, and candlesticks, and soon found the back door, and then pushed it out without hesitation.
In front of him, there is a barren grass, a looming path, at the end of which is a towering castle, and dozens of crows perched on the dead trees beside the road.
King Nacini looked back in astonishment, his back empty, and the castle he had just passed through was gone.
"It's ...... Legendary Illusion?" He made a judgment in his heart. It is both an illusion and a realm, which is a realm that can only be reached by a legendary-level illusionist.
The more advanced the magic circles of other genres, the more magical hubs there are, and the more complex the circuits. But the illusion circle is just the opposite, low-level illusion, flaws can be seen everywhere, the higher it goes, the less magic hubs there are, and the more realistic the scene of the structure, if it reaches the legendary level, the realm and the illusion are combined, in the huge illusion, there is only one hidden hub, if you can't find this, then the illusion will be interlocked, and it will never end.
What can I do?, King Nacini frowned, and as he walked forward, he swung his sword in his hand to relieve his irritation. He walked path after path, through castle after castle, but there was always the same scene, waiting in front of him, waiting for him to embark on the loop again.
On the other side, Vilano finished chanting and stretched out his fingers. In the eastern sky, a starlight suddenly fell and fell into the heart of King Nacini.
In the illusion world, above the night, next to the blood moon, a little starlight appeared, clear and clean, like a flawless crystal.
King Nacini quickly noticed the subtle difference, and when he looked up, he saw the point of light slowly falling from the sky and hanging between his eyes.
King Nacini waited silently, Starlight blinked mischievously, and rose into the night sky again, finally embedded in the center of the Blood Moon, unmoving.
King Nacini suddenly realized, jumped to his feet, and stabbed with his long sword. A sharp sword qi shot straight towards the blood moon, and immediately penetrated into it and came out.
In the snow under his feet, those blood-colored lines gradually faded away, never to be seen again.
And that fantasy realm was also shattered piece by piece, turning into blood-colored bats, squeaking and swarming.
"Drink!" King Nacini opened his mouth like a lion roaring, and the wind stirred and blew away all the blood bats. He looked around and saw that everyone was there, the scenery was still there, and it had returned to reality.
"Thank you, Master," he thanked Vilaneo from afar, then turned to Van Sinkel and glared angrily, "Old horseman, how dare you plot against me!"
Vilano nodded, just looking at the Tower of the Wind, looking a little worried.
His illusion was easily solved, but Van Schinkel was not surprised. As early as the Middle Ages, star mages were the natural enemies of illusionists. Relying on the magnetic force of the stars, they can clearly perceive the precise location of the outside world, so as to peek through the magic maze. The Star of Enlightenment that Villanoo had just cast was one of the most common realm-breaking spells, and without its guidance, King Nacini would not have been able to escape.
"It's too late, the Tower of the Wind, it's already activated. Seeing that King Nacini was about to attack again, the old man in the red robe laughed loudly, withdrew quickly, and stood in front of Christina.
In mid-air, there was a rumbling sound, like thunder roaring, and like the wind sweeping pine waves.
